A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm-Chapter 1291: Reunion

The pair of devilish beings trapped within the saber array didn't know what was happening, but they seemed to have realized that reinforcements had arrived, and they immediately began their retaliation.

A silver lute appeared in the hands of the taller devilish being, and as he strummed his fingers over its strings, around a dozen long, black spatial rifts emerged around him, then darted toward the broken section of the saber array like a nest of den of black pythons.

A loud tearing sound rang out as the saber array was torn apart even further, to the point that only a thin layer of it remained.

A combination of shock and recognition instantly appeared in Han Li's eyes upon seeing this.

Immediately thereafter, the black-robed woman also sprang into action, sweeping her sleeves through the air to release a pair of purple balls, which transformed into two purple puppets with arcs of purple lightning flashing over their bodies.

The auras of these two puppets weren't inferior to hers in the slightest, and the purple lightning flashing over their bodies contained a type of explosive lightning law powers.

The woman spread her hands open, and ten black threads that were imbued with a type of peculiar law powers shot out of her fingertips before vanishing into the bodies of the two puppets.

The auras of the purple puppets instantly swelled by around twofold, and they transformed into a pair of giant, purple balls of lightning before exploding violently.

Finally, the saber projection was unable to hold itself together any longer, and a huge hole was torn into it by the force of the explosion.

The taller devilish being immediately grabbed onto the black-robed woman's arm before flying out of the hole in the saber array as a streak of silver light, and they were met by Han Li a short distance away.

Wary looks appeared on the faces of the two devilish beings, and the taller one of the two asked, "Who are you?"

At the moment, Han Li had adopted a disguise using his black Reincarnation Palace mask that made him strongly resemble a ghostly entity, so it was no wonder that these two devilish beings were so wary of him.

Jin Tong and Weeping Soul had flown back to Han Li's side, while the Shang Goat beings were also storming toward them from afar.

"This isn't the place to talk, let's get out of here," Han Li said as he swept a sleeve through the air, and five enormous bolts of golden lightning erupted out of his hand, threatening to tear the surrounding space apart.

This was the first time that Han Li was using his Cardinal Heavenly Lightning since reaching the pinnacle of the mid-Great Encompassment Stage, and its tremendous power came as a surprise even to himself.

The five bolts of lightning descended near the group before intertwining to form a lightning teleportation array, but right at this moment, the black-robed woman spread her fingers open to release five black threads once again, and they vanished into the surrounding lightning array, upon which the array instantly fell still, as if it had fallen under her control.

A hint of surprise flashed through Han Li's eyes upon seeing this.

"Where are you planning to take us?" the woman yelled, and her companion did nothing to stop her.

It was clear to them that this lightning array was intended to teleport them away from this place, and even though Han Li's trio had just saved them, they were still unable to tell whether their saviors were friends or foe.

As for the approaching Shang Goat beings, the taller devilish being didn't regard them as a threat. Now that they had been freed from the encirclement, they could get away anytime that they pleased.

With no time to explain, Han Li swept a sleeve through the air to eradicate the black threads extending out of the black-robed woman's fingertips, and the golden lightning array instantly took shape.

A storm of black saber projections from the Shang Goat beings tore through the surrounding area, but by then, Han Li and the others had already vanished from within the lightning array.

The Shang Goat beings began yelling and cursing as they continued to attack the spot where the lightning array had been just a moment ago to vent their frustration.

"Alright, that's enough!"

An authoritative voice rang out as a particularly tall and imposing Shang Goat being emerged.

This Shang Goat being was roughly twice the height of his brethren, and he had a pair of scimitar-like horns on his head, giving him a very authoritative appearance.

All the other Shang Goat beings immediately turned to him, and one of them asked, "Should we go after them, Chief?"

"I'd like to see you try! Those outsiders were very powerful, and their allies seem to be just as formidable, if not more so. You can go after them if you like, but don't blame me if you get yourself killed!" the chief of the Shang Goat Ghost Tribe sneered.

The other Shang Goat being immediately hung his head and fell silent upon hearing this.

"Let's all go back and report this matter to the Horse King Tribe," the chief declared, and all of the Shang Goat beings promptly departed.

......

In the sky above a black forest several million kilometers away, a golden lightning array abruptly appeared out of thin air with Han Li and the other inside.

However, instead of dissipating, the lightning array immediately activated once again, teleporting Han Li's group away a second time.

After several stints of teleportation in rapid succession, the group appeared over a dark red desert, and only then did the lightning array finally fade away.

The two devilish beings immediately sprang back in retreat as they asked in a wary manner, "Who are you?"

"It's me," Han Li said as he reverted back to his original appearance.

"Fellow Daoist Han!" the taller devilish being exclaimed as he pulled down the hook of his cloak, revealing himself to be none other than Shi Chuankong.

He was significantly taller than before, and his physique had also become far more muscular, clearly indicating that he had made some stunning progress in the realm of physical cultivation.

"I didn't think we would be reunited here in the underworld, Fellow Daoist Shi," Han Li said, then turned to the black-robed woman with an affectionate look in his eyes.

"Long time no see, Violet Spirit."

"What are you doing here, Brother Han?" the black-robed woman asked as she also removed her own hood to reveal a set of stunningly beautiful features.

Having just endured a fierce battle, she was looking a little pale, and her chest was heaving slightly from exertion, giving her an additional layer of allure.

A wave of emotions welled up in Han Li's heart at the sight of her, but he forcibly suppressed them.

Seeing as Han Li had already revealed his true appearance, Jin Tong and Weeping Soul also did the same.

Violet Spirit's brows furrowed slightly at the sight of them, but she didn't say anything.

Han Li naturally noticed the change in her expression, and he introduced, "These two are Jin Tong and Weeping Soul. They used to be my spirit beasts, but both of them have attained human forms."

Violet Spirit's concerns were immediately put to rest upon hearing this, and she turned to the two of them with an intrigued smile.

Han Li had told her about Jin Tong and Weeping Soul in the past, and they had even met back in the mortal realm. However, at the time, Jin Tong and Weeping Soul were still yet to attain high levels of intelligence.

Back then, they had still been a soul-sucking giant ape and a Gold Devouring Beetle, yet both of them had undergone massive transformations since then.

Jin Tong merely gave Violet Spirit a nod, while Weeping Soul was much more friendly as she said, "I heard from my master that you two previously met in the Devil Realm, but at the time, I was in an unconscious state in the Flower Branch domain."

"Indeed. Thank you for saving me and Fellow Daoist Shi," Violet Spirit said as he extended a grateful salute toward Weeping Soul and Jin Tong.

"There's no need to thank us, Fellow Daoist Violet Spirit. It's only right that we come to the rescue of someone so close to our master's heart," Weeping Soul replied with a smile.

A faint blush appeared on Violet Spirit's face upon hearing this, while Shi Chuankong placed a hand on Han Li's shoulder as he jibed, "Look at all these beauties around you! You truly are the envy of all men, Fellow Daoist Han."

Han Li slapped his hand away as he replied in an exasperated manner, "Quit talking nonsense! Jin Tong and Weeping Soul are just companions of mine. By the way, what are the two of you doing here?"

A hesitant look appeared on Shi Chuankong's face, and he didn't immediately respond.

"If the answer concerns some secret of yours, then just pretend like I never asked," Han Li said.

"Thank you for being so considerate, Fellow Daoist Han," Shi Chuankong said in a relieved manner.

Violet Spirit turned to Shi Chuankong as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately decided against it.

Shi Chuankong also wanted to ask Han Li why he was in the underworld, but he felt too embarrassed to ask, seeing as he had refused to answer the same question when posed to him by Han Li.

In order to break the awkward silence, he looked around as he asked, "What is this place?"

"Judging from the environment, it looks like this should be a place called the Hellfire Desert. The climate here is very hot, so most ghostly beings stay far away from here. As a result, there aren't any powerful tribes residing nearby, making it a relatively safe place. Do you two need to take a rest?" Han Li asked.

"I would like to take a rest. I'm a little weary from the earlier battle," Violet Spirit replied.

The battle against the Shang Goat beings had taken its toll on her, and now that she and Shi Chuankong had been saved, a wave of exhaustion was walking over here.

"In that case, let's rest here for a while," Shi Chuankong said as he swept a sleeve through the air to release several hundred streaks of black light, all of which were array tools that landed in the surrounding area to form a black light barrier that was several thousand feet in diameter.

Violet Spirit and Shi Chuankong sat down with their legs crossed and pulled out some Devilish Origin Stone to aid them in their recovery, while Han Li's trio stood on lookout duty.
