Chapter 1654

Han Li stood on the top of a small mountain peak, looking at a mountain range in the distance, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"This is the place you mentioned! It doesn't look very eye-catching." After withdrawing his gaze, he asked Xian Xian beside him.

"That is precisely why it chose this place. Brother Yue, you don't need to lead the way for the road ahead. You should rest nearby for a while. I and Senior Han will go over. It will take at most half a day, or three or four days at most, to return. If we really don't return after the deadline, don't worry about us. Just leave on your own." Xian Xian said to Yue Zong with a smile.

"Since Fairy Xian has said so, Yue will be lazy." Yue Zong agreed immediately, then cupped his fists and flew toward another small mountain nearby.

Finally, he flashed and sank into the mountain peak.

"Senior Han, let's go." Xian Xian took a deep breath, her expression becoming solemn.

Han Li nodded, and without saying a word, his escape light rose, and he flew toward the mountain range ahead.

As soon as they entered the mountain range, the Magic Smoke Bird that had been staying on the crystal woman's shoulder immediately flapped its wings and soared into the sky, circling in the nearby air before shooting away in a certain direction.

Han Li and the two followed quietly behind.

The mountain peaks in the mountain range were layered and connected in one piece.

The two followed the black bird and flew thousands of miles deep into it; when an ordinary-looking mountain peak appeared in front of them, the Magic Smoke Bird folded its wings, let out a clear cry, and circled without moving forward.

Xian Xian's eyes lit up, and she said happily:

"The entrance has been found."

Afterwards, the woman urged her escape light, and after a few flashes, she arrived near the mountain peak, flew around the mountain peak a few times, finally stopped at a certain place on the mountainside, and appeared, looking at something intently.

Han Li's green light rose, and he arrived beside the woman as well, looking in the direction of her gaze.

Only seeing an ordinary-looking cliff, over a hundred zhang high, gray-white and smooth, except for some black qi floating nearby, there was no other abnormality.

However, the blue light in Han Li's eyes flashed slightly, and his expression moved, seemingly having seen something.

At this time, Xian Xian let out a low cry, and the Magic Smoke Bird that had been circling in the air rushed down, shooting toward the cliff like an arrow.

After a muffled "puchi" sound, the seemingly extremely hard stone wall rippled the moment it touched the Magic Smoke Bird. Following this, its surface blurred slightly, turning into a layer of lifeless, thick black mist.

The entire cliff was actually the entrance to a giant cave.

The Magic Smoke Bird seemed not to be blocked by the black mist, sinking into it.

"Senior, wait a moment, I will check the situation inside first." Xian Xian said cautiously, then sat cross-legged in the air, closing her eyes while pinching a spell with both hands.

A wisp of her mind had already attached to the Magic Smoke Bird; all she had to do now was manipulate this bird to investigate the situation inside.

Han Li stood aside with his eyes flashing, seemingly pondering something.

After a full cup of tea's time, with a cry, the Magic Smoke Bird rushed out of the black mist, circled, and landed on Xian Xian's shoulder.

The woman also opened her eyes at this time.

"Fortunately, that Saint-rank demonic beast is still sleeping inside. It is the best time to take action. I will let the Magic Smoke Bird lead the way for Senior, directly to where the Saint-rank demonic beast is. However, the demonic qi inside is unusually fierce; even with Senior Han's demonic arts, you cannot persist for long. It is best not to wake this beast and directly kill it with a thunderous method!" Xian Xian said solemnly, then pointed her finger at the air.

The black bird immediately flew into the black mist again with spirituality.

"Fairy Xian, rest assured, Han knows how to do it. Since you don't have demonic arts to protect your body, just wait here for me to come out." Han Li stared at the woman in front of him for a while before nodding calmly, then pinched a spell with both hands, suddenly golden light shining, and a layer of thin scales appeared.

With a movement of his figure, he turned into a golden rainbow and escaped into the black mist.

Seeing Han Li really enter the black mist, the smile on the woman's mouth faded, and a thoughtful look appeared.

"It's almost time. We should also take action." Suddenly a green light flew out from the crystal woman's body, and after a flash, it turned into a fist-sized Qilin phantom, turning back to say to the woman.

"Wait a moment. Regardless of whether he can really kill that Saint-rank demonic beast, only when they fight will it be the best time for us to enter the True Spirit Cave." Xian Xian shook her head and said.

"Why, your wariness of him is not small." The Qilin phantom laughed.

"Walking all the way here, how great his abilities are, you haven't seen it while in my body. Even a ninth-rank Upper Clan demonic beast cannot support for a moment in his hands. If we really fight with this person, I don't have any chance of winning. And that Saint-rank demonic beast, if I'm not mistaken, although still sleeping, must have made some precautions in its residence beforehand. Wanting to approach easily is probably not possible. We can only open the True Spirit Cave when they are fighting, without anyone knowing." Xian Xian said calmly.

"What you say also makes some sense. Then let's wait a moment." The Qilin phantom tilted its neck and thought about it, nodding.

At the same time, outside the mountain range, Yue Zong was sitting in meditation in a newly opened cave on a mountain peak.

Suddenly he sensed something, his face changed, and he flipped his palm.

The box containing the strange insect appeared in his hand.

The silkworm-like strange insect began to shake its head and cry wildly as soon as the lid was opened.

Yue Zong took a deep breath, and without thinking, he leaped, turning into a white rainbow and rushing out of the cave.

But as soon as his figure appeared outside, his face became extremely ugly.

In front of him, a man in silver armor with a wooden expression was floating.

It was precisely the alien surnamed Gui who had had a conflict with them in the pavilion.

"So it is Senior here; I thought other demonic beasts had appeared here. Does Senior have anything to do with Junior?" Yue Zong sank in his heart but smiled reluctantly.

The man surnamed Gui stared coldly at Yue Zong, not speaking for a long while, before finally asking without emotion:

"Where are the others?"

"What others, there is only Junior here." Yue Zong replied as calmly as possible.

"Is that so. In that case, you can be on your way." The man surnamed Gui heard this, blood light flashed on his face, and a murderous aura emerged.

Yue Zong's expression changed, and he suddenly threw the box in his hand toward the opposite side, then spiritual light flashed in his sleeve, dozens of talismans of different colors shot out, and opening his mouth, a white jade tablet sprayed out.

The strange insect shot out from the box, turning into a zhang size, winding toward the man surnamed Gui like a strange snake; dozens of talismans instantly turned into light balls of different colors and burst open, while the jade tablet went "bang" and turned into a white mist, an acre in size, covering the man surnamed Gui underneath.

And Yue Zong himself had white light flash under his feet, a pair of boots appeared, and with a shake, he disappeared in place and appeared ten zhang away outside the mist.

Then his escape light rose, and he was about to turn into a white rainbow and shoot away.

The man surnamed Gui saw this and sneered, only seeing him suddenly pat his own crown, his figure blurred slightly, actually transforming into three identical avatars.

One of the avatars raised its two arms, suddenly turning into a pair of blood-colored ghost hands, with sharp fingers and black qi entwined, grabbing the giant insect that had pounced nearby, and with a force, tore the strange insect into several pieces like sharp blades.

Another avatar suddenly grinned and sprayed hard.

Immediately, a blood-colored light glow surged out, rolling all the light balls that had shot over afterward into it.

With another suck, amidst the flashing blood light, these light balls were all swallowed into its belly, and even a small half of the white mist nearby was sucked in.

The last avatar had silver light flash in its eyes, suddenly leaped, and turned into a silver dragon, shooting out.

With just a flash, the silver dragon appeared above the escape light transformed by Yue Zong like a teleportation, its tail swung, and two giant claws grabbed down with great momentum.

Yue Zong's face was pale, but naturally he would not wait for death; a rumbling sound came from his body, and two white bone flying swords shot out from his body.

These flying swords had electric light flashing on their surface, looking quite extraordinary, and with a cross-slash, they met the dragon's two giant claws.

With a "crack" sound, although the bone swords made the giant claws pause, they themselves broke into two pieces under the giant force.

Taking this opportunity, Yue Zong sprayed a cluster of essence blood, covering the boots under his feet, intending to display some escape technique to escape.

But the silver dragon's eyes flashed with cold light, and opening its mouth, a blood-red bead sprayed out with a clear sound.

The bead spun, suddenly releasing a large area of black-red blood light, and with a flash, it unexpectedly covered Yue Zong, who was in front, inside.

After a scream, Yue Zong turned into a pool of blood like a candle and was swallowed into the silver dragon's belly.

Following this, the silver dragon circled and shot back, and the other two avatars also rose into the air to meet it.

Only seeing the phantom flash, the three avatars merged into one in an instant, transforming back into the man surnamed Gui.

It was just that his expression was gloomy, his gaze flashing as he pondered something.

"These people actually appeared here; could it be that they are also here for that thing. But the location of that thing should not be known by others, unless it is like me, is... Hmph! Regardless of what origin these people have, only this Venerable has the qualification to obtain that thing; whoever blocks my way, I will swallow them." The man muttered to himself, murderous light flashing in his eyes.

But in the next moment, he suddenly turned his head and shouted fiercely toward a certain direction:

"Who is there, get out!"

But the surroundings were quiet, and no figure appeared.

A ferocious look flashed on the man's face, and he suddenly raised his hand, and a silver flying knife shot out.

Only seeing silver light flash, a piece of blade shadow instantly covered that void underneath.
