Chapter 465 – Dark Currents Surge
Seeing this, Yuan Yao’s eyes flickered with autumn waves and said with a light laugh, “What, brother Han doesn’t want this item anymore? Or are you afraid that the Soul Sounding Pearl I gave you is fake?” Her words implied a hint of sarcasm.
Han Li didn’t reply to the other party right away, but instead stared at the bead for a moment before saying, “Whether it’s fake or not, just based on the Yin Soul aura on it, Mister Han would be able to recognize it. It’s just that I really don’t know much about the Crying Soul Beast, so I don’t know if there’s any harm to myself after refining this bead?”
As Han Li said these words, he stared straight at Yuan Yao’s beautiful eyes.
”Harmful? How could it be! If there were truly any problems, how would my youngest daughter personally refine this bead. However, there will be some slight discomfort during the refining process, as long as one endures through it, it will be fine!” Yuan Yao looked as normal and spoke in a light tone.
”Discomfort?” Han Li frowned, gazing at the woman for a moment before looking at the beads again, knowing that there were definitely untruths in what the other party had said, but he really couldn’t see anything unusual right now. After pondering for a moment, he still decided to accept the bead first and slowly study it later. If there is really harmful, at most do not refine this bead is, after all, as long as there is this bead, the same can command that Crying Soul Beast.
After thinking about it, he carefully put this bead into his storage bag.
”Let’s go! During this period of time when we get out of the lava road, I will try my best to preserve Miss Yuan’s life. But let’s get the ugly words out of the way, if we really run into a danger that even Han himself doesn’t have the time to take care of, it’s better for Fellow Daoist Yuan to escape on her own!” After Han Li put away the Soul Sounding Bead, he rushed at Yuan Yao and calmly said. Then he used his finger to point at the Cold Ice Bead floating above his head, and instantly, the shadowy cold aura flourished, instantly covering the other party within it as well.
”This is natural. If we really came across such a thing, Yuan Yao herself would have recognized it. However, the youngest woman believes that with those gold and silver-colored beetles of Brother Han’s, it’s unlikely that such a situation will occur.” The voluptuous woman pursed her lips and smiled after her nose wrinkled. At this moment, her smile was as charming as a flower.
With this kind of beauty present, Han Li also nonchalantly admired it for a few moments before turning around without a word. Seeing this, Yuan Yao smiled and moved her lotus steps lightly, walking a few steps later and walking side by side with Han Li in a very intimate manner.
Because the closer she was to Han Li’s side, the more abundant the chilly cool air emanating from that Cold Ice Pearl would be, she naturally wanted to make herself more comfortable.
”Speaking of which, this time, the Ice and Fire Road is really a bit bizarre! How could there be a black desert, and such a powerful swarm of flying ants that don’t fear the attacks of the magic treasures, and can also spit out black fire to change combinations. If I didn’t happen to have some Green Fire Thunder on me, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have lasted long enough to meet up with Brother Han. But just like that, they even destroyed an ancient treasure of defense.” Yuan Yao grumbled as she walked with a relaxed expression while her apricot lips moved slightly, clearly she didn’t recognize the origin of the Iron Fire Ants.
”The Black Desert hasn’t appeared before?” Upon hearing what this woman said, Han Li was stunned in his heart and couldn’t help but ask in a deep voice. He also felt that it seemed a bit out of place for a spirit insect as powerful as the Iron Fire Ant to appear right here. Aside from those cultivators with special divine abilities and certain powerful magic treasures, it was a toss-up as to whether or not a cultivator at the late JieDan stage would be able to return in one piece after entering the Black Desert.
”No! This Black Desert is the first time it has appeared on the Lava Road. Previously, the cultivators who passed through this level only faced high temperatures and various dangerous terrains, and at most, they met some more inflammatory beasts, and never appeared this kind of weird flying ants. If they knew about the existence of this kind of powerful ant colony, I believe that the number of cultivators who were willing to break through the lava road would definitely be very few. Or most of them would just go home after passing through the Ghost Mist, no cultivator would joke with their own lives.” Yuan Yao seemed to know really quite a lot and returned without hesitation, but the same look of puzzlement spread across her jade face.
”In that case, the Ice and Fire Dao is a bit abnormal!” A hint of contemplation flashed across Han Li’s eyes as he muttered.
……
”Definitely not normal, someone must have moved.” Within a forest of blood-red icicles in the Xuanjing Dao, Qing Yi Jushi looked at the sky with his hands behind his back and said the same thing.
Around him, countless inch-long green awns circled and fluttered up and down around his body, while outside were blackened with hundreds of silver-colored small beasts. These small beasts are similar to rats, not only the fur of the silver light shining, and the head also have a short delicate silver horns, appear small and exquisite.
They surrounded the old man, constantly turned into a silver light, like an arrow with silver horns constantly hit the old man, even issued a thunderous roar, it looks amazing sound. But those green awns in front of the old man, not moving, let the silver light shooting, not the slightest bit of chaos.
”Seek death!” The Confucian-shirted old man seemed to be annoyed by the sound of these strange rats’ attacks. After he lowered his head again, his face was cold, his big sleeve waved outward, at once those green awns burst open, dazzling light illuminated the range of dozens of feet in a circle, so that people could not open their eyes to watch.
A few moments later, the green light dimmed down, the ground is lying full of silver-white beast corpses, each of which is inserted with dense green-colored fine needles, flashing with a ghostly blue cold light.
Qing Yi Jushi’s expression was unchanged, obviously this kind of result was expected by him. He coldly glanced at the ground, then stretched out a withered right hand, gently stroked into the void, and the flying needles on the ground turned into green colored stinging awns again, and flew into his body and disappeared.
”Silver Light Mouse! How could this kind of ghostly thing appear in the second level? Could it be ……” the old man pondered with a gloomy face, standing still.
”Humph! Since the silver light rats have appeared in the Xuanjing Road, it seems that the Lava Road likewise won’t be the same as before, I’m afraid that the kid surnamed Han is in big trouble!” Green Ease Jushi gave a cold snort of chagrin and muttered somewhat anxiously to himself. Afterward, he sighingly swayed his figure a few times, and his person disappeared from the spot.
In the towering blood-colored icicles around, only the corpses of silver-colored small beasts were left all over the ground, appearing a bit bizarre.
……
Somewhere in a lightless place in the Grand Canyon, there were two voices in the darkness, talking unhurriedly.
”Isn’t it a bit too hasty to use the Iron Fire Ant and Silver Light Mouse this time? In the past, although we also moved a bit in the successive treasure explorations, it was still quite stealthy, but this time, the appearance of the Black Desert and the Blood Ice Forest is a bit too blatant, isn’t it? Apart from the few who haven’t passed through these two places, I’m afraid that most of the JieDan stage cultivators from the righteous and devilish paths will be buried here. At that time, when we face the likes of Wan Tianming and Barbarian Beard, I’m afraid we won’t be able to muddle through anymore.” A somewhat worried voice said.
”Muddle! Do you really think that both the righteous and demonic sides don’t know about the tricks they moved in the Void Sky Hall in the past? They already knew it in their hearts, it’s just that our Star Palace was so powerful in the past that they pretended not to know. They also know that we can only manipulate some of the Void Sky Palace’s small prohibitions, not a big threat, just every time we explore the treasure trip, so that the positive devil’s JieDan stage cultivators hang a few more just.” Another chilly voice returned without haste.
”The Black Desert and the Bloodlight Forest are the most powerful prohibitions I can control, and it still feels a bit of a shame to use them just like that. After all, they were mastered by our previous generation of Star Palace Lords after a great deal of effort.” The voice that began leisurely lamented.
”It’s not a pity at all! Right now, rumors are flying all over the place outside, and the two Sacred Lords have reached a critical moment of seclusion, so they can’t be contacted at all, causing the Chaotic Star Sea to be on tenterhooks. It’s our Star Palace’s own inner palace disciples who are a bit unsettled. Palace things, at this time all rely on us a few old guys in the hard to hold on, but the righteous devil two road all stupid to move up, we a few people is very difficult to suppress the situation, alone to face the righteous devil any party we will not be afraid, but I’m afraid that both of them suddenly join hands, this will be bad.”
”The only way now is to first adopt a strong attitude to forcibly weaken the two paths, so that they are suspicious and can’t figure out our true situation. After all, the Star Palace has ruled the Sea of Chaotic Stars for so many years, it’s impossible for them not to have misgivings. As long as we delay some more time, the two Holy Lords will come out of seclusion. At that time, even if they join forces, we can still be free of worry. After all, the madwoman from the Ten Thousand Laws Sect and the Six Paths from the Sacred Demon Island would only be able to retreat three feet in the face of our Saint Lord’s Yuan Magnetic Divine Light.”
”The mobilization of the Iron Fire Ant and Silver Light Mouse prohibitions was also a matter of necessity. Other than these two prohibitions, none of the others can inflict such a great killing power on a JieDan stage cultivator, failing to have the warning effect that they should have, and not reflecting our tough attitude. As for the concern that the other side will take advantage of the trouble, you are even more worrying about the sky, look at their both sides of the situation, nine times out of ten is rushing to the virtual heavenly cauldron to go, the death is not their own disciples, they will not be superfluous! At most, they will sulk in their hearts.”
This voice coldly laughed and uttered a whole bunch of words.
Hearing this, the first voice let out a soft sigh of silence, seemingly recognizing the other party’s judgment.
