Chapter 684

Han Li calmed himself down and glanced at Hot Flame Immortal Supremacy who was carrying Mu Yan's corpse on his back. Then, he shifted his gaze to the front.

The underground hall was dark and silent. It was dark in front of him and he didn't know where it led to.

"Fellow Li, let's go."

Hot Flame Immortal Supremacy said and stepped forward. He flipped his hand and took out a walnut-sized bright pearl and threw it.

A white arc of light flew up to the dome and embedded itself in it.

The pearl above their heads released snow-white rays of light, illuminating the entire underground hall.

Han Li's eyes narrowed. The entire hall was empty except for a strange wooden chair that looked like two short tree branches intertwining. Half of it was greenish-black and the other half was yellow.

"I thought this was where Martial Uncle Mu Yan stored his spirit pills and immortal herbs. I didn't expect there to be nothing here." Hot Flame Immortal Supremacy's eyes flashed with a hint of pity.

"Since this secret place was set up independently, there must be something special about this place. Maybe there are other things hidden here." Han Li withdrew his gaze from the wooden chair and said.

"That's right."

Hot Flame Immortal Supremacy nodded and continued forward with Mu Yan's corpse on his back. He stopped next to the greenish-black wooden chair and used his immortal spiritual force to bend the corpse's limbs, making it sit upright on the wooden chair behind the table.

Then, he bowed respectfully to the corpse.

Han Li didn't rush to search. He waited for Hot Flame Immortal Supremacy to finish everything before searching the hall with him.

After a while, the two of them came from both sides of the hall. They looked at each other with a hint of disappointment in their eyes and shook their heads at the same time.

"From the situation here, we didn't find any hidden compartments or restrictions." Hot Flame Immortal Supremacy said.

"It seems that this place has most likely been ransacked." Han Li also sighed.

While he was speaking, his eyes suddenly jumped, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Mu Yan's body move a little.

Han Li's heart tightened and he hastily turned his head, only to see Mu Yan's corpse calmly sitting on the strange wooden chair. It didn't move in the slightest, but it clearly didn't appear to be an illusion.

"I don't think so. I was just lucky. No one else would know that there was an underground palace here …" Hot Flame Immortal Monarch clearly did not notice anything unusual and said.

"Perhaps when the Truth Sect was destroyed back then, it had already been looted …"

Halfway through his words, Han Li's expression suddenly changed, and he cried out in alarm, "Fellow Daoist Hot Fire, be careful …"

Just as his voice came out, Mu Yan's corpse suddenly lit up with a strange green light. The huge wound on his abdomen actually condensed black baleful aura. In just a blink of an eye, it had already formed a black bead the size of a grape.

Black Qi swirled around the surface of the bead, making it look rather strange.

Then, the strange wooden chair under Mu Yan's corpse suddenly seemed to come to life. The branches on it suddenly spread to the sides and crazily expanded, sweeping towards Immortal Supremacy Hot Flame like vines.

All of this seemed to take a long time, but it actually happened in an instant.

Although Immortal Supremacy Hot Flame was warned by Han Li, his reaction was still a beat slower. Just as he withdrew his body to dodge, he was swept by several withered yellow vines, and his arm was instantly entangled.

"Ah …"

A miserable scream came from his mouth, and the magic robe on his arm suddenly turned into ashes. Black scorch marks appeared on the exposed skin. His flesh and blood instantly became shriveled, and his skin also became as dry and ugly as tree bark.

Immortal Supremacy Hot Flame immediately opened his mouth, and a blazing red flame gushed out from his mouth, spreading along the withered yellow vines that entangled his arm towards the wooden chair.

However, for some reason, this seemingly blazing flame fell on the wooden vines like dew and rain. It only slid down bit by bit, but couldn't burn the withered yellow vines at all.

At this moment, a whistling sound was heard. A green sword light suddenly lit up, wrapped in strands of golden lightning, and slashed down from the sky.

"Chi la"!

The withered yellow vines were broken, and dark green liquid and black smoke gushed out from them.

After Immortal Supremacy Hot Flame escaped, he immediately flew back and stood next to Han Li. He raised his other hand, took out a golden-green talisman, and stuck it on the wound on his arm.

"Hiss hiss hiss …"

Accompanied by a series of faint sounds, the talisman began to emit waves of stinky white steam.

"Daoist Li, what's going on?"

Immortal Supremacy Hot Flame's forehead was dripping with cold sweat from the piercing pain, but he had no time to care about it.

"I don't know either, but looking at the situation, your Martial Uncle Muyan seems to be turning into a Sha …" Han Li frowned.

His eyes were fixed on the strange wooden chair, and saw that the vines on it had all shrunk back, shaking like a demon's hair, but it didn't take the initiative to sweep the two of them.

"How … how is this possible?

It has been more than ten million years, why did he turn into a Sha at this time? "Immortal Supremacy Hot Flame's face was full of disbelief.

"I don't know the specifics, but it seems to have something to do with the strange wooden chair he is sitting on …" Han Li's eyes fell on the wooden chair and pondered.

Immortal Supremacy Hot Flame couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

After a while, his eyes flashed as if he suddenly came to a realization, and he hurriedly shouted, "That's not a wooden chair, that's …"

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Han Li's scream:

"Not good, he is turning into a Sha … Daoist Hot Flame, quickly help me block those strange vines."

Muyan, who was sitting on the wooden chair, was trembling violently. Under his eyelids, the two decayed eyeballs were shaking violently, moving back and forth as if they were in a nightmare, as if they were about to open in the next moment.

At the same time, Han Li's figure had already rushed forward. He directly summoned nine Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords and combined them into one, stabbing straight at the abdomen of Muyan's corpse where the Sha Qi was forming.

As soon as his figure came within a few dozen meters of the corpse, the greenish-black and withered yellow vines immediately twisted frantically, enveloping him from all directions, whipping and entangling him.

Seeing this, Immortal Supremacy Hot Flame hurriedly summoned the ancient golden mirror, threw it forward, and made a hand seal with one hand, shouting loudly:

"Condense!"

After this shout, the entire ancient golden mirror trembled violently, a complex rune appeared on its surface, and the mirror released countless golden light rays, enveloping the space around Han Li.

Under the illumination of the piercing golden light, a burst of clear fluctuations of the law of time immediately proliferated through the air, and the vines that were hurtling toward Han Li instantly slowed down as if they had fallen into a swamp.

The Mantra Treasure Wheel in Han Li's body instantly reversed, and his speed suddenly accelerated. He flashed through the dense vines, and the green longsword shone with golden light. The Evil Warding Thunder Ball condensed by the Lightningwield Technique directly broke the barrier formed by the greenish-black vines, and pierced into the hole in the abdomen of Muyan's corpse.

"Boom!" Thunder roared!

Dazzling golden lightning instantly blossomed, transforming into countless tiny golden snakes that shot out in all directions, tearing the evil embryo that was just about to take shape into pieces.

The broken Sha Qi turned into a thick Sha Qi, evaporating in the Evil Warding Thunder Ball and dissipating completely.

In a trance, Han Li saw Muyan's corpse open its eyes in the dazzling golden lightning, and a figure was reflected in its pupils, but it was not Han Li, but Chimozi.

After a moment, the golden lightning surged again under the influence of the tens of thousands of sword Qi. Not only did it tear Muyan's corpse into pieces, but even the Twin-Life Tree below it also exploded.

"No …"

"Alas …"

A cry and a sigh sounded in Han Li's ears and heart, one after another. They were from the Hot Flame Immortal Venerable and Magic Light respectively.

Han Li landed on the ground and put away the longsword in his hand. Magic Light's sigh sounded in his heart again, "Friend Han, it's a pity … I was just distracted for a moment when I was in seclusion, alas …"

Han Li naturally knew that it was a pity for the Sha Qi Light that was about to form. With this thing for him to devour and absorb, his cultivation base would surely soar to another level, but Han Li did not want that to be the case.

An Early-stage Primordial Unity expert like Magic Light was already difficult to control. If he continued to widen the gap between them, there was no telling what would happen.

"Fellow Daoist Magic Light, the situation is urgent, we have to act according to the circumstances …" Han Li responded in his heart.

"It's just that we are not fated …" Magic Light could only sigh faintly.

Han Li stopped talking when he heard this. He temporarily cut off the connection between the Flower Branch Space and the outside world, and turned to the Hot Flame Immortal Venerable.

"What's wrong, fellow Daoist Hot Flame, why did you stop me just now?"

The Hot Flame Immortal Venerable had already put away the ancient mirror and hurried over. He looked at the strange wooden chair that had been charred black and said with a look of pity, "Fellow Daoist Li, you … alas …"

"What happened?" Han Li frowned and asked.

"This thing is not a wooden chair, but an immortal plant called the 'Twin-Life Tree'. It is said that Martial Uncle Muyan relied on this to survive the Sha Qi tribulation." The Hot Flame Immortal Venerable pointed at the "wooden chair" that only had half of its charred body left.

"What …" Han Li felt annoyed when he heard this, but there was nothing he could do.

He bent down and wanted to take a closer look to see if there was any way to save the Twin-Life Tree. As a result, he found that there was a green branch in the withered body. When he took it out with two fingers, he found that it was a jade slip in the shape of a branch.

"Could this be …" The Hot Flame Immortal Venerable raised his brows and asked quickly.

"Whether it is the 'Grand Five Elements Fantasy World Art' or not, you can check it yourself." Han Li generously handed over the jade slip and said.

When the Hot Flame Immortal Venerable saw this, he felt a little embarrassed to take it.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Forget it, Fellow Daoist Li has saved my life time and time again, but I have always been prejudiced against the sect. It's really … whether it is the 'Grand Five Elements Fantasy World Art' or not, Fellow Daoist Li can check it, but this thing …"
