Chapter 892: 892
t
From the old man's strange discovery, there were only two conclusions: either his spiritual sense was mistaken, or there was a cultivator with a spiritual sense far superior to his own — most likely being the foreign cultivator . Regardless of the outcome, neither of them would be good .
For the first possibility, it would cause a loss of face in front of his two juniors and a loss of reputation as well, but the second possibility could lead to disaster .
While he made it appear that capturing the injured foreign cultivator would be an easy task, he was among the cultivators that had participated in the battle to stop Han Li and held his grand abilities in terror .
The Nascent Soul cultivators who fell in the battle against Han Li had their bodies had turned to purple ice and their Nascent Souls were subsequently frozen over — a scene that remained fresh in the old man’s mind . Even if the foreign cultivator was injured, he reckoned that the foreign cultivator could easily bring him down in mutual destruction .
Since there were no other Nascent Soul cultivators nearby and there was a vague possibility of death, he didn’t have to mind to confirm whether or not the danger was true . In any case, the Grand Immortals and the Saintess will personally deal with this person after the Day of Spirit Release .
With his heart filled with dread, the bald old man sighed and decided against catching up with the caravan . If he were two hundred years younger, he might’ve taken the risk . But now that he was nearing the end of his lifespan, he treasured what time he had left .
The bald old man stared at the caravan as it made its way into the distance as he motionlessly stood in place . As for the pair standing behind him, they both glanced at each other with a bewildered expression, but neither of them were brave enough to ask about it .
. . .
When the caravan arrived ten kilometers away, Han Li felt a wave of relief . The master of the spiritual sense that had observed them back at the encampment hadn’t followed them .
Although Han Li had quickly responded to the spiritual sense search, he was unaccustomed to his drop in cultivation and withdrew his spiritual sense a bit late . He wasn't sure if he had truly concealed himself . And given how indiscernible the spiritual sense was, it was clear that the owner cultivated a secret technique .
His heart relaxed a bit for the time being and he continued to conceal his aura, not daring to be careless .
After travelling for over half a day, Han Li felt a wave of relief and began to slowly release his spiritual sense, covering a perimeter of over ten kilometers . Sensing that nothing was out of the ordinary, Han Li summoned the purple-robed old man’s storage pouch with a flip of his hand and poured out its contents in a flash of white light .
Han Li swept his gaze past the pile of items and took a small bottle into his hand . He opened it and took a whiff before shaking his head and setting it aside . Then he took another bottle and did the same as if trying to find something .
Eventually, Han Li opened the lid of an unremarkable green bottle . Before he even recognized what it was, a thread of purple mist drifted out . Han Li’s expression grew sullen and he opened his mouth, spitting out a ball of azure light . The thread of purple Qi wrapped around it and soon, the azure light darkened .
Han Li’s expression changed . Before the azure light became completely corrupted, Han Li forcefully blew on the light and pushed it into the bottle before quickly sealing it .
He then let out a sigh of relief . His actions hadn’t been in vain . He had acquired the remaining agony poison, a rather significant gain . The Ten Absolute Poisons were rarely ever encountered . The Kong Clan must’ve been an exceptional power to be able to possess something as rare as this .
He carefully put away the bottle in his storage pouch and then released a thread of spiritual sense out of impulse, peeking into one of the Red Wolf Tribe’s carriages .
Feng Yue was currently holding a fist-sized pearl with both his hands and meditating with his eyes shut . Black Qi was flowing in from his eyes to the pearl in his hands, causing the pearl to shine with black light . There was a pile of medicine bottles stacked in front of him, but most of them were opened and there were even a few loose pills were scattered to the side .
Han Li shook his head at the sight and withdrew his spiritual sense .
Although this pearl appeared to be some sort of exceptional treasure capable of absorbing poisonous Qi, it had already reached its limit . The absorbed poisonous Qi would soon be replaced by the Agony Poison deep within his body and his efforts would be in vain . It was simply a delusion to believe that he'd be able to rid himself of the poison in a mere ten days .
With this thought, Han Li closed his eyes and sank into meditation .
. . .
Eight days later, the road had been peaceful apart from two low-grade Ironhoof Beasts . They encountered the caravan in a moment of carelessness, much to the joy of the cultivators cultivators, but Feng Yue, Han Li, and one other cultivator hadn’t participated in the hunt .
The cultivator that hadn’t taken action had aroused Han Li’s interest and when Han Li examined him with his spiritual sense, he found that the youth was simply a diligent Foundation Establishment cultivator that was immersed in cultivation .
Han Li quickly lost interest in him after examining him a few more times . As for Feng Yue, he had failed in his many attempts to rid himself of the poison and had grown frantic, despair occasionally appearing on his face . His black hair had gradually turned white as well .
This came as no surprise . He was the sole descendant of the Feng Clan and was completely helpless as the death of his bloodline approached . What he suffered was far beyond what an ordinary person could bear . Now, there were only three days left before he ran out of time .
Anyways, Han Li had finished comprehending the incantation Monarch Soul Divergence had given him two days prior . He had gained much peace of mind as he no longer had any fear of being surrounded by Nascent Soul cultivators .
