Chapter 2074: Seeing the Pure Maiden Art Again

Although the Ten Thousand Slave Tower had a profound background and no lack of Demon Venerable-level elders in its upper echelons, there were no such powerful existences sitting in Illusion Night City.

Therefore, these two Spirit Severing demon old men, although depressed in their hearts, were absolutely unwilling to offend Han Li, whose specific background was still unknown.

After all, in a sense, a Demon Venerable of unknown origin was even more daunting to them than the ancestors of the four great clans.

"Reporting to the two Protectors, that female slave just now was a slave reserved by the head of the Zhao clan. If we let this Senior take her away just like that, I'm afraid I won't be able to answer to the Zhao clan." After Han Li left, the old man in brocade clothes hurriedly complained to the two Spirit Severing demon clansmen.

"It was a female slave wanted by Zhao Wenhao? The Zhao clan is indeed not easy to dismiss. Have you already received his deposit?" The one-horned old man frowned and asked.

"That's not the case, but Zhao Wenhao came to this tower in person a few months ago, specifically naming that he wanted to buy a young female human cultivator above the Core Formation level, and expressed his willingness to pay a large sum of demon stones for it. Such matters of reserving suitable slaves in this tower have had precedents before." The old man in brocade clothes hurriedly explained.

"Precedents are precedents! Since no deposit was received, the human female cultivator just now doesn't necessarily have to be sold to the Zhao clan. If he insists, he can just spend some time finding another female slave who meets the criteria." The other Spirit Severing old man twisted his beard and said.

"Correct, since you were responsible for the Zhao clan's side, how to wrap up this matter is also left to you. You must not let the Zhao clan have any dissatisfaction with this tower, and even more so, you must not offend this Senior Han. Alright, we two are going back to continue meditating; the affairs of the tower will continue to be left to you two." The one-horned old man nodded, greeted his companion, and stepped into the nearby teleportation array.

"We will obey the orders of the two Protectors!"

The two shopkeepers of the Ten Thousand Slave Tower naturally bowed and agreed again.

With a flash of white light, the two Spirit Severing demon elders vanished in the array.

"Hehe, it seems Brother Huang will have to put in more effort this time. However, as far as I know, Brother Huang has always had a close relationship with the Zhao clan, so I think this matter can be handled properly."

The middle-aged man waited until he stood up, immediately smiled at the old man in brocade clothes, then moved his body, entered the array, and was immediately teleported away.

The old man in brocade clothes had a completely livid face. After pondering in place for a long time, he stomped his foot and cursed to himself:

"Consider me unlucky! To run into such an old monster while escorting this girl. It seems I have to visit the Zhao clan in person to explain and find another female slave. But where am I going to find a human female cultivator who meets his criteria?"

At this time, Han Li had already brought the girl in yellow robes onto a small beast cart, and under the driver's urging, the beast cart galloped along the street.

Han Li sat cross-legged in the center of the cart, his eyes slightly closed, meditating motionless.

The girl in yellow robes curled into a ball in the corner, occasionally stealing fearful glances at Han Li.

After the scene at the Ten Thousand Slave Tower, she naturally knew that Han Li was a Demon Venerable-level existence. But Han Li's youthful and ordinary appearance made her feel suspicious in her heart.

However, regardless, Body Integration cultivation was an existence she couldn't even imagine in her ordinary days. Now that she had fallen into the hands of such an old monster, the slight thought of escape she had originally held had long since vanished.

The girl in yellow robes was filled with panic and despair, truly not knowing what kind of unimaginable, terrible fate she would face in the future.

Although Han Li did not use secret arts to directly probe the girl's thoughts, he could guess seven or eight out of ten what she was thinking.

But he, who appeared calm, was experiencing a stormy sea in his heart; the faces of a white-robed girl's joys, angers, sorrows, and happiness were constantly emerging in his mind.

These images, some blurry, some vivid and clear, as if they were left yesterday. With Han Li's thousand-year-old calm heart, he couldn't stop them at all.

Han Li himself clearly had no intention of using secret arts to disperse the woman's image in his mind, instead slowly savoring the longing pain buried deep in his heart.

After an unknown amount of time, the beast cart finally stopped, and the driver's extremely respectful voice came from outside:

"Senior, the place you requested has arrived. Shall we get off and take a look now!"

"Since we have arrived, we naturally have to get off."

Han Li secretly took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the miscellaneous thoughts in his heart, opened his eyes, and replied.

Then he stood up and walked off the beast cart unhurriedly.

Although Han Li didn't greet her, the girl in yellow robes followed after hesitating for a moment.

This girl was also quite clever; she knew that as a fish on the chopping block, it was better to be obedient. Otherwise, with the other party's unfathomable supernatural powers, there were plenty of ways to make her wish for death.

Han Li threw a demon stone to the driver, glanced at what was in front of him, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

He saw that he was currently in front of a mountain wall over a thousand feet high.

Buildings similar to pavilions and caves were built against the mountain, scattered all over the mountain wall.

At the very front of the mountain wall, there was a giant gate tower dozens of feet high, with the three giant silver characters "Sacred Spirit Courtyard" written on the top.

Directly under the gate tower, there was a black wooden table, behind which lay an old demon clansman with gray hair, who seemed quite old and was currently sleeping soundly. Beside him, several young servants stood quietly, not daring to wake the old demon clansman easily.

Han Li swept his gaze over the old demon clansman, his gaze turned slightly cold, and his mouth moved silently twice.

The next moment, the old demon clansman lying on the table jumped up, and hurriedly shouted in a panic:

"I don't know which Fellow Daoist has visited our courtyard. I failed to welcome you from afar, and I hope you will forgive me."

As soon as the old demon clansman finished speaking, he saw Han Li and the girl in yellow robes not far away, immediately perked up, and then greeted them with a face full of smiles.

After the time it takes to eat a meal, Han Li appeared in a pavilion built on the mountain wall with the girl in yellow robes.

This pavilion was built suspended in the air, half deep into the stone wall and half protruding outside, and was equipped with restrictive magic arrays. Once activated, this building could be completely isolated from the outside, free from any interference.

It was exactly the kind of place that high-level demon clansmen who traveled alone liked to stay! However, the rent for this Sacred Spirit Courtyard was at least a small half more expensive than other similar places, so there were not many high-level demon clansmen who truly lived here.

Not long ago, Han Li brought the girl and did not check the building floor by floor, but after roughly sweeping it with his spiritual sense, he knew the contents and structure of each floor like the back of his hand, and satisfied, he paid the old demon clansman a sum of demon stones and rented the place temporarily for a year.

Now, Han Li had opened all the restrictions of the pavilion and brought the girl to the top floor, then sat down on a meditation cushion from a calm position, and signaled the girl to sit cross-legged opposite him.

Although the girl in yellow robes was extremely uneasy, she didn't dare to disobey and followed suit one by one.

At this time, Han Li shook one of his sleeves, and dozens of array flags shot out toward the surroundings, vanishing into the void in a flash.

The next moment, a hazy green light curtain emerged, covering the entire top floor of the pavilion.

Only then did Han Li feel relieved, and after smiling slightly at the girl, he suddenly patted the void on her body with his palm.

With a "puchi" sound, a powerful magic power surged out like a tide from his palm, shattering the restrictions in the girl's body into pieces.

The demon patterns that had been flickering on the girl's skin also instantly turned into clusters of black energy and dissipated.

The girl felt her spiritual power rolling in her body, and the originally restricted magic power reappeared in all parts of her meridians, making her ecstatic while also unable to stop muttering:

"Senior, what are you..."

"What is your name?" Han Li had no intention of answering, instead smiled slightly at the girl and asked.

"This junior is called Zhu Guo'er!" The girl in yellow robes only paused slightly before telling him immediately.

"Looking at you without a trace of demon energy, you are a pure human, right? Did you enter this realm yourself, or were you captured from the Spirit Realm?" Han Li continued to ask lightly.

"This junior should be considered to have entered by myself!" The girl in yellow robes muttered.

"Entered by mistake! How did you enter by mistake? With your cultivation, you don't have the ability to break the void. Could it be that you had other companions when you entered?" This reply was somewhat unexpected to Han Li, but after narrowing his eyes, he asked again indifferently.

"No, this junior was drifting in the Demon Realm alone!"

"Alone, that's quite interesting. Then who taught you the cultivation technique, the Reincarnation Art?" Han Li's expression remained unchanged, but he suddenly asked an unexpected question.

"Senior also knows the cultivation technique I practice. This technique was taught by my mother!" Hearing Han Li ask this, the girl in yellow robes hesitated for a moment before telling the truth.

After all, there was nothing to hide about such matters.

"What is your mother, and how did she obtain this Reincarnation Art?" Han Li's expression stirred, and he asked again with some solemnity.

"This..." The girl in yellow robes changed expressions, and a hesitant look appeared on her face.

After all, there is really nothing to hide about such matters.

"What is your mother, and how did she obtain this set of cultivation techniques, the Reincarnation Art?" Han Li's expression shifted, and he asked again with a hint of solemnity.

"This..." The girl in the yellow shirt's face changed slightly, and a look of hesitation appeared on her face.
