A figure flashed in the sky. Ingenious Magic Immortal chased after them, but Han Li and the others were nowhere to be seen. She could only smell a trace of burning smell in the air.

Her expression changed slightly, and a trace of haze flashed through her eyes. Her figure flashed, and she chased after them.

Over a hundred miles away, there was an octagonal pavilion in the depths of a dense forest. Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning above it. A silver lightning formation appeared out of nowhere, and four figures fell from it. They were Han Li and the others.

They hurriedly stabilized themselves and landed at the edge of the pavilion.

After stabilizing themselves, Han Li immediately looked around for a moment. He saw that the surrounding forest was dense, and there was only a quiet path leading to this place. There were no other people's auras around them.

"Jintong, can you tell where this place is?" Han Li asked.

"How can I tell? Back then, I was only being escorted by someone. It's not like I was sightseeing. Who knows where I've been teleported to now?" Jintong puffed up his cheeks and said somewhat angrily.

"Maybe we've already been teleported out of Nine Origin Palace." Xiao Bai fantasized.

"Xiao Bai, are you daydreaming again? Look at what's up there!" Jin Tong slapped Xiao Bai's head and pointed at the sky. "Xiao Bai, are you daydreaming again?

Xiao Bai looked up along Jintong's finger. She saw that the sky above the dense forest was still covered by a layer of golden light barrier. Clearly, they were still in Nine Origin Palace's territory.

"The barrier above the Nine Essence Palace is quite extraordinary. It has virtually isolated this entire area from the outside world. My lightning formation techniques are completely unable to pass through the barrier, and even my teleportation distance has been greatly reduced," Han Li mused.

"See? You should've listened to me back then. Let's just kill her and everything would've been fine." Jintong spread his hands and said with an indignant expression.

"The Nine Origin Temple's Ancestral Hall is in Nine Origin Palace. From the information we received earlier, Daoist Master Chun Jun is very likely to be stationed there.

If we make a commotion here and attract him over, it will be very bad, "Han Li said with a slight frown.

"This …" Hearing this, Jin Tong was a little discouraged and hesitantly said.

"Alright, there's no point in arguing about this now. Let's find a new direction and continue to think of a way to escape.

Once the chaos caused by the Samsara Temple is suppressed, it will be even more impossible for us to escape, "Han Li said with a sigh.

"Friend Han is right. Let's hurry up and find the way," Lan Yan added.

After committing such a heinous crime, she could no longer remain in the Jiuyuan Temple. She could only escape from the sect with Lan Yuanzi and find a way to escape to a remote lower realm.

Jin Tong scratched his head and said, "I don't even recognize this place anymore. Where can I find the way?"

"It doesn't matter. Just now, when the teleportation array was activated, I deliberately controlled the teleportation array to head west. As long as we head east again, we will be able to return to where we came from. Then, it will be much easier to find the way," Han Li said.

"Master is indeed far-sighted." Xiao Bai sighed sincerely.

"Why do I feel that after not seeing you for so long, your flattery skills have become more and more refined?" Jin Tong said with a strange expression on his face.

"Hehe, it's all because of your guidance, Big Brother …" Xiao Bai said with a wry smile when he saw her leaning toward him.

After saying that, they continued to pass through the dense forest, all the way to the east.

After about half an hour, Han Li, who was walking at the front, suddenly frowned and raised his fist, signaling Jin Tong and the others to stop and stop moving forward.

Then, he held his breath and pricked up his ears to listen in front of him.

"Friend Han, what's wrong?" Lan Yan's heart tightened and she hurriedly asked.

Han Li did not answer immediately. Instead, he listened carefully for a while before turning to them and saying, "There are people fighting in the forest ahead.

"There are people fighting far away in the forest up ahead. From the sounds of it, there are quite a few of them. I'm afraid the Samsara Temple has been discovered and are being surrounded. We can't go there directly. We have to take a detour," Han Li said.

"That's strange. Why can't I hear anything?" Jin Tong asked in confusion.

After hearing Jin Tong's words, Lan Yan and Lil 'White also expressed that they hadn't heard anything.

Han Li was puzzled. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and figured out the reason. It must be caused by the strange condition of his body after experiencing the Evil Corpse.

"Anyway, let's avoid that place and take a detour to the southeast." Han Li said.

Lan Yan nodded first. Jin Tong and Xiao Bai naturally had no objections. So they turned southeast.

However, after taking a detour for a while, several escape lights suddenly rose into the sky from the dense forest, galloping in the opposite direction of them, followed by a dozen figures chasing after them.

Han Li and the others completely suppressed their auras and carefully looked at the conveyance lights.

The people chasing after them were all wearing the uniforms of the Core Elders and disciples of Jiuyuan Temple. The people in front were obviously from Samsara Temple.

Han Li raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, and a hint of surprise appeared in his heart.

Among the people flying in front, the two people were wearing black masks with the heads of a dragon and an ape respectively. The aura coming from them was very familiar. They were Jiao San and Wu Yang.

Following closely behind them was a man with disheveled hair wearing a rabbit head mask and a black-clothed woman wearing a veiled bamboo hat. At first glance, both of them seemed somewhat familiar.

However, the two figures flashed by quickly, not giving Han Li a chance to take a closer look.

The person at the back of the group did not disguise himself at all. He showed his true appearance with a gentle smile on his face. From time to time, he attacked the people chasing behind him, blocking the enemy's retreat.

He was the Palace Master of the Great Golden Source Celestial Realm, Lu Chuanfeng.

"They have actually invaded Jiuyuan Palace …" Lan Yan's expression was complicated and she was shocked.

Han Li and the others passed by them in a few breaths' time. Soon, those people disappeared from their sight. Only intermittent rumbles could be heard in front of them.

"It seems that the chaos in Jiuyuan Palace will not end anytime soon. This is good news for us. Let's go." Han Li called out and prepared to continue their journey.

At this moment, a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared in the Void in front of them. The aura it contained was mixed with the strong wind and spread over.

The moment Han Li sensed the aura, he immediately froze on the spot.

As this wisp of aura came, the figure of the woman wearing the veil and bamboo hat flashed in his mind again.

Han Li frowned and kept recalling the figure of the woman. His heart could not help but beat faster.

"Is it her?

Is it really her … "

He suddenly turned around and looked in the direction where those people had flown away. The question in his mind kept repeating.

"Friend Han, we are running out of time. What's wrong?" Lan Yan could not help but ask when she saw his strange expression.

Jintong was also very surprised. In the past, she had rarely seen such a complicated expression on Han Li's face. Excitement, doubt, reminiscence …

"Master …" Xiao Bai could not help but call out.

"I have something to confirm. I'm not going to leave immediately," Han Li said with a serious expression.

"Friend Han, you … why are you doing this?" Lan Yan asked in shock.

"It's a private matter that I can't tell you in detail.

If you are not willing to stay, we will part ways here, "Han Li said without explaining further.

"Friend Han has given me and my brother a new lease on life. I was thinking of repaying him, but it's a pity that I will only be a burden if I follow Friend Han.

I will not continue to be a burden to you in the future, "Lan Yan said after a moment's thought.

"Lan Yuanzi's spirit is basically fine now. You can ask the Weeping Soul what you need to do after entering the Flowery Branch Heaven." With that, Han Li raised his hand and waved. A silver door of light appeared in front of her.

Lan Yan bowed to Han Li and walked into the door of light.

"Master, why did we suddenly stop?" Jintong asked when he saw the silver door of light close.

"I sensed a trace of the aura of an old friend among those people from the Samsara Temple … Although it is very different from back then, the feeling it gave me was able to touch the deepest mark in my sea of consciousness.

Even if it is not her, it must be related to her in some way, "Han Li said after a moment of thought.

"Her?

What kind of old friend is it for you to take such a risk? "Xiao Bai could not help asking.

"She is the person closest to me," Han Li said with a smile in his eyes.

Jintong's eyes slowly widened and he was extremely surprised. If she had seen Han Li's expression before, she had never seen the look in his eyes before.

"Since it is someone so important to you, let's catch up and see," Jintong said with a flash in his eyes.

Just as they were talking, two more streaks of light suddenly flew over their heads.

Han Li's heart tightened and he quickly looked over.

He was no stranger to the two figures. One was the master of Mount Baozao, Huo Yuan, and the other was Chi Meng.

However, the two seemed to be focused on chasing Jiao San and the others. They did not notice Han Li and the others hiding in the dense forest below.

"Why did they also come in?" Xiao Bai said with a sigh of relief when she saw that they had flown far away.

"It seems that they followed Jiao San and the others. However, they did not help the Jiuyuan Temple. Instead, they followed us sneakily. I'm afraid that they have some unspeakable secrets," Han Li said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Li waved his hand and opened the silver light door again.

Lan Yan slowly walked out from the door. She still looked a little nervous.

"Have you settled down?" Han Li asked.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Han, Fellow Daoist Weeping Soul." Lan Yan extended another respectful bow.

"That's good. You should be able to reach the border of the Jiuyuan Temple if you continue in the direction we came from," Han Li said.

Lan Yan took out a jade slip with a flip of her hand and handed it over to Han Li.

She said, "The map recorded in this is only a part of the distribution of the Jiuyuan Temple that I know. It was drawn in a hurry and is not very detailed. I hope that you will be able to help when you leave the Jiuyuan Temple."

"Thank you.

Friend Lan, let's go on a long journey. We will meet again if fate allows it. "Han Li took the jade slip and said sincerely.
