?Chapter 912: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 909 Small Town Inn Chapter 912: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 909 Small Town Inn He casually stepped into an inconspicuous room within the attic, where the large man had already gone stiff, lying on the ground and covered with blue frost.


    His bull-like eyes were wide open with a look of horror.


    Han Li flipped his hand, and a silver needle appeared between two fingers; without a word, he bent over and swiftly inserted several needles into both sides of the large man’s head.


    The large man shuddered, then the light in his eyes gradually faded, and he became wooden and stupified.


    Han Li formed incantations with his hands and muttered a few low spell incantations, sending several continuous incantations onto the large man.


    The coldness on the large man immediately dissipated, his eyes lifeless as he automatically sat up and then sat cross-legged on the ground like a puppet, immobile.


    A green light enveloped Han Li’s face, and with a flick of his sleeve robe, several formation flags of different colors shot out from his sleeve and were planted around both individuals, instantly forming a barrier array that blocked aura.


    After activating the array, his figure shifted and he stood behind the large man.


    Han Li slightly lifted a hand, spreading his fingers and pressing them on the top of the large man’s head.


    At the same time, a resplendent light burst forth from around him, enveloping both figures in the glow.


    “What is your name and what position do you hold within the Kong Family?” asked Han Li coldly, without a trace of emotion, from within the halo of light.


    “Kong Dou, Outer Hall Steward!” the large man replied woodenly.


    “When did the Kong Family start occupying Sun Cloud Town, and where have all the original residents gone?”


    “It began seven years ago.

    The townspeople were ordinary mortals and were relocated to a small city called ‘Xuejiang’ a hundred miles away.”


    “Does the Kong Family have any purpose for the upcoming Great Assembly?”


    “…”


    In this eerie session of questioning and answering, Han Li obtained most of the information he wanted from the other party.


    Finally, he suddenly withdrew his fingers, and the large man collapsed to the ground, limp.


    Han Li took out a medicinal pill and stuffed it into the large man’s mouth, then quickly inserted silver needles into various acupoints all over his body.


    After a short while, he stood up, mumbling to himself thoughtfully,


    “Using this Worry-free Needle should seal off this person’s memory for some time, preventing any immediate disturbance.


    Unfortunately, due to my cultivation level, I wasn’t able to use the Dreamtear Technique to its full potential; otherwise, I could have directly used the Soul Searching Technique, sparing the trouble.


    It seems I must take a trip to that small city.”


    Han Li shook his head, gathered the formation flags around him, and walked out of the room on his own.


    Below, he no longer concerned himself with the Great Assembly but headed straight for the main gate.


    It was not unusual for cultivators to leave during the conference, so when Han Li exited the main gate and flew away on his tool, the cultivators guarding the gate had no suspicions.


    A beam of green light headed directly towards the small city mentioned by the large man.


    The distance from the small city to the Snow Tomb Mountain Range was not far, and it wasn’t long before the green light faintly revealed the Xuejiang City.


    Immediately, his figure descended near the city gate, and Han Li slowly entered.


    Xuejiang City was three or four times larger than Sun Cloud Town, but still barely qualified as a small city.


    By the time Han Li entered the city, it was dark, and the streets were nearly empty, naturally no one noticed the unsolicited visit of Han Li.


    Walking along the street, Han Li cautiously extended his Divine Sense, preventing the discovery by any Nascent Soul Stage high-level cultivators possibly hidden within the city.


    Indeed, there were cultivators in the small city, but most were low-level, with the highest being a Core Formation expert concealed in a residence in the southwest corner.


    A sweep of Han Li’s exceptionally secretive Divine Sense went unnoticed by this individual.


    However, Han Li hadn’t come to the city to find high-level cultivators.


    Seeing there was no one in the city who could threaten him, he promptly withdrew his Divine Sense and suppressed his aura.


    He continued walking along the street, looking around as if searching for something.


    Soon, he arrived at a wider intersection that seemed to be the center of the small city.


    Han Li’s gaze briefly flicked over to the sign of an inn before his pupils constricted, and he suddenly stopped.


    The sign was several feet in size with “Yue Lai” written in silver powdered characters, which seemed no different from an ordinary sign.


    In the Great Jin, inns with the common name “Yue Lai” likely numbered in the hundreds, if not a thousand.


    Yet Han Li focused on a mark resembling a teapot on the bottom right corner of the sign, his gaze unwavering.


    After a brief moment, he exhaled lightly, looked up at the inn, and scanned his surroundings.


    Finding no one nearby, his figure flickered, and after a faint yellow light moved, he passed through the tightly closed doors as if intangible.


    Inside the inn’s hall, it was pitch black and quiet as the grave, unknown whether it was due to a lack of guests or everyone was asleep.


    After surveying for a moment, Han Li closed his eyes and released his Divine Sense, instantly acquiring the layout of the entire inn.


    Suddenly, he silently transformed into a gentle breeze and merged into the darkness, disappearing without a trace.


    …


    The owner of Yue Lai Inn was a lean old man, over fifty years old, who possessed moderate wealth within the small town.


    After a busy day, he, fatigued, cuddled with his concubine, whom he had married less than a year ago, and slept soundly in extreme comfort.


    But suddenly, he felt a draft of chilly air blow over him, so cold to the core that he jolted awake with a shiver.


    The moment he opened his eyes, the innkeeper broke out in a cold sweat.


    A blurry figure stood at the head of the bed, with two gleaming eyes staring at him coldly.


    “You…” Just as he was about to shout aloud, a flicker of silver thread flashed before his eyes, and his throat went numb, rendering him unable to make a sound.


    “Don’t be loud.


    Although there are no cultivators in the inn, I don’t want to disturb anyone.


    Take a look at this first,” said the figure, raising a hand and presenting a shimmering silver key before the innkeeper’s eyes.


    Upon seeing the silver key, the innkeeper shuddered, his entire demeanor relaxing as his eyes showed a sparkle of joy.


    And this figure, of course, was Han Li who had infiltrated the place.


    The innkeeper hurriedly got out of bed, gesturing with his hands, trying to say something, but he still couldn’t make a sound.


    Han Li smiled faintly, raised his hand, and a strand of silver thread shot back from the innkeeper’s throat, landing in his hand- it was a hair-thin silver needle.


    “May I verify that key once more?” the innkeeper coughed a few times, finally regaining his ability to speak.


    Without a word, Han Li tossed the key to him.


    The innkeeper caught the silver key and inspected it carefully for quite a while before he showed a respectful expression, returned the key to Han Li with both hands, and bowed deeply, saying, “Are you the young master?”


    “You have already inspected the key; do you still have doubts?” Han Li asked indifferently instead of providing a direct answer.


    “No, there’s no problem.


    Since the young master has found me and has this key, there is no doubt about his identity, but…” the innkeeper glanced subconsciously back at his concubine.


    “Rest assured, before I woke you up, I had already cast a spell to make her fall unconscious.


    Even if you were to shout in her ear, she wouldn’t hear anything,” Han Li said, with a flicker in his eyes and an unchanged expression.


    “That’s good.


    The head of the family hasn’t contacted me for several years.


    As an ordinary mortal, I didn’t know what happened.


    I also didn’t dare to casually listen in, fearing I might attract the attention of other cultivators.


    Now that the young master has brought the key, I am finally relieved.


    If the head of the family hadn’t mentioned that the young master would change his appearance next time, I wouldn’t have dared to recognize you,” the innkeeper said earnestly.


    “Something has indeed happened to the Feng family, so I need to open the Secret Vault this time to take out some things.


    Apart from the head of the family, there should be a backup map of the vault’s location stored here with you.


    Give it to me,” Han Li commanded bluntly.


    “Yes!


    Since there is the vault key, the young master certainly has the right to open the vault.


    Please wait a moment, young master!” the innkeeper said without the slightest doubt.


    He then hurriedly put on a few clothes and led Han Li out of the room, heading straight for the inn’s backyard.


    Eventually, at an inconspicuous corner at the base of a wall in the backyard, the innkeeper dug around with an iron hoe he found at hand.


    After some digging and careful searching with his hands, he pulled out an ordinary-looking green brick, wiped the sweat from his brow, and turned around.


    “The location of the Secret Vault is sealed within this object.


    There are restrictive formations on it.


    As an ordinary mortal, I am unable to open it, and I’ve never seen it myself.


    You should have a way, right?” the old man hesitantly handed the green brick to Han Li.


    “Of course, I have my ways.


    Also, once I’ve taken this item, you no longer need to stay in this town.


    Leave immediately for a distant place and hide your identity!” Han Li took the green brick, inspected it for a few moments, and seemed satisfied as he nodded his head, then gave a serious command.


    “Does this mean the Feng family truly is in trouble?


    Rest assured, young master, I will leave this place within a few days.


    I won’t let any information regarding the young master’s matters leak out,” said the innkeeper, his expression turning somber as he promptly agreed.


    “As long as you understand the consequences.


    In appreciation of your unwavering loyalty to the Feng family, take this medicinal pill.


    Even though you’re an ordinary mortal, taking this pill can still strengthen your body and prolong your life!” Han Li put away the green brick, glanced at the old man’s saddened expression, his own expression moved, and suddenly with a flip of his hand, a small green bottle appeared, which he handed to the old man.


    “Many thanks for the young master’s reward!” the innkeeper first stared in astonishment, then his face lit up with joy.


    “Alright, I have other matters to attend to and must leave now.


    Take care of yourself!” Han Li waved his hand, expressionless, and in a flash of green light before the innkeeper’s eyes, disappeared without a trace.


    Startled, the old man looked around for a while before finally confirming that Han Li had left.


    He then bowed his head and stared blankly at the bottle of herbs in his hand.


    After a long while, he sighed deeply.


    …


    As soon as Han Li left the inn, he instantly flew away from the small town, and upon finding a nameless desert mountain nearby, he descended with his magical abilities.


    Then, with a flip of his hand, the green brick reappeared in his grasp.
