Chapter 2073 – Plan
When the haze split apart, a young girl clad in five-colored feathered clothes suddenly appeared on the mountain.
The young girl had snow-white skin and a beautiful face, and it was none other than the Ye Clan’s Combined Female Cultivator.
”Sure enough, it is Fairy Ye, but the fairy has only arrived now, could it be that she has not previously lived in Illusory Night City?” The Long Family’s old ancestor asked with a hint of a smile on his face.
”My concubine just arrived here half a month ago. I don’t cultivate any devilish gong-type techniques, and even though I have a pseudo devil bead to conceal it, I wouldn’t dare to easily enter the city. I wanted to observe for a few more days before considering entering the city. However, looking at Brother Long and Fellow Daoist Hui, they seem to have just arrived. And Fellow Daoist Hui’s state, it’s not too good!” The feather-clothed girl blinked her eyes, swept a glance at the black-robed man, and said with some doubt.
”It’s a shame to say. Mister Long had quite a few twists and turns on the road, and only came here yesterday, not as early as Fairy. On the contrary, it’s you, Daoist Han, who seems to have been here for quite some time. Hui Xian Di, is in the rush out of the sea of ants happened to run into the ant queen, and a moment of carelessness in its poison, but the good thing is that has taken the avoidance of poison pills, and I have been on the road to help its power refining, which delayed for such a long time. Good thing, Hui Xian Di is no longer in any serious trouble today.” The Long Clan’s old ancestor sighed and said back.
”Having been poisoned by the Ant Queen, it’s no wonder Brother Hui has become like this. The reason why my little sister arrived here late was that she mistakenly entered a dangerous place in the wasteland and was trapped for several months before she finally managed to escape.” The feather-clothed maiden was first a bit dazed, and then explained herself slightly with a palpitating heart.
”Mister Han, on the contrary, didn’t encounter too much trouble on the way, and arrived at Illusory Night City a few months ago, and also stayed within the city. However, besides the three Daoists, the Spirit Race and the trace of Daoist Lin are likewise missing! It’s not like they’ve had some sort of accident if they haven’t arrived by now.” Han Li, however, said with a frown.
”It shouldn’t be. Taoist Friend Lin is also a Harmonization Stage cultivator and is good at several top-ranked evasion techniques, so even if he encounters a strong enemy and is not defeated, he will have no problem escaping. And the Spirit Clan’s group of people are acting together, it’s even more unlikely that anything will happen.” The Long Clan’s old ancestor’s face sank slightly as he thought for a moment before saying.
”This can’t be easy to say. Originally, my concubine thought the same way. But in reality, the Devil Realm Wasteland is significantly more dangerous than the savage lands of our Spirit Realm. Even my concubine was trapped in one place for several months, it’s not impossible that they encountered some kind of non-human-resistant trouble in the barren land.” The feather-clothed maiden’s complexion straightened, and she spoke in disagreement.
”Forget it, it’s useless to say anything more nowadays. Anyway, the agreed-upon time has not yet expired, so we’ll just continue to wait. By the way, since you, Mr. Han, came so long ago, I think you already have an understanding of everything in the city can you explain it to us, and see if you can get that eight-legged devil lizard first.” The Long family’s old ancestor said this to Han Li after a moment of silence.
”This is naturally no problem!” Han Li sniffed and agreed without thinking.
”Illusory Night City is now jointly held by the Four Great Families and some other forces such as the Ten Thousand Slave Pagoda. However, the Eight-Footed Demon Lizard in it is only owned by the Four Great Families. If you want to get this Demon Lizard, the only way to do so is to start with the several great families. But this eight-legged magic lizard is very important to the four great families, involving the foothold of these families in the Illusory Night City, so want to acquire through ordinary methods, it is simply impossible. Mister Han was lucky, when he first came here, he happened to have a little relationship with the White Family and helped them solve a tricky matter, thus asking for two Eight-Footed Demon Lizards from them. But if you want to get more Demon Lizards from the White Family, I’m afraid it’s unlikely. However, the three fellow Daoists can try their luck with a few other families and see if they can exchange some rare treasures for a few Demon Lizards from them. As far as I understand it, the Ning and Fang families among them seem to ……”
Han Li didn’t hide anything and recounted the information he knew one by one. It took a full meal for him to talk about the situation in Illusory Night City as well as the major forces.
At first, hearing Han Li say that he had gotten two eight-legged Demon Lizards, the Long Family Ancestors were all energized, revealing a joyful look, but then after hearing the situation in the city in detail, they all revealed a thoughtful expression.
When Han Li finally stopped talking, the Long family ancestor said thoughtfully, ”Congratulations to Brother Han for solving the problem of the devil lizard first, but I just heard that this eight-legged devil lizard is the four great families’ foothold here, why is this, can you say more specifically. And roughly how many devil lizards can there be in these clans?”
”As far as I know, there are only dozens of these eight-legged devil lizards in each family. The reason why these lizards are valued by these families is because they can freely enter and exit the Phantom Whistling Desert. Only with these Demon Lizards, the several major Demon Clans of Illusory Night City are able to go deep into the depths of the Illusory Tsunami Desert, searching for various rare material origins, and can transport them out in a steady stream. Think about it, involving such a large interest in it, these clans would only feel that such magical beasts are too few, and how would they easily give it to outsiders.” Han Li spoke calmly.
When the three Long family ancestors heard this, their complexions became gloomy. It seemed that they all felt that it was indeed tricky as well.
After a long time, the feather-clothed maiden, however, softly rushed Han Li and asked again:
”What sort of thing did Brother Han help the White Family with that he would gift two Demon Lizard’s in one breath!”
”Nothing, it’s just that I was invited by the White Family to solve a magical beast in the desert. But such things must coincide just right, I’m afraid it can’t be replicated.” Han Li returned with a slight smile.
”It seems that you, Taoist friend, are really lucky!” The feather-clothed girl said with some envy.
”It was just a fluke.” Han Li smiled dumbly with a glib expression.
”Let’s put it this way. Old me has also majored in demonic kung fu, and if I use it to catalyze the pseudo-demon bead, I think I won’t be afraid of being recognized by anyone in this Illusory Night City, so in a moment, I’ll enter the city together with fellow Daoist Han. For the sake of caution, Xian Di Hui and Fairy Ye should remain outside the city for the time being, find a place to settle down first, and keep in touch with us at all times. While waiting for the others to arrive, Mr. Long and Fellow Daoist Han will see if they can get a few more Demon Lizards. If in the end there is really no other way, said there is no choice but to sneak into one of the family, or rob or steal also want to get out of a few head of magic lizards. However, this method, which is prone to attracting strong enemies, is only the next best thing.” The Long family’s old ancestor said after a slight contemplation, finally coming to a decision.
”Good thing too. Illusory Night City is different from that Blood Crow City, there are quite a lot of Devil Elders in there, in case there is really someone who cultivates a special technique and only has the False Devil Bead to disguise it, my concubine is indeed not quite at ease. My little sister will stay outside with fellow Daoist Hui for the time being. The matter of the Demon Lizard will require Brother Long Han to worry a bit more.” The feather-clothed maiden nodded in approval.
The black-robed man didn’t have any other opinions either and similarly nodded slightly.
In the following time, the Long Family Ancestor and the others began to discuss some specific plans and steps, taking all accidents into account and feeling that there were no more major problems. The four of them eventually left the mountain with their own recluse.
Han Li did not act with the Long Family’s old ancestor, but rather entered the Illusory Night City one after the other.
A little more than half a day later, a middle-aged man in the late Void Refining stage appeared in the Holy Spirit Courtyard in the city.
It was the Long Family’s old ancestor who had suppressed his cultivation.
The Long family’s old ancestor had not only concealed his merging cultivation, but had also rented another pavilion far away from Han Li’s residence.
No one could imagine from this that there could be any relationship between the two of them.
Days just like this day by day, Han Li in addition to the occasional and the Long family old man and other people with the magic weapon to pass some news outside, still in the residence in-depth, the whole day closed to comprehend the magic crystal puppet art.
During this period, the Long family ancestor but also the entire phantom night city touched a thorough, and try to change the identity of the want to use some rare treasures from a few big families in exchange for some eight-legged magic lizard, but no surprise have failed.
But the Long family ancestor is not discouraged, in its view, regardless of the spirit world or the demon world, the world which can not be exchanged for things, just look at the value of things used to exchange is not high enough.
Therefore, he not only did not stop, but also took the opportunity and Zhao family a high-level disciple on the relationship, and in a short period of time on the frequent exchanges.
Han Li through the transmission of information, naturally quite understand all of this, but did not take the initiative to intervene in the meaning, just quietly see Long family ancestor method can be really effective.
But in the result has not yet appeared when, outside the city but first came a cadre of Holy Spirit finally also arrived at the Illusory Night City news.
Hearing this, the Long family’s old ancestor was naturally overjoyed, and once again left the city with Han Li to meet with the Spirit Race at a place outside of the city, and once again met with the Holy Spirit such as the Holy Maiden of the Thousand Autumn Sacred Maiden.
Although a cadre of spirits arrived later than the Long family ancestor and others, but several Holy Spirit is not missing, and are all safe and sound look.
But Han Li in the meeting period, but could not help but look a few more eyes that named “stop the water” of the Holy Spirit a few eyes.
I don’t know whether his illusion, he vaguely feel this pale face of the instrumental spirit of the Holy Spirit, it seems that the body breath than before more chilly a few points, slightly close to some, there are some disturbed feeling.
Han Li divine thought to this person swept a few more, but a contact with the other body immediately mud into the sea like disappeared, and not the slightest effect, which makes its heart is more frowned slightly frowned.
However, in addition, the Long family ancestor and a cadre of spirit tribe negotiation but smooth exception, immediately in addition to Qianqiu Virgin and the old Confucian called “hidden form” also disguise cultivation of mixing into the city, the other spirit tribe and the feathered girl and so on gathered together, still remain outside the city to wait for the news.
And there are two helpers of the Long family ancestor, continue to carry out their own plans, and finally the target firmly locked Zhao family, while continuing to little by little increase in the exchange price, while beginning to use various methods to detect the Zhao family to raise the location of the magic lizards, and the Zhao family residence some of the situation of the ban.
Obviously the Long family’s old ancestor and the others, were making preparations for the eventuality that the exchange would not work out and they would take a forceful move.
