“Judging by your expression, you seem to recognize this great general under my command?” A Jiu You Clan Da Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the giant ape that Han Li had transformed into, and said slowly.

“What have you done to him?” Han Li frowned and asked.

“So, you really do know each other… Speaking of which, he wasn't as lucky as those two fellows under the bridge. When he arrived here, he had already been torn apart by the power of space. I simply picked up his corpse and modified it a little. He's quite lonely now, and I was just planning to find him a companion!” The Jiu You Clan Da Luo revealed a helpless expression, spreading his hands as he spoke.

“He actually perished…” Han Li was slightly stunned, muttering to himself.

“Actually, you don't have to be sad, because you will soon be just like him, becoming one of my subordinates! How about it, does the thought excite you a little?” The Jiu You Clan Da Luo suddenly laughed maniacally.

Just as his voice fell, a loud “boom” suddenly came from underground!

The black karma fire in the fire pool surged like a tide, suddenly churning violently. Then, a huge wave of fire surged up, engulfing most of Han Li's body.

Han Li felt a baleful aura a hundred times more intense than before enveloping his body. At this moment, an almost uncontrollable impulse suddenly surged in his mind, which had been forcibly stabilized by the Refining Soul Technique. It was as if countless wild horses were galloping wildly in his heart, impacting his soul.

An inexplicable heat enveloped his soul and fiercely tempered it.

Although he barely maintained a trace of clarity and continued to urge the Refining Soul Technique, he was greatly horrified.

“A mere Golden Immortal, yet his soul is so powerful. This is truly interesting. I'd like to see how long you can last?” The Jiu You Clan Da Luo put his hands behind his back, a hint of amusement on his face as he spoke.

Han Li desperately guarded his mind while struggling to withstand the oppression of the black giant seal. His face was pale, and the surface of his furry arms was covered in earthworm-like veins. A cracking sound came from within his body.

However, his mind raced as his eyes darted around. He suddenly saw two figures rushing out from under the pool on the other side of the fire pool. One of them was Mo Guang.

However, Mo Guang's situation was also quite bad, and his appearance was somewhat disheveled.

He was being held out of the karma fire pool by a girl who was not even half his height, with her hand locked around his throat.

However, there was a hint of a smile on his face. It was unclear whether he was fearless or just pretending to be calm.

Han Li glanced at the girl's back. He saw that she was wearing a scarlet half-length cloak, which was very different from the gray and black tones of the Jiu You Clan people and looked very conspicuous.

As the saying goes, no sooner said than done. Just as the two figures had just left the karma fire pool, a black light flashed on Mo Guang's body. His figure blurred slightly, and he was about to transform into black mist and dissipate. However, a circle of dark red light patterns lit up on the wrist of the girl who was grabbing his neck. It emitted a very peculiar wave, which was able to prevent him from becoming ethereal.

After the girl's figure hovered in the air, she made a stiff turn in mid-air and landed directly towards the bridgehead.

Mo Guang was being dragged in her hand, but there was not much fear on his face. He still had an indifferent smile on his face. The latter seemed very dissatisfied with his appearance and slapped him with her free hand.

There was a crisp “crack” sound.

Mo Guang's head suddenly tilted to one side, as if even his neck bones had been broken by the girl.

Seeing this, the girl casually threw him on the ground and formed a strange and obscure hand seal. With a “pop” sound, she struck it on his forehead.

A wisp of green smoke rose, and an scarlet "Forbidden" character immediately appeared on Mo Guang's forehead!

The bull-horned puppet standing behind the Jiu You Clan Da Luo immediately stepped forward and waved his hand. The black chains wrapped around his arm immediately probed out like a spirit snake. With a flash of black light, he tied up Mo Guang as well.

“Thank you, Girl You Luo, for your help.” The Jiu You Clan Da Luo's eyes flickered slightly, and he said to the girl.

“Yin Gua, your Luo Sheng District was actually breached to this point. You really have some ability.” The girl didn't care about his words of thanks and said coldly.

The latter chuckled dryly upon hearing this and did not refute.

“Do you need me to deal with the rest?” The girl named You Luo put her hands behind her back, turned around, and said with a sneer.

The girl looked very similar to the human race, with fair skin and delicate features. However, there was a black scale like a vertical eye in the center of her eyebrows, and there were also several scarlet marks under her eyelids, which looked quite exotic.

Han Li noticed that the girl's pupils were not gray-white, but black-blue, which was very similar to those of the human race. He was immediately filled with doubts. Could it be that she was not from the Gray World?

“How did even the True Spirits of the Immortal World get involved?” You Luo saw Han Li, who had transformed into a giant ape, paused slightly, and seemed a little surprised, raising her delicate eyebrows as she asked.

“It's just a human race with some True Spirit bloodline. There's no need for Girl You Luo to take action.” Yin Gua said indifferently.

The girl didn't speak upon hearing this, with an expression of indifference.

“You humans are quite interesting. Enough for me to have some fun with for a while.” Yin Gua stopped paying attention to the girl and turned his gaze back to Han Li, saying:

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it. The black square seal, which Han Li was desperately supporting, flashed with black light. The "All-Encompassing" four characters on the seal shone with a large amount of blood-colored light. The weight on it increased again, pressing down heavily.

Han Li let out a muffled groan. The Mantra Treasure Wheel suddenly returned to his body and was urged to rapidly reverse. His figure struggled to escape from the imprisonment of the strange power on the square seal.

He did not choose to retreat towards the entrance of the broken bridge. Instead, he suddenly changed direction and shot towards the entrance of the karma fire passage with all his strength.

“Presumptuous! Where do you think you're going?” Yin Gua shouted and waved his sleeve violently.

The bottom of the karma fire pool shook violently. Then, black stone pillars shot out from it, blocking his path like a cage.

In a moment of desperation, Han Li twisted his wrist, and the nine Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords merged into one. The Evil-warding Divine Lightning accumulated inside surged out without reservation, slashing towards the front.

“Zizzzz”

Countless golden lightning threads condensed together, forming a huge golden electric light. In a series of explosions, it broke through layers of karma fire obstacles, stirred up gusts of sword energy storms, and heavily struck the black stone pillars.

In a series of "rumbling" explosions, the black stone pillars exploded one after another.

Han Li's figure did not pause at all. He passed through the unabated waves of energy and went straight to the karma fire passage, about to pass through it.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Just at this moment, a black shadow flashed past, blocking his path one step ahead.

It was Yin Gua!

He extended a palm that seemed slow but was actually fast. There seemed to be infinite suction in the palm, and it grabbed Han Li's collar. The other hand grabbed the black square seal he had been holding earlier and stamped it on his forehead like lightning.

It was too late for Han Li to summon the Mantra Treasure Wheel again. The previous struggle had also consumed too much energy. He couldn't resist at all at this moment and was heavily slapped on the forehead.

He only felt a jolt of electricity running through his body, causing a sense of numbness. The operation of his immortal spiritual power was blocked, and his whole body lost all strength. He couldn't move at all.

Yin Gua grabbed him and returned. Shi Chuankong on the other side had also exhausted his strength and was captured. Only Bai Liyan was left fighting Su Liu, who had become a Grand Unity puppet.

Seeing this, You Luo, who had been silently watching the battle, suddenly launched a surprise attack at the right time. Bai Liyan was already struggling, and he was naturally even worse after the girl joined the battle. He was also captured.

Han Li's heart sank to the bottom.

Although he had already made the worst plan, facing a Da Luo-level opponent, Mo Guang, Hu San, and Bai Liyan, three Grand Unity cultivators, as well as him and Shi Chuankong, two Golden Immortal peak cultivators, actually couldn't even last a quarter of an hour and were completely wiped out.

He was even more puzzled. Why did this Da Luo Realm cultivator guarding the Luo Sheng District arrive so quickly? Even if they triggered the fire pool restriction, he shouldn't have been able to arrive so quickly, unless they had already been noticed before that.

Could it be that the previous disguise had been seen through long ago?

That was also unlikely. Not to mention that the Jade Firmament Fox Tail was genuine, Mo Guang was originally a Grand Unity Gray Immortal's body, and Bai Liyan, due to the disturbance of the karma fire, could also be considered a half-Grand Unity Gray Immortal. The auras on both of them were enough to fool people, otherwise Han Li wouldn't have let them impersonate the Jiu You Clan people.

“The previous… infiltration, clearly didn't have many… loopholes. How did you… discover us?” Han Li's whole body was numb, and his tongue was a little disobedient.

“Seeing that you're so honest, I'll rarely be kind and tell you. Not all those who guard here are just You Slaves. One of them is my puppet.” Yin Gua glanced at him, nodded towards the distance, and said.

“I was still careless…” Han Li was speechless, sighing in his heart.

Just at this moment, Yin Gua raised his left hand and slapped it out towards everyone.

A black lightning bolt flew out from the center of his palm, bursting open with a “bang” and turning into countless black runes that drilled into Han Li and the others' bodies with extreme speed.

Han Li only felt a stabbing pain in his lower abdomen dantian. He was shocked, but he forcibly endured it. The veins on his forehead bulged, and he hurriedly probed the dantian's condition.

He saw gray light flashing in his dantian at this moment, and black lightning threads emerged out of thin air, covering the nascent soul.

These black lightning threads emitted a strange power of law. After his nascent soul was imprisoned by the lightning threads, the immortal spiritual power in his body, which had already been operating sluggishly, suddenly completely solidified, as if it had been frozen, and could not be used at all.

Not only that, but this power of law also spread out, quickly spreading throughout his body.

The worst thing was that Han Li's fleshly body had also become soft and weak, unable to exert much strength. His divine sense was also imprisoned in his mind, unable to emit a trace.

The faces of Mo Guang and the others also changed, and it was clear that the situation was the same.
