Chapter 1028
"Oh! It's best to have such a place. Let's go. In a while, if we happen to run into my adversaries, don't get entangled in battle; just shake them off quickly." Han Li nodded and put away the puppet.
The two of them drove their escape light and flew toward the hall gate.
With their cultivation, they reached the edge of the Arctic Origin Light in the blink of an eye. The flight-prohibition barrier took effect again, and in order not to waste too much magic power, the two had to lower their escape light and use a light-body technique.
Scanning with his spiritual sense from afar, it seemed no one was guarding outside the Arctic Origin Light. This made Han Li feel pleasantly surprised and quite unexpected.
Greeting Gui Ling, he kept the Origin Essence Shield in one hand and grabbed the Three-Flame Fan in the other, walking out of the Arctic Origin Light without changing his expression.
After scanning vigilantly once more and confirming that no one else was truly lying in ambush, Han Li walked slowly out of the Mount Kunwu Hall.
Outside, it was still quiet, but everything that met his eyes caused Han Li's expression to change slightly.
He saw that on the huge square outside, apart from the two rows of fallen golden-magnetic spirit wood on both sides, the ground was pitted and covered with rubble, as if a fierce battle had taken place, and it did not seem like only two or three people had been involved in the fighting.
Gui Ling walked out from behind, and seeing the situation outside, she was also stunned.
"What happened? Could it be that those people started fighting among themselves!" she asked, feeling a bit puzzled.
"Not necessarily. It's more likely they ran into the first wave of cultivators. Although I don't know the background of that group, since they were able to independently open the Mount Kunwu Mountain seal, their supernatural abilities must be quite significant." Han Li regained his calm and said in a deep voice.
"That's true. When the first batch of people broke the mountain's barrier, I followed them from afar and took a look. There were six or seven of them. But just those whose cultivation was not inferior to mine numbered two." Gui Ling sighed and said.
"Oh, do you still remember what they looked like? As for the previous wave of cultivators, he had only seen a middle-aged man with a square face. This person was actually able to contend against Old Demon Qian and barely protect himself with just one treasure, which shows that this force is not to be trifled with." Han Li's curiosity was piqued, and he couldn't help but ask further.
Once these five demonic treasures appeared, they immediately began spinning incessantly above the Ancient Demon's head.
Hearing this, Han Li felt a bit disappointed. He wanted to find out if the ancient demon was mixed in with the first batch of cultivators, and then find a way to retrieve those two flying swords.
Now that he had subdued Gui Ling and had the humanoid puppet, Han Li was confident that he could contend with the other party, so he didn't need to avoid them as he had before.
"Let's go! With the cultivation of these people, defeating their opponents might not be difficult, but if they want to completely annihilate their opponents, that is not an easy matter. Most likely, they chased them to other places." Han Li's eyes flashed, and he said with a hint of contemplation.
Although he said this, Han Li knew very well that something unusual must have happened. Otherwise, not to mention the Yin Luo Sect cultivators, why would the group of cultivators from the Tianlan Grassland leave so easily?
They had chased him all the way from the grassland to here, so they must have been determined to get him.
"Fellow Daoist Han, I wonder if you intend to jump into the Arctic Yuan Light voluntarily, or if you plan to wait a while for us to use our magic treasures to send you on your way!"
But this also didn't make sense!
If the previous wave of cultivators had the upper hand, why wouldn't they guard the hall gate to wait and snatch the treasures?
His thoughts turned like lightning, but Han Li couldn't think of anything. After rubbing his chin, he simply stopped thinking about it.
No matter what happened, his goal for this trip had been fully achieved. All he needed to do now was to safely escape this great whirlpool.
As for the two flying swords in the ancient demon's hands, he would think of another way after getting out.
After weighing the pros and cons, Han Li made a decision immediately.
"Let's go, Fellow Daoist Gui! Let's go to the hidden place you mentioned first; don't worry about the others. In a few more days, who knows how many more cultivators will swarm in!" Han Li sneered and took the lead, drifting down toward the stone platform.
Gui Ling gave a bitter smile and could only follow Han Li down.
Along the way, one could faintly see many traces of fighting; sword marks and scorched wood were visible everywhere.
These cultivators had indeed chased each other all the way out.
"This is..."
After a huge ravine suddenly appeared in front, Han Li stepped forward, stood on the edge, and after taking a few looks, his brows furrowed tightly.
The huge ravine was definitely caused by a single strike from some kind of sword-type treasure, actually cutting the entire stone staircase in two, over a hundred zhang long and over thirty zhang deep. It was truly chilling to behold!
At the very least, Han Li asked himself that even if he used the Giant Sword Technique, he would not be able to achieve this.
"It seems these cultivators have fought with true fire, even using such powerful supernatural abilities. The battle is likely even more intense than expected." Silver Moon's leisurely voice came from Han Li's mind.
"Perhaps! But what does that have to do with me!" Han Li transmitted his voice indifferently. Then, with a slight tap of his toes on the ground, he drifted directly over the ravine.
Gui Ling followed closely behind.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, Han Li's expression stirred. He turned his head to look at a certain boulder on the side, cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Which fellow Daoist is there? You can come out now!" Han Li's face sank, and he shouted sternly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a mass of black gas shot out from behind the boulder, faintly wrapping a Nascent Soul inside.
"Eh!"
Han Li was a bit surprised, but how could he let the other party slip away under his nose? In any case, it seemed that no matter which path the cultivators on this mountain belonged to, they were all his adversaries, so there was no need to be polite.
Thunder rumbled behind him, and he suddenly disappeared from where he stood. The next moment, following a flash of silver arc, Han Li appeared in front of the black gas.
Hovering in the air, he pressed one hand forward into the void.
With a "Zila" sound, a large green hand manifested out of thin air and reached down to grab it.
The Nascent Soul was greatly alarmed, and the black gas on its body surged, intending to teleport and escape.
This was also because this person had been too severely injured when fighting others earlier. Otherwise, he would have teleported away from the start.
And Han Li, having annihilated the Nascent Souls of cultivators so many times, was already extremely proficient in how to surround a Nascent Soul.
Just as the other party began to cast a spell, a hint of mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Thunder rumbled, and golden light flashed on the five fingers of the green hand. Five thick golden arcs suddenly shot out and instantly exploded, and a large golden net covered the area below.
And almost at the same time, the Nascent Soul's figure blurred, and it crashed into the Divine Devil-Repelling Lightning.
With a loud "Boom," the golden arcs bounced and exploded, shaking away most of the black gas protecting the Nascent Soul.
The Nascent Soul itself also swayed, becoming precarious.
Under such circumstances, the green hand grabbed like lightning, firmly clutching the Nascent Soul in its palm, and flew back to Han Li's side.
Han Li glanced at the Nascent Soul, smiled slightly at the terrified gaze of the other party, and then turned into a green rainbow, shooting down and returning to the ground.
The large hand, restraining the Nascent Soul, followed closely behind and landed beside Han Li.
"Is it this person?" Gui Ling's gaze also swept over the Nascent Soul, revealing a surprised expression.
Although it had no body, the features of this Nascent Soul were clearly one of the two black-robed elders of the Yin Luo Sect. This person didn't know whose poisonous hand he had fallen into, but only his Nascent Soul remained to escape, and he had hidden behind that boulder.
"What does Fellow Daoist Han want? This old man has no grudges with you, and I haven't participated in the pursuit of you at all!" The Nascent Soul's face turned deathly pale, and after the restraint of the large hand loosened slightly, allowing him to speak, he immediately pleaded in a thin voice.
"Hehe, why is Fellow Daoist so panicked? When did Han say I was going to do anything to you? I want to ask you now, what exactly happened outside? Who were you and the people from the Tianlan Grassland fighting with, and why aren't you guarding outside the hall? By the way, have you seen the two women and the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha monster that came out of the hall?" Han Li's expression remained unchanged, and he asked calmly.
Seeing Han Li's pleasant appearance, the Nascent Soul felt slightly relieved and, not daring to provoke him, hurriedly replied:
"Not long after you few went in, the Ye family cultivators suddenly arrived. The Ye family's Great Elder was also among them, and as soon as they saw us, they attacked us immediately. Under the leadership of Fellow Daoist Xu, we had to respond in a hurry. We were barely able to resist, but just then, the Demon-Suppressing Tower suddenly shook, and then most of the mountain peak over there suddenly collapsed. It seemed the entire giant tower sank into the mountain belly, and furthermore..." Speaking of this, the voice of the Nascent Soul hesitated slightly, but under Han Li's sinking gaze, he felt a chill in his heart and immediately continued:
"And a piece of precious light shot out from the Demon-Suppressing Tower, accompanied by astonishing Sanskrit Buddhist sounds. The sound was so loud that even we could hear it clearly. As a result, I don't know who shouted 'Heaven-Shattering Spirit Treasure,' and everyone couldn't care about anything else and fled toward the Demon-Suppressing Tower. The two women from the Hua Yin Sect and the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha monster also saw the strange phenomenon over there when they came out, and they went over together. As for me, I stayed behind specifically to inform the Great Elder about this."
"Heaven-Shattering Spirit Treasure! Is this treasure really appearing? And how was your body destroyed?" Han Li was greatly shocked.
"Whether it is a Heaven-Shattering Spirit Treasure, I don't know. But that strange phenomenon is definitely not something an ordinary treasure could have. And since Fellow Daoist Xu and the Ye family's Great Elder and other late-stage cultivators went over without hesitation, it shouldn't be fake. As for my body, it was ambushed by that scoundrel, the Wandering Immortal True Person. This thief didn't know when he had sneaked near me and suddenly slashed at me with a blood-red long knife. As a result, all the essence blood in my body was completely absorbed by this knife. That demon knife is too terrifying! If I hadn't decisively abandoned my body and teleported away, I'm afraid even my Nascent Soul wouldn't have been able to avoid it." The Nascent Soul said through gritted teeth.
"What kind of knife could be so powerful?" Han Li raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, seemingly a bit skeptical.
"I don't know, I've never seen such a treasure before. However, except for the color being wrong, the shape of this blood knife seems to be seven or eight parts similar to the legendary Demon Dragon Blade! And its power seems somewhat similar, but if it really were the Demon Dragon Blade, how would I have had the chance to escape?" The Nascent Soul's mouth opened and closed silently for a moment before replying with some uncertainty.
Demon Dragon Blade!
Hearing this, Han Li's expression couldn't help but change drastically.
