Chapter 1434: Tianpeng Holy Son and Kunpeng True Blood

"Black Underworld Mist."

Han Li's brain flashed with inspiration, and he finally realized why he felt familiar. (Net)

The black mist seeping from the surface of the giant tower was exactly the strange mist in the fog sea that existed on the peninsula where he lived.

It was just that the one emitted here was extremely thin, as if it were strictly bound by something.

Han Li was somewhat surprised, but since this place was regarded as a forbidden area by the Tianpeng people, he naturally wouldn't deliberately provoke anything.

He immediately learned from others, turned his escape light, and planned to bypass it from nearby.

But when Han Li flashed past one side of the giant tower a few hundred feet away, suddenly a terrifying aura erupted from the tower.

It made the cold air on his back rise, and his figure froze for a moment.

This is... 【1434

Han Li stopped his flying light, turned his head, and stared fixedly at the giant tower.

He saw that the black nether mist emitted by the giant tower in the distance had somehow turned into a pitch-black, thick state. Although the symbols on the surface of the tower wall were constantly flashing with various spiritual lights, they still could not stop the black Qi from surging out wildly.

Fortunately, the seven-colored light screen emitted from the top of the tower trapped all this black Qi within a certain range near the stone tower. But after a short while, the black mist filled all the space within the light screen, causing the seven-colored light screen to tremble and shake, looking as if it were about to be burst at any moment.

Other Heavenly Peng people passing by nearby were also dumbfounded, all stopping in mid-air to watch the strange change happening at the Spirit Sealing Tower.

Han Li felt his pair of feathered wings suddenly tremble and become extremely hot, causing a scorching, stinging pain on his back.

Han Li's expression changed drastically.

Just at this moment, a high-pitched, long cry erupted from the tower. Upon hearing this cry, hundreds of Heavenly Peng people nearby actually closed their eyes one after another and fell from the sky.

Although Han Li was not so pathetic, upon hearing this sound, he only felt his spiritual sense become a blur. At the same time, the hot wings on his back instantly lost their effectiveness, and his figure swayed.

But fortunately, he did not truly rely on these Wind-Thunder Wings to fly in the air. Immediately, a flash of green light appeared on his body, and he stabilized his figure again. But the gaze he directed toward the giant tower was already filled with horror.

With a loud "boom," the crystal light at the top of the giant tower shone brightly, and the seven-colored light screen flared up. At the same time, bursts of obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations came from the tower, as if hundreds of people were chanting the formula at the same time.

Immediately, a flash of spiritual light appeared on the bodies of those Heavenly Peng people who had originally fallen, and a seven-colored light shield appeared on each of them, causing their figures to float up again.

But immediately after, a shrill, sharp cry came from the tower. After the black Qi inside rolled for a while, a huge bird shadow several hundred zhang large appeared in the sky above. This phantom was entirely pale black. As its wings flapped, it covered the upper half of the entire stone tower. After another long cry, all the black mist rose by more than double, and the surrounding seven-colored light screen immediately twisted violently; the momentum was truly astonishing.

This time, with the seven-colored light screen protecting them, the other Heavenly Peng people only swayed a little and were safe and sound. But in their terror, they naturally scattered and fled in all directions.

Han Li had originally wanted to fly away from the vicinity immediately like the other Heavenly Peng people, but the moment that huge bird shadow appeared, the wings on his back trembled, and a green giant bird phantom actually appeared as well. It also raised its head and let out a clear cry, as if it were echoing the black bird.

And at the same time, the nearby air tightened. He only felt his body sink, and he was unable to move his body in the slightest.

Han Li was greatly alarmed in his heart. As golden light flared, a giant force surged out from his limbs, wanting to break free. But what made his heart sink immediately was that no matter how wildly he urged the giant force in his body, the surrounding air felt as if it were cast from refined steel; he still couldn't move even a small finger.

As Han Li's thoughts raced, he was considering whether to summon his True Demon Dharma Body to break the binding with all his might when the incantation sound in the stone tower suddenly changed, becoming more than twice as high and clear. From within the incantation, there were faint rumbling sounds of wind and thunder. Following this, strange runes drifted and appeared in the void near the giant tower, all drifting toward the black bird shadow.

At the same time, the giant crystal at the top of the tower also exploded on its own with a "boom."

A seven-colored sun rose slowly, suddenly emitting ten thousand rays of light, covering the bird shadow beneath it.

Under the dual restriction of the runes and the seven-colored light, the giant bird phantom finally let out a strange cry and dissipated helplessly.

On the other side, the green giant bird phantom behind Han Li also flashed and disappeared.

The pressure around him eased, and he regained his freedom. But his heart was filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

Except for the size, the phantom that had just appeared on the stone tower was exactly the same as the green bird phantom behind him. Both were the legendary appearance of the Kun Peng. Could it be that a Kun Peng was sealed in this tower? But how could this be possible?

Han Li thought in horror, wanting to run away immediately, but after sweeping his gaze forward, he gave a bitter smile and finally kept his figure in place.

Because more than a dozen groups of spiritual light had already flown out from the giant tower, and after a few flashes, they were already less than a few dozen zhang away from him.

This distance was enough for the Heavenly Peng people in the spiritual light to see him clearly. If he were to flee now, it would look like he had a guilty conscience.

After thinking it over, Han Li could only stay and see what the other party's intentions were.

He swept his gaze hurriedly over the incoming spiritual light and saw that there were two existences at the late-stage of the Spirit Severing stage, and the rest were also at the early-to-mid stages of the Spirit Severing stage. Being wary, Han Li did not dare to make any rash moves that might cause a misunderstanding. He just hovered quietly in the air without moving.

With a few "sou-sou" sounds of breaking through the air, these dozen or so people flapped their wings and arrived in front of Han Li in an instant, surrounding him tightly.

A dozen gazes fell upon him all at once.

Among the two leading Heavenly Peng people who looked like old men, one had a pair of white wings on his back, while the other had pale golden wings.

Both of them, one with a kind and amiable face and the other with a dignified and upright appearance, stared fixedly at Han Li as soon as they arrived, just like the others, with strange lights flashing in their eyes.

Although Han Li was not truly afraid of these Heavenly Peng people, the other party's appearance still made him mutter in his heart. He immediately forced a smile and asked:

"Fellow Daoists, you have surrounded me; is there something you need?"

"What is your name, brother? Your face is very unfamiliar. Are you a clansman who has recently entered the Holy City?" Contrary to Han Li's expectations, the white-winged old man spoke with unusual politeness.

"My surname is Han. I have been cultivating overseas and only just entered the city today." Han Li's thoughts raced, and he replied.

As long as the other party did not show malice, he did not think it was necessary to use any lies.

"Overseas, entered the city today!" Han Li's answer startled the two leading old men, but after looking at each other, their eyes revealed a look of great joy.

"Good, very good. Regardless of where Brother Han comes from, being able to trigger the Kun Peng Spirit in the tower shows that your Heavenly Peng aura is sufficiently full. You can accept the title of Holy Son of our clan and inherit the true blood of the Kun Peng," the other old man said solemnly.

"True blood of the Kun Peng!" Han Li was truly stunned.

If it were before, he wouldn't have understood these things very well, but now that he had the true blood of the True Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix stored in his storage bracelet, he naturally understood the rarity of such things better than anyone.

Now that such a good thing had come to his door, Han Li was naturally a bit dazed.

However, upon second thought, Han Li felt guilty.

He was not a true Heavenly Peng person; how could he really be the so-called Holy Son of the Heavenly Peng clan? If they investigated carefully, he would probably be exposed immediately. By then, not to mention inheriting any true blood, he would first be killed by the countless enraged Heavenly Peng people.

"The two of you must have made a mistake. My background is extremely ordinary; how could I be qualified to inherit the true blood? The strange phenomenon in the tower was not triggered by me either." Han Li gave a dry laugh and shook his head repeatedly to deny it.

"Brother Han, why push it away? We all saw the True Spirit phantom you manifested just now clearly in the tower; we absolutely cannot be mistaken. Brother Han, you had better come with us to see the Elders. Being able to become a Holy Son of our clan is a great event for the clan." The golden-winged old man did not listen to Han Li's explanation at all and said with a smile.

Han Li secretly groaned. As he turned his gaze, he saw that the other Heavenly Peng people all had excited expressions, clearly having already accepted him.

"I am truly not any Holy Son; believe me or not. But I have urgent matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first." Han Li hardened his heart, gave two quick explanations, and as his figure blurred, he ghost-like flashed out from between the two Heavenly Peng people as a faint phantom.

He moved the wings on his back, intending to use his divine abilities to escape far away. But just at this moment, a faint voice transmission from a woman suddenly reached his ears.

"Wait, alien! Do you really intend to leave like this? If you want to leave, you must leave that pair of wings on your back within our Heavenly Peng clan." The voice was not loud, and it was gentle and pleasant, but when Han Li heard it, it was like a thunderclap, causing his spiritual sense to shake and his expression to turn exceptionally ugly.

At the same time this voice transmission appeared, the nearby space fluctuated suddenly. A few zhang above Han Li's head, a slender figure flashed out from the void without a sound; it was actually a white-robed young girl with golden wings on her back.

After Han Li looked carefully, he gasped.

This young girl, who looked ordinary in appearance, had a luster flickering on her face, and her aura was restrained. Han Li could not see the depth of her cultivation at all; she was actually an existence at the mid-stage of the Body Integration stage or higher.

The corners of Han Li's eyes twitched wildly!

"Greetings, Great Elder!" Those Spirit Severing-stage Heavenly Peng people, upon seeing the young girl, were all exceptionally respectful and bowed in a grand ceremony.

This girl was actually the Great Elder of the Heavenly Peng clan!

Han Li only felt that his mouth was full of bitterness.

"I will handle this person; you all return to the tower to reinforce the seal and soothe the Kun Peng Holy Spirit again." The young girl ordered calmly.

"As you command!" Clearly, the young girl had great prestige in the hearts of these Heavenly Peng people. Without the slightest hesitation, they flapped their wings and flew back toward the giant tower.

And the young girl turned her gaze and finally landed on Han Li.
