“Awoo…”

Qu Lin suddenly let out a sharp cry, and dense golden spots appeared on the carapace on his back.

With a series of "puchi" sounds, these golden spots flickered and instantly grew into countless sharp golden thorns, like a hedgehog, making it difficult for Han Li to attack.

All the phantoms conjured by Han Li vanished in a flash, leaving only one person, who grabbed out with one hand.

A golden light flashed in his palm, and nine Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords shot out, merging into one in mid-air, transforming into a hundred-zhang-long golden giant sword, which slashed heavily on Qu Lin's back with a large amount of golden lightning.

With a "boom", dazzling golden light erupted, mixed with bursts of thunderous explosions!

Qu Lin was blasted away, most of the golden thorns on his body shattered, and he flew backward like a meteorite, spraying blood from his mouth, and the spiritual domain around him collapsed.

Although the golden thorns shattered, his body blocked the force of the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, and on the surface, he was not injured. But how could the Doutian Divine Thunder contained in the sword be underestimated?

Although the body of a Great Luo Realm Gold Devouring Immortal was indestructible, comparable to a top-tier immortal artifact, once the body was pierced, it would lose its most proud protection.

The power of the Divine Thunder entered his body and instantly surged and agitated within it.

Qu Lin already had hidden injuries in his body, and now, stimulated by the power of the Doutian Divine Thunder, they erupted immediately. The circulation of his immortal spiritual power was greatly disrupted, and he could no longer maintain his spiritual domain.

A trace of despair welled up in his heart, but he immediately rallied, trying his best to calm the chaotic immortal spiritual power in his body, intending to counterattack.

But at this moment, a substantial golden light descended from the sky, so fast that he had no time to dodge, and he was enveloped in it.

Qu Lin's body was wrapped in golden light and immediately felt as if he were trapped in a swamp, unable to move.

Almost in the next moment, two long crystal lights shot out from the light ball and struck Qu Lin's body.

Qu Lin's body was incredibly fragile before the crystal light. With a "chi la" sound, it was easily cut into three sections, and golden blood splattered.

The golden light suddenly surged, and countless golden insects rolled within it, which were actually countless Gold Devouring Insects!

Moreover, all the Gold Devouring Insects were real entities, not illusions conjured by supernatural powers!

On the other hand, Jin Tong was nowhere to be seen at this moment.

Seeing this situation, Han Li's heart stirred, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

Those Gold Devouring Insects surrounded Qu Lin's three sections of body and devoured them frantically.

Qu Lin's three sections of body shrank rapidly, but suddenly a golden light flashed on the three sections, and they shattered and disintegrated, turning into countless Gold Devouring Insects, flying in all directions.

Seeing this scene, Han Li raised both hands, and the golden light in the spiritual domain around him flowed around his body, forming a huge golden vortex.

Han Li's spiritual domain power was so vast, and the Time Law was one of the three supreme laws, above all laws. The Gold Devouring Insects transformed by Qu Lin were swept into the spiritual domain vortex and could only drift with the flow, unable to escape.

The Gold Devouring Insects transformed by Jin Tong were not affected by this and continued to pounce, biting and devouring the Gold Devouring Insects transformed by Qu Lin.

Unable to escape, the Gold Devouring Insects transformed by Qu Lin had to turn around and fight Jin Tong again.

The two waves of Gold Devouring Insects collided fiercely like two golden torrents, intertwined and tore, making ear-piercing screams.

Han Li looked at the scene before him, and for some reason, a feeling that was hard to describe welled up in his heart, as if he had returned to a long, long time ago, to that little cultivator who was overjoyed when he had just obtained the Gold Devouring Insects and discovered that they could devour each other to advance.

Qu Lin was first injured by Han Li, and then ambushed by Jin Tong, adding injury to injury. Although he was stronger than Jin Tong, he was now at a disadvantage.

However, Qu Lin's cultivation was after all higher. Although Jin Tong had the upper hand, he could not completely defeat Qu Lin for a while.

Han Li's thoughts were pulled back to reality. He sighed lightly, pinched his fingers with both hands, and the golden light in the spiritual domain flourished, and the power of the Time Law rippled.

The speed of the Gold Devouring Insects transformed by Qu Lin suddenly slowed down tenfold.

"Uncle, thank you!" Jin Tong's buzzing voice came from the insect swarm, and then they rushed up immediately.

With Han Li's help, Jin Tong immediately gained an overwhelming advantage. The insect swarm transformed by Qu Lin decreased rapidly and was about to be completely devoured.

The insect swarm transformed by Qu Lin made squeaking screams, gathering in one place, seemingly trying to condense into one body.

"Just as you said, you were originally one body, and you will eventually return. Why bother struggling?" Han Li murmured to himself and waved his sleeve.

More than a dozen thick golden lightning bolts shot out from his hand, hitting the place where the insects were gathering in a flash.

With a "boom", a thunderous sound exploded, and a golden lightning sun exploded!

The insect swarm that had finally gathered immediately exploded and scattered.

With this slight delay, the insect swarm transformed by Jin Tong swarmed up and immediately submerged the Gold Devouring Insects transformed by Qu Lin.

After a while, the Gold Devouring Insect swarm quieted down and gathered in one place.

With a flash of golden light, the figure of a slender, golden-haired girl gradually emerged, who was Jin Tong.

Compared with before, she had grown a lot, her appearance was even more beautiful and stunning, but her expression was still cold, making it difficult to approach.

Jin Tong appeared, but did not speak. Instead, she immediately sat down cross-legged, a golden light rose from her body, and dense golden spots appeared on her body surface, as many as six hundred.

Seeing this scene, Han Li knew that Jin Tong had devoured Qu Lin and her vitality had greatly increased, and she needed to perform the exercises to refine it. He waved both hands.

Poles of azure array flags shot out and landed around the two, opening several layers of azure light curtains.

The golden light on Jin Tong's body rolled, circulating like a tide, and the golden spots on her body surface increased rapidly one after another. In a blink of an eye, they reached more than seven hundred, and the aura emitted was constantly rising.

Seeing this scene, Han Li was secretly delighted.

They were in a dangerous place at the moment. If Jin Tong's strength could be improved, it would naturally be very beneficial to them.

He did not idle either, took out a pill and swallowed it, silently performing the exercises to refine it.

Time passed little by little, and more and more immortal apertures were opened on Jin Tong's body, quickly reaching more than eight hundred, and approaching the limit of the early stage of the Great Luo Realm.

Seeing this, Han Li was surprised that Qu Lin's vitality was so strong. Could it be that Jin Tong could break through to the middle stage of the Great Luo Realm in one fell swoop?

The immortal apertures on Jin Tong's body flickered. When they reached eight hundred and thirty-nine, the rolling golden light slowly calmed down and finally gathered into her body.

Han Li frowned slightly. He clearly felt that there was still a lot of vitality unused in Jin Tong's body, but then his brows relaxed.

To break through to the middle stage of the Great Luo Realm, it was not enough to just open the immortal apertures. The most important thing was to cut off the evil corpse. Jin Tong obviously did not have full confidence in this aspect, so she chose to stop.

Jin Tong converged her aura and stood up.

"Jin Tong, I am relieved to see that you are fine." Han Li also pinched his fingers and put away the surrounding restrictions, looked up and down at Jin Tong, and said.

"Uncle, it's been so long! Speaking of which, how did you appear here?" Jin Tong asked with her beautiful eyes flashing.

"Naturally, I came to save you. Not only me, but Xiao Bai is here too." Han Li said lightly and waved his hand.

With a flash of white light, Xiao Bai's figure appeared, already transformed into a Pixiu form.

"Boss, I miss you so much!" As soon as Xiao Bai appeared, he immediately pounced on Jin Tong with open teeth and claws, tears and snot flowing.

"Stop!" Jin Tong stretched out her long legs, held Xiao Bai's head to prevent him from getting close, so as not to get dirt on her body.

"Uncle, it was my carelessness that I was caught by the people from Nine Yuan Temple, causing you trouble." Jin Tong glanced at Xiao Bai and Han Li, a trace of emotion flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said in a low voice.

"We are companions, we have walked together for so many years, why say these things?" Han Li waved his hand and said.

"That's right, I was too attached." Jin Tong smiled slightly, like a hundred flowers blooming.

Seeing this scene, Han Li's eyes could not help but light up, and he secretly praised Jin Tong for her current style. In terms of appearance alone, almost none of the female cultivators he knew could compare with her, and she even vaguely had the feeling of competing with Zi Ling.

"Boss, it's great that you're okay!" Xiao Bai finally recovered from his excitement and kept rubbing Jin Tong with his big head, muttering in his mouth.

"Jin Tong, according to the information I got, you were previously captured by Nine Yuan Temple and imprisoned in Ghost Valley. How did you get here?" Han Li asked.

"Hmph! Gui Lingzi imprisoned me in the Jade Cage, wanting to give me to the Heavenly Court at the Bodhi Banquet. However, he suddenly left a few days ago. I took the opportunity to bite open the cage, regardless of losing my vitality, and escaped. However, I am not familiar with this place and came here by mistake." Jin Tong said somewhat angrily.

"I see. Although it is temporarily safe now, it is not easy for us to leave Nine Yuan Temple safely." Han Li nodded slowly and said.

……

Nine Yuan Palace is the core of the entire Nine Yuan Temple, and has always been regarded as a forbidden area within the sect. The Ancestral Hall, which is of great importance to the sect, is located in the middle and rear of the entire Nine Yuan Palace.

However, at this moment, this area, which is the focus of the sect, has also been fiercely attacked by the Reincarnation Temple.

The spatial restrictions around Nine Yuan Palace have already been opened, and the entire area is covered by a layer of golden enchantment light curtain. There are thousands of core elders and disciples of Nine Yuan Temple guarding the periphery.

And this place seems to be a place that the Reincarnation Temple is focusing on this time. It has gathered several times more cultivators than the elders and disciples of Nine Yuan Temple, all wearing various masks, and are frantically attacking Nine Yuan Palace.

At first, the elders and disciples stationed in Nine Yuan Palace relied on the enchantment to fight desperately with the cultivators of the Reincarnation Temple.

But soon, they suffered heavy casualties. Unable to support it, they retreated back to the enchantment, resisted stubbornly, and waited for the support of elders and disciples from other places in the sect.

However, the Reincarnation Temple's large-scale attack on Nine Yuan Temple was obviously planned for a long time and had made full preparations. Before attacking Nine Yuan Palace, it had already restrained a large number of Nine Yuan Temple cultivators in other places, and also left ambushes on the necessary paths to support this place.

It can be said that the current Nine Yuan Palace is isolated and helpless, and has temporarily become a desperate situation.
