Chapter 444: Yuan Yao

"I really didn't expect that in just over a hundred years, Fellow Daoist Yuan would have entered the Core Formation stage. It is truly a joyous and congratulatory matter!" Just as the black-robed beauty was being stared at until she was incomparably annoyed, Han Li withdrew his smile and said seriously.

"What Fellow Daoist Yuan? You have recognized the wrong person; my surname is Ruan." The black-robed woman's shame and annoyance were immediately thrown to the back of her mind the moment Han Li addressed her as "Fellow Daoist Yuan," and she immediately denied it with a panicked expression.

This situation greatly exceeded Han Li's expectations, and he couldn't help but stare at the woman's somewhat flickering beautiful eyes.

At this time, the beautiful woman's face was somewhat pale, and one hand was also placed on the storage bag at her side, her eyes wide open, and the hostility was revealed without doubt.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense!

And all of this stemmed from Han Li's ordinary address of "Fellow Daoist Yuan" just now.

Han Li still wore a smile, but he was truly puzzled in his heart.

As for Fairy Zi Ling, the situation before her greatly exceeded her expectations.

She almost didn't need to consider, naturally leaning half a step toward Han Li, expressing her attitude without doubt.

Whether it was the size of strength or the familiarity between the two sides, Han Li's side was her natural choice.

"It seems there is some misunderstanding here! Fellow Daoist Yuan must not remember me either. After all, when I met you back then, it was only a one-sided encounter. And it was many years ago." Han Li's expression didn't change, and he said slowly.

"A hundred years ago? A one-sided encounter?"

Hearing this, the black-robed beauty's expression eased slightly, but there was still a look of vigilance in her beautiful eyes, and then there was a trace of suspicion.

The atmosphere eased a lot!

However, after the black-robed beauty stared at Han Li for a while, she still said with a face full of suspicion:

"I still find the Fellow Daoist very unfamiliar; I truly cannot remember where I have met you. Could it be that you are deliberately deceiving me?" After saying this, cold light flowed in her eyes, and a trace of hostility was revealed again.

Han Li felt somewhat dumbfounded.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, did you go to the 'Heavenly Capital Street' market on Kui Star Island a hundred years ago?" He stopped going in circles with this woman and asked directly.

"Heavenly Capital Street on Kui Star Island? I did go there a few times. Could it be that you saw me there?" The black-robed woman was stunned, then recalled slightly. After her gaze turned around on Han Li's face, she revealed a thoughtful expression.

At this moment, she seemed to have remembered something.

"That's right, you were with another Fellow Daoist Yan at that time. We happened to meet you and my Uncle-Master Qu outside the market." When mentioning Qu Hun, Han Li glanced at Fairy Zi Ling intentionally or unintentionally. This woman knew that Qu Hun was his clone.

Sure enough, when Fairy Zi Ling heard Han Li call Qu Hun his Uncle-Master, she revealed a smile that was not a smile.

Although she didn't know the situation at that time, she could guess that Han Li must have played a double-act at that time. She couldn't help but find it somewhat funny!

However, she naturally wouldn't speak of this matter for no reason.

And when Qu Hun was mentioned, Fairy Zi Ling had also been strange for a long time. Why didn't Han Li bring this clone by his side? This was a great help!

"After you mentioned this, I seem to feel familiar again. Could it be that you are the other person who was standing at the entrance of Heavenly Capital Street with that Foundation Establishment late-stage Senior Qu?" The black-robed woman blinked her beautiful eyes a few times, then suddenly said with a sudden realization.

Then, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

Han Li smiled bitterly!

"Fellow Daoist Yuan finally remembered. It seems that the impression I gave you at that time was truly average!" Han Li said with a laugh.

Hearing Han Li say this, the black-robed woman's face flushed red, but because she recognized that Han Li was not the person she had thought, she completely relaxed, and said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Don't take offense, Fellow Daoist Han! It's just that at that time, you were truly..." Speaking of this, the woman couldn't continue.

But Han Li intervened with a laugh:

"Is it because my cultivation and appearance were too ordinary, that I truly couldn't enter the eyes of the two girls!" Han Li said this with a calm expression, without the slightest displeasure.

"I have let Fellow Daoist Han see a joke!" Seeing Han Li's attitude, the black-robed woman felt at ease.

After all, Han Li's divine abilities were not small now, and she was also somewhat afraid that the other party would still hold a grudge about the events of that day.

Now that her magic treasure was severely damaged, she was even less willing to offend Han Li easily.

Thinking this, she smiled beautifully and said again.

"I also want to congratulate you! It has been over a hundred years, and you have also cultivated from the Qi Refining stage to the Core Formation stage! Your magic power is also so profound, and you even destroyed a Ghost King-level fierce ghost!"

Hearing this woman's somewhat friendly words, Han Li shook his head in his heart.

What kind of Qi Refining stage to Core Formation stage was that? He was already at the Foundation Establishment stage when he met her. If he hadn't practiced the "Three-Turn Heavy Yuan Technique," it would have been impossible to reach the Core Formation stage at all.

On the contrary, this woman was truly cultivated from the Qi Refining stage to her current realm.

When he recognized this woman's identity at a glance, it truly surprised him!

If this woman's aptitude didn't far exceed ordinary people, she must have had some strange encounter in these hundred years! Otherwise, ordinary cultivators would never be able to cultivate so quickly. Han Li couldn't help but guess secretly.

Just now, although he carefully looked at the other party, as a Core Formation early-stage cultivator, he couldn't see the other party's spiritual root situation, as it was blocked by the magic power in the other party's body.

Han Li smiled slightly, and just as he wanted to say something else, Fairy Zi Ling on the side furrowed her beautiful brows and said:

Thinking this way, Han Li didn't mention the woman's previous strange expression, looked at the ghost mist all around, and said calmly to the two women:

"The two Fellow Daoists, let's get on the road first! This is not a place to stay for long. In case any other powerful ghost objects appear, it will be troublesome."

Hearing this, Han Li agreed with a dumb smile.

The black-robed female Yuan Yao had no opinion.

Immediately, the three of them identified the direction, separated the ghost mist, and left.

This was a place like a garden, where there were not only patches of strange flowers and grasses whose names he didn't know, but also seven or eight exquisitely carved jade pavilions, in which twenty or thirty cultivators were standing or sitting sparsely, seemingly having gone through a fierce battle to arrive here, but at the same time, faces were filled with excitement that couldn't be hidden. Some cultivators even gathered together, whispering something.

Among these cultivators, most of them were either pale or covered in blood, seemingly having gone through a fierce battle to arrive here, but at the same time, their faces were filled with excitement that couldn't be hidden. Some cultivators even gathered together, whispering something.

The Nascent Soul stage cultivators like Extreme Yin Ancestor and Wan Wan Tianming were also here, but they were in two jade pavilions, closing their eyes and resting.

And those two white-clothed elders of the Star Palace, whether intentionally or unintentionally, were sitting cross-legged on an empty space between the two groups, expressionless and silent.

More than a hundred zhang around the garden, it was all rolling pitch-black ghost mist, surrounding this large piece of land tightly, making people feel as if they were in two different worlds.

Suddenly, the ghost mist in one place separated automatically, and a male cultivator walked out unhurriedly.

This male cultivator was young, with a clear and handsome face, wearing a green robe.

The most surprising thing was that there was nothing unusual about him, and his expression was from calm, seemingly not having experienced any struggle at all before arriving here.

This strange situation immediately caused the astonishment of the nearby cultivators, and their gazes toward this person also carried some complicated meanings.

At this time, Extreme Yin Ancestor opened his closed eyes, but after glancing at this male cultivator, a look of disappointment flashed by, and he closed his eyelids again.

He didn't take this male cultivator to heart at all!

And that young cultivator, upon seeing Extreme Yin Ancestor, a trace of resentment flashed across his clear face inadvertently, but he quickly returned to his normal expression and walked in with large strides.

He didn't enter the pavilion to sit with others, but found a remote corner alone, stood there with his hands behind his back, and looked at other cultivators coldly.

Not seeing Han Li's figure, the young cultivator's clear face furrowed his brows slightly, but immediately became expressionless.

However, just at this moment, without others knowing, a thick male voice suddenly came into the young cultivator's mind.

"How is it? Is your helper not here? Could it be that he was swallowed by other fierce ghosts? Hehe! It seems the person you found is not very good either?" The voice said lazily.

"Shut up! Don't speak casually in my body; you must know that there are a bunch of Nascent Soul stage cultivators here. In case one or two have super-strong spiritual sense, if you make a sound, you might be sensed?" The young cultivator felt annoyed in his heart, and said sternly with spiritual sense without any politeness.
