"If the Star Palace really perishes, does the Daoist think I can be safe and sound? Moreover, I didn't mean for Brother Han to risk his life against Wan Wan Tianming, just hoping that the Daoist can entangle this person when we take action. This should be something within Brother Han's ability, right?" Ling Ling Yuling frowned and said slowly.

"It's not that it's impossible to entangle this person. But the key is that the other party is also a Great Cultivator. Once a fight starts, whether it's life-risking or not is not something Han can predict. If Daoist Ling agrees in advance that once the other party uses a powerful killing move, I can leave on my own, then I can consider making a move once. Besides, Star Palace perishing and Daoist Ling's own safety are two different things. Even if Star Palace didn't exist, Han could still protect your life. This would fulfill the promise made to your father back then. Otherwise, the conditions exchanged with the Twins back then are not enough to make me take this risk," Han Li said calmly, pointing out the key point in just a few sentences.

Ling Ling Yuling's complexion changed several times.

"Brother Han, judging by your tone, it seems you are not unable to make a move, but need a sufficient price, right?" The old man surnamed Zhao, who hadn't spoken, heard something from Han Li's words, frowned, and asked while stroking his beard.

"Of course, everything in the world has a price. As long as your Palace's conditions are truly enough, it's not impossible for Han to take a great risk," Han Li smiled freely, not hiding it at all.

"Oh, what does Brother Han want?" The purple-robed big man's eyes flashed with strange light, and he also opened his mouth.

"It's not what Han wants, but what your Palace intends to use to make me feel moved," Han Li said with an expressionless look.

The Star Palace elders all had different expressions, and some even moved their lips, directly transmitting sound to each other in the hall.

For Han Li's refusal just now, these old monsters who didn't know how many hundreds of years they had lived didn't feel any annoyance. Even if they were asked to risk their lives against a cultivator of the same stage without any benefits, probably no one would do such a stupid thing. Moreover, this was a struggle between Great Cultivators at the top of the human world, and the risk was far greater than the former.

But to move Han Li, it didn't seem like an easy task. After all, ordinary magic treasures, materials, or even cultivation techniques wouldn't be seen by a Great Cultivator.

Ling Ling Yuling sat in the main seat, looking at the elders whispering in the hall, her jade face uncertain. After a while, she suddenly said with her red lips slightly parted.

"Brother Han's words make sense, but ordinary things, I think Brother Han wouldn't be able to see them. Our Palace will use the Profound Magnetic Divine Light cultivation method and the Profound Magnetic Mountain as conditions for exchange. What does the Daoist think? With the profoundness and wonder of this cultivation method, only a heaven-defying talent like Brother Han is qualified to cultivate it."

This girl unexpectedly said Han Li's most important purpose for this trip in one sentence, which made his expression startle. He looked at Ling Ling Yuling a few times and narrowed his eyes in deep thought.

The other Star Palace elders were also shocked when they heard this, and then looked at each other with strange expressions, unexpectedly no one stood up to oppose it.

Although the Profound Magnetic Divine Light was famous enough, it was also the cultivation method practiced by the Star Twins back then. But the difficulty and drawbacks of cultivating this technique were also well-known, and for ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, it was a bit of a chicken rib. Using this cultivation method and the Profound Magnetic Mountain to exchange for the other party's move gave them no reason to oppose it. Instead, they were a bit worried about whether Han Li would agree to it.

Greatly exceeding their expectations, Han Li didn't think for long before nodding with deep meaning:

"It seems Fairy Ling Yuling has long known what Han wants. I am not a greedy person, so let's exchange on these conditions. I will help you entangle Wan Wan Tianming. Although I can't guarantee I will definitely kill him, I won't easily let him make a move against you."

"Good, our Palace believes Brother Han will never break his word. I will have someone send the Profound Magnetic Divine Light cultivation method to you later, and once the great battle is over, I will present the Profound Magnetic Mountain with both hands," Ling Ling Yuling's jade-like face bloomed with a smile again.

"Since that's the case, Han will wait for Daoist Ling's news. I've also been a bit tired from the journey, so I'll take my leave and rest first," Han Li saw that the matter was settled and didn't want to stay any longer, standing up to take his leave temporarily.

"This is naturally as it should be! Elder Zhao, arrange a quiet room for Brother Han and let him rest well for two days. By the way, Brother Han is a distinguished guest, so I'll trouble Elder Zhao to accompany Brother Han more these few days," Ling Ling Yuling naturally agreed happily, turned her jade neck, and ordered the old man surnamed Zhao kindly.

The white-haired old man understood, bowed slightly to Ling Ling Yuling, and led Han Li out.

Han Li nodded to Ling Ling Yuling, but didn't move his feet immediately. Instead, his gaze turned, and he suddenly looked deeply at the Ximen old man sitting among the elders, blue light flashing in the depths of his pupils, before walking toward the exit of the hall unhurriedly.

That Elder Ximen, after being looked at by Han Li, felt his heart skip a beat, a chill rose on his back, and at the same time, he felt a stinging pain in his spiritual sense, which almost made him jump off his chair. But after Han Li turned and left, this stinging pain in his spiritual sense vanished without a trace, as if it had never happened.

This Elder Ximen was greatly shocked, hurriedly checked his body and spiritual sense several times, but everything was normal, and there was no abnormality. This made the old man feel relieved, but also a bit self-deprecating for being suspicious.

Now that he was in the Star Palace's important place, even if the other party was a Great Cultivator, he wouldn't dare to make a move against him easily. However, this old man also made a decision: after the meeting, he would immediately find a secret place to hide and wait until the great battle began before coming out. During this period, he would never meet Han Li easily again, so as not to suffer a murderous disaster.

After all, that sword strike of his back then had almost taken the other party's life. Now that the other party's supernatural powers far exceeded his own, he estimated it would be very difficult to just let it go.

Cough! If he had known the other party would have such amazing destiny, he would never have provoked the other party back then, or he would have definitely cut the weeds and pulled the roots.

This Elder Ximen sighed to himself, feeling extraordinarily annoyed and regretful.

"Palace Master, does this cultivator surnamed Han really have a way to entangle that Wan Wan Tianming? Where does he come from? Won't there be any problems? Otherwise, what he says sounds nice, but in reality, he's colluding with the Anti-Star Alliance, and when we fight halfway, he suddenly lets go, or even turns against us. We'll be in big trouble. It would be better to rely on the restrictions and guard Star City," the purple-robed big man asked Ling Ling Yuling in a deep voice as soon as Han Li's figure vanished at the hall exit, his face showing suspicion.

"Elder Ma, rest assured. I knew Brother Han before the conditions were set with my father. Although we can't be said to be close, he had a great conflict with those righteous and demonic old monsters of the Anti-Star Alliance because of the Profound Heaven Tripod back then. It's absolutely impossible for him to have any connection with them. As for whether he can really entangle Wan Wan Tianming, I don't think there will be any problems. After all, Brother Han advanced even earlier than Wan Wan Tianming, and he has the Profound Heaven Tripod in his hand. No matter how you look at it, he has a better chance of winning. Besides, apart from this method, do you have any better ideas? Our Star City's protective array, although profound enough, won't be able to hold out for too long under the wind and fire power bombardment day and night. We must decide the outcome in one battle. Either the Anti-Star Alliance vanishes into smoke, or the Star Palace ceases to exist," Ling Ling Yuling said decisively.

"Since the Palace Master has said so, we can only rely on this person!" The purple-robed big man thought for a while, and indeed there was no other way out, so he could only say somewhat unwillingly.

Seeing that the most unruly one among the elders had no objections, Ling Ling Yuling's beautiful face revealed a faint smile, and she said with her red lips slightly parted:

"Next, let's discuss the day of the decisive battle with the other party, and how to attack and break the array set up by the other party..."

In a secluded secret room, Han Li sat cross-legged, pinching a strange magic seal with both hands, his eyes slightly closed.

I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly his expression stirred, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Why, Brother Han has decided to make a move." A light laugh rang in Han Li's ear; it was the voice of the child transformed by the Heaven-Heaven Beast.

"Do you know what I'm doing?" Han Li was expressionless, but his voice sank.

"Although I don't know what secret art you used, the look you gave before leaving the hall clearly used spiritual sense power, leaving a spiritual sense mark on that person. Although this secret art is nothing, with your powerful spiritual sense, how could those cultivators in the stone hall discover your tricks? Brother Han would do this, surely not to go back and find that person to drink and chat, right?" The child laughed.

"Since you've seen it, I have nothing to hide. That person almost took my life back then. Although I'm not a person who cares about trifles, this kind of life-and-death hatred cannot be easily let go. Just now in the Star Palace Holy Hall, it wasn't convenient for me to make a move directly, but now that this person has left the stone hall, I can naturally make a move." Han Li sneered, then patted his storage bag, silver light flashed, and the humanoid puppet appeared silently, then drifted lightly, flashed into the nearby wall, and vanished.

Han Li suddenly stood up, pushed open the nearby secret room door, and walked out.

Passing through a short corridor, Han Li entered a hall. The old man surnamed Zhao was drinking tea on a chair. Seeing Han Li appear, he couldn't help but look surprised.

"Daoist Zhao, you also cultivate a wood-attribute cultivation technique, right? If you don't mind, would you be willing to exchange cultivation insights with Han?" Han Li's mouth curled into a faint smile.

Half a day later, a primordial spirit lamp in a forbidden area of the Star Palace suddenly flickered and went out. This gave the Star Palace disciples guarding the lamps a big fright, and they hurriedly reported the matter upward.

Immediately, the Star Palace was in chaos. Only a meal's time later, several Star Palace elders broke into the cave dwelling of that Elder Ximen and broke into a secret room.

A few hours ago, the disciples in the cave dwelling had seen the old man enter it with their own eyes.

But now, it was empty inside, and there wasn't a single shadow of a person.

This Elder Ximen had perished eerily like this, and there was no place to find his corpse.
