Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator
Chapter 90 The Art of Deduction
After Han Li left, the female cultivator in palace attire and the Taoist priest in green robes exchanged a glance. Just as they were about to give chase, they were stopped by the man surnamed Wen.
"I didn't expect this kid to be so wary. Fellow Daoist Wen, are you just going to watch him escape from here?"
The green-robed cultivator frowned, carefully put away the purple-gold Daoist's storage bag, and stared with a gloomy gaze in the direction Han Li had left.
“Yes, with the supernatural abilities that this Fellow Daoist Hao has displayed, he can contend with the Purple Gold Daoist with his early Foundation Establishment cultivation. He will surely become our great enemy in the future. Why don’t you let us pursue and completely annihilate him to prevent future troubles?”
The woman in palace attire spoke with icy eyes.
"Hmph! What do you know! This person is a disciple of Master Cang Kun of the Li Huo Sect. The Ascension Ceremony has just ended, and that Nascent Soul cultivator is likely still nearby."
"If we rashly kill him, and that Nascent Soul cultivator comes after us, do you think we'll still have a place to stand in Wuling City?"
"Besides, do you really think the three of us can definitely take them down?"
The man surnamed Wen snorted coldly.
"You mean this kid has a backup plan?" The woman in palace attire was taken aback.
Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Wen didn't say much. He stomped his foot slightly, and a faint array pattern appeared.
"A minor illusion array... I didn't expect this kid to be so capable, able to set up two large arrays right under our noses without anyone noticing. With the effectiveness of this illusion array, it can indeed trap us for a while."
The Taoist priest in the green robe frowned, his eyes filled with solemnity.
"If I hadn't broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage some time ago, and my divine sense hadn't surged, I wouldn't have been able to detect the existence of this formation. This formation wasn't set up temporarily, but was prepared in advance. Once we make a move, it's hard to be sure that it doesn't have other killing moves."
The man surnamed Wen narrowed his eyes slightly.
In fact, he had a good impression of Han Li. This kid was smooth, bold yet meticulous, cautious yet decisive. Unlike other righteous people who were all high and mighty, he really wouldn't want to fight Han Li if it weren't for their different allegiances.
"So what do we do now? This kid seems to be starting to suspect us."
The cultivator in the green robe slowly opened his mouth and asked.
"So what if there's suspicion? Without solid evidence, Wuling City won't take action against us arbitrarily."
"Put yourself in his shoes. If we were him, it would be understandable for us to be wary of strangers who suddenly appear, given that we don't know how many demonic cultivators there are."
"Moreover, with the infiltrated demonic cultivator, the Purple Gold Daoist, as a pledge of allegiance, how could the cultivators of Wuling City suspect us in a short time? This will actually be more advantageous for our next move."
The man surnamed Wen chuckled and said.
"Should we continue our actions against the Feng family?"
Hearing this, the two felt much more at ease.
"There's no need to continue targeting the Feng family. Also, notify the Wushan stronghold to cancel the bounty on the Feng family."
"Judging from this kid's attitude towards the Feng family, it's really not advisable to continue to antagonize them. After returning, we must gather all our forces to find Feng Yuye's whereabouts. As for that demonic cultivator who was kidnapped, there's no need for him to continue existing."
The man surnamed Wen felt a deep sense of dread regarding Han Li's extraordinary abilities and wisdom; he was truly unwilling to confront such a terrifying enemy.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, the two men clasped their hands in a respectful greeting.
With a flick of his wrist, a bronze compass appeared in his hand. He then made a hand seal, and a strange wisp of blood energy flew out, heading in an unknown direction.
......
Several hours later, in a mountainous area a hundred miles away, a streak of azure light flew out from the horizon and landed below a seemingly ordinary waterfall in a few breaths.
The azure light faded, revealing an ordinary-looking face. This person was none other than Han Li.
After confirming that no one was chasing him, Han Li breathed a slight sigh of relief, put away the three magical artifacts that were floating beside him, and walked straight into the waterfall cave.
With Han Li's arrival, the three people who were dozing on the stone bed in the cave immediately came to their senses, and one by one they stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Little Immortal Master, it's so good to see you're alright!"
"Is this the cave where the little immortal master used to live? The spiritual energy is indeed much more abundant than outside."
Seeing that Han Li was unharmed, Wan Xiaozhi and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
"Senior, may I ask about that Foundation Establishment cultivator of the demonic path...?"
"I killed him."
Han Li sat down on the stone bed, looked at the three people in front of him, and said indifferently, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
Upon hearing this, the three of them looked at each other in bewilderment.
They had experienced firsthand how powerful demonic cultivators were. Ordinary cultivators of the same level were rarely a match for demonic cultivators, yet Han Li was able to kill a demonic cultivator who was also at the Foundation Establishment stage. His supernatural abilities far exceeded their imagination.
This made the three of them even more in awe of the seemingly ordinary young man before them.
"Alright, things are almost settled now. With so many people dead this time, these demonic cultivators shouldn't make any rash moves anytime soon. Now we just need to wait for the storm to pass, and then no one will care about the three of you."
Han Li shook his head and said.
"Thank you so much, Little Immortal Master. If it weren't for your help, we would definitely be dead."
"If you, Little Immortal Master, do not despise our lowly cultivation levels, we are willing to serve you with utmost loyalty, even unto death!"
Lingxi Sanren smiled, stroked his beard, and said.
Han Li smiled, looking neither agreeable nor disagreeable.
"In that case, I will rely on the great help of you fellow Daoists from now on. I hereby guarantee that as long as you all do your best to serve me, it is not impossible for you to reach the Foundation Establishment stage one day."
"However, if you fellow Daoists wish to leave on your own, I will say the same thing again: I will not stop you."
The three of them remained silent, but respectfully bowed to Han Li.
"In that case, bring that demonic cultivator up here. I want to interrogate him myself."
Han Li nodded, quite satisfied with the three's performance.
"this......"
The three looked at each other, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
"What happened?"
Han Li pressed for an answer.
“Little Immortal Master, it’s not that we’re unwilling to hand it over, but that person is already dead.”
"Could it be that you guys killed him on a whim?" Han Li said calmly.
"How could that be! We just gave this kid a good beating, and he was jumping around like a baby on the way back! But not long after, he was dead."
Wan Xiaozhi spoke slowly.
"Take me to see it!"
Han Li slowly stood up and addressed the three of them.
Led by the group, Han Li arrived at a dense forest outside the cave.
Pushing aside the tangled bushes, a corpse suddenly appeared before them.
Han Li crouched down and carefully examined the corpse. He found that the corpse's skin was an eerie black, and that the flesh and blood seemed to have been absorbed by something, leaving only a skeleton.
"Could this be some kind of blood curse restriction?" Han Li wondered to himself.
He turned to Wan Xiaozhi and the others and asked, "Did you encounter anything unusual on your journey?"
Wan Xiaozhi and the others shook their heads, indicating that they had not found anything unusual.
Han Li frowned slightly, deep in thought. This blood curse must be extraordinary to kill a late-stage Qi Refining demonic cultivator in an instant.
It seems that someone doesn't want him to continue the investigation.
Han Li didn't know how many demonic spies were in Wuling City, which was why he refused to accept the storage bag at the time.
Who knows if any of these three are spies from the demonic path?
If they did something unseen inside and track us down, it would be a huge loss.
However, it now seems that my guess was not unfounded, otherwise how could this person have died so quickly? This does not make sense.
In Han Li's opinion, although the treasures of the Purple Gold Daoist are good, be careful that you may have the life to take them but not the life to enjoy them!
If that's the case, then they probably overheard Han Li's conversation with the Purple Gold Daoist.
If they continue to attack the Feng family, it means that none of the three are demonic cultivators, and the corpse in front of them is just a lucky find.
However, if the demonic path never attacks the Feng family again, it can only mean one thing: there must be a demonic spy among Fellow Daoist Wen's group!
Of course, Han Li also considered a few other possibilities in his mind. However, these were merely Han Li's guesses and had no real evidence.
After returning to Wuling City, Han Li concealed himself and entered the Feng Mansion.
Describe the general course of events.
Seeing that Han Li had not found Jiang Fengyuye, Madam Yan wept bitterly, believing that her daughter had most likely met with a tragic end.
In chaotic times, beautiful women often have tragic fates; without sufficient support, their end is often extremely miserable.
This is also why those beautiful female cultivators choose to attach themselves to the strong.
"Now that things have come to this, there is only one way left: perhaps we can find Miss Yuye's whereabouts."
"any solution?"
Upon hearing this, Yan and the others cast eager glances at Han Li.
