Chapter 182: Sacrifice to Heaven

"So that's it. This can explain why with your cultivation level, you can join the Impermanence Alliance. By the way, do you say that this mask and token were passed down from the ancestors?" Han Li nodded slowly when he heard Bai Suyuan's statement.

"The original owner of this mask was an ancestor of our Bai family, the immortal who served as the elder of the inner sect in Zhulongdao. The reason why our Bai family can become a family of immortal cultivation that secretly manages Baiyou Kingdom was actually because of the ancestor that year. As for the token, it was naturally his." Bai Suyuan explained.

"Since that's the case, why don't you go directly to Zhulongdao to find this immortal ancestor and ask him to kill this demon?" Han Li raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

"According to my grandfather, this ancestor suddenly disappeared thousands of years ago, and there was no news. Several elders in the clan went out to search for it, but they also disappeared together... Since then, the power of my Bai family has gradually disappeared from the same time... It is precisely because of this that the great-grandfather was eager to overcome the tribulation and become a true immortal, so that he was finally taken advantage of by the demons." Bai Suyuan sighed heavily and said.

"I cannot verify what you said for the time being. After I have seen Bai Songshi with my own eyes and confirmed that he was taken over by the demon, I will decide whether to take action." Han Li said after hearing this, after thinking about it.

He actually didn't believe everything about what the girl in front of him said.

In Han Li's opinion, it is not easy for her to hide under the eyes of a true immortal for so many years, so she naturally has more precautions in her heart.

"This... well. The beginning of next month will be the ceremony of worshiping the sky once a year in Baiyou Kingdom. At that time, the emperor will take civil and military officials to the Tai'e Mountains in the territory to worship the sky. Bai Songshi, as the officials, will naturally accompany him. If you do it, stay away from ordinary cities and minimize the impact." Bai Suyuan hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"Okay." Han Li nodded when he heard this, and decided to settle the matter.

"By the way, I don't know what friends call me?" Bai Suyuan's eyes lit up and she asked.

"Li Feiyu."

...

The Taie Mountains, located in the eastern part of Baiyou Kingdom, have always been known for their majestic mountains and beautiful scenery. Among them, Taie Peak is the highest mountain in the entire country. It has always been regarded as the "Dongyue Shenshan". It has a very high status in the minds of the people of Baiyou Kingdom. According to legend, a true immortal who attained Taoism once ascended here in the daytime.

The literati and scholars of Baiyou Kingdom have always been proud to be able to climb Tai'e Peak and recite poems for him. To this day, there are still cliff carvings left by some poems from ancient times to the present. Every year, many people come to see the true face.

However, just one month ago, the entire Taie Peak was surrounded by a large number of soldiers wearing armor and completely banned. No princes and nobles or the people in the city were allowed to climb the mountain.

The Baiyou Kingdom had no objection to this, because they all knew that the emperor was coming to worship the heaven and pray for blessings.

Although Taie Peak was banned, a few days before the festival was held, Dongtai County at the foot of the mountain was already crowded with people coming from nearby counties.

On the day of the official festival, before dawn, the sides of the official road leading to Taie Peak in the county town were squeezed into pieces by the people who came to pay homage to the emperor's holy face.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the emperor and civil and military officials drove straight out of the palace in the county city and headed straight for Taie Peak under the escort of the Imperial Guard.

On the top of Taie Peak, a few incense burners had been set up on an open circular altar, and a brocade red carpet was laid on the ground. There were many officials wearing official uniforms of the Ministry of Rites, each with pious faces and waiting with their hands.

Among these people, there was a middle-aged official with an ordinary face, with his hands hanging in front of him, his eyes constantly turning, and he looked at the surrounding environment.

This person is not someone else, but Han Li who has changed his appearance and lurked in, while Bai Suyuan has hidden himself outside the altar with another method of hiding.

After observing for a while, Han Li now, in addition to the soldiers patrolling the outside, there were more than a dozen Nascent Soul and Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the Minister of Rites beside him was actually a monk in the God Transformation Cultivation Centre.

Han Li knew that most of these people were secretly arranged by the Bai family.

After waiting for about an hour or two, the emperor's car finally arrived at the top of Mount Taie.

I saw that the emperor, who seemed to be just a young man, walked off the carriage with the help of the eunuch, but did not rush to the altar, but stopped beside the carriage, as if waiting for something.

After a while, the car drivers behind him continued to follow.

After the carriage that was driven by the emperor stopped, as soon as the door of the foyer opened, an old man with white beards poked out a palm, and with the support of two followers, he walked out of the carriage tremblingly.

His face looked very old, with wrinkles all over his face, his eyes were turbid, and a few scattered silver floated on his forehead, and his body was hunched, looking like he was about to be idled.

When the emperor saw him slowly walking to his side, he smiled on his face. With his companionship, he slowly walked towards the altar, while the rest of the civil and military officials followed quickly.

Han Li was mixed in the crowd, and the blue light that was not easy to detect in the depths of his eyes flashed. His eyes swept across the old man, and his heart was basically confirmed. This person must be the old teacher Bai Songshi.

Although this person now acts like an elderly person with limited mobility and hides his breath very well, he naturally cannot hide his spiritual consciousness. On the surface, this person is indeed a Mahayana monk.

Apart from deliberately suppressing his cultivation and covering up his aura, he did not have any other inappropriateness.

The emperor and Bai Songshi slowly stepped onto the steps and walked up to the altar one after another. The other civil and military officials walked to the bottom of the altar and stopped.

The old man, who was old and declining, passed by Han Li and other civil servants of the Ministry of Rites, had his feet slightly frozen. From the corner of his eyes, he seemed to have inadvertently glanced into a direction outside the altar. A trace of light seemed to flash in his turbid eyes, but it was just a flash, and then he immediately replied as usual and walked to the center of the altar.

Under the auspices of a senior official of the Ministry of Rites, the ceremony continued as usual, and Han Li pondered and measured it in his heart.

"Fellow Daoist Li, that demon has probably already appeared. Why haven't you taken action yet? Have you really been confused by this demon's trick?" At this time, Bai Suyuan's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, looking a little anxious.

"Fellow Daoist Mo Guang, can you help me take a look..." Han Li lowered his head and looked at his shadow, asking with his mind.

After a silence, there was no change in his shadow. A sound of a demon light sounded in his heart: "Fellow Daoist Han, this person's skill in hiding energy and covering his body is not weak, but according to my observation, he is indeed a member of our demon clan outside the heaven."

When Han Li heard this, his eyes slightly closed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a smile appeared.

At this time, the emperor had already presented three animals under the arrangement of the ritual officials, respected the three pillars of high incense, and then retreated to the chariot beside him.

"...My emperor respects virtue, respects the holy spirit, inherits the heaven and establishes the extreme... Establishes the mind for heaven and earth, establishes destiny for the people, and creates peace for all ages... The prosperity of merit and transformation will never be sad... I will only inherit the order of heaven and use sacrifices to pay tribute..."

Bai Songshi, as the officials, began to face the ministers and recite the sacrifices of heaven on behalf of the emperor. His voice was hoarse, and he looked quite exhausted and hoarse.

When Han Li saw this, he suddenly took a step forward and emerged from the crowd.

The official of the Ministry of Rites next to him was shocked and quickly wanted to stop him, but he was gone by the sight of a flower in front of him.

The next moment, he appeared in the center of the altar.

As soon as his sleeves waved, a blue whirlwind immediately swept out from it, sweeping past like a green dragon, rolling up everyone, including the emperor, and taking them straight to the bottom of the mountain.

The monks lurking among the mortals were all lit up, and they wanted to escape from it, but they were powerless. They could only float up with everyone and flew to the bottom of Taie Mountain.

"Are you the reinforcements invited by that girl?" Bai Songshi stopped reciting the sacrificial texts and turned to look at Han Li.

His originally turbid eyes suddenly became extremely clear, and his hunched body immediately became straightened. His hands were put together and the chaos in front of his forehead was swept away. He replaced it with a strong aura of a powerhouse.

Han Li sneered, and did not answer. His body flashed, suddenly came, punched him straight and smashed him into the head.

When the old man saw the sudden burst of momentum, his eyes twitched slightly, his body flashed, and he retreated dozens of feet.

Han Li's punch fell to the ground of the altar.

With a loud "boom", the entire altar shattered and turned into a piece of powder.

A dozen or so of light flashed around Han Li, and they looked at Han Li one by one.

"Where did the bold madman come from? How dare he attack my ancestor!" An old man in a green robe pointed at Han Li and cursed.

Han Li punched, but he didn't have any trouble again. He just stared at Bai Songshi opposite him without blinking, and didn't even look at the people around him...

These people are all cultivators of the Bai family, and the strongest ones in the late stage of the God Transformation, so he naturally would not care about them.

And at this moment, another slender figure shot from a distance and landed on the already shattered altar. It was pretty and beautiful, wearing a pink lotus skirt, but it was Bai Suyuan.

"Second uncle, uncle... stop. Senior Li was invited back to kill the demon. Don't be bewitched by that devil and lose your life in vain." Bai Suyuan shouted loudly.

"Stop it, you are a villain. Not only did you kill your own grandfather, but you dare to slander the clan leader. You really don't know how to live or die. Today I will clean up the door for my elder brother." The old man in green robe who was called the second uncle by Bai Suyuan was furious and his light lit up on him, and he killed Bai Suyuan.
