A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 249 No power to resist
"Wait, actually, we can lure them out before we make our move."

Gan Rushuang suddenly said.

Han Li turned his head, his gaze filled with a hint of inquiry.

“Husband, our eldest sister is now a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, and our senior brother is also at the early Nascent Soul stage. Although those two are far from being our match, if they activate the protective array of Linglong Mountain, they might be able to use its power to trap us for a while and then find a chance to escape.”

"It might be better to lure them to the outside of the mountain gate and then defeat them one by one."

Gan Rushuang made this suggestion.

It sounds reasonable.

Han Li smiled slightly upon hearing this:
"Are you worried that we might cause a huge disturbance in Linglong Mountain, resulting in unnecessary destruction and heavy losses for the entire Yanyue Sect? If so, you will feel ashamed before your deceased mentor?"

The beautiful woman remained silent, her brows slightly lowered.

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war, and a sneak attack is far more effective than tactics like stirring up trouble, luring the enemy away from their position, or taking a bait."

"If we use your appearance as bait to lure your senior sister away from the mountain gate to capture you, there is indeed a good chance that we can lure her out as you wish. However, it may also go against your expectations."

Han Li said calmly.

"how come?"

Gan Rushuang raised an eyebrow.

"You've alerted the enemy."

"She is, after all, a genuine mid-stage Nascent Soul expert. In the Tiannan region, there are only thirty or forty mid-stage Nascent Soul experts. Therefore, logically speaking, after you defected from the Hidden Moon Sect, you should have been hiding from her. And with your cultivation and methods back then, you should never have revealed your whereabouts in front of cultivators below the Nascent Moon Sect."

"Even so, you still showed yourself."

"The possibility of being careless and deliberately coming to the territory of the Hidden Moon Sect to be exposed is theoretically very small."

"Once she becomes suspicious, there are only a few remaining possibilities."

"Either you've reached the Nascent Soul stage and gained the ability to protect yourself, no longer fearing the pursuit of the Hidden Moon Sect. Or you've found a powerful backer and are no longer afraid of the Hidden Moon Sect's targeting. Or perhaps this is all a trap you set for the Hidden Moon Sect, and you yourself are the bait..."

"No matter which one it is, your senior sister and the others will be on high alert!"

Han Li paused after saying this.

What was supposed to be a blitzkrieg and ambush should not be allowed to turn into a trap for the enemy by alerting them.

Rather than being skillful and increasing the risk of unnecessary accidents, it's better to just go in and poke it in.

"Does my husband mean that having too many techniques will only expose our weaknesses?"

Gan Rushuang realized what was happening.

"Correct."

Han Li nodded.

A hint of uncertainty appeared on the beautiful woman's exquisite face.

"Although your senior sister sold you to Wei Lichen at a low price, it seems like she's undermining her own foundation. But she might not be really stupid; she might just be trying to eliminate dissidents in advance. I know that you and she have different political views, and once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you will inevitably clash with her, affecting her reputation in the Hidden Moon Sect."

"Your senior sister probably anticipated that situation, so she might as well make arrangements for you in advance and also make some profits from the Wei family."

This explanation made Gan Rushuang bite her lip.

Seeing this, Han Li reached out and took Gan Rushuang's warm, jade-like hand, squeezed it gently, and then offered a tender word of comfort:

"Don't worry, we'll act quickly and keep things in check."

Seeing Han Li's gaze, Manhu shrugged and then loosened his muscles: "I'm very eager to see the methods of the Nascent Soul cultivators from Tiannan, so I will definitely go all out from the start. It won't cause much damage."

Qingyi Jushi stroked his beard and nodded:

"Qing will also act swiftly and decisively."

Han Li: "..."

Is this how you comfort people?
...

Disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect are not difficult to find.

Soon, they had gathered five Foundation Establishment stage cultivators who were out on business.

"Walk."

At the foot of Linglong Mountain is an area where Qi Refining stage disciples gather.

The sect has a total of five or six thousand Qi Refining stage cultivators. Compared to the more than twenty thousand True Spirit Root disciples during the Yue Kingdom period, the current Hidden Moon Sect is simply no match.

Halfway up the mountain is the cave dwelling area for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Two hundred years ago, during the Yue Kingdom period, the Yan Yue Sect had at least a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators. But now, there are only a little over four hundred.

It's not that there wasn't time to recover, but rather that the Northern Liang Kingdom was just a small country, its territory and resources not much better than those of the Jiang and Cheqi Kingdoms of the past. After the arrival of the six major sects from the former Yue Kingdom, the tiny Northern Liang Kingdom not only had to settle the six sects but also support its own sects and families. Even though two of the four native families had migrated, the spiritual stone and herb production capacity of this small kingdom still had to support the daily needs of eight Nascent Soul level sects.

The eight major powers, not wanting to break ties, could only tighten their belts and live their own little world.

Also.

They also had to periodically send people to participate in the war between the Nine Nations Alliance and the Mulan people at the border.

As outsiders, the six sects including the Hidden Moon Sect were naturally cannon fodder, and the extent of their losses can be imagined.

Fortunately, the Hidden Moon Sect has only lost three Core Formation stage cultivators over the years.

Therefore, the team still maintains a mid-to-high-level lineup of about ten Core Formation stage cultivators.

"Come with me."

With the Disguise of the Shapeshifting Technique and with Gan Rushuang as their guide, the group of five successfully traversed the Foundation Establishment stage cave complex on the mountainside.

Are we going straight to the top of the mountain?

After passing through the cluster of caves on the mountainside, Gan Rushuang sent a telepathic message to Han Li.

Han Li shook his head:

"According to the pre-arranged plan, we will first eliminate those at the Core Formation stage one by one."

Soon, the five arrived at the cave dwelling of the first Core Formation stage cultivator.

During the process, it was not detected by powerful divine sense.

Upon arrival, Gan Rushuang, disguised as a disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect, used the sect's unique sound transmission talisman and technique to knock on the cave's door.

This is an emergency notification method that should not be used under normal circumstances. Once it is used, even if the Core Formation stage cultivator inside the cave is refining pills or breaking through to a higher cultivation level, they must interrupt their seclusion and leave.

"What happened? Why were you forcibly allowed to leave seclusion?"

A middle-aged man with a cold gaze strode out of the cave.

Han Li was taken aback when he saw this person.

Such a coincidence?

We met again.

This person was none other than a family cultivator from the Hidden Moon Sect who had inherited the mantle of Old Monster Qiong.

The man surnamed Lan wasn't a direct disciple of Qiong Laoguai, but rather a successor specially chosen by the sect after the deaths of Qiong Laoguai and his direct disciples. The truth is, the Invisible Needle magic weapon and the Invisible Needle escape technique were incredibly useful. On the battlefield, they were invincible.

However, when the Core Formation cultivator surnamed Lan saw that it was five Foundation Establishment stage managers without any special positions who came to his cave to report the news, he immediately realized something was wrong and tried to activate the cave's magic array and issue an early warning. But Han Li acted even faster.

Five copper rings of different colors and two Immortal-Falling Ropes flew out silently the moment the cave gate opened.

The Ancient Treasure Five Elements Ring is specifically designed to counter the spiritual power of the five elements.

The five rings vanished in the blink of an eye, and at such close range, they immediately appeared on the limbs and neck of the cold-faced middle-aged man, causing him to freeze abruptly and reveal a look of horror on his face.

A middle-aged person wants to use the magical power within their body to do something.

Han Li had already stepped forward, flicking his finger to cast a Soul-Suppressing Technique and a Hypnotic Technique:

"Stop messing around, I know your spiritual energy level very well."

Being within the Five Elements, there's no escaping it.

Immediately afterwards, he restricted the person with a restriction and added a talisman for extra protection before putting him into his human seed bag:
"next."

Upon hearing this, Gan Rushuang gave Han Li a strange look.

lead the way.

carry on.

An hour later.

The five Core Formation stage cultivators who remained at Linglong Mountain were all captured.

In truth, Gan Rushuang knew this place and the cultivators here far too well. Even newly promoted Core Formation cultivators were known to her by their cultivation techniques and spiritual energy attributes. Therefore, the Five Elements Ring made absolutely no mistakes or errors.

Finally, among the five, Han Li, Man Hu Zi, and Qing Yi underwent another round of changes.

Using the Transformation Technique, they disguised themselves as three Core Formation stage cultivators from the Hidden Moon Sect.

Because Foundation Establishment cultivators are not qualified to easily climb to the mountaintop, let alone report anything to the "Sunset Hall" where the Grand Elder resides.

The situation is different at the Core Formation stage.

Core Formation cultivators are already among the most elite figures in the sect, second only to the two Supreme Elders, so naturally no one stopped them. Even though the three of them were accompanied by two Foundation Establishment cultivators who were secretly monitoring the mountain passes, they all pretended not to see anything and turned a blind eye.

then.

The three of them easily reached the summit.

They then arrived outside the Sunset Palace.

"Reporting to the Grand Elder, the disciples of our sect have found a special clue, and the three of us have come to report it."

After Han Li, disguised as a middle-aged man surnamed Lan, dropped off a jade slip, he went to the council hall to wait.

Inside the council hall, the five men appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, they were already poised to make their move.

Two days later, the Grand Elder emerged from seclusion and arrived at the council hall with his accompanying maids:

"What happened? Did you find anything? Huh? Where's my junior brother? Why am I the only one here..."

Just as Elder Ni Cai began to have some doubts, several powerful auras, accompanied by several loud shouts, erupted in the council hall.

The loud shout contained a powerful soul-shaking force, which was a soul-suppressing technique.

The stronger a cultivator's spiritual sense, the more effective the technique will be against cultivators of the same level.

Han Li's divine sense is at the level of a great cultivator.

Its spiritual sense is even stronger than that of an ordinary great cultivator.

Barbarian Beard possessed naturally powerful spiritual sense, which was further amplified after cultivating the Great Evolution Technique. He was now nearly on par with a Grand Cultivator.

Although Qingyi was far inferior to the two, his spiritual strength was a notch higher than Ni Cai's.

Yuan Yao and Gan Rushuang's soul-suppressing technique was only supplementary, better than nothing.

Caught completely off guard, the Grand Elder was suddenly struck by the spiritual techniques of five Nascent Soul stage cultivators on his own territory, inevitably causing him to momentarily lose his senses.

The next moment, Han Li unleashed the Five Elements Rings, which bound the elder's limbs and neck, while the Immortal Rope bound the elder's legs. The exquisite ancient treasure, the Golden Mirror, on his left released a magnetic light, capable of turning any target illuminated by it into gold for a short time, thus imbuing them with the magnetism of metal.

It was at this time that:

"Om..."

When its owner is attacked, the magical artifact spontaneously protects its owner.

Suddenly, a radiant light rose from the Grand Elder's body, protecting him.

However, while the light barrier formed by this ancient treasure isolated the Five Elements Ring and the Falling Immortal Rope, it couldn't counteract the gravitational field created by the Golden Magnetic Bee Cloud Sword. The instant the protective light barrier formed, the thirty-six Golden Magnetic Bee Cloud Swords buried underground burst forth, releasing their golden magnetic gravitational fields. The sudden surge in gravity acted upon a small area, immediately causing the Grand Elder to stagger and then kneel heavily on the hall floor with a thud.

At that moment, it wasn't just Han Li who used his methods.

Gan Rushuang summoned the Vermilion Bird Ring and placed it around the waist of her senior sister. The Vermilion Bird Ring, once on the light barrier, significantly compressed the protective radiance.

Yuan Yao took a light, lotus-like step, and the high-grade ancient treasure, the Bewitching Bell, on her ankle immediately emitted a mesmerizing tinkling sound. Her hands then began to play the Melodious Pipa, and another sound entered the Grand Elder's ears, creating a double hallucination. This type of attack was beyond the defense of any light barrier.

The bearded man appeared in golden form, wearing a high-grade ancient treasure, the Purple Ice Bracelet, and a fine ancient treasure, the Thunder Wristband, on his arms.

With a punch and a slap, the protective aura around the Elder's body immediately dimmed completely.

The left side of my body is frozen, and the right side of my body is numb.

Qing Yi became even more ruthless, unleashing the top-tier ancient treasure: the Forget-Me-Not Needle.

If this needle were to pierce through, Elder Ni Cai would be doomed.

"Wait a minute, Brother Qing."

Gan Rushuang stopped her.

Han Li also waved his hand:
"No need, no need, we've already caught them alive."

Seeing this, Qingyi awkwardly withdrew his hand.

Gan Rushuang breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Li had already removed all the storage bags and spirit beast bags from the Great Elder's waist, and then placed a control restriction on him.

The attack was finally over.

The maid standing nearby is still unconscious.

The commotion here must have alerted the other cultivators nearby.

In response, Han Li calmly transformed into the appearance of the Grand Elder, donned the Grand Elder's robes, and then stepped out of the main hall:
"Hmph, even a petty thief can sneak into the sect's council hall. What are you all doing? How are you guarding the various key points leading up the mountain?"

In an instant, the aura of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was released.

This counter-accusation left the members of the Hidden Moon Sect's secret guards speechless with fear.

How could they dare to question anything?
"That's it, everyone go about your business."

Han Li waved his hand.

The disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect, on the other hand, felt a great sense of relief:

"Thank you, Great Elder."

Hearing this expression of gratitude, the person felt quite embarrassed.
