Chapter 722: Reunion

"They are from the Reincarnation Domain. That white-haired man is the renowned Huangfu Yu!"

"So he is Huangfu Yu, the former domain master of Jinnan Domain!"

"It is said that he was once a lover of the Heart Rain Palace Master of the Reincarnation Domain, who perished during a battle with the True Immortal Realm Heavenly Court. Huangfu Yu, heartbroken, instead made great progress in cultivation and achieved the Dao Ancestor realm. Later, for some unknown reason, he joined the Reincarnation Domain."

"That middle-aged man seems to be Wuyang Palace Master of the Reincarnation Domain, but I haven't seen that woman in white before. Moreover, her cultivation seems not high, only at the Taiyi stage."

With the appearance of the white-haired youth Huangfu Yu and Jiao San and the other two, the crowd below buzzed with discussion again. Most gazes fell on Huangfu Yu, especially among the women.

"Rest assured, Palace Master Huangfu. Since Yin has said it, he will do it." Yin Chengquan turned to look at Huangfu Yu and the other two, speaking slowly.

At that moment, streaks of遁光 flew in from afar, landing on the high platform, revealing figures in various attires and with bizarre appearances.

"Domain Master Mo Zan of Shaohao Domain arrives!"

"Domain Master Xi Ren Song of Tiantu Domain arrives!"

"Domain Master Yue Yang of Baizhan Domain arrives!"

…

These were precisely the domain masters of the other small and medium domains that had originally followed the lead of the three major domains: Gray Realm Jiuyou, Black Rope, and Reincarnation.

Of course, this was only the past allegiance. After this tri-domain alliance, with the entanglements of overt and covert interests, the situation would obviously undergo considerable changes.

All these figures on the high platform exuded immensely powerful auras, with the weakest at the Golden Immortal level.

The domain master of Heichi Domain also arrived, followed by two people, precisely Miao Gao and the fat old man, two lords.

"Since all domain masters have arrived, please take your seats." Yin Chengquan announced loudly.

The domain masters on the high platform sat down one after another, while their subordinates stood behind them.

"The tri-domain alliance officially begins!" Yin Chengquan also walked to a seat and sat down, speaking slowly.

Clang!

The final huge bell sound echoed in the sky, the grand bell tone slowly dissipated, and the four soaring pillars of light rapidly shrank and then disappeared.

…

Far from the Upside Down Street and the somewhat famous market in the Tamin District, heading inward, not only did the buildings along the way become sparser, but even the幽奴 on the road became increasingly scarce.

After moving away from that market, Han Li and the other two deliberately concealed their auras and hid their forms, quietly heading towards the Baicang District.

Although pedestrians had decreased, the patrol teams of幽奴 they encountered along the way had increased.

Unlike ordinary幽奴, these patrolling幽奴 all wore a black armor that only protected the area above the abdomen, with no leg armor, shoulder armor, or arm guards, appearing quite lightweight.

Their煞气 was mostly extremely dense. Except for the leader who was at the Mahayana level, the rest were mostly at the Combined Movement and Void Refining levels. They basically patrolled along fixed routes, making it not too difficult to avoid them.

Before long, Han Li and the other two passed through layers of patrols and arrived at the border between the Tamin District and the Baicang District.

Like the outer city of Shura, the border between the two districts was separated by a huge black city wall, with various strange runes engraved on it, shrouded in a hazy gray mist, making it hard to see clearly.

Above the city gate was built a three-story black hall, and a few hundred zhang to either side were two corner towers. On the connecting horse path, every ten steps stood an armored幽奴 holding a weapon.

Inside the gate, two heavy doors were tightly closed. In front of the gate stood two bronze-armored giants over ten zhang tall, with faces similar to humans but bald, round-eyed, wide-mouthed, with protruding fangs, quite ugly.

Han Li was currently hiding beneath a gray rock a few hundred zhang away from the city gate. Mo Guang and Shi Chuankong were also not far away, each concealed under a rock.

At this moment, they were using the spatial secret technique performed by Shi Chuankong to conceal their forms and auras, allowing them to get so close to the city gate without being detected.

"It's basically the same as the information obtained from soul search. The city wall has special禁制 reinforcement. The two guarding the gate should be from the Bronze Spine Clan, a race with considerable combat power in the Jiuyou Domain, with cultivation above True Immortal." Shi Chuankong glanced at the corpse of an armored幽奴 lying on the ground, speaking to Han Li and Mo Guang via telepathy.

"That's not the main issue. The most troublesome is inside the city tower, where there should be a Jiuyou clan member comparable to a Da Luo cultivator guarding. It seems he hasn't been dispatched to the Duohu Lake area. Getting in won't be easy." Han Li frowned slightly.

"Using spatial law power, it's not difficult to pass through the禁制 on the city wall safely. The hard part is ensuring we don't alert that Jiuyou clan cultivator." Shi Chuankong frowned deeply.

"No problem. You go ahead and use spatial law. I'll help you conceal any煞气 fluctuations." Mo Guang, upon hearing this, lightly shook his folding fan and smiled.

"Can you fool that Da Luo level Jiuyou clan cultivator?" Han Li asked doubtfully.

"What? Don't you believe me?" Mo Guang grinned and asked.

"A Da Luo level cultivator is far above our realm. If alerted, we might not even have a chance to escape. Fellow Daoist Mo Guang, unless you are absolutely certain, don't overestimate yourself." Shi Chuankong also expressed concern.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you should understand the hidden power of this body, but you probably don't know its true wonders. Since I dare to say it, naturally I am confident." Mo Guang transmitted to Han Li.

Han Li hesitated for a moment before speaking: "I trust you."

Shi Chuankong frowned imperceptibly, as if about to say something, but ultimately held back and said nothing.

"Although I have some confidence, I can't do it here. Let's go. We'll avoid the city tower and corner towers and find a weak spot in the middle section of the wall as a breakthrough." Mo Guang put away his folding fan and said.

Han Li and Shi Chuankong nodded simultaneously, and the three silently moved towards the east side of the city tower.

"Stop. We're being watched..." After traveling east for over a hundred li, Han Li suddenly transmitted to halt.

Shi Chuankong was startled; he hadn't detected any abnormality at all.

Mo Guang also looked contemplative, seemingly puzzled.

"Brother Shi, Fellow Daoist Li, don't be nervous. It's us." Just then, a rather familiar voice came through.

Han Li and Shi Chuankong exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

As the voice fell, a flash of bright white light appeared, and the void blurred and twisted, revealing two figures—one tall and one thin.

The thin one, dressed in a black robe with a youthful face, was actually "Hu San."

The other person was no stranger to Han Li; it was Bai Liyan, whom he had met once before in the Sanmiao Clan.

"Hu San, it's you... And this is?" Shi Chuankong was first startled, then genuinely delighted.

"Brother Shi, Fellow Daoist Li, long time no see. This is Fellow Daoist Bai Liyan, also affiliated with our Reincarnation Hall." Hu San walked forward with a smile and introduced.

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Mo Guang, a flicker of suspicion in his eyes.

Bai Liyan, who had come over with him, had already seen Mo Guang in the Sanmiao Clan and had heard a general account from Han Li, so he was not as surprised.

After briefly introducing Mo Guang without going into details, Han Li frowned and asked, "How did you two end up together?"

"That's a long story... When the True Speech Sect ruins collapsed back then, I was swallowed by a spatial vortex and ended up here, almost dying at the hands of a giant skeleton demon. Thanks to the large amount of pills and immortal jade I had on me, I managed to hide in Fangqiu Domain until I met Fellow Daoist Bai." Hu San scratched his head, a hint of embarrassment in his expression.

Seeing his demeanor, so different from his usual carefree attitude, Han Li knew he was hiding something and cast an inquiring look at Bai Liyan.

"After leaving the Sanmiao Clan, I went to Donghu Domain and Fangqiu Domain, where I encountered Hu San among the Jiesha Clan. At that time, he had been thrown into a dark prison awaiting execution for stealing the Jiesha Clan's tribute secret treasure. Fortunately, the Jiesha Clan had already decided to join the Reincarnation Domain, so they gave him to me as a gift. After that, he came here with me." Bai Liyan explained with a wry smile.

Han Li was speechless. He glanced at Hu San without saying a word, but his gaze carried a meaning of "just as I thought."

"Hu San, I didn't expect you to fail?" Shi Chuankong also chuckled, teasing him.

"This... maybe a bit of acclimatization, haha! That's all in the past. Let's not mention it. Let's talk about business." Hu San laughed and changed the subject.

"By the way, how did you find us?" Han Li asked.

"I knew you came with the Sanmiao Clan, but I didn't see you there, so I guessed you must be heading for the Cleansing Pool. So I came looking." Bai Liyan smiled.

"That's right. We are indeed planning to go to the Cleansing Pool." Han Li nodded.

"Perfect. We can team up and go to the Cleansing Pool together. More people mean more strength, and a higher chance of success." Hu San rubbed his hands together.

"Alright." Han Li glanced at Bai Liyan and nodded.

Although among the three, Mo Guang currently had the highest cultivation, he and Shi Chuankong still followed Han Li's lead. Seeing Han Li agree, naturally they had no objections.

Thus, the five said no more and continued east for nearly a hundred li before stopping again.

"This is about right. If we go further east, there's another beacon tower, possibly guarded by high-level Jiuyou clan cultivators. Let's act here." Mo Guang scanned the wall ahead and said.

On the city wall, a row of armored幽奴 stood in整齐 formation, their eyes fixed ahead.

"The禁制 on the wall mainly serve to reinforce and provide early warning. To pass through undetected, we need to get closer." Shi Chuankong mused.

"Leave that to me." Hu San said, flicking his wrist, and a round crystal sphere appeared in his palm.
