?Chapter 1069: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 165 Escape Chapter 1069: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 165 Escape However, Han Li only glanced over those two before his gaze fell onto the distant altar, showing a hint of nervousness on his face.
Just now, the Holy Ancestor Yuan Sha used a fraction of his spirit to detonate the Black Wind Banner, clearly targeting the seal.
The space above the altar was shrouded by a large mass of pitch-black thorns.
Although it was not clear what was inside, most of the surrounding pillars were destroyed in the spatial tear.
Only a small portion remained, desolately upright there, obviously, the Array had been thoroughly destroyed.
Under Han Li’s slightly squinting gaze, the black mass of thorns in the distance blinked a few times before rapidly shrinking and then disappeared in a strange manner.
The revealed situation made Han Li’s pupils involuntarily contract.
The altar, originally over a hundred meters tall, was now only fifty or sixty meters high, its upper half seems to have been sliced away by an invisible Sky-supporting Giant Blade, leaving only half of it.
Near the altar were two objects and one person floating.
One person was Xiang salutes, protected by a purple light shield all over his body.
The once blinding light shield now looked precarious, as if it would shatter at a single blow.
Xiang salutes himself was sweating profusely, his face pale, as if he had just gone through some fierce battle.
Of the two objects, one was the Starfall Disk about a foot in diameter, rotating in the air, its surface wrapped in a jelly-like golden light, exuding an air of mystery.
The other object suspended above the altar was a small, dark lump.

Its bizarre shape made Han Li pause, but he soon recognized it-it was the remaining half of the Black Wind Banner.
The majority of this Spiritual Treasure had vanished without a trace in the previous self-destruction.
The remaining part was still flickering with black light, apparently not completely destroyed.
Han Li swept his gaze around and did not see Long Meng and the Black Wolf’s figures.
He was feeling greatly astonished when suddenly the Starfall Disk moved, spraying out a stream of golden light from its center.
An elegant figure appeared with this golden light, who was none other than Long Meng herself, coldly staring at the Black Wind Banner.
Almost simultaneously, the remaining half of the Black Wind Banner underwent a strange change as well, as a surge of black Qi violently erupted from it and then condensed into a two-headed Black Wolf several feet in size.
Its fur was dull and its four eyes lifeless.
Upon seeing this wolf, Xiang salutes’ face darkened, and after taking several deep breaths, his originally pale complexion instantly brightened.
Without another word, he raised his hand and pointed two fingers at the wolf.
With two soft “pu pu” sounds, a golden and a red sword light shot out from his fingertips.
As soon as they left his hand, they transformed into a giant sword light tens of meters long, like two dragons from beyond the heavens, intersecting and slashing directly towards the Black Wolf.
Xiang salutes was indeed quick-witted.
Even though he didn’t know what had just happened, it was clear that the creature enveloped in Demonic Qi was definitely a devil suppressed by the Demon Suppression Tower.
Naturally, he needed to take the initiative while the opponent was extremely weak.
The Black Wolf’s face showed anger, and both of its heads erupted with black beams of light, resisting the giant sword light.
Upon contact, it immediately became obvious that the wolf was overpowered, signaling it was nearly depleted of Demonic Qi from its prior detonation of the Black Wind Banner.
However, the wolf was not alarmed; instead, it cast a chilling glance towards the altar below and suddenly let out a piercing howl.
Han Li, who was far away, showed a trace of surprise because an unbelievable scene unfolded.
The dozens of meters tall altar shattered instantly, as if made of beach sand, disintegrating into nothingness under the howl.
Almost at the same time, streaks of ink-like black Demonic Qi burst forth from the ruins of the altar, quickly spreading throughout the entire space.
“Not good, the seal has been opened,” cried out the Ten Thousand-Year Corpse Bear in great alarm.
Upon seeing this, Long Meng’s expression suddenly darkened.
Although Xiang salutes was not clear about what had happened before, seeing so much Demonic Qi gushing from below, he seemed to immediately recall something, his complexion becoming extremely ugly.
Seeing so much Demonic Qi emerge, the corners of Han Li’s mouth twitched, and without a word, he pointed towards the sky.
The golden sword floating above his head hummed and transformed into a golden rainbow, striking towards the nearby barrier.
After a series of rumble sounds, dazzling golden light exploded on the barrier, but was soon followed by countless crimson arrows densely attacking it, as the Humanoid Puppet held the Thunder Fire Bow releasing a sky full of fiery arrows.
In an instant, the entire barrier trembled slightly, but it was clearly far from being broken.
Han Li’s face was as still as water, and with a flip of his hand, the Three Flame Fan appeared in his palm.
But before he could take a deep breath to wave the fan, a blinding slash of blood light and two crescent-shaped daggers flew out at the same time, striking the barrier.
Han Li was startled as he glanced over, only to see that the Ten Thousand-Year Corpse Bear and Lin Yinping had also approached nearby, anxiously attacking the barrier.
It seemed they were also well aware that if they could not break the barrier and escape promptly, they would definitely not be able to withstand the erosion of the Demonic Qi.
Whether they sought to ascend to the spirit realm with the help of Long Meng’s power or harbored grand desires for the spirit treasures, preserving their lives naturally took precedence.
Han Li said nothing.
Under the bright light emanating from the Three Flame Fan in his hand, a Tri-Color Fire Bird flew out with a long cry and fiercely struck the barrier.
In the next moment, a tri-colored halo emerged, and amidst the flashing of various colored runes, the barrier emitted a deafening rumble and began to distort and warp.
Attacks from the other treasures naturally became even more ferocious!
As the barrier twisted to its limits under the onslaught of various attacks, it still did not collapse and break apart.
Han Li’s expression darkened as he quickly took out a jade bottle and consumed Spiritual Liquid to restore his mana while urgently thinking about deploying other offensive methods.
Just then, a flash of yellow streaked by and with the light receding, a yellow talisman attached itself to the barrier.
Instantly, a layer of yellow light swiftly covered the barrier.
Han Li was stunned, not yet understanding what was happening, when a group of blinding golden light wrapped around something shot down like a meteor from the sky.
A strange beast enveloped in layers of golden flames appeared with a flash near the barrier.
The space directly in front of the barrier shook violently and, just like that, it shattered, revealing a hole that admitted several streaks of white light.
Overjoyed and without thinking, Han Li’s figure moved, instantly transformed into a brilliant rainbow, and shot straight through the hole.
The Humanoid Puppet also disappeared in a flash from its original spot.
As everything brightened, Han Li appeared in a large hall that felt somewhat familiar.
Several streaks of light almost immediately followed Han Li and spiraled down in the air before revealing their forms.
Aside from the Ten Thousand-Year Corpse Bear and Lin Yinping, another person turned out to be Xiang salutes, who had just reached out near the altar.
And this hall was unexpectedly the seventh floor of the Demon Suppression Tower!
Han Li looked at Xiang salutes with some surprise, but the latter just gave Han Li a Hehe smirk, seemingly about to say something.
But at that moment, a golden column of light sprayed directly out from the barrier, then converged into a large luminous sphere.
With a flash, a silver-haired woman holding the Starfall Disk appeared within the light sphere.
The mouth of Xiang salutes, which was open, immediately shut, swallowing the words that were about to leave his lips.
The hole in the barrier was rapidly closing and, in a blink of an eye, it healed and disappeared.
A few people in the hall fell silent, casting wary glances at each other, and for a moment looked at each other in bewilderment.
“Hmph, if you all keep dawdling here, once that demon absorbs enough demonic Qi, all of us will be left with only one path-death,” said Long Meng with a cold gaze sweeping over Han Li and Xiang salutes before she spoke first.
“Are you Elder Long Meng?” Xiang salutes hesitated for a moment, asking with some uncertainty.
After all, the one who had trapped him in the Wonderful Illusory Celestial Phenomenon was a new soul formed from the fusion of Long Meng and the Demon Soul, which naturally felt quite different from Long Meng.
“You seem to know quite a bit.
Are the Three Elders of Kunwu responsible for leaving some messages for you?
However, that so-called ‘Long Meng’ is only a part of me,” said Long Meng unapologetically.
Such a complex relationship naturally made Xiang salutes blink his eyes, somewhat confused for a moment.
Long Meng frowned slightly, but still transmitted a few words with her lips barely moving.
After just a few sentences, Xiang salutes was first shocked, then realized what she meant, and his eyes urgently re-examined Long Meng.
After confirming with his Divine Sense that the silver-haired woman before him indeed did not have a trace of Demonic Qi, he relaxed his expression rapidly and urgently cupped his fist in a salute, saying:
“Congratulations to Royal Consort Long Meng for escaping the predicament today.
Regarding your matter, the Three Elders indeed left some guidance for us juniors.
At that time, they were left with no other choice.
After all, back then, Celestial Ni Chang’s Primordial Spirit had fused with the Demon Soul.
They really dared not let Celestial Ni Chang leave just like that.”
“Hmph, we will talk about this once I return to the spirit realm.
For now, think about how to control the Demonic Qi.
If my body is soaked in true devilish Qi for more than three days, it will be completely solidified into a demonized body.
By then, once this demon recovers its original Divine Skills and with the endless Demonic Qi from the altar, creating another grand army of Devils will not be that difficult once it leaves this place.
The human world will also see the return of the ancient chaotic scenes of war,” Long Meng said coldly.
“Royal Consort, even without your reminder, I am somewhat aware of this.
Not to mention the terror of true devilish Qi, just the demon’s recovery to its previous astonishing cultivation level would make it so that probably no one in the human world could restrain it.
But now, the ninth floor is already filled with Demonic Qi, and even if we wanted to take advantage of its weakness to kill it, I fear we do not have the ability to do so.
With the Demonic Qi continuously replenishing the demon, as long as it purposely avoids us, the two of us would have no choice but to retreat again.
Moreover, the Realmbreaker Talisman I got from Taiyi Sect is also down to the last two,” said Xiang salutes, rubbing his hands together with a bitter smile.
The silver-haired woman listened to his words, knowing that what he said was the truth, and couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.
“Since that’s the case, can’t we re-seal the Demonic Qi?” Lin Yinping, who had been listening, couldn’t help but speak up.
“It’s not as easy as you think.
The original Sealing Formation has been destroyed, and the Dragon Transformation Seal that could control the restrictive formations of Kunwu Mountain was also shattered by the demon with a single slap when I left.
Otherwise, if we could have obtained that Magic Artifact, it would have been possible to activate an alternative array to suppress the Demonic Qi again.
But now…” Xiang salutes shook his head and sighed.
At this word, the hall once again fell silent.
“Since there is an alternative array, the wisdom of the ancient experts wouldn’t really only have the Dragon Transformation Seal as the controlling artifact, right?” Han Li, who had been silent, calmly spoke up.
