Chapter 1140: Exposed
"The situation isn't looking good here, Fellow Daoist Han, I think we should get out of here righ away," Lan Yan urged through voice transmission.
Han Li had planted an extremely powerful restriction in her consciousness, so if he were killed, then she would also meet her demise.
Han Li was also struck by the urge to leave Golden Void City right away upon seeing all of this, but after taking a moment to assess the situation, he immediately regained his composure, and he quickly decided on a course of action.
"There's no need to panic, just act natural," he replied through voice transmission, and he began to look up at the missions wall while feigning the same look of excitement as what was displayed on the faces of everyone around him.
Lan Yan faltered slightly upon seeing this, and she was also instilled with a sense of calmness and reassurance, as if there were some type of soothing quality to Han Li's words.
Han Li began walking back and forth in front of the missions wall and the Immortal Slaying List, just like many people around him were doing.
Both he and Lan Yan had adopted disguises using Reincarnation Palace masks, so even a Great Encompassment cultivator wouldn't be able to see through them unless they were paying particularly close attention.
Furthermore, they had only displayed a fleeting instant of alarm upon seeing Han Li's new position on the Immortal Slaying List, so no one would've been able to notice their reaction unless they had been looking closely at the two of them at the exact right instant.
They had only just arrived in Golden Void City, and they hadn't done anything to draw attention to themselves, so there shouldn't have been anyone keeping an eye on them.
What Han Li had failed to anticipate was that there really was someone intently scrutinizing him and Lan Yan from deep within the Immortal Outlet, and it was none other than the round-faced man from the golden pagoda.
I'm certain that those two are suspicious! That man didn't display any reaction earlier, but there was a momentary ripple in his spiritual sense. No one else noticed that, but it was as clear as day to my Soul Searching Eyes! It's a pity that I wasn't able to arrive in time to see their initial reaction to the Immortal Slaying List. Otherwise, I would be able to confirm my suspicions with a greater degree of certainty.
