Dongfang Bai frowned slightly when he heard the grey-haired old man's words. He bent his five fingers and a golden light flew out from his palm. The golden light wrapped around the jade slips and he placed them between his eyebrows to check them one by one.
The more he looked, the more his eyebrows furrowed. The surprise on his face became deeper and deeper.
"Are you sure?
Is it the same person? "After a while, Dongfang Bai took down the last jade slip and said with a solemn expression.
"Reporting to Palace Master, in the past hundred years, this subordinate has sent out all of my spies. Although their strength is not good, they are still quite capable when it comes to gathering information.
We first investigated from the Northern Frost Celestial Realm. We found out that when the Northern Frost Celestial Palace annihilated Bai Liyan of the Candle Dragon Sect, this Han Li had entered their sights, but at that time, he used the alias Li Feiyu. "Lu Yun said with a sharp voice.
"My son Tao Yu was killed by him during this period." Tao Ji said with a pained expression.
"The Candle Dragon Sect has the True Word Transformation Scripture, a time cultivation technique. I think his power of time law came from it." Dongfang Bai didn't pay attention to Tao Ji and said slowly.
"Yes, in some of the news after this, the name Li Feiyu also appeared a few times, but every time the news was vague. It can be seen that he deliberately concealed his tracks.
In addition, the name Li Han also appeared a few times. Some of its characteristics are also consistent with this Han Li. It is very likely that it is also his alias. "Lu Yun nodded and said.
"How is this possible?
According to what you've seen in these jade slips, this Han Li has only spent a few years, yet he's already spread across the Northern Glacial Region, the Black Mountain Region, the Black Earth Region, the Primordial World Region, and several other immortal realms.
And judging from the time, some of the major events in these areas seem to have a connection with him. "Dongfang Bai said doubtfully.
"According to my investigation, the destruction of the Candle Dragon Sect, the appearance of the Netherfrost Celestial Mansion, and the reopening of the Truth Word Sect all match up. There is also a small amount of evidence to prove that he has participated in them.
Moreover, the deaths of the Gongshu Clan's Gongshu Tian and Gongshu Jiu seem to be related to him, "Lu Yun said unhurriedly.
The more Dongfang Bai listened, the more solemn his expression became.
"After the incident at the Truth Sect, where did he go?
Why would he suddenly appear in our Golden Origin Immortal Realm? "
"Palace Master, please take a look at this first." Lu Yun took out another jade slip and handed it over.
"Isn't this the Imperial Bulletin of Dao Ancestor Feng Qingshui's trip to the Dust World?" Dongfang Bai took it and quickly checked it, his eyes full of doubt.
"During this trip to the Dust World, many people who had appeared in the Truth Sect's ruins had also appeared there.
As such, I believe that Han Li most likely went there as well. Afterwards, for some unknown reason, he arrived in the Devilish Realm and then returned to the Immortal Realm. "Lu Yun glanced at Tao Ji as he finished speaking.
As soon as his voice fell, the hall quieted down, and everyone fell into deep thought.
Tao Ji's face turned green and red, but then he seemed to think of something. Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his face was full of lingering fear.
"This person has a close relationship with the Samsara Temple, and he can wander between the major domains without getting hurt. His cultivation is rising steadily. What do you think?" Dongfang Bai leaned forward, glanced at the people present, and asked solemnly.
"Not to mention his current strength, just the speed of his cultivation shows that his identity is not simple. To be able to get in touch with the Samsara Temple and the Devil Race at the same time, I'm afraid that the background behind him … is not simple." Black Knife said after a long silence.
If Han Li were here, he wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could he have imagined that these people would actually come to such a conclusion after analyzing it?
"So, didn't I provoke an existence that I can't afford to provoke?" After thinking about it, Tao Ji's face suddenly showed a look of regret.
"Palace Master …" Lu Yun bowed and said slowly.
Although Black Knife did not speak again, it was obvious that he was also waiting for Dongfang Bai to make a decision.
Dongfang Bai stood up from the Golden Dragon Throne and slowly paced back and forth. His brows were tightly knitted, and his mind was spinning rapidly.
After thinking for a long time, he stopped, looked at the people, and said:
"No matter what his cultivation is, no matter what his background is, as long as it is related to that thing, I want you to track him down.
After you find his trace, remember not to act without authorization. You must report back and wait for my orders. "
"If there is a conflict, what should we do?" Lu Yun asked again.
"If there is a conflict, there is no need to retreat. You can not kill him first … Of course, try to capture him alive. When we find out the whereabouts of that thing, we will escort him back to the Nine Yuan Temple to decide what to do," Dongfang Bai said.
"Yes … sir." Lu Yun and the other two said hesitantly.
"Remember, this matter is only between you and the others. If anyone leaks the news to the supervisor of the Heavenly Court, don't blame my Golden Origin Immortal Palace for not having a place for you." Dongfang Bai's expression turned serious as he said sternly.
"Yes!" This time, the three of them answered quickly without any hesitation.
After the three of them left, Dongfang Bai paced back and forth in the hall, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
It was also the first time he had met someone as strange as Han Li. Whether it was his strength or background, it was very likely that he was very astonishing. Furthermore, he had participated in so many major events, yet he was still able to hide his whereabouts so well.
Moreover, the Grass Snake Gray Line stretched for thousands of miles. It was very likely that what was revealed in front of him was only a small part of Han Li.
Such a person had not been truly remembered by the Heavenly Court. This was what was truly terrifying.
… …
Central Earth Immortal Domain.
In an unknown space of nothingness, there were masses of blood-colored clouds floating in the void.
Amidst the dark clouds that covered the sky, there was a bloody smell everywhere. In the distance, one could see black buildings with curved eaves and sinister-looking eaves peeking out from the blood-colored clouds.
The blood-colored clouds were like the canopy of a mountain forest, and there were layers upon layers of them. The higher they went, the thicker they became.
At the bottom of the blood-colored clouds stood a white stone archway that was hundreds of feet tall. On it were two eye-catching blood-red words "Immortal Prison" engraved in ancient seal script.
"Ding dong …"
In the blood-colored clouds not far from the archway stood a black hall with flying eaves.
On the corners of the hall hung an octagonal bell the size of a cow's head. Although there was no wind blowing, it would shake from time to time, emitting a crisp sound of the bell.
Wherever the bell rang, a layer of faint golden halo rippled in the air. The runes within it flickered, dispersing the thick bloody smell that gathered around the hall.
At the entrance of the hall, there were two black-armored warriors that were more than ten feet tall. Both of them had green faces and fierce fangs, and they had the backs of a bear and waists of a bear. One of them held a giant axe, while the other held a halberd. Both of their eyes were bloodshot, and they seemed quite ferocious.
The door of the hall that the two of them were guarding was tightly locked. Above the door hung a huge horizontal board with three golden words "Hall of Judgement" written in red on a black background.
Inside the hall, two rows of vermilion pillars stood side by side. Above the pillars hung a number of iron plates with animal patterns. On the plates, there were fist-sized words engraved in seal script. Without exception, the contents of the plates all started with the two words "Xing Qi".
For example, Xing Qi decapitation, punishment for rebellion and evil, Xing Qi annihilation, punishment for indiscriminate killing of mortals, punishment for lighting the sky lantern, punishment for cultivating forbidden techniques …
The hall was dimly lit, and a brazier hung high above. Clusters of dark red flames swayed faintly inside.
In the depths of the hall, in front of a wide black iron table, stood a tall figure with his back facing the hall door. His appearance was strange. His hands and feet were much longer than ordinary people's, and his palms and soles of his feet were abnormally wide, like cattail leaf fans.
He held the table with one hand and a jade slip in the other. His upper body was bare, and his skin was fiery red. It looked as if it was cooked, and there were circles of strange patterns engraved on it.
On top of his head, there was a clump of flame-like red hair, and from time to time, there were balls of flames jumping out of it.
If Han Li was here, he would definitely recognize this person. He was one of the five disciples who served beside Old Ancestor Mi Luo when he saw him preach. He was also the traitorous disciple, Qi Mozi, who had betrayed the Old Ancestor.
"Hot fire, hot fire. Master's painstaking efforts in those years, do you understand?" Qi Mozi slowly put down the jade slip in his hand, sighed, and muttered to himself.
"It seems that the disciple you care about the most is still him …" At this time, in a brazier not far away from him, a flaming human face suddenly rose and praised.
"Originally, I only hoped that he could stay away from this whirlpool, but I never thought that he would still be involved in the end.
Although Chi Rong has always been unable to win my heart, this time he went to the Truth Sect for me, his master.
I never thought that the two of them would accidentally enter the Dust World, and in the end, both of them died. "Qi Mozi sighed and said.
"So what if they died? Didn't they still not find the [Five Elements Fantasy World Art]?
Dying without meaning is stupid … "The human face in the brazier didn't care about his feelings and sneered.
"No!
After my investigation, they didn't leave empty-handed.
Before Chi Rong entered the Dust World, he had sent back a message that mentioned a person … a very strange person.
It is very likely that he was the one who benefited the most from the exploration of the Truth Sect's ruins, and the complete [Five Elements Fantasy World Art] is most likely in his hands. "Qi Mozi didn't care and said slowly.
"Who is that person?
Where is he now? "The flaming human face hurriedly asked.
"That person's name is Han Li. In the past hundred years, he has appeared in the Golden Origin Immortal Realm." Qi Mozi's eyes slightly flashed as he said.
"Hehe … Looks like it's time for me to take action. After staying in this Immortal Prison for so long, I really miss the air outside.
Let's agree that as long as I help you catch this person, you will let me burn the rivers and boil the seas to my heart's content.
Don't worry, I have already picked a place. It's just an inconspicuous place in the lower realm, and it won't cause any trouble for you. "The flaming human face rushed up high and hung on the roof, letting out a strange laugh.
