"The three fellow Taoists came at the right time. I just received news that a group of magicians has broken through the Tiantai Valley guarded by fellow Taoist Bu, and is heading this way. In at most half a day, the Tiantai Valley will be defeated.
My fellow Taoists will be here soon. We need three fellow Taoists to help us." The bald-browed man was not polite, and after a brief explanation, he made the request.
"This is easy to handle, but it's just a trivial matter. Just leave it to me alone. No need for Fellow Daoist Han and Brother Gu to intervene!" The old man surnamed Ma looked unconcerned and took care of everything.
This made Han Li and Gu Shuangpu look at him in surprise.
"Don't be surprised, fellow Taoists. It's not that Ma wants to be in the limelight, but that he got a new rare treasure some time ago and wants to test its power? You two won't compete with me, right?" The old man twirled his beard and showed his face.
He said with a mysterious look.
"Hey! Fellow Taoist Ma is so sure, Gu certainly won't do anything unnecessary." Gu Shuangpu laughed and said calmly.
Han Li was also standing by, just smiling.
"That's fine, let's let fellow Taoist Han and Brother Gu take a rest first. There's fellow Taoist Lao Ma. However, I'll let Brother Murong accompany fellow Taoist on the journey. The thunder spells they practice are quite powerful.
." The bald-browed man just thought about it briefly, nodded in agreement, and asked the brothers to go together.
The old man had no intention of objecting this time. After all, it was his first time here and it would be easier to do things if he had someone to accompany him.
So next, the old man from Haoran Pavilion and Brother Murong set off immediately to pick up the retreating Nine Nations Alliance monks.
Han Li and Gu Shuangpu, led by the woman named Li and Chong Xuzi, left the hall and arranged a place for them to rest.
Halfway through, Han Li and the dove-faced old man separated and walked away. Under the guidance of the petite female cultivator, Han Li arrived in front of an elegant and secluded small building.
"Senior Han, it is strictly forbidden for low-level disciples to come here. It should be the best place for meditation. Senior, please rest in this building." This pretty and petite female cultivator pointed to the attic in front of her and stood sideways.
Said aside.
"It's indeed good." Han Li nodded, with a trace of satisfaction on his face.
"Senior, is Sister Nie Ying really okay? I haven't seen Senior Sister Nie for a long time." The woman did not leave immediately. Instead, she hesitated and asked.
"Why, you are also familiar with Miss Nie?" Han Li was a little surprised. He looked at the two women carefully and asked calmly.
Only then did Han Li realize that although this was the first time he saw this woman, her beautiful eyebrows and bright eyes looked familiar, giving him a feeling of kindness.
Han Li's fixed gaze made the woman named Li feel a little uneasy. Although she was secretly annoyed, her face still turned red.
"This little girl is able to become a disciple of Huadaowu. It's thanks to Senior Sister Nie's introduction back then. How could I be unfamiliar with this junior?" The petite female cultivator lowered her head slightly and explained.
"Ying Ning! Li Ying Ning?" Hearing this, Han Liwen couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face.
"Why, has senior heard this junior's name before?" Li Yingning heard the strangeness in Han Li's mouth and couldn't help but raise her head again. She asked in shock.
"What's your mother's name? Which country is she from?" Han Li did not reply to the woman. Instead, he took a deep breath and asked.
"My mother, Mo Yuzhu, was born in the Yue Kingdom. Why do you ask this, senior?" The woman hesitated for a while. She felt that there was really nothing to hide, and vaguely remembered something before she replied hesitantly.
"Do you still have that psychic jade pendant on you?" Han Li was silent for a while and then said the words that made this petite woman's heart skip a beat. She suddenly felt a little enlightened.
"Yes, I have been keeping it close to my heart since I was a child." The woman immediately replied, and then turned around with a blush on her face under Han Li's gaze.
After groping inside her arms for a while, she took out a white jade pendant, held it in both hands and turned it back.
Han Li glanced at it, stretched out his hand, and the jade pendant flew towards him as if it had wings and landed in his hand.
After touching the smooth surface of the jade pendant with two fingers, Han Li let out a long sigh, with a look of confusion on his face.
After a while, he spoke again:
"I think you should know who I am. How did your mother tell you back then?"
Han Li looked at the female cultivator in front of him again. This time because he knew it well, he finally found some shadows of black jade beads on her face. This girl's face was slightly less beautiful than his mother's when she was young. But the details After watching it, there is another kind of heroic beauty.
"My mother didn't say much at that time. She just said that it was a gift from one of her good friends who cultivated immortality. She didn't say much else. In the years since I entered the world of immortality, I have asked people to identify the jade pendant several times. But there was no such thing. I got some useful information. Unexpectedly, it turned out that this jade pendant was given by my senior, who was actually a monk from the Luoyun Sect." Li Yingning murmured, his face uncertain, as if he was at a loss.
"I joined the Luoyun Sect in recent years, but I didn't practice in Yue Kingdom or other places before. It's normal that you don't have any news about me. However, how could you join Huadaowu? Logically speaking, you show up I'm not surprised at all in the Yuling Sect." Han Li touched his nose and said with a wry smile.
"It's not surprising why this junior joined the Yuling Sect." Li Yingning was stunned after hearing this.
"You don't know anything about your father?" Han Li was a little startled when he heard this.
"The younger generation really doesn't know much about my father. Not long after I can remember, the whole family had an accident. Both my grandfather and father died early in the accident. Only my mother took me away from the country of Yue and wandered for a long time. , and just settled down in the Nine-Nation Alliance." The goddess' expression dimmed and she said with a forced smile.
"That's it! It seems that it was probably related to the internal fight within the Demonic Path, and your parents suffered the disaster in Yuchi. After all, the person in charge of Yue Kingdom now is not the Yuling Sect, but the Ghost Spirit Sect monks." Han Li nodded, as if a little bit. Said clearly.
"Infighting within the demonic realm..." The woman opposite her face was full of confusion, looking somewhat puzzled.
When Han Li saw this, he had no intention of explaining it. After handing the jade pendant back to the woman, he smiled slightly:
"I have kept this psychic jade with you for so many years, so naturally I will not take it back. Back then, before I entered the secular world and entered the world of immortality, I was half of your mother's senior brother. From now on, just call me Uncle Han. .”
"Uncle Han!"
Li Yingning hesitated a little when he heard the words. After his big eyes flashed a few times, he still called out in a low voice, his face turning slightly red.
However, an elder at the Nascent Soul stage appeared out of thin air. After feeling embarrassed, this woman was naturally very happy and even felt a little secretly happy.
"Since you call me uncle, I can't express any regrets. There are two bottles of elixirs here, which are useful for monks in the elixir formation stage to break through the bottleneck. You can take them." Han Li showed a kind smile and said
Turning his palm over, two more jade bottles appeared in his palm, and he gave them to the woman with a smile.
For Han Li, he would not be stingy if he could help his old friend.
"Thank you, uncle." The woman took the medicine bottle, her face was full of surprise, and her voice was sincere and crisp.
"What magic weapon are you using now? Is it the flying knife that comes out of your royal weapon? What materials is it made of?" Han Li thought for a while and asked again.
"Yes, this is the magic weapon. The flying knife is made of flaming iron and Xuanying crystal. It is quite powerful." Li Yingning was stunned for a moment and replied a little puzzled.
"In normal times, that flying knife would be enough. But now that we have to fight a magician, it might be a bit dangerous to rely on this weapon alone." Han Li shook his head and said.
"But now, even if my uncle gives me another magic weapon, I won't have time to refine it." Li Yingning said helplessly.
When Han Li heard this, he pondered with a thoughtful look on his face.
But a moment later, he patted a certain spirit beast bag on his waist, and a large group of three-color gold-eating insects swarmed out of the bag, and turned into a ten-foot-large insect cloud amidst a buzzing sound, floating above Han Li.
Top of head.
Han Li's eyes flashed, he touched the insect cloud with his finger, and a small piece of the insect cloud broke away and flew out alone. Then he raised his hand, and a cyan magic weapon hit it.
The small group of gold-eating insects gathered together under the green flash, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a three-color ball the size of a fist, shining brightly, and slowly fell into Han Li's hand.
"Put this thing away. It is the spirit insect that I have carefully cultivated. Whenever you encounter an enemy that is difficult to deal with, throwing the ball out should save your life." Han Li threw the ball.
He gave it to this woman and said solemnly.
"Thank you, Uncle Han, for your kindness!" Li Yingning was already dumbfounded. Now after hearing Han Li's words, she thanked Han Li with great gratitude, and then took the three-color ball.
The last doubt in this woman's heart disappeared without a trace in the treasure gifted by Han Li.
Only then did she truly believe that Han Li's previous words were true.
Otherwise, without any connection, who would give such a valuable thing as a gift.
"Okay, you go down first. I'm going to meditate for a while." After doing all this, Han Li put away the remaining insect clouds again and waved to the woman.
After traveling all night for such a long time, his mana was really not full and he needed to recover it.
"Uncle Han, you should have a good rest. If the army of magicians comes, Ying Ning will inform the uncle." Li Ying Ning's words now revealed a hint of closeness.
