Chapter 2417: Ming Zun's Proposal
"Is that so? But do you know the latest news about this demon on the Thunder Roar Continent, Fellow Daoist Han?" Ming Zun nodded and said abruptly.
"Thunder Roar Continent? Could it be that he has done something shocking again?" Han Li asked with a start.
"More than shocking, the sensation caused this time is even greater than when he was in the Blood Sky," Ming Zun said gloomily, then flicked his wrist and threw the jade slip in his hand directly over.
Han Li summoned it with one hand, grabbed the jade slip, stuck it to his forehead without hesitation, and swept his spiritual sense into it.
As a result, after only a moment, he moved the jade slip away with an ugly expression and slowly said to the person opposite him:
"I never imagined that this ferocious demon would actually provoke the Horned Chi race, kill four Great Ascensions of this race, and fight a battle with three ancient True Spirits. However, what is this about him going missing?"
"It's very simple. After the battle with the three ancient True Spirits, this person suddenly went missing on the Thunder Roar Continent, and no one could find his whereabouts again," the old man said slowly, his worried expression not decreasing in the slightest.
"How is that? Did your alliance discover something else?" Han Li was the kind of person who could see the strangeness in the other party's expression in the blink of an eye, so he asked directly.
"Fellow Daoist truly has eyes like torches! That's right, just after the battle ended, our alliance also had people mixed in to check the place where the ferocious demon went missing, and as a result, they discovered a trace of very faint spatial fluctuation, and there were also traces of the void nearby being broken by someone. But unfortunately, even if our alliance members used various methods, they couldn't continue to track him," Ming Zun said.
"In that case, this ferocious demon really hasn't fallen, he just used the power of space to hide temporarily," Han Li's expression also changed slightly.
"That's right, I'm afraid that's mostly the case," the old man replied slowly.
"Then what is Brother Ming worried about, and why did you summon me to talk about this?" Han Li pondered for a moment and asked back.
"Brother Han, you are asking what you already know. Since that ferocious demon could appear in the Blood Sky and Thunder Roar successively, it wouldn't be strange for him to come to our Wind Origin Continent. Fellow Daoist Han, as a Great Ascension of the human race and also the top existence on the Blood Sky Continent, can you really ignore this peerless ferocious demon? Aren't you afraid that he will suddenly find your race and perform a blood sacrifice? With a super-large race like the Horned Chi race now suffering heavy losses, if the small and medium-sized groups on our Wind Origin Continent are targeted by him, there will truly be a danger of the race being exterminated," Ming Zun said with a sudden smile.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist, these words are a bit strange. With so many races on the entire Wind Origin Continent, how could he happen to find our human race, a weak race? Han feels that those large races are probably more eye-catching," Han Li said with a chuckle, noncommittally.
"Our alliance has long analyzed some of the characteristics of the targets of this demon's blood sacrifices and found that he seems to have no clear goals; he just blood-sacrifices any place where living beings gather in large numbers. Although your race's reputation wasn't prominent before, that was only because of the lack of top-tier Great Ascensions. In terms of the true number of clansmen and the density of population gathering, it is enough to rank among the forefront of the continent. Brother Han, are you really sure that madman won't find your race?" the red-haired old man said lightly.
"Is Brother Ming threatening Han?" Han Li's pupils shrank, and there was no expression on his face.
"I have absolutely no such intention, I am just telling you the facts. And come to think of it, this ferocious demon seems to have some connection with you, Fellow Daoist, and the probability of him finding the human race is definitely not as low as you imagine," Ming Zun had a strange look on his face again.
"What does this mean?" Han Li was truly slightly startled.
"I have portraits of two people here, do you recognize them, Fellow Daoist Han?"
As Ming Zun said this, he flipped his hand, and another jade slip appeared. After grabbing it with five fingers and waving it a few times, a piece of misty rosy light rolled out from within.
In the rosy light, there were images of a man and a woman hanging there.
"This is..."
Han Li narrowed his eyes, his expression somewhat surprised.
"It seems you really recognize these two, Fellow Daoist. I wonder if you can tell me a bit about their origins," Ming Zun said, not feeling surprised at all upon seeing this.
"I should say I only recognize one of them. This woman is named Ice Phoenix. Although she is not of the human race, she has some connection with me personally. How is it? Does this matter have anything to do with her? Who is this man?" Han Li said, shaking his head after gazing at the portrait for a moment.
"As for the origin of that man, I don't know too much either. I only know that he should also be a person from the Wind Origin Continent, and our alliance found that when he revealed his main body in a fight with others, he was a giant centipede with six wings, and his strength was not weak among the Great Ascensions. He and Ice Phoenix seem to have severely provoked that ferocious demon, and were actually chased by him all the way from the Blood Sky to the Thunder Roar Continent. I even suspect that the reason the ferocious demon found the Horned Chi race was because the two of them used some means," Ming Zun said with a solemn expression.
"Six-winged centipede? Being chased by that ferocious demon?" Even though Han Li was always calm, he couldn't hide a trace of surprise on his face.
"Why, have you finally remembered something about this person, Fellow Daoist!" Ming Zun asked, his eyes flashing.
"If I am not mistaken, this man seems to be an old acquaintance of mine, but I didn't expect him to become like this," Han Li said, looking at the portrait and pondering.
"So these two are both your old acquaintances, Fellow Daoist. In that case, the human race is probably really in great danger. If that madman finds out the origin of these two, I'm afraid he will really run to your race," Ming Zun said slowly.
"These words are a bit exaggerated, but I seem to really be unable to stay out of it. But I wonder where these two are now? Are they still on the Thunder Roar Continent?" Han Li asked, frowning.
"According to our alliance's investigation, these two seem to have lost their traces almost one after another with that ferocious demon. Since you know these two, Fellow Daoist, where do you think they would go?" Ming Zun asked, looking at Han Li.
"That's hard to say. Although I know them, I haven't seen them for many years," Han Li shook his head and said calmly.
"Would they return to the Wind Origin to find you, Fellow Daoist?" Ming Zun asked persistently.
"It is indeed not excluded that this is possible. If that's really the case, I'll really have a headache. Speaking of which, I want to ask Brother Ming a question: what do you think is the possibility that this ferocious demon is an immortal from the Immortal Realm?" Han Li sighed and suddenly asked back.
"In my judgment, there is a ninety-nine percent possibility," Ming Zun's expression changed slightly, but after pondering, he still replied truthfully.
"Why is Fellow Daoist so sure?" Han Li touched his chin and asked solemnly.
"It's very simple, because the several divine abilities this person displayed are indeed immortal secret techniques and cultivation techniques. I can guarantee this point, because my ancestor was a direct descendant of an immortal. Although some immortal cultivation techniques and secret techniques were not passed down, some descriptions and specific explanations were indeed left behind," Ming Zun replied with a bitter smile.
"So that's how it is. In that case, this person is indeed a True Immortal. This is really not good news! However, you summoned me and said so much, Fellow Daoist, you don't really want Han to deal with this Immortal Realm person alone, do you?" Han Li asked noncommittally.
"Fellow Daoist Han is joking, how could I have such an idea? For the sake of the entire Wind Origin Continent, I just have a proposal for everyone to advance and retreat together. Our realms have long lost contact with the Immortal Realm for I don't know how many years. Now that such a powerful immortal has suddenly descended, I don't know what his true purpose is. If he really runs to our continent and starts a killing spree, we top powerhouses must concentrate together to force him to leave with absolute strength, or suppress him completely. Otherwise, if we scatter, we will only be killed by the other party step by step," Ming Zun said with a flash of sternness on his face.
"Joining forces together? It seems that the blood-path sects of the Blood Sky Continent seem to have done this kind of thing once, and it was still broken by the other party with absolute strength," Han Li's expression shifted, but he asked slowly.
"Those people in the Blood Sky underestimated the other party too much. Before figuring out the other party's origin, they only gathered more than ten Great Ascensions, among whom there were only three or four true powerhouses; failure was naturally inevitable. The joint effort I propose this time is the joint effort of the top powerhouses in the entire Blood Sky, plus our alliance will also summon some powerful True Spirits to participate in the battle, which will definitely be a success. Even if an immortal is powerful, under the circumstance that most of his strength is sealed, there is absolutely no possibility of confronting the strength of us joining forces," Ming Zun said proudly.
"Can you really invite so many people at the same time, Fellow Daoist? Besides Han, how many people have agreed to this matter?" Han Li was truly a bit surprised.
"Brother Han, rest assured. Besides you, Fellow Daoist, more than half of the fellow daoists have clearly indicated that as long as this True Immortal truly steps onto the Wind Origin Continent, they are willing to participate in this joint effort. I believe that as long as the remaining fellow daoists are contacted, they will not refuse under the circumstances of mutual interest. After all, no one wants such an immortal to act recklessly on this continent," Ming Zun replied without hesitation.
"Since Brother Ming has considered everything comprehensively, Han can temporarily agree. But if your alliance cannot find enough powerhouses by then, even if I arrive, I will turn around and leave immediately," Han Li nodded slowly after pondering for a good while with a fluctuating expression.
"Haha, Brother Han, rest assured. If we really can't gather enough people, I won't send myself to death in vain. Keep this communication talisman, Fellow Daoist. As long as there is news of that True Immortal, I will immediately transmit it to you fellow daoists, and arrange for you fellow daoists to gather together as soon as possible," Ming Zun laughed, exceptionally happy.
Then he raised his hand, and a pale silver talisman shot out from within.
Han Li nodded, rolled his sleeve, and silently collected the talisman into his sleeve.
