With this thought, Han Li raised his hand and uttered a soft "Hurry."

"Whoosh!"

A fiery red light flashed suddenly. A fire-attribute Immortal Sword shot out, circling the secret room like a fiery serpent, before hurtling back towards him.

At the same time, Han Li slapped the bottom of the Xuantian Gourd, and the emerald gourd spun around immediately, its mouth facing the fire sword, and a beam of green light shot out from it, engulfing the sword.

As soon as the fiery Immortal Sword was entangled by the green light, it stopped in its tracks, and the flames on its surface rapidly dissipated.

Seeing this, Han Li was slightly stunned, as the scene before him seemed no different from before.

After a moment of contemplation, he made another sword gesture, attempting to control the flying sword to break free from the green light.

As a result, just as flames began to rise on the sword's body, a streak of dark green light shot out from the gourd, shattering it into pieces with a "crack."

The broken sword fragments, carrying blazing flames, were smashed apart by the destructive light. Before their power could be released, they were swept up by another beam of green light and drawn into the gourd.

This series of changes happened so quickly that Han Li was stunned for a moment before he reacted, hurriedly sending his spiritual sense into the gourd to investigate.

Inside the second level of the Xuantian Gourd, he found the remnants of the fire-attribute Immortal Sword.

These fragments were being adsorbed onto the fluctuations around the green sphere, slowly rotating, with sparkling crystal light flowing from them.

The spiritual power contained within was being gradually stripped away, absorbed into the inner wall, and used to replenish the Xuantian Gourd.

What surprised Han Li even more was that in the void outside the green sphere, a spark-sized crimson point was suspended, with faint fluctuations of fire-attribute law power emanating from it.

Clearly, the law power contained within the fire-attribute Immortal Sword had not been absorbed by the gourd, but had been stored away.

This further deepened the doubts in Han Li's mind. He wanted to try again to see what changes had occurred in the Xuantian Gourd's abilities.

However, at that moment, his brow suddenly twitched, and he withdrew his mind from the gourd, turning his gaze towards the outside of the secret room and softly saying, "Awake?"

With that, he waved his hand, put away the Xuantian Gourd, and got up to leave the secret room, arriving at the side room where Mo Guang had previously resided.

As soon as he entered, Han Li saw Yu Ziqi propped himself up, trying to struggle to get up, but his whole body seemed powerless, and he couldn't sit up.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, don't be anxious. Your sea of consciousness is severely damaged, and your soul is unstable. You must feel dizzy now, how can you possibly get up?" Han Li stepped forward, pressed on his shoulder, and made him lie down again.

"It was Fellow Daoist Li who saved me, right? Actually, my soul had stabilized a bit earlier, and I could faintly sense you, but I couldn't wake up, nor could I thank you." Yu Ziqi spoke quite smoothly, but his eyes lacked luster and seemed somewhat erratic, unable to focus accurately on Han Li's face.

"There's no need for thanks. Do you remember who attacked you?" Han Li waved his hand and asked with a solemn expression.

"I've been trying to recall this question since I regained consciousness, but I have no answer. I only vaguely remember that the person wanted to force me to reveal information about someone in the valley, but I can't remember who they were asking about..." Yu Ziqi's face showed no obvious changes, and he didn't even seem to remember the cruel treatment he had suffered. He simply shook his head slowly and said.

Hearing this, Han Li frowned slightly. He even had a speculation that the person about whom Yu Ziqi was being forced to reveal information might be himself.

After all, he was not only on the Heavenly Court's "Immortal Execution List," but was also a member of the Samsara Hall and cultivated the Lian Shen Technique. Any of these things would be enough for the Heavenly Court to want to eliminate him.

Previously, he had left the Northern Cold Immortal Domain incognito, and his relationship with the Samsara Hall was not too deep. He had also used various means to conceal his aura and baleful energy, and hid in this Idle Cloud Mountain to live in seclusion, and had been able to live in peace for several hundred years.

But given the current situation, who knows if he can continue to hide.

"I don't know how long it has been since I was attacked?" Yu Ziqi asked after regaining his composure.

"Not long, only a little over five years," Han Li replied, withdrawing his thoughts.

"So I was in a coma for five years... I'm really grateful to Fellow Daoist Li. I don't know how I can repay this kindness of saving my life and taking care of me..." Yu Ziqi said with some emotion after hearing this.

"I don't dare to take all the credit for this kindness. In fact, Mo Xianzi was the first person to discover and rescue you five years ago. Without her, you wouldn't have been able to hold on until I came to help. And she has often come here to see you in these five years," Han Li said with a smile.

"Wu Xue... really?" Yu Ziqi's face finally changed when he heard this, and he said somewhat失态.

"Can I lie to you?" Han Li asked rhetorically.

"Of course not, of course not... but..." Yu Ziqi murmured, but his voice trailed off.

"You can let go of the great path of cultivation, so why are you so hesitant about the minor path of love? What, you want Mo Xianzi to take the initiative to express her feelings and pursue you instead?" Seeing this, Han Li couldn't help but speak frankly.

"Of course not..." Yu Ziqi said quickly. How could he dare to think like that?

"Think about it, if we hadn't been able to save you this time, would you regret it for Mo Xianzi?" Han Li asked again.

Although he didn't have much experience in matters of love, he also knew that as a man, one should naturally be more brave and fearless. If one has a desire in one's heart, one should strive to pursue it.

Wasn't that how he was with Nangong Wan back then?

Yu Ziqi was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally uttered from the bottom of his heart: "Fellow Daoist Li's words are a wake-up call. I have been taught..."

Seeing that he had awakened, Han Li stopped there and said nothing more.

After giving him a pill that benefited his soul and telling him to recuperate well, he left.

Yu Ziqi's knot in his heart was untied, but he became even more worried.

A month later, Yu Ziqi decided to return to his cave dwelling to recuperate, and Han Li also began to prepare to leave Idle Cloud Mountain, and even the Black Soil Immortal Territory.

In the blink of an eye, several years passed.

The situation of cultivators being attacked or disappearing in Floating Cloud Mountain became increasingly serious, no longer as peaceful as before. One after another, reclusive cultivators began to move away.

Han Li had already put away everything in his cave dwelling, including all the formations and equipment he had set up in various places.

He had long wanted to leave this place, just to avoid attracting attention.

But now that many people have begun to move away from the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, his departure at this moment will probably not attract special attention from others.

Of course, if anyone is following him, he doesn't mind using the most primitive method in a secluded place to make the other party unable to speak again forever.

Han Li closed his eyes and rested for a moment in the secret room before leaving the cave dwelling and heading towards a stream-side pavilion where he often gathered with Immortal Reverence Refire and others.

To his surprise, Immortal Reverence Refire and Superior Man Jingyang were actually gathered in the pavilion, seemingly discussing something, with rather heavy expressions.

Yu Ziqi was also among them, his face still looked a little pale, and Mo Wuxue stood beside him, the two of them were talking softly.

Seeing Han Li approaching, the others stopped talking.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you've come just in time. We were just about to look for you," Superior Man Jingyang waved and said.

"Oh, I wonder what you fellow Daoists are discussing?" Han Li nodded slightly to the others as a greeting, and stepped into the pavilion.

"The situation in the valley is becoming increasingly unclear. In the past month alone, three fellow Daoists have been attacked, and one of them even died directly," Duan Yuzaib said with a solemn expression.

Hearing this, Han Li frowned slightly.

In order not to be noticed, he had been closed up in his cave dwelling for these years, and had not tried to investigate the cause of the turmoil in the Floating Cloud Mountain Range.

Now it seems that the situation in the Floating Cloud Mountain Range is more chaotic than he had heard.

"Yes, the Floating Cloud Mountain Range is no longer what it used to be. We are discussing how to avoid this storm," Immortal Reverence Refire sighed and interjected.

"What are Fellow Daoist Refire's plans?" Han Li glanced at Immortal Reverence Refire and asked.

"What plans can I have? Wanting to be idle brings even more trouble. I plan to return to my sect first, it should still be relatively safe there," Immortal Reverence Refire said with a wry smile.

"I also plan to leave for a while and go to Jiayun City. There are some acquaintances there who I can stay with for a while," Duan Yuzaib also sighed and said.

"What are Fellow Daoist Li's plans?" Superior Man Jingyang looked at Han Li.

"Although I'm a little reluctant to leave Wild Crane Valley, as the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Like everyone else, I also plan to leave," Han Li said with some reluctance.

"Does Fellow Daoist Li have a place to go? If not, why not come to Hundred Craft Mountain? I can absolutely guarantee safety there. If Fellow Daoist has any other requests, please feel free to mention them, and I will do my best to fulfill them," Superior Man Jingyang said, trying to win over Han Li again.

Superior Man Jingyang's identity has also been informed to Immortal Reverence Refire and others in recent years, and everyone is not worried about his safety.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jingyang, I already have a place to go and don't plan to go to your sect for the time being," Han Li understood Superior Man Jingyang's intentions and declined.

"Alright, if Fellow Daoist changes your mind in the future, you can come to Hundred Craft Mountain to find me at any time," Superior Man Jingyang said regretfully.

"Fellow Daoist Yu and Fellow Daoist Mo, what about you two?" Immortal Reverence Refire asked.

Mo Wuxue quietly looked at the surrounding Wild Crane Valley and did not answer.

Yu Ziqi looked at Mo Wuxue's elegant profile, hesitating to speak.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, and Fellow Daoist Mo, if you don't have a place to go for the time being, you can also come to Hundred Craft Mountain first. I can recommend a position in Hundred Craft Mountain for the two of you. There is no danger and it won't be very busy," Superior Man Jingyang said with a smile, looking at Mo Wuxue and then at Yu Ziqi.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jingyang, but I don't plan to leave this place for the time being," Mo Wuxue shook her head and said.

Hearing this, everyone showed surprised expressions, only Yu Ziqi's face remained unchanged, as if he had known it all along.
