Han Yi was unaware of the impending crisis. However, even if he knew, they had made an Immortal Path oath, so it was impossible for him to give up this time.
He took the money and proceeded with the task.
After leaving Tian Nan Immortal City and exiting the range of its nation luck, Han Yi used the Yi Yao Secret Skill to obscure their tracks, making it difficult for anyone to trace them.
Then,
He transformed into a short, thin elder cultivator whose demeanor was completely different from before, becoming extremely amiable and friendly. His cultivation realm remained at the Golden Core Early Stage, as changing it would only invite trouble.
The sudden transformation left Yu Xi dumbfounded.
It was her first time witnessing a cultivator with such a powerful ability to change their appearance and aura. If she hadn’t witnessed Han Yi’s transformation, she would never be able to find him among other cultivators.
“This is a powerful secret technique.”
“It’s called Disguise Technique, which I learned from the Daqin Immortal Pavilion. Not only can it change one’s appearance, but it can also alter one’s aura.”
Han Yi explained.
His current expression was amiable and friendly with a smiling face, making Yu Xi feel somewhat unreal. This contrasted sharply with his previous arrogant demeanor. She instinctively nodded in response.
Han Yi stopped talking and let his spiritual consciousness lead the way towards Yu City.
Daqin Immortal Country occupied four of the Nine States in the Yu Heng World. Yu State was located in the south, with Yu City at its heart. Numerous influences, sects, and cultivation families were gathered in Yu City.
It took Han Yi and Yu Xi twenty-five days to reach Yu City, seven days longer than expected.
During their journey, Han Yi did not take the usual route but instead took a slightly roundabout path. Although it took more time, it also made it less likely for them to encounter ambushes along the way.
Seeing Han Yi’s actions, Yu Xi became increasingly convinced that he was an experienced and secretive cultivator. Her understanding of him deepened after witnessing his proficient handling of their attackers, as well as the way he effortlessly collected the spoils of battle.
She was convinced that Han Yi was not an ordinary Golden Core cultivator from the Xuandan Sect. Instead, he must be hidden in the shadows, and was far more powerful than it appeared—perhaps even at the Middle Golden Core Stage, or perhaps the Late-stage Golden Core.
Moreover, she deduced that he must have taken on many dirty jobs and killed numerous people, given his proficiency at both.
Instead of being frightened, Yu Xi felt reassured by this revelation.
Since they had sworn an Immortal Path oath, the more experienced and powerful Han Yi was, the more advantageous it would be for her and the Yu family. She hoped they could successfully complete the trade.
Yu City, like Shu Du, was immense.
Although no immortal country in Yu Heng World’s history had ever used it as an Immortal City, many cultivators were accustomed to calling it Yu City.
Yu City was vast and divided into nine Immortal Rings, just like Shu Du. This method of dividing cities was common in most states within the Nine States.
Their destination this time was within the Sixth Immortal Ring of Yu City, at the Supreme Pavilion’s branch in Yu State.
More than a month ago, at the start of their journey, Yu Xi had given Han Yi maps of Yu State and Yu City.
After entering Yu City through the Immortal Ship Channel, Han Yi took Yu Xi directly to the Eighth Immortal Ring. From there, they rented another Immortal Ship to travel to the Sixth Immortal Ring.
During this process, Yu Xi wore a mask that was a low-grade magical treasure. It could change her appearance and aura, making her virtually unrecognizable. However, it was nowhere near as convenient as the Disguise Technique.
At this moment, Yu Xi looked like a young girl following behind Han Yi, making the two seem like grandfather and granddaughter.
In fact, they had already agreed to act as loose cultivators with a grandfather-granddaughter relationship.
The two rented an Immortal Ship and arrived at the Sixth Immortal Ring without incident, reaching their destination and putting Yu Xi at ease. However, Han Yi’s expression became more serious.
On this mission, the main problems were not on the way but at their starting and ending points.
Han Yi had already dealt with the problem at their starting position by killing the three brothers from the Tuoba family.
Now, the biggest issue remained at their destination.
The Supreme Pavilion’s branch in Yu State covered an enormous area.
Although he had never visited the Immortal Pavilion’s headquarters in Qian Du or its branches in Shu Du, Han Yi had been to the Immortal Pavilion’s station in the Eighth Immortal Court of Qian Du. Compared to the Supreme Pavilion in front of him, the station seemed insignificant.
It could no longer be called a ‘pavilion’ but instead a vast complex of palaces. The outermost palaces were reserved for Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators to trade, with facilities for Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and even Spirit Transformation cultivators further inside.
Without a doubt, the Supreme Pavilion’s scale was impressive, far surpassing the Immortal Pavilion. After all, their respective backers were worlds apart.
“Next, we need to find the cultivator we agreed to meet earlier, Ku Mu Monarch?” Han Yi looked back at Yu Xi and confirmed their objective..
