Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 83 The Dilapidated Temple

"May I ask Elder Li, what is this 'Shadow Assassin Pavilion'...?"

Han Yi had an idea: Elder Li seemed to know something about the Shadow Fiend Pavilion. Since that was the case, he might as well press him for details…

"The Shadow Assassin Pavilion is an assassin organization that specializes in assassinations and selling information. As long as there is enough money, they dare to assassinate even elite disciples and high-ranking figures from major powers!"

"Moreover, they are very powerful, with strongholds in various cities of Da Xuan. I've even heard that they have branches in the barbaric lands of the South and North Barbarians!"

"In my opinion, this assassination attempt must have been orchestrated by Song Qing and the Song family!" Could the Song family really have such a big conflict with me?

It was just a minor argument with Song Qing. No matter how you look at it, the possibility of the Song family hiring an assassin to kill me is extremely low…

"Oh, may I ask Elder Li, do you know where the Shadow Assassin Pavilion's stronghold is located in Anyan City?"

A cold glint flashed in Han Yi's eyes. If all else fails, he'll find the stronghold, follow the clues, get information about the people who want to assassinate him, and then take care of them all!

If you want my life, you'll have to pay the price!

Elder Li choked upon hearing this.

He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked around the armchair a couple of times.

"Han Yi, the Shadow Fiend Pavilion operates in secrecy. I only know that their leader is called the Shadow Master, and that's all I know..."

"However, Han Yi, don't worry. I have already reported this matter against you to the sect, and they will definitely investigate it thoroughly and give you an explanation!"

Elder Li's face was full of murderous intent, as if he had been bullied by his own people.

"Thank you, Elder Li..."

Seeing this, Han Yi had no choice but to bow and ask no further questions.

When Elder Li spoke about Shadow Pavilion earlier, he seemed vague and unclear, and he felt that Elder Li was hiding something.

"The second reason I called you here today is to find you a place to stay."

"I heard from Li Feng that you're currently staying in restaurants and inns, but those places are crowded and unsafe. I have a few empty rooms at my residence; I think you might as well stay here temporarily. That way, you and Li Feng can look out for each other if anything happens..."

Living in the Li residence?

Doesn't that mean I have to report my every move to others, and my every action will be exposed to their eyes? Putting aside the inconvenience, the most important thing is, why is Elder Li suddenly so concerned about me?

Han Yi muttered to himself, staring at the teacup filled with emerald green tea in his hand, remaining silent.

Although his exposed strength is at the Bone Refining stage, at his age, he is considered a minor genius among the outer disciples of the Crimson Flame Sect.

However, if placed within the inner sect, they would be nothing more than a grain of rice in the ocean, completely inconspicuous, considering that even the guards of the Li family are Blood Refining stage martial artists.

Even though I have a very good relationship with Li Feng, he made an exception and found me a small courtyard when I entered the city, and also gave me a copy of "Thunderbolt Palm". I could say that he had done more than enough.

But now, they've made me live in the Li residence again...

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!

Elder Li's behavior was indeed baffling to Han Yi...

"Thank you for your kind offer, Elder!"

"After the sect's minor competition ends in a few days, if the assigned accommodations are unsuitable for living, I will definitely come over and complain."

Han Yi did not directly refuse Elder Li, but anyone could understand the meaning behind his words.

Haha, you're welcome anytime!

"A golden carp is no ordinary fish; you're destined for greatness..."

Elder Li was not angry. He walked up to Han Yi and patted him on the shoulder.

"The future of the sect belongs to you young people..."

Elder Li spoke with great enthusiasm and excitement.

"Junior Brother Han, why don't you stay for lunch? I'll keep you company for a few drinks!"

At the entrance of the Li residence, Li Feng was pulling Han Yi aside, inviting him to have lunch.

"No, Senior Brother Li, I have some things to take care of later. After you break through to the Meridian Opening stage, I will definitely be at Heyuefang and Zuixianlou to welcome you. We won't leave until we're drunk!"

Han Yi felt that Elder Li was acting strangely, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. In addition, he did have something else to take care of today, so he declined Li Feng's invitation.

"Haha, alright, it's a deal. I'll take your good wishes with a grain of salt..."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng was clearly pleased and burst into laughter.

"Oh, by the way, there will be some high-ranking members of the sect arriving for the sect's minor competition in a few days. Don't forget to come then..."

As Han Yi was leaving, Li Feng gave him a reminder.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Li. I will definitely be there on time..."

After leaving the towering city walls of Anyan, Han Yi soon arrived at the foot of a small hill.

"The dilapidated temple that A-Qiu mentioned should be on this mountain..."

Han Yi had previously instructed A Qiu to only inform him of important matters. He was planning to go find A Qiu to see what had happened.

call out!

Han Yi leaped up, as if possessed by a nimble cat, and soared to the top of another large tree. Then, he straightened his back, swung powerfully, and broke free of the forest.

"After mastering the Flying Swallow Kick, my speed and agility have indeed increased..."

After passing through the dark, damp, and mosquito-infested dense forest, Han Yi arrived at the small hill.

What came into view was a mountain god temple that had been abandoned for who knows how many years.

Is this where A-Qiu lives? The temple's roof tiles are broken and it leaks air everywhere. Looking through the holes, you can see that most of the unidentified statues inside have collapsed.

Moreover, it doesn't seem like anyone is there...

"Cough, cough..."

Is there anyone inside?

Han Yi frowned. He took small steps forward and pushed open the wooden door, which barely blocked out the light, with his foot.

On a grassy cot lay a pale-faced child, his hair disheveled, looking like a skinny monkey, his ribs faintly visible.

At this moment, he kept coughing and shivering, as if seeking shelter from the wind and warmth, and huddled in the corner.

"Cough, Ah Qiu, why are you up so early... cough..."

Upon hearing the sound of the wooden door opening, the little beggar looked up. What he saw was a handsome young man with a refined and dignified bearing.

"Ahem, ahem, sir..."

The little beggar shrank back into the corner, brushing off a layer of dust.

"I've come to find A-Qiu. Do you know where he is now?"

Han Yi didn't mince words and asked directly.
