Chapter 2059

Although Blood Raven City is not large, it is the only supply point in the vicinity, so it is not surprising that a demon venerable might temporarily reside or pass through here. Moreover, even if someone harbors ulterior motives, would they dare to deeply offend the Hai family and act against us? On the other hand, the true spirit bone we happened to discover is of great importance—it is one of the essential materials we Hai family need to forge that supreme treasure. If we can bring it back, the benefits are self-evident. No matter how difficult, this item must be obtained by any means. After pondering for a while, the demon clan 'lady' spoke with a grim expression.

But, Lady! That person might be a demon venerable—how could we possibly obtain this spirit bone? Another demon clan man said with difficulty.

If it truly is a demon venerable, that would indeed be a major trouble. Since this person dares to show no respect to our Hai family, nine times out of ten he is the type who wanders alone, hence acting so recklessly. However, while he does not care about us three here, it does not mean he has no fear of others. The demon clan 'lady' said with a cold laugh.

What do you mean, Lady? The two demon clan men were startled upon hearing this, exchanging glances.

You go inquire about the whereabouts of the three brothers of the Nan family, while I will visit the lord of Blood Raven City. The Nan family still owes our Hai family a significant favor, and if I recall correctly, Bing Qianren seems to be from Tian Mang Valley, so he will not easily refuse our request. If they agree to help, we still have a good chance of obtaining the spirit bone. The demon clan 'lady' said, having made up her mind.

This plan is excellent! If the three brothers of the Nan family and Bing Qianren join forces to apply pressure, that person will likely not persist over a mere rib of spirit bone. After all, we have no intention of obtaining this spirit bone for nothing. One of the demon clan men exclaimed with delight upon hearing this.

The other also nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Since you two also find no problem with this, let us act immediately. There is currently a beast 'tide' nearby, so that person likely cannot leave Blood Raven City in the short term—thus we need not worry that he will immediately take the spirit bone and flee. The demon clan 'lady' said, her expression softening, and gave the formal order.

Yes, Lady. The two demon clan men bowed their bodies and replied in unison.

……

At the same time, Han Li was already inside a large shop covering several mu, and had received several pieces of metal ore flashing with a faint luster from a demon clan shopkeeper, which he was carefully examining.

But soon, disappointment appeared on his face; he shook his head and returned all the ores to the shopkeeper who was gazing eagerly at him, then turned and left without looking back.

As expected, the demon gold was hollow inside, just as previously anticipated.

It seems finding the same crystal pearl is truly a matter of opportunity.

Han Li failed to achieve his goal, having roughly surveyed all the shops in Blood Raven City, so he had no intention of lingering on the streets and instead directly returned to his residence.

The matter of being blocked by the demon clan 'lady' earlier seemed to have not even crossed his mind.

Half a day passed in an instant; when the day's 'color' began to grow dim, the entire Blood Raven City was gradually shrouded in a mass of darkness.

Aside from some demon clan guards patrolling back and forth, everywhere in the city began to grow quiet, and the streets were devoid of any human figure.

Blood Raven City once again entered a state of martial law.

After several more hours, Han Li, who was sitting cross-legged in the room, suddenly had a flicker in his expression, a trace of surprise flashing across his face. He then made a hand seal, and with a flash of azure mist light across his body, he vanished without a trace from the room.

Shortly afterward, in the high sky several hundred zhang above Han Li's residence, a faint fluctuation occurred, and a cluster of green light—almost impossible to discern clearly—flashed into view and immediately fled ghostlike. After a few flashes, it reached the horizon, completely unaffected by the city's flight prohibition restriction.

But after a few breaths, another gray light broke through the space from another direction, flashing almost past above Han Li's residence, seemingly moving faster than that cluster of green light.

Both escape lights were soundless and extremely faint; under the night 'color', if not observed up close, they would truly be impossible to detect from afar—clearly, both had employed some concealment secret technique.

In the lightning-fast chase, the two escape lights vanished from the horizon's end in an instant.

At this moment, the void fluctuated, and a third figure emerged vaguely, then coldly gazed toward the direction where the two escape lights had disappeared.

It was Han Li, who had detected their traces in advance.

With Han Li's powerful spiritual sense, even without deliberately releasing it, nothing within a radius of several li could escape his perception.

Although the owners of the two earlier escape lights could have evaded the patrol of the demon clan guards, they could not possibly hide from him.

Given his current divine abilities, unless the Holy Ancestor himself arrived in person, he would naturally fear no danger.

Moreover, the fact that the two earlier individuals were not restricted by the city's flight prohibition and were secretly pursuing each other in the dead of night clearly indicates they are involved in some shameful matter.

This aroused a bit of interest in him.

"Idling is idling, so let's go take a look." Han Li murmured a few low words after sinking into thought in place, then his body moved and he transformed into a faint azure light, shooting forth in pursuit.

His spiritual sense had already locked onto the two ahead; although he could instantly catch up with them using teleportation technique, he deliberately slowed his pace, leisurely following far behind.

He intended to see just how far these two could run in this small Blood Raven City.

And with Han Li's divine abilities, these two would naturally not notice the presence of a third person behind them, merely fleeing headlong in panic.

Before long, the two arrived near the city wall, one after the other.

But at this moment, a small squad of demon clan guards happened to be patrolling and came toward them head-on.

Each guard wore black 'color' battle armor, held a red 'color' long spear several zhang in length, and the leader had a magical beast resembling a two-headed goat beneath him.

Seeing this, the cluster of green light ahead paused slightly in its escape light, but did not immediately evade; instead, it made a turn, intending to rely on the excellence of its concealment technique to sweep directly past from nearby.

The other figure flying in pursuit behind, seemingly afraid of losing the target, had its escape light flicker slightly, closely following the trajectory ahead without omission, and likewise had no intention of evading.

Under the full power of their concealment secret technique, the two escape lights transformed into a transparent state, indistinguishable to the naked eye.

If it were ordinary demon clan guards, they would most likely fail to detect their traces, allowing them to sweep past nearby in broad daylight.

But just as the green light ahead flickered past the patrol squad, the leader of the demon clan suddenly emitted a sharp cry from his body, followed by a silver thread shooting forth—indeed, it truly struck the invisible green 'color' light cluster.

It turns out this leader guard actually possesses a top-tier magical device capable of autonomous sensing!

The previously concealed light cluster instantly stumbled and revealed its true form. Seeing this, the demon clan guards were all startled, but immediately reacted and swung their long spears, releasing blade lights over ten zhang long that slashed down madly.

The leader guard, without hesitation, raised his palm high into the sky, and a black light shot forth.

A mournful long cry shattered the sky, transmitting straight to the ninth heaven beyond the clouds.

"Not good"

A startled and angry low shout came from within the green light cluster, inside which a vague human figure suddenly flickered.

Under the frenzied flashing of blade lights, the green 'color' light cluster was instantly severed into over ten pieces, but the interior was empty—there was not even a trace of a human figure left.

The lead demon guard seemed indeed different from the ordinary; he immediately reacted, pulling the magical beast to turn its body.

Only then did one see, in the void thirty zhang ahead of their group, a fluctuation occur, and a green light burst forth from the void, then flashed and shot toward the nearby city wall.

"Intercept him"

The lead demon guard, enraged, immediately shouted loudly, simultaneously slamming one hand hard onto one head of the magical beast beneath him.

"Puff puff" two sounds—under the shaking of the two heads of the magical beast, it actually simultaneously spat out two arcs of blue 'color' electricity, which flashed and arrived behind the distant green 'color' figure, then came down heavily.

The figure within the green rainbow, upon hearing the sound, merely reached back with one hand, and a cluster of green misty aura light rolled out.

The two blue arcs let out a booming sound as they sank into the aura light, yet produced no further abnormal noise—indeed, they seemed to have no effect at all.

After the green 'color' figure's body light brightened, it instantly transformed into a green rainbow and vanished in a flash.

Seeing this, the other demon clan guards approaching from all directions were startled in their hearts and could not help but halt their advance.

The lead demon guard, furious and startled, yet wanted to urge his magical beast to pursue.

But just then, a sharp cry rang out from its body, and another silver thread flashed and shot out to the side.

But this time, a gloomy cold snort echoed from the void, and a patch of blood 'color' flashed into view.

The silver thread struck the blood 'color', yet emitted a clear ringing sound as it bounced back, while that trace of blood 'color' suddenly sank into the void and vanished without a trace.

"Impossible, this divine ability is..." the leading demon guard blurted out in shock, but immediately his face 'color' turned pale as he recalled something, and his words abruptly cut off.

But at the same moment, the demon beast that had originally intended to leap out also instantly remained motionless in place.

"Leader my lord, should we still pursue them? Relying solely on the guards there, they probably cannot stop these two who violated the ban." The other demon guards, witnessing all this, were naturally bewildered; one demon hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked.

"Forget it, these two possess vast divine abilities, beyond what we can provoke; let them go." After the leading demon guard's face 'color' shifted several times, he forced a smile and said.

The other demon guards, upon hearing this, all showed expressions of astonishment on their faces.

How could their leader, a man of such lofty pride and arrogance, make such an evaluation of two figures whose appearances they hadn't even clearly seen? This was truly the first time they had encountered such a thing.

While these demon guards were filled with suspicion, the two ahead had already, amidst a clamor at the city wall, flashed and escaped from Blood Raven City in an instant.

The restrictions set up on the city walls seemed as if they did not exist at all, offering no obstruction whatsoever to the two.

Han Li felt a surge of astonishment in his heart, but after concealing his form, he also flashed past beside the leading demon guard; that silver thread, originally extremely effective, produced no reaction whatsoever to Han Li, who was right before it.

After a few drifts, he also flew to the city wall, and with a slight flick of his body, he silently slipped through the restriction.
