Chapter 1908: Stronghold of the Aristocratic Families

The gold-robed old monk saw these war vessels and immediately 'revealed' a hint of a smile on his face, and at once transmitted his voice from afar:

"Is it Daoist Han Li who has come? Poor monk Jin Yue has been waiting here for quite some time. WM net"

The voice of Master Jin Yue was not particularly loud, but when transmitted to the few enormous vessels at an extreme distance, it rumbled like thunder, its momentum quite astonishing.

"Master Jin Yue actually came out personally to greet me, Han Li is truly honored and startled! It seems the letter sent earlier has already been received by the master." At the front of the leading giant vessel, a green light flashed, and a green-'colored' figure appeared, and he also transmitted his voice clearly in the wind.

Landing on the city wall, the clarity was equally exceptional, as if it sounded right beside everyone's ears.

This figure was precisely Han Li.

Upon hearing these words, those high-level cultivators felt a great jolt in their hearts, and indeed felt that the reputation was not undeserved.

"Haha, Han brother, if you are willing to lend us a hand in defending Tian Yuan City, then even coming out to welcome you from ten thousand li away is proper." Master Jin Yue laughed heartily and said.

Upon hearing this, Han Li gave a faint smile and did not say anything further.

In the blink of an eye, those few giant vessels arrived above the city wall after a few flashes, and Han Li's body moved, and he floated down leisurely.

"It has been many years since we last met, Master, your bearing remains as before." Han Li glanced over everyone, then his gaze finally settled on the old monk's face, and he cupped his fists and said:

"This old monk, at this age, dare not speak of any bearing, but Han brother, in just a few short hundred years, has again advanced to the mid-stage realm, which truly makes us old fellows feel ashamed! When I was your age back then, I had only just entered the Void Refinement stage." Master Jin Yue confirmed Han Li's current realm with his divine sense, and upon being startled, he could not help but give a wry smile in reply.

"Master, why be so modest? If I am not mistaken, your eyes are bright and full of luster, clearly a sign of the great accomplishment of some divine ability." Han Li gave a hearty laugh, half-smiling, and replied.

"Daoist friend has keen eyes like a torch; I have indeed recently accomplished some divine ability, but compared to Daoist friend, it is not worth mentioning. Well, Han brother, please follow me to the Elder's Hall for a detailed discussion. As for your disciples and juniors, I will have someone arrange proper accommodations for them." The old man shook his head humbly a few times and then turned sideways to say.

"Then I will trouble Master to lead the way." Han Li was not polite in the least, nodded without hesitation, and agreed.

Thus, Master Jin Yue instructed the two cultivators behind him to continue flying those few flying vessels into the city wall, and then he personally accompanied Han Li as they flew to another place deep within Tian Yuan City.

After an hour, Han Li and Master Jin Yue appeared in a certain hall within a giant tower.

In this hall, whether the tables and chairs or the walls, everything was crystalline and pure white, as if the entire structure were built from the finest jade.

Besides Han Li and the other person taking seats separately, there were also three Body Integration stage cultivators keeping them company.

One was an old man with a full head of silver hair but a youthful face, wearing a white robe; one was a burly man wearing a dark leather robe; and one was a woman wearing a silver-'colored' mask, with black hair draped over her shoulders.

Among these three, the white-robed old man clearly had the highest cultivation, actually being a mid-stage great completion Body Integration cultivator, seemingly only one step away from becoming a late-stage cultivator.

While the burly man and the masked woman were early-stage Body Integration cultivators, but their auras were strange, obviously each having cultivated some peculiar secret technique.

At this moment, Han Li sat in the chair, although he was responding to others' words with polite talk, his gaze kept scanning the silver-'colored' masked woman nonstop, and his expression actually hid a hint of strangeness.

"What, Han brother, have you seen the Silver Light Fairy before?" The white-robed old man saw this, smiled, and asked.

"I also have some doubts in my heart, Han brother, could you please clarify 'confusion' one or two?" The masked woman, having been stared at by Han Li since he entered the door in this manner, also spoke somewhat resentfully.

"Han Li has never seen the fairy before, but the Daoist friend Silver Light's aura somewhat resembles that of an old acquaintance of mine from the past, I do not know which clan of the demon race the fairy comes from?" Han Li, after his eyes flickered a few times, asked thoughtfully.

"The aura is similar! It seems your old acquaintance is also a member of the Silver Wolf Clan. Daoist friend Silver Light is precisely one of the two Body Integration cultivators of the Silver Wolf Clan!" The black-robed burly man suddenly understood and interjected.

"So it is. Elder Yan's words are not wrong, I indeed come from the Silver Wolf Clan. I do not know which of your old acquaintances this is; perhaps I should know them." Upon hearing this, the Silver Light Fairy's expression 'color' eased, and she curiously asked in return.

"Since the fairy is truly of the Silver Wolf Clan, Han Li indeed intends to ask a question. I do not know if the fairy knows of a Daoist friend named Linglong from your noble clan, and whether she is still safe now?" Han Li's expression 'color' moved, and he indeed opened his mouth and asked about the matter of Silver Moon.

With his current cultivation, he naturally would no longer fear the Heavenly Kui Wolf King, and thus he asked with unusual 'openness'.

Regarding news of Silver Moon, he had indeed paid special attention to inquire about some after reaching the Body Integration stage. However, the Silver Wolf Clan's hiding place is extremely secretive, and its members rarely interact with outsiders, so those he asked either knew nothing at all or could only provide a bit and a half of information, making it impossible to know Silver Moon's exact current situation.

Now encountering such a Body Integration stage existence of the Silver Wolf Clan, Han Li naturally would not let go of the opportunity to inquire.

"Linglong? Daoist friend's old acquaintance is Linglong younger sister! Correct, I heard Han brother is an ascended cultivator, could it be that you are……" Upon hearing Han Li's words, the Silver Light Fairy was startled at once, but just as she spoke half of her sentence, she seemed to recall some taboo and abruptly stopped speaking, her gaze toward Han Li becoming strangely odd.

"It seems Daoist friend Silver Light truly knows Linglong?" Upon hearing this, Han Li felt joy in his heart, but maintained composure on the surface and said.

"Linglong younger sister and I grew up together from childhood, so how could I not know her? Although I know some things about Linglong, I cannot say more to Daoist friend Han. I can only tell Daoist friend that Linglong is now safe and has already advanced to the late stage of Void Refinement." The Silver Light Fairy sighed lightly and said.

"Cannot say more, what in this world cannot be spoken openly? Well then, this place is not suitable for discussing this matter. In two days, I will visit the fairy alone and then discuss Linglong in detail." Han Li's eyes flashed with cold light, he pondered briefly 'yin', and transmitted his words with slight lip movement.

Upon hearing this, the Silver Light Fairy's face 'color' flashed with hesitation, but in the end she still gently nodded.

The white-robed old man and others, seeing Han Li and the Silver Light Fairy in this state, although they were somewhat curious in their hearts, but these people were all old and deep in scheming, so not only did no one bring up this matter again afterward, but instead the topic shifted and they began to talk mostly about matters related to this demon calamity, and they warmly welcomed Han Li's assistance this time.

Even before arriving, Han Li had used the Ten Thousand Li Fu to help Tian Yuan City resist the demon tribe's attacks during the first few years of the demon calamity's outbreak, in exchange for the condition that his disciples could receive protection here, and he informed these Tian Yuan City elders.

The demon tribe's fiercest attacks also occurred only in the first few waves of attacks when the demon calamity broke out, so these elders naturally were very pleased, and in their reply they simply agreed.

Thus for a time, he and these few elders conversed happily, and after exchanging some strategies for dealing with the demon calamity, he finally rose to bid farewell.

Gazing at Han Li's disappearing back at the doorway, the remaining appearance behind the Silver Light Fairy's mask, yin and yang undetermined to the extreme……

Two days later, Han Li came alone to the Silver Light Fairy's residence, and upon entering, he stayed for a full half day before emerging with a grim 'color' on his face.

At the doorway, he paused his steps, lifted his head to gaze at the extremely blue sky for a while, then let out a cold laugh, and his escape light rose together, transforming into a green rainbow that shot 'forth' and departed.

The place where Han Li resides is an independent white-'colored' high tower in Tian Yuan City. Although this tower's area is ten times smaller than that of the other giant towers in a flash, it is still sufficient for Han Li's many disciples to reside.

And Han Li himself temporarily resides at the very top level of this giant tower.

However, this does not mean he truly intends to reside here long-term. After just over ten days, Han Li summoned his three disciples, instructed them on a few matters, and then departed this tower as a green rainbow.

Before the outbreak of the demon calamity, he still had one matter that must be done. Therefore, he traveled without the slightest pause along the way, directly arrived at the teleportation array of Tian Yuan City, gave a few instructions, and was then directly teleported by the guards in charge of transmission to some giant city unknown how many tens of thousands of li away.

Han Li completely ignored the respectful and astonished gazes of the guards guarding the array on this side, and with his escape light rising together, he also flew off from this giant city, and flew without the slightest pause in a certain direction.

About two months later, Han Li suddenly appeared in a mountain range filled with a solemn killing aura.

This mountain range stretches for an astonishing ten million li, and within the mountain range, vaguely there are dozens of cities of various sizes interwoven to form a giant ring, and various fortresses tightly connect them together.

And outside the fortresses, then one by one, either bright or dark, teleportation arrays are spread throughout the mountain range, the entire mountain range seeming to have become a super great fortress from east to west.

In the mountain range, teams of guards wearing various-'colored' armor, more than a hundred at most and as few as a dozen, patrol without cease.

But with Han Li's astonishing cultivation, naturally he encountered no obstruction all the way to the deepest part of the mountain range, and stopped before the largest of the dozen or so cities.

He gazed from low altitude at a huge banner on the city wall, on which was a large "Long" character.

Han Li narrowed his eyes, and he had already learned something about the situation of these cities back when he was in Tian Yuan City.

This place is precisely the stronghold group where the Long family connects with other dozens of clans to jointly build a resistance against the demon tribe.

Although these clans vary in scale, and some are not even true spirit clans, their forces are not small, otherwise they would not have the confidence to establish their own gates here and be full of confidence in opposing this demon calamity.

Of course, their greatest confidence, naturally, is also due to the existence of the Long family's old ancestor, who is almost comparable to the highest combat power of humanity.

But when they learn that this relied-upon mountain, will impatiently leave this place before the demon calamity ends and enter the demon realm, what expression will they then have?

After a moment of thought laced with mockery, Han Li suddenly flipped his hand over, and a golden-yellow talisman appeared in his palm; in an instant, it transformed into a golden light that shot out and vanished in a flash.

Then his escape light flickered, and he landed on a small hill nearby, sitting cross-legged on a rock and calmly closing his eyes.
