Chapter 896: Astonishing Turn

Han Li narrowed his eyes, circulated the first layer of the Tongbao Jue (All-Treasure Formula), and held the small tripod above his head. Net

A dragon roar sound came out, and the tripod lid flew into the sky with a blue light, then thousands of five-colored spiritual lights erupted from the tripod, and the green light emitted by the Tianlan Holy Maiden was like ten thousand rivers returning to the sea, turning into a bundle of green mist, and was collected into the tripod in a flash.

The silver-robed woman was greatly startled, and Han Li was also stunned for a moment.

At this moment, the giant tripod under the Tianlan Holy Maiden's feet also emitted a strange humming sound, and then it turned into a green rainbow amidst the green light, shooting toward the bottom.

The silver-robed woman's face turned pale, and she hurriedly pinched spells with both hands, wanting to summon back the giant tripod, but the spell failed, and the green light ignored her, shooting directly into the small tripod below, vanishing without a trace.

The Tianlan Holy Maiden was furious and shocked, but the matter was not over yet.

Han Li's Void Heaven Tripod suddenly flew out on its own, spun endlessly, and aimed its mouth at the white mist on the side, with faint light mist flickering.

A black shadow shot out from the mist with a terrified roar, fleeing toward the high sky.

It was the ox-headed dragon-bodied Tianlan Sacred Beast.

But a gorgeous blue mist sprayed out from the tripod, catching up with the Tianlan Beast at an unbelievable speed, instantly wrapping it inside.

The Tianlan Beast roared wildly and struggled, but the blue mist seemed to be its nemesis, completely ineffective, and instead circled once, and the beast's body shrank rapidly, being carried directly into the tripod.

The tripod lid circled once and fell from the sky, covering the tripod mouth, trapping the Tianlan Beast inside.

These strange changes happened extremely fast, all in the blink of an eye.

The silver-robed woman's face turned pale.

She truly couldn't accept that she had clearly been in the upper hand, but in the blink of an eye, she had fallen into the abyss.

Not only did the other party break free, but even the Sacred Tripod and the Sacred Beast's avatar had been collected at the same time.

However, this woman was not an ordinary person. Her eyes turned coldly, and she landed on the Void Heaven Tripod in Han Li's hand.

She knew very well that the reason for all these huge changes lay in this thing that looked similar to the Sacred Tripod. And judging from the Sacred Tripod's loss of control, this tripod must have a great origin with the Sacred Tripod, otherwise, such an astonishing change wouldn't have occurred.

This tripod must be snatched!

This woman made up her mind in an instant!

Han Li was naturally both surprised and happy, but seeing the cold light flickering in her eyes, how could he not know what the other party was planning? He laughed, flapped his silver wings, and appeared dozens of feet away.

Without hesitation, he beckoned to the giant sword, then his ten fingers shook rapidly like shadows, forming a series of strange hand seals, green light flickered all over his body, and an astonishing spiritual qi erupted from him.

He opened his mouth, spat out several clusters of essence blood, which scattered in the wind, turning into wisps of blood mist, and the spiritual light instantly turned into a green-red eerie color.

At the same time, in the blood mist, Han Li's figure became blurry and indistinct.

"Not good!" Seeing Han Li's action, the Tianlan Holy Maiden felt a great anxiety in her heart, let out a sharp shout, raised both hands, and shot out two clusters of silver light, which turned into countless silver threads, covering Han Li from all directions.

The range of dozens of feet was instantly filled with silver light, which was truly astonishing.

But Han Li waited for the giant sword to fly back, his figure flickered a few times in the blood mist, and a blood shadow shot out, vanishing into thin air.

The next moment, blood light flickered twice in the sky, and Han Li was gone without a trace.

The Tianlan Holy Maiden's heart sank, and she hurriedly released her divine sense, but just as she found the target hundreds of miles away, Han Li used the Blood Shadow Escape again, and fled beyond the limit of her divine sense.

This woman's face turned iron-blue, and she floated in the air without moving.

At the same time, in another place thousands of miles away, the handsome young man had nine buzzing emerald flying wheels circling in front of him, looking at the boundless grassland on the ground, a strange expression appearing on his face.

"Wood Escape Technique? To be able to hide and escape with the help of grass and wood power after being injured to this extent. That magic tool's power is also not small. The backlash of fighting to the death just now was truly tricky. However, from just now, there has been a bad feeling, could it be that something happened to the others?" The young man pondered for a few moments, glanced in the opposite direction, hesitated for a moment, then merged the nine wheels into one, turning into an emerald rainbow and fleeing back.

And in a patch of inconspicuous low shrubs, a pitch-black shiny small flag was inserted into the ground, the flag surface flickering with black light, a pitch-black infant about an inch tall lying unconscious on it, black qi rolling all over its body, absorbing the pure demonic qi hidden in the flag to heal itself.

In another direction, the purple-haired beautiful woman spent some effort, trapped thousands of Gold-Devouring Beetles with a jade ancient treasure, and after blocking the Thunder Bead that startled her, she pierced through the body of the young man opposite her with a sword. But as a result, light flashed on the other party's body, and suddenly she turned into a charming woman, white light flashed, and the body turned into dots of light, disappearing without a trace.

The beautiful woman was stunned on the spot.

A few hours later, the handsome young man, the purple-haired beautiful woman, and the Tianlan Holy Maiden gathered together again, and after telling each other their situations, they all looked at each other in dismay.

"So, not only did we not obtain the cultivation method of the Gold-Devouring Beetles from the other party, but we also lost the Sacred Tripod and the Sacred Beast." The young man frowned, his voice low.

"The Sacred Tripod is fine, there is another spare one in the clan. It can still summon the Sacred Beast. But the Sacred Beast's avatar was collected by that person. This will probably provoke the wrath of the upper realm's Sacred Beast. We must snatch it back." The purple-haired beautiful woman also had an ugly expression.

"This time, I was too careless. I didn't expect this person to have a way to restrain the Sacred Tripod, which led to this matter. Then I will go to Great Jin and rescue the Sacred Beast's avatar. Moreover, that person's small tripod is so strange, actually being able to control our Sacred Tripod, this is an extraordinary matter. I suspect this item is the true body of the All-Treasure Treasure that the Sacred Tripod imitated. Otherwise, it cannot explain this matter." The silver-robed woman was calm, saying slowly.

"All-Treasure Treasure! That's unlikely. Such treasures shouldn't exist in this world at all. They should have all been taken to the upper realm by ancient cultivators. The Sacred Tripod was also obtained by a peerless talented Great Immortal Master of our Tuwu people in a certain generation, using secret techniques to communicate with the Sacred Beast and obtaining the imitation method from the other party. How could the All-Treasure Treasure, which served as the true body, be left in the human world?" The purple-haired beautiful woman revealed a look of disbelief.

"This is hard to say! Since even Ancient Demons can appear in the human world, it is not impossible for a few All-Treasure Treasures to be left in the human world." The handsome young man shook his head and said indifferently.

Hearing the words "Ancient Demon," the expressions of the purple-haired beautiful woman and the Tianlan Holy Maiden both changed.

"Hmph! Everyone says how terrifying Ancient Demons are. It's a pity that we didn't have the chance to fight and test the other party. But this demon's escape technique is truly miraculous, actually not facing us at all, and crossing the grassland calmly to Great Jin." The purple-haired beautiful woman was somewhat unconvinced.

"That's because this demon was already seriously injured, and as soon as it entered the grassland, it happened to be bumped into by us. We chased it all the way, forcing it to have no time to stay and heal. Otherwise, I don't know how much chaos it would have caused in the grassland!" The young man sighed and revealed a bitter smile.

"Regardless of whether that person's treasure is truly an All-Treasure Treasure. They killed so many of our Immortal Masters and took away the Sacred Beast, so it absolutely cannot be left like this. I, as the Holy Maiden, and the tripod was lost in my hands, so I must personally find it back. Otherwise, it won't be easy to respond to the Sacred Beast's questioning next time we summon it." The silver-robed woman said with a gloomy expression.

Hearing this, the young man and the beautiful woman looked at each other, seemingly exchanging views.

"Since the Holy Maiden is so persistent, going to Great Jin is fine. But many sects in Great Jin have some prejudice against our Tuwu Immortal Masters. It is best for the Holy Maiden not to reveal her identity. After all, with that person's divine abilities, their influence in Great Jin shouldn't be small. You can go to the Yin Luo Sect first to see if the other party

"Since the Saintess is so persistent about this matter, a trip to Great Jin is fine. However, many sects in Great Jin have some prejudices against our Mutu Clan masters. It is best if the Saintess does not reveal her identity. After all, with that person's divine abilities, their influence in Great Jin should not be small. You can first go to the Yinluo Sect to see if the other party is truly an elder of the Yinluo Sect. After clarifying their identity, return to the grassland to notify us. We can all assist you," the young man nodded and said.

"I understand. That person's divine abilities are not beneath mine. I will not act rashly!" the silver-robed woman said with a solemn expression.

Thus, the three of them immediately returned. The Tianlan Saintess prepared to depart for Great Jin to find Han Li after handling some matters.

Great Jin's Liao Province is one of the 108 provinces of Great Jin, with an area that ranks in the top ten, but unfortunately, most of the region is in a frigid land, covered in snow all year round, so the population is sparse. Its level of prosperity only ranks in the lower-middle among all provinces.

The Shun River within Liao Province is the second largest river in this province and is also one of the few rivers that does not freeze during the flood season, so every year at this time, whether they are merchants selling goods or travelers with urgent matters, they all travel downstream by boat. This is much more convenient than riding horses or carriages.

And every stretch of the waterway, this river has Great Jin official boats patrolling along it.

However, despite this, with so many passenger boats and such a long river, there are naturally many desperate people who, regardless of the risk of beheading and family extermination, take the risk to rob passing ships.

Therefore, some larger ships cannot avoid hiring some agile escorts who know some martial arts to stay on the ship for protection.

Wang Wang Tieqiang is just such an ordinary escort for protecting ships. From his name, one can see that he naturally has some skill in spear techniques.

But these are secondary; the most important thing is that his experience as an escort is truly too rich. Since he entered this line of work when he was young, he has been doing it for more than twenty years, transforming from a naive youth into a veteran of the pugilistic world who does not show his emotions.

Now, he stands steadily at the bow of a large ship, pressing one hand on the wooden railing by the side of the ship, sizing up the passing ships nearby with a wooden expression on his face.

This trip is just a very ordinary escort mission for him. The only thing a bit special is that it is said the ship owner is a family member of some government official, and they have quite a background.

Generally speaking, such semi-official ships are not easily provoked even by those river bandits, so it counts as a relatively easy escort mission.

And this trip was just as expected; the large ship had traveled more than half the distance, and everything was smooth sailing without any waves.

Now he is pondering that this ship owner is also quite generous; the silver given looks like it is enough to buy his wife and children at home a few bolts of good cloth and make a few good sets of clothes. Thinking of this, the image of his seven or eight-year-old son couldn't help but appear in Wang Wang Tieqiang's mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but spread into a smile.

But just at this moment, a woman's surprised cry came from one side of the ship.

"Come quickly and look, there is a huge block of ice here, and inside... inside there seems to be a person."
