Han Li recognized the two people who appeared before him as Shi Chuankong and the strange thief "Hu San" from the Reincarnation Palace, but he did not relax his vigilance in the slightest.

However, he didn't say anything more, but turned his gaze to Immortal Hotfire, because at this moment, Shi Chuankong and Hu San's gazes were also focused on Immortal Hotfire.

"Who are you?" Immortal Hotfire's body flashed with light, his gaze swept over the silver fox, and landed on Shi Chuankong, he asked.

"My name is Shi Chuankong. I don't think Fellow Daoist has heard of me. But it doesn't matter, Fellow Daoist Hotfire just needs to know our purpose in finding you." Shi Chuankong bowed slightly and said with a smile.

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Han Li, a hint of doubt flashing in the depths of his eyes.

"It's you... At the Jade Kun Tower auction the other day, you competed with me for treasures quite a bit. You have a very rich family fortune." The black-robed youth raised an eyebrow and said with a chuckle.

"The famous 'Silver Fox' Thief, wouldn't be one to fuss over such a small matter, right?" Han Li smiled and said naturally.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist is overthinking it. We are here to find Fellow Daoist Hotfire today." Hu San laughed and said.

"What business do you have with me?" The wariness in Immortal Hotfire's eyes grew more intense, and his figure unconsciously moved slightly towards Han Li.

"To be frank, Fellow Daoist, you should be very clear about our purpose in finding you." Shi Chuankong's gaze returned to Immortal Hotfire, he said.

Upon hearing this, Han Li's gaze shifted slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of doubt when he looked at Immortal Hotfire.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Since we have no grievances in the past, it's best to go our separate ways. Fellow Daoist Li, let's go..." Immortal Hotfire said with an unchanged expression.

"Fellow Daoist Hotfire, after so many years, don't you want to return to your sect to take a look?" Hu San suddenly raised his voice a bit, he said.

"You... What's the point of going back? It's just ruins and rubble. I just don't understand, the past is like smoke, why are you unwilling to let it go?" Immortal Hotfire paused upon hearing this, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again.

Although Han Li was confused by what he heard, he could tell that these two people had no malicious intent, so he put away the long sword in his hand.

"Fellow Daoist Hotfire, it's not that we're unwilling to let go, it's that the Heavenly Court is still pursuing us relentlessly. Why is the Fireleaf Sect being monitored by the Immortal Palace? Why is the Idlecloud Mountain in such chaos? I think you should be clearer than us." Hu San sighed after hearing this.

Han Li's heart stirred again upon hearing this.

No wonder Immortal Hotfire had repeatedly reminded him not to use the identity of the Fireleaf Sect elder. It seemed that there were many secrets involved.

Although he had guessed as much, he could now basically confirm that Yu Ziqi's attack was also due to him.

"Who exactly are you people? I hope you will tell me." Immortal Hotfire said after a moment of silence.

"To be honest with Fellow Daoist Hotfire, I am from the Reincarnation Palace, and this Fellow Daoist Shi is from the Devil Territory." Hu San blinked his eyes and said.

"What? Even the Demon Clan has chosen to ally with your Reincarnation Palace?" Immortal Hotfire said with some surprise.

"Fellow Daoist Hotfire is thinking too much. I, Shi Chuankong, am just an unknown nobody. How could I represent the entire Demon Clan? The reason why I am here today is partly because I was invited by Hu San, and partly because I am curious about what happened to the True Word Sect back then. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Hotfire can enlighten me?" Shi Chuankong smiled and said.

When he heard the three words "True Word Sect," Han Li's face was expressionless, but his heart was shaken.

He was no stranger to this sect, not only because the *True Word Mantra Incantation* he cultivated came from this sect, but also because his previous soul穿越 was to this sect.

In addition, Shi Chuankong's words were a bit too light. How could a guy who controlled the Space Laws, one of the three supreme laws, be just an unknown nobody in the Demon Clan?

"When the True Word Sect was destroyed, I happened to be out on a mission under my master's orders and was trapped in a desperate ruin. When I finally managed to escape, it was already nearly a thousand years later. But at that time, the remaining elders and disciples of the sect had all become wanted criminals of the Heavenly Court, and I had no choice but to shave my bones and change my appearance and flee to another place. I also want to know the reason for the sect's changes. Otherwise, I wouldn't have risked coming to the Black Mountain Immortal Territory and creating the Fireleaf Sect to cover my tracks." Immortal Hotfire sighed and said.

"So, Fellow Daoist Hotfire has been living in seclusion in Idlecloud Mountain, also to hide your tracks?" Han Li suddenly asked.

"That's not entirely the case. The reason why I spend most of my time in Wild Crane Valley is also because I get along well with Fellow Daoist Duan and the others, but I didn't expect that even Idlecloud Mountain would be implicated by me." A hint of guilt appeared in Immortal Hotfire's eyes.

"Fellow Daoist doesn't need to blame yourself. The Immortal Palace has wanted to attack Idlecloud Mountain for more than a day or two. The main reason is to clear out the forces of our Reincarnation Palace hidden within it." Hu San smiled and said.

Han Li's heart stirred again upon hearing this.

"I have one thing I don't understand. One of our fellow daoists in the valley was attacked and seriously injured. I don't know if it was done by your Reincarnation Palace or by the people of the Immortal Palace?" Han Li changed the subject and asked.

"Are you talking about the one on Purewind Cliff? The person who injured him was a sissy-looking guy holding a red umbrella. He didn't look like someone from the Black Mountain Immortal Palace, but more like a subordinate of the Monitoring Immortal Envoy." Hu San looked at Han Li and said.

"So, the person who saved him was you?" Han Li raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I thought that kid had some backbone. He would rather explode his sea of consciousness than be soul-searched, so I helped him out. But, I didn't expect that you could actually save him. I'm impressed, I'm impressed." Hu San stroked his chin and said with a bit of admiration.

"Hu San, you're getting a bit off track. Let's get down to business first." At this time, Shi Chuankong suddenly cleared his throat and reminded him.

"Hehe, I'm at it again. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Hotfire? Since the Heavenly Court has already found your trail, you won't be able to live in peace in the future. Why not ally with us and go together to find the True Word Sect ruins? Afterwards, I can recommend you to join our Reincarnation Palace and be protected by the Reincarnation Palace. What do you think?" Hu San chuckled and asked again.

Immortal Hotfire hesitated upon hearing this, not rushing to agree.

"The True Word Sect ruins are certainly difficult to find, but it's not like we can't do it without Fellow Daoist's participation. If there are really difficulties, we won't force you. But the people of the Heavenly Court may not be as easy to talk to as we are." Shi Chuankong said with a smile.

"What Fellow Daoist Shi said is true. The people of the Heavenly Court will definitely pursue you relentlessly. You may not be able to escape next time. Don't you also want to unravel the mystery of the destruction of the True Word Sect back then? Our cooperation is definitely a win-win situation." Hu San continued to persuade him.

Han Li watched the two of them taking turns playing the good cop and the bad cop, sneering in his heart, but he didn't say much, after all, this matter had nothing to do with him.

"To take a step back, you don't want the *Grand Five Elements World Illusion Sutra* left by Ancestor Mi Luo to be taken away by the people of the Heavenly Court, do you?" When Hu San said these words, it was like a heavy hammer hitting Immortal Hotfire's heart, causing his pupils to dilate.

"Don't be so surprised. They have very well-informed information in the Reincarnation Palace. One of the main reasons why the Heavenly Court has always wanted to enter the True Word Sect ruins is this *Grand Five Elements World Illusion Sutra*." Shi Chuankong said with a smile.

"What about you? Isn't your purpose also this cultivation method?" Immortal Hotfire asked with a sneer.

"Rather than saying that our purpose is to obtain this cultivation method, it's more like we don't want it to fall into the hands of the Heavenly Court. In any case, our interests are consistent on this level." Hu San did not deny it, but said with a smile.

"Alright! I agree to ally with you." Immortal Hotfire nodded after a long silence.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Hotfire, that's the wise thing to do. I like talking to smart people." Hu San clapped his hands after hearing this.

"Wait! If you want me to join, you have to agree to one condition." At this time, Immortal Hotfire suddenly said.

"Please speak, Fellow Daoist." Hu San raised an eyebrow and said.

"Fellow Daoist Li killed a member of the Immortal Palace to save me this time, and I've already dragged him into this mess, so this action must include him." Immortal Hotfire looked at Han Li and said.

"This..." Hu San hesitated upon hearing this.

"Hu San, I don't think it matters. Through our observation these past few days, we can see that this Fellow Daoist Li is not from the Heavenly Court. It's okay to invite him to join." Shi Chuankong suddenly said.

"Since Brother Shi has said so, then please, Fellow Daoist Li, come with us." Hu San nodded and said.

"Thank you for your kindness, everyone. I saved Fellow Daoist Hotfire because we know each other, and also to repay the kindness of being an elder of the sect. I'm not really interested in the True Word Sect ruins you mentioned. I won't join in on this excitement." Han Li suddenly clasped his fists slightly and said.

The other three showed a hint of surprise upon hearing this.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you may not know how vast the power of the Reincarnation Palace is. If you travel with them on this journey, you can use their resources and strength to avoid a lot of trouble, and even leave the Black Mountain Immortal Territory safely. Even if you don't want to go to the True Word Sect ruins, it's okay to follow them to a safe place and then separate." Immortal Hotfire said to Han Li with a worried expression, transmitting his voice.

"Fellow Daoist Hotfire, you know that I am currently troubled by the Sha Decay Tribulation. Dealing with this matter is already exhausting me, and I really don't have the energy to deal with other things. The pursuit of the Immortal Palace is mainly on you. As long as I am careful, there won't be any big trouble. I won't participate in this matter." Han Li didn't transmit his voice, but spoke directly.

He naturally knew very well how strong the power of the Reincarnation Palace was. He could also hear that Immortal Hotfire was indeed doing it for his own good.

However, his current mind was focused on how to get rid of the evil aura, and he was not very interested in exploring the ruins. It was only because it was the True Word Sect ruins that he hesitated, but after more consideration, he decided not to wade into this muddy water.
