Mortals, and even my disciple Han Li, don't mess with me!

"Is the Senior Brother Wu Feng that Senior Han mentioned the one who taught the Qi Refining stage disciples his spells?"

Compared to Lei Wanhe and the Murong brothers' puzzled expressions, Nie Ying immediately understood.

The main issue is that the first three had almost no interaction with Wu Feng.

Lei Wanhe is a Core Formation Ancestor, so it's almost impossible for him to have any connection with a Qi Refining disciple like Wu Feng.

The Murong brothers, on the other hand, have lightning-attribute spiritual roots, so the spells they cultivate are mainly lightning-attribute, and it's unlikely that they would have much to do with Wu Feng.

Therefore, of the four masters and disciples present, Nie Ying was the only one who had a lot of contact with Wu Feng.

"Yes, that's him."

Han Li nodded, staring at Nie Ying, a hint of expectation flashing in his eyes.

Unfortunately, Nie Ying shook her head and said apologetically.

"Senior Han, I'm so sorry, we were unaware of this."

Although disappointed upon hearing this, Han Li did not say anything more.

He simply nodded and changed the subject.

"Do you know what has become of Fairy Nangong of the Hidden Moon Sect?"

When asked this question, Han Li felt a little nervous.

Upon hearing Han Li's question to Nangong Wan, Lei Wanhe, Nie Ying, and the four members of the Murong brothers exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes and faces involuntarily revealing surprise and doubt.

However, under Han Li's gaze, Lei Wanhe still spoke up.

"Senior Nangong, you are now a Nascent Soul stage cultivator."

When he said this, Lei Wanhe's tone carried a hint of envy.

Because he was much older than Nangong Wan, yet Nangong Wan had already condensed her Nascent Soul before him, he naturally envied her a lot.

"Fairy Nangong has already formed her Nascent Soul."

Upon hearing this, Han Li couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Yes, it was a little earlier than my senior."

Lei Wanhe nodded heavily.

He could guarantee that something had definitely happened between Han Li and Nangong Wan that no one else knew about.

Moreover, Han Li definitely has feelings for Nangong Wan.

But upon closer reflection, this is understandable, as countless men from the Seven Sects of Yue were interested in Nangong Wan.

Unfortunately, none of them caught Nangong Wan's eye.

"Um!"

"What happened to Senior Sister Chen Qiaoqian? And what about my master and all my senior brothers and sisters?"

Han Li pressed on with more questions.

"Junior Nephew Chen has already passed away. As for Junior Brother Li, he perished in a battle with a Mulan clan mage. And as for the senior brothers and sisters, although some of them reached the late Foundation Establishment stage, they ultimately failed to condense their Golden Core and also passed away."

When Han Li asked him again, Lei Wanhe answered honestly.

After hearing Lei Wanhe's answer, Han Li couldn't help but show a hint of sadness on his face, and then he fell silent.

Seeing Han Li's reaction, Lei Wanhe and his three disciples remained silent, waiting for Han Li to speak.

After a moment, Han Li finally spoke again.

"Your purpose in coming here is probably to invite me back to Yellow Maple Valley, isn't it?"

Hearing Han Li bring up serious matters, Lei Wanhe became even more nervous and nodded, repeating Linghu Laoguai's promise.

"What Senior said is correct. Uncle Linghu said that as long as Senior is willing to return to the sect, then the position of Supreme Elder will be Senior's. After he passes away, all his treasures will belong to Senior and will not be passed on to his disciples. They will all belong to Senior as an apology for what happened back then. Afterwards, the entire sect will also be handed over to Senior."

He was extremely nervous after he finished speaking, and his three disciples were equally nervous.

Everyone was waiting for Han Li's answer.

Nowadays, Huangfeng Valley is almost entirely supported by Linghu Laoguai, and even though Linghu Laoguai is proficient in health preservation methods, his lifespan is already running out.

There wasn't a single person in the entire Yellow Maple Valley who had the potential to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

In the cultivation world, if a cultivation sect does not have a Nascent Soul stage patriarch to oversee it, then the sect will soon decline and fall apart. It might even be swallowed up by other sects and cease to exist.

Today, Maple Valley is facing such a crisis.

The only way to solve this is to invite Han Li back to Huangfeng Valley.

This is the only way now; there are no other options.

Unless, like the Falling Cloud Sect, another Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly appears in Yellow Maple Valley.

But this is clearly an impossible thing.

"Then please tell Fellow Daoist Linghu that since I have already left, I will not be going back. The Luoyun Sect is very good. My master and my two senior brothers have treated me very well. I cannot abandon them and return to Huangfeng Valley."

Han Li's answer left Lei Wanhe and his three disciples utterly disappointed and even desperate.

Even though I had prepared myself mentally, when I heard it with my own ears, my expression was still complicated and I didn't even know how to answer.

"Senior, the situation back then was truly unavoidable. I hope you will consider..."

Just as Lei Wanhe was about to try to persuade him again, before he could finish speaking, Han Li impatiently interrupted.

"No need to say any more! If there's nothing else, you may go back."

Upon hearing this, Lei Wanhe and his three disciples exchanged glances and bowed to Han Li in unison.

"This junior takes his leave!"

After saying that, he left the VIP pavilion of Luoyun Sect.

Only after completely leaving the area of ​​the Luoyun Sect did Lei Wanhe look at Nie Ying.

"Were you lying just now?"

"Master, I truly didn't know, and I am absolutely not lying."

Upon hearing this, Nie Ying shook her head repeatedly in denial.

At the same time, he looked around as if he was worried about something.

"Master, is it really impossible for that Senior Han to return to the sect? If he doesn't go back, what will we do when Senior Uncle Linghu passes away? If Senior Uncle Linghu hadn't done what he did back then, perhaps things would be different now..."

The eldest of the Murong brothers looked worried and asked the question that concerned him most.

"Alright, enough of that. No one can be blamed for what happened back then. After all, who would have thought that a disciple with a pseudo-spiritual root would successfully condense his Nascent Soul in just two hundred years? Not to mention my uncle, even I never imagined it. When we traded the medicinal formula with him back then, I just thought he was lucky to have succeeded in Foundation Establishment, but I never expected his luck to be so good that he's already a Nascent Soul cultivator. And I haven't even reached the late stage of Core Formation. It's truly laughable."

Upon hearing this, Lei Wanhe interrupted his boss and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Master, perhaps there is another way?"

Nie Ying's eyes flickered, and she suddenly spoke.

"Oh, what's your plan? Do you perhaps have a way to bring that Senior Han back to the sect?"

Lei Wanhe became curious and quickly pressed for an answer.

"Perhaps we can ask Senior Nangong of the Hidden Moon Sect to intervene. If she does, it might be possible to bring Senior Han back to the sect."

Nie Ying nodded and slowly and solemnly explained her solution.
