Chapter 2217

Han Li saw this, waved his hand, and said casually:

"I didn't have time to tell the clan about this earlier, so how can this be blamed on you fellow Daoists? You don't need to be so formal, please rise."

"Many thanks to Senior Han for forgiving our rudeness!"

Elder Gu and the others felt relieved and rose one after another, apologizing.

The yellow-haired man and the ugly woman also rose with the crowd, but their faces were devoid of any blood, looking extremely terrified.

These two Holy Island envoys, once they thought that they had offended a Great Ascension cultivator who might be the only pillar of support for the human and demon races for the next tens of thousands of years, could be imagined how trembling they were in their hearts.

At this time, the purple-gold giant hand in the light barrier had silently dissipated at some unknown time.

But Du Yu, who had been imprisoned by the giant force for a period of time, lay limp on the high platform, looking as if he didn't even have the strength to say a word.

Han Li turned his head to sweep a glance at the platform, and calmly instructed the yellow-haired man and his companion:

"You two take Fellow Daoist Du away, and bring a message to the Elders on the Holy Island: say that my disciple's cultivation is not easy, and is not meant to be sacrificed for others. However, if the clan truly needs help with other matters, I will not shirk my duty."

"Yes, we will definitely bring Senior's words. Then we will take our leave." The yellow-haired man swallowed his saliva, and not daring to have any other opinions, hurriedly bowed and said.

The ugly woman also kept saying yes on the side.

Han Li nodded and waved his hand at the two.

Only then did the two dare to use magic to fly to the stone platform, lift Du Yu up, and after apologizing, hurriedly left the competition hall.

As for Han Li taking away the white-clothed youth's two treasures, they didn't dare to mention it at all.

Han Li watched the figures of the Holy Island group disappear at the hall door, then turned his head to smile at the silver-haired old man and the others:

"Fellow Daoists, please excuse me. If there is anything, we will talk at my residence tomorrow. I have been away for a long time, so I will go back to see my disciples first, and then have a good chat with you fellow Daoists."

"This is natural. Senior Han has come from afar, so you should naturally rest well first. It is only right for us to visit formally in a few days."

"Exactly, I hope Senior Han will not blame us for disturbing you then."

The silver-haired old man and Zen Master Jin Yue looked at each other and replied respectfully.

Han Li smiled, didn't say anything more, bowed slightly, and left the hall with Yin Yue and the others.

Immortal Yin Guang stared blankly at the hall door for a long while before murmuring in a voice so low it was almost inaudible:

"He actually really advanced to Great Ascension. It seems Sister Yin Yue really found the right person this time."

In her joy, there was even a faint expression of melancholy.

As for the black-robed man and other Elders who originally advocated handing Hai Dashao over to the Holy Island, once they knew Han Li was a Great Ascension cultivator, they were all terrified in their hearts, worried that this newly advanced Great Ascension cultivator would know about their performance in the Elder Council that day and settle scores with them. If that were really the case, their future days would definitely not be easy.

At the same time, Yin Yue followed Han Li out of the hall door and suddenly smiled and asked:

"Brother Han, did you really just let those Holy Island envoys go? Aren't you afraid they will hold a grudge and do something unfavorable to you in the future?"

"With my current status, it's a blessing if I don't go looking for trouble with them, so how would they dare to have any unfavorable thoughts toward me? In a situation where the strength is as vast as heaven and earth, they won't have the guts." Han Li replied nonchalantly.

"But that guy named Du Yu could directly manifest a Saint's image, so he is not an ordinary Body Integration late-stage cultivator. Aren't you afraid he will also successfully advance to Great Ascension in the future?" Yin Yue chuckled and said again.

"Not to mention whether he can really successfully advance to Great Ascension, even if he really becomes a Great Ascension cultivator, it's nothing. To me, it will at most be a little trouble in the future." Han Li smiled and replied confidently.

When he was in the Body Integration late-stage, he had faced Great Ascension existences and could protect himself. Now that he had advanced to Great Ascension, his divine abilities had increased several times, and he would no longer take ordinary Great Ascension cultivators into his eyes.

"That's true. But most importantly, with Brother Han's current status, it is indeed not suitable to be too ruthless to them. Otherwise, it would be too unbecoming of your status as a Great Ascension Senior." Yin Yue smiled beautifully.

"Hehe, perhaps there is that reason too." Han Li replied with a chuckle, but he knew very well in his heart that if it really involved his life, he wouldn't care about any "Senior" status and would naturally strike to eliminate the source of danger directly.

Several hours later, Han Li appeared in the high tower of his residence and sat down in the main seat of a hall on the top floor.

Hai Dashao and Qi Lingzi brought more than a dozen direct disciples to pay their respects with great excitement.

"Rise. I haven't seen you for these years, but you haven't been lazy, and your cultivation has improved." Han Li flicked his large sleeve, letting the group rise to speak.

"Congratulations to Master for advancing to Great Ascension cultivator. This is not only a great celebration for us disciples, but also a great event for the entire human race to be proud of." Qi Lingzi rose and replied respectfully to Han Li.

They had been trembling in the tower because of the Holy Island envoys. But in the end, they didn't see the Holy Island envoys, but their Master suddenly returned to the tower and directly told them that he had already advanced to Great Ascension.

The contrast was so great that Qi Lingzi and Hai Dashao were wild with joy.

And after not seeing him for hundreds of years, Qi Lingzi, this disciple of Han Li, had now advanced to the Spirit Severing late-stage, only a step away from the Void Refinement stage.

And Hai Dashao on the side also looked like he had just advanced to the Spirit Severing stage.

That the two could advance several stages in just a few hundred years, besides their extraordinary cultivation talent, was naturally due to the large amount of medicinal pills Han Li left behind when he left.

With Han Li's wealth, when he left, he not only left enough daily cultivation pills for the two, but also prepared all the auxiliary pills needed for their advancement early on.

Otherwise, his disciples were all extraordinary, and it would be impossible for them to advance so smoothly.

Han Li heard Qi Lingzi's words, smiled slightly, and said:

"My advancement to Great Ascension was originally half due to opportunity, so I was lucky to break through the bottleneck. If it weren't for the custom that every race holds a Great Ascension celebration when a Great Ascension existence appears, I wouldn't want to make such a big fuss. Before this matter is officially announced, you don't need to do anything extra, just send people to inform the major forces in the clan about the celebration time, to prevent some fellow Daoists from not being able to attend in time. Let's set it for one year later, and the location can be here in Tianyuan City."

"Yes, we will obey Master's orders." Qi Lingzi and Hai Dashao bowed and answered almost in unison.

"By the way, where are your Aunt-Master Bing Feng and that girl Bai Guo'er? Why are they not here?" Han Li swept his gaze across the hall and asked suddenly.

"Reporting to Master, Junior Sister Bai Guo'er returned to the sect after the Demon Tribulation ended, but a few years ago, she went out to travel with friends by appointment, though she often sends letters back. As for Aunt-Master Bing Feng, she entered the Savage World alone decades ago, and there has been no news back yet. But Master, please rest assured, before Aunt-Master Bing Feng left, she left behind a Life-Soul Lamp, which is still safe and sound." Qi Lingzi replied respectfully.

"The Savage World is incomparably vast, so it's not strange to stay there for hundreds of years. Since your Aunt-Master Bing Feng decided on this trip, she must have her own deep meaning, so there's no need to worry too much. But this girl Bai Guo'er, traveling with others with her cultivation, is a bit reckless. Your Junior Sister's 'Ice Marrow Body' essence has been successfully cultivated, and if it falls into the eyes of some villains who also cultivate cold-attribute techniques, it would be no less than a great supplement to increase cultivation. Send a message quickly and let your Junior Sister come back as soon as possible." Han Li frowned and ordered without hesitation.

"Yes, disciple was inconsiderate, I will go handle this matter immediately." Qi Lingzi was startled and agreed immediately.

Then he immediately ordered a direct disciple behind him, and after the disciple bowed to Han Li, he respectfully retreated from the hall.

"Yue Tian, tell me properly about what happened during this time. Especially, tell me properly about the process of how the Hidden Thunder Root was leaked." Han Li looked at Hai Dashao and asked with a smile that wasn't a smile.

"Master, disciple knows I was wrong... there's no need to go into detail about this." Hai Dashao felt embarrassed when he heard Han Li's question and said stutteringly.

"Hmph, how did I instruct you before? The matter of the Hidden Thunder Root is no small matter, it concerns your life, so you must be careful not to leak it. In the end, you were able to say it yourself because of drunkenness. Hehe, if I hadn't returned in time, wouldn't you have brought disaster upon yourself, and perhaps even directly implicated your Senior Brother's entire clan?" Han Li's face sank, and his voice turned cold.

"Disciple knows I was wrong, I will definitely not do it again in the future." Hai Dashao was startled and hurriedly knelt down again to reply.

"With my Great Ascension status, the Holy Island envoys this time were easily dismissed by me. But your Hidden Thunder Root is one of the few means that can weaken the Heavenly Tribulation. If next time, other powerful Great Ascension existences from other alien races come to demand it, how do you expect me to deal with it?" Han Li's voice remained cold, staring at Hai Dashao word by word.

"Disciple really knows I was wrong. If that day really comes, Master can just hand Yue Tian over. This is all the result of disciple's own evil consequences." Hai Dashao's face turned pale, but he still didn't dare to raise his head and replied.

"Handing you over? That's not even worth thinking about. If I hand you over then, where would I put my face? So, after this Great Ascension celebration, you will temporarily hide your name and leave my side for a while. After this matter gradually calms down and no one mentions it, you can return to my side." Han Li pondered for a moment before his eyes flashed and he said slowly.
