Wang Yu
Chapter 16: Joint Hands
Hearing this, Old Ancestor Cold Flame's expression softened slightly, while his eyes flickered, as if he was still somewhat hesitant.
"Is that so? If that's the case, why did you release it secretly, without even informing Fellow Daoist Cold Flame?" Han Li smiled faintly, not taking it to heart.
"This... it was forced by the situation, and this matter was indeed inappropriate." Xiong Shan stammered, somewhat embarrassed.
In fact, his move was not really to sneak attack Old Ancestor Cold Flame, but more to put the initiative in his own hands in case of emergencies. Of course, it also carried some thoughts of guarding against the other party. Now that Han Li had stirred things up like this, it was naturally difficult to explain.
"Fellow Daoist Xiong, this is not your fault. It was I who trusted others too easily and was too negligent." Old Ancestor Cold Flame's expression turned cold again, saying indifferently.
Hearing this, Xiong Shan knew he was in the wrong and didn't explain further.
"Cold Flame Fellow Daoist, you and I can be considered old acquaintances. Although this Youhan Palace has many good things, as the saying goes, risks and opportunities coexist. There must be many dangers inside. Why don't you and I join forces and explore it together? You know my strength, it should be able to help you a lot." Han Li said to Old Ancestor Cold Flame.
Old Ancestor Cold Flame frowned, remaining silent.
"Cold Flame Fellow Daoist, don't worry. I am grateful for your teaching of the Great Zhou Celestial Origin Technique back then. Although Han is not a good person, I can confidently say that I can't do things like plotting against friends." Han Li glanced at Xiong Shan and smiled.
A cold light flashed in Xiong Shan's eyes, and he snorted.
"Alright, in that case, let's travel together. Please take care of me, Fellow Daoist Han." Old Ancestor Cold Flame pondered slightly, then smiled.
"Cold Flame Fellow Daoist is too kind. In that case, let's break this last layer of starlight restriction first." Han Li nodded and smiled.
"What do you two mean by this?" Seeing Han Li and the other having a pleasant conversation, Xiong Shan's expression became somewhat ugly.
"Fellow Daoist Xiong, don't misunderstand. Actually, there is no deep hatred between you and me. It's just that you rashly attacked without allowing me to explain, which caused a bit of misunderstanding. In my opinion, let's just let this matter pass. Right now, we only have one goal. It's best if we work together to break this restriction. We don't have much time left." Han Li turned to look at Xiong Shan and said.
"Fellow Daoist Han's words are not bad. The current situation is that cooperation is beneficial to both of us. Cold Flame Fellow Daoist, I was suspicious before, please don't take offense. If we find any treasures later, let you pick one first." Hearing this, Xiong Shan pondered slightly, then smiled.
"Fellow Daoist Xiong is too kind. Actually, now that Fellow Daoist Han and this fellow Daoist have joined, our chances are naturally greater. I just don't know how to address this fellow Daoist?" Hearing this, Old Ancestor Cold Flame smiled slightly, without declining, but then turned his gaze to Lu Yuqing.
Hearing this, Xiong Shan also looked towards Lu Yuqing, and then looked at Han Li again.
"Senior is joking, this woman's trivial cultivation, how dare she associate with the two of you as equals. I just came with Brother Han to broaden my horizons. You can just give this woman one or two of whatever treasures you don't like." Before Han Li could speak, Lu Yuqing quickly waved her hand and said.
This woman seemed to have heard something from the conversation between Han Li and Old Ancestor Cold Flame, and changed her address to Han Li accordingly.
Hearing these words, Old Ancestor Cold Flame and Xiong Shan's expressions softened slightly, and they didn't say anything more.
"To avoid complications, let's begin now. You two please continue to cast your spells to break the restriction, and I will attack at the same time." Han Li didn't explain much, and spoke.
"Alright!" Xiong Shan and the other replied.
After the words fell, Xiong Shan waved his hand, put away the golden long sword and golden banner, then shook his body and landed in the previous location, his hands spinning like wheels in front of him.
Old Ancestor Cold Flame also turned around and began to cast spells, and the five spiritual treasures in mid-air began to operate again, and the five-colored light pillars began to flicker again.
The starlight curtain shone brightly, rising up a layer of dazzling starlight, among which there were countless star patterns, turning up and down, looking profound and ingenious.
Clusters of five-colored light balls flew out from the light pillars and hit the starlight curtain.
Rumble!
A series of loud noises exploded, and the originally calmed starlight curtain trembled again, emitting bursts of dazzling starlight.
Han Li put away the Seven Luminaries Star Ring in front of him, without offering any treasures, and fully operated the Great Zhou Celestial Origin Technique, and dazzling starlight appeared on both of his arms.
Immediately afterwards, his arms blurred and suddenly transformed into two groups of phantoms, frantically striking towards the starlight restriction.
In an instant, the sound of howling fist winds rose sharply!
Dense starlight fist shadows emerged alternately, like a storm, and slammed fiercely onto the starlight curtain.
Lu Yuqing didn't stand idly by either. A flash of green light appeared in her hand, and a green feather fan appeared, which she fanned out fiercely.
Countless green wind blades flew out and hit the starlight curtain.
The combined power of the four people immediately shocked the earth.
Although the starlight curtain was mysterious, it couldn't withstand the four people's frantic attacks. The dazzling starlight on the surface quickly dimmed, and soon became only a thin layer.
But at this moment, a dull rumbling sound suddenly rang out in the sky above the island.
The white mist in the sky seemed to have been stimulated by something and began to spin, forming a huge vortex.
Han Li frowned and looked towards the sky.
"This is the starlight restriction communicating with external stellar power to replenish itself. If we can't break it in one fell swoop, it will quickly return to its previous state, everyone don't hold back!" Xiong Shan shouted loudly.
"That's right, we must do it in one go, and we must not let this restriction slow down!" Old Ancestor Cold Flame also said quickly.
The two quickly cast spells, and the five-colored light pillars shone brightly. Countless five-colored light balls flew out, instantly condensed together, and formed the previous huge light ball again, hitting the starlight curtain.
Han Li raised his eyebrows, also moved his lips, and began to chant.
A layer of golden light appeared all over his body, and his body expanded rapidly, instantly becoming several times larger. At the same time, a layer of golden fluff appeared on his body, transforming into the Mountainous Giant Ape form.
Above his chest and abdomen, eighteen star spots were bright and dazzling, reflecting each other with the golden light on his body.
The Mountainous Giant Ape clenched his fists, hammered his chest, then roared and punched out fiercely.
Buzz!
A flash of golden light appeared in mid-air, and an extremely huge golden fist shadow emerged, with strands of starlight power wrapped around it, striking down on the starlight curtain.
Lu Yuqing also shouted娇娇, and the green feather fan in her hand shone brightly with green light. With one fan, a torrent of green wind surged out, and then turned into a green wind dragon, which slammed down fiercely.
Rumble!
Several consecutive shocking explosions!
The starlight curtain twisted violently, and cracks finally appeared on it, spreading rapidly.
With a loud "bang"!
The starlight curtain shattered, turning into a rich and incomparable starlight.
But these starlight did not dissipate, but quickly gathered in one place, turning into a huge vortex, and an unspeakable terrifying suction force swept out from it.
Han Li and the other four had no time to react at all. With a "swoosh" sound, they were sucked into the huge starlight vortex.
Han Li only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a burst of dizziness in his mind.
When his vision returned, he was already on a wide stone platform. Old Ancestor Cold Flame and the others were also nearby, with their eyes closed, seemingly not yet awake. Judging from the positions of each person, it was roughly the same as when they joined forces to cast spells to break the restriction before.
This stone platform was a dark cyan color, and it was more than a hundred zhang in size, giving people a simple and ancient feeling.
Under the feet of the four people was a teleportation array, which was still buzzing and emitting bursts of white light.
At this time, Han Li was still a little dizzy in his mind. He shook his head, and his mind became clearer. He looked around.
He was now in a blue space, with a sun hanging in the sky, white clouds floating, and a gentle breeze blowing. Where was the black sea area full of cold mist before?
"It seems that this is the real Youhan Palace..." Han Li thought to himself, looking ahead.
About a mile away from the stone platform was a mountain peak, towering straight, with the top of the mountain submerged in the clouds, at least four or five thousand zhang high.
The entire mountain peak was silvery white, and the mountain was extremely steep.
The top of the mountain surrounded by white clouds flickered with a faint purple light. From here, one could vaguely see that the purple light was a purple palace.
A straight and steep staircase, extending from the purple palace on the top of the mountain, extended all the way to the foot of the mountain.
The stairs also showed a silvery white color, and they sparkled, looking extremely spectacular, like a ladder to the heavens.
Han Li looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart moved.
But in the next moment, his brows suddenly frowned.
For some reason, the environment in front of him vaguely gave him a feeling of familiarity.
Han Li looked around again, trying to recall, but there was no result, so he shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and raised his foot to walk out of the magic circle.
As a result, as soon as he made this move, a huge force surged from the teleportation array, firmly imprisoning his body, and he couldn't move at all.
He immediately frowned, looked at the white light around him, and a trace of thoughtfulness flashed across his face.
Not long after, Old Ancestor Cold Flame, Xiong Shan, and Lu Yuqing also woke up one after another.
Seeing the scene in front of her, Lu Yuqing let out a low exclamation.
Old Man Cold Flame and Xiong Shan ignored everything else and looked at the purple palace on the top of the mountain, and a fiery look appeared in their eyes.
However, neither of them moved.
"Is this the real Youhan Palace... It's really magnificent." Lu Yuqing exclaimed, taking a step forward.
As a result, her body tightened and she couldn't move at all, and her pretty face suddenly changed.
"This teleportation array is still running. We can only go out after it completely stops running." Old Ancestor Cold Flame said slowly.
Hearing this, Lu Yuqing was stunned and nodded to Old Ancestor Cold Flame to thank him.
Han Li glanced at Old Ancestor Cold Flame without saying anything.
The reason why he used some provocative means to win this person over was because this person had already entered here before.
With his experience in secret realms and dangerous places from the Human World to the present, he knew that in an unfamiliar environment, having a relatively familiar person to lead the way could save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
