Mortal: I really didn't want to be reborn as Zi Ling!

Han Li looked at Zi Ling, opened his mouth, wanting to say a few words of comfort.

Before the words could even leave his mouth, boom—

With a loud bang, the entire Kui Xing Island seemed to tremble.

Han Li turned his head abruptly, his pupils shrinking sharply.

From the direction of the Demon-Suppressing Platform, an even thicker pillar of azure lightning shot into the sky, piercing straight into the clouds.

The lightning pillar, imbued with violent thunderous power, tore a huge rift in the sky, causing dark clouds to surge and lightning to dance wildly, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Immediately afterwards, a colossal creature flew out from the pillar of lightning.

The creature was ridiculously large, its wingspan blotting out the sky, clearly visible even from a great distance. Its body was covered in azure feathers, crackling with terrifying arcs of electricity.

The moment it flapped its wings, countless bolts of lightning poured down from its wings and crashed onto Kui Xing Island.

Long!

Long!

Long!

Wherever the lightning struck, countless buildings crumbled and the earth cracked.

In the blink of an eye, half of Kui Xing Island was turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Seeing the scene before him, Han Li's heart skipped a beat.

Even from dozens of miles away, the oppressive aura made it hard for him to breathe.

Zi Ling, whose strength was even lower, looked even more unpleasant.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Han Li's voice was somewhat hoarse.

Although he had a suspicion in his mind, he couldn't help but ask.

"It's Lei Peng, the former king of demonic beasts!"

Zi Ling's voice was devoid of any emotion.

Before she could finish speaking, a furious roar echoed from a secluded part of Kui Xing Island, resounding throughout the entire island:

"Lei Peng! Have you gone mad? How dare you destroy the formation with your own body! Today, even if I have to go to heaven and earth, I will fight you to the death!"

The voice, carrying terrifying spiritual pressure, sped toward Lei Peng. Even from this distance, Zi Ling could feel the anger emanating from it.

Hmph, they really know how to put on an act.

Zi Ling didn't know what role the Sixth Elder played in all of this, but she knew that the other party not only failed to capture Lei Peng, but also failed to punish Ji Yin Island, and later even prepared to sideline her.

It's definitely not a good thing!

Zi Ling ignored the voice and continued, "With the collapse of the Kui Xing Island formation, cracks will appear in the formation that isolates the inner and outer star seas. Demonic beasts below the seventh rank will be able to freely travel to and from the inner star sea."

Han Li's face was terribly gloomy.

The Six-Linked Palace, the Extreme Yin Island, the Demon Clan, and the Star Palace—any one of these forces is not one he can afford to provoke.

Now everything is in a mess.

He glanced at Zi Ling subconsciously; she was staring intently at the sea of ​​fire.

"You don't need to worry too much."

Zi Ling knew what Han Li was worried about, fearing that he would be so frightened that he would hide back in Tiannan, so she added in a calm tone: "As long as the two saints are still around, no one can stir up trouble in the Chaotic Star Sea. It's just a period of turmoil."

Han Li breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.

But his brows quickly furrowed again.

wrong.

This woman knew that Kui Xing Island would be in chaos, so why didn't she avoid it beforehand?

Keep in mind that her parents are still inside.

Just as Han Li was about to ask a question, he saw Zi Ling pull out a veil from somewhere and gently cover her face.

The veil covered most of her face, revealing only a pair of cool, clear eyes.

Damn it! Why does this little girl look more and more like her!

Especially their eyebrows and eyes, they are almost identical!

Upon seeing the familiar figure, Han Li froze on the spot.

"Brother Han."

Zi Ling took out a jade box from her storage bag and handed it over.

"I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. Here is something Brother Han urgently needs, which I would like to express my gratitude in small way."

Han Li was taken aback.

What he urgently needed?

"Could it be that Brother Han finds it unworthy? Once I have safely taken control of the Miaoyin Sect, I will surely present you with a generous gift."

Han Li stared at the jade box in Zi Ling's hand, then looked at the familiar person in front of him who was wearing a veil, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

"this……"

He declined verbally, but his hands moved quickly and skillfully.

Zi Ling's eyelids twitched.

As expected of Han the Old Demon, he says one thing but does another.

"With such a dramatic change occurring on Kui Xing Island, the Star Palace will likely react internally."

Han Li put his things away and, somewhat embarrassed, reminded her, "Miss Zi Ling, please be careful in the future."

"Thank you for your advice, Brother Han. I will pay attention."

Zi Ling nodded slightly, her gaze once again turning towards the Demon Suppression Platform.

The sea of ​​fire raged, thick smoke billowed into the sky, obscuring the entire Kui Xing Island. After watching for a long time, she still couldn't see the figure she was looking for.

With a sigh, Zi Ling was about to turn on the teleportation bracelet.

"not good!"

Zhang Tie's figure sped towards them from afar, his face urgent as he said, "A Core Formation cultivator is heading this way!"

Han Li's expression changed, and he immediately took out his magic weapon.

Zi Ling's eyes lit up, and she paused in her teleportation attempt, hurriedly asking, "How many people? Are they men or women?"

"It's a man. Judging from his aura, he's very likely Wu Chou from Ji Yin Island," Zhang Tie said in a deep voice.

The light that had just risen in Zi Ling's eyes dimmed instantly.

After a moment of silence, she looked up at Han Li.

"Brother Han, you should leave quickly as well."

Zi Ling's tone was more sincere than before.

"Regardless of whether you previously used the Profound Yin Scripture, the Blood Fiend Blade, or this fellow Daoist's demonic body—"

She glanced at Zhang Tie and continued, "These are all things that are extremely taboo on the Yin Island."

"They won't let you off easily."

Han Li's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to ask further questions, Zi Ling took out a talisman and affixed it to the teleportation bracelet.

A flash of inspiration.

"etc--"

Before Han Li could finish speaking, Zi Ling's figure had already disappeared from the spot, leaving only a faint purple afterimage, which was quickly blown away by the wind.

Han Li's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

His brows furrowed tightly as a thought flashed through his mind.

Could it be that the other party sensed from the beginning that Zhang Tie was his avatar and a demonic being, which is why they warned him to stay away from Kui Xing Island?

Instead of because of Lei Peng's escape today?

Han Li thought about it more and more and it seemed very possible.

Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why the other party, knowing the place was dangerous, would still rashly stay.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

Remembering the other party's reminder, he dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Extreme Yin Island is a notorious demonic force, and the Extreme Yin Ancestor is one of the most powerful demons!

Han Li took a deep breath, waved his hand, and took out a puppet from his storage bag.

Several beams of spiritual light entered the puppet's body, and it immediately emitted an aura exactly like its own.

"Walk."

Han Li gave a low shout, and the puppet rushed eastward, while he himself led Zhang Tie westward.

-

The two had been gone for less than ten breaths.

A streak of purple light streaked across the sky, as fast as a shooting star.

The beam of light landed beside the teleportation array, and when the light faded, it revealed a young man with a sinister expression.

At this moment, Wu Chou's face was extremely ugly, as if he had just swallowed a greenbottle fly.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!!"

He kicked away a pile of pebbles at his feet, extremely agitated.

"Everyone says that Wang Heng and Zhou Yuan are only good at playing the flute and zither, and not at fighting. But today they actually killed Elder Gu right in front of me!"

He paced back and forth, looking incredulous.

"And that damned Feng hope, not only did he not help me, but he also ran away the moment he released Lei Peng!"
