Chapter 892: Saintess of the Heavenly Waves
The so-called "thing" was none other than the burly young man recently captured by the great Jin cultivators. However, calling a corpse a "thing" was not inappropriate.
Looking at the lifeless body on the ground, Han Li muttered a few words to himself.
This was not caused by him; when he tried to revive the youth and ask the great Jin cultivators about their origins, the young man’s face was already dark purple, as if he had taken poison to commit suicide.
It seemed that this youth harbored deep hatred. Knowing he was doomed this time, he had preemptively ingested a deadly poison before coming out to fight.
This way, once captured, he wouldn’t have to fear the torment of soul refinement or similar sufferings. But the rapid dispersal of his vital essence suggested he had secretly done something else to himself.
Han Li shook his head, feeling both amused and helpless.
If this youth’s underground acquaintances knew that he could have been saved but missed the chance because of suicide, he wondered what expression they would show.
However, since Han Li had no connection to this person, he felt no special emotions. Without much thought, he shot out a small fireball, instantly reducing the young man's corpse to ashes.
A moment later, the demonic cloud flew back at great speed. The secondary nascent soul holding the black banner appeared, lightly waving the flag.
After a gust of wind, all the demonic energy was absorbed into the banner. The banner then spiraled and shot towards Han Li’s forehead, disappearing in a flash.
Only then did Han Li glance around and see the Tuwo tribe mortals standing far away, some looking toward him with fear.
“All right. We can’t stay here any longer. Come with me. Before your poison fully takes effect, you still need to tell me the secret cavern’s location,” Han Li said calmly to a carriage.
“So you’re the elder of the Yin Luo Sect! No wonder you easily killed that old thief Feng Zhen, and that precious Haoyuan Pill,” the carriage curtain was slowly lifted, and Feng Yue emerged wearing a cloak, his voice strangely excited.
“Heh heh! Elder of the Yin Luo Sect. Let’s talk about that later. Let’s go,” Han Li sneered, releasing a flying sword without further words, riding it into the sky.
After hesitating briefly, Feng Yue followed without delay.
The two of them became light-speed streaks, one after another, gradually disappearing beyond the horizon.
Only then did the Tuwo tribe mortals nearby regain courage and return to the caravan. The leaders exchanged awkward looks and bitter smiles. Their hired immortal masters were either dead or fled, and the exact situation was still a mystery to them.
A few days later, the news finally spread.
Several immortal masters died at once. Even though they were low-grade immortal masters, it was no small matter—especially since it involved great Jin cultivators who traded with the Tuwo tribe and the Sanctuary. This could not be taken lightly.
Some Sanctuary immortal masters rushed over upon hearing the news. After questioning and analysis, they finally identified the culprit: the foreign cultivator who had recently slain several nascent soul-level immortal masters.
According to the mortals who witnessed the event, the identity of this outsider seemed clear—it was the elder of the Yin Luo Sect, one of the ten great demonic sects of great Jin.
Since the source of this information was a cultivator from the Nine Immortals Palace, now destroyed, there was likely no mistake.
Moreover, how could the Tuwo people not know the fame of the sect's treasure, the Ghost Luo Banner? This caused the participating immortal masters in the border battle to shudder.
It turned out that during the last great war, this elder of the Yin Luo Sect had not even used his full power or unleashed this supreme treasure. With such magical abilities and the Ghost Luo Banner, he was likely one of the top-ranking elders in the sect.
As for why this person appeared on the prairie and attacked them so severely, some Tuwo immortal masters suddenly had an epiphany.
