Living as a Mortal: Grinding Experience Starting from the Underworld

Chapter 102 Han Li Gives Up the Pillar

Just as Zhang Feng hesitated, a familiar white figure walked out from the corridor.

It was Han Li who had rushed over.

Zhang Feng glanced at it and smiled.

Han Li entered the hall, casually found a low stone pillar, and sat down.

"Fellow Daoist Han, do you also possess a fragment of the Void Heaven Map?"

Zhang Feng was the first to transmit his voice, but he did not remind Han Li to leave the stone pillar.

"It's good that Fellow Daoist Zhang is alright. I obtained this fragment of the Void Heaven Diagram by sheer luck."

After Han Li entered, he also noticed Zhang Feng, who had arrived earlier, but with so many people around, it was difficult for him to approach and negotiate.

"Oh, Fellow Daoist Han also has his own destiny."

"But Fellow Daoist Han, have you noticed the Xuan Bone Demon over there?"

Zhang Feng slightly raised his head, facing the direction of the Xuan Bone.

"I saw it. I remember clearly the grudge of stealing my avatar."

Han Li transmitted his voice through gritted teeth.

"Fellow Daoist Han, this demon must hate us to the core for what happened on the deserted island."

"If given the opportunity, the two of us can work together to kill this demon."

Zhang Feng offered his suggestion.

"Alright, it's a deal. That's exactly what I was thinking."

"9

Han Li replied.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, wait a moment. How dare that old demon Xuan Gu send me a telepathic message?"

Han Li severed his telepathic communication with Zhang Feng and turned to face Xuan Gu instead.

Zhang Feng didn't say much, but sat quietly and carefully observed the facial expressions of the two.

A moment later, Han Li looked indignant, while Xuan Gu remained relaxed.

Zhang Feng understood; Han Li had fallen short in his conversation.

The next moment, something Han Li said provoked Xuan Gu to lose his composure.

Whoosh!

Just as Zhang Feng was watching the silent play, his divine sense suddenly detected two familiar figures slowly walking out of the passage.

Han Li and Xuan Gu simultaneously stopped transmitting their voices and looked solemnly at the exit of the passage.

Two figures walked out one after the other.

Upon seeing their faces, Zhang Feng slightly turned his head away.

He snatched the fragment of the Void Heaven Map from the Hidden Fiend Sect Master Sun, but Ji Yin and Wu Chou still obtained the fragment of the Void Heaven Map from other places.

The Yin Demon King of Yin Island and his grandson Wu Chou stood quietly at the exit of the passage.

"snort!"

With a cold snort, Ji Yin's eyes emitted a blue spiritual light, and a divine sense swept across the entire area.

When Zhang Feng was scanned by divine sense, his body trembled slightly, and a protective aura appeared, blocking the detection.

Zhang Feng then looked around and saw that all the cultivators whose divine sense had swept over him were looking at Ji Yin with fear on their faces.

Xuan Gu clenched his fists and lowered his head slightly.

Han Li, with his back to Ji Yin, glanced at him briefly, then immediately turned back in surprise.

After completing the investigation with his Yin spiritual sense, he smiled and was in a great mood, almost bursting out laughing.

"Great, great, everyone's here, not one missing!"

Ji Yin suddenly spoke up, leaving Wu Chou, who was standing to the side, somewhat confused, but he didn't dare to ask and just smiled awkwardly.

The two then flew to the stone pillar where Qingyi was.

"Oh, what good news brings you, Brother Jiyin? You seem so excited."

"Why don't you tell me about it, so I can have some fun too!"

Qingyi, holding a scroll, asked aloud.

"Ah~ I'm just a little happy to see my old friend Qingyi and Madam Wen in person!"

"I'll need your help on this trip."

Extreme Yin casually declined.

"Oh, this...this...I don't deserve it."

"Your Extreme Yin Island has been doing so well these past few years, you even dare to stroke the tiger's whiskers at the Star Palace!"

"Hehehe, this old man is far too unworthy to be associated with you!"

Zhang Feng paid little attention to the conversation above, but Wu Chou walked to the stone pillar and quietly looked at himself.

Zhang Feng met his gaze, grinning to reveal his gleaming white teeth.

Upon seeing this, Wu Chou trembled all over. He glanced behind him and suddenly felt emboldened. He then gestured to Zhang Feng as if he were slitting his throat.

Zhang Feng chuckled and turned his head away.

Then it was seen that Han Li was also watching the Ji Yin group.

Upon seeing Han Li, Wu Chou became energized. Without even looking behind him, he arrogantly made a throat-slitting gesture.

Han Li turned his head away and stopped watching.

"Hey kid, I've already reached an agreement with Han. Want to join us?"

Xuan Gu resumed the unfinished conversation via divine sense transmission.

"Oh, senior, do you have a second Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng?"

Zhang Feng glanced at Xuan Gu and transmitted his voice.

"What? You know about the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng in the Void Heaven Palace?"

Xuan Gu's voice carried a hint of panic.

"Zhang dared to impersonate a Star Palace cultivator before, so he must have some connection with the Star Palace and obtained some inside information from the big shots in the Star Palace. This is not difficult."

Zhang Feng chose to tell the truth, even though he had not yet obtained the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng Map from Jin Kui.

"Impossible, how could the people of the Star Palace leak such valuable information?"

"Are you trying to deceive me?"

Xuan Gu's eyes flickered, somewhat incredulous. If it were true, he might have to rethink his plans.

"Whether it's real or fake, you'll find out once you're inside!"

Zhang Feng left a message and then ignored Xuan Gu.

By making them suspicious, Zhang Feng had achieved his goal.

Then, Zhang Feng noticed that Xuan Gu had indeed fallen into deep thought.

If the old man wants to entice cooperation, he should reveal more spiritual items.

Whoosh!

As the scene fell silent, two Nascent Soul auras emanated from the passage.

Two figures walked out of the passage; one was dressed in a Taoist robe and looked quite dashing, while the other was dressed in rags but seemed quite content.

Two more Nascent Soul cultivators, Tian Wuzi and Mu Tengzi.

Zhang Feng lowered his gaze. The Void Heaven Palace was a stage for Nascent Soul cultivators. If it weren't for the fact that there were some opportunities he couldn't miss, he really wouldn't want to come.

"You wicked demon of extreme yin, return my mutated fire python, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Tianwuzi spoke out angrily.

"That little guy was born of nature and you can't control him, so naturally the capable one should take his place."

Why should I return it to you?

"If you keep babbling, this patriarch might convert you!"

After saying this, Ji Yin raised his arm, and thick, black Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire burned fiercely in his palm.

"You old codger, who are you trying to convert?"

A steady voice rang out, and a golden sword shadow, condensed from spiritual energy, suddenly appeared.

"Why don't we convert him as well?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cultivator dressed in a purple robe and jade belt, wearing a scholar's cap, and exuding a dignified aura, stood in mid-air.

"Wan Tianming, you've come too!"

Madam Wen, who had been sitting quietly to the side for a long time, rose up, stroking her sword.

"So it was Madam Wen in person! Is your husband, Mr. Liudao, well? Your aunt has been thinking of him constantly!"

Wan Tianming spoke casually.

"Hmph, I'm probably cursing him to die a violent death every day. But what he does is none of my business, so Fellow Daoist Wan need not worry about it."

"I've always wanted to spar with Fellow Daoist Wan about my Phoenix Sword Technique."

Madam Wen brought two fingers together, and a small black sword rose up, emitting a chilling glint.

"Haha, let's forget about sparring with Madam Wen."

"If Mr. Rokudo finds out, won't he come after me and fight me to the death?"

Wan Tianming laughed heartily, and Mu Tengzi and Tian Wuzi also sneered.

"I don't want to start a war between the righteous and the demonic paths right now!"

After Wan Tianming finished speaking, he turned around and looked around. No one said another word.

As expected of the leader of the righteous path, his mid-stage Nascent Soul power suppressed everyone, leaving no one daring to utter a sound.

Wan Tianming then turned to Ji Yin: "Ji Yin friend?"

"Wan Daoyou is truly magnificent!"

Ji Yin rubbed his fingers together, and his consciousness stirred.

Zhang Feng clenched his fingers, wondering if it was just his imagination, but it seemed as if Wan Tianming's divine sense lingered on him for a moment.

Boom boom boom!

A series of rapid, drum-like footsteps sounded as a person hurried through the corridor.

"Haha, I didn't expect even Master Wan to come!"

A burst of laughter, as loud as a bell, rang out, followed by a robust figure enveloped in golden light appearing before everyone.

"I've always wanted to fight Master Wan!"

As the golden light faded, a burly, tall, and rugged-looking cultivator with a thick, curly yellow beard, a face full of scars, and wide-open eyes appeared.

Zhang Feng slightly opened his eyes, looking at the man with the barbarian beard wearing a suit of fine armor formed from spiritual energy, and felt a little envious.

The bearded man's body-refining technique is really good; I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to learn it.

"I wonder how many punches you can take from me with your Heavenly Luo True Skill."

The bearded man stood in the air, confronting Wan Tianming.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the demonic path seemed to have found a pillar of support, and their aura gradually rose.

"Of course, I've long admired Brother Man!"

"Since the Heaven-Supporting Technique is hailed as the number one demonic art for defense in the Chaotic Star Sea, then my Myriad Laws Sect naturally has to try and learn a thing or two about it."

Wan Tianming's momentum remained undiminished.

The two sides faced off in the hall, creating an atmosphere of intense tension.

dong dong!

Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff, the stone pillars in the hall began to shake and extend upwards.

A slight smile appeared on Zhang Feng's lips. It was coming.

The loud commotion instantly broke the stalemate between the two sides, who simultaneously looked at the rising stone pillar.

Wan Tianming's eyes flashed as he spotted a stone pillar that was rising steadily to its highest point. He then stepped onto the pillar with Mu Tengzi and Tian Wuzi.

The three then quietly observed the actions of the demonic forces.

Han Li was startled by the commotion, but when he saw that no Nascent Soul cultivators came to him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly the stone pillar beneath them began to slowly rise.

Han Li was slightly surprised and kept looking around. The stone pillar continued to rise and finally stopped at the same height as Wan Tianming and the other two.

The bearded man, who had been observing and searching for a suitable stone pillar, grinned slightly and locked onto a suitable target.

The stone pillar came to a stop, and Han Li remained seated on its surface.

A golden streak of light suddenly appeared behind him.

Han Li sensed the powerful aura behind him and turned his head slightly to look.

The bearded man stood quietly behind Han Li, his face cold and stern, arms crossed, exuding an imposing aura.

"I want this place!"

"roll!"

The words created a series of sound waves, and Han Li's eyes widened slightly.

Without daring to delay, Han Li trembled as he stood up, his expression slightly changed, and he dared not utter a sound as he silently flew away from the stone pillar.

"Hahaha, so frail!"

The bearded man laughed heartily.

Zhang Feng smiled slightly, but when he saw Han Li flying towards him, he tried his best to stop smiling.

Han Li flew over to Zhang Feng and stopped two or three zhang away, his gaze sweeping over Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng no longer felt like sneer, but he couldn't help himself, so he turned his head away and waved his hand in acknowledgment.

Han Li then turned his gaze to Xuan Gu, and immediately saw Xuan Gu's ambiguous smile.

"You bearded fellow, huh? I'll remember you!"

Han Li turned his body slightly to the side, lowered his head, and clenched his fists tightly.
