"Reporting to Immortal Envoy, after Elder Lu reported to me, I felt that this matter was of great importance and immediately blocked the news.
Now, in the entire sect, only the two of us know about it. In addition, in order to avoid alerting the snake, we even concealed the other cultivators who are currently renting the lake underwater mansion and did not let them leave in advance. "The handsome Youth, who was the Sect Master of the Comb Sect, hurriedly said.
"That's good, so we don't have to waste effort to destroy the entire sect …" Dongfang Bai nodded and said thoughtfully.
When the handsome Youth and the round-faced old man heard this, they frowned and looked at each other, wondering if they had heard something wrong. Their eyes were full of suspicion.
However, before they could think clearly, they suddenly found that their bodies were stiff and they couldn't move at all.
From head to toe, only their eyeballs could still move. When they looked at each other's bodies, they were shocked to discover that a layer of green and slippery moss had actually grown on their bodies at some point in time. On top of the moss, there was a large bewitching flower that had sprouted.
"No …"
With a painful roar from the Youth, the big bewitching flower bloomed. Its color became blood red, and there were even a few drops of crystal dew condensed on its surface. It looked simply delicate and beautiful.
In contrast, the two people wrapped in moss seemed to have their vitality drained. Their skin lost all moisture, and in just a few breaths, they turned into two shriveled and ugly mummies.
Dongfang Bai glanced at them expressionlessly, then turned his head and asked, "Elder Lu, that person's aura is still here, right?"
"It's still here." The thin old man who looked like a mouse wrinkled his nose and said.
"As long as he's still here, that's good." Dongfang Bai nodded with a smile.
Tao Ji's gaze fell on the vast water in the distance. His eyes were a little gloomy and unclear, but he didn't know why, but there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.
"Tao Ji, if you have anything to say, just say it." Dongfang Bai saw the change in Tao Ji's expression and asked.
"Palace Master, judging from Han Li's past, he is definitely not a careless person. Why did he leave such an obvious trail for us to follow him here? I think there is something fishy about this." Tao Ji said.
"Could it be that Elder Tao has been scared out of his wits by what happened last time? Why are you so careful?
Now that Palace Lord Dongfang is personally taking action, do you think you can let him escape? "The black-robed man sneered.
"Hei Dao, Elder Tao's words are not unreasonable. We should be more cautious." Dongfang Bai waved his hand and said.
Tao Ji hurriedly bowed when he heard this.
After saying this, Dongfang Bai waved his hand and the white shuttle suddenly flew out, instantly arriving in the sky above the Three Rivers.
"It's that body of water." Lu Yun pointed to a spot on the lake and said.
"Palace Master, please wait for a moment. Let me split open this lake and force that bastard to show himself." As Black Blade spoke, he removed the ghost head broadsword from his back and held it in his hand.
"No need. You are a guest. How can you fight before you even enter the door?" Dongfang Bai stopped him and said with a faint smile.
After saying this, he raised his finger and pointed in the air. A green light burst out from his fingertip and flew into the lake in a flash.
When the green light entered the water, it was like a dragon diving into the sea. It spun violently and dived toward the light curtain area underwater.
The originally calm lake water suddenly set off monstrous waves, and a huge spiral hole suddenly appeared in the lake, leading straight to the Ghost Worry Underwater Mansion at the bottom of the lake.
At the same time, a green spiritual domain shrouded up, surrounding the turbulent area of the lake water like a cage. All the fluctuations were limited to the spiritual domain.
Outside the spiritual domain, it was still calm. Even if there were curious onlookers, they could not see the scene inside the Clear Spirit Domain.
The flood dragon-like azure light slammed into the white curtain of light like a horseman chiseling through a formation, producing a heaven-shaking rumble. The white curtain of light cracked in response, and the small hill where the Tranquil Sect's ancestral hall stood was revealed.
At this moment, Han Li and Weeping Soul were sitting at the stone table in the courtyard. The wine cup in their hands shook slightly, but the amber wine in it did not spill out at all.
"It's quite a scene. It seems that your previous guess was right. That Palace Master Dongfang has come personally.
However, he dares to be so arrogant with his cultivation at the peak of the Taiyi realm? "Han Li glanced at the sky and said with a smile.
After saying this, he poured the wine in his hand three times, put away the wine cup, and stood up from the stone bench.
At this moment, the surrounding lake water seemed to be imprisoned by a strange power. A whirlpool formed around the area above the small hill. It spun on its own and did not fall toward the center.
Dongfang Bai and the other three arrived in the air and floated above the small courtyard, looking down at Han Li and Weeping Soul.
"Friend Han, I've heard of your name for a long time. It's an honor to meet you today."
Dongfang Bai looked up and down at Han Li, and did not seem to find anything special. He said with a faint smile.
"Tsk tsk, when did Han become so famous that he could make the Palace Master of the Golden Origin Immortal Domain chase after his ass for so long. It's an honor," Han Li said without the slightest politeness.
"Bold thief, how dare you speak to Palace Master Dongfang like this?" Black Knife heard this and flew into a rage.
"What, did I say something wrong?
Tell me, then. How should I speak to a deranged ruler of a realm who willfully slaughters the innocent? "Han Li coldly glanced at him and indifferently said.
Black Knife's eyes flashed coldly, and he was about to step forward.
Dongfang Bai just glanced sideways at him, and the latter clenched his teeth and resisted the impulse.
The thin Lu Yun narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Li with a thoughtful expression.
Han Li's eyes fell on the handsome young man next to him and said with some surprise, "Elder Tao, I didn't expect to see you again so soon.
But since you were lucky enough to escape, you should cherish your life … "
Tao Ji noticed Han Li's gaze on him and couldn't help but swallow. He felt his mouth was a little dry and his eyes flashed fiercely, but he didn't say anything.
"Friend Han, with my identity and status, why should I care about the lives of those ants?
Anyway, as long as you are willing to hand over that thing, I can consider letting you go and even recommend you to join the Nine Yuan Temple.
What do you think? "Dongfang Bai laughed and said the purpose of his trip.
When Han Li heard the words "Nine Yuan Temple", he immediately understood what "that thing" was referred to.
His pupils constricted slightly, and he didn't bother to hide the fact that he had the Sky Bottle. Anyway, he didn't intend to let any of these people go today. Otherwise, once the slightest news was leaked, the trouble in the future would be endless.
Previously, due to various concerns, he didn't want to have a head-on conflict with these forces of the Immortal Palace, but it didn't mean that he was really afraid. Now that the other party had repeatedly touched his bottom line and chased him everywhere like a shadow, he had to settle the score with the other party.
"I advise you not to go against the Heavenly Court. After all, a toast is always better than a forfeit.
If you are willing, you can rest easy and cultivate in peace from now on.
With your aptitude, as long as you have enough resources, it is only a matter of time before you reach the Zenith Heaven Realm … "Dongfang Bai said again when he saw Han Li was silent.
"It seems that not only do you like to chase after others, but you also talk a lot of nonsense, just like farting.
Han doesn't know what you want, and I don't want to know. In addition, although Han likes wine, as long as it is your wine, Han will not drink it. "Han Li interrupted Dongfang Bai and said lazily.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist is determined to go against the Heavenly Court. What a pity, what a pity … Since Fellow Daoist doesn't like toasting, then I can only send you a cup of forfeit wine." Dongfang Bai sighed and said regretfully.
As soon as his voice fell, Black Blade, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed out with a series of afterimages. The ghost head long blade in his hand was unsheathed, and the blood-colored runes on the blade shone brightly. A gloomy dark cloud surged out from it and slashed toward the Ancestral Hall.
With a clang, the ghost head long blade shot out a dazzling blade aura that was thousands of meters long, directly piercing through the sky and falling from the sky.
The rolling dark cloud surged down, and huge ferocious and terrifying ghosts emerged from it. All of them had a frenzied appearance and were eager to devour blood. They covered the sky and enveloped Han Li and the Weeping Soul.
Han Li turned a blind eye to Black Blade's powerful attack. He only turned his head to look at the Weeping Soul, unable to conceal the smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Ever since I woke up, my stomach has been feeling a little empty. I didn't expect that there would be a ghost cultivator of this level in the Immortal Palace. This is really … a feast." The Weeping Soul stuck out its tongue and licked its lips as it said eagerly.
"Don't eat too quickly. Pay attention to digestion." Han Li nodded with a smile.
The Weeping Soul Beast responded before it shot up into the air like a falling meteor. It charged directly toward the seemingly unstoppable Myriad Ghost Saber Qi, smashing into the dark clouds in an instant and vanishing without a trace.
The downward momentum of the blade aura suddenly stopped, and then there was no more movement.
Dongfang Bai's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at the black-robed man with some doubt.
"This …" The latter was also a little dumbfounded. He had never seen such a suicidal person.
Before he could figure it out, his expression suddenly changed, and his face became abnormally frightened.
Dongfang Bai also noticed something strange at this time, and he looked toward the dark cloud.
He saw that the ghosts that were still aggressive just now were now struggling as if they had seen a ghost. They wanted to escape from the dark cloud blade aura, but their bodies were bound to the blade, so they naturally couldn't escape.
Immediately afterward, in the rolling dark cloud, two strange horns pierced out, and then a huge giant ape head appeared. It bared its fangs, and the flesh on its forehead split open, revealing a third blood-red demonic eye. Three black bone spurs protruded from its back, and the black hair all over its body stood up like steel needles. It was full of Yin Qi.
Compared to the man-eating evil spirits, this strange beast was clearly more like an evil spirit.
"No!
This is … the Xing Beast! "Dongfang Bai's eyes flashed, and he exclaimed.
At this time, the Black Blade had naturally recognized it, and he complained incessantly in his heart. He really didn't expect to encounter such a natural nemesis.
He quickly formed a blade sign, wanting to return the ghost head blade in his hand to its sheath.
However, how could the Xing Beast give up so easily? The vertical eye between its eyebrows shone brightly, and a blood-red light gushed out from it, turning into a huge blood-red chain that shuttled toward the ghosts.
