Chapter 1065: Escape

However, Han Li only swept a glance over these two and then his gaze fell on the altar in the distance, his face showing a bit of nervousness. (Net)

The altar, which was more than a hundred zhang high, was now only fifty or sixty zhang high. The upper part seemed to have been slashed away by a giant blade, leaving only half.

And near the altar were two objects and one person floating.

One person was Xiang Xiang Zhili, who was protected by a purple light shield. The originally piercing shield was now crumbling, as if it would collapse with a single blow.

Xiang Xiang Zhili himself was sweating profusely, his

And near the altar floated two objects and one person.

One person was Xiang Xiang Zhili, whose entire body was protected within a purple light shield; the originally dazzling protective shield was now teetering, as if it would collapse at a single blow.

Xiang Xiang Zhili himself was sweating profusely, his face pale, as if he had just experienced some intense battle.

Of the two objects, one was the Anti-Star Plate with a diameter of a foot; this object was spinning in the air, its body wrapped in a mass of gelatinous golden light, appearing mysterious and unfathomable. The other object was suspended directly above the altar, a small half-section of something pitch-black. Its strange shape made Han Li dazed, but he immediately recognized it; it was actually the Black Wind Flag with only a small half-section left.

Most of this spiritual treasure had disappeared without a trace in the previous self-detonation. And the remaining part, still flashing with black light, didn't seem to have been completely destroyed.

Han Li scanned his surroundings and didn't see the figures of Linglong and the black wolf, and just as he was feeling very surprised, the Anti-Star Plate moved, spraying a stream of golden light from its center.

A graceful figure appeared along with this golden light, and then stared coldly at the Black Wind Flag; it was Linglong.

And almost at the same time, that small half-section of the Black Wind Flag also underwent a strange change; a mass of black energy surged out from it, and then condensed into a double-headed black wolf several feet in size. The fur on this wolf was dull, and its four eyes were extremely listless.

Upon seeing this wolf, Xiang Xiang Zhili's expression sank; he took a few deep breaths, his originally pale face instantly glowing with health, and then, without a word, he raised his hand and extended two fingers to point at the wolf.

With two light "pu-pu" sounds, one golden and one red sword light shot out from his fingertips; as soon as they left his hand, they transformed into giant blades over ten zhang long, like two divine dragons from beyond the heavens, crossing and slashing toward the black wolf.

Xiang Xiang Zhili was quite clever; although he didn't know what had happened just now, it was obvious that this guy covered in demonic energy was definitely a demonic creature suppressed in the Demon-Suppressing Tower. Naturally, he had to strike first while the opponent was exceptionally weak.

The black wolf's face showed anger, and then both heads sprayed a pillar of black light, blocking the giant sword light, but as soon as they made contact, they immediately showed they were no match; clearly, detonating the Black Wind Flag had exhausted its demonic energy.

But the wolf was not alarmed; instead, after scanning the altar below with a sinister look, it suddenly let out a sharp whistle that pierced through metal and stone.

In the distance, Han Li's face showed a hint of surprise, because an unbelievable scene appeared.

The altar, dozens of zhang high, shattered instantly, as if it were made of beach mud and sand, vanishing in the whistling sound.

Almost at the same time, masses of ink-black demonic energy emerged from the altar's wreckage, rapidly spreading throughout the entire space.

"Not good, the seal has been opened," the Ten-Thousand-Year Corpse Bear said in great alarm.

Seeing this scene, Linglong's expression immediately turned gloomy.

Although Xiang Xiang Zhili didn't know what had happened before, upon seeing so much demonic energy rushing out from below, he seemed to immediately think of something, and his face also became extremely ugly.

Seeing so much demonic energy emerging, Han Li's mouth twitched, and without a word, he pointed into the air.

The giant golden sword floating above his head hummed, transformed into a golden rainbow, and slashed continuously at the barrier not far away.

After a rumbling sound, dazzling golden light burst from the barrier, but immediately countless crimson arrows attacked in a dense swarm; it was the humanoid puppet holding the Thunder-Fire Bow, releasing arrows of fire that filled the sky.

In an instant, the entire barrier trembled slightly, but it was clearly far from being broken.

Han Li's face was as calm as water; he flipped his hand, and the Three-Flame Fan appeared in his palm.

But before he could take a deep breath and fan the fan, a dazzling blood light and two crescent flying knives shot over simultaneously, striking the barrier.

Han Li scanned with his eyes and saw that the Ten-Thousand-Year Corpse Bear and Lin Lin Yinping had also flown nearby, attacking with faces full of anxiety.

It seemed they were also very clear that if they couldn't break the barrier and escape first, they would absolutely be unable to resist the erosion of the demonic energy.

Whether they wanted to rely on Linglong's power to ascend to the Spirit Realm or had designs on the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, they naturally had to prioritize saving their lives first.

Han Li said nothing; as the light of the Three-Flame Fan shone brightly, a three-colored firebird flew out from the fan's surface with a long cry, striking fiercely at the barrier.

The next moment, a three-colored halo emerged, and as various runes flashed, the barrier emitted a deafening roar and began to distort and deform.

The attacks of the other treasures naturally became even more violent at the same time!

Seeing the barrier distort to the extreme under various attacks, it still failed to collapse and break.

Han Li's expression turned fierce; while quickly taking out a jade bottle and consuming spiritual liquid to recover magic power, his mind turned rapidly, wanting to use other attack methods.

Just at this moment, a yellow light flashed and shot over; after the light faded, a yellow talisman appeared and stuck to the barrier.

Immediately, a layer of yellow light filled the barrier. Han Li was stunned, and before he could understand what was happening, another mass of dazzling golden light wrapped around something, shooting down like a meteor from beyond the heavens.

A monster wrapped in layers of golden flames appeared near the barrier.

The barrier shook violently and actually shattered, revealing a hole through which several strands of white light shot in from the outside.

Filled with joy and surprise, Han Li didn't hesitate and moved his body, instantly transforming into a startling rainbow and shooting directly out through the hole. The humanoid puppet also vanished from its original spot in a flash.

As his vision brightened, Han Li appeared in a somewhat familiar hall. Several other escape lights followed Han Li closely, circling in the air of this place before revealing their figures one after another.

Besides the Ten-Thousand-Year Corpse Bear and Lin Lin Yinping, another person was Xiang Xiang Zhili, who had been near the altar just a moment ago.

And this hall was actually the seventh floor of the Demon-Suppressing Tower!

Han Li looked at Xiang Xiang Zhili with some surprise, but the other party smiled at Han Li, as if about to say something.

But at this moment, a golden pillar of light sprayed directly from the barrier, then gathered at a point to form a giant ball of light; a figure flashed, and the silver-haired woman actually appeared in the ball of light, holding the Anti-Star Plate.

The old man's open mouth immediately closed, swallowing the words that had reached his lips.

And the hole in the barrier shrank rapidly, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

The few people in the hall remained silent, guarding against each other, and couldn't help but look at each other in dismay for a moment.

"Hmph, if you keep dazed here for a while longer, that demonic creature will have absorbed enough demonic energy, and the few of us will have no way out," Linglong said first, her cold gaze sweeping over Han Li and Xiang Xiang Zhili's faces.

"Are you Senior Long Meng?" Xiang Xiang Zhili asked hesitantly, not quite sure.

After all, the one who had locked him into the Illusionary Heavenly Image was the new soul fused from Long Meng and the demonic soul, and the feeling she gave him was naturally very different from Linglong.

"You know quite a lot. Did the Three Elders of Mount Kunwu leave you any message? But that so-called Long Meng is only a part of me," Linglong said without courtesy.

Such a complex relationship naturally made Xiang Xiang Zhili blink his eyes, feeling somewhat confused for a moment.

Linglong frowned, but still moved her lips to transmit her voice; after only a few sentences, Xiang Xiang Zhili was first surprised, then suddenly enlightened, and then hurriedly sized up Linglong again, using his spiritual sense to confirm that the silver-haired woman before him indeed had no trace of demonic energy, before his expression relaxed and he hurriedly cupped his hands:

"Congratulations, Princess Linglong, for being able to escape today. Regarding the Princess, the Three Elders did indeed leave some guidance for us juniors back then. As for the events of that year, the Three Elders were also forced by circumstances. After all, the primordial spirit of Fairy Long Meng had fused with the demonic soul, and they really didn't dare to let Fairy Long Meng leave just like that."

"Hmph, we'll talk about this after I return to the Spirit Realm. You had better think about how to control the demonic energy. As long as my body is soaked in True Demon Qi for more than three days, it will completely solidify into a demonized body. By then, once this demon recovers its original divine abilities, and with the infinite demonic energy under the altar to assist it, it won't be difficult for it to create an army of demon-men once it leaves this place. The entire mortal world will also see a repeat of the chaotic scenes of the ancient great war," Linglong said coldly.

"There's no need for the Princess to say it; this junior also knows a thing or two. Not to mention the terror of True Demon Qi, even if this demon recovers its original astonishing cultivation, I'm afraid no one in our mortal world can control it. But now the ninth floor is already filled with demonic energy; even if we want to kill the opponent while it's weak, I'm afraid we don't have the ability. This demon has a constant supply of demonic energy, and as long as it deliberately hides from us, the two of us will have no choice but to retreat again. And the Boundary-Breaking Talisman I begged from the Taiyi Sect only has two left," Xiang Xiang Zhili rubbed his hands and said with a bitter smile.

Hearing this, the silver-haired woman knew what the other party said was true and couldn't help but ponder.

"Since that's the case, can't the demonic energy be sealed again?" Lin Lin Yinping couldn't help but speak up upon hearing this.

"It's not that easy. The original sealing array was destroyed, and the Transforming Dragon Seal that could control the Mount Kunwu Mountain restrictions was also smashed to pieces by a palm from this demon when I left. Otherwise, if we could grab that magic tool, we could have started the backup array and suppressed the demonic energy again. But now..." Xiang Xiang Zhili shook his head and sighed.

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into silence again.

"Since there is a backup array, with the wisdom of the ancient cultivators, it wouldn't really be the case that there is only this one control tool, the Transforming Dragon Seal, right?" Han Li, who had been silent, spoke calmly.
