Chapter 312: Decision
At this moment, Han Li turned his head and said politely to the handsome young man:
"Sixth Senior Martial Brother is here too! It really is a trouble for you to come for my sake."
Wu Xuan gave a faint "Mm" and didn't say anything.
Han Li smiled and didn't show any unusual expression, but he knew very well that ever since the Dong Xuan'er incident, this Sixth Senior Martial Brother hadn't looked at him with much favor.
However, Han Li didn't care much about this person; a true villain was much easier to deal with than a hypocrite.
But he still saw a trace of shock in his eyes!
After all, when Han Li last met him, he was only at the Foundation Establishment early-stage. Now, after such a short time, Han Li had entered the mid-stage. How could this not make Wu Xuan, who was still lingering at the Foundation Establishment early-stage, feel greatly surprised and jealous.
"Senior Martial Brothers, please come in. I'll go brew a pot of good tea first!" Han Li let these four into the room and said with a smile, then wanted to turn and leave.
"What's the rush for tea? Why not talk about what kind of experts the Ghost Spirit Sect has first? I've long wanted to have a real battle with some Foundation Establishment cultivators. It's a pity that when I stayed by Master's side, the old man wouldn't allow me to freely kill Demon Dao cultivators like Eighth Junior Martial Brother. Otherwise, I might have been able to improve my realm in battle just like Junior Martial Brother Han." After Song Meng entered the room and sat down with the others, he couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart and said impatiently.
This Fourth Senior Martial Brother was usually extremely cold to others, but once it involved fighting and killing, he immediately became like a different person, becoming excited and high-spirited.
"Nonsense! Have you ever heard of realm improvement relying on fighting and killing? The most important thing is to rely on one's own cultivation. The reason Junior Martial Brother Han's cultivation has risen so much is also because his usual diligent practice has paid off, allowing him to achieve success naturally." Third Senior Martial Brother Liu Jing couldn't help but pull a long face after hearing Song Meng's words, saying with a slightly reprimanding tone.
Hearing this, Han Li was greatly surprised.
He didn't expect this Third Senior Martial Brother to speak so mercilessly. He thought that with Song Meng's temper, he would jump up and refute immediately.
But what left Han Li dumbfounded was that Song Meng just chuckled foolishly and remained silent.
Just as Han Li was marveling in his heart, this Third Senior Martial Brother suddenly turned his head and said to Han Li with a pleasant countenance:
"We have roughly learned some things from Master this time, but after these days, the information must have changed! I hope Junior Martial Brother Han can tell us in detail."
"Yes, I am also very curious! What kind of people are these evil sect members, to dare to kidnap so many cultivators? Their guts are too big!"
Seventh Senior Martial Sister Zhong Zhong Weiniang didn't look much older than Han Li, with a fair, round face. When she smiled, she had two shallow dimples, which were very endearing.
However, Han Li knew very well in his heart that this Senior Martial Sister Zhong was a genuine cultivation genius. It is said that she successfully established her Foundation at the age of sixteen, and now she is only one step away from the Foundation Establishment mid-stage, and she is deeply loved by Li Li Huayuan and his wife.
While thinking, Han Li sighed and said slowly:
"Senior Martial Sister Zhong might not know, but the Ghost Spirit Sect kidnapping so many people is actually mostly for blood sacrifice to practice cultivation. A few others became accomplices under their coercion. They were originally a group of evil cultivators who couldn't see the light; their guts are naturally extremely big. And after so many years of development, they have quite a few Foundation Establishment experts in their sect, and they are very ruthless."
"Blood sacrifice! Is it that kind of evil technique that absorbs the essence and blood cultivation of other cultivators to improve one's own cultivation?" Wu Xuan stopped keeping a straight face after hearing this and said, moved.
Song Meng and the others also revealed looks of shock.
"Eighth Junior Martial Brother, are you not mistaken! Is it really that kind of bloody cultivation technique?" Liu Jing's elegant face was covered with a layer of baleful aura, faintly revealing a terrifying green light.
Seeing this, Han Li felt a chill in his heart.
He had long heard of this Third Senior Martial Brother. Although his cultivation was not the highest under Li Li Huayuan, he was born with a hatred for evil and was a famous blood-handed baleful star among the younger generation of the Seven Sects. The number of Demon Dao scum who died at his hands was countless. This was probably the reason why a martial fanatic like Song Meng also held him in awe.
"That's right, it is this kind of cultivation technique that has been passed down for many years." Han Li naturally wouldn't hide anything for the Ghost Spirit Sect and nodded affirmatively.
"Junior Martial Brother Han, tell everyone the process." This Senior Martial Brother Liu said solemnly to Han Li.
"The matter is like this: originally, when I went to the Xin Prince's Mansion with the head of the Qin family for a banquet..."
Han Li slowly recounted the events that started from that day at the Xin Prince's Mansion, but he naturally glossed over the parts involving his own secrets.
But what Han Li didn't expect was that this Third Senior Martial Brother was really not easy to fool. He interrupted Han Li's narration several times to ask about unclear details, almost making it impossible for Han Li to hide the truth, and he was really sweating profusely several times from being questioned.
This was the first time Han Li felt that lying was really not an easy job.
When Liu Jing had asked about everything, the other three people on the side had their expressions change slightly.
A small Ghost Spirit Sect actually had four so-called Foundation Establishment Blood Servants, not to mention several Altar Masters with equally good cultivation, and that unfathomable Sect Master. Relying on just them, they really couldn't solve the opponent!
And what was even more troublesome was that the opponent's lair was actually the Imperial Palace of Yuejing, which was a forbidden area for disciples of the Seven Sects!
"Senior Martial Brother Liu, should we ask Master for instructions and then call some people from the sect? Relying on just us, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to capture the Ghost Spirit Sect Master." Wu Xuan hesitated and said with some delay.
Clearly, he didn't want to violate the Seven Sects' ban, nor did he think highly of their side's strength.
"Why, is Sixth Junior Martial Brother a bit timid?" Liu Jing frowned upon hearing Wu Xuan say this, and said with displeasure.
"Of course not. I just think whether doing this would be more secure. Anyway, according to Junior Martial Brother Han's statement, these people won't escape for a while. It's more appropriate to ask for Master's opinion." Wu Xuan naturally didn't want to admit this in front of everyone and hurriedly argued.
"Oh! That's good, then I was overthinking it! But Junior Martial Brother Wu doesn't need to worry about the problem above. When I came, Master specifically instructed me alone that in Nanwu City near Yuejing, several disciples of Senior Martial Brother Hui Ming are dealing with some sect matters. If we encounter difficulties, we can ask them for help. Relying on the friendship between Master and Senior Martial Brother Hui Ming, they will definitely lend a helping hand."
"As for the matter of breaking into the Imperial Palace privately violating the Seven Sects' ban, since we already know that the Imperial Palace has become a place where filth is hidden, how can I, Liu, let it go? Everyone, just follow me and take action. If the people above blame us, I, Liu Jing, will take full responsibility!" Liu Jing said with a frosty face.
The people present looked at each other in dismay, and that Seventh Senior Martial Sister Zhong Zhong Weiniang revealed an infatuated look, clearly having been in love with this Third Senior Martial Brother for a long time!
"Good, since Third Senior Martial Brother has said so, then I, Junior Martial Brother, naturally won't miss this good show and will fight side by side with Senior Martial Brother." Song Meng seemed to be stimulated by Senior Martial Brother Liu's words and said with great spirit.
"I won't leave Senior Martial Brother either; I will definitely break into the Imperial City with Senior Martial Brother!" Zhong Zhong Weiniang also came to her senses and said repeatedly.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jing smiled pleasantly and, after thanking them, turned his head to ask Han Li and Wu Xuan:
"I don't know how the two Junior Martial Brothers plan to do it. If you think this method of Senior Martial Brother is inappropriate and you don't want to participate in this battle, Senior Martial Brother will definitely not force you!"
After the opponent said this, while Han Li was hesitating and weighing the pros and cons, Wu Xuan's face turned red and white for a while before he gritted his teeth and said:
"Unless Master personally allows it, I will not knowingly violate the ban. If Senior Martial Brother really wants to break into the Imperial Palace privately, I will not participate. I must ask Master for instructions first!"
The reason he brought up was indeed very sufficient!
"How could you..." Hearing this, Zhong Zhong Weiniang was filled with indignation and stood up, wanting to say something, but was pulled back by Liu Jing.
"Sixth Junior Martial Brother's words also make sense. Breaking into the Imperial Palace with me is indeed a thankless task. We shouldn't blame him for withdrawing!" This Third Senior Martial Brother said with unusual calmness.
"How does Junior Martial Brother Han think about this? Could it be that you also want to learn from this fellow? You are a Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator; you wouldn't be this timid, would you?" In order to pull Han Li in as a major source of help for her beloved, Zhong Zhong Weiniang did not hesitate to use such a crude method of provocation, which made Han Li roll his eyes inwardly!
Han Li didn't respond to this question immediately and lowered his head to ponder.
That Senior Martial Brother Liu was very considerate and didn't urge Han Li, but sat quietly there waiting for Han Li's decision.
"Good, I'll go! This matter was originally caused by me; it wouldn't be right if I didn't go. And I also really want to see this mysterious Ghost Spirit Sect Master!" After a long while, Han Li raised his head and suddenly smiled lightly.
