Right after he spoke, Han Li's figure blurred, and he disappeared from where he stood.

"Careful..."

The old man with the crow face was shocked and shouted.

Before he could finish, he only felt a blurry figure flash before his eyes. He was struck as if by a giant mountain, flying out like a broken sack. He crashed heavily into a mountain outside the plaza, embedding himself in the cliff face, his life unknown.

"Bang, bang!" Two muffled sounds rang out.

The white-haired old man and the dark-skinned giant had just watched the crow-faced old man fly out. Before they could understand what was happening, their vision darkened, and their bodies soared through the air, slamming heavily into the mountain wall.

The entire plaza fell silent.

Liu Le'er stared at the dark mass of bodies scattered around the plaza, along with various magical artifacts and treasures. Her mouth hung open, unable to close it for a long time.

Although she knew her Stone Brother was powerful, this scene was far beyond her imagination, as if she were dreaming.

While she was still dazed, Han Li appeared beside her, asking with concern,

"Le'er, how are your injuries?"

"Fortunately, I had the treasures Brother gave me, so I'm not seriously hurt. Qi Xuan had malicious intentions. He not only coveted Brother's spirit flames but also wanted to lure Brother here using me. But aside from imprisoning me, he didn't do anything else to me." Liu Le'er shook her head, still somewhat frightened.

Han Li nodded, then sat down cross-legged on his own, taking out a white pill and putting it in his mouth.

The divine sense attack earlier, even with its power deliberately reduced, had almost depleted his current magical power.

"Brother, shouldn't we leave now?" Liu Le'er paused slightly, glanced around, and said with some worry.

Han Li's commotion in the plaza had naturally alarmed the entire Tian Gui Sect. Streams of light flew out from all directions, heading towards the plaza.

"Now that we're here, why rush to leave?" Han Li smiled slightly, unconcerned.

In just a moment, the sound of rushing wind intensified. Several grand streams of light arrived first, revealing six figures with auras no less powerful than those of the crow-faced old man and the others.

Seeing the scene before them, their faces changed with surprise, and their gazes fell on Han Li below.

Although they were all somewhat suspicious, after scanning with their divine sense and exchanging glances, they all retreated slightly before summoning their magical treasures.

Sharp whistling sounds ripped through the air. Six beams of light in different colors descended from the sky, attacking Han Li simultaneously with alarming force.

Han Li didn't stand up, remaining in a cross-legged position. His figure spun on the spot, and his arms blurred slightly as he threw a punch in each of the six directions.

"Boom, boom!"

The surrounding area fluctuated, with ripples spreading out in all directions.

Earth-shattering roars erupted, as if all the magical treasure attacks had struck an invisible wall, exploding into six huge masses of spiritual energy. The force was so great that the entire space seemed to rumble.

When the light faded, Han Li, who had been sitting cross-legged, had vanished.

The six in the air were stunned. Then, the figure of Han Li appeared in front of one of them, a middle-aged man with narrow eyes. Without a word, Han Li raised his hand and threw a punch.

"Bang!"

He didn't even have time to react. The force sent him flying backward.

While he was in mid-air, he heard five consecutive loud bangs behind him. Then, he crashed heavily into something, and his vision went black, completely losing consciousness.

After Han Li punched the remaining five Refinement Realm cultivators away, he returned to Liu Le'er's side, standing with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, the other Tian Gui Sect disciples who were rushing in from all directions witnessed this scene. They stopped in astonishment, looking at each other, unsure of what to do.

These usually high and mighty Refinement Realm elders were now like flies, casually swatted away by an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator. Some fell into the plaza, creating deep pits with flying rocks, while others directly smashed into the nearby great halls, causing them to collapse with a thunderous roar.

Especially the hundreds of semi-conscious disciples and the magical treasures scattered all over the plaza were a shocking sight.

Just then, a white streak shot from afar, hovering above the mostly collapsed Tian Gui Hall, revealing a burly man dressed in brocade.

This man looked to be in his thirties or forties, with a square face and a circle of short purple whiskers under his jaw. His aura was quite majestic.

"Supreme Elder..."

"Elder Lu is here, that's great..."

The plaza was filled with mournful cries, a scene of utter chaos. Everyone's faces lit up with joy at the sight of this man, and they called out as if they had found their backbone.

The man's gaze fell directly on Han Li, his expression extremely grave. He immediately began to rapidly form hand seals in front of him.

"A Body Integration cultivator..."

Han Li glanced at the man, curled his lip, and with a flip of his wrist, a miniature mountain peak appeared in the black light of his palm.

He stretched out his long arm and waved it abruptly.

The black mountain flew out with a "whoosh."

During the flight, the black mountain flickered with black light, growing to dozens of feet in size as it headed straight for the purple-bearded man.

Before the mountain even arrived, an astonishing aura surged forth.

The man remained calm, and the speed of his hand seals became unbelievably fast.

Just as the black mountain, now hundreds of feet tall, was about to hit him, the man's hand movements suddenly stopped.

A dark purple light suddenly lit up beneath his feet. A secret formation covered in runes suddenly appeared, instantly engulfing him.

The mountain peak missed, crashing towards the ruined walls below.

At the same time, identical formations appeared beneath Han Li and Liu Le'er's feet. A purple light rolled down, engulfing them in an instant.

...

Fengyin Mountain Range, in a hidden valley.

The space here was narrow and the light dim. The valley was filled with rolling black mist, with rocky cliffs over a hundred feet high on both sides, engraved with strange patterns and obscure ghost Dao runes.

At each of the four corners of the valley stood a tall blue stone pillar, each covered with dense runes, looking ancient and extraordinary.

Just then, purple light flashed on the deep black ground. Han Li and Liu Le'er appeared out of nowhere on the open ground in the valley.

Liu Le'er was still covered by the fire net formed by the silver firebird. Suddenly being teleported here made her feel dizzy, and her body swayed slightly, but she was not seriously injured.

As soon as Han Li stood firm, he looked around.

The purple-bearded man from before had appeared on one of the blue stone pillars at some point. On the other three stone pillars sat three other cultivators, two men and one woman, seemingly in meditation.

The woman wore a red gauze dress, with a full figure and a beautiful face. She didn't look very old, but she had a mature charm.

The other two were a one-eyed giant and a hunchbacked old man.

All three had powerful auras and were Body Integration cultivators.

Sensing the disturbance in the valley, the three opened their eyes at the same time, looking at Han Li and Liu Le'er below with surprise, then turned their gaze to the purple-bearded man.

"Elder Lu, weren't you going to deal with the trouble at Tian Gui Plaza? How did you come back so quickly, and even bring two outsiders into the forbidden area?" The beautiful woman frowned and asked.

"There's no time to explain in detail. This man is a top-tier Body Integration strength cultivator. Quickly activate the Earth Ghost Soul Suppression Formation!" The purple-bearded man said with a grave expression and urgent tone.

The three were shocked. Although their faces changed, they didn't hesitate, and they all flipped their hands to take out a black token.

Together with the purple-bearded man, the four shouted in unison, waving their wrists and throwing the tokens out.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang"

Four sounds of metal clashing rang out. The tokens shot straight down, landing around Han Li and instantly burrowing into the ground.

"Hasten!"

A loud shout echoed in the valley.

Han Li felt the ground beneath him tremble violently, and muffled sounds like rolling thunder came from the ground.

Within a hundred feet around him, the soil churned, rocks cracked, and four bizarre memorial archways burst out of the ground simultaneously, surrounding him and Liu Le'er in the center.

These archways were all three-bay, four-pillar structures, about fifty or sixty feet high. The pillars were covered with human and animal bones, and a blood-red skull hung from each corner of the eaves, swinging like a red wind chime.

In the center of the archways, a huge ogre head was engraved, some with a single horn and eyes like copper bells, others with human corpses in their mouths and blood dripping from their lips, each different.

Seeing this, Han Li was about to act when the giant ghosts on the four archways seemed to come alive. Their eight huge eyeballs rolled around, staring at him in unison.

"Chichi" sounds were loud!

All the eyeballs shot out large swaths of blood-colored light, intertwining and flashing in mid-air, turning into a rolling blood sea phantom that pressed down, enveloping the entire space of several hundred feet around Han Li and Liu Le'er.

Surrounded by the sea of blood, Han Li felt a tremendous weight suddenly press down on his shoulders. His clothes clung tightly to his body, and his movements became sluggish.

His eyes flickered with blue light, and a series of crackling sounds like firecrackers echoed within his body. His figure only swayed slightly before he steadied himself again, with no unusual expression on his face.

The silver net covering Liu Le'er was somewhat distorted and deformed under the pressure, with a large dent in the top. However, after several of Han Li's magic seals entered it, it finally held up, startling the girl inside before her face relaxed slightly.

The beautiful woman looked at Han Li and Liu Le'er below, completely unharmed, and said with disbelief,

"How could this be?"

"It seems we underestimated this man. This formation can only trap him temporarily. But since he's now in Devil Flame Valley, we can use the Nine Heavens Devil Flame power that Old Ancestor Bone Flame left in the valley to refine him directly." A fierce glint flashed in the purple-bearded man's eyes as he pondered.

"Let's do it!"

The one-eyed giant and the hunchbacked old man exchanged glances and said in unison.

The four immediately began to rapidly form hand seals, and obscure chanting sounds echoed from their mouths.

The sounds hummed and reverberated in the valley, amplifying and echoing continuously, causing the entire valley to tremble.

Loose stones on the cliffs on both sides rolled down with a "rustling" sound, and the ghost Dao runes engraved on them shone brightly.

The patterns that were originally unclear suddenly became vivid, writhing and twisting, turning into black fire lotuses.

The fire lotus flowers swayed, the lotus leaves spun, and streams of black flames shot out from the cliffs, continuously falling into the valley, soon forming a sea of black fire that engulfed Han Li and Liu Le'er.
