Chapter 819: The Blood Curse Gate

Seeing Han Li's actions, Marquis Lord Nanlong and the old man didn't stand on ceremony, each carefully putting one medicine bottle into their storage bags.

Then, the gazes of the three naturally fell on the remaining two ancient treasures. Now there were two treasures and three people, which was indeed somewhat difficult to divide.

Just as Marquis Lord Nanlong and the other were hesitating, Han Li blinked his eyes and suddenly laughed lightly.

"How about this. I'm not lacking in any ancient treasures. If the two fellow Daoists have enough spirit stones, you can take these two ancient treasures. Just pay me the equivalent in spirit stones," Han Li said slowly.

"Since Fellow Daoist Han is so modest, we will respectfully obey. The old man has brought plenty of spirit stones," the old man surnamed Lu said, revealing a look of joy upon hearing this. After all, ancient treasures were things that were priceless in the Tiannan cultivation world.

Marquis Lord Nanlong himself was also lacking in ancient treasures, so he naturally agreed with Han Li's suggestion with a face full of smiles.

In this way, both sides could be considered happy.

Seeing Marquis Lord Nanlong and the other put away the remaining two ancient treasures, Han Li beckoned casually and sucked the Green Silkworm Robe that Marquis Lord Nanlong had discarded to his hand. Then he put it away openly.

Marquis Lord Nanlong and the other saw this and were startled, but since Han Li had just let them have the two ancient treasures, they didn't say anything about this small matter.

Although this robe was rare, its actual use wasn't very great, so they let Han Li pick it up.

After the three finished dividing the treasures, they greedily picked the spiritual herbs by the lava lake. Each of them got several stalks.

These spiritual herbs could survive in this place, so they naturally weren't ordinary objects. They were a type of fire-attribute spiritual herb called "Golden Sun Ganoderma," a top-tier material for refining fire-attribute spiritual pills.

After confirming there was nothing else here that could attract their attention, the three gathered in front of the stone platform again to discuss the next steps.

"Since we've obtained the treasures, I don't intend to stay in the inner valley any longer. I plan to return along the original path and go straight back to the outer valley. Why don't the two fellow Daoists come back with me?" Han Li said first, unhurriedly.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you must be joking. Brother Lu and I have finally entered the inner valley, so we naturally won't return like this. But Brother Han, why are you in such a hurry to leave the valley?" Marquis Lord Nanlong asked with a chuckle.

"Nothing. It's just that I've already gained something, so I don't intend to take any more risks. The path of cultivation is still long. I have no interest in staying in such a dangerous place for long," Han Li replied casually.

"Hehe! It seems Fellow Daoist Han knows how to protect himself. It's a pity we two cannot go with you. Fellow Daoist Han can leave the valley alone," the old man surnamed Lu said with a smile.

"Leave alone? But if I take the Two-Yi Ring, how will the two fellow Daoists deal with the North Pole Origin Light in the passage?" Han Li asked slowly with a strange look on his face.

"We have already considered this. Brother Han, rest assured! Master Master Cangkun found a teleportation array in the inner valley long ago, which can teleport directly back to the outer valley. However, it's a bit of a distance to get there, not as fast as returning along the original path. Otherwise, I would have told you directly," Marquis Lord Nanlong said confidently without hesitation.

Han Li was startled, but then nodded calmly:

"So that's how it is. Then I will bid farewell to the two fellow Daoists. I hope the two of you will have great gains." "Many thanks for Fellow Daoist Han's well wishes!"

"Lu will not see you off," Marquis Lord Nanlong and the old man surnamed Lu said with joy in their hearts as they saw Han Li really bid farewell and leave.

Han Li smiled slightly, finally glancing at the crystal-clear bones as if nothing, then transformed into a cyan rainbow and shot toward the exit, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

The old man, who had been smiling, saw Han Li's escape light leave the place, and the smile on his face faded. Marquis Lord Nanlong, however, patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist without expression.

Several golden birds flew out from the pouch.

It was the "Thousand-Mile Orioles" he had tamed.

With a flick of his large sleeve toward the exit, the few Thousand-Mile Orioles transformed into several balls of golden light and shot out, also flying into the passage and vanishing.

Then Marquis Lord Nanlong closed his eyes gently, as if sensing something.

Lu Lu Weiying saw this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he waited quietly to the side without saying a word.

I don't know how long it had been. Marquis Lord Nanlong's eyelids moved slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

"That person has indeed left. At the very least, he is not nearby. The Thousand-Mile Orioles have searched an area of ten miles, and there is no trace of him," Marquis Lord Nanlong said calmly.

"Didn't you say that this person's spiritual sense is very powerful? Could he have used a concealment technique to deceive your search?" The old man surnamed Lu frowned, raising a question.

"Rest assured. If he were really hiding nearby and hadn't left, he would never be able to deceive me. As for the reason, I won't explain it in detail to Brother Lu," Marquis Lord Nanlong touched his chin, revealing a strange look.

Seeing Marquis Lord Nanlong's confident appearance, Lu Lu Weiying was somewhat skeptical. However, after a little thought, he pinched a magic technique with both hands and cast several spells toward the surroundings.

A small, pale white sound-insulation barrier appeared around them, completely covering them.

Marquis Lord Nanlong smiled, but his face revealed a look of disapproval.

"Being careful is never wrong. We have never been able to see through the background of this Fellow Daoist Han. His cultivation base is clearly not high, but the feeling he gives me is unfathomable. He took a last look at the bones; I wonder if he saw the strangeness?" Lu Lu Weiying said after setting up the sound-insulation barrier, but when he said the last sentence, he became suspicious again.

"Brother Lu, you are overthinking it. Although this Han Li has great abilities, how could he know the secret of the bones? It should just be an unintentional act. After all, these bones do look somewhat unusual," Marquis Lord Nanlong shook his head and said.

"Regardless of whether he really saw the abnormality. It is true that he doesn't want to stay with us. Perhaps he feels his abilities are sufficient and can explore for treasures in the inner valley alone!" The old man thought for a while and said thoughtfully.

"Alright! As long as this kid doesn't come to hinder us, I don't care if he really left the valley or not. We just need to increase our vigilance. But it's getting late, let's hurry up."

"According to Master Master Cangkun's legacy, these ancient cultivator bones are the keys to breaking that Blood Curse Gate. Since this gate is sealed with such powerful restrictions, it's clear that the things inside are extraordinary. In the ancient era, Blood Curse Gates were generally used to store important treasures. The fact that these ancient cultivator remains turned transparent is a sign that this curse has been cast. Master Master Cangkun retreated in the face of difficulties back then, which just happened to benefit us," Marquis Lord Nanlong sighed. "Indeed. Compared to the treasures behind the Blood Curse Gate, the treasures we obtained now should be insignificant. Alright, let's set off. Although that Blood Curse Gate is not far from here, we should retrieve the treasures as soon as possible." The old man surnamed Lu pondered for a moment before saying.

"Brother Lu's words are reasonable, let's set off. I am also looking forward to what's behind the Blood Curse Gate. If it weren't for Master Master Cangkun discovering these ancient cultivator remains near the Blood Curse Gate by coincidence back then, we would be helpless against that gate. The person who cast the curse on the gate back then didn't leave the Blood Curse Gate far before passing away here. This is somewhat strange. It seems this ancient cultivator back then must have had another story."

"What story or not. I have no interest in these things. Brother Lord Nanlong, let's go."

Not long after, two escape lights shot out from the cave under the giant peak, crossing the giant peak and heading straight toward an unknown place.

At this time, Han Li was not staying nearby, having long since flown on the road back.

He was now a hundred miles away, and Silver Moon was asking something in his mind.

"Master. Are you really leaving just like that? Those two clearly have some things they are hiding from you. Those bones also seem to have some problems," Silver Moon's puzzled voice came over.

"I naturally know about this. It probably involves other treasures. Although I am also somewhat tempted. But what I care about more now is the Spirit Candle Fruit. Besides this, what other treasures in the valley are more useful to me? Having fallen behind the Ghost Spirit Sect for so long, no matter what schemes Marquis Lord Nanlong and the other have, I don't want to get involved anymore," Han Li said indifferently while flying.

"So that's how it is. Compared to the Spirit Candle Fruit, there are indeed no other treasures in the Falling Demon Valley that are more valuable to you. However, why did you suddenly pick up that Green Silkworm Robe? I don't think you were really coveting it," Silver Moon asked curiously about another matter.

"Hehe! In this matter, it can be said that those two old fellows are blind," Han Li curled his lips upon hearing this, saying with some sarcasm.

"Master, what does this mean?" Silver Moon was somewhat puzzled.

Han Li didn't answer immediately, but suddenly reached out and patted his storage bag.

With a flash of cyan spiritual light, the Green Silkworm Robe appeared in Han Li's hand.

With a "hiss," Han Li's two hands hooked like claws, easily tearing the Green Silkworm Robe along one corner. "Eh," Silver Moon was surprised.

Because Han Li had actually taken out a small piece of something that was neither cloth nor silk from the seam of the green robe. On it were some simple, rough lines drawn with charcoal in the most primitive way. Han Li put away the torn green robe, held the thin, soft thing in one hand, and narrowed his eyes to look at it carefully.

"This is a map. And it seems to be a map of the Falling Demon Valley." While Han Li was staring at the object, Silver Moon naturally saw it clearly too, but she couldn't help but exclaim after looking at it for only a few times.

Han Li didn't speak, but staring at a conspicuous, rough mark on the map, his eyes narrowed slightly.
