The person who appeared before everyone was a young man with ordinary appearance and dark skin.
The young man was wearing a gray shirt that was stained with a lot of white powder, and his clothes were also torn.
His breathing was unstable, as if he had just experienced a battle.
Only his eyes were quite bright, showing alertness.
Seeing everyone's look, he seemed to want to retreat, but when he touched the table and chairs behind him, he stopped silently, squinted his eyes, and looked around vigilantly.
Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but look at Zhang Xiaofan, both of them showing surprise.
With such vigilance, could it be that he is often plotted against? Xiaotian Dog, who was chatting with Shi Potian, also looked at him with interest and thought that this newcomer was a bit interesting.
Shi Potian didn't pay attention to these. He was still thinking about the mantra that Xiaotian Dog had just taught him.
He planned to write it down and practice it when he got back.
This is a place for drinking and chatting, not for him to practice martial arts.
This is what Xiaotian Dog told him.
Originally, Xiaotian Dog was very dissatisfied with his nickname "Dog Brother".
He is the real dog, and he should be called Dog Brother.
When he found the opportunity to argue with Shi Potian today, he discovered that he got along very well with him.
The man and the dog hit it off right away and almost became brothers.
Although they did not become sworn brothers, Xiaotian Dog had long forgotten the idea of finding trouble with him and instead began to guide his new friend in his practice.
He is quite powerful, and having followed Yang Jian in the Heavenly Palace for so many years, he has extraordinary knowledge. Any little information he casually reveals would be enough for ordinary people to benefit from.
After taking a look at the newcomer, Roaring Sky Dog looked away.
He still feels closer to his brother Shi Potian.
"Haha, what are you afraid of? We won't eat people!" Tony laughed as he looked at the newcomers.
After being strengthened by Captain Marvel's gene wine, his physique is no different from that of a god, and his perception is exceptionally sharp.
Even though the tavern would greatly weaken the perception of all guests, he could still detect the faint breath fluctuations in the newcomer's body.
According to his observation, the other party was even worse than Dugu Qiubai who had come to the tavern earlier.
Not worth mentioning! Li Xiaoyao smiled at the newcomer and said, "Everyone who can come to the tavern is a friend. Since this is your first visit, why not sit down and have a drink with me?"
He pointed to the seat next to him.
A hint of hesitation flashed across the young man's face, but he finally clasped his fists, said thank you, and sat down next to them.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the young man in front of him and introduced himself: "I'm Zhang Xiaofan, this is Li Xiaoyao..."
He introduced the three people sitting at the same table and asked, "What's your name, brother?"
He will not underestimate the opponent just because of his weakness.
When I joined Qingyun Sect, I was just an ordinary person.
Judging from his miserable appearance, he must have encountered some trouble.
If the other party doesn't mind, he would be happy to help them settle it.
Helping each other in the tavern is much more interesting than being a hero in the outside world.
After sitting in front of a few people, the young man seemed to be much more calm.
He clasped his fists and said, "I am Han Li."
After the initial uneasiness, Han Li had figured it out.
The luxurious style of this place is completely different from any other place he has ever seen. The guests who come and go are extraordinary, and the aroma of wine makes his lips salivate. This is definitely not an ordinary place.
Combining those images in his mind, he realized that he had hit the jackpot and came to a fairyland! Putting down his hand, Han Li observed the people around him calmly.
Li Xiaoyao was handsome and had a free and easy manner. His elegant and graceful temperament made him secretly envious.
Zhang Xiaofan has a friendly attitude, but there is a sharp edge in him that is difficult to conceal.
As for Tony...
"They look like the savages from the legendary faraway land, but their clothes and temperament are very unusual. It's true that we can't underestimate anyone!"
Han Li was pondering secretly when he inadvertently saw Zhu Bajie, who was holding a bear paw and gnawing on it, boasting to Chenxiang and Nezha with oil in his mouth.
His eyes narrowed and he almost jumped up in shock.
Monster...monster? Noticing the change in his expression, Li Xiaoyao followed his gaze.
After seeing Zhu Bajie and the others, Li Xiaoyao nodded, then turned around and said, "The fat guy is Zhu Bajie. He was the Marshal of the Heavenly Palace in his previous life. He got into trouble because of drunkenness, and was demoted to the mortal world and became a pig demon. In the end, he achieved enlightenment and is now the Altar Purifier of the Western Heaven Buddhist Sect!"
"Heaven?" Han Li asked subconsciously.
"You haven't heard of it?" Li Xiaoyao and Zhang Xiaofan's eyes lit up.
As they come to the pub more and more, they get to know their guests better and better.
The world backgrounds of most of the guests are very similar.
Heaven, Hell...
The Emperor of Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Emperor Taizu of Song...
Including Tony in front of him, these things exist in the history and legends of the world he lives in, but those are all in the East, while he is in the West.
Although the two of them had a good relationship with Ye Fan and others and were quite popular in the tavern, they couldn't help but feel regretful occasionally for not being able to meet another "fellow countryman".
Han Li looked at the two people who suddenly became interested and became hesitant: "It seems... maybe... you have heard of it?"
He lives in a remote corner and has very little experience.
"Then have you ever heard of Pangu, Huangdi, and Nuwa?" Li Xiaoyao asked.
Han Li shook his head.
He had never heard of this.
"Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of Han...what about them?" Zhang Xiaofan asked.
Han Li was at a loss: "Are they famous?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting two tables away, glanced over here and shook his head secretly.
"Which country or region are you from?" Tony also became interested.
Han Li hesitated and did not speak immediately.
Li Xiaoyao smiled and took the lead in telling his origins.
Han Li was secretly surprised when he heard that his world consisted of gods, demons and other realms, while he was in the mortal world, learning skills and slaying demons in Mount Shu.
Zhang Xiaofan also talked about the Qingyun Sect where he used to be, and also mentioned the Heavenly Book and other things.
"The place I'm at is called Earth, but I'm currently in the Celestial Being Galaxy in the universe..." Tony continued, "Where are you from, Brother Han?"
Even though he knew from the earlier invitation information that most of the guests came from different worlds, Han Li was still quite surprised at this moment.
Especially when they introduced themselves, they also casually demonstrated their own skills, such as the sharp sword energy that circled around Zhang Xiaofan...
Han Li clenched his fists tightly and said in a deep voice: "I am from Tiannan Yue State, Qingniu Town Wuligou in Jingzhou, and now I am studying martial arts in Qixuan Sect."
"Have you ever heard of Shushan?" Li Xiaoyao asked.
Han Li shook his head.
"What about Qingyun Sect? Or Ghost Sect?" Zhang Xiaofan also said.
Han Li also shook his head.
Seeing the disappointment on their faces, he hurriedly said, "Our world is vast and boundless, and my knowledge is really limited. Maybe I can see it in the future."
Tony stroked his chin and said, "Maybe it's not that your world is too big, but that you are too weak?"
"That's right." Han Li nodded.
In the past, he had heard a lot about the outside world from Doctor Mo.
If I can get rid of Doctor Mo, I can go out for a walk.
Li Xiaoyao and Zhang Xiaofan were secretly disappointed that they failed to get the answer they wanted from Han Li.
Suddenly, they saw two more people appear, and they waved to them hurriedly.
The two people were Bai Xiaofei and Xiao Yan who came together.
His strength increased dramatically, and after being tempered by a series of events, he became a little too busy to rest.
This time he was going with Xiao Yan to explore a secret place in the universe.
The two men came over and looked at Han Li.
This face looked particularly unfamiliar.
With Li Xiaoyao's introduction, Han Li quickly greeted the two of them.
Li Xiaoyao took out two more wine glasses and distributed the wine in the gourd to everyone.
He did not buy these wines from the tavern, but stole them from Situ Zhong's private collection.
Since becoming the "buyer" in the tavern, Situ Zhong has traveled around the world looking for ingredients and has also found a lot of fine wines.
This gourd of fruit wine is one of the most delicious ones in his collection.
Several people started chatting.
After talking about what Bai Xiaofei and Xiao Yan had gained in the secret realm, everyone's topic shifted to Han Li.
From their conversation, Han Li had already figured out their identities. They were obviously big shots that he could never reach.
He was flattered that several people addressed him as a brother.
"Looking at Brother Han's appearance, is he encountering a strong enemy?" Zhang Xiaofan suddenly asked.
Han Li smiled bitterly.
He told his story.
When they heard him talk about how he came from a poor family, joined the Qixuan Sect, and became a disciple of Doctor Mo, but the other party had ulterior motives and even attacked him brazenly today, everyone showed sympathy.
"Your master is really not worthy of being a human being!" Li Xiaoyao said angrily.
Situ Zhong hated trouble, but he was always nice to him, teaching him everything he knew. Even when he had gained something outside, he would often give him advice.
"This kind of person is not worthy of being a master!" Zhang Xiaofan also said.
He joined the Qingyun Sect. Although his master was quite cold to him at first, he was actually quite kind to him. At least he didn't think of harming him.
Xiao Yan just shook his head and said nothing.
The relationship between Yao Lao and him is almost like that of father and son.
Han Li smiled bitterly: "He and I are only master and disciple in name only. He has never regarded me as a disciple. It's just that the iron slave under his command is extremely powerful. If I hadn't been invited to hide in the tavern at the critical moment, I'm afraid my life would be over!"
"That may not be the case."
A voice suddenly came.
"Sir!" Tony was the first to stand up, with an eager smile on his face.
The others also stood up and saluted.
When Han Li saw the figure that appeared in front of him, his expression was dazed for a moment.
He hurriedly followed suit and saluted, feeling very excited.
Su Luo was originally strolling outside.
The sudden increase in strength in a short period of time made him feel a little dizzy.
Now that his strength has stagnated, he tries to blend in with ordinary people in order to hone his mind.
When he came back today, he happened to see Han Li appear.
He was quite interested in the rumored old demon Han.
Especially when you see that this guy is still immature.
From the earlier conversation among them, he had already learned about Han Li's recent situation and was very interested in giving him some advice.
Su Luo waved his hand, signaling everyone not to worry about it.
He randomly found an empty seat and sat down.
Xiao Longnu has already brought the hot tea.
The tea leaves come from an ancient tea tree in heaven, and every leaf is priceless.
Su Luo took the tea and took a sip, then looked at Han Li who was looking at him intently, and Li Xiaoyao and others who looked curious.
Some old customers in the tavern knew that Su Luo's revelation of their past and future had nothing to do with their own strength, but more to do with their mood.
Therefore, they did not think highly of Han Li, but just felt that this black-faced young man was very lucky.
"Please explain clearly, sir." Han Li pleaded, a little impatient.
"Do you know the identity of that iron slave?" Su Luo asked back.
Han Li hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke out his guess: "He is... Zhang Tie?"
Su Luo nodded: "Yes."
Seeing Han Li's expression change slightly, he continued, "Mo Juren asked Zhang Tie to practice the Iron Armor Skill in order to use his body as an experiment to verify what Yu Zitong taught him..."
"Zhang Tie has now been turned into a puppet by him..."
Han Li's expression changed repeatedly.
He had only guessed before.
Zhang Tie has always had a good relationship with him.
The two of them became disciples of Doctor Mo, also known as Mo Juren.
The other party is of great build, fearless of hardship, and has made rapid progress in his cultivation.
The appearance of Tie Nu was too strange, as it happened right after Zhang Tie disappeared, which was why he had such suspicion.
After hearing this affirmative answer from Su Luo, he couldn't help feeling a little chill in his heart, with both the sadness of the rabbit's death and the fear of Doctor Mo.
But he still had a question.
"Sir, who is Yu Zitong?" he asked curiously.
Su Luo said: "Yu Zitong is the real master of the Changchun Kungfu you practiced, and he is also the culprit who caused the current situation."
He took a sip of tea and slowly told the story between Yu Zitong and Doctor Mo.
Doctor Mo is an excellent martial artist and is considered a top-notch expert in the martial arts world, but compared to Yu Zitong, a cultivator of immortality, he is nothing.
In his prime, Yu Zitong could easily crush a martial arts master like Doctor Mo with just one finger.
However, Yu Zitong, who was born into a family of immortal cultivators, had limited talent. After his strength reached a bottleneck, he went out into the mortal world to look for opportunities.
After enjoying the prosperity of the human world for a while, he came across a precious medicine in a medicine shop, but was unfortunately targeted by another cultivator at the same time.
After he snatched it at a high price, the immortal cultivator followed and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.
He escaped with serious injuries and met Dr. Mo.
He simply looked down upon the other party, so even though he was seriously injured, he showed off his identity without any precautions, but was instead targeted by the extremely cunning Doctor Mo.
Through a series of means, Dr. Mo successfully killed it, but was also cursed by it and aged rapidly.
When Yu Zitong felt that the soul attached to Doctor Mo was gradually being assimilated by him, he had to expose himself.
The two reached an agreement that Yu Zitong would help him find a person with spiritual roots to take over another body, and then Doctor Mo would help him find a new body.
Because of the rules of possession, the person whose body is possessed must be a cultivator. That's why Doctor Mo used the "Eternal Spring Skill" to experiment and targeted Han Li, who possessed spiritual roots.
"He is paying attention to your progress in cultivation and requires you to cultivate to the fourth level because the strength of the soul at this stage can be suppressed by him, so that it will not be too weak or too strong." Su Luo said, "Of course, this is a trick Yu Zitong used to deceive Mo Juren."
"In fact, at this level of cultivation, the strength of your two souls is comparable. If you really try to take over other people's bodies, both of you will suffer losses!" he said.
Tony couldn't help but interrupt, "So Yu Zitong plans to take advantage of the situation where both of them are losing and reap the benefits?"
"Yes," Su Luo smiled, "This is exactly his plan!"
For a moment, everyone looked at Han Li with more sympathy.
It turns out that his so-called master has been training puppets for him since the beginning! And how come all these so-called immortal cultivators are so shady? Could it be that the place where this guy lives is the legendary demon world?
Instead, Han Li's expression became strange.
