Chapter 1968: Abandoned City

As for the other incarnation fighting with the spiritual body in the distance, it seemed to have received a message. The blood light on its body surged, forcing the spiritual body back, and it also shot away into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the three gathered together, their escape lights connecting into one, fleeing toward the horizon.

"Brat, this matter is absolutely impossible to end just like this. This time, I didn't have my handy treasures with me, which is why I couldn't do anything to you. But next time we meet, I will definitely extract your soul and refine your spirit to avenge this grudge!"

The leading youth's gloomy voice came rumbling, but by the time he said the last few words, the blood light he had transformed into had already vanished at the end of the horizon.

Once this demon decided to retreat, he actually left with extraordinary decisiveness, not even turning his head back once.

It seemed he was very certain that Han Li would definitely not take the opportunity to pursue and kill him.

The golden-furred giant ape floated straight in mid-air, looking at the direction where the great enemy had disappeared, with no expression on its face. Sure enough, it had no intention of moving to pursue.

Not only that, the spiritual body in the distance formed a hand seal with one hand, disappearing in place. But after fluctuations, it appeared beside the giant ape again, standing with hands folded, motionless.

The giant ape suddenly let out a cold snort, golden light flashed on its body, and the three-headed, six-armed dharma image shattered and vanished. Then, with a stomp of its foot, its body shrank hundreds of times, and the golden fur fell off simultaneously, restoring its human form.

And Han Li, who had restored his original appearance, did not show joy, but instead swept a glance toward the horizon in the distance, a trace of solemnity appearing on his face.

"Just a few mere incarnations, and they were already so tricky. If the main body were to arrive, I don't know how strong it would be! The Mahayana stage's power is indeed well-deserved! No, it's even three times more terrifying than the rumors." Han Li muttered a few words before finally withdrawing his gaze, then beckoned to the spiritual body beside him.

The spiritual body flickered, transforming into a faint green shadow that shot toward him, and with a flash, it sank into his body and vanished.

The thirteen purple-patterned gold-devouring beetles also circled and flew over.

Han Li rolled his sleeves, releasing a sheet of green light to collect the spirit insects into his sleeves. Then, he closed his eyes and began to chant incantations while forming hand seals with one hand.

A blood rune the size of a thumb appeared between his brows, flashing with soft light.

After only a short while, Han Li opened his eyes, a look of joy appearing on his face as he muttered to himself:

"Sure enough, it works. That Ziyan Cauldron didn't fly too far!"

As soon as the words fell, Han Li changed his magic technique, his ten fingers continuously changing into various complex hand seals, while the blood rune between his brows also flickered on and off.

Not long after, a sound of breaking air came from the horizon in another direction, and a black escape light shot over.

In the escape light, there was a purple round object, exactly that Ziyan Cauldron that had flown away on its own earlier.

However, when this cauldron flew to a distance of several hundred zhang from Han Li, it suddenly paused its escape light, revealing the original form of the purple small cauldron.

The cauldron's surface purple light expanded and contracted, emitting a low humming sound, appearing quite hesitant to approach Han Li.

But the connection between it and Han Li produced by the blood rune made the cauldron unwilling to leave either.

Han Li looked at the small cauldron, the joy on his face deepening. The blood rune flashed, flying directly out from between his brows and spinning in front of him.

At the same time, his incantation grew louder, and his ten fingers flicked, shooting out colorful magic techniques that vanished into the small cauldron in a flash.

The small cauldron trembled, immediately emitting a clear chime like a dragon's roar, and with a move, it shot directly toward the blood rune.

Light flashed, and the blood rune sank into the small cauldron.

The cauldron's surface immediately glowed with a layer of blood color, and at the same time, the long chime grew higher and clearer, appearing incredibly happy.

Seeing this, Han Li also smiled slightly, then pointed lightly at the small cauldron.

The purple small cauldron shook, and actually flew over obediently, finally transforming into a miniature size of a few inches, landing steadily in his palm.

Han Li was overjoyed, exhaling a long breath, lifting the small cauldron to his eyes, and examining it carefully with blue light flashing in his eyes.

He saw the small cauldron was light purple, but there were many unknown runes engraved on its surface, and there was a layer of faint black gas wrapping the entire cauldron.

Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly. Suddenly, spiritual light flashed in his palm holding the small cauldron, and several golden and silver runes appeared silently, sticking onto the small cauldron in a flash.

The small tripod only had time for a low hum before the spiritual light on its surface suddenly became dull and lifeless, no longer possessing its original, almost eerie, psychic appearance.

Not only that, Han Li's ten fingers moved, thunder roared, and countless golden electric arcs shot out from his fingertips, transforming into a golden electric net that wrapped the entire small cauldron inside.

After the electric light crackled and shrank, a golden small ball appeared in his palm.

Han Li's expression relaxed, and his other palm flipped, revealing a box as white as jade.

The golden ball was put into it in a flash.

One sleeve flicked quickly over the box, and more than a dozen colorful talismans shot out. After sticking, they immediately formed several micro-talisman arrays deeply embedded in the box lid.

Han Li had actually sealed the small cauldron temporarily in a few quick moves.

After putting away the jade box, he exhaled a long breath, truly relaxing his entire body.

Although this Ziyan Cauldron was successfully retrieved from the Bloodlight Saint Ancestor incarnation using the secret technique taught by Che Qigong, and finally grabbed into his hand, this treasure contained a strand of that old demon's spiritual sense. Without driving out this strand of spiritual sense and re-refining it, how could he dare to use it or keep it on his person?

However, being able to obtain such a Profound Heaven remnant treasure made Han Li truly happy, but at the same time, he felt a bit of heartache for the destruction of the Ten Thousand Sword Map.

He had just finished refining this treasure, originally intending it to be a great weapon to deal with the Demon Race army. As a result, it vanished into nothingness after just one battle, which naturally made him feel somewhat depressed.

But when Han Li recalled what the leading demon said when he left, his expression couldn't help but become solemn again.

Just as that demon said, the reason he was able to force back these three Mahayana incarnations this time was mainly because they were unprepared and rushed over, plus the two Profound Heaven remnant treasures they relied on had accidents, which was why they ended up in such a sorry state.

If they borrowed treasures from the other incarnation leading the Demon Race army and were prepared for his method of influencing the Color-Light Pagoda, whether he could still repel these three Bloodlight Saint Ancestor incarnations next time was truly hard to say.

Han Li thought silently, his gaze flickering.

Suddenly, he laughed lightly.

"I'm really worrying too much! How could I give them a second chance to block me? Calculating the time, if they go to the Demon Race's main camp, it would take at least three or four months. And in such a long time, I would have long since secretly run back to Tianyuan City. In the future, as long as I don't leave Tianyuan City, I should be fine." Han Li thought with a relaxed heart, his face restoring its normal color.

However, before that, he still needed to do one more thing, which was to go to the Yellow Springs Earth Fire not too far from here.

On one hand, he had made a vow to that Che Qigong, and he didn't want to suffer the backlash of inner demons.

On the other hand, he was indeed greatly tempted by that Chaos Qi.

Now that the Bloodlight Saint Ancestor incarnation had retreated after being damaged, he thought they would definitely not be able to make a comeback in a short time, which was the perfect opportunity to do this.

However, since that Che Qigong was also a Demon Race Saint Ancestor, he naturally would not believe everything the other said, and must secretly make some precautions before doing as the other said.

As for Yitian City, since these Integration stage existences had been defeated, he thought it was impossible to hold it, so there was no need to go back.

Han Li's mind was agile, and in the blink of an eye, he had made up his mind. Turning around, green light flashed on his body, and he transformed into a green rainbow, flying into the sky.

At the same time, the giant demon, already tens of thousands of miles away, retracted its dharma body, released the blood-colored small boat again, let the other two incarnations stand on it, and urged the treasure to rush toward Yitian City.

On the way, the three Bloodlight Saint Ancestor incarnations were all wooden-faced, not saying a word.

A few days later, the three demons saw the city wall of Yitian City, which had collapsed by half, from afar. Above Yitian City, pitch-black demonic Qi had long since spread, covering half of the giant city.

After the blood-colored small boat approached the city wall by a distance, the demonic Qi above the city wall rolled, and a team of armored soldiers riding demonic beasts respectfully welcomed them.

"Immediately open the teleportation array closest to the Saint Race army! We are leaving this place immediately!" The leading youth waited for those Wanxiang Demon Cavalry to get closer before giving a cold order.

"Obey, Saint Ancestor Lord!"

The scene of the Bloodlight Saint Ancestor's divine sense descending and attaching earlier had been seen by all the mid-to-high-level demons here. These Wanxiang Demon Cavalry naturally recognized this Saint Ancestor incarnation, and the leading knight bowed humbly and agreed.

Half a month later, the green rainbow transformed by Han Li was traveling at high speed at an altitude of ten thousand zhang.

At this moment, his escape light was incredibly faint, and he used all his magic power to restrain the fluctuations within. If it weren't for a cultivator with great divine abilities using their spiritual sense or spiritual eyes to observe carefully, it would be absolutely impossible to discover the existence of the green rainbow.

Now Han Li was flying over a human city.

This city was not large, even before the Demon Race descended, it was only the scale of a small city. But at this moment, it was covered in weeds and ruins, and not a single shadow of a person could be seen, having been abandoned by humans for over a hundred years.

With Han Li's escape speed, he could have swept over the city in an instant, but after his spiritual sense swept over the city below, he suddenly let out a light "Yi", his escape light pausing in the high sky, and the green light converged to reveal his original form.

He swept his eyes downward, his gaze flickering, his face filled with surprise! ===== CHAPTER 1969 =====
