The closest city to Changzhou is a large city called Yehua.
This city is thousands of miles away from the Wanling Mountains, but there are still many monks who are unwilling to sleep in the wild and live in it. A small sect of immortal cultivators who originally secretly occupied this city was so frightened that all the disciples took back the mountain gate.
Everything in this city has become deaf and dumb.
Although there are many immortal cultivators gathered in this city, there are so many inns in this city that there is no problem for these few cultivators to stay.
One of them is called Hongfu Inn, which is an ordinary one among these inns.
Two waves of monks also stayed inside, and each rented two independent rooms with yards behind the inn.
In a room outside one of the wing rooms, there were three people gathered around a wooden table, discussing something.
These three people are all young and beautiful female cultivators. They are Zi Ling and Mei Ning, who were the two girls Tian Yicheng and Han Li broke up with at the beginning. The last one is naturally the woman surnamed Song who was friends with them.
At this time, Zi Ling looked dignified and beautiful, but she had obviously used secret techniques to hide her charming and unparalleled true appearance. It looked like she was just an ordinary female cultivator with some beauty.
The three women looked solemn now and were whispering something.
There were white lights flashing on the walls around the house, which seemed to be restricted to prevent others from eavesdropping on their conversation.
"Sister Song, haven't you heard from Brother Han yet? There is not much time left before the miasma dissipates. If Brother Han doesn't show up, he may miss the best opportunity to enter the Valley of Fallen Demons." Zi Lingdai frowned.
, asked with a slightly sad look.
The person she asked was naturally the only woman named Song who was sitting opposite and wearing a white dress.
"Sister Zi Ling, it's not that you don't know. More than two years ago, Master Cheng of our sect claimed that Uncle Han had gone into seclusion to heal his injuries. But in fact, I vaguely knew that Uncle Master had gone to the far west. Although I didn't know where Uncle Han went.
What's the point of planting a place? But just traveling back and forth takes more than a year. This can't be rushed. Besides, there are still several months. I have already left the exact contact address in the sect. As long as the master uncle
As soon as we come back, we will be found immediately. As long as Uncle Master wants to come back on time, no monk in the far west can keep Master Uncle Han now." The woman surnamed Song smiled slightly and said calmly.
"It's hard to talk about this matter. Even if fellow Taoist Han has a great cultivation level, there are some things that cannot be solved by a high level of cultivation." Zi Ling sighed and couldn't help but think of what happened in the Land of Netherworld. But his eyes changed and he immediately continued.
:
"Sister Song, you now say 'Uncle Han' when you open your mouth and say 'Uncle Han' when you don't. It seems that you suddenly have an abnormal respect for Brother Han. In the past, you didn't have such an expression when talking about this Uncle Han."
As Zi Ling spoke, a hint of playfulness appeared on her charming face.
The woman surnamed Song blushed slightly, but she immediately said calmly:
"If Sister Zi Ling can also kill the top monks in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, I will also be so respectful to Sister Zi Ling. Uncle Han is now second only to the three major monks in Tiannan. As a junior, I should be more respectful.
What’s weird?”
"Hehe! Of course it's not surprising. Even my little sister was shocked when she heard about these achievements of Brother Daoist Han. Brother Han was still an alchemy monk like my little sister ten years ago, but now he has such amazing magical powers.
, even requires us to look up to him. It’s really unbelievable. If I had known this, it would be better to force sister Mei to marry him as his concubine. Then sister Mei Ning’s future cultivation path will definitely be smooth." Zi Ling said with a smile.
said.
Mei Ning on the side heard this, her cheeks flushed and her face flushed. But she spat lightly, but she still didn't say anything. There was just a hint of melancholy in the depths of her bright eyes.
Han Li had asked her to choose it at the beginning. Unfortunately, she hesitated and missed the opportunity.
Now that Han Li has such a great reputation, it is natural that she cannot bring up this matter easily.
"Sister Mei Ning almost became a concubine for Master Han! This is the first time I have heard of this. I have always thought that Uncle Master and Sister Zi Ling might be related. After all, with my sister's peerless appearance, I believe it.
There are still men in the world who are not tempted by this." The woman surnamed Song was surprised at first, but then she teased Zi Ling with a chuckle.
"Hmph! At that time, I didn't know that fellow Taoist Han had such great magical powers. If I had known, I might have committed myself to him long ago. If I were to be a dual cultivation partner of fellow Taoist Han, he would definitely be much better than me who is slowly cultivating now."
Zi Ling pursed her lips and said with a half-smile. It made people wonder whether what she said was true or false.
This made the woman surnamed Song, who had always been a bit reserved, dumbfounded when she heard this, and she couldn't even laugh or cry.
"However, Brother Han's magical power has become so high. If he really agrees to help, there is a high chance that he can get the Lingzhu Fruit. Sister Song, you really decided not to enter the Valley of Fallen Demons. You know that Sister Mei Ning doesn't want to
She went because there was a sudden surge in the number of monks entering the valley. With her level of cultivation, it was too dangerous to enter." Zi Ling hesitated for a moment and said slowly.
"I've thought about it again and again. I'm not quite the same as you two. Although I'm only in the early stage of pill formation, I'm already at the top of the early stage. It only takes twenty or thirty years of hard work to reach this level. It's not worth it.
I am taking such a big risk. As for the other treasures in the valley, I have to pay for them with my life. I still have some self-awareness." Mei Ning thought for a while and replied seriously.
"Now that Sister Song has made up her mind, I will no longer persuade you. In fact, if I really can't wait for Fellow Taoist Han to come, I won't dare to enter the valley alone. After all, there are more high-level monks entering the valley now, and the danger has greatly increased. Seizing treasures and killing people
There must be a lot of things going on here. If I, a monk in the early stage of pill formation, go in alone, it would be like a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth. I am still so confused." Zi Ling gave a wry smile and said in frustration.
These words stunned Mei Ning and the woman named Song opposite.
"The news about the Ghost Spirit Sect suddenly leaked out. This is something no one expected. At first, I even thought it was sister Zi Ling who deliberately leaked the information so that she could fish in troubled waters." A strange color flashed across the face of the woman surnamed Song.
He murmured to himself.
"Fish in troubled waters? What's the use of fishing in troubled waters in this kind of thing? Of course, the fewer monks who enter the valley, the better. Only in this way can we get in front of the Ghost Spirit Gate and pick off the Spirit Candle Fruit by surprise." Zi Lingjiao snorted.
He didn't look angry.
"Oh! Wasn't the news released by fellow Taoist Zi Ling? It seems that someone else did this." A familiar man's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Uncle Han"
"Brother Han"
The woman surnamed Song and Zi Ling were startled at first, and then they suddenly called out Han Li's name, with surprise on their faces.
Zi Ling opened his hand and hit the door with a spell.
Suddenly the wooden door flashed with white light, and the door slowly opened inwards.
A young man in his twenties, wearing a half-worn green robe, stood there with his hands behind his back. He looked at the three beauties in the room with a smile on his lips.
This man was none other than Han Li, who had returned from the Far West after more than two years.
There was also a yellow bamboo tube about a foot long behind his back. I don't know what was inside, but it was slung across his back with no intention of putting it into a storage bag.
If you take a closer look, you will find that Han Li himself is slightly different from before. His entire mental temperament has changed a lot, and he appears more calm and composed, giving people an unfathomable feeling.
"See Uncle Han!" The woman surnamed Song didn't have time to think too much. She hurriedly stepped forward, bowed her hands and said respectfully.
"Brother Han, you're finally here. My little sister thought that fellow Taoist was caught up in something and couldn't catch up in time!" A slight blush appeared on Zi Ling's jade face, and she stood up to greet him a little uneasily.
This woman doesn't know how long Han Li has been here. Could it be that what he just said was heard by him?
Thinking of the words that she was willing to "promise with her body" just now, even though Zi Ling is usually generous and clever, she now felt shy and a little embarrassed.
"Since I promised you, I will naturally go to the appointment on time." Han Li smiled slightly, looked at the woman meaningfully, and walked into the room calmly.
Mei Ning also bit her red lips and came over to greet Han Li.
Han Li waved his hand and let him do it, then walked to an empty wooden chair and invited everyone to sit down.
Zi Ling's expression quickly returned to normal, and he immediately sat down calmly. The woman surnamed Song hesitated for a moment before sitting down on the chair as well.
"Brother Han, when did you return to Tiannan and the Far West? Your trip went smoothly!" Zi Ling did not mention the Falling Demon Valley immediately, but instead asked Han Li about Han Li with a chuckle.
And looked at Han Li again with a strange look.
"I encountered some minor trouble in the Far West. Although it was successfully resolved, it took a little time. Otherwise, I should have come back half a year ago." Han Li said with a smile.
Upon hearing what Han Li said, Zi Ling and the woman named Song couldn't help but look at each other, feeling a little curious.
It was definitely not an ordinary matter for Han Li to call it a minor trouble. But seeing that Han Li had no intention of saying anything about it, the two women were both very smart, so they naturally did not pursue the matter any further.
"I just heard you say that it seems that only Miss Zi Ling is willing to go to the Devil's Valley. Master Nephew Song and Miss Mei Ning have both changed their minds. Is this serious?" Han Li looked at the other two girls.
, asked with a normal expression.
"Since my uncle already knows, my nephew naturally doesn't dare to hide anything. After careful discussion with fellow Taoist Mei Ning, I still feel that this trip is too dangerous, so it's better to give up on it. I don't want to do it just for a mere twenty or thirty years.
Because of his hard work, he would take such an unnecessary risk. Not long ago, Taoist friend Mei Ning got a bottle of elixir that was very helpful for forming pills. He didn’t want to take this risk. After all, he was the number one in Tiannan in Falling Demon Valley.
The reputation of this dangerous place is no joke. The Ling Candle Fruit is deep in the valley, so the danger is doubled."
