Chapter 69
Reinforcements Arrive
Li Yunfan and the others returned to the Qin residence without incident, and landed directly at the two men's residence from the air.
Li Yunfan then handed over the interrogation to Han Li and returned to his room to rest.
Han Li naturally had no objection to this. He hadn't expended much energy in this battle, and he only made three moves against the demonized giant, two of which involved using a puppet.
However, Li Yunfan didn't actually expend much energy, but he already knew about the Black Fiend Sect's situation, so naturally he didn't want to participate in the interrogation.
About half an hour later, Han Li arrived at Li Yunfan's room, told him the information he had received, and shared his next plan.
Li Yunfan naturally nodded in agreement. After all, although he had killed the demonized giant with the Purple Nether Heart Flame, the Black Fiend Sect leader was not someone who could be killed so easily, not to mention that the other party also had three Blood Servants who were all at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Meanwhile, deep within the capital city of Yue, in a secluded palace...
A man sitting cross-legged in the pool of blood, his face covered by a black robe, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a solemn expression.
"Tie Luo's aura has vanished. It seems the newcomer was quite powerful, capable of killing Tie Luo. It appears the Demon Core has also fallen into their hands..."
After pondering for a while, he moved his lips slightly, seemingly transmitting his thoughts to someone using his divine sense. After a moment, he ended the transmission and closed his eyes again.
……
Right after Li Yunfan and Han Li made their decision, Han Li sent out the latest intelligence he had obtained, and then the two of them stayed in the Qin residence to recuperate.
As for Qin Yan, after being hinted at by Han Li, he declined all invitations to go out and stayed at home, enjoying family time.
Time flew by quickly, day and night, and more than half a month had passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, both Li Yunfan and his companion, as well as the Black Fiend Sect, chose to go into hiding.
Although the other side lost a Blood Servant, they did not launch a large-scale search, and Li Yunfan and Han Li did not enter the imperial city to investigate, as if nothing had happened between the two sides.
However, to Han Li's surprise, and also to his relief, no one from the demonic path had appeared yet. He wondered if they had changed their minds or were too busy dealing with the seven sects to spare any manpower.
Early that morning, Li Yunfan was meditating on his bed when he suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of caution.
Under his divine sense, he discovered that there were actually four Foundation Establishment cultivators standing outside the house.
With his current mid-Foundation Establishment stage and the strength of his divine sense after cultivating the second level of the Great Evolution Technique, he far surpasses that of ordinary late-stage cultivators. Although the four people outside used spells to conceal their auras, he still managed to vaguely sense them.
"Which fellow Daoist has come to visit? Stop sneaking around and show yourself!"
Just then, Han Li, who was in the next room, also sensed the presence of the four people and spoke coldly.
At this moment, Han Li, who was sitting cross-legged in the room, had a solemn expression on his face. He had already released his White Phosphorus Shield and held it in front of him. At the same time, he was holding a Fire Cloud Talisman in his hand, clearly looking as if he was facing a great enemy.
At the same time, he was vaguely worried about Li Yunfan on the other side, since he was able to sense the aura of the newcomer entirely because he had cultivated the nameless incantation he obtained from the old man surnamed Xiao.
That's why he spoke first, partly to remind the person that he knew of their arrival, and partly to remind Li Yunfan.
"Haha! How about that? I told you we couldn't hide it from Junior Brother! He's already entered the mid-stage of the cultivation realm, so don't try to show off your little skills in front of him!"
Han Li and Li Yunfan were very familiar with this voice; it belonged to Song Meng, the fourth senior brother of Li Huayuan.
"However, Eighth Junior Brother entered the mid-Foundation Establishment stage earlier than Junior Brother Han, so why hasn't he sensed us yet?"
After saying his first sentence with a smile, Song Meng muttered something to himself with some doubt.
Just then, the doors of the two rooms in front of the four people creaked open at the same time, and Li Yunfan and Han Li slowly walked out from inside.
"Fourth Senior Brother, although I advanced to the mid-stage earlier, I'm still somewhat inferior to Junior Brother Han. Junior Brother Han has far more supernatural abilities than I do!"
Li Yunfan explained with a smile, while glancing at Han Li who was walking slowly towards him, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.
Han Li's eye twitched slightly. He naturally understood the meaning behind Li Yunfan's words, and couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated.
In fact, after obtaining the nameless mantra, he did consider making a copy for the other party, but after thinking it over, he decided to try practicing it himself first. If there were no problems, he would find a suitable opportunity to teach it to the other party later.
But because of the old Taoist's death and the subsequent events involving the young prince, he temporarily forgot about the matter.
"Junior brother greets all senior brothers and sisters!" Han Li said, cupping his hands in greeting to the four.
He didn't explain anything about the matter. Anyway, he would pass on the nameless incantation to the other party after the Black Fiend Sect matter was over, so it wouldn't make a difference if he waited a little longer, not to mention that there were outsiders here.
"Third Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother, Seventh Senior Sister!" Li Yunfan naturally knew the priorities, so he cupped his hands and said with a smile.
Of the four people in front of him, he was only familiar with his fourth senior brother Song Meng and his sixth senior brother Wu Xuanhao. He had only met the other two a few times.
"Junior Brother Li, you really have impressed your senior sister! And Junior Brother Han, you two are quite famous in Jingu Plain, making Master happy for days!" The only woman among the four said with a smile.
"Senior sister, please stop making fun of me and Junior Brother Han!"
Li Yunfan shook his head with a wry smile and then introduced Han Li.
"Junior brother, this is our third senior brother Liu Jing, and this is our seventh senior sister Zhong Weiniang!"
Han Li glanced at the two of them, then bowed respectfully and said...
"Junior brother greets Third Senior Brother and Seventh Senior Sister! I have long heard of your great names, but I have always missed the chance to meet you. I hope you will not be offended until today!"
He became a disciple of Li Huayuan at the very least and has been diligently cultivating ever since. Both of them have been working outside the sect, so they have never formally met.
