"This Junior wishes to leave the Exquisite Sound Sect and become… Elder Han's concubine."
After Wen Siyue spoke, Madam Fan's eyes flashed with a sharp glint, her thoughts unknown. As for Yun Xiaotian, he was furious, cursing, "Wen Siyue, the Exquisite Sound Sect raised you, provided you with resources, and gave you protection. Is this how you repay the Sect?"
Wen Siyue remained silent, her eyes fixed on Li Feiyu with hopeful anticipation.
Li Feiyu's lips curved slightly. "You wish to become this Han's concubine?"
"I ask Senior to grant my wish."
For this, Wen Siyue brought up her father, hoping Li Feiyu would grant her wish out of a meager sense of obligation to her father.
"Elder Han, don't listen to Wen Siyue's nonsense. She must have suffered a Qi Deviation from Cultivating."
Li Feiyu raised his hand, stopping Yun Xiaotian from continuing. "Since you are willing, then follow me for now."
"Elder Yun, Sect Leader Fan, since this Han's wish has been fulfilled, I shall take my leave."
Li Feiyu walked out, taking Wen Siyue with him. Madam Fan subconsciously glanced at Yun Xiaotian, who wore a furious and somewhat ferocious expression, causing her to instinctively retreat a few steps.
Madam Fan's guess was correct. Yun Xiaotian would not give up this excellent opportunity. In an instant, a black light shot out from his body, aiming for Li Feiyu's heart.
However, the black light stopped three inches behind Li Feiyu. A swirl of profound yellow mist enveloped a dark short sword, rendering it immobile.
Yun Xiaotian's expression changed. He immediately manipulated it, wanting to recall his Magic Treasure, but the short sword, despite vibrating with a hum, remained unable to break free from the profound yellow mist.
Li Feiyu continued walking. With one step, five or six streaks of green light shot out from his back, piercing directly through Yun Xiaotian's heart and Dantian with lightning speed.
The green light returned, re-entering his body.
Madam Fan watched, dumbfounded, finding Elder Han's Divine Ability unbelievable.
"A Core Formation Early Stage Cultivator killing a Core Formation Middle Stage Cultivator in one strike? Is this really a Core Formation Early Stage Cultivator?"
Li Feiyu patted his Storage Pouch, and a fiery red large cauldron flew out, taking Yun Xiaotian's corpse into it. He then took a second step.
Seeing Li Feiyu continue to walk, Madam Fan immediately said, "Elder Han, please stop."
Li Feiyu turned his head slightly and said, "Could it be that Madam Fan also wishes to detain this Han?"
In truth, Madam Fan still had doubts about Han Li's identity. She possessed a unique ability: she could remember the scent of anyone she had come into contact with.
But even though they had been very close just now, she hadn't smelled anything. It was as if all his auras were perfectly controlled.
"Elder Han is overthinking. Your elimination of Yun Xiaotian has truly helped my Exquisite Sound Sect greatly."
"He was originally a Demonic Path Cultivator. In fact, my Exquisite Sound Sect's authority is now controlled by the Demonic Path, and we are forced to do their bidding."
Li Feiyu said, "What does that have to do with me? I said earlier that I am merely a nominal Elder and would not interfere with the Exquisite Sound Sect's affairs. Yun Xiaotian attacked me himself; he brought his own death."
"I understand, so I wish to make a deal with Elder Han."
Li Feiyu turned to look at Madam Fan, a meaningful smile on his face. "Tell me about it."
"The Demonic Path controls my Exquisite Sound Sect because they want to build a Teleportation Array. Construction has already begun, and the past six months of collecting Materials were for this purpose."
"A Teleportation Array back to the Inner Star Sea?"
Madam Fan nodded. "The Demonic Path discovered a abandoned Teleportation Array on Huangming Island, but it's not badly damaged and can be used after repairs. They also want to establish one somewhere in the Outer Star Sea."
"If this Teleportation Array is completed, it can return to the Inner Star Sea, but it's one-way. Once you return to the Inner Star Sea, you cannot come back through this Teleportation Array."
Li Feiyu stroked his chin, lowering his head in thought for a moment.
He looked up at Madam Fan's graceful figure. "Then what does Sect Leader Fan wish to gain from this Han?"
"With Yun Xiaotian's death, my Exquisite Sound Sect's status here has greatly diminished, and we are very likely to be coveted and targeted by others. Therefore, I hope to borrow Senior Blood's Core Formation renown to temporarily protect my Exquisite Sound Sect. Of course, renown is just renown. If possible, it would be best to lend my Exquisite Sound Sect one or two treasures that can help us defend against external enemies."
"Sect Leader Fan, you certainly think well. However, it's fine. I can give you a treasure, enough for you to deal with Core Formation Cultivators."
"However, remember that if you dare to leak even a shred of my true information, even if others don't kill you, I will certainly not be soft-hearted."
Sect Leader Fan's delicate body trembled. "That is natural. If people knew Elder Han had appeared at my Exquisite Sound Sect, I fear we would face utter annihilation in an instant."
"As for those who have seen you before and know your identity, I guarantee they will not leak any information."
Li Feiyu nodded, patted his Storage Pouch, and a Blood Beast Puppet flew out, landing in the courtyard.
"This is a Core Formation Middle Stage Puppet. I'll temporarily entrust it to you. With your Late Foundation Establishment stage Cultivation, you can barely activate it."
Madam Fan's eyes lit up, revealing a look of pure joy. "Thank you, Han—no, thank you, Senior Blood, for bestowing this treasure."
Li Feiyu took Wen Siyue and flew towards Mist Island. Along the way, he thoroughly checked her, inside and out, ensuring no one had left any hidden tricks on her before bringing her back with peace of mind.
Wen Siyue gave the sea map to Li Feiyu. After Li Feiyu brought her back, he had her open an Immortal Cave next to Han Li's, and told her which one was Han Li's Immortal Cave.
Then, he gave her two bottles of Foundation Establishment Medicinal Pills.
Coincidentally, his Second Primordial Spirit was still in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and he had refined many Medicinal Pills of that level, with some remaining.
"You may Cultivate in seclusion here with peace of mind. If you run out of Medicinal Pills, you can come to my Immortal Cave to find me. I should return after being out for one or two months."
"Thank you, Elder Han."
Li Feiyu, suppressing a laugh, shot into the sky.
Tricking Han Li was truly a very interesting thing to do.
A month later, Li Feiyu arrived at the target Sea Abyss area. Since this was the lair of high-level Demon Beasts, he concealed his figure, hid his traces, and advanced cautiously.
Two days later, Li Feiyu arrived at the target small island.
According to his recollection, when Han Li went to find it, the Split Wind Beast had just passed its second stage of shapeshifting and was in the process of stabilizing its form successfully.
There were still more than thirty years to go, so now, the Split Wind Beast was very likely still at Level 8 peak, preparing for Level 9.
"The Split Wind Beast is very fast and masters wind evasion. I wonder if Crimson Crow's Golden Crow Transformation Divine Ability can surpass it."
If Crimson Crow reached Level 8, Li Feiyu would naturally be 100% confident it could far surpass the Split Wind Beast, but as of now…
"If not, I'll just go all out."
The longevity liquid was his greatest trump card; most crises could be overcome with it.
Thinking of this, Li Feiyu felt confident and began to visually search for the cave entrance Wen Siyue had mentioned.
The cave was very deep. As he went down, the ground and surrounding walls became increasingly damp, and he could occasionally hear dripping sounds.
After about a quarter of an hour, he turned a corner, and his eyes suddenly brightened, revealing a huge natural cave, over a hundred zhang wide and more than ten zhang high.
The stone walls and the cave ceiling flickered with a faint green light, and in the center was a steaming, azure blue pool.
Around the pool, some strange plants grew.
Li Feiyu's gaze fell on those plants. There were several black, inch-long small grasses there.
His face showed a hint of excitement. This was exactly what Han Li had told him the thousand dew grass looked like.
Li Feiyu didn't hesitate. He flashed in front of the thousand dew grass, patted his Storage Pouch with one hand, and a jade box flew out. With the other hand, he pulled up the thousand dew grass, roots and soil included, placed it in the jade box, and put it into his Storage Pouch.
"That was really easy. Is the Level 8 Split Wind Beast not home?"
"Never mind, let's leave first."
Li Feiyu quickly flew away. However, just as he exited the cave and arrived outside the small island, he encountered the returning Split Wind Beast.
It was a green-robed Yao Cultivator, with a body shape and attire no different from a human's, but its head and the wings on its back were still those of a Demon Beast.
They stared at each other.
Li Feiyu suddenly raised his hand, a smile on his face, and said, "Brother Feng, just returned? What a coincidence!"
