Chapter 1881
"On this point, Fellow Daoist, rest assured; I still have some confidence in concealment and transformation. Unless I encounter a Mahayana Realm senior of your clan, detection secret techniques will not have any effect on me." Han Li said confidently.
No wonder he said so!
His body indeed contained true Sky Roc spirit blood, and coupled with the Wind and Lightning Wings having been cultivated to the point of being connected to his mind, pretending to be a Sky Roc guard was naturally a seamless matter.
"Hmm, it is naturally a good thing that you are so confident, Fellow Daoist. Holy Master Lan, I will have to trouble you once we reach the Earth Abyss." Jin Yue nodded and turned to the silver-robed woman beside her.
"Great Elder, rest assured. I indeed have a secret technique that requires the use of Ice Fiend Qi to cultivate, and I have been to the Earth Abyss once decades ago for this reason. I believe those guards will not suspect anything." The silver-robed woman respectfully said to Jin Yue, but as her beautiful eyes flowed, she couldn't help but glance at Han Li, and a trace of shock still faintly appeared on her face.
Although she had known before setting off that Han Li, who had helped them back then, had returned to the Holy City as a mid-stage Saint Realm existence, seeing him with her own eyes now still left her extremely shocked.
Although she had seen back in the Earth Abyss that Han Li's divine abilities were far beyond those of the same rank, it was still truly unbelievable that he had reached the mid-stage of the Saint Realm in just a few hundred years!
However, having become a Holy Master, she naturally would not show any loss of composure on the surface. When meeting Han Li, she only thanked him for his great kindness in the Earth Abyss back then with the etiquette of a junior, and hid all her doubts in the bottom of her heart.
As for the other Holy Master of the Sky Roc Clan, "Bai Bi," it was said that she was in seclusion cultivating a certain technique and could not come out to meet Han Li.
Hearing Lei Lan say this, Jin Yue showed a smile on her face, nodded, and said nothing more.
Thus, the streaks of light transformed by the group were extremely fast, and in an instant, they left the Holy City far behind, leaving no trace.
Several months later, Han Li and his group finally saw the giant city guarding the Earth Abyss again, as well as the row of figures in armor on the city wall.
Jin Yue narrowed her eyes slightly and immediately took Han Li and Lei Lan, flying directly towards a certain city gate under the city wall.
At the green city gate, more than a dozen Earth Abyss guards with feathered wings of various colors were looking up at them with vigilant eyes.
The streaks of light converged, and the three of them immediately appeared in front of these guards.
Han Li had already slightly changed his appearance, and at the same time, he instantly suppressed his internal magic power to the level of the Void Refinement Realm.
"Are you seniors from the Sky Roc Clan? I wonder what business you have here? It is not yet the time for the rotation of guards for the various tribes!" The leader of the guards, who was at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement Realm, bowed slightly to Jin Yue and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Although he could not see Jin Yue's exact cultivation level with his own, he knew that the other party must be a Saint Realm existence.
As for Han Li and Lei Lan, they seemed to have been ignored by this person.
No wonder the other party had this attitude.
Because the guards here fought against the demon beasts of the Earth Abyss all year round, their true strength and divine abilities were far beyond those of the same rank in the various tribes, so they naturally didn't feel any awe towards visitors from other tribes.
Jin Yue was not angry at this situation; she smiled slightly, raised her hand, and a blue jade token flew out, flashing and landing in the other party's hand.
The leader of the guards took the jade token with some doubt, looked at it intently, his expression changed slightly, and he returned the jade token with both hands, saying respectfully:
"So it is Great Elder Jin of the Sky Roc Clan. This junior was truly rude just now."
"According to the agreement signed by the various tribes back then, we Great Elders are qualified to enter and leave this place at any time. You shouldn't have any more questions, right?" Jin Yue took back the jade token and said indifferently.
"Naturally, how would this junior dare to block you." The guard replied without hesitation, then waved his hand, and the other guards who were originally blocking the city gate immediately lined up on both sides, revealing a passage for entry and exit.
Jin Yue was not polite; after nodding, she immediately took Han Li and the other two and walked slowly into the city gate.
On the other side of the city gate, it was naturally the same as when Han Li came hundreds of years ago. Everywhere he looked, there were cylindrical pavilions about thirty or forty feet high, densely packed, occupying most of the city area.
However, there were very few figures walking in the city, and only a few teams of guards could be vaguely seen in the distance in the low sky, patrolling the entire giant city.
"Let's go, we don't need to stay here overnight!" Jin Yue suddenly transmitted her voice to Han Li and the other two, then took off into the air again and flew directly towards the other end of the giant city.
Han Li and Lei Lan followed closely behind without saying a word.
An hour later, the three of them arrived in front of another green giant wall. On the side of this giant wall facing the city, a giant silver-shining magic array was engraved.
In front of this magic array, there was another group of guards wearing battle armor of various colors, guarding there.
However, what was somewhat strange was that apart from this group of guards standing straight, there was another middle-aged man in green armor behind them, sitting on a cushion with his eyes closed tightly.
Upon seeing this man, Han Li felt a chill in his heart. Jin Yue's pupils also couldn't help but constrict suddenly.
This young man was none other than the guard commander of this place, Jin Feng, whom Han Li had seen back then, also a terrifying existence whose cultivation had reached the late-stage of the Saint Realm.
Why would this person appear here, looking like he was personally guarding the entrance to the Earth Abyss?
Countless thoughts flashed through Jin Yue's mind, but she did not show the slightest strange expression on her face; instead, she smiled slightly and spoke:
"It is actually Commander Jin appearing here; this truly makes me somewhat surprised. Since we parted hundreds of years ago, have you been well?"
Hearing Jin Yue's voice, the man in green armor moved his eyebrows and slowly opened his eyes.
"I was wondering who it was; it is actually Fairy Jin of the Sky Roc Clan. Why are you not cultivating in the Sky Roc Clan, but appearing here?" The man asked very directly.
"This seems to be a question I should ask. Since when does the entrance to the Earth Abyss need Commander Jin to guard it personally?" Jin Yue asked with a light smile.
"Hmm, naturally I wouldn't come out personally in normal times, but now that a major event has occurred here, I have no choice but to come out personally." Jin Feng said with extreme calmness.
"A major event?" Jin Yue was stunned.
"A month ago, I received news that someone had robbed the mineral warehouse in the depths of the Earth Abyss, looting all the rare ores mined over the years, and also killing and injuring half of the guards there. This thief's divine abilities are truly extraordinary. I have already sent a large number of law enforcement officers into the Earth Abyss. This is the only place to enter and exit the Earth Abyss, and now the city is slightly empty, and ordinary guards are afraid they cannot stop this person. I have no choice but to sit here personally!" Jin Feng chuckled and said.
"There is actually such a thing! If I remember correctly, isn't the mineral vein of the Earth Abyss guarded by Elder Qin personally! Could it be that even with Elder Qin's cultivation, he cannot do anything to this thief!" Jin Yue was startled and asked in disbelief.
"This thief is very cunning; he took action suddenly during the half-day that Elder Qin happened to be away from the mineral vein. By the time Elder Qin returned after receiving the news, he had already succeeded and escaped. Now, Fairy Jin, can you tell me the reason for coming here? Although the Great Elder has the right to enter and leave the Earth Abyss, there must be a proper reason." After sighing, the man in green armor suddenly flashed a sharp light in his eyes and stared at Jin Yue.
"It is not that I have something to do in the Earth Abyss, but that Holy Master Lei Lan of our clan needs to use the Ice Fiend Qi to cultivate, so she has to enter the Earth Abyss again." Jin Yue pointed at Lei Lan and replied with a charming smile.
The silver-robed woman immediately stepped forward, bowed deeply to the man in green armor very obediently, and greeted:
"Lei Lan pays respects to Senior Jin!"
"Holy Master Lei Lan! Hmm, I recognize Holy Master Lei; I have also heard reports from subordinates before that Holy Master Lei indeed has a precedent of entering the Earth Abyss to cultivate. Since that is the case, you can naturally enter again. And with Fairy Jin accompanying you, even if the situation in the Earth Abyss is somewhat dangerous now, I believe safety will absolutely not be a problem. However, who is this person? Is there a need for him to enter the Earth Abyss as well?" The man in green armor nodded first, but after his gaze turned to Han Li, he frowned and asked.
"This is a junior of mine; his aptitude is considered not bad, and he is currently serving as the personal guard of Holy Master Lei Lan, and he also needs to enter the Earth Abyss together." Jin Yue's expression did not change, and she replied calmly.
"Since Fairy Jin is accompanying you, what kind of guard do you need? I think he doesn't need to enter anymore. After all, the situation in the Earth Abyss is somewhat complicated now; if we can have fewer people enter, it is better to have fewer." The man in green armor narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Li twice before suddenly saying this.
Upon hearing this, Lei Lan's expression changed slightly, and Han Li's expression also moved.
Jin Yue, on the contrary, did not show the slightest panic; she just shook her head and said:
"This is afraid not! Although Han nephew is only a guard, he has a deep relationship with the Holy Master, and he is also crucial to Holy Master Lei's cultivation this time, so he must enter the Earth Abyss together. If not for this, why would I bring him here from thousands of miles away?"
"Fairy Jin, are you joking! What relationship can a guard have with Holy Master Lei's cultivation." The man in green armor was stunned, but then laughed dumbly, looking somewhat disbelieving.
Seeing this, Jin Yue smiled slightly, and her lips moved, but no sound came out; she directly transmitted her voice to the man.
As a result, a moment later, the man in green armor first looked somewhat confused, then a trace of realization appeared, and he chuckled with a twitch of his mouth.
"So that's how it is. Since that's the case, I have nothing more to say. Let the three of you go in together." This Commander Jin said, and swept his strange gaze back and forth over Han Li and Lei Lan several times.
Although Han Li and Lei Lan did not show anything on their faces, they felt somewhat confused in their hearts.
But since they heard the other party loosen his mouth, the two of them naturally thanked him one after another.
