Chapter 837

Seeing that such a huge ice mountain seemed unable to hold on, Zi Ling's face turned pale, and she could not help but glance at Han Li on the side. 【Net】

Han Li stood in the middle of the light shield formed by the giant shield, his expression as calm as usual, without a trace of panic.

Seeing this, Zi Ling's heart also settled. She knew that Han Li likely had other defensive means, which was why he was so composed.

Somewhat to Zi Ling's surprise, in the time that followed, Han Li did not move to use any other magic treasures or divine abilities, and although the blue ice mountain swayed incessantly under the impact of the giant rocks and the wave of air, it was exceptionally tough, and in the end, not a single crack appeared.

Zi Ling was pleasantly surprised to realize that this blue ice was not condensed from ordinary cold air; it seemed to be three times harder than refined steel.

For a full time it takes to drink a cup of tea, this astonishing wave of air finally swept past crazily, fleeing far behind Han Li and the other. The rumbling sound also quietly faded away along with the disappearance of the white line in the distance.

"What on earth is this? How could there be such a thing in the Fallen Devil Valley?" Zi Ling let out a soft breath, turned the colorful clouds in front of her back into a brocade handkerchief, and held it in her hand before asking Han Li in confusion.

"I'm not sure, but the spiritual energy in the distance is not right; it's very chaotic. And this wave of air is truly astonishing; it's not something an ordinary person could create. Could it be that some spatial crack has developed a problem? However, this wave of air is so fierce that I don't think the inner valley's restrictions can block it. It's fine if Nascent Soul cultivators encounter it; most of them have the ability to protect themselves. If it rushes to the outer valley, those Core Formation cultivators will be in big trouble." Han Li's eyes flickered as he muttered.

Hearing Han Li's words, Zi Ling's beautiful eyebrows locked tightly. She also used her spiritual sense to sense the front, but although she sensed a little abnormality in the spiritual energy, it was too far away for her spiritual sense to sense it more carefully.

"It is a bit strange. Brother Han, do you intend to go over and take a look?" Zi Ling blinked her beautiful eyes and asked softly.

"Go over? Why go over? Whether this wave of air is man-made or just happened to erupt on its own, it's not a good place. Although I am a bit curious, I don't want to go looking for trouble. Let's return the way we came! Anyway, most of the goals for this trip into the valley have been achieved. Now, after this shocking change, the Ghost Spirit Sect likely won't have the energy to search for us. It's the perfect time to escape." Han Li hesitated for a moment before saying slowly with a decision.

Then he extended a finger and pointed at the giant shield in front of him. Instantly, the light shield on his body rapidly dissipated and disappeared. The shield also shrank rapidly and was collected into his sleeve as a few inches in size.

As for the ice mountain in front of him, Han Li extended a palm and pressed it lightly against the ice wall. Instantly, blue light burst forth, and the ice mountain shrank and melted in an instant.

A moment later, a small ball of blue flame, identical to the one before, merged into his palm.

Seeing this scene, a look of surprise flashed in Zi Ling's beautiful eyes.

Han Li raised his palm to look at it, a trace of satisfaction appearing on his face.

This technique of re-absorbing the ice flame into his body was a method of using the ice flame that he had just realized by utilizing the insights from the illusionary realm. Although it was his first time doing it, he was as familiar with it as if he had practiced it many times. It really made even Han Li himself somewhat surprised!

This showed that what he experienced in the illusion was not some false hallucination, but a true, higher-level understanding of heaven and earth. In this way, with the head start in realm experience, he had great hope of advancing to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul.

A slight smile appeared on Han Li's face, and he turned his head to say something more to Zi Ling, but just at this moment, light suddenly flickered in the sky behind them. Following that, two escape lights flew over one after another.

One yellow and one white, flickering and trembling, they flew toward this side as if fleeing for their lives.

"Eh!" Han Li swept his spiritual sense over and let out an unexpected soft sound.

"What is it, Brother Han? Do you recognize these two?" Zi Ling also probed with her spiritual sense, only to see that the owners of these two escape lights were both Nascent Soul cultivators, and she gained nothing else, so she could not help but ask.

"Of course I recognize them. They even have a little bit of a grudge with me!" Han Li frowned slightly. Then, staring at the distance with a strange expression, he said indifferently.

The two people in the escape lights in the distance—one with a sallow face wearing a yellow robe was none other than the Old Ancestor Ancestor Linghu of the Yellow Maple Valley, and the white-clothed woman beside him with a slightly pale face and icy expression was the Great Elder of the Masked Moon Sect, the senior sister of Nangong Wan.

These two had also come to the Fallen Devil Valley. Han Li could not help but be somewhat stunned!

He had not seen these two enter the valley before. It seemed they had either disguised themselves to mix in or had deliberately dragged it out until the end to sneak into the valley.

These two currently had fearful expressions. They were desperately urging their escape lights to flee, clearly with no one behind them, yet they acted as if something terrifying was tailing them, not daring to stop for even a moment.

Han Li felt very strange inside. But these two people's divine abilities were not weak!

Old Ancestor Ancestor Linghu was a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and Nangong Wan's senior sister also had exceptionally sharp cultivation techniques and magic treasures. It was truly hard to believe that such two people would be in such a sorry state of flight while joining forces.

Could it be that the one chasing and killing them from behind was the Mulan Dharma Master, that Divine Master surnamed Zhong?

Thinking of this, Han Li's heart also tightened.

His relationship with the Mulan Dharma Masters could be considered terrible; he had ruined the Mulan people's good deeds several times, and quite a few high-tier Mulan Dharma Masters had died at his hands. If he ran into that Divine Master surnamed Zhong, he was afraid that the other party would attack him without mercy.

Thinking of this, Han Li did not dare to hesitate. He immediately shook his body and, taking advantage of the fact that the two in the distance had not yet noticed this place, he flashed to Zi Ling's side.

Before the woman could open her mouth in surprise, Han Li pinched a spell with both hands, spiritual light flickered on his body, and a patch of green clouds suddenly appeared above their heads, lightly shrouding them.

Han Li and Zi Ling's figures faded in the green light and instantly disappeared without a trace, hiding themselves.

Just at this moment, the two escape lights in the distance had just barely approached the mountain peak where Han Li was located.

Han Li could even see Old Ancestor Ancestor Linghu's iron-blue and gray-white complexion clearly. Suddenly, Han Li's eyes flickered, and he stared at a certain spot a hundred-odd feet behind the two, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Where do you think you're going? What, you don't even want your companions anymore! Tsk tsk, your cultivation is not bad, and your primordial spirits are thicker than ordinary people's; you are just right to be this Venerable One's great supplement. How could this Venerable One let you run away? There won't be any accidents this time. You two had better obediently surrender."

This wild laughter was unscrupulous, without the slightest intention of restraint. After just a few short sentences, it shook the nearby sky, and cultivators within a radius of ten-odd miles could hear it clearly.

Then, at the spot Han Li was staring at, at a certain point behind the two escape lights, black light suddenly flashed, and a wisp of black radiance emerged eerily.

After this black radiance appeared, it flickered unsteadily, appearing and disappearing. But every time it flashed, it eerily shortened the distance to the escape lights in front. After a moment, the black radiance was only fifty or sixty feet away from Old Ancestor Ancestor Linghu and his companion in front.

And at this moment, a figure vaguely appeared within the black radiance. Although it was exceptionally blurry, Han Li hurriedly focused his eyes to look.

However, he did not know what kind of cultivation technique or secret art this black radiance was; even with his cultivation, he could not let his spiritual sense penetrate it, and could only vaguely see a general outline from the outside. But Han Li was quite familiar with this person's figure. With a turn of his mind, he recognized this person, and Han Li was greatly shocked inside!

"Marquis Lord Nanlong? How could he be here, and how did he become like this?" Han Li was incomparably suspicious inside.

This person was none other than the demonized "Marquis Lord Nanlong."

Although Han Li did not know that the other party's body had been invaded by a demonic soul and was no longer the original Marquis Lord Nanlong, the demonic Qi on the other party was soaring to the heavens, and he dared to chase and kill Old Ancestor Ancestor Linghu and the Great Elder of the Masked Moon Sect alone. Naturally, he knew that there was something tricky about it, and he did not act rashly.

At this moment, the black radiance driven by "Marquis Lord Nanlong" saw that he was only thirty-odd feet away from the two in front. He let out a sinister, strange laugh in his mouth, and after a "Puff" sound, the black radiance actually exploded directly.

A mass of demonic Qi, as black as ink, appeared out of thin air, wrapping him within it. Then, black light flashed wildly, and Marquis Lord Nanlong instantly disappeared within the black Qi.

Old Ancestor Ancestor Linghu and the white-clothed woman were constantly paying attention to "Marquis Lord Nanlong's" movements. Seeing him disappear eerily, the two of them actually changed their expressions, and simultaneously stopped their escape lights without prior agreement. Each of them raised a hand, and an ancient black mirror and a yellow, hazy jade Jade Ruyi flew out simultaneously, each turning into a mass of spiritual light to protect the two within it.

And not far in front of the two, black light flashed, and pitch-black demonic Qi gushed out without warning, instantly filling a space of ten-odd feet wide. Marquis Lord Nanlong's figure then flashed and swayed within the black Qi.

"You clearly know that you are no match for me, yet you still insist on resisting; you are truly stupid to the extreme!" Marquis Lord Nanlong said with a ferocious grin in the black Qi, seemingly waving his hand casually.

A loud "Bang" sound came, as if an invisible giant hand had struck the light shield formed by the white-clothed woman's precious mirror. Instantly, she and the mirror were knocked backward seven or eight feet away, only then barely steadying her figure while swaying.

Old Ancestor Ancestor Linghu's already iron-blue face was now even uglier to look at.

"What on earth are you? Not only did you possess the body of fellow Daoist Lord Nanlong, but you also dare to devour the primordial spirits and Nascent Souls of our cultivators. Do you really think you can be a match for all the cultivators who entered this valley? There are dozens of cultivators who entered the Fallen Devil Valley this time who are at least at the Nascent Soul stage. No matter how powerful you are, it will be hard for you to escape death." Old Ancestor Ancestor Linghu suddenly shouted sharply.

"Dozens, hehe! Excellent. I originally thought there were only you few human cultivators in the valley. Now that there are so many Nascent Souls for this Venerable One to devour, this Venerable One is in no hurry to find my body first. As long as I devour all the Nascent Souls, I suppose this Venerable One's soul power will be enough to recover seven or eight tenths!" 'Marquis Lord Nanlong' not only did not fear, but instead grinned gloomily.

Following that, with a loud "Boom" sound, the black Qi instantly exploded into pieces. Then, a pitch-black human figure carrying a series of afterimages shot out from the black Qi, pouncing directly toward Old Ancestor Ancestor Linghu.
