Chapter 1123: Volume 6 Heavenly Skill Spiritual Treasure Chapter 1119 Ghost Mother of Yellow Springs
 

With a sinking heart, Han Li naturally did not wish to be enveloped by the might of the Ten Thousand Demon Banner, so without further thought he pointed at the Five Sons Demon and uttered an incantation, simultaneously spurring the Magic Incantation.

The Five Sons Demon lunged into the sky, and amidst flashing grey light, five skeletons congealed and fused together, forming a giant skeleton thirty zhang tall.

Immediately after, a green light flashed in the empty eye sockets of the skeleton, and it stretched out its bony hands towards itself, snatching two of its ribs directly out of its body, which instantly transformed into two bone knives over ten zhang long. After a roar, it ferociously struck the banner in the air with a cross slash.

A cross-shaped beam of light slashed towards the huge banner in mid-air, carrying astonishingly cold luminescence, rending the grey halo that had descended from it to pieces, and striking upon the Ten Thousand Demon Banner.

An earth-shattering loud noise erupted, where the demon Qi and the cold light intertwined and flickered, momentarily entangling each other.

The giant skeleton then suddenly soared into the air, waving its twin bone knives wildly, unleashing curved moon-shaped beams of cold light that whistled forth, half the sky enveloped by the cold radiance, intent on destroying the banner in one go.

From within the Ten Thousand Demon Banner, angry roars of the old demon Che were transmitted; the gigantic banner in the sky shook, and in a flash, it dramatically shrank, turning into a mere foot in length.

With a flash, a child-like figure emerged and grabbed the banner in his hand, followed by a shimmer, he astonishingly teleported several dozen zhang away.

It seems that this old demon recognized that moving the enlarged Ten Thousand Demon Banner naturally became sluggish, becoming the perfect target for the hands of the giant skeleton. It was better to manipulate it in its original size.

Upon witnessing this scene, the white giant skeleton shuddered and similarly began to shrink within the greyish-white demonic Qi, ultimately transforming into a two zhang tall figure. Then, with weird wailing from the demon’s mouth and spewing grey-white demonic Qi, it wielded the similarly reduced pair of bone knives and charged straight at the child.

The child was somewhat troubled by the presence of the Five Devils.

These five Sub Demons, having undergone special sacrificial refining, were unaffected by the restrictive formations of the Ten Thousand Demon Banner, and unless subdued by a specialized demon-subduing magical artifact or their master was dealt with, these Five Devils were practically immortal. No matter how many times they were shattered, they could regenerate on the spot.

Though powerful, the Ten Thousand Demon Banner was mainly designed against Human Cultivators. Against such a demon with no small Divine Skills, it truly could not easily capture them. Even if other Divine Skills were employed to deal with them, it would take more than just a moment or two.

However, seeing the skeleton furiously charging, the old demon Che, in his fiend demon transformation, could only frown and wave the Ten Thousand Demon Banner in his hand, releasing strands of black demon Qi, temporarily entangling with the skeleton. But, in his spiritual sense, six parts were focused on Han Li, only using four parts of his attention to deal with the Five Devils.

At this moment, Han Li stood shoulder to shoulder with the Humanoid Puppet, his expression fluctuating uncertainly, without making a move.

The woman in the silver robe stood steadily on the platform, showing no signs of attacking.

It seemed that she preferred to continue the standoff, or was afraid that any move on her part would give Han Li a chance to slip away quickly through the transportation formation.

As for the two Four-winged Centipedes, they hovered to the left and right above the two smaller transportation formations, eyeing Han Li like tigers stalking their prey.

The Ice Phoenix was very clear; these two transportation formations were the only exit from this hall.

Han Li did not take action simply because he was somewhat apprehensive about the Ice Phoenix’s heavenly skill to rip through space.

Although he possessed numerous methods, he couldn’t immediately come up with a way to force back the demon and then escape safely.

But just at that moment, a sudden burst of wild laughter echoed from the center of the great hall behind him.

“Haha, I’ve finally come out. This time, I really need to stretch my muscles. Let’s make it clear, I won’t go back easily before having my fill of fun,” the laughter sounded like a woman’s voice, yet it was exceedingly harsh and unpleasant to the ears.

Taken aback, Han Li’s spiritual sense swept backward, and his face revealed a look of surprise.

He saw that the beautiful woman who had been fighting the Ice Phoenix’s disciples had suddenly abandoned the battle and shot towards Han Li’s direction, leaving only two old men behind to entangle the two Ice Phoenixes.

Behind this beautiful woman was a cluster of greenish ghostly aura closely following her, with a woman’s silhouette faintly visible within, moving restlessly, and that laughter was coming from within this ghostly aura.

“This is…”

Han Li instantly sensed the strong Yin Power in the ghostly Qi of the woman, yet another character with a late-Nascent Soul Stage cultivation.

However, this woman was shrouded in Yin Power and turned out to be an extremely fearsome Ghost Cultivator!

“Fellow Daoist Han need not panic, this Palace Master will not let them join forces against you. I will lend you a helping hand!” The beautiful woman suddenly spoke up to Han Li.

Hearing this, Han Li was somewhat speechless.

Clearly, the woman was afraid that he would be the first to be killed by the two demons joined together, and then without any restraint, turned to face Minor Extreme Palace. However, when she spoke, it was as if she was offering assistance to him.

These Tenth Grade cultivators had originally come for Minor Extreme Palace after all.

However, the beautiful woman recognized his identity at a glance, which was somewhat unexpected for Han Li, but naturally, he wouldn’t say anything because of it.

Having two late Foundation Establishment Sect cultivators as support, he was naturally extremely pleased. Even though the Minor Extreme Palace Palace Master’s powers were far inferior to the two demons, the Ghost Cultivator within the green mist was clearly extraordinary, exerting a tremendous pressure on him, likely at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment Sect realm!

“Ghost Mother of Yellow Springs, it’s you! How dare you meddle in my affairs,” the trembling child being fought by the giant skeleton uttered angrily at the sight of the woman within the green mist.

“Hehe, if Fellow Daoist had come in person, I naturally wouldn’t dare to meddle. But just a wooden decoy, do you really think I’m afraid you might devour me?” The woman in the green mist let out an unpleasant laugh, not fazed in the slightest by the child’s demeanor.

“Ghost Mother of Yellow Springs? Is that the Ghost Cultivator who single-handedly exterminated several Immortal Cultivation Sects?” The woman in silver robes showed a slight change of expression upon hearing the name, seemingly knowing the origins of the woman in the green mist.

“Quite rare, the Lord of the Ice Sea even knows the name of this old ghost! I heard that you might have advanced to the Deity Transformation stage right after I had just shed my corpse, but you have stayed at the tenth level of cultivation. Is it because you fear the imbalance of Qi in the human world, thus sacrificing your own base essence? But suppressing your realm must be quite uncomfortable. Moreover, even though you Ice Phoenixes have a long lifespan, if you don’t advance to the next stage, it seems you cannot hold on much longer,” the woman in the ghostly aura seemed to know the Ice Phoenix’s situation very well, and as she spoke, she revealed the biggest secret hidden in the heart of the woman in silver robes.

The woman in silver robes’ face suddenly turned grim!

Han Li inhaled sharply, now realizing why this Ice Phoenix was so difficult to deal with.

“I let you out, not for you to catch up with others!” the beautiful woman suddenly snorted at this moment.

“Don’t worry, as long as there are no Deity Transformation stage cultivators present, I assure you, saving your life is as easy as flipping my hand. But don’t forget what you promised me earlier! And you dared to forcibly summon me without a Soul Stone, you won’t avoid falling severely ill from the ghostly Qi afterward,” the Ghost Mother of Yellow Springs sneered in the green mist.

Upon hearing these words from the Ghost Mother of Yellow Springs, the beautiful woman’s face darkened, but she did not respond.

In the span of these few exchanges, the beautiful woman and the Ghost Mother of Yellow Springs had already reached the vicinity of the high platform, their streak of light came to a halt at one side, seemingly forming a triangular standoff with Han Li and the two demons.

“Fellow Daoist Han, how about we join forces to eliminate this Lord of the Ice Sea first?” the beautiful woman turned and said to Han Li with a pleasant expression.

“Alright, Han Li has no objections!” Han Li stroked his chin, calmly nodding in agreement.

The beautiful woman was overjoyed upon hearing this, just as she was about to signal the Ghost Mother of Yellow Springs to take action together, but the woman in silver robes below suddenly scoffed, raised a hand, and a blinding arc of white light shot out.

With a “boom” that followed, a smaller transportation formation behind her was violently severed into two halves.

The expressions of Han Li and the beautiful woman changed dramatically.

“If you plan to besiege me, don’t blame me for destroying this remaining formation as well!” the woman in the silver robe said leisurely, looking at the two in the sky.

“What do you mean by this? If you destroy the transportation formation, none of you will be able to leave the Void Spirit Hall!” The beautiful woman’s expression changed repeatedly before she said with forced composure.

“Have you forgotten how I sneaked into the Void Spirit Hall?” the woman in silver robes laughed lightly, her voice trembling like flowers though her eyes were chillingly cold.

Han Li’s expression looked somewhat ugly.

“Fellow Daoist Han need not worry about this matter. Even if the transportation formation is truly destroyed by this monster, as long as you and I join hands, we can break the restrictive formations and leave through the main gate of this hall after some time,” the beautiful woman pondered for a moment before saying to Han Li.

However, Han Li frowned, his face alternating between hope and doubt.

If he hadn’t killed all three Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Minor Extreme Palace at the Mystic Jade Cave, he could have joined forces with the beautiful woman to kill the group of monsters and then slowly figure out how to break the restrictions and escape. But now, not to mention spending more time, in a little while, the Minor Extreme Palace cultivators might already discover something unusual about the Mystic Jade Cave. He could not afford to delay for such a long time!

Seeing Han Li’s expression, the beautiful woman’s heart skipped a beat, and then she seemed to remember something, her heart thudding ominously.

The mere presence of Han Li without the other Nascent Soul Cultivators who entered the Mystic Jade Cave had, in fact, early on given the Minor Extreme Palace Palace Master an ominous hunch. However, with a formidable enemy at hand, she naturally could only pretend not to know.

But now, the beautiful woman’s face clouded over. Yet suddenly, her beautiful eyes flashed fiercely, and her lips moved slightly as if she transmitted a message.

The Ghost Mother of Yellow Springs standing behind her, within the green mist, flickered, her figure suddenly becoming indistinct and blurred.

Immediately after, a green thread as thin as a hair shot out silently from the mist, disappearing without a trace in a flash.

Even though the green thread vanished stealthily, the Ice Phoenix below seemed to notice something and let out a sharp scold.

“How dare you!”

Then the demon raised one hand towards another smaller transportation formation and swiftly flicked her fingers, sending out five white sword Qi whistling out. At the same time, the Four-winged Centipede hovering above suddenly dipped its head, and a vast expanse of white cold Qi gushed down, completely enveloping the formation within it.
