"Who are you?"
Han Li stared at the girl. His gaze lingered on the dragon horn on her head for a moment before he quickly moved his gaze away. The coldness in his tone had lessened.
As he spoke, he made a hand seal.
Lightning flashed around him, and the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords that were scattered all over the Dragon Pool Celestial Realm flew back into his sleeves.
"My name is Chen Ruyan, and I am the Dao Ancestor of the Elemental Water Dao Ancestor. Friend Han, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Ruyan." The blue-haired girl giggled.
Hearing that, Han Li could not help but narrow his eyes even though he had already guessed her identity.
He did not speak and only stared at her.
"I may have captured Fellow Daoist Han's dao partner, but I was only following orders. I've already returned her to you, so there's no need for you to treat me with such hostility." Chen Ruyan pouted with an aggrieved expression.
"Are you also a subordinate of the Heavenly Court?" Han Li's eyes flashed.
"I haven't officially joined the Heavenly Court, but I'll help them out from time to time. I have no choice … You should know that Gu Or Jin is too powerful for me to offend," Chen Ruyan said with a smile. She didn't seem to be hostile at all. She would answer any question he asked.
"According to Feng Qingshui, didn't you already send Wan 'er to the Heavenly Court?
Why is she with you? "Han Li asked in a low voice.
Chen Ruyan only giggled and did not speak.
Han Li furrowed his brows.
At that moment, a figure flew out from the blue spiritual realm. It was Feng Qingshui.
The wounds on his body were already invisible, and his aura had recovered a lot.
"Lady Ruyan, I am useless. I have caused you trouble." Feng Qingshui bowed to Chen Ruyan with an ashamed expression.
Han Li's gaze turned cold when he saw Feng Qingshui.
He was not surprised by Feng Qingshui's attitude.
Chen Ruyan was the Elemental Water Dao Ancestor, and Feng Qingshui was the Dao Ancestor of the Water Dao Ancestor. The two were naturally subordinate. Feng Qingshui was equivalent to Chen Ruyan's subordinate.
This sort of relationship wasn't rare among the various Daofathers. Practically every Daofather of the Quintessence Daofather had a group of lesser Daofathers under their command.
"Friend Han is so powerful that even I can't defeat him. It's only natural that you lost to him. Don't be so ashamed," Chen Ruyan said calmly. She had changed the way she talked to Han Li.
Feng Qingshui looked at Han Li with a complicated expression and nodded.
"Friend Han, it was indeed Feng Qingshui who captured your dao companion, but he was also acting on orders from the Heavenly Court. Please don't make things difficult for him in the future, seeing as I've already sent Fellow Daoist Nangong back.
Although Feng Qingshui and I occasionally help the Heavenly Court, we are not on the same side as the ancient and modern people. We have no intention of becoming enemies with the Samsara Temple. "Chen Ruyan turned around and bowed to Han Li.
When Han Li heard this, he faintly came to a realization.
"I see. The ancient and modern people ordered these two to capture Wan 'er. But now that the Samsara Temple has launched a large-scale attack on the major Immortal Realms and is at war with the Heavenly Court, they can't predict the future. So they didn't hand Wan' er over to the Heavenly Court. Instead, they kept her in their hands and waited for the wind to blow.
Previously, Feng Qingshui lied and handed Wan 'er over to the Heavenly Court. I'm afraid he deliberately provoked me to see my strength. After seeing my strength, he was even more unwilling to offend the Samsara Temple, so he sent Wan' er back. "
With these thoughts in mind, Han Li instantly analyzed the current situation and the enemy's possible motives.
"Since Fellow Daoist Chen has said so, Han will let you off this time. If you dare to attack my people again, you won't be so lucky today," Han Li said, glancing at Feng Qingshui.
Then, he waved his hand and put away the Time Domain. Then, golden lightning appeared on his body.
With a thunderous sound, his figure disappeared.
Chen Ruyan looked at the place where Han Li had just stood, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"I didn't expect the Samsara Temple to recruit such an expert. Together with the mysterious Samsara Temple Master, the outcome of the war with the Heavenly Court is even more unpredictable," Chen Ruyan said with a chuckle.
"Lady Ruyan, you handed Nangong Wan over to Han Li. If the Supreme Master asks about it, how should we answer?" Feng Qingshui looked worried.
"It doesn't matter. Just say that you were about to send that person to the Heavenly Court when the Samsara Temple suddenly attacked and rescued Nangong Wan.
Now that the Heavenly Court is at war with the Samsara Temple, they won't dare to do anything to us, "Chen Ruyan said, shaking her head.
"Yes.
By the way, Lady Ruyan, about that Han Li … "Feng Qingshui's face relaxed, but then he stopped.
"Just say it," Chen Ruyan said.
"I met this person in the Dust World about two thousand years ago with a few others. According to the information I just received, one of them is a Prince of the Devil Region. I suspect that he has something to do with the Devil Region," Feng Qingshui said.
"Oh, what happened? Tell me in detail," Chen Ruyan raised her eyebrows.
Feng Qingshui did not dare to be negligent and immediately told her what happened in the Dust World.
"It's impossible to cultivate from the peak of the Golden Immortal to the peak of the Grand Luo in two thousand years. He must have hidden his true strength … As for the fact that he and the Prince of the Devil Region broke the void and went to the Devil Region, although he might not have done it secretly, it must have something to do with this person.
If that's the case, things have become complicated. Could it be that the Samsara Temple and the Devil Region have colluded?
And the Patriarch Liu Qi's escape from the Dust World, could it be the Samsara Temple's doing … "Chen Ruyan's eyes narrowed, light flashing in them.
"Isn't it a fact that the Devil Region and the Samsara Temple are related? The Samsara Temple's mask can construct the method of teleportation, which must be aided by the extremely exquisite power of the Law of Space. In the current Realm of True Immortals, only the people of the Devil Region can cultivate the Law of Space to such a level," Feng Qingshui said.
"There's something else that you don't know about." Chen Ruyan shook her head slightly, a strange look flashing in her eyes.
Feng Qingshui was startled and curious, but when he saw Chen Ruyan's expression, he did not pursue the matter.
"If Old Ancestor Liu Qi was also rescued by the Samsara Temple in the Dust World back then, the Barbarian World might have already formed an alliance with the Samsara Temple by now. The Samsara Temple is so powerful that it has infiltrated every nook and cranny!" Feng Qingshui spoke of another matter with a trace of astonishment on his face.
"What do you think? If the Samsara Temple didn't have this ability, how could they have fought against the Heavenly Court for so many years and still remain standing?" Chen Ruyan said lightly.
Feng Qingshui secretly clicked his tongue and said nothing more.
"The storm is coming. It seems that the Realm of True Immortals is really going to have an earth-shattering calamity. I wonder if we can survive it." Chen Ruyan sighed.
"Lady Ruyan, you think too much. We are Tao Ancestors. As long as we don't get involved in the battle between the Heavenly Court and the Samsara Temple, we should be fine," Feng Qingshui said indifferently.
"Fine?
If the calamity comes, anyone can be involved, like today. If I hadn't come in time, I'm afraid you would have been killed. "Chen Ruyan said.
Feng Qingshui's expression froze and he lowered his head.
"Forget it. It's useless to think about it. Let's take one step at a time." Chen Ruyan shook her head and disappeared in a flash.
Feng Qingshui stood where he was for a moment, then he turned into a blue light and flew toward the Mist Dragon Sect.
The shattered space in the Dragon Pool Celestial Realm had been restored to its original state. The chaotic Qi of Heaven and Earth gradually calmed down, and the sky gradually became clear again.
At the same time, golden lightning flashed in the sky above a small deserted island. Han Li's figure appeared and landed on the island.
He spread out his Divine Sense to explore the surroundings, but he didn't find anything strange. He made a hand seal and opened several layers of restrictions to cover the entire deserted island.
From the outside, the deserted island had disappeared without a trace.
After that, he took out two blue pills and held two Upper Grade Immortal Essence Stones to absorb the Immortal Spiritual Power in them to recover.
Han Li had just fought with two Tao Ancestors, and he had used up a lot of his Qi.
The blue pill was obtained from Shui Zhangtian's storage magic tool. It was a recovery pill for a Late-stage Zenith Heaven Realm cultivator. It was quite effective, and with the help of two Upper Grade Immortal Essence Stones.
It didn't take long for him to recover half of his Qi.
Han Li didn't continue cultivating. He stood up impatiently, opened the entrance to the flower branch space, and entered.
Nangong Wan's body was flashing with a layer of white light. She floated there quietly, sleeping peacefully.
There was a person lying on the ground not far away. It was the Sect Leader of Yangshan. After searching his soul, he threw him into the flower branch space.
Han Li waved his hand and a golden light swept the person in front of him. He cast a spell to carefully erase the traces of the Law of Time left on the person.
Then, he raised his hand and released a golden lightning that wrapped around the Sect Leader of Yangshan and sent him out of the flower branch space.
However, Han Li didn't hesitate to keep Yangshan's storage magic tool.
The golden lightning flashed, and the Sect Leader of Yangshan disappeared. He didn't know where he was teleported to.
He originally planned to use the Sect Leader of Yangshan in exchange for some information about Nangong Wan.
Now that Nangong Wan had been found, the Sect Leader of Yangshan was useless. It wasn't appropriate to keep him by his side. He wasn't a bloodthirsty person, so it was better to send him away.
After doing this, Han Li brought Nangong Wan into the pavilion.
He took out an exquisite gums and placed it on the ground, carefully placing it flat on the ground.
Han Li sat beside her and quietly looked at Nangong Wan's sleeping face. He couldn't help but smile.
Ever since he had ascended to the Realm of True Immortals, he had missed the person on the bed countless times. Although the two of them had met before, Nangong Wan hadn't recovered her memory. If what Jiao San said was true, the two of them could finally meet again today.
Han Li didn't look at her for long. He took a breath and quickly calmed down. Then, he pointed between Nangong Wan's eyebrows.
Blue lines immediately appeared between Nangong Wan's eyebrows, forming a Sealing Magic Formation. However, it wasn't complicated.
Han Li's eyes narrowed. The tip of his finger lit up slightly, forming a sharp cone shape. He gently pierced the blue Sealing Magic Formation.
The Sealing Magic Formation immediately collapsed. After flashing twice, it quickly disappeared.
Nangong Wan's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
