Chapter 569: Heir of the Six Paths
After this incident, Han Li naturally understood that the newcomer was no ordinary cultivator. He had no mood to get entangled with that sneaky White Shadow and immediately activated the giant spear formed by the golddevourer worm, easily killing White Shadow.
Now he could focus wholeheartedly on dealing with the late foundation formation cultivator who had just arrived.
He glanced back at the situation inside the valley.
Han Li saw that the magic formation was already surrounded tightly by a mass of pitch-black yin energy, like ink. It was estimated that Yuan Yao’s soul restoration technique had reached a critical moment. If disturbed now, not only would Yanli fail to be revived, but even the young woman herself would suffer severe backlash from her cultivation techniques.
Han Li furrowed his brows and turned around to ponder for a moment.
Although he didn’t know what kind of divine being the young man was, the sheer strength of his spiritual awareness was enough to make him wary.
Of course, he had no fear.
He was confident that with his magical treasures and magical abilities, no foundation formation cultivator could pose a threat to him.
He was considering whether to take the initiative and attack this person.
After all, the opponent seemed somewhat tricky. If he were to join forces with other cultivators, it would be quite a big problem.
Just as Han Li hesitated, he suddenly sensed something. His expression changed slightly and his eyes narrowed as he abruptly stood up.
The man actually brought along a stunning young woman, left the Beast Carriage, and was flying toward this place.
Han Li’s face darkened. He raised both hands and released more than a dozen giant ape puppets to stay behind, preventing any scoundrels from taking advantage if he wasn’t around.
Without hesitation, he stomped his foot, transforming into an azure rainbow that tore through the sky, heading to intercept the pair.
If cultivators of their level fought nearby, it was very likely to affect Yuan Yao casting spells inside the valley. Since the other party didn’t seem weak, Han Li estimated he couldn’t kill them instantly. His only option was to block them from approaching too close.
The opponents didn’t seem to be using full speed to fly; their pace was moderate.
So after a short while, Han Li met them at the outskirts of the small island.
Han Li had changed his appearance subtly when he began protecting the place, so he wasn’t afraid of being recognized as the owner of the Void Heaven Cauldron.
Instead, from over a hundred yards away, Han Li coldly stared at the man and woman expressionlessly.
After a brief observation, a trace of surprise flashed through Han Li’s eyes.
The man was one thing — although the golden light in his brows was glaring, it was probably just due to some special cultivation technique. But the woman’s beauty was too stunning, even inspiring a thought of reverence. Han Li couldn’t help but look at her twice.
For some unknown reason, Han Li suddenly felt a familiar sensation toward the young woman, especially her clear, bright eyes, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
But Han Li was sure this was the first time he had seen such a stunning young woman.
Otherwise, with her extraordinary appearance, she would have left a deep impression.
At this moment, the man and the stunning woman also glanced at Han Li.
“I wonder what your honorable surname is. Is the person casting the heaven-defying secret technique your companion?” Wen Tianren, with hands behind his back, showed a slight change in expression before smiling faintly and speaking.
Han Li’s heart tightened at these words!
The other party was so confident in confirming the source of the heavenly omen. It seemed the man’s strength far exceeded Han Li’s imagination!
“It doesn’t matter what my surname is. Instead, I advise you two fellow cultivators to turn back now! Since you know this heavenly phenomenon is not a sign of a treasure’s manifestation, why come to this island?” Han Li said calmly.
