“Fellow Daoist, please don't be angry. Actually, I'm not very clear about what you mentioned earlier... I only remember that after my severe injury relapsed, I left my last words and then lost consciousness... It wasn't until a few days ago that my spiritual sense suddenly awakened, and I realized that I had already fallen and turned into this wisp of Yin Soul, attached to this Birth Soul Flower..." Lomon's Yin Soul shuddered slightly in the face of Han Li's questioning, but then sighed and said.

"Since you awakened several days ago, why didn't you appear and instead hid sneakily in this Birth Soul Flower?" Han Li asked, his expression unchanged.

"This... Firstly, my wisp of aura is really too weak. Although it wouldn't last long anyway, it might dissipate instantly if I leave the Birth Soul Flower. Secondly, it's because... I'm a little apprehensive about the existence of Daoist Liu." Lomon's Yin Soul said with some hesitation.

"You recognize me?" Han Li frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Actually, to be honest, after I woke up, I was able to barely know some of the recent happenings on the island through a faint connection with the remaining sculptures on the island during the clan's prayers and worship... So I know a little about your previous protection of Wumeng Island, Daoist." Lomon's Yin Soul paused and then answered.

Han Li stared coldly at the black little man in front of him, without saying a word, his mind racing.

Based on the current signs, what the other party said should be the truth. Most likely, when he fell, some of the aura of his main body's Divine Soul was absorbed by this Birth Soul Flower, which possesses the power to gather souls, and mixed with it, which is why he didn't notice it at all.

Now that this flower has been ripened to a certain extent, its soul-gathering ability has been enhanced, allowing the other party's wisp of aura to re-condense into this wisp of Yin Soul. Although it has been temporarily stabilized with his reinforcement, judging from the other party's intermittent speech, it probably won't last long.

Seeing Han Li remain silent, Lomon's Yin Soul said awkwardly:

"I tried to muddle through earlier as a last resort. I hope you don't mind, Daoist... I also know that you want to walk the path of the Earth Immortal... I don't dare to hope that you will help me restore my true form. As long as you promise to continue to protect my people in the future, I am willing to tell you everything you want to know."

"Speaking of which, after coming to Wumeng Island, I have received some favor from the Lomon family. I will naturally protect the Lomon family a little within my ability." Han Li said slowly.

"Lomon believes that Daoist Liu is a person of his word. Feel free to ask any questions you have, Daoist. I will definitely answer them to the best of my knowledge." Lomon's Yin Soul nodded and said.

"First, tell me about this 'Inconstant Alliance' mentioned by the mask just now. What exactly is it?" Han Li glanced at the Ox-Head Mask still floating in the air and asked.

"This... the Inconstant Alliance... how should I put it? It can be said to be an extremely mysterious organization. I don't know the specifics of this organization. I only joined it accidentally back then... However, the fact that I was able to achieve something later was all thanks to this alliance..." Lomon's Yin Soul seemed to hesitate for a moment before answering.

"Oh, how so?" Han Li asked, his heart stirred, somewhat puzzled.

"My original aptitude was ordinary. Although I had some opportunities and good fortune, I advanced to the Body Integration Stage after stumbling all the way, but I was always stuck in a bottleneck after that. I had no hope for the Great Dao in this life... Later, with the help of this Inconstant Alliance, I obtained various cultivation resources and guidance on cultivation techniques. From then on, it was as if I had suddenly seen the light, and my cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. I advanced to the Mahayana Stage in one fell swoop, and finally succeeded in transcending the tribulation and becoming an immortal... After that, after I don't know how many tens of thousands of years of hard cultivation, seeing that there was no hope of comprehending the power of laws, I embarked on this path of the Earth Immortal with the help of this alliance."

"The Inconstant Alliance greatly subsidized you. It wouldn't be free, would it?" Han Li nodded thoughtfully and asked again.

"That's natural... After becoming an immortal, according to the agreement, I served the Inconstant Alliance for tens of thousands of years in vain to repay the resources consumed in my previous cultivation, and then I was able to regain my freedom... However, after that, in order to continue to maintain my lower-level membership, I still stayed in the alliance." Lomon's Yin Soul sighed lightly and continued.

"Could it be that after becoming an immortal, continuing to retain membership in this alliance has some other great benefits?" Han Li raised an eyebrow.

"What Daoist Liu said is true. The mystery and power of this Inconstant Alliance are far beyond what ordinary people can imagine... Moreover, in the alliance, regardless of status, everyone believes in the principle that everything can be exchanged... After I was seriously injured back then, I wanted to reshape my Earth Fiend Incarnation. It was also through this alliance that I was able to exchange for a Birth Soul Flower again." Lomon's Yin Soul said slowly.

"This is a bit interesting..." Han Li stroked his chin and pondered.

"It can be said that as long as you are willing to pay the corresponding price, you can get almost everything you want in the Inconstant Alliance... Even... you can also hire experts to help kill enemies." Lomon's Yin Soul seemed to recall many things from the past, and his tone became a little excited.

"I never believe that there are deals in the world that are profitable without any investment. If there are so many benefits to continuing to stay in the Inconstant Alliance, the price to pay is probably not small, right?" Han Li changed the subject and said.

"That's indeed the case... The Inconstant Alliance is not a place where you can stay if you want to. The rules within the alliance are strict. To maintain lower-level membership, you either have to pay a large amount of resources to the alliance on a regular basis... or you have to complete some tasks assigned by the higher-ups... Otherwise, not only will you be expelled from the alliance, but you will also pay an inestimable price..." Lomon smiled bitterly.

"What kind of tasks?" Han Li blinked his eyes and showed a hint of interest.

"It's embarrassing to say, but I've only performed one task for the alliance... It can be said to be extremely dangerous. It was in that task that my Earth Fiend Incarnation blocked a fatal blow for my main body and collapsed. In the end, only a damaged head was left, and my main body was also severely injured. I managed to escape with my life." Lomon's Yin Soul shook his head.

"You hid in this secret realm after that task, recovering while cultivating the Birth Soul Flower, right?" Han Li thought for a while and then said.

"Yes... And since then, I have never participated in any tasks in the alliance again... In the following thousands of years, I have been gritting my teeth and relying on paying resources to barely maintain my status in the alliance..." Lomon's Yin Soul replied.

"If that's the case, then why did you fall? As far as I know, even if your Earth Fiend Incarnation completely collapses, it shouldn't affect your life, let alone your incarnation having a head left, allowing it to continue to receive the power of faith." Han Li said with some confusion.

Hearing this, Lomon's Yin Soul recalled the past and fell into silence.

After a long time, he shook his head and said somewhat sadly:

"My physical injuries have naturally recovered long ago, but due to the limited power of laws that can be used due to the destruction of the incarnation, I hid in the secret realm for a full eight thousand years... But just then, an enemy found his way to my door somehow. Helpless, I had to sneak out and fight with my main body. In the end, I killed him at the cost of serious injuries... Although I was able to return to the secret realm afterwards, both the new and old injuries broke out together, and I was ultimately unable to recover..."

"The tasks are so dangerous, so the people who perform them will naturally not be ordinary people. Could it be that all the lower-level members in this Inconstant Alliance are like you, all at the Ancestral God level?" Han Li asked with a frown.

"This... I don't know..." Lomon's Yin Soul shook his head.

"You've performed a task, so even if you don't have any acquaintances in the alliance, you should have seen other members of the alliance, right?" Han Li asked again.

"You don't know, Daoist... Members of the Inconstant Alliance only meet during tasks, and there is no contact between them on weekdays... Moreover, everyone has to wear a special mask issued by the alliance when they meet." Lomon's Yin Soul explained.

"This is the mask you're talking about, right? This thing is indeed a bit peculiar. Your main body has already fallen, leaving only a wisp of Yin Soul that doesn't even count as a Divine Soul. I thought my Divine Sense was strong enough, but I couldn't detect it, yet it can still sense it." Han Li pointed to the Ox-Head Mask and said.

"The peculiarity of this mask is not limited to this... It can not only shield the wearer's aura and true appearance, but it is also a secret treasure for members to communicate with each other... Once the wearer loses their membership, this mask will destroy itself." Lomon's Yin Soul replied slowly.

"What do you plan to do about what the mask said earlier?" Han Li asked, his mind turning.

"You're joking, Daoist. In my current state, I naturally can't go as agreed... Even if the alliance wants to investigate, my remnant soul will have already disappeared without a trace... It's just that if... they vent their anger on my clan, I hope you can keep your promise and help them as much as possible." The black little man smiled miserably, then thought of something and said with a worried look.

"You're playing a good game. If the Inconstant Alliance is really as powerful as you say, how can I protect this Wumeng Island alone?" Han Li sneered.

"I naturally don't dare to expect you to fight against them head-on, but I only ask that you can leave a trace of the Wumeng Island clan's bloodline. I will be extremely grateful." Lomon's Yin Soul began to beg Han Li bitterly.

"Perhaps there is another way, but I don't know if it will work." Han Li glanced at him and said meaningfully.

"What way?" Lomon's Yin Soul asked quickly.

"How about I go to participate in this task in your place? What do you think?" Han Li said slowly, his eyes flashing slightly.

"Daoist Liu, I mentioned earlier... that all the tasks issued by the alliance are extremely dangerous. Are you really going?" Lomon's Yin Soul was stunned upon hearing this, somewhat incredulously.

"I won't hide it from you. From what you said just now, this Inconstant Alliance seems to be very useful to me. So I need an identity to stay in it. Since this mask can shield the wearer's aura and true appearance, even if I go in your place, I think no one will notice, right?" Han Li pondered slightly before saying frankly.
