The transmission array under the feet of Han Li and the other three continued to operate slowly, but it was getting slower and slower, and the white light it emitted was rapidly weakening.

During this period, the four of them didn't say a word, nor did they move at all. They just kept looking around from time to time, and of course, more of their gazes were focused on the silver-white, straight mountain peak in front of them.

The fiery color in the eyes of Lengyan Old Ancestor and Xiong Shan gradually intensified, Han Li's expression remained blank, and Lu Yuqing's beautiful eyes scanned around, occasionally secretly sizing up the two of them.

After a while, the operation of the transmission array finally came to a complete stop, and the white light it emitted also dissipated.

The bodies of the four relaxed, and they immediately walked out of the array.

"Let's go!"

As soon as Lengyan Old Ancestor and Xiong Shan walked out of the transmission array, they quickly walked down the stone platform and ran towards the long steps at the foot of the silver-white, straight mountain peak, without flying.

"Follow them, and don't fly." Seeing this situation, Han Li said to Lu Yuqing and quickly walked down the stone platform.

As a result, the four of them hadn't gone far, two in front and two behind, when the high platform behind them suddenly trembled. Then, the transmission array that had just stopped for a short time emitted a burst of white light again and began to buzz.

Han Li and the others were shocked and stopped in their tracks, turning around to look.

They saw a flash of light and shadow in the transmission array, and six or seven figures appeared.

All of these people were dressed in black robes with a skull pattern painted on them. They were the cultivators of the Ghost Cry Sect. The first one was the pockmarked old man.

"Xue Han!" Lengyan Old Ancestor's expression changed when he saw the person.

Hearing this, Han Li quickly glanced at the pockmarked old man, a look of surprise flashing across his face.

He remembered the pockmarked old man's name very clearly; it was Chen Pi.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, Xue Han was the name of a Golden Immortal elder in the Ten Directions Tower. He had seen this person from a distance during the Holy Puppet Sect battle back then.

Inside the transmission array, the pockmarked old man looked dazed because of the transmission, but he quickly recovered.

He raised his eyes and looked around, glanced at Han Li and Lu Yuqing, immediately moved away indifferently, and then looked at Xiong Shan and Lengyan Old Ancestor, who were further away.

Xiong Shan and Lengyan Old Ancestor's gazes met his, and their pupils shrank.

A smile flashed across the old man's lips, and his gaze quickly fell on the purple palace at the top of the mountain, and a look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face. He laughed loudly and said, "As expected!"

"Xue Han, why are you here?" A trace of fear flashed across Lengyan Old Ancestor's face, but he couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, Lengyan, you thought you got rid of us? This venerable one already knew that you had other plans for entering the Immortal Mansion and deliberately let you leave! We have been following behind all along. But what I didn't expect was that you actually knew the location of this Youhan Palace. Good, very good. Haha!" The pockmarked old man said, laughing again.

Hearing this, Han Li frowned.

These people had been following behind, but he hadn't noticed anything from beginning to end.

However, with the pockmarked old man's Golden Immortal realm cultivation and some special means of concealment, it was possible that he hadn't noticed. It seemed that he had underestimated the strength of these powerhouses who had already entered the Golden Immortal realm.

Lengyan Old Ancestor and Xiong Shan's expressions were extremely ugly.

They thought they had come here all the way without anyone knowing, but who would have thought that there were actually two groups of people following behind them, and they were completely unaware.

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously turned around and rushed towards the steps.

Han Li exchanged a look with Lu Yuqing, and the two immediately followed.

"Hehe, run? Where can you run!" Seeing this scene, the pockmarked old man sneered, not worried at all.

In front of him, a Golden Immortal, how much trouble could four True Immortal cultivators cause? Moreover, this place was clearly a closed secret realm space, so where could they escape to?

He moved his feet and was about to chase after them.

As a result, white light flashed around, and a powerful imprisoning force surged from all directions, tightening the surrounding void. Even with the pockmarked old man's Golden Immortal cultivation, he couldn't move at all.

He shouted in a low voice, and black light burst out from his body, struggling desperately.

But no matter how the pockmarked old man cast spells, he still couldn't move at all, and his expression couldn't help but change.

At this time, the Ghost Cry Sect cultivators who had come with him also woke up one after another, but then found that they couldn't move either.

Han Li and the other three took the opportunity to quickly cross to the silver steps at the foot of the silver-white mountain.

"Quick!"

Lengyan Old Ancestor shouted in a low voice and stepped onto the steps with Xiong Shan. Their figures swayed slightly, and then they immediately stabilized and quickly climbed upwards.

Seeing the situation of the two, Han Li narrowed his eyes and stepped onto the steps.

A layer of imperceptible yellow light appeared on the steps under his feet, and a powerful suction force enveloped his body. His shoulders suddenly sank, and his body became ten thousand times heavier.

"So that's how it is..." Han Li raised his eyebrows.

Lu Yuqing stepped onto the steps, her pretty face changed, and her delicate body shook violently.

She frowned slightly, and a layer of azure light appeared on her body, turning into a phantom of a flying crane, as if flapping its wings to fly.

But no matter how the azure crane flapped its wings, the powerful suction force under Lu Yuqing's feet did not weaken in the slightest.

"The gravity restriction on these steps cannot be resisted by Immortal Spiritual Power or any spiritual treasure. You can only climb with your physical strength. Now that the situation is pressing, the two of you should take care of yourselves." Lengyan Old Ancestor's voice sounded in Han Li and Lu Yuqing's ears.

Hearing this, Han Li's eyes flashed, but there was no change on his face.

Lu Yuqing's expression changed, and her pretty face turned a little pale.

While Lengyan Old Ancestor was transmitting his voice, he climbed quickly. He also cultivated the *Great Zhou Celestial Essence Art*, and his physical strength was strong. At this moment, he had already climbed thirty or forty steps.

Although Xiong Shan didn't have Lengyan Old Ancestor's powerful physical body, he was obviously prepared. Spiritual light flowed on a pair of boots, and his climbing speed was not much slower than Lengyan Old Ancestor.

Han Li turned his head and looked at the pockmarked old man and others who were still trapped by the restriction on the steps, and frowned slightly.

The white light emitted by the transmission array was rapidly dimming, and it seemed that it would disappear soon.

"Let's go!" He urged and quickly walked up.

Lu Yuqing waved her hand to disperse the azure light around her body, took a deep breath, and also stepped up the climb.

Although the gravity restriction on the steps was powerful, her cultivation had after all reached the early stage of the True Immortal realm. Although she was an Earth Immortal, her physical body had still been greatly improved, so her speed was not slow.

The pockmarked old man looked at the four of them quickly climbing up the steps, and a look of anxiety appeared on his face.

He had roughly guessed the situation of this transmission array at this moment, so he did not continue to struggle in vain.

As time passed, the white light emitted by the transmission array became dimmer and dimmer. After flashing twice, it finally disappeared completely.

"Hmph, chase me!"

The pockmarked old man's body relaxed, and he was immediately overjoyed. His figure shot out and flew towards the direction where Han Li and the other three were.

The other Ghost Cry Sect cultivators also followed closely behind.

As a result, as soon as the pockmarked old man and others flew out of the stone platform, their bodies suddenly shook and fell to the ground.

Boom boom boom!

The group of people seemed like several stones falling from the sky, smashing heavily on the ground, creating several large pits and making dull loud noises, causing the nearby ground to shake a few times.

The Ghost Cry Sect members hurriedly got up. Although they were not injured, they were covered in dirt. Several of them even fell on their butts and were thrown into a state of confusion, looking extremely embarrassed.

Although the pockmarked old man did not fall, his face was ashen.

Seeing the old man's expression, the other Ghost Cry Sect members were immediately silent, and no one dared to speak.

"It seems that there is a no-fly restriction here, so we can't fly off the ground. Hmph, let's see how far you can go. When the time comes, I will tear you to pieces!" The pockmarked old man's eyes rolled with baleful aura, and he said in a cold voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure swayed and he quickly strode towards the steps.

The others followed.

The group quickly arrived at the foot of the silver steps. Without stopping, they stepped up.

The pockmarked old man's body sank, and his eyebrows suddenly furrowed. The anger in his eyes was immediately reduced a lot.

"It seems that the restriction here is extraordinary. Be careful." He took a deep breath and said.

"Yes." The other Ghost Cry Sect members had also stepped onto the steps at this moment, and their expressions changed. They all agreed in unison when they heard this.

The pockmarked old man raised his eyes to look at Han Li and the others in front, sneered, and a layer of spiritual light appeared on his body. He climbed up in large strides.

His speed was extremely fast, and it seemed that the gravity restriction here did not have much of an impact on him. In the blink of an eye, he left the others far behind and chased after Han Li and the others.

Han Li and the others had already climbed four or five hundred steps. Among the four, Lengyan Old Ancestor and Xiong Shan were almost side by side, walking in the front.

Han Li did not catch up with the former, and walked almost side by side with Lu Yuqing, falling behind the former by a distance.

Noticing the situation below, Lengyan Old Ancestor's expression tightened, and a layer of faint starlight appeared on his body. His climbing speed immediately increased a bit.

Xiong Shan also frowned. Without him casting any spells, a layer of golden light appeared on his body, and his speed also increased.

At this moment, Lu Yuqing was sweating profusely, her chest constantly rising and falling. With each step she took, her delicate body trembled slightly.

The higher up the steps, the more the power of the gravity restriction increased with each additional level. At first, she didn't feel anything, but accumulated to this point, it was already three or four times stronger than at the beginning.

Lu Yuqing's face was pale, and she looked at Han Li not far ahead, stunned for a moment.

Han Li's expression was normal at the moment, and he did not show any signs of difficulty.

However, his expression was a bit strange, extremely calm, and his eyes were even a bit empty and absent-minded, as if he was traveling beyond the physical world.

"Liu...Brother Han." Lu Yuqing called out.

Han Li's expression moved and he regained consciousness, looking over.

"What's wrong, Miss Lu?"

"This gravity restriction is too powerful. I can't go on anymore. Brother Han, you don't have to accompany me anymore. Please go ahead." Lu Yuqing smiled reluctantly.

Han Li did not speak, but turned his head and looked behind.

The pockmarked old man was quickly climbing the steps, tapping his feet and jumping up a level, almost without touching the ground, quickly catching up.

The distance between the two was rapidly shortening. If this continued, they would be caught up soon.

And the two people in front, Lengyan Old Ancestor, were climbing faster and faster, and had left them far behind.
