Chapter 474: Accident

However, when Han Li collected the two somewhat deformed copper spears, he faintly felt Ji Yin look at this item twice, but he immediately retracted his gaze, covering it up well.

Although this action was done secretly, Han Li's heart shivered.

He knew these two short spears were probably good things. It was just that Ancestor Ji Yin still needed him to take the treasure, so naturally, he wouldn't forcibly demand them from him now and lose more than he gained!

But in this way, the reason for Ji Yin to attack him afterward probably increased by one more.

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on Han Li's lowered face. But when he raised his head again, his expression was as normal as before.

Just like this, with the three Nascent Soul stage old monsters attacking together, although the puppets and restrictions on this floor were somewhat more powerful, the group passed this floor without any damage.

Then they were teleported to the third floor.

Half a day later, somewhere on the fifth floor of the giant tower, three people were discussing something in low voices. It was the righteous path cultivators led by Wan Wan Tianming.

Not far in front of them was a huge existence, a magnificent, tall stone platform.

This high platform was over a hundred feet wide and about thirty feet high. Directly in front, there were several hundred stone steps leading directly to the top of the platform.

The entire high platform was built from seemingly ordinary gray rocks, and the outside was wrapped within a white light curtain along with the stone steps.

But strangely, blue light was brimming within the light curtain, and the closer it was to the center of the high platform, the brighter the light became, with fluorescent light flowing incessantly, making it impossible for one's eyes to look directly at it, unable to see clearly what was wrong there.

And the edges of the stone platform were covered with thick frost; these cold ices reflected light, appearing incomparably beautiful.

"How is it? Has your magic power replenished enough? If it's okay, let's start acting! Although this time we borrowed the 'Creation Instrument' from the Heaven Mystery Sect to avoid those puppet guards in advance, our time won't be too much. After all, Man Man Huzi's Heaven-Supporting Magic Technique is also incomparably sharp against those puppets. They will at most spend more effort on the fourth floor. Others won't delay for too long." Wan Wan Tianming said in a deep voice in front of the platform.

"What Wan said is correct, let's go take the treasure." The old Daoist Tian Tian Wu Zi opposite was very agreeable, and a trace of excitement appeared in his eyes.

And the black, thin old farmer-looking man just nodded silently without saying anything.

Wan Wan Tianming didn't care upon seeing this. He knew that although the black, thin old man was taciturn, the "Jade Pill Technique" he cultivated had no small divine abilities, and his true strength was even above that of Tian Tian Wu Zi.

It was just that although this person was from the righteous path, he had always practiced hard behind closed doors and rarely communicated or talked with others, which was why he had developed such a cold appearance.

Wan Wan Tianming smiled slightly and led the two toward the light curtain.

A thick purple energy flashed and vanished, and the white light curtain made a crisp "zila" sound, actually being split open by Wan Wan Tianming with a wave of his sleeve, creating a foot-high large opening, and the few people took this opportunity to enter one after another.

Not long after, Wan Wan Tianming and the others disappeared into the blue light on the high platform.

And the place where the light curtain was split open recovered to its original state, and the stone steps became quiet again.

After another unknown amount of time, Wan Wan Tianming and the others had not come out from the light curtain, but Man Man Huzi and Ji Yin's figures appeared under this high platform.

Han Li, Xuan Gu, and the others also followed honestly behind them.

"Finally reached this ghost place. That golden-furred puppet on the fourth floor was truly surprisingly powerful. If it weren't for the three of us using our trump cards together, I'm afraid we would have had to entangle for more time." The old man in the Confucian robe looked at the high platform before him, his eyes somewhat bright as he said.

"Hmph, that puppet is barely okay. It was the restriction encountered on the third floor that was truly somewhat difficult to break, making us spend so much time. Otherwise, we should have arrived even earlier." Ancestor Ji Yin said with a gloomy face, seemingly somewhat depressed.

"Forget it, what's the point of saying these nonsense now? Let's see if Wan Wan Tianming and the others have gone in to take the treasure." Man Man Huzi frowned and said loudly, full of impatience.

Ji Yin revealed a look of displeasure upon hearing this, and stopped talking.

And the old man in the Confucian robe laughed lightly with a normal expression:

"Man, rest assured. According to the secret technique probed by Wu and me, Wan Wan Tianming and the others indeed went in a few hours ago. They haven't come out yet. We can just wait here. Because this stone step is also the only place to enter and exit this Cold Li Platform." The old man stroked his beard and said calmly.

"Only! Is that true? Don't let those righteous path fellows sneak away from other places while we wait here like fools!" Man Man Huzi glanced sideways at the old man, seemingly somewhat disbelieving.

"Hehe! There is absolutely no problem with this! This white light curtain is not an ordinary protective shield. It is the 'Heavenly Gang Shield' restriction that was also incomparably famous in ancient times. Apart from this special exit opened at the stone steps, there is absolutely no way to pass through other places in a short time. Let's rest here for a while, then go in and see the situation." The old man said calmly.

"Hmm! That will do." Man Man Huzi nodded lightly upon hearing this and sat cross-legged on the nearby stone steps.

Ji Yin and the old man in the Confucian robe gathered together and talked in low voices.

Han Li watched all this, sneered in his heart, but didn't show the slightest strange expression on his face.

These demonic path old monsters thought well, but Wan Wan Tianming also looked like someone with deep scheming. They didn't go in now, which perhaps was exactly what the righteous path people wanted.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked around. But he discovered that Xuan Gu was alone under the high platform not far away, looking at the white light curtain, seemingly thinking about something.

Han Li's expression shifted; this was a good opportunity to discuss with him again.

But he thought again, this old demon was now involved with Man Man Huzi, and his value to him had decreased quite a bit. Most likely, this person, like Ancestor Ji Yin, was also eyeing his Blood Jade Spider to take the treasure.

Otherwise, why would he choose the timing to kill Ji Yin after taking the treasure.

Now that he took the initiative to find him, it would only let the other party see his cowardice. His situation would only become worse.

It seemed that the strategy to escape still had to be planned by himself!

Thinking this, Han Li's gaze toward Xuan Gu turned cold. And Xuan Gu actually sensed it and looked back, happening to see Han Li.

Han Li cursed secretly, immediately changed to a calm expression, and walked to the other side as if nothing had happened.

Xuan Gu stared at Han Li's back, a trace of doubt flashing across his face.

At this time, Han Li circled the huge stone platform and walked slowly outside the light curtain.

Ji Yin and the others were confident that he, a Core Formation early-stage cultivator, could never run away alone on this fifth floor, so they let Han Li move freely nearby.

Not long after, Han Li arrived at the back of the high platform alone. Opposite the light curtain was a tall bluestone wall.

Carved on the wall were some strange beast pictures from the ancient era and some runes, with no other abnormalities.

Han Li had seen many such walls in this inner hall and knew that high-level restrictions were set on them.

Wanting to break the wall and escape, even Nascent Soul stage cultivators like Ji Yin couldn't do it.

As such, even though Han Li knew clearly that behind the stone wall was likely outside the inner hall, he was helpless.

Han Li cursed the ancient cultivators who made this inner hall as solid as a turtle shell in his heart, and patted the stone wall fiercely in annoyance, then turned and wanted to go back.

With a muffled "bang," Han Li's back, which had already walked three or four steps, froze.

Turning around slowly, his face was full of disbelief.

If an ordinary cultivator heard the sound just now, perhaps they wouldn't care at all and would have walked away long ago. After all, the sound sounded very normal.

But Han Li came from a Jianghu gang background and had studied many things like mechanisms and secret rooms in his early years.

As soon as that sound entered his ears, he distinguished that the bluestone was not solid.

Han Li couldn't believe it.

In this ancient cultivator's place filled with high-level restrictions, there would actually be something like an interlayer. Han Li truly doubted his judgment.

Of course, Han Li wouldn't just walk away.

He just pondered for a moment, then walked back to the wall with nimble footsteps.

He extended two fingers and tapped on the few bluestone blocks near where he had patted.

As a result, when his finger tapped on the third bluestone block, Han Li's heart stirred, and his gaze landed on this bluestone block.

Here was carved the blood-red strange eye of a winged beast.

Although the beast pattern couldn't be called exquisitely carved, it was lifelike, expressing the violent and bloodthirsty madness of this beast to the fullest.

Han Li only looked at the beast pattern roughly and tapped the bluestone a few more times.

He finally confirmed with joy that this bluestone was indeed a hollow interlayer, and it seemed there was something hidden inside.
