Chapter 471: Mantis, Oriole

When Ancestor Ji Yin heard the other party say that what he said was nonsense, black energy first flashed across his face, but the words behind the other party immediately made him suppress the anger in his heart, and he turned to discuss with Man Man Huzi and Qing Yi Qingyi Jushi via sound transmission again.

"We will follow your suggestion and not fight for now. Everything will be discussed after taking the treasure!" Not long after, Ancestor Ji Yin, who had finished discussing, said coldly to Wan Wan Tianming.

"Good! This is absolutely the wise choice of you few; let us go in together." Wan Wan Tianming laughed and said.

Then he stood up and walked toward the huge stone gate, followed closely by Tian Tian Wu Zi and the old farmer-looking man.

"Hmph!" Man Man Huzi saw Wan Wan Tianming and the others acting so grandly and couldn't help but let out a cold snort. Suddenly, his gaze swept over Yuan Yao and the Core Formation stage cultivator Han Li didn't recognize, and fierce light appeared in his eyes.

Almost at the same time, these two also sensed the unkindness on Man Man Huzi's face, and after their faces turned pale, they transformed into a yellow light and a red light respectively, rushing to fly into the stone tower first.

Man Man Huzi saw this and let out a ferocious laugh:

"Where do you two think you're going?"

After saying this, he rubbed his hands together, then raised them at the same time, and two golden lights flashed and shot out, actually hitting the two escape lights first.

As a result, the male cultivator in the yellow light let out a scream, and a figure fell down staggeringly, then was rolled into mid-air by the golden light, and the whole person was instantly slashed into seven or eight pieces, with blood-stained corpses scattered all over the ground.

And the red light on the other side, after being hit by the golden light, erupted into several clusters of dazzling green flames, actually scattering the golden light for a moment.

Then, as if stimulated, the red light instantly transformed into a crimson strange bird, rushing out of the golden light's interception with a speed several times faster than before, disappearing from the spot, and the next moment it appeared inside the stone tower's passage, flashing a few times before disappearing without a trace.

"Eh! A bit strange."

The old man in the Confucian robe and Ji Yin hadn't cared about Man Man Huzi's actions, but seeing that the red light had actually escaped from Man Man Huzi's blow, they couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise. The old man frowned slightly and said softly.

"Man, what is the meaning of this? Why kill innocent people for no reason!" Tian Tian Wu Zi saw this scene and turned to question with an unhappy expression.

"I'm in a bad mood, what opinion do you have about me killing a few outsiders? Or do you want to try my Heaven-Supporting Magic Technique yourself?" Man Man Huzi glanced sideways at the old Daoist and said coldly and ruthlessly.

"You..."

"Forget it, Tian Tian Wu Zi! These two are not people of our righteous path either, so let them die! Better to prioritize the big picture!" Wan Wan Tianming didn't even turn his head and shouted to stop the old Daoist.

Tian Tian Wu Zi heard this and had to glare at Man Man Huzi hatefully, turning away helplessly.

Not long after, the righteous path group crossed the stone gate and walked into the inner hall.

"Man, you killed well! I also don't like having one or two mice running around nearby before doing big things. Two Core Formation stage cultivators actually want to enter the inner hall to fish in troubled waters. Truly tired of living. However, there seems to be one more person here; why didn't Man kill him?" Ancestor Ji Yin watched Wan Wan Tianming and the others' figures gradually move away and suddenly clapped his hands and laughed gloomily, then turned his gaze to Xuan Gu.

Xuan Gu faced this scene with a normal expression, without any movement, as if Ji Yin wasn't looking at him, but at someone else.

"This person has some origins with me; he is a descendant of a senior who did me a favor, so naturally I won't move against him. You two are not allowed to have any ideas about him either?" Man Man Huzi said with an expressionless face.

"Since he is a descendant related to Man, Qing and I naturally won't attack blindly. But Wu is somewhat surprised that Man would also be favored by others." Ji Yin's eyeballs turned slightly, narrowing his eyes to examine Xuan Gu carefully twice, and after confirming he really didn't recognize this person, said a few ambiguous words.

"Hehe! Ji Yin, do you dare to interrogate me?" Man Man Huzi's face turned cold, and he stared at Ancestor Ji Yin and said fiercely.

"How could that be? Wu was just asking out of curiosity! If Man doesn't want to mention this matter, then forget it. But the black-robed woman who escaped just now is probably of no small background. Man should be more careful!" Ancestor Ji Yin rolled his eyes and retreated, but added another sentence with deep meaning at the end.

"My eyes aren't blind. Do you think I didn't see that the woman used the Azure Fire Thunder of the Three Yang Old Demon? Apart from the closest disciples of the Three Yang Old Demon, ordinary disciples of the Azure Yang Sect couldn't possibly possess this item. Otherwise, do you really think that little girl could have escaped my killing blow?" Man Man Huzi said with a gloomy face after a moment of silence.

"Hehe, then Wu was meddling!" Ancestor Ji Yin saw that Man Man Huzi's expression wasn't very good and hurriedly stopped talking about it.

"It doesn't matter; even if that woman is truly someone of the Three Yang Old Demon, with Man's cultivation, naturally he wouldn't fear her. However, now is the critical period for our demonic path to compete with the righteous path and the Star Palace for the Chaotic Star Sea. That old demon has no small divine abilities, and although he is from the demonic path, he acts both righteous and evil, so it's better not to form this enemy for no reason. Let that woman go." The old man in the Confucian robe smoothed things over from the side.

Clearly, Man Man Huzi had great fear of the Three Yang Old Demon mentioned by everyone, and after nodding woodenly, he didn't speak again.

This series of successive changes made Han Li's heart feel extremely complex, with all kinds of miscellaneous thoughts emerging in his brain.

A Core Formation stage cultivator was killed before his eyes as if stepping on an ant, and Yuan Yao actually had a way to escape this disaster?

Xuan Gu didn't know when he had gotten involved with Man Man Huzi, the number one demonic path person in the Void Heaven Palace; no wonder he was so calm.

Yuan Yao seemed to have a certain connection with the Three Yang Old Demon, and this old demon made even someone as domineering as Man Man Huzi somewhat fearful.

Han Li's various thoughts intertwined, but he couldn't sort them out clearly for a moment.

He could only listen to the conversation of Man Man Huzi and the others without changing his expression, hoping for more information to allow him to plan a safe strategy.

Unfortunately, a faint sentence from the old man in the Confucian robe ended their conversation.

"Let's go into the inner hall quickly! Those righteous path fellows are about to be out of our sensing range. We cannot let them sneakily shake us off." Qing Yi Qingyi Jushi looked at the huge passage behind the stone gate, frowned, and said in a deep voice.

As soon as this was said, Man Man Huzi also looked at the direction of the stone gate, pondered for a moment, and walked away without a word.

Ji Yin and the old man looked at each other and followed with calm expressions.

Han Li, Wu Chou, Xuan Gu, and the others naturally followed into the stone gate.

Gradually, Han Li and the others' figures moved away in the bluestone passage, finally disappearing without a trace.

After two or three hours, the teleportation array that had dimmed emitted dazzling white light again, and then two figures appeared there side by side after a blur.

It was the two white-clad elders of the Star Palace!

At this moment, they looked around cautiously, and after seeing that there was truly no one around, they revealed a look of relief.

"It seems they have all gone in. These old monsters, no matter how cunning, would never have guessed that our Star Palace had cracked the teleportation restriction here a thousand years ago. When to enter this place is entirely up to us." One of them whispered with a light laugh.

"Let's go, we must be extremely careful. Unless they truly take out the Void Heaven Cauldron, do not easily attack and reveal this secret." The other said with an icy voice.

"That goes without saying!" The former nodded in agreement.

As this voice fell, the two transformed into two white lights and flew into the stone gate.

Han Li was walking behind Ancestor Ji Yin, and walking side by side with him was actually Wu Chou, which made Han Li feel extremely awkward in his heart.

But I don't know what Ji Yin said to Wu Chou, but now Wu Chou was extremely enthusiastic toward Han Li on the road, constantly chatting with Han Li about some things, fearing that he would neglect Han Li. It was as if the previous jealous expression and gaze of this person were simply performed by another person.

But the more the other party acted this way, the heavier Han Li's heart felt.

"Ji Yin wouldn't have hinted to Wu Chou to kill me after taking the treasure? That's why Wu Chou's attitude changed so much!" Han Li couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although he was extremely worried in his heart, Han Li still responded to Wu Chou with a smile, and the hypocritical smell between the two could be smelled clearly by others even from seven or eight feet away.

But Ji Yin, Man Man Huzi, and the others ignored it and moved forward silently; it seemed that after entering the inner hall, the three Nascent Soul stage old monsters became solemn. They no longer had their previous relaxed and comfortable appearance.

But what made Han Li strange was that since their group entered this tower for such a long time, nothing had happened, and they hadn't encountered any restrictions or dangers.

Could it be that they had to enter those stone gates to violate the restrictions?

Once this thought came to mind, Han Li couldn't help but scan the surroundings again.
