Chapter 1592: Items in the Box

The big-headed man took a deep breath, moved his palm, and suddenly took out three pale white jade boxes from his bosom.

Each surface was pasted with several crimson talismans, and runes faintly floated about.

"This box contains several items that are extremely important to our Tian Yun Thirteen Tribes. If you three fellow Daoists can deliver these items to our Wan Gu Tribe, there will naturally be unexpected great benefits. But if you three fellow Daoists are caught by the Jiao Chi race, it is best to destroy this box immediately before being captured. Otherwise, falling into the hands of the Jiao Chi race will only bring about the suffering of soul refining and extraction." As the big-headed man spoke, he flicked his wrist, and the three jade boxes flew toward Han Li and the other two.

The green-skinned alien and Han Li subconsciously caught the jade boxes.

"Brother Yuan, what exactly is inside that you are so cautious?" The alien in the red light looked at the jade box in his hand and asked hesitantly.

"What it is, I cannot say clearly. But I can guarantee you one thing: this item alone can be exchanged with our Wan Gu Tribe's elders for a Spirit-Connecting grade puppet or other treasures of the same tier." The big-headed man took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression.

"What, a Spirit-Connecting grade puppet!" As soon as these words were spoken, the green-skinned alien gasped.

Only Han Li had heard of this item for the first time, and his expression remained unchanged. The alien in the red light, however, flickered his eyes several times.

"Brother Yuan, you aren't joking, are you? This item can be exchanged for such heaven-defying treasure. In that case, if I use this item to request a 'Wan Miao Pill,' your tribe will also agree, right?" Lady Lu asked somewhat excitedly.

"The Wan Miao Pill is even rarer than a Spirit-Connecting puppet. I cannot guarantee that the elders will definitely give it to you, but there is a seventy or eighty percent chance." The big-headed man hesitated before replying cautiously.

Hearing the Yuan-surnamed alien's reply, the green-skinned alien became even more convinced.

He immediately stopped speaking, but his five fingers gripping the jade box tightened, and his eyes, staring at the jade box, spun around a few times.

At this time, Han Li had long since used his spiritual sense to probe the jade box, but as soon as it touched the surface, it was bounced back by a restrictive force and could not penetrate it at all.

It seemed that the few restrictive talismans pasted on the box lid had the miraculous effect of cutting off spiritual sense.

"You three fellow Daoists had best not think about opening the lid on the way. Otherwise, if something happens, don't blame Brother Yuan for not reminding you beforehand." The big-headed man seemed to see the thoughts of the others and warned them again.

"Hmph, is there some other powerful means inside the box?" The green-skinned alien snorted lightly.

"The items in the box are very important to our Tian Yun Thirteen Tribes, so the restrictions placed on them naturally cannot be just these few restrictive talismans. Of course, if you three fellow Daoists can truly escape the pursuit and have the confidence to break the means I have placed, you are free to open it and take a look." The big-headed man smiled gloomily.

"How do I know that after handing the items to your tribe, they can truly be exchanged for great treasures? What if your tribe's elders receive the items and suddenly turn their backs on us?" Han Li said indifferently.

Hearing Han Li's question, the red-light alien and the green-skinned alien looked at each other, both revealing the same concerns on their faces.

Hearing this, the big-headed man frowned and hesitated for a long while before saying somewhat reluctantly:

"If you are not very at ease with our Wan Gu Tribe, you can hand the jade box to any of the Tian Yun Thirteen Tribes, and there should also be many benefits. But I will remind you beforehand that this item is far less valued by the other tribes than by our Wan Gu Tribe. So the benefits you can obtain will naturally be greatly reduced. At the very least, divine pills like the Wan Miao Pill are out of the question."

After the big-headed man said this, both the green-skinned alien and the red-light alien looked thoughtful.

Han Li touched his chin and became very interested in what was inside the box.

"Since these items are so important, why doesn't Brother Yuan deliver them back to the tribe yourself? Why entrust them to us?" The alien in the red light asked.

"These items haven't been in my hands for long, and just after I obtained them, the Jiao Chi race suddenly sent a troop to besiege Green Light City. You must know that Green Light City is just an inconspicuous small trading city. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have been attacked so quickly. So I suspect the Jiao Chi race might have heard some wind. If I carry the items with me, the risk is too great." The big-headed man did not intend to hide anything and stated his worries directly.

"You mean the Jiao Chi race army also came for the items in the box?" The green-skinned alien couldn't help but gasp, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Han Li's eyes also flashed with shock.

"This is just my speculation, it might not be true. The reason I am asking you three fellow Daoists is just to be safe." The big-headed man's expression softened again.

"Fine, since Brother Yuan has said so, I will temporarily keep these items." The alien in the red light seemed to have made up his mind first, white light flashed in his hand, and the jade box was put away.

The green-skinned alien's expression fluctuated for a while before he suddenly threw the jade box in his hand, then opened his mouth, and a crystal green long tongue rolled it up, swallowing the jade box directly into his stomach.

In the blink of an eye, Han Li was the only one of the three still holding the jade box in his hand, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

"Why, does Brother Han still have any doubts?" The big-headed man asked, somewhat surprised, turning his head.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan didn't even ask about my background before handing this item to me. Aren't you afraid of entrusting it to the wrong person?" Han Li's mouth moved, and he glanced at the jade box in his hand, suddenly asking with a half-smile.

"Hehe, although I haven't seen which tribe you are from, I can be certain you are not from the Jiao Chi race. As for your divine abilities, I think that having fought sea beasts overseas for many years and being able to cultivate to this level, they definitely won't be small." The big-headed man smiled.

"Mm, since you trust me so much, and you brought me into the secret passage earlier, I will help with this favor." After Han Li's thoughts turned rapidly, he finally nodded and agreed.

The jade box in his hand shook lightly and was calmly put into his storage bracelet.

Although he didn't know what kind of treasures the "Spirit-Connecting puppet" and "Wan Miao Pill" were, being able to make several Refining Void stage existences treat them as treasures meant they must be exceptionally rare. And since the items in the box could make the so-called "Tian Yun Thirteen Tribes" willing to exchange for them, their value should be even higher.

Now that such good things were being delivered to him, he naturally wouldn't let them go easily. Anyway, listening to what the others said earlier, the probability of Body Integration stage existences appearing among the pursuers this time wasn't high, and he was fully capable of dealing with it.

As for whether he would truly exchange these items later, he would decide then.

"Fine, since you three fellow Daoists have already agreed, let's separate and leave immediately. Now that those pursuers should all be chasing others, it is a great opportunity to slip away quietly. I will go first." Seeing Han Li also put away the jade box, the big-headed man said with a look of joy.

Following this, he swept his gaze around, raised a hand, and suddenly threw out a pitch-black object that looked like an iron top.

This object was only a foot in size at first, but after he pinched a magic art with both hands, it suddenly grew to three or four zhang in length.

Yellow light flashed on the big-headed man's body, and he turned into a phantom and vanished into the iron top.

"Right! As far as I know, to deal with the Jiao Chi race's attack, the elders of our Thirteen Tribes have all gathered at 'Cloud City.' The Great Elders of our Wan Gu Tribe and several other tribes have personally gone to the city to sit in command. I hope we can meet again in Heaven City in a few months." The big-headed man seemed to remember something and sent a muffled humming sound from the top.

"Cloud City?" The green-skinned alien and the other alien's expressions changed upon hearing this.

Han Li also revealed a thoughtful expression upon hearing this.

He seemed to have heard the name "Cloud City" mentioned by that woman Qing Xiao, but he couldn't recall the details for a moment. However, it didn't matter; he still carried a map of the nearby region. Although it was from thousands of years ago, for cultivators like them, there naturally wouldn't be any major changes.

Then, the giant iron top spun around, turned into a cone-shaped black light, and drilled into the ground, vanishing without a trace.

"Take care, you two, I am also taking my leave." The green-skinned alien was extremely wary of the Jiao Chi race pursuers, and almost the moment the big-headed man left, he bowed slightly to Han Li and the other.

Following this, his body blurred, and his clothing and skin simultaneously became transparent. A moment later, he vanished as if he were air.

What kind of escape art was this?

Han Li was taken aback and couldn't help but sweep his blue-glowing pupils over.

After a great deal of effort, he finally faintly saw a nearly invisible human figure in the distance, jumping forward ten-odd zhang at a time.

"Hehe, this is a unique concealment secret art of the Dark Green Tribe. Once performed, unless one's cultivation is higher than his, or one has some special divine abilities, it is impossible to detect his existence. But the only flaw is that when performing this divine ability, one cannot fly through the air, and the escape speed is a bit slow." Just as Han Li was gazing into the distance, a light laugh from the alien in the red light sounded behind him.

"Oh, this concealment art is quite unique!" Han Li withdrew his gaze and turned around to say this.

Although it was said that he couldn't fly, by walking and jumping, the green-skinned alien had already vanished into a forest in the distance in this short moment.

"Does Brother Han also intend to leave? But before leaving, I have a suggestion. Would you like to hear it?" The alien in the red light stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Han Li and asking.

"What suggestion?" Han Li was somewhat surprised and replied indifferently.

"You aren't from the Tian Yun Thirteen Tribes, are you? Since that's the case, why take the risk of delivering something? Why not hand over the item Brother Yuan gave you to me instead?" The alien in the red light said this lightly.

"You want that jade box?" A strange expression appeared on Han Li's face, and he narrowed his eyes slightly before asking back uncertainly.

"That's right. I am indeed interested in the item in the jade box. Anyway, delivering one is the same as delivering two, so why not let me, Hong, do it for you?" The voice of the alien in the red light suddenly became extremely low.
