"Since it can be confirmed that the other party is an immortal who has descended to the world, do you know the purpose of the other party coming to the Spirit Realm? You must know that our realms have long lost contact with the Immortal Realm, and the other party descended with an immortal body, not only having to bear the pressure of the interface laws, but also not knowing what price they had to pay to do such a thing. To say that the other party just fell into this realm by accident, I don't quite believe it," the old man said, taking a deep breath.

"I really don't know much about this, and I haven't obtained similar news from the Helian Merchant Alliance. Apart from those fellow daoists who have already fallen and the living beings of various races who have been blood-sacrificed, it seems that no one has been able to come into contact with this immortal, let alone investigate the purpose of the other party's descent," Han Li shook his head and said.

"If I were the person in charge of the alliance, I would definitely spare no cost to investigate this matter," Mo Jianli stroked his beard and chuckled.

"Brother Mo's words make great sense. Good, I will immediately tell Fellow Daoist Ming Zun about this suggestion and let him see if there is any way to do this. However, I don't think the chance is very high," Han Li nodded noncommittally.

"No matter how small the chance is, we must strive for it. As long as we figure out the purpose of the other party's descent, we will mostly be able to grasp the other party's weaknesses, and we can make great use of it whether we fight or negotiate," Mo Jianli said cautiously.

"Besides this matter, what other useful suggestions have you thought of, Brother Mo?" Han Li asked the old man persistently.

"I just heard Brother Han say that you have two acquaintances who have formed a feud with this immortal and were chased by him all the way to the Thunder Roar Continent, and then went missing. Is this also true?" Mo Jianli thought for a while and asked again.

"This was told to me personally by Fellow Daoist Ming Zun, so it's mostly not wrong. These two old acquaintances of mine are not of the human race; one is my close friend, and the other is a friend or foe I can't tell yet," Han Li replied with a light laugh.

"Since that's the case, Brother Han had better find a way to contact these two people. Although I don't know how they formed a feud with this True Immortal, if we can grasp their whereabouts, our race can also grasp a certain initiative," Mo Jianli said slowly.

"Does Brother Mo mean that we need to use them as bait when necessary?" Han Li frowned.

"If that True Immortal really chases them to the Wind Origin Continent, where can the two of them hide? Whether it is to save their lives or to lead this immortal to a certain place, I'm afraid the two of them will have to be bait. That Fellow Daoist Ming Zun of the Helian Merchant Alliance probably has this idea too, which is why he told you this explicitly," Mo Jianli said with a cold laugh.

"Hmm, as for bait, it seems they have already done it once in the Blood Sky. Whether it will still be useful is not certain. We will discuss this matter in detail later. But it is not easy to contact them now. After I return, I will naturally order my sect to do this," Han Li pondered for a good while before nodding and saying.

"It would be best if these two fellow daoists are willing to cooperate with the action. As for the question of whether that True Immortal will fall for it, Brother Han doesn't need to worry. The degree of his unscrupulousness in blood-sacrificing hundreds of millions of living beings can be imagined, or rather, he fundamentally hasn't put us lower-realm cultivators in his eyes. Even if he knows it's a trap, the other party will step into it without caring at all. I hope this True Immortal's purpose doesn't require him to step onto the Wind Origin Continent, otherwise even if you join forces and win, it will mostly cause a bloody storm on the continent, and I don't know how much of a price various races will have to pay. The other party is after all a genuine immortal!" Mo Jianli said with a bitter smile.

"Judging from the unfathomable divine abilities of this True Immortal, schemes and the like are indeed of little use. I hope it won't really develop to that step," Han Li was silent for a moment before sighing in agreement.

"Hmm, Brother Han joining the joint effort is generally not wrong. Otherwise, with the strength of any race on the Wind Origin Continent alone, it would be impossible to deal with this True Immortal. It's a pity that my strength is average among the Great Ascensions, and I can't help much. But rest assured. After you go back, just cultivate with peace of mind and try to improve your strength a little. I will handle everything in the race for you. I will use the fastest time to evacuate those densely populated large cities and let most of the people hide in some remote places. In this way, even if it really affects our human race, we can reduce the losses to the lowest level. In addition, I will re-arrange some powerful restrictions in these large cities to prevent that one-in-a-million thing," Mo Jianli first showed a bit of shame, and then said with a solemn expression.

"Brother Mo's words are indeed the words of experience, just handle everything according to what you said, Fellow Daoist. I won't stay here any longer, I will return to the Qingyuan Palace tomorrow," Han Li pondered for a moment and then agreed happily.

So after the two talked for a full half-hour in the hall, Mo Jianli finally stood up to say goodbye.

Han Li took Nangong Wan and sent this human Great Ascension all the way to the deck, watching him turn into a white rainbow and break through the air again.

"Husband, are you really going to enter seclusion again after you go back?" Nangong Wan waited until the white rainbow on the horizon disappeared without a trace before finally being unable to help asking Han Li.

"I do have this intention. I obtained several profound secret techniques when I went out this time. Although it is impossible to fully comprehend them all in a short time, if I can comprehend them a bit more, they might be of great use by then," Han Li touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

"Hmm, this idea of yours is correct, Husband. It's just that I really didn't expect that just after returning to the race, the entire human race would immediately face such a catastrophe. It's really not an easy thing for cultivators like us to want to go all the way," Nangong Wan's eyes flashed, and there was a trace of melancholy on her beautiful face.

"Wan'er, you think too much. Cultivators like us are originally acting against heaven, and it is normal to have various tribulations, just break through them. Hehe, what's the point of fighting with people, fighting with heaven is the real joy," Han Li laughed loudly upon hearing this, shook his sleeves again, and turned to walk toward the cabin.

Nangong Wan was startled when she saw Han Li like this, but immediately remembered something, a smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her footsteps followed lightly.

The next day, the black giant ship that was originally hovering above Tianyuan City trembled, and then broke through the air with a boom.

Two months later, in the Wuyahai, Yuanhe Island, in front of the Qingyuan Palace, the black giant ship landed slowly.

On the huge square below, the sound was earth-shaking!

Tens of thousands of human and demon cultivators were all prostrating on the bluestone ground, respectfully welcoming the return of their ancestor, Han Li.

A figure flickered on the black giant ship, and Han Li walked down side by side with Nangong Wan, followed by a group of people including Flower Stone Ancestor and Zhu Guo'er.

"Welcome the ancestor back!"

The greeting of more than ten thousand people echoed continuously over the entire square, and everyone had a respectful look on their faces.

Han Li nodded, walked toward the gate of Qingyuan Palace without saying anything, and Nangong Wan beside him didn't show any strange expression, but she was shocked in her heart.

Although she had heard Han Li talk about the foundation he had built in the human race, she never expected it to have such a huge scale and so many disciples.

After all, she felt that her husband had only achieved Great Ascension not long ago, and even with the full support of the race, everything should have just started.

In front of Qingyuan Palace, Hai Dashao, the personal disciple, stood respectfully with his hands tied. As soon as he saw Han Li approaching, he stepped forward and bowed to greet him:

"Disciple pays respects to Master, congratulations to Master for returning to the palace."

"Hmm, this is your mistress Nangong Wan, come and pay respects," Han Li first nodded expressionlessly, and then pointed his finger at the white-clothed girl beside him.

"Yue Tian pays respects to Mistress, Master has finally welcomed Mistress back," Hai Dashao was startled at first, but immediately bowed to Nangong Wan with great joy.

"Get up. You are Gu Yuetian, I have heard your master talk about you long ago, you really look like a talent," Nangong Wan looked Gu Yuetian up and down a few times and said with a light laugh.

"Thank you for the praise, Mistress!" Hai Dashao was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Hmph, he just has a good-looking skin. If he were as diligent as Qilingzi in his usual cultivation, his cultivation wouldn't be so low," Han Li said with a straight face.

"Disciple has already tried my best in usual cultivation, but how can I compare with the cultivation maniac of the eldest senior brother," Hai Dashao withdrew the smile on his face upon hearing this, but still muttered a few words in a voice that could barely be heard.

Nangong Wan couldn't help but smile sweetly upon seeing this.

Although Han Li heard it, he was too lazy to care, glared at this disciple, and walked into the gate with the others.

At this time, the disciples on the square stood up under the leadership of some people and exited the square neatly.

But they naturally had a good discussion about the fact that Qingyuan Palace had an extra mistress.

After Han Li sat on the main seat in the Qingyuan Palace hall, he had the group of Small Spirit Heaven cultivators taken down to be arranged, and then asked Hai Dashao lightly:

"Where is your Silver Moon aunt, why haven't I seen her appear?"

"Reporting to Master, Silver Moon aunt started closed-door cultivation not long after Master went out. Now she should be at a critical moment in her cultivation, so she can't come out to see Master immediately," Hai Dashao stole a glance at Nangong Wan sitting beside Han Li, and replied with a strange expression.

"Oh, Silver Moon sister is still in closed-door cultivation, that's a pity. I wanted to gather with her properly and chat about the many things from the mortal world years ago. But since sister is still in the palace, there will always be a time to meet again, so there's no need to rush. Yuetian, after your Silver Moon aunt comes out of seclusion, you must report it to me immediately," Nangong Wan smiled slightly and ordered.

"Yes, Mistress. Disciple remembers!" Hai Dashao stuck out his tongue, but replied with a straight face, but a pair of eyeballs that kept spinning around exposed a bit of what he was thinking.

Han Li couldn't help but be both angry and amused upon seeing this, rolled his eyes at him, and waved his hand to let him retreat. (To be continued.
