?Chapter 883: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 880 Each Harboring Their Own Schemes Chapter 883: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 880 Each Harboring Their Own Schemes On the day his body was destroyed, the mid Nascent Soul Stage Soaring Tribesman Immortal Master, although a portion of his remaining soul had attached itself to the divided Nascent Soul and escaped, the mature Gold Devouring Bug linked to his mind, having lost its master’s command, was easily captured by Han Li using his second Nascent Soul and sealed within a jade box.


    Han had originally intended to examine the differences between the mature Gold Devouring Bug and his own when he found some free time.


    But now, with his cultivation greatly diminished, he had to deal with the bug as soon as possible.


    Otherwise, if the mature Gold Devouring Bug’s divine abilities far exceeded his expectations and it broke free from the seal, the trouble would be significant.


    With his current level of cultivation, it was highly unlikely that he could recapture the bug.


    At that thought, Han Li took a deep breath and suddenly, with a flip of his palm, several formation flags of various colors appeared in his hand.


    With a light flick of his finger, the flags shot out in all directions.


    A protective shield about ten feet in diameter appeared out of thin air inside the carriage.


    Han Li placed the jade box flat on his knees and slowly closed his eyes.


    A black light flashed above his head, and a dark green Nascent Soul appeared on his heavenly spiritual covering.


    Rubbing his hands together, the dark Yin Sifting Banner appeared in the Nascent Soul’s hands.


    This Devils’ Banner, having been entrusted to his second Nascent Soul from the start for refining and command, had now become his only Daoist paper talisman unaffected by the restrictions of the Five Ghosts Locking God Great Art.


    The Gold Devouring Bug’s body was impervious to fire and water, and immune to sword and spear attacks.


    His only method to obliterate the bug was to use the Pure Demonic Qi in the Ghost Sifting Banner to extract the bug’s Primordial Spirit, then place it into the banner to refine it, transforming it into a driven minion of the Origin Yin Demon Head within the banner.

    The specific method of refinement had already been acquired from the Divine Sense of an elder from the Yin Sifting Sect.


    Needless to say, this process couldn’t possibly be completed in a short amount of time.


    In fact, if it were not for the fact that the Gold Devouring Bug’s master had suffered a great loss to his Primordial Spirit, which in turn nearly killed the bug, Han would not dare have such a notion!


    Against the mature Gold Devouring Bug, he was far from careless.


    Nevertheless, it was for this reason that he had set up the restrictive formations first, fearing any potential mishaps.


    At this moment, the dark green Nascent Soul tossed the small banner onto the top of the jade box, transforming into a foot-wide Devil Cloud that hovered motionless, while the Nascent Soul leaped into the cloud and disappeared without a trace.


    The cloud suddenly descended, enveloping the jade box on his knees.


    From inside the box, the “squeak squeak” sounds of the bug’s chirping could be heard.


    The sound was not loud, but it seemed extremely furious.


    As the Devil Cloud wrapped around the jade box, it began to churn tumultuously, and the chirping from within became sharp and piercing.


    But Han Li remained indifferent, his hands forming Incantations as his figure stayed motionless.


    Within the restrictive formation, he wasn’t worried that the bug’s chirping would alarm the ordinary mortals of the Heron Branch outside.


    All he needed to do was concentrate on extracting the bug’s Primordial Spirit.


    Thus, a difficult refinement began.


    The people of the Heron Branch outside the caravan were greatly interested in this “Cold Immortal Master,” but ever since he had entered the vehicle, he had not come out again.


    They naturally did not get a chance to see him.


    The leader, Ying Lu, had explicitly forbidden these clan members from disturbing the Immortal Master’s cultivation, which greatly disappointed the rest.


    Over the subsequent ten-plus days, whether it was due to the blessing of the Cold Immortal Master or not, they not only found a wild sheep herd in the valley they passed through, providing them with enough game, but for the following half-month, the caravan remained completely untroubled.


    This greatly relieved the on-edge Ying Lu.


    He calculated the distance and figured that in a few days, they would arrive at an extremely safe resting place.


    It was a temporary settlement built rapidly by the Heaventide Sanctuary using mana, specifically for various big and small tribes to gather and rest on their long journey.


    As soon as the Spirit Awakening Day was over, the settlement would be promptly dismantled.


    While Ying Lu was quietly pondering this matter, he suddenly seemed to hear a sound above his head.


    Instinctively, he looked up to see a dazzling white light streak across the sky, with a vague figure within, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.


    The other young people of the Heron Branch stirred uneasily at this sight.


    But the elder furrowed his brows, feeling a bit perplexed.


    Based on his past experiences in sacred battles, these lights were clearly the streaks of light left behind by High-order Immortal Masters flying at a low altitude.


    Such phenomena were rarely seen.


    Usually, high-order Immortal Masters would fly at much higher altitudes, making it difficult for ordinary mortals on the ground to detect them.


    However, if his memory served him correctly, this was already the fourth streak of low-flying light he had seen in the past few days.


    Could something significant have happened recently?


    Had some tribe’s tribute been robbed?


    With some lingering doubts in mind, the old man nevertheless felt more at ease about the journey ahead.


    If these High-order Immortal Masters were on patrol, then they should be safe and without worry for the time being.


    Ying Lu thought this as he looked back and called out loudly to the rest of the caravan, urging them to quicken their pace even more.


    Naturally, the old man was unaware that the white light that had flown over their heads had been darting about the low altitude of the surrounding hundred miles for quite some time without pause.


    In the end, it turned south, empty-handed.


    Soon after, a red streak of light shot diagonally from another direction.


    The two streaks of light collided.


    Their glow receded, and the figures of a man and a woman appeared from within the two streaks of light.


    The man was in his forties, dressed in light yellow leather, with an average and ordinary face.


    The woman appeared to be in her late twenties, clad in emerald green palace attire, and had a somewhat graceful appearance.


    “So it’s Immortal Master Xiu.


    I haven’t found anything on my side.


    What about you?


    Any trace of that person?” The middle-aged man hurriedly greeted the woman with a fist and palm salute, then asked with a smile.


    “Brother Li, do you see me looking like I’ve discovered anything?” The palace-dressed woman had an unfriendly expression and spoke somewhat coldly.


    “Alas!


    In the past few days, I’ve searched all places within two thousand miles of that area and found no traces at all.


    If that person isn’t here, then their concealment technique must be truly exquisite, beyond my ability to discover their whereabouts.


    Do we need to join forces and search again more carefully, even questioning the few tribute-carrying caravans we come across on the way?” The middle-aged man didn’t seem to mind and instead expressed some eagerness.


    “It seems, Immortal Master Li is really tempted by the reward of the ‘Poison Dragon Pill.’ But don’t lose your life over this medicine,” the palace-dressed woman scoffed with a hint of sarcasm.


    “What does that mean?


    Don’t tell me Immortal Master Xiu isn’t tempted?” The middle-aged man was startled and grew somewhat suspicious.


    “Brother Li, when you were assigned the task, what did those high-order Immortal Masters tell you?” Instead of answering directly, the palace-dressed woman inquired calmly.


    “The Grand Sage told me that an outsider Nascent Soul cultivator had intruded into our Heaventide Prairies and seriously wounded a high-grade Immortal Master.


    Therefore, we must capture them alive.


    The opponent has been severely injured by other high-grade hits, so for us Core Formation Stage Immortal Masters, taking down the severely injured would not be a problem,” the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment but honestly revealed what he knew.


    “Hmph!


    Brother Li, because you came a bit late, you know very little.


    If it were me, I would never be so eager to find this foreign cultivator,” the woman said, the corner of her mouth curling up in a sneer.


    “Since Immortal Master Xiu says so, there must be a reason.


    Could you enlighten me on this?” Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man took on a serious expression.


    The palace-dressed woman was silent for a moment before sighing and speaking,


    “Brother Li, we’ve known each other for many years.


    It’s only right that I tell you the truth, so you don’t foolishly lose your life.


    I arrived a bit earlier and heard some accurate news about this foreigner from an elder.


    This outsider is indeed a Nascent Soul cultivator and was indeed seriously injured, but it wasn’t a high-grade Immortal Master who made the move-it was Great Immortal Master Hu himself who personally injured the person.”


    “What, Great Immortal Master Hu took action?” The middle-aged man was greatly shocked.


    “Correct.


    And I heard that the outsider was already surrounded by several high-grade Immortal Masters when Great Immortal Master Hu took a stealthy shot.


    Before that, three high-grade Immortal Masters had already been killed by this person along the way.


    It is said that this person’s divine powers are extremely vicious and deadly.


    Even though they were seriously injured, they still managed to use a secret technique to escape right before Great Immortal Master Hu.


    I believe this foreigner is most likely a cultivator of the same level as Great Immortal Master Hu.


    If that’s the case, even if they were severely injured, it would be a piece of cake for them to kill both of us Core Formation stage cultivators.


    I’m not wagering my life for a couple of Poison Dragon Pills!”


    “Moreover, I think the reason those high-grade Immortal Masters are asking us to find this person is that they probably consider us expendable.


    Didn’t they cast a soul-drawing technique on each of us before we set off?


    Hmph!


    They said it was in case we were in danger, so they could locate us in time.


    Most likely, they want us to flush out the enemy, and as soon as we fall, they’d use us to track down this foreigner.” The woman’s expression turned grim as she explained.


    “Heavens!


    So it’s like that.


    They’re treating us as cannon fodder?


    What should we do?” After listening to the palace-dressed woman’s explanation, the middle-aged man gasped and couldn’t help but become extremely angry and shocked.


    “It’s simple.


    We’ve already searched once, and that should suffice.


    There’s no need to do anything more granular.


    This way, we can report back and avoid too much risk.


    We will just wait quietly for others to possibly find the foreigner.


    If someone else finds him elsewhere, all the better.


    If there’s no news, it doesn’t matter.


    When the Great Immortal Ascension Assembly begins, all Immortal Masters will have to go to the Holy Temple to worship.


    We’ll naturally be called back.” The woman seemed to have considered this already and spoke without hesitation.


    “Let’s do as Immortal Master Xiu suggests.


    The Poison Dragon Pill is nice, but I value my life even more.


    Thank you,” the middle-aged man hesitated slightly before quickly weighing the pros and cons, and spoke decisively.


    “Good!


    In that case, let’s go rest at the nearby Heaventide Sanctuary.


    These past few days, many tribal tribute caravans will be gathering there.


    Maybe we can find what we need first!


    Then, every few days, we’ll do a cursory search just to keep up appearances.” The palace-dressed woman chuckled lightly and suggested.


    The man naturally had no objections.


    Afterward, the two of them transformed back into a red and white rainbow, flying straight toward the south.
