Chapter 1328
With Han Li's early-stage cultivation and his previous behavior of always showing weakness, for him to suddenly say such words now naturally shocked everyone.
Even the purple-robed tall man, who had been expressionless, looked at Han Li with a trace of surprise.
The slanted-brow man heard this, and a layer of baleful energy flashed across his face and disappeared.
"Good courage! I really haven't met anyone with a lower cultivation base than me who dared to talk to me like this for hundreds of years. Since that's the case, in the spiritual land competition three days later, neither of us needs to hold back." The man said with extreme gloom.
"Then I will learn your divine abilities at that time; I, Han, will take my leave now." Han Li replied in an understated manner, then bowed slightly to the purple-robed tall man and floated away from the second floor.
Watching Han Li's back, the slanted-brow man's face was as calm as water.
Not long after, in an empty high-altitude area near Yu Que Pavilion, the figures of the fatty surnamed Jin and the slanted-brow man appeared, talking about something using sound transmission.
"Brother Weng, what is your purpose in competing for that spiritual land? It wasn't easy to say inside just now, so you should reveal a little bit to your old brother now." The fatty surnamed Jin asked with a smile, looking harmless to humans and animals.
"I didn't lie earlier; it is indeed to cultivate a secret technique that I had to change my cave dwelling. Otherwise, my brain isn't muddled, so why would I specifically look for a place with thin spiritual energy." The slanted-brow man sighed and replied.
Upon hearing the other party's words, the fat on the fatty surnamed Jin's face shook twice, and after a hehe laugh, his face was full of disbelief.
The slanted-brow man felt a headache, but he did not show any abnormality on his face, also showing an expression of "there is nothing I can do if you don't believe me."
"Forget it, regardless of what purpose Brother Weng has, since you are unwilling to say it clearly, I suppose you have your own difficulties. However, do you really intend not to hold back against that kid surnamed Han in the fight?" The fatty surnamed Jin's eyes rolled around, and he actually changed the topic.
"Why, does Fellow Daoist Jin have some connection with this person?" The slanted-brow man's expression darkened, and he became somewhat unhappy.
"How could I have any connection with this person? But Brother Weng might not know, this person is an ascender who just arrived in Tian Yuan City," the fatty surnamed Jin said as if reminding the slanted-brow man.
"An ascender! So what? We have an ascender join Tian Yuan City every two or three years. Does Brother Jin think I am not a match for an early-stage cultivator? I say, why is this person so bold; he probably got used to being a tyrant in the Lower Realm and still thinks of himself as some remarkable figure in our Spirit Realm." The slanted-brow man's expression changed slightly, but after pondering for a moment, he sneered indifferently.
"Haha, this person's cultivation is naturally not worth mentioning. With Brother Weng's divine abilities, even I, Jin, dare not lightly say I can win. No matter how heaven-defying an early-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator is, it is impossible for him to be your match. But the ascenders in the city are quite protective of their own; you can just teach him a lesson, it is best not to really hurt the other party's life. Otherwise, even if you have Senior Ming to rely on, if those guys find out, it will really cause a storm." The fatty surnamed Jin advised with a kind look.
"Since this person is so presumptuous, I naturally have to teach him a good lesson. As for whether I will really take his life, fighting has no eyes, so we will see when the time comes." Cold light flashed in the slanted-brow man's eyes, but he replied lightly.
"Since Brother Weng has said so, I, your brother, cannot say anything more. Three days later, I also have to fight for my life against four other guys. I don't know if I can get what I want." The fatty surnamed Jin made a miserable face.
"Brother Jin is being too modest. I heard that Brother Jin recently obtained an ancient treasure with incredible divine effects, and its power is not below that of an ordinary spirit treasure." The slanted-brow man suddenly showed a strange smile.
Upon hearing this, the fatty surnamed Jin's expression changed, but he immediately regained his composure.
"I didn't expect Brother Weng to know about this; I did indeed obtain a treasure a few days ago, but to say its power is above a spirit treasure is naturally an exaggeration. It just has some strange effects for self-defense." The fatty surnamed Jin waved his hands repeatedly.
"Is that so?" The slanted-brow man showed an expression that was neither a smile nor a frown.
Next, after the two of them talked for a while with ulterior motives, the fatty surnamed Jin turned into a red light and left.
Watching the escape light disappear on the horizon, the man surnamed Weng suddenly had a ferocious expression and hummed lightly.
"Hmph, actually wanting to enrage me and make me form a great grudge with an ascender. He really has a good plan." He seemed to be talking to himself.
"The fatty surnamed Jin knows quite a bit about you and has already raised some suspicions; it is best to be cautious in your future actions. He is not worth worrying about, but his grandfather is very troublesome, and I don't want to provoke him either." Another man's voice suddenly came from above the slanted-brow man's head.
Then, spiritual light flashed there, and a foot-long dragon, entirely emerald green and resembling jade, appeared.
"Master, don't worry. As soon as I win the spiritual land, I will immediately seal off the entire spiritual land. Unless he really knows something, he will definitely be helpless." Upon seeing the jade dragon, the slanted-brow man immediately bowed and then said with extreme respect.
"Hmm, I am relatively at ease with how you do things. But this matter is of great importance; if I weren't at a critical moment in refining a spirit treasure, I would never have sent only a clone. I hope you won't disappoint me." The jade dragon nodded and said in an old-fashioned tone.
"This disciple will definitely not disappoint Master." The slanted-brow man promised while patting his chest, but then asked with a hesitant expression:
"However, is the news really accurate? The spiritual energy there is really not very good; it seems impossible for it to be that person's final place of sitting in meditation."
"Of course I don't have absolute certainty that the news is true. But with that person's status, even if there is only a glimmer of possibility, it is enough for us to investigate. As long as it is true, if we obtain that person's legacy treasures and cultivation techniques, not only will I have no worries about surviving the tribulation this time, but it is also very possible for you to advance to Void Refinement. You can only succeed in the competition three days later; you must not fail. If the other party is really somewhat troublesome, you don't need to hold back; just kill him directly. Even if there might be some trouble later, compared to that person's legacy treasures, this is nothing at all." The jade dragon's voice turned icy.
"This disciple understands." The slanted-brow man felt a chill in his heart, but immediately agreed.
"However, ascenders are all good at fighting, so you cannot be too careless. Although this person is only at the early stage of Spirit Transformation, to be on the safe side, I will temporarily lend you the 'Thousand Soul Bell' to use; three days of temporary refining is enough for you to drive this treasure temporarily. In that case, it will be foolproof." The jade dragon pondered for a moment, then opened its mouth, and a ball of baleful energy sprayed out, inside which was wrapped a foot-long black bell, its surface entangled with black energy and inscribed with dense talismanic incantations.
Upon hearing these words from the dragon, the man was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly for the reward, then shook his sleeve, and a blue glow flew out, wrapping the bell into his sleeve.
Afterward, the jade dragon gave a few more instructions from a high position before turning into a green light and shooting into the slanted-brow man's other sleeve.
The slanted-brow man then turned around, turned into a blue light, and shot away in another direction.
Han Li naturally did not know about all these things, and even less did he expect that someone really had murderous intentions toward him.
After leaving Yu Que Pavilion, he did not immediately return to the Flying Spirit Hall, but according to the markings on the map, he flew in the city for a full half-day, and finally, at a high altitude ten thousand li away, he looked down at everything in the city, his brows slightly furrowed as he pondered something.
Speaking of which, it would be more accurate to call Tian Yuan City "Yuan Kingdom." The area under the jurisdiction of the entire city is almost equivalent to a small country in the Human Realm. But the Tian Yuan City in the true sense is not too big, just a city area of tens of thousands of li surrounded by huge city walls.
This city area is trapezoidal, with city walls built in the front and back, while the two sides are covered by thick mist produced by a huge immortal formation, so even existences at the True Spirit level cannot break in by force. The city wall facing the barbarian world is the narrowest, only a hundred li long, and the city walls inscribed with formation talisman incantations are thousands of zhang high, looking like skyscrapers from afar, making people feel awe.
Just outside this short giant wall, a large number of guards from the human and demon races patrol the nearby area day and night, and various barrier formations facing this direction are opened day and night without stopping.
Behind the city walls, there are always more than a million human and demon troops stationed in those giant towers year-round.
With such strict preventive measures, it is ensured that Tian Yuan City has never been successfully raided by alien races since the day it was established.
Correspondingly, the other city wall of the trapezoidal city area is not as tall and strict, but it stretches for thousands of li, and the number of human and demon races from the Three Realms and Seven Lands entering and exiting is numerous. Most of these people intend to go to the barbarian world for adventure, while a small number come to Tian Yuan City to trade. As a result, the city area has become extremely prosperous.
Outside the Tian Yuan City in the true sense are vast mountain ranges, and occasionally there are small mortal villages in the mountain ranges. But there is definitely no second cultivator city.
These mortal villages provide some necessary living supplies for Tian Yuan City on one hand, and continuously provide some low-tier cultivators and body refiners on the other. Of course, in the area divided for the demon race, there are also countless large herds of beasts and low-tier demonic beasts, which also provide a large amount of low-tier supplements for the demon race in Tian Yuan City.
Although it is said that the human and demon races have to join hands to stand in the Spirit Realm and jointly send people to guard Tian Yuan City. But humans and demons are different after all, and in order to avoid conflicts between the two races in the city, the entire Tian Yuan City uses a huge light screen to divide the city area into two from the middle. The two races manage their own sides.
As for the area outside the city, it is also bounded by an invisible no-man's land, with each side occupying one side.
Perhaps the only place where the human and demon races can coexist is an Elder Tower in the center of the city.
This tower is not only twice as thick as other giant towers, but it is also the final combat power of Tian Yuan City, where more than a dozen elders of the two races whose cultivation has reached the Body Integration stage discuss matters and make joint decisions.
Therefore, this tower appears extremely mysterious in the eyes of everyone in Tian Yuan City.
