Chapter 253: Yan Family Ancestor
Is it a separate action of the Ghost Spirit Sect, and has nothing to do with the demonic path six sects? If so, the seven sects don't need to fear anything! Even the Yan family alone can deal with the people from the Ghost Spirit Sect, after all, the Yan family has Core Formation stage cultivators sitting in town!
After Han Li thought about this, he finally felt relieved.
Even if the sky really falls, there are tall people to support it! What kind of shady business the Ghost Spirit Sect has here, he, a mere Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, has nothing to worry about. It's fine as long as he is careful not to let the city gate catch fire and bring disaster to the fish in the moat.
I don't know if others think the same way, but after the horror, their expressions gradually returned to normal, and no one mentioned this matter again! Instead, they talked about some cultivation insights, which attracted Han Li, and he joined the discussion without hesitation.
Time passed very quickly, the sky gradually darkened, and the few people who were talking until their mouths were dry also reached the time to say goodbye after other cultivators left.
And this exchange of insights with others made everyone benefit a lot! Especially the means and opportunities for several Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivators to break through the bottleneck made Foundation Establishment early-stage cultivators like Han Li feel that the trip was worthwhile.
Thus, the middle-aged cultivator from Spirit Beast Mountain, who was clearly still wanting more, suggested that tomorrow, several people should find a remote place, pull a few more fellow daoists to continue talking for a long time, and hold a small-scale item exchange activity at the same time, wouldn't it be better!
This suggestion was fully agreed by others, and Han Li naturally wouldn't object.
Just like this, after the few people finished discussing, they left one after another.
Han Li walked toward an inn marked on the map, which was specifically responsible for receiving foreign cultivators.
This inn was located in the southeast corner of Yan Ling Castle, small and very inconspicuous, obviously much worse than the others, so there shouldn't be many cultivators living here.
But Han Li was satisfied with this place being quiet and having few people. Because the fewer people, the lower the probability of trouble and accidents. And this place was closer to the city wall, so if there was an accident, it would be convenient for Han Li to run away!
After all, the appearance of those Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators still made Han Li feel faintly uneasy. Making some preparations just in case was also a habit of his caution.
This "Fengyue Inn" was indeed not crowded with cultivators, and all of them were people who didn't like excitement or were somewhat isolated. They all stayed in their own rooms, and no one wandered around in the inn. This made Han Li feel even more satisfied, and he immediately found a relatively clean room to stay in.
As for where Dong Xuan'er lived, Han Li was too lazy to look for it. After all, when the Treasure-Snatching Assembly started, he would definitely be able to see this woman. At that time, just return to Yellow Maple Valley with this woman! Han Li thought so and fell into a deep sleep.
At night, when many cultivators began to enter dreams or sit and practice Qi, in a heavily guarded room of the "Flying Cloud Pavilion", the highest building in Yan Ling Castle and the command center of the entire castle, a red-haired old man with a head of red hair was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, his face expressionless.
And not far in front of him, three gray-clad old men stood with their hands down, looking extremely respectful.
"Zijun, did that Ghost Spirit Sect boy really say he would come to see me tonight?" The red-haired old man finally stopped pacing and looked faintly at one of the old men.
"Yes, Ancestor! The Young Sect Master of the Ghost Spirit Sect did privately transmit this to me after the competition ended!" This person replied respectfully.
"Hmm!" The red-haired old man nodded expressionlessly, but the light in his eyes flashed and disappeared.
Just at this moment, a black-clad middle-aged man suddenly walked in from outside the door, bowed and said:
"Ancestor, three elders, the guest has arrived! He has been settled in the main hall, but the two guards beside him said they would not wait outside the hall, and several Iron Guards wanted to move them away, but were instead restrained by them. They seem to be Core Formation stage cultivators. How to deal with it, please instruct, Ancestor!"
"Core Formation stage cultivators? That's nothing strange! If a dignified Young Sect Master didn't even have a bodyguard, how could the Ghost Spirit Sect Master be at ease letting him come here! Let's go and see them! I'm very curious about what this Young Sect Master looks like under the mask, to be so sneaky." After the red-haired old man finished listening to the black-clad man's report, a hint of anger appeared on his face, saying somewhat unkindly.
Then, he walked out of the room first, and the others naturally followed closely behind.
As soon as he entered the main hall, the red-haired old man saw a young man with a slender figure wearing a silver ghost mask sitting motionless in the guest seat.
Behind him stood two green-robed men, one with layers of wrinkles on his face, full of white hair, looking as old as he could be. The other was a child with white teeth and red lips, tying two small braids.
And in the center of the hall, seven or eight black-clad cultivators were lying down, each with a face full of black energy, in a coma.
"I thought it was who, so it's the famous Li brothers, no wonder you don't take our Yan family in your eyes." The red-haired old man said faintly after seeing these two green-robed men, but his face was still expressionless.
Then, he walked toward the main seat in the hall, lifted his clothes and sat down. Then he patted his palms lightly twice, and immediately several black-clad men walked in from outside the hall, dragging the unconscious people in the hall out without a sound.
"Hehe, I didn't expect our brothers' reputation to be so big, even the Yan family ancestor knows it, tsk tsk! This is truly our brothers' honor! However, this time my brothers are only responsible for protecting the Young Sect Master's safety, the one who is truly in charge is our Young Sect Master! If there is anything, Brother Yan can just discuss it with our Young Sect Master." The child-like person smiled innocently, but a rough voice like a broken gong came out. This made the Yan family people who were on guard around feel surprised and scared.
The red-haired old man heard these two say this, and felt a chill in his heart. To be able to make these two fierce demons say this, this Young Sect Master didn't seem to be a simple character, and his gaze fell on the silver-masked young man.
After he sized him up for a while, he asked faintly:
"You are the Young Sect Master of the Ghost Spirit Sect? Why wear a mask, is there anything shameful?"
"This is wronging the junior. The junior wears a mask actually for other reasons, not because there is anything shameful. If the senior really wants to see, the junior can naturally take off the mask and let the senior take a look." The Ghost Spirit Sect Young Sect Master smiled lightly and said neither humble nor arrogant.
"Hmph, what's good about a man's face? I don't have this intention! It's you Ghost Spirit Sect people who suddenly ran so far to our Yan family to do what? And specifically asked to see me, now I'm here, and you've seen me, so if you have any nonsense, just say it directly. I don't have the patience to deal with you." The Yan family ancestor looked at the Ghost Spirit Sect Young Sect Master coldly, looking like he would fight if he didn't agree.
"Hehe, since Senior Yan said so, the junior won't beat around the bush and just say it directly. My father has a letter for the junior to hand over to Senior, and also sent two words for the junior to say to Senior." The Ghost Spirit Sect Young Sect Master saw the Yan family ancestor treat him like this, but he was still calm and composed. Just this cultivation was extraordinary.
"What letter! I have never met your father, and the Yan family and the Ghost Spirit Sect have no friendship at all, what letter do I need to send to me? And also mysteriously sent two words, are you playing with Yan?" The Yan family elder said, but glanced at the Li brothers intentionally or unintentionally to see if there was any movement.
The Yan family ancestor still found it hard to believe that the person in charge was really this Ghost Spirit Sect Young Sect Master.
The Li brothers naturally saw the Yan family ancestor's suspicion, but after looking at each other and smiling, they had no other actions.
At this time, the Ghost Spirit Sect Young Sect Master had already taken out a jade slip from his body, stood up and walked forward a few steps to hand it over. But the Yan family ancestor sat motionless, without any intention of reaching out to take it, instead glancing at the jade slip and saying extremely coldly:
"The letter can be read later, let's talk about the two words first! After I finish listening, I will decide whether to read the letter!"
The Ghost Spirit Sect Young Sect Master heard this and didn't get angry. Instead, he sighed lightly through the mask, then moved his lips slightly and spat out two words, sending them into the red-haired old man's ears.
Although the others in the Yan family couldn't hear what these two words were, the Yan family ancestor's body moved violently after hearing them, and he stood up from his chair with a "whoosh", his face extremely gloomy!
"Give me the letter, and follow me to the secret room!" The red-haired old man said after a while of uncertain expression.
Thus, in front of many Yan family disciples, the Yan family ancestor took the Ghost Spirit Sect Young Sect Master and entered a secret room with heavy barriers and restrictions.
Others, including the two Core Formation stage cultivators, the Li brothers, stayed outside. And these two didn't show any worry at all. It seemed that they were very confident in the safety of the Ghost Spirit Sect Young Sect Master.
And they waited for a whole night.
