Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

The horse-faced cultivator trembled and immediately kowtowed repeatedly, his voice trembling as he said, "Immortal Master, spare my life! I was only following orders and knew nothing else!"

Han Li's eyes turned cold, and with a flick of his hand, the horse-faced Taoist priest let out a miserable scream, his body crackling with arcs of electricity.

"I'll give you one more chance. If you can tell me about the demonic path, I can spare your life." Han Li's voice was icy cold.

The horse-faced cultivator was terrified. He knew Han Li was not bluffing, and in order to save his life, he had no choice but to tell the truth:

"Reporting to the Immortal Master, there are more than twenty of us here this time. The vast majority of us are cultivators in the middle or late stages of Qi Refining, with only a handful of cultivators at the peak of Qi Refining!"

"What about cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage?" Han Li pondered for a moment before asking.

"The Ni family cultivators made too many moves recently, and since this place is the heartland of the righteous path, those Foundation Establishment stage seniors have long since fled, leaving only us small fry..."

"In that case, you are indeed extremely loyal. You just mentioned the Feng family and the Four Symbols Sword Formation. I would like to know who exactly is the mole planted in Wuling?" Han Li nodded, looked at the horse-faced cultivator, and said.

"This...it's not that I don't want to tell you, senior, but I really don't know!"

The horse-faced monk had a mournful expression, looking utterly dejected.

"Don't know? Fine, I'll ask again. How many cultivators are there at the Wushan Demonic Path stronghold? What are their cultivation levels? If you still don't know the answer..."

Han Li narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the horse-faced cultivator in front of him.

"You'd better think this through before you speak. I did my research beforehand. If I find even the slightest lie, hmph!"

Startled by Han Li's words, the horse-faced cultivator was clearly flustered, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.

He never expected that the Foundation Establishment cultivator in front of him would know so much.

Not only did they know their inside man leader, but they also seemed to know the Wushan stronghold like the back of their hand, which made him hesitate.

"I...I've thought it through. There are a total of thirty-eight demonic cultivators at the Wushan stronghold, including three Foundation Establishment cultivators and the remaining thirty-five are all at the peak of Qi Refining."

The horse-faced monk spoke tremulously.

"Three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators!"

Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly.

The demonic cultivator who kidnapped Feng Yuye didn't say that. It seems this Wushan stronghold really is a den of dragons and tigers. With his early Foundation Establishment cultivation, it would be extremely difficult for him to deal with so many demonic cultivators alone. It seems this matter needs to be reconsidered.

“Mark the approximate locations of demonic cultivators near Wuling City, and you can get lost.”

As he spoke, Han Li took out a map from his storage bag and tossed it to the fat Taoist priest.

Upon hearing this, the horse-faced cultivator was overjoyed. Adhering to the idea of ​​sacrificing his fellow cultivators rather than himself, he marked out the approximate area where demonic cultivators were hiding within a radius of several dozen miles around Wuling City.

"Senior...can I leave now?"

The horse-faced cultivator respectfully handed the blueprints to Han Li and spoke slowly.

Han Li didn't say anything, but turned his back and gave the three rogue cultivators a wink.

Seeing this, the three exchanged glances and quickly understood Han Li's thoughts. They each piloted their flying swords and chased after the horse-faced cultivator in the direction he had fled.

There was no other way; this person knew far too much, and it was inevitable that he would alert the enemy. To avoid any unforeseen complications, Han Li had no choice but to have the three of them eliminate the threat completely, so as not to break his previous vow.

If they can't even handle such a small matter, then they don't need to follow me anymore.

Han Li closed his eyes to rest, secretly pondering his next course of action.

Shortly after, three streaks of light flew back, and the group successfully completed their mission. Han Li nodded slightly, indicating his satisfaction.

He unfolded the map and carefully studied the marked demonic cultivator strongholds. As the saying goes, delay makes things worse, and it was best to deal with these covetous demonic cultivators as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, the storage bags of those demonic cultivators didn't contain anything of value. After a quick glance, they casually tossed them to the three of them.

This thing is of little use to Han Li, but it is of immeasurable value to these Qi Refining stage rogue cultivators.

The benefits of handing over these demonic cultivators' storage bags to the White Emperor Tower are self-evident.

And so, led by Han Li, the three of them rushed through the night and, using the same method, eliminated the hiding places of the demonic cultivators in the vicinity one by one.

Unfortunately, there was no news of Feng Yuye.

During this process, Han Li tried his best to avoid taking action, since his purpose in inviting the three was to keep things under wraps.

In case of any uncontrollable situation during the clearing operation, they can make a quick getaway.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened. It seems the fat cultivator was telling the truth; those Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivators had already evacuated.

Of course, aside from the demonic spies hidden within Wuling City, it's unknown how they managed to remain hidden in the city for so long without being discovered.

In fact, Han Li had already figured out how to play the long game and catch big fish. Now the "bait" was ready, and he was just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

So, when the sun rose the next day, the news that three Qi Refining cultivators had single-handedly destroyed more than twenty demonic strongholds outside the city spread throughout Wuling City.

This was not something Han Li did intentionally; rather, the three of them couldn't contain their excitement and went to the White Emperor Tower to exchange their rewards.

Such a big thing happened, and it was impossible to hide it. Han Li was just doing it as a matter of course.

He refused to believe that the spies hidden in Wuling City could remain calm after learning this news.

After all, their mission was to deliver the Four Symbols Sword Formation blueprints. If all these demonic Qi Refining cultivators were wiped out, how could they complete their mission?

Attack where they must defend – that is Han Li's tactic.

However, this would put those three rogue cultivators in danger.

However, as the saying goes, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.

These were all their own choices; he merely exploited human greed. If they had chosen to stop while they were ahead, none of this would have happened.

At this moment, Han Li was sitting upright in the Fengfu Restaurant, gazing at the lake scenery in a daze.

"Master Hao, last night's fighting was truly exhilarating!"

"That's right, that's right! A demonic cultivator's storage bag costs two hundred spirit stones. This morning, the three of us took out more than twenty storage bags, which is more than four thousand spirit stones!"

"You have no idea how shocked those White Emperor Tower cultivators were."

"Hehe... If it weren't for Senior Hao's presence, how could we possibly have destroyed so many demonic strongholds on our own? It's all thanks to you, Senior. So please accept these two thousand spirit stones!"

Zhang Cuishan chuckled, took out a storage bag full of spirit stones from his pocket, and respectfully handed it to Han Li.

Han Li didn't take the storage bag. Instead, he picked up some peanuts from the side, crossed his legs, and said casually:

“You’ve all been caught, and you still have the leisure to be joking and laughing here.”

"I wonder what you mean by that, Little Immortal Master?" Lingxi Sanren cupped his hands and asked.

"There's a saying: 'The tallest tree in the forest catches the most wind.' Do you think the other demonic cultivators will let you go after you three have killed so many?"

"Given the current situation in Wuling City, can you guarantee that there are no Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivators secretly lurking within the city?"

"Let alone Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivators, the moment the three of you leave Wuling City, you'll probably be targeted and torn to pieces. Isn't that a disaster looming?"

Han Li chuckled and explained the whole story.

Upon hearing this, all three of them changed their expressions, and their hands holding the spirit stones trembled uncontrollably.

"Little Immortal Master, you must save us!"

After figuring out the whole story, the three of them quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

They are not disciples of those immortal cultivation families, nor are they disciples of the five major sects. If they are truly targeted by the demonic path because of this, even ten lives would not be enough!

"Heh heh, now you're scared? But what does this have to do with me?"

Han Li remained unmoved, displaying a shameless and persistent attitude.

"Senior, when we were purging the demonic path, you were the one who led the charge..."

"Who saw it? Now the whole of Wuling City knows that these things were done by the three of you. What does it have to do with me, Hao?" Han Li shrugged helplessly.

Hearing this, the three of them were utterly devastated.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Han Li changed the subject:

"You don't need to worry too much. This may not be a bad thing. At least it gives us the opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"After all, the mission of my Jin Hong Sword Sect is to eradicate the demonic path... Considering your previous unwavering loyalty, I will reluctantly lend you a hand."

Han Li peeled open a peanut, ate it, and then slowly responded.
