Chapter 990

Shi Chuankong heard the conversation between Madam Liu Hua and Sha Xin and walked over after pondering for a moment.

"City Lord Sha Xin, I have something to discuss with you. I wonder if you'll do me the honor?" Shi Chuankong cupped his hands and said.

"What's the matter, Sect Fellow Shi?" Sha Xin glanced at Shi Chuankong and said indifferently.

"Can I have a word with you?" Shi Chuankong asked again.

Sha Xin's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a sharp light faintly appeared in her eyes.

Shi Chuankong just smiled and calmly met Sha Xin's scrutinizing gaze.

Sha Xin withdrew her sharp aura and nodded. She got up and walked to the side with Shi Chuankong to communicate with him.

…

In the underground space.

Han Li came to a flat ground with Violet Spirit in his arms and placed her on the ground.

He then took out a healing pill and gave it to Violet Spirit. He then sat quietly to the side and looked at Violet Spirit's sleeping face.

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

Violet Spirit's brows furrowed slightly, and with a soft cry, she opened her eyes.

"You're awake?" Han Li leaned over and looked at her with a trace of excitement in his eyes.

Violet Spirit's pair of bright eyes looked over and there was no longer any confusion. It was obvious that she had completely regained her senses.

The next moment, her delicate body stiffened and her beautiful eyes stared blankly at Han Li.

"Is it really you?" She reached out and stroked Han Li's cheek and murmured. She seemed to be in a daze.

"It's me. I've made you suffer all these years." Han Li held Violet Spirit's soft hand and said softly.

The two didn't speak again and just stared at each other. They seemed to be immersed in the joy of reuniting in another world after so many years.

Han Li looked at Violet Spirit's incomparably beautiful face. Everything in the past flashed through his mind.

He and Violet Spirit had inadvertently met in the Scattered Star Seas. After that, they had gone through trials and tribulations together in the Heavenvoid Hall, the Umbra Realm, and other places. After that, they had entered the Devilfall Valley together and forged an inseparable friendship. That was how they had traveled together in the Great Jin Dynasty, and then they had reunited in the Devil World …

These scenes seemed as if they had happened yesterday, and they flashed in his heart and were engraved into his bones.

Now, in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years had passed. When he looked back, the beauty was still the same. Things were different, and people were different. It was like a lifetime had passed.

Violet Spirit's clear eyes reflected the minute changes in Han Li's expression, as if she had also fallen into reminiscence.

After a long while, Violet Spirit regained her composure and said, "I thought it would be a long time before I could see you again after ascending to the Upper Realm. After all, this place is simply too big … I didn't expect to see you so soon, and under such circumstances."

"Now that I think about it, it's all a coincidence. I came to the Demon Territory because of a matter. Otherwise, I don't know how long it would take to meet you." Han Li couldn't help but wake up from his thoughts when he saw this, and he smiled as he spoke.

Both of them were strong-willed people. Even though it had been a long time since they last met, they were still able to quickly restrain their surging emotions.

"By the way, I remember that I was brought to the Puppet City by City Lord Shaxin after I entered the Scale Realm. How did I end up here?

What is this place? "Violet Spirit looked around with a puzzled expression.

"This is the depths of the Jilin Spatial Realm in the Great Ruins. After you entered the puppet city, Sha Xin must've used some method to seal your soul, so you don't remember what happened in the past few days..." Han Li recounted what had happened after the two of them met, as well as what he had heard from the puppet city about the violet spirit.

"I see. I didn't expect City Lord Shaxin to seal my memory. Fortunately, she didn't have any malicious intentions towards me. Otherwise, you and I wouldn't be able to meet peacefully today," Violet Spirit murmured to herself, and then smiled.

"As the saying goes, 'One must not have the intention to harm others, but one must always guard against others'. We don't know Shaxin's temperament very well, but it's still best to be careful," Han Li said.

"Yes, I know. I was a little careless before," Violet Spirit replied obediently.

"By the way, how was the situation in the Lower Realm after I ascended?

How did you ascend to the Upper Realm so quickly? According to my estimation, with your aptitude, you shouldn't have ascended so quickly. "Han Li seemed to have thought of something again, and asked with some puzzlement.

"You want to ask about Sister Nangong's situation, right?

Just ask directly, why do you have to beat around the bush? "Violet Spirit rolled her eyes at Han Li.

Han Li did have such an intention, and was immediately a little embarrassed when Violet Spirit's words exposed him.

"Don't worry, before I transcended the tribulation, I went to the Spirit Realm to investigate. With the resources you left behind, everything in the Qingyuan Palace is normal.

Sister Nangong's cultivation is also very smooth, and she has already reached the Mahayana Realm. Currently, she is accumulating resources and making preparations in various aspects to strive to transcend the tribulation of ascension as soon as possible … As for me, it's because of some opportunities. It's a long story, so I transcended the tribulation earlier than Sister Nangong and the others, "Violet Spirit said faintly.

When Han Li heard this, although his expression didn't change, he was secretly relieved.

"You cultivate an orthodox human cultivation method, and you ascended to the Immortal Realm, right? How did you end up in the Demon Realm?" Violet Spirit asked.

"When I ascended, I did indeed ascend to the Northern Frost Celestial Realm of the True Immortal Realm. After that, a lot of things happened, and that's why I came to the Demon Realm." Han Li nodded.

"Although it hasn't been long since I ascended to the Demon Realm, I know that the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm are sworn enemies. I'm very curious, why did you travel with the prince of the Sunrise Night Dynasty, and you seem to have a good relationship with him?" Violet Spirit blinked and asked.

"Speaking of this, it's a long story. When I ascended to the Northern Frost Celestial Realm, I encountered a powerful enemy and lost my memory. I wandered in the Spirit Realm, and it took me a long time to regain my cultivation and return to the True Immortal Realm … After that, I went to the Black River Palace to look for you, and I learned that you were brought into the Scale Realm by someone, so I entered the Scale Realm as well. The heavens do not disappoint those who persevere, and I finally found you."

Han Li recounted everything that had happened during these past few years to Violet Spirit, and aside from the matters that were inappropriate for him to talk about with the Heavenly Bottle, he didn't conceal any of the details.

Violet Spirit's expression changed again and again as she listened to Han Li's bizarre experiences over the years. Even though she was a determined woman, she could not help but feel uneasy as she listened to Han Li's narration.

Especially when she heard that Han Li was willing to risk his life to enter the Scale Realm in order to find her, she was even more touched.

After a long time, Han Li finally finished his story. Violet Spirit stared at the void in front of her, lost in thought.

"Although I knew that you were a person with great divine power and great fortune, and that your abilities were far beyond my expectations, I still did not expect that you would experience so many things over the years, and that your cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds, reaching the Taiyi Realm.

During this period, you must have suffered a lot, "Violet Spirit sighed and said faintly.

"I did encounter some dangers, but since it's all over, it's naturally not a big deal.

Also, if I didn't encounter so many dangers, my cultivation would not have improved so quickly. This is the so-called misfortune and blessing depend on each other. "Han Li smiled nonchalantly.

"You're quite open-minded.

But what do you plan to do next? "Violet Spirit smiled and did not dwell on the matter, but changed the topic.

"I previously promised Daoist Xie to protect him here until he fully recovers, then leave the Scale Realm and find a way to return to the Realm of True Immortals," Han Li said after a moment of thought.

"Daoist Xie has a way to leave the Scale Realm?" Violet Spirit asked in surprise.

"Haha, don't worry, Daoist Violet Spirit. When I fully recover, I will be able to activate the Origin Power of the Scale Realm and teleport you two out of this dangerous place." Daoist Xie's voice suddenly rang out without warning.

A faint blush appeared on Violet Spirit's face upon hearing this.

"Violet Spirit, you've only just ascended to the Elder Devil Realm, so your cultivation base is still quite weak. Come with me to the Realm of True Immortals in the future. As long as you have enough Origin Devil Stones, you'll be able to cultivate in the Realm of True Immortals as well," Han Li said in a solemn voice.

Hearing this, Zi Ling fell silent and did not speak for a while.

Han Li was well aware of her personality, so he did not rush her and merely waited in silence.

After a brief silence, Violet Spirit suddenly said, "Brother Han, I have a question that I've been wanting to ask you for a long time."

"Go ahead." Han Li faltered slightly upon hearing this before nodding.

"In your heart, between me and Big Sister Nangong, who do you care more about?" Violet Spirit looked directly into Han Li's eyes with bright eyes.

Han Li faltered on the spot upon hearing this, and only after a long while did he manage to force a smile onto his face. "Violet Spirit, why do you say that? You and Wan 'er are both the people that I care about the most."

Violet Spirit continued to stare at Han Li. Gradually, Han Li felt as if he couldn't look straight at her.

She saw that although Han Li didn't reveal anything on his face, his beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of loneliness. However, he quickly regained his calmness.

"You men really are insatiably greedy. This has nothing to do with your cultivation base." Violet Spirit mumbled and once again fell into silence.

Han Li continued to stare at Violet Spirit and sighed in his heart.

"I've never thought about relying on others before, and I won't in the future either.

I'd better cultivate on my own like you and make a name for myself.

Even though your cultivation base is strong, your enemies aren't weak either. If I follow you, I'll only be a burden to you. It's better for me to stay in the Realm of Evil. The environment here suits me better. "Violet Spirit said after a long silence.

"You really haven't changed. You're still the same as before. What do you plan to do in the future?" Han Li asked with a bitter smile.

Violet Spirit pondered for a moment before replying, "My talent is average and my cultivation is far from being comparable to Brother Han's. However, I feel that the Dao of Puppets is quite suitable for me, so I plan to continue following City Lord Sha Xin and study the art of puppets. In the future, when Fellow Daoist Xie is completely resurrected, I should also leave this place and head to the Realm of Evil to cultivate."

"Since you've already made up your mind, I won't force you. However, please accept these items. They will be of great help to your cultivation in the future."

As Han Li spoke, he took out a few jade slips and copied the cultivation method of the first statue of the Heavenly Fiend Prison Suppression Art as well as two cultivation methods suitable for Violet Spirit. He then handed them over to Violet Spirit.
