Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-One Heavenly Demon Seized the House
"Since the token is fine, shouldn't fellow Taoist tell me what the specific content of the mission is?" Han Li said directly without any intention of turning around.
"Before this, there is something else that needs to be confirmed before we can decide whether to entrust the task to you." The fat shopkeeper said with a change of tone.
"What's the matter?" Han Li frowned slightly when he heard this.
"Fellow Daoist's cultivation. I need to confirm first whether the fellow Daoist really has the ability to complete the task?" The fat shopkeeper stared at Han Li and said slowly.
When Han Li heard this, he no longer suppressed his own breath. After a layer of green light flowed over his body, the aura of the early stage of the True Immortal Realm was released without any concealment.
Although he only released a little, the fat shopkeeper who was unprepared for a while still changed his face and flushed, and he looked a little unable to breathe.
Seeing this, Han Li quickly withdrew his breath, but a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
The fat shopkeeper's appearance was obviously transformed by the mask of the Impermanence Alliance, so he covered up his breath. Even if his spiritual consciousness is so powerful, he would not be able to explore his cultivation without exploring it in depth.
And the breath he released was well controlled, just a little, how could the other party react so much?
"If you guess correctly, you should be a cultivator in the early stage of the True Immortal Realm, right?" The fat shopkeeper still had a pale face at this moment, but after taking a few deep breaths, he also returned to a little bloody color, and then said.
Han Li didn't say anything, just nodded silently.
"Oh... If this is the case, I advise fellow Taoists not to take on this task." A trace of disappointment flashed in the fat shopkeeper's eyes and sighed.
"Why is this? The previous mission stated that as long as you are a cultivator in the true fairyland, you can do so, but you did not require a specific realm." Han Li said with some confusion.
"To be honest with fellow Taoists, the content of the mission I have assigned actually needs to kill someone. As far as I know, that person is also in the early stage of the True Immortal Realm, but his methods are not comparable to those of the same level of cultivators. I am afraid that fellow Taoists will defeat him, but they will lose their lives." The fat shopkeeper shook his head and said.
"If a cultivator of the same level is still confident that he can fight, and even if he loses, he will never lose his life. Fellow Taoist can explain the content of the mission with confidence. He has made up his mind and will not retreat." Han Li smiled when he heard this.
Seeing that his attitude was firm and not like being fake, the fat shopkeeper forced himself to dispel his doubts and said:
"This... OK. The person who needs to be killed by fellow Taoists is named Bai Songshi, which is the current assistant teacher of Baiyou Kingdom. As long as the fellow Taoists can successfully kill this person, they will receive the reward they promised."
"The Taishi of the Mortal Kingdom? Isn't there no allow immortal cultivators to interfere in secular affairs in Zhulongdao? As a true immortal, how could this person become an important minister of the country?" Han Li was stunned at first when he heard this, and then asked.
"Fellow Daoist should not be our Gu Yun Great Six?" The fat shopkeeper did not answer Han Li directly, but asked back.
"No," Han Li admitted calmly.
"That's a big wonder... fellow Taoists don't know that the number of mortals above Guyun Da 6 can be counted by trillions, and there are not tens of millions of secular countries of all sizes built, and there are also millions. Countries like Baiyou Kingdom seem to be controlled and managed by secular royal families on the surface, but in fact, there are one or two immortal cultivation families secretly behind them, and they are the real people in power." The fat shopkeeper explained.
"So, the family where Bai Songshi is located is the actual ruler of Baiyou Kingdom?" Han Li nodded thoughtfully and asked.
"Yes. In fact, behind these immortal cultivators, there are also higher-level immortal cultivators support them. However, because of some conventional rules, if it were not for the disaster of the country's destruction and the seeds, these immortal cultivators generally would not interfere with the rise and fall of secular countries. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary mortals, the influence of these immortal cultivators was not noticed at all." The fat shopkeeper pointed and continued.
"If this is the case, will I attack Bai Songshi, which will attract the sect forces behind him? It will even attract Zhulongdao's attention." Han Li said in confusion.
"Fellow Taoist can rest assured about this. What I want you to kill is not the real white pine stone." The fat shopkeeper waved his hand and said.
Han Li was confused when he heard this and was about to ask, but the fat shopkeeper continued:
"What I asked you to kill is actually an extraterritorial demon. When the real Bai Songshi passed the tribulation and ascended to immortality, he had taken advantage of the situation and took over his body. In order not to attract attention, this demon actually had the cultivation level of the early stage of the True Immortal Realm, but he had been suppressed in the Mahayana stage, and he..."
"I have something to do. If there is really a demon in my opinion, he will definitely act secretly and will not reveal any news. How can fellow Taoist know so clearly?" Han Li raised his eyebrows slightly, interrupted his words and asked.
"This..." The fat shopkeeper opened his mouth, but was unable to speak.
"What fellow Taoist said is really incredible. If you cannot further explain the reason, please forgive me and it is difficult to believe it." Han Li said lightly.
When the fat shopkeeper heard this, he lowered his head and fell into deep thought, and said nothing for a while.
Han Li did not urge him, but just waited quietly.
After a long silence, the fat shopkeeper slowly raised his head, as if he had made an important decision, and his eyes became firm.
He raised his hands and reached out to both sides of his cheeks. He gently supported him and took off a green rabbit mask covered with spiritual patterns under the rippling blue light.
As the mask was removed, the fat shopkeeper also lit up a green light at the same time. With a wave of twisting, his figure suddenly contracted and his waist became thinner.
After a while, the fat shopkeeper before disappeared, and replaced by a young girl who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.
This woman is bent eyebrows, almond eyes, thin lips, a nose, pretty face, and a baby fat on her cheeks. She is wearing a very fit pink lotus skirt, looking fresh and refined.
However, if you look at the girl's eyebrows and eyes, you can see some slightly wrinkled marks, which makes her tender girl's aura slightly fold out of thin air, and instead adds a touch of sadness that makes people feel distressed.
Han Li looked at the changes of the person in front of him, but there was no change in his face, but a trace of suddenness flashed in his heart.
The aura that radiated from the girl's body at this moment was only in the late stage of the God-turning God.
No wonder I just released a little breath before, which made him react so much.
But with such cultivation, how did you join the Impermanence Alliance?
But after he looked carefully for a while, he found something unusual on the girl, but he couldn't see clearly what was unusual in the moment.
"There are rules in the Impermanence Alliance that members are not allowed to inquire about their identities. Do you know that? I am following the real body, I believe that fellow Taoists can see some sincerity, right?" the girl said, her voice extremely pleasant.
As for a true immortal standing in front of him whose cultivation is much higher than that of him, this woman did not show any timid and nervous expression, and was still calm and composed.
"Let's explain my previous confusion first." Han Li continued unmoved.
"To be honest with fellow Taoist, I'm named Bai Suyuan, who is the great-granddaughter of Bai Songshi. Back then..." The girl took a deep breath and said.
In the girl's narration, Han Li roughly figured out the whole story.
It turned out that the girl's parents died in an accident in her early years because of her travels. Because she was precocious and had excellent roots in her practice, she was deeply loved by Bai Songshi, the ancestor of the clan, so she was kept by her side and has always been deeply loved.
Later, the ancestor went into seclusion and rushed to the real fairyland. When he was overcoming the tribulation, he was tragically taken over by the demons. No one could see that, but she was the first to show it. But when she told the people of her clan about this, no one believed it, and even her biological grandfather did not believe it.
At the beginning, the demon was still restrained and there was not much movement. After it completely merged with Bai Songshi's memory, it gradually began to control the entire Bai family and, with the identity of the Grand Master, reached out to the Baiyou court.
Since then, Baiyou has had frequent strange things in China. From time to time, people from one city and another suddenly disappeared. As the Bai family, as the cultivator of the country, naturally sent people to investigate, but found nothing.
"Later, as the demons acted more and more strangely, some people in the family finally found out the abnormality and began to investigate the matter, but the demons took the initiative to attack them first and eliminated them one by one. The demons took a fancy to my talent and wanted to cultivate me into a cultivation cauldron, so they kept imprisoning me in the forbidden area of the clan. When my grandfather rescued me, he was killed by the demons..."
When Bai Suyuan said this, she couldn't help but stop, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, please feel sorry for me." Seeing this, Han Li's expression did not change and he comforted him.
"When I escaped, my grandfather stole the mask and ancestor tokens passed down from my ancestors and handed them over to me, and told me to join the Zhulongdao to practice with the token, and to come back to avenge the family when I have the ability. But I am just a mere Yuanhua Divine Stage. Even if I practice sleeplessly, I don't know when I can compete with the devil..." After a moment, I heard the girl continue to say.
"So you are deploying this mission in the Impermanence Alliance and come to find someone to help you kill him?" Han Li nodded and asked.
He deeply agreed with this woman's statement. Not to mention the True Immortal Realm, even from the God Transformation Stage to the Void Refining Stage, he also needs to pass the "Five Elements Integration" level. Han Li knew the difficulties, let alone the heavenly tribulation after the Mahayana.
