“How dare you, thief!”

“How dare you read the secret scriptures of the Cold Fire Sect! Die!”

The fat monk and the tall and thin man’s eyes were about to pop out from anger as they hollered simultaneously. The former then took out a piece of yellow jade and shook it vigorously.

Whoosh!

A ray of yellow light shot out of the jade piece and landed on the yellow light shield.

The light shield split open and revealed a passageway.

The two figures flew out and rushed towards the figure inside.

At this moment, the figure suddenly raised his hand then recited an incantation and pointed his finger at the jade pillar. Black light flew out from his fingertip and hit the white jade pillar in the centre of the room.

The restriction seal on the jade pillar lit up and the yellow light shield immediately became bright, shooting out countless yellow rays and struck the two cultivators who were in mid air like lightning.

They looked like they had fallen into a swamp. Their bodies suddenly became a hundred times heavier and it was extremely difficult to lift their hands.

“This is bad. Ownership of the array has been changed!” The tall and thin man was startled.

“Who are you? How did you take control of the restriction seals here?” The fat monk’s expression was dark and he shouted angrily.

The figure ignored them and quickly read through the jade slip with his divine sense. Both of his hands were doing hand seals and hit the white stone pillars.

The yellow rays immediately fluctuated and it revolved around the two cultivators, forming two yellow whirlpools which trapped their bodies.

The two men shouted and struggled, the magic weapons in their hands flashing. They tried to break free from the yellow light using a bundle of white light and blue sword energy, but no matter how they attacked, they could not break free.

The two men were angry and anxious. This yellow light restriction seal was originally used to deal with enemies, but now they, the protectors, were trapped.

At this moment, seven or eight figures swarmed in from the outside. They were the patrol leaders of the Deity Transformation stage.

They were dumbfounded when they saw the situation inside.

But they quickly reacted by raising their hands and took out their magic weapons one after another to fight against the yellow light. They tried to break through it and save the two Spatial Tempering stage cultivators.

“Stop, you can’t hit it!” The fat monk shouted as his expression changed.

But it was too late. The yellow light immediately trembled when the magic weapons attacked it and at the same time, swells the size of millstones appeared from the yellow light.

With loud puffing sounds, seven or eight rays of tentacle like lights flashed out and caught the patrolmen. The tentacles suddenly retracted and dragged them into the rays of light.

The cultivation base of these people were not as good as the two Spatial Tempering stage cultivators and they were now shrouded in the light and could not move at all.

“Damn it!” The fat monk roared.

“Did you inform the sect about the situation here?” The tall and thin man asked the patrol leaders.

“Already… informed…” It was very difficult for the leaders to open their mouths.

When the two Spatial Tempering stage cultivators heard this, they looked relieved and turned to look at the figure.

The figure was still breaking the seals on the stone cabinets and quickly reading through the jade slips. He was very fast and in a moment, he had already read through most of the inner pavilion’s scriptures.

Although the two men were anxious, all the people here were trapped by the yellow light restriction seal and could only watch and could not do anything.

“Who is so bold!”

At this moment, a thunderous shout came from outside. The air in the hall was vibrating violently and the yellow light was also shaking.

The ears of the people trapped in the yellow light seal were buzzing and their faces were pale, but their expressions were happy.

The figure, who was standing in front of a stone cabinet, turned stiff. He looked out and then black light came out from the area between his eyebrows.

Swish, swish, swish!

Several rays of black light shot out and smashed the restriction seals on the three stone cabinets which he had yet to read.

Bang!

A red figure shot in from the door. It was a big man with red hair.

This man was tall, and was built like an iron tower. He was wearing a red robe on which red-hot flames burned fiercely and the whole hall was plunged into a terrifyingly high temperature in an instant.

Huge waves of oppression emanated from the big man. He was obviously a fusion stage mighty figure.

“Thief, pay with your life!”

The red-haired man’s gaze looked at the figure, his eyes seemed to be burning and he gave an angry shout.

He reached out his hand and a huge flaming sword flew out. In a flash, it became several feet in size and cut at the yellow light shield with an immense force.

A large amount of yellow light emerged and faced the huge sword, trying to hold it back, but before it could touch the sword, it was torn apart by the flame of the sword.

“Crack.”

The flame sword slashed hard on the yellow light shield and numerous cracks appeared on the shield but it did not break completely and partially blocked this hit.

At this moment, the figure waved his hand and shot out a suction power.

The jade slips on three stone cabinets immediately flew out and landed on the figure’s hands, and was put away by him.

When the red-haired man saw this, he was furious and made a hand seal. The flaming sword doubled in size, its flames rising higher.

The yellow light shield broke completely.

The two Spatial Tempering stage cultivators and the group of Deity Transformation cultivators felt their bodies relax and they finally regained their freedom.

After a slight pause, the flaming sword continued to slash at the black figure.

The figure raised his head and the light in between his eyebrows grew bigger. Countless black runes appeared and a thick black light flew out of it and hit the huge sword.

With a bang, the black light burst open!

Half of the flames on the huge sword disappeared and the surrounding space was full of ripples, making the sword stay in mid-air, unable to fall any further.

“Shattering Magic!” The red-haired man was surprised.

The figure made hand seals with two hands as he chanted and a purple electric light appeared on his body and spread rapidly becoming a lightning array with him as the center. The light in the array turned bright and gave out a loud sound, making the figure turn blurry.

“Where are you running to!”

The red-haired man let out a furious shout and the flames on the sword rose again. The sword shook and suddenly split into two.

A shadow flame sword of the same size as the huge sword suddenly cut down and its speed was several times faster than that of the huge flaming sword as it hit the lightning array.

With a loud boom, dazzling red light burst out and a violent air spread around.

The bodies of the two Spatial Tempering cultivators were badly shocked and they stepped back a few steps before they could stabilize themselves. The knees of the Deity Transformation patrol leaders felt weak and they knelt down pitifully. The spiritual glow around their bodies was trembling and they could not stand up.

The red light spread out and deep marks appeared on the surface of the ground, but that black figure had disappeared.

Everyone’s expression changed and they looked at one another before looking at the red-haired man.

The red-haired man’s face was livid and there was deep-seated rage in his eyes.

At this moment, in the middle of the secret chamber of Han Li’s cavern.

A big purple array was drawn on the ground and threads of electric currents were spreading inside the array. Han Li had his eyes closed and was sitting cross-legged beside the array.

The purple array suddenly shone with a dazzling electric light and with a loud bang, a figure wrapped in black gas appeared.

Han Li suddenly opened his eyes. A trace of joy flashed past them and he waved his hand. The black gas around the figure quickly dissipated and revealed an armored man with silver light shining around his body. His eyes were dull as he was a talisman soldier.

Half of the silver armored man was destroyed and he was almost at the point of collapse.

Han Li cast another spell and twenty to thirty jade slips flew out from the armored man and landed in his hands.

He put away the jade slips and then reached out a finger to tap on the area between the armored man’s eyebrows.

Black light flashed and an egg sized black ball flew out. Inside it was silver gas flowing slowly.

At the same time, the armored man’s body flashed and his body collapsed into a broken silver and purple talisman.

This silver talisman was a First Primordial talisman and the purple talisman a High Zenith Invisibility talisman. They were made with the materials Han Li had stolen a few days ago when he sneaked into Celestial Palace Hall.

Unfortunately, this First Primordial talisman was too damaged to be used anymore.
