Luo Qinghai's expression was solemn. He formed a hand seal and the blue light that was holding Nanke Meng suddenly split into five and entered every part of her body.
The blue icicles on Nanke Meng's face quickly dissipated and her trembling body slowly stopped.
"Grand Palace Lord, what happened to Martial Nephew Nan?" the pale-faced scholar asked.
"This isn't the place to talk. Let's find a place to settle down first."
Luo Qinghai's expression was somewhat grim. He led Nanke Meng out of Seagaze City and quickly found a quiet inn to stay in.
"Meng 'er suffered serious injuries in the previous battle. She forcefully activated the Icy Crystal Stele and the cold energy from the stele has invaded her meridians. If we don't deal with it in time, I'm afraid her cultivation foundation will be damaged.
I must immediately use a secret technique to heal her.
You must be tired from the long journey. Take a rest here first. "
Luo Qinghai spoke to the pale-faced scholar and the others outside a small courtyard at the back of the inn. He then led Nanke Meng inside.
A moment later, a layer of blue light appeared and enveloped the entire courtyard.
"With the Grand Palace Lord personally taking care of Martial Nephew Nan, there is no need to worry about her injuries. Everyone, take a rest," the pale-faced scholar said and walked into a nearby courtyard.
The other True Immortals of Cangliu Palace also walked into their own courtyards.
The black-bearded old man stood there without moving. He glanced at Luo Qinghai's courtyard and turned to walk into the pale-faced scholar's courtyard.
The pale-faced scholar gently fanned the blue feather fan in his hand and asked in surprise, "Palace Lord Tie, why aren't you resting?"
"With our cultivation, how can we be tired after a few days of travel?
I came here to discuss something with Palace Lord Qiu. "The black-bearded old man chuckled and waved his hand to open a layer of restriction light barrier.
The pale-faced scholar's expression didn't change and he slowly said, "Oh, Palace Lord Tie, please speak your mind."
The old man lowered his voice and asked, "Palace Lord Qiu, how was your harvest in the Netherfrost Immortal Abode?"
"Not bad. May I know what advice Palace Master Tie has for me?" The pale-faced scholar frowned slightly when he heard these words.
"We didn't gain much during this trip to the Netherfrost Immortal Abode for the sake of Supreme Hall. Instead, we lost a lot of treasures. The gains don't make up for the losses.
Could it be that Palace Lord Qiu was willing to return to the sect like this?
This time, Five Extremes Palace only sent the two of us out with the Palace Master. Although the other three Palace Masters didn't say anything, they definitely won't be happy about it.
Given the Grand Palace Lord's personality, he definitely won't let us get our hands on any good opportunities in the future. "The black-bearded old man slammed the table and spoke in an unwilling tone.
"Palace Master Tie, if you have something to say, please say it."
The pale-faced scholar's expression was calm, and the blue feather fan in his hand was incessantly fanning, completely unmoved by the old man's words.
"Since Palace Lord Qiu is a straightforward person, then I shall speak bluntly.
Although we don't have anything to take back, it doesn't mean that others don't. "The black-bearded old man chuckled and didn't seem to mind as he pointed outside.
"You mean that person just now …" The pale-faced scholar stopped the fan in his hand, and his heart stirred.
"Exactly. Since that person came from the Netherfrost Celestial Estate, he probably has a lot of good things on him.
Even if he was unlucky and didn't gain much, given his wealth as a Golden Immortal, it should be enough to make up for our losses, "the black-bearded elder said with a smile.
When the pale-faced scholar heard this, his expression changed slightly, but he immediately shook his head and said, "No, we don't know the other party's background.
Moreover, the Grand Palace Lord has already said not to complicate matters. "
"To put it bluntly, the Grand Palace Lord has already obtained the Great Unity Pill. He naturally doesn't want to add to this matter. We are still empty-handed," the black-bearded old man said with a sneer.
"Palace Master Tie, how can you criticize the Grand Palace Lord like this? Everything he does is for the future of the Cangliu Palace." The pale-faced scholar's expression darkened.
"I have no intention of slandering the Grand Palace Lord.
That person left in a hurry after seeing us. He is clearly an enemy and not a friend. If we can eliminate him, it will be greatly beneficial to the sect.
Why didn't you make a move? "The black-bearded old man snorted and said.
"What you said is not wrong. It's just that the other party's cultivation is unclear. Even if the two of us join forces, we might not have a hundred percent chance of success," the pale-faced scholar said after a moment of silence.
"Regarding this, Palace Master Qiu doesn't need to worry." The black-bearded old man was overjoyed when he heard this and waved his hand.
Two yellow rays shot out from his hand and turned into two earthen yellow puppets that were as tall as a person. They emitted a powerful aura mixed with traces of law fluctuations.
However, these two earthen yellow puppets were severely damaged and the aura they emitted was also fluctuating.
"Golden Immortal puppets!" The pale-faced scholar was startled and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.
"With the help of these two puppets, Palace Master Qiu should be able to rest assured," the black-bearded old man said with a smile.
"I didn't expect Palace Master Tie to have such a treasure. With these two Golden Immortal puppets and the two of us joining forces, there is indeed no risk," the pale-faced scholar said thoughtfully.
After a while, two silhouettes quietly flew out of the inn and headed into the distance.
… …
Han Li walked out of a material shop with a jade box in his hand and a happy expression on his face.
Inside the jade box was the seed of a spirit herb called Luminous Grass. It was a spirit herb unique to the Wasteland Continent.
With this Luminous Grass, the ingredients for a Golden Immortal pill in the South China Alchemy Sutra, the Azure Abyssal Pill, were basically complete.
Speaking of which, this kind of spirit herb was quite rare on the Wasteland Continent. Originally, he only had the slightest hope of finding it in Seagaze City. He didn't expect to actually find it. Although it was only a seed, it made no difference to him.
He put away the jade box and quickly left Seagaze City.
Han Li's figure swayed and turned into a ray of azure light that shot into the distance, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Not long after he left, two faintly discernible figures flew out of the city and chased after him.
Han Li didn't immediately take out the Jasper Flying Carriage. It was an item that had been lost for a long time. Although no one in Seagaze City would recognize it, it was better to be careful and wait until he was far away from here before changing to a flying carriage.
He flew forward in an ordinary light and took out a white jade slip with a wave of his hand.
This was the map that Jiao San had given him to leave the Northern Frost Celestial Realm.
Han Li's eyebrows suddenly twitched as his divine sense entered the jade slip.
According to the jade slip, the starting point of the map was somewhere in the southwest of the Northern Frost Celestial Realm.
Han Li pondered as he played with the jade slip in his hand.
Although Jiao San had told him two ways to leave the Northern Frost Celestial Realm, it was obviously impossible to go through the Qiankun Gate of the Northern Frost Celestial Palace.
Although the Samsara Temple's mask had never been seen through, it was still the number one enemy of the Heavenly Court. Who knew how many methods the Heavenly Court had to deal with it?
Therefore, the only way left was to cross the Wasteland World.
However, he didn't completely believe Jiao San's words. He still needed to verify it.
Besides, he had to go to the Ancient Cloud Continent before going there.
Han Li looked around and found that he was already very far away from Seagaze City. He immediately turned around and shouted, "Who's sneaking around?
"Who's sneaking around? Could it be that you have something to hide?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Void in front of him fluctuated and the figure of a masked old man appeared.
"I don't think I know you. Why are you following me?" Han Li looked at the masked old man and frowned.
Although the old man's aura was covered by an invisible force, he still felt that he was vaguely familiar.
The masked old man didn't say a word and immediately waved his hand.
Nine rays of platinum light shot out from his sleeves. They were nine platinum flying swords.
The nine flying swords were surrounded by countless white talisman inscriptions that looked like burning platinum flames. As the wind blew against them, they instantly became hundreds of feet long. They connected with each other head to tail and looked like a white sword dragon that was hundreds of feet long. It swooped down menacingly at Han Li.
Before the white sword dragon had even descended, a burst of incomparably sharp power of laws swept down from its body, causing the space in its wake to tremor and tremor, and a series of long black cracks appeared in its wake.
However, Han Li didn't move in the face of this. He wore a mocking smile on his face and formed a hand seal.
Golden light flowed on the surface of his body and a series of crackling sounds came from within. A layer of long golden hair grew over his body and his body expanded dramatically. In the blink of an eye, he had turned into a giant golden ape that was hundreds of feet tall.
The giant ape grabbed with one hand and green light flickered in his palm. A dark green heavy sword appeared out of thin air. It was one of the three immortal weapons he had just obtained, the heavy sword.
As soon as the dark green heavy sword was summoned, all of the spirit patterns on its surface lit up, and in a flash, it transformed into a massive dark green sword that was around 1,000 feet in size. A layer of silver runes appeared over its surface, and an enormous burst of power of laws erupted from it.
"Hah!" The giant golden ape shouted and swung its thick arm.
The dark green sword turned into a green sword shadow and fiercely slashed at the white sword dragon.
The two powers of law collided like two huge waves, producing a loud bang!
The white light around the white sword dragon collapsed in an instant and the power of law it emitted also collapsed and extinguished. Then, the entire sword dragon was sent flying by the sword like a straw in a gale.
"Bang!" The white sword dragon disintegrated and turned back into nine platinum flying swords. Then, it flew back with a rumbling sound.
The sword-light of each flying sword was dim. It was obvious that their spirituality had been damaged.
A trace of shock flashed in the eyes of the masked old man when he saw this.
However, at this moment, a black light flashed in the nearby Void and a large black mist gushed out of it. It quickly spread in all directions and shrouded an area of dozens of miles in the blink of an eye.
The masked old man's eyes lit up with joy. Then, his figure flashed and disappeared into the black mist.
Han Li was shrouded in the black mist and the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. He appeared in the middle of a black ocean.
He looked around and saw huge waves rolling in all directions. Then, black sea beasts leaped out of them and pounced on him from all directions.
