Chapter 878: Unjust Disaster

It has been over half a year since Han Li left the Falling Cloud Sect.

On the day he left Heavenly South, he entered the Tianlan Grassland directly.

Under his careful concealment of his cultivation base and identity, it started off very smoothly, and he even disguised himself as a free Immortal Master, going deep into many Tuluo tribes and exchanging some cultivation insights with some Tuluo Immortal Masters, always safe and sound.

But when he crossed most of the grassland and reached the southern part of the grassland, he encountered disaster for no reason.

In a wilderness area far from the Tuluo tribes, when he was releasing all his Gold-Devouring Insects for a routine time to ripen the strongest batch, he happened to encounter a mid-stage Nascent Soul Tuluo Elder who was hunting an unknown monster bird, and the one he was driving happened to be a mature Gold-Devouring Insect.

Because ripening with Neon Clothes Grass on the coral carried on his body was very convenient, and nothing had happened for so long, Han Li was careless for a moment and did not set up any high-tier concealment formation.

As a result, both sides encountered Han Li and the insect swarm. The result can be imagined.

This Tuluo high-tier Immortal Master was almost scared faint when he saw the tens of thousands of Gold-Devouring Insects on Han Li's head.

Immediately, he didn't care about any monster birds and opened his mouth to demand Han Li follow him to see some Holy Maiden.

How could Han Li agree to this? He immediately developed murderous intent.

He immediately cast several great divine abilities in one breath, even using his Second Nascent Soul, and smashed the other party's physical body to ashes.

But the thing Han Li felt depressed about happened.

The main cultivation technique practiced by this Tuluo Elder was extremely strange; it could actually split the Nascent Soul into seven parts, and each was proficient in Wood Escape Technique.

After a moment of carelessness, one of them actually escaped.

With this, Han Li knew he had definitely poked a hornet's nest. He didn't dare to stay for even a moment, traveling day and night, and flew toward the south.

But I don't know what method Tuluo Immortal Masters used to contact each other. A few days after he ran, many high-tier Nascent Soul Immortal Masters appeared on the road to block and hunt him down. In the end, even one of the Four Great Immortal Masters of the Tuluo appeared.

After fighting several battles in succession, although Han Li killed several high-tier Immortal Masters, he was still hit by that Great Immortal Master and suffered heavy injuries while distracted. If it weren't for relying on ten-thousand-year spiritual liquid to continuously cast the Blood Shadow Escape, I'm afraid his little life would have been handed over here.

But although he escaped with his life and used some small means to temporarily shake off the pursuers, Han Li discovered that the real trouble had just come upon him.

I don't know if it was because of the heavy injuries from several great battles, but the demonic energy that should have erupted after a long time actually backlashed early.

Fortunately, his spiritual sense was strong and he saw the opportunity early enough. Only then did he rely on secret techniques to forcibly suppress it.

In this way, the situation became worse.

Having no choice, he could only ask this Great Expansion Divine Monarch for a way to save himself.

Great Expansion Divine Monarch was worthy of being an old monster who had lived for ten thousand years; he immediately taught him this Five Ghosts Locking God Great Law. It could temporarily seal the demonic energy, but the consequences of using it were extremely serious. Before finding a way to remove the demonic energy, eight or nine tenths of his cultivation base would be completely sealed within his body. Otherwise, after recklessly using magic power, the demonic energy and the Five Ghosts would counterattack together. That would truly be a life-and-death dilemma!

Han Li knew the severity of this and hesitated to use it even after obtaining this method.

But when he flew to this place to escape the pursuit, the demonic energy backlashed aggressively again, far more fierce and powerful than the last time, and it was impossible to suppress with his own cultivation base!

In a moment of urgency, Han Li could only hurriedly land in this bush, without even time to set up a defensive formation, and cast the Five Ghosts Locking God Great Law as a last resort.

And when this group of the Canglu Tribe arrived here, Han Li was actually in the final stage of casting the Great Law. And when the young man named Tu Meng separated the bushes, Han Li's face was transforming into the appearance of one of the Five Ghosts, and he was just finishing his work.

The ferocious and terrifying ghost face naturally scared the young man quite a bit. I'm afraid he still thinks that ghost face is Han Li's true appearance.

Thinking of this, Han Li couldn't help but smile bitterly twice.

"The demonic energy is temporarily controlled, but with so much cultivation base sealed, the situation is still not much better. It's not bad to mix into this tribute team heading to the Tianlan Holy Temple for now," Han Li muttered to himself twice.

"Hehe! Although your cultivation base is sealed, and your flying swords and ancient treasures cannot be driven as you wish, you still have the Gold-Devouring Insects and the Second Nascent Soul to use. These two things are not affected by anything, enough to deal with ordinary cultivators. And before leaving the Falling Cloud Sect, if you hadn't left the Nascent Soul-level puppet you newly refined to that Senior Brother Lu of yours, and left most of the Foundation Establishment-level ones to that concubine, the situation would be better now. Mechanical puppets are the most suitable for your current situation to protect yourself," Great Expansion Divine Monarch said with a cold laugh.

"I left Heavenly South, and I don't know when I will return. Naturally, I have to set up some backups for the sect and Wan'er. Even if Senior Brother Cheng passes away before long, with the help of that Nascent Soul-level puppet, Senior Brother Lu should be able to handle some matters independently. Plus, with the help of Mu Mu Peiling's few giant turtle puppets, it will be even more secure. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to go to Great Jin with peace of mind," Han Li said indifferently.

"If you think so, then don't complain about any danger," Great Expansion Divine Monarch appeared somewhat disapproving.

Han Li fell silent, but after a while, he asked with a movement of his expression:

"Great Expansion Senior, if I remember correctly, you said that the demonic energy on my body seems to only be removable by a few secret techniques. And Buddhist sect cultivation techniques account for more than half. Is this truly the case?"

"It is indeed so. Besides Buddhist sect cultivation techniques, a few rare cultivation techniques of the Confucian and Daoist sects should also have ways to remove demonic energy, but they are definitely not as effective as Buddhist sect cultivation techniques," Great Expansion Divine Monarch replied lazily.

"Since that's the case, the most prominent characteristic of Buddhist sect cultivation techniques is that the magic power cultivated contains Buddhist power, and most cultivation techniques will present seven-colored spiritual light. This is also not false, right?" Han Li still asked with a flickering expression.

"Not bad! Why, have you discovered something?" Great Expansion Divine Monarch was somewhat puzzled, and his voice became a bit curious.

"If so, this person is still of some use. Perhaps it's an opportunity," Han Li muttered to himself, lowering his head.

Great Expansion Divine Monarch was asked in a nonsensical way, and seeing Han Li not answering his question, he was naturally unhappy. Just as he wanted to ask carefully, Han Li seemed to have made a decision in his heart, suddenly stomped his foot, and his whole person suddenly flew into the air, transforming into an azure streak, flying away toward a certain direction.

This move exceeded the expectations of both Silver Moon and Great Expansion Divine Monarch. Although they were puzzled, seeing Han Li in such a hurry, they could only put a stomach full of questions into their hearts first.

Ten-something miles away, Han Li arrived in a flash, which was a small forest very rarely seen on the grassland. It was only a mile large, and the trees were somewhat sparse and not very tall.

And in an open space about ten zhang large in the middle of the forest, there were two people.

However, one of the blue-robed people was lying on the ground with a black blood stain on his back, motionless, looking as if he were dead or alive. But a light barrier appeared on his body, protecting his whole body, presenting a seven-colored appearance, exceptionally gorgeous. And nearby was another person, an eagle-eyed purple-robed old man, who was driving a fiery red flying sword, transforming into slices of sword shadows, slashing at the light barrier.

The seven-colored light barrier, although extraordinary, was already shaking non-stop because it had no master to preside over it, and the light was flashing wildly.

Han Li appeared without concealment, which naturally startled the old man below.

The old man was startled at first, but after raising his head and sweeping with his spiritual sense, he discovered that Han Li's cultivation base was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and his heart relaxed again. He instead developed the intention to kill and silence him. He raised a hand, and a black light flashed and shot out, which was actually a three-sided nail wrapped in black energy, with extremely fast speed.

Han Li snorted coldly, and without saying a word, he patted his head, and a dark green black cloud "Whoosh" shot out from the top of his head, instantly transforming into a jade-green giant hand several feet long, meeting the black light and grabbing it.

The eagle-eyed old man was startled when he saw this scene, and before he understood what kind of cultivation technique this was, with a "Puff" muffled sound, the three-sided nail was grabbed by the giant hand like a straw, instantly losing contact with the old man's heart and mind, and at the same time, it flew toward the old man below without stopping.

With this, the eagle-eyed old man was scared out of his wits, and hurriedly pinched incantations with both hands, wanting to summon the red flying sword back to protect his body.

But the dark green giant hand flashed and disappeared on the way, but the next moment it appeared strangely a zhang above the old man's head, and instantly transformed into a giant fist and smashed down fiercely.

"Ah!"

The purple-robed old man only had time to let out a miserable cry before he was smashed into meat paste.

Then the dark green fist transformed back into a giant hand, and grabbed the old man's remains in the air. Immediately, a jade-green light ball the size of a chicken egg flew into the five fingers on its own.

The giant hand immediately flew back toward Han Li, circled once, and transformed into a dark green infant, landing on Han Li's shoulder. At this moment, it was holding the black three-sided nail in one hand and the jade-green light ball in the other, looking happy.

Han Li's eyebrows moved slightly.

Facing the siege of the Tuluo people, no matter how critical the situation was, his Second Nascent Soul hadn't been used even once, just to be used as a surprise to escape. But now, after a small test, its power seemed to far exceed his expectations. Just by using the Profound Changes Technique, it easily killed a Core Formation cultivator. It seems that a Nascent Soul is a Nascent Soul; ordinary Core Formation cultivators still cannot resist it.
