Tianyuan City.

The atmosphere here has been a bit depressing lately, and the monks in the city seem a bit anxious no matter what they are doing.

This is a very abnormal thing.

Because of the super fairy formation, outsiders who want to invade the human and demon races can only go through Tianyuan City.

Over the years, each foreign invasion was usually separated by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

It has only been 30,000 years since the last foreign invasion.

But in recent times, according to the information obtained by the cultivators outside Tianyuan City, it seems that foreign races are gathering and then invading the human and demon races.

It's clearly not the time of the year yet, why is it so abnormal?
No matter what, because of the gathering of foreign races, both the human and demon races naturally gathered their monks to prepare for this wave of invasion.

In fact, the reason for this situation is related to Han Li.

When he was in the human world, Qin Feng gave the Xuantian Immortal Vine to Han Li, hoping that he would cultivate the Xuantian Fruit and eventually obtain the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword.

This is Xuantian's treasure, and it is also ranked third on the Chaos Spirit List of the Spirit World. It contains the power of laws and is the essence of a world. It is extremely powerful. Even in the fairy world, it is not an ordinary thing.

However, the incident happened suddenly and he had to ascend. The Xuantian Immortal Vine was of no use, so it remained with Han Li.

Just a few years ago, Han Li had been using a small green bottle to irrigate the Xuantian Fruit, and eventually the prototype of the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword was produced.

However, this sword has not yet been fully formed and it will take some time to perfect it.

Even so, the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword has already appeared on the Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits List.

This is the third-ranked Xuantian treasure, which caused a huge sensation among all the races in the spiritual world.

Many powerful people used secret methods to deduce the location of the Xuantian treasure, and then they figured it out. It was in the northwest corner of Fengyuan Continent, which was the territory of the human and demon races.

As a result, monks from many races wanted to send people to look for her, and they also gathered monks to prepare for a fierce attack on Tianyuan City.

For no other reason than to find clues about the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword.

Han Li was completely unaware of this. Now, he had become a senior Qingming Guard and was carrying out an urgent patrol mission.

After all, the foreign races are gathering monks, looking like they are planning to invade Tianyuan City.

The Elders' Council in Tianyuan City naturally sent people to gather intelligence in the surrounding area and do some preventive work.

One of the tasks Han Li received was to explore a mountain range in the southeast.

Traveling with him were some of his black-armored guards in the Nascent Soul stage.

Although this mission was rather sudden and quite dangerous, Han Li was not panicked at all.

He is now a completely different person than before, and has already established a firm foothold in the spiritual world.

A lot has changed in two hundred years.

At the beginning, because they had smuggled into the spiritual world, Han Li and his party did not appear directly in Tianyuan City, but also came to the territory ruled by Tianyuan Saint Emperor.

Their human world seems to be just below the Tianyuan Realm area, so if they want to sneak across, they usually stay within the Tianyuan Realm.

Originally in the human world, Han Li and Yuan Yao were at the peak of the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm and could break through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm at any time.

Not long after arriving in the spiritual world, Han Li naturally went into seclusion to break through, and then he attracted an extremely powerful colored lightning tribulation.

However, Han Li had a solid foundation, and he had many treasures, which were enough to kill the thunder tribulation in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Han Li simply withstood it.

In the original novel, Han Li regained his cultivation to the level of a spirit being transformed. When he was going through a thunder tribulation, he was discovered by the Golden Guards of Tianyuan City and taken to Tianyuan City.

Although we did not encounter the Golden Guards this time, there are cultivators in the city who know about the colored divine thunder. They are definitely ascended cultivators from the lower realm!

They came close to Han Li and then tested Han Li.

Han Li and Yuan Yao were both smart people. They sensed something unusual from the thunder tribulation, and then combined it with the reactions of other cultivators. In addition, after they came to the spiritual world, they also found out a lot of information.

Eventually, he gradually came to understand the differences between the ascended monks from the lower realm and the native monks from the spiritual world.

Originally, due to Han Li and Yuan Yao's cautious nature, they did not want to go to Tianyuan City.

After all, that place is full of masters, including cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage and even the Fusion stage. They are just in the Spiritual Transformation stage, and it would be too weak for them to go there, so it would be easy for problems to occur.

They had on them various treasures looted from the human world, as well as many spirit stones and other things.

His wealth and possessions are comparable to those of a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage.

In this case, they only need to find a place to seclude themselves for a few hundred years, and then come out after breaking through to the Void Refinement Stage, which will be much safer.

However, the harm caused by the colored thunder disaster is too great!
It was just a thunder tribulation that caused a breakthrough to the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Even an ordinary cultivator in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm could not withstand its power.

If they could break through to the late stage of Spirit Transformation, or even the stage of Void Refinement, they would definitely not be able to withstand the power of the thunder tribulation!
So under this life-threatening situation, they had no choice but to inquire about the situation in Tianyuan City while rushing towards that direction.

After that, it took them nearly three years to finally arrive at Tianyuan City.

They are all cultivators in the God Transformation Stage, and are also ascended cultivators. They directly serve as Qingming Guards.

After the initial trepidation, they gradually calmed down.

In the blink of an eye, nearly two hundred years have passed.

Over the years, they have also established a firm foothold in Tianyuan City.

Han Li, Nangong Wan, Yuan Yao, and Yanli who had already rebuilt her body.

The four of them each had their own opportunities, and their cultivation has changed tremendously.

Among them, Han Li was the most outstanding and had already broken through the Void Refinement Stage and became a cultivator in the early stage of Void Refinement.

After all, he has the little green bottle, and his alchemy level has been taught by Qin Feng, which is no longer comparable to that in the original book, so his cultivation speed is naturally the fastest.

In just two hundred years, he went from a cultivator at the peak of the early stage of the Spirit Transformation to the early stage of the Void Refinement.

However, it had not been long since he achieved the breakthrough, and he had done so secretly outside. Now he was hiding his strength, and in the eyes of others he was still a cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

The main reason is that things have been a bit unsettled recently, and in order to maintain stability, Han Li did not choose to be in the limelight, but waited and saw what was happening, hiding his own cultivation.

The other three are now in the late stage of Spirit Transformation.

Of course, although they all have the same level of cultivation, there is still a big gap between them.

Yuan Yao has reached the peak of the late Spirit Transformation stage and is now preparing to retreat to break through to the Void Refinement stage.

Nangong Wan is similar. With Han Li's help, her cultivation speed is not slow.

The last Yanli was slightly inferior, having just entered the late stage of the Spirit Transformation, which was hundreds of years behind the others.

"Sir, nothing unusual was found here."

It has been several months since they came to this mountain range. After sending his men out one after another, Han Li waited for their investigation on the spot.

Although it is an urgent patrol mission, there are no strict requirements for this mission and you can just explore freely.

In this case, he naturally would not explore the mountains completely by himself, so he would just let his subordinates do it.

"Okay, let's go back after everyone is here." Han Li nodded.

When the Black Armor Guards patrol this area, they will use a magic weapon to record the situation along the way, which will naturally be handed over to Han Li at this time.

After they go back and hand in the photos, they will consider their mission accomplished.

"Yes." The first black-armored guard who came back bowed and began to meditate aside.

Five days passed like this, and the black-armored guards that Han Li had sent out came back one after another. When the last black-armored guard came back, Han Li frowned and looked behind him.

In just a moment, he sent a message to the black-armored guards: "You go first."

The last guy was followed all the way, obviously on purpose.

Fortunately, the people who followed him were not very strong, they were just three Jindan cultivators, and Han Li was able to deal with them.

However, he didn't want his true ability to be exposed, so he let his men go first.

"Yes!"

The members of their team had already been convinced by Han Li. Although they were confused at this moment, they did not waste any time and flew directly towards Tianyuan City.

Just a few seconds after he walked away, three people appeared in front of Han Li.

"Qingming Guard of Tianyuan City, I didn't expect you to be so loyal. You're backing up those bugs."

The three people were of different races. Han Li recognized two of them, who were from the Yaksha tribe and the Mu tribe.

In the northwest corner of their Fengyuan Continent, in addition to the human and demon races, there are also the spirit race, wood race, yaksha race, shadow race and so on, so Han Li knew them.

The last monk looked a bit like a toad, with bumps all over his body. He exuded a light green aura, and the space around him became distorted.

Is it the Night Toad Clan? Or the Shadow Toad Clan?

No matter what, Han Li was not in a hurry.

Because he had not revealed his cultivation level of the Void Refinement Stage, in Tianyuan City, the only channels for him to obtain information were from the Golden Guards above him. The elders in the Fusion Stage would never meet them directly.

Over the past two hundred years, he has naturally joined some "alliances", among which there are also cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.

But no matter which channel it was, Han Li could only roughly know that there were foreign races planning to invade Tianyuan City.

But he had no idea about the specific reasons why the war broke out ahead of time.

So at this moment, after seeing the three foreign cultivators who had reached the divine level, he also had some thoughts of finding out.

"Didn't the cultivators of the Wood Clan and the Yaksha Clan fight to the death a few days ago? Why are they uniting together now?" Han Li ignored the other party's words and asked on his own.

Seeing this, the three of them stared at each other.

The leading toad monk saw this and shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Xi, please deal with the bugs that escaped. This guy will be left to the two of us."

The toad monk had the highest level of cultivation, having reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation, while the other two were both in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation.

After they discovered the Black Armor Guards, they deliberately did not take action, just thinking of catching a big fish.

Look, Han Li came to the door.

A cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm is not considered bad in Tianyuan City.

If we can catch it, it will be a great achievement.

"piece of cake."

After the Wood Clan cultivator named Xi responded, he immediately used his escape technique to leave.

At the same time, the Toad Monk and another devil-like Yaksha Monk attacked Han Li without saying a word.

Seeing this scene, Han Li sighed.

Originally, he was thinking about gathering some intelligence, but he didn't expect that several people would start fighting as soon as they met. It seems that he can only conduct soul search.

In fact, under normal circumstances, Han Li is unwilling to search the soul.

Because soul searching is rather cruel and also has a certain impact on his spirit, it will take some time to eliminate this impact.

Of course, Han Li's soul is also very powerful.

Although he is only in the initial stage of Refining Void, the strength of his spiritual awareness is comparable to that of cultivators in the late stage of Refining Void.

"Ugh"

With a light sigh, Han Li directly threw out three soul-stirring thorns.

In an instant, the three monks, with different movements and expressions, became stunned at the same time.

Han Li did not use his full strength. He just used the limit to send out three Soul-Shocking Stabs. Otherwise, if he used his full strength, the souls of the three people would have been torn into pieces, and he would not have been able to search their souls.

In this way, the three of them were not stunned for long, only half a breath.

In half a breath, perhaps if facing a cultivator of the same level, he could escape with his life by relying on his own magic weapon, protective aura, and various life-saving measures.

But in front of Han Li's Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, all that was just wishful thinking!
'Shh, shh, shh'

With three muffled sounds, three emerald green flying swords pierced through the three people's protective measures and directly turned their bodies into ashes.

Han Li now, with his Zhoutian Star Array, may be able to temporarily compete with even the cultivators in the early stage of fusion.

With three young Divine Transformation cultivators, isn’t he able to defeat them easily? !

"Senior, spare your life!"

"Senior, please spare my life! We are so blind that we actually offended you. Please spare my life!"

Looking at the three balls of soul fire in his hands and the storage bag next to him, Han Li heard the familiar voice begging for mercy again.

This kind of thing has happened many times.

The enemies he met in the past would often appear arrogant, then be easily killed by him, and finally beg for mercy.

He was tired of this whole process.

There was no way. When Han Li's cultivation was low, he was hunted too many times. Even though his strength has become extraordinary now, he is still very cautious and careful, just like pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

So what if I’m ridiculed or looked down upon?

It’s better than being hunted!

"late!"

Han Li's eyes focused and he immediately activated the soul-searching secret technique.

Not long after, Han Li sighed slightly as he looked at the several spiritual souls in his palms that had transformed into dense dark power.

Just now, these people said that those Nascent Soul cultivators were bugs.

In a blink of an eye, the three Jindan cultivators also became insects in Han Li's hands.

It seems that only by continuous practice and ascending to become an immortal can one be free from this kind of oppression!
After sighing for a moment, Qin Feng didn't think much about it and quickly flew towards Tianyuan City.

And when he searched the soul just now, he also understood the whole story.

This is because the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword appeared on the Chaos List of All Spirits, and its location was right where the human and demon races were.

Han Li is not stupid. He has been in the spiritual world for two hundred years. After some association, he roughly guessed something.

That Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword might be the sword embryo he had previously poured out.

After knowing this, Han Li's brows immediately furrowed.
