Han Clan Immortals: I have a hundredfold energy-gathering bottle

After reading the letter, Han Jieliu's expression was somewhat complicated, and he let out a long breath.

"So it was all planned. No wonder the cave that emerged from the lake belonged to a cultivator on the [Cold Qi] path, just like the one that the young man cultivated. What a coincidence there is in this world."

"The snake demon just left, presumably because of this matter."

It turns out that there was such a secret hidden in Linjiang County. Fortunately, I did not go to the cave to explore it, but was lured here instead.

The snake demon deliberately left this letter, presumably as a secret warning to himself not to go to that cave.

"Since that's the case, I'll stay for two more days to avoid trouble."

Han Jieliu sat quietly on the stone platform, calming his mind and digesting the gains of the past few days.

------

Guanglu Lake, north shore.

The emergence of the Foundation Establishment Cave caused a tremendous phenomenon, almost turning the climate of the entire northern shore into winter.

The lake was covered with ice, the trees were covered with jade branches, and snow and frost flowers were falling everywhere; everything that should be there was there.

Above the cave, a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a dark yellow body, radiating the light of the Earth element, stood floating in the air, exuding an aura of power.

It was driving the giant stele down, slowly eroding the great formation outside the cave.

This person was none other than the Foundation Establishment Ancestor who had come from Leijun City from Xiaowei Mountain. Looking behind him, a Wu Mountain had already appeared.

The long, wide, and precipitous peaks of the Wutu Mountain seemed to pierce into the glow of the sunset behind it, causing the seven-colored light of the sky to scatter and leak out, falling to the ground and instantly turning into thick ice.

We've been working on breaking through their formation for two days now, and we've reached a crucial point.

This forced even the Foundation Establishment Ancestor to take things seriously, and he used his Immortal Foundation to enhance the magical artifact in his hand.

Beneath him were three spirit boats, each carrying disciples of Xiaowei Mountain, all looking up to observe and awaiting the ancestor's breakthrough of the formation.

Meanwhile, on the distant sandbar of the lake, many independent cultivators were watching from afar, waiting for their chance to act.

"Brother Qi Yuan, look, these rogue cultivators outside are like wolves that have smelled blood... Not one of them has left in the past two days, but their numbers are only increasing, keeping a close eye on this place."

At the Xiaoweishan outpost, on a light blue spirit boat at the stern, a young girl grumbled in dissatisfaction, gazing through the boat at the scattered figures in the distance.

The senior brother standing in front of the boat, with a thin face, smiled after hearing her words.

"Junior Sister Qi Yun, there must be a reason why the sect decided to send us here."

"The outer array of this cave is very strong. Even Elder Guo took several days to break it. The original owner of this cave was probably at least at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in his lifetime."

"Such an opportunity is rare even for us sect cultivators, so these rogue cultivators will naturally not let it go. Perhaps in their eyes, this is a chance to defy fate and change their destiny, so they are unwilling to leave."

Han Qiyun nodded, showing no interest in looking at the snow falling outside the window, as if she had grown tired of seeing such a scene at home.

He merely showed a worried expression and said quietly.

"Senior brother, Ruijin Peak came with us this time. He has been coveting the treasure of our Han family's Cave Spring Peak, the [Little Melting Snow Spring Peak], for a long time..."

"Taking advantage of our current decline, and even using our power to coerce us, we may have done something to oppress or harm you."

Han Qiyuan remained silent, looking at his spirit boat with only a few people on board, and sighed softly.

"With Ancestor Guo here, they probably wouldn't dare to do that... My Dongquan Han family has declined to this day. There are only a few of us young Qi Refining cultivators. We've even fallen to the point of closing our peaks and sealing off our mountains. We can only rely on a few uncles who are in the late stage of Qi Refining to support us."

"Our family only possesses the Cold Qi and a few water techniques. This opportunity to train was hard-won, allowing us to come together with Ruijin Peak and Duanyan Peak to explore this place."

"This cave dwelling was left behind by a great cultivator of cold qi. It suits my path perfectly. I must find some opportunities here so that my family may produce another Foundation Establishment Ancestor."

Before Han Qiyuan could finish speaking, he saw that the old ancestor Guo above was manipulating the stone tablet, drawing out the rosy light, and had already created a gap in the formation.

Although it was supposed to be a training exercise, that Old Ancestor Guo still collected his Dao Foundation and stepped into the formation first, wanting to see what was inside.

But just as he stepped into the cave, the opening in the array suddenly closed.

After scanning the entire cave, Guo Linya's expression worsened.

"I've been scammed."

This place has hardly any spiritual objects, let alone any spiritual energy; there are absolutely no traces of any cultivator's former residence.

Instead, a chilling demonic aura approached him, transforming into a young boy.

The young man, dressed in a light blue robe covered in scales and ice, was smiling gently at me.

Guo Linya recognized the source of the demonic aura. The anger in his eyes subsided, but he spoke coldly.

"No wonder it's [Cold Qi], you tricked me into coming here, but you're used to acting like a tyrant on Guanglu Lake. You want to break your promise to my Xiaowei Mountain..."

The strange-looking youth slowly shook his head, a smile on his face.

"How could I dare? It's just that I haven't seen Brother Guo for a long time, and I wanted to find a way to catch up."

Guo Linya disliked demons to begin with, and upon hearing this, his anger flared even more. The radiant mountain behind him reappeared, and he roared.

"What an incorrigible monster, daring to set its sights on me."

"If you had truly mastered the [Jiyan Court], I would have given you some leeway. But now you're nothing but a cowardly [Yingzhelin], something even the adults wouldn't bother with making pills from! And you dare to trap me in this formation? Are you courting death?"

"Hahaha, let me show you the might of Immortal Foundation [Mao Fenxia]."

Seeing that Guo Linya spoke without restraint, directly revealing his own secrets and sore spots, he really didn't leave any dignity at all.

De Linzi's eyes were also cold, and he stopped speaking.

Behind it, scales transformed into icy mist, barely revealing its true form: a white snake, which breathed its way towards the Wutu Mountain.

------

Outside the cave dwelling on the lake, the great array outside the dwelling had just been opened, and Guo Linya stepped into the void.

The people of Xiaowei Mountain and the various independent cultivators all wanted to follow, but they saw the formation suddenly close, leaving them all stunned.

"What's going on?"

On the three spirit boats outside the formation, the disciples saw that their ancestor had entered the formation and had not come out for a long time.

Suddenly, a tremendous battle roared forth, so powerful that even the array couldn't block it out. It was clearly the kind of force that only a Foundation Establishment cultivator could produce, indicating that the Ancestor was fighting someone.

"How could our ancestor be trapped inside, fighting with someone? Could this cave be some kind of conspiracy...?"

Han Liyuan was about to send a message to the sect to report the situation when he saw his junior sister Han Qiyun suddenly tug at his sleeve.

He looked up and saw that the lake had fallen silent at some point, and many rogue cultivators had gathered around it.

The area west of the Great Lake does not belong to Linjiang County, but is adjacent to Donghe County.

Therefore, not all of these rogue cultivators are from Linjiang; most of them are rogue cultivators who have come from the surrounding areas. They do not have any long-standing fear or concern about Xiaowei Mountain.

The way they looked at their spirit boat now was no different from how they looked at the cave dwelling.

"Hurry up, let's go back to the sect."

Han Liyuan was terrified and immediately channeled his magic power to drive the spirit boat towards Xiaowei Mountain.

Because he knew what was going to happen next; he was familiar with it, he had seen that look before.

It was the way those people looked at Dongquan Peak when the Han family was in decline—a look like that of wolves smelling blood.
