Chapter 535

"You..."

"Wait, I would like to hear what this lady has to say next. As for whether the news is true or false, I can still judge for myself." When Lady Fan frowned and wanted to say something more, Han Li's expression sank, and he suddenly spoke to interrupt her.

"Since Nephew Disciple Wen knows something, it would be good to let Fellow Daoist Li ask." A cold light flashed in Yun Yun Tianxiao's eyes, and after a moment of pondering, he smiled and said.

"Alright then!" After Lady Fan was stunned for a moment, she agreed somewhat reluctantly.

"Many thanks." Han Li was not overly polite either; he gave a slight nod to express his gratitude.

This casual attitude caused a flicker of imperceptible gloom to cross Yun Yun Tianxiao's face, but he quickly concealed it.

At this moment, Han Li was already staring at Wen Siyue's beautiful face and began to ask:

"Tell me how you know the location of the eighth-rank demon beast's nest." Han Li's voice was cold and calm, showing no signs of joy or anger. This caused Wen Siyue, who was close at hand, to reveal a trace of hesitation. But then, remembering some terrifying event, she said decisively:

"When I first arrived at the Outer Star Sea, I accidentally obtained a sea chart that had a location marked on it. At the time, I thought it was some kind of treasure map, so I secretly went over to take a look. As a result, I discovered a 'Wind-Splitting Beast' cub there. Fortunately, the beast only appeared to be at the second or third rank, so it didn't discover me. I was so scared that I left there immediately. Senior also knows that a Wind-Splitting Beast only begins to produce offspring after entering the eighth-rank stage. It will continue to care for the cub until it is about the fifth rank before leaving, so there must be an eighth-rank Wind-Splitting Beast living there as well. If Senior is willing to agree to my conditions, I am willing to go and lead the way." Wen Siyue told of an experience buried deep in her heart bit by bit.

Han Li's expression did not change after hearing this, but a trace of excitement appeared in his eyes.

This woman was right; an adult Wind-Splitting Beast is indeed a genuine eighth-rank demon beast. If what she said was true, there must be Companion Demon Grass in that nest.

"I wonder what conditions Fellow Daoist wants to exchange for the information on this demon beast's nest." After staring at the woman for a long while, Han Li let out a breath and asked in a deep voice.

Han Li believed that the other party would not be stupid enough to deceive a Core Formation stage cultivator with false news, so he directly asked for Wen Siyue's conditions.

"I want to ask Senior to take me away from here and take Siyue as a concubine." After Wen Siyue's face flushed slightly, she said without hesitation.

"What!" Han Li was stunned, and an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

"Siyue, what nonsense are you spouting?" Lady Fan could not sit still upon hearing this. Her beautiful face was filled with a mixture of shock and anger.

The other cultivators were equally stunned, but then most of them revealed a playful expression, as if watching a show. A few cultivators could not help but chuckle.

Seeing this scene, Yun Yun Tianxiao, who was sitting to the side, suddenly sank, and his face was faintly covered with a layer of iron-blue color.

"I didn't hear clearly what conditions you just proposed to Fellow Daoist Li. Say it again and let me hear." Yun Yun Tianxiao suddenly placed his fair palms on the round table, stared at his fingers, and said coldly with an expressionless face.

The delicate body tightly hugging Han Li's waist trembled a few times. Upon hearing this, Wen Siyue's face turned bloodless.

However, when her bright eyes fell on Han Li, whose expression had returned to calm, she seemed to regain some courage.

"I... I want to be a concubine for this Senior Li and withdraw from the Myriad Sound Sect from now on!" Wen Siyue used all her strength to spit out these two sentences to Yun Yun Tianxiao with great difficulty. Then, she dared not look anymore and lowered her head again.

"Puff" sound.

Gray flames half a foot high burst from Yun Yun Tianxiao's hands, wrapping his two palms within them and burning fiercely.

That eerie gray light reflected off his gloomy and uncertain face, looking quite terrifying.

"White Bone Yin Fire," someone muttered in a low voice.

Immediately, the other Core Formation stage cultivators who were still laughing retracted their smiles and revealed a trace of solemnity.

"Fellow Daoist Li! It seems this woman has been practicing her techniques improperly and has become somewhat muddled in the head. I hope you will not take her previous nonsense to heart. Someone! Take Wen Siyue down, seal her magic power, and have her face the wall for half a month." Yun Yun Tianxiao ordered coldly, devoid of any emotion.

Immediately following this command, two green-robed cultivators walked in from outside the stone door, both at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and headed straight toward Han Li's side.

Wen Siyue's face turned pale immediately, and the look she cast toward Han Li was full of pleading, revealing a softness that made people's hearts ache.

Han Li could not help but frown.

"Wait!" He finally spoke.

"Why, has Fellow Daoist Li really taken a fancy to this female cultivator of our sect?" Before Yun Yun Tianxiao could speak, Lady Fan could not hold back her temper and said coldly.

"Perhaps. But I am more interested in knowing about the demon beast. I ask that you and Brother Yun not be so impatient. Why not listen to my conditions first?" Han Li said indifferently without blinking.

Upon hearing Han Li's words, Yun Yun Tianxiao's expression was uncertain. After pondering for a moment, he waved his hands, and the flames on his hands extinguished.

"You all go down first. I will listen for now!" Yun Yun Tianxiao said to Han Li in a neither cold nor warm tone.

He decided to give Han Li some face first. After all, the other party was also a Core Formation stage cultivator, and he had a major event to accomplish this time that required the strength of all the Core Formation cultivators present, so he did not want to easily offend anyone.

"Since Fellow Daoist Wen has taken the initiative to offer to be my concubine, I would truly find it unbearable to just ignore it, not to mention that I am determined to obtain the demon beast information she possesses. How about this: I will exchange this pile of materials for her freedom. What do you think, Brother Yun?" Han Li pushed that pile of extremely rare materials out without blinking, then looked at the other party with a smile that was not a smile, remaining silent.

"You are exchanging these things?" Yun Yun Tianxiao said coldly, but a trace of suspicion appeared in his eyes.

The items before him were all rare materials from sixth or seventh-rank demon beasts, worth at least tens of thousands of spirit stones. Yet the other party was using them to exchange for a Foundation Establishment stage female cultivator without changing his expression. Even if the woman was enchanting and moving, he was still somewhat shocked.

Could the news of the eighth-rank demon beast really be that important to this person? Should he take this opportunity to step down, or should he ruthlessly fleece the other party again?

Various thoughts turned extremely quickly in this Yun Yun Tianxiao's mind. Just as he finally made up his mind and his expression softened, wanting to say something, Lady Fan, who was sitting to the side, flashed her delicate body, leaned into his ear, and whispered a few words. This immediately caused Yun Yun Tianxiao's expression to change drastically, revealing a look of hesitation.

"Fellow Daoist Li, even if you bring out more materials, this woman cannot be taken away. Otherwise, once this precedent is set, anyone who takes a fancy to our sect's female cultivators could easily take them out. Where would that leave the face of our Myriad Sound Sect?" After a moment of silence, Yun Yun Tianxiao actually said righteously.

These words caused the other cultivators present to be stunned at first, and then they could not help but look at each other thoughtfully.

With so many rare materials, logically speaking, it should be more than enough to exchange for a Foundation Establishment stage female cultivator. Yet Yun Yun Tianxiao had actually refused; there must definitely be some issues involved.

And looking at Han Li's appearance, he seemed unwilling to let the woman go either.

This caused the others to sneer involuntarily, suddenly feeling that there was a good show to watch.

"Myriad Sound Sect?" Han Li pursed his lips, a strange expression flashing in his eyes.

"Why, does Fellow Daoist Li not know that this secret market was opened by our sect? And I, Yun, am the Elder of the Myriad Sound Sect, assisting Sect Master Fan in managing our sect." Yun Yun Tianxiao said coldly, an eerie gray aura faintly emerging on his face. His intent to intimidate was undoubtedly revealed!

However, Yun Yun Tianxiao doing this was only to intimidate the other party a little.

"The other party is only a Core Formation early-stage cultivator, and this is my own territory. After weighing the pros and cons, he will likely have to yield. It's just a pity about those materials." Yun Yun Tianxiao thought with some regret, without the slightest worry in his heart.

But just at this moment, he suddenly saw a cold smile appear on Han Li's lips, and he stiffly spat out the word "Good."

Then, it seemed as if he saw the other party raise his right hand, a sheet of white light suddenly rose, his vision blurred, and a white essence light arrived before his eyes.

Yun Yun Tianxiao was greatly shocked in his heart. His protective technique operated automatically, and countless gray flames appeared on his body, shielding him within out of thin air.

But just at this moment, the white light struck the gray flames without the slightest politeness, and after a blur, twelve small swords an inch long suddenly appeared, stabbing down fiercely at the same time.

"Ah!" Yun Yun Tianxiao was scared out of his wits and hurriedly opened his mouth, wanting to spit out his magic treasure.

But under the frantic strikes of the twelve flying swords, the protective gray flames could not block them for even a moment. The flames dissipated instantly, and more than a dozen bloody holes were pierced through his body.

At this moment, Yun Yun Tianxiao had just spat out a small gray fork, but he had already collapsed to the ground with a miserable scream.

The remaining cultivators watched, dumbfounded, their mouths wide open, unable to close them for a long time.
