Chapter 586: Visitor

Han Li swept his gaze around, and seeing no one, he didn't hesitate to pat his spirit beast bag with one hand. A three-colored Gold-Devouring Beetle flew out from the bag silently, and under the command of his last trace of spiritual sense, the insect shot toward the stone house with a "whoosh." Net

Then, the insect flattened its body and squeezed through a crack in the stone door.

The room was quiet, without a sound.

Seeing this scene, Han Li sneered in his heart and walked back toward his residence without looking back.

Just as Han Li turned a corner, a scream suddenly came shrilly from the residence of the middle-aged man surnamed Feng.

Han Li pursed his lips and continued walking back with an expressionless face. However, the distance was already becoming noisy.

Since he had formed a feud with the middle-aged man surnamed Feng, he naturally had to solve this hidden danger cleanly while his magic power and spiritual sense were still there.

Otherwise, being targeted by this person, he always felt a bit uneasy in his heart.

Before he returned to the room, the trace of magic power brought by the Spirit-Connecting Qi had dissipated completely, and his spiritual sense could no longer leave his body.

Han Li shook his head lightly, looked at his residence not far away, and strode over.

Walking into the room, Mei Ning was lying on her side on the stone bed, breathing lightly and rhythmically, having fallen into a deep sleep at some point.

Han Li was stunned at first, then looked at her sweet and intoxicating sleeping face, remembering the situation when they kissed not long ago, and felt a slight heat in his heart. But seeing that this woman was curling her body slightly due to the chill, he hesitated for a moment before picking up a relatively large demon beast skin from the pile on the table and covering her with it.

The woman seemed to feel the warmth, her originally slightly furrowed brows stretched out, and then she subconsciously rolled the beast skin onto herself, still sleeping soundly.

Seeing this scene, Han Li couldn't help but laugh at himself.

This was no wonder. Although this woman's constitution was far superior to ordinary people, she was still a woman after all. The previous tossing and turning had left her physically and mentally exhausted.

As a result, while waiting for Han Li, she felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

After laughing, Han Li didn't wake her up, but looked at the pile of materials on the table, a flash of strange light in his eyes.

I don't know how much time passed before Mei Ning woke up slowly. As a result, before she opened her beautiful eyes, a faint voice came to her ears.

"If Fellow Daoist Mei is awake, then get up. These two days are not easy for us, and there are some preparations to be made."

Hearing the content of the words, the woman sat up with a red face, and the demon beast skin on her body slid off naturally.

This made the woman stunned, and then a pair of bright eyes stared blankly at the place where the voice came from, revealing a complex expression.

Han Li was sitting on the chair opposite, organizing a relatively large demon beast skin. Seeing her wake up, he smiled at her.

"I don't know if Miss Mei is proficient in needlework. I have some high-tier fire-attribute beast skins here. If possible, it would be best to make them into a few leather garments to wear on our bodies. In this way, they will have some defensive effects against the Yin wind."

"I can try, but I need some needles and thread."

Seeing that Han Li didn't mention the kiss from yesterday at all, Mei Ning's embarrassment faded slightly, but for some reason, there was a trace of indescribable disappointment in her heart. However, on the surface, she just replied with a red face:

"These beast skins are relatively hard, and only flying needle magic tools can barely pierce them. Then just use these thinner beast tendons to sew them together. After all, we are just trying to resist the Yin wind and can't be too particular." Han Li raised his hand, picked up a blue, faint long needle from the table, and handed it over, seemingly well-prepared.

This needle was a top-tier flying needle magic tool. Even Han Li himself had forgotten which unlucky cultivator who died at his hands he had obtained it from. Now that he felt it could be used, he took it out from his storage bag together.

"I will do my best." Mei Ning bit her red lips and said in a low voice.

Han Li nodded, and just as he wanted to say something, footsteps came from outside the door, followed by an old voice.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Han is in?"

"Who?" Han Li was stunned for a moment and asked strangely.

But afterward, he felt the voice was a bit familiar. After pondering slightly, it was indeed the voice of the long-bearded old man, which made him feel even more surprised.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist and I were chatting happily on the stone platform yesterday!" A hearty laugh came from outside; it was indeed the cultivator who claimed to be from the Five Dragon Seas.

Since the other party had said so, Han Li naturally wouldn't refuse to see him. He was also curious about the other party's purpose for coming here suddenly, so he stood up and walked a few steps to pull the door open.

Outside the door stood the smiling long-bearded old man, and behind him were two other old men, one with a red face and white beard, and one hunchbacked and gloomy.

"Three, please come in!" Han Li didn't ask for their purpose first, but directly let the few people in.

"This must be Fellow Daoist Mei!" The three looked at Mei Ning in the room, revealing a few traces of amazement, but afterward, they bowed with normal expressions.

Mei Ning bowed back, then naturally stood beside Han Li without saying much, looking like she was led by Han Li. This made the three old men look at each other thoughtfully.

After the three sat down on the chairs, Han Li swept a glance at the other two and asked slowly:

"These two are also..."

"Fellow Daoist Han guessed right. These two are fellow Daoists from the Great Jin Kingdom, one is Fellow Daoist Yun from the Heaven Talisman Sect, and one is Fellow Daoist Jin from the Four Seas True Academy." The long-bearded old man introduced.

Han Li nodded to show he understood, and the two also looked at Han Li carefully, also greeting him politely.

"Three fellow Daoists, coming here together, is there something important?" Han Li asked without changing his expression.

Hearing Han Li's words, the three looked at each other subconsciously. A moment later, the long-bearded old man coughed and said meaningfully:

"Does Fellow Daoist know that Elder Feng, who was specifically in charge of teaching martial arts in the village, was suddenly bitten to death by an unknown strange insect yesterday? I heard that this strange insect took advantage of his deep sleep to suddenly bite his throat, and he died extremely miserably."

"Oh! There is such a thing. I wonder what kind of strange insect it is, to be so powerful!" Han Li's expression didn't change at all, and he said indifferently. This made the three people opposite him mutter in their hearts, completely unable to judge whether it really had anything to do with Han Li.

"This is not very clear, because when others heard the sound and went over, Elder Feng had already breathed his last. Only a few villagers saw a flying insect fly out from his wound. Although they used weapons to hack at this insect a few times, this insect was extremely hard and actually flew away without any damage. Because it was covered in blood, no one saw the specific appearance of this insect." The long-bearded old man stared at Han Li without blinking and asked slowly. The other two also looked at Han Li solemnly without speaking.

"Why, do the three of you think I did this? Coming to my door to question my crime." Han Li's expression remained unchanged, he leaned back, and said lazily.

"How could that be! We three absolutely believe that Fellow Daoist didn't do this. Even if you did, we would be happy about it. That mortal surnamed Feng always disrespected us few people, and his death is just right." The old man's expression changed slightly, and he laughed, saying.

Han Li narrowed his eyes, looked at them, and didn't respond immediately.

And the long-bearded old man turned his eyes and tried again:

"However, we heard people say that Elder Feng seemed to have visited your room yesterday, and then came out dejected. And when checking the corpse today, it was found that his arm had been broken. It seems Brother Han, although your magic power is lost, has other powerful means!"

Hearing the other party say this, Han Li raised his eyebrows.

It seems these few people still had some power in the village, and they even knew that the middle-aged man surnamed Feng had entered his room yesterday and then suffered a setback.

"Three fellow Daoists, coming here for this matter. If there is anything, just say it clearly. I have no interest in going around in circles." Han Li remained silent for a while, his voice turning cold.

"This..." The long-bearded old man and the others saw Han Li speak so frankly, and couldn't help but look at each other, all showing hesitation.

"Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you. Fellow Daoists, please return." Han Li didn't want to get entangled, his face showing impatience, and said again.

Perhaps these words finally made the other party make a choice, and the hunchbacked, gloomy old man suddenly spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Han, I wonder if you have any interest in ruling this village together with us."

"What do you mean?" Han Li frowned, but in reality, he had already faintly guessed the other party's meaning.

"Since we are all cultivators, I will tell the truth. I think Fellow Daoist has seen the elders in the village. Apart from that Great Elder who relies on arriving earlier than us and can control the power in the village, the status of the other cultivators in the village is exactly the same as those mortals, equally hungry and full, and even making us take risks to go out and hunt Yin beasts. Conversely, the only thing we cultivators can rely on to cast spells, the Yin-Underworld beast crystals, is held in the hands of a few mortals. This is simply guarding against us like thieves. It is simply a great shame for us. Since that is the case, let us cultivators unite and completely control the power of the village. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?" The long-bearded old man saw that his companion had already revealed some information, so he didn't hide it anymore and said the true purpose of their visit.
