A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 116: Turning Hostile

As soon as Han Li heard these words, he tilted his head back and yawned, then sneered coldly. "Framing me? Such bold words. Do you really think I'm afraid of your Mo Residence?"

"If it weren't for the fact that Mo Shi once truly was my master for a few days, teaching me quite a bit of medical knowledge, and considering that bullying women doesn't leave a good reputation, hmph! Just because of you all? I could wipe out every single person in your entire estate with one hand!" Han Li’s words were chilling to the bone, his expression turning grim.

Han Li had made up his mind. Since it was impossible to trick the Mo Residence into giving up the jade, and with the poison inside him, he had no choice but to take a hardline approach. He planned to show a little of his skill, let Madam Yan and the others know what he was capable of, then forcibly take the "Warm Sun Jade."

At first, when Madam Yan and the others heard Han Li’s harsh words, their faces were stunned, but soon they sneered. Third Madam Liu even laughed so brightly that she bent over with amusement.

Clearly, these women did not believe a word Han Li said. But not long after, the smiles on their faces completely froze.

Because Han Li suddenly extended a finger, and at the fingertip appeared a ball of fire. This fireball, about the size of a wine glass opening, caused the temperature in the entire room to rise sharply, making the women feel as if they had stepped into a blazing summer heat.

Han Li then coldly looked across the room, planning to find an object to use as a target for his "Fireball Technique," so these women could see just how powerful he was. But unexpectedly, before he could move, Madam Li blurted out fearfully, "Immortal cultivator!"

The others all turned pale, even the usually cold Madam Wu showed a flicker of emotion. Their gazes toward Han Li were filled with surprise.

These women knew what an immortal cultivator was, which caught Han Li off guard, but his expression grew even darker.

"You really are an immortal cultivator?" Third Madam Liu widened her beautiful eyes and asked half in doubt.

Han Li snorted, and without a word, flicked his finger slightly. The fireball whooshed over and struck the table beside Madam Liu, instantly turning it to ashes.

This action scared Madam Liu so much that her face immediately went pale. She hurriedly stood up, backing away several steps from the ashes, stopping only when her shock subsided. At that moment, her delicate and charming appearance would have driven any other man wild.

Unfortunately, Han Li had no time to admire the scene. He was now staring at Madam Li, who had called out "immortal cultivator," and asked darkly, "Second Madam, how do you know about immortal cultivators? Have you seen any others before?"

"I..." Madam Li grew fearful. She was greatly wary of Han Li’s immortal cultivator identity.

"Don't ask Second Sister anymore. Regarding immortal cultivators, I'll tell you!" Madam Yan leaned back, eyes closed in exhaustion, then interrupted Han Li’s questioning.

"Oh! Could you tell me, then?" Han Li rubbed his nose, his expression softening a bit.

"There’s nothing to hide. Many people in Jiayuan City know of the existence of immortal cultivators," Madam Yan said with a bitter smile as she opened her eyes.

"Some even witnessed battles between immortal cultivators outside the city. I've heard they can call the wind and rain, control fire and mist; each one seems like a living god," she continued, casting Han Li a strange glance.

"So that’s how it is!" Han Li patted the back of his head. He had forgotten that Jiayuan City was not a small place like Rainbow Cloud Mountain. Having immortal cultivators show themselves here wasn’t unusual. He himself had seen a Blue-Clothed Man just yesterday!

"Does Mo Shi also know about immortal cultivators?" Han Li suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Of course. My husband was also one of those who witnessed immortal cultivator battles firsthand," Madam Yan answered casually, seeing no reason to hide it.
