Chapter 666: Liu Yu
“Fellow cultivator, you truly are exceptionally wise. This is indeed the Heavenly Dao Alliance Luoyun Sect. Miss, you should hurry over; my master is still waiting!” Silver Moon’s eyes shimmered as she urged calmly.
“Alright! I would also like to meet this senior,” the woman in white replied, quickly regaining her composure. “Please lead the way, fellow cultivator.”
Silver Moon smiled faintly and glided out of the quiet chamber with elegant steps. The woman in white silently followed closely behind.
After a moment, the two women arrived at the main hall, one ahead and one behind.
Han Li was seated on a stone chair, his clear eyes fixed on a massive light shield in the center of the hall. Inside was a spiritual beast, furiously ramming its head against the barrier. However, the earth-elemental seal remained unmoved. The deep yellow shield was as solid as a rock.
Liu Yu carefully examined the spiritual beast. Its body resembled a blue ox, armored with scales on its back, and its four hooves were pale silver. It was indeed a rare iron rhinoceros beast.
Though this type of spiritual beast wasn’t an ancient exotic species, it was still an extremely rare sight in the immortal cultivation world. It seemed that the recently exterminated Fu Family of the Nascent Martial kind had such an ancestral iron rhinoceros beast. It was said to be able to rival a mid foundation formation cultivator without losing ground. Could this be that very beast?
If so, then the person before her must have wiped out the entire Fu Family and seized this spiritual beast.
Liu Yu was secretly shocked by Han Li’s ruthlessness. Falling into the hands of such a nascent soul stage cultivator was truly ominous!
At the same time, she felt a hint of suspicion due to Han Li’s youthful appearance.
After all, male cultivators rarely practiced cultivation techniques that preserved youth. By the time one reached the nascent soul stage, they generally appeared middle-aged or older. Of course, that middle age was relative to a male cultivator of three or four hundred years, as the higher the realm, the slower the aging.
Therefore, in the immortal cultivation world, some elders even addressed some middle-aged cultivators as “senior uncle” or “uncle ancestor,” which was not unusual.
At this moment, Silver Moon stood before Han Li with a solemn expression and said:
“Master, fellow cultivator of the Imperial Spirit Sect, I have brought her here.”
“Mm! You may leave first,” Han Li nodded and said casually.
“Yes, Master!” Knowing her transformed form couldn’t last long, Silver Moon smiled and quietly withdrew.
Liu Yu anxiously stepped forward and gave Han Li a graceful bow. Then she revealed a gentle and tender expression and stood quietly to the side, appearing particularly obedient and endearing.
But Han Li coldly glanced at her once before turning his gaze back to the iron rhinoceros beast inside the light shield, flicking his finger.
A thin arc of electricity shot from his fingertip, piercing through the light shield directly and striking the spiritual beast’s body.
Electric arcs danced all over the iron rhinoceros beast, which let out a mournful cry before collapsing with a thud. Its four hooves twitched uncontrollably, unable to stand.
Seeing Han Li easily strike down such a powerful spiritual beast, the delicate color on Liu Yu’s face changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. However, Han Li’s spiritual awareness detected clearly that her heartbeat had quickened.
At this point, Han Li’s gaze returned to the woman in white, and he calmly asked:
“What is your name, fellow cultivator? Why have you been following me without cause? It’s understandable that cultivators from the Ghost Spirit Sect and the Demonic Flame Sect would seek me out, but your Imperial Spirit Sect—I don’t believe I’ve provoked you.”
Hearing this, Liu Yu was momentarily stunned, then her expression became somewhat awkward. Biting her red lips gently, she replied quietly:
