Chapter 453: Temptation
As if seeing Han Li's hostility and the vigilance on his face, the dark cloud that covered the sky began to rotate rapidly, and quickly contracted toward the center, with black energy rolling and demonic energy flourishing. Net
Han Li's heart chilled, and just as he was about to be unable to resist letting the puppets attack first, Xuan Gu's cold voice came to his ears.
"Kid, don't make a move recklessly. He's just giving you a show of force, he doesn't truly have the intent to kill you. Let's see what this rebellious disciple is looking for you for first!"
Xuan Gu's voice transmission made Han Li startle, and he immediately sobered up with a sudden realization.
Afterward, he forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart and asked neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Ancestor Extreme Yin, what instructions do you have for this junior by coming here?"
Han Li's voice was low and calm.
"To be able to remain so calm under my strike, it seems you have great courage." Ancestor Extreme Yin's voice came from the dark cloud in the sky, answering a question with something else, saying words that left Han Li unsure whether it was praise or contempt.
"If a senior with the status of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator truly wanted to destroy this junior, what difference would it make whether my courage is great or small?" Han Li frowned involuntarily, but immediately replied with his normal expression.
Because he knew that Xuan Gu hadn't gone far and was hiding on the side, he felt slightly more at ease.
If he and this old demon who knew the weaknesses of the Profound Yin Technique joined forces, it wasn't impossible to fight the other party. Of course, the premise was that Xuan Gu would truly help when he and Extreme Yin fought. On this point, Han Li had no certainty at all. Therefore, he had no intention of angering the other party in the slightest.
At this moment, the black clouds in the sky finally gathered together.
Then, after flickering a few times, with a "pfft" sound, the clouds vanished, and a middle-aged man and a short, ugly youth appeared in the air. It was precisely Ancestor Extreme Yin and Wu Chou.
"Your name is Han Li, a loose cultivator from Heaven Star City, I'm not wrong, am I!" The middle-aged man looked at Han Li and asked with great interest.
"That's correct, this junior is Han Li. It seems Senior knows very clearly." Han Li revealed a trace of a bitter smile and said somewhat helplessly.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to find trouble. Nor am I here to vent my anger on you because of the Miaoyin Sect matter that day. The attack just now was purely because I felt that formation was somewhat in the way, so I broke it." Ancestor Extreme Yin said with a calm smile.
"What do you mean 'in the way'! Isn't it just wanting to use powerful strength to intimidate me!" Han Li thought to himself, knowing clearly, but asked with a trace of respect:
"Then Senior is here to..."
Although he knew the other party was waiting for him to ask this, Han Li had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask deliberately.
But after hearing Han Li's question, Ancestor Extreme Yin laughed, and his eyes carefully sized up Han Li again, looking until Han Li felt his heart go numb.
"Do you recognize this object?" Ancestor Extreme Yin suddenly flipped one hand, and a small, white, fuzzy thing appeared in his palm, and he said with a straight face.
Then, before Han Li could see clearly what it was, he flicked it lightly, and the object flew straight toward Han Li.
Han Li revealed a trace of suspicion, and when the object flew in front of him, he flicked his sleeve, and the long sleeve immediately rolled the thing into it, then carefully sent it in front of his eyes.
The object was not large, and it was incomplete. But Han Li recognized it at a glance.
It was actually a small section of clean white spider silk sprayed out by the Blood Jade Spider.
Han Li was stunned for a moment, finding it somewhat strange that the other party would have this item. But after his mind turned slightly, he immediately recalled that during the battle at the Yinsha Sect, when he was breaking through the encirclement, he seemed to have used the Blood Jade Spider to deal with the demon corpses blocking the way; the other party must have obtained this item at that time.
What was the other party's intention in asking about this item? Han Li's expression changed slightly, and all kinds of suspicious thoughts surged up in his heart.
However, the other party wouldn't give him time to think carefully, so he had no choice but to answer honestly after pondering slightly:
"This junior naturally recognizes this object; this is the silk web sprayed by my spirit beast. Is Senior here because of this matter?"
Han Li looked suspicious at this moment, appearing as if he still didn't quite believe it.
But when Ancestor Extreme Yin in the sky heard these words, a smile appeared on his face.
"Good, very good! I sought you out this time precisely to see your spirit beast. Release this beast and let this Ancestor take a look!" Ancestor Extreme Yin said with a trace of excitement, his voice actually incomparably gentle.
But Han Li's vigilance rose sharply in his heart!
Because in the other party's smile, he discovered a trace of greed that was well-hidden, although this expression disappeared in a flash.
But for the other party to be a Nascent Soul stage cultivator and reveal such an expression toward his Blood Jade Spider, this was truly not a good omen for him.
Although he felt incomparably uneasy in his heart, facing Ancestor Extreme Yin's gaze, Han Li only hesitated for a moment before having to bite the bullet and say the word "Good."
Better to drag it out for a while! Han Li could only think so depressedly.
Then, he raised his hand and patted lightly on a spirit beast bag at his waist.
A white light shot out from the spirit beast bag and landed in front of Han Li.
After the light faded, a white spider the size of a millstone appeared in front of Han Li, staring ferociously at the surroundings.
Seeing the Blood Jade Spider appear, Ancestor Extreme Yin immediately stared at it with glowing eyes, as if looking at an extremely precious exotic treasure, and the joy on his face grew stronger.
"Great! It really is a Blood Jade Spider. Hahaha..."
After a long while, Ancestor Extreme Yin retracted his gaze, but suddenly looked up and laughed wildly.
It shook the surrounding air with a buzzing sound, making Han Li's expression change.
A Nascent Soul stage cultivator's cultivation was indeed unfathomable!
However, Han Li immediately revealed a solemn expression; he knew that only now would the other party truly enter the main topic.
But before Han Li could wait for Ancestor Extreme Yin to speak, Xuan Gu's anxious voice transmission sounded in his ears.
"How do you have a Blood Jade Spider? Since you have this item, why didn't you tell me at the beginning?" Xuan Gu's voice was filled with regret and shock.
"Why should I tell you if I have this item!" Han Li felt a surge of anger in his heart upon hearing this.
But he immediately calmed down and thought, since even Xuan Gu was moved like this, it seemed that there really was a great secret behind this Blood Jade Spider. He just didn't know if the appearance of this matter was a bane or a boon for him now?
Just as Han Li was secretly pondering, Xuan Gu's somewhat urgent voice transmission sounded again.
"Extreme Yin, this rebellious disciple, will definitely invite you to the inner palace, just go. I will secretly follow and support you." Perhaps noticing that his tone toward Han Li was somewhat inappropriate, Xuan Gu's voice softened a lot, but he still instructed solemnly.
Hearing this, Han Li felt even more uneasy.
He vaguely felt that he had been dragged into a great whirlpool because of this Blood Jade Spider, and if he wasn't careful, he could be smashed to pieces.
Just as Han Li was secretly suspicious, Ancestor Extreme Yin finally spoke, and said the words Xuan Gu had predicted.
"Han Li, do you want to go to the inner palace to take a look? I can safely take you in and out!" Ancestor Extreme Yin said with a pleasant countenance, his words filled with endless temptation.
"Go to the inner palace?" Hearing this, Han Li was greatly startled.
That was an extremely dangerous place for a Core Formation stage cultivator.
Although the preciousness of the treasures inside far exceeded other places in the Void Heaven Palace.
But Han Li had known the details of this place from the beginning and had known his own limitations, never thinking of going in.
Now that he had just obtained the "Nine-Curved Spirit Ginseng," which was very useful for Nascent Soul formation, he naturally didn't want to take this risk for no reason.
As for the other party's words about safely taking him in and out, and Xuan Gu on the side wanting him to agree, he scoffed at them, not believing them and not listening to them.
He only had one life!
Thinking of this, Han Li only pondered slightly before forcing a smile and declining:
"The inner palace is truly too much for this junior to handle. This junior only needs to wander around the first two levels. I won't go to the inner palace! This junior doesn't have such great fortune!"
Hearing this, Ancestor Extreme Yin's face sank, revealing a fierce look.
And Wu Chou, who was beside him, suddenly shouted loudly with an angry look:
"Han Li, my Ancestor doesn't pursue the matter of you offending him that day, and now he is kindly taking you to the inner palace, yet you are still making excuses. Do you look down on our Extreme Yin Island?"
Regarding Wu Chou's words, Ancestor Extreme Yin didn't stop him, only looking on coldly with an unhappy expression.
Han Li fell silent.
Because, Xuan Gu's words urging him to agree sounded in his ears again. But how could Han Li easily submit!
"I won't go! Although I don't know what Island Master Wu wants this junior to do in the inner palace, I'm sure it won't just be for this junior to take a look! With this time, I might as well search for a few more treasures in other safer places." Han Li said with a calm expression.
