Chapter 713: Setting an Ambush
“It’s okay, just give it a try first. If it really doesn’t work, we can still leave later. With me protecting you, even if you’re trapped by the restriction, I can still break through and bring you out,” Han Li said with a confident smile.
“This… alright! Although I don’t know how powerful your magical abilities are, since you’re so confident, you must have some means. But you don’t need to actively seek her out. The Sunset Hall where Senior Sister lives is heavily restricted. It’s better if I lure her here, then the two of us use the power of the restriction to catch her by surprise,” Nangong Wan said, gazing into Han Li’s eyes for a moment. Realizing she couldn’t dissuade him, she bit her red lips lightly.
“That method is definitely more reliable. But can the restrictions in this secluded mansion still be used? When I entered I noticed some of them seemed damaged or incomplete,” Han Li said with a start, then smiled.
“Don’t worry. Although a few of the surface restrictions were destroyed by Senior Sister, I have a very powerful secret restriction that she hasn’t discovered yet. It’s still usable,” Nangong Wan said with a confident smile.
“Good! Then let’s do it that way. I have a few sets of formation equipment with me. They’re not very powerful, but once set up, they can still play a certain restraining role,” Han Li said, stroking his chin.
“And the formation flags too? That’s even better. No time to waste — give me half a day to remove the other restrictions on me and properly restore my magical power to assist you. You start arranging the formation,” Nangong Wan said, gaining more confidence when she heard Han Li’s words.
“But if we capture your Senior Sister, can’t we use that opportunity to take control of the Moon Veil Sect? That way, we wouldn’t have to flee in such disgrace,” Han Li asked thoughtfully, a bit puzzled.
“That’s probably impossible! Besides Senior Sister, there’s another senior brother in the Moon Veil Sect who is also a nascent soul stage cultivator. He is fairly decent, but he certainly won’t let me, without proper status, take the position of elder. Besides, I have no desire to fight for power. As long as I have a quiet place to cultivate with peace of mind, that’s enough for me,” Nangong Wan said after a pause, shaking her head.
“If that’s the case, then forget it! If everything goes smoothly, you can come back with me to the Luoyun Sect. Even if the Nine Nations Alliance is powerful, and Wei Wuya favors Wei Lichen, at this critical juncture of the spellmaster invasion, they wouldn’t dare offend the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the two of us nascent soul cultivators lightly,” Han Li nodded, speaking with a cold smile.
He then slapped his storage pouch with one hand and flipped his palm, producing a stack of formation flags and formation plates.
Seeing this, Nangong Wan smiled slightly, resettled in her chair, closed her bright eyes, and formed strange spell formations with her hands.
After a short while, a crimson flame began to flicker on her snow-white clothes, reaching several feet high and enveloping Nangong Wan completely.
At the same time, Han Li was not idle.
He swiftly moved around the hall, flying formation flags and plates from his hands continuously.
Glowing in various colors, they all disappeared into different corners of the hall.
The arrangement of the formation flags was naturally very quick. To maximize the formation’s power, Han Li limited its effect to within the hall. Moreover, all the formations were extremely concealed, making them difficult to detect without deliberately searching with spiritual awareness.
These formation flags and plates were a batch Han Li had refined back in his foundation formation stage. They were somewhat insufficient even against foundation formation cultivators, let alone nascent soul stage cultivators.
Han Li had no real expectations for their power here. After finishing the arrangement, he pondered for a moment. Suddenly, with a flick of his sleeve, a white light shot out, circling before landing in front of him — it was the white fox transformed from Silver Moon.
