Miao Fa Immortal's body suddenly jolted, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. She staggered and fell towards the lotus throne below.

The blue sword rain in the high sky came to an abrupt halt, and all the mist dissipated.

Before Miao Fa Immortal could steady herself, a ball of silver flame suddenly rose from the lotus throne beneath her. Like a giant fire lotus, it closed in from all directions, trying to engulf her.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly. Her figure flashed and shifted tens of feet sideways, barely dodging the silver fire lotus.

Seeing that its attack had missed, the silver fire lotus transformed into a silver flame firebird, pouncing towards her.

Miao Fa Immortal hastily raised her hand, trying to summon back the blue immortal sword.

However, what fell from the high sky was not only her immortal sword, but also a beautiful girl of marriageable age, none other than Jin Tong.

And in her hand, she was firmly grasping the blue, shimmering immortal sword.

"How is this possible?"

As Miao Fa Immortal was greatly shocked, Han Li's figure had already appeared behind her like a ghost, and a sword pierced through her chest.

"Zizzla"

Accompanied by the sound of flowing electricity, countless lightning crystal threads溢了出来 from the wound on Miao Fa Immortal's chest and back, causing her to let out a shrill roar, and her face turned deathly pale in an instant.

"You thought Jin Tong was hiding underground, so you lowered the lotus throne, but you didn't expect that she had been in the high sky all along," Han Li said slowly.

"She can't… can't control my Xuan Frost Immortal Sword," Miao Fa Immortal said, a trace of blood溢了出来 from her mouth.

"Such a miser, who wants to control your broken sword, it's cold and hard as a rock. Even if you give it to me, I wouldn't want it!" Jin Tong said unhappily upon hearing this.

With that, she casually tossed the immortal sword at Miao Fa Immortal's feet.

The latter looked down, and her face immediately changed, filled with heartache.

She saw that a piece was missing from the blade of the once-perfect immortal sword near the hilt. Judging from the fractured marks, it was clearly bitten off.

"It's freezing me to death!" Jin Tong rubbed her hands, which were a bit bluish from the cold, and looked at Miao Fa Immortal with a look of disgust.

"Today, I was careless. Next time, I will make you pay a hundredfold," Miao Fa Immortal said through gritted teeth, her face full of anger.

Jin Tong's eyes widened upon hearing this, and just as she was about to curse, she saw Miao Fa Immortal's body instantly freeze into ice, freezing Han Li and the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword within it as well.

Immediately afterward, a dazzling blue light lit up from the center of the ice sculpture, suddenly blooming.

The surrounding area within a hundred miles was instantly swept by an extremely violent shockwave, and countless blue crystal powders spread out, surging in all directions like a blizzard, engulfing thousands of miles.

After a long time, these blue ice crystals finally settled, but the area within a thousand miles had been transformed into a snowy world.

Han Li and Jin Tong's figures reappeared. They looked around, but Miao Fa Immortal was nowhere to be seen. Even the lotus throne and the Xuan Frost Immortal Sword had disappeared.

"She actually got away," Jin Tong said with some dissatisfaction.

"It doesn't matter. We didn't want to fight her to the death in the first place. Your contribution was the greatest in forcing her back so quickly," Han Li said with a smile, subconsciously wanting to rub Jin Tong's head.

Just as his hand was raised, he remembered that the current Jin Tong was no longer the little girl she once was, so he awkwardly retracted his hand.

Seeing his embarrassment, Jin Tong grinned.

"Alright, you should go back to the Flower Branch Grotto Heaven to rest for a while. I need to catch up with Jiao San and the others with all my strength," Han Li said.

"With Miao Fa Immortal delaying us like this, they must have run off to who knows where," Jin Tong said.

"They were chasing each other all the way, so they must have left traces along the way. As long as I follow the traces of their fighting, I should be able to find them," Han Li said, his eyes slightly narrowed.

After resting for a while, he sent Jin Tong back to the Flower Branch Grotto Heaven. He then flew up alone, chasing after the direction Jiao San and the others had left in.

Han Li used the black mask's invisibility Divine Ability, advancing quickly along the traces left by Jiao San and the others. Those people had not concealed their tracks, so he followed them very easily.

After a short while, he arrived near a great hall.

Waves of booming sounds, like stormy waves, came from inside the hall. It seemed that an extremely fierce battle was taking place inside.

There were restrictions everywhere within the Nine Yuan Palace, making it impossible to use Divine Sense to probe. Han Li was about to approach the main gate of the hall to see what was going on inside.

The next moment, his expression changed slightly. He flashed and hid behind a large rock, looking at the two stone pillars in front of the main gate of the hall. A layer of purple-black light appeared in his eyes as he used the Nine Serenities Devil Eyes.

He saw two transparent figures attached to the two stone pillars, one red and the other black. They were Chi Meng and Huo Yuan.

The two were focused on looking into the hall, unaware of Han Li's arrival.

It was also because Han Li's black mask had such a good concealment effect that the two had not noticed him.

Han Li glanced at the two of them, then ignored them. His figure silently entered the ground, slowly moving towards the main gate of the hall. Soon, he arrived at the front of the hall.

From this angle, he could see the situation inside the hall.

He saw pieces of Immortal Artifacts flying all over the hall, Spirit Light exploding, and escaping light shooting in all directions. It was a chaotic mess.

There were ten figures in the hall. On the Samsara Hall side were Rabbit-Headed Mask, Wu Yang, Lu Chuanfeng, Jiao San, and the black-clothed woman.

On the Nine Yuan Temple side were Chun Jun Daoist, and the two deputy temple masters Yang Junzi and Lei Junzhenren, whom Han Li had met once before.

Chun Jun Daoist was blocking the Rabbit-Headed Mask, fighting in mid-air.

Yang Junzi and Lei Junzhenren were sitting within a huge magic formation. Inside the formation was a golden altar. Around the altar stood several golden figures that were several zhang tall.

These golden figures wore armor and held giant swords, as if they were living people. Cooperating with the surrounding magic formation, they chopped out beams of golden light like meteors.

These golden lights seemed ordinary, but they contained extremely powerful metal attribute Law power. They fought against Wu Yang, Lu Chuanfeng, Jiao San, and the black-clothed woman without losing ground at all.

A dazzling golden cloud was suspended above the golden altar. There seemed to be some treasure inside, but the golden cloud was too dazzling, making it impossible to see inside.

The golden cloud wriggled and rolled like a living thing, emitting astonishing Spirit Power fluctuations. From time to time, a golden light would burst out from it, containing extremely sharp metal Law, easily tearing the surrounding void apart.

Not only that, the golden cloud flickered a few times, its color suddenly changing to earthy yellow. The Law fluctuation it emitted also changed to an extremely heavy earth Law. The nearby void trembled, as if it could not bear the weight of the yellow cloud.

The next moment, the cloud cluster changed from earthy yellow to emerald green, bursting out with extremely dense wood Law fluctuations. The void within the hall was instantly filled with vigorous vitality.

Next, the cloud cluster continued to change, turning into red, blue, and other five different colors, and then started all over again, cycling repeatedly.

The five people from Samsara Hall stared intently at the cloud cluster above the altar. While launching various attacks, they rushed towards the altar from all directions.

The three from the Nine Yuan Temple tried their best to resist, blocking the people from Samsara Hall from getting close.

The battle had become white-hot. No one knew what kind of powerful restrictions were set up in the hall, but it was able to withstand the aftershocks of the battle.

"What kind of treasure is in the cloud cluster, that it contains five Law powers!" Han Li was greatly surprised as he looked at the constantly changing cloud cluster above the altar from afar.

The higher the level of an Immortal Artifact, the more important the purity of the Law.

The aura fluctuations emitted from the cloud cluster were extremely powerful, stronger than all the Immortal Artifacts on his body, even more so than the Lamp of Time, but it actually contained five Law powers.

With a thought, he used a spell to project what he saw into the Flower Branch Space, so that Jin Tong, Tihun, and the others could also take a look, and asked them through Voice Transmission.

"Jin Tong, Tihun, Little White, have you ever seen such a treasure?"

Jin Tong and Tihun were also surprised when they saw this scene, and they both shook their heads to deny.

Little White, on the other hand, had a hesitant look on her face.

"Little White, do you know something?" Han Li immediately asked when he saw the change in Little White's expression.

"When I inherited my father's bloodline power, I also inherited some of his memories. In those memories, I saw Bai Ze King and my father and others once tried to refine an Immortal Artifact. That Immortal Artifact also contained different Law powers, but unfortunately, it failed in the end. However, there are no detailed descriptions in my father's memories about that Immortal Artifact," Little White said.

Han Li nodded slowly upon hearing this.

He looked at the cloud cluster a few more times, then moved his gaze away, looking at the battle in the hall, focusing mainly on the black-clothed woman and the Rabbit-Headed Mask.

The black-clothed woman's cultivation was now fully displayed, reaching the Great Luo Initial Stage. She was enveloped in a dark red light, which was alternately divided into six layers like a rainbow.

She was wielding a dark red ancient mirror Immortal Artifact, fighting with four or five golden figures.

No one knew what kind of treasure the dark red ancient mirror was, but its power was astonishing, constantly射出一道道 dark red crystal light from the mirror surface.

The golden light attacks emitted by those golden figures immediately disintegrated and disappeared like ice and snow meeting fire when they touched the dark red crystal light. Although there were four or five of the golden figures, they were still at a disadvantage, forced to retreat continuously.

"Samsara Law!" Han Li's eyes flashed as he looked at the dark red mist around the black-clothed woman.

However, the Samsara Law emitted by the black-clothed woman was completely different from Jiao San's Samsara Law.

Jiao San's Samsara Law was extremely sharp, full of a sense of toughness, but although this woman's Samsara Law was not as sharp as Jiao San's, it was even more unpredictable.

Wu Yang, Lu Chuanfeng, and Jiao San also each used their Divine Abilities, fighting with those golden figures. They also vaguely gained the upper hand.

However, the golden magic formation around the altar was truly brilliant, and was connected to the Nine Yuan Palace. A steady stream of metal attribute Law power was continuously supplied, and Yang Junzi and Lei Junzhenren's control over those golden figures was also very powerful. Therefore, although the black-clothed woman and others had the upper hand, they were still unable to defeat those golden figures.
