Chapter 705

"Senior!" Han Li touched his chin, a strange expression appearing on his face. 【Web】

The fat old man was exactly that "Senior Uncle Lei" who had once exchanged spirit medicine with him using a pill formula, and now he was actually calling him Senior.

Although according to the rules of the cultivation world, this was a very normal thing, Han Li still felt some strange feelings rising in his heart.

As for that stunningly beautiful woman named Nie Ying, she was that "Senior Sister Nie" who had once had a one-sided acquaintance and had protected the Lei-spiritual-root Brother Murong brothers.

Although Han Li had never had any interaction with this woman, he knew from what he had heard and seen that this woman had outstanding aptitude and was beautiful inside and out; the number of male disciples who secretly admired this woman back then was countless.

He didn't expect that after not seeing her for these years, she had also formed a Core.

Just as Han Li was looking at Lei Lei Wanhe and Nie Ying with a complex expression and without saying a word, Lei Lei Wanhe was also secretly puzzled in his heart.

The "Senior" before him was not only excessively young and had techniques to maintain his youth, but for some reason, he felt that this ordinary-looking face seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. This made him feel stunned and somewhat uneasy in his heart.

Nie Ying looked at Han Li with her beautiful eyes, and a look of surprise and doubt flashed in the depths of her clear eyes. This woman also seemed to have discovered something.

Han Li naturally wouldn't just waste time like this, and after smiling, he finally opened his mouth:

"It seems that after parting back then, Senior Uncle Lei really doesn't remember me. However, the pill formula Senior Uncle gifted back then really helped Han quite a bit."

"Senior Uncle? Pill formula! You... you are... Han Li... Han Junior Brother?" Lei Lei Wanhe's mouth was wide open in shock when he heard Han Li call him Senior Uncle, unable to close it for a moment, but after hearing about the pill formula, he seemed to remember something and stuttered in shock.

The other few people were also stunned when they heard this. This Nascent Soul stage Senior suddenly calling Lei Lei Wanhe "Senior Uncle" really made their brains unable to turn around for a moment.

Only that Nie Ying, after hearing this, looked at Han Li a few more times in shock, and said with a changed face:

"You are Senior Uncle Li's disciple, Han Li... Han Junior Brother?" The woman's exclamation was full of disbelief.

"I didn't expect Nie fellow Daoist to still recognize Han." Han Li said with genuine surprise.

Han Li didn't know that during the Qi Condensation stage, because of his low profile and low cultivation base, really not many people knew or recognized him. But after surviving the Blood Trial and successfully forming a Foundation, being accepted as a disciple by Li Li Huayuan, some interested people noticed him.

This "Senior Sister Nie" was one of them.

After the demonic path six sects invaded the Yue Kingdom and he killed many demonic path cultivators of the same rank, his reputation soared among the low-tier disciples. Although he hadn't met her again, the impression he left on this Senior Sister Nie deepened by three points.

Now that Han Li's appearance was exactly the same as when he met this woman, he only mentioned a beginning, and she naturally remembered the Han Junior Brother who had quite a reputation back then, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"You really are the Han Junior Nephew from back then." Lei Lei Wanhe swallowed dryly, his gaze somewhat fixed and dazed.

Although anything strange could happen in the cultivation world, and it wasn't uncommon for cultivators with outstanding aptitude to suddenly rise from the status of a disciple to being of the same generation as their elders, a junior nephew who was originally at the Foundation Establishment stage suddenly becoming a Senior-level existence at the Nascent Soul stage was something even someone as experienced as Lei Lei Wanhe couldn't react to for a moment.

"Senior Uncle Lei, don't be surprised. However, this is not the place to talk. Let's talk in detail on the way." Han Li looked around and said with a calm expression.

"Senior Uncle, this title, Lei absolutely dare not accept anymore. Since Senior Han has already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, you are a Senior to this Junior. Everything is up to Senior's orders." After Lei Lei Wanhe's expression changed several times between red and white, he finally said with a wry smile. His tone still maintained the respect from the very beginning, and he didn't dare to be negligent.

No matter what Han Li's identity was before, since his cultivation base and divine abilities were now far beyond his own, he naturally didn't dare to accept Han Li's title anymore.

The other three cultivators finally understood a bit at this time, and after looking at each other, they naturally had strange expressions on their faces.

Han Li didn't show any surprise upon hearing this, and after remaining silent for a moment, he nodded and accepted it.

"Since fellow Daoist Lei says so, Han won't be polite. Now we must leave this place immediately. Your escape speed is probably a bit slow. Let me give you a ride!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Li patted his storage pouch with one hand, flipped his palm, and a small, exquisite object appeared in his hand.

After throwing it lightly to one side, white light flashed, and an exquisite square object appeared before their eyes; it was exactly the Wind-Riding Carriage that Han Li had just obtained.

At this moment, this flying carriage, under the urging of the spell, expanded rapidly, becoming ten feet in size.

"Everyone get in the carriage!" Han Li ordered without ceremony.

Lei Lei Wanhe and the others naturally had no other opinions, and their figures flashed as they all entered the carriage.

After Han Li stepped into the Wind-Riding Carriage, he poured spiritual power into the carriage with his feet.

After the flying carriage trembled slightly, it instantly transformed into a white rainbow and flew through the air; its speed was far beyond the flying speed of ordinary magic treasures, and it disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Seeing the Wind-Riding Carriage's speed, the others were overjoyed.

Knowing that with this carriage, the spellcasters naturally wouldn't be able to catch up. The heart that had been hanging was finally put down.

"Fellow Daoists, Fengyuan Kingdom should have fallen into the hands of the spellcasters for the most part. Why did you appear here and get blocked by a high-tier spellcaster? You must know, if this place wasn't remote, even if I took action, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so easy to escape." Han Li asked casually while driving the carriage.

The five people looked at each other with different expressions upon hearing this. Lei Lei Wanhe was clearly the leader among them, and after hesitating, he said:

"Senior doesn't know, we were also helpless. We were originally ordered by the Alliance to come here to execute an important mission. As a result, we were delayed for a few days in a certain place, and only after coming out did we discover that Fengyuan Kingdom had been invaded by the Mulan people. Having no choice, we had to choose remote small paths to fly back. But on the way, we still encountered some low-tier spellcasters and had to take action to silence them. Who would have thought that there happened to be such a Nascent Soul stage spellcaster nearby. After wiping out the last low-tier spellcaster, we were discovered by that old monster and hunted down. Although we knew we were no match for him, if we fled separately, we would only be wiped out faster, so we had no choice but to risk our lives. If it weren't for the luck of meeting Senior Han, I'm afraid we really wouldn't have been able to escape death."

As Lei Lei Wanhe spoke words of gratitude, he also sized up this former "Han Junior Nephew" a few times.

To tell the truth, even now, all of this still made him feel as if he were dreaming.

Han Li lost interest in asking further upon hearing this and just gave an indifferent "hmm." But after a while, he asked again:

"Fellow Daoist Lei, is my Master Li Li Huayuan doing well?"

"Senior Han, Junior Brother Li fell in battle against the Mulan spellcasters over a hundred years ago. And his wife, because she failed to form a Core, also passed away when her lifespan reached its limit not long after." These were things that didn't need to be hidden, so Lei Lei Wanhe answered honestly.

"Did none of my fellow disciples form a Core?" Han Li's body trembled slightly upon hearing this, a look of sadness flashing across his face, and he asked again.

"No, although Junior Brother Li's disciples had two or three with good aptitude who advanced to the False Core stage, they ultimately lacked opportunity and failed to form a Core." Lei Lei Wanhe said with a sigh.

Han Li fell completely silent after hearing this. The images of "Yu Kun," "Song Meng," "Zhong Zhong Weiniang," and others flashed through his mind. The past events of their interactions also floated into his mind bit by bit.

After a long while, he exhaled a long breath.

Since these fellow disciples failed to form a Core, there was no need to ask more; most of them had likely passed away by now.

Thinking of what happened at Yellow Maple Valley back then, it felt like just an old dream. The low-tier disciples of Yellow Maple Valley now had likely been replaced several times over.

"Senior Han, I wonder if you have any intention of returning to Yellow Maple Valley." Nie Ying suddenly asked at this time.

"Return to Yellow Maple Valley? I have no interest in that. I am now an elder of the Falling Cloud Sect of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and I am doing quite well there. I don't intend to go back." Han Li's brows jumped lightly, but he said indifferently.

Upon hearing Han Li's words, a look of disappointment flashed on Nie Ying's face, while Lei Lei Wanhe's expression was uncertain, a complex look flashing across it.

The other three were not familiar with Han Li at all and naturally didn't dare to interrupt casually.

"I wonder if Senior knows Xiao Cui'er!" Nie Ying hesitated for a moment before asking again.

"Xiao Cui'er! Naturally I know her; you know that little girl?" Han Li paused, replying somewhat strangely. At the same time, the image of the eccentric little girl appeared in his mind.
