Chapter 1313

Han Li saw this scene, his eyes swept over, and landed on the surface of the pond in the middle.

Apart from being a bit clearer, the pond was completely ordinary, really nothing strange to be seen.

When Han Li was feeling puzzled, the Blue City Lord sized up the three unfamiliar black-and-thin old men opposite, and suddenly asked:

"I heard the Silver Moon Wolf Clan has a three-headed mutant wolf demon, who, with the help of a person of great supernatural powers in the clan, separately cultivated the three skulls into three avatars. Each one has the cultivation of a perfected Nascent Soul. With the three avatars joining forces, they can match a Spirit Transformation stage existence. Could it be you?"

Upon hearing the Blue City Lord's words, the three black-and-thin youths all laughed, and immediately one spoke up:

"Didn't expect our brothers' fame to have spread here. Not bad, we are that three-headed moon wolf. And we have also long heard of the City Lord's great name; how about a friendly exchange?"

"Hmph, this old man currently has no time for these things. Fellow Daoist Xiao, you ran into the valley alone—what are your plans?" The Blue City Lord did not take the black-and-thin youth's provocation, but instead turned to the 'widow' and questioned.

"What plans? Didn't Senior Huan just say that the Spirit Race people are entering the pond to seize people, so naturally we should come over immediately to stop him?" The palace-attired 'widow' gave a light smile.

"Is that so, Fellow Daoist Xiao being so thoughtful. Good, Fellow Daoist, please continue forward. I, Blue, will lead the others to guard outside the pond and block the Spirit Race people—how about that?" The Blue City Lord stared at the 'widow' for a while, then glanced at the pond, and said with a hehe laugh.

The palace-attired 'widow' was startled, but her gaze swept over the Blue City Lord's side, the head monk, and those several Nascent Soul cultivators, and she let out a light, giggling laugh.

"If Fellow Daoist hadn't come, I might have brought people in! But since Blue Brother has arrived, the opportunity should naturally be given to Blue Brother. Fellow Daoist wouldn't really want to let a weak woman go down below, would you? Besides, I've long heard Blue Brother has a piece of water-repelling jade rhino horn, miraculous beyond compare, which might be very useful for entering the Scorching Light Pond."

"Let me go, that's fine. You take the others and immediately retreat from Chaos Valley; this old man will go down now." The Blue City Lord's face sank, his words becoming extremely stiff.

Upon hearing the Blue City Lord speak so bluntly, the palace-attired 'widow' slightly changed her 'expression', gave a cold snort, and then said nothing more.

This person naturally, like the two, would not truly yield at this moment.

The Blue City Lord, however, moved his lips slightly and was transmitting sound to the old head monk, his gaze toward the opposite 'widow' gradually turning unfriendly.

Opposite, aside from the 'widow' and the three black-and-thin youths, there were only another three human-form demon cultivators.

And aside from the Blue City Lord and the head monk, there were still seven or eight human Nascent Soul cultivators, clearly holding a slight advantage.

At this point, with no one else coming over, it was obvious others had truly been entangled by the Spirit Race people. In the short term, neither side would have reinforcements.

As long as one could first seize the item, the so-called equal-sharing agreement would naturally not be observed by anyone.

Because everyone clearly knows, the previous agreement was merely something both sides wanted to find—a step down without losing face.

The palace-attired 'widow' sensed the humans' eagerness to move, raised her dark eyebrows, and also used a secret technique to remind her own people here, and her sleeve-tossing jade hand shook, and an object fell into her palm.

The atmosphere was extremely tense, both sides on the verge of eruption!

Suddenly, the ground near the pond trembled violently, the originally abnormally calm pond water suddenly began to churn violently, and then strand after strand of 'milk' white 'color' light threads shot out from the water in all directions, some shooting straight up, some directly toward the people and demons at the pond's edge.

The nearby rocks, upon being struck by these dense light threads, immediately were pierced through with bee-hive-like small holes.

After the two sides were greatly startled, they all either displayed supernatural powers or released treasures to block the light threads.

At this moment, the originally extremely clear pond water below gave rise to a layer of blinding, dazzling light, as if a proud sun had emerged below, slowly rising from beneath the pond water. As the pond water churned, it actually emitted waves of scorching, unbearable heat, as if the entire pond in the white light was boiling and bubbling over.

"What's going on—could it be the Spirit Race people below causing trouble?" Han Li, hiding in the air, peeking down at everything below, was first similarly 'driven' into a flustered frenzy by those light threads, and then upon seeing the anomaly in the pond water, couldn't help but startle.

Not only him, but the 'widow' and Blue City Lord and others also similarly muttered to themselves in secret.

"Wrong, the Scorching Light can only hide in water—how could it leave the water surface? Could it be…?" The Blue City Lord obviously knew this pond better, lost his voice in explaining something.

"】 But before he could finish speaking, more than a dozen water-tank-thick white 'color' light pillars burst through the air and shot out; once they left the water surface, the light pillars strangely suddenly bent, then shot straight at the nearby people and demons, all together, with incredible speed, almost arriving in an instant.

This unpreventable sneak attack left both peoples unable to react in time, and they immediately suffered great losses.

Except for the 'widow' and Blue City Lord, these few with profound cultivation who displayed secret techniques to escape, aside from the black-and-thin youths not knowing what technique they displayed, the human-form demon cultivators and Nascent Soul-level cultivators, upon the light pillars touching them, instantly vanished without a trace, not even a trace left. Whether it was body-protection arts or protective treasures, they all seemed to have no effect at all.

Seeing this scene, the shock and anger of the palace-attired 'widow' and others can be imagined, but before they could figure out what exactly had happened below the pond, a booming sound rang out, and five yellow 'color' pillars suddenly burst from the ground around the pond, their faces inscribed with some indiscernible patterns.

The human Nascent Soul cultivators were the most numerous, and naturally not a few of those who had just died tragically.

These people were mostly the Blue City Lord's confidants and disciples, making him extremely furious. Now, upon seeing these strange pillars rise from underground, they still didn't know that what had just happened was definitely related to these things, and immediately let out a loud shout:

"What demon dares to use such vicious means?"

Immediately he 'rubbed' his heavenly spirit cover, and suddenly a "susu" sound arose, five blue 'color' small swords shot out, and in a flash, they all transformed into huge swords several zhang in size.

"Slash" the Blue City Lord sternly uttered..

The five huge swords flashed, and turned into five streaks of startling rainbows shooting straight at the five yellow pillars, and ended up flying rapidly around the base of the pillars, making several loops.

After a series of "boom boom boom" sounds, the pillars were cut in two, leaving only a ring of shallow sword marks on the surface.

The Blue City Lord's pupils contracted, he quickly made a hand seal, and hurriedly recalled the five huge swords.

At this moment, from the sword marks on the pillar surfaces, gushes of green 'color' 'liquid' sprayed out, emitting an extremely strange fishy odor.

The Blue City Lord then let the huge swords hover uncertainly above his head, his gaze swept over the five yellow pillars, and the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch a few times.

The power of these few flying swords of his, naturally only he himself knows best.

Normally, don't mention one pillar—even a small mountain could be easily split with one sword.

But speaking of it, these pillars really seem off—on the surface they actually seem to have a certain 'elasticity', like living things.

Seeing the Blue City Lord's attempt fail, the palace-attired 'widow' in low altitude also had her face full of doubtful expression.

A low, humming sound came from beneath the pond, as if someone were moaning, or as if someone had just barely awakened.

As this strange sound was emitted, the originally five pillars suddenly became still. But beneath the pond water, a huge light ball ten zhang in diameter shot out.

This ball's entire body flashed with white light, but at its center was a golden, radiant, spherical object, about the size of a head.

"Luoyang Crystal"

Upon seeing the thing inside the light ball, the head monk behind the Blue City Lord suddenly cried out. But as soon as these words left his mouth, he immediately regretted it, and without thinking, his form leapt, transforming into a white rainbow that shot straight for this treasure.

Upon hearing the words "Luoyang Crystal", the 'widow' and the three black-and-thin youths were stunned for a moment, then immediately showed joyful 'color'.

After a coquettish shout, the 'widow' spun her form, turning into a black 'color' fire phoenix that shot straight for the object. And the three black-and-thin youths suddenly converged toward the middle, transforming into a thick silver light that closely followed.

The Blue City Lord, for some unknown reason, actually stood in place with a hesitant face and did not act.

Hidden in the high air, Han Li's eyes flickered a few times, but he also took no action.

His purpose in this trip was very simple—just for the divine blood. Other things, no matter how precious, would not make him recklessly act and expose his whereabouts.

The movements of the 'widow' and other demon cultivators were obviously one beat slower than the head monk's.

The head monk's white rainbow was about to plunge into the white light, to seize the "Luoyang Crystal" in one go.

At this very moment, an abrupt change occurred.

A huge invisible suction force suddenly appeared around the light sphere, causing the corpse cultivator's figure to freeze.

Before he could react in shock and urgently mobilize his magic power to resist, several strange silver 'colored' talismans appeared on his robe, and then the corpse cultivator's body trembled and was sucked into the boiling pool water, disappearing without a trace.

Only the light sphere remained floating motionless in the air.

The young 'married' woman and the three black-and-thin youths who had also been shot over were naturally startled, and they hastily performed a spinning evasion of light that shot back, flying all the way back to the edge of the pool in one breath, before looking at the pool again with horrified eyes.

At that moment, the Blue City Lord beside him seemed to have seen something, his 'color' changing abruptly to an extremely ugly expression.

At this time, another rumbling sound came from the other side of the pool, followed by five more yellow 'colored' pillars, identical to the previous ones, rising up.

Following that, a roar like thunder began to emanate from the pool, growing louder and louder, and becoming more and more like...

The pool water and the ten yellow pillars trembled more and more violently in the roar.

The Blue City Lord suddenly turned around, transforming into a blue rainbow that shot straight toward the valley mouth, and after a few flashes, disappeared into the thick 'confusion' mist.

This action of his startled both Han Li and the palace-dressed young 'married' woman, but Han Li frowned and his figure began to float and sway upward into the high sky.

The palace-dressed young 'married' woman and the three black-and-thin youths exchanged a glance, yet still remained in place with solemn expressions.

As a result, the pool water in the pond began to rotate at extreme speed, instantly forming a huge vortex.

At the same time, the ten pillars simultaneously bent downward from their midsections, then simultaneously pushed upward, and suddenly rose another ten or so zhang in height.

At the same time, the ground cracked open, soil rolled, and two huge beasts burst out of the earth from both sides of the pool.

Han Li, who was flying upward, happened to glance downward.

Upon clearly seeing the true forms of the two objects, he was stunned speechless.
