Han Li's mind raced. At this moment, he had already believed most of what was written on the mysterious paper.
This was not only because of what Du Long had just said, but also because of Chen Yang's reaction to the Real Spirit Bloodline in his body. It was more of an intuition.
His intuition told him that what was written on this piece of paper was true.
Speaking of which, ever since he embarked on the path of cultivation, this kind of intuition towards danger had saved him countless times.
When he thought up to here, he lightly touched his chest while a trace of livid expression appeared on his face.
If the Lord of Qingyang City was really plotting against him, then the situation would be terrible. He still had the Black Tribulation Bug in his body. If he did not take it out, he would not be able to escape.
At that time, the Lord of Qingyang City could make him suffer a fate worse than death with just a thought.
However, it was also impossible for him to obediently die without doing anything.
Han Li paced back and forth in the room for a while before he stopped again. He flipped his hand and took out the small red bottle. After looking at it for a moment, he opened his mouth and spat out a dark green bottle. It was the Sky Wielding Bottle.
He did not drink the red liquid in the small red bottle as described on the paper. Instead, he poured all of it into the Sky Wielding Bottle. Then, he sealed the bottle and swallowed it again.
Although Han Li roughly believed the words on the paper, he definitely wouldn't do as the other party said and obediently drink this strange red liquid.
However, it would be too rash to throw away the red liquid. After thinking about it, it was safer to store it in the Sky Wielding Bottle for now.
After doing this, Han Li closed his eyes and meditated. He continued to think about how to deal with it.
In fact, it was not that he had not considered escaping over the years. He had also secretly inquired about a lot of things.
The entire Mysterious Arena was built in a completely sealed place within Qingyang City. Apart from a few special areas such as the Star Pond, the only connection to the outside world was the entrance of the Mysterious Arena.
Although the Star Pond and a few other special areas were also connected to the outside world, they were all set up with restrictions. At the same time, there were experts standing guard to prevent anyone from escaping from there.
He had investigated these places in the past few years, both openly and secretly. In his heart, he had already decided what to do if he were to escape one day.
However, the most difficult part was not the escape route, but the method to deal with the Black Tribulation Bugs.
He had also made many inquiries about this insect. Unfortunately, it was the trump card of Qingyang City to control the slaves of the Xuan gladiators. The clues about this matter were extremely secretive. Without using any unconventional means, the progress was very limited. Thus, until now, there had been no results.
It was just that the current situation was urgent and did not allow him to hesitate any longer.
Han Li opened his eyes abruptly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He stood up and walked out of the room.
"Fellow Daoist Li."
"Brother Li."
The Xuan gladiators in the 9th district greeted him as usual when they saw him.
After all, the present was different from the past. Although Han Li's cultivation did not change much on the surface, the strength he displayed in the Mysterious Arena was obvious to all. Coupled with his rather close relationship with the boss of this area, Du Long, he naturally became the target that many people wanted to curry favor with.
Han Li nodded and quickly left the 9th District, arriving at the Exchange Hall.
He wandered around the hall, then casually walked into the passageway that led to the 4th District.
After lingering in the 4th District for a while, Han Li went to the 8th District, and then to the 1st District.
He walked back and forth a few times, and when he returned to the Exchange Hall, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
He had been wandering around aimlessly, constantly probing the surroundings without leaving a trace.
If the Qingyang City Lord was about to launch an attack, perhaps he would send someone to monitor his movements.
However, he had just walked around in a circle and did not find anyone following him.
He heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he could not help but feel puzzled.
Although the situation in front of him was beyond his expectations, he had already made a decision and did not intend to back out midway.
Han Li exhaled lightly and stepped into a passageway. Soon, he arrived at a place similar to the 9th District. He walked to the front of a room and knocked on the door.
After a moment, the door creaked open slowly, revealing the figure of a Youth in grey. It was the person who brought Han Li into the Mysterious Arena, Zhu Jieshan.
"Friend Zhu, long time no see." Han Li greeted him with a smile.
"Li Feiyu?
What are you doing here? "When Zhu Jieshan saw Han Li, he revealed an odd expression and frowned.
"Friend Zhu, you don't have to be so vigilant. We are old acquaintances. It was you who led me into the Mysterious Arena. I remembered that you brought me here, so I came here today to catch up with you. At the same time, I have a small matter that I would like to ask for your help." Han Li said with a smile. Without a trace, he stuffed a small cloth bag into Zhu Jieshan's hand.
Zhu Jieshan raised his eyebrows. The cloth bag contained a few round objects. They were Mysterious Level Beast Cores.
"Friend Li is too polite. Come in." His expression softened slightly, and he let Han Li in.
Zhu Jieshan's residence was similar to Han Li's, but the area was much larger. In addition to the chairs, there were many other things in the house.
Everything was arranged neatly and in an orderly manner.
Han Li looked around. When he turned back, Zhu Jieshan had taken out a tea set from somewhere and brewed a pot of tea.
The fragrance of the tea permeated the air and refreshed the mind.
"The Mysterious Arena is lacking in resources. There is no good tea here. Please don't take it to heart, Friend Li." Zhu Jieshan smiled.
Han Li blew on the tea and took a sip with a smile, "I wish Fellow Daoist luck with the tea's fragrant aroma. If this isn't considered good tea, then we'll all be drinking plain water."
"If Friend Li likes it, you can bring some when you go back.
By the way, what brings Friend Li here? "Zhu Jieshan waved his hand and asked with a smile.
"Just now, when I returned to my room, I suddenly discovered that someone had snuck into my room and left this envelope. The contents of the envelope shocked me, so I came to discuss it with Friend Zhu." Han Li's expression was solemn. He took out the envelope and handed it over.
Zhu Jieshan's eyes flashed. He took the envelope and looked at it. His expression suddenly changed.
Just as his mind was shaken, Han Li's right hand quickly pointed. His index and middle fingers flashed with a white light, like a snow-white dagger. It pierced toward Zhu Jieshan's lower abdomen.
At the same time, a crystal light flashed from between his eyebrows. A crystal chain flew out and pierced toward Zhu Jieshan's head.
"Clang!" "Clang!"
A snow-white bone sword appeared in front of Zhu Jieshan's lower abdomen and intercepted Han Li's finger.
A series of translucent patterns appeared on Zhu Jieshan's forehead, faintly forming the shape of a talisman. Piercing light radiated from the talisman, forming a translucent light shield that kept Han Li's spiritual sense chains at bay.
Han Li's expression sank when he saw this.
"I knew there was something wrong with you. You dared to play such petty tricks in front of me!" Zhu Jieshan held the bone sword in his hand and sneered.
His voice hadn't even faded when he moved his five fingers that were holding the sword. The white bone sword in his hand suddenly blossomed with a white light. It emitted a sharp whistling sound and condensed into a large white Sword Qi. Then, it fiercely chopped toward Han Li.
"Sword Qi!"
Han Li's pupils shrank. He couldn't use Devil Qi or Immortal Qi in the Accumulated Scale Space. So, how could a Sword Qi appear?
Although he was somewhat surprised, his reaction didn't slow down. His figure flashed and disappeared without a trace. The white Sword Qi hit empty air.
Zhu Jieshan was stunned. The next moment, his complexion changed. He quickly turned around, and the bone sword in his hand chopped behind him with a dazzling white light. It cut through the air and issued a sharp sound.
But, a palm appeared in front of him without waiting for the white bone sword to strike. It turned into a sharp blade and pierced toward Zhu Jieshan's chest.
"Bang!" a loud sound was heard!
Zhu Jieshan's chest felt hot. Then, his whole body was hit by a sharp force. His body was sent flying like a straw in a gale. He fiercely hit a nearby wall.
There was a huge wound on his chest. Blood gushed out. He also spat out a mouthful of blood. The bone sword in his hand flew out.
"You …"
Zhu Jieshan's face was full of shock. But, he hadn't finished speaking when a shadow blurred in the air above his head. Han Li's figure appeared again like a ghost. Then, he punched downward.
Zhu Jieshan lost the weapon in his hand. He struggled to raise his arms in an attempt to block the attack.
But, he was seriously injured. His movements were sluggish. He couldn't even raise his arms. His forehead had already taken a heavy blow.
"Bang!" a muffled sound was heard!
Zhu Jieshan's body heavily hit the ground like a meteorite. He spat out another mouthful of blood. His pupils were trembling. His vision was misty. It was obvious that his mind and soul had been shaken by this punch. He lay motionless on the ground. His whole body was in a semi-conscious state.
However, the charm on his forehead and the sparkling and translucent light shield weren't affected. They were still as bright as before.
Han Li's eyes flickered when he saw this scene. Then, a crystal light flashed between his eyebrows. Then, a translucent small crystal light sword flew out. But, it immediately became several times bigger. It turned into a Divine Sense Sword that was several feet long.
The Divine Sense Sword was engraved with strange charm characters. It emitted waves of powerful Divine Sense. Then, it fiercely chopped the sparkling and translucent light shield on Zhu Jieshan's forehead.
"Ka-cha!" a light sound was heard!
The sparkling and translucent light shield was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of the Divine Sense Sword. It was easily chopped into pieces. The charm on Zhu Jieshan's forehead also broke into pieces. Then, it disappeared.
The Divine Sense Sword suddenly stopped after it had chopped the sparkling and translucent light shield.
He made a gesture with his hand. The Divine Sense Sword flashed. Then, it disintegrated into several sparkling and translucent chains. Then, they submerged into Zhu Jieshan's head.
Several Divine Sense Chains wound around Zhu Jieshan's mind. Then, they wrapped him up in layers.
Zhu Jieshan's body twitched. Then, he became motionless.
Han Li's figure flashed. He appeared behind the door. Then, he opened the door a crack, and looked outside.
Zhu Jieshan's residence was made of the same materials as his own residence. His Divine Sense couldn't pass through. The soundproofing effect was very good. That was why he had acted so brazenly.
It was quiet outside the door. It was obvious that no one had noticed the fight that had just taken place.
Han Li felt relieved. He closed the door again. Then, he turned around and walked to Zhu Jieshan's side. He made a gesture and pointed between Zhu Jieshan's eyebrows. A crystal light flashed.
Zhu Jieshan's body moved. He slowly opened his eyes. His eyes had regained their clarity.
"Li Feiyu, how dare you sneak attack me!
Aren't you afraid that the Black Tribulation Worms will devour your heart?! "Zhu Jieshan roared at Han Li as soon as he regained his consciousness.
