Chapter 975
Following the new arrival, the three cultivators each tended to their own matters, not bothering to strike up any conversation .
It wasn’t until half a month later when the miasma had mostly retreated that two more striking lights flew towards the mountain with practiced coordination .
The two streaks circled above and dropped down in the middle of the three to reveal the Nine Serenities Sect Elder Wei and a beautiful black-clothed woman with thick eyebrows and a solemn face .
While she remained silent and emotionless, Elder Wei looked at the three with a happy bearing and said, “You three have honored me with your timely arrival . I was originally making preparations in case any of you were missing, but it seems it wasn’t necessary . ”
The large man coldly smiled and bluntly said, “Although I have come, I am currently in a crucial point in overcoming my bottleneck . If Brother Fu’s affairs disinterest me, I will immediately leave . ”
“Don’t worry, Brother Yuan! You should know that I speak truly since I've requested Fellow Daoists Han and Bai to come as well . Ah, but before that, an introduction is due . This is my Junior Martial Sister Chang Zhifang, the Nine Serenities Sect’s internal affairs elder . Since you’ve stemmed from the Nanjiang’s Sacred Poison Sect, we’ll especially need the assistance of a native like yourself, Brother Yuan . As for Fellow Daoist Han, he possesses astonishing abilities and is a vagrant cultivator from overseas . Fellow Daoist Bai is . . . ” Old Man Fu then proceeded to give a quick introduction of one another .
When the others heard Old Man Fu mention that Han Li possessed astonishing abilities, Cultivator Yuan and Bai Yaoyi both looked at him with a trace of surprise .
Han Li frowned when he heard this and said, “Fellow Daoist Fu is overpraising me . My cultivation is rather average . Where have you heard of my said ‘astonishing’ abilities?”
With a deep tone, Old Man Fu deeply said, “There is no need to hide it . Not only have you killed the Old Man Xiao in the Jin Capital, but after the trade meet, did you not also kill the illustrious Monk Wickedfire? Given your vast cultivation, what is there to say?”
“Monk Wickedfire was killed by Fellow Daoist Han?” Cultivator Yuan suddenly looked at Han Li with a vastly changed expression . Bai Yaoyi also revealed shock . Only the black-clothed woman appeared indifferent as if she already knew beforehand .
Han Li bitterly chuckled and said with a helpless tone, “Brother Fu must be mistaken . While I did kill an unknown early-Nascent Soul cultivator in the Jin Capital, the one who killed this Monk Wickedfire was another cultivator . Do you believe that a vagrant like myself could possess such heaven-defying abilities?”
“Another cultivator? I heard that there were two similar faced cultivators that fought against Monk Wickedfire . Could it be that it truly wasn’t you?” Old Man Fu’s expression relaxed but he spoke with a tone of doubt .
Han Li rubbed his chin and said, “Brother Fu truly overestimates me . If I have the power to kill a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator in an instant, why would I need to avoid the Yin Sifting Sect? I could boldly leave and none would dare to block me . ”
“Regardless, that Old Man Xiao was exceptionally cunning and was skilled in several evasion techniques . Being able to kill him already displays exceptional abilities . In any case, do you recognize the cultivator that killed Monk Wickedfire? Tch tch, the sudden appearance of a late-Nascent Soul cultivator can surely only mean that they come from overseas . ” Old Man Fu asked with a greatly interested tone .
Han Li shook his head and calmly said, “The cultivator who killed Monk Wickedfire only had the same face as me . We don’t have the slightest relationship . "
“What a pity . If we were able to find him, our odds of success would be even greater . ” With that said, Old Man Fu dryly laughed and dropped the topic .
Cultivator Yuan then asked, “I also heard that a two-headed and four-armed devil appeared near the underground trade meet on the last day . It devoured several early-Nascent Soul cultivators . Was it not for the great cultivator overseeing the trade meeting, the entire group would’ve been eliminated . Does Brother Han know of this matter?”
Han Li answered, "I don't, I was already far away when it happened . "
Cultivator Yuan wore a doubtful expression when he heard this .
At that moment, Bai Yaoyi asked, “Fellow Daoist Fu, how about you tell us about this appointment? I wouldn’t have come to such a faraway place if it weren’t for that small favor I owed you . ”
“Of course . However, since this matter is of great importance, it’d be best that we take necessary precautions . ” Then, Old Man Fu flicked his fingers all around him and released a dozen streaks of green fire .
