Chapter 336: Dark Hand, Qu Hun

"I don't want the Spirit Beast Mountain people to know about what happened tonight. You father and son are not people with loose lips, right!" Han Li suddenly looked up and said coldly to the Five Elements Sect Master.

The old man felt a chill in his heart, then showed a look of extreme humility, saying repeatedly that he wouldn't dare.

Han Li stared at the other party without a word, until the other party showed cold sweat, before he smiled and shook his body, disappearing without a trace.

The old man was shocked, then felt a hand pat his shoulder, and his body stiffened, slowly turning his head.

Sure enough, Han Li was standing behind him with a calm expression.

"Does the Immortal Master have any other orders? The little old man will definitely follow them." The Five Elements Sect Master said with a forced smile, feeling uneasy.

"Nothing, just wanted to say hello to you!" Han Li said with his usual expression.

"Say hello?"

The old man was stunned, not quite understanding Han Li's intention. But then he remembered something and hurriedly changed his face in shock, checking his body, but there was no abnormality, which made him feel relieved.

And at this time, Han Li, no longer speaking, released the Divine Wind Boat, then flashed and stood on the magic treasure.

After looking deeply at the old man and the young man, Han Li sneered and turned into a white light, flying into the sky.

He left behind the confused father and son and Mo Mo Yuzhu with a complex expression.

Han Li stood in the wind on the magic treasure, a sneer rising unintentionally on the corner of his mouth.

Just now, although the Five Elements Sect Master said he wouldn't let the Spirit Beast Mountain people know about his visit tonight, Han Li saw a trace of insincerity in his expression.

Since that was the case, Han Li naturally wouldn't leave such a scheming guy to hate him in the dark, even if the other party was a mortal.

Thus, the palm he had secretly patted on his back just now had secretly done something, hitting a "Heart-Piercing Insect" into his body.

This insect was very strange, its body as thin as a hair, almost invisible to the naked eye, relying entirely on spiritual sense to sense its existence. But as long as it entered the human body from the skin, this thing would stick to the blood vessels and slowly crawl toward the person's heart.

After a year or two, the person would gradually develop heart pain and insomnia, and the symptoms would become more and more serious. If it dragged on for a few more months, the person would die of heart pain, looking no different from dying of normal myocardial infarction. Even if high-level cultivators who didn't know the situation came to check, they wouldn't see any abnormality.

After such a long time, they naturally wouldn't link his death to Han Li's palm tonight, and he could easily distance himself from the relationship.

This kind of strange insect used to harm people was obtained by Han Li from a demonic disciple he had killed. At first, he didn't know what it was, but later he had someone identify it and learned its origin and purpose. It was just right to use it on the Five Elements Sect Master.

In this way, he didn't have to be a villain in front of Mo Mo Yuzhu, and it could be considered as fulfilling his promise to Mo Mo Fengwu in disguise. Han Li thought proudly in his heart.

And before this, even if the other party really told the Spirit Beast Mountain people about what happened tonight, Han Li wouldn't care.

After all, he hadn't harmed the father and son at all tonight, so he estimated the Spirit Beast Mountain people wouldn't come to trouble him for such a small matter. As for the remaining son of the Five Elements Sect Master, he looked like a decent person, and he hoped Mo Mo Yuzhu and he would be together well in the future.

Han Li thought this, and stepped on the Divine Wind Boat, flying straight to the west of Jiayuan City.

He still had to seize the time to solve Qu Hun's abnormality. Although he didn't know what had happened to Qu Hun, he absolutely couldn't leave him alone like this.

A hundred miles west of Jiayuan City was a large area of high mountains and dense forests. It was said that there were poisonous snakes and fierce beasts in the mountains, so few people came in and out, which was probably the reason why the mutated Qu Hun ran to this place.

Han Li stood in the high sky, looking at the dark mountains below, without a word.

A moment later, he reached into his storage bag, and the "Soul-Drawing Bell" appeared in his hand.

Han Li held it flat on his palm and then slowly injected spiritual power into it. After a short while, the Soul-Summoning Bell emitted a faint white light and floated up out of thin air.

"Go!"

Han Li formed a spell with his other hand, threw it into the small bell, and spat out lightly.

Thus, the Soul-Drawing Bell trembled and let out a clear sound, flying rapidly in a certain direction.

Seeing this, Han Li showed a faint smile and followed closely behind on the Divine Wind Boat.

Relying on a trace of Qu Hun's essence blood mixed in when the bell was refined, he could very easily find Qu Hun's hiding place with this bell. Of course, this bell couldn't be too far from Qu Hun. If it were a thousand miles away, Han Li would just stare and be helpless. But now, looking at the bell's reaction, Qu Hun was truly hiding nearby, which naturally made Han Li happy.

The small bell flew straight for twenty or thirty miles, then suddenly descended diagonally. Seeing this, Han Li knew he had found the target, so he increased his speed, grabbed the small bell into his hand, and suddenly a layer of green light appeared, completely covering the white light of the small bell.

Han Li had already learned from Sun Ergou's words that the mutated Qu Hun could sense the existence of the Soul-Drawing Bell, so he naturally had to cover up the bell's aura to prevent scaring the other party away.

Landing on this small hill without a sound, Han Li began to look around.

Although the night was very dark, Han Li, as a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, could still see some things vaguely, so he ran straight to the location where the bell had originally landed, a large pile of "messy" stones on the mountaintop.

Han Li walked without a sound, as ghostly and strange as a ghost. Therefore, when he finally saw Qu Hun, Qu Hun was still unaware, sitting on a huge rock, crossing his legs and meditating, looking like he was closing his eyes and practicing Qi.

Han Li, hiding behind a mountain stone and secretly observing Qu Hun, was extremely surprised.

Because he sensed the existence of spiritual energy on Qu Hun, which was clearly the spiritual energy fluctuation that only someone at the fifth or sixth layer of Qi Refining could have. How could this not make Han Li extremely stunned.

Han Li remembered very clearly that Zhang Tie couldn't practice the "Chang Chun Gong" at all back then, so he shouldn't have spiritual roots.

"Wait! Not being able to practice Chang Chun Gong doesn't mean Zhang Tie didn't have spiritual roots; it just means he didn't have wood-attribute spiritual roots. Could it be that Qu Hun actually had spiritual roots of other attributes?" Han Li realized with a start.

"In this way, it's truly a coincidence! Two people with dual spiritual roots, one in ten thousand among mortals, were actually taken in as disciples by that Mo Daifu at the same time."

Han Li was somewhat incredulous, but then thought again:

"In this way, it's truly a pity. Just because of the difference in spiritual root attributes, I and Zhang Tie ended up with completely different results. If the attribute I lacked happened to be the wood attribute, I'm afraid my end..." Han Li thought of this, and felt a few traces of lingering fear in his heart.

"But how could "Qu Hun" practice the basic cultivation technique of spiritual energy? Could it be..."

Han Li seemed to have thought of something, frowned slightly, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, but he still didn't intend to show himself, just looking coldly at the practicing Qu Hun without a word.

After a meal's time, Qu Hun opened his eyes, then slowly stood up and moved his hands and feet.

Seeing his eyes moving nimbly, he actually looked like he had truly regained his consciousness.

But Han Li saw this, not happy at all, but gloomy, his expression faintly revealing some baleful aura.

"Today's progress is not bad! It seems that in three or four months, I won't have to fear those mortals holding magic treasures that restrain this body." Qu Hun seemed very happy, and finally looked up and muttered to himself.

Just as "Qu Hun" was showing joy, a cold voice came from one side.

"It seems that your Excellency is very satisfied with this body!"

"Who?"

Qu Hun's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly looked toward the source of the voice, full of vigilance.

At this time, Han Li turned out from behind the mountain stone without expression, his face full of coldness.

"Who are you?"

"Eh, you are a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!"

As soon as Qu Hun saw Han Li, he first asked in a loud voice, but then he discovered that he could not see through the depth of Han Li's cultivation, and he could not help but show a look of fear on his face.

"This sentence is exactly what I wanted to ask you. Who exactly are you, and why did you occupy this body? You must know that this body belongs to my good friend, and I personally handed it over to my subordinate for safekeeping. You occupied it for so many years without saying a word; shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Han Li said calmly.

"This body is yours?" Qu Hun showed a look of half-belief and half-doubt, and his eyeballs rolled around non-stop at the same time, obviously thinking of some devious plan.

Seeing this, Han Li sneered and suddenly raised his hand, revealing the "Soul-Summoning Bell" wrapped in cyan light.

"What are you doing?" As soon as Qu Hun saw Han Li's action, he was like a startled rabbit, immediately jumping back several zhang, his face full of vigilance.

Although he had sensed the existence of the Soul-Summoning Bell before, he did not know the specific shape of this bell, nor did he know that this small bell was a magic treasure specifically designed to restrain this body. He just subconsciously thought that Han Li had casually taken out a magic treasure and wanted to make a move.
