Chapter 526 – Questioning
Upon hearing Han Li’s words, the hatchet-faced old man and the other three couldn’t help but look at each other with stunned faces. What was the purpose of this Insect Demon’s question? Could it be that he still had to tease them before exterminating them?
”If you want to take our lives, just go ahead and do it, why say such words?” The fierce-faced man crossed his heart and simply said fiercely without any regard for anything.
”This is strange. Could it be that there is something wrong with the question I just asked?” Han Li’s face sank and steeply chilled.
”My brothers and I really didn’t know that seniors were here to hunt and kill demonic beasts, otherwise, we would never have dared to have disturbed the Insect Demon seniors. The next few people just unintentionally intruded here, and in no way have any malicious intent, so I hope that senior will be merciful.” Cultivator Min, however, seemed to see some kind of chance of survival in Han Li’s actions, and after his face returned a hint of blood color, he begged bitterly.
”Insect Devil! You guys are talking about me?” Han Li frowned slightly as a hint of doubt flashed across his face.
”Your Excellency is not Senior Bug Demon?” The originally appointed turtledove-faced old man couldn’t help but mutter a dumbfounded look at his words, a look of astonishment appearing on his face.
”It seems that the three Fellow Daoists seem to have misunderstood something.” Han Li let out a light laugh, and after hesitating for a moment, he still tilted his hand, and three green-colored spells shot onto the neck collars on the three people’s necks. At once, the three-colored neck rings collapsed in a low chirping sound, and turned back into countless beetles, which flew back to the Spirit Beast Pouch at Han Li’s waist in a flurry.
Seeing this scene, the three turtledove-faced old men who had escaped death were both shocked and delighted. Although their hearts were still extremely doubtful, they now mostly believed that they might have misidentified someone. Otherwise, with the reputation of that Bug Devil, how could he not be making these false pretenses. However, after seeing Han Li’s amazing methods. They were still respectful, not daring to make the slightest move.
”Heh! It seems that we have truly misunderstood you. With that Insect Demon’s temperament, it would never let us off the hook as easily as you, Dao Friend. I don’t know what your name is?” The hatchet-faced old man squeezed out a smile on his face and hurriedly asked with a smile. He understood in his heart that even if the one in front of him wasn’t the Bug Demon, his methods weren’t any worse than the real one, and it was as easy as taking their lives, so he naturally didn’t dare to be any slower.
Han Li heard this, a slight smile, a mouth was about to say something, but lightly “eek” looked into the air.
”The three of you still have any companions, right? They seem to have arrived.” Han Li looked into the sky and said slowly.
The hatchet-faced old man was stunned, but then raised his head to look in the same direction as if he remembered something, but the place in front of his eyes was empty, and there were no silhouettes, so he couldn’t help but reveal a hint of confusion again.
”I and other brothers indeed also brought some disciples sons and nephews, counting they should also arrive!” Heart some half believe half doubt, turtledove face old man still honestly back to say. But just as he finished saying this, a small string of light points appeared in the sky, it was the backward group of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
They than the old man hatchet face three people, the speed is really slow not a little bit half a point, so far only just unloaded equipment to fly to here.
Hatchet-faced old man saw this scene, his complexion changed slightly. This showed that the other party’s divine sense was far above his, and the fear of Han Li was unconsciously added three more points to his heart.
”Mister Han is not fond of bustling by nature, three fellow Daoists will arrange for these disciples, and I’ll wait for all of you at the other end of this island. Mister Han still has some questions he would like to ask the three of you, so I hope a few of you won’t leave without saying goodbye.” Han Li narrowed his eyes and glanced at the three of them, suddenly saying with great meaning. Only then did he smile faintly and transform into a green rainbow that flew to the other side of the island.
It was only then that the turtledove-faced old man and the three of them breathed a huge sigh of relief. Today, although I do not know whether the youth is really a bug devil, but now seems to look like, the three of them did not show any killing intent, life is temporarily saved.
So in the turtledove face old man solemn color a few whispered, Min surname cultivator slightly nodded, immediately flew to the sky, to meet the group of foundation stage cultivators. A flying to the group of disciples in front of the door, he coldly said something. These cultivators immediately followed him and slowly landed on the edge of the island, and did not meet up with the hatchet-faced old man.
Only then did cultivator Min fly back to the old man’s side with a heavy heart.
”Brother Qiu, do you really want to go over there?” As soon as the vicious big man waited for cultivator Min to come over, he immediately asked hesitantly in a quiet voice.
”Fellow Daoist Xuan, don’t think any nonsense thoughts, it’s not like you haven’t seen the other party’s methods just now. Do you really think that we can still escape now? When the other party asks something, just answer honestly, don’t offend the other party. Just treat the other party as a YuanYing stage old monster. With this person’s divine ability, he should not care to kill us.” The turtledove-faced old man’s complexion changed as he warned cautiously.
”Brother Qiu has a point, I don’t see this person as a vicious person either. It’s better not to act rashly!” Cultivator Min similarly nodded his head in agreement.
Although the vicious man didn’t quite agree in his heart, but seeing that the two of them had said so, he could only put that little thought away.
Subsequently, the three of them obediently flew toward the other end of the coral island.
Han Li was sitting cross-legged on a flat coral reef, leisurely waiting for the three.
”Several fellow Daoists, let’s sit cross-legged and talk! Explain to me what exactly happened in the Sea City of Qi Yuan Island recently. On my way back from the deep sea, Mister Han ran into several waves of cultivators one after another. I can remember, in the past, there were few cultivators in this area, not all in the sea abyss to hunt and kill demonic beasts? Of course, the matter of that Insect Demon, I would also like to learn about it in detail.” Han Li said with a casual wave of his hand at the three, his expression as normal.
In the face of Han Li’s unmoving expression, the turtledove-faced old man and the trio grew more and more speculative and uneasy, respectfully responding before carefully sitting nearby.
”It’s been two or three years since you’ve been to Qi Yuan Island. The Abyssal Sea has long been a forbidden area for our cultivators. Nowadays, not to mention going there to hunt demonic beasts, even if someone talks about the Abyss, almost everyone turns pale.” The hatchet-faced old man let out a bitter smile and slowly said.
”Oh? Fellow Daoist speak in detail!” Han Li didn’t reveal any abnormalities on his face and said softly.
”This matter, it’s a long story, things still have to start from that demonic beast madness two years ago ……” Hatchet-faced old man saw Han Li attentively listening to the appearance of the heart a little safe, after a little thought, on the truthful recounting of the year’s abyssal mutation as well as the later YuanYing stage cultivators are no The matter of the YuanYing stage cultivators all returned without a trace.
Han Li sat there quietly listening, waiting to hear it all finished the story, before his brows inadvertently wrinkled, leisurely muttered to himself: “According to this, the year’s Abyssal Sea Demon Beast Rampage, the deaths and injuries of a lot of high-ranking cultivators. Even YuanYing stage cultivators were unable to gain a foothold. No wonder there were more cultivators in the other seas, all of a sudden!”
On the surface, it appeared that Han Li was not at all moved by the turtledove-faced old man’s narration, but in his heart, he was actually shocked. The demonic beasts of the abyss had gone berserk! Even several YuanYing stage cultivators had broken into it and fled. How he heard it, he felt a bad sign from it! Could it be that the Outer Astral Sea was going to be in great chaos as well?
”Next, tell us about that Bug Demon. At first sight, the three of you thought that I was some kind of bug devil, could it be that Mister Han really resembles the other party?” Han Li paused briefly and asked again with considerable interest.
These words, however, caused the three people on the opposite side to glance at each other and couldn’t help but exchange glances.
”How can I put it! At first glance, fellow Daoist does indeed resemble that rumored Insect Demon. The same use of multiple green flying swords, a young appearance, looks to only have a JieDan stage cultivation, and will drive thousands of flying insects …… ” Still, the Hatchet surname cultivator coughed dryly and interjected.
But every time he said a sentence, his voice unconsciously lowered a point. Because no matter how you look at it, the youth in front of you still matches very well with the rumored Insect Demon. The Min Surname cultivator couldn’t help but feel weak!
”Huh! It sounds like it’s really talking about me… Fellow Daoist, let’s go into a little more detail! What exactly has that Bug Demon done, it seems like it’s not a small reputation.” A trace of color flashed across Han Li’s face as he asked very calmly.
”There are many things related to the Bug Devil. But the most famous one is the matter of the Bug Devil driving a swarm of insects to exterminate seven or eight JieDan Stage cultivators with the power of one person four years ago. This was also the battle that made this person famous.” Cultivator Min spoke carefully.
When Han Li heard this, he didn’t show the slightest difference on his face, but his heart thumped.
”Originally, after this battle, this Bug Demon disappeared into obscurity. But I didn’t expect that after more than a year, in the sea near Qi Yuan Island, but frequent occurrence of cultivators were destroyed to seize the treasure thing. According to the testimonies of those who survived, it was that very same Bug Devil who also drove the flying insects in the sky, devouring his opponents cleanly and easily. And such things happened almost every one or two months. According to rumors, the number of cultivators who had died at the hands of this Bug Devil had reached as many as a hundred. The reputation of the Bug Devil can be considered fierce.” After finishing these words in one breath, cultivator Min’s face took on a hint of nervousness, revealing a bit of uneasiness.
