Lu Chuanfeng disregarded the others in the hall, his eyes fixed on the vortex of white light.

After a moment, the white light vortex gradually weakened, slowing down until it dissipated into starlight, and Feng Tian Xian Shi's body fell out from within.

Han Li suppressed his inner doubts and looked towards Feng Tian Xian Shi.

His water armor had vanished, his clothes were torn, and deep, bone-revealing wounds were visible everywhere.

However, these were not the most important issues. Several of his vital acupoints, including his dantian, had been torn open by the erupting stellar force. Remnants of this force had invaded these points, acting like bone-scraping knives, constantly eroding them and causing him immense pain.

"Ah..."

Feng Tian Xian Shi let out a suppressed roar from his throat, his heart filled with extreme resentment.

He couldn't remember the last time he had suffered such severe injuries in his many millennia of existence. Tian Xing Zunzhe's sudden assassination attempt had brought him not only physical pain but also spiritual humiliation.

"I will hunt down all Riyue Meng cultivators throughout the Immortal Domain," Feng Tian Xian Shi said bitterly.

"Immortal Envoy, you should first tend to your injuries. Lord Huo has already gone after Tian Xing Zunzhe. We can decide on the matter after he is captured," Lu Chuanfeng said with a slight frown.

The Riyue Meng's influence was deeply rooted and could almost stand on equal footing with the Jin Yuan Immortal Palace. Its cultivators numbered in the millions. How could one simply order a complete extermination?

"No matter what, I will make Tian Xing, that dog thief, and the Riyue Meng pay a hundredfold price," Feng Tian Xian Shi said, his resentment undiminished.

Speaking these words aggravated his injuries, twisting his face in pain. He glanced at the people from Xianshan Sect and the other twelve sects, feeling that he had lost all face, and his resentment deepened.

The members of the twelve sects dared not look directly at him. They exchanged glances, their expressions uneasy.

"It was just an investiture ceremony, how could it turn out like this..." Zi Luo Xianzi sighed with unresolved worry.

"No, I think today's events are not simple. We cannot stay here any longer, or who knows what other mishaps might occur..." a white-haired elder said with a frown.

"That's right, they have imprisoned us here, and the surrounding restrictions have been broken. If anything happens, we will be the first to die. We cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom," someone else said in a low voice.

"Let's go, let's leave this place of trouble first..."

Someone called out, and everyone stood up, wanting to leave the hall.

"Previously, our Guanzhu ordered that no one should leave Jiu Yuan Pavilion without permission. You cannot leave," the short, fat elder stood up again, blocking their way.

"Elder Yu, you said before that we were safe here because of the protection of the restrictions in Jiu Yuan Pavilion. Now that this place is a dangerous place with holes everywhere, do you still want to force us to stay here?" Zhou Xianyang said loudly.

Elder Yu knew he was in the wrong and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Elder Yu, instead of stopping us, you should quell the chaos in the Guan. We only want to leave Jiu Yuan Guan now," Luo Yuanshan also said.

"In that case, I will have the elders of the sect take you away. If anyone leaves on their own and wanders into Jiu Yuan Guan, they will be treated as troublemakers and killed. Do you all understand?" Hearing this, Elder Yu finally sighed and said.

Everyone's face changed upon hearing these obviously threatening words.

However, they all wanted to leave this troubled place as soon as possible, so they nodded in agreement.

Thus, Elder Yu summoned several Jiu Yuan Guan elders and ordered them to lead the members of the twelve sects out in batches.

Just as Han Li was thinking about how to find an opportunity to leave, Zhou Xianyang's voice suddenly echoed in his mind:

"Fellow Daoist Han, our mission is complete, we can withdraw."

"I have other matters to attend to, I cannot leave Jiu Yuan Guan yet," Han Li replied through voice transmission.

"Fellow Daoist Jiao San instructed earlier that if you refuse to leave, you should give me the Bodhi Token, and I will exchange it for what you want," Zhou Xianyang transmitted.

Without hesitation, Han Li turned his wrist, took out the token, hid it in his sleeve, and handed it to Zhou Xianyang.

As the latter took the token, he also passed a jade pendant into Han Li's palm.

"Fellow Daoist Han, I will take my leave first. This is not a place to stay for long, take care of yourself," Zhou Xianyang said through voice transmission.

Thus, he left Jiu Yuan Pavilion with the other members of his sect, along with the first batch of departing individuals.

Han Li rubbed the jade pendant in his hand, pondered for a long time, but could not find a suitable time to leave.

As he watched batches of other sect cultivators depart, the number of people in the damaged hall dwindled, until only the last dozen or so elders of Hushanzong and Han Li remained.

"You will take these people out of Jiu Yuan Guan. Do not let anything happen to them." Elder Yu glanced at Han Li and the others and instructed the last Jiu Yuan Guan elder in the hall.

"Yes," the elder nodded and said.

Then, he led Han Li and the others towards the entrance of the hall.

Han Li walked at the back of the group. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Feng Tian Xian Shi enveloped in a layer of faint blue light. A semi-transparent blue crystal bead, the size of a dragon's eye, floated above his head, emitting intense water-attribute law fluctuations.

Under the nourishment of this layer of water-attribute law power, the terrifying wounds on Feng Tian Xian Shi's body had almost completely healed, but his aura was still unstable, obviously because the stellar force raging in his body had not yet been cleared.

Just then, Han Li suddenly felt a palpitation, and a strong sense of crisis instantly struck.

He could no longer worry about exposing his identity. The power of the Time Law within his body instantly activated, and his figure blurred, instantly flashing from the back of the group to the front.

However, even as he moved, the temperature in the surrounding void dropped rapidly, and a force of extreme cold instantly swept through the entire Jiu Yuan Pavilion.

During this process, Han Li watched as the Hushanzong elders he had just brushed past were frozen into ice crystals one after another, and his own body was frozen in place just as he was about to step out of the hall.

In a daze, he even felt that time within a thousand-zhang radius had been frozen.

"Damn it..."

Han Li cried out in his heart. The feeling of icy cold penetrated his bones, and the Great Five Elements Illusionary World Art cultivation technique stopped running. The immortal spiritual power within his body was completely frozen in that instant.

The sensation was very strange, like his divine soul being locked by the Isolation Chains in the past. Han Li couldn't mobilize the slightest bit of immortal spiritual power within his body, and all spells were impossible to cast.

Fortunately, his Xuan cultivation had reached completion, and his physique was no longer what it used to be. He quickly activated the Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Skill, mobilizing all the stellar power in his body.

As the cultivation technique activated, all the mysterious acupoints around his body lit up, reflecting a white light under the icy crystals exuding wisps of cold air, constantly impacting the blue ice crystals enveloping his body.

However, under the impact of the stellar power, the blue ice crystals showed no sign of collapsing. Instead, with each powerful impact, the extreme cold force emitted from within grew stronger, constantly eroding his internal organs.

Han Li could even clearly feel his heart cooling down bit by bit, and its beating becoming slower and slower. He quickly moved his mind and summoned the Essence Flame Firebird to protect his heart meridian.

At the same time, the entire Jiu Yuan Pavilion was sealed with ice, and pale blue mist filled the air. Human-shaped ice sculptures stood among them, looking both exquisite and eerie.

Feng Tian Xian Shi was naturally not among those frozen. He also felt the changes around him, and now he opened his eyes, looking somewhat puzzled at Lu Chuanfeng, the master of the Jin Yuan Immortal Palace.

"Palace Master Lu, what are you doing? Why did you release your Extreme Cold Spiritual Domain?" he asked with a frown.

"Immortal Envoy, do not panic. There is still a little rat from the Reincarnation Palace in this Jiu Yuan Pavilion. After I capture him, I will release the spiritual domain." Lu Chuanfeng said with a smile, his eyes fixed on Han Li.

Han Li felt his gaze and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. It was indeed directed at him.

However, besides being frightened, he was also very puzzled. He was clearly wearing a mask, had not overstepped his bounds in any way, and had not revealed any flaws. How did Lu Chuanfeng discover him?

While Han Li was doing his best to activate the Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Skill, trying to break through the seal of the Extreme Cold Ice Crystals, he was also commanding the Essence Flame Firebird to fully resist the Extreme Cold Force constantly invading his body.

At the same time, he was also constantly contacting the bottle spirit of the Palm Heaven Bottle. When all else failed, he could only use the small bottle to perform a physical body traversal to escape the danger.

But if he did that, he would definitely have to leave Jiu Yuan Guan, and it would be even more impossible to rescue Jin Tong.

"There are people from the Reincarnation Palace among these people?" Feng Tian Xian Shi asked in surprise.

"Originally, I wasn't sure. But just now, the moment I released the spiritual domain, this person used the Time Law technique 'Great Five Elements Illusionary World Art' from the Zhenyan Sect, which further confirmed his identity as a thief from the Reincarnation Palace," Lu Chuanfeng said with a smile.

"This Immortal Envoy wants to see which thief from the Reincarnation Palace it is," Feng Tian Xian Shi said with a cold look, standing up.

He shook off the ice crystals that had formed on his clothes, exhaled a white mist, and came to Lu Chuanfeng's side.

"If I'm not mistaken, this person is the newly emerged, unusually active wanted man on the Immortal Execution List, Han Li." Lu Chuanfeng pointed to Han Li and said.

"Han Li..." Feng Tian Xian Shi paused slightly upon hearing this name.

After carefully savoring it for a moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he realized, "It's actually him?"

"What, Immortal Envoy, do you also recognize him?" Lu Chuanfeng asked.

"Hmph, this person has repeatedly opposed our Heavenly Court. He even attacked the Little Jin Yuan Immortal Palace before, killing the majestic Palace Master Dongfang Bai, and then fled. Even when the Heavenly Court sent the Wonderful Dharma Immortal Venerable to personally pursue him, the result was still unsuccessful. I didn't expect him to appear here," Feng Tian Xian Shi said with great joy.

"In that case, this person is truly not ordinary," Lu Chuanfeng said thoughtfully.
