Chapter Ten: War of the Demon Realm, Section 2669: Interception

"Please rest assured, Elder Long. As long as there is no Demon Sovereign present at the founding, we naturally need not reveal our Mahayana realm divine powers. We will simply seize the demon lizard and leave immediately, without doing anything unnecessary." The Holy Maiden of a Thousand Autumns smiled sweetly and replied with full confidence.

Han Li and the feather-clad maiden naturally had no objections.

Seeing this, the Long family elder nodded slightly.

Thus, in the following time, everyone began to carefully discuss the details of the operation and confirmed each step of the plan to be carried out.

After several hours, the Long family elder and Han Li and a few others left the cave dwelling and each returned to Phantom Night City.

In the following two months, Han Li continued his cultivation in the attic without success, quietly awaiting the agreed-upon time.

During this period, he also received several voice transmissions from the Long family elder, suggesting everything was proceeding unusually smoothly.

The Long family elder not only stirred the Zhao family into harboring rebellious intentions, but even under his meticulous arrangements, caused the two Zhao family Demon Sovereigns to decide to act personally.

However, during this period, the Long family elder remained in Phantom Night City the entire time and gave the Zhao family no opportunity to act.

On this day, as Han Li was meditating in the attic, a low hum suddenly came from his waist, and a cluster of white light flew out, instantly transforming into more than a dozen floating Bai Mengmeng characters that unfolded before him.

Han Li glanced at these characters a few times, smiled faintly, then rose and walked downstairs.

Upon reaching the main hall on the first floor of the attic, Zhu Guo'er was sitting honestly in a chair near the gate, resting her chin on one hand in a dazed state.

As soon as she saw Han Li come down from upstairs, the little girl immediately snapped back to attention and hurried over to pay her respects:

"This time, you don't need to stay here—come with me." Han Li gave a calm instruction, then walked straight toward the gate.

Zhu Guo'er listened, first startled, then immediately showed a look of delight.

She uttered an affirmative sound and hurriedly followed behind Han Li.

After all, during this time, although Han Li had not mistreated her, this girl, confined to such a small space in the attic, still felt extremely stifled, as if imprisoned. Now being able to leave and go out together naturally filled her with great joy.

After leaving the attic, Han Li took Zhu Guo'er on a beast-drawn carriage and departed Phantom Night City.

Just after leaving the city gate, Han Li's escape light surged forward, wrapping Zhu Guo'er as he sped toward a nameless hill nearby.

After a short while, when Han Li's piercing light descended.

Beneath a large tree on the summit, the disheveled-haired man of the Lin family had already been waiting there; upon seeing Han Li appear, he immediately smiled and stepped forward to greet him.

This Mahayana cultivator, though still appearing aged, had his originally gray-white hair turned black again, and his face now bore a few more traces of blood color.

All of this was clearly due to the effect of the Refined Essence Pill Han Li had taken that day.

"Han Brother truly keeps his word—this little girl is the junior you mentioned, right?" The disheveled-haired man glanced at Zhu Guo'er beside him, his eyes flashing as he asked.

"Indeed, this girl and I share some connection. Please, Fellow Daoist, take her back to the Spirit Realm. Once the Demon Realm affair is settled, I will come fetch her immediately." Han Li replied calmly.

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist—I took the pill, so I will naturally ensure her safety. Long Brother and the others are about to launch their plan in these two days; matters cannot be delayed, so I must depart today." The disheveled-haired man spoke solemnly.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Lin leaving two days earlier would be better. If we get implicated, it would only cause trouble." Han Li nodded in agreement, then turned to Zhu Guo'er and said:

"You being able to meet me here also counts as some affinity with me—I will help you return to your clan. This Fellow Daoist Lin is one of the supreme elders of several major human clans; following him, you will encounter no obstacles along the way. As for other matters, I will explain them in detail when we meet again."

Zhu Guo'er had been listening silently nearby, eyes wide open, her mouth twitching slightly, about to ask something in shock.

But at this moment, Han Li flicked his wide sleeve.

A burst of azure light rolled out, Han Li transformed into a streak of azure rainbow and shot straight into the sky, instantly leaving the place.

On the hilltop, only the disheveled-haired man and Zhu Guo'er remained, two lonely figures.

"Little girl, don't look. Han Brother has entrusted you to me—I will naturally take you to the Spirit Realm." The disheveled-haired man said calmly to Zhu Guo'er.

"Spirit Realm—Senior, you are truly of the human race! Could Han Han Qianbei also be?" Zhu Guo'er, exceptionally perceptive, regained her composure from shock but still found it hard to believe as she spoke.

"Hehe, with my status and Han Brother's, would we really need to deceive a little Golden Core girl like you?" The disheveled-haired man chuckled.

"But just now, Han Han Qianbei said he shares some connection with you, junior—what exactly is this? Senior, could you please explain a bit?" Zhu Guo'er excitedly pondered for a while, then suddenly recalled something and asked.

"I don't know about that. Didn't Han Brother mention it to you?" The disheveled-haired man asked, slightly surprised.

"I only just learned that Han Han Qianbei is not of the demon race—how could I know about any connection between us?" Zhu Guo'er shook her head repeatedly, her face showing confusion.

Yet deep in her heart, she suddenly recalled when Han Li first met her and inquired about the Reincarnation Technique, and a faint, uncertain guess stirred in her mind.

Although the disheveled-haired man was somewhat interested in the relationship between Zhu Guo'er and Han Li, he did not pursue it further at this time. After calmly saying a few more words, he raised his hand and summoned a dark, dull flying carriage, with several pseudo-flood dragon puppet beasts crouching in front, pulling it forward.

With a gesture from the man, the two boarded the carriage one after another, and under the puppet beasts' pull, they broke through the void and flew swiftly toward the wilderness.

Due to his concern about the Long family elder's impending actions, shortly after leaving the vicinity of Phantom Night City, the disheveled-haired man nearly drove the puppet beasts at full power.

Half a day later, the flying carriage appeared tens of millions of li away.

At this moment, beneath the flying carriage lay endless undulating hills, and not far off, a faint, continuous small mountain range could be seen, which they would soon fly past.

Just then, the disheveled-haired man suddenly heard a faint female voice in his ear:

"Since you've already come here, then come down."

As the words fell, the void above the carriage rippled, and countless pink petals blossomed across the sky, condensing into a colossal pink hand over a hundred zhang tall, which surged downward with furious force to crush the carriage.

For a moment, as the floral scent spread, it seemed as if the entire sky were collapsing, leaving no escape.

"Not good!"

Seeing this, the disheveled-haired man gasped in shock, cried out loudly—his left hand hastily forming a seal, while his right hand suddenly shot upward into the sky.

Instantly, the several puppet beasts pulling the carriage simultaneously lifted their heads skyward—thick, multicolored light pillars erupted from them, the carriage's crystal light flashed, and a layer of Bai Mengmeng light shield appeared, shielding those aboard.

At the same time, a black-qi-wrapped bone blade flashed from the man's hand and vanished in an instant, then, in a blink, transformed into a tens-of-zhang-long Bai Sensen giant blade, which he swung straight at the pink giant hand.

Wherever the giant blade passed, the nearby void blurred and twisted faintly, trembling incessantly, as if the void itself were about to shatter.

As a Mahayana cultivator, the disheveled-haired man, despite his greatly reduced cultivation, still struck with the force of heaven-splitting might when angered.

In the next instant, the light pillars and the giant blade struck the giant palm simultaneously.

A thunderous, heaven-shaking roar echoed, and the void within a hundred-li radius buzzed continuously.

The light pillars were swept away by the pink light radiating from the giant hand and vanished in a flash; the massive bone blade, under a deep, unfathomable, immense force pressing down, shattered inch by inch.

The Lin family Mahayana cultivator's pupils contracted, his face instantly turned pale and bloodless, just as he was about to unleash other divine powers to resist the giant hand—but it was already too late.

Only then did the pink light from above swirl downward; the light shield on the carriage tore apart instantly, and the disheveled-haired man felt countless pink strange flowers madly rushing toward him, his magic power suddenly stagnating and becoming ineffective, and within a strange fragrance, he instantly fell into a drowsy, muddled state.

But in the moment before he lost consciousness, he faintly heard Zhu Guo'er's terrified scream in his ears.

The disheveled man's mouth curled into a bitter smile.

Half a day ago, he was still boasting like Han Li, but now he couldn't even protect himself. If it weren't for his magic power being reduced by nearly half, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

This thought flashed through the man's mind, and then he lost consciousness, rolled over, and collapsed onto the flying cart.

After an hour, in a patch of dark forest, the disheveled man slowly woke up again.

The moment he opened his eyes, he immediately felt something strange about his body and hastily swept it away.

At this moment, he was surrounded by a cluster of pink blossom trees, his body wrapped in layers of strange flowers, appearing pleasing to the eye, yet he felt utterly powerless, his dantian empty as if no magic power remained.

The disheveled man's heart sank, and he then shifted his gaze to scan the nearby area.

Before he could truly see anything, a rough male voice suddenly shouted from the side:

"Treasure Flower Lord, this human boy has already awakened."

The man's heart jolted, and without thinking further, he hastily turned toward the sound.

On a dirt mound to the side, there stood a hideously faced black-armored giant with hands on his hips, glaring ferociously as he scrutinized the man up and down.

"He is a demon race demon lord!"

The disheveled man had anticipated this, showing little surprise, and instead glanced toward another large tree not far away.

Beneath the tree, a pink floral illusion flickered continuously! When the giant's voice rang out, all the light vanished, revealing a stunningly beautiful woman in white robes standing where the light had been.

The white-clad woman originally had her beautiful eyes slightly closed, but as the disheveled man looked over, she seemed to sense something and opened her eyes, her star-like gaze meeting his directly.

In that instant, the disheveled man's mind wavered; he felt the woman's gaze contained an indescribable icy purity and warmth, his chest heated, and even arose the thought of willingly dying for her.
