However, this bullish green-haired being was overly confident in the power of his own body, and he refrained from evading any of Han Li's attacks as he engaged Han Li in battle in such a small area.
As such, Han Li's insane strength and Provenance True Devil Arts shone through immensely, thereby allowing him to crush his opponent with ease.
When the green-haired being finally realized that something was amiss and attempted to take evasive measures or summon other treasures, it was already too late. In the face of the Han Li's immense strength and Divine Essencefused Light, he was only able to just barely ensure self-preservation, so there was no way that he could retaliate.
At the sight of his companion being subdued by Han Li with ease, the silver-robed being's brows furrowed as crimson light flashed past his face, and the odor of blood and gore around him suddenly became more pronounced.
He slowly rose to his feet, seemingly preparing to make his way toward Han Li, and the expressions of elation on everyone's faces immediately stiffened upon seeing this.
The fact that he was completely unfazed even after witnessing Han Li's display of power indicated that he was far more powerful than his green-haired companion.
The elderly man narrowed his eyes as he cast his gaze toward the silver-armored being, as did Han Li, but he remained completely expressionless as he did so.
As the silver-armored being strode toward Han Li, the atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly became extremely tense.
All of the other beings on the third level looked on with wide unblinking eyes in anticipation of the potential fierce clash that was about to take place.
"Put your treasure away, Fellow Daoist. This is the Lightning Cloud Pavilion, and fighting is prohibited here. If you want to spar, then you can go to the arena in the town that has been built specifically for this purpose. Otherwise, all of you will be prohibited from entering the Golden Devil Mountain Ranges." An unfamiliar male voice had suddenly sounded from the staircase leading up to the fourth level, and the voice was quite a stern and unyielding one.
Han Li's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and the silver-armored being also faltered in his footsteps.
"It's the newly appointed Enforcer Min! Fellow Daoist Han, you should do as you're told," the elderly man hurriedly cautioned.
Han Li raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and he chuckled as he glanced at the green-haired being beneath the mountain, then made a grabbing motion toward the small mountain.
Thus, the small black mountain disappeared amid a flash of grey light as if it had been nothing more than a mirage, and the green-haired being immediately sprang to his feet with his face completely flushed from humiliation.
He let loose a low roar, and he opened his mouth to reveal a hint of yellow light shimmering within, seemingly about to attack Han Li again.
Han Li remained on the spot upon seeing this, and merely chuckled coldly in a derisive manner.
"Stop! You're no match for him; come back," the silver-armored being ordered in a cold voice.
"He only got me because he caught me off guard! I'm going to..." In his fit of thunderous rage, the green-haired being didn't want to listen to anyone.
The silver-armored being's expression darkened upon seeing this, and he asked in a cold voice, "Are you going against my orders?"
His voice wasn't very loud, but the green-haired being immediately shuddered as the fury on his place was replaced by horror, and he hurriedly replied, "I wouldn't dare!"
He then aimed a vicious glare at Han Li before walking away and sitting back down on his futon in an extremely foul mood.
"Seeing as you refuse to let Fellow Daoist Yue come with us, then so be it. From what I overheard earlier, it seems that you aren't going after the immortal zoysia anyway, so there's no direct conflict of interest between us. As such, I have no intention of fighting you here and needlessly wasting my magic power. However, if you dare to oppose me next time, then things won't end in such a peaceful manner!" the silver-armored being threatened in a menacing manner before also sitting back down on his futon.
Han Li merely stroked his chin with a smile and remained silent upon hearing this.
The elderly man and everyone around him heaved a collective sigh of relief.
At this point, the woman in the palatial dress had naturally realized that she'd completely misjudged Han Li, and she smiled at him as she prepared to say something, but at this moment, Enforcer Min's voice rang out from upstairs again.
"Aside from upper race beings of the eighth and ninth tiers, all those who want to enter the Golden Devil Mountain Ranges must pass the examination. Those of you who want to enter the mountain ranges can come upstairs now, but only two at a time."
Enforcer Min's voice was extremely calm, but his words immediately created a stir among the beings gathered on the third level.
Everyone glanced at one another before a pair of beings rushed up the staircase one after another, disappearing from view in the blink of an eye.
One of them was a mid-Deity Transformation Stage being while the other was at the early-Spatial Tempering Stage. Neither of them belonged to the elderly man's faction, nor the silver-armored being's faction.
The other beings were all quite disappointed that they hadn't reacted quickly enough.
After all, getting a Lightningbane Umbrella earlier could only be better than getting one later.
As things stood now, the remaining beings could only wait. Some of them were focusing intently on trying to hear what was going on upstairs so they could perhaps ascertain the nature of the examination.
However, either a restriction had been set up upstairs or the examination was completely silent; in any case, no one could hear even the slightest sound from upstairs.
This was rather disheartening to the beings who were craning their necks and listening intently.
The duration of the examination wasn't very long, but it wasn't all that short, either. After a full hour had passed, one of the beings finally came down from upstairs.
Everyone immediately turned toward him in unison to find that his clothes were in tatters, and that he was carrying a few injuries, seemingly having just endured a battle with something.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu, what was the examination about? Did you get a Lightningbane Umbrella?" one of his acquaintances immediately asked.
"I did pass the examination, but Enforcer Min has prohibited me from revealing any details about the examination. Otherwise, my Lightningbame Umbrella will be stripped away. Also, everyone who has undergone an examination has to leave this place immediately, regardless of whether they've passed or not, so I have to go on ahead now," the slightly disheveled man replied in an ambiguous manner before hurrying downstairs without any hesitation.
As such, the other people who intended to ask him questions could only sit back down in a sheepish manner.
A short while later, the other person also walked down the staircase in a dejected manner.
In contrast with the one who had emerged before him, this being of a lower cultivation base remained completely unscathed, but he seemed to be in low spirits.
He didn't pause even for a single moment on the third level before continuing downstairs.
After witnessing such a bizarre scenario, everyone suddenly became rather reluctant to take the examination early, and they all glanced at one another with hesitant expressions on their faces, clearly hoping that others would take the plunge before them.
"I'm ready for the next two people!" Enforcer Min urged from upstairs.
Han Li looked around to find that no one had risen to their feet, so he stood up with a smile and headed directly toward the staircase.
However, after taking a few steps, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, indicating that someone else was also following him.
