Chapter 2295: Volume 11: The True Immortal Descends to the World, Chapter 2276: Secrets
Without hesitation, Han Li let out a cold snort, and his massive spiritual sense, released outside his body, suddenly condensed and withdrew back into himself.
The hoarse woman and the unfamiliar man saw this opportunity and naturally wouldn't let it go easily, immediately urging their spiritual sense and chasing after him aggressively.
In an instant, three powerful spiritual senses appeared in the high sky where Han Li was, while the other three weaker spiritual senses, although they chased after him frantically, were clearly a step behind.
Seeing this situation, Han Li narrowed his eyes and let out an icy-cold snort!
Although the snort wasn't loud, violent fluctuations occurred in the high sky, and the spiritual senses of the hoarse woman and the unfamiliar man were affected, involuntarily freezing for a moment, separating from their collision with Han Li's spiritual sense.
At this moment, a ferocious look flashed across Han Li's face. He formed a dharma seal with one hand, and the spiritual sense he had released outside his body didn't return to his body immediately; instead, it spun and transformed into a crystalline giant blade over ten zhang long, slashing at the man's spiritual sense in a flash.
A shrill scream erupted from the stone city.
The unfamiliar man, caught off guard, had his entire spiritual sense severed in two by the crystalline giant blade, and about 10% of it vanished into the void.
Han Li's decisive strike of crystallizing his spiritual sense had severely wounded the unfamiliar man.
The hoarse woman finally woke up, let out a sharp shout, and after her spiritual sense shrank, it transformed into a crystallized giant hand, smashing heavily at the giant blade.
But her attack was clearly a bit too late.
The giant blade flashed once and vanished into dots of crystalline light in its original place.
At the same time, the massive spiritual sense returned to Han Li's body like a tide.
"Boom!"
Green and white thunder light appeared behind Han Li, transforming into a pair of crystalline wings wreathed in electric light.
"Go!"
Han Li let out a low shout, formed a dharma seal with one hand, and flapped the wings behind him violently.
His entire body transformed into a green and white light thread and shot out; with just one flash, he was a thousand zhang away, and after another blur, he appeared at the edge of the sky, vanishing without a trace.
A sound of extreme anger came from the stone city, and the giant spider phantom appeared again. A green-clothed beautiful woman with a tall figure stood steadily on the phantom, looking at the place where Han Li had disappeared with an uncertain expression, but she didn't intend to pursue him immediately.
Fluctuations arose nearby, and a black-robed old man with a sinister face appeared beside the beautiful woman. His face was slightly pale, and he also looked toward the distance with a ferocious expression.
"Fairy Luo, should we pursue this person? If we don't pursue him now, we might really let him escape." The old man said with some unwillingness.
"Let's leave it for now! This person's spiritual sense is far stronger than we imagined, and his other divine abilities likely won't be inferior. Without knowing his origin, it's better not to act rashly, in case there are accomplices in ambush." The green-clothed woman shook her head after her expression changed for a moment.
"Fairy Luo's words make sense. But this remnant world was sealed long ago; where did this person pop out from? Could it be that he, like this old man, fell into this world accidentally from a space crack?" The black-robed old man pondered for a moment before his ferocious expression faded slightly.
"That's hard to say. Although this world is sealed, there are still several ways to enter it; it's just that each one requires either a coincidence of fate or a great price. Otherwise, how could our Asura clan have been so stable all these years?" The green-clothed woman said slowly.
"In that case, this person might have broken into here accidentally. It's also possible he entered this Small Asura World intentionally. The former is fine, but if it's the latter, it's truly a bit ominous." The black-robed old man's expression became a few points more solemn.
"Which one it is, we can determine after discussing it in detail later." The green-clothed woman said gloomily.
"That's fine. Let's go ask that girl Bizhu first to see when the other party left that spiritual sense on her; that way, it will be easier to judge." The black-robed old man agreed.
Thus, after the giant spider phantom dissipated, their figures flashed and vanished into the void.
A moment later, in a giant hall in the center of the stone city, the green-clothed woman and the black-robed old man sat down as host and guest.
In the lower area, three middle-aged men and women stood straight.
Two men and one woman. The spiritual pressure they vaguely emitted didn't seem much worse than that of ordinary Great Ascension stage cultivators.
Behind these three were seventeen or eighteen men, women, and children in various attires, all emitting spiritual pressure at the Void Refinement stage.
One of them was the young woman who had led Han Li to this place at the lava lake.
"Clan Mother, what is the origin of the intruder? Are they specifically targeting our clan?" A white-faced man among the three middle-aged men and women asked cautiously after bowing to the woman and the old man.
"Whether they are targeting our clan, it's hard to say for now. Bizhu, you were marked with a spiritual sense by that person; did you have the slightest awareness? When do you think they might have done it, and where?" The green-clothed woman waved her hand expressionlessly, but turned to ask the young woman.
"Reporting to Clan Mother, if it weren't for Lord Yi's intervention, this junior would still be unaware of the spiritual sense mark; I truly don't know when it was planted." The young woman's face changed drastically upon hearing this. She walked out of the crowd, knelt before the green-clothed woman, and explained hurriedly.
"You didn't notice at all? Think about it carefully. Even if you didn't notice anything at the time, if you think about it afterward, you should be able to find some clues." The green-clothed woman snorted and said coldly.
"Yes, this junior will think about it again." The young woman replied in fear, immediately lowering her head to ponder deeply.
The others also stared at her with different expressions.
After an unknown amount of time, her body shook, and she finally raised her head again.
"Well, did you finally remember?" The green-clothed woman narrowed her eyes and asked with a slightly softened expression.
"Yes, Clan Mother. This junior remembers that when I came out of the Scorched Fire Pool of the Empty Fish clan, I felt a tiny bit of abnormality in my body. It's just that this abnormality was extremely minute; if I hadn't thought about it several times, I wouldn't have been able to remember it at all." The young woman replied in fear and trepidation.
"What, Empty Fish clan, Scorched Fire Pool!" The green-clothed woman and the black-robed old man's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this, as if this matter had touched some taboo of theirs.
The others were surprised to see this and looked at each other. After a while, a woman among the three middle-aged men and women with exceptionally delicate features hesitated before walking out to ask:
"Clan Mother, is there something wrong with that person targeting Bizhu at the Empty Fish clan's territory? The Empty Fish clan can only be considered good fresh food for our clan; there's no need to pay too much attention to them."
"Hmph, what do you know. If the Empty Fish clan were just good fresh food, why would I have let them live in such a rare Scorched Fire Pool? If we only talk about the deliciousness and quantity of fresh food, there are several others that far surpass the Empty Fish clan." The green-clothed woman snorted, her face gloomy and uncertain.
Seeing the green-clothed woman's gloomy expression, the delicate woman, although still confused, didn't dare to ask more and retreated silently after a slight bow.
At this moment, the black-robed old man on the side frowned and spoke:
"Fairy Luo, since this matter involves the Empty Fish clan, we'd better calculate it carefully to prevent any accidents from happening with that matter."
"I don't need you to tell me that, I understand. Bizhu, tell us everything that happened at the Scorched Fire Pool that day, word for word." The green-clothed woman said coldly to the young woman.
"Yes! That day when I arrived at the Scorched Fire Pool, it was noon..." The young woman was shocked, then began to recount everything carefully as she recalled it.
The green-clothed woman and the black-robed old man looked at each other after listening, both seeing a trace of solemnity in the other's eyes.
"You all go down first; I have something to discuss with Fellow Daoist Yi alone." The green-clothed woman took a deep breath and ordered the others.
"As you command."
The others didn't dare to disobey and retreated out of the hall with their heads lowered.
In the blink of an eye, only the green-clothed woman and the Yi-surnamed old man remained in the hall.
"Fellow Daoist Yi, what do you think of this matter? Could that person have come here truly plotting that matter? Otherwise, although this Small Asura World has some rare resources, it wouldn't attract such a powerful existence." The green-clothed woman asked solemnly after pondering for a while.
"That shouldn't be the case. That matter was a heaven-sent opportunity that you and I only obtained after years of contemplation. How could anyone else have the same idea? This person should be here unintentionally." The Yi-surnamed old man replied with a relaxed expression after thinking for a moment.
"I think so too. But that doesn't mean this person isn't specifically targeting our Asura clan. After all, our Asura Spider clan can be considered an extremely rare existence to other realms." The green-clothed woman replied cautiously.
"Hmm, that can't be ruled out. But if that person were truly targeting your Asura Spider clan, it would be impossible for them to come alone; they should have had two or three helpers." The black-robed old man sneered after tilting his head to think.
"Fellow Daoist Yi's words remind me. Based on the current information, it's indeed impossible to judge accurately. As long as we send people to investigate and see if the other party has helpers, we should know their intentions." The green-clothed woman nodded, agreeing completely, and immediately flipped her hand, took out a formation-plate-like magic tool, and gave orders without hesitation.
Not long after, the hall door rang, and a gust of wind and a mass of yellow light rolled in, appearing before the green-clothed woman and the Yi-surnamed old man, revealing their true forms. ===== CHAPTER 2296 =====
