Chapter 1485: Seeing Yuan Yao Again (Part 1)

"Hehe, actually it's nothing. I am very curious about how Brother Han cultivated his physical body to be so powerful. You must know, although my Blood River Underworld Needle is not a treasure known for its sharpness, it is truly unbelievable that it could be bounced away by physical strength alone." Blood Poison's voice paused, and he asked this.

At the same time, the demon stared at Han Li, not blinking his eyelids.

"So Senior wanted to ask about this. This junior's physical body is indeed stronger than ordinary people. But it was just because I had a little opportunity years ago and took a few spirit medicines that strengthened the physical body. How could it be comparable to Senior's dragon body?" Han Li replied calmly.

"Spirit medicines! I guessed as much. But the three-headed, six-armed dharma image that Brother Han used to take my final strike doesn't seem to be a true spirit dharma image of your tribe. It looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before, but I can't recall it for a moment. Can Brother Han give Blood a hint?" Blood Poison said with a light laugh.

"Oh, that is a cultivation method of a foreign tribe that this junior obtained by accident. After cultivating it messily, I gained a small divine ability. As for what kind of dharma image it is, this junior doesn't know either." Han Li replied lightly, saying everything vaguely. The answer was almost no different from not answering.

Hearing Han Li speak so smoothly, Blood Poison was somewhat surprised, but laughed and didn't mention this matter, continuing to urge Han Li to drink.

Just like this, this high-tier Spirit Severing blood flood dragon drank until he seemed dead drunk before staggering away.

Han Li stood at the window of the pavilion, his smile fading as he looked at the situation outside.

Only to see Blood Poison staggering into another pavilion not far from Han Li's residence, only a few hundred zhang away.

Han Li frowned.

At such a close distance, any movement he made couldn't escape the surveillance of this blood flood dragon. It seemed this was the person Mu Qing had sent to monitor him.

Han Li thought silently and left the window.

At this time, the green-clad maid had already cleared the banquet and tidied up the pavilion. Then she stood respectfully to one side, waiting for Han Li's instructions.

"You go down first, I want to rest for a while." Han Li didn't stand on ceremony and waved his hand to let her go.

"Yes, Mr. Han. This small maid will be on the first floor, ready to listen to Mr.'s summons at any time." The green-clad maid agreed and retreated from this floor very obediently.

Han Li looked indifferently at the maid's figure disappearing at the stairs and flicked his hand toward the storage bracelet.

Instantly, after a flash of light, a stack of green formation flags appeared in his palm.

With another wave of his hand, more than a dozen green lights flew toward the four walls of the room, vanishing into the void in a flash.

Han Li formed a seal, and a green magic art was cast.

With a muffled "bang," a layer of cyan light screen appeared out of thin air on the four walls of the room, forming a sealed barrier.

This restriction didn't have any defensive capability, but it was quite miraculous in cutting off others' divine sense.

Even though he knew he was practically under house arrest, Han Li didn't want his every move to be easily exposed to others.

In the other pavilion, Blood Poison was sitting cross-legged on a cushion with his eyes slightly closed. His expression moved, and he opened his eyes, but a sneer immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth before he closed them again.

At this time, Han Li had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Although he was in a dangerous place, the Saint Child trial of the previous period had consumed a lot of his mental energy, so he just happened to take this opportunity to recover.

After his body and mind recovered to their peak, he would carefully ponder how to escape.

Thinking this in his heart, Han Li soon fell into a deep sleep.

He slept for a full day and night before slowly waking up.

Getting up from the bed, Han Li stretched unhurriedly, sat on a wooden chair by the bed, and sat quietly, chin in hand, pondering.

As for what Mu Qing and Blood Poison had said about wanting to borrow his strength, he didn't believe it at all.

Not to mention anything else, with his many years of fighting experience, how could he have missed the murderous aura they brought when they chased him? It was clear they had murderous intent from the beginning and wanted to take his life.

As for why Mu Qing suddenly changed her mind, the other party must have discovered something in him that could be utilized.

Now that he thought about it carefully, the time from when they caught up to him to when they changed their minds and brought him here was actually an extremely short moment.

Mu Qing had only said a sentence or two in total, only mentioning the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder! Could it be because of this divine thunder...

Han Li's gaze flashed. He felt that his guess should be eighty or ninety percent correct.

However, although the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder had miraculous effects in warding off demons and evil, if the demon energy and evil arts were powerful to a certain extent, they naturally couldn't be easily broken. How could such a level of power be seen by an Earth Abyss Demon King like Mu Qing? If even they couldn't deal with the demonic objects or evil spirits, the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder would be even more ineffective.

Han Li was puzzled again.

However, he didn't go into a dead end on this matter and let out a long sigh.

Since he had found that he truly had something the other party needed to utilize, he should be safe for the time being. As long as he was alert, he still had a great deal of confidence in escaping this place.

Below, he just had to wait for the demon woman Mu Qing to clarify this matter with him, and then act according to the situation.

Thinking silently in his heart, Han Li felt relieved for the time being.

As for the thought of escaping now, although it had flashed through his mind, thinking of Blood Poison monitoring him nearby, he had to give up completely.

His thoughts changed, and he thought of Lei Lan and the others.

Since Mu Qing and the blood flood dragon had chased after him, they should be able to return to the ground smoothly and complete the trial. In this way, he could be considered to have fulfilled the Heavenly Peng Tribe's heavy trust and regained his freedom. The Heavenly Peng Tribe couldn't use the Heavenly Peng Oath to constrain him anymore.

However, thinking about it, as long as Lei Lan and the others could pass the trial, the Heavenly Peng Tribe wouldn't really care about the life or death of this temporary Saint Child.

Han Li laughed and sat cross-legged on the bed, starting to practice.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye!

During this period, Blood Poison visited from time to time to chat and drink with Han Li, while Han Li stayed in his residence all day without going out, behaving exceptionally honestly.

It wasn't until a day half a month later that Blood Poison suddenly found him in high spirits and said solemnly:

"Brother Han, the Master invites you to the Wood Immortal Hall. She wants to introduce you to a few other seniors."

"Good, thank you for your trouble, Senior Blood." Han Li didn't show any strangeness and replied calmly.

Seeing Han Li's calm appearance, Blood Poison felt a bit of admiration in his heart.

He asked himself that if he were in Han Li's situation, he would absolutely not be able to maintain such composure.

Thus, after Blood Poison laughed, he took Han Li and headed out of the pavilion.

After a meal's time, Han Li appeared in front of the wooden hall again and entered the hall door with Blood Poison.

The hall was very different from when Han Li came last time. There were three more long tables on both sides of the hall, and three groups of people were sitting at the tables.

Han Li's gaze flashed, and he examined them one by one.

One table only had two people, both covered by a blood-colored long robe, their figures and auras exactly the same, completely indistinguishable from each other, as if one person had split into two.

Another table only had a man with an exceptionally tall figure wearing a pitch-black cloak, emitting a cold aura that seemed to make people retreat three feet, as if it could freeze the nearby air.

The last group was three women.

One was a middle-aged beautiful woman with snow-white hair and a bloodless face, wearing a green palace dress, sitting behind the table. Behind her stood two young women in their prime.

One was petite, with a sweet round face, her eyes flowing with charm, looking exceptionally touching.

The other had a graceful figure and snow-white skin, but her expression was exceptionally cold. Like the beautiful woman, the faces of these two women were somewhat strangely pale.

The first two tables were fine. Although Han Li was surprised that these existences had unfathomable cultivation, he didn't show any strangeness. But when he saw the two young women at the last table, his expression couldn't help but change.

But after all, he was a man of great schemes, and his expression returned to normal almost immediately, but deep in his eyes, there was still a trace of surprise that only he knew.

"How could it be these two! After losing contact in the Chaotic Star Sea of the human world years ago, he had never heard any news about these two women again. But never expected to meet them again in the foreign land of the Spirit Realm. But looking at them safe and sound, the Soul-Returning Technique of that year must have truly succeeded." Although Han Li withdrew his gaze, his heart was surging, unable to calm down for a while.

As Han Li and Di Xue walked in, the gazes of the people in the hall naturally swept over first.

Yuan Yao and the other woman saw Han Li, but their expressions were very different.

A look of shock flashed across Yuan Yao's beautiful eyes, but immediately her face was expressionless, showing no abnormality.
