In his surprise, as he thought about what action to take next, a green light abruptly streaked out from the bottle and flew off.
Although Han Li was caught unprepared, he wasn’t about to allow it to escape. With a cold snort, he reached his hand out.
A large azure hand appeared above the green light and slipped down to grab it.
The escaping green light seemed to have already been weakened. Although it was fleeing with utmost speed, the large hand easily grabbed it from the air.
Within the flickering green light, one could see the vague appearance of a female Nascent Soul.
Han Li couldn't help but stroke his chin at the sight.
He stared at the Nascent Soul and slowly asked, “Who is your esteemed self? Why has Six Paths trapped you inside the bottle?”
“Who are you? Where is that devil Six Paths?” Although the Nascent Soul was trapped, it replied boldly.
Facing a mere Nascent Soul, Han Li simply smiled and lazily replied, “If you’re thinking about seeing him, I fear you will be disappointed. I already sent him to the underworld.”
“What? You killed that old devil? How is that possible? Yi! You’re...” The Nascent Soul trembled and spoke with a tone of disbelief.
Chapter 1220: Breaking the Formation
“You know me?” Han Li said with a tone of bafflement.
Although he knew many female cultivators, he didn’t know any at Nascent Soul-stage apart from Ling Yuling.
After a long pause, the Nascent Soul eventually spoke with an odd tone, “You’re Han Li? When Heavenvoid Hall opened, I saw you once before. It was later said that you acquired the Heavenvoid Cauldron. I didn’t expect that you could’ve escaped the pursuit from those old eccentrics and reach cultivation of this level.”
When he heard her mention Heavenvoid Hall, he recalled where he heard her voice before. A flash of realization sparked in his mind and he doubtfully asked, “You’re... Lady Wen?”
“I didn’t expect that you’d remember me.” She let out a long sigh.
When she confirmed her identity, Han Li wore an astonished expression.
This female Nascent Soul belonged to a woman named Lady Wen, who he originally saw at Heavenvoid Hall. Although her cultivation at the time was significant to begin with, she must’ve acquired quite a few medicines in Heavenvoid Hall and made much progress.
He also remembered what relationship she had with Six Paths.
“If I remember correctly, you should’ve been his Dao Companion!”
Lady Wen resentfully snorted and hesitantly asked, “His Dao Companion? Have you ever seen someone seal their Dao Companion’s Nascent Soul in a magic treasure? But more importantly, you truly killed that wretch Six Paths?”
Han Li smiled and wordlessly extended his finger.
After a brief pause, Lady Wen’s eyes followed where he pointed.
Not far away, there was a block of purple ice that sealed a ruined corpse. It originally belonged to Archsaint Six Paths.
Then, the azure hand holding down Lady Wen wildly flickered before disappearing without a trace.
Lady Wen’s Nascent Soul was now freed.
With her freedom restored, Lady Wen quickly shot forward and flew several circles around the corpse before letting out a frigid laugh to the sky, “It really is that old wretch! As scheming as you are, I didn’t expect that you would die first!”
Han Li frowned. Although he didn’t know what happened for Six Paths and Lady Wen to fall out, he had no interest in hearing about it. Soon after, he began to consider what he should do next.
The Nascent Soul’s laughter eventually came to a stop and she looked over to find Han Li wearing a pensive expression. “There is no need for Fellow Daoist Han to trouble himself. I’ve been kept inside that magic treasure for such a long period of time that I’ve weakened to the point where I can no longer possess a body.
My Nascent Soul will have to immediately dissipate for a chance of reincarnation. I am truly grateful that Fellow Daoist Han managed to eliminate my enemy, but with my current abilities, I have no way to compensate you. I can only hope to repay you in my next life.”
With that said, she abruptly slapped the top of her head.
A blinding red light shined and covered the Nascent Soul entirely. Gradually, the Nascent Soul scattered inch by inch before hl until it was no more.
Han Li was shocked.
He didn’t think that Lady Wen would be so decisive that she would end herself without speaking another word to him. Was what happened so disastrous that she would keep this secret to the grave? But even if she didn’t want to tell him what happened, he could fancy a guess.
Although he was somewhat gloomy over what happened, it was better things ended this way. It would’ve been troublesome to figure out what to do with her.
Han Li shook his head and sighed. He raised his hand and summoned the green bottle back into his grasp before placing it into his storage pouch.
Then, he released an arc of golden lightning from his hand and pulverized the purple ice and the rest of Six Paths’ corpse, turning it into nothing more than shining specks.
As for his storage pouch, Han Li simply took it into his possession.
He quickly swept over its contents and found that most of them didn’t catch his attention at his current level, despite many treasures being amongst them. But there were a few slips detailing Devil Dao techniques that piqued his interest. It is a pity that he didn’t have the time to look at them.
With all that done, Han Li beckoned to his puppet and directly head over to the bone banner. The puppet blurred and strangely disappeared.
When he arrived at the bone banner, the five ghost heads cleanly devoured the skulls and had nearly devoured the entirety of the banner itself.
When Han Li arrived in front of it, he shook his head.
Although the bone banner was somewhat famous, it possessed too much fiendish Qi and wasn’t suitable for him. As such, he made no attempt to stop them.
A short moment later, the cinque devils finally finished destroying the banner and they let out odd screams as if in an expression of joy. The devil Qi they emitted seemed to be more concentrated than before.
When Han Li saw this, his expression remained unchanged. He waited until their laughs finished before commanding them with a single hand.
Although the cinque devils were somewhat unwilling, they didn’t dare to disobey and obediently arrived at Han Li’s side, having experienced the pain from Han Li’s restrictions several times before.
Rather than withdrawing them, he calmly flew back in the direction of Heavenly Star City and had the cinque devils closely follow after him.
The battle between him and the old devil didn’t last very long. Victory was achieved in only the time it took to finish a meal.
If the city fell in that amount of time, Han Li would simply turn around and leave without care for anything else.
It would simply illustrate that the city wasn’t worthy of his help!
Fortunately, this matter didn’t come to pass.
By the time Han Li let the Cinque Devils back to the Heavenly Windfire Formation’s core, the vast battle between the Star Palace and the Starfall Coalition was still being fought with great intensity.
Truthfully, it appeared the Starfall Coalition had somewhat of an upper hand.
This was because the Twin Lan Devils were truly formidable. As the blue devilish Qi and the pink fragrant mist spread forward, it pushed back the Star Palace cultivators. The two original elders of the Starfall Coalition were clearly superior to Old Man Zhao and the large purple-robed man. They could barely hold them back, let alone deal with the Lan Devils.
The lower-grade cultivators, on the other hand, would be immediately shredded to mist upon contact with the blue Qi, or fall as if drunk upon touching the pink mist.
As a result, the Lan Devils wreaked havoc unchecked.
In such turbulent fighting, Han Li’s silent return hadn’t caught anybody’s attention.
