?Chapter 1080: Volume 6 Spiritual Treasures Chapter 1076 Ice City Chapter 1080: Volume 6 Spiritual Treasures Chapter 1076 Ice City “Are these people your companions?” Han Li finished examining the disk in his hand, a flash of green light put it away, and then glanced at a few people behind him, somewhat unexpectedly asked a question.
“These fellow Daoists are acquaintances I met not long ago, and because we all wanted to join the Minor Extreme Palace, we traveled together.
What, is there something wrong?” Gu Tianqi was startled and became somewhat uneasy.
“It’s not that something is wrong, but that one among them is.” Han Li stared at a beautiful young female cultivator below him and coldly smiled.
“What?” Gu Tianqi was still somewhat confused.
“One demon is mixed among you, isn’t that inappropriate?” Han Li’s mouth curled up as he spoke indifferently.
“A demon?” Upon hearing this, the color drained from Gu Tianqi’s face, and he hurriedly glanced at the female cultivator.
The other cultivators were also startled, subconsciously taking a few steps away from the woman, all showing shocked expressions.
“Senior must be joking, this junior is a disciple of the Ning Family from Shuang County, how could I be a demon.” The young woman widened her eyes, also startled by these words, and hurriedly stammered out an explanation.
“Yes, senior!
Could you be mistaken?
Friend Ning indeed comes from the Ning Family; I have seen her several times.” The young man who had taken the medicinal pills before, seeing the young female cultivator look terrified, couldn’t help but speak up in her defense.
The others also couldn’t help but show hesitation.
But Han Li gave a light snort as if he hadn’t heard:

Come out!”
As these words fell, Han Li reached out into the void with one hand, and a flash of spiritual light appeared above the young female cultivator’s head, revealing a great green hand that swiftly grabbed downward.
The female cultivator, originally with a face of grievance, trembled as the hand appeared, the expression of shock vanished and was replaced by a sinister and resentful look.
Then, her figure suddenly shimmered, turning into a shock rainbow that shot out, instantly appearing twenty feet away in mid-air.
Such speed was not something even a Core Formation cultivator could achieve, let alone a Qi Refinement cultivator.
The corners of Han Li’s mouth revealed a hint of cold smile, and with a flick of his sleeve robe, a streak of yellow light shot out and disappeared in a flash, suddenly appearing above the woman’s head, turning into a Demon Subduing Staff several feet long.
Under Han Li’s incantation, the staff gently swayed and instantly grew in size, transforming into a huge phantom several meters long, smashing down fiercely.
The young female cultivator was shocked upon seeing this and could only expectorate a stream of black demonic Qi in an attempt to block momentarily.
But with a loud “boom”, the yellow light flickered, and the black Qi dispersed instantly, unable to delay the Demon Subduing Staff.
The staff’s phantom smashed onto the woman’s heavenly spiritual covering.
The young female cultivator screamed in agony, immediately flipping over and crashing down.
Almost simultaneously, a faint black shadow flew out from her body, after circling around, it attempted to dive into the ground.
Just then, a rumbling thunderclap resounded, and a golden electric net unexpectedly appeared above the black shadow.
Before it could react, it rapidly fell.
Bursting sounds continuously arose, and the black demon shadow didn’t even have the opportunity to make a sound before being completely obliterated by the golden light.
These lightning-quick actions left everyone, including the middle-aged man, dumbfounded.
Han Li raised his hand, and the Demon Subduing Staff gently trembled, shrinking back to its original size and flying back into his sleeve.
After doing all this, Han Li threw a light blue small bottle towards Gu Tianqi with a backhand toss.
The middle-aged cultivator subconsciously caught it.
“The medicinal pills in this bottle might help you safely pass through here, consider it a trade for your fixed Nascent Disk,” said Han Li expressionlessly and immediately his body radiated a bright green light, turning into a blinding, shocking rainbow that shot away and disappeared amidst the flying snow in an instant.
Only then did the middle-aged man regain his senses, holding tightly to the small bottle, his face revealing a look of joy.
Surprised shouts also came from the others, as the young female cultivator slowly regained consciousness.
The strike just now surprisingly didn’t cause any real damage to her body.
At this moment, Han Li, following the directions of the disk in his hand, was already heading straight for the Minor Extreme Palace, but he still smiled slightly when he thought of the earlier matter.
A high-grade demon beast’s spirit-subdivision had been lurking within that young female-judging from the power, it was at least a grade eight demon beast’s spirit thought.
This demon was indeed clever, using some demonic art to quietly attach its spirit sense to the young woman’s body, and she was completely unaware of it.
If this continued, once they genuinely exited this area, it was likely that the Minor Extreme Palace cultivators could inadvertently let this demon use the girl’s body to infiltrate their ranks.
Since he encountered them, and it was a matter of lifting his hand, Han Li naturally acted to eradicate this demon’s spirit thought, to prevent it from wreaking havoc during their stay on Beiming Island.
However, this demon beast was so meticulously intent on infiltrating; could it possibly be for the Cold Marrow?
After all, he had already inquired, there had been no news about the loss of Cold Marrow from the Minor Extreme Palace.
For such a long time, it wasn’t possible that the Minor Extreme Palace had not realized the loss of Cold Marrow.
It seemed there was some special reason why they had covered up this matter.
He was pondering with some incomprehension in his heart, yet the streak of light sped away like lightning under his control, soon darting into the bizarre region filled with fist-sized ice hail in the sky.
These ice hail, mingled in the blizzard, were crystal clear and struck the protective shield with a deep “thud” sound, as if giant stones were colliding.
But with Han Li’s cultivation, he naturally disregarded these giant pieces of hail.
After flying for half a noon, Han Li’s eyes brightened as the hail and blizzard vanished, finally leaving the area.
A city built against the mountain made of ice appeared not far ahead.
From a distance, the city shimmered brilliantly under the sunlight, radiating multicolored lights, and the faint white vapor surrounding the city made the Ice City seem like a celestial realm from the heavens, truly unlike any construction of the human world.
A trace of surprise appeared on Han Li’s face.
However, his gaze quickly shifted to the giant mountain behind the Ice City.
To the common folk, this mountain already seemed immensely huge, standing about tens of thousands of feet tall, but compared to the behemoth Kunwu Mountain he had seen before, it was nothing extraordinary.
Yet what genuinely astonished Han Li was that the mountain was as straight as a sky-supporting giant pillar, its surface shimmering crystallinely, covered by a layer of ice whose thickness was unknown.
Had it not been for the occasional flashes of verdant green adorning the mountain, Han Li would have suspected that the entire mountain was a mountain of cold ice.
Even with the Brightsight Spirit Water, the distance prevented Han Li from seeing the specifics atop the mountain; he could only vaguely discern a cluster of colorful buildings on the ice’s summit, presumably, the so-called Minor Extreme Palace.
Han Li looked towards the distant Ice City and the giant mountain but did not immediately fly over.
Between the Ice City and him lay this region of glaciers which, albeit ordinary in appearance, secretly harbored various invisible restrictive formations.
Being proficient in the Dao of Formations, Han Li could distinctly sense the fearsomeness within-anyone rashly trespassing could instantly trigger the powerful mechanisms hidden therein.
Moreover, as he exited the previous area, several streaks of light had already shot out from the Ice City, heading straight towards him, as if they had known about his arrival all along.
Han Li raised an eyebrow, recalling something, and then looked down at the stabilizing disk in his hand, his face revealing a sudden epiphany.
It seemed that this stabilizing disk not only served as a guide but also allowed the cultivators of the Minor Extreme Palace to monitor the whereabouts of the Magic Artifact holder at all times.
Just as he was starting to understand, several streaks of light arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Among them were three cultivators in white robes; one male Core Formation cultivator and two female Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
The man, around thirty years old with a refined appearance, hastily bowed deeply after briefly glancing at Han Li, saying with a hint of astonishment:
“Young Guardian Shi Yun of the Outer Palace.
May I ask for senior’s distinguished name and what brings you to our palace?”
This Beiming Island cultivator had seen from afar that Han Li had emerged from the blizzard.
Although he had known that the visitor was no ordinary cultivator, confirming that Han Li was indeed a Nascent Soul cultivator, and a middle-stage unfamiliar one at that, still made him quite nervous.
“There’s no need to mention my name.
I am here to visit a friend.
An elder of your palace has some acquaintance with me,” Han Li replied calmly.
“An elder of our palace?
May I know which elder senior wishes to meet?
I will immediately pass the message on behalf of senior,” the man said, his expression relaxing as he spoke in a more ingratiating tone.
“Bai Yaoyi, the Celestial, and I have met several times in the past.
I wonder if she is in the palace?” Han Li stated slowly.
“It turns out to be Martial Uncle Bai!
Uncle Bai has not left the palace, but she seems to be in seclusion right now.
I will immediately send a Sound Transmission Talisman to inform Uncle Bai, please kindly wait a moment,” Shi Yun, upon hearing Han Li accurately mention Bai Yaoyi’s name, felt more reassured and promptly released a Sound Transmission Talisman in front of Han Li.
During this period, Han Li stood leisurely in place without moving, but his gaze began to carefully examine the situation in the distance.
Seeing this, the young man blinked, his face filled with smiles, about to say something.
But just then, a dazzling red streak shot out from the blizzard area behind Han Li, appearing merely hundred feet away from them.
A soft exclamation came from within the red streak; it turned its light and headed straight towards Han Li and the others.
Before the red streak reached them, a hearty laugh echoed from it.
“Is this fellow Daoist here to visit someone in our palace?
May I know your honorable name, perhaps I might know of you,” the light converged, revealing a fair-faced young man, though his hair was somewhat grey, and his eyes sparkled with a sense of the vicissitudes of time.
Han Li narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the person before him, and a sweep of his spiritual sense confirmed that this individual was also a mid Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
This was somewhat unexpected to him.
Before Han Li could speak, Shi Yun, standing by, stepped forward excitedly with his hands respectfully clasped and said:
“Disciple pays respect to Martial Uncle Bi, may I know if Uncle’s journey was smooth!”
