"Since you are unwilling to say these things, then..."

Xuan Gu Shangren changed the subject, seemingly intending to change the question. But at this moment, a clear ringing sound suddenly came from the old demon's body, the sound crisp and pleasant to the extreme, making Han Li stunned upon hearing it.

Xuan Gu Shangren heard this sound, was stunned at first, and then revealed a look of unbelievable joy.

He didn't pay attention to Han Li, suddenly punching his own chest.

With a "puchi" sound, a small section of clean white rib actually shot out from his body, circled around Xuan Gu Shangren, and fell back into his palm.

That clear ringing sound was actually emitted from this rib.

Han Li blinked his eyes, revealing a few traces of confusion, somewhat unable to figure it out.

But the old demon held this object, and the smile on his face became even thicker.

With a "bang," the old demon used a little force with his five fingers, and the white bone turned into white powder, from which a white light ball and a black insect like a cricket floated out.

This insect circled the light ball, chirping continuously. But as soon as it saw Xuan Gu Shangren, it immediately stopped chirping and flew into his body on its own.

Xuan Gu Shangren saw this, gave a wild laugh, grabbed the light ball into his hand, and then the white light disappeared, revealing a slightly yellowish old brocade cloth.

Han Li, opposite him, felt a shock in his heart when he saw this object.

This brocade cloth looked so familiar; it seemed very similar to the remnant map he had obtained from the Black Fiend Sect Master? Could there be some connection between the two?

Han Li's mind became active, knowing that this might be a clue to uncover the secret of that remnant map, and couldn't help but open his eyes wide, observing every move of the opponent.

But unfortunately, Xuan Gu Shangren took a quick look and then stuffed the brocade cloth into his bosom, then said to Han Li with a calm expression:

"Since you have nothing to do with those two rebellious disciples, I don't have much time to waste with you. I have other important matters to attend to, so let's go our separate ways! Also, a piece of advice: if you stay here any longer, perhaps my rebellious disciples will hear the news and rush over." After saying this, Xuan Gu Shangren didn't care about Han Li's reaction at all, and in a cold laugh, turned into a blood light, flashed past Han Li's side, and then shot out from the entrance, looking extremely hurried.

Han Li was stunned for a moment, then frowned.

But immediately his figure moved, turning into a green light and circling the hall, collecting the magic treasures and storage bags of Jin Qing and the others, and using a few fireballs to turn the corpses into ashes, before also flying out of this place.

He didn't dare to think about the brocade cloth anymore, but was afraid that if he went out late, the opponent would do something at the entrance, which would be a big trouble.

However, the old demon didn't even look at the storage bags of these people; I don't know if he didn't look down on the things of these Core Formation cultivators, or if he was just negligent because of the urgency of the matter. This actually benefited himself.

But for the loss of the Qu Hun incarnation, Han Li felt extremely uncomfortable and angry in his heart!

But fighting the opponent, he didn't have much chance of winning, which made Han Li feel helpless again.

Just as he was thinking this, he flew out from underground to the ground.

The old demon had already vanished without a trace, which made Han Li feel horrified at the miraculousness of his escape technique.

But looking at the silent surroundings, and thinking that so many people had entered underground, but only he had walked out, Han Li felt a sense of loneliness and desolation rise in his heart for no reason.

But this negative emotion was just thrown to the back of his mind in a flash. After all, the path of cultivation was still very long, and it was not the time for him to sigh.

Han Li didn't dare to stay here for long, identified the direction slightly, and immediately fled outside the island. And while flying, he was fumbling for something in his storage bag.

After a while, a brocade cloth also emitting white light appeared in his hand.

Looking at this object, Han Li's heart pounded.

Now he didn't need to look closely to know that this brocade cloth was definitely the same type of thing as the one in Xuan Gu Shangren's hand. Just don't know what secret was hidden in it, that actually made an old demon with such deep scheming behave so uncharacteristically.

Thinking of this, Han Li couldn't help but look closely at the brocade cloth.

Only to see that the originally blurry map had completely disappeared. There was just a golden small light sword pattern on the empty brocade cloth; no matter how Han Li turned the brocade cloth, this light sword would slowly point toward the northwest direction, and at the tip of the sword, a red line shot out, extending straight to the edge of the brocade cloth, emitting faint fluorescent light.

Han Li frowned; although he didn't know the specific function of this object, if he didn't understand the meaning of such a simple picture, then he would be too much of an idiot.

This clearly was to let the person holding this object go to a certain place according to the direction pointed by the small sword; presumably, there must be some opportunity waiting for the map holder at the end of the red line.

Han Li held the map in his hand, falling into deep thought for a moment.

Looking at how hurried Xuan Gu Shangren was, clearly the effect of this map should have a certain time limit. And looking at the joy on his face, there must be quite a few benefits.

If he wanted to find out, he had to set off immediately according to the direction shown on the map. Otherwise, either the effect of this map would expire, or the benefits would be snatched away by others first.

Han Li thought carefully for a while, and after hesitating for a long time, he resolutely adjusted his direction, and the green rainbow tore through the sky, leaving the deserted island in the blink of an eye.

About a quarter of an hour later, a large expanse of gloomy black mist flew over from afar and arrived at this island, circling around the wide-open entrance for a while, the thick mist dissipated, revealing a middle-aged man with pale skin and not a trace of blood.

This person looked at the destroyed formation restrictions and the Spirit-Sealing Pillar pushed to the side, his eyebrows immediately stood up, and he immediately entered the cave.

A moment later, an extremely angry roar came from underground, shaking the nearby ground continuously.

Then, the middle-aged man flew out of the cave wrapped in a ball of black light, shooting straight into the sky.

He looked left and right with an anxious expression, suddenly his figure spun, and dozens of black rays shot out, turning into giant black birds and flying in all directions, quickly searching the area within a hundred miles.

But when all the giant birds flew back again, there was still nothing to be found.

The middle-aged man's expression was extremely ugly!

He looked up at the sky, and for a long time, there was no other action.

Don't know how much time had passed, he suddenly let out a series of cold laughs.

"Old monster, even if you can escape this place, so what? You are no longer the original Xuan Gu Demon Ancestor, and I am no longer a mere Core Formation disciple under your sect. After I finish the matters of the Void Heaven Palace, I will search the entire Chaotic Star Sea and drag you out." After saying this, he didn't hesitate to fly up, turning back into a large ball of black mist.

Then, seemingly to vent the anger in his heart, a black light column as thick as a water bucket sprayed out from the mist, and the ground near the entrance sank, becoming a ruin.

Then, the black mist fled far away like a shooting star chasing the moon.

Han Li naturally didn't know about everything that happened on the island. At this time, he was honestly driving his magic treasure and flying in the sky according to the direction pointed on the map.

Because he was afraid of running into Xuan Gu Shangren, Han Li was extremely vigilant along the way, opening his spiritual sense fully from time to time to prevent being sneak-attacked.

As a result, several days passed, and no accidents occurred, which made Han Li breathe a sigh of relief.

However, on this day, just as Han Li was burying his head in his journey, suddenly fighting sounds came from ahead, and there were faint explosions and dazzling light flashes, clearly cultivators fighting there.

Han Li frowned, relying on his powerful spiritual sense, and looked intently from afar.

It was actually a man and a woman fighting with three brocade-clothed people full of evil Qi.

But looking at their level, it was pitifully low, only at the early Core Formation stage, and the couple seemed to be at a disadvantage.

Han Li touched his nose!

Since he knew these people wouldn't pose any threat, he was too lazy to take a detour, preparing to drive his magic treasure directly past one side.

As for these cultivators in the field, he wouldn't ask at all. It was more important to hurry!

Thinking this way, Han Li increased his speed slightly, turned into a green rainbow, and rushed forward, reaching the front of the few people in the blink of an eye.

The few people fighting were shocked, stopping and retreating at the same time, and each recalled their magic tools.

And when Han Li passed them, the sword light paused slightly, and he swept a casual glance, but couldn't help but let out an "yi" of surprise.

And at the same time, the female cultivator among the couple saw Han Li's face clearly and shouted with great joy:

"Elder Han, I am a direct disciple of Right Envoy Zhuo of the Miaoyin Sect, hoping for Elder Han's assistance. These three are the great enemies of our sect, cultivators of the Poison Dragon Society."
