Chapter 805: Each Going Their Own Way
"Go!" The big man let out a low roar, and the stone seal spun around, emitting brilliant light as it struck the rosy light in the distance.
The two flying swords also transformed into two red and white heavenly rainbows, slashing toward the rosy light along with the stone seal.
That stone seal magic treasure was indeed extraordinary; before it even struck the rosy light, a sound of wind and thunder could be heard. Afterward, following a heaven-shaking "Boom," the colorful spiritual light intertwined in an instant, and the nearby ground shook slightly.
Seeing the stone seal's great power, the other two showed a trace of relieved smiles. But the smiles immediately froze on the corners of their mouths.
Because amidst the intertwined spiritual light, the seven-colored rosy light suddenly shone brightly, and the spiritual light of the three magic treasures was actually suppressed by the rosy light for a moment. Afterward, a clear ringing sound came from the rosy light, and the three magic treasures were simultaneously repelled.
The three were greatly shocked, hurriedly trying to control their magic treasures again, and looked at each other in dismay.
The power of this barrier seemed to far exceed their expectations.
The big man snorted, just about to say something, when the rosy light all around flickered, taking on a fiery red color.
The three were stunned, and before they understood what had happened, countless fire clouds began to condense and roll above the barrier.
A wave of scorching heat instantly filled every corner of the rosy light.
"What is going on? Didn't they say, didn't they say this barrier had no attack capability?" The scar-faced big man saw this and shouted in extreme shock and anger.
But the other two had no time to answer the big man's shocked question, because the fire clouds in the sky had already pressed down without any courtesy.
This time, the three, including the big man, were trembling with fear, hurriedly activating their magic treasures, rushing to protect their whole bodies, and frantically slapping several spiritual talismans on themselves. Various attribute protective shields flickered and lit up on their bodies.
The red, brilliant clouds instantly submerged the three of them.
A moment later, three miserable screams came from the fire clouds. Then it became deathly silent.
After a while, the fire clouds dissipated on their own, and the rosy light converged and collapsed; the rubble pile was already empty.
Only three magic treasures lay on the ground, their light extremely dim, as if they had lost all their spirituality.
There weren't many cultivators who encountered misfortune upon entering the Fallen Devil Valley, only seven or eight cases. But more than half of them lost their lives because of it.
In the valley, almost as soon as one encountered an accident, one's life was in danger. This even included a Nascent Soul cultivator from a medium-sized sect who, due to a moment of carelessness, lost his life to a spatial rift.
Han Li didn't know the encounters of others, but in this number one dangerous place in Tiannan, he was naturally cautious at every step.
However, at this moment, he was pleasantly surprised.
Above a patch of wasteland, he stood with his hands behind his back, eyes wide open, looking ahead. Blue light flowed incessantly in his pupils, somewhat dazzling.
In the eyes of outsiders, Han Li with blue light in his eyes appeared somewhat eerie. But Han Li had no mind to think about these things.
There was nothing in front of him, and even after scanning with his spiritual sense, everything was normal.
But under the full exertion of the Bright Clarity Spirit Eye, Han Li saw a blurry light arc a few zhang long, flickering with a faint light about a dozen zhang ahead.
Han Li took a deep breath, gradually weakening the blue light in his eyes. His face changed to an uncertain expression.
He could now be completely certain that the Spirit Eye divine ability could indeed discover invisible spatial rifts that could not be detected by spiritual sense.
This surprise made it so that he hadn't wasted so much spirit liquid configuring Bright Clarity Spirit Water to wash his eyes for so long.
As a result, his life was greatly guaranteed in the Fallen Devil Valley. The only trouble was that although the Bright Clarity Spirit Eye could detect this kind of rift, it had to be done with full effort. Otherwise, with a slight moment of negligence, it would still be missed.
The spiritual energy consumption of using the Bright Clarity Spirit Eye was nothing. But if he walked together with Nan Long Hou and the others, discovering the anomaly in his eyes would be troublesome.
He didn't want others to know he possessed this divine ability.
Han Li lowered his head and pondered, but soon had an idea.
He slapped his storage pouch, and a green-shimmering cloak appeared in his hand.
This cloak was no ordinary garment; it was one of the spoils of war Han Li had looted in the past. It could be considered a top-tier spiritual tool.
This item had no other function. It only served to cover one's face and prevent others from peeking at one's true appearance.
Of course, this effect required continuous injection of spiritual energy into the cloak, and the cultivation bases of the person peeking and the person wearing the cloak could not be too far apart.
Han Li estimated that with him wearing this item, except for the Zhong-surnamed Confucian scholar and Wei Wei Wuya, who might still be able to see through it, the other cultivators in the valley had no way to see the anomaly in his eyes.
After putting on the cloak, Han Li glanced faintly at the vaguely visible spatial rift, and his figure turned into a green light, sweeping past it from the side.
In a dense forest filled with towering giant trees, a tall, ordinary-looking woman was flying at low altitude.
This woman's appearance was not outstanding, but her eyes were exceptionally clear and moving, and she looked left and right from time to time, seemingly looking for something.
After a while, the woman finally passed through this dense forest. Then she stopped her flight light at the edge of the forest on the other side, her expression stunned.
"It seems it's not here either. There is no mark left by that Ghost Spirit Sect elder. It should be in another place. However, to let me find the mark first and then wait for him for a period of time, what exactly does this mean? Could it be that he has another goal in the Fallen Devil Valley?" The woman raised her head, looking at the yellow hazy sky, muttering in a low voice, a trace of confusion appearing in her bright eyes.
Suddenly, her eyebrows moved, her figure flickered quickly, and she retreated back into the forest, simultaneously restraining her breath and aura, and after performing several concealment spells on herself, she hid under a giant tree, motionless.
Only three flight lights of different colors flew from afar, their speed not fast, and it could be vaguely seen that there were three old men flying together inside.
In an instant, the three flight lights arrived above the dense forest. One of the silver-haired old men seemed to sense something, and his gaze swept downward, looking at the woman's hiding place. He let out a light "Eh" in his mouth.
"What? Brother Cheng, did you discover something?" A purple-robed old man full of wrinkles beside him suddenly asked.
"No? It's just that a Core Formation female cultivator is hiding in the forest below, seemingly not wanting to be seen." The silver-haired old man said indifferently.
"Oh, this woman is so cautious. Could it be that there is some treasure in the forest?" The old man couldn't help but be moved and said.
"Brother Lin, stop dreaming. There is no sign of any barrier in this forest. The person below is just a Core Formation cultivator, and a female cultivator at that; in this dangerous place, hiding from the three of us old guys is normal. Let's not meddle. Let's hurry up and search for treasures. It would be best to have some harvest in the outer valley. Otherwise, we will only have to break into the inner valley." Another old man with a green aura on his face said slowly.
"Brother Ou is right. We don't need to bother with this female cultivator. In this damn place, even if my flight speed were faster, I wouldn't dare to fly at full speed. Searching such a large outer valley probably won't be a short-term matter. It's better not to waste time." Having his opinion refuted, the purple-robed old man didn't feel any displeasure. Instead, he agreed with a smile.
The silver-haired old man nodded calmly, and the three of them flew past the dense forest without looking back.
Seeing the flight lights go far away, the woman in the dense forest finally walked out carefully.
She looked in the direction they had gone, pondered for a moment, and began to mutter to herself:
"That silver-haired old man seems to be his Senior Martial Brother from the Falling Cloud Sect. I didn't expect him to be here too. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm."
This woman was naturally Zi Ling, who had entered the Fallen Devil Valley after disguising herself.
Han Li had made an appointment with her, asking her to find some clues about the Spirit Candle Fruit in the outer valley first, and then wait for some time before rendezvousing with her to look for the Spirit Candle Fruit.
Zi Ling had agreed very readily at the time, but in her heart, she was naturally somewhat confused about this condition of Han Li's.
However, she also knew that this matter certainly had nothing to do with her, and she had never questioned Han Li about the reason.
Now, not having found the target in this forest, she hesitated for a moment, then activated her flight light and flew in the direction the three old men had come from.
In another dense forest area of the Fallen Devil Valley, six black-robed Ghost Spirit Sect disciples were searching everywhere in the forest. Wang Chan and Yan Ru Yan were also among them.
And above the dense forest, the pale-faced old man was floating in the air, motionless, his face expressionless.
The Ghost Spirit Sect Sect Master, Wang Wang Tiangu, and the other Ghost Spirit Sect disciples were nowhere to be seen. It was unknown where they had gone.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from somewhere in the forest.
Afterward, a sound transmission from a disciple reached the old man's ears, filled with joy.
"Found it, it's here."
The old man's expression shifted, black light flashed on his body, and he transformed into a black rainbow, shooting downward.
The others heard this and also came over.
"Where is it?" The old man arrived above the disciple the next moment. After sweeping his gaze across the surroundings, he asked coldly.
"Elder Zhong, it's here." The disciple pointed to a certain giant tree on the side and said respectfully.
The old man heard this, his gaze followed where he was pointing, and his eyebrows moved.
This giant tree was shaped very strangely; not only did the roots branch out, but two thick branches also extended from the left and right of the trunk. The entire giant tree looked like a giant.
"Well done, it's very likely it. If it really is this tree, after leaving the valley, the sect will reward you heavily." The old man nodded and said with a straight face.
The disciple heard this and hurriedly thanked him with joy.
And the old man landed slowly, circled the giant tree twice, and stopped on one side of the giant tree.
After staring for a moment, he raised his hand and grabbed into the void toward the tree with five fingers.
A wisp of black yin energy slowly flew out from the trunk, then condensed into a ball and shot into the old man's hand.
"It really is here. Call the others over."
Elder Zhong finally showed a trace of a smile on his face and ordered.
And at this time, as time passed, the other cultivators who had entered the valley gradually dispersed.
Except for a very small number of people searching for something with a purpose, most people wandered aimlessly, hoping to have some discoveries.
But what disappointed most people was that, perhaps due to the outer valley's geography, apart from a few lucky ones who picked up some remnants left by previous cultivators who had entered the valley, most people had gained nothing at all during this initial period. It was not as the rumors suggested, where the valley was filled with treasures everywhere.
Some impatient cultivators and those who relied on their high magic power began to slowly lean toward the inner valley.
And for Han Li, the first day in the Fallen Devil Valley was somewhat plain.
Along the way, he didn't intend to waste time searching for treasures at all. He walked wherever it was safe. He stayed far away from places that might contain barriers.
As a result, although his flight speed was very slow, he finally approached the place agreed upon with Nan Long Hou. He also understood his position in the valley.
