Wang Yu
Chapter 1206 Breaking the Rule
The remnant soul of Elder Xi Tang flashed with blood-colored light and completely dissipated.
"How was it?" Xiao Bai asked curiously.
"This fellow left a trick when he self-destructed. Most of the memories within his divine soul have dissipated on their own. The memories that remain are also incomplete, but the part about Qu Lin is still clear. Speaking of which, they weren't targeting Qu Lin alone," Ti Hun said with a frown.
"What do you mean?" Han Li asked.
"According to his memory, the Celestial Court seems to be collecting and capturing cultivators with special Law powers. Qu Lin's true form is a Gold-Eating Immortal, who cultivates the rare Devouring Law, which is why they targeted him," Ti Hun said.
"Does he know what they're capturing these cultivators for?" Han Li asked.
"There's no information about this in Elder Xi Tang's memory. I imagine he probably doesn't know either, and was probably just acting on orders," Ti Hun said.
Han Li frowned upon hearing this.
Ti Hun turned her wrist, and a black storage bracelet appeared in her palm. After refining it, she began searching inside.
"Hehe, it's back in my hands." After a short while, Ti Hun took out the black ghost flute from the storage bracelet, played with it for a moment, and said happily.
"Fellow Daoist Han, Fellow Daoist Ti Hun, I have a request..." At this moment, Lan Yan suddenly knelt down and said prostrate.
Ti Hun was surprised by this and took a step back.
Han Li knew what Lan Yan was asking for, so he didn't move and accepted her bow.
"You want Fellow Daoist Ti Hun to use the Nether Soul Secret Technique to save Lan Yuanzi, right?" Han Li said, looking at her.
"Please help me, Fellow Daoist Ti Hun... I'm willing to do anything," Lan Yan said, prostrate on the ground, her voice trembling as she pleaded.
Ti Hun frowned upon hearing this and turned to look at Han Li.
Han Li didn't speak, but nodded to her and sent a few words through telepathy.
"It's not impossible for me to help you, but I've never done anything like this before, so I can't guarantee success," Ti Hun said after thinking for a moment, organizing her words.
Lan Yan looked up at Ti Hun, a hint of hesitation flashing in her already moist eyes.
However, her expression quickly became firm again, and she said, "As long as Fellow Daoist Ti Hun is willing to help, I will be eternally grateful. As for whether it succeeds, I'll leave it to fate."
"Alright, since you've said so, I'll give you a hand. But you should know what to do if my master needs something from you in the future, right?" Ti Hun nodded and said.
"I've already said before, no matter what it is, even if it costs me my life, I won't hesitate," Lan Yan said solemnly.
"Fellow Daoist Qu Lin, what are your plans?" Han Li asked.
"The reason I came to this Great Gold Origin Immortal Domain is because I sensed the aura of my kind. Although I almost suffered a disaster this time, I don't plan to leave just yet. After recuperating, I will continue to head towards Nine Yuan City," Qu Lin said.
"In that case, you and I are going the same way. Why not travel together?" Han Li said.
Qu Lin didn't speak immediately, but pondered to himself.
Han Li didn't say much either, simply waiting for an answer. Someone with Qu Lin's personality was naturally suspicious and wary. The more he persuaded, the more likely it was to backfire.
"Master, why invite him to travel with us? This child has a wolfish gaze. I'm afraid it's not good to keep him around," Xiao Bai asked telepathically, her little face slightly wrinkled.
"The reason this fellow appeared here is definitely because he was attracted by Jin Tong's aura. With him around, it will be much easier to find Jin Tong's trace later," Han Li replied telepathically.
"So it's for Big Brother. Then there's no problem," Xiao Bai nodded to herself.
"If we travel together, we can take care of each other, but wouldn't it be easy to expose our whereabouts if there are too many people? Moreover, that Chi Meng already has a way to find my trace. Is Fellow Daoist Han not afraid of being implicated by me?" Qu Lin asked tentatively, as if weighing his words.
"Fellow Daoist Qu doesn't need to worry about this. If you travel with me, you only need to hide in my Cave Heaven Magic Treasure, and I guarantee that Chi Meng will have no way to find you," Han Li said with a smile.
"If that's the case, then I'll really have to trouble Fellow Daoist Han and travel with you," Qu Lin said.
"Very good. There are many formations in my Cave Heaven space, so it's not suitable to walk around freely. Fellow Daoist Qu can stay in the bamboo building to rest and recuperate. I hope you'll forgive me," Han Li said.
"It's fine, it's fine," Qu Lin nodded immediately.
With a wave of Han Li's hand, a silver light gate appeared in the void, directly facing the second floor room of the newly built bamboo building in the spirit medicine garden.
Qu Lin cupped his fist in a salute and stepped into it.
Entering the room, he looked around and found that the room was filled with spiritual energy, and there seemed to be restriction formations set up around it.
These formations naturally couldn't stop him, but once he took any action to destroy the formations, Han Li would immediately notice. With the strength Han Li had shown, Qu Lin couldn't guarantee that he would be able to defeat him.
As his thoughts raced, he stepped in front of a soft couch in the room, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to adjust his breathing.
"Lan Yuanzi's divine soul is incomplete. Do you have a way to help him?" Han Li asked, turning to look at Ti Hun after closing the silver light gate.
"I have a Soul Nourishing Secret Technique that can first nourish his soul, but it will take a lot of time. After his soul is complete, he can find another body to possess," Ti Hun said.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ti Hun," Lan Yan said, bursting into tears of joy.
"If you want to thank someone, thank my master," Ti Hun said.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Han," Lan Yan hurriedly bowed again and said.
Han Li was about to speak when he suddenly felt something. With a wave of his hand, the silver light gate reappeared, but this time it was the original bamboo building in the Flower Branch Space that appeared inside the gate.
"Ti Hun, you first take them back to the Cave Heaven to recuperate. I'll leave the matter of warming Lan Yuanzi's divine soul to you," Han Li said.
Ti Hun nodded and walked into the light gate first.
Lan Yan glanced at Han Li and also walked into the main building, while Xiao Bai followed behind him.
After they left, Han Li closed the silver light gate with a wave of his hand. With a twist of his wrist, he took out a scarlet mask from the Samsara Temple and covered his face.
As a burst of crystal light lit up on the mask, a red light curtain was projected in front of him.
A graceful figure emerged from the light curtain.
Han Li recognized her at a glance. The figure was none other than Jiao San.
"Fellow Daoist Jiao San, you've finally contacted me," Han Li said with a smile, secretly exhaling a sigh of relief when he saw Jiao San.
"Sorry, I've been too busy lately, and only now was I able to contact Fellow Daoist Han. Oh, Fellow Daoist Han's strength has greatly improved. Could it be that you've already advanced to the Grand Luo Realm?" Jiao San said, a look of surprise suddenly appearing in her eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Jiao San has good eyes. I wonder how you saw through my cultivation?" Han Li asked, his eyes flashing.
"This little girl was taught a Qi Observing Technique by a senior. I can roughly judge the other party's cultivation through a person's image and expression, but it's just a small trick. Never mind. I wonder where Fellow Daoist Han is now?" Jiao San smiled and didn't talk much about this question, changing the topic.
"I've already entered the Great Gold Origin Immortal Domain now, because I have some things to do," Han Li recalled Jiao San's previous warning to him, and after a moment of silence, he didn't lie and told the truth.
"It doesn't matter. The situation in the Great Gold Origin Immortal Domain is different from before. It doesn't matter that you came in," Jiao San said with a light smile when she saw Han Li's concerns.
Han Li's eyes flickered. Listening to Jiao San's words, it seemed like she was also in the Great Gold Origin Immortal Domain.
"Fellow Daoist Jiao San contacted Han, could it be that the mission has finally begun?" Han Li calmed his mind and asked.
"That's right. I wonder where Fellow Daoist Han is in the Great Gold Origin Immortal Domain? Can you arrive at Nine Yuan City within thirty years?" Jiao San said with a serious expression.
"No problem." Han Li calculated the distance between Glazed Gold City and Nine Yuan City and nodded.
"That's good. There's also one thing. Since Fellow Daoist Han has already advanced to the Grand Luo Realm, please keep this." As Jiao San said, she made a hand seal and waved her hand.
A black light flashed in the item transferring formation, and a black mask appeared. It was exactly the same style as the mask Han Li was wearing, and the name written on it was still Long Wu.
"The masks in our Samsara Temple are divided into four colors: blue, cyan, red, and black, representing the status and position in the Samsara Temple. The black mask is the mark of a true core member of the Samsara Temple," Jiao San said.
"The Samsara Temple intends to promote Han to a core member of the Samsara Temple?" Han Li took the black mask and asked, his eyes flashing.
"The Temple Master of this temple has long heard of Fellow Daoist Han's great name and has always wanted to summon you, but due to busy matters, he has never found the opportunity. However, he has long intended to promote Fellow Daoist Han to a core member. Promotion to a core member is no small matter. One must have outstanding talent and make great contributions to this temple to have the opportunity. Fellow Daoist Han was able to advance to the Grand Luo Realm in such a short time, so there is naturally no problem with talent, but you lack contributions. The Temple Master originally planned to wait until the Nine Yuan Temple mission was over before promoting Fellow Daoist Han, but the place we are going to next is Nine Yuan Temple. There are countless experts there, and the Nine Yuan Dao Ancestor is also sitting there. It may not be safe to conceal your aura with the red mask, so I was exceptionally ordered to give this black mask to Fellow Daoist Han first to ensure the safety of this trip. After the Nine Yuan Temple mission is over, the official promotion will be carried out," Jiao San said quickly.
"Samsara Temple Master!" Han Li's heart trembled.
He had heard the great name of this Samsara Temple Master for a long time. To be able to create a huge organization like Samsara Temple that dared to challenge the Celestial Court, he must be an extremely powerful figure. His cultivation must also be unfathomable, and perhaps he was a Dao Ancestor.
Hearing that such a figure had been paying attention to him, Han Li was actually quite uneasy.
"Then thank you for the Temple Master and Fellow Daoist Jiao San's kindness," he said, thanking them, and then spread his divine sense to investigate the black mask, and his eyes lit up slightly.
Although the black mask was in his hand, when he explored it with his divine sense, there was a sense of nothingness, as if there was no mask in his hand at all.
His heart was filled with joy. The supernatural power of this black mask to conceal aura was indeed much better than the red mask. I'm afraid it was also extremely difficult to refine, and I don't know how many heavenly materials and earthly treasures were used. It was worthy of the status of a core member.
