Chapter 1048

"How is it, you know this corpse-refining?" Han Li said without turning his head. WM net

"Well, sort of!" After hesitating a moment, Gu Ling replied honestly.

"What do you mean?" Han Li's eyes flickered, but he still turned his head back.

"Before it became a corpse-refining, it was also a spirit beast, and back then we had some acquaintance with it. Its master was also a human cultivator who descended from the Spirit Realm to the mortal realm, but after we were sealed in Mount Kunwu, we never saw it again, and we don't know how it became a corpse-refining." Gu Ling explained.

"So you mean its original form was also a Spirit Realm demon beast?" Han Li's expression moved slightly.

"Correct. Those cultivators who descended from the Spirit Realm to the mortal realm back then could not have too high a cultivation, so the spirit beasts they brought were similarly limited. And we few who descended with them to the mortal realm were only allowed to come after having our original memories erased." Gu Ling sighed.

"Memories erased, you don't remember anything at all?" Han Li's heart jolted, then he felt a bit disappointed, for he had originally wanted to ask Gu Ling about some Spirit Realm matters.

"Besides knowing I came down from the Spirit Realm, I have no memory whatsoever about the Spirit Realm." Gu Ling also revealed a hint of sorrowful expression.

Han Li fell silent, but his mind turned, and he again thought of Silver Moon.

Silver Moon's identity is not simple, she should have some memories of the Spirit Realm! His heart stirred again, but he immediately suppressed this thought, for now is not the time to consider such things, his unconscious gaze swept elsewhere.

After emerging from the barrier, this space has become somewhat strange.

The surroundings are empty and desolate, with not a single person in sight. Not only are the eight spirit rulers originally floating above the palace gone without a trace, but the black wind banner that originally restrained them has also vanished. No wonder they were able to break the restriction so easily.

The ground is everywhere covered with huge pits and numerous ditch-like claw marks several zhang long, as if scratched by some giant beast. Even half of the palace has been completely shattered into ruins, a scene of having undergone an exceptionally fierce battle.

Han Li's divine sense had already swept over the palace ruins, but unfortunately the spirit sense isolation restriction set up inside still remains, so for now he cannot detect anything.

But this also eased his mind, after all the pressure given by the Yuan Cha Sacred Ancestor was truly too great. If he were to face this demon head-on, he would surely not be a match.

However, the only teleportation formation now has people isolated within the space of the black wind banner restriction; to leave this place again requires another method.

His eyes flickering, Han Li began to contemplate strategies for escape.

"Fellow Daoist Han, if you are willing to lend a hand to help me and Xu Xiong, our past grievances with the Tian Lan Holy Palace, I, as the Holy Maiden, can take full responsibility and resolve them, thus settling your enmity with the Tian Lan Grassland." At this moment, Lin Yinping suddenly called out anxiously to Han Li, her voice full of anxiety.

"I have already been pursued by you all for so long, what enmity is there left to resolve? I have no interest in intervening!" Han Li's expression was wooden, and he flatly refused.

"Han Xiong, don't forget, we came to the Great Jin only because of you; if I and Xu Xian Shi were to fall here, do you think the remaining three great xian shi would easily let it go?"

Han Li hearing this, hehe smiled, and glanced at the blood sea.

Lin Yinping was now activating the silver light from the silk handkerchief in her hand, which dazzled the eyes, actually forcing back the killing soul threads a bit, but her complexion turned deathly pale, obviously she had begun using a secret art to stimulate potential, to enhance the power of her treasure.

The youth surnamed Xu, having been ambushed first and then trapped in the blood sea, though the two treasures he drove were not small in power, now they swayed as if about to collapse, and would soon fail.

Conversely, the one in the best condition is the spirit-light peacock flashing with five-colored spiritual light.

This ancient spirit bird, although unable to escape from the purple mist, the lion-headed beast also temporarily could do nothing to it. After all, this vicious bird's most fearsome golden wave attack happens to be restrained by the five-colored spiritual light, no matter how many golden waves strike the spiritual light, they immediately dissipate and vanish.

"Lin Xianzi now is just saying the Tian Hua 'luan' zhuì, I also will not intervene. To speak frankly, if it weren't for the two of you looking like this calamity is inescapable, I would want to take advantage of the fire to loot once. As for those three xian shi, if they really come knocking, Han Mou does not mind exchanging a few divine powers with them." Han Li's expression was calm, unhurried in his reply.

In saying this, he was indeed not speaking falsely.

After slaying the ancient demon with one strike, Han Li now has a rough understanding of his own strength. With several near-incarnate humanoid puppets and the completely obedient Gu Ling cooperating, he could simultaneously face three or four late Nascent Soul cultivators and not be too far behind.

Moreover, the three great xian shi of Tian Lan could not possibly all leave the grassland to come knocking. Unless they truly wanted to sever their own clan's fate. After all, without the great xian shi presiding over the Tian Lan Grassland, if the Muran people learned of this news, I fear the sudden people would in the blink of an eye face extermination.

Having this clear in his heart, Han Li naturally regarded the threat from this Tian Lan Holy Maiden with utter contempt.

The originally somewhat worried white-haired corpse-refining, upon hearing this, immediately relaxed his face, and from his mouth came a burst of strange laughter:

"Fellow Daoist Han is indeed a reasonable person; I have not moved against Han Xiong, so how could he fall for your petty tricks? You two had better obediently surrender."

Han Li's face showed no expression, but upon hearing this he inwardly snorted coldly.

Back when in the barrier, this one transformed into the scattered True Person, using some unknown secret technique, secretly revealed a hint of corpse-refining identity, but was immediately detected by the wailing spirit beast in the pouch. After his startle, he naturally discovered the sound transmission between this demon and the silver-winged night叉.

Relying on his divine sense being slightly stronger than that of late Nascent Soul cultivators, he immediately, without changing expression, secretly listened to a part.

To prevent these two demons from discovering his eavesdropping, he did not dare to forcibly intrude into their divine thoughts, only able to hear a rough outline.

But even this vague part let him know that this white-haired corpse-refining actually planned to join forces with the silver-winged night叉 two demons, after breaking open the barrier, to take advantage of others' agitated emotions and lowest vigilance, and then attack the human cultivators who went out first together with them.

As for whether this person is a sudden person or Han Li's group, to them it makes no difference. Han Li merely deliberately delayed his exit by a step, thus letting the Xu-surnamed youth and Lin Yinping's group fall into great misfortune.

Therefore Han Li naturally would not bear any ill will toward the other party.

Although he had never seen this white-haired corpse-refining before, but having late Nascent Soul cultivation and having grown into such a face, this corpse-refining demon can only be the ten-thousand-year corpse bear of the Myriad Beasts Valley.

Long heard of this demon, who who knows how many tens of thousands of years ago cultivated into a spirit, and in the Great Jin demon race can be considered a renowned figure. And the Myriad Beasts Valley, as one of the great powers in the Great Jin that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Taiyi Gate and the Tianmo Sect, this demon, as deputy valley master, taking human form as a wandering cultivator appearing here, this is indeed somewhat thought-provoking.

And whether this incarnation of the scattered True Person of this demon is truly a wandering cultivator, or was formed after being killed by it, or is fundamentally just this demon taking human cultivator form to walk about, is unknown.

The concealment cultivation method practiced by this demon is truly marvelous and extraordinary, actually even he cannot discern its corpse-refining identity from it. However, this way, its cultivation seems also greatly restricted, otherwise when it initially used that blood blade to sneak attack the black-robed elder of the Yin Luo Sect, it would not have allowed that Nascent Soul to escape so easily.

Han Li gazed at the distant blood sea where the ten-thousand-year corpse bear floated and stood, corpse aura surging to the heavens, expressionless in thought, when suddenly a thread of cold light flashed in his eyes.

Although he had no mind to act to save his former rival, he also would not truly allow the demon's blood blade to easily devour the flesh and blood essence of late Nascent Soul cultivators, then wait idly for this treasure's power to greatly increase, then turn to deal with them. As soon as the Xu-surnamed youth loses his life, that will be the moment he acts to seize the blood blade.

Considering that even if the blood blade transforms its power quickly, there will definitely still be a period of delay in between. This period is precisely the best opportunity for him to seize this treasure!

Such a sinister treasure, naturally it is better to hold it in one's own hands for greater security. Han Li had long since coldly made this decision.

Immediately, without changing expression, Han Li moved his lips slightly a few times.

Beside him, Gu Ling's eyes moved, but his expression remained normal.

"Han Xiong, if you are willing to lend a hand, I intend to bestow upon you the secret of finally maturing the Gold Devouring Worms. This condition should be able to move Fellow Daoist, right?" The Xu-surnamed youth who had been silent and sullen suddenly took a deep breath, then loudly shouted at Han Li.

"Gold Devouring Worms?" Han Li was stunned for a moment, his face showing a strange expression.

"Impossible, the method of finally maturing the Gold Devouring Worms is our Holy Palace's untransmittable secret, how can it be lightly leaked to outsiders!" Lin Yinping upon hearing this, was suddenly startled and objected.

"Life is gone, what's the point of still worrying about an untransmittable secret? Do you really want to be devoured by this blood blade, with no chance of reincarnation? Moreover, if we fall here, the Muran people will take this opportunity to counterattack the grassland; compared to the rise and fall of our tribe, a single secret technique is nothing at all." The Xu-surnamed youth, not waiting for Lin Yinping to finish speaking, interrupted with a face turned iron-blue.

Lin Yinping hearing this, her face turned white as paper, but in the end she did not speak again.

The ten-thousand-year corpse bear, seeing Han Li's face showing a沉吟 expression, immediately felt uneasy.

Immediately this demon also no longer bothered to conserve magic power, both hands formed a seal, and magic power frantically poured into the blood light formed from the blood blade. Instantly the blood light surged to several times its size, suddenly transforming into a huge ghost face, big mouth opening, and it rushed toward the Xu-surnamed youth in the blood sea below, opening wide to devour.

Almost simultaneously, the surrounding blood mist also surged and churned, wave after wave of great blood waves forming a blood-colored vortex, which instantly entangled the Xu-surnamed youth tightly, leaving him no escape.

The Xu-surnamed youth startled, his heart cried out badly, he could only frantically activate the cyan-colored pearl and silver hook two treasures, and fiercely strike the ghost face.

But a flash of blood light in the ghost's mouth, a spray of blood threads shot out, in an instant tightly binding the two treasures, and upon coiling, they were swallowed into the mouth. The Xu-surnamed youth's complexion changed greatly in shock!

The ghost face then again opened its big mouth, fangs bared, a burst of gloomy and ferocious laughter transmitted out, and suddenly lunged toward the now unobstructed lower blood sea.

The Xu-surnamed youth gritted his teeth, and the twin eyes of his Nascent Soul within his body opened wide, preparing to escape his body.
