Chapter 978

Han Li's gaze flickered as he looked at his surroundings with a contemplative look on his face.

Although he had found the formation diagram of the Weeping Blood Formation in the back hall, he still had no idea why the formation would appear here or where the power of qi and blood inside the blood-colored light door had come from.

Looking at Eke's expression, he probably knew something.

Han Li raised his head to look at the sky as thoughts ran through his mind.

Eke and Sha Xin had left this place without hesitation. It seemed that the saint's skeleton was definitely not here and was most likely hidden in the depths of the Great Ruins.

However, in order to find the purple spirit and to leave this Jilin Void Realm, he couldn't retreat no matter how dangerous it was.

Han Li let out a long sigh as if he had exhaled all the worries in his heart. His expression became calm again.

He clenched his fists as white light shone from the surface of his body. Dense specks of light appeared all over his body, and there were as many as four hundred and seventy-five of them.

Although Zhuo Ge had gotten in the way, he had still used the power of the Weeping Blood Formation to cultivate the first three levels of the Heavenly Fiend Hell Suppression Technique to perfection before the formation collapsed.

Furthermore, the Sky Holding Bottle in his body had absorbed most of the power of the Weeping Blood Formation. In the future, he could use it to open up other profound openings.

With the cultivation of his corporeal body, although he still wasn't a match for Eke and Sha Xin, other than the two of them, no one else from Xuan City and Puppet City was a match for him.

Furthermore, with the speed of his movement technique, he should have some confidence in escaping even if he had to face Eke and Sha Xin.

Han Li quickly withdrew the white light from his body and leaped back to the ground.

He turned his gaze to the other side of the blood pool.

Chen Yang and Xuanyuan Xing were still standing there, motionless.

He made a hand seal and pointed. Crystal light flashed above their heads as numerous crystal chains shot out.

Chen Yang and Xuanyuan Xing moved their bodies and immediately recovered.

The two of them looked around and saw that the hall was in a mess. It was even more damaged than before, and other than Han Li, there was no trace of anyone else. Their expressions couldn't help but change.

"Fellow cultivator Han Li, you … I …" Chen Yang looked at Han Li with a hint of embarrassment and stammered.

"The people from the Puppet City have already left. If you two want to chase after them, go ahead." Han Li said indifferently before ignoring the two of them.

With a sway of his body, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and flew out of the big hole in the wall.

Outside, Han Li looked around and couldn't help but frown.

In the Great Ruins' Secret Realm, the power of his consciousness could not be of much use. He could only carefully investigate the remaining fluctuations in the surroundings to determine where Sha Xin and the rest had gone.

However, too much time had passed, and the traces left in the void were too scattered. He could only pick a rough direction, then he leaped up and chased in that direction.

Right now, his body seemed to be filled with an inexhaustible amount of power. He was still a little unaccustomed to his every movement. He was still unable to freely circulate his strength, and would always inadvertently cause a series of explosive sounds.

With a few leaps and bounds, his figure had already escaped far away.

Along the way, there were still large areas of ruins of buildings, broken fences and broken walls, and full of devastation.

Han Li was thinking about the black-veiled woman called "Little Zi", so he had no time to explore these places. He just chased after them all the way.

Three days later.

Han Li arrived at an abandoned garden that was surrounded by winding corridors. There were many rockeries of various shapes and sizes scattered throughout the garden. The garden was quite spacious.

As he hurried along the garden corridor, he suddenly heard what seemed to be the sound of weapons clashing in front of him, mixed with some rather familiar scolding.

Han Li frowned and suppressed the fluctuations of the power of stars. He didn't jump up, but carefully sneaked over.

Out of the garden, he walked for another ten miles. After passing through a crowded ruin, he came to a huge pit with a diameter of tens of thousands of feet.

He hid behind a bluestone screen wall that looked like it was about to collapse, and looked down.

He saw that in the deep pit, there were continuous sounds of explosions.

A white-clothed woman clad in bone armor held a white bone whip in one hand and a white bone spear in the other. Her body flipped up and down at the bottom of the deep pit. As she twisted her wrist, the bone whip wriggled as if it was a living thing, constantly slashing at a black-armored man who was holding a saber.

Wherever the whip landed, there would be a flash of white light, and there would be a thunderous explosion, causing the void to tremble.

'It really is her …' Han Li inwardly said.

The white-robed woman was none other than Gu Qianxun, and the person fighting with her was the first prince, Shi Zhan Feng.

No one knew when, but he had changed into a set of purple demonic armor, which shone with a purple light. He used the armor to block Gu Qianxun's long whip, completely withstanding the attack. He also held a white bone saber in his hand, and continued to close in on Gu Qianxun.

There were three bloody holes in Gu Qianxun's lower abdomen, and blood had already stained her dress, making her look like plum blossoms blooming in the snow. It was obvious that she was at a disadvantage, and it was only a matter of time before she was defeated.

Han Li shifted his gaze, and saw a woman's corpse lying on the ground not far away from the two of them. She was petite and had a graceful figure, and there was a bloody hole in her chest. It was the charming woman who had followed Shi Zhan Feng previously.

"Clang clang!"

Gu Qianxun's long whip wrapped around Shi Zhan Feng's saber, and the tip of the whip was like a snake's tongue as it pierced towards Shi Zhan Feng's face.

Shi Zhan Feng took a step back, and with a jerk of his saber, the bone whip on the saber tightened.

"Break!"

He let out a roar, and the astral acupoints on the saber in his hand shone brightly, and a tyrannical power of the stars suddenly exploded.

"Bang bang bang …"

A series of explosions sounded, and the white bone whip exploded, scattering in all directions.

Gu Qianxun was struck by the shockwave, and the injury on her lower abdomen worsened, causing her to stagger a step back.

Shi Zhan Feng had already caught up with her saber, and he slashed down at her with great force.

Gu Qianxun's face was pale, and she held her bone spear horizontally, blocking the attack, which clashed with the saber.

A huge force came crashing down, and the black stone floor cracked. Gu Qianxun's knees caved in, and she spat out another mouthful of blood. Her face was pale, and her body trembled.

Shi Zhan Feng flicked her bone spear away, and placed his saber on her neck. With a fierce expression, he said, "Who ordered you to sneak an attack on me?"

Gu Qianxun's eyes were a little dazed, and she glanced at the corpse in the distance, feeling a little pity.

If not for this woman risking her life to block that attack for Shi Zhan Feng, she would have had the chance to kill him.

"If you want to kill me, then kill me. What's the point of asking so much?" Gu Qianxun took a deep breath and said slowly.

"The Thousand Traps Hall is still waiting for me, and I don't have the time to waste with you. Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish." Shi Zhan Feng laughed coldly, and he raised his saber, preparing to slash down at her head.

At this moment, a 'sou' sound pierced through the air.

A fireball shot out, and with a 'clang', it struck Shi Zhan Feng's saber. The strength of the fireball was unimaginable, and it caused Shi Zhan Feng to stumble.

Shi Zhan Feng glanced at the mark on the bone saber, and realised that it was a Stone that had been melted, and it was flowing down the blade of the saber.

He turned his head to look afar, and saw a tall figure holding three to four walnut-sized stones in his hands. He tossed them up and down, and he walked over slowly.

"It's you!" After seeing his face, Shi Zhan Feng's expression changed, and he exclaimed.

"Daoist Li …" Gu Qianxun muttered with a complicated expression.

"Your Highness, I trust you have been well since we last met …" Han Li said with a smile.

Shi Zhan Feng looked at Han Li, and he could not help but squint his eyes. A strange feeling rose in his heart, and he felt that this person in front of him was different from his impression of him.

"Why? Daoist Li wants to interfere in my personal grudge with her?" Shi Zhan Feng frowned and asked.

"I don't know if she has a personal grudge with you, but I still have some matters to discuss with her. Your First Highness, please leave." Han Li did not stop walking, and he said calmly.

"First come, first served, everything should be first served!

After I settle my personal grudge with her, you can have a good talk with her then. "

Shi Zhan Feng sneered, and with a twist of his wrist, his saber became even sharper, and he slashed towards the back of Gu Qianxun's head.

Han Li's eyes flashed, and a bright white light shone from his palm. With a twist of his fingers, the ordinary rocks in his palm instantly turned fiery red.

With a flick of his wrist, a soft sound of thunder could be heard from his palm, followed by the sound of something tearing through the air.

Four fiery red rocks flew out from his hand, turning into four intertwining fiery red arcs. In an instant, they flew in front of Shi Zhan Feng. Two of them flew towards the saber in his hand, while the other two flew towards his dantian and chest.

Shi Zhan Feng was shocked, and he quickly raised the saber in front of him to protect himself.

The two fiery rocks that were aimed at the saber missed, while the other two that were aimed at his body landed on the saber.

Clang!

Two explosions sounded out, and the white bone saber suddenly trembled, smashing into Shi Zhan Feng's chest, causing him to be pushed back nearly a hundred feet. His legs were like ploughs, carving out two deep ravines on the ground.

After stabilizing himself, Shi Zhan Feng glanced at the two obvious cracks on the saber, and his brows furrowed.

"Looks like Dao Friend Li has had a fortuitous encounter in the Great Ruins, how enviable!

Forget it, forget it. Since you insist on saving her, I will give you some face. "Shi Zhan Feng paused for a moment, and his expression returned to normal as he spoke with a smile.

Just as he finished speaking, the white bone saber in his hand broke into two with a 'ka' sound.

His expression was calm as he casually threw away the hilt of the saber. He said, "The mountains are high and the rivers are long. Let's meet again someday." Then, he leaped into the distance and quickly disappeared from sight.

Han Li allowed him to leave, and did not stop him. He turned around and walked towards Gu Qianxun.
