Chapter 508: Planning
When these two spoke here, they stopped talking with somber faces and accelerated the speed of their weapons, speeding straight down the mountain.
Han Li didn’t follow the duo, in that case, it was too much of a trail. But he will a trace of divine sense secretly wrapped in that skinny man, and then the expression of coldness to see off the two fly out a distance, before not panicked to show the figure, far away from the follow.
This two people’s speed compared to Han Li, is really slow enough, enough to fly more than an hour later, only flew to the fourth floor of the holy mountain, side by side into a common extreme mansion garden.
A moment later, Han Li’s figure appeared above the courtyard.
The environment here appeared to be quite secluded, and in addition to several courtyards of the same style from afar in the vicinity, there was also a small piece of turquoise bamboo forest, which was quite elegant.
Han Li looked at this courtyard, his eyes flashed with a ray of light. This mansion does not look inconspicuous, but outside the yard also arranged a small “flowing water array” array, although against the intruder really want to break in will not have any effect, but can still play a trace of early warning.
However, this array not to mention against Han Li, is to come to a slightly understand some knowledge of the array of ordinary Jiedan cultivators, do not play the slightest role. Han Li is completely confident that he can easily sneak in without disturbing the inside prohibitions, and that’s exactly what Han Li did.
He pinched a hair decision with both hands, and after a blur of his figure, he suddenly disappeared suddenly in a blaze of green light. Soon after, Han Li, who was hiding his form, noiselessly appeared within the compound. At this moment, he had collected and injected the flow of mana throughout his body, not to mention Foundation Stage cultivators, or JieDan Stage Immortal Cultivators who wanted to discover Han Li, it was almost impossible.
This is also the reason why Han Li is careful, fearing that there really is a JieDan stage cultivator here, otherwise, using ordinary concealment techniques, it would be completely possible.
Han Li stood motionless in the middle of the courtyard, but his divine sense slowly spread out with him at the center, covering the entire courtyard within it. A strange color then flashed across his face as he turned his face to stare at a chamber on the left side of the ground.
He clearly sensed that all the other rooms were empty, but only this modest room had seven cultivators staying in it at the same time.
The thin man and the black-faced middle-aged man were also among them. There were two women among the seven, one was quite attractive and the other was an ordinary looking young woman. However, among these people, the one with the highest cultivation level was a brocade-clothed man with glittering eyes and a hawkish nose.
Aside from that uncomfortable looking nose, this person’s appearance was considered to have decent features and a good meter. He had a cultivation level of about the late Foundation Establishment stage, and had already entered the False Dan realm, completely ready to start preparing for Dan condensation.
The rest of the people were mostly at the middle to early stage of Foundation Establishment.
This was normal, wanting to go to the Outer Astral Sea, this kind of cultivation level was the bare minimum.
However, I don’t know what issue these people had just discussed. Everyone looks gloomy and silent, the entire compartment is silent, there is no one to speak.
Han Li was not in a hurry, so he quietly stood in place and waited. He believed that the conversation behind these people would definitely provide him with some useful information before he could decide on his next step.
Sure enough, after a tea’s worth of work, the middle-aged woman spoke up with some indifference, ”Brother Yi, just now, Daoyou Huang has already brought word back. The other party actually wants 5,000 spirit stones a person before they are willing to let me wait until the outer star sea. In the end, we are the completion of the Star Palace’s mission to pass away openly and honestly, or really private delivery of spirit stones, secretly teleported over, brother Yi is to take an idea ah. After all, when the great war comes together, at that time is when people want to let us go, I’m afraid it will be too late.” The woman’s voice had a somewhat annoyed look.
”Mrs. Liu, listening to your tone, you seem to be very willing to shell out this amount of spirit stones. However, have you ever thought that you, Daoist friend, who are rich may not care about this amount, but my couple just can’t take out these spirit stones even if we pour out everything we have, could it be that you are planning to go over there alone?” A white-faced cultivator sitting next to the young woman, his face sank and his tone was somewhat unkind.
When the middle-aged woman heard this, her face revealed a look of displeasure, and she similarly cross-examined with dissatisfaction, “When did I ever say that I wanted to go over there alone, wasn’t I just asking Brother Yi? Fellow Daoist Yi has rich experience and is the one with the highest cultivation among us, I think it will be able to give us a good analysis of the pros and cons of such.”
”Alright, there’s no need for the two fellow Daoists to say anything. Fellow Daoist Liu won’t teleport away alone, the Outer Star Sea isn’t something that a Foundation Stage cultivator can just wander into alone. Only those of us who act together can survive well there. If we’re lucky, we can slaughter some spirit beasts and refine some spirit pills to improve our cultivation. That’s why the Outer Star Sea must be visited. However, we don’t have to go to complete any quests or kill any cultivators of the same rank to go. In a big battle, even JieDan stage cultivators can’t guarantee their own lives, not to mention us low level cultivators. Not to mention that I’m also a little worried that the higher-ups of the Star Palace will go back on their word when the time comes.” The brocade-clothed man finally spoke coldly.
”It can’t be! The Star Palace doesn’t seem to have done anything to renege on its words before. Fellow Daoist Yi, aren’t you worrying too much.” The one who spoke was a stout looking youth who gave off a very old-fashioned feeling despite his young age.
”Although it’s unlikely, it’s not a certainty that it won’t happen. This isn’t a period where the Star Palace is dominant, if the Star Palace feels that this battle is dangerous, they will naturally do anything, and there’s no fuss about going back on their word. These big powers, humph!” The brocade-clothed big man’s face twitched and he hummed disdainfully, as if he knew these forces very well.
Hearing this, the room was quiet again, and everyone fell into deep thought.
”So the most appropriate thing to do, I think it’s better to spend some spirit stones to save our lives. If we really get involved in a great battle, it’s quite possible that we’ll just all be exterminated. And even if someone is lucky enough to survive, when we get to the Outer Star Sea, we will not be able to talk about self-preservation, and we will be equally dead.” The big man slowly spoke again.
”But so many spirit stones ……”
”Life is not, but also want what spirit stone? Besides, if we slaughter a few high-grade demonic beasts in the Outer Star Sea, it will be enough to make up for our losses. The most important thing today is to teleport there first.” The black-faced middle-aged man was about to say something with a look of heartache, but was interrupted by the brocade-clothed big man with a chilly expression.
The black-faced cultivator seemed to be very afraid of the big man’s appearance, and after being rebuked by the other party in such a manner, he actually shut up after muttering a few sentences.
”As for the lack of spirit stones from other Daoists, just count how many you can come up with. Let’s see if the other party can be a little more accommodating with these numbers. If that’s not possible, those of us who are still rich in spirit stones can temporarily borrow some first, and then return it with interest after teleporting to the outer star sea.”
The brocade-clothed big man seemed to really not have an ordinary high prestige among these people, and with a few simple words, he made a decision alone.
After the other six looked at each other, although not everyone was convinced, they all reluctantly accepted.
Seeing this expression on everyone’s faces, the old man revealed a look of satisfaction, then turned his face to the thin man and said morosely, “Fellow Daoist Zhang, I’ll have to trouble you to make another trip tomorrow. See if you can lower the amount of spirit stones a bit. If it doesn’t work, just agree to the other party’s conditions. But we must leave the day after tomorrow, we must not delay another day. Be sure to leave before the start of the great battle.”
The skinny man promised in a row. Below that, the people in the room began to talk about some specific details again.
Han Li, who was standing outside the house, listened to all of this from start to finish. The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but reveal a mysterious smile, and after a flash of green light, the person suddenly disappeared without a trace from the courtyard.
On the second day, when that skinny man once again from this mansion set off toward that starry sky hall, and did not know that behind the high altitude more than a person out.
Han Li followed him expressionlessly to the vicinity of the Starry Sky Hall once again, witnessing him carefully sneak in through the hall’s side door.
Han Li rubbed his nose and calmly waited coldly outside the hall.
After a full half hour’s time, the skinny man sneaked out from inside again, with a hint of excitement hidden on his face. Then, Han Li once again trailed him back to the mansion.
However, a scene that caused Han Li to raise both eyebrows occurred.
The thin man in the mansion before entering, the face of the excitement of the color quickly fade away, look around and even changed face like a face into a sad face, before knocking on the door to enter the courtyard.
Han Li saw this situation, frowned, revealing a thoughtful look.
”Inside this matter is it …… possible that he hand rested up his chin’s fell into a deep thought.
