Encounter
As soon as the Nascent Soul was enveloped by the fragrant mist, it felt dizzy and powerless. After being pierced by the silver light at lightning speed, the essence energy in its body condensed and it lost all its abilities. Even if it wanted to self-destruct, it could not.
The Nascent Soul’s small face turned pale in an instant. It stared at the white-clothed young woman beside Han Li in disbelief.
“Not bad! You’re becoming more and more agile.” Although he had sent Silvermoon a voice transmission to secretly attack, Han Li still praised the young woman with a smile.
Silvermoon pursed her lips and said with a smile, “This is all because Master asked me to act at the right time. This person only wanted to escape, so he didn’t notice that what I left behind was only a phantom. My true body had already snuck to the side.” Then, she waved her sleeve at the other Silvermoon beside Han Li, which instantly dissipated into a ball of white light.
Han Li smiled and did not say anything else. However, the huge golden net that was enshrouded nearby turned back into a ball of golden lightning and flew into his hand, disappearing without a trace.
As for the Aureate Sword Formation, Han Li transformed it into 36 flying swords with a thought. They shrank and flew into his sleeve.
Only then did Han Li calmly look at the Nascent Soul.
The black-robed youth’s Nascent Soul wanted to curse out loud in fear, but it was too weak to even open its mouth.
“Silvermoon, bring him to the forest over there and start searching for a way to dissolve the Soul Seal Curse,” Han Li said coldly with a dark expression. Then, he soared into the air and flew alone into the dense forest on the other side.
“Yes, Master,” Silvermoon replied respectfully. She picked up the Nascent Soul and lightly followed after him.
Not long after, a large amount of pink fragrant mist emerged from the dense forest, enveloping the entire forest.
…
Hundreds of kilometers away from the island where Han Li and the black-robed young man were fighting, there were six streaks of light of different colors flying toward the island.
The person in the lead had a solemn expression. He was none other than the silver-haired old man from the Drifting Cloud Sect.
“Fellow Daoist Cheng, your senses aren’t wrong, are they? That teleportation formation looks quite crude, but it can actually teleport people so far away. It is truly inconceivable.” A fat old man with a brandy nose suddenly asked.
The silver-haired old man replied with certainty, “There is no mistake. I can clearly sense that Junior Brother Han is not far away. Fellow Daoists must be careful. That person is at least a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. Although we have many people, we are all early-Nascent Soul cultivators. We must be careful when dealing with this devil cultivator.”
Child Fire Dragon chuckled and said, “Don’t worry. This time, Brother You has brought the sect’s most precious treasure, the Immortal Bewitching Bell. Even if we can’t defeat that person, we’ll have no problem escaping.”
When the silver-haired old man heard this, he glanced at another grey-robed old man and gratefully said, “That’s true. If it weren’t for Brother You’s assistance, I wouldn’t have dared to take this risk. After all, if that devilish cultivator is the Yin Sifting Sect’s Master, we would be in grave danger.”
The grey-robed old man smiled and politely said, “It’s nothing. Brother Cheng has done me a great favor in the past. I will naturally do my best. Furthermore, the Yin Sifting Sect’s devil cultivator dares to infiltrate our State of Xi and injure others. He doesn’t take us seriously at all. Naturally, we have to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, do you really think there is no one in the cultivation world of our State of Xi?”
“However, I am quite curious about your sect’s Fellow Daoist Han. I heard that Brother Cheng’s Junior Brother displayed extraordinary brilliance in the battle against the Moulans. He was able to turn the tides of the battle. I greatly admire him and wish to befriend him.” A large man with a dignified appearance and imposing aura laughed and interrupted.
The old man chuckled and said, “That’s right. I’ve recently heard of Fellow Daoist Han who carries resounding reputation. I also wish to meet him.”
The silver-haired old man revealed a worried expression, and said, “That’s easy. After I help Junior Brother Han resolve this matter, I will introduce him to everyone. However, I am somewhat worried about Junior Brother Han’s current safety. That devilish cultivator is quite cunning. He actually thought of a temporary transportation formation to escape us. Now that so much time has passed and Junior Brother Han has been fighting alone, will something happen to him?”
“Don’t worry. Since that person schemed to escape us, his cultivation must be low. Otherwise, why would he be so careful? With Fellow Daoist Han’s cultivation, he won’t suffer any losses,” said the large man bluntly.
The silver-haired old man bitterly smiled and said, “Let’s hope that it’s true.”
He knew very well that with the abilities of the devil cultivator who had barged into the Drifting Cloud Sect that day, even if he wasn’t a late-Nascent Soul cultivator, he was still a top-grade mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. How could he be so easy to deal with? He didn’t want anything to happen to the Drifting Cloud Sect immediately after they had a powerful elder.
Fortunately, as long as he could sense the existence of the tracking mark, it meant that Han Li’s life was not in danger. Only then could he feel more at ease.
As the six Nascent Soul cultivators spoke, they traveled over 50 kilometers and slowly approached the small island. All of them wore solemn expressions.
“Huh!” The silver-haired old man yelped in surprise and came to a sudden stop.
“Brother Cheng, what happened?” Someone asked curiously.
“Junior Brother Han seems to be moving in this direction. I don’t know if he’s already resolved the matter or if he’s been…” The silver-haired old man didn’t finish his sentence, but the others naturally understood what he meant. If the guy was captured alive, the mark would similarly fly in their direction.
Old Man You calmly said, “Let’s make some preparations. If something happens to Fellow Daoist Han, we will save him.” He then slapped his storage pouch and took out a small yellow bell. He gently lifted it and silently looked ahead.
The others glanced at one another before solemnly taking out their treasures and preparing for battle.
The silver-haired old man wore a gloomy expression and a trace of anxiety appeared in his eyes.
A short moment later, everyone saw an azure ball flash in the distance as a streak of azure light tore through the air.
When the silver-haired old man saw this, he immediately let out a long sigh and beamed with joy, “It’s Junior Brother Han. He’s fine.”
When the other cultivators saw this, they revealed astonished expressions.
Since Han Li was fine, could it be that he had dealt with that devil cultivator alone?
Just as the other cultivators were puzzled, they saw that the green light was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of them. The light receded, revealing a green-robed youth. It was Han Li himself.
“Senior Brother Cheng, Fellow Daoist Fire Dragon, you’ve also arrived. These must be Fellow Daoists who are helping me. I’m truly grateful for troubling you Fellow Daoists to come out to search for me.” Han Li’s brows were tightly furrowed as if he had a lot of worries on his mind. However, when he saw the silver-haired old man and the others, he forced a smile and cupped his fists, expressing his gratitude.
“Fellow Daoist Han must be joking. We came a little late and didn’t help much at all. I’m really ashamed!” Old Man You carefully sized up Han Li and immediately said humbly, not daring to be arrogant.
The other cultivators seemed to be led by the grey-robed old man, and they all looked at Han Li with a smile.
The silver-haired old man looked behind Han Li and did not see any pursuers. He could not help but ask, “Junior Brother Han, where is that devilish cultivator? Could it be that you escaped?”
“I’ve already exterminated that person. I’ve also dissolved his Nascent Soul. However, this person is not the Yin Sifting Sect’s Master, but an elder of the sect,” Han Li said indifferently.
When the silver-haired old man heard this, he said with disbelief, “What? He was truly killed by Junior Brother? Although he wasn’t a late-Nascent Soul cultivator, he should’ve been a mid-Nascent Soul demonic cultivator. Junior Brother, you were able to kill him?”
When Old Man You, Child Fire Dragon, and the others heard this, they also revealed astonished expressions.
Although they didn’t seem to care about the devil cultivator on the way, since they knew that he was able to injure an early-Nascent Soul cultivator in the Drifting Cloud Sect before easily escaping, they naturally knew that this devil cultivator was no small matter. If it weren’t for the fact that Cultivator You had brought the Immortal Bewitching Bell, they really wouldn’t have dared to interfere in this matter.
However, now that they heard that Han Li had killed that devil cultivator alone and even destroyed his Nascent Soul, they were naturally very shocked.
“I was just lucky. I happened to be able to restrain his cultivation technique,” Han Li said vaguely. Then, after a moment of silence, he raised his hand and threw a black item at the silver-haired old man.
The old man unconsciously took the item, and it was extremely cold. Upon closer inspection, he saw a pitch-black command medallion that was densely covered in talismans and incantations. At the center of the medallion was the ancient character “Luo”.
“What is that?” The silver-haired old man had a rough guess, but he still couldn’t help but ask.
“This was left behind by the demonic cultivator. It’s the Yin Sifting Sect’s elder token. It’s also a rather powerful ancient treasure. With this item, we’ll be able to verify his identity,” Han Li said calmly with a slight smile.
When everyone heard this, they turned to look at the command medallion, and they naturally saw that it was extraordinary, so they no longer had any doubts.
Following that, the others could not help but ask about the details of the battle. Han Li casually skipped it. When the others saw that he did not want to say much, they tactfully did not ask anything else.
However, they all had the intention of befriending Han Li.
After all, Han Li was a cultivator who could even kill mid-Nascent Soul demonic cultivators. His abilities were beyond imagination. Befriending him would be beneficial to both their sect and themselves.
Since these people were here to help him, Han Li was naturally very polite. The group of people chatted happily as they returned.
Along the way, Han Li and the silver-haired old man bade farewell to the few cultivators and returned to the Drifting Cloud Sect on Dreamcloud Mountain.
In a side hall of the sect’s meeting hall, the old man finally asked the question in his heart, “Junior Brother Han, did you find a way to dissolve the Soul Seal Curse this time? I saw that you seemed to have a lot on your mind along the way, and you seemed to be forcing yourself to smile. Could it be that you didn’t achieve your goal on this trip?”
