Chapter 760: Junior Nephew Xiao

In the past few days, at a certain section of the border between Yu Nation and North Liang Nation, teams of Dharma Master cultivators descended from the sky one after another from two sides separated by dozens of miles. Then, they orderly set up camps in the original strongholds.

Overnight, majestic and strange arrays emerged in large numbers one after another. This place, which was rarely visited by people, became turbulent and filled with killing intent.

Even more small teams of cultivators and Dharma Masters rose into the sky one after another, patrolling around the camp, as if fearing a sudden attack from the other side.

As the days passed, more cultivators and Dharma Masters gathered here, and all kinds of defensive restrictions were spread across both sides of the border, and the atmosphere became increasingly solemn.

But in the center of the border, occasionally patrolling Dharma Masters and cultivators met, and although they looked at each other coldly, they were still able to restrain themselves from making a move.

After all, making a move now was useless for the overall situation, so they all held their breath and waited for the life-and-death battle in the future.

By the sixth day, the arrays and restrictions of both Tiannan and Mulan were almost set up. Everyone began to stay indoors and conserve their energy in the camp. Even the patrolling personnel were greatly reduced for a time. But high-tier cultivators began to appear frequently in the patrolling teams.

The high-level cultivators and Dharma Masters were also nervously planning the final battle strategy in the camp.

The north side of the Tiannan cultivator camp was the direction of Tianyi City, so naturally, there were fewer restrictions than in the Dharma Master direction. But the necessary sentries and patrolling personnel were all present, and even increased or decreased slightly.

Under these circumstances, a team of over a dozen cultivators was flying unhurriedly at a distance of over twenty miles from the camp.

The leading cultivator was a beautiful young woman in her twenties, with Core Formation early-stage cultivation, and the cultivators behind her were at the Foundation Establishment stage.

With the great war imminent, these people didn't dare to be careless. Although it was just a routine patrol mission, the group of people still looked around vigilantly from time to time.

Only the leading young woman had a somewhat composed expression, but she also pushed her spiritual sense to the maximum, sensing any abnormalities in the vicinity.

Suddenly, the young woman's expression moved, her escape light stopped abruptly, and she looked into the distance with surprise.

The other cultivators were startled, and subsequently looked in the same direction like they were facing a great enemy, but they saw nothing.

"Senior Xiao, you...?"

A blue-robed cultivator asked in surprise, but before he could finish his words, a white light flashed in the distant sky, and a light spot appeared there, subsequently shooting toward them.

"What a fast escape speed!" a cultivator exclaimed.

In almost the blink of an eye, the group felt the white light spot enlarge by a few points, and there seemed to be something inside the light.

"It should be some Senior who has arrived. However, according to the regulations, we still have to go up and ask. You all wait here," the young woman's elegant face was full of composure. She ordered unhurriedly.

Subsequently, yellow light flashed on her body, and she flew directly to meet the white light.

Those few cultivators saw this and looked at each other, but no one said anything.

They were not of the same sect as that young woman, and their cultivation and seniority were low. Naturally, they didn't dare to have any opinions.

The young woman only flew out a short distance before stopping her escape light. Because the light spot had already reached her front, and it turned into a dazzling light cluster and stopped abruptly, inside which there seemed to be a strange car-shaped magic tool with figures shaking vaguely.

"Junior Xiao Cui'er of the Yellow Maple Valley, greets Senior. Could Senior please inform me of your identity? Junior is acting under orders, please forgive me," the beautiful young woman, although surprised in her heart, still greeted with a pleasant voice.

"Eh! Xiao Cui'er?" A surprised voice came from the white light.

"Senior knows Junior?" Xiao Cui'er blinked her clear, bright eyes, showing a look of astonishment.

Among the few Core Formation cultivators she knew, it seemed there was no cultivator with this image. However, the voice sounded three parts familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

While this woman was gazing at the light cluster in astonishment, the white light flashed a few times, and the light converged, revealing everything inside.

On a strange white flying car stood two young male and female cultivators.

The man was in a green robe with ordinary features, and the woman was in a white dress with astonishing beauty.

"Martial Uncle Han!" Upon seeing the face of the green-robed man, Xiao Cui'er covered her cherry mouth with her slender hand and exclaimed in surprise.

Her beautiful eyes were full of disbelief!

"Junior, you have also grown up. Compared to before, you are truly vastly different," Han Li looked at the young woman, watching her familiar and beautiful face, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Martial Uncle Han, it's really you! Although Martial Sister Nie and Martial Brother Lei said that Martial Uncle had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, I still found it somewhat hard to believe," Xiao Cui'er said with pleasant surprise, her expression as if she had returned to the young girl's appearance when she first met Han Li.

"Meeting them back then was just a coincidence," Han Li smiled and said lightly.

This woman was introduced into the Yellow Maple Valley by him. Although they didn't have much contact, he felt somewhat different about her. Moreover, this woman was also the direct disciple of Martial Brother Ma back then. Han Li naturally didn't treat her like he treated Nie Ying and Lei Lei Wanhe and others, without any old friendship.

The woman surnamed Song on the side muttered a few words in her heart.

She had vaguely heard people say that this Martial Uncle of hers was originally a disciple of the Yellow Maple Valley. Now it seemed he had met an old acquaintance. And the young woman in front looked intelligent, but she didn't know what relationship she had with this Martial Uncle?

Regardless of how the woman surnamed Song guessed, Han Li and Xiao Cui'er chatted warmly about some past events after they parted back then, including how Xiao Cui'er and the little old man escaped the Demonic Dao's pursuit, returned to the Yellow Maple Valley, Martial Brother Ma's passing, and this woman's accidental Core Formation.

This made Han Li feel the rapid changes of the world.

But after a while, Xiao Cui'er hesitated and couldn't help but ask:

"Martial Uncle, have you really become a Luoyun Sect Elder and will never return?" After saying this, a look of anticipation appeared on Xiao Cui'er's face.

The current Yellow Maple Valley was in an extremely awkward situation. Although there was a Nascent Soul mid-stage ancestor, Ancestor Linghu, sitting in the sect, they were suffering from the lack of other Nascent Soul cultivators to take over. Once his lifespan was exhausted and he passed away, the Yellow Maple Valley's status among the six sects would definitely drop, and their situation would be worrying.

Therefore, not only were Lei Lei Wanhe and others extremely worried, but even Core Formation cultivators like Xiao Cui'er were also filled with worry. Moreover, other cultivators who knew about her and Han Li's relationship also let Xiao Cui'er lobby Han Li when she saw him, perhaps Han Li would be moved if he remembered the old friendship.

Therefore, after the surprise, Xiao Cui'er had to bring up this matter again even though she knew Han Li had refused Lei Lei Wanhe and others.

"Returning is impossible. The Luoyun Sect treats me well. I will not leave. There is no need to say more about this matter," upon hearing Xiao Cui'er's words, the smile on Han Li's face faded, and he shook his head.

"But our Yellow Maple Valley in the future..." Xiao Cui'er's expression dimmed, and she looked helpless.

"You don't need to worry too much. I once made some transactions with that old monster Ancestor Linghu; if the Yellow Maple Valley truly encounters a crisis, I will still take action within a certain range," Han Li sighed and told this woman about the transaction vaguely.

"There is such a thing! Thank you, Martial Uncle!" Xiao Cui'er was stunned first, then immediately said with renewed spirit.

"Let's not talk about these for now. You are Martial Brother Ma's only disciple, and we haven't seen each other for many years. I cannot help but help you a little. This is a magic treasure I obtained from killing other Core Formation cultivators in the past. Although it cannot be used as a natal magic treasure, it has other wonderful uses when refining it to fight enemies. And this bottle of pills is of great effect for your cultivation progress and breaking through bottlenecks; take them together," Han Li pondered for a moment, took out an emerald-green ring and a bottle of pills from his storage bag, and handed them to this woman.

"Thank you, Martial Uncle, for the reward!" Seeing this, Xiao Cui'er hurriedly bowed and thanked him before happily accepting these two items.

"Alright. I still have to go to the camp to meet those old monsters. I won't delay here any longer. Let's meet again if fate allows," Han Li said calmly after waiting for this woman to put away the items. Then, without waiting for her to react, he tapped the flying car under his feet, and immediately white light rose, and Han Li and the woman surnamed Song's figures blurred again in the dazzling light.

"Respectfully send off Martial Uncle Han!"

The young woman wanted to say something else, but seeing this situation, she could only hurriedly bow and watch the light cluster turn into a white light and fly away.

Then the woman stood blankly in place, looking at the direction where the light spot disappeared without moving.

And those subordinates finally flew over.

"Senior Xiao, who was that Senior, was he a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"But looking at his appearance, he seems very young."

As soon as a few cultivators gathered, they asked one after another with great curiosity.

"Don't ask anything. That person is indeed a Nascent Soul stage Senior. He had great kindness to me in the past. He is not someone we can discuss casually. Let's continue the patrol," Xiao Cui'er withdrew her mind, her jade face sank, and she scanned them coldly and impolitely.

The others heard this and immediately shut their mouths.

After leaving Xiao Cui'er, even though the Wind-Riding Car's speed was greatly reduced, it arrived near the camp a moment later. Han Li felt this car was too eye-catching, so he put away this treasure and the two changed to escape light to advance.

The woman surnamed Song sensibly didn't ask about the matter just now, which made Han Li nod secretly.

After flying a short distance, a huge light curtain appeared in front of the two, five-colored, thick and dazzling, covering the entire camp inside.

Before Han Li could bring this woman to descend, another team of patrolling disciples had already hurriedly greeted them.

After verifying the identities of the two, they immediately opened a passage and respectfully let the two enter behind the light curtain.

Once entering the camp, Han Li parted ways with the woman surnamed Song.

This woman had to report to Lu Luo and then go to a certain team of cultivators already arranged to wait for orders. And Han Li went directly to the center of the camp to meet the three great cultivators, Supreme Master Brother Zhiyang and others, who were in charge.

Seeing Han Li arrive as promised, they were naturally extremely satisfied. After expressing their concern, they introduced some arrangements for the great war. Han Li was not very interested in this, listened to a few sentences, and bid farewell.

Then he was assigned to an independent temporary stone house, where he sat cross-legged and conserved his energy.
