Chapter 454: Unexpected Events
"Hmph! Do you think it's up to you whether you go or not? If you don't go, this Young Master will destroy you right now. WM Net Do you really think that with the previous words of the two old fellows from the Star Palace, our Extreme Yin Island wouldn't dare to make a move?" Wu Chou said with a fierce look in his small eyes.
For some reason, although Wu Chou was only playing the villain on the side to pressure Han Li due to Ancestor Extreme Yin's previous instructions, he truly found Han Li unpleasant to the eye in his heart.
This kind of bad feeling was almost innate, without any reason.
Han Li naturally had no good impression of Wu Chou either. Now, after hearing this, he only glanced at him coldly before ignoring him and saying to Ancestor Extreme Yin:
"Although I don't know what Senior needs my spirit beast for, if the master of a spirit beast dies, others cannot subdue the spirit beast that has recognized its master. This point, this junior is very clear about. Moreover, I can order the Blood Jade Spider to self-destruct at a critical moment. I believe Senior wouldn't want to see this scene!"
His words used a tiny bit of a threatening tone, which made the middle-aged man opposite him change his expression slightly, revealing a look of surprise.
Han Li knew very well that Wu Chou was only a fox borrowing a tiger's might! The one who could truly make the decisions here was Ancestor Extreme Yin. Therefore, he had no intention of entangling with Wu Chou at all.
However, this action of Han Li's made Wu Chou furious from embarrassment. After a flash of fierce expression on his face, he opened his mouth to say something unpleasant to Han Li, but was stopped by Ancestor Extreme Yin on the side with a wave of his hand.
"Good, I like juniors with courage. Since this Ancestor wants to borrow your Blood Jade Spider, naturally I won't let you make this trip in vain. When we arrive at the inner palace, I will..."
Just as Ancestor Extreme Yin said this, wanting to promise some conditions, his face suddenly sank, and his voice stopped abruptly.
He slowly turned his head, staring fiercely in a certain direction, his eyes revealing a fierce look.
"Who is eavesdropping there? Get out here!" Ancestor Extreme Yin's voice was somewhat sharp, filled with killing intent; it seemed he was extraordinarily angry.
Han Li was startled in his heart! Subconsciously thinking that Xuan Gu had been discovered. He couldn't help but let his brain turn rapidly, thinking about how he should deal with it if such a scene appeared.
But after an old voice came, Han Li was surprised.
"Brother Wu, why be so angry? This Qing just happened to meet you unintentionally; I don't truly want to make a move, do I?" A piece of green light flickered, and several dozen zhang away in the void, an old man in Confucian robes appeared out of thin air, smiling and looking at Ancestor Extreme Yin and the others.
It was precisely that "Qingyi Qingyi Jushi" who was somewhat familiar with Ancestor Extreme Yin!
"Fellow Daoist Qing, you are tailing Wu!" Seeing it was this person, Ancestor Extreme Yin's killing intent stalled, and then he asked with an extremely ugly expression.
"What kind of tailing is this? This Qing was just wandering around, and seeing Brother Wu and this little brother talking about something from afar, I flew over to say hello. I didn't expect to make you so unhappy. Cough! If I had known, this Qing would absolutely not have been so rash." The old man in Confucian robes chuckled a few times and explained with complete indifference.
Afterward, regardless of Ancestor Extreme Yin, whose face was somewhat pale, he looked at the Blood Jade Spider below, and "tsk-tsked" in wonder.
"So this is the Blood Jade Spider, truly a rare spirit beast. According to the analysis of senior cultivators in the past, this spirit beast seems to be one of the best spirit beasts for taking the Void Heaven Cauldron, with a success rate far above your Fire Python and Wan Wan Tianming's Golden Silk Silkworm." Qingyi Qingyi Jushi said, shaking his head.
Wandering, turning around? Then why hide your presence? Hearing such a thick-skinned reason from the old man, Ancestor Extreme Yin was incomparably annoyed. Seeing him look at the Blood Jade Spider below and speak out the secret he had always wanted to cover up, his expression became even gloomier.
"This must be the junior that Brother Wu has been thinking about. This old man also likes to support young people with courage. How about it, are you interested in joining my sect? This Qing has never taken a disciple before." After the old man in Confucian robes retracted his gaze from the Blood Jade Spider, he turned around Han Li a few times, his eyes moving as he said words that made Extreme Yin's face turn iron-blue and Han Li stunned.
"Take this junior as a disciple?" Han Li blinked, not knowing whether he should be happy or bitter in his heart.
"Fellow Daoist Qing, what is the meaning of this?" Extreme Yin's face was full of cold air, and wisps of black energy surged out, staring at the old man and asking word by word.
"Hehe! Just a joke, why be so nervous, Brother Extreme Yin. If I truly took this little brother as a disciple, I'm afraid you would fight me to the death. However, if Man Man Huzi knew there was a Blood Jade Spider here, I wonder if he would have the same idea?" The old man chuckled, then a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly.
These words from Qingyi Qingyi Jushi made Ancestor Extreme Yin's expression soften slightly. But mentioning Man Man Huzi made him feel a great headache.
According to Ancestor Extreme Yin's original plan, he wanted to hide the Blood Jade Spider, then incite others to drive the righteous cultivators out of the inner palace or simply let both sides suffer heavy losses. Then, he would use the Fire Python to pretend that the treasure-taking failed for others to see. Secretly, he would take Han Li and use the Blood Jade Spider to take the treasure. In this way, he would obtain the Void Heaven Cauldron all by himself.
As for the original promise to give a share to others, it was naturally left behind, without the slightest intention of fulfilling it.
But he never expected that his careful plan would be disrupted by this old fox in front of him.
He had no confidence in killing the other party to silence him. Even if he had confidence, he wouldn't easily make a move.
After all, there were still righteous cultivators like Wan Wan Tianming to deal with, so he couldn't let his side's strength be too weak.
And now that the old man mentioned Man Man Huzi, it made Ancestor Extreme Yin's facial muscles twitch even more.
He had deeply experienced the power of Man Man Huzi's Heaven-Supporting Demonic Technique back then.
Even now that his "Heavenly Corpse Fire" had achieved small success, he didn't have much confidence in contending with this person. If the other party truly used the same excuse to take the kid in front of him into his sect, and then insisted on taking the lion's share when taking the treasure, he would truly have no way to deal with it. Unless...
Ancestor Extreme Yin was quite realistic; seeing that it was impossible to keep the secret of the Blood Jade Spider, he immediately began to think about how not to suffer a big loss in taking the treasure.
At this moment, his heart stirred, and he looked at the old man with a strange expression. He vaguely guessed the intention of the other party saying these words.
Seeing Ancestor Extreme Yin reveal such an expression, the old man in Confucian robes smiled slightly, then his lips moved slightly, and he transmitted his voice.
Ancestor Extreme Yin's expression became uncertain.
"How about it, how is this suggestion?" The old man's voice transmission time was very short, and he quickly asked in normal language.
"Fine, I agree." Ancestor Extreme Yin didn't even ponder, and agreed with a gloomy face.
"Good, that's right. Now, look at the two of us, who is more suitable to take this person into our sect?" The old man revealed a look of satisfaction, then looked at Han Li and said slowly.
"Let him choose for himself who he wants to take as a master! This is also relatively fair." Ancestor Extreme Yin pondered for a moment before saying this.
Hearing this, the old man was startled, revealing a look of surprise, but after pondering slightly, he nodded and agreed.
Seeing this, Ancestor Extreme Yin rarely had a bit of a smile on his face. Afterward, he turned his face, lowered his head, and said lightly to Han Li on the ground:
"You must have heard the conversation between the two of us! Your Blood Jade Spider is an important item for our treasure-taking in the inner palace this time. We will not let it go no matter what."
"As for you thinking that because you are the master of the spirit beast, I wouldn't dare to kill you, that is a big mistake. You must know that this Ancestor has a convenient method for refining spirit corpses. At worst, I will kill the Blood Jade Spider and refine it into a demon corpse. It's just that this method will greatly reduce the Blood Jade Spider's cultivation. I wouldn't do this unless I was forced to. If you are afraid that I will be unfavorable to you after the matter is done, both of us can take you into our sect, and then we will be a family. If we truly obtain the treasure, we will count you in for a share. You are also a smart person, you should know how to choose, right?"
Ancestor Extreme Yin said a lot of half-threatening and half-tempting words without changing his expression. This made Han Li, who had been uneasy since the old man in Confucian robes appeared, change his expression, appearing somewhat moved.
But in his heart, Han Li was secretly crying out in bitterness.
Since this old man in green robes appeared, he knew the situation was even more unfavorable.
Originally, he had held a glimmer of hope, counting on these two old monsters to conflict with each other so he could fish in troubled waters and slip away. But he didn't expect these two to be so old, cunning, and crafty, reaching some kind of agreement in just a few sentences.
Now, even if Xuan Gu were willing to jump out and help, he estimated there would be no chance at all.
And using the Blood Jade Spider to threaten the other party's words, it seemed they were of no use. Even if he truly let the spider self-destruct, he estimated he would be preemptively controlled by the other party. And as long as he had a glimmer of life, he wouldn't anger a Nascent Soul stage cultivator and choose this dead end.
Not agreeing, it seemed it truly wouldn't work.
