Chapter 293 – Infiltration
Han Li was familiar with the look of infatuation that this little girl revealed on her way out. He thought that when he first saw Li Huayuan drive that giant auger for the first time, he revealed the same kind of envious look.
When Han Li thought of this, he felt that this pretty little girl was quite interesting.
Then after a slight smile, his person silently disappeared from the tree, and when he reappeared, he was already within the high walls of the royal residence.
At this time, Han Li not only used the “invisibility technique”, a spell that could conceal him from mortals, but also cast the “invisibility technique” at the same time. At the same time, he also performed the “Qi Drawing Decree”, a Qi Convergence Technique that could only be performed by cultivators after Foundation Establishment.
Let him in between the servants and maids of the Wang Fu, as if transparent as quickly flashed, and no one noticed the slightest abnormality.
A few moments later, Han Li sneaked into the back of the royal residence and quietly hid behind a remote corridor pillar, coldly watching everything in the vicinity.
A short while later, when a maid with a few good looks passed nearby, Han Li suddenly flicked his finger, a fist-sized yellow light flew out of his hand, striking the maid’s head, and at once the maid swayed, about to topple over and fall to the ground.
But not waiting for her body really fell to the ground, Han Li has long leapt out and a hand will be lifted up, once again flew back to the corner side of the pillar.
Han Li skillfully the little maid’s limp body correct, just face their own, and then opened his mouth a mouthful of green-colored aura sprayed out, hitting its tightly closed eyes.
At once, the little maid’s eyelids moved a few times, then slowly opened her eyes.
As soon as this little maid woke up slowly, when she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of golden-colored eyes that were staring coldly at her.
She was shocked and wanted to struggle and yell, but the pair of bizarre eyes suddenly shot out yellow and shot straight into her eyes.
Immediately, the little maid only felt the sky spinning, and the entire world seemed to have become a golden color, and then her head tilted, and she lost consciousness.
Han Li looked at the little maid who fainted again, sighed lightly and drew back a hand to lightly wipe the sweat from his face.
Although performing this “God Control Technique” was only a matter of a short moment. But it really consumed his mind and soul, and he felt a bit overwhelmed. No wonder, this spell was listed as one of the top ten ribbed spells in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Although this spell, as long as the spell was successfully cast, could make the subject obedient to the caster for a period of time, as if he were a slave, but it had too many limitations. The number of cultivators who truly practiced this spell was very few!
First of all, this spell can only be cast on mortals, and it has no effect on cultivators. Even if there is a huge difference in cultivation between the two, as long as there is spiritual energy going around in the mind. It would be easy to counteract the mesmerizing effect of this spell.
Secondly, this spell requires that the person practicing it must not only be a post-foundation cultivator, but also have a far superior divine sense, and the vast majority of foundation stage cultivators are not qualified to practice this spell.
With these two restrictions, the number of cultivators who are still interested in practicing this spell is pitifully small.
However, none of this was a problem for Han Li.
Han Li had originally fretted that he had too few Foundation Establishment Stage spells at his disposal. After seeing the recipe that recorded this spell in the Heavenly Knowledge Pavilion that day, he curiously memorized it. As a result, after returning to his cave, he practiced a little. Even the slightest resistance is not water to the drain, which makes Han Li surprised ah!
Now use this spell on this little maid. Sure enough, it was an instant success.
Han Li first discreetly looked around a glance, before stretching out a finger gently shake, suddenly a small group of milky-white light mass surged out of the fingertips, and then to the maid’s eyebrow a little. The mass of light merged into it and disappeared.
The little maid woke up and immediately sat up, her eyes staring blankly at Han Li without saying a word.
”What is your chief steward’s origin, and when did he enter the king’s residence. What places do you usually like to go to, and what people outside of the royal residence do you often come into contact with?” Han Li looked at the little maid as a series of questions exited sharply.
This maid that he had selected to lay his hands on was the one who had been sent out by King Xin to look for the young prince at the beginning of the banquet, so it could be seen that his status amongst the subordinates was not low, so that he could get the news in order to be a bit more certain.
”Which chief steward is the master asking about?” The little maid said without expression.
”Are there many chief stewards in the royal residence?” Han Li was a bit puzzled after being slightly stunned.
”Within the mansion, there’s Chief Manager Wang, who is in charge of everything, Chief Manager Li, who specializes in purchasing, and Chief Manager Zhai, who is in charge of the management of the inner mansion.” The maid continued to say expressionlessly.
”Which chief steward is the one who greeted the guests at the mansion’s gate today?” Han Li asked in a low voice after frowning a bit.
”That’s the most powerful Chief Steward Wang.”
”It’s him I’m asking about!” Han Li asked with some anxiety.
He really didn’t know how long this spell could control the other party’s mind, so naturally, he had to hurry to finish asking about the important matters. Otherwise, waiting for this little maid to wake up would require more effort.
”According to the old people in the house, Chief Wang is a companion scholar who has grown up with the king since childhood, and has been with the king for fifty to sixty years. In addition to the routine once a month to follow the king into the palace, usually will not go out of the royal palace half a step, and will not come into contact with any people outside the royal palace, that is, there is also a group of the king’s best friends only.”
”As for the relationship with the young prince, it’s a bit strange! Listening to the little prince’s former nurse, before the little prince was ten years old, he was very grumpy, and his relationship with Chief Steward Wang was very bad, and there was even a time when he gave Chief Steward Wang an ear scrape in public. But after the age of ten, the whole person suddenly changed his attitude, not only to treat people courteous and polite, to Wang is even more respectful, and even the courtesy of the younger generation. This makes the king feel greatly relieved outside, has always said that there is a god blessing!” The maid said in an extremely bland manner.
When Han Li heard this, his expression didn’t change, but he laughed coldly in his heart.
Although it sounded like there was nothing suspicious about that Chief Wang. But through the young prince’s unusual behavior, Han Li could be certain that there must be some sort of ulterior relationship between these two.
Moreover, a duo that could make even one of his Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators feel greatly in danger was definitely not some ordinary mortals.
As for what mysterious background they had, Han Li did not want to investigate deeply. As long as the other party was not a person of the devil’s path, he cared if the other party was evil or not, and what ulterior motives they had. As long as the other party was not of the Devil’s Way, he didn’t care if the other party was evil or not, or what ulterior motives they had.
And through this interrogation just now, Han Li’s heart was already eight or nine percent certain that the other party and the six sects of the Devil’s Path did not have any connection.
After all, the little prince’s anomaly was not something that happened recently. If the devil’s way people, really in more than ten years ago began to cloth this bureau, Han Li also really speechless.
Thinking of this, Han Li opened his mouth again and commanded, “Where does Immortal Master Wu live? Lead the way for me in front.”
”Yes, master!” The little maid very obediently got up and left, while Han Li continued to conceal his form and secretly followed behind him.
Under the maid’s lead, Han Li passed through seven or eight large courtyards in a row and arrived in front of a quieter courtyard, at which point the maid stopped in her tracks.
”Pa,” “Pa,” Han Li fiercely slapped the maid’s back twice with a palm that glowed with white light, and then with a flash of his body, he hid behind a large tree on one side.
”Huh! Isn’t this the Old Gods’ residence? Why am I here?”
The little maid blinked her eyes twice vigorously and suddenly exclaimed, the blank look in her eyes having all but disappeared.
”What kind of people are making noises outside, didn’t the Poor Taoist instruct that no one should come to disturb the Poor Taoist’s cultivation!” Inside a room within the courtyard, the old Taoist monk’s displeased voice was heard.
When the little maid heard this, she was so scared that her face turned white with a swish, and she didn’t care to think about why she had appeared here, so she panicked and ran away.
”With a creak, the door of the house opened.
The old Taoist with white hair and beard, again with the appearance of an immortal, walked out. But after seeing that there was not a single silhouette in the courtyard outside the house, a puzzled look appeared on his face.
”What’s going on! I clearly heard voices talking and thought that that prince had come to find me again! It caused me to hastily collect my gong methods, but where did the person run off to?”
The old Taoist stood within the courtyard and looked around before returning to the house somewhat resentfully.
However, when he closed the door of the house, and turned his head back towards the house, the whole person suddenly froze!
Only to see that in the house beside the eight immortal table, Han Li was smilingly looking at the old Taoist without saying a word, with a look of great interest in him.
”Who are you?” The old Taoist asked hurriedly as his face changed greatly.
Then with an almost reflexive lift of his hand, a fiery red fireball, surfaced above one hand.
”If I were you, I wouldn’t just strike.” Han Li said with a smile as if he didn’t see the old dao’s fireball, as if there was no hostility at all.
