Chapter 510: Transmission and Conditions

A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, Volumes 3 & 4: Winds of the Outer Seas

"Although Fellow Daoist rendered assistance to Junior Martial Brother Ling, there are still some necessary questions I must ask. These are extraordinary times, so I trust Fellow Daoist understands." The yellow-faced man stared straight in the direction where Ling Yuling had flown away and disappeared for a long time before finally regaining his composure. He glanced at Han Li and spoke in a flat, unenthusiastic tone.

"Fellow Daoist, please ask whatever you wish," Han Li replied without hesitation, his expression unchanged.

"That's good. First, let's discuss your identity. I need to confirm if it is authentic." The yellow-faced cultivator nodded slightly and said calmly.

Seeing this, Han Li offered a slight smile.

"I am an elder of the Myriad Sound Sect. This is my waist token, and this other one is the key to my cave abode in the city. I presume Fellow Daoist can discern their authenticity." Han Li reached into his storage pouch and calmly presented two different tokens to the man.

"Myriad Sound Sect, check if there is an elder of this name," the yellow-faced cultivator ordered brusquely, taking the tokens without turning his head.

The relatively attractive female cultivator standing behind him paused for a moment at the command, then immediately acknowledged it.

She then rummaged through her own storage pouch, finally pulling out a jade slip and examining it with her spiritual sense. After scrutinizing Han Li for a few more moments, she respectfully reported:

"Protector Zhao, there is indeed an Elder Han in the Myriad Sound Sect, and his appearance matches the image perfectly."

"Oh! And both tokens are genuine. It seems your identity is indeed authentic then!" The yellow-faced cultivator nodded expressionlessly upon hearing this.

"All right, the rest of you continue patrolling the vicinity. I'll take this Fellow Daoist to complete the city entry procedures," the yellow-faced cultivator said, tossing the tokens back to Han Li.

"Yes!" the four people behind him responded.

The yellow-faced cultivator said nothing more. He gestured to Han Li and then shot off first in the direction of Star City.

Han Li transformed into a streak of green light and followed closely behind.

Before long, the yellow-faced cultivator led Han Li to the vicinity of Heavenly Star City's high walls, flying above one of the city gates.

Although no one else came forward to question them along the way, Han Li released his spiritual sense for a quick scan. He discovered at least four or five groups of hidden cultivators who had not revealed themselves. While most were at the Foundation Establishment stage, two Core Formation cultivators were also concealed among them.

Han Li's expression remained calm, but his heart secretly tensed. It seemed that after the attack on South Bright Island, security had indeed become extremely strict.

If someone hadn't introduced and guided him, it truly wouldn't have been easy for him to slip into Heavenly Star City.

The city gate appeared somewhat desolate. Apart from more than ten cultivators in white robes, hardly anyone was entering or exiting the city.

Only upon getting closer did Han Li notice that the tall walls and the city gate were currently shimmering with a faint white ethereal glow, as if some defensive formation had been activated.

As soon as the yellow-faced cultivator landed, he unhesitatingly approached an old man who was the only one seated among the white-robed cultivators.

This old man had a short goatee.
