Chapter 1931: Enraged
Although the cruel and violent expression of the Heavenly Ghost could still be seen on the face of the head, a trace of horror remained in its wide-open eyes.
It was as if this Heavenly Ghost had seen something incredible the moment its head was severed, leaving it unable to close its eyes in death.
"Brother Han, that fleeing Demon Race member..." The Silver Light Immortal looked at the Heavenly Ghost head and asked with some surprise.
"Immortal, rest assured, that person and the other three Heavenly Ghosts have all been beheaded by me." Han Li grinned, revealing a smile. He shook his sleeve, and a mass of black light flew out, wrapping a green small door a few inches in size.
It was exactly the Demonic Heavenly Ghost Gate released by the bald Demon Race member earlier!
Now, this ghost gate was miniature and exquisite, its light abnormally dim, seemingly damaged.
"Great. If this demon is eliminated, there is no possibility of our whereabouts being leaked. This time, being able to wipe out three Demon Race Venerables completely relies on Brother Han's astonishing divine abilities. If it weren't for Linglong mentioning a thing or two about Fellow Daoist Han to me back then, I truly wouldn't have dared to believe that you have only been cultivating for a mere two thousand years." The Silver Light Immortal was overjoyed and couldn't help but marvel.
"I was just lucky. The cultivation technique I practice happens to have some restraining effect on most of the demonic and ghostly techniques of the Demon Race. If compared to other fellow daoists of the same rank, my divine abilities might not necessarily be much stronger. However, please do not forget the matter you promised me, Immortal." Han Li spoke modestly, but then suddenly said with deep meaning.
"Please rest assured, Brother Han. Since I promised you, I naturally have some certainty. Linglong and I are of the same clan; passing a message for you is not a very difficult matter. It's just that Linglong is currently by Senior Xiao Ao's side, and I cannot establish contact for the time being." The Silver Light Immortal laughed lightly and said.
"Then Han thanks you, Immortal. If Fellow Daoist Silver Light has any matters that require Han's effort in the future, I will naturally do my best." Han Li smiled slightly and replied.
"This is just a small effort, Brother Han, no need for so much courtesy!" Upon hearing Han Li's words, the Silver Light Immortal's eyes lit up, and she replied happily.
Han Li's divine abilities far exceeded her imagination, not inferior to late-stage Body Integration cultivators at all. Being able to have such a great divine ability cultivator owe her a favor would naturally be of great help to her future cultivation path.
After the two discussed a few more things, they immediately erased all traces of the battle nearby and then set off again, continuing to shoot toward Yitian City.
Han Li folded his hands in his sleeves and transformed into a faint green rainbow, flying through the air at a leisurely pace. He seemed to have completely recovered from the previous battle, but in one of his sleeves, his five fingers were gently stroking a milky-white wooden box.
Deep in his eyes, a thoughtful expression flashed from time to time.
This wooden box was one of the spoils of war he obtained from the bald Demon Race member after using the Profound Heaven Broken Blade once again.
At first, he hadn't paid attention to this item, but after discovering that neither divine sense nor spiritual eyes could penetrate the box, he naturally became very curious.
But there was clearly an extremely powerful barrier on the box, and with his divine abilities and array attainments, he couldn't easily break it. Han Li simply put this item away and hurried back.
Now, as his fingers stroked the surface of the wooden box, he could clearly feel the faint heat coming from the box.
But after only a cup of tea's time, the temperature of the wooden box dropped sharply, becoming abnormally cold, appearing extremely mysterious.
Han Li was somewhat surprised, and naturally became even more interested in the things sealed in the wooden box.
However, he was still on the road, so it was naturally not the time to seriously study the barrier on the wooden box. He could only wait until he reached Yitian City.
Han Li pondered this, and suddenly, five drops of blood beads shot out from his five fingers. With a flash, they transformed into several blood-colored runes and merged into the wooden box.
To be cautious, he used a barrier technique learned from an exotic race to lay down another layer of extremely profound barrier on the surface of the wooden box.
Then, with a flash of green light in his sleeve, the white wooden box disappeared, was collected into his storage bracelet, and Han Li drove his escape light with all his heart.
With the cultivation bases of the two of them, they flew over a million miles in a moment, and finally disappeared without a trace.
And almost at the same time, in a newly built demonic city countless tens of thousands of miles away, in a hall within a triangular giant tower about several thousand zhang tall, a roar suddenly erupted, followed by an ice-cold voice that transmitted out in extreme anger!
"What is going on! Three Demon Venerables were transporting an item, and yet an accident occurred. Those three pieces of trash, do they really want to be thrown into the Demon Transformation Pool?"
The speaker was a refined youth wearing a blood robe sitting on the main seat in the middle of the hall. His face was full of extreme shock and anger; he was exactly the incarnation of the Blood Light Holy Ancestor who had descended into this world.
Although this incarnation only had the cultivation base of late-stage Body Integration completion, in his rage, a giant demonic shadow over ten zhang tall suddenly appeared behind him.
This demonic shadow was blood-red all over, with over a dozen strange horns of different sizes on its head, and at the same time, several thick tentacles that were visible and invisible danced incessantly, actually resembling a giant octopus.
And the terrifying aura emitted from this demonic shadow was like a physical object, pressing against the four walls of the entire hall until they creaked, as if they would collapse at any moment.
The black-armored guards standing in the hall all changed color in the face of this aura, kneeling on the ground with their heads lowered, not daring to look at the Blood Light Holy Ancestor at all.
Only two high-level Demon Race members stood straight not far from the Blood Light Holy Ancestor, but seeing the Holy Ancestor in such a state, they couldn't help but look at each other.
"Lord Blood Light, I wonder what happened to make you so angry?" one of the men wearing a silver-threaded wide robe asked in surprise.
"I let three subordinates take a very important item out to handle a matter, but the trace of divine sense I left on that thing was actually isolated by someone using a secret technique. It seems those three guys must have encountered an accident; otherwise, such a thing would never have happened." The Blood Light Holy Ancestor's face lost its anger quickly, but he still said in an abnormally gloomy tone.
"There is actually such a thing! Logically speaking, it shouldn't be very likely. If three Demon Venerables go together, even if facing a late-stage Body Integration human cultivator, they should be enough to protect themselves. As for the human Mahayana cultivators, after being jointly injured by several Holy Ancestors when they entered the Holy World a thousand years ago, they shouldn't be showing their heads at this time." Another middle-aged beautiful woman wearing pink clothes with eyes like water also asked with some shock.
"It is indeed somewhat inconceivable that all three have fallen. But if someone knew the news in advance and snatched the treasure, it is not impossible. And I just tried to contact them using a secret technique, but there was no response. Someone, go and check if any soul fires of Demon Venerable level have been extinguished in the Soul Hall." The Blood Light Holy Ancestor nodded with an uncertain expression, then suddenly ordered loudly.
"Yes, Lord Holy Ancestor!" A black-armored guard nearby immediately agreed respectfully, then flew out of the hall silently.
Seeing this, the Blood Light Holy Ancestor leaned his body back against the chair, his eyes narrowed, and he stopped speaking.
The pair of male and female Demon Race members beside him naturally knew that this Holy Ancestor was in a bad mood, so they didn't dare to speak easily at this time.
The entire hall became silent for a time!
After a full cup of tea's time of strange silence, the black-armored guard appeared at the hall door again with a flash and hurried in.
"Reporting to the Holy Ancestor, the soul fires of three Demon Venerables have been extinguished one after another in the Soul Hall!" The Demon Race guard knelt on the ground and replied with some panic.
"Three?" The Blood Light Holy Ancestor's narrowed eyes opened wide, releasing astonishing piercing light.
At the same time, a muffled "crunch" sound came, and the chair armrest he was grabbing instantly turned into dust.
"Yes, Lord Holy Ancestor. According to the verification by the lord in charge of the Soul Hall, the ones whose soul fires were extinguished are exactly the three lords, including the Blue Venerable, who went out together a few days ago!" the guard replied cautiously.
And upon hearing these words, the Blood Light Holy Ancestor's face was already livid.
The silver-threaded robed man and the middle-aged beautiful woman beside him saw this scene and couldn't help but look at each other, feeling great horror in their hearts as well.
However, the two of them could naturally see that this Blood Light Holy Ancestor was shocked and angry not so much because of the fall of the three Demon Venerables, but rather because of the thing they had lost.
This made the two high-level Demon Venerables have all sorts of guesses about that thing.
"You two immediately set off with a team of Blood Light Crystal Guards and find the place where these three fell. Even if it was a Mahayana cultivator who made a move, it is impossible that not a single trace of battle was left behind. You must search every inch of land there inside and out, and you must find out which human cultivator made the move, as well as the whereabouts of these human cultivators. You two only need to focus on this matter, and notify me immediately once there is news!" The Blood Light Holy Ancestor pondered for a good while before finally making up his mind and ordering.
"Yes, Lord Blood Light!" This pair of high-level male and female Demon Race members bowed and accepted the order.
Half an hour later, a rolling blood cloud flew out from a certain level of the giant tower. Inside, one could faintly see ferocious Demon Race members wearing crystal-clear blood armor, numbering over a hundred. In an instant, they flew out of the demonic city and disappeared without a trace.
Over a month later, near a giant human city built by a lake, two escape lights hid themselves and shot over from the edge of the sky. After a few flashes, they landed on a nameless mountain peak nearby.
These two figures, one with silver clothes fluttering, one in a green robe, were exactly Han Li and the Silver Light Immortal, who had traveled hundreds of millions of miles and finally arrived near Yitian City.
But at this moment, their gazes toward Yitian City were both fixed, and their expressions were extremely solemn!
They saw that in the void in the direction of the wilderness on one side of Yitian City, tens of thousands of black giant boats were hovering, and between these battle boats, there were dense, everywhere, ferocious knights riding various sizes of demonic beasts.
These demonic beasts were all stepping on black clouds, wearing beast armor, clearly very different from those ordinary demonic beasts!
