Chapter 744: Return
After the battle at Mount Huanglong that day, with the three great Divine Masters of the Dharma cultivators taking the lead, the Dharma cultivator army only spent half a month unexpectedly advancing to the foot of Tiantian City.
The caught-off-guard Nine Nations Alliance, shocked and angry, had no choice but to face the enemy independently.
Fortunately, the Great Elder of the Alliance, Wei Wei Wuya, one of the three great cultivators of Tiannan, had just received the news and rushed to the city. Relying on the restriction array of Tiantian City, they managed to hold on for more than a month under the frantic attack of the Dharma cultivator army.
But the three great Divine Masters eventually gathered, and with the help of some black-robed cultivators, they dispatched seven or eight giant beasts of huge size in one breath.
As a result, it didn't take long for the great array to be broken, and Tiantian City fell into the hands of the Dharma cultivators.
But fortunately, most of the main force of the Nine Nations Alliance was not damaged. In a hurry, they evacuated all cultivators to the Northern Liang Kingdom adjacent to the Yu Kingdom in advance.
And at this time, the support cultivators from the Righteous and Demonic paths and the Heavenly Dao Alliance also arrived.
The four major forces of Tiannan joined hands, and after several small-scale battles, they temporarily blocked the edge of the Mulan people.
But both sides knew very well that the true life-and-death battle had not yet begun.
And after the Mulan people occupied Tiantian City, they immediately used it as the first stronghold of the Dharma cultivators in Tiannan, and a large number of Dharma cultivator coalition forces from various tribes in the Mulan Grassland were continuously sent over.
Except for the largest tribe of the Mulan people, the "Golden Sun Tribe," which was monitoring the movements of the Tulu people and could not be distracted, the elites of the other tribes were all dispatched, pinning their hopes on occupying Tiannan in one battle.
The Mulan people were just waiting for all the coalition forces to arrive before launching a life-and-death battle.
The Tiannan side, occupying the advantage of the local terrain, naturally would not show weakness.
In addition to the full mobilization of the four major forces, some sects outside the four major forces also sent people to participate in the war. Even some loose cultivators, knowing that this battle was no small matter and even involved the fundamental problem of the Yan clan in Tiannan, did not need to be mobilized and took the initiative to rush to help.
The four major forces saw that the hearts of the people could be used, and immediately displayed great abilities at the border of the Northern Liang Kingdom near the Yu Kingdom, building a large stone city overnight as a temporary stronghold to resist the Dharma cultivators.
They also needed to reorganize the personnel of various sects and loose cultivators before they could launch a battle in one go and drive the Mulan people out of Tiannan.
The war between cultivators and Dharma cultivators temporarily stopped, just like before a storm. For a time, both sides appeared exceptionally calm.
During this period, Han Li's reputation rose greatly following the spread of some matters.
He didn't know that among the Nascent Soul cultivators who survived from the sea of mist at Mount Huanglong that day, besides him, there was also the old man surnamed Ma.
It was just that this Elder of the Haoran Sect, facing the woman surnamed Le's Wind Evasion Technique, could only abandon his body, and only his Nascent Soul escaped back to the Nine Nations Alliance.
Besides the old man, Ying Ning of the Core Formation stage and the Brother Murong brothers also escaped in advance because they saw the situation was bad. They returned safely.
As a result, the matter of Han Li instantly killing the black-robed Nascent Soul cultivator became known to others.
Reputation gradually rising!
As for his seizing the spy of the Spirit Beast Sect and killing the black-robed man with Lu and others, only the high-stage cultivators of several major forces knew about it. This was not spread to the outside.
But what truly made Han Li famous, besides this matter, was the news from the Mulan people that Han Li had escaped from the hands of the Mulan Divine Master.
When the Confucian scholar surnamed Zhong returned to the Dharma cultivator army that day, he hadn't successfully killed Han Li, which actually caused a stir among the Dharma cultivators.
In order not to be too embarrassed, the scholar naturally gave Han Li a very high evaluation.
He said that Han Li's abilities were even slightly superior to an ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
With such an evaluation from a Divine Master, naturally no one doubted the truth of this statement.
Coupled with the various abilities Han Li displayed when fighting the woman surnamed Le, and the fact that he had destroyed the body of the Dharma cultivator surnamed Mu of the Heavenly Wind Tribe when he was in the Mulan Grassland, his name was even three points louder among the Dharma cultivator army than among the cultivators.
As a result, after the Tiannan side learned of this, there was another sensation, and Han Li's reputation rose by another three points.
Of course, besides Han Li, some other Nascent Soul cultivators whose names were not prominent also became famous in the battles with the Dharma cultivator army.
After all, only in the battle could one see the true size of a cultivator's abilities.
And it was under such circumstances that Han Li, who had been in seclusion for more than half a year in a mountain gully in the Yu Kingdom, had his vitality fully restored and finally walked out of the secret room in the mountain belly.
"Feng Tuo" was a Foundation Establishment stage Dharma cultivator of a small tribe of the Mulan clan. Although he was an Immortal Master respected by everyone in his tribe, once he arrived at Tiantian City, he belonged to an ordinary member who could be dispensed with.
Now he had come out from a stronghold near the border of the Northern Liang Kingdom, leading a small team of Qi Condensation stage Dharma cultivators, patrolling along a route stretching for hundreds of li to prevent sudden attacks by Tiannan cultivators.
He had been patrolling for half a day since leaving the stronghold. Calculating the time, the next batch of Dharma cultivators should be coming over to take over the shift. As long as he flew another few dozen li forward, it would be about time to return.
Feng Tuo pondered in his heart.
Thinking of the dozens of spirit stones issued two days ago, he felt that the bottleneck of his early Foundation Establishment stage seemed to have great hope of being broken through. He couldn't help but want to go back and meditate and cultivate even more, hoping to advance his cultivation by another layer before the great battle. If he could make a contribution in the great battle, he thought the spirit stones rewarded afterward would not be few.
This mid-stage Dharma cultivator of Mulan, while leading the team to fly slowly with his magic tools, was absent-mindedly letting his imagination run wild.
At this moment, they happened to fly to a "chaotic" stone slope that was rarely visited by people. Just as he was about to pass through this area without even looking, green light suddenly flashed in the chaotic stones below, and a figure flashed, and a young man in green robes appeared out of thin air on the ground.
This man, who looked only twenty or so, raised his head and looked coldly at the group of Dharma cultivators, his face expressionless.
"Tiannan cultivator! At least above Core Formation; I can't see the depth of his cultivation at all." Feng Tuo made a judgment after seeing the young man clearly and scanning with his spiritual sense, and couldn't help but gasp.
"Retreat quickly! This person is not someone we can deal with."
Feng Tuo could be considered clever. After hurriedly greeting the five or six low-stage Dharma cultivators behind him, he hurriedly threw a small spirit beast bag on his body into the air.
Instantly, a red light shot out from the bag, and after circling, it was about to shoot toward the stronghold where Feng Tuo came from.
But just at this moment, white light flashed in the air. A beautiful young woman in a white dress appeared abruptly near the red light. She smiled and opened her mouth, spraying out a ball of pink fragrant mist, instantly enveloping the red light inside.
A crisp bird cry came out, and the red light dissipated, and a fiery red little bird fell from the air.
The young woman reached out and beckoned, and the little bird flew obediently into her jade hand.
Seeing this situation, Feng Tuo's heart sank. He couldn't care about the others, hurriedly pinched a spell with both hands, and yellow light shone brightly on his body, intending to cast a life-saving spiritual technique to instantly escape several li away.
But just at this moment, the young man below narrowed his eyes at them and suddenly let out a cold snort from his nose.
It sounded like a very ordinary nasal sound, but when Feng Tuo heard this sound, he only felt a rumbling in both ears. His brain sank, and he fell down with a spin in a world-spinning manner.
The other few Qi Condensation stage Dharma cultivators were even worse. At the moment the young man injected magic power and snorted coldly, their eyes went black and they fell from the air, life or death unknown.
As for Feng Tuo, the young woman in white swayed and arrived beside his falling body, grabbed his neck and collar, and fell downward lightly.
"Master, this person is the leader. He should know more things." After landing, the young woman smiled sweetly and said to the young man.
These two were naturally Han Li and Lady Yin Yue who had discovered that the Yu Kingdom had fallen after coming out of seclusion.
Han Li casually grabbed a low-stage Dharma cultivator and learned the general situation. He immediately took Lady Yin Yue and quietly sneaked to this place near the border.
Originally, he wanted to cross the border directly, but he happened to discover the patrolling Dharma cultivators led by Feng Tuo.
Han Li's heart moved, and he immediately decided to capture another Dharma cultivator to ask about the specific situation at the border before moving forward, so as not to bump into a place guarded by a Divine Master again. That would be really unlucky.
With the cooperation of Lady Yin Yue's soul-bewitching illusion technique, Han Li easily obtained what he wanted using the "Dream-Inducing Technique."
Han Li breathed a sigh of relief.
The border was indeed guarded by the three great Divine Masters in turns, but this section of the border in front of him was far away from the stronghold where the Divine Masters stayed, and only one Mulan Great Master was guarding it.
With Han Li's cultivation, it was completely no problem to sneak past.
Looking at the captive who was still in a coma, Han Li frowned.
In order to obtain information quickly, Han Li naturally used a more domineering method, and this captive's consciousness was destroyed seven or eight out of ten. Even if he woke up, he would be a useless person.
Han Li sighed lightly. With a flick of his finger, a fireball turned this person into ashes.
Then, green spiritual light rose on his body, sweeping Lady Yin Yue inside, and transformed into a green rainbow, breaking through the air and leaving.
On one side of the border of the Northern Liang Kingdom, in the "Tianyi" stone city newly built by Tiannan cultivators. In a corner of the city, in a small hall, Han Li's Senior Brother Lu was chatting with several high-stage cultivators of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. But his expression was somewhat trance-like, and he had been in a state of unease.
Speaking of which, since he had previously participated in the great battle to delay the Dharma cultivator vanguard, he could have returned to the Falling Cloud Sect.
But now the Falling Cloud Sect only had two Nascent Soul cultivators, him and the silver-haired old man. It was impossible for the silver-haired old man, whose vitality had not been restored, to lead the Falling Cloud Sect disciples to participate in this great battle, so he took the initiative to stay behind to take care of the disciples of his sect.
Of course, another reason for not wanting to leave was naturally that Elder Han of the Falling Cloud Sect, who had been famous recently, was still missing. He was anxious about this, not knowing if Han Li had an accident, and couldn't just walk away.
Having said that, Han Li could actually kill other Nascent Soul cultivators and even escape from the hands of the Mulan Divine Master. This still made this Elder Lu somewhat unable to fully believe it.
After all, others didn't know, but he had witnessed with his own eyes that Han Li had just condensed his Nascent Soul for a few years. How could he have such heaven-defying abilities in such a short time? He was even evaluated by the Mulan Divine Master as having abilities superior to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Could it be that their Falling Cloud Sect had really picked up a treasure this time? This Junior Brother Han was actually a cultivation genius who only appeared once in ten thousand years.
Now, although Lu Luo was sitting in the hall, his mind couldn't help but return to this matter. Although his ears were listening to the words of others, he was completely absent-minded.
