Ready

71: Don’t leave any one behind!

Facing his Senior Brother's Killing Intent, which was almost solidifying into substance, Han Li remained completely oblivious.

He even shrank his neck back, raised both hands, and put on an innocent and frightened expression.

"Hey, hey, hey, Great Master, don't get excited!"

"I'm just an anti-fraud Streamer, occupational hazard, just an occupational hazard!"

"Think about it, we're in this remote wilderness. What if we encounter a swindler who harvests the kidneys of all sixteen of us and sells them? Who would we complain to? I have to be responsible for my classmates and the family members in my live stream, right?"

He spoke with righteous indignation, yet also with a touch of a common Mortal's grievance and caution.

The bullet comments in the live stream instantly picked up pace.

【The Streamer is right! When you're out and about, you must be wary of others!】

【This Daoist is getting agitated! He definitely has a problem! Look at his expression, he looks like he wants to eat people!】

【Support the Streamer! He must show his credentials! Otherwise, it's a black den!】

Liu Lian, behind Han Li, desperately covered his mouth with his hand, his shoulders shaking, his face red from holding back laughter.

He quietly nudged Fang Yuan next to him.

"Old Fang, this guy can really act."

Fang Yuan did not respond to his teasing; his attention was not on the farce unfolding before him at all. He lowered his head slightly, as if sensing something.

"Below... something's not right."

Fang Yuan lowered his voice, a hint of solemnity in his words.

"Underground, it's full of evil Qi, so dense it can't be dispelled. It's definitely a demon's lair."

Just then, Xie Wangsheng's calm, unperturbed voice transmission echoed simultaneously in the minds of all the students.

"Stay calm, cooperate with Han Li, and do not expose yourselves."

"Listen for my command. Centered on me, quietly adjust your positions according to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams."

"Prepare the Spirit-Binding Earth Array."

Everyone's hearts tightened, but on the surface, they maintained the appearance of curious university students, though their feet had already begun to move in extremely subtle ways.

Above the main hall, Daoist name finally spoke.

He raised a hand to stop his Killing Intent-filled Disciple, and the gentle smile reappeared on his face.

"Heh heh, this young friend worries too much."

"This humble Daoist is a Loose Cultivator from the mountains, long detached from worldly affairs, single-mindedly pursuing the Dao. Naturally, I do not possess the mundane credentials of the Daoist sects."

"Oh—"

Han Li immediately put on an expression of sudden realization, then abruptly turned his head towards the live stream camera, shouting in an excited tone, as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Family members! Family members, did you hear that!"

"A Loose Cultivator! Living in seclusion in the mountains, not part of any Daoist sect—this is a true Master from beyond the mundane world!"

"Those with licenses are just punching in and out for work! This Great Master, he's treating cultivation as a career! Vision! This is vision!"

He gave Daoist name a thumbs-up, his face full of admiration.

"Great Master, I understand! Don't worry, I will definitely promote you well! I'll let the whole country know that on Qingxia Mountain, there is a True God-like immortal like you who is unmoved by fame and fortune, dedicated to arduous cultivation!"

This flattery made Daoist name feel utterly comfortable.

Stroking his beard, he looked at Han Li's expression with increasing satisfaction.

This foolish little Streamer was a good tool.

He could use his live stream to attract more ignorant Mortals to 'worship.' Then, wouldn't the Materials for the [Great Human Origin Pill] he was refining be endless?

He could even consider sparing this boy's life and making him his mouthpiece.

The more Daoist name thought about it, the more brilliant he found the plan, and the smile on his face became a few shades more genuine.

However, the next second.

All expression on Han Li's face instantly vanished.

He lowered his raised thumb; the fervent admirer from before transformed into an emotionless judge.

"Alright."

He uttered two words faintly.

"Stop acting."

He re-aimed his phone camera at Daoist name's stunned face and, addressing all the viewers in the live stream, announced word by word.

"Family members, I can now be one hundred percent certain."

"This so-called 'Master from beyond the mundane world' before us is a complete and utter swindler."

Daoist name and the seven Disciples behind him froze, their smiles stiff.

The air in the great hall seemed to solidify at this moment.

Han Li completely ignored them and continued his analysis.

"You said you're a Loose Cultivator from the mountains, right? You said you've been cultivating arduously in these deep mountains for decades, right?"

He extended his finger, pointing at the gray Daoist robe on Daoist name.

"Then can you explain why your Daoist robe is cleaner than the T-shirt I just bought online?"

"Not a single wrinkle, not even a speck of mud can be found!"

"Great Master, when you cultivate in the mountains, do you have a fully automatic drum washing machine and a garment steamer serving you every day? Or is it that your Daoist magic is already so profound that it can automatically remove dust?"

These words were piercing.

The bullet comments in the live stream, after a brief silence, completely erupted.

【Holy crap! The Streamer is a detail king!】

【Hahahaha! Right! Decades in the mountains, and the clothes are like new, isn't that ridiculous!】

【Case closed! This old man is definitely a swindler!】

Daoist name was stunned by these questions.

He looked down at his spotless Daoist robe; this was indeed his biggest oversight.

But instead of getting angry, he looked at Han Li with a half-smile and slowly spoke.

"Heh heh, interesting."

"It seems that next time I 'act,' I really need to pay attention to these details."

He actually admitted it!

He actually admitted he was "acting" with a cat-and-mouse demeanor!

Han Li immediately seized this fatal flaw, sharply raised his voice, and roared at the live stream.

"Did you hear that!"

"Did all the family members hear that!"

"He said it himself! 'Acting'! He personally admitted he was putting on a show!"

"It's confirmed! It's absolutely confirmed now! An officially certified swindler!"

In the live stream, mocking bullet comments flooded in.

【Hahahahahahaha! This swindler's intelligence is touching! He sold himself out!】

【I've never seen such a straightforward swindler! I'm dying of laughter!】

【Streamer is awesome! Directly silenced the swindler!】

Daoist name watched the scrolling mockery on the phone screen, and the smile on his face finally, little by little, disappeared.

A monstrous rage of being fooled and humiliated instantly overwhelmed his century-long rationality.

The disguise was torn to shreds.

The gentle, immortal-like demeanor vanished, replaced by a ferocious and violent malevolence that sought to devour people!

"You!"

"Are!"

"Seeking!"

"Death!"

He squeezed out three words through gritted teeth, and the temperature of the entire great hall plummeted.

The next moment, he suddenly stood up, his withered finger pointing at Han Li and his group, letting out an inhuman roar.

"What are you standing around for!"

"Seize them all for me!"

"Refine them!"

"Not a single one shall be left!"
