Once Han Li made up his mind, he quietly flew away from the mountain peak on his artifact.
Later, when the Qi Condensation cultivators who had spoken with Han Li gathered at White Pond, they were puzzled by the absence of the esteemed “senior” they had met earlier.
Han Li first went to the Tianxing Sect Market to purchase all the materials needed to repair the ancient teleportation array according to his list, then headed straight for Yue Country.
This time, he didn’t enter Yue Country by the same route as before. Instead, he took a detour, sneaking in through a remote area along the border between Yuanwu Country and Yue Country. Since Yue Country was now under the control of demonic sects, he had no intention of being chased down the moment he stepped into dangerous territory.
Unbeknownst to Han Li, his caution inadvertently helped him avoid a crisis.
The demonic sects had stationed numerous patrols along most of Yue Country’s borders, keeping watch day and night. Had Han Li recklessly returned by his original route, he would undoubtedly have been detected, and a fierce chase would have been unavoidable.
Now safely inside Yue Country, Han Li stuck to sparsely populated areas and managed to reach the vicinity of the spirit stone mine where the ancient teleportation array was located without encountering any danger.
The mine had naturally fallen into the hands of demonic sects. From a distance, Han Li stealthily observed disciples dressed in green and white robes. Judging by the green ghost head and pink peach blossom emblems on their sleeves, they were likely cultivators from the Ghost Spirit Sect and the合欢宗.
