Wang Yu
Chapter 1169: Such Disdain
“Clan Leader, Yue’er’s current situation… This person’s appearance on Eight Barrens Mountain at this time must be harboring ulterior motives and seeking something else. We must be on guard…” The gray-robed old man’s expression changed, and he hurriedly said.
“I have my own judgment. You may leave now.” The white-robed man raised his hand to stop the gray-robed old man from continuing, and said.
“Yes.” The gray-robed old man was still somewhat unwilling, glared at Han Li, and then walked out.
“Han Li, it’s been many years. I didn’t expect your cultivation to advance so quickly. It’s quite remarkable.” The white-robed man turned to face Han Li, sized him up, and said with a slight smile.
“Clan Leader Liu Qing is too polite. My meager strength is hardly worth your attention.” Han Li cupped his hands and said.
“Oh, you know my name?” Liu Qing’s face showed a hint of surprise.
“I overheard it by chance.” Han Li had no intention of talking about the Gray Realm, and said casually.
“Elder Mu’s descendants were killed by human cultivators, so he harbors deep resentment towards human cultivators. In addition, Yue’er is currently busy cultivating a secret technique to prepare for the upcoming Blood Sacrifice Ceremony, which is of great importance. Elder Mu is overly concerned, so he acted so rashly. I hope you can forgive him.” Liu Qing did not pursue the matter, nodded slightly, and said.
“I wouldn’t dare.” Han Li shook his head.
“Although Elder Mu speaks bluntly, he speaks the truth. Han Li, Yue’er is not the Yue’er she used to be. To tell you the truth, she possesses the supreme bloodline of the Sky Fox Clan. After this Blood Sacrifice Ceremony, she will soar to great heights. Fellow Daoist Han, although you are Yue’er’s elder brother, that is a matter of past mortal affairs. Moreover, you are just a human cultivator, and you will never be in the same world as Yue’er. Do you understand?” Liu Qing’s tone suddenly changed, staring at Han Li’s eyes, and said slowly.
Hearing this, although Han Li’s expression remained the same, he felt almost like he was about to vomit blood from anger.
Liu Qing and the gray-robed old man both regarded him as someone who saw Liu Yue’er’s success and, relying on their past relationship, tried to come to the door to beg for benefits.
Speaking of which, since he stepped into the cultivation world, he had never been looked down upon so much.
“Your current situation is not good. Your conflict with the Qing Ape Clan at the city gate means your identity is about to be exposed. It’s only natural that you came to Yue’er for help. However, Yue’er needs to focus on cultivation and cannot be disturbed by external matters. How about this, I can grant you permission to stay in our Sky Fox Clan until the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony is held. During this time, we will ensure your safety, but after the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony, please leave Eight Barrens Mountain immediately. Of course, if you have any other requests, you can feel free to make them, but you must ensure that you will never pester Yue’er again…” Seeing Han Li speechless, Liu Qing thought he was holding out for a better price, so he continued.
“Clan Leader Liu’s worries are unnecessary. Although my cultivation is not high, I have never coveted other people’s possessions. My safety is also not something your clan needs to worry about. My visit to see Yue’er is purely to reminisce about old times. As for whether we will meet again in the future, it depends on fate. Farewell!” Han Li, no matter how good-tempered, could not tolerate it any longer. He coldly interrupted Liu Qing’s words and walked straight outside.
Liu Qing frowned slightly, a flash of anger in his eyes. He moved his sleeve, as if about to do something, but stopped the next moment and suddenly looked outside.
Although Han Li was walking outwards, most of his mind was still behind him. Sensing Liu Qing’s actions, he also looked outside, his footsteps paused.
At this moment, two figures walked in from outside.
One of them was Li Qima, and the other was a middle-aged man wearing a snow-white robe, with a face like jade, sword-like eyebrows, and starry eyes, truly handsome, it was the White Ze True Spirit King.
“Your Majesty! Why have you come? Why didn’t you notify your subject so I could arrange for someone to greet you.” Liu Qing quickly went up to meet him and said respectfully to the snow-robed middle-aged man.
“Your Majesty…” Han Li was stunned, and immediately understood the identity of the snow-robed middle-aged man, his face slightly pale.
The reason why he came to the Sky Fox Clan was to inquire about the strength of this True Spirit King, so as to decide whether to go with Li Qima to meet him. Who knew that he had not gained any information yet, and the other party had already come to his door.
Moreover, Han Li looked at the snow-robed middle-aged man in front of him. The other party did not exude a powerful aura, but he felt a sense of inexplicable fear in his heart.
Han Li had only experienced this kind of situation with a few people such as Yin Chengquan, the awakened Crab Daoren, and the Demon Lord.
“Clan Leader Liu, you don’t need to be so polite. I’m here for a private matter, so there’s no need to be so ceremonious. You don’t need to tell anyone about my visit here.” Bai Ze said indifferently.
“Yes, I wonder what brings Your Majesty here? Your subject will take care of it immediately.” Liu Qing’s expression changed slightly when he heard this, and then he said immediately.
“This matter has little to do with the Sky Fox Clan. I am here to see this young friend Han.” Bai Ze looked at Han Li, a hint of a smile on his lips.
Liu Qing was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked at Han Li in astonishment.
“I am Han Li, greetings Senior Bai Ze.” Han Li glanced at Li Qima, then cupped his hands and bowed to Bai Ze.
On the way to Eight Barrens Mountain, he had already asked about the True Spirit King’s name.
“Fellow Daoist Han, I told my father about Little Bai, and he immediately asked me to bring him over to find you. I hope we didn’t cause you any trouble?” Li Qima saw Han Li’s gaze, smiled slightly, and briefly introduced the circumstances of their visit.
“Not at all, it is my honor that Senior Bai Ze is willing to take the time to meet me.” Han Li smiled wryly in his heart, but said with a smile on his face.
“Since you saved my son’s life, our clan owes you a favor. There’s no need to be so polite. It is said that you possess the bloodline of a True Spirit, which is quite a connection to our clan.” Bai Ze looked at Han Li and said with a smile.
“Senior, although I am a human cultivator and possess several kinds of True Spirit bloodlines in my body, they were basically obtained in the Lower Realm. Since ascending to the True Immortal Realm, I have never caused any harm to the various tribes in the Wildlands.” Han Li hesitated and said.
“Fellow Daoist Han, you don’t need to worry. My father already knows about your affairs. The greatest enemy of the various tribes in our Wildlands is the Heavenly Court. Fellow Daoist Han, you are now wanted by the Heavenly Court. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Moreover, Fellow Daoist Han, you returned Little Bai to Eight Barrens Mountain, which is a great kindness to the various tribes of our Wildlands, so you can rest assured.” Li Qima laughed.
Hearing this, Han Li saw Bai Ze’s smiling face, and his heart relaxed slightly.
Liu Qing was shocked again and again when he heard the conversation of the three, and could not help but secretly regret his attitude towards Han Li just now.
He was turning these thoughts in his mind, but his actions were not out of order. He respectfully led Bai Ze and Li Qima into the hall, and welcomed Bai Ze to the main seat.
But Han Li was standing near the entrance of the hall at the moment, without moving.
“Fellow Daoist Han, why don’t you come over and sit?” Li Qima asked strangely when he saw Han Li still standing at the door.
“This is the Sky Fox Clan’s territory. How dare I, a human cultivator, sit here? It’s already a blessing that I haven’t been driven out.” Han Li sighed lightly and said indifferently.
“Huh? What’s going on?” Li Qima looked at Liu Qing.
Bai Ze also looked over.
“Your Majesty, Young Master, it’s all a small matter. Fellow Daoist Han, I had some small misunderstandings with you earlier, please forgive me.” Liu Qing’s face flushed, and he hurriedly said. Then he walked to Han Li’s side and cupped his hands awkwardly.
Han Li sneered in his heart, but he did not completely break with Liu Qing. After all, Liu Qing’s strength was far above him. He clasped his fist, but did not speak.
“Clan Leader Liu, I have some things to talk about with this young friend Han. You may leave now.” Bai Ze suddenly spoke, as if the Sky Fox Clan’s station was his own home.
“Yes.” Not only did Liu Qing not have any dissatisfaction, but he also respectfully agreed and walked out quickly.
In recent years, the Heavenly Court has been constantly invading the Wildlands with various reasons. The various tribes of the Wildlands rely on Bai Ze Wang’s leadership to barely contend with the Heavenly Court. Bai Ze has long become the common master of the various tribes of the Wildlands, and his prestige is extremely high.
Liu Qing soon left the hall and came to a nearby hall.
“Clan Leader, have you dealt with that Han Li? A human dared to come to the Wildlands and even hit on our Sky Fox Clan, he is really courting death. How did you deal with him?” The gray-robed old man was here. Seeing Liu Qing coming in, he hurriedly greeted him.
Liu Qing glanced at the gray-robed old man, and a burst of anger rose from his heart. He snorted heavily.
He was busy in the Sky Fox Hall just now. He heard from his subordinates that Han Li had come to the Sky Fox Clan’s station, and only then did he come out from there. He did not know much about Han Li’s situation.
When Liu Qing dismissed the gray-robed old man, the two exchanged their divine senses in an instant. He carefully asked the gray-robed old man about Han Li’s situation. He learned that Han Li had only come to Eight Barrens Mountain with two small tribes from the Wildlands and had no special background. Only then did he decide to follow the gray-robed old man’s words and drive Han Li out of Eight Barrens Mountain. Who would have thought that the information the gray-robed old man told him was so wrong.
“Clan Leader, what’s wrong?” The gray-robed old man was stunned when he saw Liu Qing’s expression.
“You just said that Han Li came to Eight Barrens Mountain with the Silver Horn Rhinoceros Clan and the Cloud Pattern Tiger Clan, and has no other background?” Liu Qing raised his hand and opened several layers of restriction light curtains, and then asked in a deep voice.
“Yes, what background could a human cultivator have in Eight Barrens Mountain? However, he seems to know the Young Master.” The gray-robed old man hesitated, and said somewhat hesitantly.
“Since you knew that he knew the Young Master, why didn’t you tell me?” Liu Qing asked coldly.
“This… Even if this person knows the Young Master, it’s nothing. Clan Leader, you also know that the Young Master has a naive and frivolous personality and likes to make friends with people indiscriminately. The King has reprimanded him many times for this. That Han Li is probably someone the Young Master met outside, it’s not important, right?” The gray-robed old man saw Liu Qing’s ugly face, and only then did he feel that things were not good. He hesitated and continued to defend himself.
“Bullshit!” Liu Qing suddenly shouted, and then realized his gaffe. He sat back in his chair and closed his eyes, not saying a word.
The gray-robed old man was startled and did not dare to say anything more. He lowered his head and stood aside.
