Chapter 1169: Changes in the Fallen Demon Valley

Hearing Lü Luo's words, Han Li's heart finally relaxed.

It seemed that as he had expected, even without the method to undo the seal he had personally brought, Nangong Wan would be fine. However, since the method to undo the curse was already in hand, it naturally shouldn't be wasted, and it would be better to perform the spell on Nangong Wan again to avoid any unknown future troubles.

Han Li made a decision in an instant.

In their idle chat, the three arrived in front of the restriction array of the Falling Cloud Sect.

Because Lü Luo had sent a sound transmission talisman on the way, as soon as the two flew over, the restriction fog covering the entire array rolled, and then gradually dissipated and disappeared.

The entire mountain-protecting array had actually begun to be completely withdrawn.

Han Li was startled by this. But before he could say anything, hundreds of Foundation Establishment disciples, led by more than a dozen Core Formation cultivators, all flew out from the mountain gate. Then, they lined up in pairs on both sides in the air, and shouted in unison:

"Disciples of the Falling Cloud Sect, welcome Elder Han for his great success in Nascent Soul and his return to the mountain gate."

After shouting these words, all these cultivators bowed deeply to Han Li with excitement. Clearly, Lü Luo had informed the disciples in the sect that Han Li had already become a late-stage great cultivator in the sound transmission talisman just now.

That was why these disciples in the sect had put on such a grand show to welcome this "Elder Han."

After all, these Falling Cloud Sect disciples knew very well what it meant for a great cultivator to appear in the sect. Not only would the sect immediately become one of the super sects in Tiannan, but the cultivation resources it occupied would be far beyond what they were before. They, as disciples of the Falling Cloud Sect, were naturally ecstatic.

Han Li gave a bitter laugh to Lü Luo beside him.

"Senior Brother Lü, I am not an outsider, it seems there is no need for such a big commotion, right?"

"Haha, Junior Brother Han, what are you saying. Junior Brother has advanced to become a great cultivator, so the disciples of the sect naturally have to come to welcome you grandly. After a while, the sect will also hold a grand ceremony to celebrate this matter, and invite the elders of other sects to observe the ceremony. Otherwise, how can it match Junior Brother's current status." Lü Luo laughed and said.

"Whatever Senior Brother decides. However, Junior Brother will not ask about these matters at all, at most I will come out to show my face when the time comes." Han Li could only say helplessly.

According to the custom in Tiannan, if a cultivator advances to the late Nascent Soul stage, it is indeed necessary to hold a grand ceremony to inform the entire Tiannan. This is to let other sects confirm this matter and establish the super status of the sect where the great cultivator is located.

Han Li was not in a position to oppose this.

So, surrounded by so many disciples, Han Li entered the Falling Cloud Sect and went directly into a hall in the sect.

Han Li sat in the central seat of the hall. Although Lü Luo sat with him, his seat was slightly off to the side, showing that from now on, Han Li would be the master.

Seeing this, Han Li didn't say anything.

If a sect has a Nascent Soul late-stage great cultivator, and it is not led by him, it is likely that the sect will have big problems. Not to mention anything else, the disciples under him would be panicked, let alone the suspicion of other sects. Sooner or later, there would be chaos.

Therefore, Han Li did not refuse, and acquiesced to this matter. However, he sat in the center of the hall and remained silent.

After all, he hadn't returned to the sect for so many years, and he had always ignored sect affairs in the past, so it was naturally better to leave everything to this Senior Brother Lü to handle.

Sure enough, Lü Luo's cultivation was not outstanding among Nascent Soul cultivators, but he handled sect affairs in an orderly manner. First, he let the new Core Formation disciples in the sect pay respects to Han Li one by one, then officially announced the news that Han Li had officially become a Nascent Soul late-stage cultivator, and then assigned some tasks to the disciples in the excited gazes of the disciples, directly starting to prepare for the grand ceremony.

Han Li sat on the chair indifferently, his gaze sweeping over these disciples in the sect at will.

Most of those qualified to stand here were Core Formation disciples, and the few Foundation Establishment cultivators mixed among them were also important deacons in the sect responsible for worldly affairs.

No matter where his gaze swept, these disciples did not dare to look him in the eye, lowering their heads to show their respect to Han Li.

But Han Li looked a few times, but suddenly found that his named disciple Liu Yu and the woman surnamed Song from the White Phoenix Peak were not among these people.

He was startled in his heart and felt somewhat strange.

After Lü Luo finished assigning tasks one by one, these disciples all respectfully bowed and exited the hall, starting to prepare for the grand ceremony a few months later.

"Senior Brother Lü, I don't seem to have seen Junior Sister Song, did Junior Sister have other important matters to go out?" Han Li asked very casually.

Lü Luo laughed lightly upon hearing this.

"Hehe, Junior Brother Han doesn't know, Junior Sister Song has gone to the Fallen Demon Valley. It seems she wants to refine a kind of spiritual pill, but is missing a kind of rare spiritual herb, and this spiritual herb has long been extinct in the outside world, but someone once brought this kind of spiritual medicine out of the Fallen Demon Valley."

"Breaking into the Fallen Demon Valley?" Han Li's expression changed upon hearing this.

"Junior Brother, don't worry, that kind of spiritual herb can be found on the outskirts of the Fallen Demon Valley. And for some unknown reason, since the valley was broken into once by you, the inner valley is still dangerous, but the restrictions in the outer valley are weakening year by year, and the space cracks there have also disappeared for the most part. Outside of individual areas and being careful of the hidden monsters in the valley, there is no great danger. Many cultivators have obtained many benefits from the outer valley in these decades. By the way, Junior Sister Liu and your concubine also followed. These three are all of Core Formation cultivation and brought a few good treasures, so they should be fine." Lü Luo explained hurriedly.

"The Fallen Demon Valley has such changes, and Liu Yu and Mu Mu Peiling also went?" Han Li was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, I don't know what kind of spiritual pill you left behind, but your concubine advanced to the mid-Core Formation stage in a hundred years. Cultivating so fast, it really surprised me. It's possible she might even advance to Nascent Soul." Lü Luo said with amazement.

"The pills I left are secondary, it's just that Mu Peiling's original aptitude was not bad."

Han Li said so in his mouth, but after touching his chin, he thought indifferently that he had originally thought he could return from Dajin in ten years or so, so the pills he left behind to increase cultivation were not too many. Otherwise, if she had been taking spiritual pills non-stop, it would be very possible for her to have advanced to the late Core Formation stage in a hundred years.

However, he had now broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage on his own, and the Phoenix Pei Yuan Art was only effective on Nascent Soul stage cultivators, so his original plan was no longer useful. He would have to think carefully about how to deal with this woman.

After all, everyone knew that this woman was his concubine. Even if he let her go now, there was absolutely no male cultivator who would have the guts to risk offending a great cultivator to get involved with this woman again.

Han Li thought to himself, and after chatting with Lü Luo for a while, he suddenly stood up to say goodbye, wanting to see Nangong Wan first.

Lü Luo naturally would not stop him at all.

So Han Li left the disciple Tian Qin'er in the hall and set off directly to the sect's forbidden area from back then.

After a while, Han Li appeared in front of the stone room in the forbidden area, his heart somewhat agitated as he removed the restriction on the door and pushed open the stone door lightly.

The stone room remained exceptionally neat, everything just as it was when he left back then, and the crystal-shining ice wall still stood opposite the stone door.

The only difference was that Nangong Wan, who looked like a young girl in the ice wall, had returned to her original peerless appearance, but at this moment, her bright eyes were closed, seemingly still in a deep sleep.

Han Li swayed his body lightly and appeared in front of the ice wall like a teleportation.

He stared blankly at the woman in the wall, his expression complex for a time.

Just at this moment, the long eyelashes of the beauty in the ice wall moved, and she slowly opened her eyes, meeting Han Li's gaze exactly.

The two stared at each other in silence for a time!

"You're back. This time, you've truly worked hard!" After a long while, the woman suddenly smiled faintly and said softly.

Deep in the inner valley of the Fallen Demon Valley, on the mountainside of an unknown mountain, a heaven-shaking loud noise suddenly came.

A thick black energy rolled out from an unknown cave, then swayed, the black energy surging, and in the blink of an eye, it filled hundreds of zhang, almost covering half the sky, as if a giant demon god had descended, the momentum was extremely shocking.

"Hehe, relying on the residual demonic energy of the ancient demon, I only advanced to the mid-Nascent Soul stage in a hundred years, and even cultivated this Profound Yin Demonic Energy to the last two layers. Taking such a big risk to come to this Fallen Demon Valley was indeed the right decision. Next, I will search for a few handy treasures in the valley. In the future, even if that person comes looking for me, I won't have to be too afraid. Then I will find a way to sneak into the Ten Thousand Zhang Demon Abyss, and with the infusion of that ten thousand zhang demonic energy into this demon corpse body, I think it's not impossible to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage. Haha, other demon cultivators are afraid of demonic energy exploding their bodies, but I am a demon corpse body myself, what is there to be afraid of? When the time comes, when I reach the late stage, I will kill that person, devour his primordial spirit, and it will be as easy as turning over my hand. At that time, I will be him, and he will be me. Originally, there could only be one Han Li in the world..."

A hoarse voice came from the black energy, and then the person laughed wildly like a madman. Then the black energy surged wildly and rolled toward a certain direction.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace.

On the outskirts of the Fallen Demon Valley, in a bamboo forest, a ball of red light shot up from the bamboo forest, circled, and fled in a hurry like a bolt of lightning.

But after a delicate shout, three sword lights of different colors shot out from the bamboo forest with even more astonishing escape speed, and after a few flashes, they caught up with the red light.

The three sword lights circled, and a strange bird over a zhang long fell from the fire light with a "quack" cry.

A white rainbow shot out from the bamboo forest, and after a flash, arrived beside the fallen strange bird, revealing a beautiful woman in white clothes.

This woman raised her hand and grabbed into the void, and immediately a purple spiritual herb flew out from the strange bird's corpse, which she grabbed in her hand.
