Outside the White Emperor Pavilion, clouds and mist rise and cranes gather.

In high spirits, Elder Bai directly ordered people to set up an incense table and jade cauldron in the square in front of the pavilion, and summoned the dozen or so Nascent Soul elders and peak masters of Taiyi Sect who remained behind, to hold a grand and formal initiation ceremony for the ten newly joined Nascent Soul cultivators.

This move is of great significance and is not merely a formality.

Instead, it was a declaration to the entire Taiyi Sect, and even the entire cultivation world of the Great Jin Dynasty.

These ten Nascent Soul cultivators and the three sects of Yunmeng Mountain they represented were officially incorporated into the Taiyi Sect's system, protected by sect regulations, and required to bear sect responsibilities.

Cheng Tiankun, Lü Luo, Liehuo Laoguai, Jin Laoguai and the other nine Nascent Soul cultivators from Tiannan had never seen such a scene before.

The profound foundation of the Taiyi Sect, the large number of Nascent Soul cultivators present, and their powerful auras all made them feel suffocated by the pressure, but at the same time, they were extremely excited.

They stepped forward one by one, and under the gaze of countless eyes—some curious, some scrutinizing, some friendly, and some indifferent—they respectfully bowed to Elder Bai, swore an oath against their inner demons, and officially became guest elders of the Taiyi Sect.

When it was Han Li's turn, Old Ancestor Bai called him over and carefully examined him, his eyes filled with even more admiration.

"The formation of a Nascent Soul with four spiritual roots is extremely rare, both ancient and modern. Only Su Ning can compare. Character, perseverance, and opportunity are all indispensable. Good! Very good!" Old Ancestor Bai stroked his beard and laughed. "Su Ning has mentioned you to me many times, and seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary. Since you have already joined my Taiyi Sect, I will make an exception and accept you as a nominal disciple. Are you willing?"

A disciple under formal registration!

Although they are not as close as direct disciples, they still have the status of master and disciple!
This means that Han Li now has one of the strongest backers within the Taiyi Sect!

Moreover, it was proposed by the Nascent Soul Ancestor himself—what an honor!

A slight commotion suddenly arose in the square.

The gazes of many Taiyi Sect elders toward Han Li instantly changed, becoming more attentive and inquisitive.

Han Li was also shocked. He immediately suppressed his joy and respectfully knelt down to pay his respects: "Disciple Han Li greets Master! Thank you for your kindness, Master!"

"Hmm, get up." Old Ancestor Bai nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject, "However, since you come from Tiannan, you are most familiar with the situation of Yunmeng Mountain. I hereby appoint you as the temporary special envoy of Taiyi Sect, to be stationed at Luoyun Sect, to coordinate the affairs of the three sects of Yunmeng Mountain, to ensure its stability, and to ensure smooth communication with the sect headquarters. Are you capable of this?"

Han Li immediately understood that this meant he was being given actual control of the new territory of Yunmeng Mountain, which was both a sign of trust and a test.

Without hesitation, he replied, "This disciple will do his utmost to live up to Master's expectations!"

Old Master Bai's arrangement was truly shrewd and astute.

They not only gave Han Li a very high title and a powerful backer, but also temporarily placed him in Tiannan, thus preventing him from being immediately drawn into the complex factional struggles of the Great Jin headquarters.

At the same time, he can also use his abilities and relationship with Su Ning to firmly control the newly subjugated Yunmeng Mountain forces.

Next, the rewards announced by Elder Bai made all the new and old disciples present gasp in shock, especially Cheng Tiankun, Han Li and the other ten people, who almost thought they had misheard!

"From this day forward, Han Li, Cheng Tiankun, Lü Luo... and the other ten newly appointed elders are all free to enter and exit the first three floors of the Taiyi Sect's Scripture Pavilion! The internal cultivation techniques, secret arts, alchemy and weapon crafting manuals, and array and talisman manuals therein can all be exchanged for and read using contribution points!"

"In addition, each person will receive three times the usual amount of spirit stones and pills per month for early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and double the amount for mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators! This will continue for ten years to help you stabilize your cultivation and adapt to the cultivation environment of the Great Jin Dynasty as soon as possible!"

boom!
These words were like a boulder dropped into water, causing even greater ripples throughout the square!
The first three floors of the Sutra Repository!

That is the essence of Taiyi Sect accumulated over countless millennia!
Many of these techniques and secret arts would cause a bloodbath if they were released to the outside world!
Now it's completely open to them?
Although contribution points are required, the threshold is already incredibly low!

And there's the generous monthly resource allocation!

Triple, double!
The scale of this undertaking was so grand that even some of the native Nascent Soul elders of the Taiyi Sect couldn't help but feel envious and their hearts raced!
Cheng Tiankun, Liehuo Laoguai, and the others were so excited that they trembled all over. The last bit of resentment of being dependent on others vanished, leaving only boundless joy and relief!
Choosing to surrender was indeed the right decision!
They couldn't get this kind of treatment even after hundreds of years of arduous cultivation in Tiannan!

Han Li was also deeply shaken, feeling the arrogance of the top sects of the Great Jin Dynasty and the charisma of the Nascent Soul Ancestor.

With these resources, his cultivation speed will surely increase significantly!

"Thank you for your grace, Ancestor! We will serve the sect with all our might until our dying breath!" Led by Cheng Tiankun, the ten new elders bowed in unison, their voices trembling slightly with excitement.

Most of the Taiyi Sect cultivators on the plaza wore smiles, delighted by the sudden surge in their sect's strength.

However, amidst the celebratory atmosphere, one person's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

It was none other than Xuan Tianzi, the leader of the Taiyi Sect.

He stood at the front of the group of elders, barely maintaining a formulaic smile on his face, but his hands inside his wide sleeves were already clenched into fists, his nails almost digging into his flesh!

Ten Nascent Soul cultivators!

A full ten Nascent Soul cultivators!

It also comes with three sacred sites and an ultra-long-distance teleportation array!

This Suning...

How long have you been gone?
They actually managed to pull back such a massive force!
Once this force is fully integrated by Su Ning, how terrifying will its prestige and power within the sect become?

In addition to the Star Palace and Ling Yuling of the Chaotic Star Sea, he far surpasses Jin Kui, who was once his equal!
What alarmed him even more was that Bai Laozu's favoritism and trust in Suning were no longer concealed!
Such generous rewards to newcomers are certainly intended to win them over, but aren't they also adding wings to Suning's arsenal?
Han Li was even accepted as a disciple and sent to oversee Tiannan. He was clearly a vassal king that Su Ning had placed outside!

"Damn it!" Xuan Tianzi cursed inwardly, a strong sense of powerlessness and crisis sweeping over his body.

He originally wanted to find an opportunity to gradually clip Suning's wings, but now...

Suning has grown strong and powerful, and has even brought more and stronger henchmen!
This Su Ning is far more troublesome and terrifying than that straightforward Jin Kui!
He didn't take the path of internal struggle at all; instead, he brought in a massive force from the outside that was enough to overturn the internal structure!
Xuan Tianzi looked at Su Ning, who was surrounded by people and enjoying great glory, then at Bai Laozu, whose face was full of joy, and then at the new faces of Cheng Tiankun, Han Li and others, who were full of excitement and ambition. His heart turned cold.

He knew that from this moment on, the fate of the Taiyi Sect was truly about to change.

The era when his Xuan Tianzi lineage held absolute power is probably gone forever.

The days ahead will be even more difficult.

He must devise a new plan; otherwise, he will inevitably be completely marginalized by Suning, or even...

He dared not think any further, suppressing his deep fear and resentment deep in his heart, while the smile on his face appeared even more stiff and fake.

……

On this day, after Han Li finished dealing with all the affairs between the three sects of Yunmeng Mountain and Taiyi Sect, he had a rare moment of leisure and officially went to visit the Su family in the southeast of Zhenhuan Mountain Range.

Amidst a majestic mountain range, pavilions and towers were built against the mountainside, with flying eaves and brackets. A spiritual aura swirled in the air, and the light of the array appeared and disappeared intermittently, creating a magnificent spectacle.

The two gilded characters "Su Mansion" on the gate plaque are vigorous and powerful, faintly exuding the unique pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator, highlighting the extraordinary nature of the owner of this place.

"Who goes there?" The gatekeeper was actually a Golden Core cultivator. When he saw Han Li, this unfamiliar Nascent Soul cultivator, approaching, he was surprised but not flustered. He asked with respect and vigilance.

"Han Li from Tiannan Luoyun Sect has come to pay a visit to Senior Brother Su Ning," Han Li said calmly, introducing himself.

Upon hearing this, the Golden Core cultivator's expression immediately became extremely respectful: "So it is Ancestor Han who has arrived! The Supreme Ancestor had already instructed that if you arrive, there is no need to announce your arrival; please come in directly! This junior will now lead the way for you."

Passing through layers of restrictions and exquisite corridors and courtyards, Han Li was led to a quiet and secluded reception hall with the richest spiritual energy.

Soon, Suning, having received the news, came out to greet them with a smile.

"Junior Brother Han, what brings you here today? Have things settled down at the Scripture Pavilion?" Su Ning seemed to be in a good mood. He invited Han Luo to sit down, and immediately a beautiful maidservant served him spiritual tea and immortal fruits, all of which were rare treasures.

"Thanks to my senior brother, everything is on track." Han Li took a sip of tea, feeling the abundant spiritual energy within, and inwardly marveled at the profound foundation of the Su family.

"Su Mo, Su Yun, come and greet your Uncle Han."

"Su Mo and Su Yun greet Uncle Han."

A hint of surprise flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, are they really your and Mo Caihuan's sons?"

Su Ning followed his gaze and a rare, gentle smile appeared on her face: "That's right! Su Mo is now the head of the Su family, and his Daoist partners are all direct female cultivators from the Bai family."

He paused, his tone tinged with a touch of melancholy: "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, they're all grandfathers now."

Han Li was genuinely surprised upon hearing this.

He never expected that Su Ning had not only established such a large cultivation family in the Great Jin Dynasty, but also that his descendants were already capable of standing on their own and possessed such outstanding talents!
Su Mo is now at the early stage of Nascent Soul, and Su Yun has also reached the Pseudo-Core stage, which shows that the Su family has already established a firm foothold in the Great Jin Dynasty.

This is quite different from the image of Senior Brother Su that he remembered as a loner who was single-mindedly devoted to the Dao.

He couldn't help but sigh, "Senior brother, I never imagined... that your achievements over the years would be so extraordinary. Not only has your own cultivation reached the heavens, but you have also established such a vast foundation. I, your junior brother, am truly far behind you."

Upon hearing Han Li's praise, Su Ning's smile faded slightly, and a barely perceptible hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

He gently stroked the rim of the teacup, his voice lowering slightly: "It was all a matter of chance, a product of the times. It's just a pity... Caihuan... she ultimately couldn't see all of this..."

The atmosphere in the hall became slightly tense.

Han Li remained silent, knowing that the matter of Mo Caihuan was a pain that would forever remain in Su Ning's heart.

That gentle yet strong woman, who ultimately failed to attain the Great Dao, was one of the earliest and most important obstacles on Su Ning's path of cultivation.

He didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say, "She's gone now, but you must look forward, senior brother. The Su family is thriving, and your two nephews have bright futures. Miss Mo's spirit in heaven will be pleased."

Su Ning nodded, composed himself, and then smiled, "Let's not talk about that. As for you, you are now a Nascent Soul cultivator. It may be too early for you to establish your own sect, but finding a Daoist partner to inherit your bloodline is something you could consider."

Upon hearing this, Han Li shook his head with a wry smile: "The Great Dao is not yet complete, so I dare not be distracted."

He immediately changed the subject, asking a question that had been buried in his heart for a long time: "Senior brother, speaking of which, how exactly did you subdue that Wind-Splitting Beast Feng Xi? This demon was infamous in the Chaotic Star Sea back then, unruly and arrogant, and even had some irreconcilable grudges with... with me."

His tone was somewhat subtle when he mentioned Feng Xi.

Su Ning smiled, knowing that Han Li had always been curious about this, and said succinctly, "This matter is a long story with many implications. To put it simply, back then, after the Void Heaven Palace in the Chaotic Star Sea opened, the Star Palace's two saints plotted to ambush and kill Master Jin Kui."

"So the rumors were true? I heard some things from Zi Ling when we were in the Netherworld." Han Li was taken aback again.

“Yes, Master Jin Kui was actually a direct disciple of the Taiyi Sect of the Great Jin Dynasty. Many years ago, he was stranded in the Chaotic Star Sea for some reason, and then gradually rose to the position of Grand Elder of the Star Palace,” Su Ning explained. “At that time, I risked my life to save him from the hands of the two Saints of the Star Palace, but Master’s injuries were too severe and there was no way to save him. Before he passed away, he entrusted me with the Taiyi Sect’s token and a story from the past, instructing me to return to the Great Jin Dynasty and report the situation in the Chaotic Star Sea to the sect.”

Han Li was deeply shaken upon hearing this, never expecting such a twist in the story.

Su Ning continued, "After returning to the Great Jin Dynasty, I met with Ancestor Bai as instructed and reported the distribution of power and resources in the Chaotic Star Sea, especially the impending war between the Reverse Star Alliance and the Star Palace. The Taiyi Sect's higher-ups took this very seriously and, after careful planning and swift action, ultimately took advantage of the chaos within the Chaotic Star Sea to forcefully intervene."

"After several major battles, the landscape of the Chaotic Star Sea has been reshaped. Now, the entire Chaotic Star Sea is nominally under the control of the Taiyi Sect, and the Star Palace has become a secondary sect under its jurisdiction. As for Feng Xi…"

Su Ning's tone was calm, yet filled with absolute confidence, "With the tide turned against it and having witnessed the absolute disparity in strength, submitting to the stronger in exchange for survival and the possibility of further advancement was not a difficult choice for it. Subduing it naturally became a matter of course and an easy task." Han Li listened in silence for a long time, his heart filled with deep admiration.

It turns out that while he was quietly cultivating and struggling to form his Nascent Soul in Tiannan, Senior Brother Su was already making waves on a broader stage, even dominating the changes in the landscape of a distant sea area!

This level of skill, courage, and strength is indeed far beyond what he currently possesses.

In the end, all he could do was sincerely exclaim, "Senior brother... you're truly amazing!"

"Haha!" Su Ning laughed heartily, patting Han Li on the shoulder. "We're brothers, why bother with these formalities? Now, you, me, and that Zhang Tie fellow have all achieved the Nascent Soul stage. In this mortal realm, we're all considered figures of some importance. But this is far from the end!"

His expression turned serious, and his eyes revealed a sharp glint of pursuit of the Great Dao: "Although the lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator is long, it will eventually come to an end. Only by breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage, and even ascending to the Spirit Realm, can one glimpse the secret of longevity and appreciate the true scenery of the Great Dao! The road ahead is the real challenge. Junior brother, let us encourage each other!"

Han Li felt the passion and expectation in Su Ning's words, and his heart was filled with excitement. He nodded solemnly: "Senior Brother is absolutely right! The Nascent Soul realm is what we should all strive for! Han Li will definitely work hard in his cultivation and never fall behind!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

……

Then Han Li and nine other Nascent Soul cultivators, including Cheng Tiankun, returned to Tiannan Yunmeng Mountain via a teleportation array.

My state of mind is completely different now that I've returned.

With the Taiyi Sect and the Su family of the Great Jin Dynasty as his backers, abundant resources at his disposal, and himself being a Nascent Soul cultivator, he was extremely confident.

The slight feeling of being dependent on others that might have existed before has long been replaced by the broad prospects for the future. They have become more willing to manage the Yunmeng Mountain base well and serve their senior brother Su Ning (who is also Bai Laozu).

After returning, Han Li did not immediately make a high-profile move.

He first went into seclusion for a period of time to completely solidify his early Nascent Soul stage and also briefly browsed several powerful secret techniques he had exchanged from the Taiyi Sect's Scripture Pavilion, greatly increasing his strength.

After emerging from seclusion, the first thing he did was not to deal with sect affairs, but to leave Yunmeng Mountain alone and quietly.

His goal was clear—Yuanwu Kingdom, the Fu family.

In the past, Qi Yunxiao and his wife Xin Ruyin had been kind to him, especially Xin Ruyin, whose knowledge of formations was of great help to him.

The two were ultimately persecuted by the Fu family, a grudge that Han Li never forgot.

However, due to insufficient strength in the past and his subsequent journey to the Chaotic Star Sea, the matter has remained unresolved.

Now that he has reached the Nascent Soul stage, it is naturally time to settle this matter.

The Fu family of Yuanwu Kingdom, with their ancestor Fu Tianhua, a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, was considered a local overlord, dominating the country and causing chaos with no one daring to provoke them.

On this day, a terrifying spiritual pressure as vast as the sea suddenly descended upon the sky above Fujiabao without any warning!
A figure in cyan stood out from the air, coldly looking down at the well-arranged buildings below.

“The Fu family members, come out and face your deaths.”

His calm voice, however, was like a thunderclap from the heavens, resounding in the ears of every member of the Fu family.

The clan's protective formation activated instantly, but it shattered like a bubble with a casual flick of the opponent's wrist!
The Fu family patriarch, Fu Tianhua, flew out in utter terror, feeling the terrifying pressure far exceeding that of a Core Formation cultivator. He was so frightened that his soul almost left his body: "Senior...Senior...I don't know how my Fu family has offended you? Please..."

Before he could finish speaking, Han Li had already made his move.

He didn't even use any magic weapons; he simply pointed from afar.

Fu Tianhua, along with several Core Formation cultivators who rushed to the scene after hearing the news, instantly stiffened, their eyes quickly dimmed, as if their souls had been erased by an invisible force, and they fell straight down from the sky.

Killing a Nascent Soul cultivator is like crushing an ant!
Han Li scanned the entire Fu family with his divine sense, accurately identifying all those who bore the direct bloodline of the Fu family and were burdened with heavy karma, and killed them one by one.

He did not spare the other collateral relatives, disciples of other surnames, or ordinary people either; this time, it was a true annihilation of the entire family.

In the short span of an incense stick's time, the Fu family's top leaders, who had dominated the Yuanwu Kingdom for many years, were uprooted and their core strength was completely lost!

With his great revenge fulfilled, Han Li felt a weight lifted from his heart, without the slightest ripple of emotion.

Then it transformed into a streak of azure light and vanished, leaving behind only a completely fallen Fu family fortress, mired in endless panic, and a legend about a mysterious Nascent Soul cultivator's thunderous revenge, which quickly spread throughout the Yuanwu Kingdom and surrounding countries.

After settling his personal affairs, Han Li returned to Luoyun Sect and began to truly fulfill his duties as the special envoy of Taiyi Sect. He integrated the resources of the three sects, selected outstanding disciples, and maintained close contact with Dajin through the teleportation array. The strength of the three sects of Yunmeng Mountain began to steadily improve.

However, the peaceful days did not last long.

The political landscape of the Southern Continent has undergone dramatic changes due to the intervention of external forces.

On the Mulan Grassland, the Mulan mages, who had been locked in a stalemate with the four major powers of Tiannan (the Righteous Path, the Demonic Path, the Heavenly Path Alliance, and the Nine Kingdoms Alliance) for many years, unexpectedly received strong support from the Yinluo Sect of the Great Jin Dynasty!

He obtained a large number of cultivation techniques, elixirs, and powerful magical artifacts, causing his strength to skyrocket!

With the instigation and support of the Yinluo Sect, the Mulan sorcerers finally tore up the fragile peace agreement, assembled a large army, and brazenly marched south, launching an unprecedented invasion!

The first to be affected is the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, which borders the grasslands!
Caught off guard, the Nine Kingdoms Alliance suffered repeated defeats and heavy losses at the front lines, forcing them to urgently seek assistance from the Heavenly Alliance, the Righteous Path, and the Demonic Path.

In fact, the reason why the Yinluo Sect of the Great Jin Dynasty made its move ahead of schedule this time is mainly due to its connection with Su Ning.

It should be noted that the Yinluo Sect's supreme magic treasure, the Ghost Banner, was severely damaged by Su Ning, and a large number of cultivators' souls are urgently needed to repair it.

However, there is no one more suitable to incite a war between the Mulan Grassland and the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World, since the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World is far from the core of the Great Jin Dynasty and will not provoke any undesirable characters.

However, as the saying goes, "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold," and the major forces in Tiannan quickly reached a consensus to form a coalition army to fight against the Mulan Grassland.

As an important member of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and having just joined the Three Sects of Yunmeng Mountain under the Taiyi Sect of the Great Jin Dynasty, they naturally could not remain uninvolved.

After an emergency meeting among the high-ranking members of the three sects, it was decided that Han Li, the newly appointed special envoy of the Taiyi Sect and a Nascent Soul cultivator, and Elder Lü Luo of the Luoyun Sect would represent Yunmeng Mountain and lead a group of elite disciples from the three sects to the front lines of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance to provide support.

On the border battlefield, yellow sand filled the sky, and a murderous aura permeated the land.

The two armies of cultivators faced off, the light of spells and magical artifacts blotting out the sky, the sounds of fighting and explosions were incessant, and cultivators were falling every moment.

After Han Li and Lü Luo arrived, they did not get too involved in the melee between low-level cultivators. Their main task was to restrain the enemy's Nascent Soul level combat power.

Soon, Han Li attracted the attention of Mu Lan's side.

He was ruthless and decisive in his attacks, and his magical weapons were sharp (he used the newly refined Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword). In particular, his strange movement technique and the unpredictable Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder had a strong restraining effect on the spiritual arts of the Mulan mage and the few magical artifacts provided by the Yinluo Sect.

In a series of battles, Han Li fought against two opponents and single-handedly killed two Nascent Soul stage Grand Magisters of the Mulan Clan!

Such a feat immediately shook the entire battlefield!
The name "Han Li of the Luoyun Sect" began to spread rapidly among the high-level cultivators in Tiannan.

The Mulan side was both shocked and furious, while the Yinluo Sect's envoy felt utterly humiliated.

On this day, a sinister aura far exceeding that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators rose into the sky from within the Mulan camp!

A streak of light flew out, revealing a middle-aged woman dressed in black palace attire, with a beautiful face but a vicious expression.

She held a demonic banner shrouded in black mist, on which countless tormented and distorted faces of souls could be seen, emitting mournful howls.

"You brat! You killed my Mulan ally and ruined my Holy Clan's plans! Pay with your life!" the beautiful woman shouted, summoning the demonic banner in her hand.

The demonic banner grew as soon as it was exposed to the wind, transforming into a giant banner hundreds of feet long. Countless ferocious ghosts rushed out from it, among which were many souls of cultivators who had just died in battle. They were obviously being forcibly absorbed and refined by this banner!
This treasure is extremely powerful and malevolent, reaching the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm!
"It's the Ghost Banner of the Yinluo Sect!" exclaimed a knowledgeable Nascent Soul cultivator from Tiannan. "This woman is Madam Mo, the wife of the Yinluo Sect's Sect Master!"

Lu Luo's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly warned, "Junior Brother Han, be careful! This fiend has a notorious reputation, and its magical artifacts are vicious!"

Despite facing a formidable enemy, Han Li remained calm.

He could tell that the Ghost Banner seemed to be damaged and was repairing itself by devouring the souls of those on the battlefield, and that this treasure possessed extremely heavy Yin and evil energy.

"Perfect, I'll use you to test my sword!"

Instead of retreating, Han Li advanced, patted his dantian, and shouted in a low voice, "Go!"

It wasn't the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, but dozens of golden flying swords wreathed in golden arcs of electricity!
It is the Golden Thunder Bamboo Flying Sword!
After being refined again with the rare materials exchanged at Taiyi Sect and infused with his vast Nascent Soul stage magic power, its power is now incomparable to what it was before!

"Exorcising divine lightning! And there's so much of it?!" Madam Mo felt the pure yang energy that countered evil, and for the first time, a look of horror appeared on her beautiful face!
The Golden Thunder Bamboo Flying Swords formed a sword array, transforming into a golden sea of ​​thunder that instantly engulfed the thousands of fierce ghosts that rushed in!

The extremely yang and powerful exorcising thunder is the absolute nemesis of these evil spirits and ghosts. When the fierce ghosts touch it, they collapse and let out even more shrill screams before turning into green smoke and dissipating!

The Ghost Banner trembled violently, and large patches of the faces of the spirits on its surface dimmed and disappeared, clearly indicating that it had been severely damaged!

"You brat! How dare you destroy my magic treasure!" Madam Mo screamed in distress, frantically channeling her magic power in an attempt to retrieve the Ghost Banner.

"Destroy? I'll kill you too!"

A cold glint flashed in Han Li's eyes. Seizing the moment when the other party lost his composure, he silently shot out the invisible needles he had prepared in secret!

At the same time, he opened his mouth and spat out a ball of azure flame (an advanced form of the alchemical fire cultivated from the Azure Origin Sword Technique), which merged into the sword formation, causing thunder and fire to intertwine and the power to increase dramatically!

Madam Mo's attention was entirely focused on the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder that was suppressing her magic weapon. Caught off guard, her protective aura was easily pierced by the invisible needle!
"Pfft!"

With a soft sound, Madam Mo's body stiffened, and she looked down in disbelief at a tiny, almost invisible hole in her chest. Her nascent soul had been instantly shredded by the sharp sword energy from the invisible needle!
"You..." She only managed to utter one word before the light in her eyes completely dimmed, and her body fell from the sky.

Madam Mo, the sect leader's wife who held a high position in the Yinluo Sect and was infamous for her Ghost Banner, actually perished on the battlefield at the southern border!
Han Li reached out and swiftly took the dimly lit Ghost Banner and Madam Mo's storage bag into his pocket.

The entire battlefield fell into dead silence in an instant!
Whether they were cultivators from Tiannan, practitioners from Mulan, or cultivators from the Yinluo Sect hiding in the shadows, they all stared in disbelief at the calm, azure figure in the air.

He single-handedly killed two Grand Masters of the Mulan Sect, and then killed the wife of the Yinluo Sect Master!

After this battle, the name "Han Li" will no longer be limited to Tiannan; it will surely be spread back to the Great Jin Dynasty and shake the world!

With an undeniable and brilliant victory, he officially announced the rise of a formidable figure, and proved his value and strength to Taiyi Sect and Suning!

Meanwhile, Su Ning, who was far away at the Taiyi Sect in the Great Jin Dynasty, simply smiled slightly after receiving the battle report, as if he had expected it all along.

Only Xuan Tianzi, upon learning the news, turned even more somber, and crushed the jade cup in his hand to pieces.

To everyone's surprise, the unassuming Han Li was also so fierce, and he realized that his situation within the Taiyi Sect was becoming increasingly dangerous.

The White Ancestor's actions are now almost completely undisguised; he is plotting something with two other Nascent Soul Ancestors. It is obvious that the White Ancestor may be targeting him, the sect leader.
