Chapter 498 – It’s Hard to Tell the True from the False

　　”No wonder a spirit spring was placed here, so it was to nourish this wood. I want the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Milk, but I am equally curious about this Soul Nourishing Wood.” Han Li looked at Yuan Yao and said slowly.

　　As soon as these words came out, Yuan Yao’s complexion “swished” and turned cold.

　　”Don’t worry, after so many years of nourishment, the size of this wood must not be small, I only need a small section of the root, I won’t compete with Miss Yuan for the most important trunk.” Seeing this woman’s expression, Han Li said with a slight smile.

　　”Just the root?” Yuan Yao was first stunned, then her expression eased, but a hint of skepticism still appeared in her beautiful eyes.

　　”Of course, as compensation. The ten-thousand year spirit milk that Miss Yuan promised just now, I still have to get it.” Han Li’s face slumped again as he spoke.

　　”Hee hee! Fellow Daoist Han is really good at calculating. I think that there must be many sects willing to pay large sums of money to acquire that Soul Nurturing Wood’s root from Brother Han. However, this matter is promised by this girl.” After a slight turn of Yuan Yao’s eyes, she thought she had guessed Han Li’s mind and burst into a floral twig trembling with a delicate laugh.

　　But in doing so, she seemed to be relieved instead.

　　Han Li smiled faintly and didn’t explain anything further.

　　”Alright then, let’s break the formation. I’ll first give you some of my earlier insights on breaking formations.” Yuan Yao immediately said with a smile. It looked as if she was even more anxious than Han Li.

　　”Don’t get busy first, this spirit spring, doesn’t Miss Yuan want to take it?” Han Li pointed at the pool and asked with a smile.

　　”Brother Han is joking? This spirit spring has long been connected to the entire inner sanctum by the master of the Void Sky Hall, using a profound prohibition. If I had such great aptitude, I would have gone straight to collect that Void Sky Cauldron long ago, so why bother harboring it here.” Yuan Yao said in a petulant voice.

　　Hearing this, Han Li revealed a hint of disappointment, but on second thought, he was dumbfounded.

　　He had become seemingly a bit too greedy, and as soon as he saw a treasure, he immediately rose to the idea of taking it for himself. This was not a good sign. He didn’t want to end up in a situation where people died for wealth and birds died for food.

　　Thinking of this, after Han Li secretly warned himself, he stopped mentioning this matter instead and said in a deep voice, “Fellow Daoist Yuan will first hand over the spirit milk to me, and then talk about the formation, so if the two of us combine our efforts, we’ll definitely be able to break this formation in less than two or three days.”

　　Hearing this, Yuan Yao smiled sweetly at Han Li, and suddenly had an intimidating, charming appearance!

　　A white light flickered on the surface of the sea, and then the figures of a pair of men and women appeared there out of thin air, surrounded by light.

　　The male looks ordinary, in addition to a pair of eyes clearer, without any outstanding features. The woman’s figure is slender, delicate as a flower, between the flow of bright eyes, hidden infinite flavor implicit in it. Once these two people appeared above the sea, both alert and abnormal looking around, see no other cultivators here, only then are relieved look.

　　They were none other than Han Li and Yuan Yao, who had been teleported out after breaking the formation in the secret room.

　　”It seems that the others are still trapped within the Void Sky Hall and won’t be able to come out until it’s time.” Yuan Yao said as she took a look at the direction where the Void Sky Cauldron was located, a strange light flickering in her beautiful eyes.

　　”Those YuanYing stage old monsters, will they be teleported out after fetching the treasure just like us.” Han Li, however, did not take it lightly and said with a frown.

　　”Don’t worry about it, the place where they are teleported out after fetching the treasure is random, it could be right near the Void Sky Hall, or it could be hundreds of miles away, it’s impossible for anyone to monitor such a vast range at the same time.” Yuan Yao said softly as she swiped her green silk without a second thought.

　　”That’s good!” Han Li nodded with a sense of peace in his heart.

　　”What? Could it be that Brother Han has offended those old monsters? If that’s the case, Fellow Daoist Han really needs to be careful.” Yuan Yao asked with a hint of a tentative tone as autumn waves flowed in her beautiful eyes.

　　”I don’t need Fellow Daoist Yuan to worry about this. I still have important matters to attend to, so I’ll take my first step.” Han Li rushed Yuan Yao with a pale expression and clasped his fists. Then without waiting for the other party to say something, he transformed into a green rainbow and flew away without any hesitation, without the slightest intention to linger.

　　Yuan Yao looked at Han Li’s vanishing light, a trace of oddness appearing on her face. Only after a long time did she lightly shake her head, and after a flash of black light on her hand, a foot-long piece of strange wood appeared.

　　The appearance of this wood was scorched black and rough, pitted, really ugly. However, when Yuan Yao looked at this wood, a trace of sentimentality rose on her face.

　　”Sister Yan, you should bear with it for a while, I will find someone to use this wood to refine it into a Soul Hiding Box, so that you can completely get rid of the pain of soul refining.” After this woman whispered these words, she no longer hesitated to cover her head with a black robe, covering that amazingly beautiful face. Then Yuan Yao also turned into a ball of black gas and shot off in another direction.

　　In the blink of an eye, the sea was silent again.

　　At the same time, on the high platform on the fifth floor of the Inner Hall of the Void Sky Hall, there were several people standing there with gloomy faces. Everyone of them looked unsightly, it was the Extreme Yin Ancestor and a group of positive devil YuanYing stage cultivators, while Barbarian Beard was also coldly standing among them. I don’t know what agreement had been reached, but no one was actually striking out at him anymore.

　　”We’ve teamed up and searched all the corners of the third to fifth floors of the inner hall. The number of restrictions broken and puppets destroyed alone are countless, but we still haven’t found them. Extreme Yin! Two of the three missing people have a lot to do with you, so you really didn’t order them to abscond with the treasure?” Wan Tianming said with an iron-clad face.

　　”Hmph! Sect Master Wan, you’ve asked this question several times. I have already told you that Mister Wu’s beloved grandson has suffered an untimely death, this is what I have personally detected with my secret technique, and it will never be wrong. If it wasn’t for this Big Dipper Shield obscuring all of my senses, this Ancestor Master should have been able to know the moment my youngest grandson’s body died, and wouldn’t have allowed those two brats to take advantage of the opportunity to abscond with their treasures.” The Extreme Yin Ancestor’s face twitched and his face twisted as he said.

　　”Speaking of which, I feel that Brother Barbarian is the most suspicious. Why did it happen that the Void Heavenly Cauldron was taken during the period of time that Brother Barbarian lured us all out. Brother Barbarian has also been unwilling to give a clear account of that descendant’s origins, could it be that he colluded with that brat beforehand.” The Extreme Yin Ancestor’s words turned, suddenly staring at Barbarian Beard’s voice grimly said.

　　”Joke, Barbarian a certain person to confide in you what? It’s that the Void Heavenly Cauldron was taken true and what does that kid have to do with it, and what do I have to do with it? I was being chased by all of you fleeing, it is not so that the treasure tripod fell into the hands of the next! You claimed that Wu Chou is dead, who knows if it’s true or not? Maybe he is full of joy!” Barbarian beard two eyes glared, nonchalantly sneered back.

　　”You ……” The Extreme Yin Ancestor was furious as soon as he heard this. Love grandchildren have died tragically, they also have to carry such a big black pot, this is the extreme Yin ancestor said what can not be accepted, at once his face appeared angry face of a mouth, to argue again what.

　　But the side of the Confucian shirt old man, but at this time open mouth to persuade up: ”Barbarian brother and brother Wu do not have to start what quarrel? The one who took the treasure doesn’t care is these three people. As for who among them, what does it have to do with us? This is all secondary. The most important thing right now is to find these three regardless of whether they are alive or dead. When we chased after the Barbarian Brother, we chased them all the way to the entrance of the third floor. It’s impossible for them to escape below the third level even if their movements were faster. And now that we have combined our efforts to lay down several formations at the entrance to the third floor, it is impossible for them to take advantage of the opportunity to escape. As for teleporting out of the secret room, that is even more impossible. You have to know that they are only early stage JieDan cultivators, and even if the three of them joined forces, they would never be able to pass through any of the secret rooms on the third floor or above. Unless they’re really dazed and want to commit suicide as an exception.” The Confucian-shirted old man analyzed with a calm expression.

　　”However, we all searched the third to fifth floors. There was no trace of them at all.” Wan Tianming said coldly, his face filled with skepticism.

　　In fact, he was not the only one, the three of them from the Righteous Dao were all half-doubting each other.

　　They had long since secretly discussed several times through voice transmission, and they all felt that it was likely that the three old devils had teamed up to put on a good show, intentionally luring them away before allowing their juniors to take out the Void Heaven Cauldron. Therefore, Wan Tian Ming three people on the one hand heart remorseful, on the one hand, eyeing the extreme Yin and other people’s moves, absolutely refused to leave the old devil a few people in the Void Heaven Palace half a step.

　　Extreme Yin and the Confucian-shirted old man naturally saw the thoughts of Wan Tianming’s righteous people. However, they were equally anxious and couldn’t care less about this matter. They only wanted to quickly find Han Li and the Xuan Bones and retrieve the Void Sky Cauldron.

　　A cadre of YuanYing stage cultivators had fought and battled in this inner hall, only to have the treasure stolen by a Jiedan stage cultivator. If the rumor got out, these people would have a lot of fun! Moreover, how could they be willing to let the Void Sky Cauldron really fall into the hands of Han Li and the others.

　　Barbarian Beard was similarly surprised, as Xuan Bone’s actions seemed a bit different from what had been agreed upon beforehand. Could it be that he really rolled up the tripod and fled! If an ordinary JieDan stage cultivator, perhaps unable to get past the three-layer chamber’s prohibitions, but if it was XuanBone who had changed to the Ghost Dao, it was hard to say.

　　Although the heart of the doubts, savage beard face is not half, but because of other thoughts, he stored in his heart must be to muddy the water of the idea, so savage beard also coldly spoke: “You say, will not be the Star Palace of the two old guys and did not go, has been hidden in the vicinity, see us all chased out, and only then out of the three, and then the imaginary heavenly tripods! and then took the Void Sky Cauldron away!”

　　Upon hearing this from Barbarian Beard, the others looked at each other for a while, but then they all revealed a few thoughtful looks.
