Chapter 718: Return to Tian Tian
Although Han Li still did not know the specific origin of the Blood Demon Sword, since he was aware that this item had the dangerous backlash of demonic energy, he naturally did not want Nangong Wan to use such a perilous magical weapon. Without hesitation, he put it away.
As for the other items, although there were still several ancient treasures like the Condensed Light Mirror, it was obvious that Nangong Wan had no intention of taking them away, leaving his Senior Sister a bit of face.
The Condensed Light Mirror, an ancient treasure that had followed the Cold Woman for many years, was well-known among many in the immortal cultivation world. If the two of them took it away, it would likely bring a lot of trouble.
At this moment, Nangong Wan placed the sealing command token between her two hands and gently rubbed it. After a flash of red light, a sheet of black, ink-like energy emerged. Then, with a slight separation of her palms, the token vanished without a trace.
“All done. The mind entanglement technique has finally been lifted. But before we leave, I’ll leave a few words for Senior Sister,” Nangong Wan said with a bright smile, her mood clearly uplifted after the removal of the restraining formation.
Han Li naturally had no objections.
Nangong Wan then took out a white jade slip from her body and gracefully pressed it against her forehead.
A burst of light flashed on the jade slip as Nangong Wan immersed her spiritual awareness into it, beginning to leave some words within the slip.
After a full cup of tea's time, she removed the jade slip from her forehead and placed it together with the items lying on the ground, then put everything back into the storage pouch. She fastened the pouch at the Cold Woman’s waist.
“Let’s go. Senior Sister has been covered by my cycle-reincarnation divine light for so long. Without at least a full day and night, she won’t wake up,” Nangong Wan said with a shy smile towards Han Li.
Looking at her gentle expression, Han Li’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. He took her soft hand, their magical power connected, transforming into a long azure rainbow as they shot out of the hall.
...
“What do you mean by letting me go to the Luoyun Sect alone first?” Nangong Wan stood under an ancient tree atop an unnamed small mountain at the border of Northern Liang Country, frowning.
“My servant concubine and Senior Brother Lv from the Luoyun Sect are still lingering in Tian Tian City for some reason, probably related to the spellmasters’ invasion. Both of them have some connection to me; since we came together, I can’t just leave them behind without care. I have to go check on them,” Han Li said slowly, standing shoulder to shoulder with Nangong Wan, inhaling the faint enticing fragrance nearby.
“If that’s the case, then I’ll go with you. Why should I leave alone?” Nangong Wan scolded Han Li with a slight pout, showing some displeasure.
“Wan’er, you are a nascent soul cultivator of the Moon Veil Sect. The nine nations alliance probably has many advanced-stage cultivators who know you. Although I’ve taught you the transformation technique, this secret art can still be seen through by cultivators with higher cultivation bases. It’s better for you to return to the Luoyun Sect first,” Han Li smiled and explained.
“But now you’ve offended both our Moon Veil Sect and the Transformation Intent Sect. I’m really worried about you going back to Tian Tian City,” Nangong Wan wrinkled her delicate nose, her worry evident.
“Don’t worry! You’ve seen my magical abilities before. There may be many in Tian Nan far stronger than me, but only a handful can trap or kill me. Besides, I’m an elder of the Luoyun Sect. Now with the Mulan people’s invasion, the nine nations alliance is bearing the brunt; they won’t dare make trouble. Also, I believe your Senior Sister will follow the escape plan you left in the jade slip. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to explain it to Wei Wuya. If that’s the case, there’s really nothing to worry about,” Han Li said with a light chuckle.
