As the team continued to advance, the group gradually climbed higher and higher. When the sun rose the next day, they climbed along the cliffs of the mountain and were halfway up the mountain.

The higher they went, the narrower and more difficult the path became. The scaled beast and the puppet at the front were almost opening the path as they moved forward. Naturally, their speed was not very fast.

Almost everyone from Xuan City stood on the back of the scaled beast with solemn expressions.

"Rumble …"

Bursts of muffled, thunderous sounds constantly came from the ravine below the mountain wall.

Everyone listened with palpitations and looked down.

Immediately after, a white mist rose from the bottom of the valley. It was extremely fast, and it was accompanied by a series of rumbling sounds.

Below the white mist, balls of violent wind blades swept up, containing a bone-chilling aura rolling over.

"It's coming again, be careful!"

No one knew who shouted, but everyone's Xuan Acupoints lit up and they all took action.

Duan Tong stood on the back of a Black-scaled Elephant, raised his right hand, which had the magical power of the Mysterious Arm, and clenched his huge fist tightly. He took a small step back and suddenly smashed towards the white mist that was rushing towards him.

"Boom!" The void shook violently.

The tip of Duan Tong's fist seemed to be shrouded in a layer of starlight vortex, causing the void in front of him to suddenly press forward, turning into a huge force that could destroy a city and split open a mountain.

This force collided with the white mist that was blown away by the wind, and at the same time collapsed.

On the back of another Black-scaled Elephant that was a distance away, the pig-faced youth, Fang Chan, who looked a little silly, was holding a roasted demon beast thigh in his left hand. He tore off a large chunk of meat from the thigh and chewed it in large mouthfuls.

The beast thigh was obviously completely cold, and there was a layer of white fat frozen on it. It looked a little disgusting, but Fang Chan did not care at all and was happily eating.

From the corner of his eye, he saw a cloud of white mist flying towards him. He frowned slightly, as if his appetite was disturbed, and his face showed a hint of displeasure.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He retracted the beast thigh in his hand, turned towards the white mist, and suddenly opened his mouth to let out a sharp cry.

An extremely powerful sound wave, almost visible to the naked eye, continued to expand and hit the white mist.

As the two collided, the white mist burst apart along with the whirlwind below it, turning into a mist that spread in all directions.

Han Li looked at the mist that had not yet dissipated. Suddenly, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he cried out in alarm.

"Be careful …"

Before his voice faded away, a black shadow rushed out from the misty fog. Immediately after, the head of a gigantic scaled python suddenly popped out. It opened its bloody mouth and bit down on Fang Chan's head.

The scaled python's body was hidden in the mist at the bottom of the cliff, but the size of its head was almost the same as a Black-scaled Elephant. When it opened its mouth, it seemed as if it could swallow the entire Black-scaled Elephant into its stomach.

Fang Chan, who usually seemed stupid, was now extremely alert. With Han Li's warning, he had already leapt into the air, leaping ahead of the scaled python. He suddenly opened his protruding mouth, and once again let out a sharp cry.

"Ao …"

With this cry, circles of white starlight gushed out from his mouth, transforming into circles of powerful ripples that could be seen with the naked eye, and rushed towards the scaled python's head.

With a bang, the scaled python's head exploded into a flower of blood, and a large number of its scales were sent flying. Its head fell heavily onto the back of the Black-scaled Elephant.

"Crash!" A series of sounds rang out …

The black stone palace on the back of the Black-scaled Elephant was smashed into pieces, and rubble and tiles fell to the ground. The other two Opal City cultivators who lived in the same palace as Fang Chan quickly leapt up from the back of the elephant and climbed up the steep cliff.

The cliff beneath the Black-scaled Elephant, which had been smashed by the python, was unable to bear the weight and directly collapsed. In a panic, its front hooves soared into the air, and its huge body abruptly fell backwards, crashing into the body of a scaled beast puppet behind it.

The scaled beast puppet lost its balance, and with the collapse of the cliff beneath it, its body unexpectedly fell as well. Following the collapse of the crystalline blue rocks, it slid down the cliff.

On the back of the puppet stood two women in black dresses, their faces covered by a light veil. Their hands were constantly waving in the air, and on their arms were two white bone rings that sparkled with starlight.

The bear-like scaled beast puppet's chest had a ring of beast core that was flashing wildly. Its four hooves stepped on the falling rocks, and it struggled to climb back up the cliff. However, the speed at which the rocks were collapsing was simply too fast. Although the bear-scaled beast did its best to climb up, it still couldn't avoid sliding down the cliff.

Seeing that the scaled beast puppet was about to be buried under the collapsing rocks, the two black-robed women standing on top of it finally made up their minds to abandon it. With a light leap, they flew towards the top of the cliff.

Just at this moment, something strange happened again.

For some reason, the scaled python that had been struck down by Fang Chan suddenly raised its head and opened its bloody mouth. An icy blue light appeared in its mouth, and strands of blue cold air that seeped into one's bones gushed out.

"Ka ka" sounds could be heard in the air, as if the air itself was slowly freezing towards the two women.

Just as the two women from the Puppet City climbed up the cliff, they saw a wave of cold air enveloping them. They hurriedly struck out with their palms towards the blue cold air.

Han Li's gaze swept across them, and he saw that the two women's arms also had many Xuan acupoints lit up. It could be seen that they had put in a lot of effort into training their bodies.

However, their strength was ultimately incomparable to Duan Tong and Fang Chan. With a wave, they could only disperse the blue cold air a little. Before they could pass through, they felt a bone-piercing cold air from their lower bodies, and half of their bodies were actually frozen.

With that, the two of them instantly lost their ability to move, and their bodies involuntarily fell down the cliff once again.

Seeing this, Han Li frowned slightly. With a flash, he disappeared from where he stood.

Gu Qianxun wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

"Peng peng" sounds of explosions could be heard in the air. It was Han Li, who was stepping on the air, chasing after them.

The Xuan acupoints on his legs shone brightly, and his speed was extremely fast. With a few flashes, he arrived beside the two women in black dresses. Grabbing their arms, he leaped in the air and returned to the cliff in two to three steps.

At this time, the handsome Youth from the Puppet City, who carried a pair of halberds on his back, had already stepped on the cliff and was flying over.

When he saw that Han Li had saved them, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. He immediately turned around and grabbed a short halberd on his back. The muscles on his arms bulged, and he threw it forward.

"Hu" A whistling sound could be heard.

After the white bone halberd shot out, it drew a bright silver light across the air. It was as if the Milky Way was hanging horizontally, and it emitted a strong wave of the power of the stars.

As the silver light of the stars flashed, the short halberd instantly pierced into the scaled-python's head. Almost soundlessly, it went in, and with a "pu" sound, it came out from the back of its head.

The handsome Youth's mouth curled up, and he raised two of his fingers lightly.

"Chi …" The sound of flesh tearing could be heard.

A white crystal line connected to the short halberd suddenly streaked across, and the scaled-python's head was split open like a watermelon.

The handsome Youth casually pulled, and the short halberd flew back with a "whoosh". The crescent-shaped edge of the halberd still had a fist-sized Beast Core hanging on it.

The huge body of the scaled-python slid down the cliff. The handsome Youth returned to the edge of the cliff, and took the two women in black dresses from Han Li's hands. He smiled and said, "I am Zhuo Ge, thank you for your help. May I know how to address you?"

"Li Feiyu." Han Li replied.

"This is an Earth-level Beast Core. Please accept it." The handsome Youth named Zhuo Ge casually tossed the Beast Core of the scaled-python over and said.

Han Li did not decline and received it. He cupped his fists and turned to fly towards Gu Qianxun.

"This person … is a little interesting." Zhuo Ge said with a smile, and immediately returned with the two women.

Seeing that Han Li had landed on the back of the Black-scaled Elephant, Gu Qianxun frowned and said, "Fellow Li, you are too reckless."

"What's wrong?" Han Li raised his eyebrows and asked.

"In the end, we and the Puppet City are enemies. Even if you don't want to slaughter them, you shouldn't have helped them.

This way, the others will probably think of you as a traitor. "Gu Qianxun transmitted her voice to him.

Han Li looked around and saw that the people of Xuan City were all looking at him with unfriendly expressions. Only the pig-faced youth, Fang Chan, was smiling at him. It was unknown if he was showing his naivety or if he was grateful for Han Li's warning.

Han Li retracted his gaze and the corner of his mouth twitched. He transmitted his voice to Gu Qianxun, "The situation here is changing rapidly. If both sides are not willing to cooperate, I'm afraid we won't be able to gain anything in the end."

In reality, he had not been able to find any news about Violet Spirit in Xuan City. Thinking back to the corpse of the puppet he found in the cave, he felt that she might have fallen into the hands of the people from the Puppet City.

These days, he had been trying to get some information from the people from the Puppet City. Unfortunately, most of the time, the people from the Puppet City did not come out, and the two groups rarely crossed paths. He had no idea where to start.

Now that there was a chance to get in touch with the Puppet City, he naturally would not let it go. Why would he care if he offended the Xuan City?

After this torment, the two teams became even more cautious, constantly paying close attention to the movements at the bottom of the cliff. But even so, they were still attacked several times by hundreds of ice-scaled beasts that looked like snow leopards, making it extremely difficult for them to advance.

Fortunately, hard work paid off. After climbing over the mountain, they followed the mountain down and finally arrived in front of a huge canyon in the depths of the mountain range.

Han Li and the people from Xuan City and the people from the Puppet City set up camps on the left and right sides of the canyon.

Within the canyon, half of the walls were dark blue and the other half were crimson red, emitting a cold and scorching aura. Looking through the canyon, one could see that the Black Abyss ran through the entire canyon, like a black river cutting it off from the center.

The Black Abyss was also surrounded by dense spatial cracks that gathered together like a storm.
