Chapter 873 All Spirits Return to the Origin (Part 1)
"Li Feibai, long time no see. Make way, I have urgent business to attend to and need to go back temporarily."
The moment the woman appeared, she didn't even glance at anyone else, her gaze fixed on Li Feibai, her voice ethereal.
"So it's Miss Lianxin who has graced us with her presence. Why didn't you inform us beforehand?" Li Feibai's expression was grim as he asked in a low voice, "May I ask what brings you here, Miss? The quota for today's Guiding Array is full. If you're not in a hurry, you may come to my residence first and rest for a while..."
He accepted Han Yi's money and did indeed get things done.
Having already used his authority, he temporarily shut down the traction array passage within Wangtian City, specifically to give Han Yi time.
The use of the traction array requires advance preparation from both his side and the northern region. In other words...
Generally, you need to make an appointment in advance, at least one day in advance, and you can only use it after confirming that there are no problems with the identity list.
After all, the traction array can bypass the extensive defenses deployed on the outskirts of the Northern Lands and appear within the Northern Lands in an instant.
Have to guard against it.
"What is it? Do you even deserve to know?"
Behind Lianxin, there was also an old woman in black robes with a cold demeanor, like a guard.
The old woman's voice was cold and emotionless: "Li Feibai, stop your nonsense. Once we reach the North, we will explain the situation to the Demon Saint Palace. Release us immediately! You cannot afford to be delayed because of you!"
"Brother Li?"
With such a commotion, Han Yi couldn't possibly have missed it. He frowned and walked over. "Brother Han... please calm down." Li Feibai smiled wryly, just about to explain.
"Which lineage are you from?" Elder Qing glanced around casually and clearly saw that the person talking to Li Feibai was the culprit who caused the traction array to be sealed off.
"You've built such a large business? Don't you know the rules?" A hint of disgust flashed in her eyes; she had clearly misunderstood Han Yi's identity.
Thanks to the Li family's good reputation as a major human trafficking clan, and the fact that the surrounding caravan was clearly made up of ordinary humans from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, Elder Qing subconsciously assumed that Han Yi was also a trafficker in this line of work.
The northern lands are underpopulated, and many people from the Hundred Veins are involved in human trafficking in the Great Xuan and several other major countries, making huge profits from it.
"Rules? What rules?" Han Yi pushed aside Li Feibai, who was blocking his way, stepped forward, and asked calmly.
“Of course, the Hundred Veins take priority.” Elder Qing said without hesitation. “It’s just escorting some goods. What difference will a day or two’s delay make?” “Goods? Goods?!”
The smile on Han Yi's face slowly faded. He took a deep look at the old woman in front of him, and then at Li Feibai.
"Brother Li? The money I gave you... should be more than enough, right? Remember your promise..."
Over the past three days, he has learned some things about Wangtian City through Gong Yusheng.
Although the Gong family is not a prominent family with a hundred branches, it has a certain degree of contact with all walks of life and all kinds of things in Wangtian City thanks to its vast commercial and trade network.
Travel to the Northland, using the toll for the traction array.
It's not as expensive as Li Feibai said at all.
One Moonlit Jade Ring is more than enough to cover the expenses of the entire Beast Sect group, and there will even be more than half left over.
of course.
Even knowing this, Han Yi didn't intend to bargain with Li Feibai anymore.
No need.
As long as things go smoothly and without any trouble, and we arrive at our destination without any problems, spending a little more money is fine.
"Brother Han, you may not know this... but they are from the Ronghua lineage..." Li Feibai's face was bitter as he looked at the three people opposite him, then at Han Yi. "The Ronghua lineage is one of the top three Hundred Lineages Great Schools among the lower three factions... especially Lianxin, that woman, is particularly troublesome..."
He didn't want to offend Lianxin and the other two, but he also didn't want to let them pass just like that.
The energy expenditure of a traction array during use is completely different for powerful individuals compared to ordinary people.
The stronger you are, the more energy you need to consume.
In other words, the combined energy expenditure of Lianxin and the other two was roughly equivalent to the total energy expenditure of dozens, or even hundreds, of ordinary martial artists in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's caravan. Li Feibai had already been under immense pressure to finally coordinate this day, and if Lianxin and the other two were to leave first, it would mean that Han Yi's side would be delayed for a considerable period of time.
In the north, the person in charge of the traction array is not someone everyone owes a favor to or is willing to give face to.
With the constant stream of appointments every day, it's very possible that it will take a week, a month, or even half a year to book.
If it really comes to that...
Li Feibai's large sum of money, which he had just gotten his hands on, has now slipped away like a cooked duck flying away.
After all, the traction arrays leading to the Northland are not only found here; they are also distributed in other regions.
They're definitely not willing to spend that much time and will turn to something else.
Upon hearing this, Han Yi probably understood Li Feibai's predicament.
He wasn't quite clear on the differences between the so-called lower three levels, middle three levels, and upper three levels in the Hundred Meridians.
The Black Feather Li family, to which Li Feibai belongs, already has a remarkable foundation in Qingzhou alone, and with the addition of the main clan in the North, it is enough to demonstrate their formidable strength.
Even so, the Hei Yu Li family doesn't even rank in the top ten among the lower three factions.
Consider that there are nearly a hundred forces like the Li family in the lower three realms.
The sheer size of the entire Lower Three factions is unimaginable.
Within such a vast system, the Ronghua lineage is able to rank among the top three of the hundreds of forces in the lower three realms, occupying a large share of the discourse power. Its overall strength can only be described as terrifying.
It's understandable that Li Feibai didn't want to offend this faction.
However, if he simply let the three of them leave, he would be unable to explain himself to Han Yi.
Caught in the middle, he felt extremely uncomfortable. "You two, have you made up your minds yet?" Old Qing finally lost his patience and snorted coldly, "Li Feibai, if you don't speak up, I'll take that as a yes."
"this…..."
Li Feibai stammered, his face hesitant, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.
They watched helplessly as Old Qing continued walking toward an open space by the lake behind them, without making any attempt to stop him.
Several burly men wielding heavy weapons such as giant axes, bronze hammers, and iron bars exchanged glances upon seeing Li Feibai's performance and had no choice but to make way for him.
"Wait a moment."
Suddenly a voice called out to her from behind.
Following the sound, Elder Qing looked and saw a figure lightly leap down and land not far in front of him, staring intently at him.
"Excuse me, but I'd like to ask, is this what you meant by... following the rules?" Han Yi looked at the old woman calmly, his voice indifferent. "I was here first, after all. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"Ok?"
Old Qing stopped and glanced at Han Yi. "Worried about it affecting your business? When you get to the North, you can come to Ronghua Mansion to find me. I'll compensate you double for any business you've missed."
"Money? No, no, no..." Han Yi smiled and slowly stood in front of Elder Qing. "I only need an apology, just an apology. You can do that."
He pointed to the two sides of the road where the Wan Shou Sect members, who had been injured by Elder Qing's attack, were located.
"What?" Elder Qing was taken aback, then his face darkened with anger. "A few mere servants? You expect me to apologize in person?"
"If you injure my people, you need to apologize," Han Yi said calmly without raising his eyelids. "That's the rule."
"Are you kidding me, kid?" Elder Qing sneered. "There's no such rule among the Hundred Meridians." "You say there isn't, so there isn't?" Han Yi shrugged. "Senior, you are very powerful and have cultivated for many years. You haven't been in contact with the world for a long time, so naturally you don't know about the changes in the outside world, and you don't know about this rule."
"What a sharp tongue you have! Which faction do you belong to? I'd like to see who your teacher is. If I have the time, I'll definitely pay him a proper visit." Old Qing's face was ashen, and he sneered repeatedly, "So that he can teach you what rules and manners are!"
"Looking for my teacher?" Han Yi's expression was strange. "I'm afraid senior will have to go to the underworld. But it doesn't matter. With your cultivation level, you'd have to go down there sooner or later anyway. Going down early to get used to it is better than living a wasted life..."
"You're asking for it!!!!"
Old Qing was furious and could no longer hold back. He suddenly flashed forward, stretched out his hand as a claw, black smoke billowed out, and grabbed at Han Yi's head.
The black claws were getting closer and faster. "Heh."
Han Yi smiled, but the coldness in his eyes grew colder and colder, and his fists clenched tighter and tighter.
"stop!!"
A woman's sharp cry came from the side. She flicked her finger, knocking the grasping hand away from Elder Qing's grasp.
Lianxin's figure was as graceful and beautiful as a willow swaying in the wind, and she stopped Elder Qing in the blink of an eye.
"Miss, this man is being insolent. Let me teach him a lesson!" Old Qing's voice was deep and his face was fierce. "I'll cut off one of his arms first, so that everyone knows that the Ronghua family is not a place that cats and dogs can mess with!"
"Your words... are quite interesting. Which lineage do you belong to?" Lianxin ignored the old woman and looked at Han Yi with great interest.
Han Yi didn't speak, but just stared at her with the look of someone looking at a fool. After Lian Xin finished speaking, she seemed to realize that she had made a mistake. Having offended the Ronghua lineage, who would be foolish enough to reveal their family name? Wouldn't that just be asking to be retaliated against?
"Never mind, forget I said anything." Lianxin burst out laughing, her face blooming like a flower, bright and beautiful, causing the onlookers who looked up upon hearing her words to freeze in shock.
"Are all the people in this team yours?" Lianxin pondered for a moment, then rephrased her question.
"Ah."
Han Yi nodded. As the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, they were all his people.
"That makes things easier." Lianxin smiled gently. "This time, we failed to give prior notice and barged in rashly. We were at fault first, so you can leave now..."
"Miss?!"
Before she could finish speaking, Elder Qing and another old woman in black robes simultaneously showed strange expressions and spoke up to stop her.
“That matter… can’t be delayed…” Elder Qing couldn’t help but speak up. “Besides, this kid… his mouth is so foul…”
The old woman beside her couldn't help but remind her, "Miss, this is the closest... what if it's somewhere else..."
Qingzhou does have more than one traction formation in Wangtian City, but the key is that it allows you to get back in time without delaying things, and that's the only one.
"Is this true?"
Han Yi also had a strange expression. He was ready to make a move, but in the end, no fight broke out.
This feeling...
It's like being so passionate and aroused late at night that you've already taken your pants off, only to find out the other person is a man—it's incredibly frustrating.
