.......

After learning about the situation of Qingyang Sect.

Han Li then asked about some of the details.

Immediately afterwards, they prepared to say goodbye and leave.

Just then.

Several streaks of light flashed across the sky and arrived in front of the two in the blink of an eye.

A moment later, the light disappeared, transforming into four figures dressed in Star Palace attire. All of them wore masks, obscuring their faces.

The leader was a monk dressed in white Star Palace uniform.

Judging from his aura, he was clearly a Core Formation cultivator!

Who is Han Li?

The Star Palace Core Formation cultivator looked at the two of them, sized them up, and said loudly.

Seeing this, Han Li and Jin Qing looked at each other and remained silent for a while.

I've only just left my cave, how come the people from the Star Palace have already come knocking on my door?

Helpless, Han Li stood up from the stone bench and replied.

"I am Han Li. May I ask what brings you here?"

The leader of the Star Palace Core Formation cultivators narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw Han Li stand up.

So young!

His tone softened somewhat unconsciously, but it still carried an air of unyielding authority.

"Han Li, Elder Jin Kui requests your presence!"

Upon hearing this, Han Li was stunned for a moment.

The Grand Elder?! What's going on?

Shouldn't it be the Sixth Elder?

Han Li subconsciously looked at Jin Qing beside him.

Jin Qing's smile froze instantly, and after a moment, he transmitted his voice.

"Brother Han, I forgot to tell you, the Sixth Elder was injured in the battle of Kui Xing Island and has gone into seclusion. The entire Star Palace is now under the control of the First Elder."

"As for why the Grand Elder sent someone to find you, I truly do not know."

"However, if Elder Jin Kui wanted to cause trouble for Brother Han, he wouldn't have waited until today."

Jin Qing's words reached Han Li's ears.

He remained silent for a moment.

Think about it.

If you really wanted to control yourself, you wouldn't have waited until today.

You can take action before or immediately after breaking through to the Core Formation stage.

"Brother Han, please wait a moment, I'll go ask."

After Jin Qing transmitted his voice again, he flashed into the air.

The leader was also a Core Formation cultivator. Seeing Jin Qing approach, he was full of impatience. After nodding slightly, he ignored him.

Jin Qing was not annoyed by this.

At this moment, Han Li saw Jin Qing pat his storage bag at his waist, and a jade token appeared in his hand. On the back of the token were a few simple patterns, and on the back of the token was only an ancient cultivator's character - Jin!

The Star Palace Core Formation cultivator was initially quite impatient, but upon seeing the token, he was momentarily stunned.

A moment later, his attitude changed completely.

His enthusiasm was evident in both his actions and words.

Seeing this, Jin Qing didn't care about what had just happened. Instead, he laughed and started talking to the man.

A moment later, the group actually exchanged tokens as keepsakes.

Where is that arrogant demeanor from just moments ago?! Instead, he seems like an old friend of many years!

Upon seeing this, Han Li couldn't help but marvel.

The world is so vast, and there are so many extraordinary people and events!

The ancient cultivator was right!

Han Li was somewhat impressed, but he had no intention of imitating it.

Everyone's path is different; forcibly imitating others is like Dong Shi imitating Xi Shi or the man from Handan trying to learn how to walk.

A moment later, Jin Qing had become quite familiar with the person in the air.

He then gently pointed to Han Li in the pavilion below, as if asking something.

Upon hearing this, the Star Palace Core Formation cultivator hesitated.

Then, Jin Qing whispered a few words in his ear.

Upon hearing this, the group looked at Han Li with shock in their eyes.

Finally, without further hesitation, he whispered a few words in Jin Qing's ear.

At this moment, Jin Qing cupped his hands to the group, and with a flash of emerald light, his figure reappeared in the pavilion.

He smiled broadly, looked at Han Li, and transmitted his voice.

"Brother Han, the Grand Elder's invitation this time shouldn't be anything bad, so there's no need to worry."

"Go ahead without worry."

Han Li had already almost figured it out.

This time, it has been affirmed.

He then bowed to Jin Qing.

Then, in a flash, he appeared in the air.

"Gentlemen, let's go."

Without making any further moves, the group flew away into the distance with Han Li.

It quickly disappeared into the horizon.

.......

Fifteen minutes later, at Shuangsheng Mountain.

The seventy-ninth floor.

Han Li slowly walked into the familiar corridor.

Everything around me was very familiar.

However, the figure of the Sixth Elder on the tall stone chair in front of them had disappeared. In its place was a tall cultivator wearing a Star Palace white robe and a mask.

His power and influence far surpassed that of the Sixth Elder.

Just by getting close, Han Li felt a faint but powerful aura.

It was Jin Kui.

A peak mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!

At this moment, Jin Kui was holding a pure white jade slip in his hand, slowly examining it.

They seemed unaware of Han Li's arrival.

"Junior Han Li greets Elder Jin Kui."

Han Li dared not be negligent and quickly bowed and clasped his hands in greeting.

There was no response as expected, and the hall remained silent.

There was no light source around, but a faint glow shone on the walls, giving them a cold, metallic sheen.

Beneath Jin Kui's stone chair, patterns resembling array runes flickered as if breathing.

After a few breaths, Jin Kui finished reading the contents of the jade slip.

Then she raised her head and looked at Han Li, a strange light flashing in her indifferent eyes.

"You're Han Li?"

"He's a decent junior."

No wonder Lao Liu was so protective of you before.

Contrary to Han Li's expectations, he praised her directly.

"Elder, you flatter me. Han Li's cultivation is low, and I am extremely grateful for the fortunate achievement of forming my core."

He didn't expect Jin Kui to start with such praise, and for a moment he didn't react. After thinking for a while, he replied.

However, Jin Kui's next words plunged Han Li into despair.

"I heard you're from Kui Xing Island?"

"Exactly."

As Jin Kui's calm voice fell, Han Li felt a chill in his heart, his fingers trembled slightly, and he forced himself to respond.

"But I searched through all your records and found no trace of you."

"You seem to have appeared out of thin air."

Jin Kui's cold voice rang out, revealing no particular attitude.

not good!

Upon hearing Jin Kui's words, Han Li's body tensed instantly.

It took all his strength to control the urge to retreat.

What should I do?

What should we do?

In Han Li's mind, he had already simulated the scene of Jin Kui identifying his flaws and searching his soul.

"After my spiritual root was discovered, I have been following my master and cultivating diligently on the island, which is why I haven't registered my identity."

"I only left the island after my master died."

Han Li's words finally broke the eerie silence in the hall.

This reason seems reasonable, but in fact it is somewhat far-fetched.

Whether it's true or not, we can find out by sending someone to investigate.

"Don't be nervous, that was just a test."

At this moment, Jin Kui slowly spoke.

"If you are truly of use to the Star Palace, I will naturally not pursue the matter further."

"I just heard that you are very grateful to the Star Palace?"

"Is it really true?"

Upon hearing Han Li's words, Jin Kui suddenly asked a question.

Hearing Jin Kui's words, Han Li was stunned and somewhat confused.

"Of course, spiritual treasures for Core Formation are hard to find. The Sixth Elder's gift of them is extremely kind to Han Li, and he will never forget it."

Han Li thought for a moment before finally answering.

After he finished speaking, the hall was quiet for a moment.

This atmosphere is not good!

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Jin Kui's calm voice.

"Since you are so grateful to the Star Palace, then I will grant your request."

"From now on, you will work for the Star Palace."

Gan!

So it turns out they were lying in wait for me!

(I've run out of outlines again, so this was written in haste. Please forgive me, fellow Daoists. I have already crafted several three-headed, six-armed talismans. Thank you for collecting and reading this.)
