Chapter 234: Secret Obstruction, Murderous Intent Suddenly Appears
Han Yi didn't know that the crisis was about to come, but even if he knew, the two sides had already made an oath of immortality, and he couldn't give up this trip.
Take the money and do the work.
After leaving Tiannan Immortal City and leaving the radiation range of the national destiny of the Immortal City, Han Yi used the Yi Yao secret technique to confuse the whereabouts of the two people and prevent people from tracking them.
Then.
He suddenly changed into a short and thin old monk. His temperament was completely different from before. He became unusually kind and friendly, but his realm did not change. He was still in the early stage of Jindan, which could avoid many troubles.
This change in the blink of an eye stunned Yu Qian.
It was the first time she saw a monk with such a powerful ability to change his appearance and breath. If she hadn't seen Han Yi change with her own eyes, if she was mixed in with other monks, she would never be able to find Han Yi again.
"This is a powerful secret technique."
"It was learned from the Da Gan Wanxian Pavilion. It is called the art of disguise. It can not only change the appearance of the body, but also change the breath."
Han Yi explained.
His expression at this moment was amiable and smiling, which made Yu Qian feel unreal. This was completely different from his previous rebellious expression. She nodded subconsciously.
Han Yi stopped talking, and his consciousness surged, heading towards Yuzhou Immortal City.
The Great Qin Immortal Kingdom occupied four of the nine states in the Yuheng Realm. Yuzhou was the southernmost. Yuzhou Immortal City was the center of the state. There were many large and small forces, sects, and immortal cultivation families gathered in Yuzhou Immortal City.
It took a full twenty-five days, seven days longer than expected, for Han Yi to arrive at Yuzhou Immortal City with Yu Qian.
Along the way, Han Yi did not take the conventional route, but took a few turns. It took a little longer, but relatively speaking, it was not easy to be ambushed along the established route.
This operation made Yu Qian convinced, and she also recalled the familiar action of Han Yi collecting the spoils after killing the three Tuoba brothers near the Yu family. Her understanding of Han Yi has become deeper and deeper.
This cultivator is definitely not a Jindan cultivator in the open of Xuandan Sect, but a cultivator who is hidden in the dark and unknown to the outside world. Moreover, in terms of realm, he is definitely not just in the early stage of Jindan, but at least in the middle stage of Jindan, or even in the late stage of Jindan.
Moreover, this cultivator must be doing dirty work in secret, and his subordinates must have killed countless people, whether it is killing people or collecting spoils, so he is so skilled.
Thinking of this, Yu Qian was not afraid, but felt much more at ease.
Both parties made an immortal oath. The more experienced this cultivator is, the stronger his combat effectiveness is, and the more cautious he is, the more beneficial it will be to her and the Yu family.
If this transaction can be completed smoothly, it is her and the Yu family's greatest hope.
Yuzhou Xiancheng is also huge, similar to Shudu.
In the history of Yuheng Realm, no immortal country has used this immortal city as the immortal capital, so it is not called Yudu. However, most cultivators are used to calling it Yucheng.
Yucheng is vast, and it uses the geographical division method of Shudu, from the outside to the center, it is divided into the ninth fairy ring to the first fairy ring. In fact, this division method is also the division method of most state cities in Jiuzhou.
The destination of this trip is in the sixth fairy ring of Yucheng, the Yuzhou branch of the Supreme Pavilion.
More than half a month ago, when setting off, Yu Qian had already given Han Yi the map of Yuzhou, including the distribution map of Yucheng.
After entering Yucheng through the fairy boat channel, Han Yi took Yu Qian and went straight to the eighth fairy ring. In the eighth fairy ring, he rented a fairy boat and rushed to the sixth fairy ring.
During this process, Yu Qian wore a mask on her face. This was a low-grade magic weapon that could change the wearer's breath and appearance. It was many times more advanced than the mask Han Yi had in the inner peak market of Xuandan Sect many years ago.
However, it was naturally not as convenient as the disguise technique.
At this moment, Yu Qian was already a young girl, following behind Han Yi, and the two were like grandfather and grandson.
In fact, this was also what Han Yi had agreed with her. The two of them acted as grandfather and grandson casual cultivators.
The two rented a fairy boat and went to the sixth fairy ring, arriving at the purpose of this mission. This made Yu Qian feel relieved, but Han Yi put away his kind face and looked even more serious.
The problem with this mission was not halfway, but at the starting point and the end point.
The problem at the starting point was solved by Han Yi, and the three brothers of the Tuoba family were killed instantly by him.
Then the biggest problem next was at the end point.
The Yuzhou branch of the Supreme Pavilion covers a huge area. Han Yi has not been to the headquarters of the Wanxian Pavilion in Gandu, nor has he been to the Wanxian Pavilion branch in Shudu, but he has been to the Wanxian Pavilion site in the eighth fairy court of Gandu. The site is huge, but compared with the Supreme Pavilion he saw at this moment, it seems too small.
This can no longer be called a "pavilion", but a huge palace complex. The outermost palace complex is for transactions between cultivators in the Qi training stage. The deeper you go, the higher the level of the cultivators served, including foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, and even special palaces reserved for the great power of transformation.
It must be said that the Supreme Pavilion is worthy of being the strongest business in Daqin. With this scale, Han Yi feels that the Ten Thousand Immortal Pavilion is definitely far inferior. After all, the backers of both parties are very different.
"Next, we have to find the cultivator who signed the agreement before, True Lord Kurumu?" Han Yi looked at Yu Qian behind him and confirmed it.
Yu Qian's eyes could not hide her excitement and nodded.
"That's right, this business agreement needs to find True Lord Kurumu and check the seal of the agreement to be considered truly over. It will not take effect on other people."
In her opinion, this trip was just one step away from success.
"In that case, let's go. Hope everything goes well."
Han Yi took the lead and walked towards the Supreme Pavilion, followed by Yu Qian.
Han Yi's aura at this moment was that of the Jindan stage, while Yu Qian's aura was still that of the late foundation building stage.
Han Yi showed his black iron-level identity badge, which was given by the Supreme Pavilion when he bought treasures such as the Immortal Boat Talisman in Tiannan Fairy City last time. There were still more than 900 points in it. If he reached 10,000 points, he could upgrade to a silver token.
After entering the transaction palace corresponding to the Jindan cultivator, Han Yi directly told the shopkeeper in the palace that he wanted to find the True Lord of Withered Wood. He had done business with the True Lord of Withered Wood before, and this time, he came to place a big order.
Although it seemed a bit inappropriate for a Jindan to find the True Lord, it was the case in the Supreme Pavilion. Business exceeding a certain amount was only in the hands of the True Lord.
And.
This was Han Yi's experience. She did not start with the affairs of the Yu family.
However,
What surprised him was that True Lord Kurumu was not here.
"Not here?"
"But Senior Kurumu clearly made an appointment with me this month. If it's late, I can't do this business."
"Or, you can ask where Senior Kurumu is and I'll go find him."
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged cultivator. Although he was only in the late stage of foundation building, he was neither humble nor arrogant in front of Han Yi, and his face was normal.
"Sorry, customer, if True Lord Worshiper is not in the building, we don't know where he went."
"How about this, fellow Taoist, leave your address. If the Worshiper Kurumu returns to the building, I will ask someone to contact you and you can come to trade again. How about that?"
Han Yi thought about it, his eyes flashed, and he reported an address, and then left with Yu Qian.
"How could this happen?"
Yu Qian's eyes were a little absent-minded.
"We clearly agreed that True Lord Kurumu would wait for us in the branch of the Supreme Pavilion three months before the deadline. Now that he's not here, how can we trade?"
"However, Master Wang falsely reported the address because he guessed that True Lord Kurumu was deliberately making things difficult for my Yu family?"
During this period, Han Yi brought Yu Qian with him, which was also a disguised way of teaching her to be cautious and watchful when walking in the world of immortal cultivation. He guessed the divine intention from Han Yi's false address just now.
Han Yi did not nod in affirmation, because he was not sure, but it did not prevent him from keeping a hand.
"Whether it is or not, we will know in the next few days."
"Let's go."
Han Yi took Yu Qian to an inn called 'Lingxian' ten miles away. Although Lingxian Inn did not have a strong backing like the Supreme Pavilion, it was also a relatively large business in Daqin, specializing in inns. In the map that Yu Qian had given before, the nearby Lingxian Inn was marked.
After Han Yi checked in at Lingxian Inn, he took Yu Qian to check in at another inn across from Lingxian Inn. This inn was not as famous as Lingxian Inn, but it was also formal, called Duyun Inn.
In Duyun Inn.
As soon as Han Yi entered the bedroom, he habitually set up the Taixuan Qiankun Formation. Then, he did not release his spiritual consciousness, but took out a mirror. In the mirror, there was an image of an upper room in Lingxian Inn across from him.
This is a top-grade magic weapon called Shadow Mirror. The setting distance is no more than ten kilometers. It can see the images fed back by several media within ten kilometers, so it is called Shadow Mirror.
This double insurance setting made Yu Qian look respectful. No matter what, even if someone really went to Lingxian Inn to cause trouble for them, they would never guess where they were at the moment.
Attack when advancing and defend when retreating.
As expected of Senior Wang Lin, Yu Qian sighed with admiration in her heart.
That night, there was nothing unusual.
On the second day, Han Yi practiced in the quiet room as usual. With the Taixuan Qiankun Formation, he felt much more at ease.
On the second night, there was no abnormality.
On the third day, Han Yi nodded in approval because Yu Qian did not lose her patience, but practiced with Han Yi.
In this month, Yu Qian's progress also made Han Yi look sideways.
Although this female cultivator's combat power is average, her learning and acceptance ability is really good. She is a teachable child.
For seven consecutive days, there was no abnormality.
On the eighth night, Han Yi suddenly opened his eyes, and a figure appeared on the mirror and quietly entered the room rented by Han Yi in Lingxian Inn.
This was a middle-aged cultivator.
After entering the room, he did not find anyone in the room, and was startled, and then quickly left the room.
"It's not Master Kurumu."
"Who is he?"
Yu Qian also reacted, her face tense, and asked in a deep voice. She naturally didn't think that the other party sneaked into the room of Lingxian Inn so late at night to tell them that Master Kurumu was back.
Han Yi frowned: "I haven't seen him."
He said that he had never seen him, which meant that he had never seen this person in the soul shadows of Tuoba Li and Tuoba An.
At least, this person is not the Jindan cultivator of the Zhang family, nor is he Tuoba Tu.
"No hurry, wait a little longer."
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day.
What surprised Han Yi was that when he stepped into Lingxian Inn, the shopkeeper told Han Yi that someone left a message. The person who left the message was a cultivator of the Supreme Pavilion. The content was that Master Kurumu would arrive in three days and asked Han Yi to go to the Supreme Pavilion.
Han Yi's eyes flashed, and he turned and left.
Three days later.
Han Yi took Yu Qian to the Supreme Pavilion again. However, after arriving at the Supreme Pavilion, he was told that an accident had occurred and True Lord Kurumu would take another seven days to arrive, so Han Yi had to wait another seven days.
However.
After all this trouble, not to mention Han Yi, even Yu Qian felt that something was strange and there was a big problem.
This True Lord Kurumu, as a Yuanying cultivator, was bribed by the Zhang family?
"Damn it."
"Or, we can break into the Supreme Pavilion directly, find the owner of this Punishment Pavilion, and announce the agreement between the Yu family and True Lord Kurumu. In this way, my Yu family can get away."
Yu Qian was angry, and she suddenly said fiercely.
Han Yi shook his head.
"In this way, the Yu family has offended both the Supreme Pavilion and True Lord Kurumu at the same time, and there is no way out or room for maneuver. This method can only be the last resort."
"I think that even if the Zhang family is very powerful, it is difficult to persuade the True Lord cultivators of the Supreme Pavilion to embarrass the Yu family."
"There is definitely a villain behind this."
Han Yi's eyes flickered.
"Let's wait for another seven days."
"After seven days, if True Lord Kurumu has not arrived, then we will think of another way."
Han Yi left with Yu Qian, but his consciousness was always paying attention to the movements around him.
He came here twice. If there really was a villain, he would definitely not miss the opportunity to track him. Han Yi could give this opportunity, and he had to give it actively.
He walked very slowly with Yu Qian. This time, he did not go to Duyun Inn, but to Lingxian Inn.
However.
Han Yi suddenly frowned. Three hundred meters away, a cultivator walked towards Han Yi as if nothing had happened.
He was already very alert at this moment, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw this cultivator.
He had seen this cultivator before, although not in person, but in the image of the soul shadow.
The eldest brother of the four Tuoba brothers, Tuoba Tu.
The other three of the four Tuoba brothers died in his hands, and Tuoba Tu was a cultivator in the late Jindan stage. In the soul shadows of Tuoba Li and Tuoba An, Tuoba Li led away Senior Brother Huo Ming and trapped Senior Brother Huo Ming somewhere.
However, the appearance of the cultivator who was coming towards him at this moment was not Tuoba Tu's real appearance, but the appearance that Tuoba Tu transformed into when he was doing dirty things outside.
In the soul shadows of Tuoba Li and Tuoba An, the eldest brother Tuoba Tu had a magic weapon that could completely change his breath and appearance, and even ordinary Yuanying Zhenjun could not easily distinguish it.
Therefore, although Yu Qian knew what the original Tuoba Tu looked like, she did not know what Tuoba Tu looked like after disguise.
However,
By chance, Han Yi checked the soul images of Tuoba Li and Tuoba An and saw Tuoba Tu's disguised appearance.
And at this moment.
This follower of Zhang Tu of the Zhang family changed his appearance. Tuoba Tu, who was in the late Jindan period, walked towards the direction of the Supreme Pavilion from three hundred meters away as if nothing had happened.
According to the speed at which the two walked, they would pass each other on the street about two hundred meters away from the Supreme Pavilion, with Han Yi walking outside and Tuoba Tu walking inside.
Coincidence?
No.
There is absolutely no such coincidence in the world of cultivating immortals. Han Yi has so many years of experience and has experienced so many crises. The experience he has gained is that all coincidences are long-planned.
There is only one answer.
The other party is running towards him.
In this case, and with Senior Brother Huo Ming being lured away and trapped by Tuoba Tu, Han Yi also has ideas about the other party.
Moreover.
The other party is disguised and does not know that Han Yi has seen through his disguise.
Countless thoughts floated, and Han Yi made a decision in an instant.
Fifty meters.
Han Yi's face remained the same, and his steps were as usual.
Thirty meters.
Han Yi did not look forward, but glanced at the Supreme Pavilion not far behind him, and then turned back.
Before he turned his head completely, his eyes were not on Tuoba Tu who was walking slowly, and he had already taken the lead in attacking.
At the moment of turning sideways just now, the fingers hidden on the side were already holding a talisman.
This talisman was the talisman that Tuoba Li wanted to use on Han Yi before, but he didn't have time to use it.
There were two golden characters written on the talisman.
Taiyi.
On the way to Yuzhou Xiancheng, Han Yi had learned the real name of this talisman from Yu Qian.
Taiyi Jinguang Fu.
This is a series of talismans from the Creation Gate.
Obtained from Tuoba, used for Tuoba.
This is also one of the most useful methods Han Yi has learned from past experience.
What's more.
This opportunity is rare.
The other party would never know that he had seen the fake appearance that Tuoba Tu had used from the soul images of Tuoba Li and Tuoba An. With this talisman, it would be very likely to make the other party lose consciousness in an instant.
The next moment.
Han Yi had disappeared from the spot. Yu Qian's pupils shrank wildly. Before she could react, a golden light, which had already exuded a sharp breath, fell straight down.
The target was only more than 20 meters away from Yu Qian.
At the same time.
Han Yi disappeared from the spot, and his place was replaced by two swords.
The Seven-Star Kunwu Sword and the Qingping Sword.
The two swords, one in front and one behind, one up and one down, the Seven-Star Kunwu Sword was in front and up, and the Qingping Sword was behind and down, one meter apart, and passed by in an instant. Before the golden light fell, it had already swept out a huge distance of ten meters.
Fast, fast, fast to the extreme.
The distance between the two sides was less than thirty meters at this moment. For a Jindan cultivator, this was equivalent to the distance for hand-to-hand combat.
After activating the talisman and offering two swords, Han Yi instantly appeared ten meters to the right, holding another sword in his hand, which suddenly appeared in front of him.
This sword exuded a monstrous cold air.
A mid-grade magic weapon, the Heavenly Cold Sword.
The Heavenly Cold Sword swept out, even faster than the Seven-Star Kunwu Sword. If time was slowed down a thousand times, when the Heavenly Cold Sword passed Tuoba Tu's position, the Seven-Star Kunwu Sword just arrived at his position, one in front and one behind, and would not collide with each other.
From another perspective.
When Han Yi turned around and looked at the Supreme Pavilion, and then turned his head again, Tuoba Tu's heart jumped, and in an instant, a weak spiritual energy rose at a speed that he could not react to.
It was the breath of the talisman.
As the strongest person in the Tuoba family, Tuoba Tu took his three brothers and gradually cleaned up from the low-level robbery cultivation and established a family of immortal cultivation. Later, he devoted all his efforts to Zhang Tu. When Zhang Tu was just building a foundation, he followed him with the golden elixir cultivation and gained Zhang Tu's full trust.
Tuoba Tu firmly believed that he was not talented enough, but he had a great vision. Zhang Tu definitely had the talent to become a god. Following the future god-transforming great man, the Tuoba family would surely take off.
However.
When he realized that his three brothers had died, Tuoba Tu could no longer care about the affairs of Dagan Xiandu. He hurried back to Tiannan Xiancheng and followed Zhang Hai of the Zhang family to Yucheng and began to pursue the murderer who killed his brothers.
With the cooperation of a supervisor in the Supreme Pavilion, after an investigation, it was found that two strange cultivators had recently come to the pavilion to look for the True Lord of Dead Wood, which was very suspicious.
Today was the agreed time for the two people to come to the door.
Tuoba Tu also disguised himself and waited for an opportunity to kill one of the Jindan cultivators directly, and then explore whether he was the target.
If he killed the wrong person, then so be it, it is not a burden for him.
However.
At this moment.
When the golden light shone and forced into his eyes, three shocking sword auras, some heavy, some noble, and some cold, came from his side, making his body stiff in an instant, Tuoba Tu had already understood.
The other party was exactly the person he was looking for.
In an instant.
The murderous intent reflected in his eyes was terrifying and fell mightily.
