At this moment, there was no wind in the secret room, and the black demonic qi was rolling.

In the middle of it, two tiny vortexes appeared out of thin air. Under the violent rotation, they turned into two black spiral-shaped gas columns that were as thick as an index finger, and they rushed straight into Han Li's eyes.

At this time, the blue light in Han Li's eyes was bright, and it looked like the moon in a well. The moment the black gas columns poured in, there was a ripple, and it became blurred.

This pair of eyes was like two bottomless pits, constantly absorbing the demonic qi. Not long after, it became misty, like an abyss, and it was impossible to see through it.

At the same time, his hands retracted in front of him, and after making a strange gesture, he just quietly guarded in front of him, no longer moving.

Circles of purple-gold light patterns, from under his body, appeared layer by layer, and expanded to the surrounding.

…

Time passed quickly, and a few years passed in a flash.

In the secret room of the cave house, there was silence. Han Li, dressed in a green robe, sat cross-legged, still maintaining the posture of a gesture.

The purple-gold scales on his body had disappeared, and the demonic qi that shrouded him also no longer existed. Only the circles of purple-gold light patterns were still expanding like water ripples.

At this moment, he suddenly put his hands together, and his mouth let out a light shout.

As soon as his eyelids opened, two condensed gold light beams instantly bloomed in his pupils, like two bright lights, illuminating the entire secret room.

All the powder and dust in the secret room became visible, and even many of the restrictions he had set up before, could be seen at a glance.

Han Li raised his head slightly and looked out through the hole in the dome. He saw the white clouds in the sky, and the tail feathers of the flying geese all clearly appeared in front of him. Even the subtle airflow and spiritual changes when it flapped its wings became clearly visible.

It seemed that everything on the earth, in front of this pair of ghostly eyes, had nowhere to hide.

This was the basic skill of the Nine Secret Magic Eyes, but he was still not sure what other magical powers there were. It still needed to be revealed in some special environment in the future.

However, the growth of his eyesight was obvious, and it was naturally many times stronger than the original Bright Light Spirit Eyes.

After a while, all the strange phenomena in Han Li's eyes began to disappear. The purple light gradually faded, and his eyes regained their silver luster.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he raised his hand to wipe his cheek. The "Dragon Fifth" mask flickered, turning into the face of an ordinary young man with slightly pale skin. His silver-gray eyes also turned jet-black.

Han Li stood up and stretched his body. Then, he opened the door of the secret chamber and walked out.

The seclusion this time was not short. During this period, Esteemed Scenic Yang and Hot Flame Immortal Supremacy came over, but they were told by the puppet that Han Li was in seclusion, so they did not disturb him and left on their own.

Therefore, after Han Li came out of seclusion, he planned to pay a visit to the two of them.

It was the middle of winter in the Wild Crane Valley. A heavy snowfall had dyed the entire mountain forest white. Be it the pine forest or the sea of bamboos, they were all covered with a thick coat of snow. The snow on the stone slabs in the forest was half a foot thick.

Han Li walked out of the cave abode. He did not ride the wind. Instead, he stepped on the snow that made crunching sounds while admiring the foggy snow scenery on both sides of the road. He walked towards the depths of the valley.

Halfway through his journey, he suddenly noticed that there were some eaves and corners of houses in the depths of the mountain forest. This was not there in the past. It was obvious that they were built during his seclusion.

While he was puzzled, a figure came out from behind a huge rock on the mountain path.

The snow had stopped, but he was still holding a dark red oil-paper umbrella in his hand. He was walking towards the direction of the valley.

As the two approached, Han Li saw the other party's face clearly. It was an extremely beautiful young man. His face seemed to be covered with makeup, and his red cloak made him look even paler.

When they passed each other, the man smiled at Han Li and bowed slightly, but did not say anything.

Han Li returned the bow lightly and also did not say anything.

After passing each other, the two went their own way, leaving only four lines of footprints in the snow.

"Is it a newcomer from the valley?" Han Li was a little puzzled. He shook his head and continued to rush into the valley.

Walking along the mountain path for a few miles, when he finally came to the cliff where the Hot Flame Immortal Supremacy's cave abode was located, he just happened to see a figure flying from the cliff towards the direction of the valley.

"Daoist Hot Flame, where are you in a hurry to go?" Han Li hurriedly called out.

Hot Flame Immortal Venerable, who had just leapt up, heard this and hurriedly turned around and landed back down.

"Daoist Li, you're out of seclusion?" The Hot Flame Immortal Supremacy said with a smile.

"I just came out today. I know you came to see me before, so I came to visit you again." Han Li said with a smile.

"When I went before, you were in seclusion, so I didn't disturb you." The Hot Flame Immortal Supremacy nodded and said.

"Oh, but what's the matter?" Han Li was puzzled.

"It's not a big deal. I just want to remind you not to use the Fire Leaf Sect's elder token to enter the inner city in the near future." The Hot Flame Immortal Supremacy hesitated for a moment and said so.

"Why is that?" Han Li was slightly startled and asked.

"In the past two hundred years, Jukun City has been a little restless. Black Mountain Immortal Palace is a bit strict about the identity of people who enter the city. I'm afraid that you will cause trouble after using it." The Hot Flame Immortal Supremacy sighed and said.

"What's wrong?

Did something big happen in the city? "

Han Li subconsciously thought of what happened after the auction. He thought there was some follow-up development, so he asked quickly.

"It's a long story. Since you're out of seclusion, you can go with me. We'll talk about it later." The Hot Flame Immortal Supremacy frowned slightly, then smiled and said.

"Okay." Han Li had to temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart and nodded.

The two of them flew together and soon arrived at an open cliff in the depths of the valley.

The cliff was located on the right side of the deep valley. It protruded dozens of feet out of the mountain. There was an octagonal pavilion built on top of it. It was also covered with a thick layer of snow.

There was a stone table in the pavilion. Three figures were already sitting around the table. They were Yu Ziqi, Mo Wuxue, and Duan Yuzai. When they saw Han Li and Duan Yuzai, they stood up to welcome them.

After greeting each other, Duan Yuzai looked at Han Li and asked, "Daoist Li, when did you come out of seclusion?"

"I just came out today. It's a coincidence that we have a gathering together." Han Li said with a smile.

"I heard from Daoist Jing Yang that …"

Before Yu Ziqi could finish his words, Mo Wuxue suddenly pulled his sleeve and stopped him. He was startled at first, but then he realized that he had said something wrong. He showed some guilt on his face.

"It's alright. Why can't I mention it?

The pills I refined previously did not achieve the desired effect. I'll have to find another way in the future. "Han Li smiled and said indifferently.

"Daoist Li's temperament is extraordinary. I've worried too much." Mo Wuxue bowed slightly and said with a smile.

"Fairy Mo is meticulous and considerate. I should be the one thanking you.

By the way, why don't I see Daoist Jing Yang? "Han Li returned the greeting and said.

"Daoist Jing Yang hasn't returned to the valley for more than a hundred years. He only said that he had something to take care of," Yu Ziqi said.

Han Li guessed that Jing Yang most likely had something to take care of at Mount Baizao, so he did not continue the topic. Instead, he said, "Then he's not lucky. I happened to bring some 'red mulberry wine' today. Shall we drink a few cups?"

As soon as he said that, the others' eyes lit up and their faces revealed smiles.

They sat down again. Han Li took out wine jars and cups and poured wine for everyone. He raised his head and glanced at Yu Ziqi. He saw that Yu Ziqi was unexpectedly not playing the zither today. Duan Yuzai also did not set up the chessboard. Han Li could not help but frown.

"By the way, Daoist Hot Flame and I were only halfway through our conversation. Can you tell us what happened now?" Han Li looked at the Hot Flame Immortal and asked.

"Daoist Li should have noticed it in the valley, right?

There are a lot of new residents in Wild Crane Valley recently. "The Hot Flame Immortal raised the cup to his mouth but did not drink it.

"On the way here, I seemed to have met a young man in a red cloak with an oil-paper umbrella. He should be the newcomer you were talking about, right?" Han Li nodded and asked.

"That guy is called Feng Qingyuan. He's just one of the new residents in the valley. In the past two hundred years, there have been fifty to sixty newcomers like him living in various valleys of Idle Cloud Mountain," Duan Yuzai said.

"That many?" Han Li was surprised.

One could come and go freely on Idle Cloud Mountain, but according to the past situation, there would only be less than ten foreign cultivators living in Idle Cloud Mountain in the past two hundred years. Sometimes, there would only be one or two. After all, there were not many people who had seen through the path of immortality and cultivated their minds.

Therefore, the current situation was indeed a bit abnormal.

"It's not a big deal if there are more newcomers, as long as everyone follows the rules and doesn't disturb each other.

But in recent years, strange things have been happening in the mountain. People have been disappearing in various valleys, "Mo Wuxue said.

"Last month, a dao couple in the nearby Flower Moon Valley had their cave abode destroyed in a single night. They disappeared from the face of the earth at the same time," Yu Ziqi added.

Han Li had met that dao couple once and knew that they were a pair of True Immortal Initial Stage cultivators. They were usually quite affectionate in front of others.

He asked, "Do the missing people have any special characteristics?"

"From Golden Immortal cultivators with profound cultivation bases to Soul Formation cultivators with low cultivation bases, from beautiful female cultivators to doddering old men … There doesn't seem to be anything special about them," Yu Ziqi answered after pondering for a moment.

"Has no one come out to investigate?" Han Li asked with a frown.

"How?

Idle Cloud Mountain is full of wild cranes who don't care about worldly affairs. They don't form any factions, so there is no unified organization. Who will investigate?

Even if there is, they will investigate in secret.

Moreover, these missing people are of all ages and genders. Their backgrounds are unknown, so there is no way to determine if they are related. "Hot Flame Immortal Venerable shook his head and said with a bitter smile.

"That's right. Who knows if these people have left the valley?

But in the past, even if someone left, they would inform their friends in the valley. Such a silent and large number of people leaving the valley has never happened in the past. "Yu Ziqi continued.
