Recognizing a Master and Taking in a Slave

At this moment, cold sweat poured down Sun Ergou's face, and he cursed himself for being careless.

These two people in front of him could easily wipe him out with a flick of their fingers. He actually tried to play some tricks. Fortunately, this Young Master Han remembered their past relationship and didn't kill him outright.

Han Li stared at Sun Ergou until his face turned slightly pale and his eyes were filled with fear. Only then did he look away and say the words that made the other man's body tremble and his heart ecstatic.

"Alright, from now on you can continue being the gang leader. Unless something special happens, I won't come looking for you. But since we part today, I don't know when we'll meet again, so keep this safe. If you have any descendants in the future, they can use this to acknowledge me. As long as your descendants are willing to continue serving me, I will guarantee them a lifetime of wealth and honor!"

As Han Li spoke, he took out a blank talisman and tore it in half with a "whoosh." He handed one half to Sun Ergou and kept the other half for himself.

Upon hearing Han Li's words, Sun Ergou was first stunned, then showed surprise. When he heard the last sentence, he was overjoyed and knelt down in front of Han Li, kowtowing three times. Only then did he raise his head and say very seriously.

"Thank you for your great kindness, young master! Please rest assured, the entire Sun Ergou clan is willing to serve you as our master for eternity, and will never go back on our word! If we break this oath, we will surely suffer the calamity of our entire clan being wiped out!"

Han Li hadn't expected such a strong reaction from the other party, but after a moment's thought, he immediately understood.

To Sun Ergou, his words just now undoubtedly guaranteed the prosperity and wealth of the Sun family for generations to come, ensuring the long-term prosperity of his family. Naturally, the other party genuinely wanted to rely on Han Li.

Seeing this, Li Yunfan had an idea. He took out a dark red round token from his body and said to Sun Ergou with a smile.

"Sun Ergou, your master and I are sworn brothers. Now that you have acknowledged my second brother as your master, I wonder if you would be willing to have another master."

Sun Ergou knelt on the ground, his face full of astonishment. Then, an overwhelming sense of excitement welled up inside him, and his body trembled slightly.

The thought that his Sun family would have two cultivators backing them up made his breathing quicken. However, he was not blinded by excitement. Instead, he turned to look at Han Li, since the other party was now his master.

He could imagine that his hasty agreement might displease his master, Han Li, and cause him some resentment.

When Han Li heard Li Yunfan's words, he looked at him with some surprise. Although he was a little puzzled as to why Li Yunfan would take in Sun Ergou, a mere mortal, he knew that Li Yunfan must have his reasons for doing so.

After sensing Sun Ergou's questioning gaze, he turned his head and said with a smile.

"My elder brother and I are sworn brothers, and we are inseparable. Since my elder brother is also willing to take you as his servant, you can accept it without worry."

"Sun Ergou is also willing to serve the master for generations!" Upon hearing this, Sun Ergou was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to kowtow three more times to Li Yunfan.

Li Yunfan chuckled and tossed the token in his hand over, saying...

"This is my identity token. You can use this token to find me in the future, or go directly to Tongyuan Mountain in Xi Kingdom to find the Li family. As long as you show the token, they will recognize you."

Although Sun Ergou had always lived in Jiayuan City, he still knew a little about some of the countries surrounding Yue Kingdom, and naturally knew the location of Xi Kingdom.

However, it is too far from the Yue Kingdom. Without the help of cultivators, it would be difficult for a mortal to arrive safely.

So he could only silently memorize the words "Li Family of Tongyuan Mountain in Xiguo" and decided to record them in the family genealogy in the future so that they would be remembered for generations.

Afterwards, Li Yunfan and Han Li left the Siping Gang with a respectful farewell from Sun Ergou.

Li Yunfan had his own reasons for deciding to take Sun Ergou in as a disciple.

Although the Sun family members nowadays seem to be ordinary people who can't offer him any help, he knows that their great-great-grandson eventually joined the Luoyun Sect.

The fact that he was able to safely leave Yue Kingdom and travel such a long distance to Xi Kingdom under the control of the Ghost Spirit Sect indicates that he had some fortuitous opportunities.

Moreover, he was about to set off for Xi Kingdom, and having a servant to help him gather information would be somewhat beneficial to him.

You must understand that for him to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Burning Heaven Technique, he needs to absorb and refine nine kinds of spiritual fire. If he were alone, it would probably take him a very long time to find any information about spiritual fire in the vast world of cultivation.

Although we can use the power of the family to search, having another person with whom we have a chance to help us investigate might bring us a pleasant surprise in the future.

As the saying goes, you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket; you have to cast a wide net to catch more fish.

As night fell, Han Li had quietly entered the Li residence, while Li Yunfan sat cross-legged in a grove outside the city, waiting.

After about half an incense stick's time, Li Yunfan's brows twitched, and he opened his eyes. His divine sense had already sensed Han Li's figure.

Sure enough, Han Li landed from the sky a short while later.

"All done?" Li Yunfan asked with a smile.

"Yes, the Five Colors Sect Master is indeed in the manor. I just didn't expect that Mo Yuzhu from the Mo family had already married his son and given birth to a daughter." Han Li nodded calmly and said.

"So you're letting him go?"

A cold smile appeared on Han Li's lips as he shook his head and said.

"I'm only sparing his life for now, but I've already injected a heartworm into his body. In a year or two, he'll die of heartache."

Li Yunfan smiled and nodded, and then the two set off again, heading to the place where Qu Hun had stayed, as mentioned by Sun Ergou.

High in the sky above a mountain peak a hundred miles away from Jiayuan City, Han Li took out the Soul-Guiding Bell and slowly poured spiritual power into it. After seeing the small bell emit a faint white light, he made a hand seal with his other hand and sent it into the small bell. He then uttered a soft "Go," and the Soul-Guiding Bell trembled slightly, emitted a clear ring, and then sped off in a certain direction.

Han Li smiled slightly upon seeing this and controlled the Divine Wind Boat to follow closely behind. Li Yunfan also rode the Cloud Piercing Boat to follow along.

The two followed Yin Hun Zhong Fei for twenty or thirty miles before, under his guidance, they finally saw Qu Hun sitting cross-legged on a small hilltop.

Sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations of the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining emanating from the other party, Han Li's expression darkened, and a hint of murderous intent crept into his eyes.

Although Qu Hun is a refined corpse, he was Zhang Tie, who joined the Seven Mysteries Sect with Han Li and became a disciple of Doctor Mo.

Qu Hun held a special place in Han Li's heart. Now, seeing Qu Hun's appearance, it was indeed as Li Yunfan had said, that he had been possessed. How could this not fill him with rage?

Just then, Qu Hun, who was meditating cross-legged, opened his eyes and muttered to himself with a joyful expression.

Upon hearing this, Han Li coldly replied, "It seems you are quite satisfied with this body!"
