Chapter 524: True and False Insect Demon

Not only the Min-surnamed cultivator, but the pigeon-faced old man and the fierce Xuan-surnamed big man also had their hearts in their throats, not knowing if their words would provoke the youth before them.

The opponent might be that Insect Demon himself!

"Interesting. It seems this Insect Demon's notoriety is truly not small. I wonder if you Fellow Daoists know what this Insect Demon looks like, and if the flying insects he drives are the same as mine?" Han Li not only didn't show any intention of getting angry, but instead chuckled.

"What does he look like? That hasn't been mentioned in detail, it seems his appearance is very ordinary. As for the flying insects he drives, it seems they are a type of gold and silver-colored flying insect? Yi, you are using three-colored beetles, it seems you are really not that demon head?" The Min-surnamed cultivator was stuttering at first, but only then did he discover the difference between the opponent and that Insect Demon, and couldn't help but shout in surprise.

The pigeon-faced old man and the big man also remembered this matter as if they had just woken up, and their spirits also lifted.

If the opponent wasn't the Insect Demon, their lives would be a bit more secure.

"Thank you three Fellow Daoists for telling me the truth. I have matters to attend to, so I won't keep you. However, I hope the three of you will speak less of our meeting today to others. Han doesn't want to be truly mistaken for some Insect Demon and be hunted down. I think you Fellow Daoists can understand, right?"

Han Li looked up at the sky, as if considering something. After a moment, he lowered his head and said words that made the hearts of the three, including the pigeon-faced old man, burst with joy.

"Naturally. We will definitely keep our mouths shut. We will never bring trouble to you. Then we brothers will take our leave first." The pigeon-faced old man suppressed his inner excitement and asked tentatively with some anticipation.

Han Li nodded indifferently. The three opposite immediately bowed to Han Li with secret joy and then hurriedly flew away.

After a while, on the other side of the small island, the three, including the pigeon-faced old man, took that team of sect disciples and couldn't wait to fly out of the island, speeding away towards the distant sky.

Han Li didn't know when he had also stood up, watching from where he was without moving, until the escape light of these people disappeared, and his face suddenly sank.

Although taking the lives of this group of cultivators just now would have been as easy as turning over his hand, Han Li had no intention of doing so at all.

He was not a bloodthirsty person!

Moreover, whether his whereabouts here were leaked was a matter of no consequence.

Because this sea area was completely opposite to his cave dwelling. If he had met these three in the sea area of the Fog Sea small island, he would never have let a single one of them survive.

And he had already planned to return to his dwelling to go into seclusion immediately. At least for twenty or thirty years, he didn't intend to leave his dwelling again.

Let those who want to find trouble with him slowly waste their time in the Outer Star Sea!

However, "Insect Demon", this really gave him a wicked title.

But apart from being forced into a corner and using the Gold-Devouring Beetles to wipe out that group of Biyun Sect cultivators, when had he ever done anything like killing people and robbing treasures?

This was clearly someone framing him!

This made Han Li feel extremely stifled, even if he wasn't smoking from his seven orifices.

Thinking about his enemies in the Outer Star Sea, it seemed there was only that Biyun Sect.

Back then, due to the danger of high-tier demon beasts, Han Li hadn't ventured too deeply into the deep sea area of the Outer Star Sea. He had only been using Neon Clothes Grass to continuously lure demon beasts to take their cores in some peripheral places.

As a result, once he had just trapped a Level 7 demon beast, he happened to run into a team of seven or eight high-tier Core Formation cultivators. The opponent arrogantly claimed to be Biyun Sect cultivators and became greedy, wanting to kill him and rob his treasures.

Han Li had no choice but to release over a hundred thousand Gold-Devouring Beetles to wipe out the enemy.

According to his thoughts, since he had already made a move, it was naturally best to kill them all to silence them.

But what he didn't expect was that although he wiped out most of the cultivators, the late-stage Core Formation cultivator among them possessed an ancient treasure with considerable power. As a result, when he was caught off guard, he broke through the Gold-Devouring Beetle swarm and luckily escaped with his life.

Han Li naturally knew that this so-called Biyun Sect was one of the major forces on Qiyuan Island.

Having no other choice, he had to risk breaking into the deep sea to avoid this newly made great enemy.

Speaking of which, he could be considered lucky. During the few years he roamed the deep sea, he didn't encounter a single demon beast above Level 8.

The most dangerous time was just attracting a few Level 7 demon beasts.

Although it made him busy and flustered for a while, after releasing his Gold-Devouring Beetles and magic treasures, he still settled them safely.

After these years of deep-sea hunting, he finally saved up hundreds of Level 6 and 7 demon cores, more than enough for refining pills. And various demon beast materials had also accumulated into a large pile.

Because of this, he resolutely returned along the original path.

But just after returning from the deep sea and passing through this sea area, he accidentally discovered a Glazed Beast.

Han Li naturally didn't intend to let it go, so he set up a formation to trap and kill it.

As a result, he didn't expect that it would attract the three, including the pigeon-faced old man, who even called him the Insect Demon in a panic.

This naturally made Han Li feel extremely depressed.

Clearly, the greatest possibility was that the Biyun Sect couldn't find him everywhere, and they knew what his insect-driving technique and Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords looked like, so they were fanning the flames everywhere to fabricate an Insect Demon.

Undoubtedly, the opponent wanted to destroy his reputation, making him have no place to stay in the Outer Star Sea. They also wanted to lure and force him to show himself, and even directly send people to disguise themselves as him to kill people and rob treasures, killing two birds with one stone!

Unfortunately, Han Li had been in the deep sea area all these years, so they naturally wasted their efforts.

However, speaking of this, Han Li was a bit puzzled.

Finding a high-tier cultivator who was also proficient in insect-driving techniques wasn't a difficult task. Even finding some flying insects similar to the Gold-Devouring Beetles was an easy thing.

But if it was really the Biyun Sect playing tricks, why were the flying insects used by the person disguised as him gold and silver-colored, instead of imitating the three-colored Gold-Devouring Beetles he used when wiping out the Biyun Sect cultivators? That Core Formation cultivator who escaped back wouldn't have gotten this point wrong!

And knowing what the color of his Gold-Devouring Beetles was before they evolved, this should have been something from before he came to the Outer Star Sea.

Could it be... could it be those old monsters from the Void Heaven Palace who tracked him here?

When Han Li thought of this, he felt a chill in his heart, and his expression changed drastically!

If this were really the case, the situation would be truly bad.

After sitting quietly in the original spot and pondering for a while, Han Li suddenly stomped his foot and soared into the air without any warning.

Subsequently, he turned into a green rainbow and broke through the sky towards the Fog Sea small island.

Han Li in the escape light had a normal expression, with a hint of cold mockery hidden at the corner of his mouth.

He had just figured it out.

The "Insect Demon" matter, whether it was the Biyun Sect playing tricks or those old monsters wanting to force him to show himself, didn't need much brainpower to deal with.

Because the situation in the Outer Star Sea had become somewhat eerie due to the Abyss demon beast matter. And he had originally planned to go into bitter cultivation for some years without going out as soon as he returned to his dwelling.

In this way, it was just right to avoid this dangerous limelight with one stone and two birds.

And as long as his cultivation base went up, even if he really became this notorious Insect Demon, what would others dare to do to him?

The cultivation world was originally a place where only the strong had the right to speak!

Holding this thought, Han Li fled all the way without any further doubts in his heart.

At the same time, in a secret room in Black Stone City on Qiyuan Island, two people were hiding in the dark, talking mysteriously about something.

"Brother Qi, it's been two or three years now. Is your method really effective? I can't really waste seven or eight years here, specifically waiting for this kid to take the bait!" A cold voice said, full of impatience.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, this matter cannot be rushed. Aren't you also using your spiritual sense to scan every corner of Black Stone City every day? If that kid disguises himself and enters this city, he definitely won't escape Brother Wu's eyes." Another somewhat hoarse voice said in a deep tone.

The owner of the first voice was none other than the Extreme Yin Ancestor, whom he hadn't seen for many years!

At this time, he still had the appearance of a pale-faced middle-aged man, but his expression was extremely gloomy, and a trace of dissatisfaction was hidden in his eyes!

"Hmph! Wu has sent several disciples to impersonate that kid and kill people and rob treasures everywhere according to Brother Qi's method, but where is there any effect? It's not that Brother Qi is deliberately hiding something for other purposes. Wu doesn't believe that such a large Biyun Sect finding an early-stage Core Formation cultivator is so difficult." The Extreme Yin Ancestor looked very unhappy.

"Cough! Brother Wu is wronging me. Brother Qi and Fellow Daoist Wu haven't been friends for just a year or two. How could I be such a person? Moreover, my sect also has a deep hatred with that kid! We have never relaxed our investigation of this person." The owner of the hoarse voice was a middle-aged Daoist priest wearing a crane-patterned Daoist robe, with a face full of white freckles, but with a layer of warm jade-like luster covering his face, which also appeared quite imposing!

"However, Fellow Daoist Wu. Brother Qi is very curious! Where exactly did that kid offend you, causing Brother Wu to risk sneaking into Heaven Star City and then teleporting here? You have always used your grandson's death at this person's hands as an excuse to be vague. Brother Qi really can't believe it." The Daoist priest seemed to have remembered something and suddenly said with a smile.
