色l情午夜片久久

Chapter 1051: Exposed?

As these thoughts were running through Han Li\'s mind, he summoned his Mantra Treasured Axis, which began revolving rapidly, releasing countless golden ripples that instantly filled the surrounding area in a radius of over ten thousand feet.

The surrounding ball of blue light immediately fell completely still. Lan Yuanzi was trying to free himself from Han Li\'s spiritual sense chain, but the golden ripples were too fast, and they washed over him before he could free himself, rendering him completely immobilized.

Meanwhile, Han Li flew out of the ball of blue light with ease, arriving in front of Lan Yuanzi before pressing his fingers into Lan Yuanzi\'s head, yet right as he was about to crush his skull, he suddenly stopped what he was doing.

He turned to look in the direction that Lan Yan had just fled in, then looked back at Lan Yuanzi, and an image of his little sister surfaced in his mind.

He heaved a forlorn sigh as the killing intent drained out of his body, and he pressed a hand against Lan Yuanzi\'s lower abdomen, releasing five burst of time law powers that formed five-elemental seal in Lan Yuanzi\'s dantian, sealing away all of his immortal spiritual power.

The sealing secret technique enclosed in the Great Five Elemental Illusion Mantra could be used on both himself and others.

After that, Han Li removed Lan Yuanzi\'s storage ring from his finger, then scoured his spiritual sense over Lan Yuanzi\'s entire body to ensure that he wasn\'t hiding anything, following which he withdrew his Mantra Treasured Axis, and all of the nearby golden ripples immediately faded away.

The ball of blue light conjured up by Lan Yuanzi also quickly vanished, and his body began to plummet out of the sky, but Han Li caught him before slowly descending to the ground.

At this point, Lan Yan had already fled out of his spiritual sensory range, and some of her residual aura was still left behind, but the chances of catching up to her were rather slim.

Even though this place didn\'t seem to be all that dangerous, it struck him with a sense of foreboding for some reason, so he didn\'t forge ahead recklessly.

"What a powerful sealing technique. No wonder you\'ve been able to evade the Heavenly Court for so long. I\'ve been defeated fair and square," Lan Yuanzi grinned.

"You\'re quite a brave man to still be able to smile at a time like this," Han Li remarked.

"I am completely at your mercy right now, and I doubt that you\'ll be more inclined to spare me if I act all miserable, so I may as well keep up a good mood in what could quite possibly be my final moments," Lan Yuanzi replied in a nonchalant manner.

A hint of approval toward Lan Yuanzi welled up in Han Li\'s heart upon hearing this, but his expression remained unchanged as he said in a cold voice, "I have a few questions for you. If you don\'t want me to search your soul, then answer them truthfully."

"Go ahead," Lan Yuanzi replied in a very cooperative manner.

"Why were you and your sister sent to the Golden Origin Immortal Region? To capture me?" Han Li asked.

"We did indeed come here to capture you under orders from Immortal Lord Miao Fa, and at the same time, we were tasked with recovering a treasure from you that originally belonged to our Nine Origins Temple. I\'ve heard that it\'s a time-attribute immortal treasure in the form of a small, green vial," Lan Yuanzi replied without any hesitation, and Han Li\'s heart immediately jolted slightly upon hearing this.

The Heaven Controlling Vial had always been his deepest secret, yet it seemed like he wasn\'t going to be able to keep this secret hidden any longer.

"How does the Nine Origins Temple know that I\'m in possession of this vial?" Han Li asked.

"I\'m not sure about the exact details, but I heard that they extrapolated that from a Creation Crystal that came from you," Lan Yuanzi replied.

A look of realization instantly appeared in Han Li\'s eyes upon hearing this, following which he continued, "Did the Vast Golden Immortal Palace send anyone else after me aside from you and your sister?"

"No, we were the only two sent by Immortal Lord Miao Fa. Our combined powers are comparable to those of a Great Encompassment cultivator, so we had thought that we would be able to easily defeat you, but we\'ve truly been humbled," Lan Yuanzi replied with a wry smile.

Han Li was slightly reassured upon hearing this, and he asked a few more questions, all of which Lan Yuanzi answered without any hesitation.

After asking all of the questions that he wanted to ask, Han Li stood in silence as he cast his gaze into the distance, seemingly contemplating something.

Lan Yuanzi stood silently off the side, making no attempt to interrupt him.

All of a sudden, Han Li raised a hand before tapping a finger against Lan Yuanzi\'s glabella, and a burst of translucent light shot out of his fingertip, knocking Lan Yuanzi unconscious before he had a chance to react.

After that, Han Li turned to the space beside him and asked, "Did he tell any lies just now, Weeping Soul?"

"No. I detected no abnormalities in his soul fluctuations while he was answering your questions, so he was telling the truth," Weeping Soul replied, and Han Li nodded in response.

Even though he had developed a fondness for Lan Yuanzi for his character, if he had been caught lying just now, then Han Li would\'ve killed him and searched his soul without any hesitation.

"Wouldn\'t it have been much easier to just let me search his soul? Why did you go to the trouble of interrogating him?" Weeping Soul asked as she emerged from the door of silver light.

"It\'s clear that he and Lan Yan are extremely close, so I\'m sure she\'ll come back for him, and once that happens, I\'ll be able to use him to my advantage," Han Li replied as he tossed the unconscious Lan Yuanzi into the Flower Branch domain.

"Even the two of them combined were no match for you. Now that Lan Yan\'s on her own, she doesn\'t pose any threat at all! If she dares to come back, then we\'ll capture her as well," Weeping Soul said as she raised her delicate fist.

"Don\'t get complacent. It\'s true that Lan Yan poses no threat to me, but right now, Qi Mozi is also in this immortal manor, and both of them are from the Heavenly Court, so we could be in some trouble if they join forces with each other," Han Li said.

"That\'s true," Weeping Soul replied with a contemplative nod, while Han Li began to inspect the surrounding area.

He had pursued the Lan siblings deep into the crimson desert, and he was currently in an area that was riddled with massive sand dunes that resembled short mountains.

Furthermore, there were countless thorny red plants growing on the sand dunes, and there were also some living creatures here, like lizards and scorpions, but none of them were demon beasts.

Weeping Soul also began to scour the surrounding area, and all of a sudden, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Have you detected something?" Han Li asked.

Given Weeping Soul\'s special physical constitution, she was prone to making some interesting discoveries at times.

"There\'s a very strong aura of death and resentment here, so make sure to proceed with caution from here onward, Master," Weeping Soul replied with a solemn expression.

"I\'ve also been getting a sense of foreboding from this place. The stone plaque next to the gate that we passed through earlier had the number \'two\' written on it. Could it be that this is the second level of the Eon Pagoda?" Han Li speculated.

"That\'s very likely. From the outside, it doesn\'t appear as if the Eon Pagoda is segment into levels, but my observation tells me that the pagoda is, in fact, split up into seven levels. I wonder why Immortal Lord Tai Sui constructed this pagoda," Weeping Soul mused.

"In any case, let\'s do some scouting for now," Han Li said as he swept a sleeve through the air to release a burst of azure light, smoothing out the signs of battle in the nearby area before flying away in a certain direction.

As for Weeping Soul, he decided to have her remain by his side instead of sending her back into the Flower Branch domain.

Close to half a day flew by in a flash.

The crimson desert was astonishingly massive, and Han Li was still flying through it with no end in sight.

All of a sudden, Weeping Soul called out to him before descending in a certain direction, and Han Li immediately followed along.

The two of them quickly landed in front of a sand dune, and Weeping Soul swept a sleeve through the air to release a burst of black light that sliced the sand dune into two, revealing the skeletal remains of what appeared to have been a giant lizard..

The skeleton was several dozen feet in size, and it was riddled with cracks from wind erosion, looking as if it could shatter at any moment.

Han Li had already discovered this skeleton with his spiritual sense, but he hadn\'t noticed anything amiss about it, so he asked, "Is there something special about this skeleton?"

"How many years do you think this skeleton has been here for, Master?" Weeping Soul asked.

"The lizards here aren\'t demon beasts, but they still possess bodies far more resilient than those of normal lizards. The fact that the skeleton has been eroded to such an extent tells me that it has to have already been here for at least several hundred years," Han Li analyzed.

"This lizard has only been dead for no more than a decade," Weeping Soul said with a shake of her head.

"What? How do you know that?" Han Li asked with an incredulous expression.

"All living beings possess souls, and these souls will dissipate once something is dead, but some residual soul power will cling to their remains and only completely fade once enough time has passed. The soul power clinging to this skeleton is still quite abundant, so from that, I can determine that it died quite recently," Weeping Soul explained.

"I see," Han Li replied with an intrigued expression.

Even with his tremendous spiritual sense, he was unable to detect the soul power clinging to this skeleton, so it was clear that Weeping Soul had far superior sensitivity to souls than he did.

"In that case, how has its body already been eroded to this extent?" Han Li asked.
