Chapter 204: The Stone Temple and the Underground Passageway

The place that Han Li intended to go to was located within some basin on the ring-shaped mountain, it was surrounded by large, strangely-shaped rocks that shielded it from the elements. Square in the middle of this basin was an ancient, huge azure stone temple. Although the stone temple was huge, the door to the temple was pitifully small, it could only allow two people to enter in side by side. This gave Han Li, who was standing on top of the rocks and gazing at it, an extremely strange feeling of discordance.

Han Li knitted his eyebrows and jumped off the rocks, then, he leisurely walked near the temple door, raising his head to look at this stone temple.

As he looked at it, the suspicion on his face became even more evident.

He didnt know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that on this stone temples surface, pale, azure light would occasionally flow, however, when he wanted to take a careful, close look at it, he was unable to see any difference. After doing this a few time, he began to quietly whisper to himself. Could people really have set some kind of magic technique here?

Han Li lowered his head, scanning the ground around him, he was unable to find any traces of people arriving before him, causing him to squint his eyes.

Theres definitely something odd! Although this basin is somewhat remote, with this huge temple here, theres no way that other people havent discovered it. Even more so, my own information was given to me by that guy Feng Yue, how could he not have arrived at this place before! In a moment, Han Lis heart had already run through numerous different ideas, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

But he was also somewhat unwilling to leave this place just like that.

Thus, he retreated a few steps, feeling around inside his storage pouch, a golden blade appeared in his hand, and he flung it into the air. It became a streak of golden light, fiercely striking a random azure stone on top of the temple door. With a Puchi, the azure stone flooded with azure light, safe and sound, while the golden blade flipped a few times in the air, having been reflected tens of meters away.

Han Li shook his head and turned around, about to leave this place.

The main goal is to avoid pointless dangers and walk out of the forbidden area alive, this stone temple is so strange, its best if I dont go in there, Han Li thought, his expression unchanging.

But Han Li had just taken two steps when the color of his face dramatically changed, his figure flashed, and he disappeared into the air. Then, Han Lis figure appeared again inside of the temple door, but it immediately disappeared again into the stone temple.

At this time, a huge flock of Masked Moon Sect disciples suddenly appeared on some of the rocks of the basin to the side, the leader was the seemingly young fairy woman, who was actually a Martial Ancestor of the Masked Moon Sect.

At this moment, the young woman gazed at the temple door where Han Li had disappeared with a trace of suspicion. She had felt that there was someone in this place, but now she saw that there was not a single person in sight. Could her instincts have been wrong?

The young woman stood still, unwilling to believe any falsehoods. She gently closed her eyes and released her tremendous divine sense all at once. In the end, other than their group of people, she did not sense that there were any other cultivators nearby the basin area. However, when her divine sense swept over the stone temple, it was repelled outside by some kind of strength, causing the young woman to be shocked. However, she immediately began to rejoice, a trace of laughter hanging on her face.

Upon first glance, she had already discovered that this stone temple had already had a restrictive technique cast on it by someone, this did not surprise her. Because the ten or so demonic beasts they had swept aside all had a restrictive technique cast on their secret acupuncture points, this could not amount to much! However, the restrictive technique here could not be penetrated even by her divine sense. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, the superficial restrictive techniques from before simply could not compare!

In a moment of excitement, the young fairy woman did not want to pursue the matter from before anymore. She trusted that even if there really were one or two disciples from other sects nearby peeping, they would definitely not be willing to create a disturbance with so many people from the Masked Moon Sect! Thus, she took the lead to walk towards the stone temple.

Han Li, at this time, was standing in the large lobby of the stone temple, so anxious that he was spinning around frantically in circles!

He had just been about to leave! Thus, he had first let out his divine sense to assess the situations in his surroundings and prepare to leave.

However, he had never expected that just as he had released his divine sense, he would immediately sensed a huge group of cultivators so close to him. He was so surprised that all of the blood in his body almost congealed, and so he flashed into the stone temple without thinking. Regardless of which of the other six sects these people outside were from, if they saw him here, one would not need to think too much to know what his fate would be.

In reality, if it werent for his energy expenditures being too high in these past two days, he completely could have used his extremely speedy movement techniques and unabashedly shake off these cultivators from his sleeve and leave. Unfortunately, based on his current condition, this kind of movement technique could not be used many more times, even if he wanted to run, he wouldnt be able to run very far.

Currently, he was safe, hiding inside the stone temple! However, he also had been blocked in by that group of cultivators, with no way of leaving anymore.

Actually, this stone temples construction was too simple! After entering the temple door and walking through a serpentine, winding hallway, an empty, large lobby appeared in front of his eyes. The entire hollow, large lobby actually did not have even a single place for him to hide. Upon looking at the attitude of the flock of people outside, they definitely came for this stone temple. Wishing for those people not to come inside was purely a vain attempt!

In actuality, to say that there definitely was no place for him to go was not entirely true.

In front of Han Lis eyes, in the center of the large lobby, was a black tunnel surrounded by jade railings. The tunnel entrance had a row of stairs, directly slanting into the ground from the entrance. It was also incessantly blowing out warm, humid air, it was truly difficult to imagine where this tunnel would lead one to.

However, Han Li could also guess without thinking that the place this tunnel led to would definitely not be a nice place, it would definitely be extremely ruthless, which was why he had been hesitant to enter. However, there truly were no other places for him to hide in this large temple! This caused the cold sweat on Han Lis forehead to gush out all at once with a shua.

And a this time, the sound of chaotic footsteps came floating over from the temple entrance, it seemed that group of cultivators had already entered the stone temple and would enter this lobby in the time it takes to roll ones eye.

Seeing this, Han Li seeing this, bitterly sighed in his heart, then, gritting his teeth, he lightly jumped over the railings and slipped into the tunnel.

After entering the tunnel, Han Lis surroundings were pitch black. He used his hand to reach into his storage pouch and retrieve the moonlight stone, and only then did his surroundings light up.

The entire tunnel could not be considered to be large. It was entirely built out of azure stone and could allow one person to barely pass through it. Han Li touched the stone wall in passing, it was somewhat damp and slippery.

He did not dare to tarry at all, fearful that the people behind him would catch up to him. Thus, he walked downwards carefully.

After following the stone steps underneath his feet one by one for a few hundred steps, the originally narrow tunnel slowly began to widen, and it could already fit two people side-by-side with no issues. However, the humid wind blowing from in front of him became increasingly hot, causing Han Li to sweat profusely, he had long been drenched with sweat from head to toe.

After walking down close to another hundred steps, Han Li estimated he was already roughly a hundred or more steps below the earths surface. The azure tunnel finally disappeared. When he walked out of the tunnels entrance, what appeared before his eyes was actually a strange swampy world.

This underground world was only three hundred meters or so high, but its circumference reached the length of a few kilometers, with a glance, sludge emitting black water bubbles was everywhere. That hot, humid wind was being generated in the air above the swamp, speedily flowing through the tunnel behind Han Li, then, it would bring back in more clean air from outside the tunnel, thus actually forming an equilibrium of flow rate.

All around the swamp were these tall, large mounds of black dirt, at the other end of the swamp grew a few tens of differently colored strange spiritual herbs. The few kinds of spiritual medicines that Han Li required were also in this group, and their quantities were truly not low either.

However, all of this was not as attractive of Han Lis attention as a small white jade pavilion in the middle of the swamp. This was because a golden, huge chest, roughly ten to twenty meters long and five meters wide, was floating in midair in the pavilion. Its lid was tightly shut, and its body had faint golden light flowing around it, one glance and one could tell it was definitely not a common object.

Han Li only glanced at it a few times before immediately shifting his gaze, this wasnt because Han Li was not moved by the treasures inside of this golden chest, but rather because a huge group of malicious people were about to arrive. It would be best to quickly find a hiding place, since this was the truly pressing matter! Otherwise, his small life would be lost, what use would the treasures be to him!

Han Lis figure swayed a bit, and he slipped over to a random dirt mound far away from the tunnel entrance, then, he restrained his Qi in one breath utilizing a full-strength concealing technique. Next, he lay on top of the dirt mound unmoving, after hiding his appearance, Han Li was already beginning to blend into one entity with the black dirt. Gazing at it from afar, one would not be able to easily discover his traces.

Han Li had not prepared all of this for too long before the young fairy womans figure appeared on the stairs at the tunnel entrance.

As soon as she appeared, she indifferently assessed the circumstances in this area, when she saw the huge golden chest in the white jade pavilion, her previously expressionless face finally began to be emotionally moved, and her eyes gradually revealed a fiery passion. Although she had heard disciples from her sect describing the golden chest here, she was much more astonished upon seeing it up close and in person.

The young woman walked down the steps, neatly standing in front of the swamp, the male and female disciples of the Masked Moon Sect following closely behind her all clambered and surged forth in an instant, forming a straight line behind the young woman.

In a place not too far away from where he had clearly seen all of this, he could not help but quietly grow apprehensive. At the same time, his curiosity was greatly aroused regarding that leading young womans identity.

Is this where the Black Scaly Python is hidden? The young womans voice delicately sounded out, yet it was filled with an unspeakable dignity.

Reporting to Martial Ancestor, that huge python is hidden inside of the swamp, it has previously swallowed ten or so disciples from various sects who had wanted to obtain the treasure chest. Its vicious reputation is widespread, and it has caused this place to become a forbidden area where disciples from the various sects no longer dare to come. However, this demonic beast truly is much stronger than regular top level demonic beasts, this one still hopes that Martial Ancestor takes special care! a young woman replied respectfully, lowering her head.

Heng! Did you think that I would be unable to even deal with a grade one demonic beast? The young womans delicate small face fell, and she adopted a ridiculous elderly air. However, this caused the expression of the white-clothed woman who had replied to drastically change, repeatedly saying I do not dare!

You can withdraw! Everyone, follow the original plan to act, no matter how powerful this Black Scaly Python is, it definitely isnt the Yin Yang Pulling Magics opponent! No matter how strong it is, it is still a grade one demonic beast! the young woman said with an unquestionable tone, lifting the spirits of all the disciples behind her.

Chapter 203: Worry-free Needle and Forgetful Dust Pill

Han Li began to bitterly laugh. Although he had gotten rid of the fellow from the Giant Sword Sect, he still had to deal with the largest problem at hand!

The green-clothed young womans slim and frail body, her deathly pale and thin face, and the panic in her eyes were all completely and distinctly reflected in his eyes the moment that Han Li slightly shifted his eyes and swept the scene. It seemed as if the shock she had received was truly not small.

He did not respond to the young womans inquiry, instead bending over and picking up the storage pouch on the big mans corpse. Then, he flicked the tip of his finger, and a small fireball hit the corpse, turning it into ash in a brief moment. Afterwards, he used the Azure Stasis Mirror to withdraw the azure light binding the silver sword and the gold blades together, then released the huge sword and the golden blades, storing them in his storage pouch.

It was only at this time that Han Li turned around and walked towards the young woman expressionlessly.

When the young woman saw that Han Li truly was getting closer to her, her already deathly pale face became even more pale without a trace of blood. She could not help but fearfully shrink back a few steps.

What do you want to do? If you come over, I wont be polite anymore! The green-clothed young woman finally mustered up her courage and reached her hand into her storage pouch, pulling out a small black sword and pointing it at the Han Li in front of her. However, Han Li had determined in a glance that this sword was only a trash mid-grade magic tool. It seemed like that yellow silk handkerchief was that womans only top-grade magic tool!

Is this how this young lady treats the great kindness of being saved? Han Li suddenly rubbed his nose and asked as he smiled.

The great kindness of being saved? The young woman stared blankly for a moment, somewhat confused by Han Lis drastic change in appearance from before to now. It seemed as if she had not yet recovered from it.

This young lady is really an eminent person with a short memory! If I hadnt made a move back then and saved this young woman from that persons sword, why would I want to make any kind of shady business like silencing you! Han Li said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Oh…… Im really sorry, I…… I was scared and I forgot! The young woman was suddenly enlightened and remembered this matter, so she hurriedly explained as her face flushed, stuttering in a bewildered manner. If one saw it, one would feel pity.

Its not much! However, it is somewhat inconceivable that we would actually meet here after having the pleasure of having met once at the Great South Valley! Han Li waved his hand and said cordially. He didnt know why, but whenever he saw this womans bashful appearance, Han Li felt incredibly intimate, as if he were with his own younger sister from his family.

My name is Han Li. What is this young lady called? Han Li opened his mouth and asked very carelessly.

I…… Im called Han Yunzhi, the young woman said after a brief moment of hesitation, her face scarlet. She felt incredibly bashful after voluntarily speaking her name in front of this young man.

, meaning lotus blossom, and Han Lis are different.)

Han Yunzhi? A very good name, it fits this young lady! Han Li lightly laughed, repeating the young womans name.

Really! The red color on Han Yunzhis face rose again.

However, why did young lady Han enter the Spirit Beast Mountain and come to attend the Trial by Blood and Fire? Han Li asked, somewhat curious.

This…… Han Yunzhis face displayed a moment of difficulty. She hesitated and chose not to say it.

Hehe! Since its somewhat difficult to answer, you dont need to tell me. I was only asking thoughtlessly! Han Li added in empathy, causing Han Yunzhi to feel very grateful.

Right, we had better enter the stone room and gather the spiritual medicines, lest a long night is fraught with dreams and other people arrive here! Han Li suddenly said after carelessly conversing with the young woman for a while.

Han Yunzhi nodded repeatedly when she heard this, but afterwards she said again, somewhat abashedly:

Big brother Han, could you let me have those few Fierce Sun Blossoms? I only want those flowers, I wont ask for anything else more!

Of course its not a problem, even if young lady Han had not said it, I was already planning on doing it this way! Han Li replied after hearing this, lightly laughing.

Many thanks, Big Brother Han! When the young woman heard this, she immediately expressed her thanks repeatedly, her face revealing a joyful expression. She felt even more grateful towards Han Li.

Since its like this, why doesnt young lady Han go gather the Fierce Sun Blossoms first! Dont let me accidentally take them away! Han Li recommended calmly, laughing once.

Okay then! Hearing this, the young woman felt that it was somewhat reasonable and lowered her head, paying her respects to Han Li. Then, she turned around to walk towards the stone room.

But when the young woman had just turned around, she suddenly heard Han Li sigh. Then, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head and her vision went black, falling unconscious onto the ground. However, when she was a few feet from the ground, she was stopped by being hugged from behind.

It turned out that Han Li had taken advantage of the moment the young woman had turned around to suddenly move himself behind Han Yunzhi and gently knock her out with one blow. He then used his two hands to hold her soft, jade-like body.

Han Li, holding up the young womans curves and smelling the beautiful and serene smell of the young womans body, was shaken in his state of mind! He couldnt help but to lower his head and kiss the young womans fragrant cheek. However, he immediately regained his senses and bit the tip of his tongue, immediately becoming much more sober. Looking at the young womans beautiful appearance, he began to bitterly laugh incessantly.

He first gently laid the young woman against a wall of the stone room, and then in a flash he entered the room. After a brief moment, when he had cleaned out all of the spiritual medicines inside of the room, he walked out again. He then picked up the young woman again, and his figure swayed a bit before disappearing in an outcrop of mountainous rocks to the side.

Inside a naturally-formed stone cave near the peak of the ring-shaped mountain, Han Li laid the young woman flat on the ground. Then, he sat cross-legged to the side, closed his eyes, and began to recover.

Han Li finally opened his eyes. A mysterious light flickered in them, and he displayed his incredibly fast movement technique. He finally was able to recover some energy. It was only now that he retrieved a palm-sized, delicate silver box from his storage pouch.

Han Li gazed at this silver box and seemed to be somewhat entranced.

After a while, he silently opened the lid to the box, revealing a neatly arranged row of silver needles inside! They were exactly the acupuncture items that he had often used before at the Seven Mysteries Sect.

Han Li lifted his hand and gently caressed the silver needles of all sizes. The figures of Doctor Mo, Li Feiyu, etc. couldnt help but be vivid in his mind, it was as if his life in God Hand Valley was something that transpired only yesterday. He couldnt help but sigh with much sorrow!

After a brief mental journey, Han Lis train of thought finally flew back to him. He settled his mind, and then used two fingers to deftly draw out a long and thin silver needle in a very practiced motion. The needle appeared between his fingers.

Then, Han Li looked at the young woman and then at the needle in his hand, a helpless expression appeared between his eyebrows.

Young Lady Han, if it wasnt for me being eased by this needle technique, which can eliminate a persons short-term memory, I really wouldnt know how I would deal with my secret being revealed! Although I believe that you would sincerely try to keep my secret for me, during this time too many accidents will occur. Perhaps you would unintentionally leak it out, or other people would use secret techniques to dig out this matter without you knowing. I have no choice but to protect against this! Han Li murmured to himself.

Immediately, he brought out a red porcelain bottle and poured out a strong-smelling fiery red medicinal pill from it. He then unhesitatingly stuffed it into the young womans mouth.

TL:

Luckily I also brought the Forgetful Dust Pill that I had carelessly concocted before with me, this way, I can fully display my Worry-free Needle Technique without having to worry about the future. Although it is still slightly dangerous, there shouldnt be any big problems anymore, you will only forget the things that have happened in this half day. I really didnt expect that the needle technique I had learned from Doctor Mos relics could actually be used today in the cultivating world, Han Li said with affection as he touched the young womans beautiful hair.

After a few hours, Han Li walked out of the cave, his face deathly pale. He hastily hid in a nearby large tree, and then attentively watched the circumstances at the tunnel entrance.

After a quarter of an hour, Han Yunzhi walked out with a vacant expression, holding a few Fierce Sun Blossoms in her hand. She peered around at the cave entrance a few times, a hand on her forehead, her eyes slowly revealed a strange expression.

Suddenly, it seemed as if she had thought of something important, she hurriedly placed the Fierce Sun Blossoms inside of her storage pouch, and she hurriedly left that area, shooting down the mountain.

Not long after she left, Han Li leaped down from the tree. After gazing at the direction the young woman had disappeared to, he let out a long sigh, then slowly headed towards a dense forest on the other side.

The third day in the forbidden area had finally ended, the fourth days arrival, to Han Li, went much less smoothly than the day before.

If it wasnt encountering and being chased by other strong demonic beasts, it was that his information had mistakes, the locations where spiritual medicines grew didnt actually contain the ones that Han Li needed. As for the demonic beasts guarding the spiritual medicines, their numbers also abruptly increased, in just half a day, Han Li had killed three medium level and two high level demonic beasts in immediate succession. Regardless of whether it was his magic power or his physical energy, Han Li was unable to endure the exertion!

Now, Han Li stood below a huge cliff, assessing his harvests. Although the quantities of the three spiritual medicines had not completely reached his expected goal, they were just barely enough. Even if he were to leave the forbidden area now, it was not something that he could not accept.

In addition, the information from the Yellow Maple Valley clearly indicated that there were no more locations were spiritual medicines were yet to ripen. The remaining locations were all from the information that he had exchanged with Zhong Yue, there were actually a few more! rewebnol.cm

However, previously Han Li was always afraid that the other persons intelligence was inaccurate, leading him on a wild goose chase and wasting his time. But when Han Li skimmed through this externally-obtained information again, he immediately discovered that there was another location not too far from his current position that concealed and grew many spiritual medicines.

That place not only had spiritual medicines that had yet to ripen, there was even supposed to be many ripe spiritual medicines. This caused Han Li to be somewhat tempted. According to his speculations, if the ripe spiritual medicines there hadnt already been taken by Zhong Yue, they still should have been taken first by other people. However, the yet-to-ripen spiritual medicines should still be there!

Since it was still early and he did not have a predetermined destination, it wouldnt be a bad thing for him to run there and take a look. Even if the information was incorrect, he would not have any losses!

Having reached this intention, Han Li could no longer sit still, after resting for a brief moment, he leaped up to depart.

Chapter 202 Silence.

Chapter 202: Silence

Just as Han Li ordered the seven children blades to intercept the silver sword, he soon immediately felt his opponents strength.

With only this single huge sword magic tool, the large man immediately and unwaveringly pushed down on all of the golden blades. The seven golden streaks formed a defensive golden net.Under the tyrannical collision against the huge silver sword, the golden blades were completely defeated and werent even able to suppress it in the slightest. Instead, the golden blades radiance rapidly grew dim from the silver sword streaks strike, a clear sign that the golden blades were breaking down. It seemed to be only a matter of time before they would be destroyed much like the young womans handkerchief.

However, Han Li had yet to experience the might of the silver sword and was surprised. In accordance to might, his Gold Beetle Swarm Blades were only common trash among top-grade magic tools. Being no match against the silver sword was within expectations and nothing to make a fuss over. As a result, Han Li pointed his finger, wanting two of the golden blades in the struggle to shoot toward the large man. He wanted to first test the opponents defensive methods. Besides, he wanted to see whether this was an opportunity he could exploit! After all, if someone were dead, there there would be no point in how strong someones magic tools were.

Two of the golden streaks Han Li was controlling were just about to turn, wanting to fly toward the mans legs. Unexpectedly, the opponents huge sword suddenly resonated with silver light, and with the sword hilt at the center, it rapidly whirled. In an instant it turned into a huge silver disk and released countless threads of attractive force from its center, causing the nearby golden blades to become incapable of moving in the slightest as if they were weighed down by a thousand kilograms. The two blades wanting to leave naturally werent able to luckily escape.

These scene caused Han Li to be stunned from alarm. As soon as he regained his senses, he hastily looked toward the large man. As expected, the opponent was using a strange magic technique. His hands were dancing with the wind as if he were gesturing some sort of circles.

Han Li didnt give it much thought and promptly patted his storage pouch. A flying blue dagger and a gold alms bowl flew out. The two items didnt stop at Han Lis side and shot straight toward the large man.

Although the hands of the barefoot man from the Giant Sword Sect were not idle, Han Lis actions were clear. He sneered for a moment. Then he suddenly changed the incantation gestures in his hands and held his bare hand against the flying dagger and alms bow, pointing at the two objects from a distance.

Han Li immediately felt the result. He lost his connection to the two magic tools that were originally in their control. Woosh. Woosh. The two magic tools actually flew over twenty meters away and were sucked in by the floating huge swords silver vortex.

Pu. Pu. Just as the two high-grade magic tools were about to enter the huge silver swords rapid vortex, they were unable to endure for that short moment and burst into fragments like fireworks. Those sparking magic tool fragments made an exceptionally beautiful meteor shower.

Han Lis mouth was currently dry. He completely did not expect the opponents cultivation and silver sword to be this great. Not only were his Golden Beetle Swarm Blades trapped, his two high-grade magic tools were disposed of, thoroughly destroyed without the slightest of effect. This truly caused him to become apprehensive.

Bang! The sound of the explosion greatly frightened Han Li. His complexion rapidly paled as he looked over to the source of the sound. As expected. the original seven of the golden swarm blades turned to six with a beautiful golden rain of sparks appearing from the center of the silver vortex. Under the large mans control, the silver vortex was actually starting to destroy and absorb the golden blades.

When it had only started to destroy high-grade magic tools, Han Li would only be apprehensive. But now that the golden blades started to disappear, Han Li truly felt some heartache. These were top-grade magic tools! Furthermore, because they were a complementary set, each loss would significantly reduce its power.

With his extreme heartache, Han Li no longer hesitated and flipped his right hand, taking out the small mirror from the girl with many treasures. Han Li hurriedly poured spiritual power into the mirror and then pointed it to the sky, immediately spouting out a brilliant azure mist from the mirror. The mist immediately returned the huge silver sword vortex to its original appearance. It trapped the silver sword and the remaining golden blades in the azure light, causing them to become completely motionless in midair.

The barefooted mans completely complacent expression immediately disappeared without a trace when he saw Han Lis small mirror. With a pale expression, he loudly cried out, The Azure Stasis Mirror! How did you acquire this item. Isnt that the life-saving magic tool of the Masked Moon Sects Shuang Jiao? Could it be that you killed her?

After the large man said this, he looked at Han Li with an incredulous gaze as if he had done some sort of treasonous action in defiance of the natural order. This caused Han Li to feel a moment of unrest!

From the opponents tone of voice, it seemed as if this top-grade magic tool was able to cause him a great amount of inconvenience. Han Li could not help but stop his hand for the time being, wanting to hear what the opponent had to say.

Whats the idea? I didnt kill her, I received it from the one who killed her, from the hands of that guy called Feng Yue. Could it be that theres something strange? Han Li wrinkled his brow, saying this with an unsightly expression.

Hehe, these words of your esteemed self, would the Martial Ancestor of Masking Moons Shuang Jiao believe them? Will a Core Formation Expert or a Masking Moon Sect Elder believe the mere trifling words of a Qi Condensation disciple? The large barefooted man said with a sneer, coldly laughing several times.

Han Lis heart suddenly sunk. He knew that if what he had said was true, then he would have no chance to explain himself! He hadnt the slightest evidence to exonerate himself and prevent himself from dying. Instead, he had that malicious womans magic tool in his possession. As it was, that Masked Moon Sect Elder would most likely not let a murderer like him get away.

This is far too troublesome! When he thought that a Core Formation expert would take note of his small life, not only did Han Lis mouth grow painfully bitter and dry, but he also felt gloomy to the point of wanting to spit out blood.

With this said, he was being treated extremely unjustly! Not only did he not kill her, but he also killed Feng Yue, which could be considered revenge on her behalf! But now the result was a Core Formation expert pursuing him while he had no method to prove himself innocent!

After all, how could a person who could kill a Qi Condensation disciple with her fingers like it was no different from squashing an ant ever possibly listen to him! His own elders of Yellow Maple Valley would mostly likely not act on behalf of a nobody such as him and offend an elder of the Masked Moon Sect!

The more Han Li thought, the more he felt that what his future held was anything but good. Could it be that after he left the forbidden area, he would have to travel far away and flee death by living with a concealed identity in another country? Han Li truly did not want to take that path!

The large man clearly saw Han Lis gloomy expression and could not help but laugh heartily, rejoicing in his misfortune.

As the barefooted mans laughs grew louder, Han Lis expression grew increasingly darker! A timid voice came from the side.

Lets all keep it a secret and not tell anyone else. Is that fine?

The young green clothed woman, who listened clearly form the side, interrupting with some hesitation.

Keep it a secret?

Han Li and the large man were startled, unable to keep their emotions in check. Then they looked at each other with a strange expression and suddenly shut their mouth, keeping silent.

The words that the young woman had wanted to say caused the two who were baffled to immediately swallow in fear. With opened pupils, their eyes could only spin around incessantly, they didnt dare to speak.

During the silence, Han LI suddenly put his hands behind his back and slowly paced back and forth nearby. Meanwhile, the large man was rigidly staring at Han Lis every movement with an extremely solemn appearance.

In this peacefulness that caused peoples heartbeat to slowly accelerate, after the time it took to make a cup of tea, the large man with a solemn expression opened his mouth and broke the silence.

I truly did not think of that. Us two were actually reminded by a young girl! It seems the phrase the actors were confused but the onlooker saw clearly is truly not false! Just now, your distinguished self intended to kill me in order to silence me!

Youre not wrong. If there was a second path, I definitely wouldnt have the heart to kill this brother! Brothers sword controlling technique could be said to be marvelous beyond compare! This one truly admires it! Han Li sighed, halting his steps nearby and helplessly saying as he faced the large man.

It seems that even with a death oath, your esteemed self will not be convinced! After a short moment, the large man said this overbearingly with an encompassing radiance shining from his eyes.

Youre not wrong. I only believe that dead men can keep secrets! Han Lis expression sunk as he replied with a bone-chilling tone.

Good, since this is the case, we dont need to speak rubbish. Only one of us will leave here alive! the barefooted man heroically said with raised eyebrows.

Only one of us will live? Thats wrong. It should be said that your esteemed selfs death is certain! After Han Li heard the large mans words, he strangely smiled and lightly said this as he shook his head.

Nonsense. Do you believe that because youve trapped my Silversheen Sword for the time being that your victory is certain!? I have many methods you have yet to experience! The large man grew furious as he heard Han Lis words, and he immediately yelled in response. In addition, he raised his arm, and silver light suddenly sparkled from his hand. A sword streak similar to the silver sword unexpectedly appeared in midair.

Your esteemed self did not yet take note of this. The distance between us is already within thirty meters! Han Li was looking at the large man with a peculiar expression and sighed. Soon after, his figure became indistinct and completely disappeared into the air.

So long as I am within thirty meters of someone and no defensive technique are used, that persons life or death is basically mine to decide! Han Lis voice became a hollow echo. Suddenly, he appeared pressed up behind the fear-stricken large man. He said the last word of his sentence as he appeared.

And now you are already dead! Han Li softly muttered this as he slowly withdrew the thread he had just waved.

The large man motionlessly looked forward with a lifeless expression. A thin red line suddenly appeared on his neck. His head was still for a moment before smoothly rolling off his neck, truly as dead as dead can be.

Han Li then turned his body and looked at the two-part corpse. A trace of pity flashed on his face. This large mans strength was no less than that of Feng Yue. However, he was careless and actually let Han Li approach to such a close distance. His death could not be regarded as unjust!

Do you also want to kill and silence me?

Han Li suddenly heard these feeble words, laced with suspicious vigilance and restless fear.

Chapter 201 Martial Idiot.

Chapter 201: Martial Idiot

When the barefoot man heard this, his heart filled with vigorous rage! This woman already had difficulty protecting her own life, yet she still continued to repeatedly raise her baseline!

Good! Good! Good!

Thus, he laughed, annoyed, and said three Goods..

Then today you can die here!

Having said this, he pointed the huge silver sword out, and the huge sword immediately shot out brilliantly, releasing an extremely dazzling sword tip. Next, a relentless pressure shot out ruthlessly towards the young womans forehead.

When the young woman saw this, she gritted her teeth and hurriedly commanded the silk handkerchief to become a yellow plate roughly the size of a wheel to directly block it.

With a rip, the this top-grade magic tool that had been completely spent had actually been cut into pieces by the full-force huge silver sword, floating everywhere in the air. The silver sword brilliantly flashed, and under the control of the big man, it unhesitatingly continued to stab at the bitterly smiling young woman.

With a clear dong sound, when the silver sword was ten meters away from the young womans forehead, it was blocked by a golden flying dagger that came shooting over from the side. Then, it danced in the air as a ball of golden light above the young woman, it would not allow the silver sword to drop even an inch.

Who is it? Get out here! The barefoot mans face fell, and he made a gesture, retrieving the silver sword. Then, his eyes swept like lightning towards the side and tenaciously stared at a huge mountain rock, unwilling to let it go. This was because he had seen very clearly that the gold blade had flown out from there.

Hehe! The weather today is pretty good! Why would everybody fight and kill each other? It would be much better if we all sat down and had a nice, pleasant conversation! A figure flashed out from behind the rock, and an average-appearing yellow-robed youth spun out. This person rubbed his head, then raised his head to look at the sky and spoke this with a laugh.

However, this youths face was filled with helplessness! It was precisely the Han Li who, seeing that the young womans life was in danger, had no choice but to make a move and saved the green-clothed young woman.

Han Li could only look at the sky and be speechless, he had actually made a move without thinking more about it upon seeing the young womans gloomy countenance! This was truly breaking one of his rules to always play it safe. He had gotten himself into a troublesome situation for no reason, truly, beautiful women brought disaster!

However, Han Li also knew that this mostly was because the impression that woman had left on him was truly too deep. He was also unable to watch this person of whom he had a very favorable impression die right in front of his eyes and act indifferent! It seemed like his heart could not actually be considered hard, he really wasnt a vicious, merciless, and ambitious character who wouldnt recognize his own family!

Han Li bitterly laughed and let his imagination run wild for a while.

However, he had already stirred up the trouble and could only strengthen his spirit and cope with it for a moment. Luckily, after experiencing the battles with the woman with many treasures and Feng Yue, Han Li had a bit more confidence in contending against these elite disciples. Thus, he was not panicking in his heart and had grabbed a few things in his hand much earlier.

Its you? The green-clothed young woman had now finally seen Han Lis face clearly and couldnt help but cover up her almond-shaped lips and cry out in surprise. She revealed an expression of disbelief.

Seeing that the young woman had only just recognized who her savior was and appeared to be quite dazed, Han Li couldnt help but be in a good mood and think it was funny!

However, on the surface he still only gently nodded at the young woman, then turned around and continued to say to the barefooted man, How does this brother look upon my suggestion? It would be better if your esteemed self would let this woman go, and then you can go on your Closed Sun Path while we can go our Lonely Wood Bridge. Everyone can mind their own business, and thus wouldnt the peace not be disturbed!

Han Li was still holding onto the thought that if he could avoid striking, he would avoid striking, and so he spoke the aforementioned words! In addition, starting a fiery battle with an expert for no reason could, perhaps, also force him to take measure to preserve his own life, it truly would not be a sensible decision!

But Han Li had never expected that the barefooted man in front of him would actually turn a blind eye to his words, instead staring with great interest at the Gold Beetle Swarm Mother Blade. It was as if to him, this golden blade interested him much more than Han Li himself.

This kind of action from the opponent caused Han Li to become somewhat quietly resentful! He strongly endured the annoyance in his heart and was thinking of saying something when suddenly the man opened his mouth. This opening of his mouth caused Han Li to stare blankly.

The golden blade in your hand should be part of the same set as the one floating in the air, right? Since it can block my silver swords attack without being damaged for a while, it should be a top-grade magic tool! Did I guess correctly? The Giant Sword Sects barefooted male casually opened his mouth and asked with a bright shine in his eyes. His vigor suddenly rose in an extremely shocking manner! freewebnvel.co

Han Li blinked a few times and was somewhat confused, he didnt know what the opponents intentions were! However, he still thoughtlessly spoke and replied, You are correct, they really are a top-grade magic tool. Furthermore……

Enough! Knowing this is enough. You can attack! If you can beat me, I will not only spare this womans life, but even the spiritual medicines inside of the stone room will all belong to you two! This person didnt even wait for Han Li to finish talking before immediately interrupting what he was going to say. His face was filled with fanaticism, and he spoke the words that caused Han Li to be dumbstruck.

This person was actually a Martial Idiot in the world of cultivators! At this time, Han Li suddenly realized this point, and he suddenly felt full of gloom, unable to speak even a sentence!

On guard!

The big man did not wait for Han Li to reply and actually did not even release a barrier, instead immediately controlling the silver sword and turning from the young womans direction towards Han Li, aggressively pouncing over.

After knowing how things stood with the opponent, Han Li understood that saying anything else would be wasting his time, thus, he immediately shook the mother blade in his hand, and the other seven blades flew out from his storage pouch. They became seven streaks of golden tips that flew forward to meet the opponents huge, silver sword without any sign of weakness.

However, Han Li did not actually pull out a defensive talisman to increase his own protective barrier.

This was because, after seeing the silver sword break through the young womans silk handkerchief, Han Li was very clear in his heart that this silver swords strength was truly too shocking. Under one stab from it, regular barriers would break instantly and the person would be killed, not even able to withstand one attack. Thus, it would be better to not add on defensive techniques, in this way he could rely on his movement techniques unpredictability to deal with the opponents strange attacks!

As Han Li was contemplating this, apart from the gold blade guarding near the young woman, the other seven blades had already become entangled with the huge silver sword. It was as if seven golden snakes and a huge python were incessantly rolling around and tearing into one another, both did not show any weaknesses!

Chapter 200: Young Women

The white-clothed young woman, although she appeared to be very pure, actually wore a solemn expression at this time, and her entire body was shrouded by an odd silver sheen. This caused her to appear even more mysterious!

What surprised people the most was that the white-clothed males and females following her all appeared to be apprehensive. There werent even any low whispers, and their expressions as they gazed at the young womans back were that of reverence!

The crafty and unruly woman who had appeared in the desert along with her cultivating companion were in their midst. However, no trace of the arrogant expression on her face could be found, she did not dare to even breathe heavily, just like the other people around her. She appeared to be especially lovable and well behaved!

Suddenly, the youthful celestial woman at the lead stopped her steps, and the entire procession behind her naturally stopped as well.

A wide opening was not far in front of them, and a deep, green pool appeared, within the center of the pool were a few reef rocks protruding from the surface of the water. On these rocks grew roughly ten Lingzhi mushrooms, which shone like jade and were especially conspicuous.

Is it here? The youthful celestial woman crisply asked without even turning her head as she gazed at the pool with a great deal of interest. Her voice appeared to be particularly delicate.

Yes! Martial Ancestor, the top level Jade Crocodile demonic beast is hiding within the pool. The past few times we came to harvest ingredients in the forbidden area, a disciple from our sect was buried within the belly of this beast. However, another person was able to escape and survive! An older woman flashed out of the flock of Masked Moon Sect female disciples and responded while bowing very respectfully to the youthful celestial woman.

Martial Ancestor? If any of the disciples from the other six sects heard this, perhaps they would be so shocked their jaws would dislocate!

According to the rules of the cultivating world that determined seniority by strength, this young, fairy-like woman could only be addressed in this way if she were one of the Masked Moon Sects Core Formation cultivators! And werent Foundation Establishment cultivators and above not allowed to enter the forbidden area this time! What was going on? Looking at the appearances of the other Masked Moon Sects disciples, who were not amazed by this at all, it seemed like they had known this secret much earlier!

Okay! Got it, you can withdraw!

At this time, the youthful celestial woman pompously gave this instruction, her face revealed a capable expression that did not match with her age.

Then, she spoke again to the people behind her, Prepare yourselves! In a moment, I will lure the Jade Crocodile out of the water surface, and you will use the Yin Yang Pulling Magic combined assault secret technique that you have recently learned, attacking together in pairs. Surely, relying on the killing strength that can defeat Foundation Establishment disciples in one blow, this hunt is definitely not a problem. Then, we can go to the next top level demonic beasts hideout and continue to clean out these spiritual medicines that others had previously not dared to harvest!

The young woman was not loud, but her words indicated her full self-confidence. When the male and female disciples heard this, no one revealed any doubtful expressions, instead all answering in agreement.

This youthful celestial woman then turned around and open her purple red lips. A thumb-sized pink ring slowly spurted out from her mouth. Next, a wind rose, in the turn of an eye, the ring became roughly the size of a forehead and began to emit a low droning cry. It was dazzlingly brilliant and extremely unnatural!

Based on this rings manner of appearing, the light it radiated, and its enormous amount of spiritual power, one could determine that it was absolutely a genuine magic treasure.

Could this young woman truly be a Core Establishment cultivator?

In no time, an extremely loud noise first came out from within this hundred meter deep secret cave. Immediately afterwards, numerous low howls, like those of a water buffalo, also came out, those howls were filled with wrath, but presently repeated rumblings of thunder also began to sound out, temporarily strengthening the howls before they immediately weakened. Then, various kinds of loud noises and crackles incessantly came out, finally completely drowning out the howls, which never sounded out again.

After numerous hours, the youthful celestial woman led the Masked Moon Sects male and female disciples out from some hidden passageway. The male and female disciples behind her were each incredibly excited, displaying a face of youthfulness.

This was not surprising, opportunities to slaughter a grade one top level demonic beasts were not often available to these Qi Condensation novices. Today, they had not actually expended much energy to kill that extremely mean and ferocious Jade Crocodile, how could they not be excited?

Of course, if it werent for the youthful celestial woman using her magic treasure, the ring, to block more than half of the demonic beasts attack, they could not have perfectly ended this conflict without any casualties, so their gazes at the young womans back were even more respectful!

The young womans gaze towards the male and female disciples behind her had no trace of care, and she continued to indifferently walk in the front. It was as if killing a first tier top level demonic beast was not something that could faze her at all!

After a short amount of time, the flock of Masked Moon Sect disciples disappeared into the nearby dense forest without a trace.

……

In other places just like that, scenes of disciples from various sects killing the demonic beasts to obtain the spiritual medicines continued to play out. Occasionally, conflicts would also occur over these spiritual medicines. Strangely, however, people being killed in these conflicts were actually very few in number. Usually, as long as people who understood they were no match for the opponent retreated, the person with the upper hand would also not use excessive force, instead, they would hurriedly harvest these spiritual medicines and leave quickly for the next location.

With regards to this kind of situation, most people were very clear in their hearts! This was mostly because everyones remaining time was not much, and opportunities for these bloody battles were better spent going to other locations and seeing if there were any profits. The real time for everyone to kill each other and steal the opponents spiritual medicines was on the last day, when everyone was returning from their rewarding journey. On that day, there would definitely be blood, and wouldnt be like the previous two days, where one could lightly allow their opponents to escape!

Han Li also knew a little about these things, so he had taken opportunity of these two days where the disciples from various sects were still willing to mutually restrain themselves to furiously hurry from one location to the next. Anytime a medium level and above demonic beast appeared in his path, he would immediately use a movement technique to evade around it, unwilling to be hindered by them for even a fraction of a second!

One did not know whether Han Li had some stroke of good luck, apart from the first cave he wanted to harvest medicine from, where he had encountered that poisonous bug demonic beast, the huge centipede, no guardian demonic beasts appeared in any of the next four locations. Thus, he easily harvested the spiritual medicines without expending even a tiny amount of excess energy, causing Han Li to be wild with joy! If the following events were to proceed as smoothly as before, harvesting enough spiritual medicines was not a problem at all!

At this time, the third day in the forbidden area was almost over!

Han Li was currently leaping from treetop to treetop at lightning speed without stopping, along the way, he had encountered two low level ape demonic beasts, who disintegrated with a couple waves of his hand, having been completely broken apart. reeebnovel.om

Now, Han Li was rushing towards his last destination of the day, a small stone temple near the peak of the mountain. Reportedly, there was more than one type of spiritual medicine and strange herbs growing in that location, the Sky Spirit Fruit that he needed the most was also in there.

However, although the time for the Sky Spirit Fruit to ripen had yet to come, the few other kinds were all ripe for the picking! Thus, Han Li guessed that there would definitely be demonic beasts guarding them, and there was also a possibility that disciples from other sects could have gotten there earlier.

However, Han Li did not care, he even looked forward to someone getting there before he did, that way, they could help him clean up his path, saving him from having to waste a few extra movements. In any case, this person would definitely not be interested in spiritual medicines that were not yet ripe!

Right as Han Li was thinking all of these positive thoughts, the stone temples shadow could finally be seen off in the distance. It indeed could not be considered big!

But before Han Li could get close to that place, the sound of a fierce battle had already drifted over.

Han Lis heart became happy, it seemed as if there truly was someone who would help him open up his path. Thus, his figure immediately contorted, and after a few flashes, he silently drew closer to the stone temple.

In the empty space in front of the stone temple, there actually was not the scene of a wild male fighting a demonic beast that Han Li had expected to see in his heart. Instead, it was a black-clothed, barefoot, and square-faced man controlling a huge silver sword that was pressuring a slender, green-clothed woman to the point that she could not breathe easily.

This womans only defensive method was a silk handkerchief that shone with a yellow light, however, its surface was cloudy and pale. She had been completely suppressed by the silver sword to a disadvantage, and could only bitterly endure.

Off to the side, the corpse of a huge red wolf and a white young eagle lay, having been split into two. The fresh blood that flowed from their bodies covered the ground, and the piercing smell of gore filled the area. It seemed as if they had died not too long ago.

Seeing all of this, Han Lis jaw couldnt help but silently drop wide open, it wasnt because those twos battle had shocked him, but rather because that green-clothed young woman was actually the easily embarrassed young woman who had sold him that Golden Sincerity Brush. This caused Han Li to be completely astonished!

This was because Han Li had already discovered that the young womans cultivation base was extremely shallow when the disciples from the various sects had gathered together outside of the forbidden area, it was merely at the tenth layer. Thus, he expected that this woman, after entering the forbidden area, had either already passed away long ago, or she should have been quietly hiding in some location!

But today, he had seen her use a top-grade magic tool to fight to the death with a not to be trifled with disciple from the Giant Sword Sect in the central area of the ring-shaped mountain. How could this not cause Han Li to feel incredibly shocked!

Little girl! Its not too late to quit and leave. You should know that I was always being lenient with you. But I trust that someone who doesnt want to kill a female doesnt necessarily mean they wont kill a female! If you continue to nag me, you and that white eagle will share the same end! the barefoot man said filled with killing intent, his expression was chilly, and he was somewhat annoyed at this point.

One should know that he had been annoyed by this young woman from Spirit Beast Mountain who had appeared from Heavens knows where for more than half an hour. His last shred of patience had long since been depleted. If the opponent continued to be unable to tell good from bad, he might actually kill a delicate flower!

The young womans face was deathly pale. However, after gritting her teeth, she said extremely stubbornly, If you arent willing to let me have the few Fierce Yang Blossoms inside, I wont leave even if I die!

Chapter 199: Brother and Sister Chen

Is Master Li somewhat confused as to why this Daoist Priest let that person leave? The middle-aged Daoist Priest was silent for a moment, then suddenly opened his mouth and spoke.

Hehe! I am a little bit. This little boys magic tools were pretty good, even I was somewhat tempted when I saw them! The elder actually spoke very frankly, not attempting to conceal his thoughts.

Then Master should get rid of this idea as quickly as possible, this person cannot be killed! the Daoist Priest said with a certain amount of caution and knitted his eyebrows.

When the azure-robed elder heard this, an expression of doubt briefly flitted across his face, but he did not yet open his mouth to ask anything. He knew that since the conversation had already progressed to this point, based on the other persons personality, a clear explanation would definitely be provided soon after.

As expected, the Daoist Priest stiffly continued, This person has strong connections to Heavenly Imperial Fortresss Ma Yunlong, its best to avoid rashly provoking him!

When the elder heard this, he was moved and couldnt help but say with surprise, Do you mean that Ma Yunlong from the Heavenly Imperial Fortress who a century ago was the person who had the most hope of entering the Core Formation stage?

The Daoist Priest bitterly laughed and sighed, If it wasnt that person, who else would it be? I have seen this person a few times. The Dustfall Pearl in that youths hand was that persons famous magic tool, theres no way I could be wrong! Thus, this youth must be strongly related to Ma Yunlong. Its best if we dont touch this youth!

Yes, thanks for this Daoist friends reminder! Otherwise, I would really have made a big mistake! Sigh, we had better harvest these spiritual medicines as early as possible. We dont want any other unexpected guests! The elder immediately suggested, finally having recovered to his normal state from his earlier shock.

The Daoist priest naturally cheerfully agreed, then, the two people cut off a Purple Monkey Flower, one from each side, and then immediately parted ways.

Similar scenes were playing out in the few other locations, however, their conflicts far less peaceful, instead creating incredibly intense sparks as they clashed.

To the side of a certain stone room on a mountain ridge on the ring-shaped mountain, four people from two different sects were battling while controlling many kinds of magic tools.

Among these were a male and female, both wearing yellow attire, they were Yellow Maple Valleys disciples.

The male of about forty years had a scholarly appearance. He held a silver, shining, huge pen and a golden, brilliant book in the middle of his hand. With a wave of his hand, the silver marks and the sky full of golden light attacked the two opponents until their sweat stuck to their back and their faces had turned green.

Although the pretty, young woman also controlled a blue and yellow pair of flying swords, supporting off to the side, any discerning person could tell just from a glance that her strength was vastly weaker even when compared to that of the two opponents, not to mention when compared with her own partner! She was basically useless. Instead, her extremely powerful partner had to save her a couple of times!

Their opponents, however, were not two people from the same sect.

One of them wore a green mask of light and controlled a flying snake about as wide as a bowl and a swarm of huge wasps. The ugly male ferociously defending himself from the Yellow Maple Valley males large-scale attack of gold light was actually Zhong Yue from Spirit Beast Mountain, who had exchanged information with Han Li.

The other person was a pretty and gentle male youth completely clothed in azure, most likely, he was a Saber Transformation Dock disciple.

The two red flying daggers fluttering in front of him shot light out in all direction, just from one glance one would know that they were not common magic tools. These magic tools, which were originally attack-type flying daggers, now became two curtains of light about as large as a wagon wheel in front of him, straining to block the silver marks like a sky full of stars against a sparkling silver talisman.

Stay your hand, stop fighting, the two of us surrender! The one surnamed Chen, consider yourself vicious, the spiritual grasses within the stone room belong to you! The Saber Transformation Dock youth could no longer endure, and he finally opened his mouth to give in.

When the ugly Zhong Yue to the side heard this, apart from having a slight expression of unwillingness, it did not actually prevent him from speaking. It could have been considered to be a taciturn understanding of the male youths words. He returned the flying snake and swarm of wasps back to his side.

Heng! How could we let you off so lightly and allow you to surrender as you wish! the weakest female from Yellow Maple Valley said somewhat unwillingly as she lifted up the long hair on her forehead. Earlier, she had been directly ignored, so she had to suppress a stomach full of restlessness, thus, her tone became very malicious.

What are you thinking? Do still want to kill me? Im afraid you may not have the skill to! When the Saber Transformation Dock male heard this, he began to screech in aggravation, like he was a girl who had just received a great fright. Thus, the other three people couldnt help but get goosebumps.

Of course we wont! My seventh little sister was only speaking out of anger! You two only need to worry about leaving. I will definitely not get in your way! The middle-aged Yellow Maple Valley male said, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled. He immediately glared at the female to prevent her from further speaking ill words and then spoke to Zhong Yue and the others with a peaceful expression.

Hehe! Brother Chen really is worthy of being called the Chen Clans prince, your bearing is much different than those of certain girls. Then we will take our leave! The Saber Transformation Dock youth suddenly became peaceful again, and his voice had returned to that of a normal male, in an instant seeming like he was a graceful, handsome prince. The great contrast would cause people to be very flabbergasted!

After saying this, the youth and Zhong Yue glanced again at that stone room, unwilling to part with it, then left that place with some heartache, disappearing without a trace behind the rocks of the mountain.

Big Brother, why didnt you kill those two people? All we needed was to exert some more effort, and we could have immediately wiped them out! After watching the two of them leave, the pretty female was finally unable to resist turning her head and asking the middle-aged male this.

Seventh Little Sister, Ive discovered that ever since that incident, you have become somewhat extreme! You want to take other peoples lives so easily, but do you know who these two people are? They both come from incredibly well-known and large families, although they are still very far from our Yan, Chen, and other great clans, one cannot easily look down on them. Its best if we dont rashly start a feud!

In addition, even if we really wanted to kill them, we would more than likely not succeed! You should know that although it seemed as if the power of the golden book and silver pen had pushed those two to an imminent crisis, in reality it was under the premise that they had no intention of running away. If we were really to try to kill them, they arent idiots, they would obviously immediately flee. By that time, I would not be able to do anything to them even if my golden book and silver pen were stronger! I would only be suddenly inciting revenge upon my household!

The Yellow Maple Valley middle-aged male first used a pampering tone to lightly rebuke the young woman, then explained in great detail the reason why he was unwilling to kill them. This caused that female to suddenly be enlightened!

Oh, right, Seventh Sister! That brat from the Lu Clan, after plotting against you, has never revealed himself anywhere else, it seems as if he really was killed by the person who saved you. If its really so, he can consider himself lucky. Otherwise, I would definitely make him feel as if death is better than living to let him know the fear of daring to scheme against our Chen Clan. The person who saved you, however, is worth thinking over! I spent a lot of energy to investigate the disciples from our sect who had been missing for a few days, but in the end I didnt actually discover anybody who could pose a threat to that brat from the Lu Clan. You must know that although that bastards magic power is not worth mentioning, his Azure Flood Dragon Banner is really a pretty good top-grade magic weapon! Since they were able to save you from his grasp, that person must not be too weak, could he be an outsider cultivator who just happened to pass by? The females big brother suddenly switched to a tender and caring tone as he spoke to his Seventh Sister.

It turned out that this Seventh Little Sister was actually the Junior Martial Sister Chen who had become as cold as ice and frost, however, in front of this person who was her older brother, she had evidently recovered a bit of her inherent nature. Thus, when she heard his words, her face immediately blushed and she threw a tantrum, Bah! Why would you bring up that guy? He saved me, so what! I was left all alone in that desolate area, but he actually took my Foundation Establishment Pill and luckily escaped! Most likely, he is also not some good person!

Junior Martial Sister Chens tone was filled with injustice and hatred!

In reality, what caused her to be so ashamed and indignant was not that, but rather it was because as soon as she thought of this person, she would recall that embarrassing night where her head was not clear and her entire body had felt hot and naked.

And those two beasts had willfully caressed her entire body from head to toe with their callous hands as well as the thick male smell from the other persons body were even more engraved in her memory.

However, because she was more than a little humiliated and angry, Junior Martial Sister Chen tried her hardest not to think about that incident, instead suppressing them within the deepest corners of her heart. Today, hearing her own big brother bringing it up, she couldnt help but develop a headache, causing her face to alternate between red and white as she sank into contemplation.

When Junior Martial Sister Chen absentmindedly regained consciousness, she discovered her own big brother staring at her with deep meaning, seemingly smiling without smiling. It was as if all of her secrets had been completely seen through by him! This caused her blushing to become even more apparent!

Junior Martial Sister Chen, feeling incredibly bashful, simply stomped her tiny foot and said, Im going to go harvest the medicine!

Watching the back of his most beloved younger sister, the middle-aged man couldnt help but smile lightly. He had already had a scheme in mind!

Then, he followed and walked after her.

……

In a certain dense forest, a green-clothed young woman was furiously biting her lips, controlling a small, white statue. She was currently embroiled in a difficult battle with a two-headed strange snake. It seemed as if for a period of time they were neck and neck, behind the strange snake was a completely fire-red tree. On its branches grew a number of fist-sized red fruits.

……

A line of white-clothed males and females silently walked within a long and narrow underground tunnel, it seemed as if their ranks numbered roughly fifteen or sixteen people. All of the surviving Masked Moon Sect disciples in the forbidden area were actually all here, and the one at the very front was the fairy-like young woman who had earlier seen Han Li from afar!

Chapter 198: Conflict

With a Bang!, the two high-grade magic tools merely made two small open cracks in the antennas before being crisply being bounced aside, causing Han Li to be temporarily stunned.

So hard! They could almost compare to the quality of a mid-grade magic tool! Han Li secretly cried out that he was lucky, if it wasnt for him using some small tactics, dealing with this huge centipede would really waste a lot of time.

Han Li, seeing that the flying dagger and the golden alms bowl werent very effective, easily retrieved them.

Although this bug had already received a mortal wound, its vitality was too vigorous, and it continued to incessantly roll around. It seemed like it would not die in a short amount of time. Thus, he knitted his eyebrows and displayed his movement technique, with a burst of speed, he flashed over the demonic beasts head and showed no interest in whether the beast lived or died. Directly following the tunnel passageway, he returned to the stone room.

Within the stone room, the few Purple Monkey Flower seedlings were still waiting there safe and sound, causing Han Lis heart to be filled with joy!

He took out a jade box about as large as a bundle of branches from his storage pouch and placed it on the ground before using his flying dagger to carefully cut out the entire small purple rock along with the Purple Monkey Flower. Then, he levelled the flying dagger and used it to carry the rock back to his hand. It was placed inside of the jade box and sealed off carefully.

When all of the spiritual medicines had been completely individually harvested by Han Li, it wasnt until they were all stored that he took a long, relaxed breath. His state of mind had greatly calmed down.

He stretched lazily, then carelessly swept over the stone room again to confirm that he hadnt overlooked anything in this place before calmly walking out.

When Han Li walked past the place where the giant centipede had received heavy damage, that demonic beast was already lying still on the ground. It was completely dead, and the huge pool of black, poisonous blood from its body caused this section of the cave to be pervaded by a strange smell that made people want to throw up. When Han Li smelled it, he felt somewhat dizzy and lightheaded.

Han Li startled, knowing that this was the effect of the poisonous nature of the blood diffusing into the air, so he quickly consumed some Pure Spirit Powder, causing the uncomfortable feeling to abate.

He walked about twenty meters away from the corpse of the centipede and stopped. Then, he let out his flying dagger and wildly stabbed it seven or eight times, seeing that it really had not moved at all, he finally relaxed and continued on his way.

But having just walked a few steps, Han Lis figure bent at the waist and stooped down to pull out a short black knife. He used two fingers to gently wipe off the black mud around the knifes edge, and the short knife immediately shone with golden light. In fact, it was one of the children blades of the Gold Beetle Swarm Blades.

It turned out that the reason Han Li was able to so easily cut into the demonic beasts abdomen was because in the moment he had disappeared, he had stuck the eight children blades of the Gold Beetle Swarm Blades blade-side-up into the ground of the cave in one breath. He lined them up along the tunnel and left the front half of the incomparably sharp blades on the floor.

Because he was worried the golden blades would be too bright and would be discovered beforehand by the demonic beast, Han Li used some black silt to smother the blades edge and turn it black, causing it to become the same color as the pitch-black cave. This way, it would be difficult for the demonic beast to discover it.

Thus, after chasing Han Li to this section of the cave, its abdomen had been secretly sliced open by these golden blades stuck into the ground upside down as the huge centipede was so close to the ground and met its fate of being buried there. The poor poisonous bug, known as a high-level demonic beast, had yet to put to use its arsenal of extremely potent poisonous techniques, but just like that it had been carelessly and utterly plotted against by Han Li. This was truly an unjust way to die!

Although Han Li had yet to know the centipede that he had killed was a high grade demonic beast, he knew that even if this poisonous bug hadnt been one, it definitely wouldve been at least one of the medium grade demonic beasts. Thus, he was extremely satisfied in his heart that he had been able to deal with this poisonous bug so easily!

Now, he took seven or eight steps in a row and bent over after every step. Finally, he had cleaned all of the golden blades and retrieved them. Then, he immediately raised his feet to leave the area when he inadvertently glanced at the corpse and hesitated for a moment before walking towards it.

As soon as he walked in front of the huge centipedes corpse, Han Li impolitely used the gold blade in his hand and cut towards the head, back, and tail sections, piercing them once. In the end he discovered that its back was the section that had the hardest shell, the gold blades thrust could only penetrate half an inch deep. Only by continuing to apply force downwards could it slowly cut in.

Seeing this, Han Li no longer hesitated! He immediately released all of the recently retrieved eight Gold Beetle Swarm blades and expended a great deal of effort to cut off the shell of the centipedes back portion.

In no time, a few chunks of hard shell a few feet wide had been cut straight off and were carefully placed into his storage pouch. These were more than enough to block one attack from a top-quality magic tool and were good items that were hard to obtain. If they were to be made into a makeshift inner armor, it would definitely be very useful to him.

In reality, according to Han Lis original intention, he was itching to cut off all of the centipedes shell and bring it away. But if he were to do this, it would waste too much time, and to the current Han Li, time was the most sorely lacking!

Thus, Han Li could only leave the cave with a little regret, and he immediately shot towards the next already predetermined harvesting location. There similarly should be a few Spirit Sky Fruits that had yet to ripen in that location.

Meanwhile, as Han Li was continuously following his plan, collecting various kinds of spiritual medicines that were yet to ripen, explosive conflicts had erupted between elite disciples in a few locations where everybody knew there were ripe spiritual medicines to harvest! In addition, there were only these few locations where people precisely knew the spiritual medicines had ripened. The huge conflict between the experts from various sects was inevitable!

Within a quiet valley southwest of Han Li, three people who were currently caught in a deadlock, each of them unwilling to back down over two Purple Monkey Flowers, a plant that Han Li had just obtained.

Only, these two Purple Monkey Flowers were not a pale-azure color, but rather a glamorous purple, and they released a thick smell of rare perfume. In addition, in front of these two strange purple flowers was a strange deer growing fire-red antlers from its head. Its body had been split into two and lay in a pool of blood, evidently, it died a long time ago.

Not far from the corpse of the strange beast, there were three people standing in a triangle, each with different robes. However, none of them made a move, as if they were very afraid of the other two.

What exactly are the intentions of you two? This Flaming Antler Deer was killed by me, so the spiritual medicines should also belong to me! Finally, one person opened his mouth with an expression full of rage.

The speaker was a roughly twenty-year-old youth wearing a blue robe. His appearance was very handsome, and his figure was slender. One of his hands held an azure-colored flying cross, and the other held a yellow pearl. The two objects dazzled with spiritual light, with one glance, one could tell that they were exceptional magic tools. No wonder that person was able to kill that seemingly abnormal high-level demonic beasts on his own.

Daoist brother, I didnt expect that we would meet again today, we both truly have a predestined fate! This time, the one who spoke was an ordinary elderly man wearing an azure robe and leaning on a walking stick. He seemingly appeared to be quite amiable, but he in fact did not even acknowledge the youths inquiry, instead beginning to converse with the other middle-aged Daoist Priest.

Yes, I also had not thought that I would run into Master Li again today! said the Daoist Priest with a calm expression. He carried a plain and long sword in its sheath and similarly did not even glance at the youth.

The youth from the Heavenly Imperial Fortress flew into a rage, his own talent was not normal, his family background was highly regarded, and his figure was elegant and handsome. He had always been other peoples focus no matter where he went, but now he was being humiliated in this way by these two fellows. How could he not become infuriated!

But before he was even able to open his mouth to say something else, the following sentences from the elder and the Daoist Priest immediately caused the color of his face to greatly change, and he began to panic.

Lets not bring up the past. Today, this place has two spiritual medicines, it so happens that you and I can split them evenly. How about if each person gets one? The elder did not speak any superfluous words and invited the Clear Void Sect Daoist Priest to an alliance in order to split the spiritual medicines.

When the middle-aged Daoist heard this, he did not appear to be surprised, instead, after a brief pause, he nodded his head and complied:

We might as well. Our strength is roughly even, even if were to battle each other, two hundred injuries would be the result. Lets do it this way. I have no objections!

The youth had clearly heard the conversation of the two people in front of him, he was both frightened and angered in his heart!

Although he knew his magic tools were extremely powerful, he instinctively felt that he would not be their opponent once they joined hands. However, if he were to just give up the spiritual medicines that he was just about to obtain like that, no matter what he said he was still unwilling!

After a few hurried spins in his brain, the youth suddenly quickly flashed backwards and shot directly towards the two spiritual medicines. He wanted to grab the spiritual medicines and immediately escape far away.

Youre courting death!

The youth had just begun to move when the azure-robed elders face fell, and threw the walking stick in his hand. It became an azure streak of light that shot towards the youth. The speed of this walking stick, which had become azure light, was simply too quick, it had only flashed a couple of times before arriving in front of the youth, barring his path.

The youth was very stunned, what was this magic tool, and why was it so fast? However, since things had already progressed to this point, he didnt give it much thought. He lifted his hand and the his azure flying pitchfork went forward to meet the walking stick, however, his figure showed no sign of stopping and he continued to shoot forward. It seemed that he would not give up before he had grabbed the spiritual medicine!

Little friend, it is already too late! It would be better for you to leave as quickly as possible. Dont force this Daoist Priest to go on a killing spree today! The youth had not taken two steps before a calm and cold voice came from behind him, as if it was directly pressed up behind him, scaring the youth so badly that his soul flew outside of the sky!

The youths face became deathly pale and he turned his head around. Sure enough, that Daoist Priest was only three meters away from him. He was currently looking and laughing at him!

The deathly pale youth did not continue to speak, he immediately turned around and shot outside the valley, not daring to even turn his head around for a glance. He knew in his heart that there was a wide gap between his strength and the strength of these other two people. Continuing to fight for the spiritual medicines was asking to die, the opponents willingness to let him escape was already hard to believe!

Hehe! Daoist brothers Spiritual Fox Steps have become much more powerful than before. It truly has reached perfection! The elder, seeing that the Daoist Priest had let the youth escape, felt that it was extremely strange, however, he had not made a move to block him, but rather began to compliment the other person.

Its nothing, its only a minor accomplishment! The Daoist Priest said leisurely as he glanced indifferently at the disappearing back of the youth.

Chapter 197 Demonic Beast Giant Centipede.

Chapter 197: Demonic Beast Giant Centipede

Ive arrived. Which cave is this? After four hours, Han Li stood on a black rock about half a person high. He was sizing up a cave opening that was several meters tall.

It seems to be nothing out of the ordinary! Han Li didnt rashly enter but instead carefully observed the surroundings for a while. Although it could be said he was running short on time, he would never carelessly put himself into danger!

The secret cave mentioned in the information would appear quite unremarkable from the outside. As Han Li was traveling, he saw many similar simple caves in the wild that lacked even the slightest remarkable trait. He also didnt know how the original founders were able to discover this cave. This caused Han Li to admire them even more!

After the time it took to make a cup of tea, Han Li was convinced that there werent any demonic beasts or anybody laying in ambush nearby and carefully walked toward the cave.

The cave was completely natural and consisted of a light azure mountain stone. There were no traces of artificial digging within. Han Li came to this conclusion after he looked at the cave walls as he walked toward the cave.

Then, Han Lis body flashed and stealthily walked into the cave. However, just as he walked about ten steps, Han Li stopped. This was because after he turned two corners, his surroundings had already become pitch dark.

Han Li wrinkled his brow and searched through his storage pouch, taking out a moonlight stone the size of an egg. After he took it out, a soft white light clearly illuminated the vicinity. When Han Li saw this, he could not help but shake his head.

His original intention was to silently tread deeper into the depths of the cave and see whether or not there was a demonic beast guarding within. If there was one, Han Li would stealthily give it a lethal strike and save his effort! However, with the appearance of the moonlight stone, he became a clear target. How could he mount a sneak attack now?

Han Li lightly held the shining moonlight stone in his hand. After a moment of hesitation, he used his other hand to slap on an earth attribute defensive barrier. Then he crouched and continued on with light steps.

As the caves interior was not spacious like the wilds, his fast movement technique was certain to meet restrictions. With a layer of protection on his body, he was much more at ease. Although his speed was greatly reduced, he obviously couldnt choose to have both speed and protection. Han Li clearly understood this and therefore had no complaints about it.

This cave was very long and narrow. After Han Li walked for no less than a quarter hour, he saw no sign of reaching the end. This caused his heart to feel apprehension, and he could not help but doubt that he had found the wrong location and instead found a nest of top grade demonic beasts!

Fortunately, after walking several tens of meters, Han Lis worry had disappeared once he looked to the corner on his left. That was because at the left corner, there were many faint white lights illuminating his sight.

When Han Li saw this, his heart was filled with joy. He quickly put away his moonlight stone and quietly walked through. Since this place already had lights located at the corners, it seemed he would be able to continue on with his original plan!

Stealthily, Han Li slowly peeked the corner and what he saw caused him joy. But soon after, he was inwardly grumbling.

In front of him was truly the end of the cave. Furthermore it was a large natural stone hall. Not only were there many shining glittering stalactites, but near the interior there was a small purple stone wall with three to four small light azure flowers growing on it.

These small flowers were about an inch large. Their several petals were all bafflingly curled in the same direction, unexpectedly creating a unique appearance. From a distance it looked as if they were several small monkeys smiling at something comical, this truly caused one to be greatly startled!

There is no question, these are definitely the Purple Monkey Flowers. Although the color of its petals and stem were azure, it was because they arent mature yet. After Han Li saw these flowers, he immediately thought this with a pleasant surprise.

However, when he turned his gaze toward the ground below the azure stone wall, Han Lis expression immediately grew bitter. There was actually a giant centipede about three meters long lying on its stomach. It had shiny pitch black spikes on its shell, antennas about a meter long, and a terrifying sinister appearance. Without moving, Han Li became greatly frightened.

Although he had yet to kill any poisonous insect demonic beasts, he had long heard of their terrible reputation.

According to others, poisonous insect demonic beasts were far more troublesome than bird or beast-type demonic beasts. Furthermore, the majority of them had extremely powerful poison, often causing people to die immediately upon contact. That was why if it wasnt required, it was no wonder people avoided provoking this kind of demonic beasts as much as possible.

Since the centipede was this large, at the very least, it should be a medium level demonic beast. Being high level also wouldnt be out of the question. As such, how could Han Li not take in a cold breath and grimace?

Now, he had to provoke it as this centipede was guarding the Purple Monkey Flowers. If he did not take care of this large poisonous insect, to think of picking the spiritual medicines off the wall was pure idiocy.

Han Li held his breath and slowly withdrew his head. His movements were extremely careful to avoid waking up the huge centipede that seemed asleep.

He leaned against the stone wall, and with wrinkled eyebrows, he lowered his head, pondering how he should deal with this demonic beast.

By relying on the might of his top-grade magic tools, attacking rashly wouldnt be out of the question. By just using the golden light brick treasure talisman, he would be able to flatten the demonic beast in one slam. However, that action would consume quite a bit of magic power and he would be unable to maintain his peak condition.

The road back was still quite long! He was certain that he would be facing more and more dangers, and because he had to rush against time, he could not spend half a day to travel back, meditate, and replenish his magic power.

After a long period of deep thought, Han Li had a moment of brilliance and thought of a good plan.

Before he made a move, he first cautiously stretched his neck to take a look at the centipede. When he saw that it was sitting there motionlessly, he calmed down. He then faintly smiled and disappeared into the darkness of the path.

Not long after, Han Li then returned, beaming with happiness.

The protective barrier he wore could no longer be seen. Furthermore, he did not continue moving stealthily but rather turned the corner with a swagger, walking into the large hall where the giant centipede laid.

With Han Lis loud movements, how could the giant centipede not notice? If it hadnt, a better name for it wouldve been stupid beast instead of demonic beast. When it saw Han Li, The several meter-long centipede immediately grew vigilant and raised its head. It continuously waved two coarse long antennas that released strange and extremely frightening hissing noises.

When Han Li saw this, he did not say anything and merely raised his hand. Several small fireballs flew toward it at extreme speeds and struck the beasts head, producing a series of explosions.

After the blaze faded away, Han Li clearly saw the demonic beasts head remain a shiny jet black after being struck by the fireballs, and it actually hadnt left the slightest mark, leaving Han Li speechless. It seemed that what others had told him wasnt wrong. This poisonous insect demonic beast was truly troublesome!

Although the huge centipede did not receive any injuries, it was thoroughly infuriated by Han Lis recent provocation!

From its mouth two sharp teeth, it shot out a cloud of red poison mist, overbearingly surrounding Han Li. It seemed it wanted to drown Han Li in the poison.

Han Li naturally wouldnt foolishly stay still and allow even the slightest of this incomparably strange poison to touch him. Without a protective barrier slowing him down, as the tip of his feet touched the ground, he became faster than the poison mist flying around in the cave and turned around, running out of the tunnel. It appeared as if he was afraid of the demonic beasts poison mist and fled from defeat.

The huge centipede naturally did not let Han Li easily leave, and it slithered extremely fast toward him. It followed him through the large hall as if it were a gust of wind. It seemed that its mad rush was not slower than Han Lis speed. When Han Li turned his head to take a look, he became shocked and quickened his pace, increasing the distance between them and disappearing into the passage.

The giant centipede hissed strange sounds and followed without hesitation. The demonic beast had slithered through this passage countless times. It was naturally much more familiar with it than Han Li and was able to chase him down not long after. At this point, it could already clearly see Han Lis back.

The demonic beast centipede was greatly pleased. Its feet grew faster, fiercely charging forward!

At this moment, Han Li suddenly stopped. He actually turned his head around, looking at the demonic beast with a chuckle and no longer running any further. It seemed that he completely abandoned the idea of running!

As such, in the blink of an eye the giant centipede leaped toward Han Li, who was only about ten meters away. Just as it was about to joyfully tear and ravage the small human before it with its fangs, it felt a fierce pain from its abdomen, causing it to stop. It immediately fell to the floor from the pain as black poisonous blood spurted forth from its body.

Although it did not know when, the huge centipede had unexpectedly been cut by an extremely sharp blade at its weakest part, the abdomen. Without knowing, it was neatly cut open and actually received a large wound. With such a mortal wound, it was no wonder the centipede was suffering this much!

Standing to the side, Han Li naturally wouldnt let go of this opportunity to beat it while it was down. He raised his hand and released a sphere of golden light, and a sparkling blue wind blade toward the centipedes two antennas.

Chapter 196: Han Lis Plan

In a short amount of time, a blue-clothed youth wearing an expression of cold indifference, an elderly Daoist Priest with an entire head of white hair, and an azure-clothed gorgeous young woman walked out in succession. They all reached a tacit understanding and chose different locations to enter the mountainous forest.

Han Li continued to wait for about another quarter of an hour. Seeing that no other people appeared, he performed a last-minute check on the items he had and copying the people before him, chose a direction that nobody had yet walked into and silently dived in.

What Han Li didnt know was that, not long after he entered, the ugly man Zhong Yue that he had seen just yesterday appeared in front of the tunnel. He gazed at the dark road to go up the mountain and coldly laughed a few times, he released ten or so yellow dots that flew into the mountainous forest, then calmly followed after them.

At this time within the forbidden area, near the broken restrictive entrance, the people that the Seven Great Sects had left behind as guards looked worriedly in the direction of the forbidden area. Han Lis Martial Ancestor Li was one of those people.

However, it could not be known whether he was worried about the success of his own disciples or if he was more worried about losing his bet!

The mood of the other Core Formation Daoist Priest from the Clear Void Sect was not much better! Speaking of which, ever since that Senior Eccentric Qiong from the Masked Moon Sect had forced his way into the bet, he no longer had any self-confidence in the bet that they had made beforehand. In an instant, it became apparent he was somewhat worried about his own gains and losses.

This was not surprising, the blood of a flood dragons inner core had been incredibly difficult to obtain. He had basically spent all of his family fortune to obtain it. If he lost it so easily to someone else, even if his attained mental state had been higher, perhaps he would be unable to sleep for a number of years in a row because of heartache!

The Daoist Priest stealthily sized up the only person in this group who had a composed expression: the young female leader Celestial Ni Chang from the Masked Moon Sect.

The sole female in the midst of these seven great Core Formation experts had not revealed any trace of worry ever since the disciples from the Seven Great Sects had entered the forbidden area.

The more the Daoist Priest watched the womans smiling appearance, the stronger his anxiety became. When he connected this to strange Senior Qiongs expression of having a card up his sleeve when making the bet, he felt the blood of the flood dragons inner core seemingly fly away from his own pocket and had already become the possession of another!

As he thought this, the concerned expression on his face became even more strong! People who didnt know this would have truly mistakenly believe that he was deeply worried for the disciples from his sect inside the forbidden area!

After some more time, the Daoist Priest finally could not endure it any longer. Taking advantage of a moment when no one was paying attention, he quietly moved closer to Martial Ancestor Li, asking with a concerned expression, Martial Ancestor Li, the Yellow Maple Valley disciples that you sent out this time should be pretty talented! Even so, the people from our two sects might really lose to that strange Senior Qiong! Still, this Daoist Priest has some faith in the disciples from the Clear Void Sect that entered the forbidden area!

What are you trying to say? Does Daoist brother look down upon our Yellow Maple Valley? Martial Ancestor Li began to display an expression of displeasure upon hearing this.

Haha! Of course not, this Daoist Priest just feels a little peculiar about the disciples that the Masked Moon Sect sent out this time. I just cant feel at ease! the Daoist Priest laughed, explaining himself with a big smile.

Youre not the only one! This Li also perceives that something is fishy. In previous times, when have the disciples the Masked Moon Sect sent out been so young? And they are all in male-female pairs! Could it be because they think this trip to the forbidden area is for the brats to play house? Martial Ancestor Li said sullenly, apparently, he had also been unable to feel at ease concerning this times bet.

When the Daoist Priest heard what Martial Ancestor Li said, he incessantly and repeatedly nodded his head, apparently very much in agreement with what he had just said.

However, this fellow Daoist should be at ease, since Li dared to make this bet, he definitely has some trust in the disciples from his sect. Their strength will definitely not be lower than disciples from your sect, Martial Ancestor Li said slowly after giving the Daoist Priest a glance filled with deep meaning. His voice contained some heroic spirit.

Heh heh! Since Benefactor has said this, this Daoist Priest feels much more relieved! Then I will not disturb you any more. The Daoist Priests expression immediately relaxed upon hearing the answer that his heart wanted, and he laughingly took his leave. He returned to his original location and sat down to regain his composure, quietly waiting for the results to come out a few days from now.

Martial Ancestor Li, after following the Daoist priest as he left with his eyes, suddenly snorted softly. Using only a voice that he could hear, he faintly said to himself:

Fu Yunzi, you old facetious Daoist, dont think that I wouldnt know whatever plan you come up with! Arent you hoping that our two sects will join hands to triumph over the Masked Moon Sect, only to have your Clear Void Sect come to pressure our Yellow Maple Valley? Heh heh! Although I dont know what kind of impressive disciples the Clear Void Sect has sent into the forbidden area, but this time our valley has sent out the top three Qi Condensation disciples like a hive of bees. Otherwise, do you think I would have made this bet with you all?

As Martial Ancestor Li spoke, his face revealed a bit of cunningness, no trace of the concerned expression from before could be found. Clearly, he was also an old fox who kept things hidden.

Han Li naturally did not know of the scheming of the two Core Formation experts outside of the forbidden area, his path was currently being blocked by a brown, massive wild boar.

This wild boar, apart from its skin color and huge body size, as well it being many meters tall, appeared to be exactly the same as a normal wild boar.

However, as soon as Han Li saw this beast, he immediately recognized that it was one of the most commonly seen demonic beasts on the ring-shaped mountain, the Mountain Pushing Hog. This demonic beast, other than having rough skin and a slightly larger strength, only knew an innate Stone Skin Magic. Its intelligence was also incredibly low, so it would not be hard to deal with.

At this time, the Mountain Pushing Boar huffed deeply a few times, and in a flash of yellow light, its entire body was covered by a shining white stone armor. In turn, it aggressively charged fiercely in Han Lis direction.

Han Lis expression did not change, he stood in the same place and quietly waited for the charging attack of this beast right until it was only about twenty meters away from it. He then waved his hand, and his figure flashed, he had already shifted behind the demonic beast.

Mountain Pushing Boar.

Its truly huge body continued to charge towards the direction Han Li was originally standing in for about ten meters before panting once, then, its entire body, from the tip of its nose to its tail, neatly split into two in one moment, and its multicolored internal organs spilled all over the ground. It had actually been completely cut open by Han Lis thin thread magic tool!

Han Li retrieved the transparent thread. Glancing at the dead Mountain Pushing Boar, he gently shook his head and immediately jumped on top of a tree to leave this location. This was because he knew that soon the smell of blood from the demonic beasts corpse would attract a huge wave of demonic beasts with extremely acute senses of smell. It would still be best for him to slip away luckily as early as possible!

It had already been a few hours since Han Li had entered the ring-shaped mountains dense forest. However, in this short amount of time, he had unfortunately encountered four demonic beasts.

Of these four, three had been low-level ones, and Han Li naturally slaughtered them in one blow without the slightest bit of courtesy. However, that medium-level Flying Feather Peacock had five-colored tail feathers that could independently chase after and injure both people and defenses, causing Han Lis head to hurt quite a bit. Luckily, although it was classified as birdkind, its speed was not actually fast. Thus, afterwards Han Li decided he might as well practice his movement technique, and in one breath he left it behind, disappearing without a trace. It was only in this way that he had avoided this pointless battle.

Today, Han Li incessantly sighed as he leaped around from tree to tree as if he were flying.

Now, he finally knew the extent to which the ring-shaped mountains were populated with demonic beasts.

For the time being, he was still in the outer fringes, the majority of the demonic beasts he had met had been in the low-level and were not too hard to deal with. But in another period of time, when he had entered into the deeper parts of the ring-shaped mountain, perhaps medium or high-level demonic beasts would appear in waves. At that time, other than fleeing in a panic, Han Li was truly unable to think of any other tactic for escaping.

No wonder the amount of information on the hiding locations of these spiritual medicines was so little! Perhaps the disciples who had entered this mountain before had spent the greater half of their energy hiding from these demonic beasts, and the remaining time could only be used to search those seven or eight locations once. However, this was still not enough to guarantee a harvest every time one searched!

It looks like my chances of gathering enough spiritual medicines is not too high, Han Li thought with melancholy.

The direction Han Li was currently darting in was the a concealed cave where the Purple Monkey Flower grew.

Based on the information, this location shouldnt have any large value. Because this cave had been harvested once only in the past hundred or more years, the only things inside should be some seedlings close to becoming ripe, there was no way to use them to concoct pills.

A seedling? When Han Li thought of this, he couldnt help but lightly smile for a moment!

What Han Li needed was this seedling that these bystanders would not touch!

The reason why he dared to take the odd risk of entering the forbidden area and why he was so sure that he could snatch food from the jaws of a tiger in the midst of all these experts to obtain the spiritual medicines of heaven and earth! The main reason was that from the start he had set his sights on the yet-to-ripen seedlings! Only in this way could he avoid clashing with disciples from other sects as much as possible. Then he would be able to run to a few more locations, and gather some more items that were useless in other peoples eyes.

When he took these spiritual medicine seedlings back with him, he could use the green liquid from the mysterious small bottle to hasten their growth. In this way, it was not too different from directly picking ripe spiritual medicines.

Although he had heard from that Martial Uncle Ma that these saplings could not be preserved for too long outside of the forbidden area, only able to survive one to two years or so, this amount of time was already sufficient to accelerate their ripening cycle. After all, in order to be used in the Foundation Establishment Pill, their age did not need to be too great, merely four or five hundred years was sufficient for them to be used to refine the pill.

Now, the only complication was that he didnt know if the remaining three days were enough for him to harvest enough quantities of spiritual medicines. Because the locations where the seedlings grew were all over the place, and adding on the fact that he could be obstructed by those demonic beasts along the way or start conflicts with disciples from other sects, Han Li felt unsure about everything.

Chapter 195 The Strength of the Precious Moon Sun Pearl.

Chapter 195: The Strength of the Precious Moon Sun Pearl

After Han Li awoke, he did not immediately leave the tree hollow. Instead, he sat down cross-legged in the tree.

The spiritual power surged within his body, and his magic power had returned to its peak.

The feeling of soreness had already disappeared without a trace, and his strength was vigorous.

Han Li had finished inspecting himself, and he slowly opened his eyes. His heart was incredibly satisfied!

This was when he stood up and inspected the talismans and magic tools in his storage pouch, finishing up his last-minute preparations.

Han Li preciously did not have the time to carefully look through the few storage pouches he previously took from the fully bearded man and his associate. Now, he would naturally search through them once to see if there were any usable magic tools.

Truthfully, regardless of whether it was the storage pouches of the fully bearded man and his partner or the storage pouches that they had taken from others, the magic tools in the pouches were numerous, but their quality was incredibly low. After seeing this, Han Li was at a loss for words!

Combined, the five storage pouches contained twenty three magic tools five low-grade ones, seven mid-grade ones, and eleven-high grade ones.

One of the storage pouches actually only contained two low-grade magic tools and two mid-grade ones, there were no high-grade magic tools at all. This discovery caused Han Li to be stunned for a long time, causing him to sigh with sorrow.

The net worth of normal disciples and elite disciples were really as different as the heavens and the earth!

This pile of storage pouches did not contain a single top-grade magic tool. No wonder when Han Li had bound the fully bearded man with his Earth Prison Technique, he seemed to have no method to escape. He could only watch as he was crushed to death by the Golden Light Brick.

When Han Li thought about the number of top-grade magic tools that the woman with many treasures and Feng Yue had, he felt incredibly helpless towards the poverty of regular disciples!

No wonder when other people saw his weak cultivation base, they would subconsciously think that his strength was feeble and could be easily bullied. No one would consider the question of what strong magic tools he might have.

Now, Han Li could finally understand why so many disciples had been so excited when they had found out that the Yellow Maple Valleys meeting hall was handing out high-grade magic tools! It seemed like the Yellow Maple Valley that he was part of treated these average disciples pretty well! They were actually willing to use several scores of high-grade magic tools to encourage their morale!

In reality, Han Li had guessed incorrectly concerning this matter! Even if the various sects sent out their elite disciples to the forbidden area, they very rarely owned any top-grade magic tools.

People like the woman with many treasures, who had top-grade magic weapons from head to toe, were very few in number even among the elite disciples. In addition, most of them came from influential backgrounds. Regular elite disciples would fall short even in flattery!

In this way, Han Li, who had three or four top-grade magic tools on him, could already cause these so-called elite disciples to drool! All in all, before reaching Core Formation, with the exception of the treasure talismans, each extra top-grade magic tool could change ones strength beyond recognition!

While Han Li was in the Yellow Maple Valley, because his contact with other Senior Martial Brothers had been too rare, he was an amateur when it came to the matters of the cultivator world. He still subconsciously believed that the elite disciples all had a pile of top-grade magic tools!

This was not surprising, ever since he had had the huge battle with Senior Martial Brother Lu, all of the enemies that he had encountered were owners of top-grade magic tools. This caused him to give rise to the misconception that top-grade magic tools were not rare.

Now, although he had realized the regular disciples lack of magic tools, he still did not completely understand the worth of top-grade magic tools. Was this would be a misfortune or a blessing to Han Li?

Han Li naturally neglected the low and mid-grade magic tools, he would not consider using them. He then tried out each of the high-grade magic tools before selecting three of the strongest and most practical ones to use as backup magic tools.

A deep blue flying dagger, a golden alms bowl, and a jade pot! These were the items that Han Li had chosen.

The flying dagger and the golden alms bowl were all pure attack-type magic tools, and there was nothing of particular note about them. However, the jade pot was uncommon, it actually was a rarely seen support-type magic tool.

The pot could spurt out a green poisonous miasma and surround the area near the enemies, causing them to die from poison! At a first glance, the usefulness of this pot seemed to be pretty good, but in fact it was a magic tool of little value. Any barriers of the five elements could all block the poison, it was impossible to use it to actually poison a cultivator!

If it wasnt because Han Li thought that this green poisonous fog could temporarily obstruct the enemys vision and bring the opponent a certain amount of inconvenience, he truly might not have chosen this magic tool.

Once he sorted out everything on him, Han Li silently slipped out of the tree hole after estimating the time. Then, after determining his direction, he began to slowly travel on his way.

It was definitely out of the question to fly directly into the ring-shaped mountain after the dense fog had been dispersed! He would be noticed by countless demonic beasts that could fly and would be surrounded and attacked to death. In bygone years, there had been a few small paths to safely enter the ring-shaped mountain. Han Li directly headed towards the closest tunnel.

The entrance to the tunnel was not too far, and with a bit of effort Han Li hurried to the location specified by the information!

After hiding behind some large tree, looking at the limitless fog considered to be as big as the sky, Han Li was truly stunned!

The misty fog virtually covered the heavens and the earth! One could forget about seeing the entrance to the ring-shaped mountain, Han Li could not see clearly even one Zhang into the thick fog!

No wonder nobody had dared to climb this mountain before the Precious Moon Sun Pearl existed! When he thought about the fact that inside this fog one would have to suffer constantly from the attacks of various demonic beasts that would come and go without warning, he was speechless for quite some time!

Since the fog was still so large, it seemed as if the Heavenly Imperial Fortress disciples in possession of the precious pearl had not yet begun to activate their spell and dispel the fog!

Thinking in this manner, Han Li stood behind the tree and began to silently wait!

Directly facing the large fog, the place where Han Li was waiting was overgrown with lots of wild trees and wild brush. There was no problem for ten or so people to hide in them.

Although Han Li had not discovered the existence of other people all around him, he also knew that other people were definitely nearby. After all, there were only a few of these routes going up the mountain. It was only because the time for entering the mountain was imminent that other people hadnt paid any attention to his arrival.

Time passed by hour by hour.

After Han Li had bitterly waited three to four hours, he suddenly felt a frightening spiritual power coming from his southwest direction. Next, a soaring white pillar of light flew into the sky at a faraway location! In the skies above the boundless sea of fog, the light aggregated into a huge sphere of light.

Although the light sphere had been formed, the light pillar didnt seem to have any intention of stopping and continued to incessantly pour energy into the sphere. Thus, the sphere of light got larger and larger and more and more dazzling. Finally, it was actually as if a new sun had risen into the sky, causing people to not dare look at it!

A brief moment later, the light column disappeared from view, only leaving that gigantic sphere of light floating high in the sky.

However, the duration of the sphere of light was pitifully short, in the blink of an eye, it began to distort its shape, and it surface began to depress like a piece of dough. This caused Han Li, who had seen the whole sequence of events, to be stupefied, his mouth hung wide open, and he forgot to close it!

With an earth-shaking Bang!, the huge sphere of light finally bursted open high in the sky, and became countless fist-sized, beautiful dots of light that floated down. They sprinkled down towards the large stretch of fog like an extremely glamorous rain of light.

When each sphere of white light fell into the dense fog, it immediately caused the nearby dense fog to become alive like a flood dragon and automatically rush towards the heart of the spheres of light. However, the thick fog was immediately dissolved upon contact with the spheres of light, but the spheres of light also dimmed significantly.

When more of the spheres of light came into contact with the large fog, the entire area of dense fog changed like a frightening landslide or a tsunami, and all of the mist was incessantly boiling and roiling! It was just as if a huge demonic beast was resisting being bound, and was in the last throes of its resistance.

Both of Han Lis eyes stared unblinkingly at everything that had happened, it was the first time in his entire life that he had ever witnessed the true strength of an incredible magic treasure! In the aftermath of his shock, the depths of his heart were filled with feelings of envy and desire!

After the struggle between the fog and the sphere of light, the fog finally began to slowly thin out. The silhouette of the dangerous and tall ring-shaped mountain appeared before Han Li and others for the first time.

How tall!

This was the admiring exclamation of all those who had clearly seen the ring-shaped mountains, and Han Li was no exception as one of these people!

The ring-shaped mountains before him was truly frighteningly tall!

Looking up, the mountains appeared to reach a height of a three kilometers. It was soaring through the clouds so the peak was not visible. Strange eye-catching cliffs and rocks were abundant on the mountains exterior. Those that were not taking cover near giant trees were found throughout the mountains. What caused peoples hearts to be even more surprised was that the two sides of this mountain extended indefinitely into the distance. One did not know how long one would have to continue in order to figure out its extremities.

However, the mountain ridge on this side of the mountains in front of Han Li and the others was incredibly flat, not nearly as steep as other directions. It seemed as if this was the road to take up the mountains.

At this time, a few faint and low demonic beast howls could be heard coming from within the mountains. Their sound was mournful and sinister, causing people who heard to tremble with fear!

Han Li was currently staring to the point of being dazed!

With a whoosh, a yellow shadow shot out of the patch of underbrush on Han Lis side like an arrow. He leaped into the midst of the dark mountain and disappeared from view. freewenovel.cm

This movement seemed to have triggered the nerves of the other hidden people. Immediately, several more people jumped out at the same time and rushed forwards together. Right as they were about to enter the forests on the mountain, however, a few people slightly widened the distance and entered into different areas of the ring-shaped mountains!

Han Li had not yet emerged. He planned to observe exactly what kind of people would choose the same route to enter the mountain as him!
