With Shi Pokong's farewell of "We'll meet again... never," a stream of white light, shielded by a force of spatial laws, pierced through the great formation and struck him.

Han Li was startled. He only managed to glance down and saw it was a jade token of identification before a powerful, tearing sensation surged from all directions.

He felt the surrounding air tighten, followed by a wave of twisting force sweeping over his entire body. He felt as if he was being torn into pieces. His immense divine sense became somewhat scattered and unable to concentrate.

With a booming sound, the entire Yuekong Tower shook violently. A beam of silver light shot from the top of the tower into the sky, rubbing against the clouds in the void and creating a dazzling halo of iridescent colors.

At the same time, a ring of silver light suddenly burst open on the surface of the rhombus-shaped crystals embedded in the outer wall of the tower, transforming into an invisible wave of air that swept in all directions.

The silver light shot out for several breaths before its radiance abruptly dimmed and all sound ceased.

Dust billowed from the entire Yuekong Tower. The rhombus-shaped crystals on the outer wall were mostly burned by the massive energy impact. The remaining ones were dull in luster, indicating that the energy contained within them was almost completely exhausted.

After a moment, Shi Pokong and his group walked out of the tower gate.

His expression was still not good. His brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes compared to before.

...

Immortal World. In a place surrounded by lush green mountains, a simple Taoist temple with blue brick and black tiles was built.

The buildings within the temple were built according to the terrain, stretching for dozens of miles.

In a slightly lower-lying green mountain depression, there was a white stone formation with a radius of only a hundred zhang, surrounded by stone pillars covered in dense runes.

At this moment, nearly a hundred cultivators in two different costumes were gathered around this not-so-large rune formation, each with a solemn expression and a face full of solemnity.

Among these people, there seemed to be two leaders. One was a middle-aged man in a white robe, not very tall, but with a rather majestic aura, indicating that he was a person accustomed to wielding power.

The other was a thin, elderly man with sunken cheeks and sparse whiskers, looking quite gaunt.

"Brother Tao Ji, where did you get this information? Will that person really arrive here today?" The gaunt old man suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

"Brother Jin Chuan, last night I suddenly received a cross-border message saying that the murderer who killed Yu'er would appear on the Huilong Temple teleportation platform today. The time was too tight, so I didn't bother to verify its authenticity. I hurriedly brought some of my available men and rushed over. Thinking that you weren't far away, I troubled you to come and help," the middle-aged man named Tao Ji said.

"It's no trouble. But if I remember correctly, the person who killed Yu'er back then was just a True Immortal, a nobody that could be crushed with a single finger. Why is it worth you making such a fuss?" Jin Chuan asked doubtfully.

"This matter is a bit strange. The person who sent the message said that the person now has considerable combat power and that I should treat him as a Taiyi Realm cultivator at best..." Tao Ji hesitated for a moment before saying.

"How is that possible? How many years has it been since Yu'er was killed? Even if a person is a peerless genius, it is impossible to cross from the True Immortal Realm to the Taiyi Realm in such a short period of time, that's absolutely impossible. If I were to say, it's mostly someone setting you up. You haven't offended few people in that position over the years," Jin Chuan said, shaking his head.

"Brother Jin Chuan, you also know how much effort I have spent on this matter? I don't want to miss even the slightest chance. Moreover, even if someone sets a trap against me, you are here to help me, so what do I have to fear?" Tao Ji sighed and said solemnly.

"Not to mention with my help, I think even if I don't come, with your current formation, as long as it's not a Great Luo Realm powerhouse, they won't be able to gain any advantage," Jin Chuan said with a smile, glancing at the surroundings of the white stone formation.

"I only have five Golden Immortal Peak cultivators from the Immortal Palace and more than forty Golden Immortal mid- and late-stage cultivators. If it weren't for the people you brought to supplement, this complete Two Elements Yin-Yang Formation would not be able to exert its best power at all," Tao Ji said with a wry smile.

"I heard you say before that this person cultivates the power of the law of time, which is really courting death," Jin Chuan suddenly thought of something and said.

"Most likely, he came from humble beginnings, has no background in a large sect, and doesn't know the secrets of law cultivation, so he blindly embarked on this dead-end road. However, the fact that he was able to kill Yu'er with the cultivation of True Immortal back then and then kill Gongshu Jiu shows that he has already made some progress in the cultivation of the power of the law of time," Tao Ji said contemplatively.

"Haha... Even if his time law cultivation has already reached the hall, so what? As long as he enters this Two Elements Yin-Yang Formation, wouldn't he be unable to exert his strength and be at our mercy? Don't worry, if he doesn't come today, so be it. If he comes, we will make it impossible for him to escape and avenge your Yu'er!" Jin Chuan laughed.

Hearing this, Tao Ji's expression also relaxed a bit. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed.

"He's here..." Jin Chuan said with a smile, his expression changed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the clouds in the void above suddenly surged violently, all gathering above this mountain depression, obscuring half of the sky.

The light in the mountain depression suddenly dimmed, and the sound of whistling arose. Everyone looked up towards the high sky.

"Set up the formation," Tao Ji said in a low voice with a solemn expression.

The nine leading Golden Immortal Peak cultivators immediately responded and moved around the teleportation platform with nine Golden Immortal mid- and late-stage cultivators, each finding the formation hub they were guarding and deploying a complex formation in a staggered manner.

These ninety people all made hand seals and chanted incantations. Beams of light from the runes on the ground and the surrounding stone pillars lit up. A layer of black and white halo slowly surrounded them from all directions, like a large open pocket, waiting for the prey to appear, ready to scoop it in.

With a loud boom, a bolt of lightning suddenly exploded in the dark clouds gathered above, and an extremely strong spatial fluctuation came out of it. Then, a silver beam of light cut through the void, emitting bursts of colorful glare, and fell straight down.

The teleportation platform shook with a bang. Where the silver light fell, a figure in green had already appeared, it was Han Li.

As soon as the dazzling silver light disappeared, a buzzing tremor came from the high sky. The black and white halo closed in an instant, immediately overturning like a large pot, covering the entire teleportation platform below.

The spatial tearing force attached to cross-border teleportation is extremely terrifying. Only Taiyi cultivators dare to try it. If a Golden Immortal cultivator forcibly activates it, they will mostly not escape the tearing of their bodies. Even if they don't die, they will definitely be seriously injured.

Han Li's physique is extraordinarily strong, so naturally there is no danger of tearing damage, but even so, he only felt his head dizzy, his body sore, and it was difficult to stand up immediately.

The Refinement Art within his sea of consciousness had already started to operate on its own, and after a while, it returned to calm.

When he stood up again, there was a crisp sound of "Pa" at his feet, and a thumb-sized jade token fell down.

Han Li shook his head, bent down to pick up the jade token, and glanced around. When he saw that half of the people deploying the formation were wearing clothes with the Immortal Palace imprint, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Shi Pokong, Shi Pokong, it seems I've been set up by you again..."

On the other side, Jin Chuan glanced at Han Li and only felt that the tall young man in front of him looked very ordinary. He couldn't help but ask:

"Is that him?"

"It's him, there's no mistake." Tao Ji's eyes were fixed on Han Li. He nodded affirmatively.

Although he had never seen Han Li's face before, he didn't know why, but when he first saw Han Li and felt the aura on his body, he subconsciously identified the person in front of him as the guy who killed his child.

"Should I call you Li Feiyu, or Han Li?" Tao Ji asked coldly.

When Han Li heard Shi Pokong's last words, he had already guessed that there might be problems here, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

"Have we met before?" Han Li asked with a frown.

"You haven't met me, but you've met Yu'er and killed him." Tao Ji said coldly.

Han Li carefully looked at the middle-aged man and found that there was a faint familiarity between his eyebrows and eyes. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized, "You are Tao Yu's father, the Elder Tao that Gongshu Jiu mentioned?"

"As long as I haven't found the wrong person, today is the time for you to pay your blood debt. Do it." Tao Ji nodded and said when he heard the words.

As soon as he gave the order, the teleportation platform shook violently immediately, and the air also tightened, as if it had suddenly been evacuated.

Han Li frowned. He suddenly found that the heaven and earth spiritual energy in the surrounding air had disappeared cleanly in an instant. He seemed to have suddenly returned to the Scaled Hollow Realm.

As soon as he thought of this, Han Li couldn't help but smile and showed a helpless look on his face.

"Activate the Yin-Yang Extreme Stones." Seeing that there seemed to be no panic on his face, Tao Ji frowned slightly and shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the Golden Immortal cultivators changed their hand seals and pushed forward with their hands at the same time.

On both sides of the light curtain of the great formation, circles of strange runes appeared out of thin air. The black and white halos surrounding the area suddenly separated clearly, as if they were attracted by something.

The white light returned to the left, and the black light separated to the right, each condensing on the circles of runes, gradually transforming from virtual to real, turning into two huge black and white millstones, rotating violently and squeezing towards the center.

Han Li was in the center of the millstone. Although he had not yet touched it, he already felt a powerful squeezing force coming from both sides of him, directly compressing the void layer by layer, turning it into two invisible air walls, tightly locking him in the center, unable to move.
