At the same time, a crimson escape light sped off into the distance, disappearing into the distance in a flash.
Within the escape light, it was a square-faced man. At the moment, his face was full of fear.
Han Li did not even retract his fist. With a flash of silver lightning, he disappeared from where he was.
Rumble!
Several loud noises came from the distant horizon. An incomparably dazzling light erupted there. After a few flashes, everything returned to normal, and the originally speeding red escape light also disappeared.
Not far away, Lu Yuqing saw this scene. Her beautiful eyes widened, as if she had not yet reacted to the sudden turn of events in front of her.
After a few breaths, a ray of azure light flew back, and Han Li's figure appeared.
Lu Yuqing looked at the ordinary-looking Han Li in front of her. The expression on her face was somewhat complicated, as if she did not know what to say.
"Miss Lu, your father is still waiting for you. Let's go," Han Li said.
Hearing this, Lu Yuqing silently turned to look in the direction of Red Moon Island. There seemed to be some hesitation in her expression.
"The people of Green Feather Island nearby may not only be those two people.
As for the matter of your Elder Brother, I believe your father will handle it well, "Han Li said slowly.
"How do you know …" Lu Yuqing's beautiful eyes widened.
"Before we set off to save you, your father already told us these things," Han Li explained.
"You?" Lu Yuqing was taken aback.
"In addition to me, there are more than a dozen other people looking for you. It's just that I was lucky and happened to be nearby.
In order to bring you back safely, your father paid a great price, "Han Li said with a normal expression.
"Alright, I'll go back with you," Lu Yuqing sighed softly and said faintly.
…
In the sky above a boundless sea, two rays of rainbow light traveled together. Their speed was extremely fast, and in a flash, they were hundreds of miles away.
A man and a woman appeared in the light. One was dressed in a green robe, while the other was dressed in snow-white robes. They were Han Li and Lu Yuqing.
Lu Yuqing's face was slightly pale. She turned her head to look at Han Li, who was slightly faster than her by half a body's length. She seemed to want to say something, but stopped herself.
"Don't worry.
We're almost at Wu Song Island. There's a teleportation formation there that leads back to Blackwind Island. "Han Li didn't look at her, but he spoke words of comfort.
"Okay … Thank you, Brother Liu." The girl nodded slightly.
She had already suffered some injuries earlier. Although she had taken some pills to recuperate for a while, the continuous journey over the past few days had consumed a lot of energy. In the end, she could not take it anymore.
Han Li waved his hand and didn't say anything.
In fact, in order to take care of this woman, he had deliberately slowed down his flying speed. After all, he didn't have a suitable flying magic treasure to take this woman with him.
Just as the two of them flew forward for less than a thousand miles and flew over an archipelago, Han Li frowned slightly.
He stopped and said, "Wait a minute."
Lu Yuqing was startled. Her almond-shaped mouth opened slightly, wanting to ask something.
As a result, the woman hadn't even finished speaking when three streaks of light suddenly appeared at the end of the distant horizon. They were rushing towards them.
"This is …"
Lu Yuqing was shocked. Just as she was about to cry out, she saw that Han Li had unknowingly used his hands to block in front of her. He looked calm and unhurried. She couldn't help but feel slightly relieved.
The three streaks of light stopped a few hundred feet away from the two of them. After the light faded, two men and a woman appeared.
The man in the lead was a burly man. Behind him was a young woman with a black veil over her face and a thin Youth.
These three people were the Three Evils of Shaoshan that Han Li had previously seen in the Hall of Talismans.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist, you've worked hard. Leave Miss Lu to us.
For the rest of the journey, we will escort her safely back to Blackwind Island. "
The burly man's gaze fell on the white-clothed young woman behind Han Li. He couldn't hide the joy on his face as he spoke with a smile.
"What do you Fellow Daoists mean?" Han Li's expression was normal as he asked in a slightly puzzled tone.
"Brat, if you know what's good for you, then don't ask so many questions. While we're still in a good mood, immediately get out of this area of the sea." The thin Youth laughed as he spoke.
"Let me give you a word of advice. Although the conditions promised by Island Master Lu are very tempting, you must be alive to take them." The young woman with the black veil also seemed to be pointing out something as she spoke.
"I found Miss Lu first. Don't you Fellow Daoists think this is a bit too much?" Han Li's eyebrows slightly raised as he spoke with a faint smile.
"Too much?
It seems a bit … Since Fellow Daoist has said so, then stay here as well. We will be responsible for sending you home. "
The burly man's face suddenly darkened as he spoke in a cold voice. He especially emphasized the word "home".
Hearing this, Han Li's expression didn't change at all. However, the white-clothed young woman behind him still stood up after a moment of hesitation.
"Three Seniors, can you not make things difficult for Brother Liu?
There may be twists and turns on the way back. Why don't the three of you cooperate with Brother Liu and escort me back together?
When the time comes, I will definitely ask my father to give the three of you the same reward. "Lu Yuqing deliberated over her words and said so.
Hearing this, the burly man's face showed a hint of hesitation as if he was considering the feasibility of this matter.
The young woman with the black veil on her face remained silent, and no change in her expression could be seen.
Just when the girl thought that her words had an effect, the lean young man suddenly revealed a sly expression and said, "Don't worry.
"Although the merit of rescuing and escorting is great, the reward is limited after all. Of course, one less person will get more benefits."
Hearing this, the burly man's eyebrows slightly raised as a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, Han Li could not help but reach out to touch his chin.
Just at this moment, Lu Yuqing's voice suddenly sounded in Han Li's mind, "Brother Liu, a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. Retreat for now. When we return to Blackwind Island, I will naturally report the truth to my father."
"Island Lord Lu's mission was only to find you or bring you back safely. He didn't ask for you to be brought back from someone.
So even if they kill me and bring you back, it will be considered as completing the mission. Your father will have no choice but to admit it.
Moreover, when the time comes, what's done cannot be undone. Your father will not pursue the matter of three Itinerant Immortals for a stranger like me. "Han Li turned his head and smiled at the woman as he shook his head.
Hearing this, Lu Yuqing could not help but be stunned on the spot. It was obvious that she had not thought of this before.
"Moreover, the three of them did not intend to let me go from the beginning.
The Three Evils of Shaoshan, am I right? "Han Li looked at the three of them and raised his voice as he asked.
"Tsk tsk, I originally did not want to make a move in front of Young Lady Lu, but now it seems that it is impossible." The burly man no longer pretended to hesitate and openly admitted.
Hearing this, Lu Yuqing's expression finally turned ugly. She took a step forward and blocked in front of Han Li. She opened her mouth and said,
"Brother Liu has saved my life. If you must kill him, you will have to go through me first."
Hearing this, the burly man and the other two people immediately showed a trace of surprise on their faces.
Looking at the slender figure in front of him, Han Li could not help but be slightly moved.
"I do not have the habit of hiding behind a woman …" He stretched out his hand and patted the girl's shoulder. He gently pulled her behind him and spoke with his back facing her.
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared from where he was standing.
In the next instant, a flash of silver lightning appeared behind the lean Youth with a hissing sound. Then, it exploded with a "boom".
A silver lightning net that was more than a hundred feet wide instantly spread out. Countless thin arcs of electricity scattered in all directions. A blurry green shadow suddenly pierced through it.
A blood-curdling scream resounded from within the lightning. A silhouette wrapped in black ice crystals rushed out of the silver light and landed beside the burly man.
"Third Brother …"
The burly man and the black-veiled young woman were both shocked. Clearly, they did not expect Han Li to be so decisive in his attack. Moreover, his speed was extremely fast.
In the blink of an eye, it had already struck the lean young man.
Lu Yuqing was also quite shocked by this scene. She was stunned on the spot. However, when she thought about the strength that Han Li had displayed before, her mood somewhat calmed down.
"Crack crack crack …"
The sound of ice crystals shattering and falling could be heard. The figure of the lean Youth reappeared. His whole body was charred black and his clothes were tattered. There were also wisps of black smoke coming out of his head. He looked quite miserable.
The Youth raised his hand and put a few pills into his mouth. He revealed a mouthful of white teeth and said while gnashing his teeth, "Big Brother, Second Sister, don't kill him so easily later. I want to skin him and cover him with a new drum!"
After saying that, he waved his hand. Immediately, a black light flashed in front of him and a black drum the size of a small urn appeared.
The drum was round and covered with a layer of yellow drum skin. At first glance, there was nothing strange about it. However, if one looked closely, they could not help but feel a little creeped out.
There was actually an old face next to the drum. Its eye sockets and mouth were empty. It looked like a face that had been completely peeled off.
Seeing this, Han Li slightly frowned. He turned his wrist and a long black sword immediately appeared in his hand.
He pointed the tip of his foot in the void and swung the sword down at the lean Youth.
Suddenly, hundreds of dazzling black sword shadows appeared in the void. They smashed down like stormy waves crashing on the shore.
"Clang …"
At this moment, there was a sudden crisp sound of knocking in the air.
A wave of ripples that could not be seen by the naked eye rippled in the void. It turned into a continuous stream of Yin energy that directly shattered the black sword shadows and canceled each other out.
It was unknown when the burly man had appeared in front of the lean Youth. He was holding a greenish-black ancient bell in one hand and a copper pestle carved with a strange beast's head in the other.
