"Don't be useless all day long and blame women when something goes wrong." Su Liu scolded, his figure gradually blurring and disappearing into the void.

The other True Spirits exchanged a few words and then left without lingering.

Above the ruins on the cliff, the members of the Eight Great Sacred Clans looked at each other, their expressions somewhat unsightly.

Hundreds of feet away, hidden in the shadows, Nuo Yifan watched the scene, breathing a long sigh of relief as if he had collapsed.

...

Tens of thousands of miles away from the Dark Star Canyon, Han Li was sitting cross-legged under a towering ancient tree on a solitary peak, enveloped in a layer of golden light, meditating.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised in a mocking smile.

"Uncle, why are you suddenly grinning like that?" Jin Tong asked, noticing the scene.

"The Beast Clan has chosen to attack me," Han Li said slowly.

Hearing this, a look of disappointment appeared on Jin Tong's face as she frowned and looked at Bai Yu Pixiu, who had a happy expression.

Startled by her glare, Xiao Bai quickly restrained his smile and said cautiously, "Boss, a bet is a bet. I won this time..."

Jin Tong snorted coldly and tossed a spirit stone filled with spiritual energy to Xiao Bai.

"These Beast Clan bastards are really ungrateful, actually repaying kindness with enmity..." She crossed her arms, enraged.

When she said "bastards" and "ungrateful," Jin Tong deliberately emphasized the words, causing Xiao Bai, who was about to swallow the spirit stone, to pause, almost choking.

He even regretted betting with Jin Tong on whether the Beast Clan would attack Han Li.

"I have True Spirit blood in me, and I'm carrying an immature Pixiu. I look like nourishment for their king, and their hatred for the Human Race is no less than that of the Insect Race. It would be unwise for us to stay there," Han Li said with a smile.

"Master, you are so farsighted and wise," Xiao Bai praised, swallowing the spirit stone.

"Xiao Bai, when did you become such a bootlicker, so good at flattering?" Jin Tong asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Hehe, haven't I been living better since following Master? Not only do I have rare treasures to eat, but I also have a wise and powerful boss like you protecting me. I couldn't even imagine this before," Xiao Bai said seemingly sincerely.

"You have good eyes," Jin Tong said, nodding in satisfaction, enjoying the compliment.

"Speaking of which, Master, your substitute method was amazing. You put masks on the Tao Soldiers, changed their clothes to yours, and hid a Talisman of Substitution inside them. As long as you don't fight, it's almost impossible to tell the difference," Xiao Bai exclaimed.

"Alright, stop flattering me. Leaving the Beast Clan means we can no longer use the Beast Clan's True Spirit to deal with the Gold Devouring Immortal. Our situation will only get worse," Han Li said, standing up.

"Uncle, I have a faint feeling that the guy's power is slowly recovering..." Jin Tong said worriedly.

"The Barrier-Separating Chains are not something I refined myself, so the effect is naturally not as good as the Heaven-Sealing Banner. Besides, the Gold Devouring Immortal is so powerful that the imprisonment won't last long. I think it won't be long before it comes after us," Han Li sighed.

"What should we do then?" Jin Tong asked anxiously.

"Now we have obtained part of the Beast Clan's map. Let's take it one step at a time. If we have enough time to restore the Time Dao Rune, with the help of the Mantra Treasure Wheel, we may have a chance to severely injure it and buy us time to escape the Savage Wildlands," Han Li said.

"Where should we go now?" Jin Tong nodded and asked.

Han Li didn't answer immediately. He flipped his hand, took out the map, and after looking at it for a moment, he said:

"According to the map, the areas where the Beast Clan and Insect Clan live are only on the edge of the Savage Wildlands. Going further south is where the wilderness deepens. In any case, let's get as far away from the Insect Clan and Beast Clan as possible."

With that, he waved his hand, summoned the Emerald Flying Chariot, and after beckoning Jin Tong and Xiao Bai to come up, he drove the chariot and transformed into a streak of emerald light, disappearing in a flash.

Half a day later.

Han Li stood at the front of the Emerald Flying Chariot, pouring Immortal Spiritual Power from his feet into the chariot, urging it to advance.

The spirit patterns on the Emerald Flying Chariot flickered on and off, emitting strands of green silk-like spiritual light that gathered together to form a spindle-shaped ball of light, spewing backward.

The chariot flew forward at an extremely fast speed, the surrounding scenery retreating quickly, becoming blurred.

However, his brow was still furrowed.

Although the speed of the Emerald Flying Chariot was extraordinary, he knew in his heart that this was far from the limit of the treasure. It probably only exerted two or three percent of its power. After all, the original owner of this treasure was a Grand Unity Jade Immortal. With his cultivation in the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm, he would naturally be inadequate to unleash its full potential.

Such speed was naturally sufficient for ordinary travel, but in the current situation, it was somewhat insufficient.

Han Li's mind raced, and he suddenly waved his hand. A flash of golden lightning appeared beside him, and the figure of Crab Taoist emerged.

"You control the chariot forward," Han Li instructed Crab Taoist, then took a few steps back and sat down.

Crab Taoist's Immortal Spiritual Power was much weaker than Han Li's. After taking over, the spiritual light around the Emerald Flying Chariot immediately dimmed, and the speed also decreased significantly.

Han Li turned a blind eye to this, flipped his hand, took out the "Long Wu" mask, put it on his face, and urged it. A layer of red light appeared on the mask, condensing a red light curtain in front of him.

The red light curtain formed by the Samsara Temple mask was not much different from the Masks of the Rogue Alliance, except for the addition of the Earth Board.

Han Li quickly found the reward area and posted a reward task, seeking a method for Golden Immortal cultivators to activate Grand Unity-level Immortal artifacts, offering a high reward of Immortal Essence Stones.

After doing this, he did not put away the mask, but turned to the trading area and carefully searched through it.

After a while, a stack of earthy yellow array flags and array plates, a white umbrella-shaped Immortal artifact, and a piece of jadeite lock, all emitting weak spiritual power fluctuations, appeared on the open space beside him.

These things made Jin Tong's eyes light up, but after glancing at Han Li, who was still searching, she swallowed her saliva and forcibly moved her gaze away from these things.

Time passed little by little, and more than half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

The red light curtain swayed for a while and dissipated.

Han Li took off the mask from his face, put it away, and let out a soft breath.

"Uncle, you spent a lot of Immortal Essence Stones. What good things did you buy?" Jin Tong immediately rode Pixiu Xiao Bai over, her eyes scanning the open space in front of Han Li.

"These are all useful things, and I can't let you eat them," Han Li said, waving his sleeve, and the things on the ground disappeared.

"Hmph..." Jin Tong pouted.

"By the way, is there any movement from the Grand Unity Gold Devouring Immortal at the moment?" Han Li changed the subject and asked.

"It seems that its power is recovering even faster than before... but luckily, it hasn't chased after us yet..." Jin Tong said, her face tightening upon hearing this.

"Jin Tong, how long can you stay in the Pixiu's belly?" Han Li asked solemnly.

"Xiao Bai's belly has its own space, which is filled with a special power. Although it cannot digest my body, it does affect my soul. I can only stay inside for half an hour at most each time, and then I need to come out," Jin Tong said, stroking Pixiu's head.

"Only half an hour..." Han Li frowned.

Jin Tong hiding in Pixiu's body can isolate the Grand Unity Gold Devouring Immortal's perception, which is very useful for escaping, but only being able to hide for half an hour is not enough.

If they really run, it's equivalent to the other party being able to lock onto them once every half hour.

"Xiao Bai, is there any way to extend the time Jin Tong can stay in your body?" Han Li asked, looking at Pixiu after pondering for a moment.

"The space in my body is the Pixiu clan's innate supernatural power, but unfortunately I haven't reached adulthood yet and can't completely control everything inside the space. Letting Boss stay inside for half an hour before was already my best effort. If you want to extend the time, I'm afraid... I'm afraid Boss can only find a way himself," Pixiu said, shaking his head.

"In that case, as long as I can strengthen my soul's protection, I should be able to extend the time you stay in the Pixiu's body. This is not difficult," Han Li said with a slight smile in his eyes after pondering for a moment, flipping his hand and putting on the Samsara Temple mask again.

Red light rose from the mask, quickly forming a red light curtain again.

He opened the trading area and searched through it for a while, quickly stopping at an item.

"Soul Armor Talisman? What is this?" Jin Tong asked, following Han Li's gaze.

"Try it, it might be useful," Han Li said with a faint smile.

In order to deal with the backlash of the Spirit Refining Technique, he had searched everywhere for things related to the soul and had occasionally seen the name of the Soul Armor Talisman.

As the name suggests, this is a special talisman that can add defense to the soul. Although the effect is good, the price is extremely high, requiring a full five hundred Immortal Essence Stones for one talisman, and it only lasts for a short period of time.

Han Li didn't hesitate too much, took out five hundred Immortal Essence Stones, and bought one.

With a flash of white light, an oval white talisman appeared in the Transfer Formation, with a pattern of cloud-like flocs engraved on it, emitting a strong soul power fluctuation, and also mixed with some other strange auras.
