Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi let out sighs of relief since they hadn’t been attacked on their way to Myriad Sky Mountain.

The two women didn’t let their guard down, Han Li’s presence here was too abnormal. He was standing conspicuously on the peak, clearly serving as bait to lure them into a trap.

But the women felt they had no choice but to take the bait. What if they didn’t come forward and Han Li disappeared again? The Body-Cultivating Furnace was essential, and they didn’t wish to continue lingering.

This was an open strategy.

Confident in their strength, the two women had it all figured out— the powerhouses from Tianxuan Mountain couldn’t possibly be here.

If Han Li had handed over the Body-Cultivating Furnace, the whole of Tianxuan Mountain would be on alert, with strict control over information, and Han Li wouldn’t be allowed to wander about; if he hadn’t handed it over, it was even less likely for Tianxuan Mountain’s powerhouses to be present.

The women didn’t fly up to the mountain right away but checked the area first.

After confirming there were no ambushes by powerful cultivators on Myriad Sky Mountain and reconfirming that Han Li’s cultivation was indeed at the fifth level of the Pihai Realm, they then flew toward the summit.

As they drew increasingly closer to the mountaintop, both Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi became solemn, immensely vigilant, and cautious of one another.

There was a very high chance that the Body-Cultivating Furnace was on Han Li, and his presence here meant that they could obtain the furnace today.

However, the two women stood on different grounds.

Yun Miaoyi represented the top-ranked devil sect, Yinyang Sect, while Jiang Baiye represented Canghai Sect. Moreover, the Body-Cultivating Furnace was originally a treasured artifact of the Canghai Sect.

Both were determined to have the furnace, and with such a treasure in sight, neither wished to yield. A fierce battle was inevitable later on, one that would decide to whom the Body-Cultivating Furnace would belong.

Although both women intended to contend for the furnace after it appeared, neither knew if the other would launch a surprise attack. They had to remain exceedingly cautious to avoid being capsized in the gutter.

Atop the mountain, Han Li was facing away from the women, seemingly oblivious to the approach of Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi.

In reality, he was fully aware of their every move. Seeing that they didn’t take action early, he felt a tinge of disappointment, for the favored daughters of the great sects were indeed tougher to deal with.

They hadn’t been blinded by the great treasure, resorting to violence before the situation became clear, or attacking the other stealthily.

But Han Li was only slightly disappointed, as all this was within his expectations.

Yun Miaoyi and Jiang Baiye stood to the left and right, about a dozen meters apart. Neither of them made the first move but shared a tacit understanding.

They would vie for the Body-Cultivating Furnace only after it appeared; before then, they didn’t want Han Li to fall into the other’s hands, as he was the key to obtaining the furnace.

“Han Li?”

Yun Miaoyi glanced at Jiang Baiye and called out.

Jiang Baiye immediately prepared to act, mentally communicating with the Divine Sword she carried on her back.

When Han Li turned around and his eyes lit up upon seeing Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi, he believed the Tianji Pavilion’s intelligence that both women were peerless beauties.

Jiang Baiye was unrivaled in her cold beauty, like a white-haired female sword immortal from afar; Yun Miaoyi radiated charm in abundance, the very image of an enchanting witch.

Looking at the women, Han Li’s mind remained clear of distractions, and he simply nodded slightly.

Upon seeing Han Li’s features, the hearts of Yun Miaoyi and Jiang Baiye relaxed —it was indeed Han Li. They had long since obtained his portrait and had it etched in their minds.

“You killed Lu Renbin, didn’t you?”

Just as Yun Miaoyi was edging closer to Han Li, trying not to show her intent, Jiang Baiye suddenly spoke.

“Correct.”

Han Li did not deny it. After noticing the women plotting to ambush him, he knew that the past events had come to light.

With both women having pursued him here, denying it would serve no purpose.

“Where is the Body-Cultivating Furnace?”

Yun Miaoyi asked hastily, wanting to move closer to Han Li without giving herself away, but she received a cold look from Jiang Baiye.

After restraining Yun Miaoyi, Jiang Baiye stared intently at Han Li, very eager to know the whereabouts of the Body-Cultivating Furnace.

But she raised her vigilance to the highest level in her heart. The reason she and Yun Miaoyi hadn’t started fighting was precisely because the whereabouts of the Body-Cultivating Furnace were unknown. What if Han Li had hidden the Body-Cultivating Furnace?

Once the location of the Body-Cultivating Furnace was exposed, Yun Miaoyi would definitely make her move immediately, as would she; then it would come down to a contest of strength.

Han Li did not answer Yun Miaoyi’s question, but narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “I want to make a deal with you both.”

“What deal?” Jiang Baiye asked in a cool voice.

Yun Miaoyi looked at Han Li with a playful expression. This Han Li was nothing like the rumors.

The rumors had it that Han Li was a greedy ancestor who indulged in female charms, a coward hiding within Lingjun City, never venturing out to vie for resources, almost never taking action, a mediocre cultivator who had his edges worn down.

But at this moment, Yun Miaoyi felt that those were all just Han Li’s deceptions.

Han Li had realized that they were on the trail of the Body-Cultivating Furnace and were targeting him, and had procured their information in advance. Yet he deliberately lured the two to Myriad Sky Mountain; one had to say his courage and insight were exceptional.

Upon seeing these two remarkable women, there was no trace of frivolous thoughts or desire in Han Li’s eyes. Where was there any hint of greed for female charms?

Being able to kill Lu Renbin meant that Han Li’s cultivation was not limited to the fifth layer of the Pihai Realm; he must be at least a Great Master of the Gangyuan Realm.

Faced with the two true cultivators of the God Refining Realm, he remained unruffled and calm, wanting to negotiate a deal with them.

The Han Li before them was indeed courageous and wise, exceptionally insightful, extremely clear-headed, and also blessed with an attractive appearance.

Yun Miaoyi sneered to herself. No matter how cunning Han Li was, his cultivation was always too weak; he could not escape the palm of her hand.

Han Li’s expression was impassive as he looked at the two women and said, “I can hand over the Body-Cultivating Furnace, but you must promise that whoever obtains the Body-Cultivating Furnace must not trouble me or the Han

Family by any means.”

“I agree.” Yun Miaoyi said with a giggling smile.

Jiang Baiye glanced at her and said nothing, merely nodding in agreement.

“Then swear by your Daoist oaths.” Han Li said indifferently.

“Fine. ”

Frowning slightly, Jiang Baiye still agreed.

Han Li looked towards Yun Miaoyi. Yun Miaoyi sneered and said dismissively, “You’re not qualified to make a deal with me.”

“Hand over the Body-Cultivating Furnace now, or else not only will you die, but all your pretty little concubines and the entire Han Family will be annihilated.”

As a witch, she could go back on something she agreed to at the drop of a hat without any burden.

But if she swore by her Daoist oath, that would be a different matter. If she broke it, her Daoist heart would indeed be harmed, clouded, making her breakthrough to the Hollow Void Stage much more difficult, not to mention hoping to ascend to the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

She had taken great risks to infiltrate the Daqian Empire, spending so much effort and time. If she did not acquire the Body-Cultivating Furnace, she would have suffered a great loss.

She would then have to vent her anger on Han Li. If it weren’t for Han Li killing Lu Renbin, she might have found him first and obtained the Body-Cultivating

Furnace.

Han Li sighed inwardly. This approach was indeed a dead end; he had only wanted to try before taking action. If it had worked out, he would have been out of the picture, but unfortunately, Yun Miaoyi, the witch, would not agree.

“Boom!”

Before Yun Miaoyi’s words had fully settled, Han Li made his move, striking with full force and without the slightest hesitation.

Since they couldn’t reach an agreement, he had no interest in further idle talk; he would deal with the two young women after capturing them.
