Chapter 2360

"Forget it, regardless of the origin, since a Mahayana stage existence has appeared, it seems that the matter really can't be hidden. It's better to release the wind completely and use their power to take a gamble. This is better than missing the opening time and getting nothing," the masked man's gaze flickered several times before finally making up his mind. He shook his sleeves, and his body twisted and sank directly into the void, vanishing.

At this time, Han Li was already walking on a street, had entered and exited several seemingly large shops, replenished some spare materials, but didn't buy anything else, and went straight to a remote inn-like place, rented a separate small courtyard, and sat down to cultivate without going out again.

Three days later, Han Li returned to the square with a strange look on his face, found Ancestor Hua Shi and Zhu Guo'er who had been waiting there, and brought them back to their residence.

Then Han Li told the two that he had suddenly gained some insight into a certain secret technique, so the ancient altar matter would be put aside for now, and he had to go into seclusion for a period of time, telling the two to cultivate well here and not go out easily.

Ancestor Hua Shi and Zhu Guo'er nodded and agreed upon hearing this.

So for the next month or so, the three of them didn't take a single step out of their residence, all cultivating behind closed doors.

One day, more than a month later, Han Li, who was sitting in meditation in the room, suddenly opened his eyes, seemingly sensing something, and then his expression sank, his body suddenly flared with golden light, and he instantly transformed into a golden rainbow and rushed out of the room...

Almost at the same time, a heaven-shaking "boom" sounded.

A giant ball of light like a scorching sun suddenly burst open above the inn, and the shockwaves passed through, causing buildings to collapse and shatter, and some Blood Heaven people who were affected also burst into blood mist.

Only a few people with higher cultivation and those who had released treasures to protect themselves in time were able to hurriedly rush out of the range of the shockwaves and look toward the high sky in shock and anger.

Ancestor Hua Shi and Zhu Guo'er were naturally among them.

Although due to the flight restriction in the city, everyone could not fly close to see, there was no problem at all in seeing the situation in the sky clearly from this distance.

He saw that where the scorching sun had just burst, two figures were floating in the high sky, facing each other from afar.

One was a young man in a Daoist robe, and the other was an old woman with white hair and a face full of wrinkles, both of them emitting astonishing fluctuations of aura.

Clearly, the commotion just now was caused by the two of them.

"A Mahayana ancestor, it's a Mahayana ancestor, otherwise the flight restriction in Blood Crane City is extremely powerful, and even Body Integration existences cannot fly too high," someone immediately exclaimed.

The survivors below, who were originally full of shock and anger, couldn't help but gasp upon seeing this, looked at each other, and scattered in a rush.

Just kidding, since it was two Mahayana ancestors fighting fiercely, wouldn't they be courting death if they continued to stay here?

As for asking for an explanation, that was something they didn't even dare to think about.

However, the fact that two Mahayana ancestors suddenly appeared in Blood Crane City was enough to shake the entire city.

Ancestor Hua Shi and Zhu Guo'er were slightly surprised not to see Han Li's figure, but they wouldn't worry about anything, just calmly staying where they were.

At this moment, a cold man's voice suddenly came from the high sky:

"Two fellow daoists, what a good method. Fighting so recklessly, do you really not have the Blood Bone Sect in your eyes?"

Faint fluctuations arose.

In the void between the young Daoist and the old woman, a masked man suddenly appeared without a sound.

The mask was unusually pale, imprinted with several pale silver spirit patterns, and apart from revealing a pair of black eyes, no other facial features were visible.

"Xiao Ming, you finally decided to show yourself. I don't know who was hiding and refusing to see the two of us earlier. Hmph, if you don't show yourself, believe it or not, I will tear this city apart," the old woman snorted and rolled her eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, don't blame us. Lady Wanhua and I had no choice but to use this desperate measure. Fortunately, the two of us deliberately controlled the range of the impact and didn't cause much damage to your city," the young Daoist said with a look of apology, giving people a feeling of being like a spring breeze.

"Didn't cause much damage? There are nearly a thousand people living in this area, and only a few dozen were able to escape in time. Most importantly, ever since I, Xiao, have been sitting in this city, no one has dared to fight in the city for hundreds of years. If the two fellow daoists don't give an explanation today, don't think I, Xiao, will let this matter go," the masked man replied coldly.

"Old Monster Xiao, what kind of explanation do you want? It's just a thousand low-level existences dying; what's the big deal? Or is it that Fellow Daoist Xiao has other ideas and wants to test my old woman's divine abilities?" The old woman's eyes flashed with strange light, and a dangerous look appeared on her face.

The young Daoist frowned upon hearing this, but in the end, he didn't say anything more.

"I know the two of you came to Blood Crane City to find me, but if you want to talk about this matter, how about Lady Wanhua and I go to the arena for a while? As long as you can take three moves from me, regardless of victory or defeat, the matter just now will be considered settled," the masked man said indifferently.

"Three moves? No problem, even if it's thirty moves, three hundred moves, I, the old woman, will take them all," the old woman laughed wildly and replied.

"Alright, as long as you agree. In this way, I, Xiao, can be considered to have given an explanation to others. By the way, I forgot to mention one thing. You two are not the first Mahayana fellow daoists to come to Blood Crane City; someone arrived a step earlier than you two," the masked man said, causing the old woman to be shocked.

"Someone arrived earlier than us to find Brother Xiao? Which fellow daoist is so well-informed to have come so quickly?" The young Daoist also changed color and exhaled.

"Fellow Daoist, you have been waiting on the side for quite a while; why don't you come out and meet the few of us?" The masked man ignored the Daoist's words and turned to look at another side of the void.

"Oh, Fellow Daoist, what a good method, to be able to see through my concealment technique. Since that's the case, I will come out and meet you all," a light exclamation came from that direction, and then faint green light flashed, and a plain-looking man in green robes appeared directly, looking at the three with a smile.

"It really is you. Being able to see through your concealment technique is nothing; most of the restrictions in the entire city were set up by me personally, so anyone who wants to use similar divine abilities in front of me will not have much effect," Xiao Ming said with a chuckle after sizing Han Li up twice.

"So Fellow Daoist is also a master of formations; that's no wonder. However, why did Fellow Daoist Xiao call me out?" Han Li nodded, a strange look appearing on his face.

"I admire your state of mind, Fellow Daoist! Knowing that the opening time of that thing is approaching, you didn't come to find me after entering Blood Crane City, and you were able to wait here so quietly for such a long time without even stepping out of the door. If Fellow Daoists Wanhua and Qingping hadn't come, I'm afraid you would have continued to wait. But I didn't expect that the place where Fellow Daoists Qingping and the other chose to fight would happen to be the street where you are staying. Does this count as a coincidence?" Xiao Ming chuckled.

"The Daoist and Lady Wanhua didn't know that another fellow daoist of the same rank was staying on this street; we just scanned it with our spiritual sense beforehand and felt that the population here was the sparsest, so we fought here. This fellow daoist truly has good methods, to be able to suppress your cultivation to the low-level stage, and even I didn't notice any strangeness beforehand. However, your face is very strange, Fellow Daoist; may I ask your name?" The young Daoist also sized Han Li up and down, and after looking at the old woman, he asked with a smile.

"My surname is Han. As for why you feel my face is strange, it is not strange at all; I am not from the Blood Heaven Continent in the first place. This time I am just passing through your land, and I have absolutely no interest in participating in your affairs. However, if I hadn't dodged quickly just now, I'm afraid I would have been in a sorry state. Do you two fellow daoists also want to give me an explanation?" Han Li replied indifferently, then stared at the young Daoist and the other with a sharp gaze.

Xiao Ming was startled by this, but after looking at Qingping Daoist and the other, he smiled slightly, a look of watching a good show flashing in his eyes.

Qingping Daoist frowned, looked at Han Li for a moment, seemingly confirming whether what he said just now came from his heart, before his smile faded and he replied:

"It turns out Fellow Daoist Han is a fellow daoist from another continent. Our actions just now were indeed reckless, but what kind of explanation do you want, Fellow Daoist? Do you also intend to learn from Brother Xiao and want me to take three moves?"

"Three moves are not necessary, just one move from you and Lady Wanhua each," Han Li said expressionlessly.

"One move! Alright, we will take it. I, the old woman, want to see what kind of divine abilities you have, Fellow Daoist from another continent, to dare to be so arrogant," the old woman seemed to have a very fiery temper, and upon hearing this, she immediately agreed with a look of anger.

Qingping Daoist sighed bitterly upon hearing this, but asked Han Li again:

"Is Fellow Daoist Han really just passing through this city, and not here for that legendary 'thing'?"

"I, Han, don't even know what this so-called 'legendary thing' refers to, so how could I be here for it? Fellow daoists, rest assured, I have other important matters to attend to, and as long as it doesn't involve my affairs, I will not cause any obstruction to you all," Han Li said calmly.

Qingping Daoist was overjoyed.

Lady Wanhua's expression also relaxed upon hearing this.

Xiao Ming, on the side, had his gaze flicker slightly, but immediately said calmly:

"Regardless of whether Fellow Daoist Han is here for this matter, as the host of the city, I naturally have to entertain you all properly. After the sparring in the arena in a while, you must all give me face and come to my cave dwelling for a gathering."
