Chapter 235 - 167: Fairy, Witch, All Are Ancestors_3
A few days later, at the Hehuan Sect.
A mature and plump figure left silently, heading for the Daqian Empire, with the destination being Yonchang Manor in Yuanzhou, Han Mansion on Chengsheng Mountain.
Previously, Yan Liulong had thought to wait and observe further, but she hadn’t expected the opportunity to come so swiftly.
There seemed to be signs of internal strife in the Daqian Empire!
The new patriarch Li Feiyu, in a fit of insanity, had actually slain the Daqian National Teacher and killed his three disciples as well, capturing one of the female disciples.
This event had a massive impact and had already spread throughout the Daqian Empire and beyond.
Various powers believed that the Lord of the Li Manor had done so in order to take Fairy Li as a concubine, otherwise why would he act with no apparent cause or grudge?
This caused a great deal of fear among the powers with high-quality female cultivators, worried that the Lord of the Li Manor might suddenly descend upon their forces and annihilate their families and sects.
Thus, many factions took a nearly identical approach, persuading the lofty ladies within their sects or families to become concubines to the Lord of the Li Manor, perhaps even wives.
The Daqian officials made a statement the same day to clarify, dispelling rumors that the National Teacher had a grudge with the Lord of the Li Manor—that his actions were not baseless, nor were they because of Fairy Li.
The Daqian officials also cited the widow of the National Teacher as an example, asserting that the Lord of the Li Manor was not as they imagined; otherwise, how could he have spared the widow of the National Teacher?
When it came to the true Martial Realm Emperor Wu, the Lord of the Li Manor, the Daqian officials couldn’t be very explicit, but believed that all factions could understand the implication.
Was the National Teacher’s widow lacking in talent, or low in cultivation? Was she not beautiful in face, figure, and demeanor? The Lord of the Li Manor had spared them, so what else were you worried about?
After this clarification from the Daqian officials, the various powers were somewhat reassured, ready to wait and see again. If things didn’t improve, for the continuation of their sects and families, they were prepared to send their most exceptional women to the Li Manor to become wives or concubines.
The Daqian officials hadn’t expected that an event occurring a month later would harshly slap their faces, causing all the factions to panic again and hastily prepare to send women.
Currently, Yan Liulong did not know of the future events; she only knew that the two True Martial Realm Emperor Wus of the Daqian were no longer in accord, not as close as before.
Yan Liulong also didn’t believe the various parties’ dispelling of rumors, scoffing at the notion. Would the venerable Zhengxiong ancestor believe them?
With the two True Martial Realm Emperor Wus in an unseen standoff in the Capital City, they barely had the time or energy to care about other places. The Daqian Empire’s Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmasters likely had no mind to pay attention at the moment either.
This was the perfect opportunity for Yan Liulong to sneak into Jizhou, capture Han Li, and bring him back to the Hehuan Sect. Otherwise, she could not reconcile herself.
She had already planned how to deal with Han Li, starting with administering one hundred and eight types of whipping as a greeting, then slowly harvesting his essence to let him experience the prowess of the Hehuan Sect, so in his next life he wouldn’t dare to offend the Hehuan Sect again.
Unnoticed, Yan Liulong arrived in Yuanzhou. After confirming her direction, she continued towards Yonchang Manor on Chengsheng Mountain.
“Huh?”
In the midst of Chengsheng Mountain, Han Li was leisurely strolling with Yun Miaoyi when he suddenly became aware of a powerful presence entering the range of his Spiritual Sense.
It was an unfamiliar Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmaster, merely at the first tier. Han Li initially did not want to bother with her, but unexpectedly, this person was heading straight for Chengsheng Mountain.
His Spiritual Sense instantly investigated more carefully and discovered that this was a female cultivator, exuding a captivating and seductive aura, unmistakably a cultivator of the demon path.
Old Patriarch Han’s eyes brightened with the thought, ‘Isn’t this delivering comfort right when one is drowsing?’
Just a few days ago, while subduing Fairy Li, he had thought how nice it would be to train a demoness, and now one had come knocking at his door.
However, Han Li did not act immediately, deciding to let Yun Miaoyi see who this was first.
If it was a self-respecting female demon path cultivator who was still a virgin till now, Han Li would consider taking her as his wife, as she had the qualifications in terms of appearance, talent, and cultivation.
If it was a female demon path cultivator who did not value purity, she could become a servant concubine or female slave, satisfying his desire to train a demoness.
“Yun Yun, I’ll take you to meet someone. Do you recognize her?”
Han Li whispered this into Yun Miaoyi’s ear while nibbling on her earlobe.
Yun Miaoyi looked somewhat puzzled but still nodded gently.
In the next instant, Han Li, with Yun Miaoyi in his arms, disappeared from Chengsheng Mountain and appeared above Yan Liulong, concealing his own aura as they followed her.
“Yun Yun, do you know her?”
Han Li felt that Yun Miaoyi might recognize her.
This female demon path cultivator came from the Yinyang Sect, where Yun Miaoyi was originally a member. Given that there were only so many Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmasters in the Yinyang Sect, all with known names and reputations, it stood to reason that Yun Miaoyi should know her.
Yun Miaoyi looked and her pupils shrank, surprise appearing on her pretty face, “It’s actually her.”
Seeing Yun Miaoyi’s expression, Han Li knew that she recognized the demon path female cultivator and asked with a smile, “Yun Yun, who is she? Why is she heading for our Chengsheng Mountain? She seems to bear ill will.”
“She couldn’t possibly be coming to save you, could she?” Han Li said teasingly.
“Hmph, she would never come to save me, and she certainly doesn’t know I’m on Chengsheng Mountain,” retorted Yun Miaoyi with a glance at Han Li.
Continuing, Yun Miaoyi said, “Husband, this person is Yan Liulong, the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect. I suspect she’s here for you.”
“I see, so it’s her. But why would she come to target me?”
His eyes shining upon hearing this, Han Li immediately tagged Yan Liulong as to-be-tamed; this woman had quite the reputation and could only be a servant concubine or female slave. But why would she target him without any apparent reason?
