Chapter 1534: Wheel-Turning Yin-Gathering Array

Several hours later, several heaven-shaking booms erupted from the area shrouded by the black light screen.

Following this, the light screen trembled violently, and booming explosions erupted incessantly from beneath the ground. Following this, with the palace on the ground as the center, the ground for several miles around was struck by several thick pillars of light that soared into the sky, and then it collapsed downward.

The palace completely collapsed and vanished, finally revealing a massive crater in its original place.

And on the surface of the ground near the crater, there were several long cracks about several zhang wide, extending up to ten miles away.

Following this, several angry roars rang out from the crater, and several masses of spiritual light flew out one after another in pursuit.

One mass was over a hundred zhang ahead, while the other spiritual lights followed behind. With a flash, they flew to the entrance of the blue passage, all rushing out of the black light screen.

Then, the sound of breaking air erupted, and they shot toward the distance once again.

Suddenly, a battle erupted between the several masses of spiritual light behind.

While attacking each other, they pursued the mass of light at the very front without letting go.

One of the light masses paused, suddenly broke away from the fierce battle, and changed direction, leaving alone...

In the blink of an eye, the area near the black light screen became quiet once again, and all around was silent.

Han Li, while driving the cyan glow to engulf Yuan Yao and the other woman and fleeing, carefully checked the seal of the mark within his body with his spiritual sense.

Fortunately! The mark was still as solidified as before, with no sign of loosening.

Only then did Han Li feel slightly at ease, but the heart he had been holding up never truly let go. He knew very well that this was because the few demon kings were currently occupied with important matters and had no time to spare for him. Once Liu Zu and the others were free and remembered him, they would trigger the mark.

He would have no way to suppress it for long.

Therefore, Han Li had no intention of continuing to flee like this with the two women.

After fleeing for over a million miles, a hilly area filled with black gas appeared ahead, where Yin Qi was condensed and heavy.

Han Li felt a movement in his heart, pondered slightly, and dropped his escape light with the two women.

After a few flickers, the cyan rainbow submerged into the black gas and vanished.

The scene in the hills was not as desolate as Han Li had imagined. On the ground of varying heights, besides some low-growing gray shrubs, there were also several types of tall trees growing.

These trees were somewhat dim in color, but their branches and leaves were extremely lush, covering nearly half of the hills.

After flying in the faint black gas for a while longer, Han Li stopped at a hill that resembled a small stone mountain.

He scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense, confirmed that there were indeed no powerful ghost creatures nearby, and immediately shook his sleeve, causing a small golden sword to shoot out.

With a flicker, the small sword transformed into several golden rays and hacked wildly at a stone wall.

After a series of low, muffled "rumbling" sounds, a massive cave entrance immediately appeared. The golden light drilled in wildly like a spiritual snake.

Han Li stood before the cave entrance with his hands behind his back.

After a cup of tea's time, the small golden sword flew back.

Han Li's expression moved. He flipped his palm, and a stack of small flags of different colors appeared in his hand.

As he tossed them, five-colored light submerged into the area near the cave entrance and vanished.

Instantly, a mass of seemingly ordinary black mist surged out, condensed with the nearby Yin Qi, and became indistinguishable from it.

Han Li beckoned with one hand toward the cyan glow behind him, and his body flickered as he flew into it.

The two women, engulfed in the cyan glow, also submerged into the black gas lightly in a flash.

The deepest part of this temporary hiding place was not opened very large, only about ten zhang in radius. However, it was exceptionally deep, leading straight to the very center of the hill's abdomen.

When Han Li's figure flickered and appeared at the end of the stone cave, and he sat cross-legged against one end of the stone wall.

The two women were also brought here by the cyan glow and laid flat on the ground slowly.

The glow flashed and dissipated completely.

The two women were still eyes closed, unconscious.

Han Li was not surprised by this at all!

Those blood strands were clearly exceptionally evil things, and in order to let them break free from control in a short time, he had forcibly used the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder to wash over the two women's bodies. And the two women were half-ghost bodies, naturally unable to safely endure this suffering.

Of course, this also had to do with the fact that Yuan Yao and Yan Li's own physical bodies were not strong enough. If it were Han Li's own exceptionally strong body, he wouldn't care about this bit of pain at all.

However, Han Li dared to use this thunderous method because he was confident and had other ways to wake the two women up immediately.

He saw spiritual light flash on both his hands, and over a dozen long, thin silver needles and a stack of cyan talismans appeared in his palms.

With a flick of one hand, over a dozen silver threads shot out with a "chi-chi" sound, submerging into the two women's bodies in a flash, leaving only half exposed.

Although the two women hadn't woken up, expressions of pain immediately appeared on their faces.

Han Li turned a blind eye to this, but the talismans in his other hand covered the two women in a mass of cyan light.

In the cyan spiritual light, the expressions of pain on the two women slowly vanished, and their complexions improved greatly.

And Han Li cast spells with both hands, and one after another, profound spells submerged into the two women's bodies through the cyan light screen. And those dozen or so silver needles trembled rhythmically with the casting of these spells, while the silver light on the needles themselves flickered incessantly.

Han Li let out a light breath and beckoned with one hand.

Silver light flashed on the surface of the women's bodies, and the dozen or so silver threads shot back, submerging into his sleeve.

Han Li opened his mouth and said faintly:

"Two Fellow Daoists, wake up!"

Han Li's voice didn't seem loud, but he had used a fraction of the Spirit-Startling Spike divine ability within his words. Of course, it was only a slight amount and would absolutely not harm the two women's spiritual sense.

But this bit was enough to wake the two women.

Yuan Yao let out a soft "ying-ning" sound, her long eyelashes moved, and she opened her beautiful eyes. Her gaze was somewhat dazed, but as she remembered something, she sat up in shock.

"Fellow Daoist Han, it's you?" Seeing Han Li close at hand, Yuan Yao's expression relaxed, and she opened her cherry mouth, wanting to say something more.

But Han Li waved his hand and said with a solemn expression:

"Miss Yuan, we can talk in detail later. First, see if your bodies are unharmed."

Yuan Yao's expression turned solemn. She nodded and immediately sat cross-legged, closing her eyes once again.

A moment later, Yan Li also woke up, and under Han Li's instructions, she also began to check her internal condition.

After a short while, the two women let out long breaths and opened their eyes again.

"Everything in my body has been cleared away. This time, it truly is thanks to Brother Han making a move. Otherwise, my junior sister and I would have been doomed." Yan Li stood up, bowed to Han Li, and said.

Before they fell unconscious, although they couldn't control their bodies, their spiritual sense was exceptionally clear. After being restricted, the two women naturally felt extreme fear, thinking they were truly going to suffer the white-haired matron's poison hand this time. But they didn't expect Han Li to be able to appear by their side and save them under such circumstances.

After falling unconscious, Yan Li didn't know how Han Li managed to do this nearly impossible thing, but she imagined the process must have been exceptionally dangerous.

Therefore, her words of gratitude were exceptionally sincere.

Yuan Yao also bowed along with Yan Li. Although she didn't say anything, the look of gratitude on her face was naturally not lacking.

"Two Fellow Daoists, there is no need for such formalities. I did this actually for my own sake as much as anything. Now I have forcibly suppressed the mark in my body, but it cannot last long. The Ghost Matron and the others could trigger it at any time. Why don't you two see if the Yin Qi here can be used to help me drive out the mark." Concerned for his own life, Han Li didn't say any polite words and went straight to the matter of the mark.

Hearing Han Li say this, the two women looked at each other, then scanned the surroundings and sensed the Yin Qi here.

"The Yin Qi here is not as condensed as my sister and I would like, but to drive the mark, there is a sixty to seventy percent chance. Brother Han, do you think we should seek another place with more condensed Yin Qi, or take a risk and try it here?" Yuan Yao lowered her head and pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Sixty to seventy percent? That is already enough. Seeking another place, I fear there won't be enough time. Those demon kings already know we haven't fallen, and once they free their hands, they will definitely trigger the mark and search for us." Han Li pondered and said resolutely.

Although his personality was not to do things without certainty, when he truly had to take a gamble, Han Li would not hesitate in the least.

"Good, my junior sister and I will follow Brother Han's intentions. We will immediately set up the 'Wheel-Turning Yin-Gathering Array.' With the power of this array, we can gather astonishing Yin Qi in a short time. Borrowing the power of this Yin Qi, the three of us joining forces can drive out those few marks in one go." Seeing Han Li so resolute, Yan Li showed a look of approval on her face.

Clearly, this woman also favored acting here.

Yuan Yao's beautiful eyes flickered, and she nodded as well.

Time was so pressing that the three of them naturally wouldn't dawdle. Once they reached a consensus, the three of them immediately flew out of the cave and arrived at a low altitude.

Yan Li scanned the surroundings, immediately raised one hand, and a mass of Yin wind manifested and condensed in her hand, transforming into a gray, hazy small flag in the blink of an eye.

Tossing this flag into mid-air, she began chanting.

Under the urging of the spell, the small flag spun incessantly in mid-air, simultaneously spraying countless gray Yin threads that danced wildly in the sky.

Han Li looked at the small flag in mid-air, his eyes narrowing slightly.

As a result, so many Yin threads suddenly condensed straight in the same direction, actually transforming into a straight, sharp awl. It pointed straight at another small hill not far away.

"Found it! That should be the point with the most concentrated Yin Qi nearby. It is most suitable to be used as the array eye for the Wheel-Turning Yin-Gathering Array." Yan Li's pleasant voice came from mid-air.

Yuan Yao, who was side-by-side with Han Li, heard these words, and a look of joy appeared on her face as well.

Immediately, the three of them flew over, and then Han Li continued to hover in the high sky to keep watch, while Yuan Yao and the other woman began to set up a massive array with that hill as the center.

The area of this array was vast, enough to include the entire hill below.

Han Li watched the gradually forming array from mid-air, stroked his chin with one hand, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face from time to time.
