Time flew by, and another half year passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, in a certain sea area at the edge of the Black Wind Sea, the spiritual energy of the region suddenly fluctuated violently. Countless dark clouds emerged, quickly forming a huge vortex.

A strong aura of law emanated from the dark clouds, causing the spiritual energy to fluctuate violently again. The sea surface immediately surged with waves, and a violent wind rose.

Fortunately, this place was close to the Desolate Howling Winds, and the sea area was already turbulent, so it wasn't particularly conspicuous.

After the dark clouds churned for a while, with a loud bang, a thick black beam of light shot down from the vortex, heading towards a certain spot on the sea surface.

The originally empty sea surface suddenly revealed rays of restrictive light, blocking the black beam of light.

Accompanied by a few crisp "chi chi chi" sounds, the black beam of light instantly pierced through these layers of light curtains and shot towards the depths.

Just at this moment, with a loud crash, a gray mountain peak phantom emerged, blocking in front of the black beam of light.

An earth-shattering roar erupted, the void trembled violently, and the nearby sea area also shook violently. Huge cracks appeared on the seabed, and it took a long time for everything to calm down.

After splitting out a beam of light, the dark clouds in mid-air quickly dissipated.

The several layers of restrictive light on the sea surface flashed and disappeared, revealing Han Li's figure.

His face was a little pale, but his expression showed some joy.

After letting out a breath, he waved his hand, and a ball of dense azure light shot out, circling the island with extreme speed.

The array flags and array disks around the island flew out, submerged into the azure light, and then flew back into his sleeve.

In the next moment, without much delay, Han Li rapidly made a series of hand gestures with his fingers, and streaks of golden lightning appeared on the surface of his body, then spread out, instantly forming a golden lightning array.

Accompanied by a rumble of thunder, the golden lightning array suddenly emitted a great light.

And his figure, along with the appearance of the lightning array, blurred and disappeared without a trace.

...

Within a dark space in the Black Wind Sea, a tall figure sat cross-legged.

This person was shrouded in a layer of black mist, making his figure even more blurred. A fierce aura emanated from the black mist.

Around him, there were also several figures sitting cross-legged, but they subconsciously dared not approach this tall figure.

Just then, the tall figure suddenly moved slightly. All the black mist on his body converged into his body, revealing a cold and resolute face. It was none other than Xiao Jinhan.

A strange look appeared on his face, and his gaze turned towards one direction.

The people next to him saw Xiao Jinhan stand up and hurriedly stood up as well.

These people were several Golden Immortal elders of the North Cold Immortal Palace, and Vice Palace Master Xue Ying was also here.

"Palace Master, what's wrong?" Xue Ying walked over and asked respectfully.

Xiao Jinhan ignored the others and turned his hand to take out a white jade disc.

This disc was as large as a washbasin, and seemed to be made of some kind of strange white jade. Many ancient and simple patterns were engraved on the edge, and the central area was filled with white square jade grids, each only the size of a bean, slowly moving around the center of the jade disc.

Soft white light emanated from the disc, flowing slowly like streams of white water, looking mysterious and unusual.

A black light appeared on a white square grid on the edge of the disc, looking very conspicuous.

However, the black light flickered twice and quickly disappeared.

Although the black light only flashed for a moment, a trace of law fluctuation could still be sensed from it.

"Oh, this is... someone refined a Dao Pill?" Xiao Jinhan's expression changed slightly, and he let out a soft cry.

"Dao Pill... It's impossible to have a Dao Pill Master in such a remote place as the Black Wind Sea, right? Could it be brought by those people from Cangliu Palace and Fulong Sect? But what are they refining Dao Pills for at this moment?" A look of surprise also appeared on Xue Ying's face. She did not doubt Xiao Jinhan's judgment at all.

"I can't guess either. Maybe they haven't been able to find the entrance to the Immortal Mansion and want to use some means." Xiao Jinhan slowly shook his head.

Xue Ying's expression changed slightly, and she nodded.

After Xiao Jinhan turned his hand and put away the white jade disc, he walked forward and quickly stopped.

A huge blue light gate stood not far ahead, hundreds of feet tall. Countless ancient patterns were carved on the gate, emitting an incomparably dazzling blue light.

The middle of the light gate was even more brilliantly blue, surging like flowing water, vaguely forming a blue vortex.

The blue light in the light gate occasionally brightened sharply,衝擊ing outward.

Around the blue light, nine huge white jade pillars stood, forming a nine-palace shape. Each jade pillar was covered with dense and mysterious patterns.

The ground around the nine jade pillars was also engraved with extremely complex array patterns, forming a huge formation.

A cultivator sat cross-legged on top of each jade pillar. Ouyang Kuishan and the other two were among them, chanting incantations.

Dazzling white light surged out from the jade pillars and the formation, forming a thick white light curtain, shrouding the light gate inside.

Each time the blue light crashed, the white light curtain would tremble violently, causing the surrounding nine jade pillars to shake slightly, and the bodies of the cultivators on top of them to tremble as well.

"The day of the Immortal Mansion's descent is getting closer and closer, and the impact tremors will become greater and greater. Order everyone to pay more attention during this period. We must not be careless and make mistakes," Xiao Jinhan instructed.

"Palace Master, rest assured, we have made ample preparations for this matter, and there will be no problems," Xue Ying said confidently.

"In addition, keep a close eye on Ouyang Kuishan and the others. Don't let them be lazy and not put in any effort," Xiao Jinhan nodded and added.

"Hehe, they wouldn't dare. Besides, they have no choice once they get here," Xue Ying sneered.

"How is the situation outside now?" Xiao Jinhan nodded and then asked.

"Those people from Cangliu Palace and Fulong Sect are looking for us like headless flies, but the Palace Master is wise and has made careful arrangements in advance. Although those forces are searching for us like crazy, they have gained nothing," Xue Ying said with a smile, her tone full of schadenfreude.

"Cangliu Palace and Fulong Sect are not to be feared. What about the people from the Reincarnation Hall?" Xiao Jinhan smiled slightly and then asked.

"The people from the Reincarnation Hall are still very secretive and have not shown themselves on the surface. However, even if they discover the outermost restrictions, if they want to fully break them, the traps we have set up will be activated without anyone knowing, sealing them in one fell swoop. Although it may not be able to annihilate them all, it will definitely greatly damage these thieves. Even if some of them can escape, it will take at least a year and a half. By then, the entrance to the Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion will have already closed, and they will have no choice," Xue Ying said with a smile.

Xiao Jinhan nodded in satisfaction and looked at the blue light gate, his eyes filled with scorching light.

Just then, a white light suddenly appeared on the body of a white-robed, sword-browed man not far from him.

This person was Feng, the man who had come to the Black Wind Sea in advance. A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he turned his hand to take out a white array disk.

Light flashed on the array disk, and a line of words appeared.

The sword-browed man took a look, his face changed drastically, and he immediately walked quickly towards Xiao Jinhan.

"Palace Master, something bad has happened!"

...

Above a sea area near Wumeng Island, the void fluctuated, and streaks of golden lightning emerged, then condensed into a golden lightning array.

Han Li's figure emerged in the lightning array, looking around while releasing his spiritual sense.

Feeling that there was nothing unusual around him, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his hand to take out a jade box containing a black pill, emitting faint fluctuations of law. It was the Void Essence Pill.

Although he had successfully refined it once, this time's refining was still inevitable.

He used up all of the materials to refine just this one pill.

He looked at the Void Essence Pill in his hand, his eyes flickering slightly.

After this alchemy, Han Li had a better understanding of the Void Essence Pill. Although this object was very similar to a Dao Pill, its effect did not seem to be used to comprehend the laws within it.

But he couldn't guess what to do with the Void Essence Pill.

Han Li looked at the Void Essence Pill for a few more moments, then turned his hand and put it away. He looked forward, his brows furrowed slightly.

Another half a year had passed, and Daoist Huyan still had no news. Calculating the time, it should be almost time for the Immortal Mansion to open. Could something really have happened?

Han Li was silent for a moment, then turned his hand to take out the crimson communication array disk and activated it with a hand gesture.

Bright red light emerged from the array disk, forming a crimson array.

He moved his lips slightly, sending a message.

The crimson array disk turned gently, and the array light flickered, but Daoist Huyan never replied.

Han Li frowned tightly. He didn't even reply to the message. Could something really have happened?

After a moment of pondering, he flew into the sea, and at the same time turned his hand to take out the Ever-Changing Alliance mask, put it on his face, and opened the message interface.

If something really happened to the Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion, he should be able to find some clues here.

Han Li's expression froze.

The interface for transmitting messages in the Ever-Changing Alliance was now a mess, with countless messages intertwined, lively and incomparably.

He hurriedly looked through them, and the more he looked, the stranger his expression became.

In these years, he had either concentrated on refining the Heavy Water True Wheel or on refining pills. He hadn't paid attention to the affairs of the Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion. Now, after reading these messages, he had some understanding of the current situation in the Black Wind Sea.

In the past three years, the entrance to the Immortal Mansion had not appeared for a long time, and all forces were searching for it with all their might.

However, the reason why the Ever-Changing Alliance was so lively at the moment was because of another message:

"Entrance to the Immortal Mansion, beneath Red Moon Island"

Although this news was of unknown authenticity, it caused a great uproar in the Ever-Changing Alliance.

"Red Moon Island..." Han Li muttered to himself.

He would naturally not forget this place. He and Jiao San and others had killed the Red Moon Island Master there.

Was there something else beneath the island, and was the entrance to the Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion really there?

His eyes flickered, and he took out a black crystal, which was the Moyu Crystal.

This item was found by that porpoise beast near Red Moon Island. Jiao San seemed to be quite concerned about this stone, and there was also the Void Essence Pill...

Various thoughts surged in Han Li's mind, but all of these things vaguely pointed to Red Moon Island.

"Could this news be true..." he said softly.
