“With your level of stupidity, you dare to sign a Demonic Covenant with him?” As soon as the demonic light appeared, it coldly berated the black-clad old man on the ground.

The black-clad old man paled upon seeing the demonic light. A black light flashed across his body as his form began to dissipate.

He clearly intended to escape by turning into mist again!

“Where do you think you’re going!”

The demonic light didn't give him any chance. A palm suddenly reached out, and a black light erupted from the palm, transforming into a faint black net that enveloped all the black mist formed by the old man and began to shrink.

“No!”

A wail echoed from the black mist. After twisting in the shrinking net, it condensed again into the old man's appearance.

The demonic light chanted a few incomprehensible incantations, and black light flashed in its eyes. It opened its mouth and sucked, and the black-clad old man, with the net constricting violently, turned into a wisp of mist and flowed into the demonic light's mouth.

The half of the Heavenly Demon's corpse on the other side of the abyss didn't escape the fate either, also turning into a wisp of mist and being swallowed by the demonic light.

The storage bracelet it carried fell to the ground with a “clang.”

During this time, Han Li collected the two light wheel spirit treasures that had been knocked away and then returned to his original spot in a flash.

After a blur, the demonic light merged back into Han Li's shadow, and its voice echoed in Han Li's mind:

“Fellow Daoist Han, please help me check that man's storage magic tool. As a Heavenly Demon, he should have collected a lot of Demon Covenant Stones. With those things, I can recover some more.”

Its voice faintly revealed a hint of agility, unlike the previous woodenness.

Hearing this, Han Li waved his hand toward the ground, and a black bracelet floated up lightly.

At this moment, a white shadow flashed by swiftly, and the black bracelet disappeared without a trace.

Han Li frowned slightly at this.

The white shadow landed not far away, revealing the figure of Bai Suyuan, who was clutching the black bracelet tightly in both hands.

“Thank you, Senior Li, for exterminating this demon for me, giving justice to this little woman! But, this bracelet is from our Bai family. You are an immortal, you wouldn't covet these things from our Bai family, would you?” Bai Suyuan looked at Han Li with pleading eyes, and said.

Seeing the black-clad old man pretending to be Bai Songshi killed on the spot, the expression on this woman's face recovered a lot, as if she had breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't show any fear towards the suddenly appearing demonic light.

“Fellow Daoist Bai, don't misunderstand. I won't touch anything from your Bai family. It's just that since that person was a Heavenly Demon from outside the region, he should have collected some Demon Covenant Stones. This thing is very important to me. Please check if there are any in the storage bracelet. If there are, I am willing to buy them with spirit stones,” Han Li said after a slight pause.

Hearing this, Bai Suyuan smiled and nodded, and her divine sense entered the black bracelet.

“Is it this thing?”

After a while, she waved her hand, and a dark stone appeared in her hand, its surface shrouded in black mist, exuding an eerie aura.

After Han Li communicated with the demonic light through his soul and received an affirmative answer, he said, “That's right. I want all of them, no matter how many there are.”

“Wait a moment, let me count... there are twenty in total,” Bai Suyuan said.

“I'll offer twenty top-grade spirit stones in exchange for these Demon Covenant Stones, is that acceptable?” Han Li flipped his hand and took out twenty top-grade spirit stones, and said.

“No.” Bai Suyuan shook her head directly, and said.

“Does Fellow Daoist Bai think it's too little?” Han Li raised an eyebrow.

“With your seniority, you naturally wouldn't take advantage of this little woman in these things. Moreover, one top-grade spirit stone in our Baiyou Kingdom is at least equivalent to one hundred high-grade spirit stones. Even during the Bai family's heyday, the offerings I received in a year were only three high-grade spirit stones, and that was only because I was deeply valued by the Old Ancestor,” Bai Suyuan shook her head again, and said.

“Then what does Fellow Daoist Bai want?” Han Li didn't say much, put away the spirit stones in his hand, and asked.

“I want Senior Li to promise this little woman a request,” Bai Suyuan smiled slightly, and stretched out a white finger to make a gesture of "one".

“A request?” Han Li looked at Bai Suyuan in front of him, as if he was getting to know her again.

He vaguely felt that after the Heavenly Demon was killed, this woman seemed to have suddenly changed, and she revealed a hint of quirky cleverness.

“That's right. As for what the request is, this little woman hasn't thought about it yet, but please rest assured, Senior. My request will definitely not exceed your ability, and there won't be any danger... it's just a small request,” Bai Suyuan nodded very seriously, and said.

“Alright. But I'll only give you three days to consider. After that, I won't wait,” Han Li pondered slightly and agreed.

“It's a deal,” Bai Suyuan smiled sweetly, waved her hand, and threw a small bag to Han Li.

“Since the task you entrusted me with has been completed, give me the agreed reward,” Han Li put away the bag and said.

“This place has just caused quite a commotion, let's leave here first. Senior, rest assured, if I complete the task but don't give a reward, even if you don't hold it against me, the No-Chang Alliance won't let me go,” Bai Suyuan said, winking at Han Li.

Then, without waiting for Han Li to respond, her figure turned into a white light and headed into the distance.

Hearing this, Han Li didn't say much, and his figure followed with a flash of light.

Soon, the two landed on a green hillside tens of thousands of miles away from Tai'e Mountain.

The environment here was serene, with a white river-like river at the foot of the mountain. Leaning against the mountain and facing the water, it gave people a sense of relaxation at a glance.

There was a grave on the hillside. On an old bluestone tombstone were carved a few blurry characters that were no longer clear, but the first character, Bai, could still be recognized.

Bai Suyuan landed on the open space in front of the grave. Looking at the tombstone, a faint mist appeared in her bright eyes, and she slowly knelt down in front of the tombstone.

“Grandpa, that demon is finally dead. Your spirit in heaven can rest in peace too…” Bai Suyuan's voice was a little choked, and her thin shoulders trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Han Li didn't urge anything. He turned around and looked out of the mountain.

Intermittent sobs kept coming from behind. After a long time, they slowly stopped.

“Senior, I couldn't hold back my emotions for a while, and I've made you laugh,” Bai Suyuan came over and said softly.

“Fellow Daoist Bai is wrong to say that. Human emotions are normal, so how can there be laughter? But the deceased is gone, so don't be too sad,” Han Li turned around and comforted her in a faint tone.

The girl in front of him still had slightly red eyes, and there were still a few faint traces of lightning at the corners of her eyes, like dewdrops on flower petals. Whether it was her expression or her aura, there was no pretense.

Although Han Li was not really moved by her, he was not a true cold-hearted person, so he naturally said some comforting words.

“Thank you, Senior,” Bai Suyuan sighed leisurely, flipped her hand, and took out a palm-sized emerald green token. One side was written with the two characters "Zhu Long," and the other side was a strange dragon pattern with a single horn on its head and wings on its back.

Han Li's eyes lit up slightly when he saw this, and his gaze fell on the token.

“This token is called the Zhu Long Token. Senior may not know it because you are not from the Gu Yun Continent. The Zhu Long Sect's requirements for accepting people are extremely strict. Only those with excellent qualifications and a clean background are accepted. However, with this token, one person can directly enter the Zhu Long Sect's inner sect, regardless of their qualifications. Back then, my Bai family's Old Ancestor made a great contribution to the Zhu Long Sect, so he was rewarded with one,” Bai Suyuan said softly, stroking the token lightly with her jade hand.

“I see, this thing is indeed precious,” Han Li nodded.

“After Grandpa passed away, I originally planned to use this thing to join the Zhu Long Sect, but in the end, I still couldn't let go of the hatred in my heart, so I used this token to issue this task,” Bai Suyuan sighed lightly and handed the green token to Han Li.

Han Li looked at the weak girl in front of him, his eyes moved slightly, but he still reached out and took the token.

“Senior, the request you promised this little woman earlier should still count, right?” Bai Suyuan suddenly raised her head and said.

“Oh, has Fellow Daoist Bai thought about it?” Han Li's heart moved, and he asked.

“I don't have much affection for the other members of the Bai family. Because of past events, there are some misunderstandings and knots in my heart. I can't stay here. Although I don't have the Zhu Long Token, I still plan to go to the Zhu Long Sect to try my luck. Maybe I can have some immortal fate. Senior's purpose is to obtain a Zhu Long Token, so you must have the idea of joining the Zhu Long Sect. Therefore, I want to ask Senior to take me along for the ride,” Bai Suyuan said.

Hearing this, Han Li was slightly stunned, as if he hadn't expected the other party to have this intention.

The Gu Yun Continent was extremely vast. From here to the Zhong Ming Mountains, where the Zhu Long Sect was located, there were still countless miles away. Although the journey wasn't like the Wasteland Continent, where everywhere was a wilderness and dangers were everywhere, it was definitely not a smooth road.

In any case, with this woman's Transformation Spirit cultivation, wanting to arrive safely was definitely not without risk. Any danger along the way could cause her to die prematurely.

It seemed that this woman looked weak, but she was quite shrewd. In this situation, it was not easy for him to refuse.

“If Fellow Daoist Bai has thought it through, I can take you along for the ride. However, once we arrive at the Zhong Ming Mountains, this request will be considered fulfilled,” Han Li said after thinking for a moment.

“Really? Thank you so much. As long as Senior can take me there, I will never dare to trouble you with anything else,” a bright smile suddenly appeared on Bai Suyuan's face.

Hearing this, Han Li didn't say anything more and waved his hand to summon a white jade shuttle in the shape of a flying bird and floated up.

This item was found in Fang Pan's storage magic tool and was a top-grade spirit treasure, almost only a line away from being an immortal artifact.

Seeing this, Bai Suyuan quickly flew up and sat down on a baffle on the edge of the jade shuttle, put away the smile on her face, and said solemnly: "Senior's help today, this little woman will remember it in my heart."

Han Li did not speak, waved his hand and sent out a magic formula.

A dazzling white light rose from the jade shuttle, turning into a white shadow in the shape of a flying bird, and shot towards the distance with extremely speed.
