Chapter 969: Twin Scorpion Mountain

Half a day later, Han Li put away the Heaven Mystery Mansion and drove an escape light toward the inland direction. 【Web】 Because he didn't need to be distracted by searching for anything, he returned to the land after more than half a month.

Han Li didn't go to the Heaven Talisman Sect again and immediately flew toward the Southern Border.

On the way, he stopped and went, refining the materials for the Three Flames Fan into spirit materials with infant fire.

But unfortunately, he didn't encounter any thunderstorms along the way, and the thunder fire power could not be collected, which made Han Li somewhat depressed.

However, he was not in a hurry. The Southern Border was full of dense forests and hot and humid air, and most of the rain was accompanied by thunder and lightning, so collecting thunder fire would be a matter of time once he reached the Southern Border.

Four months later, Han Li finally crossed several counties and appeared in the Southern Border County.

The Southern Border was one of the few places in the world not controlled by great sects, and the resources in the county were occupied and divided by more than a dozen medium-sized sects.

Although these sects fought endlessly, once other forces invaded the Southern Border, they would immediately unite to fight the enemy. Even those sects in the top ten righteous and demonic sects could not invade their forces, and they had the posture of becoming a country in the Great Jin.

The reason for this situation was that the Southern Border sects were very xenophobic, and their cultivation techniques were self-contained.

The cultivation techniques practiced by these sects were mostly rare and poisonous methods in the cultivation world. Not only were they good at using poison and driving insects, but they were also superb in curse and evil arts. When cultivators of the same rank fought with them, they would be inexplicably poisoned if they were not careful, which was truly impossible to guard against.

This was also the main reason why those great sects were unwilling to easily clash head-on with the Southern Border sects. Otherwise, if several great sects joined forces, it was not impossible to forcibly seize this county, even if it meant suffering heavy losses.

Chaoyun Prefecture was located in the west of the Southern Border, and Twin Scorpion Mountain was a mountain range in Chaoyun Prefecture that was rarely visited. For all year round, it was shrouded in miasma, and those who were not high-level or had not taken pills specially designed to overcome miasma could not enter this mountain range at all.

And this mountain range had some fame in the Southern Border. Because of the local poison gas, not only were there several valuable poisonous herbs in the mountain, but it also produced iron-tailed and red-lined poisonous scorpions, which were excellent spirit insects for local low-tier cultivators to perform insect-driving techniques.

When Han Li arrived near this mountain, it was the annual miasma outbreak period of Twin Scorpion Mountain, and many cultivators gathered around the mountain range. Because only during this period would the two types of poisonous scorpions appear to forage from their caves, it was an excellent opportunity to capture poisonous insects.

However, these cultivators were mostly at the Qi Refining stage, and occasionally there were a few Foundation Establishment cultivators mixed among them. Cultivators above the Core Formation stage had no interest in this mountain range and generally would not have high-tier cultivators here.

If a high-level expert like Han Li, who was already at the mid-stage Nascent Soul, appeared in this place, it would naturally cause no small commotion if discovered by other cultivators. Therefore, Han Li didn't stay near the mountain range at all and flew straight into the miasma from high altitude.

Now, his body was shrouded in a mass of cyan spiritual light, and the pink miasma was easily blocked outside. After identifying the direction, he flew straight toward the center of the mountain range.

These miasmas were dense, and poisonous insects appeared from time to time, which was almost a fatal danger to low-tier cultivators, but to Han Li, it was naturally not worth mentioning at all.

Although the Fu-surnamed old man only mentioned the name of Twin Scorpion Mountain back then and didn't explain the specific location, going to the main peak of Twin Scorpion Mountain would not be wrong.

Flying over from the sky, if he occasionally bumped into a few cultivators, Han Li didn't pay any attention to them at all and flew over them directly from high altitude.

With his escape speed, these low-tier cultivators couldn't discover him at all.

But just as Han Li was flying and thinking about the purpose of the Fu-surnamed old man inviting him here,

suddenly a sharp scream came from a distance on one side.

"It's the Scorpion King, it's a mutated Iron-Tailed Scorpion. Everyone run." A hoarse man's terrified shout came faintly, followed by several explosions and a strange insect cry at the same time. It seemed that it was not too far from him.

Han Li's expression moved, and he turned his head to look in that direction, blue light flickering in his eyes.

The sound of "whoosh whoosh" breaking through the air rang out one after another, and then several men and women appeared in the miasma, running toward Han Li's side as if flying. These people were pointing their toes on the ground, jumping several feet away at a time, looking like they were performing light body techniques.

"Eh!" Han Li's originally cold expression couldn't help but let out a light sound when his gaze turned to a woman, and his escape light paused and stopped.

Following that, he flicked his sleeve, and a large sheet of cyan light flew out. Wherever the light passed, all the miasma was swept away, and in the blink of an eye, a clear world of several dozen feet appeared all around.

And those few figures also plunged into it in this short moment, and seeing this strange phenomenon, they stopped their steps in surprise.

Before they could react, Han Li grabbed toward the direction behind them out of thin air with one hand, and a cyan light hand appeared out of thin air in the miasma and grabbed fiercely downward. Something black was grabbed into the big hand, and after circling once, it shot back and stayed in front of Han Li.

It was actually a giant scorpion a foot large, its insect shell black and shiny, and the scorpion tail behind it was half a foot long, with a faint purple light on the scorpion hook, seeming exceptionally poisonous.

It was the mutated Iron-Tailed Scorpion that was chasing these few low-tier cultivators.

This scorpion should be a Level 2 demonic beast, but under the restraint of the light hand, it couldn't move at all, and could only let out weak strange cries from its mouth.

These few cultivators were stunned by all this, looking at Han Li, who was cyan and hazy in mid-air, at a loss.

"After parting in the capital, why did Fellow Daoist Wang appear in this place, and is Miss Cao well?" Han Li's light faded, and he said calmly to one of the female cultivators.

"You are Fellow Daoist Han, no, Senior Han! Junior Sister Cao is still staying in the capital and didn't come out with Junior. Junior is here with a few fellow daoists to find a few spirit herbs." This yellow-shirted woman was stunned at first, then her face was full of surprise and joy; it was the Senior Sister Wang of Cao Cao Mengrong whom he had met once outside the capital.

After the sword cry drove the sword away on that day, this woman naturally knew Han Li's high-level cultivator identity, so at this moment, after recognizing Han Li, her attitude naturally couldn't be as casual as that day, and she immediately automatically performed the junior ceremony, her expression exceptionally respectful.

The other cultivators saw that the Wang-surnamed woman knew the great supernatural power cultivator in the sky, and they also felt relieved in their hearts, successively stepping forward to salute and thank him.

However, including the Wang-surnamed woman, they all regarded Han Li as a Core Formation cultivator. Nascent Soul cultivators were too far away for them and were simply impossible to come into contact with.

"Your uncle is the Pillar South Great General; why do you have to take risks here for a few spirit herbs?" Han Li heard that Cao Cao Mengrong was fine, nodded, glanced at the giant scorpion, and frowned again.

"Junior's family is still considered wealthy and has accumulated some spirit stones, but Junior's aptitude is ordinary, so how could the clan spend many spirit stones on Junior." The Wang-surnamed woman's face turned pale, and she said with a bitter smile.

"So that's how it is. Actually, your aptitude is not too bad, and foundation establishment is not without hope. And being able to meet me again here by coincidence can be considered a fate with me. This poisonous insect will be given to you. I have matters to attend to, so you can take care of yourselves." Han Li said this and pointed at the light hand casually.

Suddenly, with a soft "bang," the light hand dissipated into dots of cyan light, and the giant scorpion shook its body and fell in front of these few cultivators, without moving, like a dead object.

"Senior, I..."

The woman was overjoyed and wanted to say words of thanks, but Han Li's body flashed with cyan light and disappeared into the miasma in a flash. The woman's words of thanks could only stop in her mouth.

And the other cultivators, looking at the mutated giant scorpion on the ground, had envious expressions.

But this scorpion was a gift from a high-level cultivator, so even if someone had evil thoughts, they didn't dare to truly snatch the giant scorpion, and could only watch the Wang-surnamed woman stick several talismans on the poisonous insect in one breath before happily putting it into the spirit beast bag.

And just at this time, a thunderclap came from the sky, and then the sky originally shrouded in red miasma suddenly rolled endlessly, followed by a gust of wind from nowhere, which blew away some of the red miasma in the sky, vaguely revealing the pitch-black dark clouds in the high sky, a sign of a coming storm.

"This wind and rain came at the right time." At this time, Han Li had already seen a pitch-black mountain peak from afar, looked up at it, and muttered to himself.

Then he turned into a green rainbow and shot toward the peak.

Several thunderclaps rang out, and suddenly a torrential rain fell from the sky. The miasma all around was washed away by the heavy rain, rapidly shrinking and lowering, all rushing to a few feet above the ground. Distant other mountain peaks were revealed one by one in the heavy rain.

Han Li's light faded, and he landed on a giant rock on the peak. Under the cover of spiritual light, his body was not wet by a single drop of water. However, not far from the giant rock, there were seven or eight cultivators gathered here, two at the Foundation Establishment stage and the rest at the Qi Refining stage.

These people looked at Han Li who suddenly appeared on the peak in surprise, and couldn't help but look at each other.

Han Li scanned these people, suddenly released astonishing spiritual energy, flicked his sleeve, and said coldly in his mouth

"Get out of here!"

A gust of wind blew, and a mass of cyan light rolled out.

These cultivators were shocked, some released protective shields to resist, some hurriedly drove their tools to fly into the sky, but after the light flashed, without exception, they were all swept into the cyan light, and then were thrown twenty or thirty feet away, becoming rolling gourds, all of them in a sorry state, with terrified faces.

This time, these people knew they had encountered a high-level cultivator with great supernatural powers, and without a word, they ran wildly toward the foot of the mountain. The two Foundation Establishment cultivators secretly probed Han Li's cultivation, and their faces turned bloodless, and they directly drove their tools and left, not daring to delay for a moment.

Han Li watched these people turn into black dots and finally disappear from the top of the mountain, then retracted his gaze without expression and looked up at the sky.

At this moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds, silver snakes were dancing wildly, and thunder was constant!
