Chapter 555: Luring into an Ambush

After returning to Twin Peaks Island, Madam Fan, with Han Li's assistance, swept away all the cultivators loyal to Yun Yun Tianxiao and then began to wait quietly in the market for the opponent's arrival.

Five days later, Han Li was resting with his eyes closed in the market's hall, while Madam Fan sat opposite him, her expression shifting.

Just then, a streak of fire flew into the hall. Madam Fan's beautiful eyes brightened, and she waved her slender hand lightly, catching the fire light in her hand.

A few somewhat panicked female voices came from the fire light.

"Sect Master, it's bad! Apart from Elder Yun, Miaohua True Person has also returned with him. They have already entered the market; Sect Master, prepare early!"

"What? Miaohua old ghost has come too?" Madam Fan was shocked, crushing the sound transmission talisman to pieces, her face becoming extremely ugly.

"Miaohua of the Biyun Sect?" Han Li opened his eyes, his expression changing slightly, but he soon calmed down.

"Who else could it be but that old Daoist? Now, even if we want to stop, it's too late. Yun Yun Tianxiao's men have been cleared out completely. As long as he stays in the market for a while, he will discover that something is wrong." Madam Fan said with a livid face.

Afterward, seeing that Han Li still maintained a calm expression, she stared at him, a trace of hope rising in her heart!

Seeing this woman staring at him without speaking, Han Li rolled his eyes at her and said without any good temper.

"Madam looking at me like this, what does it mean? Don't tell me you're expecting me to fight a Nascent Soul cultivator head-on!"

However, he really wasn't that panicked!

Since the one coming wasn't a fellow like Man Man Huzi or Wan Wan Tianming, although he was no match, he could just pack up and leave. Especially after gaining the Wind-Thunder Wings magic treasure, he had more confidence in escaping safely from a Nascent Soul early-stage cultivator.

If possible, he naturally still wanted to follow the plan and teleport back to the Inner Star Sea. Therefore, although Han Li said so, he was pondering extremely quickly in his heart.

But Madam Fan, hearing Han Li's words, turned pale and stood blankly in place, her mind in a state of chaos.

But a moment later, a trace of coldness flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he licked his lips and asked in a low voice:

"I wonder what relationship Miaohua has with Yun Yun Tianxiao? If I suddenly make a move and kill Yun Yun Tianxiao, will he definitely make a move to avenge him?"

Hearing Han Li say this, Madam Fan was stunned, but immediately understood and replied with joy.

"What relationship could there be? That old Daoist just used the Miaoyin Sect's female cultivators sent by Yun Yun Tianxiao as cauldrons to climb up to some relationship. Although he and Yun Yun Tianxiao are relatively close, if I promise higher conditions afterward, he shouldn't care about the Miaoyin Sect's affairs. However, this must be on the condition that Yun Yun Tianxiao doesn't ask him for help. Otherwise, the old Daoist might not be able to save face and might truly intervene in our sect's affairs."

"That will do! Afterward, you lure Yun Yun Tianxiao alone into the room next door. I will make a move and eliminate him instantly; he won't have time to ask Miaohua for help. As long as the fact of you holding power is established, the old Daoist won't say anything more. Then you can use better conditions to win Miaohua over." Han Li analyzed calmly for Madam Fan.

"Fine! At this point, we can only fight. Senior must use full strength to eliminate Yun Yun Tianxiao in the shortest time! Senior, please wait in the room furthest from here; I will handle the luring." Madam Fan, not an ordinary woman, gritted her teeth and agreed upon being pushed to this point.

Seeing this, Han Li didn't delay any longer and walked quickly toward the side door of the hall. It led directly to the many rooms behind the hall.

When he reached the door, Han Li paused his steps, turned back with a gloomy face.

"Sect Master Fan! Don't have any sudden ideas of revealing my identity after I kill Yun Yun Tianxiao to curry favor with Miaohua! Regardless of whether Madam has this thought, I'll give you a reminder first. With my current means, even if I'm not Miaohua's match, escaping from his hands is still effortless. When the time comes, I will do something that I'm sure Madam knows the consequences of! These words are a warning; don't let your head get hot and do something that is bad for both of us." When Han Li said the latter part, his voice had become incomparably cold.

Madam Fan, hearing these words, was stunned, and after her expression changed several times, a bitter smile appeared on her face.

"Senior is joking, how could I do something ungrateful! Besides, Elder Han is not an ordinary Core Formation cultivator, how could I not know that. Please rest assured, Senior, as long as Yun Yun Tianxiao is eliminated, I will definitely not break my promise." The woman said with a solemn expression, then swore a poisonous oath to the sky.

Han Li looked at the woman deeply for a few times before entering the side door without looking back, walking through a short passage, and entering the last room.

This room was a bit smaller, but the layout was much the same as the hall in front.

Han Li flashed, arriving beside a sandalwood chair to sit down. He then closed his eyes and restrained his breath, concealing his spiritual energy completely to avoid being discovered by the approaching Miao He and the others.

He was confident that after reaching the late Core Formation stage, he should be able to deceive the spiritual sense of a Nascent Soul early-stage cultivator, but this was still his own conjecture.

Whether he could truly deceive Miaohua's sensing, he himself was a bit uncertain. He could only do his best.

Madam Fan in the hall next door was equally uneasy.

She seemed to have full confidence in Han Li, but in reality, she also didn't know whether Han Li could truly eliminate Yun Yun Tianxiao instantly with his supernatural powers.

Although Han Li had shown a hand at the last exchange meeting, she knew very well that most of it was due to the effect of taking the opponent by surprise.

However, this woman was also a deep-scheming person. After forcibly using her mental cultivation method to suppress the miscellaneous thoughts in her heart, she sat on the main seat, poured herself a cup of hot tea, and sipped it slowly.

With this action, she quickly regained her calm.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door. A moment later, a Confucian scholar and a middle-aged Daoist priest wearing a crane-patterned robe walked in one after another.

"Senior Miaohua, Elder Yun!" Madam Fan exclaimed in feigned surprise, quickly putting down the teacup she had brought to her lips, and hurriedly bowed to Miaohua True Person first.

Miaohua just nodded slightly indifferently, without speaking, looking like an expert outside the world.

But when Yun Yun Tianxiao entered the hall and scanned the surroundings, his brow furrowed unintentionally, and a trace of suspicion appeared on his face.

"Why don't I see Yunqin outside serving the Sect Master. Could it be that she dares to be lazy? I must teach her a lesson." Yun Yun Tianxiao said quite angrily after returning the salute.

"Yunqin! She..." Madam Fan revealed a look of hesitation, glanced at Miaohua, and looked hesitant and stuttering.

"Sect Master, Senior Miaohua is not an outsider! Just say whatever you have to say." Yun Yun Tianxiao was first startled, but then said with feigned displeasure.

"Since it's like this. I'll be direct. Yunqin is currently entertaining a loose cultivator who has a batch of Dream Illusion Stones he wants to sell to our sect. That girl insisted on negotiating with this person personally, so I had to let her." Madam Fan, seeing this, also made an unhappy expression and said coldly.

"What, Dream Illusion Stones?" Yun Yun Tianxiao was about to turn his face to say something to Miaohua, but upon hearing this, his body trembled, and a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face.

Miaohua True Person's eyes flashed with essence light upon hearing this, and then he narrowed his eyes.

"Humph! Elder Yun's good disciple actually insists on negotiating with people alone. Even I, the Sect Master, am not allowed to watch." Madam Fan seemed to have been holding back a belly full of anger, and said coldly with an ugly face.

"Cough... Yunqin is indeed a bit excessive. But I believe she didn't do it on purpose. Sect Master, where are they now? I'm a bit worried." Yun Yun Tianxiao coughed a few times, looking indifferent, but immediately turned his face and said respectfully to Miaohua:

"Senior Miaohua, please wait a moment. I will handle this small matter, and then we will continue discussing the things we mentioned on the road."

"Since Daoist Yun has important matters, please handle them first. I will meditate here for a while." Miaohua True Person smiled slightly and said indifferently.

Yun Yun Tianxiao was overjoyed upon hearing this. Then his gaze fell on Madam Fan.

"Elder Yun, follow me, I'll lead the way." Madam Fan said reluctantly, walking slowly toward the side door, as if she were very unwilling.

Yun Yun Tianxiao was already confused by the good news of the Dream Illusion Stones, and seeing Madam Fan's behavior, the last bit of suspicion in his heart vanished. He hurriedly followed closely.

Miaohua glanced at the backs of the two with indifference, then found a chair and sat down grandly.

On the other side, Yun Yun Tianxiao had already followed Madam Fan to the last stone room in the passage, the door tightly closed.

"We're here! Talk to them properly. Anyway, I, the Sect Master, can't make any decisions at all!" Madam Fan snorted, pointed at the room door, and then walked back with a belly full of dissatisfaction.

Yun Yun Tianxiao saw this, a cold smile flashed on his face, and then he pushed open the room door without caring, walking directly inside.
