"Who are you?"

Han Li stared at the girl, his gaze lingering briefly on the dragon horns on her head before quickly moving away. He asked in a slow voice, the coldness in his tone lessening considerably.

As he spoke, he made a gesture.

Lightning flashed around him, and the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords scattered throughout Dragon Abyss Immortal Territory flew back, filing one after another into his sleeve.

"Little girl is named Chen Ruyan, and I hold the position of Dao Ancestor of the Water Source. Fellow Daoist Han, please don't stand on ceremony, just call me Ruyan," the blue-haired girl said with a giggle.

Hearing this, Han Li's pupils constricted despite already having guessed the other party's identity.

He said nothing, only stared at her.

"Although I captured Fellow Daoist Han's partner, it was only under orders, and I just returned her to you. Fellow Daoist shouldn't be so hostile towards me, right?" Chen Ruyan pouted slightly, looking aggrieved.

"Are you also under the command of the Celestial Court?" Han Li asked, his eyes flashing.

"Little girl hasn't truly joined the Celestial Court, but I occasionally help the Celestial Court with some things. It's out of necessity... You know, Gu Huo Jin is too strong, and I don't dare offend him excessively," Chen Ruyan said with a smile, answering every question without a hint of hostility.

"According to that Feng Qingshui, wasn't Wan'er sent to the Celestial Court already? How could she be with you?" Han Li asked in a deep voice.

Chen Ruyan just giggled upon hearing this, and said nothing.

Han Li frowned.

Just then, a figure flew out from the blue spirit domain, it was Feng Qingshui.

The injuries on his body were no longer visible, and his aura had recovered quite a bit.

"Lord Ruyan, this subordinate is incompetent and has caused you trouble." Feng Qingshui bowed to Chen Ruyan, his face full of shame.

Han Li's gaze turned cold as he saw Feng Qingshui.

He was not surprised by Feng Qingshui's current attitude.

Chen Ruyan was the Dao Ancestor of the Water Source, while Feng Qingshui was the Dao Ancestor of a branch of Water attribute laws. There was a natural subordinate relationship between them. Feng Qingshui was essentially Chen Ruyan's subordinate.

This kind of subordinate relationship was not uncommon among the Dao Ancestors. Almost every Source Dao Ancestor had a group of lower-level Dao Ancestors following and attached to them.

"Fellow Daoist Han's strength is now formidable, and I cannot defeat you. It is only natural that you lost to him, so there is no need to be ashamed," Chen Ruyan said indifferently, changing her attitude from when she spoke to Han Li.

Feng Qingshui glanced at Han Li with a complicated expression, and nodded.

"Fellow Daoist Han, it was indeed Feng Qingshui who captured your partner, but he was acting under the orders of the Celestial Court. I hope Fellow Daoist will consider that I have already returned Fellow Daoist Nangong, and not make things difficult for him in the future. Although Feng Qingshui and I occasionally help the Celestial Court with some things, we are not on the same side as Gu Huo Jin, and have no intention of being enemies with the Reincarnation Palace." Chen Ruyan turned around and gave a curtsy to Han Li.

Hearing this, Han Li felt a sense of understanding.

"So that's how it is. Gu Huo Jin ordered these two to capture Wan'er, but now that the Reincarnation Palace is launching a full-scale attack on the various immortal territories and is at war with the Celestial Court, they can't see through the future situation, so they didn't hand Wan'er over to the Celestial Court, but kept her in their hands to see which way the wind blows. Previously, Feng Qingshui lied that he had handed Wan'er over to the Celestial Court, probably to deliberately anger me and see my strength. After seeing my strength, they were even more unwilling to offend the Reincarnation Palace, so they sent Wan'er back."

Han Li's mind raced, and he instantly analyzed the current situation and the other party's possible motives.

"Since Fellow Daoist Chen says so, then I will spare you this time, but if you dare to attack the people around me again, you won't be so lucky next time." Han Li glanced at Feng Qingshui, and said.

Then, he made a gesture and dismissed the Time Domain, and then golden lightning appeared on his body.

With a loud thunderclap, his figure disappeared.

Chen Ruyan looked at the place where Han Li had just stood, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly.

"I didn't expect the Reincarnation Palace to have recruited such a master. Coupled with that mysterious and unpredictable Palace Lord of Reincarnation who has never truly appeared, the outcome of the war with the Celestial Court is even more difficult to predict." Chen Ruyan said with a light laugh.

"Lord Ruyan, you handed Nangong Wan over to Han Li. How will we answer when the Supreme asks about this matter?" Feng Qingshui asked, looking worried.

"It doesn't matter. Just say that you were about to send that person to the Celestial Court when the people from the Reincarnation Palace suddenly came to the door and rescued Nangong Wan. The Celestial Court is now at war with the Reincarnation Palace, and they won't dare do anything to us." Chen Ruyan shook her head, and said.

"Yes. By the way, Lord Ruyan, about that Han Li just now..." Feng Qingshui's expression relaxed, but then he hesitated.

"Say what you want to say," Chen Ruyan said.

"I saw this person in the Gray Realm about two thousand years ago, along with a few others. One of them, according to the news I just received, was a Demon Territory Prince. I suspect he has some connection with the Demon Territory," Feng Qingshui said.

"Oh, what's going on? Tell me the details," Chen Ruyan's eyebrows twitched.

Feng Qingshui did not dare to be negligent, and then told the story of what happened in the Gray Realm that day in detail.

"From the peak of the Gold Immortal to the current peak of the Grand Luo, it is impossible to cultivate in two thousand years. He must have hidden his true strength back then... As for him and that Demon Territory Prince breaking through the void and going to the Demon Territory in the end, although it may not have been him who secretly made the move, it must have been greatly related to this person. In this way, things become complicated. Could it be that the Reincarnation Palace and the Demon Territory have colluded long ago? And that Old Ancestor Liu Qi escaped from the Gray Realm, could it also be the work of the Reincarnation Palace..." Chen Ruyan's eyes narrowed, and a flash of light flickered inside.

"Isn't it already a well-known fact that the Demon Territory and the Reincarnation Palace are related? The mask of the Reincarnation Palace can construct the means of trading from a distance, it must have the assistance of extremely refined Spatial Laws. In the current True Immortal Realm, only the people of the Demon Territory can cultivate Spatial Laws to such an extent," Feng Qingshui said.

"There are other secrets about this matter that you don't know," Chen Ruyan shook her head slightly, and a strange color flashed in her eyes.

Feng Qingshui was stunned upon hearing this, and was curious, but when he saw Chen Ruyan's expression, he wisely did not ask further.

"Back then in the Gray Realm, if Old Ancestor Liu Qi was also rescued by the Reincarnation Palace, then the Barbaric Wasteland Realm may have already allied with the Reincarnation Palace. This Reincarnation Palace is so powerful, it's simply ubiquitous!" Feng Qingshui said, mentioning another matter, and a hint of horror appeared on his face.

"What do you think? If the Reincarnation Palace didn't have this ability, how could it have confronted the Celestial Court openly and secretly for so many years and still stand tall?" Chen Ruyan said indifferently.

Feng Qingshui clicked his tongue secretly, and said nothing more.

"The storm is brewing, it seems that a world-shattering disaster is really going to befall the True Immortal Realm. I just don't know if we can survive it safely," Chen Ruyan sighed.

"Lord Ruyan, are you thinking too much? We are Dao Ancestors, as long as we don't participate in the struggle between the Celestial Court and the Reincarnation Palace, we should be fine, right?" Feng Qingshui said nonchalantly.

"Fine? When the disaster arrives, anyone can be caught up in it. For example, today, if I hadn't arrived in time, you would probably have died," Chen Ruyan said.

The expression on Feng Qingshui's face froze, and he lowered his head.

"Forget it, it's useless to think about these things. Let's take it one step at a time," Chen Ruyan shook her head, and her figure disappeared in a flash.

Feng Qingshui stood in place for a moment, and then turned into a blue light, flying towards Misty Dragon Sect.

The shattered space in Dragon Abyss Immortal Territory had returned to its original state, and the chaotic Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy had gradually returned to calm. The sky slowly returned to clear.

At the same time, in the sky above a small, desolate island on the frontier, golden lightning flashed, and Han Li's figure appeared, landing on the island.

He spread his divine sense and probed around slightly, and found nothing unusual. He made a gesture and opened several layers of restrictions, covering the entire desolate island.

From the outside, the desolate island disappeared without a trace.

After doing these things, he took out two crystal blue pills and swallowed them, and then took out two high-grade Immortal Essence Stones and held them, absorbing the Immortal Spiritual Power inside to recover.

After fighting two Dao Ancestors in a row, Han Li's vital energy was greatly consumed.

The crystal blue pills were obtained from that Shui Changtian's storage treasure. They were recovery pills of the late Grand Luo stage, and the effect was quite good, coupled with the assistance of two high-grade Immortal Essence Stones.

Before long, the vital energy in his body recovered by nearly half.

Han Li did not continue to cultivate, and stood up with some impatience, opened the Flower Branch Space entrance, and entered it.

Nangong Wan was surrounded by a layer of white light, quietly suspended here, sleeping peacefully.

Lying on the ground not far away was a person, it was the Yang Mountain Sect Master. After soul-searching this person before, he had casually thrown him into the Flower Branch Space.

Han Li waved his hand and sent out a golden light, rolled this person to his front, and cast a spell to carefully erase the traces of the Time Law remaining on this person.

Then, he raised his hand and sent out a golden lightning, rolled up the Yang Mountain Sect Master, and sent him out from the Flower Branch Space entrance.

However, Han Li unceremoniously kept the storage treasure on Yang Mountain.

With a flash of golden lightning, the figure of Yang Mountain disappeared, not knowing where he was teleported to.

He originally planned to use the Yang Mountain Sect Master to exchange for some information about Nangong Wan.

Now that Nangong Wan had been found, this Yang Mountain Sect Master was useless. It was not appropriate to keep him by his side, and he was not a bloodthirsty person, so it was better to send him away.

After doing these things, Han Li brought Nangong Wan to the pavilion.

He took out a delicate ivory bed and placed it here, carefully placing her flat on it.

Han Li sat down next to her, quietly looking at Nangong Wan's sleeping face, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Since ascending to the True Immortal Realm, he had missed the person on the bed countless times in his heart. Although the two had met before, Nangong had not recovered her memory at that time. If Jiao San was right, the two of them would finally be able to meet today.

Han Li didn't look for too long, took a light breath, quickly calmed his mind, and pointed a finger on Nangong Wan's forehead.

A series of blue lines immediately appeared on Nangong Wan's forehead, forming a sealing formation, but it was not complicated.

Han Li's eyes narrowed, and the light on his fingertip brightened slightly, forming a cone shape, gently piercing the blue sealing formation.

The sealing formation collapsed immediately, flickered twice, and quickly receded.

Nangong Wan's long eyelashes trembled lightly twice, and she slowly opened her eyes.
