Chapter 691

Although they did not leave behind the opponent's Nascent Soul this time, the old man's physical body was destroyed; he won't be thinking about recovering his vitality without several decades of time.

Furthermore, he must perform soul possession after returning, but a suitable physical body is not so easy to find; whether he can find one in time is a matter of pure speculation.

If he is forced to find just any body in his desperation, a drastic drop in his cultivation base is a certainty.

On the other hand, having obtained two ancient treasures and the storage bag he left behind out of thin air, this time can be considered a great harvest. Even if no treasures were found in that Master Master Cangkun's cave dwelling, this risky trip to the Mulan Grassland was not in vain.

Thinking of this, he looked at the place where the old man's body had turned into nothingness, where a pale silver storage bag was floating.

Han Li grabbed at the empty air with an unchanging expression, and the storage bag was sucked into his hand; then, without the slightest hesitation, his spiritual sense immersed into it for a rough scan.

As a result, Han Li was greatly disappointed!

Inside, apart from a dozen or so mid-tier spirit stones, the rest were just some ordinary artifact-refining materials and a few bottles of medicinal pills.

Han Li opened the caps of these medicine bottles to take a look, and they were all just ordinary medicinal pills with nothing rare about them. It seems the Mulan Grassland is indeed very lacking in cultivation resources; a dignified Nascent Soul stage Dharma cultivator actually didn't have many good things on him.

As for the jade slips and the like that he most hoped to see, there wasn't a single one in the storage bag. This left Han Li feeling strange, and he let out a soft sigh.

Originally, he had wanted to obtain some spiritual technique formulas to see what the trick was to instantly cast high-power spells. Now it seems that is impossible in the short term!

Putting the storage bag away casually, Han Li raised his head, his gaze beginning to stare hotly at the giant peak in the distance.

Although the original owner of this treasure, the old man surnamed Mu, had already escaped with his Nascent Soul, the black mountain peak still remained unchanged in size, its surface shimmering with spiritual light incessantly.

Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly. He beckoned lightly toward this treasure, and the ownerless ancient treasure shimmered with light, rapidly shrinking, and flew straight toward Han Li.

Sure enough, when it flew into Han Li's hand, it had turned back into a palm-sized miniature mountain.

Han Li held the small mountain in his hand and weighed it curiously; it was not very heavy. He then grabbed the ancient treasure with one hand, turning it over and over to examine it carefully several times. As a result, three pale golden small characters were engraved on the bottom of the black small mountain.

"Thousand-Heavy Peak," Han Li couldn't help but mutter to himself, a look of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

After putting the mountain peak away, Han Li looked at the Wind-Driving Carriage again and put it away as well.

He glanced a few times in the direction where the old man's Nascent Soul had disappeared, and after lowering his head to think for a moment, he changed direction and broke through the air toward one side.

Not long after, Han Li's figure disappeared from the nearby sky, leaving no trace at all.

Three days later, in a place in the Mulan Grassland where several hills connected into one, apart from wild grass a person's height, there wasn't a single human figure. It looked extremely quiet!

But not long after, green light flickered at the edge of the sky, and a green rainbow shot over from far to near.

A moment later, this green rainbow flew to the sky above the hills. After circling once, the green light converged, and Han Li's figure appeared high in the air.

After he glanced down twice, his brows furrowed, and he suddenly flicked his large sleeve, his fingers inside the cuff flicking.

Several streaks of green light shot straight toward a certain hill below like shooting stars chasing the moon.

As a result, when they were twenty or thirty zhang above the surface of the hill, the green light burst open. A faint white light barrier, as if it existed or not, appeared out of thin air below. Inside the light barrier, four people were looking up at him, all of them wearing faint smiles on their faces.

They were none other than Marquis Lord Nanlong, the old man in white, the old woman, and the dark-faced man.

"Haha! It is truly a fortunate event that Fellow Daoist Han could arrive safely!" Marquis Lord Nanlong twisted his long beard and said with a loud laugh. Afterward, he waved one hand, and that light barrier vanished abruptly.

"Oh! Have the other fellow daoists not arrived yet?" Han Li replied with a smile, drifting down slowly without standing on ceremony, landing in front of the four people.

"The other fellow daoists are afraid they didn't have such an easy time escaping. When we fled in different directions, Fellow Daoist Wang and Fellow Daoist You both had Dharma cultivators chasing after them. Shaking off the pursuers is likely not a simple matter." The dark-faced man shook his head and said calmly.

"However, you are even more surprising to this Marquis, Fellow Daoist. If I didn't see wrong, it seems that Mulan person's Wind-Driving Carriage was chasing you, Fellow Daoist. Tsk tsk! To be able to easily escape even with the Wind-Driving Carriage's astonishing speed, it seems I truly didn't pick the wrong person this time." Marquis Lord Nanlong said, appearing very happy.

But Han Li pursed his lips upon hearing this, faintly hearing a trace of the other party's surprise and suspicion toward him from these words.

"It's nothing, Han Mou is not good at anything else, but I do have some confidence in escape techniques." Han Li's expression was calm, but he replied vaguely.

Seeing that Han Li didn't want to talk about the process of his escape, Marquis Lord Nanlong didn't go asking further like someone who didn't know the situation, and instead started chatting about the influence of the Mulan people starting the war this time on the Nine Nations Alliance and even all the forces in Tiannan.

Apart from the old man in white, the old woman and the dark-faced man also chimed in with interest.

"I remember the last great war with the Dharma cultivators lasted for a full ten years or more. I don't know how many years this one will continue. But during this period, the righteous and demonic paths of Tiannan and the Heavenly Dao Alliance to which Brother Han belongs will certainly send people to participate in the war. And with the Luoyun Sect's status in the Heavenly Dao Alliance, they will certainly require a Nascent Soul stage Elder to assist in the battle. Perhaps Fellow Daoist Han will have the opportunity to come to the Mulan Grassland once more!" Marquis Lord Nanlong said first with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"Actually, apart from the three major forces sending people and effort to assist the Nine Nations Alliance, there are also some rogue cultivators who volunteered to come and resist the Dharma cultivators, among whom there are also quite a few experts. The Mulan people are afraid they won't be able to take much advantage." The old woman nodded and said in a low voice.

"But what I find strange is that the other party clearly knows that once our many forces in Tiannan join hands, the Mulan people have no chance at all with their current strength. Otherwise, the last great war would have already been decided in one battle. Yet they still took the initiative to start a great war; that's a bit unwise! Last time, the other party suddenly received reinforcements, which is why they had the confidence to launch an attack. Could it be that they have added some other great tribe this time?" The dark-faced man's brows tightened, and he said in a speculative tone.

"That is not impossible, but..."

Amidst the discussion of the few people, time passed by unknowingly.

Suddenly, Marquis Lord Nanlong, who was speaking, paused and raised his head to look into the distance. The others also subconsciously followed his gaze, feeling slightly solemn.

This is the Mulan Grassland; not only are they, these scattered cultivators, gathering here, but it is also possible that some Dharma cultivators are passing by here.

They saw light shimmering in the sky in the distance, and one streak of black light and two streaks of blood-colored light shot toward here.

After Marquis Lord Nanlong stared for a while, his expression calmed down.

"It's nothing, it's Fellow Daoist Wang and his two juniors." Marquis Lord Nanlong said with a smile.

When the others heard this, their expressions also relaxed.

Sure enough, after a moment, those streaks of light flew closer, and it was indeed Wang Wang Tiangu and the three people including Wang Chan.

This time, Marquis Lord Nanlong did not hesitate to directly tear down the barrier in the air, and Wang Wang Tiangu and the others landed on the hill where Han Li and the others were.

"Eh, Fellow Daoist Han actually arrived earlier than us; this truly exceeds Wang Mou's expectations!" Wang Wang Tiangu said with a look of surprise on his face when he saw Han Li standing among the few people, appearing quite unexpected.

It seems this Ghost Spirit Sect cultivator also saw the situation of the Wind-Driving Carriage chasing Han Li, and perhaps he was even gloating for a while at the time!

"Just luck! It is Fellow Daoist Wang who is able to bring two juniors and still be unscathed that makes me admire you greatly." Han Li's gaze swept over the two people, Wang Chan, beside Wang Wang Tiangu, and he replied unhurriedly, appearing to have a deeper meaning.

"Hehe! The Dharma cultivators chasing the three of us didn't have very fast escape speeds. My two juniors and I joined hands to cast the sect's escape technique and easily shook off the other party! How can that be compared to the Dharma cultivator driving the Wind-Driving Carriage." Wang Wang Tiangu replied dismissively.

Han Li sneered in his heart upon hearing this, and just as he was about to say something else, his expression suddenly changed, and he stopped speaking.

"Eh, Fellow Daoist You has also come. It seems our luck is truly not bad, and we have all arrived here safely. Earlier I was still thinking, if the person breaking the barrier suddenly lacked one or two helpers, would we still be able to break the barrier!" Marquis Lord Nanlong raised his head to look at the sky again, saying with a face full of joy.

When the crowd heard this, they couldn't help but show happy faces.

If they were truly unable to obtain the treasure because they lacked one person, these people would naturally be extremely depressed as well.

"No! It seems Fellow Daoist You is being chased by someone, and he looks a bit disheveled." The old man in white, who had been silent and standing alone to one side, suddenly said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Han Li and the others were all greatly shocked and hurried to look.

They saw that in the sky in the distance, there was indeed a white rainbow rushing over in front, while behind it, one green and one red streak of light were chasing closely.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the small hill where Marquis Lord Nanlong and the others were.

Marquis Lord Nanlong's expression sank abruptly.
