Chapter 677 – Seeing the Child Again

　　”Is this Tepid Sky City?” Han Li said in a low voice as he stood on a hillside and looked at the huge city wall several miles away.

　　”How’s that? Has Senior Brother Han never seen a stone city as large as this before? This is the Nine Kingdoms Alliance’s successive expansions several times before it got this size, and although it doesn’t dare to say that it’s the number one city in the South of Heaven, it can definitely be ranked among the top five. And the entire city was built with boulders, definitely this is the only one.” Lu Luo stood next to Han Li and said with the same sentiment.

　　Han Li faintly smiled when he heard this. When it came to giant cities, there was no city in Tiannan that compared to the Heavenly Star City in the Chaotic Star Sea. That is truly a giant-like existence. The Tepid Sky in front of him, although it was also a giant city of more than a hundred miles, it was nothing compared to Heavenly Star City.

　　Although Han Li did not think, but on the other side of the Mu Pei Ling who was next to him was astonished, the stone city in front of him, obviously shocked this woman not small.

　　”However, having to come here on foot as soon as we entered the vicinity of Tepid Sky City is still a bit depressing!” Lu Luo shook her head and said with some dissatisfaction again.

　　Han Li pursed his lips before replying, “The Nine Kingdoms Alliance can’t do anything about it, otherwise with so many high-ranking cultivators arriving here, and with everyone walking from the sky and coming from the heavens, they wouldn’t be able to manage this city at all. It’s a good thing that this prohibition is just a facade for YuanYing cultivators like us, if we really want to take to the air and walk away, can this kind of prohibition still trap us?”

　　”I didn’t expect Senior Brother to be so open-minded. Alright, let’s go, maybe if we enter the city earlier, we can gain something!” Ever since that battle of divine sense with Marquis Nanlong not too long ago, this Senior Brother Lu had become much more warm and cordial towards Han Li than before.

　　So with Han Li smiling and nodding his head in agreement, the three of them descended from the hillside and swaggered towards the city gates in the distance.

　　Because of the Tepidian City neighborhood, there were cultivators walking towards the city from all directions, which made it seem popular.

　　Han Li and Lu Luo did not want to cause any commotion, so the two had already disguised their cultivation, looking like a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator almost as good as Mu Pei Ling, so the three of them easily blended in with the other cultivators, and walked in through the city gates, which were about ten feet high.

　　At the city gates, although there were some Nine Kingdoms Alliance law enforcement cultivators guarding the gates, they did not notice anything strange about Han Li and the others.

　　Upon entering Tepid Sky City, one’s eyes were greeted by rows and rows of stone houses, neatly arranged. Between these stone houses, there were long greenstone streets of varying widths interspersed with them, as dense as a spider’s web, with many people coming and going.

　　”Let’s settle on a place to live first. However, there’s no need to squeeze into some inn with the others, there’s a VIP building here that specializes in entertaining YuanYing cultivators for free, so just go there directly.” Lu Luo had been to Tepid Sky City once before, and said with quite some old horse sense.

　　Han Li naturally wouldn’t have any different opinions, bringing Mu Pei Ling to directly follow the middle-aged man surnamed Lu.

　　As a result, Lu Luo led the two of them directly towards a corner of the giant city. A while later, the three of them passed through many streets and finally arrived in front of a white light curtain. Behind the light curtain, there were many quiet and elegant pavilions of various styles, which were exquisite.

　　The other cultivators passing by outside the light screen, when they looked at these pavilions inside the light screen, all of them looked in awe and envy, but they didn’t dare to stay longer, and left the place with quick steps.

　　”This is it, only YuanYing or above cultivators have the ability to open this layer of restriction.” Lu Luo said with a point of his finger, and then one hand was pointed towards the light screen, while a blue aura flashed on his palm.

　　With a “Zira” sound, the white light curtain was separated by Lu Luo’s palm which was covered with spiritual energy, and with a flash of a silhouette, he unceremoniously drilled into it. The light curtain instantly closed up, incredibly fast.

　　After Han Li was stunned, he didn’t say anything more, and with a single mouth, a ball of green light shot out of his mouth, and after the green aura flashed on the white light curtain, a ten feet large mouth immediately shattered open. Han Li one-handedly wrapped Mu Pei Ling’s waist, in full fragrance, with this woman into the light screen.

　　Mu Pei Ling half rely on Han Li’s arms, face slightly blushing, heart a moment some strange feeling.

　　Seeing Han Li break the ban with a heavy hand and enter, a hint of surprise flashed across Lu Luo’s eyes, but then he regained his normal color.

　　”All of these attics, YuanYing stage cultivators can bring their disciples to pick one at will. However, the ones that have a forbidden system lit up outside the attic means that it’s already occupied, so they have to pick another one. But not all YuanYing cultivators are willing to come here, there are some old monsters that would rather live outside the city or in an inn.” Lu Luo said while pointing at those attics with a smile.

　　Sure enough a small portion of those attics already had the appearance of forbidden light flickering.

　　”Senior brother! Let’s pick these two neighboring attics, so we can take care of each other if something happens.” Lu Luo pointed at the two attics that were fifty to sixty feet away and said with a suggestion.

　　”As senior brother suggests.” Han Li slightly surveyed the area and returned indifferently.

　　When Lu Luo wanted to say something else, another nearby attic that was covered in white and yellow light, the restriction suddenly opened, and a short figure came out from inside. And as soon as that person’s gaze swept Han Li and the others, he immediately said in surprise, “Huh, isn’t this Brother Lu? I didn’t expect that fellow Daoist also came so early!”

　　Han Li sniffed and hurriedly took a closer look over.

　　This person was white and tender, looking like a jade child, and was actually the Fire Dragon Child that had been seen at that Three Sects Holy Land. Now that he had finished saying this, his black and white eyes darted around and his gaze directly landed on Han Li and Mu Pei Ling, his small face showing a few shocks.

　　With this Fire Dragon Child’s superb memory, having only met Han Li and the two of them more than twenty years ago, he naturally recognized Han Li as one of the disciples from the last Sword Trial Assembly at a glance. However, now that Han Li was only using ordinary techniques to conceal his cultivation, he naturally couldn’t hide it from him at the same level, and after a shock in his heart, he then revealed a look of enlightenment.

　　”Hehe! So it’s Fellow Daoist Blue. We came which is considered early ah, this time it is the Taoist friend who arrived first. By the way, this is our Fallen Cloud Sect’s newest addition, Elder Han. Elder Brother Han, I’m sure you’ve seen him once before, Brother Lan, so there’s no need for me to introduce him!” Lu Luo was first stunned, then said with a smile on his face, as if he was on good terms with the other party.

　　”So Fellow Daoist Han is really the newest Elder of your Sect, Mister Lan really looked away that day.” The fire dragon boy heard Lu Luo say so, replaced with a bitter smile color said, seems to have no intention to seriously recognize to pursue the matter of that day.

　　”Mister Han just heard about the great name of the Spirit Eye Sacred Tree for a long time, that’s why he entered the holy land to take a look at it, I hope that Fellow Daoist Lan will never blame him.” Although the other party had said so, Han Li smiled and explained slightly.

　　”Now that Fellow Daoist is already an elder of the Falling Cloud Sect, there is naturally no need to mention this matter again. However, it’s a coincidence that you two Fellow Daoists have come, I happen to have made an appointment with a few familiar fellow Daoists to go to the Crystal Dragon Pavilion to conduct a small exchange session, so why don’t you two Fellow Daoists go over there together and take a look, and you might be able to find something suitable.” The Fire Dragon Child also seemed to be a straightforward nature, and immediately waved his hand in invitation.

　　”There’s an exchange meeting so soon. Tsk, it’s really about time for my senior brother and sister to come. Senior Brother Han, there aren’t many exchange sessions organized between YuanYing cultivators like this, so be sure to go, otherwise, you might just miss out on something good.” Lu Luo was overjoyed at his words and immediately turned his face to Han Li and said solemnly.

　　”Everything will be according to what Senior Brother Lan says!” Han Li’s expression remained unchanged, and after a smile, he said calmly.

　　Thus below, Han Li and his duo first set up a prohibition outside the attic, then along with the Fire Dragon Child, they once again exited the White Curtain.

　　Han Li instructed a few words, but left Mu Pei Ling inside the pavilion for the time being.

　　”The Crystal Dragon Pavilion was opened by a close friend of Lan’s in the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, and this close friend of mine has a wide range of friendships, regardless of whether it’s the righteous or the devils or us, there are people who are acquainted with them, and that’s why it was possible for him to form this exchange meeting. However, in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, all those who go in should put on masks to hide their original true colors.”

　　In a clear childish voice, the Fire Dragon Child said the things about the exchange meeting one by one.

　　While Lu Luo listened to it, his heart stirred and he said with a bit of surprise, “Could Brother Lan be talking about the Heavenly Crystal Realist, it seems like only this old man has such a condition. However, I remember that the Heavenly Crystal Realist doesn’t like to dabble in these things, so how could he take the initiative to organize an exchange meeting this time?”

　　”Hehehe, I didn’t think that fellow Daoist Lu would also know the reputation of old friend Tian Jing. It’s not bad that although this old friend of mine doesn’t like trouble, he seems to be in dire need of several rare things this time around but hasn’t been able to find any, so I guess it’s for this reason that he took the initiative to hold an exchange meeting.” The Fire Dragon Child said with a smile.

　　”Oh, if that’s the case, this old man is a possibility.” Lu Luo nodded with a bit of understanding.

　　Han Li listened quietly to the duo’s conversation from the side, his expression remaining calm.

　　Right in the middle of the conversation, the three arrived in front of an attic that was as white as jade. This attic had three floors, ranging in size from large to small, and on the door of the attic, there was also a silver-edged, ancient plaque hanging.

　　”Crystal Dragon Pavilion” was written in three large golden characters.
