Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man surnamed Gan glared at the woman and moved his lips slightly; a solemn voice reached the ears of the three Core Formation cultivators present at the same time:

"Do not speak nonsense! This person is a late-stage cultivator, and his spiritual sense is far beyond what you can imagine. If you say such things again, it is very likely that he will still be able to sense it."

Hearing this, the enchanting woman was startled and immediately became extremely well-behaved.

After the burly man and the old man in green robes exchanged glances, they also kept their mouths shut.

The cultivator surnamed Gan sat on his chair with his head slightly tilted, and cold light flickered uncertainly in his gray-white pupils.

After a full cup of tea's time, the cold light in the middle-aged man's eyes converged.

"He should have already escaped a thousand li away and cannot possibly sense this place anymore. But for the sake of safety, it is better to be careful." After saying this, he flicked his finger, and with a "puchi" sound, a bit of green light sank into a thick hall pillar nearby.

The hall pillar rumbled, and its entire body glowed with a pale green spiritual light; the other hall pillars nearby also hummed loudly, and then, under the flashing spiritual light, a green light curtain was formed, shrouding a small area nearby.

"Now we can talk freely!" After doing all this, the middle-aged man surnamed Gan's expression finally softened.

"Uncle-Master is truly cautious enough." This time, the enchanting woman gave a wry laugh.

"Facing such a terrifying existence, a little more caution is always appropriate." The middle-aged man surnamed Gan snorted coldly.

"Uncle-Master is right. Moreover, cultivators who have reached this realm probably have strange temperaments; if any of our words offend the other party's taboos, it could bring a disaster of sect extermination to our sect. However, among those famous Nascent Soul seniors in our Chaotic Star Sea, there doesn't seem to be this man and woman, but listening to the man's tone just now, he knows a lot about the Chaotic Star Sea and doesn't look like an outsider. It seems he really is a reclusive cultivator who has been hiding for a long time." The burly man in yellow robes hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly.

The old man in green robes frowned tightly and lowered his head without a word.

"Shi Xuan, what are you thinking about?" The middle-aged man noticed the old man's abnormality and naturally asked.

"I just thought about it carefully; this person seems somewhat familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere before." After the old man in green robes raised his head, he said slowly.

"You have seen this person?" As soon as these words were spoken, the others were startled, and all their gazes fell on the old man.

"Although the other party's face is ordinary, Brother, could you be mistaken!" The enchanting woman couldn't help but say.

"Although this face is ordinary, I should have seen this person correctly; it just seems to be something from a long time ago.... Right, the surname Han! I remember now, this person is the one who was hunted by the Anti-Star Alliance's extermination order back then!" The old man in green robes' expression changed, and he let out a low cry.

"Extermination order? Hunting a Nascent Soul level cultivator! Why didn't I know about this?" The cultivator surnamed Gan was first shocked, then his expression turned gloomy.

"Uncle-Master, you misunderstood! The extermination order stated clearly that this person was a Core Formation cultivator who hadn't formed a Nascent Soul at all. And Uncle-Master was in seclusion back then, and Brother Quan and Sister Jing hadn't formed their Core yet; at that time, Brother Ma and I were responsible for the sect's affairs. We just sent some manpower to deal with it in a hurry, so we didn't report it to Uncle-Master. Right, this was nearly two hundred years ago; I still have the order jade slip from back then." The old man explained, sweating profusely, and immediately searched his storage bag, took out a ghost-faced jade slip, and handed it to the middle-aged cultivator.

"Nonsense! Could the other party have advanced from the Core Formation stage to the late Nascent Soul stage in such a short time?" The middle-aged man surnamed Gan heard this, his face becoming even gloomier, but he still took the jade slip and scanned it with his spiritual sense.

As a result, the middle-aged man only looked at it twice, his expression changing several times, revealing an incredible look.

The phantom appearing in the jade slip, in a green robe with a faint smile on his mouth, was none other than Han Li who had just left; their expressions were exactly the same, and it was impossible for it to be someone with a similar face.

The middle-aged man surnamed Gan felt a stormy sea rising in his heart; he read every word of the content attached to the jade slip without missing anything, then withdrew his spiritual sense and remained silent for a long time with a thoughtful expression.

Seeing the middle-aged cultivator so solemn, not only the old man in green robes and the burly man in yellow robes, but even the enchanting woman remained silent, looking as if everything was up to this Uncle-Master of their sect.

"It seems I really wronged my nephew. The person hunted by the Anti-Star Alliance is indeed the one who just left. But listen well, this matter is absolutely not allowed to be leaked out by half a word. The Anti-Star Alliance is indeed powerful, but this person is no longer the Core Formation cultivator of those years, and I don't want our sect to get involved in their grudges. Otherwise, whoever angers the other party, a mere Kumen Island would absolutely be unable to withstand their anger." The middle-aged man surnamed Gan's expression flashed with determination, and he said coldly.

"Yes!" The three of them felt a chill in their hearts and hurriedly agreed.

"You three are not allowed to leave the sect within ten years; just cultivate well in your caves. I have a bad premonition; suddenly two Great Cultivators have appeared in the world, one of whom has some grudges with the Anti-Star Alliance, I am afraid the Chaotic Star Sea will become even more chaotic. Restrain the other disciples as well; there is no need to leave the island if not necessary. Our sect will quietly close the mountain gate for a period of time!"

The middle-aged man seemed to have thought it over carefully, and a series of orders were given, which shocked the other three, but they could only keep saying yes.

Immediately, the three of them took their leave and exited the hall to arrange the mountain-closing order given by the middle-aged cultivator.

Only the middle-aged man surnamed Gan remained sitting on the main seat of the hall; under the faint fluorescent light of the hall, his expression changed uncertainly, as if there were still things difficult to decide.

"Forget it, even if this person is really the cultivator who obtained the Void Heaven Cauldron back then, that giant cauldron is the Void Heaven Cauldron, what does it have to do with me! Perhaps there are people in the world who can snatch treasures from the hands of Great Cultivators, but it is definitely not me. Once the news leaks, I will instead invite a disaster of death!" I don't know how long it had been, but the cultivator surnamed Gan finally sighed, stood up with a self-deprecating expression on his face.

Immediately, he flicked his sleeve, turned into a blue long rainbow, and flew away, disappearing in the blink of an eye, not knowing where he went.

The hall became empty and cold again.

And at this time, Han Li, who had long since left the island, naturally did not know that a mere Yellow Sand Sect had figured out his identity from the past, and even guessed that the Void Heaven Cauldron was on him.

This was no wonder; few ordinary cultivators knew that the Void Heaven Cauldron had flowed out of the Void Heaven Palace back then, but it had long been spread among Nascent Soul cultivators.

If Han Li hadn't accidentally teleported into the Ghost Fog that day and happened to return to the Heavenly South, and then stayed in the Chaotic Star Sea, I am afraid that sooner or later he would have been found by those Nascent Soul old monsters working together.

As for the fact that he was hunted by the Anti-Star Alliance's extermination order, it was naturally a move made by the likes of the Extreme Yin Ancestor and other old monsters after their continuous searches yielded no results and they were furious, wanting to force Han Li to have nowhere to hide and expose his whereabouts on his own.

Of course, so many years had passed, the matter of the Void Heaven Cauldron had long become a legend, and the order to hunt him down had never been canceled, but the cultivators of both the righteous and demonic paths had long forgotten about it.

But the news that the Void Heaven Palace had appeared in the world again spread quickly and gradually spread to the nearby sea areas.

Originally, those cultivators who witnessed this scene on Kumen Island were mostly low-tier cultivators not worth mentioning, but there were also two passing Core Formation cultivators who happened to have read the introduction about the Void Heaven Palace in the classics, so they naturally spread this as a strange event.

As the rumors spread that day, the situation of that day naturally became false and true, among which the matter of the Ice Phoenix ruthlessly killing a Nascent Soul cultivator eventually turned into the Extreme Yin Old Devil being killed by two Nascent Soul cultivators after a bitter fight.

In this way, although the news was still equally sensational, it was naturally far less shocking than two late-stage cultivators appearing in the world at the same time.

Instead, Han Li being teleported out of the Void Heaven Palace that day and driving the giant cauldron transformed by the Void Heaven Cauldron made many people inexplicably associate him with his identity from the past.

Immediately, many Nascent Soul cultivators began to stir.

Han Li did not know about the extermination order, and even less did he know that most Nascent Soul cultivators and sects had his true portrait in their hands. Otherwise, he would have definitely changed his appearance and become careful immediately.

With his current magical powers, although he was not afraid of being besieged by ordinary cultivators, he also did not want to attract any trouble and waste his time.

Now he had turned into a green rainbow and was rushing toward Star City according to the nearby sea area map.

Along the way, Han Li passed by several islands. Each time, he exchanged treasures or rare materials for all the high-tier spirit stones in the markets on the islands. He gained more than twenty pieces in one breath.

This made Han Li overjoyed, and his thoughts about the mining area became even stronger.

On the way, Han Li naturally encountered many cultivators, mostly of low-tier cultivation; with Han Li's current magical powers, he naturally would not entangle himself with these people anymore, and without meeting any of them, he flew directly over from high altitude.

And among these cultivators, except for two or three with higher cultivation who looked suspiciously at the high altitude where Han Li passed, the rest were mostly unaware. They didn't even know that they had brushed shoulders with a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

After flying for a full month, a black dot appeared on the sea surface, and after flying for a few more hours, Han Li finally saw the holy mountain of Star City towering into the clouds from afar, and he couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.

Just at this moment, more than a dozen streaks of light suddenly appeared from the sky on the opposite side, forming a team and flying directly toward Han Li.

Han Li swept his spiritual sense from afar, and couldn't help but be startled.

In this team of cultivators, there were actually four or five Core Formation cultivators, and one of them was a high-tier cultivator at the early Nascent Soul stage, and the aura on the Nascent Soul cultivator actually gave him a familiar feeling as if he had seen it before.

Han Li's face showed a hint of suspicion as his gaze flickered, but he stood still and did not use any escape technique to hide.
