Chapter 283 Who could have imagined? This is no small sum! (Please subscribe!)
Wei Wuyai arrived two days later.

Prior to this, Han Li's attacks had never stopped.

However, the old monsters of the Hehuan Sect also came up with a solution: they abandoned the mountain-protecting formation and quickly set up a powerful formation covering a small area of ​​one or two miles to reduce the area affected by the force.

Ever since.

The sect's main hall area, spanning two to three hundred feet, became the last pure land, with its exquisite and magnificent palaces.

Tens of thousands of people crowded into the main hall area.

The ordinary disciples sat cross-legged one after another, using their magic power to channel spiritual energy into the protective array outside, while simultaneously regulating their breathing, meditating, and absorbing the spiritual energy from the spirit stones to restore their own magic power.

Promising talents, direct descendants of sects, and core members of families retreated into the main hall protected by layers of restrictions.

The entire Hehuan Sect, along with several Nascent Soul stage cultivators from other sects, made their final stand by relying on the shrunk and even more robust forbidden array, as well as the layers of defensive restrictions that were already present in the main hall area.

At this time, everyone from the Nascent Soul stage to the Qi Refining stage was contributing spirit stones from their own pockets to power the formation.

The protective array below shattered instantly.

This then revealed a large area that had been abandoned.

It also presents a scene of cultivators gathering in the sect's palace complex.

Han Li's pupils shimmered with blue light. After vaguely witnessing the true scene unfolding before the Hehuan Sect through his Clear and Bright Spiritual Eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly:
"Ha, that's quite a dream..."

"Do you think you can just wait out Wei Wuyai like this?"

He smiled lightly.

He then sent a telepathic message to Manhuzi, Qingyi, and Yinyue.

Upon hearing this, Qing Yi nodded slightly, almost imperceptibly.

The next moment, Han Li took out the Soul Refining Gourd and released the Soul Refining Wind, which could interfere with divine sense, forcing the Supreme Yang Master and the demonic cultivators to retreat.

It forced them out to a height of ten thousand feet.

In that instant, Qingyi's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.

A moment later, it returned to its original position.

of course.

This Qingyi may not actually be the real Qingyi Layman.

"Fellow Daoist Han, what's going on?"

Zhiyang, who had transformed into a streak of light and retreated into the distance, frowned slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Zhiyang, it would be best to keep the demonic cultivators away from the area where my spirit beasts are undergoing tribulation. It's safer for us to maintain a safe distance from these demonic cultivators."

Han Li said calmly.

After pondering for a moment with furrowed brows, Zhiyang quickly relaxed his brows and gently nodded.

"Fellow Daoist is right."

Maintaining a safe distance is essential at such a sensitive time.

He was also worried about being used as a pawn by the demonic forces.

In other words, he couldn't be more eager to get away from it.

Therefore, he decisively took the opportunity to back down and withdrew from the hundred-mile radius covered by the lightning tribulation in one go to show his sincerity.

The demonic cultivators could only grit their teeth in silence.

The old monsters, including the Hehuan Old Demon, have some heading towards the Nine Kingdoms Alliance. They should quickly contact Wei Wuyai.

Someone was accompanying Master Zhiyang, watching Han Li from afar through the layer of gale-force winds.

Others went to call on their friends and use their connections to prepare for the negotiations, intending to put pressure on Han Li and his group at the negotiating table.

At this time, much less attention was being paid to the situation at the Hehuan Sect's mountain gate.

Upon seeing this, Han Li couldn't help but chuckle and curl the corners of his lips.

Under his deliberate intervention, a figure invisible to the naked eye and extremely difficult to detect with divine sense emerged from the Great Geng Sword Formation and silently fled more than a hundred miles away from another direction.

"This distance is definitely enough."

A great cultivator's clear perception range is over a hundred miles, but to perceive Qing Yi after the nameless concealment technique and stealth technique are combined, it is difficult to detect him even if the distance exceeds two or three miles, let alone more than a hundred miles.

Moreover, the Soul Refining Wind had just weakened the divine senses of two great cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths.

"Qingyi, we have enough time. Take your time, there's no rush."

Han Li murmured to himself.

Barbarian Beard glanced at the "Qingyi Hermit" who had transformed from the silver moon, marveling at it:

"Sect Master, your spirit fox's illusionary techniques are truly superb. Even at such close range, I couldn't tell the difference between the real and the fake!"

"Moreover, to possess the ability to transform into human form at only level seven, impressive, impressive..."

He can be described as exceptionally gifted.

"It's just a little illusion technique, not worth mentioning."

Han Li waved his hand.

The real power of Silver Moon lies in the fact that, as the spirit of the Golden Magnetic Bee Cloud Sword, it is impossible for outsiders to kill it in one go.

If the Golden Magnetic Bee Cloud Sword remains intact, Silver Moon's soul will possess the characteristic of immortality once or twice.

However, each time it dies and is resurrected as a sword spirit within the flying sword, it suffers a great loss of vital energy. Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, even the sword spirit cannot withstand it and there is a possibility that it will dissipate.

The reason why Silver Moon willingly transformed from the spirit of the Wolf-Headed Jade Ruyi into the sword spirit of the Golden Magnetic Bee Cloud Sword is largely due to this.

"Alright, Elder, let's have some tea and wait for the Second Elder's good news."

Han Li raised his glass.

The bearded man grinned.

...

the other side.

A figure quietly appeared at the Hehuan Sect, which was being bombarded by the continuous tribulation lightning and enveloped by the tribulation lightning orbs that exploded and expanded to hundreds or thousands of feet in size.

This person carried several lightning-absorbing beads with him that did not contain stored tribulation lightning.

therefore.

Even if you are hit head-on by several lightning beams from the Thunder Whale Cannon, you will not be seriously injured.

Moreover, this person's reaction speed is extremely fast, making it impossible for him to fail even when someone is intentionally letting him off the hook.

The visitor was none other than Qingyi Jushi.

Infiltrating the Hehuan Sect, whose protective barriers had been largely destroyed by violence, was not difficult at all.

Upon entering the mountains, the first things to target were: dozens of sect medicinal herb gardens, spirit wood areas, sect secret vaults, and other areas.

Tian Buque had already told Han Li and the others where the treasures of the Hehuan Sect were located. The information they had gathered from the Soul Search, including the map of the Hehuan Sect, its restrictions and traps, and some changes that Sect Master Tian had learned about during the previous Soul Search, all played a very important role now.

after all.

The information revealed by the sect leader after his soul was searched is still quite valuable.

While passing by a pharmaceutical industrial park.

Qingyi's eyes lit up.

There are about twenty plots of land here.

Each spiritual field, ranging from several acres to tens of acres, is planted with spiritual herbs and medicines.

"We can't afford to get caught in the lightning strikes!"

"You have to be quick."

Although Han Li knew about the arrangements of the Hehuan Sect's inner sect.

But he might not be able to pinpoint the exact distance to a foot or two.

At this point, Qingyi had to step in.

The monk in the green robe was extremely efficient.

In the blink of an eye, a medicinal herb that was hundreds of years old was put into the storage bag.

A little over 25 minutes later, all the rare, precious, and older medicinal herbs in this medicinal herb garden were safely stored in storage bags.

Qingyi harvested only about two thousand of the more valuable medicinal herbs, including about ten that were a thousand years old.

And this is just a small medicinal garden on the outermost edge of the Baili Hehuan Sect.

"There are another twenty or thirty such medicinal herb gardens."

“There are forty or fifty better medicinal herb gardens.”

"The sect leader is indeed wise and powerful."

this moment.

The Green-Robed Hermit's admiration for Han Li reached a new height.

He finally understood why Master Zhiyang could only give him half the face.

With the accumulated resources of the Hehuan Sect over the years, they will be able to avoid many detours in the future.

The wealth gained from this land grab alone can save years of accumulation.

"continue."

Another medicinal herb garden.

He reaped considerable rewards.

After that, the deeper they searched, the more valuable and abundant their finds became.

As he passed through a dense forest heavily fortified, he saw dozens of ancient spiritual trees, each ten thousand years old, and hundreds of ancient spiritual trees, ranging in age from a thousand to several thousand years.

"Such spiritual materials must not be destroyed by tribulation lightning. I will do a good deed and rescue these innocent spiritual trees that are in dire straits." The old man took out a restriction token and muttered as he made hand seals.

The token was indeed Sect Master Tian's sect master token.

Thank you, Master Tian.

What a good man.

then.

He became a "logger".

They uprooted all the thousand-year-old and ten-thousand-year-old spiritual trees on the top mountain.

I didn't waste time on anything less than a thousand years old.

Gardens of medicinal herbs.

A stretch of spiritual wood area.

When he passes by the caves of some cultivators and sees rare spiritual herbs, he will also rescue those innocent little ones.

He is a kind-hearted person.

Several hours later, after the outer perimeter was completely looted, they began to venture deeper into the area.

His stealth and concealment were very well done.

Furthermore, the constant bursts of lightning nearby provided cover, denying the outer and inner circle of Hehuan Sect cultivators any opportunity to observe him. In addition, he carried a special sensing artifact and several lightning-absorbing beads, making his infiltration extremely smooth.

Even after several hours, no one realized he was there.

However, the rare medicinal herbs deepest inside had already been harvested before him. Now, only some scraps that hadn't been dug up remained.

This is clearly the work of the higher-ups in the Hehuan Sect.

"They're not slow at all."

This was within his and Han Li's expectations.

It would be strange if the higher-ups of the Hehuan Sect hadn't dug up the rare medicinal herbs beforehand.

"Although you acted quickly, there are some places where even if the sect's higher-ups wanted to move the items, it might not be enough time."

Qingyi looked toward Sect Master Tian's cave dwelling.

Sect Master Tian's Daoist partner did not share a cave dwelling with him; rather, they lived in separate cave dwellings. This meant that after Sect Master Tian's accident, his Daoist partner could not freely enter or leave that cave dwelling area.

Also.

The situation was similar in Tian Pangzi's cave.

There's also the sect's secret vault.

The sect's secret vault, alchemy pavilion, weapon pavilion, and talisman pavilion are not located in the main palace complex area.

The main palace complex area is where the council hall is located and also where the largest square is situated; its symbolic significance outweighs its practical significance.

The sect's secret vault, serving as a storage place for various materials within the sect, was built on a separate mountain, like the Dan Pavilion and the Qi Pavilion, not on the mountain where the main hall was located. These places held more practical significance than symbolic meaning.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, the Hehuan Sect has many mountain peaks that are hundreds or even thousands of feet high.

In those places, are there any "fish that slipped through the net"?
Especially the sect's secret vault.

The area has been encircled and restricted by successive Grand Elders and Sect Leaders, requiring either a Sect Leader's token or a Grand Elder's token to enter or exit. Some items can only be retrieved with the corresponding token in hand, and some even require both tokens to be present simultaneously to obtain them.

"The two members of the Tian family were captured by the sect leader, and the token is now in my hands. Meanwhile, the Old Demon Hehuan is outside the mountain gate, with Venerable Zhiyang..."

The Grand Elder of the Hehuan Sect had finally escaped the lightning strike zone, so naturally he wouldn't risk returning to be struck by lightning again after suffering a great loss of energy.

"Without the sect leader's token and the grand elder's token, these two specially made access tokens, the Nascent Soul elders in the sect should not be able to open the restrictions on the secret vault."

"Even with the token of the Old Demon of Hehuan, it's impossible to take everything inside."

Just as Qingyi had predicted.

When he entered the secret vault, the dazzling array of items caught his eye.

So many treasures.

Although the counter where spirit stones were stored had been completely ransacked, and the spirit stones that had been piled up there for many years had disappeared, leaving a large empty space, the remaining items still shone brightly and smelled of medicinal herbs.

Of these, one-third of the shelves were empty.

But two-thirds of the shelves were still full of items.

The barrier light screen that has not yet been broken can be seen on it.

At the same time, he also caught another petty thief, a middle-aged man in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, who was anxiously holding the Grand Elder's token.

Qingyi met the other person's gaze and saw the surprise and wariness in their eyes.

They immediately realized who this person was.

Without hesitation, he immediately went all out to carry out the task.

Hundreds of Azure Needles flew out from his sleeve, mixed with the top-tier ancient treasure, the Forget-Worry Needle.

He doesn't need living prisoners right now, only ashes scattered to the winds.

"You actually possess the sect leader's token? What have you done to Senior Brother Tian?"

The middle-aged man roared angrily.

The response to this person was a faint murmur, followed by a dense barrage of flying needles, like a curtain of rain.

Once he made his move, Qing Yi could no longer conceal his aura.

The initial anger of the Hehuan Sect cultivators who sensed that aura vanished, replaced by a wave of fear:

"Middle Nascent Soul?!"

This person's reaction was not slow; he quickly activated his defensive magic weapon and erected a protective light barrier around his body.

But the space here is only so big, there's not much room to dodge or retreat.

The two sides have no choice but to confront each other head-on.

then.

Just for a moment.

The winner was decided!

It also determined life and death!

The middle-aged Yuan Chu cultivator's magical shield and protective light barrier were as fragile as paper, easily pierced and riddled with holes by Qing Yi's Qingming Needles and Forget-Me-Not Needles.

The nascent soul didn't even have time to escape before it died inside the body.

"So weak."

"wrong…"

"I've become so much stronger!"

Qingyi sighed softly.

After being strengthened by a piece of refined crystal and a small piece of Gengjin, the Azure Nether Needle's sharpness and penetrating power increased dramatically, and its hardness became virtually indestructible. In addition, the Azure Nether Needle had been nurtured by him for three or four hundred years, so its power was already quite remarkable. Furthermore, it was being fully activated by the profound magical power of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Furthermore, the hidden top-tier ancient treasure, the Forget-Worry Needle, is even more insidious than his Azure Nether Needle.

The Nascent Soul cultivator in front of me, whose Nascent Soul stage is no more than two hundred years old, has probably never seen such a powerful flying needle magic weapon before. It would be strange if he could withstand it head-on.

With a wave of his hand, he took the dozen or so storage bags from the other party's waist and sleeves. Then, he scanned the inside of the storage bags with his divine sense, and his breathing became a little heavier.

This person must have come to move the sect's secret vault.

Even with the Grand Elder's token in hand, one still needs to remove the restrictions from each counter one by one.

Normally, there wouldn't be any problem at all.

But at this moment, he really got himself into trouble.

With the secret vault gate closed, how can one know the situation outside?
After breaking through all the restrictions and loading all the necessary supplies, they were ready to leave when they discovered that the mountain-protecting formation had been destroyed and the secret vault was already shrouded in tribulation lightning. With his early Nascent Soul cultivation level, he simply could not leave safely!

If one were to grit their teeth and break free from the protective barrier of the secret vault to force their way into the lightning-infested area outside, they would be severely injured, if not killed.

In that case, we might as well stay here and guard it.

It would be good to buy some more time by leveraging the layers of restrictions in the sect's secret vault.

Perhaps if we delay any longer, the external situation will change again?
This person's idea, in a normal situation, is not wrong.

No matter what.

Han Li and his group did not play by the rules at all.

Who would have thought that Qingyi could force his way into the lightning strike zone with the Lightning Absorbing Pearl?

Who would have thought that even a great cultivator could be fooled by Silver Moon's illusionary abilities?

They never expected that, after combining the Nameless Concealment Technique with Qing Yi's Stealth Technique, even powerful cultivators who were a little further away could not detect Qing Yi's aura.

"Sent!"

The accumulated reserves of the Hehuan Sect over countless years are no small amount.

 I can't update tonight.

  I need to go to another city.

  My good friend's father drank too much and suffered a stomach hemorrhage. He passed away early this morning; it was so sudden. The funeral is tomorrow.

  I need to go see him.

  too suddenly.

  My uncle is a very nice person. I stayed at his house for a while when I was studying. I never expected this.

  Drinking alcohol is harmful.
