Shura City.

The Three Domains Alliance resolution conference was ongoing at the Fallen Lake District venue.

However, due to the previous incident, few domain lords spoke, and the atmosphere in the venue seemed somewhat awkward.

As the host, Yin Chengquan, although gloomy inside, still had to deal with the situation on the surface.

He squeezed out a smile and was about to say something.

Just then, a gray ring on his left pinky finger suddenly tightened.

The ring had four horizontal lines engraved on it: cyan, purple, silver, and gold. The cyan line suddenly dimmed and turned gray.

The smile on Yin Chengquan's face instantly froze, and a vein flickered on his forehead, but it quickly disappeared.

Although the change in his expression was only momentary, almost everyone present noticed it, and their hearts stirred.

"Domain Lord Yin, you don't seem to be in good spirits. Could it be that you've been overworking yourself these days?" Huangfu Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.

"It's nothing. The conference has finally achieved some results today, and it's not been in vain for everyone to travel so far," Yin Chengquan said faintly.

"Domain Lord Yin, you're too kind. This conference is of great importance, concerning the future prosperity of our Gray World. Everyone present is in charge of their respective domains, so coming here is their duty," Xiao Buye said with a smile.

"By the way, is there any news about what happened in the Soul Cleansing Zone? Why don't you tell us all about it," Huangfu Yu changed the subject and asked.

"The small incident in the Soul Cleansing Zone is not worth Palace Master Huangfu's concern. Let's continue with the conference. Today is the first day for resolutions. After the discussions in the past few days, I believe everyone present has made their decisions. Now, let's all speak freely and share your views," Yin Chengquan said calmly, his face returning to its normal composure.

Huangfu Yu's eyes flickered, and she turned to look at Xiao Buye.

Xiao Buye happened to be looking over as well. They exchanged glances, a strange light flashing in their eyes.

Just as Yin Chengquan finished speaking, a gray jade pendant under his lapel shattered silently.

……

Inside a spacious hall somewhere in Shura City.

The place looked like a reception area, furnished with antique tables, chairs, and furniture, arranged in a rather elegant and comfortable manner.

A layer of misty gray light flickered around the hall, forming a gray light curtain that enveloped the entire hall.

In the center of the hall, two figures sat facing each other. One was an old man with white hair and beard, none other than Feng Qingshui from the Heavenly Court, who was sipping tea with his head lowered.

The other person was dressed in gray, with wide lips and a cold face. In appearance, he was another Yin Chengquan.

However, this Yin Chengquan's figure was somewhat ethereal, like a wisp of smoke, as if he were not a solid entity.

Suddenly, Yin Chengquan's body flashed with gray light, and his expression suddenly turned extremely gloomy, like dark clouds before a storm.

"Fellow Daoist Yin, has there been another change somewhere? Feng is just wasting time sitting here drinking tea. If you have any difficulties, Feng is willing to lend a hand. The strength of your divine sense clone is limited and may not be of much use," Feng Qingshui said slowly, his eyes flashing as he put down his teacup.

"Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Feng, but the situation is still under control. I won't bother you. Just stay here and enjoy your tea," Yin Chengquan said.

"Fellow Daoist Yin, we are allies with aligned interests. Why are you so heavily guarded against me?" Feng Qingshui frowned, somewhat dissatisfied.

"When I need your help, I will ask. Until then, please continue to enjoy your tea and sit quietly," Yin Chengquan snorted, said faintly, and disappeared into thin air with a sway.

The gray light curtain around the hall fluctuated slightly and suddenly became several times thicker.

Seeing this, Feng Qingshui smiled coldly, picked up his teacup again, but a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

……

In the Searing Pool, after Han Li and the others helped Ancestor Liu Qi sever one chain, they sat down cross-legged on the spot, took out various recovery pills, and used Immortal Essence Stones to recover.

In the center of the Thunder Pool, Ancestor Liu Qi, on the giant cross, had closed his eyes and was forming a hand seal, chanting something, as if he were brewing something.

Since the cyan thunder chain had been broken, the aura emanating from him had increased significantly.

But at this moment, his eyes suddenly opened, and he looked towards a certain wall.

There, the originally smooth surface of more than a hundred white crystals suddenly rippled with a faint light. Then, circles of runes appeared on the surface and rotated rapidly. A hazy humanoid figure gradually emerged, looking somewhat distorted and not a solid entity.

Han Li and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they all stood up.

"Master!"

Tihun's body trembled as she looked at the gray figure in the air, a complex expression flashing in her eyes as she exclaimed in surprise.

"Tihun, you're saying that's Nine Serenity Domain Lord Yin Chengquan?" Han Li's heart trembled, and he asked in a low voice.

Before Tihun could answer, the gray figure suddenly turned his head and looked towards where Han Li and the others were.

Han Li felt a sudden darkness before his eyes. An invisible force struck his mind, and the towering snow peak formed by the Yu Feng Suppressing Divine Talisman shook violently and then collapsed.

He felt his mind and soul were shaking incessantly, and he was dizzy and almost fainted.

"Spirit Refining Art!" Han Li was horrified and shouted loudly in his heart, immediately activating the Spirit Refining Art.

The power of his divine sense circulated in his mind, suppressing the trembling soul.

Fortunately, his Spirit Refining Art had just made great progress, almost reaching the fifth layer of completion. A vast power of divine sense wrapped around the soul, trying to suppress it, and finally managed to stabilize it.

At the same time, crystalline light flickered in front of him, and chains of divine sense emerged, weaving into a large net to resist the invisible force.

However, this invisible force was too powerful. The raging power followed the net of divine sense chains and transmitted to his mind.

Han Li's mind trembled, and he stumbled backward, unable to stand steady.

On the other side, Shi Chuankong's body also trembled violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning as pale as paper.

He roared in a low voice, and a silver lock appeared out of thin air above his head, emitting dazzling silver light to protect his head. At the same time, his figure retreated rapidly.

However, the silver lock trembled violently, and a crack appeared on the lock body with a "crack," and the silver light it emitted quickly dimmed.

Shi Chuankong's expression changed again, and he spat out a mouthful of essence blood, which flashed into the silver lock. At the same time, he formed hand seals as quickly as wheels.

The light emitted by the silver lock brightened slightly, barely continuing to protect his head, but it flickered violently, looking like it could extinguish at any moment.

Fox Three reacted the fastest among the three. When Yin Chengquan's gaze looked over, his expression changed drastically, and his figure shot backward while waving his hands rapidly.

White talismans flew out of his hands, instantly turning into layers of translucent white light curtains in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, he threw out dozens of talismans, turning into dozens of layers of light curtains.

However, the white light curtains were immediately hit with devastating force, and dozens of layers of light curtains shattered inch by inch.

Fox Three's eyes twitched, and his hands continued to wave without stopping, one white talisman after another flying out of his hands, dozens more in an instant.

One white light curtain after another appeared in front of him, but was shattered again by an invisible force, and this time the light curtains shattered even faster. As if swept by raging waves, dozens of layers of light curtains exploded instantly.

Fox Three's face turned pale, and his retreating figure became even faster.

Of the four, only Tihun was not attacked, standing aside with a complicated expression.

"Haha, Yin Chengquan! You finally sent this divine sense clone over, but unfortunately, it's a step too late." At this moment, Ancestor Liu Qi's laughter came from the side.

The sound waves rolled in like a tangible force, blocking in front of Han Li and the others.

With a loud bang!

The void in front of Han Li and the others trembled violently, and spatial cracks appeared out of thin air, spreading around like a spider web.

The entire giant hall shook, as if in an earthquake, and cracks appeared on the four walls.

The overwhelming pressure on Han Li and the others eased, and they retreated a few steps before barely standing steady, with frightened expressions on their faces.

Ancestor Liu Qi's brow shone brightly, rolling in the air and condensing into a middle-aged man wearing a gray-white brocade robe and a fox fur belt around his waist.

The man stood in front of Han Li and the others, with his hands behind his back, giving people a sense of power that looked down on the world.

"Yin Chengquan, if your real body were here, and I hadn't escaped yet, I might be somewhat wary, but you only sent a divine sense clone, wanting to hurt people in front of me is too arrogant," the middle-aged man said with a sneer.

Yin Chengquan's expression darkened slightly, and he did not immediately attack. He turned his gaze to Tihun on the side.

"Luo'er, you are so bold as to bring these people into the Soul Cleansing Zone, not only releasing the Primordial Kunhou, but now releasing this Liu Qi. Do you know how much damage these things have caused to the Nine Serenity Clan?" Yin Chengquan scolded in a deep voice.

"Master... this disciple is unworthy. This disciple just wanted to bring him to the Searing Pool to wash away the baleful aura in his body, and did not intend to harm the Nine Serenity Clan. He is the same, just wants to wash away the baleful aura, and does not intend to be an enemy of the Nine Serenity Clan," Tihun's delicate body trembled when she heard this. She glanced at Han Li, a trace of shame flashing on her face.

"You are Luo'er's former master? Humph, a mere Gold Immortal, you are quite bold. But for Luo'er's sake, I can not pursue your crime of trespassing into Shura City. You may leave," Yin Chengquan turned to look at Han Li, and suddenly waved his hand seal.

The restriction light on the stone gate of the giant hall flashed, and with a "boom," it slowly opened, actually intending to let Han Li leave.

Seeing this, a look of contemplation appeared on Han Li's expression, as if he were somewhat tempted.
