“Please, Master Zhao, make your move.”
Liu Heng respectfully requested, clasping his hands.
The cold-hearted young man, standing out from the crowd, walked up to Han Yi and announced his name.
“Heavenly Will Sect, Zhao Li.”
The serious look in the eyes of the cold-hearted young man flashed.
In his heart, Han Yi’s fire magic skill, which had just easily destroyed a mid-grade magic weapon and directly killed the ninth level Qi cultivating cultivator, was so powerful that even he was internally shocked.
Although his skills were stronger than Tang Xiangyu’s, his cultivation realm was the same. Overall, he was only slightly stronger.
When the three words ‘Heavenly Will Sect’ came out, everyone was shocked.
So was Han Yi.
At the beginning of his transmigration, from his mind, he was only aware of the prominent name of One Country, Two Saints, and Three Great Sects in Daqian Immortal Country and thought there were only these six powerful entities with Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.
However, as he met more and more cultivators and got to know more about the Cultivation World, he understood his previous limitations.
In reality, his understanding of sects with Nascent Soul Stage was biased.
The One Country, Two Saints, and Three Great Sects in Daqian Immortal Country are indeed sects with Nascent Soul Stages or above.
However, these three sects represent the powerful entities that once had a Spirit Transformation Expert. Even though there are no new Spirit Transformation Experts currently, there are more than one Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the sect, and the sect possesses powerful resources capable of resisting a Spirit Transformation Expert.
This is the true meaning of the six great powers.
In Daqian, besides these six powers, there are some other sects that have Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. These sects usually have one or two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators and are much weaker than the six powers, but slightly stronger than normal Golden Core Stage sects like Xuandan Sect.
There are seven such sects in Daqian, two in Shu State and five in Qianzhou, and among them, the Heavenly Will Sect is one.
Han Yi clasped his hands, “Xuandan Sect, Han Yi.”
As soon as the voice fell, the opponent made his move.
One could only see Zhao Li, touching his forehead, and an illusionary knife shadow appeared above his head.
Although the knife shadow was not big, even smaller than Han Yi’s Wind Demon Dagger, the ferocity it emanated made Han Yi fully alert.
This is the cultivation method of the Heavenly Will Sect.
The will of heaven is like a knife, which can behead immortals and gods.
II
Slash!
II
Zhao Li uttered a light command, the knife shadow trembled slightly and seemed to instantaneously traverse a distance of more than ten meters, rapidly approaching Han Yi. Han Yi only felt the oncoming knife shadow was not inferior to the spear attack he faced when he saved Chu Jinmo in the Evil Mountain Range.
This time.
He did not adopt the Fire Shield Skill for defense because there was no time.
The Heavenly Will Knife, driven by spiritual consciousness, surpassed many ordinary magic skills in speed. At the critical moment, his battle instinct had already reacted first.
Draw the sword.
The black long sword fought for the first time, its body trembled slightly as if excited.
The Shadow Bearing Sword was a top-grade magic weapon among superior-grade ones.
Boom!!
The shadowy knife image was halted, hovering in place, but Han Yi retreated three steps.
“So strong.”
The illusionary knife shadow dimmed a bit, but its aura remained fierce.
However.
After this stroke, Han Yi had a rough understanding of the opponent’s strength.
The Heavenly Will Sect cultivator named Zhao Li, when he used the Heavenly Will knife, his mysterious and unpredictable aura was finally captured by Han Yi. His cultivation realm was only at the early stage of the ninth level of Qi cultivation.
However, the power of that knife belonged to the category of the power of senior Qi cultivation, even slightly stronger than Liu Heng and the slain Tang Xiangyu.
Like him, the opponent could also fight against cultivators of higher realms.
He was slightly weaker than the spear-wielding cultivator he had met in the Evil Mountain Range.
Of course, that spear-bearing cultivator was dual cultivating the body and spirit, while this Heavenly Will Sect cultivator practiced a similarly unique technique, making it hard to compare them.
Han Yi had a rough idea in his heart and was fully alert, knowing that he couldn’t win this fight without giving it his all.
The Shadow Bearing Sword in his hand was about to be thrown out, transforming into Sword Control Mode.
Just at this moment.
The Heavenly Will Sect cultivator named Zhao Li suddenly sighed.
The illusionary knife shadow that was hovering between them trembled slightly and then vanished.
“My master told me that after I leave the mountain, I would meet a cultivator with a lower realm but stronger than me. I didn’t believe it at the beginning, but now it seems that you are the cultivator my master mentioned.”
“This is the will of heaven.”
“Heaven’s will is thus, Daoist Han, Zhao is willing to admit defeat.”
After saying that, Zhao Li bowed to Liu Heng, who was dumbfounded on the other side, “Lord Liu, I apologize. Heaven ordered me to make a move, but heaven has predetermined my defeat. As the will of heaven is so, there is no need to fight.”
“Zhao takes his leave.”
With that, the cold-hearted youth stopped speaking, turning and walking away. He crossed the threshold of the door and disappeared from everyone’s sight.
From the moment the shadow of the knife disappeared, to the disappearance of Zhao Li, everyone in the scene, including Han Yi and the elderly cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage who was sitting nearby, didn’t react at all.
A twitch appeared at the corner of Han Yi’s mouth.
It wasn’t until Zhao Li left that he finally managed to react.
The other party was a cultivator from the Heavenly Will Sect, not an ordinary cultivator.
This sect, in the remote ancient times when Daqian was still not established as a country, had another, more mysterious name, Fate Sect, suggesting it could transcend fate and capture the future.
This was something that even real immortals couldn’t accomplish.
The Fate Sect drew too much attention and ended up in calamity. After it disintegrated, the surviving members no longer wished to pry into fate or defy it, but instead sought to comply with the will of Heaven, thus changing the name to Heavenly Will Sect.
The number of cultivators in the Heavenly Will Sect wasn’t large. The entire sect only had around a hundred cultivators. These cultivators also held a unique standing in the Cultivation World. They held a profound belief in the will of Heaven, their behavior mystical and unfathomable sometimes to the extent of seeming to be holy fools.
Rather than calling them unique, it would be more apt to call them eccentric.
And Zhao Li was the first Heavenly Will Sect cultivator that Han Yi had encountered. For a while, he didn’t associate Zhao Li with the unique characteristics of Heavenly Will Sect cultivators.
But at this moment, when Zhao Li uttered a theory on the Heavenly Will that seemed self-coherent, Han Yi finally understood the sect’s evaluation of the Heavenly Will Sect: “Whatever they do, they follow the will of Heaven. It may be unexpected, yet it falls within the scope of the Heavenly Will.”
Crowd.
With Zhao Li’s departure, all eyes turned to Liu Heng.
Liu Heng was almost biting his teeth off. Originally, he thought that inviting a strong sect cultivator to preside over, would be absolutely foolproof, but he didn’t expect that the other party would act so eccentrically, something he never could have imagined. Before this, all of the other’s actions had been completely normal.
But now there was no way to change the past. Even if he were to join the battle, he would only end up severely injured or even dead. Moreover, he still had other contingency plans and wasn’t in a hurry.
“Let’s go.”
Liu Heng gave a bow to the elderly cultivator from Daqian who was sitting nearby, then turned around and walked away without any hesitation. The other members of the Liu family followed him and left immediately.
He still had other tricks up his sleeve. There was no urgency.
The outcome has been determined.
The elderly Foundation Establishment cultivator from Daqian Sky Bureau finally rose slowly to his feet.
“The result of today’s adjudication has been determined. The Spirit Field still belongs to the Luo family.”
After saying that, he slowly walked away. Before leaving, he merely gave Han Yi a deeper look without saying anything else.
The curtain fell on this adjudication battle.
The people of the Luo family were overjoyed.
Han Yi didn’t linger on. The second day, he took a step ahead of Luo Yunzhou and left the Daofu City, planning to go to the nearest big city, Tong City.
He planned to take an Immortal Ship in Tong City to return to Nanyang County. This way he could get back to the sect at the fastest speed.
Before leaving, Luo Yunzhou gave Han Yi a storage bag and said it was a token of thanks for him.
In it, not only was there the Luo family’s ten-year earnings from the Spirit Field, but also some unique Spirit Wine.
Han Yi’s divine consciousness scanned the contents of the storage bag. He was not interested in the ten-year earnings of the Spirit Field but was interested in the Spirit Wine.
“Thank you.” Han Yi accepted.
Luo Yunzhou apologized, “Junior Brother Han, I originally wanted to go back with you, but the Luo family has just stabilized and I need to stay in Daofu City for another three months. I regret that you want to go back, otherwise, I would definitely take you around Daofu City.”
Han Yi waved his hand, not minding, “It doesn’t matter. You take care of your family first. I’ll get back to the sect faster on my own.”
The next day.
Han Yi didn’t wait for Luo Yunzhou to send him off and left quietly on his own.
Walking on the streets of Daofu City, he couldn’t help but recall the first assassination he had faced in Mengshan City when he first crossed over many years ago.
It was that assassination that made him understand the brutality of the Cultivation World, at the same time, it also laid the foundation for his cautious and low-profile attitude. It also gave him a set of daggers, which, after later cultivating the Sword Control Skill, found a battle tactic that suited him.
Such was life, every encounter would influence the course of life that follows.
A lot of thoughts went through his mind. When he walked a few miles out of Daofu City and passed a forest, Han Yi suddenly had an intuition and stopped in his tracks.
As he stopped, a flash of Spirit Light flickered within a hundred meters radius with him at the center. The forest that used to be on his left and right disappeared, and the road behind him vanished as well.
Han Yi suddenly tensed up.
II
I was caught unawares.”
“This is… a formation.”
Han Yi wasn’t unfamiliar with formations. He had a Soul Locking Array in his backyard, and he had seen the Concealment Spirit Array in the Evil Mountain Range. Moreover, during his fight with the giant tiger, he had experienced Li Yi’s formidable Sword Formation.
This [made] made him extremely wary of formations. It was a skill among the myriad arts of cultivation that was not weaker than a Spiritual Talisman.
As the formation revealed itself, thirteen shadows also appeared.
Han Yi’s face calm, but at this moment, the magical energy in his body had already been stirred. All his means would be used. Seeing as how the enemy had laid out a formation and there were thirteen of them ready to kill, they must have a powerful offensive. He wouldn’t be foolish enough to think he could still negotiate.
The Shadow Bearing Sword, Wind Demon Dagger, Yin Thunder Talisman, Speed Talisman, Protecting Body Talisman, and even the top-grade magical tool Golden Light Shuttle that was only initially refined, if he encountered a crisis, he would launch an attack.
“You’ve spoiled Liu family’s plans, you deserve to die.”
A voice full of hatred rang out from among the thirteen people..
