"The Jiao Yuan Pearl can help Core Formation cultivators break through cultivation bottlenecks, which is indeed not ordinary, but I don't need it. Seventh Miss doesn't need to bother." Han Li shook his head and said.

"If Brother Liu has other requests, you can mention them. As long as they are within an acceptable range, I will definitely do it," Seventh Miss said with a change of expression, still unwilling to give up.

"Speaking of which, I do owe you a favor for regaining consciousness. However, I stopped you from self-harm just now and helped you kill two Core Formation cultivators from the Heavenly Ghost Sect, which should have repaid this favor. Normally, it would be fine, but now that I have just woken up and have my own troubles to solve, I'm afraid I don't have time to escort you to the Cold Flame Sect," Han Li said indifferently.

Seventh Miss's face turned pale upon hearing this, but she still held onto a last glimmer of hope and looked at Liu Le'er beside her with pleading eyes.

The girl looked at her with some pity, hesitated, and tugged at Han Li's sleeve, about to speak.

Han Li naturally understood her thoughts. He first reached out and rubbed her head, then glanced casually at a certain direction outside the courtyard, and said calmly, "Don't worry, even if I don't help, others will."

Seventh Miss was slightly stunned upon hearing this, obviously not understanding the meaning of Han Li's words.

At this moment, the sound of something cutting through the air came from afar.

The Yu family members, including Seventh Miss, were shocked and looked in the direction of the sound. Even Daoist Baishi and the black-clad woman, along with several other cultivators, immediately took out their magical instruments again.

As a result, in full view, one after another dark objects streaked across the sky from outside and were thrown in, landing on the ground with a "thud" and rolling a few times. They turned out to be bloody human heads.

They vaguely resembled the black-clad men who had fled earlier, their faces distorted and full of horror.

Everyone was startled, and Liu Le'er clutched Han Li's sleeve even tighter.

However, Han Li's face remained calm from beginning to end, and he turned his head to look at a certain area in the void.

There, a white light flashed, and a white figure suddenly appeared, then floated down gracefully, landing in the courtyard.

This was a tall, white-clad woman, looking to be in her thirties, still charming, holding a black long sword in its sheath, and exuding a rare, fierce aura.

"Master!" Seventh Miss recognized the person and called out in surprise, rushing forward.

"Meng Han, I'm relieved that you're alright," the beautiful woman took Seventh Miss's hand, gently smoothed her temples, and a trace of affection appeared in her eyes.

The Yu family members heard the conversation and knew that they were not enemies, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

Daoist Baishi and the black-clad woman's expressions relaxed at the same time, and their eyes turned to the white-clad woman's cuffs.

There, a small flame pattern was embroidered, exactly the same as the pattern on the token that Seventh Miss had taken out earlier.

The few of them immediately showed respect.

Liu Le'er seemed a little afraid of the middle-aged beautiful woman, shrinking behind Han Li and tightly grabbing his sleeve.

"With me here, there's nothing to worry about," Han Li said softly, knowing what the girl was worried about.

Liu Le'er felt relieved upon hearing this and nodded.

"Master, why are you here?" Yu Menghan asked, holding back the tears in her eyes.

"I heard from the sect that the Heavenly Ghost Sect might be targeting the Yu family, so I rushed over immediately. However, I was blocked by the Heavenly Ghost Sect on the way and arrived a bit late. Fortunately, it wasn't too late," the middle-aged beautiful woman said with affection.

"It's all thanks to the family's retainers for protecting us with their lives, and also to this Brother Liu for helping us. Everyone, this is my master. Master, these four are the family's retainers. This is Liu Shi, Young Master Liu, who killed the two Core Formation cultivators of the Heavenly Ghost Sect and saved the entire family," Yu Menghan smiled and brought the middle-aged beautiful woman to Han Li and the others, introducing them one by one, and focusing on introducing Han Li with emphasis.

Daoist Baishi and the others dared not neglect and hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"Seventh Miss, my real name is Han Li, Liu Shi is just an alias," Han Li said with a slight smile, not moving from his spot.

"Oh, is that so? So you're Brother Han," Yu Menghan said with a start, then smiled.

"This humble one is Gu Yunyue from the Cold Flame Sect. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Han, for saving my disciple's family. May I ask which sect you come from?" the middle-aged beautiful woman asked with an indifferent expression, her eyes sharp as sword blades.

Baishi and the others felt as if their skin was being pricked by needles, and their respect increased even more. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

The beautiful woman's gaze swept over Baishi, Liu Le'er, and the others, but stopped on Han Li, and the indifferent expression on her face slowly disappeared, becoming serious.

Han Li's aura was faint and elusive. Even with her spiritual sense, she couldn't see through him, which made her feel a chill in her heart.

"Han is not affiliated with any sect, just a rogue cultivator. I only helped because Seventh Miss was kind to me before. It's just a matter of reciprocity," Han Li said calmly.

With his powerful spiritual sense, he could naturally see through the other party's details at a glance. She was a Nascent Soul cultivator in the mid stage.

"So Fellow Daoist Han is a rogue cultivator..." The beautiful woman seemed a little surprised. After all, being able to kill two Core Formation cultivators in one fell swoop meant that his cultivation would not be low, but there were few rogue cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage.

"Meng Han, the Feng Kingdom is now the territory of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. This place is not suitable for a long stay. We must leave here immediately," Gu Yunyue said to Yu Menghan after noticing that Han Li was unwilling to say more.

The Yu family members had long wanted to leave this place, and they all looked delighted upon hearing this.

"Master, wait a moment, there's something I need to tell you," Yu Menghan suddenly said, pulling Gu Yunyue to the side of the evil young man's corpse.

"Oh! Qi Minghao! Why is he here!" The beautiful woman exclaimed softly, her face changing drastically.

"Master, you recognize this person too? Is his grand-uncle really an elder of the Heavenly Ghost Sect?" Yu Menghan asked softly, feeling a thud in her heart upon seeing Gu Yunyue's expression.

"That's right. His grand-uncle Qi Xuan is an elder of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, with a cultivation base that has reached the God Transformation stage. He is extremely protective of his shortcomings. If he knows that his grand-nephew has been killed, I'm afraid he won't let it go," Gu Yunyue said slowly.

"God Transformation stage!" Yu Menghan's face changed drastically, and she gasped.

The faces of Daoist Baishi and the others showed even more terrifying expressions.

A God Transformation stage great cultivator was far beyond the existence of a Nascent Soul cultivator. A single finger could crush them.

"Who killed Qi Minghao?" Gu Yunyue asked, her eyes already looking towards Han Li.

At this time, Han Li had slowly walked to the side of the gray-clad man's corpse in the distance, casually picked up a storage bag, and casually checked the contents inside.

"It was indeed Brother Han who killed this person," Yu Menghan said, nodding upon seeing this.

The beautiful woman's face changed several times upon hearing this.

"Master, will Qi Xuan be angry about the death of his grand-nephew and personally take action?" Yu Menghan asked nervously.

"Qi Xuan holds a high position in the Heavenly Ghost Sect and has many children. He shouldn't leave the sect easily for the sake of a grand-nephew. At most, he will send his disciples to investigate this matter," Gu Yunyue said, shaking her head after pondering for a moment.

Yu Menghan's face relaxed upon hearing this.

"Even so, we can't be careless. Meng Han, you must leave with me immediately and return to the Cold Flame Sect before the people Qi Xuan sends arrive," Gu Yunyue then said solemnly.

Yu Menghan's face changed slightly. The beautiful woman's words seemed to indicate that she only intended to take her away alone. She quickly said, "Master, can you bring my family to the Cold Flame Sect as well?"

The Yu family members all looked at Gu Yunyue upon hearing this.

Baishi and the other retainers also looked at Gu Yunyue with yearning, hoping to be given a chance to join the Cold Flame Sect.

If they could take this opportunity to join the Cold Flame Sect, even if it was just the outer sect, it would be much better than being rogue cultivators, especially since they had already offended the Heavenly Ghost Sect.
