Chapter 1051

Although I am not afraid of your Tianlan Holy Palace, I truly do not wish to make such a great enemy. As for joining your Holy Palace and imprinting the Holy Beast Mark, just forget it. How would I know whether this so-called Holy Beast Mark has any tricks on it? If your Tianlan Holy Palace stops bothering Han, that will be fine. Of course, if you truly do not know good from bad and insist on clinging on, then do not blame Han for being ruthless and cruel. Han Li stared at the Nascent Soul of the youth surnamed Xu, speaking calmly.

That is natural. With your current abilities, how could our Tianlan Holy Palace go back on its word? Fellow Daoist, could you please release our Holy Maiden first? The youth surnamed Xu, upon hearing this, was overjoyed and hurriedly spoke loudly.

Do not rush, my conditions are not yet finished. Han Li snorted coldly and spoke without good grace.

What other conditions do you have, Brother Han? Please speak them out. The youth surnamed Xu was startled, then his heart tightened.

I will return the Holy Beast's avatar to you, but it cannot be done immediately; it will probably take some years. Rest assured, I can promise you that I will not harm the life of this beast. Han Li's face revealed a hint of strangeness.

Unable to return the Holy Beast's avatar immediately? This… this is not easy to handle. Upon hearing this, the youth surnamed Xu hesitated for a moment.

This is only one condition; the second is, as a guarantee that you will not regret afterward, I wish to place some restrictions on you and this Holy Maiden's Nascent Soul. Rest assured, it is not that kind of divine-binding technique. At our cultivation level, such techniques would have little effect. However, I have fortunately obtained the method to refine the ancient secret art 'Chidin Divine Thunder'. You only need to let the Nascent Soul swallow a pellet containing my divine sense and this thunder. That will suffice. Han Li ignored the expression of the youth surnamed Xu and spoke leisurely.

'Chidin True Thunder, this is absolutely impossible!' The youth surnamed Xu's heart trembled, and without thinking, he shouted loudly.

If you are unwilling, I will erase you both from this world, then find an opportunity to run to the Tianlan Grassland, and when the three Great Immortal Masters are alone, I will slaughter them one by one. Then I will return to Tiannan and inform the Muran people. I think the Muran people will be very happy to return to the grassland. By then, do not say whether the Tianlan Holy Palace can still exist, even whether the Sudden Tribe can remain in this world will be two matters. Han Li spoke slowly and deliberately.

Do you dare to do this? Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul of the youth surnamed Xu felt a chill rise from behind, and he cried out in extreme shock and anger.

Why would I not dare? Earlier, you said joining the Holy Palace and imprinting the Holy Beast Mark was merely an attempt to bind Han Li's hands and feet. Wanting to bypass this mark and find other ways to deal with me is not just one or two methods. Moreover, Han Li has never had the habit of being controlled by others. Everything I have can only be grasped by myself. If you are unwilling to be implanted with the Chidin True Thunder, I cannot possibly let this good opportunity slip away. Only by letting you completely vanish from this world will it do. Well, I will give you one last chance: when I bend my five fingers, if you have not spoken your agreement, I will take it as your refusal and act immediately. One! Han Li had no intention of lingering, slightly raised one palm, retracted his thumb, and spoke sternly.

How do I know that after implanting the true thunder, you will not take the opportunity to deal with us? The youth surnamed Xu said, somewhat flustered but still unwilling to give up easily.

I now wish to kill you; why would I need to go through all this trouble? Han Li coldly snorted, spat out the word 'two' from his mouth, and bent down another finger.

But… the Nascent Soul stood on the peacock's head, muttering nonstop, while his eyes rolled around, seemingly looking for a chance to escape.

But at some unknown time, Gu Ling had already arrived at the other side of the Spirit-Heart Kong Que, glaring at the Nascent Soul with unfriendly eyes.

The youth surnamed Xu's heart suddenly sank.

With the three of them simultaneously locking onto him, for him to try to escape with his Nascent Soul body would be nothing but a foolish fantasy.

'Four'

In the blink of an eye, Han Li bent down his fourth finger, leaving only the little finger on his palm.

Almost at the same time, Gu Ling and the humanoid puppet no longer concealed their soaring aura, and astonishing spiritual pressure began to press toward the Spirit-Heart Kong Que.

With a wave of his hand, that silver axe appeared in Gu Ling's hand, while the humanoid puppet's thunder-fire bow blazed with red light, and the golden Lei Zhu small arrows on the bow flickered with emerald light, firmly aimed at the distant Spirit-Heart Kong Que.

As for Han Li, his other hand turned over expressionlessly, spiritual light flashed, and the three-flame fan directly appeared. A gentle sway caused the runes on the fan surface to surge and roll, three-colored light radiated brightly, and it began to emit a clear phoenix cry.

The youth surnamed Xu, hiding within the five-colored spiritual light, saw this, and his Nascent Soul's face instantly lost all color, but his mouth remained tightly shut.

Han Li's eyes flashed with cold light like a blade, his lips moved, and the word 'five' was about to leave his mouth.

'Alright, Xu Han Mou will let you place the restriction on the Nascent Soul!' The youth surnamed Xu finally saw the killing intent on Han Li's face and could only grit his teeth and say this.

Upon hearing this, Han Li's eyes flickered, he nodded slightly, pinched a seal with one hand, and transmitted an ancient incantation from his mouth.

After a while, his face turned white, and from between his eyebrows he squeezed out a white light cluster the size of a bean, seemingly still wrapping something, which floated gently toward the Nascent Soul of the youth surnamed Xu.

The three-flame fan in his other hand continued to hum without cease; Han Li did not withdraw his magic power in the slightest. Obviously, to prevent the youth surnamed Xu from taking advantage, he deliberately used it to guard against the other party.

Gu Ling and the humanoid puppet likewise did not relax; even in the youth surnamed Xu's perception, their aura became slightly stronger, firmly locking onto the Nascent Soul's location, leaving no opening.

The youth surnamed Xu secretly sighed, greatly wary, and glanced twice at the white light cluster. He saw that the outside was misty white, while inside faintly flashed five-colored spiritual light—exactly the appearance of the Chidin True Thunder as rumored in ancient times, and it should not be wrong.

The Chidin True Thunder arrived in an instant, but was blocked outside by the five-colored spiritual light cover. After hesitating slightly upon meeting Han Li's icy, piercing gaze, the youth surnamed Xu could only helplessly let the white light cluster enter the spiritual light.

As a result, after the white light flashed, the light cluster directly entered the Nascent Soul and vanished without a trace.

The youth surnamed Xu hurriedly used his divine sense to carefully check the condition of his Nascent Soul.

But the result showed absolutely no abnormality; that Chidin True Thunder seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Seeing this, the youth surnamed Xu not only did not feel relieved, but became increasingly alarmed.

It is rumored that this Chidin True Thunder is formed by the condensation of a cultivator's divine sense, and can be gathered and dispersed invisibly. This is indeed true.

Thus, how will he in the future find a way to dispel it?

At this moment, Han Li spoke lightly:

'Fellow Daoist, do not harbor the idea of forcibly removing it. This ancient secret art cannot be dispelled merely by overwhelming magic power. As long as Fellow Daoist remains honest and upright, Han Li naturally will not activate this restriction. Otherwise, if it were to trigger, do not blame Han Li for not giving prior warning.'

Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul of the youth surnamed Xu naturally turned extremely grim in complexion.

Han Li turned his head to look at the dazed and unconscious Tianlan Holy Maiden, frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, then still shook his head and similarly performed the same method, sending another Chidin Divine Thunder into this maiden's Nascent Soul.

Poor this maiden, still not awake, was thus muddled and implanted with the restriction by Han Li.

'You do not kill us, but do you intend to use this restriction to forever threaten and control us two?' The youth surnamed Xu again used his divine sense to search thoroughly within the Nascent Soul, found nothing, and resentfully said this.

'Threaten you? Even if so. But rest assured, as long as you obey me obediently within Mount Kunwu, lend me a hand, upon leaving this mountain, you will each go your separate ways; you will still be elders and Holy Maiden of the Tianlan Holy Palace, and I will still return to Tiannan to continue my secluded cultivation. As for this Chidin True Thunder, after three or four hundred years, it will also become ineffective.' Han Li replied lightly.

'Three or four hundred years!' The youth surnamed Xu was utterly speechless.

'Alright. We have lingered here long enough; it is time to act.' Han Li glanced sideways at the still dazed Lin Yinping, flicked his sleeve lightly toward her, and a piece of green霞 flew over and covered her.

Upon being covered by the green霞, this maiden's eyelids twitched a few times, and she slowly opened her beautiful eyes. But just then she clearly saw Han Li beside her, immediately startled, without thinking, her body swayed, and she appeared several zhang away, and at once spat out a mouthful of silver-colored flying sword.

'Lin Daoist, please wait!' The Nascent Soul of the youth surnamed Xu naturally would not allow Lin Yinping to act rashly, hurriedly shouted to stop her, and simultaneously moved his lips to transmit sound swiftly.

Han Li did not obstruct, merely stood with hands behind his back, expressionless.

Gu Ling then flew back to Han Li's side, and the humanoid puppet, upon a thought from Han Li's divine sense, once again concealed and disappeared.

And in that instant, just as the Tianlan Holy Maiden seemed to have realized she had been implanted with the Chidin True Thunder restriction, her jade-like complexion suddenly lost color, and her eyes could not conceal panic.

Han Li saw this, his eyes flickered a few times, and just as he was about to speak, suddenly a booming sound came, and the entire space trembled violently.

At the moment Han Li was startled, a thick sword qi suddenly burst out from the barrier where they had been trapped, pierced through, then swayed slightly up and down, and instantly a hole about a zhang in size appeared. Then two startling rainbows shot out from within; after one turned, it fell near Han Li and the others, revealing a Confucian scholar and two people.

'Senior Brother Qimiao!' Lin Yinping, upon seeing the black-robed scholar among them, exclaimed in surprise, and her face actually showed a hint of joy.

'Eh! So it is you. How did Fairy Lin also come to this place?' That black-robed scholar had the appearance of a hooked nose, looked gloomy and deep, and upon seeing Lin Yinping here, said somewhat unexpectedly.

This person is actually the Elder Qimiao True Person of the Tianmo Sect. Because the Tianmo Sect and the Tianlan Holy Palace similarly have some mutual interests in transactions, this old demon and Lin Yinping, as the Holy Maiden of the Tianlan Holy Palace, also have some acquaintance. Originally, that wonderful sound treasure mirror capable of seeing through illusions and transformations was lent by this old demon to this maiden for use.

And beside him, that white-haired, red-faced old Daoist with immortal bones and Daoist aura, naturally is Xuan Qingzi of the Taiyi Sect. The old Daoist, upon seeing this maiden, stepped forward with a smiling gaze to greet her, but his eyes swept toward Han Li and the others, gradually revealing a look of surprise.

'Fairy Lin, what kind of people are these two Daoists? Your spirit beast is here, Fellow Daoist Xu, why is Fellow Daoist Xu himself not present?' The old Daoist's smile faded, he seemed somewhat doubtful, and asked this.
