Xujing, South Gate.
Standing outside the grand south gate of Xu Jing, he first looked at the city wall that was tens of feet high, like a mountain, and then looked at the strong soldiers standing on the parapet and arrow stacks. Finally, Han Li was still... Without saying anything, he simply put down the straw hat on his head and looked at the ordinary farmer's clothes he was wearing. After making sure that there would be no problem and that no one would recognize him, he finally took a step forward and headed towards the village. Walk towards the bustling south gate.
He was not sure if there were people in the demonic path in this Xu Jing, and he was even less sure if he had the terrifying ability to fight monsters with bare hands like the one he encountered at the landing point before. Therefore, for the sake of safety, for the sake of his own life For his own sake, he had to conceal his identity and keep a low profile.
"Hmm?"
"What a prosperous Xujing!"
Soon, after paying the city entry tax of a few copper coins, he successfully entered Nancheng and saw the bustling Xujing streets and countless business travelers coming and going.
"It's unbelievable..."
"The world of cultivating immortals has been beaten to pieces. They have been fighting for nearly two or three years, but here in Xujing, it is still prosperous, and they don't even notice it. It's really rare!"
"It seems……"
"Master Li Yuanhua is indeed right. The seven major sects rarely interfere in the affairs of the secular dynasty. It must be that the task assigned by the master is quite taboo in the sect. I must be careful and say nothing." Act as Huang Maple Valley!"
After watching and thinking for a while, Han Li soon knew how he should act in Xu Jing this time, that is: be careful and keep a low profile.
As long as the task can be completed smoothly, as for other things, it is best not to interfere if possible, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
"only……"
"The front line of Jinguyuan is tight. The demonic way has destroyed the royal family in Jiang State. I don't know how long the tranquility here can last?"
"well……"
After a sentimental sigh at first, Han Li shook his head and continued walking forward.
He could already imagine that if the seven major sects could not withstand the invasion of the devil, once the devil's army came to the Xu Kingdom, even if the Xu capital had thousands of feet of city walls and countless elite soldiers, it would inevitably fall apart in an instant. , the royal family in the royal city will no longer exist!
That is the gap between mortals and immortal cultivators. If the seven major sects cannot resist it, let alone this mere mortal dynasty.
"I don't know what happened to the ancient teleportation array that Qi Yunxiao repaired..."
"I really don't want it to be used one day."
He doesn't know why, but Han Li always vaguely feels that the situation of the seven major sects is not good, and the decline is becoming more and more obvious. That is his intuition, and it cannot be wrong.
Therefore, he felt that it was time to prepare a retreat. He must improve his cultivation as soon as possible, and since he had escaped from the Jinguyuan frontline camp, he could never go back.
"!!"
Well?
Suddenly, Han Li, who was thinking about something while walking, was unexpectedly hit by someone. When he frowned and turned around, he found that it was a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old who hit him, and the person was actually a trainee. A monk at the fifth level of Qi?
"What are you looking at?"
"I didn't mean it!"
He found that Han Li was looking at him. Not only did the little girl not apologize, but she playfully made a big face for him, and then continued to jump around and ran forward.
"..."
Tsk!
Are there so many immortal cultivators?
Han Li didn't say anything. He just felt that he could meet a fifth-level Qi practitioner whenever he walked on the road. Although he had long ignored that kind of cultivation, a young girl could Being able to have such a good level of cultivation really made him feel quite emotional.
but……
Thinking of the terrifying little girl he met outside the city who was able to fight monsters with bare hands and didn't know her specific cultivation level, he suddenly no longer felt that there was anything so rare about the little girl in front of him.
"Tweety!"
"Slow down..."
"Don't run around!"
At this time, as the little girl ran over, an old man came out from behind. Han Li just took a cursory look and unexpectedly discovered that the other man seemed to have the strength of the ninth level of Qi training?
"Are you afraid?"
"grandfather!"
"It's daytime and we're in the city. Where could there be danger?"
The little girl named 'Tui'er' in the distance looked back at her grandfather who was lagging behind, and then continued to skip forward with a smile.
"Ahem!"
"This little brother..."
"Twee'er is very adventurous by nature. I've offended you a lot. Please forgive me."
After a while, the old man who looked shaky but was actually at the ninth level of Qi training caught up and pretended to salute Han Li, who had just been hit by the little girl.
"It doesn't matter!"
Shaking his head, Han Li tried his best to control his aura while pretending not to know anything about the situation and helped the other person up instead of accepting the other person's gift.
"but……"
"Old sir, your granddaughter is pretty good..."
Then, Han Li said something like this out of nowhere, and with a look of admiration on his face, he smiled and joked at the little girl who was picking at a certain stall in the distance.
"!!"
However, it's better that he didn't say it. When he said this, he didn't know which part of the old man in front of him was offended, or maybe the tone when he just spoke was a bit frivolous, which made the old man feel something bad. idea?
So, very suddenly, the other party glared at him with a vague spell of shock or confusion wrapped in his eyes.
"?!"
snort!
Unfortunately, Han Li just snorted coldly, resisted the opponent's spell and stared back.
"..."
"!!"
"The villain Xiao Zhen has offended the seniors without thinking. Please don't blame me, seniors?"
After a while, when Han Li, who didn't really want to cause trouble in public, released the intimidating and immobilizing spell, the other party hurriedly announced his identity and saluted him.
"okay!"
"I saw it. Your aura-obscuring spell is quite novel. If it weren't for the close range, I wouldn't even know that you are also practitioners."
"That's fine!"
"This is not the place to talk. Let me record your auras first. We can discuss this matter another day?"
As he spoke, he patted the shoulder of Xiao Zhen, the ninth-level Qi Refining monk in front of him, and then looked at the little girl in the distance who seemed to have noticed the movement and was running over. Say more, just chuckle, give the old man a look, then turn around and leave.
"grandfather!"
"Who is he? Did he bully you just now?"
The little girl whose name was Cui'er ran over and wanted to cause trouble for Han Li, but was stopped by her grandfather Xiao Zhen.
"Shh!"
"Tui'er, please keep your voice down, that man is a monk in the foundation building stage, we can't afford to offend him!"
"!!"
"Foundation building period?"
"It's great to build a foundation, but you can bully others?"
"I also know Sister Mo from the Dan-formation stage, and Sister Xiaoli. She is..."
"Silence!"
"Tui'er, no matter what, Fairy Mo will never be able to protect you every day. Water from afar can't quench the thirst of the near. If you get angry, he will kill you and me, grandson and grandson. What's the use of Fairy Mo turning around to avenge you?" ?”
"But!"
"Let's go, listen to grandpa, don't cause trouble, we really can't afford to mess with that person!"
"Be good! Be obedient!"
Soon, Xiao Zhen and his granddaughter Cui'er argued and argued for a while, and after saying a few words, the two left in a hurry.
"..."
After the two people walked away, he continued to pretend to move forward, but in fact, Han Li, who had been paying attention to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, frowned and stood still with a solemn heart. At the same time, he subconsciously looked back. A glance at the street where the grandfather and grandson disappeared.
The grandfather and grandson were just low-level monks at the ninth and fifth levels of Qi Refining. Han Li was in the middle stage of foundation building and would not take them seriously.
He originally planned to take some time to use some tricks to get the magical breath-containing skills from those two people, but now...
"Fairy Mo? The pill forming stage?"
"Little carp?"
"real or fake?"
After hearing that the two people seemed to know a 'Mo Fairy' who was in the elixir formation stage and a 'Little Carp' whose strength was unknown, Han Li couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Of course, those two people are not difficult to deal with, and there will be no difficulty in getting each other's breath-condensing technique. However, for the sake of just a novel spell, you have to provoke the Danxian 'Mo Fairy' or someone more powerful behind them. The powerful 'Little Carp', then he must carefully consider the pros and cons.
If he hadn't met the mysterious and powerful monk who fought monsters with his bare hands at the small lake outside the city before, Han Li might have just thought that the little girl was just telling lies. However, after seeing that After becoming mysteriously powerful, he felt that it was not unacceptable for Xu Jing, who was originally in the ordinary mortal world, to have a 'Mo Fairy' who was in the elixir formation stage and a 'Little Carp' whose strength was unknown?
"That's all."
"It's better not to cause trouble and go to the Qin Mansion as soon as possible!"
Finally, after thinking over and over again, Han Li finally decided not to cause trouble for the two grandsons for the time being, nor to draw attention to the other party's novel breath-condensing technique for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble for himself. Disaster.
After all, he is just an immortal cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building now. Even in Yellow Maple Valley, he is just cannon fodder at the bottom. He really shouldn't act too high-profile.
"..."
After thinking about it, he looked around again, then lowered the brim of his hat and hurriedly merged into the bustling flow of business travelers, walking quickly towards the neighborhood to the west outside the imperial city where dignitaries lived.
…
What Han Li didn't know was that on the other side of the Xujing Imperial City, outside the Prince Xin's Mansion in the 'Sixteen Kings' Lane across from Xingning Street, a female knight in white clothes and a gauze hat was silently He secretly stared at the gate of Prince Xin's Mansion from a street corner.
Yes, she is the 'Mo Fairy' Mo Caihuan mentioned by Xiao Zhen and his granddaughter Xiao Cuier!
And the reason why she is here staring at Prince Xin's Mansion now is naturally to actively investigate the recent frequent disappearances of casual cultivators in Prince Xin's Mansion and Xu Jing.
After all, it was related to the reputation of her 'Mo Fairy' and the reputation of her master Flame Immortal. She didn't want to be pointed out and said that she relied on attacking the casual cultivators near Xu Jing and absorbing their skills. He cultivates so quickly.
However, she has been staring at Prince Xin's Mansion here for almost a day, but she still hasn't made any valuable discoveries.
"It's getting late..."
"Why."
"It seems that we can only end here today. If we don't go back soon, Master and Junior Sister may have a falling out!"
After waiting for a while, Mo Caihuan was ready to give up after seeing that Prince Xin's mansion was still calm and there were still no valuable clues.
Speaking of which, she originally planned to dress up in disguise, then sell herself and work as a maid in the palace to conduct long-term investigations. However, thinking that she still had two masters and junior sisters who were "waiting for food" at home, she did not dare to stay for a long time. Since she was lurking, she could only stay here to observe every day or sneak in at night to collect some information.
But it's a pity that after several days, she still didn't find any valuable information. Except for the "immortal master" who pretended to be a ghost, there was no clue about the disappearance of the casual cultivators in Prince Xin's Mansion, so she I have always felt annoyed.
"It's better to go back..."
"If it's any later, we won't be able to make it in time for dinner."
Looking at the sun gradually setting in the sky, and then looking at the heavily guarded gate of Prince Xin's Mansion in the distance, Mo Caihuan felt that his work today was in vain and planned to turn around and leave.
"!!"
"Um?"
Suddenly, at this moment, Mo Caihuan, who was about to go back, made a new discovery.
"that is……"
"It's him?!"
Seeing the guy in black clothes, and even the gatekeeper of Prince Xin's Mansion was polite to him, Mo Caihuan's eyes widened instantly, and then his right hand unconsciously touched the hilt of the long sword at his waist.
She didn't know whether that person was related to the recent disappearance of casual cultivators near Xu Jing, but she recognized that guy.
That was the head of the Lanzhou Five Color Sect, and she and her father were once close friends. But later, after her father disappeared, the other party began to target them everywhere. In the end, he turned against them and sent someone to destroy her. The Mo Mansion caused her family to be ruined and she had to live in Yanjiabao. Later, she went to Xu Jing and met Master Anne.
But now, what she never expected was that the dog thief was also here in Xu Jing. Moreover, looking at the respectful attitude of the guards of the palace, it was not difficult to judge that the other party seemed to be a steward of Prince Xin's palace. Or a hanger-on?
"..."
Thinking of this, Mo Caihuan, whose eyes gradually became sharp, slowly pulled out the long sword from her waist.
"no!"
"No……"
"The matter in Prince Xin's Mansion has not been investigated clearly yet, so we cannot alert the enemy early!"
But fortunately, Mo Caihuan held back in the end, and gritted his teeth and slowly pushed back the half-unsheathed sword.
"We can't kill him yet!"
"Compared to him, the missing case of the casual cultivator is more important. We should wait until the matter is investigated clearly before talking about it. He can't run away anyway."
Click!
After muttering these words to himself, Mo Caihuan made up his mind and said nothing more. He directly pushed the thin sword he bought with a few taels of silver back into the scabbard. Then he took one last look at the man's back and turned around to leave.
She didn't know yet whether Prince Xin's Mansion was related to the case of missing Sanxiu, but finding out that Prince Xin's Mansion was related to her enemies of Mo Caihuan's family was indeed an unexpected surprise, which made Mo Caihuan feel that she had been following them for the past few days. The effort was not in vain.
However, she still had to think carefully about how to do it.
More importantly, it was indeed getting late now, and she had to go back to cook for her master and junior sister. Otherwise, if she missed the meal time, when they took a bath in the evening, that hateful guy would have to pick up bamboo strips. There is no way to slap her on the butt. She, Fairy Mo, has no ability to resist those two terrible guys, nor does she want to endure that shameful humiliation.
After thinking about it, she hurried forward for a while. When she found that there was no one around, Mo Caihuan suddenly activated her magical power to watch the stars in Wuzhuang, causing her figure to disappear in an instant in the square where the dignitaries of Xu Jing lived. City street corner.
But...
What Mo Caihuan didn't know was that because she didn't go back for a long time, a certain arrogant little girl from her family, the master, and her even more angsty little junior sister had already come to Xu Jingli together and found the best restaurant.
At this time, they were feasting on their meal in a private room, and even specifically asked the cook to help them prepare the 'Casserole Eel Pot'. How could they remember her as the 'Mo Fairy'? 'The presence?
