Chapter 702 A Lesson

Just as Yun Zhao's voice faded, a faint voice suddenly echoed from within the Gray Lizard Clan's main tent:

"Those who don't want to die, clear the path."

The voice was not loud and carried no emotion, but was full of an unquestionable tone, causing the somewhat boisterous scene to suddenly quiet down. Everyone's gazes were first drawn to the tent, then quickly shifted to Yun Zhao.

Yun Zhao's pupils constricted as he stared intently at the Gray Lizard Clan's tent, but his face remained expressionless, as if lost in thought.

The atmosphere nearby became somewhat tense.

"Your Excellency speaks with great confidence, but what skill is there in hiding your head and showing your tail? If you have the ability, show yourself," Yun Zhao said after a moment of silence, with a cold laugh.

Before he could finish speaking, a gray light shot out from the tent, instantly traversing the sky and appearing before Yun Zhao, transforming into a gray sword light that descended.

Yun Zhao's expression changed drastically in an instant. He roared madly as black light burst forth from his body, instantly transforming into countless black flames that adhered to his body, protecting him within.

Countless twisted faces appeared in the black flames, emitting shrill screams.

But at that moment, the gray sword light mercilessly struck down, and with a blur, transformed into nine identical sword lights, striking down from all directions.

The black flames immediately dissipated upon contact with the sword light, failing to have any effect.

"Ah!" Yun Zhao cried out in horror, opening his mouth to spit out something, and a black light flashed within.

But before he could expel anything, the nine sword lights had already pierced through his body.

Yun Zhao let out a miserable shriek as nine bloody holes appeared on his body, and he fell backward onto the ground.

The nine sword lights flashed and vanished into thin air, as if they had never appeared.

The entire scene fell into a deathly silence!

Everyone nearby was dumbfounded, mouths agape as they stared at the scene before them, unable to react for a moment.

After all, in their minds, Yun Zhao, who was in the early True Immortal Realm, was an extremely powerful being, a true immortal. Yet, he was knocked down in a single exchange, without even the ability to fight back. Just how strong was the person who attacked?

They could not imagine, nor did they dare to think.

The shock in their hearts at that moment was unimaginable.

Now, everyone's gazes towards the Gray Lizard Clan were completely different.

And the Gray Lizard Clan, including the Chieftain Xi Yan, after a brief daze, were both surprised and delighted, feeling a sense of vindication as they looked at the fallen Yun Zhao.

"Xi Yan, don't delay any longer, set up camp quickly," a cold voice echoed from the tent once more.

"Yes!" Xi Yan replied happily, waving his hand.

The Gray Lizard Clan's members were now flushed with excitement as the group continued forward.

The Dark Serpent Clan quickly moved out of the way, two elders of the Great Ascension Stage supporting Yun Zhao from the ground, retreating to the side.

Some True Immortal Realm existences among the other nearby tribes also looked towards the tent, their faces showing reverence.

That sword just now was as swift as lightning, and its power was fearsome. They reckoned that they would have difficulty receiving it.

"Who dares to cause trouble here!" At that moment, an angry roar exploded like thunder, and several figures appeared out of thin air in a flash of white light. They were the men of the Three Miao Chieftains, and the one roaring was Miao Kui.

However, next to Miao Kui was a girl in white robes.

This girl wore a five-colored phoenix crown on her head, and her facial features were almost identical to those of humans, without any alien features. Her appearance was a rare beauty even among humans, but her expression was extremely indifferent, giving people a sense of inaccessibility.

Xi Yan's expression changed immediately upon seeing the figures appear.

In order to maintain the order of the Tamuda Assembly, there were regulations prohibiting private battles during the event.

However, the tribes on the June Grassland were all hot-blooded and belligerent, and disputes often occurred. But as long as no lives were lost, the Three Miao Chieftains would usually turn a blind eye. Why were they appearing now?

"Envoy Miao, there is a reason for this matter..." Xi Yan hurriedly went forward to explain.

"Xi Yan, you Gray Lizard Clan have only just arrived here, and you're already causing trouble. Are you not planning to participate in the Tamuda Assembly?" Miao Kui coldly interrupted Xi Yan's words.

"I wouldn't dare..." Xi Yan hurriedly lowered his head.

"Then hand over the one who attacked," Miao Kui snorted, his gaze directed towards the Gray Lizard Clan's tent.

"This..." Xi Yan's face showed hesitation. The scene he feared most had happened.

Miao Kui raised his eyebrows, about to lash out.

"I was the one who attacked. You can come at me, but if you want to capture someone, you'll have to see if you have the ability," a voice echoed from the tent at that moment.

The white-robed girl looked towards the tent where Han Li was, her brow slightly furrowed.

Miao Kui's eyes were like lightning, and his figure moved, about to attack.

"It's just a small matter, no need to make a fuss. Take Chieftain Yun Zhao down for treatment, I'll handle things here," the white-robed girl said, raising her hand to stop Miao Kui.

The girl's voice was like an oriole singing from a valley, indescribably pleasant to the ear, and gave a sense of peace and tranquility.

The surrounding oppressive aura quickly began to dissipate as she spoke.

"Yes."

Miao Kui seemed to have great respect for the white-robed girl. Although he still looked somewhat unwilling, he nodded in agreement. His figure flickered as he landed on the ground, and soon, he took Yun Zhao and flew away.

"This one is Miao Xiu. Your Excellency's abilities are astonishing. I wonder what kind of master has arrived? May I have the honor of meeting you?" the white-robed girl said, slightly cupping her fist towards the tent where Han Li was.

"There's no need. I'm just a passerby who happened to come here to see the Tamuda Assembly. I'll be leaving soon. It's better if you and I don't meet," a cold voice echoed from the tent after a moment of silence.

The faces of the nearby crowd showed surprise as they heard these words, and they buzzed with discussion.

On the June Grassland, the Three Miao Chieftains were like heaven. How dare someone refuse them to their face, unless they were tired of living.

"If Your Excellency is unwilling to show your face, this one will naturally not force the issue. However, the Tamuda Assembly is a grand event of our June Grassland. Please restrain your actions. The Three Miao Chieftains' generosity has its limits. Please respect yourself," the white-robed girl said, her face still as calm as water, without joy or anger. She turned and transformed into a white light, flying away.

As Miao Xiu left, the crowd of onlookers also dispersed, but their gazes towards the Gray Lizard Clan were completely different from before.

Only now did Xi Yan slowly lower the heart he had been holding in his throat, and he immediately led the Gray Lizard Clan to continue forward.

Inside the tent, Han Li's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.

With the strength of him and Shi Chuan Kong, they were not afraid of the Three Miao Chieftains. If they wanted to escape, no one could stop them. But their purpose was to stay for other reasons, and it was naturally better if they could avoid conflict.

The Gray Lizard Clan soon arrived at their designated location and began setting up camp.

Not long after, Xi Yan came to Han Li's tent and gave a deep bow with a face full of gratitude, saying solemnly, "Thank you, Immortal Master, for helping us avoid being humiliated by others. The Gray Lizard Clan will never forget your great kindness. In the future, if Immortal Master has any orders, the Gray Lizard Clan will go through fire and water, without hesitation!"

Xi Feng in the tent also bowed gratefully.

"Chieftain Xi Yan, you are too kind, please rise," Han Li said, waving his hand.

Xi Yan thanked him again before standing up.

The Gray Lizard Clan had been oppressed countless times, and today, they had finally vented their anger, greatly boosting the morale of the entire tribe.

Yun Zhao had always bullied the weak and feared the strong. Having suffered such a heavy blow today, he would definitely not dare to oppress the Gray Lizard Clan so much in the future. The Gray Lizard Clan's days would be much better.

"Two Immortal Masters have come to this Tamuda Assembly. Is there anything you need? I am willing to help," Xi Yan said solicitously.

"We are only here to see the sights, we don't need your help, you can all leave," Han Li said, waving his hand.

"Yes." Xi Yan and the other did not dare to disobey and quickly retreated.

As soon as the two left, Han Li immediately took out a black robe and put it on, and then took out a hat-shaped magic tool and put it on, completely covering himself.

Shi Chuan Kong also slightly changed his appearance, concealing his figure.

The little conflict just now was just a small interlude. The main purpose of the two was to use the Tamuda Assembly to gather information about the Gray Realm. It was inconvenient to show up in human form, so it was better to hide their figures.

There were also many people in the trading area who were disguised, so it would not seem out of place.

The two exchanged a glance, and their figures flickered slightly, transforming into two black shadows that disappeared into the ground, and the next moment, they appeared near the trading area.

Looking from a distance just now, they could not see very clearly. This trading area was extremely large, with a radius of tens of miles. It was divided into areas, with many "return" shaped paths laid out.

Most of the items on the stalls were various ores, Gray Beast materials, spiritual herbs, and other raw materials, in large quantities.

Countless people were flowing around, selecting the items they needed.

"This assembly is really lively," Han Li said, looking at the scene before him, a smile on his face.

Shi Chuan Kong looked at everything before him, his eyes also revealing a strange excitement.

"This place is very big, you and I will act separately first, gathering information separately, this way the efficiency will be faster," Han Li transmitted his voice.

"Alright," Shi Chuan Kong nodded in agreement, turning and walking in one direction.

Han Li wandered around the trading area, looking at the stalls next to him, and soon stopped in front of a large tribe's stall.

The quality of the various items on this stall was extremely good. Behind the stall stood three burly men with human bodies and tiger heads, each of them two zhang tall, exuding an extremely strong sense of oppression, and were all Great Ascension Stage cultivators.

On the way here, Han Li had studied many Gray Lizard Clan books and could already identify many of the tribes on the grassland by their characteristics.

These three should be from the Yin Tiger Clan, a large clan on the June Grassland with a very high ranking in strength, far surpassing the Gray Lizard Clan. An incident like being blocked from the road would never happen to this clan.
