Chapter 313: Meeting

Han Li's words made Zhong Zhong Weiniang beam with joy, and she kept praising Han Li, while Liu Jing also revealed a look of relief.

As for Song Meng, he stepped forward and patted Han Li on the shoulder twice, grinning and saying:

"I really didn't misjudge you. If you really didn't want to go, I, Song, would have broken off relations with you, but I knew Junior Martial Brother Han was a person with guts!"

After saying this, Song Meng also glared coldly at Wu Xuan. It seems that Wu Xuan's popularity among the fellow disciples really wasn't very good!

Wu Xuan snorted at this and said:

"Since that's the case, I'll find another place to settle down and won't disturb your big event. I will report everything here to Master; I hope Master won't blame you!" After saying this, Wu Xuan walked out of the room with a blank expression and flew away from the Qin Mansion directly using his magic tool.

"Sixth Senior Martial Brother is really unreasonable, actually retreating before the battle. It's a pity he's still a Senior Martial Brother!" Zhong Zhong Weiniang said with extreme dissatisfaction.

"Forget it, people have their own aspirations; we can't force them! Let's arrange the plan as soon as possible. The sooner we act, the safer it will be. After all, no one knows if the Ghost Spirit Sect Master will come out of seclusion early." Liu Jing said solemnly.

"Senior Martial Brother has such rich experience in exterminating Demon Dao scum, so you arrange it! Whatever you say, we'll do. Anyway, when the time comes, I'll just be responsible for the fighting!" Song Meng said with an excited look.

"Junior Martial Brother Song, you!"

Liu Jing was speechless, unable to laugh or cry, looking as if he had no way to deal with Song Meng.

Zhong Zhong Weiniang's eyes narrowed into crescents, and she smiled sweetly.

As for Han Li, he smiled without a word.

"Seventh Junior Martial Sister, you are more familiar with Junior Martial Sister Chen under Senior Martial Brother Hui Ming. She is in Nanwu City this time. You should go and request assistance! That way, it will be easier to speak." After Liu Jing returned to normal, he said calmly to Zhong Zhong Weiniang.

"Is Junior Martial Sister Chen there too? I haven't seen her for a while. But I have a good friendship with her; there won't be any problem with the aid." Zhong Zhong Weiniang said confidently after hearing this.

When Han Li heard the words "Junior Martial Sister Chen," he was stunned and thought suspiciously:

"It can't be such a coincidence! Could it be that one?"

Just as Han Li was suspicious, Liu Jing's words to him reached his ears.

"Junior Martial Brother Han, we are afraid we will have to stay in the Qin Mansion for a while, so we need you to communicate with the Qin family and arrange accommodation and a place for us to practice in seclusion." This Third Senior Martial Brother said calmly.

Han Li naturally agreed readily.

"Then what am I doing?" Song Meng couldn't help asking, looking quite impatient.

"You just stay in the Qin Mansion to guard against a sudden attack by the Ghost Spirit Sect. I need to go to the streets sometimes to see if there is any movement from the Ghost Spirit Sect. Junior Martial Brother Han has already met them, so it's not convenient for him to show his face again." Liu Jing said indifferently.

"Understood!" Upon hearing this, Song Meng became listless and replied dejectedly.

The following days remained extremely calm.

Except for Zhong Zhong Weiniang who went to Nanwu City early to seek reinforcements, the others generally stayed in the Qin Mansion to practice Qi. And Third Senior Martial Brother Liu Jing really went out a few times as he said, but didn't get any useful information. It seemed that all the Ghost Spirit Sect disciples had retreated and hidden.

As for Wu Xuan, he stayed in an inn in Yuejing. It is said that he sent a letter to Li Li Huayuan, but no one knew what was written in it. However, afterwards, he wandered around the bustling and prosperous places of Yuejing freely, without any intention of returning to the Qin Mansion.

Nanwu City was not far from Yuejing. Senior Martial Sister Zhong left for only three days before returning with three men and two women.

One of the women, who was extremely cold and beautiful, was indeed the "Junior Martial Sister Chen" Han Li knew—Chen Chen Qiaoqian, which made Han Li feel somewhat uneasy.

Chen Chen Qiaoqian also revealed a look of surprise when she saw Han Li, but didn't say anything.

Han Li wasn't a stranger to her, even though the two hadn't said a word to each other.

The other three men and one woman were Chen Chen Qiaoqian's fellow disciples, two at the Foundation Establishment mid-stage and two at the early-stage. And as soon as they saw Liu Jing, they all appeared extremely enthusiastic; it seemed they were all acquaintances.

Zhong Zhong Weiniang introduced Han Li, her newly arrived Junior Martial Brother, to these people. As a result, after hearing Han Li's name, everyone except Chen Chen Qiaoqian revealed looks of surprise.

"So you are Junior Martial Brother Han, really not very old! However, we have long heard of Junior Martial Brother Han's great name. You killed more than a dozen Demon Dao Foundation Establishment cultivators alone at the border confrontation; that's really incredible!" Another Senior Martial Sister of Chen Chen Qiaoqian said with a sweet smile.

This beautiful woman in her late twenties seemed to admire Han Li very much.

As soon as this sentence came out, Liu Jing and Zhong Zhong Weiniang were greatly shocked.

The two of them had other tasks outside before and had never participated in the second great battle between the Seven Sects and the Demon Dao, so they naturally knew nothing about Han Li's "great achievements."

Now, hearing these familiar people say so, they felt deeply shocked!

You must know that this Third Senior Martial Brother, although he had killed countless Demon Dao scum, had only killed two or three Foundation Establishment cultivators, and each time it was after a bitter battle.

But Han Li actually had the "great achievement" of killing more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators. This made the two of them, in their shock, couldn't help but re-examine this inconspicuous Junior Martial Brother Han, looking at him with new eyes.

"Fourth Senior Martial Brother, we didn't know about Junior Martial Brother Han's affairs, but you should know it clearly. Why didn't you tell me?" Zhong Zhong Weiniang suddenly remembered something after her shock and immediately scolded Song Meng, who was secretly chuckling on the side, loudly. She seemed to be coming to settle the score!

"Junior Martial Sister, you didn't ask about this. You just kept asking about Junior Martial Brother Han's cultivation technique and cultivation level. I thought you already knew." Song Meng said triumphantly.

He had long wanted to see the look of surprise on these two fellow disciples when they learned about this, and now it really opened his eyes.

How could Zhong Zhong Weiniang not hear such perfunctory words? She glared at the other person fiercely, and just as she was about to refuse to let it go, Liu Jing laughed and said:

"Good, I didn't expect Junior Martial Brother Han to be so capable! In this way, we have a few more points of certainty in dealing with that Ghost Spirit Sect Master."

When he said this, his face was full of joy. But Han Li felt a chill on his back and was extremely uneasy, thinking secretly:

"This Third Senior Martial Brother, he wouldn't want me to fight the Ghost Spirit Sect Master alone, would he?"

Once such a ridiculous thought appeared, Han Li mocked himself and threw it to the back of his mind.

Next, Han Li and the others held a welcoming banquet for Junior Martial Sister Chen and the others. Although their cultivation had reached this level, they could practice Grain Grain Grain Grain Bigu (abstaining from grain) for a long time without eating, but since they had arrived in the mortal world, they naturally had to follow the customs and enjoy a meal to satisfy their appetite.

After the meal, Han Li asked the servants of the Qin Mansion to clear the banquet, and everyone began to discuss dealing with the Ghost Spirit Sect and breaking into the Imperial City.

Liu Jing immediately stated that he was willing to bear the consequences of violating the Seven Sects' ban alone, so Chen Chen Qiaoqian and the others put aside their scruples and agreed to go together.

Because according to the information obtained from Han Li, in the current Imperial Palace, apart from the so-called four Blood Servants, other experts like Altar Masters should still be presiding over sect affairs in various parts of the Yue Kingdom, and the probability of them all appearing in the Imperial Palace at the same time should be extremely small.

So Liu Jing believed that with their current manpower, they were more than enough to deal with the Ghost Spirit Sect people, and they should act early with thunderous means to avoid long nights and many dreams.

The others felt it made sense, so they prepared to let Junior Martial Sister Chen and the others rest for a day, and wait until the second night when the mortals in the Imperial City were fast asleep before sneaking into the Imperial Palace to eliminate the evil.

Han Li watched the others getting more and more excited from the side with a smile, but couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

These people really thought the Ghost Spirit Sect people were made of mud and were so easy to deal with!

After the battle ends, who knows how many of the people talking here will still be alive!

If it weren't for learning a secret from that little Prince's mouth that might be of great use to his future Core Formation, he wouldn't have taken such a strange risk to break into the Imperial Palace. What does other people's blood sacrifice cultivation or evil techniques have to do with him? The families and friends of these victims will naturally come to take revenge. He only needs to leak this news slightly.

Regarding things like punishing evil and promoting good or upholding justice, Han Li had always believed that one should act according to one's ability.

If there was no risk and it didn't take much effort, he would be happy to do it along the way. But if the opponent was too strong and it had nothing to do with him, he wouldn't think that risking his own life to mind other people's business was a wise move!

Although that Sixth Senior Martial Brother Wu Xuan looked very annoying, it couldn't be denied that his practice of staying out of this matter early on was indeed a way to protect himself. Otherwise, after a burst of hot-blooded passion, he would have to face the risk of his soul flying away and scattering.

This time, Han Li bit the bullet and agreed to break into the Ghost Spirit Sect's lair with these people, which violated his principle of self-preservation. But Han Li thought this risk was worth taking.

Because Han Li's own spiritual roots were really too poor, he wouldn't easily let go of anything that could increase the chance of Core Formation even a little bit. Moreover, he still had some certainty of retreating unscathed.

For this reason, he even specially prepared a trump card to ensure that he would be safe on this trip. Otherwise, with Han Li's cautiousness, how could he have agreed to this matter for no reason!
