?Chapter 944: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 941 Threat Chapter 944: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 941 Threat At this moment, other cultivators nearby who noticed this situation, including Core Formation and Foundation Establishment cultivators, glanced over at Han Li and the others’ cultivation levels.
Instantly, their faces changed, and they dispersed in a swarm, none daring to stay nearby and watch.
If these high-level cultivators were to unleash their full power in battle, these small fish would inevitably suffer as innocents caught in the crossfire should the city gates catch fire.
With a cold eye watching the stone hall nearby quickly empty but for a few of them, with some pavilions hastily activating their protective formations as if facing a great enemy, the muscles on Han Li’s face twitched slightly, and a layer of crystalline green light eerily rose from his visage, his eyes shooting out a gloomy cold light.
Seeing this, Ge Tianhao, the Endless Sky Saintess, and the other two couldn’t help but circulate the mana in their bodies defensively, and the magic artifacts inside them began to stir restlessly.
But just then, Han Li seemed to remember something, suddenly let out a sneering laugh, and released the green light on his face, saying indifferently,
“If I remember correctly, it is strictly forbidden for cultivators to engage in combat within the Jinxi Market.
Should anyone violate this, they would be pursued and killed by the combined forces of the Three Great Daoist Sects and the Four Great Buddhist Sects backing the market.
Are you perhaps eager to taste what it feels like to be hunted over thousands of miles, or do you believe that with the Yin Sifting Sect backing you, you can disregard the Three Sects and Four Temples entirely?”
“Hmph!
Who dares to disregard our Daoist and Buddhist lineages.
I am Wu Pi, this humble Daoist, wish to experience it myself,” a voice full of imposing momentum suddenly came from afar.
Following that, from the other end of the street, out of a certain pavilion, two streaks of gold and silver light shot out abruptly toward here.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the few people and after making a loop, the streak of light descended, revealing a monk followed by two people.

“I wondered which esteemed person it was; it turns out to be a few Fellow Daoists from the Yin Sifting Sect.
What, does your sect intend to break the rules and engage in a spell battle within our Jinxi Market?” spoke the very Taoist whose tone had been unfriendly.
This old Taoist had gray hair, a ruddy complexion, and at a glance of his glaring eyes, he appeared quite irascible.
The other person was a middle-aged monk with an ugly face and an upturned nose.
Although this monk didn’t speak rudely, he also wore a look of displeasure, coldly sizing up the people from the Yin Sifting Sect.
However, when his gaze passed over Han Li and the Endless Sky Saintess, a trace of astonishment flickered across his face.
For an unknown Nascent Soul cultivator to appear in Great Jin was possible but not in abundance.
As for those at the mid Nascent Soul Stage without a name, that was even more rare.
Yet, here before him were a man and a woman, both at the mid Nascent Soul stage, and their faces were entirely unfamiliar, which couldn’t help but secretly startle the monk.
“Wu Pi!
I, Ge Tianhao, merely wanted to verify some matters with the Fellow Daoist here.
What, you wish to meddle too?” Ge Tianhao obviously recognized the old Daoist and spoke coldly.
“No matter what you intend to do, the rule against fighting within the city market cannot be broken by anyone.
If you truly wish to fight, I ask you to move elsewhere.
Otherwise, do not blame this humble Daoist for not being courteous,” the old Daoist said sternly.
“Wu Pi, you might as well wait till we truly begin to fight before you take action.
I, Ge Tianhao, have long wanted to witness the divine skills of the True Extreme Sect,” said an enraged Ge Tianhao, his tone becoming harsh upon hearing this.
“Fellow Daoist Ge need not be angry.
As long as you do not urge your mana, we two will not interfere in the matters between Fellow Daoists.
However, these two benefactors appear to have unfamiliar faces.
May I ask you to kindly bestow upon us your esteemed names first?” Beside them, the ugly monk split his mouth in a grin and said, his eyes rotating slightly.
“Endless Sky Lin Yinping, glad to meet both Fellow Daoists.
The matter is quite simple.
This young lady suspects that this Fellow Daoist is a great enemy of our Heaventide Sanctuary, hence she would like to ask the Fellow Daoist to reveal the contents of his bundle, to prove his identity to me.
If Fellow Daoist is not the person I recognize, then Yinping is willing to offer a formal apology with a drink and not trouble you further,” said the Endless Sky Saintess, her neck gently turning to give Han Li a look, her bright eyes twinkling as she spoke.
“What a joke, who do you take me for?
Why should I prove my identity to you?” Han Li replied calmly, his expression unperturbed.
“If Fellow Daoist is unwilling to do so, then you might possibly be the very life-and-death adversary of our Sanctuary, and I, as the Endless Sky Saintess, simply cannot let you leave from before my eyes,” Lin Yinping’s lips pursed slightly, a thread of killing intent emerging in her eyes as she spoke coldly.
“The Endless Sky Saintess…
Could it be the Saintess of the reckless tribes on the Heaventide Prairies?” the old Taoist asked, a thought occurring to him and a slight frown crossing his brow.
The ugly monk beside him also showed a hint of astonishment upon hearing this.
“The two Fellow Daoists flatter me.
Indeed, I hold the position of the Saintess within our clan,” Lin Yinping admitted calmly.
“The Noble Clan’s Immortal Master Sun is endowed with an exceptional talent, barely four hundred years old and already advanced to the mid Nascent Soul Stage.
I had the fortune of meeting her several times in the past; is she still well now?” Wu Pi, the old Daoist, relaxed the angry look on his face and asked with softened tones.
“Immortal Master Xu is quite well, having advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage decades ago.
She is now one of the four great Immortal Masters of our clan,” said Lin Yinping, her heart secretly rejoicing upon hearing the old Daoist seemed to have some connections with her clan’s great Immortal Master.
“So Daoist Xu has advanced to the late stage, as expected.
She is so young to have reached this point, Daoist Xu might indeed have the chance to take another step forward,” said the old Daoist with an expression of realization, uttering words of sentiment.
Han Li faintly sensed something amiss, thoughts turning swiftly as lightning in his mind.
Could it really be necessary to engage in a fierce battle here against so many Nascent Soul adversaries, only to then employ Bloodshadow Evasion to escape?
As he hesitated, a barely audible transmission from Monarch Great Development suddenly reached him through his Divine Sense.
His brows twitched slightly as he listened to the brief message, and his expression immediately became resolute.
At that moment, the old Taoist asked a few more questions after exchanging words with Immortal Master Sun, and after glancing over at Han Li and hesitating slightly, he finally turned to Han Li and inquired,
“Fellow Daoist possesses notable cultivation.
May I ask about your background?
Perhaps this humble Daoist can mediate a resolution on behalf of both parties.” Although the old Taoist did not know Han Li’s true identity, even a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator, if only a Loose Cultivator, was not someone to be easily made an enemy of.
Therefore, his words were exceedingly polite.
“Brother Li seems not to have heard that upon entering Jinxi Market, one is obliged to disclose one’s origins.
If indeed the market has such a rule, I shall abide by it without exception.
If not, then please excuse my lack of interest in elaborating further,” Han Li replied with a stern face and a tone laced with sarcasm.
Upon hearing this, the old Taoist’s expression darkened, and annoyance welled up within him, but before he could say anything more, the monk on the side cheerfully interjected,
“Of course, our market doesn’t have such a stipulation.
Fellow Daoist Wu Pi was merely acting out of personal concern, hoping to dissolve any misunderstanding between the two parties.
If Fellow Daoist does not wish to speak, then let it be.
However, my colleague and I can only prevent conflicts within the market.
If Daoist Lin and others were to block the entrance outside the market and prevent Fellow Daoist from leaving, that would be beyond our jurisdiction.
At that point, if Fellow Daoist had to face four Nascent Soul cultivators alone…
I’m afraid…”
The monk wore a playful smile, but the hint of menace in his words was glaringly obvious.
Upon hearing this, Han Li sneered, but as his gaze swept over Ge Tianhao and the Endless Sky Saintess, their flickering eyes suggested that for the sake of the Ghost Sifting Banner and the captured sacred sect protecting beast, this group was indeed very likely to act in such a manner.
Thus, as his thoughts shifted, Han Li stared at Lin Yinping and spoke darkly,
“Merely inspecting the contents of my package will suffice?
If I were indeed the enemy you seek, there would be nothing more to say.
But what if you have mistaken me for another, and what you seek is not within my package?
Surely you do not really believe that a simple apology will suffice to dispel all my grievances?”
“What do you mean?
Are you threatening us?” Ge Tianhao’s voice turned icy, his tone menacing.
“Laughable.
Since you have recognized the wrong person and yet you insist on forcing Brother Li to open his package, such excessive bullying is not something I’ll forget.
I possess no great Divine Skills, but I do have some proficiency in several Escape Techniques.
Even if the four of you were to attack together, I am sixty to seventy percent confident I could escape.
But should things come to that point, do not blame Brother Li for resorting to any means necessary to deal with your sect and yourselves.
Being alone, I am not afraid of your potential revenge,” laughed Han Li heartily, then he added with an ominous tone.
Upon hearing this, not only did Ge Tianhao and Lin Yinping’s expressions subtly change, but even the monk and Wu Pi exchanged glances, likewise filled with some misgivings.
Judging from his tone, this person was not only a mid-Nascent Soul Loose Cultivator but also seemed to be one who held grudges-a most troublesome character that large sects strenuously avoided displeasing.
After all, with his level of cultivation, if he were to attack the disciples of sects indiscriminately, disregarding status and propriety, the harm inflicted would be tremendous.
If he were truly adept at a particular Escape Technique, that would be an even more vexing problem.
Even deploying late Nascent Soul cultivators might not guarantee they could catch him in time.
Before that, if he were just slightly more ruthless, the damage he could cause would be something even the ten great sects would find hard to bear.
Therefore, for cultivators above mid-Nascent Soul stage, even the Three Great Daoist Sects generally went to great lengths to win them over, or at least to avoid offending them.
If it were indeed unavoidable to have them as enemies, then naturally only high-level cultivators would be dispatched to hastily eliminate such adversaries.
Ge Tianhao and the others were also so unapologetically forceful in verifying Han Li’s identity solely because of a sect’s supreme treasure like the Ghost Sifting Banner.
But one question remained-if Han Li was indeed the one from Tian Luo who had taken the Ghost Sifting Banner, such actions were justified.
But if not, then they had truly stirred up trouble unnecessarily, creating a formidable enemy for their sect.
Considering this, Ge Tianhao involuntarily glanced at the Endless Sky Saintess.
Lin Yinping, the woman in question, also frowned slightly, clearly finding the situation troublesome.
Should Han Li truly be so vengeful and decide to retaliate massively against the Heaventide Prairies in the future, it would indeed be a headache for her.
“Why should Fellow Daoist make such a mountain out of a molehill?
We only wished to inspect the contents of your package.
How about this-if Yinping has truly wronged Fellow Daoist, Brother Li can set forth a reasonable condition to compensate for our mistaken assumption.
What do you think?” Lin Yinping’s beautiful eyes fluttered, and she smiled radiantly.
