?Chapter 919: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 916 Retreat in Shock Chapter 919: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 916 Retreat in Shock The Lost Soul Sand was indeed no ordinary treasure; to refine such a weapon capable of tainting other’s magical treasures, the yellow-robed large man had secretly killed an unknown number of low-level cultivators, harvested their souls and Primordial Spirits, and used a multitude of rare materials, taking over a hundred years of hard work to finally succeed in its refinement.


    In the past, when they encountered powerful enemies, the two large men simply had to release the sand, and it would almost always come out triumphant.


    Even when facing adversaries of the same rank, this treasure still displayed its mighty divine powers, repeatedly achieving miraculous feats and even creating a significant reputation as “the Elder of the Wild Sands” among the offbeat and unorthodox paths, becoming a famously distinguished senior expert.


    This time, he dared to provoke King Xuan Ye, whose name was illustrious among evildoers because he felt confident, to a certain extent, due to having this treasure.


    But now, having released this sand to join the formation to deal with the unknown cultivator before them, it not only failed to harm the enemy but, in an instant, the opponent’s huge apes swept away quite a bit of it.


    Naturally, this caused the yellow-robed large man great distress, and he dared not continue using the sand fog to assail the opponent.


    Instead, he hastily formed hand seals, pulling back all the black sand near Han Li.


    At the same time, this development made him hesitant, and he couldn’t help but entertain the idea of withdrawing!


    “Brother Wild Sands, didn’t you borrow the Blue Crystal Divine Sand?


    Why not use this treasure against him?


    Although I don’t know what kind of spirit beast that huge ape is, it seems to only counteract vengeful ghosts and ghostly Qi.


    But the Blue Crystal Divine Sand is purely a Daoist treasure, and the opponent definitely won’t be able to withstand it.


    As long as we kill this man, everything can still proceed according to the original plan,” proposed True Lord Tian Feng, an elder with a dark complexion and small eyes on a horse-like face, known for his distinct ugliness.


    For this mission, he had expended a great deal of energy and effort and was on the verge of success; he really didn’t want to come away empty-handed.

    “The Blue Crystal Divine Sand is a magic treasure I begged for with great difficulty to save my life just in case.


    Granny Tian Shi is deeply connected to me, which is why she agreed to lend me some.


    I’ve also repeatedly promised to only use this treasure as a last resort.


    If something were to go wrong, I wouldn’t be able to justify it to her,” said the Elder of the Wild Sands, immediately shaking his head like a rattle drum and rejecting this suggestion outright.


    “But this cultivator’s magic treasures and spirit beast are both exceptionally sharp.


    Without this sand, we simply can’t stand against him; was all our previous effort in vain?


    Other things aside, the Heavenly Corpse Pearl from Old Devil Zenith Yin is a rare treasure for cultivating one’s physical body, crucial for our breakthrough to the next realm!” clamored True Lord Tian Feng, getting anxious upon hearing this.


    “Hmph!


    If the Heavenly Corpse Pearl is important, does that mean the Blue Crystal Divine Sand isn’t?


    This sand isn’t something that can be used over and over; it’s a one-time item.


    Once used up, my bit of Blue Crystal Sand would be gone too.


    And even though Granny Tian Shi has some connection to me, wanting a second portion from her would be out of the question.


    Besides, the divine skills of the person before us are truly unfathomable.


    It’s not guaranteed that the Blue Crystal Sand could defeat him.


    If it were to be broken by the opponent, that would just be adding to our troubles,” huffed the Elder of the Wild Sands, remaining unconvinced.


    “But…” Although True Lord Tian Feng felt that the other party had a point, he was still reluctant and wanted to persuade further.


    However, at that moment, a streak of fire suddenly shot from beyond the heavens, circling above the sand fog before plunging into it and landing in the large yellow-robed man’s hand.


    “This is…” The large man held the Sound Transmission Talisman transformed into firelight, surprised, but then immediately immersed his Divine Sense into it without hesitation.


    In just a short while, a dark cloud descended on his face, and with a single wave of his hand, the flames disappeared without a trace.


    “Let’s go!


    Even using the Blue Crystal Divine Sand now seems to be too late.


    Seven Sons and Three Fiends, those useless fools, have been forcefully broken through by the corpse soldiers driven by Madam Yu Hua.


    They are leading a great number of high-grade spirit corpses this way.


    If we don’t leave now, it’ll be dangerous,” said the Elder of the Wild Sands coldly.


    True Lord Tian Feng was shocked to hear this, finally extinguishing his last glimmer of hope and agreeing helplessly.


    The two men dared not delay, hastily casting spells, causing the black sandstorm to churn wildly before suddenly shooting up into the high sky, congregating into a mass, and then rolling away into the distance, engulfing everything as they fled.


    From beginning to end, the two large men did not show themselves again.


    Han Li stood on the shoulder of the huge ape, his gaze following the departing figures with cold scrutiny.


    He was short on time; if the other party continued to linger, he might have to use the Heavenvoid Cauldron again.


    Last time, he had collected the Spiritual Sand from the Heaventide Saintess without issue, so he ought to have no problems with these sand fogs either.


    But after all, the Heavenvoid Cauldron was a heavenly spiritual treasure.


    Although there should be few cultivators outside the Scattered Stars Sea who were aware of it, he still didn’t wish to use it lightly for all to see.


    Otherwise, if someone were to recognize it by coincidence, that would mean great trouble.


    Even with his Mana reaching to the heavens, he might not have peaceful days ahead.


    “Fellow Daoist possesses extensive divine skills, even capable of breaking the Lost Soul Sand!


    You truly have broadened my horizons.


    This king thanks you for your life-saving grace,” said King Xuan Ye as the yellow-robed men and their sand fog retreated, finally disappearing into the horizon.


    He breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not immediately dissipate the corpse flames surrounding him; instead, he clasped his fists in the light of the fire and addressed Han Li directly.


    Upon hearing this, Han Li’s gaze finally settled on the millennia-old Corpse King.


    The sand fog had dissipated quickly, but the Corpse King’s condition didn’t look too good.


    His Spiritual Energy had significantly weakened, more than halving compared to when he had first revealed his true form.


    “It seems that even for Old Devil Zenith Yin, using his Primordial Corpse Flame in a severely wounded state to defend against the Lost Soul Sand was truly a huge drain on his Qi.”


    Han Li’s gaze was indifferent as he watched Old Devil Zenith Yin without the slightest hint of emotion.


    Even though King Xuan Ye was no ordinary cultivator, having witnessed Han Li unleashing his mighty Divine Skills just moments before, he couldn’t help feeling a chill in his heart and became all the more cautious and alert, fearing that by blocking one attack, he might invite another.


    And the huge ape under Han Li’s command had been standing motionless with its massive eyes half-closed ever since the sand mist had dispersed, as if it were savoring the large amount of black sand it had just ingested.


    At that moment, once King Xuan Ye showed some hostility towards Han Li, the beast, connected to Han Li’s mind, immediately sensed it.


    Its eyes shifted, and it instantly fixed its gaze upon the Millennia-old Corpse King.


    An almost anthropomorphic expression of desire appeared on the beast’s face as its huge mouth opened and closed, making clicking sounds as if it had seen some delectable treat, an expression full of greedy anticipation.


    This gaze made King Xuan Ye, who had once been an ancient emperor, shudder to his very bones.


    He had just seen the ape effortlessly collect the Lost Soul Sand and naturally understood how formidable the huge ape was.


    Even in the presence of such a beast, he felt an instinctive fear in his heart.


    Although it was not powerful, King Xuan Ye secretly lamented his bad luck, sensing that the ape might have some inherent advantage over him, which left him extremely anxious and uneasy.


    “Although the reason I took action this time was due to their own faults, regardless, I did save your life.


    What do you mean by ‘handsome reward’?


    I am quite interested in knowing,” said Han Li, whose expression softened in the midst of the tense atmosphere as he spoke slowly.


    He was by no means a righteous gentleman; moreover, with the backlash of Evil Qi becoming increasingly severe on him, and seeing only this severely wounded Corpse King remaining here, he naturally couldn’t suppress the rising intent to kill.


    After taking a good look at the Corpse King, Han Li felt a similar Corpse Qi from him as from the golden light barrier and, hearing the large man in yellow call him “Brother Xuan Ye,” he had already more or less guessed his identity.


    Meeting this King Xuan Ye, whom Jin Yuan had mentioned, so soon was quite unexpected.


    However, after forcibly exercising Great Development Technique to clear his mind and assessing the time remaining on his seals, as well as the likelihood that the other party might have several desperate secret techniques, in addition to the fact that his Thunderstorm Wings and Celestial Ice Flame Divine Skills had already been revealed and could no longer surprise the opponent, he realized that, even with the help of the Weeping Soul Beast, it was unlikely that he could subdue this Millennia-old Corpse King quickly.


    Thus, after some deliberation, Han Li forcibly suppressed the killing intent in his heart.


    Nonetheless, having saved the Corpse King, he naturally would not pass up the opportunity to gain some advantages and made his demand straightforwardly.


    “Heh heh!


    I am short of many things, but I do have some Spirit Stones and materials on hand.


    If Fellow Daoist doesn’t mind, you could accompany me back, and I will surely make you satisfied,” said King Xuan Ye, upon hearing this, feeling a bit relieved and showing a slight smile.


    “No need for such trouble.


    I see that your golden bead is quite fine, could you part with it as a gift?” Han Li’s gaze lingered on him for a moment before saying so nonchalantly.


    “Are you referring to this item?” Once King Xuan Ye heard these words, his expression darkened.


    But after glancing at the huge ape, which was still eyeing him hungrily, he reluctantly agreed, and with a single cough, he spat out the golden bead from his mouth.


    Han Li nodded indifferently to confirm that it was indeed the item.


    “This is known as the Heavenly Corpse Pearl, something that we Corpse Kings produce after cultivating with the Heavenly Spirit Decision, similar to a Primordial magic treasure.


    Normally, it’s not something I would easily reveal.


    If I’m not mistaken, the two fiends of Fangspear Mountain were probably targeting this item as well.


    However, this bead is of no use to me, so Fellow Daoist can take it!” With a few flickers in his gaze and a sudden laugh, King Xuan Ye pointed at the bead in front of him, and it shot towards Han Li.


    Han Li was surprised but did not stop his movements.


    As he reached for the bead that was shot through the void, a large green hand appeared and grabbed the golden bead in mid-air.


    Old Devil Zenith Yin surprisingly hadn’t tampered with the bead at all!


    Han Li wrapped the bead in a mass of green light, then narrowed his eyes to carefully examine it.


    There was no switch; it was indeed the very same golden bead that Old Devil Zenith Yin had used before.


    His initial request for the item was also with the intention to bargain, but the other party’s straightforwardness instead made him somewhat suspicious!(To Be Continued…
