Chapter 2162: Volume 10: The War of the Demon Realm, Chapter 2139: Abnormalities in the Passage

Hearing Han Li say this, although Zhu Guo'er was relatively simple, she also heard the apprehension in Han Li's words, stuck out her tongue, and didn't ask anything more.

"I let Baohua leave, actually for another purpose, which is not wanting to keep blocking disasters for her. Although Liu Ji and the Blue Waterfall Ancestor retreated just now, they will likely make a comeback after preparing. However, as long as Baohua, this great enemy, is alive for one day, they might resent me for ruining their good deeds, but they won't be able to spare attention for us. And after Baohua's previous ordeal, she will only be more careful. It will be extremely difficult for Liu Ji and the Blue Waterfall Ancestor to succeed again." Han Li said indifferently.

"Taking advantage of these demons still being entangled, it is naturally a great opportunity for us to return to the Spirit Realm immediately. Senior Han is indeed far-sighted; Guo'er admires you greatly." Zhu Guo'er felt her spirits lift upon hearing this.

The Crab Daoist stood straight in a corner of the flying carriage, his face expressionless, and naturally would not express any opinion.

"Let's go. Although I deduce that Liu Ji and the others will likely track Baohua, we cannot fail to guard against them suddenly having a whim to kill a carbine and target us." Han Li said indifferently again, then suddenly mobilized the magic power in his body, and the green light beneath his feet rolled up.

The flying carriage trembled and carried Han Li and his group, shooting toward the edge of the dense forest.

At the same time, in a place countless tens of thousands of miles away from Han Li and the others, Baohua stood on an inconspicuous mountain top, her expression completely recovered, her demeanor leisurely and calm, showing no signs of being seriously injured.

Behind her stood the Black Crocodile in black battle armor. His aura was somewhat weak, and his face was somewhat unnaturally pale, but he still stood there straight, motionless like a stone pillar.

The two of them stayed on this mountain top for half an hour, without any intention of leaving, actually as if they were waiting for something.

After another half an hour, fluctuations arose in the sky, and a yellow wind rolled over, rolling toward the mountain top.

Seeing this, Baohua's expression finally shifted slightly.

The yellow wind converged suddenly, and a figure shrouded in yellow light appeared strangely above the mountain top.

"Greetings, Senior Baohua; this subordinate received the news and rushed over overnight, but was still a day late, almost causing Senior to be in danger of life; truly, this subordinate deserves death!" As soon as the figure in yellow light appeared, he actually knelt in the air to pay respects to Baohua and said with fear and trepidation.

"This matter cannot be blamed on you; I originally sought you out for another important matter, and I didn't expect to fall into the trap of Liu Ji and Blue Waterfall. This time, I'm afraid I have to go to your residence to temporarily avoid the sharpness of Liu Ji and Blue Waterfall. However, after not seeing you for these years, your cultivation base has also improved quite a bit, only one step away from the Ancestor realm." Baohua swept her gaze over the figure and said indifferently. "If it weren't for Senior taking me in back then, this subordinate would have died without a whole corpse, let alone reaching today's realm. Now, being able to serve Senior again is something this subordinate begs for. That Liu Ji and Blue Waterfall Ancestor are cunning, but they will absolutely not suspect me. After all, on the surface, I am one of the few Demon Venerables who has always shown hostility toward Senior, and I have always maintained a good relationship with the Blue Waterfall Ancestor." The figure in yellow light lowered his head slightly and said respectfully.

"You having such confidence is naturally for the best. It seems I made the right choice in summoning you. Alright, let's go to your cave dwelling immediately. Liu Ji and Blue Waterfall will not truly stop here; they will definitely seek us out again." Baohua smiled slightly, but ordered decisively.

"Yes, Senior! Please rest on this demonic boat of this subordinate first; even if we run into others on the way, this subordinate will handle it." The figure in yellow light replied, then raised one hand, and immediately released a medium-sized flying boat.

This treasure was as white as jade, exceptionally exquisite, and on one side of the boat's body, several eye-catching demonic golden characters were engraved, vaguely displaying the identity of the flying boat's owner.

Baohua glanced at the flying boat, nodded with satisfaction, moved her jade feet, and flew into the boat with the Black Crocodile, entering the cabin to close her eyes and meditate.

Although some time had passed since the great battle, both of them had suffered serious damage to their vitality, so they naturally had to seize every moment to adjust their breath and recuperate.

When the figure in yellow light also stood on the boat with a flash, the flying boat let out a whistle, transformed into a white streak of light, and shot away, disappearing at the end of the horizon after a few flashes.

Half a day later, fluctuations arose again above the small mountain top, and five people flashed out from the void.

Among them were the Blue Waterfall Ancestor and one of the young women who was an incarnation of Liu Ji.

Beside the blue-robed woman were two other women in their thirties. However, one wore a yellow robe and the other a red robe; their styles were similar, and their faces were actually seventy percent similar to the Blue Waterfall Ancestor.

And behind the young woman was a short, dwarf-like man, dressed in a Daoist style, with a beard half a foot long on his chin, carrying a jujube-red wooden sword on his back.

As soon as the five appeared, the Blue Waterfall Ancestor flicked her sleeve, and a flash of white light shot out from within, transforming into a small, snow-white mink.

The small mink circled the mountain top rapidly, sniffed a few times with its nose, then flashed back in front of the blue-robed woman, emitting several strange cries from its mouth.

"Baohua truly lingered here, and besides that Black Crocodile, it seems there was a third person." The Blue Waterfall Ancestor put away the mink and said solemnly.

"A third person? Could it be that the human boy didn't just part ways with Baohua on the surface, but secretly turned back?" The young woman was startled, and her face darkened again.

"That's not it. If it were that boy's aura, the Spirit-Sensing Mink would have identified it long ago. The new person should have used some secret technique to conceal most of their aura, but they underestimated the divine abilities of my Spirit-Sensing Mink; it could still detect the residual trace of aura, which is somewhat familiar—it should be someone I have seen before." The Blue Waterfall Ancestor sneered and replied.

"Someone Senior has seen? In that case, this person is also from our Demon Realm and should be one of Baohua's hidden old party members. If so, it's quite troublesome." The person who spoke was the dwarf Daoist standing behind the young woman.

Although he was short, his appearance of twisting his beard and shaking his head made him look somewhat ridiculous, but no one else showed any mockery, and the blue-robed woman replied quite seriously:

"Fellow Daoist Fu, don't worry. Although Baohua previously re-triggered the Profound Heaven Spirit Domain, this caused her vitality to be even more severely damaged, and she will absolutely be unable to recover her magic power in a short time. As long as she doesn't break through the boundary and leave the Sacred Realm immediately, even if she hides for a while, it's nothing to fear. They must have been hidden by that newly appeared person. Since this person could appear here so quickly, it's definitely not a coincidence; they are likely a high-tier demon residing nearby. We only need to investigate them one by one, and we will eventually find them."

"Sister Lan's words are reasonable. Fellow Daoist Fu is my most capable subordinate, and his divine abilities are almost no less than my incarnation; plus, Sister has also summoned her two major incarnations. Even if there are any accidents, Baohua will find it hard to escape our grasp. This time, no matter what, we must make her disappear from this world completely. Sister Lan, which people do you intend to start investigating from? If necessary, I'm afraid we'll have to kill the wrong ones rather than let one go." A flash of hatred passed through the young woman's eyes as she said.

"Naturally, we must start from those few Demon Venerables who had some connection with Baohua in the first place; their suspicion is the greatest." The blue-robed woman replied without hesitation, clearly having already considered this.

"Sister Lan, please mobilize more manpower to temporarily close the teleportation arrays of several important cities nearby. Without teleportation arrays, even if Baohua wants to take a risk, she won't be able to run far." The young woman rolled her eyes and suggested again.

"This method is feasible; I will order it immediately. The controllers of several nearby cities have some connections with me and should listen to me. Of course, if we add your status as an Ancestor, they will naturally be even more afraid to disobey." The blue-robed woman said indifferently.

"No problem, I will add my voice to yours to the masters of the nearby cities." The young woman agreed immediately.

"Good, let's act without delay. Near Copper Gong Mountain not far from here, there is a Demon Venerable with great suspicion living there. Let's start investigating from him first. I hope Baohua and the others are hidden in his cave dwelling." The blue-robed woman did not want to delay any longer, her tone changed, and she said with a hint of ice-coldness.

Then she flicked her large sleeve, and immediately a blue light swept past, and the few of them disappeared into the void strangely.

Time passed bit by bit, and half a year flashed by.

And on the yellow soil of a continuous range of hills near the wasteland of the Demon Realm, a giant fortress with walls a hundred feet high stood amidst the surrounding hills.

This giant fortress occupied an area of ten miles, as if it were a small town.

On the high walls, one could vaguely see teams of fully armed patrol soldiers, and in the void around the fortress, there were flashes of various colored light, clearly showing how many magic array restrictions had been set up.

And in the higher sky, a large patch of pitch-black demonic clouds hovered motionless, but from time to time, astonishing fluctuations came from within.

"Senior Han, could it be a mistake? Is this truly the cross-boundary passage you mentioned that is not heavily guarded and has few demons stationed there?" Zhu Guo'er looked at a bronze mirror in front of her, looking stunned, while standing behind a small mountain about a hundred miles away from the giant fortress.

Light flickered incessantly on the bronze mirror, reflecting the various scenes near the giant fortress, flowing rapidly. (To be continued)
