After Han Li and the others left, only Lei Yuce, Su Suiqian, and the others were left.
For some reason, Jin Liu felt slightly relieved as he watched Han Li's figure disappear into the horizon. It was as if his tense nerves had suddenly relaxed a little.
He had never been able to see through this person. No matter what he did on the surface, he had never let down his guard and vigilance.
Lan Yuanzi and his sister looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they were originally ordered to kill Han Li, they found that this opponent was more difficult to deal with than they had imagined. If they had a choice, they would rather not have met him.
"Now, where should we go?" Su Suiqian looked at the remaining people and asked.
"Fairy Su, please wait a moment."
Lei Yuce said as he turned his wrist. A metal disc engraved with many runes and scales appeared in his palm. He held it in one hand and made a sign with the other, pressing on the disc.
After a while, the disc lit up with a blurry light. There was a flame the size of a finger rising from it. As if it was being pulled by an invisible force, it moved slightly to the side.
Seeing this, everyone, including Su Suiqian, was slightly startled. Jin Liu's eyes lit up slightly.
Lei Yuce looked in the direction of the flame for a moment. He turned his palm and put away the disc. He pointed in the direction of the flame and said,
"Let's go this way."
"Fellow Lei, what is this?" Su Suiqian frowned.
Lei Yuce heard this and hesitated for a moment.
He then explained, "It is a small magic weapon that has a slight connection with the Magic Lamp of Time. Following the direction it points, it will definitely not go wrong."
Su Suiqian glanced at the direction Lei Yuce wanted to go, which was quite far from Han Li's. She asked, "In that case, the direction Fellow Shi is going is definitely wrong?"
"Do you remember the fork in the road when we first entered the Secret Territory?" Lei Yuce asked.
"You mean … different roads leading to the same destination?" Su Suiqian asked.
"I don't know whether Fellow Shi is going the right way or not. Perhaps we will reach the same destination in the end." Lei Yuce nodded and said so.
Su Miaqian looked at Lei Yuce and nodded thoughtfully.
"There's no time to lose. Now that we have a direction, let's go," Wen Zhong reminded.
…
In the Golden Desert, not only was his Divine Sense greatly disturbed, but his flying speed was also greatly suppressed, which made Han Li feel a little uncomfortable.
Han Li glanced at Xiong Shan, who was following him, and said, "Fellow Xiong Shan, no matter what purpose you have for following me, I have to remind you not to do anything unnecessary. Han doesn't want to kill you again."
"Please don't blame me, Friend Han. Our encounter this time is really a joke of fate. If it weren't for Prison Lord Qimozi suddenly transferring me out, I'm afraid I would be either on duty in the immortal prison or in seclusion in my cave abode. I don't want to come out until I reach the late-stage of Primordial Immortal," Xiong Shan quickly explained.
"Oh? Why do I have to reach the late-stage of Primordial Immortal?" Han Li asked, raising his eyebrows.
"I thought that with the help of the Immortal Palace, I could reach the late-stage of Primordial Immortal before you, and then come to settle the score with you.
But when we really met, I gave up, and I'm afraid I'll never have the chance, "Xiong Shan said with a wry smile.
"Let's not talk about other things first. How did you know my identity?" Han Li stared at Xiong Shan and asked.
"Friend Han, you should have fought with Prison Lord Qimozi not long ago, right?" Xiong Shan asked.
"Yes.
In that case, when we fought before, he should have left some kind of mark on me, right? "Han Li asked.
"Friend Han is really smart.
After Prison Lord Qimozi knew that Friend Han is good at changing his identity with the Samsara Temple's mask, he decided to leave a mark on you when he fought with you again, so that he can track you down later, "Xiong Shan said with a nod.
"Sect Fellow Xiong, you'd better make it clear. What kind of mark is it that even I can't detect?" Han Li asked doubtfully.
"This mark will not emit any spiritual fluctuations, so it can't be tracked from a distance. It can only be sensed by a small seal when the distance is very close," Xiong Shan said, turning his hand to take out a willow-leaf-sized jade amulet, and handed it to Han Li respectfully.
Han Li took the jade amulet, and found that there was no unusual light flashing on it, only bursts of scorching heat coming from it. He then understood.
"Since you've discovered my identity, shouldn't you be inferior to me? Why do you still follow me?" Han Li put away the jade amulet and asked again.
"Well … First, I feel that it's safer to follow you, and maybe I can get some benefits that you don't like.
Second, I want to meet Prison Lord Qimozi in the future. If he sees me by your side, I can be considered as loyal to him, "Xiong Shan said after a slight hesitation.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you again?" Han Li suddenly narrowed his eyes and said.
"You've already killed me once, so all grudges should be written off. This time, I didn't take the initiative to be your enemy, so I believe you can distinguish between kindness and hatred and won't kill the innocent.
Taking a step back, dying in your hands is also my own choice. It's better than dying in this tower for no reason. "Xiong Shan's back was covered in cold sweat, but he forced himself to calm down.
"Then please remember what you've just said, Fellow Daoist Xiong Shan. If I catch you doing anything out of the ordinary in the future, then don't blame me for being merciless," Han Li chuckled coldly.
Actually, if it was any other time, he would absolutely not allow Xiong Shan to follow behind him like this. If Xiong Shan followed him like this, he would have killed him on the spot without hesitation a long time ago. However, Qi Mozi's whereabouts were unknown, so he left Xiong Shan behind for the time being. He wanted to see what exactly Xiong Shan was planning, and he wanted to use this opportunity to lure Qi Mozi out to avoid any future troubles.
"Friend Han only needs to move his pinky finger to kill me on the spot. I will not do something so unwise." Xiong Shan quickly waved his hand.
As they spoke, Jiao San and Hu San caught up.
"Brother Han, why don't you tell us what you found on the other side?" Jiao San asked.
"Yes!
Although your choices are usually not wrong, if you had informed us beforehand, we would have been more prepared. That way, we would be able to take care of each other in case of an emergency, "Fox Three chimed in.
"I just sensed a familiar yet unfamiliar aura, so I wanted to go and have a look. There's actually no need for you to come with me," Han Li replied in a noncommittal manner.
"Forget it. At least you have a direction. Maybe it's the right way." Jiao San said after thinking for a while.
Thus, under Han Li's guidance, the group flew along the way.
Flying above the desert, one could see huge golden skeletons buried in the desert from time to time.
However, they only used their divine sense to scan the skeletons. When they didn't find anything noteworthy, they ignored them.
"It's over there …"
After flying for about four hours, Han Li saw a blurry silhouette at the end of his vision. The silhouette reflected golden light, and it looked like a majestic palace.
The aura that he had sensed just now had also become more and more obvious.
When Hu San and Jiao San heard this, their spirits rose.
The group flew for another hundred or so kilometers before they could finally see clearly. In front of them was a grand hall made of golden sand. Huge golden curved horns could be seen everywhere for decoration. Clearly, they were the remains of some kind of strange beast.
On the roof of the golden palace, there was a Young Man in a golden robe lying on the roof.
He was quite handsome, but he had a lazy expression on his face. He held a round golden skull in his hand, and he tossed it up and down in boredom.
The skull was much larger than a normal human's skull. It seemed to be the skull of some foreign race. However, it seemed that it had been played with for too long, and its surface was very smooth.
The Young Man tossed the golden skull up again and caught it. He used his elbow to support himself on the roof and stood up. He looked at Han Li and the others, who were dozens of miles away. He squinted his eyes and licked his lips.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement in front of his chest, and a palm-sized golden lizard crawled out from his collar. It stood on his shoulder and also looked over.
"It really is …" Han Li narrowed his eyes and a serious expression appeared on his face.
"Brother Han, do you know this person?" Jiao San asked.
"It's not wrong to say that I know him. He is the famous Golden Devourer." Han Li nodded and said.
"What? Judging from his aura, he's already at the Grand Luo Realm. The strength of a Golden Devouring Immortal at this level isn't something an ordinary Grand Luo Realm cultivator can compare to. This is going to be troublesome."
"Ai, Fellow Daoist Han, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have gone with you." Xiong Shan lamented.
Jiao San did not say anything. His eyes flickered as if he was thinking about how to deal with the situation.
Without waiting for Han Li to say anything, the Young Man flashed and appeared a few hundred feet away. He floated in the air and looked at them with interest.
Han Li and the others wore tense expressions as they carefully guarded themselves against the incoming attack.
"You don't have to be so nervous. I won't kill you immediately …" The Young Man said with a grin.
After saying that, he took down the golden lizard from his shoulder and raised it high in his hand. He then said again, "I'm not afraid.
He said, "Staying in the prison is too boring. This golden lizard was the only one to keep me company in the past million years.
Since you are here, stay and let me have some fun. "
As soon as he finished speaking, he casually tossed the golden lizard in his hand, and a piercing sound immediately rang out.
The golden lizard shot out like a golden shuttle and went straight for Jiao San.
Jiao San did not move, but a dark red light lit up in front of him and formed an invisible light screen.
The golden lizard plunged into the light screen like an arrow and left a deep mark on the light screen. It was only an inch away from Jiao San's eyebrows.
But immediately afterward, ripples appeared on the light curtain, and suddenly, a dark red light wave bounced up, directly bouncing the Golden Lizard away.
At this moment, Han Li suddenly shouted, "Be careful …"
