Chapter 709: Shape Transformation into the Mountain
Before long, Yuan Kun successfully purchased all the necessary items. He left the small city with two subordinates and flew toward Linglong Mountain on their magical artifacts.
However, just twenty or thirty miles out of the city, a flash of silver light appeared in the air ahead. A stunningly beautiful and enchanting young woman materialized, smiling sweetly at the three men, exuding an extraordinary allure.
“We are disciples of the Moon Veil Sect. Senior, may I ask who you are...” Although Yuan Kun’s cultivation base was low, the strange appearance of the woman immediately told him she was no ordinary person. He quickly summoned the sect behind him as a precaution, ready for any unforeseen danger.
But the woman didn’t wait for him to finish. She let out a soft laugh and parted her red lips, releasing a plume of pink fragrant mist from her mouth. The mist seemed slow, yet instantly reached the three men, enveloping them completely.
Poor Yuan Kun, with his shallow cultivation, had no resistance at all. After inhaling a faint enticing fragrance from the mist, his mind grew heavy and he lost consciousness.
The three men immediately flipped over and fell, plummeting toward the ground.
The woman showed no hesitation. With a flick of her long sleeves, a white glow shot forth, enveloping the three men and pulling them back to her side.
Lowering her head slightly to glance at them with bright eyes, the woman smiled happily. A silver light surrounded her body as she flew away with the three men, disappearing from sight in an instant.
After flying over ten miles in white light, they landed in a deserted forest in the wilderness.
Under a large tree sat a young man in a blue robe, cross-legged. His expression was calm and indifferent as he closed his eyes to meditate.
Suddenly, the white light appeared before his eyes. The glow retracted, and Yuan Kun and his two companions silently lay on the ground before the young man.
The woman descended lightly from the sky and stood respectfully beside the young man, saying, “Master, the people have been brought here. They claim to be cultivators of the Moon Veil Sect. We shouldn’t have made a mistake.”
“Did you alert anyone else?” The young man opened his eyes calmly and asked.
Of course, this was none other than Han Li, who had traveled tirelessly for more than half a month to finally arrive in Beiliang Kingdom.
Since he planned to secretly find Nangong Wan, he naturally wouldn’t openly visit the sect to avoid unnecessary complications.
Therefore, he needed to learn about the Moon Veil Sect’s situation on Linglong Mountain. He had delayed a day in the small city to find cultivators from the Moon Veil Sect.
Having advanced step by step from a low-stage cultivator, Han Li was well aware that lower-stage disciples—especially female cultivators of the sect—could not fully distance themselves from the secular world like advanced cultivators. The towns closest to the sect were naturally the favorite haunts of these low-stage disciples.
With Han Li’s powerful spiritual awareness, no cultivator in the city could escape his search.
Originally, Han Li had been targeting another Moon Veil Sect disciple in the qi refining stage.
But when Yuan Kun, dressed as an administrative official, appeared, Han Li naturally changed his target.
Higher-ranking disciples naturally knew more about the sect’s affairs.
Han Li attached a thread of his spiritual awareness to Yuan Kun. After ordering Silver Moon and the others to kidnap the three as soon as they left the city, he quietly waited in this forest.
“Master, rest assured. These three’s cultivation bases make them easy prey. No other cultivators noticed,” Silver Moon said cautiously, sensing Han Li’s bad mood and wisely avoiding casual chatter.
“Good! You did well this time. Your demonic fox body is proficient in illusion techniques. Use these abilities along with my dream induction technique to make this one unknowingly reveal everything,” Han Li said coldly, staring blankly at Yuan Kun.
