Chapter 734: Playing Along

After a scream, the snake monster's Nascent Soul in the golden light transformed into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated. Net

Speaking of this Attached Spirit Art, it was also an extremely vicious ancient secret art in the demonic path, naturally countered to death by the Evil-Warding Divine Lightning. It didn't even have a chance to use the Instant Movement Art before it vanished without a trace.

The bald-browed man in the distance had his mouth wide open, unable to close it for a long time.

The old man surnamed Ma's expression was still calm, but the look of shock in his eyes went without saying.

Seeing the two of them so shocked, Han Li had long expected it and didn't reveal any strange expression. Instead, he reached out and sucked the fallen storage pouch and the blue flying fork into his hand. After a brief scan with his spiritual sense, he suddenly threw both items to the big man.

"Although we killed the person, their magic treasures and the items in the storage pouch should be handed over to the Spirit Beast Sect intact. This way, the Spirit Beast Sect won't have much to say." Han Li looked at the two and said slowly.

"Fellow Daoist Han's words make great sense. Let it be as you say!" Perhaps Han Li's performance of instantly killing the attached spirit snake monster had left the bald-browed man unable to recover from his shock, and he agreed immediately without the slightest objection.

The old man moved his lips a few times but didn't say anything in opposition. He then embarrassedly retracted his ruler magic treasure.

Han Li's first killing of the black-robed person could be attributed to the opponent's carelessness and a bit of luck. But this time, killing an attached spirit monster with cultivation comparable to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with his bare hands and a single hand had too great an impact on the two.

The two almost simultaneously guessed that this newly promoted elder of the Falling Cloud Sect might actually possess Daoist arts and divine abilities no less than those of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Once this thought emerged, it was no wonder the two were so uncomposed.

"Since the matter is resolved, I will go back to rest for a while. When the spellcasters come again, you can just call me." Han Li said calmly, his expression as usual.

"Fellow Daoist Han, please go ahead. Brother Ma and I will naturally keep watch here." The bald-browed man's words carried a trace of awe.

Han Li smiled upon hearing this, bowed, and turned to walk out of the hall.

Using the Azure Blue Ice Flames and Evil-Warding Divine Lightning to destroy the attached spirit snake monster just now was a last resort for Han Li. He knew that if he didn't take the initiative, it would be difficult for the bald-browed man and the old man to stop the monster once it had broken free. After all, the monster's cultivation was too high after the attachment; if it escaped, the future trouble would be endless.

Moreover, after condensing his Nascent Soul, there was really no need for him to continue hiding all his divine abilities.

The situation here was completely different from his time in the Chaotic Star Sea.

At that time, his cultivation was low, and he was in a strange place. Naturally, he had to hide his strength to prevent attracting fatal disaster by being too conspicuous.

But now that his Nascent Soul was formed, he had already joined the ranks of high-tier cultivators in this realm. Aside from a few people, others could not pose a great threat to him. This concern naturally diminished greatly.

Moreover, judging by the current situation of the spellcaster army's invasion, it was impossible for him to continue hiding his divine abilities.

At the very least, after the last treasure-hunting trip to the Mu Lan grasslands, the Ghost Spirit Sect and Nan Long Hou should have known that his strength was extraordinary. Since that was the case, it was better to reveal part of his strength in advance. This could also deter some petty people.

Otherwise, if he were truly considered to have low divine abilities and be soft and easy to bully by other cultivators at the same stage, it would instead lead to some unnecessary trouble.

Of course, Han Li would still not easily reveal his few trump cards for saving his life in front of others.

Han Li pondered while sensing the strange feeling of his Nascent Soul being wrapped in the "Purple Luo Extreme Fire."

Just now, because he was facing the attached spirit monster, he had used all the Azure Blue Ice Flames in this fire to barely freeze the demon instantly. Now that this fire had returned and transformed back into the Purple Luo Extreme Fire, it was somewhat unstable. It seemed that the use of such powerful demonic flames was indeed related to a certain cultivation realm.

A trace of self-mockery appeared on his face. Han Li walked slowly toward the small building.

"Brother Lu, Brother Ma and I were truly blind. This Fellow Daoist Han's divine abilities are unfathomable, and his strength is far beyond ours." The old man surnamed Ma said with a bitter smile after Han Li had walked out of the hall and his figure had gradually moved away.

"Indeed. Although his cultivation is only at the early Nascent Soul stage, just relying on those golden electric arcs and the unknown blue flames, even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would probably have to retreat three feet if they encountered him." A trace of envy flashed across the bald-browed man's face.

"But this is also a good thing for us. With such a powerful fellow daoist, those spellcasters coming to attack might not be something to fear." The old man surnamed Ma said with a smile.

"That makes sense. However, although I have never heard of that kind of blue ice flame, I seem to have heard of those golden electric arcs, but I can't recall them for a moment. Brother Ma, do you have any impression?" The bald-browed man nodded slightly, then frowned and asked.

"No, this is the first time I have seen golden electric arcs. What kind of cultivation art is this, to be so sharp? Even a Nascent Soul, which is almost intangible, couldn't escape when trapped within it." The old man surnamed Ma muttered, a trace of chill faintly appearing in his heart as he recalled the scene just now.

"Forget it. Regardless of what kind of great divine ability Fellow Daoist Han practices, it is a good thing for us. Let's discuss tomorrow's matters!" The bald-browed man frowned, seemingly unwilling to mention this again, and lightly brushed the topic aside.

"Tomorrow's matters? What do you mean by that, Brother Lu?" The old man was startled and asked strangely.

"Since the Mu Lan people let the spy destroy the formation, we might as well play along." The big man's eyes flashed with cold light, and he said sinisterly.

"Brother Lu means..." The old man surnamed Ma immediately understood.

"It's very simple, we..."

The voices of the old man and the big man in the hall suddenly lowered by thirty percent, vaguely saying something.

After a while, the sound of the bald-browed man's wild laughter rang out in the hall, seemingly quite proud of his plan.

At noon the next day, just as the scorching sun was in the sky and the heat was unbearable, the sound of war drums rang out, and a pitch-black spellcaster army approached from far to near.

Only this time, a behemoth had appeared in the middle of their ranks.

This was a brown giant beast, over thirty zhang tall and over twenty zhang long.

At first glance, it looked like a giant rhinoceros magnified dozens of times. At the tip of the giant beast's nose, a blue, shining giant horn, a full zhang long, was particularly eye-catching. This incomparably huge body was covered in a layer of pitch-black, shiny battle armor. Various talismans and incantations faintly appeared and flickered on it, and one could tell at a glance that it was worth a fortune.

Don't look at this giant beast as being so huge; it was proficient in flight techniques. Wherever its four feet stepped, blue strange clouds would support it, making its figure extremely agile, without the slightest sign of clumsiness.

Sitting cross-legged on the giant beast was a young woman in her twenties.

This woman's feet and arms were bare, and her face was delicate. But a murderous aura faintly appeared between her beautiful eyes, and cold light flashed from time to time as her bright eyes flowed. She wore dark green, short clothes.

And the tall, thin spellcaster and Ku Yao, who had appeared yesterday, followed closely on both sides of the giant beast, appearing extremely respectful to this woman.

"Eh!" Before approaching the sky above Huanglong Mountain, the green-clad woman on the giant beast let out a surprised sound.

"What is it? Does Master Le have any discoveries?" Ku Yao couldn't help but ask upon hearing this.

"Hmm! It is a bit strange." The young woman's beautiful eyes flickered with a strange look, and she said slowly.

"Could it be that something has changed? That person didn't succeed." The tall, thin spellcaster was stunned, feeling a bit worried.

"That's not necessarily true. You two can see for yourselves." The woman said indifferently, then closed her eyes and said nothing more.

The tall, thin spellcaster and Ku Yao exchanged a look, and both released their spiritual sense to probe forward slowly.

A moment later, the two revealed expressions of astonishment.

Ku Yao even said in shock:

"What's going on? Those mists have already dispersed. It wasn't what we agreed upon with that person. We were supposed to wait until we arrived and attacked halfway before suddenly withdrawing the restriction to destroy all these cultivators. Now that these restrictions are wide open, could something else have happened?"

"I don't know. Let's wait until we get closer and take a careful look." The tall, thin spellcaster said hesitantly.

Hearing their words, the woman on the giant beast remained expressionless and said nothing.

Thus, the spellcaster army continued to advance. Only, under the tall, thin spellcaster's reprimand, all the spellcasters immediately raised their caution by twelve points.

The remaining short distance didn't see anything unusual happen.

The spellcasters successfully arrived at the high altitude where they had stayed yesterday. Only this time, seeing the situation below, all the spellcasters couldn't help but stir.

The boundless green mist sea that should have been there had vanished completely, revealing the clearly visible Huanglong Mountain peaks and the patch of pavilions and towers at the top of the mountain.

Only, these originally exquisite buildings were all charred black, and several places had green smoke rising, as if they had been wrapped in a fire, looking extremely desolate. The entire mountaintop was silent, as if it were empty.

The spellcaster army split to the left and right, and the green-clad woman drove the giant beast slowly forward. Other spellcasters all looked toward the beautiful figure on the giant beast with expressions of respect, and the commotion subsided immediately. Ku Yao and the other followed closely behind the woman.

The woman looked at the situation before her, her bright eyes flowing, and after a moment of silence, she flicked her shoulder-length hair and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"No. Although the thick mist has been withdrawn, there are still restrictions inside that can isolate our spiritual sense, making it impossible to carefully investigate the situation inside." The tall, thin spellcaster said with a look of surprise.

"Indeed, the situation we see now might just be an illusion. Otherwise, if that person had really succeeded, why wouldn't they have contacted us by now?" Ku Yao also said suspiciously.

"Then, according to the two masters, should we just stand here and do nothing?" The woman's voice was cold.

"Of course not, it's just that we need to be extra careful. It could also be that the person only succeeded halfway, was discovered, and fled the place after being pursued. And the other cultivators simply abandoned this place and retreated." The tall, thin spellcaster guessed.
