The only thing that remained was that strange triangular copper mirror.
The massive azure bird's body abruptly shrank as it reverted back to its human form amid a flash of spiritual light.
After casting his gaze toward the copper mirror, Han Li raised a hand, and a burst of suction force erupted as he drew the treasure into his grasp.
He took a cursory glance at the treasure, but was unable to glean much from such a rushed inspection.
However, he was quite interested in this mirror. It was able to combine the magic powers of multiple beings and escape into space of its own accord, so it was clearly no ordinary treasure.
Han Li waved a hand through the air, and the mirror abruptly disappeared amid a flash of yellow light.
It appeared it had been worth expending some magic power to slay these devilish beasts.
With that in mind, Han Li didn't remain here for any longer as he flew deeper into the sea of mist as a streak of azure light.
Around an hour later, a gust of black devilish winds surged forth from afar.
The devilish winds then vanished right before the sea of mist to reveal a group of five devilish beasts.
The five-colored little beast cast its gaze toward the sea of mist, and said, "This is where the three of them disappeared."
Wary expressions also flashed through the eyes of the other four beasts upon hearing this.
"How could the three of them have disappeared one after another in such a short span of time? Could it be that they encountered some other difficulties along the way?" the snake-headed wolf beast speculated.
"I'm not too sure about that, but in any case, we have to focus and be more cautious from here onward," the small beast replied in an implacable voice with a shake of its head.
"Yes!"
The other four devilish beasts all lowered their heads in a respectful manner.
Immediately thereafter, the gust of devilish winds was swept up once again as all five beasts traveled into the sea of mist.
A few minutes, later, all five devilish beasts reappeared at the location where Han Li had slain Wu Qi, and they were inspecting their surroundings with bewilderment in their eyes.
One of the devilish beasts, which bore a strong resemblance to a duck with a single white horn on its head, abruptly flew downward as a streak of white light, vanishing from view in the blink of an eye.
This naturally drew the attention of the other devilish beasts, and all of them exchanged glances with one another.
Moments later, the devilish Qi down below surged, and the duck-like creature reappeared.
It had returned holding fist-sized fragments of bull horns in both of its webbed feet.
"These are fragments of the spirit horns on Master Wu Qi's head! How could they have been shattered? Could it be that they really have perished?" a tiger-like devilish beast murmured with a stunned expression on its face.
"It looks like the three of them really have been killed. Are we really chasing after such a powerful target?" the small five-colored beast mused as its eyes narrowed.
"What do we do next? That outsider's completely disappeared, and there's no way we'll be able to track him down," the snake-headed wolf said with a dark expression.
"Hmph, there's no way we'd continue this chase even if we could track him down. If he could kill Master Wu Qi and the others, then we'll be no match for him, either. Let's go back the way we came," the five-colored beast immediately decided.
"But that's not going to end well for us, either; Master will definitely be very displeased," another devilish beast countered in a wary voice.
Chapter 1652: Coincidental Acquisition
"Not to worry, it's not like we've actually just given up. We're going to gather everyone else, then set up an ambush at the exit. If that man wants to leave the Golden Devil Mountain Ranges, then we'll definitely encounter him again sooner or later," the five-colored beast replied after a brief hesitation.
The four other devilish beasts offered no objections, and all of them seemed to be quite obedient toward the small five-colored beast.
Thus devilish winds were swept up again, and the five devilish beasts returned the same way they'd come.
At this point, Han Li was already countless kilometers away, flying through the air while appraising his surroundings in a cautious manner.
Even though he'd successfully escaped from his pursuers, his brows were still slightly furrowed with concern.
After fleeing for over half a day, he'd completely diverged away from his original route, so he'd have to take another path if he wanted to return to the exit of the Golden Devil Mountain Ranges.
However, doing so would take him over unfamiliar territory, and it'd also incur the risk of encountering new devilish beasts.
However, compared with facing hundreds of mid-grade and high-grade devilish beasts at once, this risk was a much more preferable one for him to take.
Of course, the possibility that devilish beasts could blockade the exit did flash through his mind, but he quickly disregarded that train of thought. As long as no holy-grade devilish beasts appeared in his path, he'd be able to escape from them regardless of whether he was to use his High Zenith Invisibility Talisman or simply rely on his superior speed.
The most important thing now was whether Xian Xian had also managed to shake off her pursuers. If she were to perish in these mountain ranges, then the Heavenly Devilish Armor would have to remain in disrepair for the foreseeable future.
However, this wasn't something that he could control, either. Furthermore, from the methods that Xian Xian had employed to escape from those devilish beasts earlier, it seemed that she still had many more trump cards up her sleeve, so she'd most likely be fine.
As for that silver-armored man, Han Li would like nothing better than for him to die in these mountain ranges.
With that in mind, Han Li refocused his attention on his own journey.
Thus, the streak of azure light increased in brightness and also sped up significantly, disappearing into the distance after just a few flashes.
Han Li continued alone on his journey for a day and a night, encountering a few low-grade devilish beasts, all of which were slain by him with ease.
At present, Han Li was currently flying over a stretch of small hills, and most of the hills down below had been obscured within black devilish Qi, with only a series of summits visible from above.
All of a sudden, an earth-shattering boom erupted in the distance, causing the entire nearby area to vibrate audibly.
Han Li was naturally quite startled by this massive commotion, and he came to an abrupt halt before turning toward the direction where the sound had come from.
There, he discovered a vast expanse of crimson fiery clouds. Within those fiery clouds, balls of scorching white flames emerged before exploding to form waves of crimson flames.
Dull explosions rang out one after another, and it seemed that there was no end to them.
Han Li's eyelids twitched upon seeing this, and he didn't know what was happening over there, but it was quite clear that no ordinary Spatial Tempering Stage being would've been able to create such an astonishing spectacle.
Blue light flashed through Han Li's eyes a few times, and after a brief hesitation, he continued to fly in the same direction, even speeding up slightly on this occasion.
He had reaped many rewards from this trip to the Golden Devil Mountain Ranges already, and all he wanted to do now was to get out of this place as quickly as possible. As such, he wasn't interested in engaging in any activities that could incur unnecessary risks.
However, much to Han Li's surprise, despite his efforts to avoid trouble, trouble simply insisted on knocking on his door.
