Not far away, Han Li's eyes flashed when he heard Icy Flame Tao Ancestor's words. He suddenly dispersed the concealment technique in his hand, and the two figures immediately appeared.
"Let's go!"
He shouted in a low voice and grabbed Lu Yuqing's waist with one hand. Suddenly, golden arcs of lightning appeared on the surface of his body.
These arcs of lightning flashed and gathered above their heads. In an instant, they turned into a thick bolt of golden lightning that wrapped around their bodies and broke through the sky above their heads.
Seeing this, Xue Han was startled and quickly turned around.
"I knew you couldn't have gone far. I was waiting for you to show yourselves!" He sneered and pointed with a finger.
"Whoosh!"
The black net above the Herb Garden suddenly rumbled and shone brightly. It immediately became several times thicker.
At the same time, streaks of black threads shot out from the various nodes around and above the large net like spiritual snakes, rapidly entangling the golden lightning that shot up into the sky.
These black threads seemed to meander in mid-air, but they were astonishingly fast. They turned into blurry shadows and seemed to be even faster than the golden lightning.
The golden lightning did its best to dodge and approach the black net above its head. However, when it was less than ten feet away from the net, it was quickly entangled by the black threads that filled the sky.
A strange power of law emanated from the black threads. It was somewhat similar to a restraining law. The golden lightning immediately collapsed, revealing the figures of Han Li and Lu Yuqing.
The black threads from all directions did not stop. They flew towards the two from all directions. They were as dense as rain, and there was no way to avoid them.
Han Li's pupils shrank slightly, but he did not panic at all. A golden light flashed behind him.
A golden wheel appeared and rotated rapidly. Then, it immediately integrated into his body.
A faint layer of golden light appeared on Han Li's body. His figure suddenly became blurry, and he continued to rush towards the black net above his head.
His speed suddenly became extremely fast, and his movements became even more rapid. The countless black threads raining down from above seemed to be inundating his body, but Han Li's body transformed into several tens of afterimages in quick succession, easily evading all of the black threads.
A series of changes were completed in the blink of an eye.
Just as Xue Han turned around, before he could even take a step, Han Li had already taken Lu Yuqing and dodged the black silk that filled the sky. They appeared in front of the black net above.
Shock flashed across Xue Han's eyes but he quickly calmed down.
So what if he rushed to the front of the black net? The black threads were just a variation of his black spiritual net.
Not only did the net contain the power of the Law of Confinement, but it was also extremely tough. It was more than enough to trap a Golden Immortal, let alone a mere Perfected Immortal like Han Li.
Xue Han flipped his hand and put away the small silver tower. His body turned into a black shadow and pounced toward the two.
Suddenly, an incomparably formidable aura burst out from Han Li's body. Shockingly, it had reached the Golden Immortal stage.
Crackle!
Bolts of golden lightning emerged from his body. These golden lightning bolts were crystal clear and extremely thick. They were far more powerful than the golden lightning bolts from before. Shockingly, there were also faint fluctuations of the power of laws mixed within them.
At the same time, a huge crab pincer suddenly extended from Han Li's body. It was wrapped in thick golden lightning and like a huge lightning scissors, it cut the black net.
"Rip!"
A hole was cut in the black net. Although it was not big, it was enough for two people to pass through.
Seeing this, Xue Han's expression changed drastically.
Han Li's body swayed, transforming into a blur as he flew out of the hole in the wall and fled.
He did not stop at all. His body blurred and in the next moment, he appeared in the distant sky. Then, with another flash, he completely disappeared.
Almost as soon as Han Li escaped, Xue Han's figure also arrived outside the black net and looked in the direction where Han Li escaped.
"Damn it, go after him!" Xue Han roared angrily.
…
In a dense forest on the left side of the mountain peak.
A golden light flashed and landed here. As the light faded, Han Li and Lu Yuqing's figures reappeared.
"Brother Han, why didn't we just fly away from here?" Lu Yuqing looked a little flustered and asked.
"The leader is a Golden Immortal.
If it was just me, I might not lose to him in terms of speed. But if I bring you along, I'm not sure I can escape unscathed.
Once we escape to the sea, it will be difficult for us to get rid of them. "Han Li looked at the sky and explained.
Hearing this, Lu Yuqing's expression changed slightly. She was glad that Han Li did not choose to abandon her.
"However, hiding here is not a foolproof plan. We need to conceal our breath and hide somewhere else on the island.
By the way, do you have a spiritual treasure that can conceal your breath? "Han Li retracted his gaze and asked.
"Yes, my father bought one for me at a high price." Lu Yuqing nodded and said.
With a flip of her palm, she took out an extremely thin snow-white dress and put it on.
As soon as the dress was put on, a faint layer of white light appeared and merged with Lu Yuqing's clothes in a flash.
At the same time, the breath on her body became faintly discernible.
"Not bad. As long as we keep a certain distance, we should not be discovered." Han Li nodded in satisfaction after a brief inspection.
As he spoke, he also activated the Impermanence Alliance's Mask and Concealment Secret Technique to completely conceal his breath.
Then, the two of them walked in the opposite direction of the herb garden and into the depths of the forest.
Not long after the two of them left, four figures flew down from the sky and landed at the place where they were before.
"The two people's breaths disappeared here …" Boneflame Sanren looked around and said with a frown.
"They are probably afraid of being discovered by us, so they hid." A sturdy man with a towering figure sneered and said.
"We must find them no matter what. Otherwise, if Master Xue Han investigates, we will not be able to bear the consequences." Another cultivator from the Ten Directions Tower said with a bitter expression and some worry.
"Hehe, don't panic. I have some small techniques for locating people. You can try it." Spiritual Master Clarity said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped his palm over, and a palm-sized violet gold cauldron appeared in his palm.
On the lid of the small cauldron, there was a strange beast with a strange long nose. Its eyes were closed and its nose was curled up. It looked naive and lifelike.
Spiritual Master Clarity first took out a piece of black incense. He rubbed his fingers and lit it up before throwing it into the small cauldron. Then, he put two fingers together and muttered an incantation before pointing at the head of the strange beast on the lid.
The strange mutant beast abruptly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of ruby-like eyeballs. It extended its neck and sniffed its surroundings before turning its nose toward the direction that Han Li and Liu Shui'er had departed in, expelling a plume of dense white smoke.
Spiritual Master Clarity chuckled and said, "This Spirit Sniffing Cauldron can smell the magic power, scent, and many other traces of cultivators in the air. It is especially sensitive to the scent of women.
However, the time interval can't be too long, so we must hurry and give chase, "Spiritual Master Clarity said with a chuckle.
When the other three saw this, they were overjoyed. They quickly followed the direction pointed by the smoke and chased after them.
Han Li and Spiritual Master Clarity continued to walk through the dense forest. Not long after, they arrived at a dilapidated and abandoned garden.
As far as the eye could see, the original pavilions in the garden had all collapsed. Slippery moss and dense vines grew everywhere.
The abandoned garden was not very large. It was basically built on the edge of the forest. Once they walked out of the garden, they would reach the end of the forest.
The exit of the garden was a half-collapsed arched door. Outside, there was a winding path overgrown with weeds that extended all the way down the mountain.
Han Li suddenly stopped and looked back in the direction of the forest. He said, "Something's wrong. Someone is following us …"
Lu Yuqing also hurriedly looked back and said in surprise, "We've already concealed our presence. How did they catch up?"
"We have a secret technique to conceal our presence. It's not necessarily that they don't have a secret technique to detect us. If it really doesn't work, we can only try to escape …" Before Han Li finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed and he let out a surprised gasp.
"What's wrong, Big Brother Han?" Lu Yuqing asked nervously.
Han Li did not reply. Instead, he quickly walked to the half-collapsed arched door that resembled a crescent moon and carefully examined it.
When Lu Yuqing saw this, she also followed. She frowned and looked at the arched door.
Her and Han Li's eyes lit up at the same time. One was blue and the other was black. Each had its own strange phenomenon.
After a moment, Lu Yuqing withdrew her gaze and asked doubtfully, "Big Brother Han, did you see something wrong?"
"You also didn't see anything?
I think I was overthinking. Let's go. "Han Li heard this and looked at Lu Yuqing. He shook his head slightly.
After saying this, the two of them stepped into the circular arched door.
As a result, the space around the two of them immediately distorted. It was like a flat piece of white paper had suddenly been poked inwards by a finger. Layers of wrinkles immediately appeared in the surroundings.
Han Li was shocked. He wanted to retreat, but it was already too late. After taking a step into the air, he staggered and fell forward before regaining his balance.
Lu Yuqing, who was beside him, also lost her balance and fell forward. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and caught her. Otherwise, it would be a joke of an immortal tripping.
"What is this place … we are …"
After Lu Yuqing straightened up, she looked at the scenery in front of her and immediately cried out in surprise.
In front of her, a long and narrow mountain range that stretched for hundreds of miles had appeared out of nowhere. The mountains on it rose and fell, and the peaks were undulating. It seemed to be connected to the small island they were on.
Han Li looked back. The half-collapsed arched door was still there, but compared to the environment here, it was somewhat out of place.
