A wave of surprise went through the crowd as they turned to see a towering demon, ten zhang tall and covered in exquisite white bones, soaring from the cave entrance and hovering in the hall's airspace.

When the crowd clearly saw the demon's appearance, they couldn't help but gasp.

Its entire body of white bones was as lustrous as jade, without any skin, flesh, or internal organs. Its massive head was completely different from that of a human, looking more like a goat skull. Two white bone wings grew from its back, connected by a layer of transparent membrane, flapping continuously.

Han Li released his spiritual sense to scan the demon and found that the aura emanating from it was no weaker than the previous copper lion demon. He frowned slightly.

"So, you are the ones who released me, the king?" The white bone demon scanned the crowd below and spoke slowly.

Han Li and the others didn't understand its intentions, so they didn't answer, only staring at the demon with wary expressions.

Seeing no response, the white bone demon's gaze fell on the blue cloth bag in Lan Yan's hand. Its pair of ghostly blue eyes rolled around in the bone sockets.

"Since this object is in your hands, it's evident that you indeed opened the seal. Although I am a demon, I am not an ungrateful or discourteous being. You have done me a favor, so I shall bestow these Darksea Diamonds upon you as a token of my gratitude." As the white bone demon spoke, it waved its hand, and a blue light flashed from its fingertip.

In the void, seven or eight fist-sized, ghostly blue crystals flew out, each containing a dense water-attribute law power. It was clear at a glance that they were not ordinary objects.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the crowd all changed slightly.

They weren't surprised by the rarity of these Darksea Diamonds, but rather by the actions of the white bone demon.

"Hmph! You don't speak, nor do you want the gift. You're making me lose face." Seeing that the crowd didn't move, the white bone demon's tone grew cold, and it said indifferently.

With that, it suddenly waved its hand, and the seven or eight Darksea Diamonds were immediately enveloped by a force, shooting toward the crowd.

Accompanied by a series of whooshing sounds, the Darksea Diamonds instantly arrived before the crowd. A mass of dark light suddenly lit up in their cores, rapidly expanding from the center of the Darksea Diamonds and bursting open.

With a loud "Boom!"

All the Darksea Diamonds exploded simultaneously, turning into an immensely powerful wave of air that swept in all directions, carrying a rolling black mist with a pungent odor.

Wherever it passed, even the void seemed to be corroded, emitting a teeth-aching "hissing" sound.

Han Li and the others were prepared for this and, while using their respective methods, retreated backward.

"You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Then this king will play with you all properly..." The white bone demon sneered and shouted.

As its voice fell, the entire cliff completely collapsed, and one enormous demon after another shot out from the ground, rushing toward Han Li and the others.

Since the mountain peak was shrouded in a restriction barrier, the crowd couldn't retreat too far. Seeing the demons attacking, they no longer retreated and instead charged toward the demons rushing up from below.

Han Li turned his wrist, and a Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword appeared in his palm, slashing down at a powerful, three-headed owl, comparable to a late-stage Grand Unity stage demon, that was coming at him.

With a "Chila" sound!

A golden light flashed on the sword, and a surge of golden lightning poured out, transforming into a golden lightning sword that cut through the void and landed on the head of the three-headed owl.

One would have expected the head in the middle to be severed, but that scene didn't occur.

A blinding golden light suddenly lit up on the top of the three-headed owl's head, colliding with the golden lightning sword. Its neck was forced downward, but after rebounding, it shook off Han Li's sword light.

Immediately afterward, its left and right heads opened their mouths simultaneously, emitting a sharp shriek. Two spiral golden ripples immediately surged out from them, attacking Han Li from both sides.

However, the spiral golden light had barely flown out a hundred zhang before it suddenly became very slow, as if frozen in place.

A golden wheel lit up behind Han Li, and his figure instantly passed through the center of the two golden ripples. His figure flew to the chest of the three-headed owl, and the Heavenly Fiend Devilish Art of Imprisonment was activated within his body. With one sword, he broke through its protective spiritual light and instantly pierced its heart.

"Zizlala..."

A burst of golden electric light spread from the sword body, and strands of golden electricity surged out from the wound on the three-headed owl's chest.

At the same time, a silver flame enveloped it from the outside, completely engulfing it.

All of this seemed lengthy, but it was actually completed with the help of Han Li's time law. Under the combined attack of the Evil-warding Divine Thunder and the Refined Flame Firebird, the three-headed owl demon perished almost instantly.

Compared to Han Li, who was only harassed by one demon, Lan Yuanzi and Lan Yan were in a much livelier situation.

Seven or eight Grand Unity stage demons were all gathering around them, seemingly very interested in the blue cloth bag in Lan Yan's hand.

Han Li's heart stirred slightly, and he understood that the blue cloth bag, like the golden sword in Xiong Shan's hand, was mostly a treasure used to suppress the restrictions of the altar. Its quality would naturally not be low, hence it was coveted by the demons.

The demons were ferocious and powerful, and their combined strength far surpassed that of the brother and sister.

Lan Yuanzi and Lan Yan had previously used a secret technique together, which had consumed a lot of their energy. Naturally, they were forced into a precarious situation and were retreating steadily.

Han Li hesitated for a moment, just as he was about to step forward to help, when he saw Lan Yan's eyes suddenly narrow. She raised her hand, grasped the blue cloth bag, and pointed at the bag with a hand seal.

A blue light lit up on her fingertip, and the blue cloth bag began to vibrate violently. A series of rolling thunder sounds echoed from the mouth of the bag, and a blue vortex suddenly emerged from it.

Han Li's eyes narrowed as he looked at the mouth of the bag, a strange look flashing in his eyes. He saw that lightning flashed in the vortex, and there seemed to be a water-thunder grand formation inside.

At this time, Lan Yan and Lan Yuanzi stood back to back, suddenly tilting the mouth of the bag toward the many demons gathering around them, and shouted sharply:

"Go!"

After this sound, the blue light vortex at the mouth of the bag in her hand began to spin violently. Seven or eight blue water dragons rushed out from it again, opening their mouths to tear at the demons.

Just then, Lan Yan's expression suddenly changed, and her face turned pale instantly, looking as if she had consumed too much immortal spiritual power.

Han Li saw this and was slightly shocked.

Although this blue cloth bag was definitely an Immortal Artifact, how high was its grade that Lan Yan's slight use of it consumed so much energy?

Judging from her appearance, it seemed that not only immortal spiritual power was consumed, but also a lot of law power was lost.

In comparison, Xiong Shan had previously driven that Great Wilderness Ancient Sword with the body of a mere Golden Immortal late stage cultivator. Thinking back now, it really revealed some strangeness.

Just as Han Li was pondering, another demon pounced at him. He snorted coldly, held his sword, and went up to meet it. The two fought again.

The blue water dragons were swift and powerful. When they moved, the surrounding void seemed to be covered by a layer of light containing water-attribute law power, blocking the demons' path.

Several demons that were too close were caught off guard and were directly bitten by the blue water dragons.

The demons screamed strangely and struggled frantically, but they were unable to break free from the water dragons and were pulled backward.

Their bodies began to shrink rapidly as the water dragons retreated. Finally, when they flew close to the mouth of the bag, they had become the size of bullets and were all pulled into the bag.

As soon as the demons entered the bag, they fell into the water-thunder grand formation inside. The entire blue vortex immediately boiled, and the roaring sound was deafening.

Within a few breaths, there were bursts of miserable howls from inside the blue cloth bag, mixed with the roar of lightning.

And just a moment later, all the sounds ceased, and the demons had completely turned into ashes.

Lan Yan, who had activated the bag, also seemed to have been drained of all her strength in an instant, and collapsed limply.

Lan Yuanzi quickly supported her, took the blue cloth bag from her hand, and flipped his hand to take out a water-blue pill and fed it into her mouth.

The white bone demon let out a sharp cry, and the remaining demons stopped their attacks and flew backward.

The white bone demon paused its gaze on the crowd, turned its body, flapped its bone wings, and fled with the other demons.

After everyone cleaned up, they gathered together again.

Lei Yuce's gaze fell on the blue cloth bag in Lan Yuanzi's hand, and his face became a little ugly. After hesitating for a long time, he ultimately didn't say anything to blame or demand it, but cupped his hands at the crowd and said:

"Everyone, please wait a moment. The formation of this forbidden area has been severely damaged and it will take some time to repair. You can take this opportunity to search around to see if there are any remaining treasures."

With that, he ignored how others reacted and took Wen Zhong to repair the formation.

The Lan Yuanzi siblings didn't move, but sat down cross-legged and continued to adjust their breathing to recover.

Lan Yan's consumption seemed to be more serious than imagined. After taking the pill, her face was still very unsightly. Lan Yuanzi, who was beside her, looked very distressed, and his gaze fell on the blue cloth bag in his hand, showing some hesitation.

Han Li looked at it for a moment and, like the others, began to search nearby.

However, after the main hall was destroyed, this cliff was already scarred and littered with debris. After everyone searched, they didn't find anything except some water-attribute materials.

After about a quarter of an hour, Lei Yuce and Wen Zhong came back and said:

"Everyone, the restriction formation on the altar has been repaired, and everyone can continue on their way."

With that, he called out to Su Anqian, and the three of them flew up together and continued to rush towards the top of the mountain.

Jiao San and the others followed closely behind and also went up.

Han Li was about to move forward with the crowd when he seemed to sense something. He suddenly turned his head and glanced at a spot in the distance, then frowned, revealing a look of confusion.

After pondering for a moment, seemingly still unable to figure it out, he shook his head and continued forward.
