Chapter 1686: Leaving the Mountain

In this way, Han Li's figure was exposed to over a hundred mid-to-high-tier demonic beasts, and his expression changed drastically. WwW. feiazw. CoM Net

What kind of secret technique was this glazed light, to have such great divine ability, even breaking etherealization so easily? And how did this demonic beast know he was nearby?

But an even more unexpected thing happened!

At the same time his figure appeared, in another place dozens of feet away, another slender, familiar figure appeared after a flash of cyan light.

He stared intently, and it was none other than Xian Xian.

This Crystal Clan woman didn't know what kind of concealment technique she used, but even he hadn't been able to see through her tracks with his clear spiritual eye just now.

However, now that her figure was exposed, the woman's expression also changed suddenly.

Han Li was extremely shocked. As his thoughts raced, he pinched magic seals with both hands, thunderous sounds erupted from his back, and a pair of crystal-clear feathered wings appeared first.

Xian Xian withdrew her look of panic, opened her mouth, and suddenly a silver-shimmering talisman appeared in her hand.

On both sides, roars erupted, and pitch-black demonic Qi soared into the sky, pressing toward the middle like a mountain and sea.

Over a hundred mid-to-high-tier demonic beasts attacking together, the momentum was imaginable.

I'm afraid even a Body Integration existence would never dare to take this strike head-on.

Han Li took a fierce breath, flapped the wings on his back, and suddenly transformed into a cyan-white crystal thread, shooting out. With just a flash, it submerged into the void.

And the Crystal Clan woman slapped the silver talisman onto her body, transforming into a patch of silver light that dissipated and vanished.

The black Qi on both sides rolled and vanished.

In the next moment, the cyan-white crystal thread flashed out.

Han Li appeared at the edge of the void a hundred feet away. He turned his head to glance at the little beast releasing the glazed light in the distance, then shook his figure and submerged into the void, vanishing without a trace.

Silver arcs flashed in the sky, and Xian Xian also appeared in the void immediately after. She turned her head to smile sweetly at the crowd of beasts, then twisted her delicate body and vanished.

The black Qi rolled and scattered, and the hundred-plus demonic beasts revealed themselves, unable to help but look at each other in dismay.

"We let them run away like this." A stream of light flashed, and the glazed little beast appeared in front of the crowd of beasts, looking at the empty void with a look of contemplation.

"It's all our fault for being useless, wasting such a good opportunity." A demonic beast resembling a wild boar spoke in human language.

The other high-tier demonic beasts nearby also had looks of shame and annoyance on their faces.

"This can't be blamed on you all. The escape and concealment techniques of these two are indeed strange. Even I only discovered the existence of one of them; how the other one escaped to the vicinity, I didn't notice in the slightest."

"Then should we continue to ambush here?" A high-tier demonic beast couldn't help but ask.

"Of course we must continue to wait here. Even if we can't catch these few people, we must catch one or two other outsiders. Otherwise, we truly won't be able to explain ourselves when we return." The glazed little beast smiled bitterly.

Upon hearing the little beast's words, the other demonic beasts felt it made sense, and they scattered in a swarm, flying nearby to hide their figures again.

……

Han Li was flying forward wrapped in a ball of silver light.

Countless cyan electric arcs fell from the sky, hitting the silver light, causing it to shake continuously.

Not far behind him, another ball of silver light followed closely, also advancing slowly amidst the bombardment of ten thousand thunders.

……

Several hours later, silver light flashed in a patch of thin mist, and two balls of silver light flew out from within.

Then, the light converged, and two silver-shimmering giant umbrellas appeared.

And under the umbrellas, a man and a woman stood there.

It was none other than Han Li and Xian Xian!

"We finally got out. This time, it was truly stealing a chicken only to lose the rice. Not only did we not obtain the True Qilin Origin, but even our magic power and magic treasures were consumed quite a bit. And I owe you a huge favor, Daoist." The Crystal Clan woman looked at Han Li, her eyes flowing, and sighed lightly.

"Why must the Fairy be so discouraged? This time, so many changes occurred, and high-tier demonic beasts appeared in groups. Being able to save our lives and come out alive is already not bad." Han Li smiled slightly, appearing extremely relaxed.

"That's true. This time, with so many high-tier demonic beasts guarding near the exit, the number of people who could come out alive is probably few and far between. But this has nothing to do with us; let's leave this place quickly." Xian Xian looked back at the restriction they had come out of and breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Li naturally had no objections and nodded. Then, the two's escape lights stirred, and they shot into the depths of the mist.

An hour after they left, suddenly, white light flashed in the mist from another direction, and a dazzling rainbow shot out. With just a flash, a figure was revealed.

It was a chubby old man in a soap robe, his expression anxious.

The old man scanned the surroundings rapidly, muttering to himself:

"I only left for such a short half-day; it couldn't be such a coincidence that I missed the people coming out from inside. If that's truly the case, I definitely won't let that Madman Liu off easily. Knowing I had important matters to attend to, he still forced me to spar over some new divine ability. Running into this old madman is truly unlucky."

The chubby old man muttered to himself, his face full of bad luck as he blamed himself.

And his magic power was unfathomable; he was actually a Body Integration existence.

However, this Saint Clan old man surnamed Gu would naturally never have imagined that he had painstakingly guarded this place for so many days, only for his target to slip away right under his nose because of the appearance of that "Madman Liu."

He didn't know if this was Han Li's luck or this person's bad luck.

Next, the chubby old man pinched a magic seal, and his figure became extremely faint, finally submerging into the mist and vanishing without a trace.

……

Han Li naturally didn't know that he had dodged a huge trouble unintentionally. He and Xian Xian didn't return to Thunder Cloud Town, but flew past nearby, flying straight out of the mist sea.

Half a day later, the two finally flew out of the mist sea and broke through the air.

A month later, Han Li and the Crystal Clan woman saw the magnificent and spectacular blurry outline of the Cloud City in the sky from afar.

The two stopped their escape lights and paused in mid-air.

"Fairy Xian, to prevent the attention of those with ulterior motives, it's better for us to enter the city separately." Han Li said calmly to Xian Xian.

"What Daoist Han says is very true. If we enter together, it would indeed be somewhat eye-catching. How about this: you enter the city first, and a quarter of an hour later, I will enter, how about that?" Xian Xian thought for a moment and said with a smile.

"No problem." Han Li agreed happily.

"By the way, Daoist Han, you can give me that Saint-tier demonic core first. To repair your Heavenly Outer Demon Armor, I need to process this demonic core and refine it with secret techniques first. In that way, you can also wear the repaired demon armor sooner." The Crystal Clan woman said sweetly.

Han Li smiled upon hearing this, and without a word, he raised his hand, and a jade box flew out.

A trace of surprise flashed on Xian Xian's face, but she raised her jade hand and sucked the jade box into her hand.

However, the woman didn't open the box lid immediately, but opened her pair of beautiful eyes and stared at Han Li for a moment, before suddenly letting out a "Puchi" laugh:

"Daoist Han truly trusts me quite a bit. Such a treasure that was obtained with such difficulty, you gave it to me so easily."

"Hehe, it's not that I trust you, but that I believe Fairy Xian wouldn't do anything unwise for a mere Saint-tier demonic core." Han Li shook his head and said indifferently.

"Regardless, since Daoist Han trusts me so much to give me this item, I will definitely not betray your trust. Half a month later, you can come to the shop to find me, and I will naturally prepare everything and repair the Heavenly Outer Demon Armor for you." Xian Xian's mouth curled into a smile, and she said softly.

"Then I will truly have to trouble Fairy Xian." Han Li's face also revealed a smile upon hearing this.

Below, the two chatted for a few more sentences, and Han Li cupped his fists and said goodbye first.

One could only see the escape light stir, and a cyan rainbow shot straight toward the giant city wall in the high altitude in the distance. A moment later, it vanished into the clouds and mist without a trace.

And Xian Xian stood in place motionless, looking in the direction Han Li had left, her gaze flickering.

"Why, do you still want to continue winning over this person?" Suddenly, a strange voice came from the Crystal Clan woman's body.

"Qi Ying, you're awake!" Xian Xian was overjoyed upon hearing this voice, and at the same time, she shook her long sleeves.

Instantly, amidst a sheet of light mist, a cluster of green shadows shot out, and after circling, it transformed into a fist-sized phantom of a Qilin.

This beast shook its head and said to the Crystal Clan woman with a bitter smile:

"I barely woke up a few days ago, but because I helped you urge several secret techniques in succession this time, the loss was truly severe. So I rested quietly for a few days first."

"This operation can be considered a failure. I didn't expect that not only would the 'Acupoint Spirit' of the True Spirit Acupoint have abnormalities, but even another fellow with the same existence as you would rush to that place. If it weren't for a bit of luck, we might truly have fallen into it." Xian Xian said helplessly.

"That's true. However, it's also fortunate that this little fellow Han's divine abilities are far stronger than we expected, otherwise you truly wouldn't have been able to leave the Demonic Gold Mountain Range alive. However, do you still intend to continue befriending this person, to prepare for the next True Spirit Acupoint?" Qi Ying nodded and asked in return.

"The next appearance of the True Spirit Acupoint is many years away. I can't think that far ahead for now. But even without considering this matter. This person's divine abilities are so astonishing, seemingly not weaker than a Saint Clan early-stage existence. I will try my best to befriend him; there's no harm in it." The Crystal Clan woman curled her mouth and said with a smile.

"That makes sense. However, to have such astonishing divine abilities at the seventh rank of the Upper Clan is indeed worth winning over greatly." Qi Ying nodded in agreement after pondering for a moment.

"However, this time, I spent so much effort beforehand and took so many risks. In the end, I still gained nothing. This truly makes me too unwilling." The Crystal Clan woman clenched her hands in her sleeves, feeling extremely depressed.

"Hehe, you don't have to be so annoyed. Although you can't obtain this True Qilin Origin for now. But that doesn't mean I don't have other ways to improve your Crystal Clan physique and help you enter the Saint Clan." Qi Ying suddenly laughed freely after being silent for a long while.

"What! Could it be that you, Qi Ying, know the location of a second True Spirit Acupoint?" Xian Xian was startled upon hearing this, then asked in wild joy.

"Hehe, I naturally couldn't know the second True Spirit Acupoint. But I do know of another ancient ruin location... that was the residence of a famous alchemy master from ancient times..."

Qi Ying began to talk, and Xian Xian listened intently without blinking...
