Jin Yuan City covered a vast area, with countless people entering and exiting every day. In addition to the city gate entrances, numerous entrances were opened in the protective city restrictions mid-air to facilitate修士 (xiūshì) entry and exit.

Han Li and Lan Yan flew into the city through one of the aerial entrances. They saw dense crowds of pedestrians everywhere, and people flying to and fro in the air. Besides修士 (xiūshì), there were also many mortals.

The streets in the city were wide and clean, with countless thoroughfares. Tall and magnificent shops stood shoulder to shoulder. These shops were vastly different from those Han Li had seen before. Their architectural style shed the feeling of being market-driven and looked like beautiful palaces, with a touch of仙气 (xiān qì) etherealness.

Even more, some large shops were built directly in mid-air, like celestial palaces, one level higher than the shops on the ground.

These aerial shops all belonged to large商会 (shānghuì) merchant associations with reputations throughout the Immortal World. Han Li saw shops of Hundred Refinements Mountain and Ascending Dragon Hall, among others. He even saw the Wide Origin House of the Devil Domain here.

In the past, Han Li might have been in the mood to wander around and see if there were any treasures that caught his eye. But at this moment, his heart was filled with the matter of Jin Tong's capture. He ignored the shops and flew straight toward the central area of the city.

A few breaths later, a golden pagoda-like building suspended in mid-air appeared ahead.

The cross-domain teleportation array connecting to the Great Jin Yuan Immortal Territory was inside this golden pagoda.

The golden pagoda gate was tightly closed, and in front of the pagoda was a white jade plaza. There were few people on the plaza, making it seem desolate and deserted.

Golden and blue light flashed, and Han Li and Lan Yan landed on the plaza.

"Strange, when my Senior Brother and I went to the Small Jin Yuan Immortal Territory the other day, this place was quite lively. Why is it so deserted now?" Lan Yan said, looking around with a puzzled expression.

Han Li also frowned. Not only because of the situation in front of the golden pagoda, but also because, as soon as the two of them landed on the plaza, several divine senses spread over and swept over them.

These divine senses were unusually obscure, obviously using secret exploration techniques. If his divine sense had not been extremely powerful, he would never have been able to detect them.

Although Lan Yan also possessed the cultivation of the Tai Yi Realm peak, her divine sense was not very strong, so she naturally did not feel anything.

Just as Han Li was about to reverse probe to see who it was, his heart suddenly stirred. He stopped his actions and walked calmly to the front of the golden pagoda.

On either side of the closed gate stood a golden-armored soldier in Heavenly Court attire.

This cross-domain teleportation array was naturally also under the control of the Heavenly Court, and the two golden-armored soldiers were not low in cultivation, already having reached the Golden Immortal Realm, but were only used to guard the gate. Han Li could not help but sigh that this Central Domain, the Small Jin Yuan Immortal Territory, was far more prosperous than the small territories he had been to before.

"What brings you two Fellow Daoists here?" a golden-armored soldier asked expressionlessly as he saw Han Li and Lan Yan approaching.

Han Li and Lan Yan had suppressed their cultivation to the Golden Immortal level to avoid attracting attention.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoists. We want to take the cross-domain teleportation array to the Great Jin Yuan Immortal Territory," Han Li said with a smile and a cupped fist salute.

"You've come at a bad time. The cross-domain teleportation array had some problems a while ago and is temporarily closed. Please come back later," the golden-armored soldier said coldly.

"The cross-domain teleportation array has problems? I wonder when it will be repaired?" Han Li asked, stunned.

"We are not sure about this matter. When the teleportation array is repaired, it will naturally be announced. The two Fellow Daoists should pay attention to the news in the Immortal Inn," the golden-armored soldier said, pointing to a tall building suspended in mid-air not far from the golden pagoda, which was the Immortal Inn of this city.

"Thank you for your guidance." Han Li's mind raced. He nodded and thanked them, then flew toward the Immortal Inn, with Lan Yan silently following behind.

Inside a large hall at the top of the golden pagoda, four修士 (xiūshì) in golden robes sat cross-legged. Judging from their attire, they were also people of the Heavenly Court. Each person had a white sphere the size of a fist floating in front of them.

At this moment, the figures of Han Li and Lan Yan appeared in the white spheres of several people, gently rippling.

In the sphere, Han Li and Lan Yan quickly left the vicinity of the golden pagoda and landed in front of the Immortal Inn.

The Immortal Inn was crowded with people, and the figures of the two quickly disappeared into the crowd.

"According to the information, the target's divine sense is exceptionally powerful. This level of perception fluctuations cannot be concealed from him. These two did not sense our probing, so they are not the people we are looking for," said a leading man with an eagle nose.

The others also nodded, pinched their fingers in a gesture, and probed the other修士 (xiūshì) in front of the golden pagoda.

"It's been more than ten years, and we haven't found a trace of that Han Li. Could it be that he has already left the Small Jin Yuan Immortal Territory by other means?" another middle-aged man with a round face said, frowning slightly while manipulating the white orb in his hand.

"What, it's only been a dozen years, and Fellow Daoist Liang is already impatient?" An old man with gray hair glanced at the middle-aged man with a round face and said.

"Fellow Daoist Tian, you don't know, Fellow Daoist Liang's Dao partner recently gave birth to a son for him. Before he had time to enjoy the family happiness, he was sent to the Small Jin Yuan Immortal Territory. Naturally, he is anxious," a middle-aged beautiful woman said with a smile.

"Hehe, is that so? Then I really have to congratulate Fellow Daoist Liang," said the gray-haired old man with a fake smile.

Hearing the conversation between the two, a trace of unknown bitterness flashed in the depths of the eyes of the middle-aged man with a round face. He did not show the slightest bit of it on his face and thanked them repeatedly.

"Okay, Lord Chi sent us here to find that Han Li, not to let you chat. Now focus on exploring, and if you have anything to chat about, talk about it after the shift change," the eagle-nosed man looked over and said in a deep voice.

The other three agreed and concentrated on manipulating the white orbs in their hands.

At this moment, the middle-aged man with a round face suddenly frowned, hummed lowly, and the light of the white orb in front of him also became chaotic.

"Fellow Daoist Liang, what's wrong?" The eagle-nosed man looked over.

"It's nothing, it's just that manipulating the Rotating Wheel Pearl consumes a lot of divine sense. When I went out to perform a mission a few years ago, I encountered a strong enemy, which caused damage to my divine sense, and I can't hold on," the middle-aged man with a round face said with a look of shame.

The eagle-nosed man frowned slightly and sensed that the divine sense of the middle-aged man with a round face was indeed abnormal, fluctuating high and low, and gradually weakening.

"Since Fellow Daoist Liang is injured, go down and rest first. Anyway, it will be time for the shift change in half a day. Just leave the following exploration to the three of us," the gray-haired old man raised his eyelids and said.

"There is not much difference between four people exploring and three people exploring," the middle-aged beautiful woman also said.

The middle-aged man with a round face gave the two a grateful look, and then looked at the eagle-nosed man.

"Since Fellow Daoist Tian and Fellow Daoist Liu have said so, Fellow Daoist Liang should go down and rest first, and recuperate your body as soon as possible. I hope this kind of situation will not happen again in the future," the eagle-nosed man said in a deep voice after a little pondering.

"Yes." The middle-aged man with a round face agreed, turned his hand and put away the white orb, and walked out.

……

At this time, Han Li and Lan Yan, mixed in with the crowd, stepped into the Immortal Inn.

He did not know that because he was cautious and did not act rashly, he had avoided a danger for himself.

Although the area of this Immortal Inn was much larger than that of other Immortal Territory’s Immortal Inns, the layout was basically the same.

On both sides of the Immortal Inn were shops selling various elixirs, immortal artifacts, and spiritual materials, all of extremely high quality, attracting many修士 (xiūshì) to linger.

In the central area stood a huge cyan stone wall as high as a thousand zhang, which was covered with tasks. It was the task stone wall of the Immortal Inn.

Further inside the task stone wall, there was also a 法台 (fǎ tái) altar, also a thousand zhang high, hanging a thousand-zhang list, which was filled with various figures, which was actually the Immortal Extermination List.

The task stone wall and the Immortal Extermination List were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, with excited expressions on their faces, as if they had seen some exciting news.

Han Li's heart moved, and then he swept over the task stone wall and the Immortal Extermination List inside, and his face could not help but change.

He saw that his ranking on the Immortal Extermination List had been greatly improved, almost soaring to the top ten, and it had been changed to Han Li's real name.

The description of his crimes also added a lot of things: Han Li, a member of the Samsara Temple, practicing forbidden arts, participating in the murder of Xiao Jinhan, the Palace Master of the Northern Cold Immortal Palace, Dongfang Bai, the Palace Master of the Jin Yuan Immortal Palace, colluding with the Devil Domain, destroying the spiritual vein foundation of the Jin Yuan Mountains, causing the mountains to collapse and the creatures to be devastated. Whether alive or dead, a reward of 50 million Immortal Essence Stones!

On the task stone wall of the Immortal Inn, there was also a task issued by the Heavenly Court, which was also to capture him, and also detailed his various information, such as possessing the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords of Thunder attribute, possessing demonic energy, being able to use the Nine Nether Devil Eyes of the Devil Domain, the Heavenly Fiend Giant Devil Transformation, strong physical power, practicing the laws of time, and so on.

The task also revealed the news that Han Li was still in the Jin Yuan Immortal Territory, and it also stated that even if he could not be caught, those who provided clues could also receive exceptionally generous rewards.

Although Jiao San, Hu San and others also participated in the Grand Sui Immortal Mansion, their situation on the Immortal Extermination List has not changed. There are no tasks to capture them on the Immortal Inn. All the spearheads seem to be pointing at Han Li.

"Who is this Han Li? In order to capture him, the Heavenly Court has actually offered a reward of 50 million Immortal Essence Stones! Tsk tsk, there hasn't been such a heavy reward on the Immortal Extermination List for a long time!"

"50 million Immortal Essence Stones! With this reward, I will find a real blessed land and cultivate in seclusion for tens of millions of years, and I will not leave the mountain until I advance to the Tai Yi Realm!"

"Look at your little ambition. With so many Immortal Essence Stones, why bother cultivating so hard? Just find a spiritual vein and establish a sect, and also enjoy the addiction of being the founding master!"

"How can we, these Golden Immortals, get involved with those who are on the Immortal Extermination List? Don't get the reward, but lose your own life."

"Hey hey, Fellow Daoist Qin is right. Immortal Essence Stones are good, but you have to have the life to spend them."

"As the saying goes, wealth and honor are found in danger. With your little courage, I don't think you should come here. Go back to the cave and stay there."

"This Han Li is obviously a ruthless character who slaughters Immortals without blinking an eye. Let's just watch the fun."

"Didn't you see that this person is a member of the Samsara Temple? The collapse of the Jin Yuan Mountains was actually caused by this person colluding with the Devil Domain!"

"I know about the collapse of the Jin Yuan Mountains. I don't know how many mortals, as well as the sects and families in the Jin Yuan Mountains, were destroyed by this disaster. This person is really guilty of heinous crimes!"

The nearby crowd discussed in a hubbub. In addition to condemnation, many people took out communication devices to contact their sects and pay attention to the existence of Han Li.

Some people even secretly explored the people nearby, after all, the reward of 50 million Immortal Essence Stones was too tempting.
