Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator
Chapter 72 Heavenly Star Demon Shadow
"What is your name? Where do you live? Where are you from?"
After the little girl sat down, Han Li smiled, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and asked.
"My name is Lan Xuan'er, and I am from Qingniu Town."
"Where are your family members?"
“I don’t know either. My parents disappeared when I was very young. I grew up with my grandfather. My grandfather also passed away last winter. Now I live alone.”
Lan Xuan'er responded.
Hearing this, Han Li remained silent and reached out to stroke the little girl's forehead. Lan Xuan'er, however, thought Han Li was going to hit her and quickly raised her arm to cover her head.
Looking at the bruises on the little girl's arm, Han Li's eyes were filled with heartache. He reached out and lifted one of Lan Xuan'er's arms. With a flash of light in his hand, the bruises on her arm were completely healed.
Lan Xuan'er's eyes widened at this sight, staring intently at Han Li. It took her a while to react, and her big eyes were filled with admiration.
"Big brother, are you an immortal?"
"An immortal? You could say that!"
Han Li smiled, put down his teacup, and said.
"I actually encountered an immortal! That's wonderful, Qingniu Town is saved!"
As the little girl spoke, she threw herself into Han Li's arms, seemingly regarding him as her strongest support.
In her mind, immortals are omniscient and omnipotent, and only immortals would not despise her beggar status.
"What did you mean when you said Qingniu Town was saved?"
Seeing this, Han Li gently rubbed the girl's cheek and asked her a question.
"It all started with a legend from Qingniu Town..."
After Lan Xuan'er's explanation, Han Li finally had a general understanding of the situation in Qingniu Town.
Thirty miles west of Qingniu Town lies a dangerous place called the Suspended Cave.
This suspended cave is unfathomably deep; falling rocks from thousands of feet can be heard without a sound, hence it is known locally as the Bottomless Cave.
Local legend has it that a giant spider with a human face and red hair lives under the suspended cave, and it comes out to hunt and eat people every night.
At first, everyone was skeptical of the rumor. After all, the story of the Suspended Cave has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is mostly fictionalized and fabricated to scare children and prevent them from running around at night.
What these people didn't expect was that in recent years, strange things began to unfold around the suspended cave.
Some villagers living near the suspended cave began to disappear without a trace. At first, no one took it seriously, thinking that they had been carried away by jackals, wolves, tigers, or leopards.
Lan Xuan'er's parents also disappeared around that time, and their fate remains unknown to this day.
Later on, these disappearances became increasingly serious, and the vast majority of the missing persons were young and middle-aged men.
Hearing this, Han Li finally understood why those people were looking at him so strangely.
But if the so-called human-faced spider really exists, why were we at peace until recently when it started causing trouble?
In Han Li's view, the spiders eating people was just a cover-up, and the real mastermind behind it was likely those demonic cultivators!
Thinking about this, Han Li couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed.
To be honest, he didn't want to confront these demonic cultivators head-on at this time, since who knew if there were any Foundation Establishment cultivators among the perpetrators.
If you were to encounter a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Demonic Path, even ten lives wouldn't be enough for them to kill you.
Han Li smiled bitterly, and after listening to the little girl's story, he stared out the window without saying a word.
Seeing this, Lan Xuan'er wisely refrained from disturbing Han Li, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense for a moment.
Fortunately, several waiters came in carrying food, breaking the oppressive atmosphere.
The little girl hadn't eaten for several days. Seeing so many delicious dishes, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva. After getting Han Li's permission, she immediately began to wolf down the food.
Eat slowly, and you can have more if you're still hungry.
Seeing the little girl wolfing down her food, Han Li smiled, took out two taels of silver from his pocket, and gestured to the waiter to bring some more dishes.
While healing the little girl, Han Li inadvertently discovered that the girl possessed spiritual roots, specifically fire and wood spiritual roots, indicating a promising aptitude.
The Li Huo Sect offers extremely generous rewards to cultivators who discover exceptional talent.
As the saying goes, meeting is fate, and lending a helping hand is a good deed.
However, Han Li dared not be careless about the Suspended Cave and the whereabouts of the demonic path. After transmitting a few words through his divine sense, he stared silently out the window.
"what!"
Just then, Han Li let out a soft "hmm," his eyes shifting between light and shadow.
After giving the little girl some instructions, he suddenly vanished in a flash of light.
Looking at the empty seat, the little girl pinched her arm hard, and after confirming that she wasn't dreaming, she giggled.
He used his earth-遁术 (earth-遁术, a technique to escape from underground) to leave Qingniu Town, concealing his aura with the Taiqing Dongxuan True Light, and followed the person all the way to a remote wilderness.
Seeing that the man had stopped, Han Li immediately halted and carefully examined the surroundings. A faint smell of blood could be detected in the air, but no clear signs of a struggle were visible.
After using his divine sense to investigate, he did not sense anything unusual, but he could clearly detect that someone had performed some sinister magic here.
Judging from the range of this evil spell, the one who made the move should be a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, not a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Thinking of this, Han Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and became extremely alert.
"Boom!"
Just as Han Li was pondering, a cracking sound rang out.
A red-robed cultivator unleashed several streams of heavenly fire, smashing them wildly towards the evil array that enveloped the area, destroying most of it.
On the open ground to the side lay several mortal corpses that looked as if their life essence had been drained.
"Damn it, what bad luck! It's that guy again!"
Sensing the fluctuations of the great formation, a cultivator dressed in a yellow robe stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with a cold killing intent.
"I certainly wouldn't dare to offend your Foundation Establishment stage inner disciples from the Fire Sect, but you, a mere Qi Refining stage disciple, dare to oppose us time and time again? Are you tired of living?"
Just then, another cultivator dressed in black bodysuit spoke in a cold voice.
"Hehehe... Since you've delivered yourself right to our doorstep, we won't be polite!"
The green-robed monk sneered.
As soon as he finished speaking, the dust on the ground rippled, and then a golden flying sword burst out of the ground, unexpectedly piercing straight through.
"you......"
The green-robed cultivator was terrified. Before he could react, the golden sword ripped open his belly.
At the same time, a figure slowly materialized, revealing an ordinary face. This person was none other than Han Li.
The sudden scene stunned everyone present. After sensing the aura emanating from Han Li, the two were immediately enraged.
"I didn't expect you to have an accomplice!"
"Those who dare to kill us, you must die today!"
After saying that, the two bared their teeth and brandished their magical weapons, attacking the two of them.
