"You and I belong to the Samsara Hall, and I was the one who brought Friend Han here. This is what I should do.

By the way, Friend Han, when you arrive at Jiuyuan City, go to the Peak Cloud Inn in the outskirts of the city. That is a secret place of the Samsara Hall. You can rest assured there, "Jiao San said with a smile.

However, when Han Li heard this, he merely turned the mask over in his hand and didn't say anything.

"Friend Han, is there anything you don't understand?" Jiao San asked.

Han Li took a deep look at Jiao San and asked, "I understand what Fellow Daoist Jiao San just said. Now that things have come to this, shouldn't Fellow Daoist Jiao San tell me more about the mission?"

Previously, his cultivation was still in the Taiyi State. His cultivation was low and he lacked confidence. Therefore, he did not ask much about the mission given by the Samsara Hall. He was afraid that he would be involved in the battle between the Samsara Hall and the Celestial Court, and it would be difficult for him to escape.

Now that his cultivation had improved greatly, his attitude towards things was very different from before. He was no longer as timid as before.

"Fellow Han, it's not that I don't trust you. It's just that I don't know much about this mission. Even if I wanted to tell you, I wouldn't know where to start." Jiao San sighed and explained apologetically.

"Friend Jiao San, we have known each other for a long time. Don't try to evade me.

Even though I do not know your identity in the Samsara Hall, I am sure that you are not an ordinary person. You must know something about the mission in the Jiuyuan Temple.

Since we're going to be working together, it's best to be honest. "Han Li twirled the black mask in his hand with a smile.

"I am not trying to evade you. I really do not know. The mission in the Jiuyuan Temple is very important and will be led by an expert from the Samsara Hall. I am only a liaison. How would I know the details?" Jiao San said with a bitter smile.

Han Li saw that Jiao San was not pretending. He contacted the Weeping Soul Beast and asked, "Weeping Soul Beast, is this person telling the truth?"

"Master, this person is just a shadow. I can't sense his soul. I can't see clearly either. However, judging from Jiao San's expression, he doesn't seem to be lying." The Weeping Soul's voice sounded in Han Li's mind.

Han Li could not help but frown when he heard this.

"Even though I am only a liaison and have no right to know the details of this mission, Friend Han Li, I have invited you to help me. Therefore, I have asked you about the things you are concerned about," said Jiao San when she saw that Han Li was unhappy.

"Oh, tell me about it." Han Li asked without batting an eyelid.

"Jintong is still in the Jiuyuan Temple. She is not in danger. The people of the Jiuyuan Temple want to capture her and present her to the Time Great Elder, Gu Jintong, during the Bodhi Banquet. There is still some time before the Bodhi Banquet, so Jintong is safe for now. The Jiuyuan Temple will even try to raise her cultivation level so that the 'gift' will be even more outstanding," said Jiao San.

Han Li's eyes flashed when he heard this.

He already knew why the Jiuyuan Temple wanted to capture Jintong. However, he was relieved to hear this from Jiao San.

"As for you, Friend Han, it seems that the higher-ups want you to complete a task. They will tell you where Jintong is and how to rescue her.

However, I am not able to find out what the task is, "continued Jiao San.

"I am sorry to trouble you for Han Friend Han's matter," said Han Li as he cupped his hands in front of his chest.

He was thinking about what the Samsara Temple wanted him to do, but he could not figure it out in such a short time. Hence, the thought only flashed through his mind for a moment.

"Friend Han, you are now a core member of the Samsara Temple. Even though the Samsara Temple is secretive, we will not plot against our own people. Friend Han, do not worry about this," said Jiao San. "Of course.

Otherwise, Han Friend Han would not have joined the Samsara Temple, "said Han Li as he nodded his head.

"As long as Friend Han understands." Jiao San nodded his head.

The two of them chatted for a while more before ending their conversation.

Han Li thought for a moment and summoned Little White and the Weeping Soul Beast from the branch space. He took off the red mask and put on the black mask. Then, he made a hand seal.

A dark light spread out from the mask and enveloped his body. Han Li's entire body became faintly discernible.

The Weeping Soul Beast and Little White were shocked. They could no longer sense Han Li's aura with their divine senses. It was as if there was nothing there.

"The Samsara Temple is indeed terrifying. The black mask's concealment effect is even better than my Sky Escape Talisman," Little White praised.

Han Li assessed his own situation and was quite pleased with himself as he began to make another hand seal.

His body's appearance changed rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he had turned into a black-faced, bearded man.

"Weeping Soul, lend me some of your pneuma."

At the same time, Han Li raised his hand and patted the Weeping Soul Beast's shoulder. A devouring force emerged from his palm and quickly absorbed the Weeping Soul Beast's pneuma.

The Weeping Soul Beast's expression changed, but it did not move. It allowed Han Li to absorb the pneuma in its body.

Han Li did not absorb too much either. He quickly stopped and closed his eyes.

After a while, a layer of black light appeared on his body. It exuded a gloomy and ghostly aura. The aura was exactly the same as the Weeping Soul Beast's, and it was flawless. Anyone who saw Han Li would think that he was a cultivator who cultivated in the Ghost Dao.

"This …" Little White's eyes widened in disbelief.

The Weeping Soul Beast was also shocked when it saw this.

At this moment, not only did Han Li's body change, but even the aura of his spirit was different from before. The black mask could even change the aura of his spirit.

"The Samsara Temple's black mask can absorb the pneuma of others and fuse it with the user to disguise as someone else. This method is much more advanced than the simple illusion technique." Han Li nodded with a happy expression.

"Master, with this mask, you'll be much safer.

Master, you're going to Jiuyuan City next, right? Little White and I don't have this kind of concealment technique, so we'll hide in the branch space so that we don't cause trouble for you, "said the Weeping Soul Beast.

"Help me keep an eye on Qu Lin and Lan Yan. Although Qu Lin's body is strong, his spirit is relatively weak. Weeping Soul Beast, your supernatural power can restrain him," said Han Li through voice transmission.

"Don't worry, Master. I'll keep a close eye on Qu Lin," replied the Weeping Soul Beast.

Little White also patted its chest as a guarantee.

Han Li smiled when he saw this. He waved his hand and put Little White and the Weeping Soul Beast into the branch space. Then, he left the underground and went outside.

He pondered for a while, then quickly turned into a beam of black light and flew toward Gold City. He quickly entered the city through an entrance on the west side.

It was quiet everywhere in the city. The cultivators in the city were talking about the auction held by the Sun Moon Pavilion. Even the patrollers who occasionally passed by didn't notice anything unusual.

When Han Li saw this, he knew that the commotion caused by his battle with Chi Meng and the others had not spread and was suppressed by the Life League. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, he flew toward the depths of the east side of the city.

There were shops everywhere in the prosperous area of Gold City, and most of them were golden in color. It gave people a sense of ostentatiousness and did not have the majesty and grandeur of a big city.

Han Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Life League didn't have a prominent background, but it could survive in the midst of the Jiuyuan Temple, Baizao Mountain, Great Gold Origin Immortal Palace, and other huge forces. It was probably because of this ostentatiousness and harmlessness.

The Gold City occupied a large area. Han Li flew for half a day and stopped in a golden hall in the east side of the city.

There was a board hanging at the entrance of the hall, and the words "Sun Moon Boat" were written on it.

People came and went at the entrance, and it was very lively.

Han Li walked in, and there was a space that was hundreds of feet in size inside. People were surging and bustling toward the depths of the hall.

There were dozens of entrances in the depths of the hall, and there was a name written on top of each entrance. They were the names of places in the Great Gold Origin Celestial Realm.

Jiuyuan City, Golden Origin City, and Baizao City were among them, and the people who walked through these three entrances were the most.

Han Li glanced around and walked toward the passage with the words "Jiuyuan City" written on it.

The Sun Moon Boat was a transportation business under the Life League. The Life League had developed a special flying boat called the Sun Moon Flying Boat.

This boat could receive the power of the sun, moon, and stars, and fly extremely fast. It could transport goods and passengers to important cities in the Great Gold Origin Celestial Realm.

The Sun Moon Divine Boat was not only fast, but it was also much cheaper than the Teleportation Array. Many small and medium-sized forces and itinerant cultivators liked it.

Although there was a Teleportation Array in the Gold City that connected to Jiuyuan City, the Teleportation Arrays in the Immortal Realm were under the control of the Heavenly Court, and there was the strictest Monitoring Array there. Especially with the recent turmoil in the Immortal Realms, the Heavenly Court's monitoring of the Teleportation Array became stricter. Even though Han Li had the black mask, he didn't want to take the risk.

Moreover, the Sun Moon Flying Boat was fast enough to reach Jiuyuan City in 30 years.

Han Li walked into the passage of Jiuyuan City, and after passing through a long corridor, he saw a hall that was more than 30 feet in length and width.

There were many seats in the hall, and there were already many people sitting in them. There were also two cultivators of the Life League in blue standing there.

Seeing Han Li come in, a middle-aged cultivator of the Life League immediately went up to him and cupped his hands, "Fellow Daoist, are you going to take the Sun Moon Divine Boat to Jiuyuan City?"

"That's right." Han Li nodded.

He didn't want to attract attention, so he suppressed his cultivation to the level of a Golden Immortal.

"Fellow Daoist, you came at the right time. There is only one Divine Boat to Jiuyuan City every month, and the next one will depart one day later." The middle-aged cultivator said with a smile.

"Oh, what a coincidence. May I know how much it will cost?" Han Li's eyes lit up, and then he asked.

"Fellow Daoist, you are going to Jiuyuan City too. I wonder if you are interested in buying a ticket with us?

The five of us will share the cost, and we can save a lot of Immortal Essence Stones. "

The middle-aged cultivator of the Life League was about to speak, but at this moment, a voice came from the side, and four cultivators walked over.

All four of them had reached the Golden Immortal Realm, and the leader was a grey-robed old man with a face full of smiles.

As for the other three, one of them was a Youth in black, who looked at most 20 years old, and his face still had a hint of youth.

Next to the Youth in black was a young woman in red, who had a voluptuous figure and a pretty face.

The last person was a beautiful nun in white monk robes. Her hair was tied up high in a bun, and she seemed to be cultivating with her hair. She also carried a snow-white long sword on her back, and she looked a little out of place.

When Han Li saw the four, his expression stirred and he stood there in a daze.

There was no other reason for this. Among the four of them, other than the Youth in black, he recognized the other three.
