Chapter 670: Marquis Nan Long

They were naturally Han Li and Elder Lü who had traveled a long way from the Xi Kingdom. As for the beautiful female cultivator, she was Mu Mu Peiling, who had the status of Han Li's concubine.

Because Elder Cheng with the silver hair had to hold down the fort at the Luoyun Sect to prevent any petty people from taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble, he did not come along.

According to this old man, he had already participated in such grand events seven or eight times, and there was nothing he urgently needed, so he naturally wanted to leave the opportunity to the two younger Junior Brothers.

As a result, Han Li and Elder Lü appeared here.

Mu Mu Peiling, that woman, had encountered a bottleneck in her cultivation and had just come out of closed-door cultivation. When she heard Han Li say that this Tiannan First Trading Conference was about to be held, she could not help but be moved and tried to propose going together to open her eyes.

After all, if she couldn't reach Core Formation, this grand event might be the only one she could possibly participate in.

Han Li was not a harsh person, and he felt that going to the trading conference would not be dangerous, so he agreed in one breath.

After all, the journey was not short, and having a beauty to accompany him was also a pleasing thing.

Of course, other cultivators of the three sects of Mount Mount Yunmeng also traveled together or set off alone to go to the trading conference.

Han Li and the others naturally would not want to travel with these juniors, so they set off a step early and came to the Yu Kingdom first.

They chose a route that avoided the countries of the Righteous and Demonic paths as much as possible, and entered the sphere of influence of the Nine Nations Alliance without any trouble, finally arriving near Zhentian City.

At this moment, Han Li was casually observing the nearby scenery. Occasionally, other cultivators passed by in the distance, but when their spiritual sense swept over the middle-aged man surnamed Lu and Han Li from afar, their expressions changed drastically. Not daring to linger for even a moment, they immediately fled as if flying, as if they were afraid of provoking something!

Han Li and the middle-aged man surnamed Lü did not hide their cultivation. Ordinary cultivators seeing two Nascent Soul stage cultivators together, anyone would be terrified and immediately take a detour.

At first, Mu Mu Peiling was not quite used to this, but later, seeing this often, she became accustomed to it and ignored it.

At this time, that Elder Lü was talking about something to Han Li in a gentle and pleasant manner while hurrying on his way.

"This trading conference being held in Zhentian City has only been a matter of the last hundred years. Before, it was always held by the Righteous and Demonic paths, held in turns in the Tianluo Kingdom and the Fengdu Kingdom. After all, the Heavenly Dao Alliance had not been established at that time, and the Nine Nations Alliance was being crushed by the Mulan Dharma cultivators, so this grand event with astonishing profits could only be mastered by these two major forces. But after the Righteous and Demonic forces expanded, cultivators from other forces naturally would not feel at ease continuing to let the countries of the Righteous and Demonic paths host the trading conference. So starting from the last time, the hosting rights of the trading conference fell to the neutral Nine Nations Alliance without any dispute. This can be considered a silent loss suffered by the Righteous and Demonic forces after their influence grew."

"Since Elder Lü said so, it was truly cheap for the Nine Nations Alliance. However, I am truly interested in the rumors of Zhentian City. It is the only city of cultivators in Tiannan. It is said that the Mulan Dharma cultivator coalition army once fought all the way to the Yu Kingdom, and it was only under Zhentian City that they were defeated by the newly allied Nine Nations cultivators using the 'Upper Origin Extinguishing Light Array.' It is said that in that battle, just the Nascent Soul stage cultivators who died were several, which was truly tragic." Han Li's face revealed an interested look as he said.

"Haha! Han Junior Brother, rest assured, this Zhentian City will definitely not disappoint you. However, I have always felt that Junior Brother is a bit different from before after this closed-door cultivation. But it doesn't look like your cultivation has improved. It seems you must have cultivated some secret technique to great success. Otherwise, you wouldn't give me such a strange feeling." The middle-aged man surnamed Lü smiled, but suddenly changed the topic and asked somewhat tentatively.

"I have indeed cultivated a new cultivation technique, but it is still far from great success. On the contrary, I have heard from other disciples that Elder Lü's 'Thousand Waves Technique' is a famous top-tier cultivation technique, and I have always wanted to see it." Han Li smiled slightly, easily leading the topic to the other party.

"Junior Brother, don't listen to the nonsense of those disciples in the sect. My 'Thousand Waves Technique' can only be said to be a relatively ordinary water-attribute cultivation technique. Although it is easy to deal with Core Formation cultivators, once it encounters cultivators of the same rank, it loses more than it wins. Fortunately, this cultivation technique has two life-saving divine abilities, so I haven't lost my life after being defeated." This Elder Lü shook his head and said with a bitter smile.

Hearing this, Han Li believed it somewhat. He remembered that last time, this person and that silver-haired Elder Cheng were trapped by the Righteous and Demonic paths together. As a result, this Elder Lü escaped back to Mount Mount Yunmeng without any harm, while the silver-haired old man, whose cultivation was slightly higher, was severely injured before he could shake off his opponent.

It can be seen that the other party's life-saving means are indeed extraordinary.

Han Li's heart moved, and just as he wanted to say something more, he suddenly froze, and looked toward one side with some surprise.

"Young Master, what happened!" Mu Mu Peiling, who was close to Han Li, asked curiously. At this moment, she was Han Li's concubine, so she naturally would not show her cold appearance, and as her beautiful face bloomed, she was charming and moving, her eyes flowing.

"A team of cultivators is flying toward us, and among them is a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. It seems they have also discovered us." Han Li frowned, but immediately said calmly.

"Eh! It really is. I didn't expect Junior Brother's spiritual sense to be so powerful, actually sensing it even earlier than me! However, Junior Brother is truly cautious, actually keeping your spiritual sense open at all times even near Zhentian City!" The middle-aged man surnamed Lü glanced in the direction Han Li was looking, and a look of surprise also appeared on his face, and he could not help but look at Han Li with even more respect.

Han Li smiled and did not speak.

Actually, with the power of his spiritual sense, he didn't need to deliberately open it; it was just sensed automatically. However, the Nascent Soul cultivator in the distance could also fly toward them from such a long distance, which meant that his spiritual sense was also not weak.

Han Li and the middle-aged man surnamed Lü were both curious about who was coming, so the three of them slowed down their escape light.

A moment later, a piece of melodious drum music drifted over. Golden light flashed in the sky in the distance, and a team of golden-armored warriors, like heavenly soldiers and generals, were surrounding a golden and brilliant beast carriage, flying slowly toward here. Vaguely, there were white cranes dancing in front, and palace maids carrying tripods following behind, appearing like an imperial inspection.

Mu Mu Peiling was stunned, her apricot lips slightly open in shock.

Han Li was also astonished in his heart, but his surface looked calm.

He knew that cultivators in the cultivation world were strange, especially after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, some cultivators' temperaments became strange and unreasonable due to the influence of cultivation techniques, which was a common thing. So after being startled, he didn't take it to heart.

But when Elder Lü saw this scene, he gasped and whispered in shock.

"Marquis Nan Long! Why did this old monster come to participate in the trading conference?"

"Han Junior Brother, don't speak nonsense. This person has great divine abilities and a strange temperament. But I had met him once three hundred years ago when I was following my Master, Mu Li Shangren. Being able to see him again today is truly my luck!"

Although the middle-aged man surnamed Lü spoke neither humble nor arrogant, Han Li clearly heard his fear of this Marquis Nan Long. He actually vaguely treated himself as a junior.

And that huge beast carriage was shrouded in a mass of golden light, making it impossible to see clearly, but the drum music that had been coming from the beast carriage stopped abruptly after the middle-aged man surnamed Lü's greeting.

The team stopped without any warning when they were a few dozen feet away from Han Li and the others, and it became silent.

Seeing this situation, Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly. But immediately returned to normal.

"Inside, is it Marquis Nan Long? I, Lü Luo of the Falling Cloud Sect, have seen Fellow Daoist. The last time I saw the Marquis was three hundred years ago when I was following my Master, Mu Li Shangren. Being able to see you again today is truly my luck!"

Although the middle-aged man surnamed Lü spoke neither humble nor arrogant, Han Li clearly heard his fear of this Marquis Nan Long. He actually vaguely treated himself as a junior.

And that huge beast carriage was shrouded in a mass of golden light, making it impossible to see clearly, but the drum music that had been coming from the beast carriage stopped abruptly after the middle-aged man surnamed Lü's greeting.

The team stopped without any warning when they were a few dozen feet away from Han Li and the others, and it became silent.

Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly. But immediately returned to normal.

"Oh! So you are the disciple of that sour scholar Mu Li. Back then, it seemed you were only a Core Formation cultivator. I didn't expect that three hundred years later, you have condensed a Nascent Soul. I heard that your Master passed away after we parted three hundred years ago. It is truly a pity. However, who is the Fellow Daoist beside you? You look very unfamiliar!" A lazy voice came from the golden light, and the last sentence actually mentioned Han Li.

... ===== CHAPTER 671 =====

When the procession was still several dozen zhang away from the three of them, it stopped without warning and suddenly became deathly silent.

Seeing this situation clearly, Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly. But he immediately returned to normal.

"Oh! So you are the disciple of that pedantic scholar Mu Li. Back then, you seemed to be only a Core Formation cultivator. I didn't expect that after three hundred years, you would also have formed a Nascent Soul. I heard that after parting three hundred years ago, your master passed away. It really is a pity. But who is the fellow Daoist beside you? You look very unfamiliar!" A lazy voice came from within the golden light, and the last sentence actually mentioned Han Li.
