Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

"In that case, this disciple agrees." Han Li cupped his hands in greeting, gritted his teeth, and indicated his agreement.

"Hahaha... Good, very good. Han Li, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. In that case, your master will wait here for your good news."

Master Cangkun laughed heartily and said with a smile.

"Ru Shuang, I have agreed to this matter. You will work with Han Li to complete these three tasks."

Fairy Xuanlian slowly walked over, affectionately stroking Gan Rushuang's hair, her eyes full of love.

"Yes, master!"

Even now, Gan Rushuang hadn't realized what was happening, but considering how much her master had always taken care of her, and the fact that she could help Senior Brother Han, she didn't refuse.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Han Li inquired with Venerable Cangkun about the specifics of the three missions. Once everything was confirmed, the two took their leave.

Watching Han Li and the other person leave, a sharp glint flashed in Cang Kun Shangren's eyes, and his gaze fell on Xuan Lian Fairy beside him.

"Xuan Lian, are you really that confident in my disciple?"

“If it were before, I definitely wouldn’t have felt comfortable letting the two of them go out on missions alone, but now… even though they are only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, they broke the Blood Fiend Formation on their own and killed several Demonic Path Foundation Establishment cultivators. They have a plethora of supernatural powers and magical treasures, plus a fourth-grade spirit boat.”

"With such a powerful cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage around, as long as we don't encounter a Core Formation cultivator, we're absolutely safe. It's definitely safer for Ru Shuang to follow him than to stay by my side."

"Once the battle begins on the front lines, with my late-stage Core Formation cultivation, I won't be able to attend to so many things in the chaos. It would be better to take this opportunity to keep them away from the conflict and even strengthen their relationship. Even if they are questioned by their superiors later, they can use this merit to atone for their mistakes. The sect's higher-ups won't say much when they find out."

As a renowned strategist of the Star River Sword Sect, Fairy Xuanlian naturally had a more thorough understanding of the situation.

Hearing his beloved woman say this, Cang Kun nodded without refutating her.

Seeing that no one was around, he pulled the woman in front of him into his arms.

......

"Senior Brother Han, what were you talking about just now? What Senior Brother Yan Xiao? Three conditions? I'm completely confused."

Stepping out of the tent, Gan Rushuang looked on with curiosity, her gaze falling on Han Li beside her, and asked him a question.

"This is not the place to talk. I'll explain later. Right now, the most important thing is to get out of this troublesome place as soon as possible."

"good!"

Gan Rushuang nodded, asked no further questions, and turned to leave.

Looking at the heavy snow outside Fenglei Valley, Han Li's eyes gleamed.

No one knows when the Demonic Path will make its next move, so for safety's sake, it's best to leave as soon as possible.

To Han Li's surprise, his master agreed to his request so easily.

As for the so-called three conditions, Han Li believed that apart from the first one, the other two were not difficult at all.

There is one existing peak Foundation Establishment level demon beast in the Azure Stone Spirit Vein, so there is no need to spend too much effort searching for it.

As for the Five Willow Roots, there happened to be two or three in the storage bag Wan Xiaozhi gave him last time. He just needs to go to Wuling City on his way and ask Wan Xiaozhi and the others; it should be easy to find them.

As Han Li walked along the road, lost in thought, he unknowingly returned to his tent.

After quickly packing their belongings, they immediately headed to Gan Rushuang's residence.

That night, under the cover of darkness, the two left the camp without hesitation and flew towards Guangling City.

The area where the Star River Sword Sect is located is a million miles away from Wuling City.

Even with Han Li's mid-Foundation Establishment stage speed, it would take him ten years to reach the destination, even if he were using a fourth-grade spirit boat. By the time they arrived, it would be too late.

Therefore, the safest way is to go to Guangling City in Yizhou in the south and take the teleportation array.

On his way away from the front-line camp, Han Li glanced at the demonic army stationed outside Fenglei Valley from afar. Thinking of what had happened at the Qing Shi Spirit Vein, he frowned and pondered.

In his view, the fact that he was carrying the mysterious rusty sword had likely been exposed.

If they really are here for the mysterious rusty sword, then we must be extremely careful. This is one of the reasons why Han Li has been reluctant to return to the front line.

He had originally planned to find an excuse to slip away. Unexpectedly, Master Cangkun took the initiative to suggest that they withdraw from the front lines. How could he possibly miss such a golden opportunity?

"I wonder if all those demonic cultivators who infiltrated the Azure Stone Spirit Vein are dead. If they are all dead, that would be best, but if not..."

Han Li narrowed his eyes, staring blankly ahead, lost in thought.

After flying for almost half a month, the two finally arrived in Guangling City without any major incidents.

The sea shimmered under the bright sunshine, and streaks of light raced across the waves.

Guangling City remained unchanged, bustling with merchants and travelers.

Because it is close to the southern sea, the climate here is much better than that of the Star River Sword Sect, and it is not as cold.

Sensing the faint salty smell in the air, Han Li's gaze fell on the entrance to the North Gate.

After changing its appearance, it flew straight towards the city gate.

The number of guards here has increased several times compared to last time, and there are even Foundation Establishment cultivators secretly spying on us.

The prices of goods in the city are also several times higher than before, especially for magical treasures, pills, and spirit stones, which are hard currencies and are ridiculously expensive, likely due to the impact of the war.

In the great wars between mortal kingdoms, in addition to the contest of military strength, there is also a contest of money, food, and overall national power.

While money and food are not a concern in large-scale battles between cultivators, spirit stones and pills are of paramount importance.

These two things seem unrelated, but in the end, it's still a competition of resources and strength.

If he were a demonic cultivator, he would definitely try every means to sever the connection between Guangling City and the Xinghe Sword Sect.

It should be noted that this city has the most abundant resources in the entire Northwest and Southwest region. Once this economic lifeline is controlled, no matter how powerful the cultivators of the Star River Sword Sect and the Five Great Sects are, they will not be able to fight for a long time in the icy and snowy land without the supply of spirit stones and pills.

But right now, the other side not only didn't attack this city, but instead chose Wuling City, which is thousands of miles away. This is rather strange.

Either his real intention was something else entirely, or...

Upon careful consideration, Han Li felt increasingly uneasy.

Thinking back to my trip to the Heavenly Demon Eye a few years ago, I had a bad feeling.

After exchanging supplies at the city wall market with Gan Rushuang, the two arrived at the aerial teleportation pavilion in Guangling City.

Looking at the magnificent teleportation array before her, Gan Rushuang's mouth gaped open, her face filled with shock.
