Chapter 1216

"You know me?" Han Li was a little surprised. WM net

In the "Chaos" Star Sea, although he knew a few female cultivators, aside from Ling Yuling, there seemed to be no one else above the Nascent Soul level.

"Are you Han Li? Back in the Xuantian Hall, this lady saw you once. Later I heard you obtained that Xuantian Cauldron—unexpectedly, you not only escaped the pursuit of those old monsters, but your cultivation has advanced so remarkably."

"You... you are Lady Wen?" Upon hearing the other party mention the Xuantian Hall, and recognizing the familiar voice, Han Li's mind flashed with insight—he suddenly recalled someone, and asked uncertainly.

"I didn't expect you, Daoist friend, still remember this old one." The female cultivator Nascent Soul then let out a long sigh.

Upon hearing the other party openly admit it, Han Li's face was full of astonishment!

This female cultivator Nascent Soul was actually the Lady Wen he had seen once in the main hall when he first entered the Xuantian Hall. Although her cultivation was not low at the time, she had only entered the Xuantian Hall to gather a few spiritual herbs, and left midway on her own.

But because the other party seemed related to the Six Paths, he remembered it very clearly.

"If I'm not mistaken, Lady Wen, you seem to be the dual cultivation partner of the Six Paths!" Han Li asked in surprise and doubt.

"Dual cultivation partner? Have you ever seen someone imprison their partner's Nascent Soul in a magic treasure? However, Han Daoist! Did that old thief Six Paths really get exterminated by you?" Lady Wen let out a resentful snort, still somewhat doubtful as she asked.

Upon hearing Lady Wen's words, Han Li smiled faintly, and without another word, pointed lightly with one hand toward a certain spot.

Lady Wen's Nascent Soul was startled for a moment, then followed the direction of his finger.

Only then did she discover that not far away, a huge block of purplish misty ice was floating in midair, and within the ice lay a frozen corpse—exactly the half-body left behind by the Six Paths Extreme Sage.

At the same time, the originally tightly gripping green-colored large hand that had seized the Nascent Soul flashed with spiritual light a few times, then vanished into thin air.

Lady Wen's Nascent Soul temporarily regained freedom.

"Surely it's this old thief! Good riddance—I never expected you, after all your scheming, to actually get ahead of me!" Upon regaining movement, the Nascent Soul hastily flew over, circling the purple ice block several times before throwing back its head and letting out an extremely mournful laugh.

Han Li frowned slightly. Although he didn't know exactly what had happened to cause the Six Paths and this Lady Wen to become enemies, he also had no interest in hearing more. Immediately turning his thoughts, he began to consider how to deal with the other party.

The laughter in the Nascent Soul's mouth finally gradually ceased, then the gaze swept over, discovering afterward a look of contemplation, and then directly said:

"Han Daoist, no need to trouble yourself. I have been imprisoned in the magic treasure for too long; my Nascent Soul is already extremely weak and cannot seize rebirth. I must immediately let my Nascent Soul dissipate on its own to have any chance of reincarnation. Han Daoist, you have avenged my great grudge—I am truly grateful, but with your current divine powers, I have nothing to repay you with. I can only hope that in the next life, I may repay your great kindness."

After saying this, the Nascent Soul suddenly slapped its own Tianling Gai with one hand.

A burst of piercing red light erupted, immediately enveloping the Nascent Soul from head to toe. Then the Nascent Soul shattered inch by inch within the red light, and finally vanished completely before Han Li's eyes.

Han Li witnessed this scene and was stunned!

I didn't expect Lady Wen's temperament to be so fierce—without saying more than a couple of sentences to me, she self-destructed. She seemed unwilling to mention what exactly happened, ending up in such a fate?

But no need to guess—later one could imagine that between them there must have been some great secret too shameful to speak of. Otherwise, she wouldn't have self-destructed so decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

Although somewhat gloomy, it's actually good that this woman self-destructed this way. Otherwise, how to deal with her would still have given him quite a headache.

Han Li shook his head, let out a light sigh, then raised his hand to draw the green-colored small bottle back into his grasp, storing it into his storage bag.

Next, a golden-colored electric arc struck the purple ice block, shattering the entire huge ice mass. The old demon's corpse thus turned into specks of lustrous light, vanishing together with the ice fragments.

But the storage bag left behind by the old demon—Han Li naturally took it without hesitation.

After a brief sweep of his divine sense inside, although there seemed to be a few treasures, to his current standards they were not particularly impressive. Instead, some demonic path cultivation manuals remained inside, which piqued his interest somewhat. But unfortunately, after a brief look, the Six Extremes True Demon Skill he most cared about was not among them.

After finishing with all this, Han Li beckoned to the humanoid puppet, which then straightaway rushed toward the distant bone banner. Meanwhile, another "Han Li" flickered once and mysteriously vanished again in midair.

At that moment, by the bone banner, five ghost heads had already devoured three skulls cleanly, and now they were even devouring the bone banner itself—seven-eighths gone.

Han Li arrived at the scene, saw this sight, shook his head, and said nothing.

Although this bone banner had some background, its murderous aura was too strong and not really suitable for him. Therefore, although he had noticed the Five Demons' movements from the start, he had no intention of stopping them in the slightest.

After a moment, the Five Demons finally gnawed the entire bone banner clean, then the five ghost heads let out wuu-wuu strange cries, seeming extremely delighted, while their demonic aura grew somewhat stronger.

Han Li silently watched this scene, his expression unchanged, but after the Five Demons' strange cries subsided, he then made a hand seal with one hand and directed it toward the Five Demons.

Although the Five Demons were somewhat unwilling, having suffered several times from the pain of the restriction, they dared not resist and flew over, obediently lying prone beside Han Li.

Han Li did not linger there; he had no intention of immediately putting them away, but instead calmly transformed into a streak of green light flying toward Feng Tianxing City, with the Five Demons immediately following on a demonic wind.

His battle with the old demon did not take long—just about the time of a meal—before the outcome was decided.

If even Feng Tianxing City could not withstand such a short time before collapsing completely, Han Li would absolutely turn and leave, too lazy to bother further.

This shows Feng Tianxing City is fundamentally not worth his effort to assist!

Fortunately, things turned out roughly as he had expected.

When Han Li brought the Five Demons back to the vicinity of the eye of the Wind Fire Heaven-Extinguishing Grand Formation, thousands of cultivators from the Star Palace and the Nixing Alliance were spread across tens of li, locked in fierce combat, with arrows flying wildly.

Actually, to be precise, it should be said that the Nixing Alliance side had a slight advantage.

Because those so-called Lan Clan Twin Demons were truly ferocious! Wherever their blue demonic energy and pink fragrant mist passed, all Star Palace cultivators were forced to retreat step by step. The Zhao-surnamed elder and the purple-robed burly man who had originally faced off against the two demons clearly had inferior divine powers compared to the Twin Demons, and could only offer minor restraint from the side—truly unable to do anything against the Twin Demons.

As for those lower-level cultivators, upon contact with the blue energy and fragrant mist, they either immediately screamed as their skin split and flesh rotted, or collapsed outright as if drunk.

Thus, the Twin Demons' demonic flames became even more blazing.

Amidst such chaos, when Han Li silently flew back, no one noticed him.

Han Li first glanced at the huge fire pillar, then his gaze fell upon the strikingly unusual Lan Clan Twin Demons, let out a cold laugh, and his face showed a stern expression.

Without another word, he pointed at the Twin Demons—immediately, the five ghosts beside him let out a low roar, then transformed into five streams of gray-white energy that shot straight forward.

Then Han Li unhesitatingly slapped his spirit beast pouch, and a golden-colored insect cloud flew out, circled once, and hovered above his head.

Han Li raised his hand and cast a spell, let out a low shout, and the insect cloud buzzed loudly. With a "Boom," it transformed into over a dozen slightly smaller golden clouds, scattering in all directions across the battlefield.

After Han Li finished casting, the wind and thunder wings on his back trembled, and he vanished into thin air within a light breeze.

At the huge copper pillar, although the Nixing Alliance Nascent Soul cultivators had already taken action, several Core Formation cultivators still remained on top of the pillar, guarding it to prevent the Star Palace side from sneaking in and destroying the formation's eye.

These people stood on the pillar, whispering nonstop. Seeing the Nixing Alliance side gradually gaining the upper hand, their faces involuntarily showed expressions of joy.

One of them, a middle-aged cultivator dressed like a scholar, turned around, wanting to say something to another cultivator, but when his gaze swept over the empty space behind him, his face "swished" and turned deathly pale.

The cultivators nearby, seeing this scene, naturally startled, also turned their heads to look.

Immediately, several cries of alarm rang out.

Because in the empty space just over ten zhang behind the pillar, a youth floated soundlessly, arms crossed, face showing a half-smile, not-quite-smile expression.

And this youth was clearly the senior cultivator from the Star Palace side who had previously left together with their alliance leader—how could he appear here alone?

A chill rose behind these Core Formation cultivators! But before they could decide whether to flee or cry out for help to other Nascent Soul cultivators, Han Li's face suddenly darkened, and the fingers hidden in his sleeve suddenly flicked several times.

Instantly, several strands of golden sword qi shot out!

With this strike, several Core Formation cultivators were greatly startled and hastily moved their bodies, attempting to transform into escape light and flee.

However, after the piercing golden light flashed several times, wherever the sword qi passed, these people were one after another pierced through the body and killed. Not a single one managed to escape.

Those who tried to block with magic treasures were even more so— their treasures were shattered along with them, utterly ineffective.

Han Li, relying on the sword qi unleashed by his current Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, in terms of sharpness, is truly not inferior to top-tier magic treasures. Even Nascent Soul cultivators would probably not dare to recklessly meet it head-on, let alone mere Core Formation cultivators.

In one breath, he cleanly slew these Core Formation cultivators, his expression unchanged, merely glancing faintly at the heavenly-reaching giant pillar before him. His sleeve suddenly trembled, and a clear ringing sound rang out.

Dozens of golden small swords flew out from his sleeve, swimming like fish, then instantly expanded to several feet in length, and simultaneously converged in midair.

With a burst of golden light, a golden sword several zhang in length suddenly appeared hovering above the copper pillar.
