Han Li pondered slightly, then brought together two fingers and gently stroked the gap in the wall, then placed them on his forehead to sense. His eyes immediately lit up.

The aura left in the gap was very familiar; it belonged to Jin Tong.

After escaping from Ghost Valley, Jin Tong had indeed come here. He only wondered what she was doing here.

Of course, Qu Lin's aura was also present in the cave, obviously pursuing her.

Han Li's eyes flashed, and he muttered to himself. His entire being transformed into a ghostly shadow, flying into the cave. Like a snake, he pierced through it and quickly arrived on the other side of the wall.

On the other side of the wall was a large hall, square in shape, several hundred zhang wide. The entire structure was golden in color, constructed entirely from Tianjue Gold Rock, including the ground. The void was filled with extremely strong fluctuations of the Law of Gold.

Although the hall was still empty, perhaps because it was entirely built from Tianjue Gold Rock, it gave one an extraordinary sense of grandeur.

"To think an entire palace is cast from Tianjue Gold Rock, what a grand gesture," Han Li couldn't help but exclaim.

"Fellow Daoist Han, I remember now. Within the Nine Yuan Sect, there is a legendary sacred hall called the Nine Yuan Palace, the fundamental ground of the Nine Yuan Sect. It is said that the Nine Yuan Dao Ancestor refined it from an enormous golden Law material. This is likely it," Lan Yan's voice echoed in Han Li's mind.

"The Nine Yuan Palace! What is this place used for?" Han Li asked, surprised.

"I'm not sure about that. I only know that it is a sacred ground of the Nine Yuan Sect, perhaps a place for secluded cultivation. After all, the power of the Law of Gold is extremely rich here, and many within the Nine Yuan Sect cultivate the Law of Gold. In any case, Fellow Daoist Han, if you act here, be extremely careful," Lan Yan's voice resonated in Han Li's mind again.

Han Li nodded slowly, activating the Nine Nether Devil Eyes to continue searching for Qu Lin's spiritual energy traces.

The Law of Gold was too strong here, causing significant interference for Han Li. However, he enhanced the power of the Nine Nether Devil Eyes to the extreme and finally discovered Qu Lin's spiritual energy traces, leading him to the deepest part of the hall.

Here, there was a side door. Han Li pulled it open, revealing a garden outside.

The ground of the garden was also made of Tianjue Gold Rock, but the flowerbeds were filled with various spiritual soils, in which all kinds of exotic flowers and spiritual herbs were planted, mostly of the Gold element.

Han Li ignored the spiritual herbs in the garden, following the residual spiritual energy traces in the void, and continued to track.

The Nine Yuan Sect was quite large, but the field of vision was not open enough, and it was inconvenient to explore because one could not spread divine sense too far here.

He passed through two gardens and four or five palaces, but there was still no end in sight, and he had not found Jin Tong's whereabouts.

Han Li frowned slightly. This place was not safe. Where had Jin Tong and Qu Lin run off to? Continuing to wander around here would easily lead to danger.

After passing another palace, Han Li's eyes finally lit up, and he shot forward quickly.

Because he sensed the violent collision of two auras, and the sound of thunderous roars, obviously someone was fighting fiercely.

These two auras were precisely those of Jin Tong and Qu Lin.

Han Li flew through a corridor, and the scenery ahead suddenly opened up. A huge plaza appeared in front, forty or fifty acres in size.

Giant golden stone pillars stood around the plaza, engraved with array patterns and restrictions, seemingly a formation, though it was not activated.

In the air above the plaza, two giant golden beetles emitting rays of golden light were swiftly intertwined, forming two golden phantoms spiraling and dancing, fighting each other, precisely Jin Tong and Qu Lin.

Streaks of golden light shot out from the battle circle of the two, landing on the ground, and creating muffled thunderous roars.

The plaza ground was also made of Tianjue Gold Rock, but the attacks of Jin Tong and Qu Lin were so powerful that large pits were blasted into the ground, and several golden pillars around the plaza were broken.

As Jin Tong and Qu Lin fought fiercely, the golden light they emitted seemed like two giant mouths, tearing and devouring each other.

After many years, Jin Tong's Gold Devouring Insect form was even more majestic and terrifying, and the aura she emitted had reached the early stage of Grand Luo, faintly approaching the peak of the early stage of Grand Luo.

However, Qu Lin's aura was even more immense at this moment, completely reaching the peak of the early stage of Grand Luo, only one step away from advancing to the middle stage, firmly suppressing Jin Tong.

"Haha! As long as I devour you, I can fully reach the mid-stage of Grand Luo, and even break through to the late stage of Grand Luo! Obediently become a part of my body, you and I are one!" Qu Lin laughed loudly.

"Don't even think about it!" Jin Tong gritted her teeth, struggling to hold on.

Qu Lin chuckled. The golden light on his body surged again, and then suddenly solidified, forming a golden spiritual domain as large as twenty or thirty acres, covering nearly half of the plaza.

Giant golden swords and blades appeared in the spiritual domain, forming a world of blades and spears.

Jin Tong was immediately shrouded in the spiritual domain, and a cage of giant golden blades and swords formed around Jin Tong's body.

The blades and swords struck Jin Tong, bursting out rays of golden sparks.

But the Gold Devouring Immortal body was extremely hard, and only white marks were cut into Jin Tong's body, without causing injuries. However, her flying figure paused, trapped in the cage of blades and swords.

A fierce glint flashed in Jin Tong's eyes, and the golden light on her body immediately surged, forming a golden spiritual domain.

Countless golden insect phantoms appeared in the spiritual domain, similar to Gold Devouring Immortals, but with extremely large mouths, occupying most of their heads, filled with tiny teeth, looking exceptionally sharp.

As soon as these golden insect phantoms appeared, they pounced on the golden blades and swords, rapidly devouring them, especially around Jin Tong, where the insect phantoms were dense.

With a "crunch," "crunch" sound, the cage of blades and swords around Jin Tong was quickly bitten apart, nearly half devoured in the blink of an eye, and she was about to break free.

But at that moment, a golden shadow flashed above Jin Tong's head, and Qu Lin's figure appeared out of thin air, waving his two front claws downwards.

The golden blades and swords in Qu Lin's spiritual domain immediately gathered rapidly in one place, condensing into two hundred-zhang-sized golden giant swords.

The giant swords had three sides, looking like a prism, revealing a soul-shattering murderous aura, as if they could absorb all life energy and destroy everything.

"Chop!"

Qu Lin uttered softly, and the two prism-shaped giant swords shot out, slashing towards Jin Tong.

A trace of fear flashed in Jin Tong's eyes, and she let out a sharp whistle.

The golden insect phantoms around her flew up like lightning, rushing towards the two golden giant swords, but they were annihilated by the terrifying sword energy emitted by the trihedral giant swords before they even touched them, like moths flying into a flame, completely useless.

The two golden giant swords blurred and appeared three feet above Jin Tong's head, slashing down crosswise.

A determined look flashed in Jin Tong's eyes, and the golden light on her body flickered, seemingly about to cast some divine power.

But at that moment, a golden light wave spread out swiftly, shrouding Jin Tong and Qu Lin, yet another golden spiritual domain, but this spiritual domain was filled with a powerful Law of Time.

The two trihedral giant swords were covered by the Time Spiritual Domain, and their downward slashing speed immediately slowed down by more than ten times.

Then, a rumble echoed in the nearby void, and a small mountain-like golden hand appeared out of thin air, flashing with countless golden runes, grabbing the two trihedral giant swords in one fell swoop.

"What!" Qu Lin's expression changed, and he pinched his fingers with both hands.

But his movements were also ten times slower, unable to keep up at all.

The golden hand suddenly clenched its five fingers, and an extremely powerful spiritual pressure erupted from it, surpassing even Qu Lin and Jin Tong.

With a "bang"!

The two trihedral giant swords were forcibly crushed!

Then, the void above Jin Tong's head flickered, and Han Li's figure emerged.

"Uncle!" Jin Tong's eyes showed surprise when she saw Han Li.

"It's you! How could you have escaped from Guilizi!" Seeing Han Li, Qu Lin's face showed an unbelievable expression.

"Hmph!" Hearing Qu Lin mention Guilizi, the anger of being framed before surged up, and Han Li's figure disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Qu Lin's face changed slightly, he glared at Jin Tong bitterly, and his huge body suddenly shrank, turning into a golden phantom and shooting towards the distance, actually fleeing.

Jin Tong and Han Li seemed to be in cahoots.

A Jin Tong was already troublesome enough, and now with the addition of Han Li, he was no match.

However, Qu Lin did not fly far when a figure flashed in front of him. Han Li's figure appeared like a ghost, blocking his way, much faster than Qu Lin.

Qu Lin's face changed drastically, and he roared loudly. His two front claws turned into two golden streamers, slashing down towards Han Li's head.

Han Li's face turned cold, his figure flashed again and disappeared, and the next moment he appeared beside Qu Lin, golden lightning wrapped around his right fist, punching like electricity into Qu Lin's waist and ribs.

With a loud "bang," Qu Lin's entire body was sent flying.

At this moment, Qu Lin's two front claws were still maintaining the slashing motion, and had just moved less than half a foot, compared with Han Li's movements, slow as an ox crawling.

Han Li had activated the Reversal True Wheel at this moment.

In his spare time these years, he had been constantly refining this divine power. Although it had not yet reached completion, it could accelerate by twenty or thirty times, and combined with the Time Spiritual Domain, it was enough to overwhelm all enemies in speed.

Although Qu Lin was sent flying, a deep fist mark appeared on his waist and ribs, but the golden armor on his body did not break.

"It's really hard!" Han Li muttered, his figure flashing again and disappearing, then appearing again on Qu Lin's side, punching out.

With another loud "bang," Qu Lin was knocked back again.

At this moment, Han Li conjured hundreds of afterimages, spinning around Qu Lin like the wind, and countless golden fist shadows emitted the sound of thunderous explosions, tearing the air, and heavily bombarding Qu Lin's body.

One punch after another!

Clang clang clang clang!

Qu Lin's body was knocked left and right in mid-air, tumbling and rolling around, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, but his heart was already extremely horrified.

Although his body was extremely hard, it had its limits. Han Li's fists were also surprisingly heavy, and if he continued to be beaten, his body would not be able to withstand it.
