Chapter 1774
Seeing this scene, Han Li couldn't help but feel a bit strange. Net
Although he knew that the probability of breaking through the bottleneck in the Vast Cold Realm would increase significantly, the appearance of one person who advanced to Body Integration in each of the two teams was still very astonishing compared to the Spirit Realm.
It was fortunate that the Vast Cold Realm only opened once every ten thousand years. Otherwise, the number of Body Integration stage existences in the Thunder Continent would probably be far beyond what the other two continents could compare to.
However, Han Li was still somewhat puzzled as to why he had been transmitted out before the others.
Could it just be a coincidence?
He couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
Han Li naturally didn't know that all of this had something to do with the Profound Heaven Fruit sealed in his arm.
As a Profound Heaven Treasure containing the power of the laws of another realm, even though it was sealed, when it was forcibly repelled by the laws of the Vast Cold Realm, it made him, as the master, feel it much more intensely than other ordinary alien clansmen. Therefore, among everyone, he was the first to be sent away from the Vast Cold Realm.
And at this moment, the chaotic scene before their eyes left these Heavenly Cloud people who had just returned from the Vast Cold Realm dumbfounded, almost unable to believe what they were seeing with their own eyes.
They had clearly only been gone for a year, so how could the flames of war suddenly ignite to the Cloud City, which was still in the rear?
However, these people who could return alive from the Vast Cold Realm were naturally not ordinary people; they all knew that now was not the time to ask for the reason, so several of them, feeling somewhat anxious, had spiritual light flash on their bodies, and they all released their treasures, preparing to join the great battle in the air.
But just at this moment, a cluster of red light suddenly flashed and vanished in mid-air, and after a few flickers, it appeared in the low altitude between the two magic formations; it was an old man who looked somewhat familiar.
He was wearing a suit of light blue battle armor, and his eyes were slightly yellowish.
"Fellow daoists have finally returned. The elders are not here in order to confront the high-tier existences of the Horned Chi clansmen. However, Elder Weng had given instructions before he left: if you fellow daoists are transmitted back, hurry to the Spirit-Connecting War Fortress of the Myriad Ancient Clan immediately." This old man of an unknown clan, whom Han Li did not know, urged Han Li and the others, threw a token-like object down, and then his escape light flashed as he returned to high altitude.
With a wave of both hands, the old man released dense red thunder fire, surging toward a Horned Chi warrior who was taking the opportunity to charge at him.
And the Horned Chi person let out a loud shout, and clusters of white light flames also emerged on his body.
Amidst the rumbling sounds, the two fought together instantly.
Han Li and the others below, upon hearing this, couldn't help but look at each other.
The token was raised by the middle-aged man who had advanced to Body Integration, sucked into his hand, and after carefully checking with his spiritual sense, his expression stirred, and he threw it to Lady Yin Yue in the opposite magic formation.
"That's right, it's real. I also recognize this fellow daoist who delivered the order. It is Fellow Daoist Yu of the Green Clan; he is a law-enforcement guard of the Elder Council." Lady Yin Yue also looked at the token in her hand and confirmed to the others.
"Since that's the case, let us act according to the order. I think Elder Weng's order must have some deep meaning." The middle-aged man with the surname Ning pondered for a moment before saying so.
In his words, there was a faint hint of giving orders.
After all, he had now advanced to the Saint stage, so people like Shi Kun, who were originally of the same stage, naturally could no longer be mentioned in the same breath as him.
Others, upon hearing this tone, felt somewhat uncomfortable subconsciously, but they had no different opinions and mostly nodded silently.
Immediately, these people in the magic formation soared into the sky and flew away toward another direction of Cloud City.
Along the way, although they occasionally encountered some Horned Chi people coming to intercept them, without any Saint-stage existences, how could they be the opponents of two early Body Integration existences and so many late Void Refinement existences? They were easily destroyed in one blow.
After moving a distance away from the magic formation, although Cloud City was still in chaos, there were clearly more Horned Chi people.
Various Horned Chi war boats, war beasts, and warriors of different sizes were almost densely spread throughout the city.
Han Li even saw a super puppet nearly ten thousand zhang tall lying on the ground below, quietly motionless.
The originally white-as-jade body looked like a tattered mountain, and one could no longer find any complete part of it.
Seeing the huge puppet, Han Li was also startled, but immediately thought of the twelve giant spheres circling around Cloud City.
There was no doubt that this was one of the puppets transformed by the twelve Cloud City Guardians.
Such an existence, said to have strength comparable to the early Body Integration stage, could actually be destroyed and fall here, which showed the power of the Horned Chi army. It was estimated that in all likelihood, Cloud City would not be able to be preserved this time.
What made him feel even more uneasy was that along the way, his group had not yet encountered a single Saint-stage existence.
It seemed as if the existences of this stage from both sides had all vanished from the city completely.
Could it be that the top-tier existences of both sides had all gone outside the city to duel?
Han Li was silently flying while contemplating in his heart.
On the way, neither Liu Shui'er nor Shi Kun said anything to him, acting as if they were strangers to Han Li.
As for Lady Yin Yue, apart from saying a word when verifying the token at the beginning, she had no other words. During the period, she had occasionally looked at Han Li twice, but only smiled, and similarly did not transmit any special messages.
Han Li didn't care about this, but instead felt somewhat heavy in his heart because of the chaos in Cloud City at this time.
The Horned Chi army had invaded Cloud City; he wondered if this would cause any unpredictable changes to the matter of borrowing the super teleportation formation.
Just like this, without encountering any obstruction from existences above the Saint stage, a group of people rushed to the Eight Cloud Mountains in one breath, and even destroyed several war boats and hundreds of war chariots along the way.
After arriving here, the traces of the Horned Chi people vanished, and instead, teams of Heavenly Cloud warriors could be seen everywhere.
In the eight spiritual mountains, one could see treasure energy soaring into the sky, and layers of restriction fluctuations were emanating.
In the nearby clouds, one could also see bronze-colored war chariots and giant puppets of various colors, spread throughout.
This place was actually exceptionally heavily guarded.
Han Li and the others felt very surprised, but before they could step forward to ask anything, a team of over a hundred warriors rushed to meet them.
A black-faced giant man, who was the leader, seemed to recognize them, and immediately grinned and laughed loudly:
"Fellow daoists have finally returned from the Vast Cold Realm; Elder Weng is waiting for your news in the Spirit-Connecting War Fortress. Fellow daoists, come with me!" This black-faced giant man's aura was very peculiar; even Han Li could not judge his cultivation stage for a moment, and could only vaguely feel that the other party seemed to possess some kind of special divine ability, and his power looked extremely terrifying.
"So it is Senior Bing; how could we dare to trouble Senior to wait here again." Lady Yin Yue and the middle-aged man who had advanced to Body Integration, upon seeing the black-faced giant man, were greatly startled and hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.
Liu Shui'er and other existences who were stationed in Cloud City for a long time also changed their expressions greatly and stepped forward to pay their respects.
Han Li subconsciously frowned secretly, but also arched his hands toward the other party without changing his expression.
"Lady Yue and Fellow Daoist Ning have already advanced to the Saint stage; from now on, you can interact with me as peers, no need to be so polite. Everyone, follow me to see Elder Weng!" The giant man waved his hands at Lady Yin Yue and the two who had advanced, smiling.
"What, Elder Weng is in the fortress!" The middle-aged man with the surname Ning was startled first, and then overjoyed.
Others also breathed a sigh of relief.
Since there was this Great Ascension stage Heavenly Cloud Supreme Elder here, they thought that no matter how bad the situation was, it wouldn't be too bad.
The black-faced giant man nodded with a smile and said nothing more, leading the way directly toward a certain mountain peak.
Han Li and the others naturally followed closely, while the hundred or so warriors divided into two teams, guarding the few people from left and right.
After a moment, after everyone climbed over the tall mountain peak, a fortress several li in size appeared before their eyes.
This fortress was surrounded by walls, and silver-white statues were crouching on the walls. They were in various forms, some animal-like, some human-like; the large ones were over a hundred zhang, and the small ones were seven or eight zhang tall, all motionless, but an inexplicable baleful aura was emanating from them.
On the city walls, there were rows of green-armored guards holding long spears, patrolling in an orderly manner, but there was no sign of life on them; they were all human-shaped puppets.
And near the fortress, there were more than a dozen giant metal puppets several hundred zhang tall, each holding swords and standing there.
In the low altitude of the fortress, there were several strange light formations over ten zhang wide, flashing with strange spiritual light, with unknown mysterious uses.
This was exactly the Myriad Ancient Clan fortress that Han Li had visited once before.
This place was also the headquarters of the Myriad Ancient Clan in Cloud City, but at this moment, the numerous escape lights flying in and out of the fortress clearly belonged to various clans, and it had become a temporary command center.
Led by the black-faced man, Han Li and the others landed directly in front of the Spirit-Connecting Hall, and then, under the scanning of two white-robed guards at the door, they entered the hall one after another.
There were not many people in the hall, only three; one of them was sitting in a chair, his expression indifferent and calm; it was exactly the Great Ascension stage existence of the Heavenly Cloud Clan, the youth with the surname Weng.
The two people standing beside him were only existences of the Void Refinement stage, both listening respectfully to the youth's instructions.
"Greetings, Supreme Elder!"
Lady Yin Yue and the middle-aged man, as soon as they entered the hall, immediately led the others forward to pay their respects.
"Oh, you have returned. Not bad, not bad, two of you have actually advanced to the Saint stage. All rise." The youth, upon seeing Lady Yin Yue and the middle-aged man with the surname Ning, had his eyes brighten slightly, and he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Lady Yin Yue and the others naturally stood up as ordered.
And the youth with the surname Weng then scanned the others.
Han Li didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he felt that after the other party saw him, the smile in the corner of his eyes seemed to be even more than when he saw Lady Yin Yue and the middle-aged man with the surname Ning advance.
Thinking about the "Heavenly Gang Seal" that the other party had given him for no reason back then, Han Li felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.
Fortunately, after the youth looked at Han Li, he moved his gaze away and waved his hand at the two people beside him.
Immediately, the two Void Refinement stage existences tactfully bid farewell and walked out.
