Chapter 1095: Suspicion

"Brother Han Li, what do you think? Although what Fellow Daoist Han Li said makes some sense, this poor monk still has some concerns. For the sake of safety, how about you and I advance and retreat together? As for Fellow Daoist Long, according to what I know, she has some connection with Little Extreme Palace, so you and I should be careful." The gray-robed monk actually secretly transmitted his voice to Han Li. (Website)

Han Li felt a chill in his heart, his gaze turned, and he glanced at the monk sideways, finding that the other party was smiling slightly at him.

His thoughts turned rapidly, and just as Han Li was considering whether what the other party said was true or false, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the Void Spirit Hall above the Profound Jade Cave, and the entire cave trembled slightly, as if it had been hit by some strong impact.

Everyone's expression changed.

If they were on the top of the giant mountain of Little Extreme Palace at this moment, they would be able to see a giant ice phoenix, several dozen zhang tall and completely white as jade, circling outside the restriction light curtain of the giant mountain. With a spread of its wings, a cold wind whistled, actually condensing a giant ice mountain over a hundred zhang tall out of thin air with cold air beneath it, and then released its claws.

Instantly, like Mount Tai pressing down, the ice mountain fell straight down with a boom, hitting the light curtain and emitting a heaven-shaking loud noise.

Countless white lights burst and flickered. The originally thick light curtain twisted strangely, but in the end, it was not broken. Even so, the giant mountain still trembled slightly under this impact, and some unstable buildings on the mountain even collapsed directly.

This giant phoenix was exactly the silver-robed woman transformed.

Because of the loss of most of the low-tier Ice Sea demon clan members a few days ago, her heart was filled with anger, and she actually relied on being a pure descendant of the heaven and earth spirit beast of the ice-cold attribute, directly ignoring the outer ice-cold restriction array, tore open space, rushed to the sky above the Ice City, and performed divine ability to attack the defensive restrictions of Little Extreme Palace.

Although it succeeded in a sneak attack, causing the cultivators in the giant mountain to be in a panic, the high-tier cultivators of Little Extreme Palace below naturally wouldn't let it continue to attack like this.

Just as a white light ring flashed on this demon bird and it began to condense the next ice mountain, a silver rainbow and a mass of white light flew out from within the light curtain, figures flickering inside; it was exactly Bai Bai Yaoyi and the gray-haired elder.

Before approaching the Ice Wind, Bai Bai Yaoyi let out a soft shout, and two silver flying swords slashed over first, while the gray-haired elder sank his expression and rubbed his hands together, and a treasure flew out from his sleeve, actually a crystal-clear jade bottle.

The bottle flickered with spiritual light, but a rumbling sound came from the mouth of the bottle, appearing exceptionally mysterious.

Seeing this, the Ice Phoenix's pair of pale green eyes flashed, and its giant wings suddenly flapped, and more than ten giant ice spears over ten zhang long appeared under its wings, shooting toward the two.

Seeing this, the gray-haired elder snorted in his nose, pinched a magic technique with both hands in the white light, and instantly the jade bottle trembled violently, spraying more than ten strands of black and white light rays from the mouth of the bottle, which strangely entangled the ice spears in a flash.

It was unknown what mystery these light rays had, but all the ice spears trembled upon contact, shrinking rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into the size of chopsticks and were rolled up by these black and white light rays, sucked into the jade bottle.

The Ice Phoenix flashed a look of surprise in its eyes, but without thinking, its figure flickered, and it transformed into a boundless wind and snow, sweeping toward the two people opposite with the power to cover the sky and earth.

Bai Bai Yaoyi and the gray-haired elder didn't want to be outdone, and two silver rainbows and a mass of black and white aura, with light shining brightly, greeted them.

Instantly, rumbling sounds came one after another on the top of the giant mountain, wind and snow intersected, and spiritual light flashed urgently. But strangely, the beautiful woman and other Little Extreme Palace elders were not seen coming out to help, seemingly either presiding over the restriction magic array or having gone to fight other high-tier demon beasts.

The outside was fighting fiercely, while Han Li and the others in the Profound Jade Cave in the Void Spirit Hall felt the aftermath of the great war and looked at each other.

Master Han Li also looked at the cave entrance, and a look of solemnity appeared on his face.

"It seems those demon creatures have really started to take action. In this way, this cave entrance cannot be opened easily. Otherwise, if we are disturbed during the critical moment of breakthrough, it is very likely that we will fall short. I still intend to borrow the power of you fellow daoists to resist the group of demons, and will definitely not do anything unfavorable to you three fellow daoists." This Great Elder of Little Extreme Palace's tone became heavy, and it contained a trace of determination.

"Fellow Daoist Han Li's words are understandable. But we help you break through the bottleneck, and if you succeed, you will advance while we three will be severely injured. With the rise and fall of strength, and being in such a closed underground, it is really too unsettling. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall; one must also have a heart of defense. We have some friendship with your palace, but we cannot just rely on a few words to entrust our lives to your thoughts." The monk frowned and said slowly.

"It is no wonder you fellow daoists are so careful. If it were me, I wouldn't put myself in such a situation either. But does Master Mo Jiu have any two-pronged strategy?" Master Han Li asked somewhat helplessly.

"How about this. If you have no other intentions, Fellow Daoist, why not temporarily keep this Dry Blue Tripod with us for safekeeping? As long as this matter is over, we three will return this tripod to you. In this way, we can rest assured and help you break through the bottleneck." The gray-robed monk's eyes flashed with essence, and suddenly said this.

As soon as these words were spoken, Han Li and the old woman standing on the light pillar were both startled, but then they felt a sense of sudden realization.

"Good, this is indeed a two-pronged strategy." Han Li agreed immediately.

And the old woman thought for a while, then nodded slowly.

The middle-aged man in green robes changed his expression and couldn't help but interject:

"Master Mo Jiu, this is not appropriate. Master should be very clear about the origin of this Dry Blue Tripod; it is the special magic tool for our palace to cultivate Dry Blue Ice Flame, how can it easily fall into the hands of others."

As he said this, he shook his head repeatedly.

"We are just keeping it for safekeeping temporarily, and we will return the original object before leaving this place; we have no intention of occupying it as our own. What is wrong with this? Fellow Daoist Master Ouyang is overthinking." The gray-robed monk, who had always been amiable, was now unyielding.

"But..."

Just as the middle-aged man in green robes was about to continue, Master Han Li interrupted his words:

"Forget it, Junior Brother Master Ouyang. Master Mo Jiu's words are not without reason. Good, I agree to this matter. But I don't know which of you three fellow daoists should keep this Dry Blue Tripod?"

This Great Elder agreed to the matter, but the counter-question made Han Li hesitate, and he couldn't help but glance at the other two.

And the monk and the old woman were also the same, remaining silent for a while.

"Since it was Master Mo Jiu who proposed this matter, let Master keep this tripod. This old woman has always trusted Master's character." The old woman's expression moved, and she said so.

Han Li narrowed his eyes, thought rapidly, and finally nodded casually.

"Since you two fellow daoists trust this poor monk so much, this poor monk will temporarily keep this tripod." The gray-robed monk didn't decline and agreed solemnly.

Seeing that the three had made a decision, Master Han Li didn't delay any longer, pointed at the small tripod in the high sky, and the tripod spun, its blue flames converged, and it fell slowly.

Seeing this, the gray-robed monk didn't dare to be slow, flicked his sleeve, and a piece of green rosy light flew out, wrapping the small tripod and temporarily restricting it.

Although this tripod could produce Dry Blue Ice Flame, he himself also possessed a kind of extreme cold flame, so he didn't have to worry about any leaks.

This time, Han Li took the initiative to transform into a streak of light and shot toward the purple light pillar. To tell the truth, through the observation of the past few days, Han Li had truly understood seven or eight out of ten of this secret technique. But the final breakthrough method was the top priority, and he had to witness it personally to finally master the entire secret technique.

Therefore, although Han Li felt somewhat uneasy about the cave being sealed, he relied on his extraordinary divine ability and didn't have much fear. Even if this Great Elder of Little Extreme Palace really succeeded in breaking through the Spirit Transformation stage, there was nothing to fear before his realm was stabilized.

Moreover, the restrictions on the Spirit Transformation stage in the current mortal world were mentioned in the jade slips left by Linglong when she flew away, and he had some understanding, so his fear had gone away a lot.

However, for the sake of safety, he moved his divine sense and quietly summoned the Taiyin True Fire into the magic array, lurking under a certain pile of rocks. During this process, others didn't notice anything.

And at this moment, the gray-robed monk smiled, then flew up, and the others also flew into the magic array one after another.

Master Han Li didn't hesitate at all, flicked his ten fingers, and activated the magic array again.

Instantly, rosy light emerged all around, a layer of light curtain appeared again, covering everyone within it, and the white, hazy hurricane also blew up, covering the light curtain beneath it.

Han Li blinked and carefully examined the surroundings. Although the activated restrictions seemed to be exactly the same as those of the previous days, the spiritual energy fluctuations were clearly somewhat different. With his attainments close to a magic array master, he immediately saw some mysteries, and analyzed them silently, but didn't show anything on his face.

"Start! Hehe, if I really succeed this time, I will definitely not forget the kindness of you fellow daoists." Master Han Li in the milky white cold light said with a low laugh, then pinched a magic technique with both hands, and the blue ice flames on his body flickered, transforming into a deep blue color, the color so deep it was like the deep blue ocean, making one reluctant to look away for even half a moment.

"Eh! Unexpectedly, Fellow Daoist Han Li's Dry Blue Ice Flame has actually been refined to such a level. I am afraid this is already the limit of how pure the cold flame can be in our mortal world." The old woman saw this scene, and murmured with envy.

"Is this the fully refined extreme cold flame?" Han Li felt a move in his heart and watched Master Han Li for a while longer.

At this moment, the others began to sit cross-legged, and a giant lotus of light slowly unfolded beneath them.

Han Li curled his lips and sat down calmly, and also pinched his fingers to activate the magic technique.

Instantly, extreme cold flames of various colors emerged on everyone, but this time Han Li and the others didn't take action immediately, but low incantations came from their mouths.

The light lotuses beneath them continued to grow in the sound of the magic technique, and in the blink of an eye, they became twice as large as the original, and the cold flames on their bodies, under the blessing of the light lotuses, became dazzling and surged.

Han Li only felt a sense of scorching heat coming from his body, and his body actually felt as if it were in a mass of scorching sun at this moment, and the Purple Falling Extreme Fire in his body was completely stimulated.
