In an unknown Void.

Dressed in a black robe and wearing a bamboo hat, the Samsara Temple Master stood on a cliff suspended in the air. In front of him floated a Void Mirror the size of an ordinary bronze mirror. Light flickered in the mirror, and there seemed to be figures floating in it.

If one looked closely, they would find that the figures in the mirror were Han Li and Nangong Wan. The Samsara Temple Master had been paying attention to this place.

Not far behind him stood seven or eight figures. The leader of the group was also dressed in a black robe, but his head, neck, and arms were tightly wrapped in bandages. It was Yuan Chunfeng from the Heaven Mending Sect.

At this moment, Yuan Chunfeng took a few steps forward and came behind the Samsara Temple Master.

"Temple Master, when Nangong Wan left the Underworld and was captured by the Heavenly Court, I already predicted it. Why didn't I interfere? Instead, I allowed her to be captured and threatened by the Heavenly Court?" Yuan Chunfeng asked, puzzled.

"Nangong Wan's temperament is no different from Ru Shuang's. Now that she has many of Ru Shuang's memories, she has become more stubborn. Once she has made up her mind, she won't change her mind. Unless I forcibly detain her, I won't be able to stop her." The Samsara Temple Master glanced at him and said casually.

"If that's the case, it's not too late for us to take action when she is being hunted." Yuan Chunfeng added.

"On one hand, I did this to let Han Li know that the Heavenly Court never cares about the means. Today, Nangong Wan was implicated because of me. In the future, she may be implicated because of him. There's no way to avoid it." The Samsara Temple Master said flatly.

"He and the Great Path of the Time Great Elder are at odds. In the future, the Heavenly Court will not tolerate him.

Based on the way things have been done since ancient times, they will definitely not let go of anyone close to him. "Yuan Chunfeng said after thinking for a while.

"Apart from that, I did this to fool the Heavenly Court.

They have been searching for me for more than a million years, but they have never been able to force me to show up. Now that this matter has happened, I have finally 'lost my composure'. They will think that I will ignore the arrangements and fight them head-on. "The Samsara Temple Master's eyes flickered and he sneered.

"However, this method is still a little risky. Things will be difficult if Nangong Wan is really sent to the Heavenly Court," said Yuan Chunfeng after a moment of silence.

"Feng Qingshui is a little stupid, but the one above him is not stupid. Even your Heaven Mending Sect knows to bet on both sides, so how could he offend the Samsara Temple?

Therefore, he will definitely ask Feng Qingshui to temporarily detain him, "the Samsara Temple Master said calmly.

"Even so, if something happens to Nangong Wan during the hunt …" Yuan Chunfeng said.

"Haven't you already divined the result of the hunt? If anything happens, shouldn't you be the one to blame?" The Samsara Temple Master tilted his head slightly and looked at Yuan Chunfeng.

When Yuan Chunfeng heard that, his body stiffened and he felt a chill run down his spine.

After pausing for a moment, the Samsara Temple Master suddenly smiled and said, "With me looking after him, how could there be an accident?"

"Of course," said Yuan Chunfeng with a nod.

The Samsara Temple Master withdrew his gaze and looked at Han Li and Yuan Chunfeng in the mirror.

"Temple Master, can this method really provoke Han Li and make him decide to fight the Heavenly Court with us?" Yuan Chunfeng's eyes flickered and fell on Han Li as he asked.

"In this world, no one knows him better than I do.

Every dragon has a reverse scale, and anyone who touches it will die. Nangong Wan is Han Li's reverse scale. Now that his cultivation has skyrocketed, he will not give up. Eh … "

Before the Samsara Temple Master finished his words, he suddenly let out a soft "eh".

Then, in the Void Mirror, Han Li suddenly turned his eyes and looked straight at the Samsara Temple Master outside the mirror. The next moment, a strange light shone and the Void Mirror exploded.

Except for the Samsara Temple Master, everyone, including Yuan Chunfeng, was startled by this sudden scene.

"Temple Master, this is …" Yuan Chunfeng asked tentatively.

"Nothing, he discovered my probing … Ha, he even erased the Samsara Mark I left on Nangong Wan." The Samsara Temple Master chuckled and said casually.

"Does this mean that he will guess that you connived this and won't be jealous?" Yuan Chunfeng asked.

"Perhaps, but the result will be the same." The Samsara Temple Master smiled and did not seem worried about this.

…

Somewhere in the Longyuan Celestial Domain, in an ancient forest.

Han Li and Nangong Wan stood facing each other under a thousand-foot-tall parasol tree.

"What's wrong?" Nangong Wan asked with a strange look on her face.

They had planned to go straight to the Green Yuan Continent and use the Teleportation Formation there to go to the Central Mainland Celestial Domain. For some reason, Han Li suddenly brought her to this forest when they were passing by.

Han Li didn't immediately reply. Instead, he turned his gaze around and carefully examined his surroundings for a moment. Finally, his gaze focused on a peculiarly shaped greyish-white mountain rock not far behind him.

A greyish-white winged moth was perched on the rock. Its four wings were flapping slightly, but it didn't fly away.

"Humph, first it was the withered grass, then the fish, then the spiritual sparrow, and now the moth. Aren't you tired of following me all the way?" Han Li snorted coldly.

In the next moment, a crystal light shot out from his eyes, and the greyish-white moth exploded, turning into a pile of ashes and scattering.

Nangong Wan was surprised to see this. She was about to ask about it when she frowned.

"Why is there the fluctuation of the Law of Samsara on that moth?" Nangong Wan asked, puzzled.

"It's the Samsara Temple Master's doing," Han Li said.

After he spoke, his eyes narrowed and he carefully examined Nangong Wan's body for a moment. Then, he raised his hand and touched the back of her neck.

Nangong Wan did not resist at all and obediently leaned her head toward him.

Han Li's palm fell on the back of her neck. He felt a slight heat in his palm and a pale golden light shone.

Nangong Wan only felt a slight burning pain, but it was only for a moment and soon passed.

"He left a mark on me?" Nangong Wan asked with a frown after Han Li withdrew his hand.

"Just like the moth, it must be a trick left behind by the Samsara Temple Master to protect you.

If Feng Qingshui tried to hurt you, he would be able to use these tricks to get to you in an instant.

But now that I'm by your side, you don't need these tricks anymore, "Han Li said with a smile.

Nangong Wan's heart warmed when she heard this. She smiled gently and said, "Let's not care about the past. What's important is that we can be together."

"It's a pity that some people don't want us to live in peace," Han Li sighed.

"Let's leave this place and return to the Spiritual Realm or the Human Realm. Even if we go to the Alien Realm, we just need to leave this place." Nangong Wan held Han Li's hand and said slowly.

"It's useless.

All these years, I always thought that I lived according to my heart. I always felt that no matter how difficult it was, I always acted according to my own path. But the more I lived, the more I realized that the influence of fate was everywhere. "Han Li raised his hand and gently stroked Nangong Wan's hair beside her ear and said with a bitter smile.

"The Heavenly Way operates without a rule. How can there be fate?

If there really is fate, I have to thank it for bringing you to me. "Nangong Wan shook her head and said.

"For this … I should thank it." Han Li paused for a moment and said with a smile.

Nangong Wan's eyes curved when she saw this and she also smiled.

"Now that I've reached the Peak of the Zenith Heaven Realm, I can increasingly feel the conflict between the Great Way and the Time Dao Ancestor.

I can already vaguely see the flow of the River of Time. The Time Dao Ancestor is like the god who controls the river, while I'm like a thief who digs a canal and tries to divert the river, "Han Li said slowly.

"If you can sense it, then he …" Nangong Wan said with a little fear.

"The Time Dao Ancestor must have sensed it. There are thousands of Great Ways in the world, but the further you go, the more you go, the more you'll step on a single-log bridge.

If you're lucky, there'll be no one on the bridge. If you're unlucky, you'll meet him on a narrow path, and I can't avoid him, "Han Li said with a serious look.

Nangong Wan felt that Han Li's grip on her hand had unconsciously tightened. She knew that Han Li had made up his mind, so she stopped trying to persuade him.

"Since you've decided to go straight ahead, although I can't help you, I'll advance and retreat with you," Nangong Wan said indifferently, but her eyes were quite firm.

"No.

Once you go to the Heavenly Court, it'll be like entering a tiger's den. It can be said that every step is dangerous.

I can't let you take such a risk. "Han Li hurriedly shook his head and said.

"Listen to me … In Gan Rushuang's memory, I once fought with him against the ancient times. Although I failed, I don't regret it.

This time, I'm going to accompany you.

If I lose, I'll accompany you to the end of the journey. If I win, I'll witness that moment with my own eyes. "Nangong Wan held Han Li's arms with both hands and looked at him solemnly.

Han Li nodded slightly. Looking at Nangong Wan's firm eyes, he sighed in his heart and couldn't refuse her.

"After this, it seems that I can't rest assured no matter where I put you," Han Li said.

"Perhaps the most dangerous place is the safest place.

You can only rest assured if I'm by your side, and you can really fight with me, "Nangong Wan said with a smile.

"If you must go with me, after entering the Central Mainland Celestial Realm, unless it's necessary, you must stay in the branch space and can't come out," Han Li said solemnly.

"Okay, I promise you," Nangong Wan said with a nod.

Han Li's expression slightly relaxed. He put his hand on Nangong Wan's shoulder and carefully looked at her pretty face. Suddenly, he felt as if he had been separated from her for a lifetime.

"What are you looking at?" Nangong Wan's ears were slightly hot. She looked away and asked in a low voice.
