Gui Lingzi's eyes only flickered for a moment when he saw Qu Lin escape, but he did not chase after him in the end.
Compared to Golden Devouring Immortal, Han Li was more attractive to him at the moment.
After all, from the various news that came back previously, it was basically confirmed that the Sky Bottle was with Han Li.
At this moment, Lan Yan was in the most awkward situation.
As a disciple of Jiuyuan Temple, she was helping outsiders to invade her own sect, and Han Li was her only hope to save Lan Yuanzi, so she had to help him.
Gui Lingzi's gaze fell on Lan Yan, and he said sinisterly, "Tsk tsk, traitors deserve more death than outsiders."
Lan Yan had no way to defend herself, so she could only bite her lower lip and remain silent.
At this moment, she had no other choice but to follow Han Li to the end.
Facing a Zenith Heaven Intermediate Stage cultivator, Han Li naturally did not dare to be careless. After a moment of hesitation, he still cupped his fists and said,
"Senior, I did not come to your sect to cause trouble, I just want to find my spiritual pet.
Now that your sect is under attack, it is time for you to turn the tide. Why don't you let me go and catch those big fish that are really a threat to your sect?
There are many people from Samsara Temple in the Golden Jade Pass that I passed by. "
Gui Lingzi only glanced at him coldly when he heard this. He was not interested in talking at all, but he seemed to be thinking about how to deal with the two trapped intruders.
Han Li naturally would not think that he could get rid of the other party with just a few words. As he spoke, his eyes lit up with purple light, and he looked around. At the same time, he secretly accumulated his Celestial Spiritual Energy, trying to find a way to escape.
Sweeping his gaze around, he saw that the stone chamber was pitch black. Under the dim light of the fire, he could vaguely see that the walls were engraved with strange runes that looked like scribbles. They looked like blood grooves that were deeply embedded in the wall.
After Gui Lingzi walked one round outside the formation, he suddenly raised both of his hands and formed hand seals. His mouth also started chanting and waves of ethereal voice echoed in the stone room.
As his voice sounded, a sharp sound suddenly rang in Han Li's mind, and then he became a little dizzy.
The sound of flowing water could be heard from all around the stone room, and a thick smell of blood immediately filled the air.
"Law of the soul?" Han Li was surprised and felt that something was not quite right.
He hurriedly circulated the Spirit Refinement Technique, and at the same time, loud crackling sounds rang out all over his body. Suddenly, a ring of golden lightning appeared and transformed into a lightning robe that wrapped around his entire body. The black threads of light that were binding his body melted under the contact of this golden lightning.
However, beside him, Lan Yan's eyes had become empty and blurry. Her face was filled with pain and malevolence.
Han Li's brows furrowed as he let loose a thunderous roar. A streak of translucent light shot forth from his glabella, striking Lan Yan's glabella. At the same time, several bolts of golden lightning shot forth from his body, wrapping around her body to completely nullify the black threads of light around her.
"Ugh …" She groaned in pain and sat on the ground. Then, she woke up.
"Divine Devilbane Lightning … and the Spirit Refinement Art. Are those supervising immortal envoys of the Heavenly Court eating shit?
They actually allowed you to cultivate the Spirit Refinement Art to this level. But it's fine. Today, you ran into my hands. This is also a rare fate. "
It was unknown whether Gui Lingzi was talking to Han Li or talking to himself. His eyes revealed a strange smile from time to time.
Then, he nodded as if he had made a decision in his heart.
Han Li didn't know what Gui Lingzi's understanding of the word "fate" was, but looking at Gui Lingzi's expression, he knew that it was definitely different from his. This kind of ill-fated fate, Han Li didn't want it.
At this time, he suddenly realized that Gui Lingzi had clearly stopped chanting, but there were still waves of ethereal sounds echoing in the surroundings. The sounds overlapped and pressed together, and actually became stronger and stronger.
The smell of blood in the surroundings didn't weaken at all. Instead, it became thicker and thicker.
"Friend Han, it's over … We entered Sacred Envoy Gui Lingzi's Ten Thousand Spirit Immortal Trap Formation. This time, we're dead for sure." Lan Yan woke up and said with a pale face.
"Ten Thousand Spirit Immortal Trap Formation … This place is filled with ghostly qi. Where is the slightest bit of spiritual qi? I think it's more like a Ten Thousand Ghost Formation." Hearing this, Han Li frowned and thought to himself.
He turned his gaze and looked around with rapt attention. He saw that on the black crystal pillars that stood in the surroundings, hideous and strange faces had appeared at an unknown time. They were densely packed together, causing one's scalp to go numb just by looking at them.
Among them, there were those that looked like humans and those that looked like demons. All of their eyes were wide open and they looked like they were roaring. They looked evil, ugly, and horrifying.
The layers upon layers of voices that sounded like the resentment of a woman whispering in one's ear came from the mouths of these horrifying ghost faces.
A thought suddenly came to Han Li's mind and he immediately felt that something was wrong.
These sobbing and complaining voices were like snowflakes, accumulating bit by bit like the accumulated snow on a mountain. Once it formed a climate, it would be the time for an avalanche. At that time, even the Spirit Cultivation Art might not be effective.
"Immediately seal off your hearing and smash these crystal pillars." He frowned and shouted.
Hearing this, Lan Yan didn't hesitate and immediately did as he said.
However, after she sealed her ears with her Celestial Spiritual Energy, she found that the voices that lingered in her ears didn't decrease at all. Instead, it was as if they were directly ringing in her heart, becoming clearer and clearer.
She was shocked, but she couldn't care about anything else. She held a blue long sword in her hand and slashed down at a black crystal pillar in front of her.
Seeing their actions, Gui Lingzi didn't have the slightest intention of stopping them. He only watched coldly from the side.
Lan Yan's heart skipped a beat. The long sword in her hand had already lit up and turned into hundreds of sharp blue sword lights that slashed at the black crystal pillar.
There was no expected explosion. When Lan Yan's sword light fell on the crystal pillar, it was like a knife cutting into cotton. It directly sank in and was swallowed by the crystal pillar that was flashing with black light.
Before Lan Yan could recover from her shock, there was a rumbling sound not far from her.
She quickly turned her head and saw that Han Li was making a sword sign with his hand, directing dozens of flying swords that were entwined with golden lightning. They turned into tens of thousands of golden sword lights that slashed at the dozens of black crystal pillars in front of them.
The golden lightning reflected each other, and the sound of rolling thunder rang out. The momentum was so great that it was shocking. It looked as if a pool of heavenly tribulation lightning had been drawn from the Nine Heavens, and it was going to explode the void into pieces.
Gui Lingzi, who was outside the formation, saw this and his expression changed. He obviously didn't expect this to happen.
"Rumble …"
In the next instant, a deafening roar rang out, causing Lan Yan's ears to hurt.
In the dark stone room, it was like a golden sun suddenly rose and was submerged by the golden lightning.
Different from where Lan Yan's sword light landed, where Han Li's 72 Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords passed, the black crystal pillar collapsed and directly exploded into pieces.
But what was surprising was that not a single crystal fragment flew out from the stone pillar that exploded. Instead, it directly turned into a ghostly fog and instantly spread.
In the ghostly fog, there was continuous screaming, as if there were thousands of ghosts crying. Figures of evil ghosts constantly flew out from it, densely packed, as if there was no end to them.
Contrary to Lan Yan's expression when she saw the endless ghosts, Han Li's eyes revealed a look of surprise.
He waved his hands and changed the sign. A burst of "zilala" sound suddenly sounded again.
In the ghostly fog, golden lightning swept out like golden spiders, extending in all directions one after another. Suddenly, countless ghosts were hit into green smoke and dissipated.
The low moans of the ghosts were also disrupted by the thunder.
"Isn't this a bit wasteful …" Han Li frowned and muttered to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden change.
On the wall in front of him, there was a sudden burst of bloody light, and a huge ghost face formed by the blood marks appeared. It opened its bloody mouth and suddenly sucked in the air in front of it.
A huge blood-red vortex immediately appeared, and the golden lightning released by the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords suddenly surged and was sucked into the vortex.
The Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, which had been fused with many kinds of extreme yang lightning, should have been the nemesis of all ghosts. But now, the situation was clearly reversed.
Alarmed, Han Li hurriedly raised his hand and waved, wanting to call back the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.
But in the end, a long bloody tongue shot out of the huge vortex like lightning. Like a python flicking its tongue, it wrapped around most of the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords and pulled them into the bloody vortex.
Han Li only had time to call back a small portion of the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords and hold them in his hand. The rest flew uncontrollably into the bloody vortex, and he could no longer sense them.
After the golden lightning of the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords disappeared, the ghosts that had come out of the crystal pillars immediately lost their nemesis. They immediately turned into a ghost tide and surged towards Han Li and Lan Yan.
Seeing this, Lan Yan hurriedly waved her hand, and a blue ball-shaped light screen immediately expanded, turning into a water attribute spirit domain that was three thousand meters wide.
The moment the ghosts entered the spirit domain, they immediately felt as if they had fallen into a vast ocean. Waves of blue ripples surged towards them and blocked their way.
Not long after, more and more ghostly beings surged out from the black crystal pillars in the surroundings. The ghost tide that they condensed became more and more powerful, pressing down on Han Li and Liu Yue from all directions.
Finally, Lan Yan couldn't hold on any longer. Her spirit domain was broken, and all the ghosts pounced on her and drowned her.
It was at this moment that a faint golden light suddenly lit up. Han Li's time spirit domain abruptly spread out and enveloped all the ghosts that were surging in.
If the ghosts were able to charge through Lan Yan's spirit domain due to their advantage in numbers, then they were all frozen in place in Han Li's spirit domain. They couldn't move at all.
