Having traveled so far away from the Dark Beast Forest, the Dark Beasts would most likely have to give up on pursuing him regardless of how furious they were.
However, if they really did dare to continue to try and hunt him down, then he certainly wouldn't mind killing them on the spot.
He had initially fled from them not because he was actually afraid of them. Instead, he was simply trying to avoid a situation where more Dark Beasts would flock to the scene, in which case he'd be completely surrounded.
Han Li clasped his hands together behind his back and stood atop the hill in a motionless manner. A gentle breeze blew over him, and his robes flapped gently in the wind, giving him the appearance of a profound immortal.
All of a sudden, he flipped a hand over to produce a crimson formation plate, upon which a series of silver threads were flickering incessantly.
Han Li stared at the formation plate for a while before his brows furrowed slightly.
"The two of them have already reunited with one another, and they're not too far away from here, either, so why aren't they coming to join me? Could it be that they've run into some trouble?" Han Li murmured to himself before stowing away the formation plate again. He then raised his head and cast his gaze toward a certain direction, following which azure light suddenly flashed from his body.
He rose up into the air, then flew into the distance toward the direction he'd cast his gaze toward before.
Even though he wasn't moving as quickly as he had with his Thunderstorm Wings activated, he was still flying at an incredible speed.
Thus, he sped over a distance of close 15,000 kilometers in a short time, taking him to another region of the grasslands.
As he flew through the air, blue light flashed through Han Li's eyes, and a peculiar look appeared on his face.
All of a sudden, the azure light faded, and Han Li reappeared as he cast his gaze forward in an expressionless manner.
Over 1,000 feet away from him, there were two pairs of beings facing one another from afar.
One pair consisted of none other than Shi Kun and Liu Shui'er.
Liu Shui'er wore a cautious look on her face, whereas Shi Kun had already put on a cold smile, and his hands were balled up into tight fists as if he were eager for a battle.
Before them stood a man and a woman.
The man had a thick and curly beard with a suit of silver scale armor encasing his upper body. He had a giant trident-like weapon on his back, and he appeared to be quite a boisterous being.
In contrast, the woman had a pair of delicate brows and black eyes. Her skin was very fair, and she wore a green beast hide garment that accentuated the curves of her alluring voluptuous body to perfection.
Strangely enough, both of their lower bodies had been enshrouded within clouds of white Qi, and the sound of flowing water could be heard from within those white clouds.
"Those are Sea Monarch beings!"
Han Li was able to identify the origin of this duo almost instantly, and his expression changed slightly upon making this discovery.
The Sea Monarch Race wasn't a direct enemy of the Heavenly Cloud Races, but it was common knowledge that they were allies of the Jiao Chi Race.
As such, it was no wonder that they were in such a tense confrontation.
The reactions of the two groups were naturally vastly different at the sight of Han Li's arrival.
A hint of elation appeared in Liu Shui'er's eyes, and she was immediately feeling a lot more reassured.
Shi Kun's smile also widened even further, and he greeted Han Li in a respectful manner.
In contrast, the pair of Sea Monarch beings both turned to appraise Han Li with cold and unfriendly expressions.
Both of them were quite surprised to sense that Han Li was only a seventh-tier upper race being, and they couldn't help but exchange a bewildered glance with one another.
"Are you a Heavenly Cloud being as well?" the man asked in a booming voice that matched his appearance.
"I guess I technically am at the moment. Are you two preparing to attack my companions?" Han Li asked in a calm manner.
"Are we planning to attack them? If we had intended to do so, they'd be dead already!" the male Sea Monarch being chuckled in a derisive manner.
Shi Kun was enraged to the point of laughter upon hearing this, and he stepped forward with a menacing look on his face as he said, "What did you say? You sure can talk big! Hehe, let me see if your race is truly worthy of being known as one of the three great water races."
Chapter 1696: Profound Heavenly Holy Artifact
A ferocious look appeared on the Sea Monarch man's face upon seeing this, and he made a grabbing motion with a single hand, upon which the trident that was originally strapped to his back abruptly appeared in his hand amid a flash of blue light.
Immediately thereafter, arcs of silver lightning appeared around the sharp tips of the weapon, and it began to emanate an extremely astonishing aura.
"Wait!"
"Brother Shi, stop!"
Liu Shui'er and the seductive Sea Monarch woman exclaimed in unison.
Immediately thereafter, the Sea Monarch woman began to transmit her voice to her companion.
"Have you forgotten what we came here for? This is not the time to be engaging in unnecessary battles; we still have an important mission that we need to carry out."
The Sea Monarch man stopped cold in his tracks upon hearing this before transmitting his voice in reply, "We can just release the Nine-eyed Holy Whale and kill these three with ease!" He clearly didn't think that Han Li's trio could pose a threat to them at all.
"I've managed to persuade the Nine-eyed Holy Whale to accompany us, but it's best not to release it unless we absolutely have to. Otherwise, if we were to ask it to go into battle for us too many times, it could become enraged and turn on us. After all, I don't possess much of the royal bloodline within my body, so I can only just barely communicate with the holy whale. Besides, we may be allies of the Jiao Chi Race, but we're not direct enemies of the Heavenly Cloud Races; there's no need to engage in such a pointless battle," the Sea Monarch woman persuaded.
"I see..." The Sea Monarch man became rather hesitant upon hearing this.
At the same time, Liu Shui'er also transmitted her voice to Shi Kun.
"Brother Shi, we've just managed to shake off those Dark Beasts, and both of us have expended a lot of magic power. Those two Sea Monarch beings certainly aren't to be underestimated; even if we can take them down with Brother Han's help, there's no way we'd be able to emerge unscathed. Our main objective is to find the restricted ruins, so it's best not to draw unnecessary trouble to ourselves"
Shi Kun wore a dark expression on his face as he replied, "Even if we don't want to fight, they may not be of the same opinion."
"Rest assured, Brother Shi. Allow me to converse with them first, and if they really do harbor ill intentions and insist on a fight, we certainly won't have to fear them with Brother Han on our side." Liu Shui'er's voice also cooled slightly as she spoke.
After that, she transmitted her voice to Han Li and said something to him as well, in response to which Han Li nodded slowly in agreement.
After that, a smile appeared on Liu Shui'er's face, and she said in a pleasant voice, "Our Heavenly Cloud Races don't seem to have any direct conflict with your Sea Monarch Race, so there's no need for us to fight one another. I can tell that you're not entirely confident in your abilities to kill the three of us either, so why don't we just go our separate ways and pretend as if this encounter never happened?"
"My thoughts exactly, Sister. The two of us aren't Jiao Chi beings, so there's certainly no vendetta between us. In that case, we'll be taking our leave now," the Sea Monarch woman agreed as a vibrant smile appeared on her face.
After that, she turned to her companion with a meaningful look, and the white Qi encompassing her lower body swelled to sweep up the Sea Monarch man as well.
