    Daoist Sun came quite swiftly, it’s just a pity you found the wrong person.


    I merely chased after a demon beast, which led me to this mountain range by mistake.


    I too witnessed the commotion caused by the low-grade demon beast just now and likewise wished to find this person,” the masked cultivator chuckled dryly, speaking with evident apprehension.


    “Hmph!


    Pursuing a demon beast?


    Do you take me for a senile old woman, Fellow Daoist Ma?


    You, a cultivator in the mid Nascent Soul Stage, known throughout Great Jin for your Escape Technique, would allow some demon beast to run into our Tianyue Mountain Range?


    Besides, I have already searched hundreds of miles around and, apart from you, I truly have found no other cultivator capable of doing this,” the old crone’s face emanated a layer of purple light as she spoke threateningly.


    “What has happened?


    Has the commotion caused by the demon beast just now resulted in any damage to Yueyang Palace?


    I respect that you are a late Nascent Soul cultivator and have thus spoken to you politely.


    But are you trying to wrongly accuse Fellow Daoist Ma?


    Although I may not be your match, within our Sect, there are not just one or two disciples who know I entered the Tianyue Mountain Range.

    Moreover, if Fellow Daoist Ma were to fight to the death, I should not be completely devoid of the power to strike back.


    Unless you have the intention of reigniting a great war between the righteous and demonic paths!” The golden light dazzled in the eyes of the masked cultivator, who, contrary to his earlier fear, suddenly toughened up.


    Seeing the masked cultivator’s actions, the old woman’s eyes narrowed slightly.


    “Really, it wasn’t you who did it?” she asked coldly after a while.


    “If Daoist Sun thinks it is necessary, I, Fellow Daoist Ma, can swear on the Heart Demon!


    From just now until this moment, I truly do not know what has happened in your Palace,” the masked cultivator sighed in relief upon hearing her words and lowered his stance somewhat, showing flexibility.


    “No need for any poisonous oaths, Fellow Daoist.


    It is probably true that it wasn’t you.


    Given your status within your Sect, I can hardly imagine you doing something so beneath your dignity.


    Furthermore, I haven’t heard that Fellow Daoist Ma possesses the Divine Skill to summon demon beasts.


    However, it must be no ordinary beast that has led Daoist Brother to our Tianyue Mountain Range.


    May I be enlightened as to its nature?” The old crone’s demeanor softened, and her tone became a few degrees more cordial.


    “This demon beast is indeed very rare.


    It likely holds no less importance to me than the Haoyang Bird does to your Palace.


    It’s an Earth Armor Dragon that has just advanced to the seventh grade.


    I found it at Mount Huangli in the neighboring city, but the creature is exceptionally crafty and also adept at the Earth Escape Skill.


    I chased it for six days and nights and only caught up to it here.


    That’s why I didn’t manage to inform your palace before charging in,” the masked cultivator spoke candidly, knowing he needed to disclose some information to truly dispel her doubts.


    “A seventh grade Earth Armor Dragon?


    That is indeed a rare kind of demon beast; I’ve never even heard of one so advanced.


    No wonder Fellow Daoist Ma is desperate.


    You seem poised to leave; have you already captured it?


    I’ve only heard of this beast by name and have yet to truly see one.


    Could Fellow Daoist allow me to broaden my horizons?” the old woman exclaimed with interest after her surprise.


    “That, I’m afraid, might disappoint Fellow Daoist Ma.


    When the commotion occurred just now, my secret technique suddenly failed, and thus I lost the beast’s trail.


    But…” the masked cultivator began.


    “But what?” the old crone asked sharply, her eyes flashing.


    “But while searching for the beast, I suddenly saw a streak of green light shoot across the sky at an incredible speed that didn’t seem to be from a cultivator of your palace.


    I assume the anomaly in the mountains just now must be related to this person.


    I had just decided to catch up and find out who this exalted individual could be.


    Regrettably, this person’s escape light was too fast, and after only a moment, they shook me off completely.


    And at that moment, I was stopped by Daoist Sun,” the masked cultivator said with a wry smile and a hint of helplessness.


    “A streak of green light?


    That means this person has not left long ago!


    Where did they escape to?” the old crone pressed eagerly.


    “They headed in the direction out of the mountain range.


    With your divine abilities, you might still be able to catch up to this person!” the masked cultivator replied, his eyes darting subtly as he spoke nonchalantly.


    “Thank you for the tip, Fellow Daoist Ma.


    I shall go take a look immediately.


    Since the Earth Armor Dragon has gone missing, it would be best if Fellow Daoist also leaves the area.


    Our paths of righteous and demonic are different, and this is not your Demon Wood Cliff.


    When I return, I hope not to find Fellow Daoist still lingering in the mountains,” having obtained the clue she sought, the old crone spoke words meant to dismiss him.


    Without further discussion, she transformed into a golden rainbow and shot towards the edge of the mountain range.


    “Hmph!


    The old witch indeed is as difficult to deal with as the rumors say, turning on me once she got the information she wanted.


    ‘The righteous and the demonic are different,’ she says, but it’s only because she wants to take possession of the Earth Armor Dragon for herself.


    Hehe, if my senses aren’t wrong, the disappearance of that Earth Armor Dragon should have something to do with that green light.


    That streak of light was not slower than a late Nascent Soul cultivator, catching up to that person is easier said than done.


    Given her agitated appearance upon arriving, it seems someone has caused a significant loss to Yueyang Palace, and that’s somewhat comforting,” the masked cultivator muttered to himself with a cold laugh once the streak of golden light had vanished.


    He then looked down briefly, his gaze lingering on a spirit beast pouch at his waist, and a faint hint of joy flickered in his eyes.


    “Although I didn’t get the Earth Armor Dragon this time, I did catch a Black Blood Spider, so it wasn’t a wasted trip.


    The Earth Armor Dragon has just become someone else’s gain.


    I wonder how they managed to drive the demon beast so mad,” the masked cultivator expressed frustration, then began to ponder deeply.


    “No, this is serious; someone has a way to lure demon beasts.


    I must return and report to Martial Senior Mu immediately,” he suddenly raised his head, murmuring to himself.


    After scanning his surroundings, his body shone with green light, transforming into a streak of green light that shot into the sky and disappeared.


    Meanwhile, the old woman named Sun flew non-stop for half a day, scouring tens of thousands of miles with her Divine Sense, but failed to find any suspicious individuals.


    With no choice left, she returned to Yueyang Palace and strictly ordered the disciples who were aware of the incident not to spread it; otherwise, if other large sects found out, it would become the laughingstock of the Great Jin realm of immortal cultivators.


    Fortunately, whoever had targeted the Haoyang Bird had only taken its feathers and not killed the spiritual bird for its pill.


    With sufficient panaceas and spirit pills, the Haoyang Bird would recover its Qi in a few decades.


    So the old woman can only seethe with this thankless loss, burying it deeply within herself.


    Yet privately, she dispatched a small part of her elite disciples to quietly inquire if any major powers or old eccentrics beyond the Nascent Soul stage were in need of having a Spiritual Treasure crafted, hoping to follow the vines and find the culprit.


    She wanted to find this person not only because she was utterly infuriated by the incident with the spiritual bird but also because she wanted to glimpse the methods capable of luring demon beasts.


    If she could master this technique, hunting demons for their spirit pills or taming spiritual beasts would become much simpler.


    Of course, she wasn’t the only one with such thoughts.


    Almost simultaneously, Demon Wood Sect, a power of equal reputation to Yueyang Palace, had also secretly sent out many disciples to discreetly investigate if there had been any high-level cultivators from other regions appearing in Long State recently, particularly those with unfamiliar faces.


    The covert actions of Long State’s two major powers unsettled some smaller sects and wealthy families who prided themselves on being perceptive.


    They speculated anxiously whether the balance in Long State was about to be disrupted-were Yueyang Palace and Demon Wood Sect going to go to war?


    As these smaller powers panicked, they formed alliances and shrank their activities, causing the atmosphere of the entire Long State region to become tense.


    Han Li had no idea that his actions had caused such a stir.


    At the moment, he was staying inside a stone chamber that had been hastily carved out within a nameless desert mountain.


    Inside the chamber, he was examining his spoils of war-a hand full of fantastical, flaming long feathers-while chatting with Monarch Great Development.


    “The old woman who chased after me at the end must have been that late Nascent Soul stage great cultivator from Yueyang Palace.


    Her cultivation was indeed extraordinary.


    However, her Divine Sense was quite ordinary and failed to notice you, refining your Qi and concealing your breath.


    Otherwise, you would have been in real trouble,” Monarch Great Development said in a relaxed tone, teasing Han Li.


    “Hehe!


    Worse comes to worst, I would’ve just used Bloodshadow Evasion again.


    I refuse to believe that there’s another sacred sect protecting beast’s disciple in the upper realm that I would happen to run into by chance.


    But there was nothing I could do.


    I don’t know what Escape Technique that old crone was cultivating, but even though I’m fast, I’m still a notch slower than her.


    I had to hide first,” Han Li said with a chuckle.


    “That’s true.


    Although this trip involved some risk, the rewards are quite good.


    Not only did you obtain so many fire feathers, but you also captured a rare Earth Armor Dragon.


    If you can tame it, searching for extraordinary natural treasures will become quite promising,” Monarch Great Development said contentedly.


    “That’s true, but an adult demon beast that hasn’t recognized a master won’t be easy to tame.


    Whether it will succeed or not will depend on fortune,” Han Li said, equally delighted but aware of the challenges.


    “No worries, taming an adult demon beast isn’t as difficult as you might think-especially if the demon beast is spiritually wise, the easier it is to subdue,” Monarch Great Development stated with apparent experience, nonchalantly.


    “Oh, is that so!” Han Li raised his eyebrows, showing a trace of surprise on his face.


    “You’ll see in time.


    I believe this Earth Armor Dragon is quite intelligent, so it shouldn’t be too hard to tame.”


    “Let’s hope so.


    But it’s best to break in its will first.


    We’ll discuss this matter further when we have more time.


    Right now, I need to deal with these fire feathers briefly.


    Then I’ll head to the Jingjing City Auction to see what this place, known as the foremost city of Great Jin, is really like,” Han Li said thoughtfully.


    “I’ve also been to Jinjing once.


    Even though it’s a city of ordinary mortals, it was rather extraordinary and impressive,” Monarch Great Development praised, a rarity for him.


    “Hearing your words makes me even more curious.


    Fortunately, it’s not too far from here to Jinjing.


    Give me one day to finish processing the materials, and I’ll be on my way.


    Three months is more than enough,” Han Li calmly stated.


    Then a flash of green light in his hand, and suddenly there was only one fire feather left; the rest had vanished without a trace.


    Han Li tossed the fire feather into the air, opened his mouth, and a puff of hazy Nascent flames enveloped the fire feather, igniting the innate crimson flame within.


    Instantly, the feather shimmered green on the outside and red on the inside, a dazzling display!


    Han Li himself sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and formed hand seals, entering a state of meditation.
