Chapter 1016: I'll be Back Soon
All of a sudden, Han Li pointed at a certain spot on the map as he asked, "This should be an unopened water abode, right?"
"That's right, but I should advise you not to attempt to access this water abode," the elderly man replied with a smile.
"Why is that?" Han Li asked.
"Pardon me for being frank, but you're most likely not going to have much luck with that water abode. There have been many cultivators of cultivation bases as lofty as the late-Golden Immortal Stage that have tried to access this water abode, but just the restriction on its gates alone was enough to keep out all of them.
“There were two of them who attempted to breach the restriction by force, only to incur backlash from the restriction, and one of them was severely wounded, while the other was killed on the spot," the elderly man sighed.
"I see. Thank you for looking out for me, but I have a decent understanding of restrictions and arrays, so even if I can't open the water abode, I think I'll be able to at least ensure self-preservation," Han Li replied.
The elderly man could see that Han Li had made up his mind, so he said, "In that case, I wish you the best of luck. Once you issue the payment, I'll send someone to take you there."
From his perspective, he had completed his obligation by issuing that warning to Han Li, and if he were to say anything further, then that would only rouse suspicions.
After the payment was issued, the elderly man called over a red-robed young woman, then issued her some instructions before sending her to take Han Li to the lake.
The young woman wasn't particularly beautiful, but there were a couple of dimples on her round face, making it appear as if she were constantly smiling, so she was certainly very pleasant to look at.
The woman led Han Li and Weeping Soul down Comb Grate Mountain, then made her way down a small path toward the lake.
The young woman seemed to have a very bubbly personality, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why did you pick out Ill Omen Manor, esteemed guest? You don't seem like a foolish person."
