"What are you? How dare you block my way! Get out of here!"

A fierce look appeared on Han Li's face. A golden light flashed on his body, and one of his arms suddenly emitted a cracking sound, becoming a circle thicker. He clenched his fist and punched towards the one-horned man.

Boom!

His arm instantly turned golden, as if cast from gold, and golden needle-like hairs grew on it.

Wherever the golden fist passed, the void emitted a piercing scream, and a striking white mark was cut out, as if it was about to be torn apart.

Before the fist shadow arrived, a terrifying force that made people feel suffocated suddenly enveloped them.

The one-horned man's expression changed, and he took a step back. A rich blue light emerged on his body, and both arms shone brightly, instantly turning into two hideous dragon claws.

The man roared loudly, his hands erupting with dazzling blue light, and he pushed forward into the void.

A flash of blue light appeared in front of him, and two blue dragon claw phantoms the size of millstones emerged out of thin air.

Countless blue runes danced on the two blue dragon claws, and illusory blue waves appeared on the palms, looking extremely mysterious.

The two blue dragon claws overlapped and greeted Han Li's fist.

There was only a loud bang!

The golden fist smashed onto the two blue dragon claw phantoms, and the dragon claw phantoms shattered in response, turning into countless blue lights that dissipated.

Not only that, a dazzling golden light shot out from Han Li's hand and, with a flash, turned into a huge golden fist shadow that slammed down fiercely.

The one-horned man was shocked, and he waved his hands hurriedly.

Two small blue triangular shields shot out from his body, turning into two crystal-clear blue light walls, blocking in front of him.

As soon as the light walls formed, the golden fist shadow slammed into them.

"Boom, boom, boom!" There was a loud noise!

The golden fist shadow exploded and turned into rolling golden waves, emitting a terrifying power that submerged the two blue light walls within it.

The two blue light walls had no resistance in the terrifying power of the golden ripples and shattered inch by inch.

A majestic force exploded and spread around, causing the entire hall to tremble violently.

The one-horned man's body shook violently, and he staggered back more than ten steps before steadying himself.

This scene seemed long, but it actually happened in a flash.

The shattered blue light dissipated, and Han Li had already arrived at the man's original position at some point. The two triangular shield magic treasures were held in both hands and had been broken into several pieces.

Han Li rubbed his hands together violently, then opened them, and the magic treasure fragments directly turned into powder. Then, after gently blowing on it, the powder flew away, and an extremely rich aura overflowed from it.

The one-horned man's eyes twitched when he saw this scene.

The other Golden Immortals of Cangliu Palace stood up one after another when they saw this scene, their eyes filled with shock.

Although this one-horned man was only at the peak of the Golden Immortal mid-stage, he was not an ordinary human cultivator. He possessed the bloodline of a Horned Dragon, and his physical strength was naturally extremely powerful, comparable to the True Extremity Body of a Mystic Immortal. He was defeated in one move, and it seemed that the other party had not used his full strength.

Han Li slowly retracted his arm, glanced at the one-horned man, and continued to walk forward.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A group of Golden Immortals from Cangliu Palace flew in front of Han Li, blocking his way, their faces showing hostility, and various colors of light radiating from their bodies.

"Good! Today, I have finally seen the hospitality of Cangliu Palace." Han Li laughed loudly, and a golden light shone brightly on his body.

A layer of golden hair grew all over his body, and his figure suddenly grew larger. His hands and feet became longer, and his whole person suddenly transformed into a golden giant ape more than ten feet tall. At the same time, the aura emanating from his body suddenly increased greatly, reaching the level of a Golden Immortal late-stage. Moreover, this aura was full of tyranny, as well as a terrifyingly strong baleful aura, which spread out around him like a landslide.

The group of Golden Immortals from Cangliu Palace were shocked by the sudden increase in Han Li's aura.

"Stop!" At this moment, a figure appeared between Han Li and the group of Golden Immortals, it was Luo Qinghai.

"Haha, does Palace Master Luo also want to join in?" The golden giant ape's eyes flashed with golden light, and he said with a sneer, without the slightest fear.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Liu, please don't misunderstand. Luo has no such intention. All of you, step back. Each of you go back and reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors, and you are not allowed to leave without my permission. Fellow Daoist Liu is a distinguished guest of Cangliu Palace, how can you be so reckless!" Luo Qinghai smiled kindly at Han Li, then scolded the group of Golden Immortals from Cangliu Palace.

"Yes!"

The group of Golden Immortals heard this and did not dare to say anything more. The light on their bodies was withdrawn one after another, and they all retreated from the hall.

The one-horned man glared at Han Li fiercely, then turned and walked out.

The golden light in Han Li's golden pupils flickered a few times, and a golden light flashed on his body, and he returned to his human form.

Soon, only Han Li and Luo Qinghai were left in the hall.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, to tell you the truth, our Cangliu Palace suffered heavy losses in the Underworld-Frost Immortal Mansion this time. Palace Master Tie and Palace Master Qiu have also disappeared for no reason, so the people in the sect are restless, and their actions are inevitably impulsive. Please don't take offense." Luo Qinghai said to Han Li with a smile.

"Disappeared for no reason? It seems that Palace Master Luo also thinks that Liu is deliberately framing those two people. Since that's the case, then there's nothing to talk about." Han Li sneered and said.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, please calm down and allow Luo to explain. In fact, when the cultivation level reaches our level, it is rarely controlled by emotions. Everything is done for the sake of interests. Fellow Daoist came to our Cangliu Palace this time, and it shouldn't be just to get an explanation, right?" Luo Qinghai looked at Han Li and said with a faint smile.

Han Li's eyebrows moved, but he didn't speak.

"The soul lamps of Palace Master Tie and Palace Master Qiu have not been extinguished. It seems that Fellow Daoist Liu is kind-hearted and showed mercy. Luo is here to apologize to Fellow Daoist on behalf of the two of them. I hope Fellow Daoist will not hold grudges against them." Luo Qinghai cupped his hands to Han Li with a solemn expression.

"Palace Master Luo, don't misunderstand. These two people have wolfish ambitions. I didn't kill them just because I didn't want to give them too much of an advantage." Han Li was unmoved and said in an icy tone.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Liu, calm down first. No matter what reason Palace Master Tie and Palace Master Qiu had conflicts with you, as long as Fellow Daoist is willing to return their Nascent Souls intact, our Cangliu Palace is willing to give you compensation that will satisfy you." Luo Qinghai said with a chuckle.

"Oh, are you so sure that I will agree?" Han Li was silent for a while and said.

"I believe that everything in the world has a price. As long as the conditions are sufficient, enemies can become friends." Luo Qinghai smiled even more brightly.

"Since Palace Master Luo is so sincere, then okay, I have no use for the Nascent Souls of these two people, so I can return them to you." Han Li was silent for a while and said.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Liu. I wonder what you want? Our sect has always been poor and barren, not as good as the Fuling Sect and the Zhulong Dao, but we will try our best to meet your needs." Luo Qinghai was overjoyed when he heard this, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly cupped his hands and thanked him.

"The Northern Cold Immortal Territory is remote and barren. Originally, there was nothing that could move me. However, I heard from Fellow Daoist Gongshu in the Underworld-Frost Immortal Mansion that you have a cultivation method called *Water Derivation Four Seasons Art* in Cangliu Palace, which is related to the law of time. I wonder if this is true?" Han Li walked to a seat on the side and sat down, asking.

"This... our Cangliu Palace does have this cultivation method. However, Fellow Daoist Liu, are you referring to the Supervising Immortal Envoy Gongshu Jiu who appeared in the Underworld-Frost Immortal Mansion?" Luo Qinghai's eyes flashed with strange light when he heard this, and he asked.

"That's right, it's him." Han Li nodded.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Liu also entered the Underworld-Frost Immortal Mansion this time. However, we didn't encounter you in the Underworld-Frost Immortal Mansion before. Could it be that Fellow Daoist entered with Immortal Envoy Gongshu?" Luo Qinghai's eyes flickered and he asked.

"We are currently discussing conditions. Palace Master Luo seems to be changing the subject, right?" Han Li frowned and said.

"Luo misspoke, Fellow Daoist Liu, please continue." Luo Qinghai smiled and said.

"I won't say anything else. If you take out the *Water Derivation Four Seasons Art*, I will return the Nascent Souls of those two people to you." Han Li seemed to have lost interest in talking because of Luo Qinghai's words, and he said directly.

"*Water Derivation Four Seasons Art* is our Cangliu Palace's treasure, and even within Cangliu Palace, only those who have been decided by the Elder Council and obtained permission can read it. Fellow Daoist Liu's request is a bit difficult, can you change the condition?" Luo Qinghai said with a look of embarrassment.

"I have already stated the conditions. As for whether to agree or not, it is your business. I will only wait here for an hour. If I don't see the *Water Derivation Four Seasons Art* after an hour, then the Nascent Souls of these two people will have to be used to refine Golden Soul Pills." Han Li took out an item with a flip of his hand, played with it in his hand, and said leisurely.

Luo Qinghai's pupils shrank when he saw this.

What Han Li took out was a white crystal ball, inside which was sealed a blue Nascent Soul, and its appearance was exactly that of the white-faced scholar.

When the blue Nascent Soul saw Luo Qinghai, a look of joy appeared in its eyes, but it could not move at all, nor could it use magic to transmit sound.

"In that case, Fellow Daoist Liu, please wait here for a moment. Luo will go and discuss it with the others first." Luo Qinghai looked away from the white crystal ball, took a deep look at Han Li, and walked out.

Han Li ignored Luo Qinghai's departure and continued to play with the white crystal ball in his hand.

……

Luo Qinghai walked out of the hall, his brows furrowed, looking a little hesitant.

But soon, he stepped towards the left and soon came to a side hall.

The people who had just left were all here at the moment. When they saw Luo Qinghai coming in, they all stood up.

"Palace Master, how is the situation?" The green-faced old man asked.

Luo Qinghai did not hide anything and repeated the conversation he had with Han Li in the hall in its entirety.

"What! He wants the *Water Derivation Four Seasons Art*, it's simply wishful thinking!" The one-horned man snorted coldly and spoke first.

"That's right, the *Water Derivation Four Seasons Art* is our Cangliu Palace's treasure, how can it be passed on to outsiders." The masked young woman also said.

"According to what Palace Master said, that person probably won't change the conditions. If we refuse, what will happen to Palace Master Tie and Palace Master Qiu?" The green-faced old man thought of something and said with a frown.

The masked young woman frowned when she heard this and fell silent.

"Although that person is powerful, if all of us attack together, plus the restrictions in the Cangliu Hall, can't we still restrain him? As long as we imprison this person, we will naturally be able to rescue Palace Master Tie and Palace Master Qiu." A murderous intent flashed in the one-horned man's eyes, and he said in a cold voice.

When the others heard this, their eyes flashed with ferocity, and they looked somewhat tempted.
