Chapter 330: Order

After carefully putting away the items, Han Li looked up at the radiance in the sky and leaped toward a corner of the bamboo forest.

A moment later, Han Li pulled out a blue array flag stuck at the root of a giant bamboo.

Immediately, the sky-filling radiance restriction vanished without a trace.

Han Li smiled slightly and turned toward other corners.

Before long, all the array flags and array disks were retrieved by Han Li from the bamboo forest and were treasured exceptionally well as he put them into his storage bag.

After witnessing the power of this improved "Inverted Five Elements Array," Han Li treasured it immensely.

When Han Li returned to the original spot unhurriedly, intending to leave this place, he saw something on the ground—it was the Emperor of Yue's corpse, which looked like rotten mud. It seemed that once the radiance dissipated, it had also fallen from the sky.

Han Li frowned, sighed slightly, flicked his finger, and a fireball the size of a fist flew over, turning the Emperor of Yue's corpse into ashes.

This person could be considered a remarkable figure, but after death, he was just a pile of flying ash, which made Han Li sigh with emotion!

Subsequently, Han Li patted his storage bag, and a golden light flew out, blasting a large pit in the open space on the side.

Then, Han Li flicked his sleeve gently, and the pile of corpse ash was blown by a soft wind, all safely sent into the pit.

Suddenly, a white light flashed, and Han Li's intended action of burying it immediately stopped.

He beckoned with one hand in surprise, and a white, misty brocade handkerchief flew out from the pit, landing in his hand.

"This is..." Han Li swept his eyes over it, showing a look of confusion.

This brocade handkerchief was slightly yellow, clearly an object from a very distant era. It was unknown what it was woven from, but it emitted a faint fluorescence. But what made Han Li suspicious was that it was actually embroidered with a blurry map.

Han Li's curiosity was piqued, and he hurriedly examined the map carefully, only to lose interest after flipping it over several times.

Because after looking at it carefully, he was certain that this was absolutely not the terrain of the Yue Kingdom; it should be a strange place. Moreover, the map was clearly incomplete, and it was unknown if it was half of a complete map or a fraction of it!

However, this map had only been discovered from the ashes now. It seemed that the Emperor of Yue had hidden it in his body using some secret technique; otherwise, it should have been discovered by the beast puppets from the beginning.

In this way, this map was not trivial!

Han Li thought thoughtfully and stored this incomplete map in the jade box containing the Five Elements Pills.

Now was not the time to solve mysteries; he had to find the others quickly!

After all, the Emperor of Yue was dead, and this aftermath was truly a headache!

When Han Li found Chen Chen Qiaoqian and the others in front of the Cold Palace, another not-so-good news came.

In the secret room of the Black Fiend Sect Master in the Cold Palace, they had discovered "Wu Xuan's" corpse, which had only died a short while ago after being drained of essence blood by blood sacrifice.

Hearing this, Han Li was stunned for a moment, but immediately smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Now, because of the Black Fiend Sect affair, so many Foundation Establishment stage disciples of his sect had died. After returning, he was afraid Li Li Huayuan wouldn't give him a good look. The matter had ultimately been triggered by him!

After feeling extremely helpless, Han Li simply handed the aftermath to Chen Chen Qiaoqian and Zhong Zhong Weiniang and the others, and found an excuse to return to the Qin Mansion first.

But what he never expected was that as soon as he returned to his residence, an unexpected person appeared before his eyes.

"Greetings, Senior Uncle Han!" the middle-aged man in brocade clothes bowed respectfully.

"Junior Nephew Ma! Coming to find me so late, is there any important matter?" A flash of surprise appeared in Han Li's eyes.

At this moment, Han Li had just returned from the Imperial City, and he didn't expect this sect disciple responsible for liaison in Yuejing to be waiting for him in the courtyard.

And judging by the situation, the wait had not been short.

"Senior Uncle, I have just received news. There is an order from above that all disciples above the Foundation Establishment stage must immediately rush to the Seven Sects' camp at the border. The opponent has already issued a declaration of war, and in two months, the six sects of the demonic path will fight us to the death. Above requires the contraction of all manpower. In addition, arriving at the same time is a letter from Grandmaster Li!" the man in brocade clothes said solemnly.

After speaking, he took out an order and a jade slip and handed them to Han Li.

Han Li was slightly startled but took the two items calmly and examined them carefully.

The order was indeed the same as what the other person had said, requiring all Foundation Establishment stage disciples performing tasks outside to gather at the border camp within one month of receiving the order, and the date of the decisive battle with the demonic path had been set. And the spiritual emblem at the end of the order was indeed genuine.

After verifying the order, Han Li extended his spiritual sense into the jade slip.

As a result, a phantom of Li Li Huayuan appeared inside, and what he said was simple. He just ordered that the Qin Mansion no longer needed protection because news had been received that the demonic path's plan to infiltrate the mortal world of the Yue Kingdom and stir up trouble had been canceled for some reason. Han Li and other disciples could safely return to the border.

Listening to the few words from Li Li Huayuan's phantom, Han Li felt annoyed enough to vomit blood.

He suppressed the depression in his heart before withdrawing his spirit.

"I know about this matter. You leave the order and the jade slip; I will notify the others!" Han Li looked at the items in his hand and said after thinking.

"Then I trouble Senior Uncle!" The middle-aged man hesitated but answered respectfully.

Then, he bid farewell to Han Li.

Han Li said a light "no need to see me off" and watched the person fly away. Then, he let out a breath and slowly pushed the door to enter the room.

The next morning, Han Li, Song Meng, and the others sat in the living room, discussing leaving Yuejing.

"Before participating in the great battle, I want to return to my family first, and then go to the camp! So I won't be traveling with you all." Not long after seeing the order, Chen Chen Qiaoqian said, biting her red lips.

"I want to return Senior Brother Liu's belongings to the Liu family!" Zhong Zhong Weiniang's face was somewhat haggard, her eyes slightly red, as she said.

Although not explicitly stated, the intention to act alone was undoubtedly revealed.

"I have nothing to do, Junior Brother Han, let's go back together." Song Meng was very open-minded, patted Han Li's shoulder beside him, and said heroically.

"No, Fourth Senior Brother! I also have some private matters to handle." Han Li, who had long had other plans, refused with a smile.

"Is that so? Then forget it!" Song Meng showed a very disappointed look.

"Or, I'll accompany Junior Brother Song back!" Chen Chen Qiaoqian's only surviving senior brother suddenly smiled at Song Meng and said.

Song Meng was overjoyed; this way, there would be someone to spar with on the road.

Seeing this, Han Li couldn't help but laugh! He didn't expect that after this bloody battle, this Fourth Senior Brother still hadn't changed at all.

Just like that, everyone agreed to go their separate ways early tomorrow morning.

In the afternoon, Han Li went to tell Qin Yan that they were safe, and amidst his great joy, said he would bid farewell tomorrow morning.

Qin Yan heard this and hurriedly said some words of retention, but Han Li refused with a faint smile. Seeing this, the other party had no choice but to give up!

After coming out of Qin Yan's place, Han Li walked toward his residence.

But unexpectedly, when passing through the small garden that was the only way, Mo Mo Fengwu appeared there with her back to him, wearing a white dress.

As if she were enjoying the flowers, she happened to block his way.

Seeing this situation, Han Li was slightly startled; naturally, he felt embarrassed to pass by without a word.

"Senior Sister Chen, what a coincidence!" Han Li greeted with his usual expression, then wanted to brush past her.

But Chen Chen Qiaoqian suddenly twisted her willow waist, her figure turned lightly, and a face as beautiful as a flower faced Han Li.

"It's not a coincidence! I was waiting specifically for you!" Chen Chen Qiaoqian said with slightly parted lips.

Her pair of autumn eyes stared straight at Han Li, a complex look appearing on her face.

"Waiting for me..." Han Li showed an appropriate look of surprise.

But for some reason, his heart felt both bitter and joyful.

"I heard that the White Chrysanthemum Mountain outside Yuejing is extremely beautiful and is a great wonder nearby. Junior Brother Han, would you accompany me to see it?" After a moment of silence, Chen Chen Qiaoqian actually said something that greatly surprised Han Li.

"Okay!" Whether it was a whim or not! Han Li originally wanted to refuse, but upon encountering the sorrow in her eyes, he changed his words without realizing it.

"Great, Junior Brother Han! Let's go now. By the time the sun sets, we won't be able to see anything." Hearing Han Li's agreement, a blush rose on Chen Chen Qiaoqian's face, and she showed a look of joy, making her look even more incomparably beautiful.
