Chapter 1861: Calculation

Long Dong heard the words of the Long family ancestor, and although he was unwilling, he didn't dare to have any disobedience, and could only nod repeatedly.

On the other hand, the black-robed man beside the Long family ancestor looked at the Long family ancestor with surprise, and his lips couldn't help but move a few times.

The voice transmission clearly reached the ears of the black-robed man:

"Brother Long, what do you mean by your words just now..."

"Does Brother Hui still remember the mysterious demon ape that fought with me on Nine Immortals Mountain?" The Long family ancestor's voice also clearly reached the ears of the black-robed man.

"Naturally I remember. Doesn't Brother Long think it might be a demon cultivator from the Holy Island?" The black-robed man's expression changed slightly.

"Hehe, it is indeed so! But after investigating carefully, I found out that the demon ape came for a Qi Refining stage junior who was mistakenly brought to the Long family. And this junior is exactly the named disciple of this 'Fellow Daoist Han'."

"There is actually such a thing! Does Brother Long think this person has a relationship with the Holy Island?" The black-robed man gasped and couldn't help but mutter.

"Maybe it's related, maybe it just has some origin with that demon ape, I can't be sure either. But one thing is for sure, at the time of the demonic disaster, the Long family should avoid unnecessary trouble. Although this person's cultivation is not in our eyes, being able to advance to the Body Integration realm so quickly, I'm afraid he is not an ordinary early-stage cultivator, either possessing great divine abilities or possessing some strange treasures." The Long family ancestor replied calmly.

"According to what Brother Long said, the Long family should indeed not easily make enemies at this time. However, at the ceremony in a while, if we confront the Gu family, do we still have to give him three points of face?" The black-robed man frowned and transmitted.

"That's not necessary. How the True Spirit Ceremony should be fought, naturally, should be fought. If we really encounter this person, there's no need to hold back anything, just take the opportunity to see what this person's true strength is. If he truly has great divine abilities, perhaps we can count him in for that matter." The Long family ancestor said without hesitation.

"Hmm, Hui understands Brother Long's meaning. In a while, the ranking competition of the ceremony will be left to me." The black-robed man let out a low laugh, and then there was no more echo.

And the Long family ancestor closed his eyes, his face always expressionless, as if he had never had the previous conversation.

On the other side, Fairy Xiaofeng and Elder Xiao saw Han Li's previous actions and were also startled.

Although the Gu family and the Long family were not on good terms, Han Li's unceremonious attitude towards the Long family ancestor made the two, who felt they didn't have a Supreme Elder sitting in charge, secretly worried.

However, seeing that the Long family ancestor unexpectedly didn't make a big deal out of this, they were overjoyed and suspicious at the same time.

Han Li always maintained an indifferent expression, unable to see what the purpose of his previous actions was.

But in the eyes of other small and medium-sized families, he couldn't help but carry some unfathomable colors, and some people couldn't help but discuss matters related to him.

"Oh, Ying'er! This Fellow Daoist Han who saved you back then truly has quite a lot of guts. To dare to stand up to the old monster of the Long family with just an early-stage cultivation. It seems that either his own divine abilities are truly great, or he has some other reliance behind him. No wonder even our little Ying'er couldn't move his heart." The person speaking was a female cultivator in a group of True Spirit Families in the front row.

This group of people was next to the group of cultivators like the Long family, and most of them were female.

The person speaking sat at the very front of this group, actually a girl who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a five-colored feather garment, with a smiling expression.

On both sides of this girl sat a beautiful young woman of twenty-seven or twenty-eight and an old woman with gray hair.

"Ancestor, Ying'er's appearance is not outstanding, it's not strange at all that I couldn't enter Senior Han's eyes." The white-clothed girl standing behind the beautiful young woman, upon hearing this, blushed all over, and replied with some stuttering.

It was exactly that Ye Ying who had had contact with Han Li at the Myriad Treasure Assembly!

This girl's appearance was actually five or six parts similar to the feather-garment girl.

"Is that so? But why do I think our little Ying'er is cute no matter how I look at her. It seems this Han kid's taste is truly poor. Otherwise, as long as he joins our Ye family, not only can he have great benefits, but he can also marry my most beloved granddaughter." The feather-garment girl laughed lightly, her voice as clear and pleasant as a yellow oriole, making everyone nearby look over.

Although she had cast a restriction technique, the cultivation of other families couldn't hear the girl's voice, but just the gazes of other clansmen nearby made Ye Ying blush like blood, not only daring not to respond to her own ancestor's words, but also lowering her head lower and lower.

"Mother, stop teasing this girl. You are truly something. Why do you have to deliberately tease Ying'er every time." The beautiful young woman beside her couldn't help but complain to the girl.

"Hehe, what's so strange about this. Among these juniors, only Ying'er looks quite a bit like me when I was young, but her personality is too different, so I naturally have to point it out myself. Otherwise, it would be too boring for such a great beauty to be as cold as a wooden person all day long." The feather-garment girl shook her head and replied, looking indifferent.

Hearing the girl's reply, the young woman, who looked extremely dignified and steady, couldn't help but smile bitterly and had nothing more to say.

As for the other Ye family men and women, including the other old woman, listening to the conversation just now, they couldn't help but laugh.

At the same time, two Body Integration cultivators from another great family were also whispering.

"Tianli, that woman, didn't come, but this Han kid is also not a good person. Do we still act according to the original plan? After all, the plan discussed with the Lao family was aimed at that woman." A gorgeously dressed man with a dignified appearance frowned and said.

"Why not take action? That woman didn't come, count her lucky. This Han kid has no grudges with us, but since he came to help the Gu family, we have to give him some color. Although the two of us are only at the early stage of Body Integration, we have advanced tens of thousands of years earlier than him after all, so even without using joint techniques, it's enough to let him know the gap between us. Moreover, what we need to do is just consume some of his magic power and force out most of his strength. The real bitter battle will be left to the Lao family. That woman didn't attend this ceremony, I'm afraid the Lao family has been secretly laughing." A strange person wearing half a bronze mask, revealing only half a face as delicate as a baby's, replied lightly.

"Brother's words are also right. Besides, Tianli, that woman, wasn't the opponent of the two of us joining forces back then, so this kid is naturally even less of an opponent." The gorgeously dressed man tilted his head and thought for a moment, then smiled and agreed.

"This time, Fairy Tianli didn't participate in the True Spirit Ceremony, and there is only a guy at the early stage of Body Integration sitting in charge. It is a great opportunity for our Lao family to flourish! When competing, if we encounter other families, we can release some water. But when it's our turn to challenge the Gu family, we must go all out without sparing our vitality." A gloomy voice sounded in a family in the row behind.

"Yes, Ancestor!"

Other small families also had people...

And at this time, Han Li had naturally withdrawn his gaze and looked down again.

Only between his fingers, he didn't know when he had an extra golden gourd the size of a thumb, flickering in and out of his fingers, as if it were not a physical object, but besides that, there was nothing else extraordinary about it.

But for some reason, Han Li was very interested in playing with this object, appearing quite reluctant to part with it.

Thus, time passed bit by bit, and the dozens of True Spirit Families all waited honestly.

Finally, two hours later, spiritual light flashed in the center of the Myriad Spirit Terrace, and a milky-white magic array appeared on the green stone out of thin air. It was only a few zhang in size at first, but after spinning, it shone brightly and expanded wildly, turning into a giant the size of a mu.

Runes of various colors began to surge out from the magic array, emitting a buzzing sound.

The entire Myriad Spirit Terrace also trembled lightly the moment the magic array appeared.

As if responding to this, a series of piercing sounds rang out from the mountain walls in the surroundings, and then hundreds of giant light pillars, without any warning, rose one after another, each as thick as a water vat, flashing with dazzling five-colored light.

And under the influence of the light array, the sky above the canyon was covered with dark clouds in a gust of wind, and then, amidst a soul-shaking thunder, purple-gold electric arcs as thick as giant pythons appeared out of thin air.

"Ah, it's the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder!"

Many True Spirit Family disciples who were participating in this Myriad Spirit Ceremony for the first time, who had already been stunned by the previous celestial phenomena, were suddenly thrown into chaos and exclaimed.

"Hmph, a bunch of trash! What's there to be surprised about? This is the Myriad Spirit Lord about to appear. The sacrificial ceremony can begin, what do you think, Fellow Daoists?" The Long family ancestor, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened them, stood up from his chair, and said coldly with an expressionless face.

Although the voice was not loud, it was clear to everyone's ears, and the disciples who were a bit flustered couldn't help but calm down and look at each other.

"This is natural. According to the custom, this ceremony is still presided over by Brother Long." The gorgeously dressed man from the Feng family laughed and also stood up.

"The junior has no opinion!"

"The little girl also has no opinion, who let Brother Long be the one with the highest cultivation among us!"

"Brother Long, please!"

Other families also agreed one after another.

"Since you all have no opinion, let's offer the sacrifices first." The Long family ancestor looked at the sky and nodded.

At this time, the purple-gold electric arcs in the sky intertwined to form a giant electric net, and together with the giant light pillars rising from the surroundings of the canyon, they formed a giant cage.
