?Chapter 916: Volume 6 Heavenly Skill Spirit Treasures Chapter 913 On the Verge Chapter 916: Volume 6 Heavenly Skill Spirit Treasures Chapter 913 On the Verge “Not good!” Han Li inwardly cried out, feeling deeply frustrated.


    He had intended to stay far away from trouble, but trouble had come knocking on his door.


    The three people behind him exuded an extraordinary aura, clearly Sect Masters beyond the Nascent Soul Stage.


    However, the mass of gray energy in front of them fluctuated in strength, looking like someone who had been seriously injured and was being pursued.


    Seeing that he could not avoid the three people behind him, Han Li steeled his heart, and with a flicker of his body, he steered his flying magical tool to the side.


    He wanted to see if this trio, busy in their pursuit, would ignore such a minor Foundation Establishment Cultivator as him and just fly past.


    But just as Han Li’s body had slanted out a dozen yards or so, his streak of light suddenly stopped dead.


    With his expression uncertain, he looked around anxiously.


    By then, the mass of gray energy had already whooshed past Han Li, carrying a Sect Master with a high crown and a bloodless complexion hidden within.


    This Sect Master gave Han Li a cold glance, a trace of surprise flickering in his eyes, before the mass of energy shot away tens of yards in a blink.


    Just then, a sudden rumbling noise came from all around.


    Following that, a yellow gourd over a yard tall suddenly appeared about a hundred yards away.


    With a flick of the gourd’s mouth, a yellow dusty wind fiercely burst out, blowing directly towards the fleeing gray energy mass.


    “Lost Soul Sand!” The person in the gray energy, upon seeing this, was greatly startled and turned sharply to avoid the sandy wind in fear.

    “Ha-ha!


    King Xuan Ye, it’s too late to run now.” Along with the sound of hearty laughter, a yellow-robed large man with a thick beard suddenly appeared on the gourd.


    After forming a spell with his hands, deep yellow sand fog rolled up from all around, quickly filling the sky and obscuring the sun.


    Within it, flags intermittently waved.


    The Sect Master within the gray energy gasped, and quickly glanced downward only to see the same yellow mist at a low altitude, covering several miles around them.


    King Xuan Ye, hiding within the corpse energy, paused his streak of light and glared venomously at the large yellow-robed man on the giant gourd.


    Behind him, a white tornado and a black devil cloud also arrived swiftly, flanking him directly without any courtesy.


    “King Xuan Ye, you had already been hit by Master Song of Taiyang Sect’s Supreme Yang Ruler, and your Heaven Corpse Physique, which is yet to fully mature, must have been seriously damaged.


    Now, cornered by us three, why stubbornly resist?


    Just hand over the Heavenly Corpse Pearl and let us plant some restrictive formations on you, and perhaps we could spare your life.


    After all, it’s been years since King Xuan Ye and us became acquainted.


    It would truly be reluctant to see your soul disperse,” said the yellow-robed man in a calm tone.


    “Hehe…


    Old Sandstorm, I knew it was you.


    From the moment I left the ancient tomb, I felt something was off.


    It seems you have had your eye on me since then.


    It must have taken a long time to plan this trap to lure me out.


    Indeed patient, having watched me for a full ten years.


    With so much meticulous planning, I am not wronged by falling into this trap.


    But do you really think you can trap me with just a Yellow Sand Formation?” Despite the dire situation, King Xuan Ye remained calm, showing no signs of disorder on his face as he said coldly.


    “It seems my earlier words were in vain.


    Don’t blame me for being ruthless, King Xuan Ye!


    However, we really didn’t expect you to carry such an important Heavenly Corpse Pearl on your person.


    Otherwise, we wouldn’t have let you get this far.


    Also, let me tell you something.


    To ensure the success of this plan, I borrowed half a gourd of the Blue Crystal Divine Sand that Granny Tian Shi has been refining for over a hundred years and have already mixed it in the Lost Soul Sand around us.


    If you are hoping to escape using the Earth Escape Skill, that’s simply wishful thinking,” said the yellow-robed man, casually revealing this fact with some hidden agenda.


    “Blue Crystal Divine Sand!


    Granny Tian Shi treasures it as her life, how would she lend you half a gourd!


    You are boasting too much,” scoffed King Xuan Ye, his face changing at first but sneering with disbelief remembering something.


    Hehe…


    Instead of explaining, Old Sandstorm just gave a cold laugh.


    This unexpectedly made King Xuan Ye’s heart shudder and his expression grew even grimmer.


    Strangely, although the three had clearly gained the upper hand and had the Old Devil Zenith Yin trapped, they didn’t take immediate action and only encircled him without moving.


    King Xuan Ye was more than happy with this.


    While escaping earlier, he had already sent out a Sound Transmission Talisman for help.


    Reinforcements were likely to arrive soon, so naturally, it was to his advantage to delay as long as possible.


    Between the four of them, a strange silence ensued.


    But aside from these four, there was a fifth person trapped by the sand-the unwitting Han Li, who had also been wrapped up in the sect-wide formation.


    Han Li, deeply frustrated internally, kept silent on one side, hoping not to attract the attention of the three, so when the fight started later, he could try to break the restrictions and slip away.


    However, his hopes were dashed.


    Suddenly, from the adjacent Devil Cloud, a shrill voice spoke.


    “This youngster is getting in the way here, we’d better deal with him before we proceed with our business.” The Old Devil concealed within the Devil Cloud had set his sights on killing Han Li.


    “Fine, lest you get in the way later!” the yellow-robed large man on the gourd glanced at Han Li emotionlessly and spoke indifferently without the slightest interest.


    Upon hearing this, Han Li felt extreme annoyance in his heart.


    It seemed he would have to utilize his last seal-breaking ability whether he liked it or not, or risk losing his life.


    Truly, he had been caught in an undeserved disaster.


    Just then, a faintly excited shriek emitted from the devil cloud, followed by a gentle rolling of the cloud, signaling an imminent attack on him.


    Han Li hesitated no more.


    He immediately formed a hand incantation and uttered a low spell; a ghostly green face appeared on his visage, rapidly transforming shapes several times before five egg-sized balls of green light shot out from his body, vanishing into thin air instantaneously.


    At this moment, Old Devil Zenith Yin in the opposing cloud had also made his move.


    A small part of the devil cloud condensed and transformed, suddenly morphing into a huge grey python that opened its mouth wide and lunged fiercely at Han Li.


    Neither the large man on the gourd nor Granny Tian Shi, hidden within the hurricane, took any interest in how their companions might brutally slay a mere Foundation Establishment Sect Master.


    However, King Xuan Ye’s eyebrows slightly twitched, revealing a trace of an unusual expression on his face as he witnessed the scene.


    As the huge python reached right above Han Li’s head and bit down, Han Li, without a word, lifted his hand, and a streak of golden lightning shot out, striking directly inside the python’s gaping mouth.


    The python shivered and, after a roll of its massive body, dispersed and vanished.


    Following that, Han Li’s mana circulated slightly on his body, and an astonishingly formidable aura radiated from him, his body shimmering with green light and brimming with spiritual energy.


    “As four Fellow Daoists engage in this battle, carry on as you please.


    Why must you drag Han into it?


    After all, I am merely passing by,” said Han Li, having just dispersed the python and now calmly addressed the old devils without showing any emotion.


    The old devils, including the yellow-robed large man, were greatly startled, their complexions drastically changing as they focused their attention on Han Li.


    They could no longer discern that the Sect Master accidentally trapped in the formation was actually on par with them.


    He had previously hidden his abilities with some secret technique, escaping their notice.


    What could his intentions be?


    Was his presence a coincidence, or had he followed them with other motives?


    The three old devils harbored their own schemes, momentarily frozen in their thoughts.


    King Xuan Ye too was inwardly shaken.


    Although he recognized at a glance that Han Li was the Sect Master who had taken the golden light barrier and must have some techniques, he was equally surprised that Han Li’s true cultivation was so formidable, making his expression uncertain.


    Meanwhile, Han Li swiftly inspected the nearby Yellow Sand restrictive formations with his divine sense.


    Frowning slightly, he realized that the formations possessed some ingeniously hidden aspects; breaking through them forcefully would indeed be a considerable hassle.


    Thinking thus, Han Li calmly spoke to the large man on the gourd:


    “Fellow Daoists should have understood what I just said.


    I will not interfere in your conflicts, but kindly make way and let me out.”


    “I do not know Fellow Daoist’s esteemed surname, nor why you are in the Snow Ridge Mountains,” the yellow-robed large man hesitated before slowly asking.


    “My surname is Han, and I am merely passing through these mountains.


    Fellow Daoist, are you satisfied with this answer?” Han Li’s voice cooled, his patience wearing thin.


    He had only a little time left to unseal and had no time to beat around the bush with the other party.


    “Opening the restrictions and letting Fellow Daoist out may be difficult.


    This Yellow Sand Formation took effort to establish; loosening the restrictions might provide an opportunity for others to escape.


    Perhaps Fellow Daoist could bear with us a moment longer.


    Once we eliminate Old Devil Zenith Yin, we will let you go,” the yellow-robed large man said, his face portraying difficulty, and then added after a slight roll of his eyes.


    “Hehe, if Fellow Daoist Han believes their words, it would truly be a suicidal path.


    If these three kill this king, to keep their own dirty secrets, they will definitely turn on Fellow Daoist next.


    If you are wise, it would be better to join me in breaking the formation.


    My cave dwelling is also very close; if we break the formation and reach there, these people will no longer be a threat!


    I can also swear on my heart demon and will certainly reward you heavily,” King Xuan Ye suddenly said with a solemn expression.


    Han Li’s expression remained unchanged, his eyebrows slightly raising.


    The yellow-robed large man, hearing this, his face suddenly turned ominously dark.


    “Fellow Daoist had better carefully consider the pros and cons before making a decision.


    If you assist this old devil, you will be against us three.


    Don’t blame us for being ruthless and dealing with you as well.


    Weigh the strengths on both sides; within this Yellow Sand Formation, even if you two join forces, you’ll likely face an inevitable defeat and death.


    Surely you don’t want to perish alongside this old ghost?


    My terms are quite simple; just stay here for a short while, do nothing, and you will be safely let go afterward.


    I can also make this poison oath!” the yellow-robed large man said, half threatening and half persuading.
