Chapter 660: Ruthless Old Devil Han, Heavenly Vault Issues a Challenge

Chat Group?

I am Bai Xiaochun: "Everyone, is there anyone coming to form a team? Brother Han is too steady; there is absolutely no opportunity to make a move."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Isn't this good? Xiaochun!"

Demon Queen: "What do you call this again? Terrible at the game but loves to play."

Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction: "Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Han. What was your mission this time again?"

Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "Slay the Second-Tier Demon Beast Ink Flood Dragon; completing the mission will earn twenty thousand points. Second-Tier corresponds to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Judging by Han's cultivation, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Bad Commander: "Generally speaking, mission points are linked to mission difficulty. Twenty thousand points is not a small sum; I fear this mission hides some mystery."

Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "Indeed, Han thinks so as well. I fear there will be unexpected variables when the time comes."

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Just go in and brute force it."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Well said!"

Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "Cannot be impulsive; must plan carefully."

As these words fell, time in the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land also flowed by rapidly. In the blink of an eye, five days had passed, with two days remaining until the Forbidden Land closed.

After five days of contention and fighting, of the several hundred cultivators who originally entered the Forbidden Land, only forty or fifty remained now. Most had fallen, either killed by human cultivators or eaten by Demon Beasts.

Han Li was also preparing to go out with Bai Xiaochun to find the location of the Ink Flood Dragon.

However, fluctuations of magical power came from afar, and several figures flew over rapidly.

Han Li and Bai Xiaochun hurriedly concealed their presence.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Several figures landed. The first to come into view was a tall female cultivator in yellow robes. The female cultivator had a beautiful face, eyes like autumn water, apricot eyebrows, and a jade nose; she could be considered a beauty.

However, she looked quite disheveled at this moment. Her pale yellow Taoist robe was torn, and bits of snow-white skin were exposed on her arms and calves, looking extremely alluring.

"Do not look at what is improper."

Seeing this, Bai Xiaochun immediately covered his eyes, but a gap remained between his fingers; he was peeking.

Han Li wore a thoughtful expression and secretly said: "Senior Sister Chen."

This Senior Sister Chen was also a disciple of Yellow Maple Valley, named Chen Qiaoqian.

Although the two of them had no interaction, in the original script, she had once been infatuated with Han Li.

"It seems Senior Sister Chen is being hunted," Han Li thought to himself.

Sure enough, four cultivators wearing green Taoist robes appeared one after another behind her. Looking at their attire, they were cultivators from the Heavenly Vault Fortress of the Yue Country.

"Junior Sister Chen, hand over the Blood Spirit Mushroom. Out of consideration for the friendship between our two sects, I can give you a decent way to die."

The one speaking was a young cultivator dressed like a scholar. He looked oily and slick, though his actual age might have been sixty years.

"Senior Brother, it would be a pity to kill such a delicate beauty."

A burly man with a scar on his face revealed a lewd smile.

He looked at Chen Qiaoqian greedily, wishing he could ravage the female cultivator before him.

Hearing this, the oily-faced scholar smiled even more maliciously and said: "Junior Sister Chen, you wouldn't want your reputation to be ruined after death, would you?"

Chen Qiaoqian stared fixedly at the Heavenly Vault Fortress cultivators, a trace of sorrow appearing in her eyes.

She had obtained a thousand-year-old Blood Spirit Mushroom, which, although not a material for the Foundation Establishment Pill...

... if one consumed the Blood Spirit Mushroom after Foundation Establishment, one could quickly advance to the mid-stage or even late-stage of Foundation Establishment. The spiritual power contained in this Blood Spirit Mushroom was too strong.

The so-called "an innocent man commits no crime, but his treasure makes him a target"; the news that she had the Blood Spirit Mushroom had leaked, leading to a pursuit all the way here.

The other Yellow Maple Valley disciples had also mostly fallen, and they could not help her for the moment.

In the current situation, even if she handed over the Blood Spirit Mushroom, the other party probably would not let her go and might even subject her to unimaginable torture.

"You kill people and seize treasures like this; are you not afraid of the Yellow Maple Valley Elders finding out?" Chen Qiaoqian questioned.

"This Blood-Colored Forbidden Land cannot be entered by anyone other than those in the Qi Refining stage. How could any Foundation Establishment Elder know? Junior Sister Chen, hurry and hand over the Blood Spirit Mushroom; do not make a futile resistance," the oily-faced scholar said in a gentle tone.

"Heh, honey-mouthed but sword-hearted. Do you think I am a three-year-old child?" Chen Qiaoqian smiled disdainfully.

After hearing this, the expression on the oily-faced scholar's face gradually faded, becoming incomparably cold, and he said indifferently:

"Junior Brother, beat her to death."

The burly cultivator grinned hideously, his demeanor cruel.

Black light flickered in his hand, and a Wolf-Tooth Club covered in barbs appeared.

"Little girl, once I catch you, you're going to suffer."

As the words fell, the burly man raised the Wolf-Tooth Club and smashed it down fiercely.

Chen Qiaoqian dodged nimbly, and the burly man smashed a large pit into the ground.

"Eighth Level of Qi Refining."

Chen Qiaoqian saw the opponent's realm; it was the same as her own, but the opponent was a strength-type. She could not take him head-on, and she was already injured.

In a trance, the burly man launched a fierce attack; everything the Wolf-Tooth Club passed over was destroyed and shattered.

Chen Qiaoqian defended while using her Flying Sword to look for openings.

Suddenly, rows of silver flying needles flew over rapidly through the air. She hurriedly dodged; although she avoided most of them, her shoulder and chest were both struck. Instantly, her whole body went numb, and she was unable to move.

The flying needles were poisonous!

The oily-faced scholar recalled the flying needles; this was his unique magic treasure, named Lady Needle!

Do not let its plain name fool you; its power was not to be underestimated, and dozens of cultivators had already died by its hand.

Seeing this, the burly man swung the Wolf-Tooth Club toward Chen Qiaoqian's head, preparing to finish her off.

And compared to a living person, he preferred a dead one!

"My life ends here!"

At the last moment, Chen Qiaoqian closed her eyes and quietly waited for death.

Boom!

Hearing only a violent tremor, the crushing pain she had imagined did not come; Chen Qiaoqian slowly opened her eyes, and a familiar figure appeared before her, murmuring:

"Junior Brother Li?"

Clearly, this was Li Feiyu, played by Han Li, and Bai Xiaochun.

"In broad daylight, under the bright sky, to actually bully a fairy sister—this is truly the decline of morality. For the sake of love and justice, I, Bai Xiaochun, shall represent the moon and eliminate you all."

Bai Xiaochun took a step forward, resting his chin on one hand with the air of someone pointing out the lay of the land.

"??"

The burly man who had been sent flying was completely bewildered.

"?" the oily-faced scholar.

"So, you brought help."

The oily-faced scholar noticed the Yellow Maple Valley Taoist robe on Han Li's body and assumed that Chen Qiaoqian's fellow sect members had arrived.

"Junior Brother Li, be careful," Chen Qiaoqian warned.

"Rest assured, Senior Sister Chen."

Han Li said calmly, then sent a voice transmission to Bai Xiaochun: "Delays lead to Transformation; do not hold back, it is best to kill with one strike."

"No problem, Big Brother. With one flick of my finger, I, Bai Xiaochun, will make the opponents vanish into ashes."

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

One could only see afterimages flickering continuously as flying swords, magical treasures, poison needles, and shields flew about in chaos.

Magical power of different attributes exploded, wild winds howled, and murderous intent lay hidden within.

In the span of a few breaths, the oily-faced scholar, the burly man, and the other Heavenly Vault Fortress disciples were all killed.

Chen Qiaoqian witnessed the entire process with a look of shock on her face; she had not expected that the usually low-key Junior Brother Li would be so formidable. With such cultivation, she feared he had no rivals in the Qi Refining Stage.

She did not know that the current Han Li was a hidden Golden Core Stage cultivator; dealing with a few Qi Refining cultivators could be resolved in an instant. The main reason he had taken a few extra breaths was the fear that overly high-level magical power might cause some unforeseen anomaly.

Having killed these scoundrels, Bai Xiaochun immediately felt refreshed, and the gloom of the past few days was swept away.

"So this is the feeling of helping others; it really is great," Bai Xiaochun said.

Han Li said nothing, simply using a basic Fireball Technique to cremate the corpses of the Heavenly Vault Fortress disciples, leaving not a single trace behind.

This was mainly to avoid becoming entangled in Karma; if other Heavenly Vault Fortress disciples found this place and discovered the bodies, and from them detected even the slightest clue, it would lead to endless trouble.

Although he was not afraid, he also disliked trouble that would delay his Immortal Cultivation.

"Junior Brother Li, thank you for stepping in."

Chen Qiaoqian looked at Han Li with a strange gaze, not knowing why she felt a sense of familiarity.

"We are fellow sect members; naturally, I would not stand by and watch you die," Han Li said.

He then noticed that Chen Qiaoqian's clothes were torn, revealing her snow-white skin, which made him, a newborn calf, feel a hint of a blush.

He patted his Storage Bag, took out a black robe, and handed it over, saying:

"Senior Sister, I don't have any other clothing on me."

"Thank you."

Chen Qiaoqian took the black robe and lowered her head slightly, revealing a touch of shyness.

Bai Xiaochun saw all of this and couldn't help but say sourly:

"Fairy sister, I also saved you; why don't you thank me?"

"Uh..."

Chen Qiaoqian was stunned, only then realizing Bai Xiaochun's presence.

Compared to Han Li's plainness, Bai Xiaochun was handsome and elegant, and with his glib tongue, he would never lack popularity with the opposite sex wherever he went.

Yet she had subconsciously ignored him, so she hurriedly said: "Many thanks to the little brother for your help. You look unfamiliar; I wonder which sect you belong to?"

"Haha, that is not important. Fairy sister, you are heavily injured; I have Pills here."

As he spoke, Bai Xiaochun took out the Pills he had refined himself, and after Chen Qiaoqian consumed them, she recovered quite a bit.

Han Li spoke slowly:

"Senior Sister Chen, the thousand-year Blood Spirit Mushroom is a rare medicinal herb. If you continue to stay here, it will be even more dangerous. Why not crush your Sect Jade Slip and leave early?"

The Sect Jade Slip is a life-saving measure for trials in Immortal Cultivation sects; once used, one is teleported outside the Forbidden Land, but one also loses the qualification to enter the Forbidden Land again.

People die for wealth, just as birds die for food. Some cultivators, for the sake of opportunity, would rather fall than use a Transmission Jade Slip.

The burly cultivator had just tried to kill her because he was worried Chen Qiaoqian would use the Transmission Jade Slip.

The Blood-Colored Forbidden Land only opens once every sixty years.

Leaving just like this, Chen Qiaoqian was naturally unwilling, but if she could not even protect her own life, then grabbing more opportunities would be in vain. After Han Li's persuasion, she decided to leave early.

"Junior Brother Li, what about you?" Chen Qiaoqian asked.

"I will try my luck a bit longer."

Han Li replied, while simultaneously taking out another Pill for Chen Qiaoqian.

"This is?" Chen Qiaoqian looked at the Pill in confusion.

Han Li explained: "This is a Jade Skin Pill. It only takes half a month, and it is specifically for repairing skin wounds on female cultivators without leaving scars."

Chen Qiaoqian blushed; was Junior Brother Li conveying some special meaning?

She was devoted to Immortal Cultivation and had no great interest in matters between men and women.

But if the other party was Junior Brother Li, then actually, it might not be impossible.

She slowly chewed and swallowed the Pill, took out the Jade Slip, crushed it, and said:

"Junior Brother, I will wait for you to come out."

"Hmm." Han Li nodded, his expression calm.

Whoosh!

A beam of white light teleported Chen Qiaoqian away.

"Brother Han, aren't you someone dedicated to Immortal Cultivation? Didn't you say women only affect your cultivation speed? Your methods for flirting are truly masterful; you actually gave her a Pill," Bai Xiaochun teased.

Han Li shook his head slightly and said:

"Xiaochun, one cannot judge things by their surface. That was indeed a Jade Skin Pill, but I also mixed in the formula for a Forget-Dust Pill. After Senior Sister Chen eats it, she will soon forget the fact that we saved her, and from now on, we shall be strangers."

"???" Bai Xiaochun.

"For the sake of my future Great Dao of cultivation, I naturally will not spend time on romantic entanglements.

Moreover, I am merely a passerby in Yellow Maple Valley and will not return after leaving the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land, so it is better not to meet than to meet; it is best to sever the red dust early," Han Li said earnestly.

Bai Xiaochun gave a thumbs up, completely convinced by Han Li.

He had directly given Senior Sister Chen a Forget-Dust Pill, cutting off all paths of retreat.

At the same time, Chen Qiaoqian, outside the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land, wore a look of confusion.

Apart from the black robe draped over her body, her memories of the Forbidden Land were very blurry; she seemed to have forgotten something very important and could not recall it.

"What has happened to me? How did I get out of the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land?"

Chen Qiaoqian muttered to herself, but unfortunately, she could not find a reasonable explanation no matter what.

She only remembered being hunted down until she reached a dead end. Then, and then?

Chat Group.

Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction: "As expected of you, Han Laomo, you really don't hesitate at all when taking action."

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Han Li, it's rare to meet a girl who is interested in you; is it really appropriate to feed her a Forget-Dust Pill directly?"

Demon Queen: "I'm defeated, you're destined to be single for ten thousand years!"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "A role model for us all, haha!"

Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "Tsk tsk, I admire you, I admire you?"

Bad Commander: "With such willpower, it would be unreasonable if Fellow Daoist Han did not rise to prominence."

Wudang Old Immortal: "Indeed! So young, yet acting so mature and decisive."

Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "Ahem, I just don't want trouble in the future; cultivating as an individual is actually quite good."

Ying Zheng of Great Qin: "Immortal Han is clearly someone who does great things; I admire you?"

My Name is Bai Xiaochun: "Indeed, I for one could never bring myself to feed a Forget-Dust Pill to a fairy sister."

Tragic Little Demon God: "It seems I have learned some incredible knowledge."

Autistic Child of Tian Yong City: "Don't learn everything; others are acting normally, but if you learn from them, it's somewhat perverted."

Tragic Little Demon God: "Brother Baili, if you say that to me, I will be sad."

Invincible Yuwentuo: "It seems I smell a special scent!"

Uchiha Dance King: "That is the youth that long ago faded away under the setting sun."

Demon King Who Never Suffers a Loss: "This is the power of bonds."

Autistic Child of Tian Yong City: "??"

Tragic Little Demon God: "Although it feels very perverted, I still like it."

Demon Queen: "Hahaha!"

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "As expected of you, the tragic male lead of a bitter romance script!"

Everyone had read the Script, so they naturally knew what kind of person the Little Demon God was.

Learning everything—calling it perverted was putting it lightly.

Na Du Tong Backbone Feng Baobao: "Terrifying!"

Zui Ai He Shounai: "If Bao'er Jie says it's terrifying, then it must be terrifying."

Douluo World, Spirit Beast Forest.

The young Tang Hao looked seriously at the cross-dressing Bibi Dong before him and said earnestly:

"Brother Hua, I want to duel you!"
