Chapter 797: Chen Chen Qiaotian

After spending a night in the forest, Han Li put away the Heaven-Extinguishing Demon Corpse the next day and headed straight for the Wanling Mountain.

Yesterday, before finding Zhao Ziling and the others, he had not discovered any disciples of the Heavenly Extreme Sect in the city. Therefore, although he held the token given by the elder of the Heavenly Extreme Sect, he could not use it for the time being, let alone find Nan Long Hou.

It seems that either the cultivators of the Heavenly Extreme Sect had another place to stay, or the people of this sect had not yet arrived here.

Han Li was not in a hurry about this. He planned to go near the Wanling Mountain, find a place to settle down temporarily, and take the opportunity to refine some Core Formation stage puppets.

With the Two-Yi Ring in his hand, even if he didn't look for them, he estimated that Nan Long Hou would take the initiative to find him.

By now, Han Li also vaguely understood that the Northern Extreme Origin Light the other party mentioned was definitely not at the entrance of the outer valley, but mostly appeared in the passage to the inner valley.

Otherwise, even if the Ghost Spirit Sect had great ability, they would not be able to let hundreds of cultivators avoid the Northern Extreme Origin Light and enter the valley at the same time.

Han Li thought about this while transforming into a green rainbow, moving forward unhurriedly.

With Han Li's escape speed, he left the Yehua City in the distance out of sight in the blink of an eye, escaping dozens of miles away.

At his current escape speed, flying to the vicinity of the Wanling Mountain would only take half a day.

I heard that several markets near the Wanling Mountain had opened up in advance. Han Li happened to go to these markets first to purchase some materials for refining puppets.

Han Li had once obtained almost the entire savings of a medium-sized sect in the gambling battle of the border war and by using that ancient lamp of the Mulan people. These rare materials, worth nearly ten million spirit stones, were enough for Han Li to refine a large number of high-tier puppets that would make people fearful.

So what he went to the market to purchase were some ordinary materials commonly used in refining puppets.

As for the ancient Nascent Soul stage puppets he was determined to refine, although he had found two or three missing materials in the Thousand Bamboo Sect in the Extreme West, he had not collected all of them. There was still a material called "Blood Phoenix Wood" that he had not obtained.

This material was a rare top-tier refining material. Although it was not as difficult to obtain as Geng Gold, it was still something that had a price but no market. When he could collect it depended on luck.

Fortunately, Han Li had long ago instructed the disciples of the Falling Cloud Sect to help him pay attention, and if there was any news about this material, they must seize it or simply notify him. Collecting all these materials was only a matter of time. However, before entering the Fallen Devil Valley, it was impossible to make it in time.

Suddenly, Han Li's expression stirred, his escape light paused, and his speed slowed down significantly.

Because not far ahead, spiritual energy was surging and light was flickering; cultivators were fighting fiercely.

Han Li frowned, but didn't care.

Now that dragons and snakes were mixed in this place, and there was no one to preside over the overall situation, it was very normal for enemies to run into each other and have a fight.

With Han Li's cultivation base, he approached within a few hundred zhang in the blink of an eye, but these cultivators were still unaware and continued to fight among themselves.

Four men and one woman, divided into opposing sides.

With a sweep of Han Li's gaze, he saw that they were all Core Formation stage cultivators. And most of them were at the early or mid-Core Formation stage. However, the two sides seemed to have a deep grudge; not only were magic treasures flying all over the sky, but various talismans in their hands were exploding one after another.

However, the side with two men and one woman was actually completely suppressed by the two cultivators on the other side. But this was not because the magic power of the opposite cultivators was more profound, but because the two cultivators, one tall and one short, were actually driving hundreds of giant moths, surrounding the two men and one woman in the middle.

These palm-sized terrifying moths sprayed colorful poisonous powder every time they flapped their wings, sprinkling it overhead. The three people on the opposite side had used more than half of their energy to protect themselves from the wind and rain. Plus the combined attack of the magic treasures of the two male cultivators, the three men and women were exhausted and naturally could not win.

However, looking at it from Han Li's perspective, although the three men and women were at a disadvantage, it was not something that could be decided in a moment.

And apart from those poisonous moths and the silver giant pen and golden book magic treasures sacrificed by a brocade-robed Confucian scholar, which interested Han Li enough for him to take a few more looks, the fighting of the other cultivators naturally did not enter Han Li's eyes.

Although he didn't know which sect these cultivators belonged to, Han Li had no interest in meddling in other people's business. Just as he was about to ignore them and flash past, his gaze turned, and he suddenly discovered a yellow maple leaf mark embroidered on the Confucian scholar's sleeve.

"Yellow Maple Valley?" Han Li was startled. Then his gaze swept over the Confucian scholar's face twice, and his expression stirred.

But with this moment of delay, the two cultivators who had the upper hand in the fight finally discovered Han Li's escape light, which had approached within a hundred zhang.

The two cultivators who were driving the poisonous moths were startled, hurriedly using their spiritual sense to scan, and their faces changed drastically at the same time.

"I don't know which senior has arrived at this place; this junior from the Spirit-Driving Sect greets the senior." The tall and short cultivators hurriedly put away their magic treasures, leaving only the crowd of poisonous moths to continue entangling with the three men and women, while they flew to a distance and bowed to Han Li.

"Spirit-Driving Sect! Are you two demonic sect cultivators?" Hearing this, Han Li flew directly above them and stopped his escape light, revealing his figure.

"You are Elder Han of the Falling Cloud Sect!" The tall cultivator saw Han Li's true appearance clearly and immediately exclaimed in shock.

"You recognize me?" Han Li looked at this person and said indifferently.

"This junior once participated in the border war and has seen Elder Han's great magical powers." The Spirit-Driving Sect cultivator felt very uneasy, but on the surface, he replied even more respectfully.

"It's good that you recognize me. Although I don't want to meddle in the affairs of you juniors, I have some old acquaintances with the Yellow Maple Valley. You two put away those spirit insects, and today's fight ends here." Han Li didn't stand on ceremony, his eyes flashing with essence, and he said directly.

Hearing Han Li's words, the two looked at each other, and couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.

"Why, do the two Daoist friends find it very difficult?" Han Li's face sank, and his tone was somewhat unkind.

"Since it is the senior's order, this junior will naturally obey." The tall cultivator was quite clever. Seeing Han Li's expression, his heart suddenly "thumped," and he called himself a fool. Since this person had meddled in this matter, how could they hesitate? He immediately signaled to the other cultivator, and the two pinched spell techniques in their hands, hurriedly casting one spell after another, while sacrificing two spirit beast pouches into the air.

Immediately, the poisonous moths that were entangled with the three men and women scattered and flew into the spirit beast pouches in the air.

The three men and women naturally had long seen Han Li. It was just that they had been attacked by the poisonous powder of the moths and hadn't heard Han Li's conversation with their opponents clearly. But now that they were inexplicably out of danger, they naturally knew that it must have something to do with Han Li, who had just broken into this place.

These three were overjoyed, and after looking at each other, they hurriedly flew toward Han Li.

But just at this moment, these two Spirit-Driving Sect demonic cultivators, whether out of fear of Han Li or because they didn't want to stay with the three men and women, carefully said to Han Li:

"Does the senior have any other orders for this junior? This junior will definitely do my best."

"Nothing else. You two can leave." Han Li seemed to have guessed the two people's thoughts, waved his hand, and said indifferently.

"Then this junior will take my leave." The two heard this, as if hearing an amnesty, bowed to Han Li in a hurry, and then transformed into two green lights, fleeing into the distance.

And at this moment, the three brocade-robed Confucian scholars had just flown over.

Seeing the scene of the Spirit-Driving Sect cultivators fleeing, the three naturally looked at each other in surprise. Then the leading middle-aged Confucian scholar stepped forward to bow, and said with a respectful expression:

"Thank you, senior, for your help. My brothers and sisters are deeply grateful. May I ask the senior's name?" This Confucian scholar saw that Han Li was so young, and while surprised, he felt that Han Li's face was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"Are you a cultivator of the Yellow Maple Valley?" Han Li didn't answer the other party, but asked with an expressionless face.

"This junior is Chen Chen Qiaotian of the Yellow Maple Valley. These are my sworn brothers and sisters, and they are disciples of the Incision Knife Dock. Does the senior know our Ancestor Ancestor Linghu?" The Confucian scholar said cautiously. He saw that Han Li was not a high-level person of the six sects he knew, but had helped them, so he naturally felt that this Nascent Soul stage senior must have a friendship with Ancestor Ancestor Linghu to help them.

"Chen Chen Qiaotian! Are you from the Chen family?" A strange look appeared on Han Li's face.

"Does the senior also know my family?" The Confucian scholar was stunned and said in surprise.

Han Li fell silent. He just re-examined the Confucian scholar a few times. This made the three people opposite somewhat uneasy.

"The Chen family is one of the three major cultivation families of the Yellow Maple Valley; how could I not know? What is your relationship with Chen Chen Qiaoqian?" Han Li asked slowly after letting out a light breath.

"Is the younger sister the senior's acquaintance?" The Confucian scholar was stunned and said in surprise.

"Do you know Chen Chen Qiaoqian?" Han Li, although he had guessed a few points, still revealed a look of surprise upon hearing the other party say so.

And the Confucian scholar was even more confused, not knowing what relationship this high-level person had with his sister.

"Is Chen Chen Qiaoqian still okay?" Han Li's expression was uncertain for a long time, but he still asked slowly.

"The younger sister is not a Core Formation cultivator. She passed away more than a hundred years ago after contracting a strange illness." Chen Chen Qiaotian replied with a strange expression.

"Passed away!"

Hearing this, Han Li muttered to himself in a voice that could barely be heard. His mind couldn't help but conjure up Chen Chen Qiaoqian's beautiful face, and he recalled the scene where she expressed her heart to him while they were touring the mountains, and he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, somewhat dazed.

"Does the senior know the younger sister?" Chen Chen Qiaotian saw Han Li's expression was so strange, and after a long while, he couldn't help but ask.

"Of course I know her! When I last saw her, I heard that she was about to get married. I just don't know if her wedding went ahead as scheduled after the demonic invasion." Han Li collected his faint sorrow, and said calmly.
