Chapter 1178

"Are you the Zhao brothers of the Golden Sea Sect?" The young man in the middle suddenly smiled at the three and asked.

"Who are you, fellow Daoist? Brother Hou, what is going on?" A look of vigilance appeared on the big man's face.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, do not be rude. This is the Great Elder of our sect! The other is Junior Brother Lin," the old man also spoke, but this one sentence gave the three a big fright.

"Great Elder, could it be Senior Han of your sect!" The eldest big man blurted out in disbelief.

"That's right, I am currently holding the position of Great Elder of the Falling Cloud Sect. It was somewhat abrupt for Han Mou to have Junior Nephew Hou invite you fellow Daoists here," the young man smiled, revealing a set of snow-white teeth.

It was exactly Han Li who had rushed all the way from the Falling Cloud Sect to the Eastern Yu Kingdom.

"I dare not, since it is a summons from you, Senior, it is my brothers' honor!" The eldest big man was surprised and looked at Han Li carefully again. Seeing that the other party's appearance was indeed very similar to the person in the rumors, he did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly bowed respectfully.

The other two also hurriedly followed suit.

"It's nothing, the three fellow Daoists are not disciples of this sect, so there is no need for such courtesy. I heard from Junior Nephew Hou that the three of you once saw the female disciples of this sect in the valley; I don't know if this is true?" Han Li waved his hand and asked calmly.

"Senior, are you referring to Fairy Bai and the others? My brothers did indeed see Fairy Bai and the three of them in the Fallen Demon Valley in passing," the eldest big man was startled upon hearing Han Li ask about this, but immediately replied honestly.

"Oh, can the three fellow Daoists tell Han Mou in detail about the situation at that time!" Han Li asked gently.

"This is naturally no problem. A few months ago, because my brothers needed a rare material for refining, we entered the Fallen Demon Valley to try our luck. But we gained nothing in the outer valley, and as a result, when we were preparing to withdraw from the valley, we met Fairy Bai and the three of them on the road. Because of some things years ago, I had met Fairy Bai a few times, so I stepped forward to chat a few words. However, Fairy Bai and the three of them looked somewhat anxious, seemingly searching for something, and did not say much to my brothers, leaving soon after. My brothers immediately left the valley and never saw the three fairies again," the big man explained carefully.

"Can you tell me in detail where you met Junior Sister Bai? I have a map of the outer valley of the Fallen Demon Valley here; can you mark the approximate location where you met the three of them for me?" Han Li pondered for a moment, shook his sleeve, and a cyan jade slip he had prepared long ago flew toward the big man.

"The place where we met Fairy Bai had already entered very deep into the outer valley." The big man hurriedly grabbed the jade slip, explained a few sentences first, and then immersed his mind in the jade slip. But in an instant, he withdrew and handed the jade slip to Han Li with both hands.

Han Li beckoned with his hand, and the jade slip transformed into a streak of cyan light and entered his palm. His divine sense swept through it, and his eyebrows lifted lightly.

"Sure enough, it is very close to the inner valley. This time, I have troubled the three fellow Daoists. Junior Nephew Hou, Junior Nephew Wu, you two accompany the three fellow Daoists to chat; I will go a step ahead," after Han Li collected the jade slip, he smiled at the three big men and then instructed the old man and the Confucian scholar lightly.

"Respectfully send off Senior Uncle Han!" The Confucian scholar and the old man immediately bowed halfway, and the three big men also did not dare to be negligent and made a gesture of respectful send-off.

Han Li's whole body burst with cyan light, and he transformed into a dazzling cyan rainbow and broke through the air, disappearing at the edge of the sky in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Hou! Is this really Senior Han Li who advanced to a Great Cultivator in your sect?" Until witnessing the cyan rainbow disappear at the edge of the horizon, another big man who had not spoken from the beginning let out a long breath, as if still somewhat unable to believe it, and asked.

"If it's not this Senior Uncle Han, then who else could it be? It's no small opportunity for the three of you to meet him this time! You must know that Senior Uncle Han's reputation is huge, but he rarely meets disciples in the sect. I have only seen Senior Uncle a few times myself," the old man surnamed Hou also relaxed his expression and said with a bitter smile.

"Indeed, Senior Uncle Han doesn't interact much with the disciples in the sect. Although I have condensed my Golden Core for decades, I only saw him from afar once at the grand ceremony before. This time, if it weren't for the matter of Senior Sister Bai and the others, I fear the Great Elder would not have left his cave dwelling," the Confucian scholar also said.

"So, Fairy Bai and the three of them really went missing in the Fallen Demon Valley. My brothers had heard some rumors earlier, but thought it was just groundless talk," the eldest big man asked solemnly after being stunned for a long time.

"Things have come to this, there is nothing to hide. Something has indeed happened to Junior Sister Bai and the others," the old man sighed.

"Fairy Bai and the three of them are all at the Golden Core stage, how could they easily go missing? Could it be that they entered the inner valley?" The eldest big man was somewhat surprised.

"I fear that is the case. It would be best if they were just trapped somewhere in the inner valley; if so, with Senior Uncle Han personally taking action, I think there will be no problem rescuing them," the Confucian scholar was somewhat worried.

"Could it be that Fairy Bai has some connection with Senior Han? Otherwise, listening to the tone of you two fellow Daoists earlier, Senior Han doesn't seem to like managing affairs," the eldest big man heard something.

"Hehe, I heard that Senior Sister Bai and Senior Uncle Han have known each other for a long time, but I think the main reason lies with the other two fellow disciples. I heard that Senior Sister Liu Yu was a named disciple of Senior Han years ago, and another, Junior Sister Mu Mu Peiling, is simply Senior Uncle Han's concubine. With the three of them having trouble at the same time, how could Senior Uncle Han not take action to manage this matter," the old man smiled slightly.

So that's how it is, the three big men suddenly realized.

Just when these Golden Core stage cultivators were discussing, Han Li had already shot all the way toward the Fallen Demon Valley.

While in the streak of light, he was playing with a milky-white jade tablet in his hand, his face deep in thought.

"Why, is fellow Daoist Han worried about your disciple and concubine, or is it because you haven't comprehended this Golden Que Jade Book in your hand?" A faint, low boy's voice suddenly came to Han Li's ears.

Han Li's gaze flickered, and he swept a glance at one of his sleeves before replying indifferently:

"They have mostly entered the inner valley of the Fallen Demon Valley; as long as nothing has truly happened to them, it won't take much effort to rescue them. It is the silver tadpole script you taught me that seems to have some unclear parts. How is the content in the jade book so bitter and difficult to understand? But what is certain is that what is recorded inside is indeed a method for refining talismans. But the specific content is also too profound."

"Hehe, this is a natural matter. The talisman path recorded in the jade book was originally cultivated by immortals; if you, a mortal world cultivator, could easily comprehend it, I would doubt the authenticity of this jade book. What's more, you only obtained half a page of the jade book, so it is naturally even more strenuous to comprehend," the boy smiled lightly and said without surprise.

"What you said also makes some sense; anyway, there is plenty of time, I will comprehend it carefully when I have time," Han Li nodded and then collected the jade tablet again.

"Fellow Daoist Han, I have already taught you the silver tadpole script and passed on the refining methods for Fire Spirit Silk and the Destruction Demon Eye. Shouldn't you help me resist the transformation lightning tribulation?" The boy was silent for a moment and asked calmly.

"Please rest assured, fellow Daoist Tianlan. Han Mou will naturally not go back on what I have promised. Once this matter is over, I will find a secluded place to help you successfully transform," Han Li replied frankly.

"Good, having your words, fellow Daoist, is enough." The boy seemed very satisfied with Han Li's answer and immediately shut his mouth and said no more.

And Han Li also said nothing more, just fully urged his escape light, flashed a few times, and disappeared from the vicinity without a trace.

Half a day later, at the entrance of the Fallen Demon Valley in the Wanling Mountain Range, the teleportation array built by the Ghost Spirit Sect years ago still stood outside the valley entrance, but it was covered with a thick layer of dust, as if it hadn't been used for many years.

This is no wonder; years ago, the periphery of the Fallen Demon Valley was surrounded by dense restrictions and countless space cracks, but now not only have most of the space cracks disappeared, but even the outermost layer of restrictions has long been faint. As long as one has Golden Core cultivation or higher, one can easily sneak into the valley from several places where the restrictions are weak, or even enter without specifically passing through the original valley entrance.

The teleportation array built by the Ghost Spirit Sect was naturally of no use anymore.

Of course, the valley entrance of the Fallen Demon Valley is still the path that most cultivators must pass through to enter the valley. After all, this place has been walked countless times by numerous cultivators, and the safety is naturally far more reliable than other places.

But now, near the teleportation array, five or six cultivators in different attire are discussing something.

They are all Golden Core stage cultivators, and one of them is even a late Golden Core stage cultivator, seemingly preparing to enter the valley from the valley entrance.

Suddenly, several faint sounds of breaking through the air came from the distant sky, and these people were startled and hurriedly raised their heads to look.

But they only saw a flash of cyan light in the distant sky, seemingly a streak of light shooting over. When they just wanted to focus their gaze to look, they saw that the cyan light just swayed a few times and strangely disappeared without a trace.

The expressions of several people changed drastically, and they released their divine sense to be careful, but at a low altitude only ten feet away from them, the sound of breaking through the air came again!

A flash of cyan light, and a cyan rainbow swept past their eyelids, flashed a few times, and disappeared into the valley entrance without a trace!

With so many cultivators, not one of them could see clearly who the person in the cyan escape light was.

These people looked at each other, and all saw a look of shock on the others' faces.

The owner of this cyan rainbow was naturally Han Li. He couldn't be bothered to manage these few mere Golden Core cultivators and directly escaped into the Fallen Demon Valley.

According to the place marked by the big man of the Golden Sea Sect in the valley, Han Li shot straight toward that side without a second word.

If he remembered correctly, that place seemed not far from the entrance to the inner valley where he and Zi Ling followed the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators years ago.

Plus, the woman surnamed Song and Zi Ling were good friends, so Han Li naturally didn't need to consider much and went from that side to search for the traces of the three women first.

With Han Li's current escape speed, plus the fact that most of the space cracks in the outer valley were gone and there were no dangers to limit his escape speed, he arrived above the huge ice crack leading to the inner valley in just over half a day.

With a circle of cyan light, Han Li disappeared into the ice crack with an expressionless face.
