Chapter 2281

Sword light flashed wildly!

As a thousand-foot silver lightning bolt lit up, several sky-piercing wind pillars were sliced into pieces from the middle, splitting into waves of gale-force winds that dispersed.

The fist wind was silent!

Golden light flashed at the center of some wind pillars, revealing giant vortices each about an acre in size, spinning rapidly.

Under the pulling and shaking of these wind pillars, they were forcibly sucked into the golden vortices born within them, dissipating into invisible force.

Under the joint efforts of two Great Ascension stage existences, such astonishing heavenly might was actually forcibly dispersed and retreated.

After leaving this storm sea, the Mo Ling Holy Boat immediately increased its speed and flew directly out of the canyon.

In the subsequent journey, Han Li and his group did not encounter any other major dangers, and finally, half a year later, they flew into the Spirit Domain of the Spirit Race.

Standing on the high part of the giant boat, Han Li and the others could already see from afar a natural city wall composed of a series of low, continuous mountain peaks.

Behind these giant city walls, a giant peak tens of thousands of feet high could be vaguely seen piercing into the clouds.

On the mist-shrouded mountainside, triangular prism-shaped high towers could be seen built upon it, densely packed, seemingly covering the entire giant mountain.

"Ahead is the Spirit Race's famous Lingtian Fortress! Actually, calling it a fortress is more appropriate than calling it a city. Its function is similar to our two races' Tianyuan City, specifically used to block foreign races from invading the Spirit Race's territory. However, unlike us using a super formation to shroud the entire race territory and leaving only one exit like Tianyuan, the surroundings of the Spirit Race territory are mostly dangerous places, not suitable for large armies to travel. As long as a few key points are guarded, the Spirit Race can be safe and worry-free. Therefore, the Spirit Race has not just one such fortress, but a total of seven," Mo Jianli explained to Han Li on the giant boat.

"Even if this fortress is guarded extremely strictly, with our abilities, bypassing it directly should be an easy task, right? Or does Brother Mo feel that entering this Lingtian Fortress openly is better?"

"We did not arrange a meeting with the Spirit King beforehand, and the Leixiao Talisman is truly no small matter. It is not appropriate to make a big scene; we just need to find the Spirit King quietly," Mo Jianli clearly had already considered this, and replied without hesitation upon hearing this.

"Brother Mo's words are reasonable, then we will bypass this fortress and sneak into the Spirit Race territory quietly," Han Li nodded, having no different opinion.

The others followed the lead of the two, naturally not daring to have any objections.

Thus, the giant boat changed direction and flew off to one side.

Almost at the same time, in a prism-shaped building on the giant mountain behind the "giant city wall," a beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties was standing in front of a white wall inscribed with an astonishing number of rune formations. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

In her monitoring, a strange fluctuation had just flashed across a rune formation on the white wall. Although it was extremely weak, it represented that an object containing some kind of astonishing spiritual pressure had indeed appeared in the area in front of the fortress. Otherwise, it would not have been displayed on this 'Bu Luo Map'.

Thinking of this, the beautiful woman immediately gave an order to the door.

Immediately, a Spirit Race guard in full battle armor walked in and bowed to the beautiful woman, saying:

"Greetings, Inspector!"

"Go to the Huoli No. 3 area and take a look; there are some abnormal fluctuations there!" the beautiful woman ordered without hesitation.

"Understood!" The Spirit Race armored soldier immediately replied respectfully, then lowered his head and backed out of the room.

After a moment, a team of a hundred Spirit Race guards left the Lingtian Fortress and headed straight to the area where the Mo Ling Holy Boat had previously been to investigate.

By this time, the Mo Ling Holy Boat had already taken Han Li and his group a million miles away, and these guards naturally returned empty-handed.

After the beautiful woman finally heard the result, her eyebrows furrowed tightly again.

For some reason, although the fluctuation discovered this time was not very conspicuous, and it was highly likely just a false alarm, she felt a faint sense of unease in her heart, and her state of mind could not calm down.

Perhaps she really should take a good rest.

After careful consideration, the beautiful woman attributed this matter to the fatigue of her long-term monitoring work, and with a bit of self-mockery, she finally put it behind her.

On the other side, Han Li and the others were quietly flying over a pitch-black water area.

For some reason, Han Li had actually put away the Mo Ling Holy Boat, only driving his protective spiritual light to the maximum, turning it into a light screen about an acre in size, shrouding Yin Yue and the others within it.

And Mo Jianli alone was also flying while supporting a smaller light screen.

Outside the light screen, wisps of pale yellow mist lingered, and strange sounds were emitted directly from the black water surface, acting upon the light screen.

Amidst the strange sounds, the two light screens twisted and deformed from time to time, or shook violently, as if they were constantly resisting the continuous influence of some huge force field.

Suddenly, a sharp cry sounded from below, and as the black water surface parted, a black shadow shot into the sky at an incredible speed, heading straight for the light screen Han Li was supporting.

Han Li's eyebrows moved slightly, and he expressionlessly raised a finger and flicked it downward.

With a loud "bang."

The black shadow seemed to have been hit hard by a giant hammer, its body paused, and it shot back at a speed three times faster than before.

It was a small beast that looked like a turtle but wasn't, and like a toad but wasn't.

It had sharp armor on its back, a thick and short neck, and was black and yellow all over.

Han Li's seemingly casual flick contained a terrifyingly huge force; even if a top-tier treasure were hit head-on, it would likely burst and shatter on the spot.

The small beast fell heavily onto the black water, immediately stood firm again with a roll, seemingly not having suffered much damage, but after a cry of pain, it jumped directly into the water and disappeared, not daring to have any more designs on the light screen in the air.

In this black water, the number of such small beasts was not small. Almost every once in a while, one or two would jump out to attack the light screen in the high altitude, but they were all forcibly knocked down by Han Li and Mo Jianli using their respective divine abilities.

However, the speed of Han Li's group was not slow. Three or four hours later, they finally flew out of this black water area, and continuous lush green mountains appeared ahead.

"Finally, we have truly sneaked into the Spirit Domain. The natural strange poison of that black water lake just now was secondary; some strange treasures have ways to isolate it directly. But those Xuanchu beasts are really too troublesome! Their attack power is not high, but they are thick-skinned and have amazing endurance. Once entangled, even Great Ascension stage existences would find it difficult to shake them off easily," Yin Yue said with a smile on her face after a long sigh of relief.

"If Brother Han's holy boat could still be used on the black water, there would be even less need to worry about the harassment of these Xuanchu beasts. It's just a pity that this boat happens to be restricted by the black water prohibition. If used reluctantly, it would become extremely slow, not as fast as flying with the physical body," Mo Jianli replied with a light laugh.

"Not just my Mo Ling Holy Boat, I'm afraid most of the flying treasures in the world would have their speed greatly reduced on this black water. Coupled with the harassment of the Xuanchu beasts, it is worthy of the name of a dangerous place. No wonder the Spirit Race did not set up any monitoring points in this direction."

"But doing so has made us much more relaxed, sneaking into the Spirit Domain in such a short time without anyone knowing. It's a pity for those Xuanchu beasts; they have such strong strength but are of no value at all. If they were other similar same-tier strange beasts, we would have already gained a lot," Mo Jianli stroked his beard and laughed.

"The Xuanchu beast itself has no demon core, and its skin and flesh cannot be used to refine tools or medicine, so it cannot attract the attention of interested people. I believe that if it weren't for this, such rare strange beasts would have long since been wiped out, and we wouldn't have been able to encounter them. Alright, since we have arrived here, this trip can be considered a small success. Next, we just need to go to the central area of the Spirit Race and find the Spirit King. The following journey, of course, must still be based on secrecy. In unavoidable situations, it is better not to expose our identities easily," Han Li said confidently.

Old Ancestor Hua Shi and the others naturally responded respectfully, and Mo Jianli also nodded to show his agreement.

So, for the next period of time, Han Li released the Mo Ling Holy Boat again, but first used one hand to cast a spell on it, actually shrinking the size of this treasure by dozens of times, turning it into a dozen feet long, and at the same time, its appearance changed greatly, looking very similar to an ordinary flying boat.

Then Han Li flicked his sleeve again, and several magic crystal puppets around the Void Refinement stage appeared in front of him. After a flow of crystal light on their bodies, their aura also became extremely similar to that of the Spirit Race people.

"As long as we don't encounter too much trouble on the road, everything will be handled by these few puppets of mine. We just need to stay in the holy boat and recuperate!" Han Li said to the others with a faint smile.

"Great! This method is really good. Those Spirit Race people were originally formed from the spirits of objects. Brother Han's puppets transforming into people of this race has no flaws," Mo Jianli saw this, clapped his hands and laughed, then moved his body and floated into the holy boat first.

The remaining Yin Yue, Zhu Guo'er, and others were overjoyed and followed him onto it.

Finally, Han Li, whose body blurred, also turned into a phantom and merged into the flying boat.

After a moment, the black flying boat's body trembled, and it broke through the air with a roar.

Almost at the same time, in a certain place in the center of the Spirit Race, two foreign Great Ascension existences with slightly dark skin and similar faces were whispering mysteriously in a pavilion isolated by prohibitions.

From some of the conversations they occasionally revealed, there were shocking words such as "Spirit King" and "Leixiao Talisman".

At the same time, inside a mysterious forbidden area where the Spirit Race was heavily guarded, a high tower as white as jade stood tall.

On an offering table at the top floor of this tower, five crystal jade plaques a foot long were floating quietly in the void, with golden electric wires swirling on their surfaces, emitting low, deep rumbling sounds from time to time.
