Chapter 495: Making a Move

"Everyone, since the people of Fuling Sect have broken their promise and sneaked in, we don't have to abide by the previously agreed terms." The thick-browed Golden Immortal from Candle Dragon Hall said, and his figure immediately shot out, as if afraid that the four from Cangliu Palace would stop him. With a flash, he disappeared into the stone door.

Yun Ni glanced at the four from Cangliu Palace, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly. Her figure also transformed into a silver light and shot out, disappearing into the stone door with a flash.

The four Golden Immortals from Cangliu Palace did not stop Yun Ni and the thick-browed Golden Immortal.

At this moment, only the group from Cangliu Palace remained outside the stone door.

The four exchanged glances, then formed hand seals with both hands, and streams of spell formulas sank into the blue light screen.

At the same time the blue light screen appeared, the four also received a secret transmission from Luo Qinghai.

The light screen rippled, then rapidly contracted. After a few breaths, it transformed into a blue light door.

"You continue to guard the entrance." The white-faced scholar among the four from Cangliu Palace instructed the other True Immortals.

"Yes." The several True Immortals immediately nodded.

The four figures shot out, and with a flash, disappeared into the blue light door.

After the four flew in, the blue light door immediately rippled and quickly dissipated.

Just then, a white shadow flickered, and Yun Ni's figure appeared out of thin air.

The several True Immortals from Cangliu Palace changed expression.

Yun Ni paid them no heed. Her figure flickered, and she also disappeared into the blue light door that was about to collapse.

The light door flickered a few times, then shattered and dissipated, leaving only the True Immortals of Cangliu Palace staring at each other in bewilderment.

...

Within the great hall, the dazzling silver light filling the sky suddenly flickered and receded like a tide, vanishing without a trace.

The golden light from various places also faded away. The pill tribulation had once again passed safely.

The two chi dragons on the pill furnace opened their mouths, and two Taiyi Pills shot out from within. The extremely rich aroma of the pills once again filled the entire golden hall.

Feng Tiandu looked at the two pills, a trace of greed flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, a golden shadow flickered behind the pill furnace, and two more golden puppets appeared from somewhere, catching the two Taiyi Pills and again walking toward the golden seat.

"Junior Brother, how are you?" Feng Tiandu transmitted a message to Qi Tianxiao upon seeing this.

"To escape that sea of fire just now, I used the sect's forbidden secret technique, which consumed a lot. But fortunately, it did not damage my foundation." Qi Tianxiao took a deep breath and replied via transmission.

"Things have come to this; I absolutely refuse to return empty-handed. I believe you feel the same. That old ghost Luo Qinghai was probably trying to summon the outside Golden Immortals just now. Once those people come in, our situation will be even worse. We must seize the Taiyi Pills immediately!" Feng Tiandu transmitted coldly.

"But with the restrictions here and those puppets being so formidable, it's impossible for me alone to seize the pills." Qi Tianxiao's expression changed slightly as he replied via transmission.

"No matter. I've observed carefully; although those gray-white statues are powerful, they seem to have low intelligence and don't know how to adapt. Like this, I'll try to attract their attention, and you take the opportunity to seize the pills!" Feng Tiandu transmitted.

"Alright, I'll try once more." Qi Tianxiao hesitated briefly before transmitting.

While Feng Tiandu and the other were transmitting, Han Li glanced at the others around him, his eyes flickering.

The situation in this great hall was becoming increasingly unfavorable. Although he was confident he could break free from the Separation Yuan Chains, it would take some time. Being controlled like this seemed unwise.

Han Li hesitated inwardly, wondering whether he should break free from the restraints of the Separation Yuan Chains now.

Just then, Feng Tiandu suddenly raised both hands and shot out streams of spell formulas, which sank into two black chains.

These two black chains bound Hu Yan Dao Ren and Ouyang Kui Shan.

The two black chains immediately emitted a brilliant light, and countless black runes shot out from them, converging to form a blurry black figure half a foot tall, letting out strange screeches.

"Domain Spirit!" Han Li's pupils contracted.

The black figure immediately pounced forward, blurring as it sank into the bodies of Hu Yan Dao Ren and Ouyang Kui Shan.

Black patterns immediately appeared on the surfaces of their bodies, spreading rapidly.

"Feng Tiandu, what have you done?" The two of them changed expression drastically and tried to use their respective laws to resist, but to no avail.

In the blink of an eye, black patterns appeared all over their bodies, and the aura they emitted also changed.

With a clatter, the bodies of Hu Yan Dao Ren and the other broke free from the chain cage and landed on the ground, though a black chain still connected to their dantian.

"Go!" Feng Tiandu waved his hand.

The two figures shot out, then dashed toward the direction of the pill furnace.

Seeing this, Qi Tianxiao's face lit up with joy. He flipped his hand and took a pill, and rolling gray clouds emanated from his body.

Han Li instantly understood Feng Tiandu's intention, and his expression turned cold.

Hu Yan and he were already on good terms, and this time, entering the Nethercold Immortal Mansion together, Hu Yan had even given him the later chapters of the True Word Precious Wheel Sutra. He absolutely could not stand by and watch him fall.

A flash of golden light flickered on his body, and he was about to act.

Just then, a sudden change occurred.

A blue light flashed at the entrance of the hall, and a blue light door materialized.

Swish, swish, swish!

Four Golden Immortals of the Cangliu Palace, including the pale-faced scholar, shot out from within, their expressions changing as they saw the situation in the hall.

Immediately after, the figure within the light door blurred, and a woman in a yellow skirt also shot out from within.

It was Yun Ni.

"You..." The four, including the pale-faced scholar, were startled to see Yun Ni appear.

As soon as Yun Ni's figure appeared in the golden hall, she immediately spotted the black-bearded old man, Hu Yan Daoist, bound by black chains within the spirit domain.

Her gaze tightened, and with a delicate shout, a massive white snow lotus shadow emerged around her, and in her palm appeared a strange flying sword shaped like a lotus stem.

Riding the lotus, treading on the void, amidst a flurry of drifting lotus leaves, she flew like an arrow toward Hu Yan Daoist.

At this moment, it seemed as if everything around her was invisible; in her eyes, there was only that one figure.

"What a pair of desperate lovebirds!" Feng Tiandu raised an eyebrow and sneered.

Above the roof, the black light curtain clattered loudly, and two black chains materialized out of thin air, crisscrossing in midair as they shot toward Yun Ni.

"Be careful!" Hu Yan Daoist called out urgently upon seeing this.

Anxious to save him, Yun Ni, though aware of the danger above, refused to take a detour and instead fully activated the lotus shadow beneath her, continuing to shoot straight toward Hu Yan.

However, within Feng Tiandu's spirit domain, how could she act as she pleased?

Before she could fly close, two more chains from the left and right flanked her from ahead, crossing vertically and horizontally with the two chains above, completely blocking her path. It seemed she would soon be trapped as well.

Just then, a brilliant divine light suddenly lit up in Han Li's eyes, and a small, condensed golden light, like a bean, glowed from his chest.

Then, the golden light flickered like a flame and instantly transformed into a radiant golden light screen, enveloping the entire hall.

Within the domed golden hall, countless golden ripples appeared in the void, streaks of colorful light flickering unsteadily, emanating a vast and incomparable law aura.

The four chains shooting toward Yun Ni immediately slowed down the moment they struck the golden ripples.

Yun Ni raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with disbelief, and effortlessly slipped through the gaps between the chains, arriving beside Hu Yan Dao Ren.

"Good lad, haha..." Hu Yan Dao Ren turned his head to glance at Han Li and laughed heartily.

In fact, at this moment, throughout the entire hall, only the two of them could still move freely, unaffected by the golden spiritual domain. Even Feng Tian Du and Luo Qing Hai felt a distinct power of the laws of time.

This turn of events was truly too astonishing, startling everyone present.

"Time spiritual domain..." Feng Tian Du's gaunt, zombie-like face twisted ferociously as he gritted his teeth and shouted.

His fingers slowly curled, and a chain of black light, as solid as black crystal, suddenly shot out from beneath his robes, darting straight toward Han Li's dantian like a serpent's tongue.

"What? At this point, you still want to seal my Nascent Soul?" Han Li curled his lips into a cold smile and said.

As his words fell, a flash of green light suddenly appeared in the void before him, and a Green Bamboo蜂Cloud Sword emerged, slashing toward the black chains binding Han Li.

"Crackle, crackle"

A burst of golden electric arcs leaped violently, shooting out from the Green Bamboo蜂Cloud Sword. The entire blade seemed to have been baptized by a pool of lightning, becoming even sharper, with green sword aura bursting forth from the golden light.

With a sharp clang!

The black chains binding Han Li snapped, turning into a black mist that merged back into the black spiritual domain.

Impossible!

Feng Tiandu's expression changed again. He stared fixedly at the longsword in Han Li's hand, unable to believe that this sword could sever his Separation Yuan Chains with a single strike.

How could he know that the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword, though appearing as one, was actually three fused together, unleashing the maximum power Han Li could currently muster, releasing the vast and boundless Sword Sea Sword Qi, whose might far exceeded ordinary immortal artifacts.

All this seemed lengthy, but in truth it was but an instant.

When Han Li severed the chains on his body, the black crystal chain had already reached his lower abdomen, mere inches from piercing him. Yet in the next moment, his figure suddenly blurred and vanished from the spot.

It turned out that the moment he broke free, he reversed his true wheel, accelerating his own time flow to evade first, then flashed to Jin Tong's side, swinging his sword to sever the chains binding her.

Watching this, Feng Tiandu's already ashen face grew even darker. If not for having to control the others, he would have rushed over himself to kill Han Li.

Luo Qinghai watched the scene before him, his expression growing increasingly complex.

The few people he had painstakingly summoned were now affected by the spiritual domain Han Li had released, their movements becoming extremely sluggish.
