Chapter 46 Han Li Gives Up the Pillar
Chapter 46 Han Li Gives Up the Pillar
Wan Tianming's impressive appearance also led Han Li to speculate about his identity. Even Ji Yin was wary of him, so could he be a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert?
Suddenly, a rumbling vibration came from the passageway, and the entire hall trembled slightly.
Apart from those Nascent Soul stage cultivators, all the cultivators on the field stared in astonishment at the passageway.
As the tremors grew louder, an unusually tall figure appeared at the entrance of the hall.
A strange man with curly yellow beard and a tight blue robe walked in. With each step he took, the ground seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and the entire hall shook! His muscles were bulging, his bones were like iron, and he exuded a fierce and oppressive aura.
The appearance of this person will draw the attention of everyone present.
The Yin Ancestor and the old man in Confucian robes exchanged a glance, a hint of joy on their faces.
Wan Tianming's eyes flashed with a cold light, his gaze sharp as a knife, exuding murderous intent.
Like the old farmer, Tengoko and Mutengzi seemed to know who had come, and their faces showed a look of distress.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, this strange man surveyed the people in the hall as if no one else was there. Finally, his gaze settled on Wan Tianming, and he burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Sect Master Wan to be here too! How lively! It seems I made the right choice coming this time!"
The bearded man's lips curled into a slight smile, his right hand clenched into a fist, his eyes full of provocation. He said, "I have long heard of the power of the Myriad Laws Sect's Heavenly Net True Skill. I have always wanted to test my skills against Sect Master Wan. I wonder how many punches your Heavenly Net True Skill can withstand from me?"
Wan Tianming snorted coldly, showing no sign of backing down, and said, "Very well, very well. I have long admired Brother Man. The Heaven-Supporting Technique is known as the number one defensive demonic art in the Chaotic Star Sea, so my Myriad Laws Sect will naturally have to learn a thing or two from it!"
The Void Heaven Palace has just opened, and both of them are currently conserving their strength, so they naturally won't fight at this time; it's just a war of words.
After Wan Tianming whispered a few words to the old Taoist and the farmer, the three of them flew together to a jade pillar.
Then Tian Wuzi and the cultivator on the jade pillar exchanged a few words with smiles on their faces.
The old man, who was at the Core Formation stage, was immediately flattered and voluntarily gave up the pillar, then went to find another place.
Upon seeing this, the bearded man revealed a mocking smile, showing utter disdain for such behavior. After looking around, he let out a cold snort and then flew towards a jade pillar in a flash.
And coincidentally, this pillar was the very one where Han Li was standing.
Upon seeing this, Han Li's expression changed drastically!
"Get out! I want this place!"
The bearded man's massive body landed with a thud. As soon as he stood firmly on the pillar, he stared coldly at Han Li and said in an icy tone.
Han Li's expression suddenly turned ugly, and his hands in his sleeves clenched tightly together, his nails almost digging into his palms.
After a brief moment of silence, he suppressed the urge to attack and jumped off the jade pillar without a word.
Then, from the pillar came the wild laughter of the bearded man.
It wasn't just the bearded man who was laughing; Wen Tianren in the corner was also secretly chuckling.
"Haha, I saw the famous scene of Han Li giving up the pillar. It's a pity that I couldn't record it with the recording stone."
Wen Tianren felt a bit smug about Han Li's humiliation, lamenting that Han Li was still not steady enough and had become too reckless; how could he have gone up to the jade pillar?
Just as the bearded man occupied Han Li's pillar, Ji Yin and Qing Yi flew to the same pillar together.
Ji Yin transmitted his voice to the two of them: "Brother Man, Brother Qing, are you two planning to enter the inner hall to search for the treasures in the cauldron? I think that Old Ghost Wan and his group came prepared."
The bearded man plopped down, completely unconcerned by Ji Yin's words: "Hmph, in my opinion, they're all delusional. Ji Yin, you're no different. You think you can get your hands on the Void Heaven Cauldron with just two mutated fire pythons you stole? If the Void Heaven Cauldron were that easy to obtain, it would have been taken by the experts of the past long ago. How could it be our turn?"
"My purpose in coming here is to obtain more Longevity Fruits to refine Longevity Pills; I have little interest in the treasures inside the cauldron."
Barbarian Beard had also received the news, but he clearly looked down on the two mutated fire pythons of extreme yin, and replied in this way.
After a moment of surprise, Ji Yin remained calm and said, "Brother Man, you are mistaken. I have been planning this for many years and brought these two exotic fire pythons with me. I am quite confident this time, but I still need Brother Man and Brother Qing's help."
"Help you? What's in it for us!" Qing Yi heard Ji Yin's words and felt a surge of confidence, but he hesitated before asking.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yin smiled and transmitted his voice, "Besides the most important Heaven-Mending Pill, the Void Heaven Cauldron also contains countless top-tier ancient treasures left behind by ancient cultivators. Its power is definitely not insignificant. If you two can help me, I'll give you everything except the Void Heaven Cauldron and the Heaven-Mending Pill. How about it?"
Qing Yi said in surprise, "It seems that Brother Wu is indeed quite confident. Then I will lend Brother Wu a hand. Putting aside everything else, I am indeed quite interested in this Heaven-Mending Pill. Besides, we can't let that hypocrite Wan Tianming take it away."
Upon hearing Qing Yi mention Wan Tianming, the bearded man sitting on the jade pillar agreed, saying, "Fellow Daoist Qing is right. We cannot fall into their hands. If Wan Tianming makes a move, I, Man, will not allow myself to be at a disadvantage."
His tone turned cold, and he said to the two of them, "But this Heaven-Mending Pill, it's settled then, I'll choose first. You're not allowed to fight me for it, or don't blame me for turning against you."
Ji Yin and Qing Yi exchanged glances but remained silent. Clearly, they wouldn't give up the Heaven-Mending Pill once it was available. However, since they still needed to win over Man Hu Zi, neither of them openly refused.
"Hehe, that's enough, Brother Man. As long as you're willing to lend a hand when the time comes, my previous suggestion will naturally be counted towards your contribution."
After speaking, Ji Yin glanced in the direction of Madam Wen, then chuckled and said, "Madam Wen, I wonder if you would be interested in joining us in plotting to seize the treasures in the inner palace?"
"I'm here to gather some medicinal herbs and seek some opportunities. I will naturally go to the inner palace, but I won't be traveling with you. If you have any plans, you'd better keep quiet." Madam Wen coldly rejected Ji Yin's invitation without even listening to her conditions.
Previously, Madam Wen only intended to gather some medicinal herbs and did not plan to enter the dangerous inner hall. However, Wen Tianren's earlier telepathic message made her change her mind and decide to enter the inner hall.
Even so, Madam Wen did not want to travel with Ji Yin and the others.
Although Ji Yin did not manage to bring Madam Wen along, he was delighted to hear that Madam Wen was also going to enter the inner hall.
Although she doesn't align herself with them, Madam Wen is also a member of the demonic path. Her husband, the Six Paths Supreme Saint, is a top-tier demonic tyrant. Once they enter the inner hall, he will definitely side with the demonic path, thus giving them an extra Nascent Soul warrior. By not choosing to travel with them, Ji Yin can use this as an excuse not to share any treasures with her.
