"Every word I have said is true. If there is any falsehood, may I be struck by lightning..."

Before Han Li could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Fairy Xuanlian.

"I've figured it out. You two, master and apprentice, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, are practically cut from the same cloth. Alright, alright, let's just let this matter drop."

"How can this be? It concerns your reputation; how can you be so hasty?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Cangkun immediately glared and puffed out his beard, clearly determined to make a big scene.

"Junior brother, this is a public place, so please be mindful of your appearance. We'll discuss everything when we get back!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Cangkun was overjoyed.

Since the other party isn't dwelling on this matter, doesn't that mean Xuan Lian has already begun to accept him?

I never expected that after all my hard work, Han Li would just stumble upon this by sheer luck and make it happen.

Thinking of this, Venerable Cangkun was overjoyed and found his new disciple increasingly pleasing to the eye.

"Han Li, since the fairy is unwilling to pursue this matter, I will spare you for now, but this will not be a repeat of the previous instance!"

Master Cangkun spoke to Han Li with a serious expression.

"Han Li, I just saw you chatting happily with my disciple. What were you talking about?" Fairy Xuanlian paused and slowly asked.

"It's nothing, just catching up on old times..."

Gan Rushuang lowered her head guiltily, not daring to look Han Li in the eye.

Cang Kun Shangren and Xuan Lian Fairy exchanged glances, looking at Han Li and then at Gan Rushuang, who was blushing. Both of them had a playful smile on their faces.

"Alright, alright, I was just asking casually. Since you're both so embarrassed, I won't bother you any longer."

Fairy Xuanlian looked at Gan Rushuang with a profound expression, then took out a top-grade magical flying sword with a hazy blue color, handed it to her, and transformed into a streak of light to shoot away.

"Xuan Lian, wait for me!"

Seeing this, Venerable Cangkun patted Han Li on the shoulder, laughed heartily, and instantly disappeared from the spot.

"Senior Brother Han, I never expected you to join the Li Huo Sect and become a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Why didn't you tell me?"

"Also, you gave me this Foundation Establishment Pill, didn't you?"

As soon as the two left, Gan Rushuang raised her chin and stared at Han Li with her beautiful eyes.

"I......"

Han Li was about to deny it when Gan Rushuang interrupted him.

"The storage bag you gave me last time was filled with quite a few pills for advancing the Qi Refining stage. Now that I think about it, it must have been given to me by Senior Brother Han!"

"I just don't understand. I only met Senior Brother Han once, yet he first saved me and then gave me so many pills. Why is that?"

Gan Rushuang abandoned her previous shyness and stared intently at Han Li with her beautiful eyes, wanting to get a reasonable explanation from him.

Han Li was completely bewildered by the series of questions. The usually bold and meticulous man was unable to answer them for a moment. He simply couldn't bring himself to utter words like "love at first sight."

"That...I..."

At this moment, Han Li had already cursed Cang Kun Shangren to the last detail in his mind.

If he hadn't suddenly called out to me, none of this trouble would have happened.

Gan Rushuang appears easygoing, but she is actually a strong-willed woman who has always relied on herself for cultivation and has never had the habit of being subservient to others.

Therefore, Han Li could only make silent sacrifices behind the scenes. However, to Han Li's surprise, these things were exposed so quickly, which caught him off guard.

Seeing Han Li's stammering, Gan Rushuang burst out laughing.

"Alright, alright, Senior Brother Han, I didn't expect you to be so thin-skinned. I won't tease you anymore."

"But you should take this Foundation Establishment Pill back first. I have never accepted favors for nothing!"

As she spoke, Gan Rushuang returned the Foundation Establishment Pill that Han Li had entrusted to someone to give him.

Han Li did not accept the Foundation Establishment Pill, but instead picked up the communication jade talisman and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Gan Rushuang.

“Fairy Ru Shuang, this Foundation Establishment Pill was not given to me, so please forgive me for not being able to accept it.”

"I have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. Goodbye!"

After saying that, Han Li's body flashed with a blue light, and he used the Earth Escape Technique, giving Gan Rushuang no chance to react, and quickly fled the scene.

Upon seeing this scene, Gan Rushuang was first taken aback. Watching Han Li hurriedly flee, she couldn't help but let out a melodious laugh.

Looking at the small bottle containing the Foundation Establishment Pill in her hand, Gan Rushuang's two jade-like hands clasped tightly together.

"Who else could it be but you? Among all the rogue cultivators I've befriended, you are the only one who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and only you could have done it, Senior Brother Han."

After saying this, she slowly opened the jade bottle in her hand and brought it to her nose to smell it. Accompanied by the unique fragrance of the Foundation Establishment Pill, Gan Rushuang fell into a state of deep contemplation.

After hastily fleeing the scene, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Gan Rushuang did not pursue him. He secretly observed and watched her for a long time before personally escorting her away from Wuling City, a hundred miles away.

With Han Li's Foundation Establishment cultivation, plus the Taiqing Cave Profound True Light and the Breath Concealment Technique, Gan Rushuang did not notice anything unusual. After safely escorting him to the cave, Han Li chose to return.

At his current speed, he covered a hundred miles in just half a day.

These days, Wuling City is peaceful and quiet, and even the demonic forces outside the city are behaving themselves, as if the dark clouds hanging over Wuling City have completely dissipated.

Only Han Li knew that this was the harbinger of an impending storm.

Three days later, Han Li used a secret telepathic technique to notify the group to meet at the previously agreed-upon location.

Just in case, Han Li first checked the array set up around him, and then notified his friend Wen Daoyou, who was familiar with him. With two Foundation Establishment cultivators in charge, they could handle any unexpected events in the battle with ease.

After an unknown amount of time, Han Li sat cross-legged in a depression at the foot of the hill, closed his eyes, and remained motionless to rest.

A faint, seven-colored light enveloped its body, and it emitted no aura whatsoever. Apart from the chirping of birds, beasts, and insects, there was no other sound around.

Just then, three streaks of light flashed across the distant horizon, fleeing swiftly along the winding mountain range.

Behind them were more than a dozen streaks of light of different colors, most of whom were late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, with one or two at the peak of Qi Refining. They were currently frantically chasing after the three figures fleeing ahead.

All sorts of supernatural powers and spells flooded in, striking the three people who were flying away at high speed not far away.

"Help!"

Wan Xiaozhi screamed repeatedly, her body swaying left and right as she tried her best to dodge the attacks of those supernatural powers and spells.

Despite this, he still received a considerable number of attacks.

If it weren't for the high-grade talisman that Han Li gave him to protect him, he probably would have fallen down long ago and been torn to pieces by the people behind him.

How much longer until we arrive?

Wan Xiaozhi was already starting to regret it, regretting that she shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess, but it was too late to say anything now.

"About twenty li left! Hang in there, everyone!"

"Indeed, with Little Immortal Master's supernatural powers, these Qi Refining stage cultivators are no match for him in a single move!"

At the same time, Han Li, who was more than ten miles away, opened his eyes.

"coming!"

He slowly stood up, his gaze fixed on the direction of Wuling City, his eyes gleaming with a blue light.

Under Han Li's watchful gaze, the three figures fled in disarray amidst the encirclement of more than a dozen people.

"You've killed so many of our brothers, you won't escape today!" the leading Qi Refining Peak cultivator sneered.

Surrounding him was a small, hazy blue bag. When the bag opened, a strange black mist spewed out from it.

Mixed with pure demonic energy, several skeletal-like demonic flames landed behind the three in an instant.

Despite their best efforts to resist, they still inadvertently inhaled the demonic energy.

The moment the demonic energy entered the body, the originally steady magical power instantly became sluggish.

Taking this opportunity, the remaining dozen or so demonic cultivators swarmed forward and surrounded the group.

The three of them, realizing what was happening, immediately shouted and forced out the demonic energy from their bodies before fleeing into the sky.

But these demonic cultivators seemed to have anticipated this. From within the thick fog, a demonic cultivator shrouded in black energy appeared, and countless dense black threads poured down like rain.

The black threads landed on the three people's protective aura and magical artifacts, and the fierce attack forcibly suppressed the three people who originally wanted to fly into the sky.

In that brief delay, a streak of blood-red light shot out, and in a flash, a thick blood net descended from above the three of them, binding them tightly. No matter how much they struggled, it was to no avail, and they plummeted straight into the forest.
