Chapter 2428

Besides Ming Zun, there were unexpectedly three men and two women in the hall.

Of the three men, one was burly, clad in black armor, and looked unusually fierce; one was full of wrinkles, old and frail, leaning on a golden dragon-headed cane.

The last man was a handsome young scholar, looking only twenty years old, but carrying an extremely strange cyan bamboo tube on his back.

The two women were two beautiful matrons with completely different forms. One woman had a face like a full moon, in her thirties, wearing a yellow Daoist robe, unexpectedly a Daoist nun.

The other woman had slightly dark skin, but was covered in pearls and jade, wearing a light green palace dress, her eyes unusually lively.

"Yingangzi, you're late this time. If I remember correctly, you like fighting with strong experts the most and have never fallen behind," the armored man touched his hairless bald head and suddenly laughed loudly at Yingangzi.

"Hehe, I encountered some small trouble on the way and was delayed for a few days, otherwise I would have arrived even earlier than Fellow Daoist Huaying," Yingangzi seemed unusually familiar with the bald man and replied indifferently.

"I have long heard of Brother Yin's Creation Body, but I have met Fellow Daoist Yin several times without the chance to see it. The opponent this time is a True Immortal from the Immortal World; we shouldn't miss it again, right?" the palace-dressed woman also said with a light laugh.

"Madam Wu's natal divine ability is the one that can be called the best in the Spirit Realm. What can my little ability count for?" Yingangzi, facing the palace-dressed woman, didn't dare to be negligent and squeezed a smile onto his face.

As for the other three, although they didn't speak to Yingangzi, they all looked at him with faint smiles, obviously not strangers.

This was no wonder!

Which of these people wasn't a famous powerhouse among the Great Ascension stage, and having lived for unknown tens of thousands of years, they naturally had all had some dealings with each other to varying degrees.

In contrast, they were naturally more interested in Han Li, this new face.

"Brother Ming, who is this fellow Daoist? We haven't seen him much before," the Daoist nun looked at Han Li for a while and finally asked with a smile.

"This is Fellow Daoist Han Li of the human race. Although he has only recently advanced to the Great Ascension stage, I believe none of you have not heard of his name," Ming Zun replied with a smile.

"Han Li? Is he that Great Ascension human who killed the Mother of Myriad Insects in the Demon Realm?" the Daoist nun was somewhat surprised after hearing this.

"Killing that Mother of Myriad Insects was definitely not my own strength alone. The rumors outside are truly somewhat exaggerated," Han Li replied with a faint smile.

The bald man, the palace-dressed woman, and others all showed varying degrees of surprise.

Obviously, the power of that Mother of Myriad Insects was known to some extent by these true strong experts among the Great Ascension stage.

"Tsk tsk, regardless of anything else, that Mother of Myriad Insects was an existence that even immortals couldn't truly subdue. With Fellow Daoist joining this time, we have one more point of certainty," the bald man clicked his tongue in wonder.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you have only recently advanced to the Great Ascension stage, and you probably haven't had much contact with these fellow Daoists before, so let this old man introduce them. This is Fellow Daoist Huaying of the Giant Hand Tribe, whose concealment divine ability can be called the best on the continent. This is Madam Wu of the Guli Tribe, whose natal Zhurong Divine Fire has infinite power, enough to boil seas and melt mountains..." Ming Zun pointed to the bald man, the palace-dressed woman, and others, taking the initiative to introduce them to Han Li one by one.

Although these people usually didn't have much reputation among ordinary cultivators, there was no doubt that they were the true top-tier existences in the Spirit Realm.

"Brother Ming, the one we are dealing with this time is a True Immortal. It won't just be us, right?" As soon as Yingangzi and Han Li sat down separately, he asked Ming Zun directly and frankly.

"Of course not. Besides these fellow Daoists present, Fellow Daoist Leng of the Gold Stone Tribe, the two fellow Daoists Yun Dan and Yue Shu of the Heaven Cicada Tribe, as well as that Xuan Jiuling, will also arrive soon," Ming Zun replied without hesitation.

"Yun Dan and Yue Shu"

"Xuan Jiuling"

Yingangzi and the young scholar who hadn't spoken all along exclaimed at the same time.

Besides Han Li, the other people's expressions also changed slightly, as if they were all very wary of these three people.

"Those two fiends, Yun Dan and Yue Shu, would actually agree to join forces? This is truly rare. Brother Ming, how did you persuade those two siblings?" the young scholar asked with an unusually solemn expression.

"Hmph, Xuan Baling has actually changed his name to Xuan Jiuling. It seems he has killed another True Spirit outside the realm. Although this madman is already close to madness in cultivation, his divine abilities seem to be becoming more and more unfathomable. I am also very curious, how did you persuade him?" Yingangzi also asked with an ugly expression.

"Very simple. For Yun Dan and Yue Shu, I just promised to use the entire alliance's strength to do three things for them afterward. And it just so happens that these two recently have important matters to ask of our alliance. As for Fellow Daoist Xuan Jiuling, I didn't persuade him at all; I just told him that the one we are dealing with this time is a True Immortal existence, and he agreed immediately. Hehe, for him, being able to fight an immortal is the best reward itself," Ming Zun said indifferently.

"So that's how it is. Given that madman's temperament, this is indeed extremely possible," Yingangzi muttered a few times.

And the young scholar's expression changed for a while, and he didn't say anything more in the end.

"I originally invited several other fellow Daoists, but they either couldn't make it in time or had other important matters, so I'm afraid they cannot participate in this joint effort. Otherwise, the certainty of this matter would be even greater," Ming Zun said with a trace of regret.

"Is this Immortal World immortal truly that terrifying! Listening to your tone, with the help of us people, it seems there isn't even ten-tenths certainty. But according to the classics I have read, those immortals who appeared in this realm in ancient times, under the suppression of the interface laws, although stronger than those ancient True Spirits, were not strong enough to fight ten people at once, right?" the old man leaning on the dragon-headed golden cane asked strangely after a light cough.

"How could I not know this? If it were an ordinary immortal, our joint response would naturally be more than enough. But what if this immortal is a true powerhouse among immortals?" Ming Zun replied with a bitter smile.

"A powerhouse among immortals?" the old man was slightly startled.

The others, upon hearing this, couldn't help but look at each other.

"That's right. According to this True Immortal's performance on other continents, I can be certain that he is definitely not the kind of ordinary immortal who appeared in this realm in ancient times, but a top-tier existence among immortals, similar to how we compare to ordinary Great Ascension stage cultivators. After all, he killed over a dozen Great Ascension stage cultivators in the Blood Heaven Continent in one breath, including three fellow Daoists like Bi Ying whose strength was not below ours. We must absolutely not underestimate him," Ming Zun said solemnly.

"I naturally know about Fellow Daoist Bi Ying falling into his hands, and I have also heard some rumors about the three True Spirits of the Thunder Continent joining forces to deal with him. But I heard that this time when this True Immortal appeared on the Fengyuan Continent, there was an extra existence like a servant beside him, and his strength seems not weak. Who is he? Has Fellow Daoist Ming investigated clearly?" Madam Wu Ling's eyes flashed as she asked.

"Madam Wu is indeed unusually well-informed. It is true that this time there was an extra attendant beside that True Immortal. As for his identity, our alliance has already investigated it to be nearly certain. If our alliance's intelligence is correct, he is exactly that Yang Lu, one of the three True Spirits sent out by the Jiao Chi Tribe at that time," Ming Zun frowned and replied slowly.

"What, it's Yang Lu. He wasn't killed by that True Immortal, but instead was subdued by him." Everyone was moved by this.

Han Li touched his chin, also showing a thoughtful expression.

"That's right, it is indeed so. Now, fellow Daoists, you should understand why this old man is so cautious. Therefore, this time, besides you fellow Daoists, I will also invite the four powerful True Spirits our alliance has always worshipped. In addition, I will use two Profound Heaven Treasures to set up the Two Rituals Dust-Extinguishing Great Array to completely cut off his escape route."

"Four True Spirits, two Profound Heaven Treasures! Your alliance is truly making a big move this time," Yingangzi gasped upon hearing this.

The others also showed looks of surprise.

"This is nothing. Our alliance's existence is fundamentally to maintain the stability of the Spirit Realm. Even a True Immortal from the heavens is absolutely not allowed to destroy the balance of this realm. Of course, our alliance has put in such great effort; if we truly succeed in suppressing that immortal afterward, our alliance needs to first choose one-third of the treasures on him, and the rest will be divided equally among everyone. Does anyone have any objections to this?" Ming Zun said indifferently.

As soon as these words were spoken, the palace-dressed woman and others couldn't help but look at each other in silence.

Ming Zun didn't urge them, just sat in the main chair and waited quietly for others' answers.

Seeing this, Han Li smiled faintly and was the first to speak:

"Given your alliance's contribution this time, choosing one-third of the treasures is not too excessive. But I have one more condition: if any immortal secret techniques related to cultivation methods are found on this immortal, I hope everyone can copy a copy for free."

"Hmm, Fellow Daoist Han's proposal is good. I have the same meaning."

"That's right, I have no objections to the previous condition, as long as there is this additional requirement."

Madam Wu Ling, the bald man, and others, upon hearing Han Li's words, all realized and agreed wholeheartedly.

Ming Zun's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, but after a moment of contemplation, he agreed immediately.

As a result, everyone showed satisfied expressions, and the other Great Ascension stage cultivators looked at Han Li with a few traces of kindness.

In the following time, after discussing some specific matters about dealing with that immortal, everyone left the hall after a few hours.

Everyone stayed temporarily in some buildings in the Heaven Beyond Heaven.

Han Li didn't need anyone to accompany him, and alone found a giant stone several hundred zhang in size a bit further away, and moved directly into a pavilion-like building that was still relatively intact on it. 8
