A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 719: Heavenly Pole Sect

“You and Senior Brother Lv both didn’t leave here as agreed. How could I not come back?” Han Li sighed, speaking with a hint of helplessness. But after stealing a few more glances at Mu Peiling, he chuckled softly.

“However, I truly didn’t expect that during this time you would break through the bottleneck and enter the late foundation establishment stage. That’s really something to be congratulated on!”

“I only barely broke through half a month ago. This is all thanks to the effect of the lord’s pills. Otherwise, Peiling wouldn’t have reached this realm in such a short time,” Mu Peiling said excitedly, her delicate face blooming with even more charm.

Han Li’s mind was momentarily stirred, but soon after, he rubbed his nose and returned to his usual calm state.

“Is the reason you and Senior Brother Lv haven’t left here because of the Mulan spellmasters’ invasion?” Han Li casually asked without giving a definite answer.

“You’ve guessed correctly. Senior Brother Gu and I had originally planned to leave as soon as the trade fair ended. But unexpectedly, news of the spellmasters’ invasion came at the end of the fair. Senior Brother Gu, as a nascent soul cultivator of the Heavenly Dao Alliance in Tian Tian City, had to stay behind to discuss countermeasures with other factions, so I was also held back,” Mu Peiling bit her red lip delicately and spoke cautiously.

“I see, then it’s indeed not your fault. But Senior Brother Gu right now…” Han Li was about to continue asking when suddenly a look of surprise crossed his face and he stopped mid-question.

Mu Peiling was momentarily stunned and didn’t understand Han Li’s intention when suddenly a young man’s loud shout came from outside the pavilion’s formation.

“Fellow cultivator Mu, are you there? This is Lord Bai Shu. Please come out to see me.”

“Who is this person? Someone you’ve met recently?” Han Li’s spiritual awareness scanned outside and spotted a refined-looking core formation stage cultivator standing calmly outside the formation, looking up at the pavilion. He asked casually with a thoughtful smile.

Mu Peiling’s expression instantly turned pale the moment she heard the young man’s voice. Hearing Han Li’s question, she hurriedly explained:

“Lord, don’t misunderstand. This person is a disciple of an elder from the Heavenly Pole Sect. A few days ago, he accidentally saw me and has been pestering me ever since. I have already told him that I am the lord’s servant concubine, but he still won’t leave me alone. I will chase him away now.”

“Is that so? Does Senior Brother Lv know about this?” Han Li raised his eyebrows, his expression calm.

“I told Senior Brother Lv about it, but he seems to know that Heavenly Pole Sect elder and appears somewhat cautious. He told me to just humbly endure for now and wait until you return to handle the matter,” Mu Peiling said, relieved that Han Li was not angry.

“Oh! Heavenly Pole Sect. Isn’t that one of the four major righteous path sects? No wonder Senior Brother Lv is so careful. But a mere core formation stage cultivator daring to be so presumptuous? That’s a bit too bold. Come with me, and let’s go see what this youngster’s intentions really are,” Han Li said coldly after a brief pause, breaking into a sneer.

“As you command, lord!” Mu Peiling was startled but respectfully agreed.

Without a word, Han Li quietly stepped out of the room and headed downstairs, with Mu Peiling’s gentle fragrance following closely behind him.

“Fellow cultivator Mu, you finally… Huh! Senior is…” The young man who introduced himself as Lord Bai Shu thought the person emerging from the pavilion was the woman he admired, but upon seeing Han Li, he was taken aback. Recognizing Han Li’s unfathomable cultivation base, his expression quickly changed as he greeted him.

At that moment, Mu Peiling stepped out from behind Han Li and stood closely beside him.
