Chapter 1213: Bestowing A Gift
"Fellow Daoist Sun? Weren't you killed by Lian Yan?" the black-robed young man exclaimed with a dumbstruck expression.
At the same time, an alarmed look appeared on the white-robed nun's face, and she hurriedly dodged to the side, just in the time to evade a thin streak of red light that glanced past her body.
Another streak of red light also appeared behind the black-robed young man, and it pierced through his chest, leaving behind a large hole.
Blood began to gush out of his mouth in an uncontrollable manner as he fell to the ground with his aura in a state of complete disarray.
Behind them, the red-robed woman lowered her hands in an expressionless manner, and there was still some red light glowing over her fingertips.
"You two were working together all along!" the white-robed nun exclaimed in a furious manner as she drew to a halt several thousand feet away.
"You're very alert, Celestial Maiden Yu. Unfortunately, you're already in my territory, so no matter how much you struggle, it'll only end in futility," Sun Chongshan said with a faint smile as he swept a sleeve through the air, and countless rays of dark red light instantly shot out of the six stone plaques around the plaza, then intertwined with one another to form a massive net that descended upon the white-robed nun.
At the same time, a menacing, ghostly face appeared on one of the stone plazas, and it opened its mouth to release a burst of dark red light to encompass the black-robed young man on the ground.
The black-robed young man was just about to struggle to his feet, but he was instantly immobilized as soon as the red light shone down upon him.
The white-robed nun's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and she began fleeing from the plaza as a purple lightning spirit domain erupted out of her body.
Countless arcs of purple lightning were swirling within the spirit domain like a vortex, with the lightning at the center of the vortex glowing particularly bright.
All of the purple lightning within the spirit domain converged toward the center of the vortex, forming a purple lightning sword that struck the net of dark red light up ahead with boundless power.
An opening was instantly sliced into the net, and the white-robed nun flew out of her spirit domain, aiming to flee the plaza through the opening.
"So you've already attained a spirit domain, but so what?" Sun Chongshan chuckled coldly as he extended a hand forward before clenching it into a tight fist, and the sky above shuddered as rays of dark red light shone down from above, forming a projection of a dark red mountain that came crashing down from the sky.
A burst of terrifying force descended from the heavens, instantly destroying the lightning spirit domain, while the white-robed nun was also stopped in her tracks before plummeting from the sky like a meteorite.
As soon as she landed on the plaza, a giant, ghostly face appeared on the stone plaque nearest to her as well, then opened its mouth to release a burst of dark red light to envelop her entire body, immobilizing her just like the black-robed young man.
Sun Chongshan descended onto the plaza, and the red-robed woman landed behind him.
At the moment, there was a very stiff and wooden look on her face, making her resemble a puppet, presenting a stark contrast with the spritely and seductive demeanor that she had displayed in the past.
"You planned all of this from the very beginning, didn't you, Sun Chongshan? What are your intentions?" the white-robed nun asked in a cold voice.
Sun Chongshan paid no heed to her as he swept a sleeve through the air, releasing a black storage tool and a green sword, both of which previously belonged to Lian Yan.
The white-robed nun and the black-robed young man hurriedly stepped forward to offer their gratitude.
Han Li took a glance at the latter, then swept a sleeve through the air, and the black-robed young man instantly vanished, having been moved elsewhere.
The white-robed nun hurriedly lowered her head in a respectful manner upon seeing this.
Generally speaking, most vastly powerful cultivators had rather strange personalities, so she had to be extra careful not to cause any offense.
"What's your name?" Han Li asked as he strode over to the white-robed nun.
"My name is Yu Menghan," Yu Menghan hurriedly replied.
With that, Han Li's suspicions were confirmed.
"I can sense that you've ascended from a lower realm, is that right?"
Yu Menghan faltered slightly upon hearing this, then replied in a truthful manner, "You have a discerning eye like no other, Senior, I am indeed from a lower realm by the name of the Spirit Domain Realm."
"I knew it, I can sense the aura of the Spirit Domain Realm in you. I'm technically also from the Spirit Domain Realm, so I suppose we must've been fated to meet here. I can see that you have a great deal of lightning-attribute energy in your body, so you must've eaten some type of lightning-attribute spirit medicine, right?
“The cultivation art you're currently using is only going to squander the lightning-attribute energy in your body, so take this instead. It'll be my gift to you as a fellow cultivator of the Spirit Domain Realm."
Han Li pulled out a jade slip that contained a cultivation art from the Five Lightning True Mantra as he spoke.
Yu Menghan accepted the jade slip in a slightly dazed manner. She felt like there was something familiar about Han Li, but she couldn't recall where they could've possibly met before.
With another sweep of his sleeve, Yu Menghan was also evicted from the room.
"Wasn't that a friend of yours, Master? Why didn't you reveal your true appearance to her?" Weeping Soul asked through voice transmission.
"So many things have changed since we last met, so it won't do us or her any good for me to reveal my identity to her," Han Li replied with a shake of his head, then made his way over to Sun Chongshan.
"Please forgive me, Senior. I've done many heinous things in the past, but I can turn over a new leaf! I'm willing to offer this Yama Cauldron to you in exchange for my life!" Sun Chongshan pleaded as he fell to his knees and began kowtowing repeatedly to Han Li.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you, and what you've done in the past has nothing to do with me. I have a few questions for you, and if you answer them truthfully, I can spare your life," Han Li said.
He wasn't some warrior of justice, and he had also killed and looted more than his fair share of people in the past.
The only difference was that all of the people that he had killed had harbored ill will toward him, whereas Sun Chongshan was killing purely for greed.
