Chapter 181: Heavenly Demons Take Away
"Since the token is fine, shouldn't Daoist Friends tell me what the specific content of the mission is?" Han Li didn't mean to detour, and said directly.
"Before that, there is one more thing to confirm before I can decide whether or not I want to entrust the task to you. The fat shopkeeper said sharply.
"What's the matter?" Han Li frowned slightly when he heard this.
"The cultivation of Taoist friends. I need to confirm first, do Daoyou really have the ability to complete the task?" the fat shopkeeper stared at Han Li and said slowly.
Hearing this, Han Li no longer suppressed his own aura, and after a layer of blue light flowed on his body, the aura of the early stage of the True Immortal Realm was suddenly released unabashedly.
Although he only released a trace, it still made the fat shopkeeper's face change a few times, his face flushed, and he looked like he couldn't breathe.
Seeing this, Han Li hurriedly collected the aura on his body, but a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
The appearance of this fat shopkeeper was obviously transformed by the mask of the Impermanence Alliance, so he also concealed his aura, even if his divine sense was so powerful, he couldn't find out his cultivation without digging deeply.
And the breath he released was well controlled, just a little, how could it make the other party have such a big reaction?
"If you guess correctly, Your Excellency should be a true immortal early stage monk, right?" The fat shopkeeper's face was still a little pale at the moment, but after taking a few deep breaths, he also recovered a little blood, and then said.
Han Li didn't speak, just nodded silently.
"Alas...... If that's the case, I advise you not to take on this task. A hint of disappointment flashed in the fat shopkeeper's eyes, and he sighed.
"Why is this? In the previous mission, it was stated that as long as you were a True Immortal Realm cultivator, it was fine, but there was no specific realm. Han Li said with some confusion.
"Don't hide it from fellow Daoists, the content of the mission I posted actually needs to kill someone. As far as I know, that person is also a cultivator in the early stage of the True Immortal Realm, but his methods are not comparable to ordinary cultivators of the same level. I'm afraid that my friend and enemy will not be able to defeat him, but I will lose my life. The fat shopkeeper shook his head and said.
"If you are a monk of the same rank, you are confident that you will be able to fight even if you are defeated, and you will never lose your life. Daoyou can rest assured to explain the content of the task, and you have made up your mind and will not back down. Hearing this, Han Li smiled as the thought in his heart turned.
Seeing that his attitude was resolute and not like a fake, the fat shopkeeper forcibly dispelled the doubts in his heart and said:
"This ...... All right. The person who needs to be killed by Daoyou is named Bai Songshi, who is the current first assistant master of Baiyou Country. As long as the Daoist can successfully kill this person, he will receive the promised reward. ”
"The Grand Master of the Mortal Realm, isn't it true that immortal cultivators are not allowed to interfere in worldly affairs in the territory of the Candle Dragon Dao?
"Daoist friends shouldn't be from our Ancient Cloud Continent, right?" the fat shopkeeper didn't answer Han Li directly, but asked rhetorically.
"Not bad. Han Li admitted calmly.
"No wonder...... Daoist friends don't know that the number of mortals on the Guyun Continent can be trillions, and the large and small secular countries built are not tens of millions, but also millions. A country like Baiyou Guo seems to be controlled and managed by a secular royal family on the surface, but in fact, there are one or two immortal cultivation families behind the scenes, and they are the real ones in power. The fat shopkeeper explained.
"So, this white turquoise family's family is the actual ruler of the Baiyou Kingdom?" Han Li nodded thoughtfully and asked.
"Not bad. In fact, behind these immortal cultivation families, there are also higher-level immortal cultivation sect forces supporting them. However, because of some conventions and customs, if it were not for the disaster of destroying the country and destroying the species, these immortal cultivators would generally not interfere in the rise and fall of secular countries, so in the eyes of ordinary mortals, they would not notice the influence of these immortal cultivators at all. The fat shopkeeper nodded and continued.
"If that's the case, wouldn't I make a move against Bai Songshi to provoke the sect forces that support him behind him? Han Li was a little puzzled.
For this, Daoyou can rest assured. It's not the real turquoise that you're going to kill. The fat shopkeeper waved his hand and said.
Han Li was a little confused when he heard this, and was about to open his mouth to ask, when he heard the fat shopkeeper continue:
"What I asked Your Excellency to kill is actually an extraterritorial heavenly demon, and the real Bai Turquoise has already been taken advantage of by him when he ascended to immortality. In order not to attract attention, although this demon actually has the cultivation of the early stage of the True Immortal Realm, it has been suppressed in the Mahayana period, and its ......"
"There is something I don't understand, if there is really a Heavenly Demon who is haunting, it will definitely act secretly and will not reveal the slightest rumor, how can Daoist friends know so clearly?" Han Li raised his eyebrows slightly, interrupted his words and asked.
"This ......" the fat shopkeeper opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.
"What Daoyou said is really a bit incredible, if you can't further explain the reason, please forgive me for not believing it. Han Li said lightly.
When the fat shopkeeper heard this, he lowered his head and fell into deep thought, and was silent for a long time.
Han Li didn't urge, just waited quietly.
After a long silence, the fat shopkeeper slowly raised his head, as if he had made an important decision, and his eyes became firm.
I saw that as soon as he raised his hands, he reached out to both sides of his cheeks, and with a gentle support, he took off a cyan rabbit head mask full of spirit patterns under a burst of blue light.
As the mask was removed, the fat shopkeeper's body also lit up with a blue light at the same time, and under a burst of twisting, the figure contracted sharply, and his waist became more and more slender.
After a while, the previous fat shopkeeper had disappeared, replaced by a young girl who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.
This woman has curved eyebrows and apricot eyes, thin lips and beautiful nose, a pretty face, and some childish baby fat on her cheeks, and she is wearing a very well-fitting pink lotus skirt, which looks fresh and pretty.
However, if you look between the girl's eyebrows and eyes, you can see some slightly wrinkled marks, which makes her immature girlish breath fold a few points out of thin air, but it has a more distressing and sad color.
Han Li watched the change in the person in front of him, his face did not change in the slightest, but a trace of abruptness flashed in his heart.
The aura emanating from the girl's body at this moment is only in the late stage of transformation.
It's no wonder that he only released a trace of breath before, which made it react so much.
It's just that with such a cultivation, how did you join the Impermanence Alliance?
But when he looked carefully for a while, he found that there seemed to be something unusual about the girl, but what was unusual for a while, he couldn't see it clearly.
"There is a rule in the Impermanence Alliance that does not allow members to inquire into each other's identities, Daoyou know it, right?
For a true immortal standing in front of her whose cultivation was much higher than how many times she didn't know, this woman didn't show any timidity, and was still calm.
"Let's explain my confusion first. Han Li was unmoved and continued.
"Don't hide it from Daoyou, my name is Bai Suyuan, and she is the great-granddaughter of Bai Songshi, who was ...... back then" The girl took a deep breath and said.
In the girl's narration, Han Li roughly figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that the girl's parents died in an accident because of a trip in her early years, and because she was early in her childhood and had excellent cultivation roots, she was deeply loved by the ancestor Bai Turquoise in the clan, so she was left by her side and has always been deeply loved.
Later, the ancestor retreated and shocked the true fairyland, and was tragically taken away by the heavenly demons during the tribulation, and everyone couldn't see it, but she was the first to find out, but when she told the people of her own clan about it, no one believed it at all, not even her own grandfather.
At the beginning, the Heavenly Demon was still somewhat restrained, and there were not too many changes, and after it completely fused the memory of Bai Turquoise, it began to gradually control the entire Bai family, and through the identity of the Taishi, he stretched out his hand to the court of Baiyou Kingdom.
Since then, strange things have happened frequently in Baiyou's country, and from time to time the people of a city and a town suddenly disappeared, and the Bai family, as an immortal cultivator in this country, naturally sent people to investigate, but nothing was found.
Later, as the Heavenly Demon behaved more and more strangely, some people in the family finally discovered the abnormality and began to investigate the matter, but the Heavenly Demon took the lead and eliminated them one by one. The Heavenly Demon took a fancy to my talent and wanted to cultivate me into a cultivation furnace, so he kept me imprisoned in the forbidden land of the clan. Grandpa was killed by the Heavenly Demon when he rescued me......"
When Bai Suyuan said this, she couldn't help but stop, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.
"Bai Daoyou, please mourn. Seeing this, Han Li's expression did not change, and he opened his mouth to comfort him.
"When I fled, my grandfather stole this mask and ancestral token handed down from my ancestors and handed them to me, and instructed me to join the Candle Dragon Dao with the token to concentrate on cultivation, and when I have the ability, I will come back to avenge the family. But I'm only a mere Yuan Transformation Divine Stage cultivator, even if I cultivate without sleep, I don't know when I will be able to compete with that demon......" After a while, I listened to the girl continue.
"So you issued this mission in the Impermanence Alliance and came to find someone to help you kill him?" Han Li nodded and asked.
He was very impressed by what this woman said. Don't say that the True Immortal Realm, even if you advance from the Transformation Stage to the Refining Void Period, you also need to pass the level of "Five Elements in One", and Han Li is clear about the difficulties, not to mention the Heavenly Tribulation after Mahayana.
"That's right! I accidentally learned about the existence of the Impermanence Alliance from that mask, and I issued that mission. Over the years, the Heavenly Demons have never stopped searching for me, and I have been able to escape again and again thanks to this mask. It's just that if I can't find anyone to kill this demon, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide anymore. Bai Suyuan had regained her composure at this time and continued.
