Chapter 2214: Volume 11: The True Immortal Descends to the World, Chapter 2194: Falling Out (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)

With Han Li's current strength as a Mahayana stage cultivator, he felt that there was almost no trouble in the human race that he could not resolve, so his question just now was truly lighthearted, as if he hadn't taken the matter to heart at all.

"Brother Han, since you are already sitting here, I will naturally explain everything clearly. Fellow Daoist Du, since Brother Han has returned to the city, I will brief him on the relevant matters; you shouldn't have any objections, right? After all, this matter concerns his disciple." The silver-haired elder coughed lightly and spoke solemnly to both Han Li and the white-clothed youth.

"My disciple?"

"Of course, no problem!"

Han Li was startled.

Du Yu's thoughts raced, but he agreed immediately.

"That's right. Does Brother Han have a disciple who possesses the legendary Hidden Lightning Root?" The silver-haired elder did not hesitate anymore and asked Han Li frankly.

"You are talking about my disciple, Hai Yuetian. That is correct, he does indeed have the Hidden Lightning Root. However, I have never disclosed this to outsiders; how did you fellow Daoists find out?" Han Li's expression shifted slightly as he countered with a question.

"This... it seems that this disciple of Brother Han inadvertently revealed it himself while intoxicated at a gathering," Great Monk Jin Yue coughed lightly before the elder could answer, preempting him.

"I see. This disciple of mine has always been careless; it is not at all surprising that such a thing happened. Brother Gu, please continue." Han Li sighed, looking somewhat helpless.

The silver-haired elder gave a dry laugh and continued, "The extraordinary nature of a cultivator with the Hidden Lightning Root is something I believe Brother Han understands better than any of us. Several Elders of the Sacred Island learned of this matter and issued an invitation to our city some days ago, wishing to borrow the power of his Hidden Lightning Root. As for the specific details involved, it is not appropriate for me to elaborate further; I will let Fellow Daoist Du Yu explain the rest."

The silver-haired elder only told half the story, pushing the matter onto the white-clothed youth.

The other Heavenly Abyss City Elders, such as the Silver-Light Fairy, thought to themselves, "Brilliant."

If the silver-haired elder had explained everything, the Sacred Island envoys might not have said anything on the spot, but they would surely have been deeply displeased afterward.

By deferring the explanation to Du Yu, while it wouldn't change the outcome, they were still doing a "favor" for the Sacred Island group, ensuring they wouldn't easily vent their anger on the city later.

Du Yu's eyes flickered as he realized the elder's intention to curry favor, and he nodded, saying, "Since Brother Gu has said so, let me explain the rest. The Hidden Lightning Root of Brother Han's disciple is indeed exceptionally important to our entire race at this moment. Apart from the two seniors, Mo Jianli and Ao Xiao, our two races have no third Mahayana stage existence. And since both seniors have already lived for a long time, they cannot remain our protectors for many more years."

Du Yu paused slightly in his speech.

The cultivators in the hall all looked solemn.

"Without a Mahayana stage existence, the status of the human and demon races in the Spirit Realm can be imagined. Therefore, since the end of the Devil Tribulation, the Sacred Island has been doing its utmost to restore the losses suffered by our two races, while also striving to cultivate a new Mahayana stage existence. Whether it is the human or demon race, as long as another Mahayana stage existence appears, even if our two races still cannot compare to other great clans, our safety for the next tens of thousands of years will be guaranteed. That is why, after much deliberation, the Elders of the Sacred Island have decided to concentrate all resources to allow several cultivators who have reached the peak of the late-stage Body Integration realm to attempt to break through the Mahayana bottleneck simultaneously. The conscription of Brother Han's disciple is also a last resort. I still hope Brother Han can prioritize the big picture and allow this disciple to make a trip to our Sacred Island."

Du Yu clearly understood that the biggest obstacle to his mission had become Han Li, so he did not mention the Heavenly Abyss City Elders at all, focusing entirely on persuading Han Li.

"So, the Sacred Island sent the three of you here just for one small disciple of mine?" Han Li's face darkened, his voice sounding cold.

Anyone could hear the displeasure in his heart!

"I can guarantee that the disciple will absolutely not be in any danger to his life. And once the matter is accomplished, the Sacred Island will definitely reward him generously." Du Yu's heart skipped a beat, but he did not retreat, speaking slowly.

"Guarantee that his life is not in danger! This disciple of mine has not followed me for long and his cultivation is not high. If he is to use his Hidden Lightning Root to help others withstand the True Lightning Tribulation of the Mahayana stage, his realm would likely need to be raised by at least one major stage to be of any use. And as far as I know, there are several methods to forcibly stimulate and raise one's cultivation realm..." Han Li's voice sank, his tone becoming icy.

Anyone could hear the sarcasm in his words.

"It is true that this trip to the Sacred Island might leave behind some sequelae for Brother Han's disciple. But this matter concerns the future prosperity of our two races; Brother Han should be able to distinguish between the importance of one person's safety and the entire race, without us needing to say more." The yellow-haired, green-eyed man beside Du Yu finally couldn't hold back and blurted out.

"I can naturally distinguish between the importance of things. But I would like to ask, is it certain that as long as my disciple makes a move, the Sacred Island will be able to produce a Mahayana stage existence? If the three of you are willing to swear a Heart Demon Blood Oath, I would have no objection to letting my disciple make this trip for you. If there is no certainty, why should I let my disciple make such a vain sacrifice? Do you think Han is someone who is easy to bully?" Han Li did not show any politeness, speaking coldly.

Hearing Han Li's words, the faces of the three Sacred Island envoys turned ugly.

The Heavenly Abyss City Elders, such as Elder Gu, looked at each other and remained silent.

It seemed these Elders did not want to get involved in this matter anymore, all intending to stay out of it.

"To have ten percent certainty. Brother Han, what do you take breaking through to the Mahayana stage for? If Mahayana stage cultivators were so easy to produce, the Sacred Island wouldn't have spent so many years painstakingly planning to allow the few candidates we have cultivated to attempt this breakthrough. Brother Han, you are deliberately making things difficult." Du Yu's face had already turned extremely ugly, and after a long sigh, his tone became unkind.

"You want to sacrifice my disciple in vain, yet you say I am making things difficult? I see that Fellow Daoist Du's magic power is not weak. You are also one of the candidates selected by the Sacred Island to attempt the late-stage breakthrough this time, right?" Han Li's expression remained unchanged as he countered with a cold sneer.

"Whether I am worthy or not is not for you to say. But since Fellow Daoist Du speaks so selflessly, would you be willing to hand over all the pills and treasures you have prepared for your own breakthrough to me, so that I can have a better chance when I attempt my Mahayana breakthrough? If you can truly do that, I would have no objections." Han Li said expressionlessly.

"This... I am afraid I cannot agree to that. All the pills and treasures Du has prepared for the breakthrough were allocated by the Sacred Island; I do not have the authority to make such a promise."

Du Yu clearly had not expected Han Li to say such things, and after being stunned for a moment, he replied somewhat awkwardly.

"That is truly a pity. Since Fellow Daoist Du cannot do that, don't expect me to sacrifice my disciple to fulfill others. If the three of you have no other business in this city, you may return to the Sacred Island to report." Han Li waved his hand with a hint of sarcasm.

The faces of the three envoys turned even uglier.

"Brother Gu, Great Master Jin Yue, you have a deep friendship with Brother Han, why don't you persuade him? If I cannot take Brother Han's disciple away, I will not be able to report back to the Sacred Island. It would not be easy for your city to explain this to the Sacred Island either." Du Yu's expression shifted for a while before he turned to the silver-haired elder and others, speaking meaningfully.

"This... I am afraid it is not appropriate for us to interfere. Why don't Brother Han and the three of you both take a step back?" The silver-haired elder cursed inwardly, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally said this with a bitter smile.

Du Yu obviously didn't expect Han Li to have such words, and after a moment of hesitation, he replied somewhat awkwardly.

"This is really a pity. Since Daoist Du also asks himself that he cannot do this, don't think about Han sacrificing his disciples to fulfill others. If the three of you have nothing else to do in this city, you can return to Saint Island to report." Han Li curled his lips with a hint of sarcasm and waved his hand.

The three of Du Yu heard this, and their faces became even uglier.

"Brother Gu, Zen Master Jin Yue, you have a deep friendship with Daoist Han, so you should also persuade Daoist Han. If I can't take away Han Daoist's disciple this time, I won't be able to return to Saint Island to report. It's not easy for your city to explain this to Saint Island." Du Yu's face changed for a while, and after a moment of hesitation, he said with deep meaning to the silver-haired old man and others who had been silent.

"This..., I am afraid we can't intervene in this matter. Why don't Daoist Han and the three of you take a step back?" The silver-haired old man cursed in his heart, but after hesitating for a long time, he said with a wry smile.
