Chapter 326: Entering the Array

"Get lost!" the Emperor of Yue roared gloomily.

Then, a mass of blood light circled the group of puppets at high speed, followed by a long howl as he chased after Han Li and the others, leaving behind afterimages. In the blink of an eye, he had vanished without a trace.

A moment later, the motionless puppets suddenly fell from the sky, torn into pieces, with not a single one remaining intact.

Han Li, who had reached the sky above the array he had set up, sensed everything clearly through his split consciousness. Feeling regretful but without the slightest hesitation, he signaled the others and dove straight into the small bamboo forest below.

As Han Li and the others dove downward, the Emperor of Yue, who had been slightly delayed by the puppets, chased after them like a shooting star. Naturally, he saw Han Li dive into the bamboo forest clearly, which left him both surprised and pleasantly delighted.

Upon reaching the bamboo forest, seeing that Han Li and the others had no intention of coming out, he gave a sinister smile. He immediately waved his hands, and a small piece of the blood light on his body was forcibly split off.

With a "Puff," this piece of blood light flashed and shot toward the bamboo forest below. It grew in the wind, becoming incomparably huge in the blink of an eye, shrouding the entire sky above the bamboo forest and reflecting a deep red light below, appearing extremely eerie.

Seeing the blood light silently invade the wild bamboo forest, the Emperor of Yue showed a look of triumph. As long as his protective demonic light firmly trapped this bamboo forest, he could activate another secret technique to dissolve everything inside without a trace. The opponent had walked into a death trap; he couldn't be blamed for being ruthless.

After his hands flickered through a dazzling array of hand seals, just as he was about to activate the secret technique, a layer of green and white light curtain suddenly emerged from the bamboo forest below, easily lifting the slowly descending giant blood light. This left the Emperor of Yue stunned, and his expression turned cold.

"So these people really had other plans when they fled here. They actually set up an array!" the Emperor of Yue thought with some irritation.

"But that doesn't matter. How powerful can an array set up in such a rush be? At worst, I'll just refine the array and the people together! In any case, I absolutely cannot let these people escape the Imperial City." The Emperor of Yue thought viciously.

Once his mind was made up, he unceremoniously performed a hand seal and immediately activated the secret technique.

The blood-colored radiance that had been lifted emitted a dazzling light and sank downward, stopping its upward momentum.

But the Emperor of Yue didn't stop there; he lightly swiped his finger across his body, and another patch of blood light, no smaller than the previous one, was cast downward, merging into the blood light below in the blink of an eye.

The entire blood-colored light curtain turned three shades redder, and even a faint bloody stench leaked out, making one feel like vomiting!

Seeing this, the Emperor of Yue, who was activating the spell, showed a look of satisfaction. His ten fingers flickered repeatedly, and a series of spells of various colors shot out and merged into the light below.

The blood curtain began to churn as the spells entered, suddenly surging in all directions and wrapping the entire bamboo forest within it. The deep red blood light pressed down heavily, but the green and white light inside was still struggling to hold on, appearing as if it could be submerged at any moment.

Seeing this, the Emperor of Yue finally felt completely at ease.

For him at this moment, destroying Han Li and the others was only a matter of time; these people had no wings to fly away. However, how to handle the aftermath was quite tricky.

"It seems I can no longer be the Emperor of Yue. I'll have to change my name and start over!" the Emperor of Yue thought with some regret.

While the Emperor of Yue was considering his escape route in the air, Song Meng and the others in the bamboo forest were extremely terrified.

They had heard Han Li's telepathic message telling them to follow him closely when they retreated to save their lives. Out of trust in Han Li's strength, they had all done so without exception. But they never expected to end up in this strange little bamboo forest, trapped in a desperate situation.

Although this bamboo forest seemed to have a defensive array set up, it was now surrounded by the opponent's blood light, and the array was already on the verge of collapse, in danger of breaking at any moment. How could they not be shocked and furious!

"Junior Brother Han, is this the backup plan you left?" Song Meng asked in disbelief.

"Yes, is there a problem?" Han Li looked up at the situation above, speaking indifferently without turning his head.

Song Meng's face turned deathly pale. Zhong Zhong Weiniang and the senior brother of Chen Chen Qiaoqian, who had lost his cultivation partner, didn't look much better.

Only Chen Chen Qiaoqian, looking at Han Li's calm face, had a thoughtful look flash in her eyes.

"Han Li, if you have other methods, just say it. Don't keep us in the dark! I believe with your methods, it's impossible that you only set up this one backup plan!" Chen Chen Qiaoqian suddenly said calmly.

Hearing this, the other three were stunned, then their spirits lifted as they looked at Han Li. Clearly, they also felt that with the meticulous mind Han Li had shown earlier, it was indeed impossible for him to make such a foolish mistake.

Hearing this, Han Li lowered his head in surprise and gave them a faint smile.

"Rest assured, since I brought you all here, I naturally have a plan." He said with his usual expression, then reached into his storage bag and produced a small blue-purple flag. The flag was covered in dense symbols and incantations, showing that it was by no means an ordinary magic treasure.

"Is this an array flag?" Zhong Zhong Weiniang exclaimed in surprise.

Array disks and array flags were indeed rarely seen in the Yue Kingdom.

"Senior Sister is truly knowledgeable!" Han Li praised the Seventh Senior Sister, tacitly confirming her words.

This left Song Meng and the others greatly surprised, and their confidence rose slightly. It seemed this Junior Brother Han really had other preparations.

Under the gaze of others, Han Li placed the small flag between his hands and rubbed it slightly. The small array flag instantly expanded several times in size, and the flag surface faintly emitted a blue-purple light.

Han Li held the array flag horizontally in his palms, chanted a few incantations in a low voice, and loudly spat out the word "Go!"

Immediately, the blue-purple array flag let out a "Whoosh" and shot off in one direction on its own, vanishing from sight.

Then, Han Li took out three more identical array flags from his storage bag, using the same method, and they shot off in other directions, hiding themselves.

After doing all this, Han Li looked coldly at the sky, and another apricot-yellow array disk appeared in his hand.

This array disk was dull and inconspicuous, but Han Li held it solemnly, raised it above his head, and gave it a light shake.

A thick yellow light beam shot into the sky, striking straight at the green and white light curtain.

Almost at the same time, light beams of four colors—gold, green, red, and blue—flew out from four other directions and shot into the sky.

The green and white light curtain, which had been on the verge of collapse, stabilized immediately upon absorbing these five-colored light beams, and a faint sound of tides came from it.

This sound grew from small to large, from slow to fast, becoming louder and more frequent, until it gradually sounded like endless thunder connecting into one piece above their heads, shaking their souls.

The green and white forest-protecting light curtain changed color as the sound rose, turning into five-colored radiance. No matter how the red light outside shook and collided, this light remained as motionless as a reef in a raging storm.

Seeing this, Song Meng and the others felt their hearts settle; they realized the array Han Li had set up was not simple at all, and it seemed that saving their lives would be no problem.

Seeing the array undergo such a change, the Emperor of Yue, who had activated several demonic arts without being able to do anything to the colorful light below, felt that things were not going well!

His face turned cold, and a look of hesitation flashed across it. After frowning, he suddenly stomped his foot and beckoned with his hand. Immediately, all the blood light below flew back to his body like a river flowing backward, from large to small. Then, without hesitation, he turned into a mass of blood light and fled toward the sky, his speed so fast that even Han Li had to admit he was inferior.

However, this person left quickly but returned even faster. For some reason, after flying a circle in the sky, he returned to his original spot.

A look of disbelief appeared on his face. He fled seven or eight more times, but every time he left the spot by a few dozen feet, he would honestly circle back in the sky and return to the original spot. At this moment, the Emperor of Yue's face was no longer filled with suspicion but with terror.

Seeing this, Han Li below sneered, while Song Meng and the others gaped. Zhong Zhong Weiniang clenched her fists in joy, unaware that her long fingernails had cut a long gash in her skin, with fresh blood streaming out.

And in Chen Chen Qiaoqian's surprised expression, there was an even more complex look.

Han Li had no time to explain the mysteries of the "Inverted Five Elements Array" to these people. Instead, he raised his hand and released the White Phosphorus Shield and Turtle Shell magic treasure to circle around him, saying in a deep voice:

"Everyone, if you have any talisman treasures, take this opportunity to activate them now. We will all strike together in a moment to destroy this person! Since he has fallen into this array, he won't be able to escape for a while!"

Han Li said this with extreme confidence!
