Chapter 2212
The person these people were discussing was none other than Han Li himself.
And upon hearing Zen Master Jin Yue's words, several people who were inclined to hand over Han Li's disciple had extremely ugly faces.
Even as the only remaining Great Ascension existences of the two clans, the prestige of Mo Jianli and Aoxiao was slightly inferior even to Saint Island.
If it weren't for the regulations established by the two clans in ancient times that Great Ascension existences should not intervene in the daily affairs of Saint Island, Mo Jianli and Aoxiao would definitely have no problem controlling Saint Island themselves.
Now that this matter involved these two Great Ascension stage seniors, even if others had other thoughts in their hearts, they definitely dared not easily express any stance for a while.
The entire great hall was silent!
"Hmm, I personally verified this point. I heard that the two adults believe that Daoist Han is the person most likely to succeed in impacting Great Ascension among our two clans, which is why they value him so much. And I heard that 'Fairy Linglong', the direct descendant of Senior Aoxiao, for some reason, also followed by Daoist Han's side, and should be in seclusion together now. If we really anger Daoist Han, the consequences might not be better than offending Saint Island." Zen Master Jin Yue pondered and said slowly.
Some of the people in the hall heard Jin Yue's words, some were expressionless, and some had their expressions changing drastically, obviously their thoughts were still different and could not be easily unified.
"This is not necessarily true. The reason why Saint Island wants Han Daoist's disciple from our Tianyuan City this time is also for the future grand plan of our two clans. According to Saint Island's statement, Daoist Du Yu, who has been in seclusion on Saint Island for ten thousand years, has finally reached the Great Completion of the late Body Integration stage and is coming out of seclusion early, and has also practiced the supreme divine ability 'Haoran Dangxie Technique' of Confucianism to the supreme realm. With this Confucian holy technique practiced by Daoist Du and various auxiliary pills and magic tools carefully prepared by Saint Island, the grasp of breaking through the Great Ascension bottleneck is actually as high as two percent. It's just that there is no good means to deal with the True Thunder Tribulation. But Saint Island learned from somewhere that Han Daoist's disciple has the rare Hidden Thunder Root, which can help people resist the thunder tribulation, so they are determined to summon him to the island to assist Daoist Du Yu in passing the True Thunder Tribulation. If this move can really add another Great Ascension existence to our two clans, I think even the two adults Mo Jianli would be happy to see it. Even if Han Daoist himself knows about this, he cannot blame us." A black-robed man sitting on the side opened his mouth without any emotion.
"Brother Yan's words make sense! Saint Island is just letting Han Daoist's disciple go to assist Daoist Du Yu in passing the True Thunder Tribulation, it doesn't necessarily mean something will happen. Maybe there will be another opportunity." The golden-faced man touched his chin and nodded in agreement.
"Hmph, you speak nicely. With Han Daoist's disciple only just entering the Transformation stage, even if he has the legendary Hidden Thunder Root, how can he resist the True Thunder Tribulation? Most of the time, he will use methods to stimulate potential and consume lifespan to forcibly improve his cultivation realm. By then, even if Han Daoist's disciple survives the True Thunder Tribulation by luck, he will become a complete cripple in the future. How can Han Daoist be willing to let it go!" Fairy Yinguang pointed out directly with some anger.
"For the sake of our two clans' grand plan, just crippling a cultivator who has just entered the Transformation stage can obtain a Great Ascension cultivator. No matter how you look at it, this is an extremely profitable thing. Why not!" The black-robed man narrowed his eyes and said mercilessly.
"Hehe, if Han Daoist really hadn't become a Great Ascension cultivator, naturally everything would be easy to talk about, just let Saint Island forcibly suppress Han Daoist. But what if Han Daoist luckily broke through to the Great Ascension realm? How should we face it? Should we let Saint Island directly sacrifice us to eliminate Han Daoist's anger? Using a few Body Integration stage existences to appease the rage of a Great Ascension cultivator, is this also an extremely cost-effective thing for our two clans? After all, our Elder Council promised Han Daoist when he left that we would take good care of his disciples no matter what happened. Do you really think that after this happens, we can stay out of it!" The purple-haired woman rolled her eyes and said unpleasantly.
The black-robed man's face changed slightly when he heard this, but after shaking his head, he didn't say anything to refute.
The great hall was quiet again, and everyone was silently pondering the pros and cons in their hearts.
"Brother Gu, what is your opinion?" Zen Master Jin Yue sighed and asked the silver-haired old man suddenly.
"What can my opinion be at this time! This matter is really not easy to handle, just relying on us few people, I am afraid we really can't argue out any results." The silver-haired old man replied with a wry smile.
"No matter how difficult it is, it must be handled. We must also think of a two-pronged approach. We really shouldn't violate Saint Island's orders directly. We all know Han Daoist's power, he can almost be considered the number one Body Integration cultivator of our two clans, and we cannot afford to offend him either. And Han Daoist is not a person who is easy to fool, so don't bring out ordinary excuses and small means. The old monk's face twitched slightly, and a hint of sorrow appeared on his face.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts when they heard the name Qinglong.
Although none of the people present had seen the fall of the Qing blood man with their own eyes, they knew clearly that it was Han Li who took the ruthless action.
Back then, Han Li could kill the Body Integration stage Great Elder of the Nine Stars Sect, Qinglong Shangren, without hesitation for the sake of a junior sister in name. If he really turned against him, would he also take ruthless action against them in a rage? This is something no one dares to be sure of.
Who let them make a promise to Han Li that they would protect his disciples.
In the face of a powerful enemy who could easily take their lives, even the golden-faced man and the black-robed man couldn't help but hesitate again.
"Forget it, this matter concerns the entire Elder Council, and just relying on us few people today, we definitely won't be able to reach a result. The Saint Island envoy will arrive in the city in a while, so let's discuss a safe method together after all the other elders gather. Of course, during this period, Han Daoist's disciples must also be temporarily restricted from leaving Tianyuan City. At the same time, Fairy Yinguang, you go and contact the two seniors Aoxiao again to see if you can contact them. As long as these two adults speak directly, no matter how we do it, we can be worry-free. Daoist Yan, you are responsible for contacting Saint Island, first find out who the Saint Island envoy is this time, and see if there is any possibility of changing the order. As long as Saint Island is willing to give up summoning Han Daoist's disciple, our Tianyuan City can grit our teeth and promise some other conditions." The silver-haired old man pondered for a long time before finally deciding.
"The two adults Aoxiao and Mo Jianli have disappeared for some time since they signed the truce agreement with the Demon Race back then, and even the relatives and disciples of the two adults cannot contact them. This little sister can only say that I will try again." Fairy Yinguang replied without much hope.
"Daoist Yan has quite a few close friends on Saint Island, so it should be easy to inquire about some news. However, wanting Saint Island to give up the previous order is basically impossible." The black-robed man also sighed slightly and said.
"Hmph, of course I know that both of these things are extremely difficult to handle, but you still have to try your best. If there is really a turning point, wouldn't we be able to get out of this big trouble." The silver-haired old man said expressionlessly.
Hearing the old man's words, the black-robed man and Fairy Yinguang could only nod and agree again.
So in the following time, after the matters of Saint Island and Han Li were temporarily put aside, the silver-haired old man and others began to discuss the wiping out of the remaining demon clans near Tianyuan City...
Three months later, at a giant city gate about a hundred zhang high in Tianyuan City, more than a hundred armored soldiers stood neatly on both sides of the gate, and several people wearing various costumes stood above the city gate, looking into the distance.
Among them, one had silver hair, and another wore a pale golden cassock, which were Elder Gu and Zen Master Jin Yue of Tianyuan City.
As for the others standing beside them, the black-robed man, Fairy Yinguang, and other Body Integration elders were also standing there.
Everyone stood on the city wall silently, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
But after a cup of tea time passed, there was still no spiritual light in the distant sky. The silver-haired old man in the middle looked up at the sun in the sky, finally frowned, and suddenly asked the black-robed man beside him:
"Daoist Yan, will the Saint Island spirit boat really arrive in the city on time at noon today? You couldn't have remembered the time wrong, could you?"
"Brother Gu, how could I have made a mistake about such a thing. Maybe the Saint Island envoy encountered an unexpected event on the way, so they were delayed a bit." The black-robed man thought for a while and replied.
"What could have delayed them? This time, three Saint Island envoys came at once, and even you couldn't find out the identities of these three people. It seems that Saint Island is really coming with bad intentions this time." The silver-haired old man shook his head slightly, thinking about something else in his heart.
The black-robed man's eyes flashed twice, but he didn't answer anything immediately.
Zen Master Jin Yue on the side said indifferently:
"Although our Elder Council has discussed it several times, we still haven't come up with a solution. Now we can only go with the flow and see what happens."
The other Body Integration elders nearby couldn't help but smile bitterly when they heard this.
"They are here!" Fairy Yinguang, wearing a mask, couldn't see the expression on her face, but said in a low voice at this moment.
Everyone was startled and hurriedly looked up into the distance again.
I saw a flash of green light in the distant sky, and a green rainbow broke through the air, with an extremely fast escape speed. After just a few flashes, it arrived near the city gate.
The light converged suddenly, and a green jade boat appeared.
At the bow of the boat, a green-robed young man stood straight. Seeing the people below, a flash of surprise flashed on his face, but he immediately cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"Brother Gu, Master Jin Yue, why are you here? Could it be that you knew Han would return to Tianyuan City today?"
All the elders on the city gate were dumbfounded when they saw the young man's face clearly.
