Chapter 383: Departure

As the black cloud revolved faster and faster, more and more bolts of black lightning appeared within the black vortex at the center of the cloud, presenting a harrowing sight to behold.

All of a sudden, a resounding boom rang out as a thick pillar of black light came crashing down from the the center of the vortex, plummeting directly toward Han Li's cave abode.

Right at his moment, a burst of bright gray light erupted out of the top of Han Li's cave abode before forming a gray mountain projection in the blink of an eye.

The pillar of black light struck the mountain projection as soon as it took shape, and an earth-shattering boom rang out as the pillar of black light pierced straight through the projection before crashing into the cave abode down below.

The entire secret area shuddered violently as countless cracks appeared all over all of the nearby mountains, and countless rocks came falling down like rain.

After releasing the pillar of black light, the black cloud in the sky rapidly shrank down before vanishing altogether in just a few seconds.

Everything returned to normal in the secret area, and it was as if the black cloud had never even appeared.

After the black cloud faded, the massive golden array that encompassed the entire secret area was also stabilized.n(-OvelbIn

Wyrm 3 made a hand seal, and the pillar of golden light around him vanished.

An anxious look appeared on his face, and he flew toward Han Li's cave abode before the pillar of golden light had even completely faded.

The scar-faced man was just about to join him when a thought seemed to have occurred to him, and he stopped in his tracks.

Wyrm 3 appeared in front of Han Li's cave abode in a flash, but at this moment, the entire cave abode was enshrouded within several light barriers, making it impossible for Wyrm 3 to detect what was happening inside.

He was very anxious to find out what was happening, but he didn't force his way into the cave abode.

Only after a full 15 minutes had passed by did all of the light barriers recede, revealing the gate of the cave abode, which was already wide open.

"Come in, Fellow Daoist Wyrm 3," Han Li invited from within his cave abode.

Wyrm 3 was slightly reassured after hearing the calm tone of Han Li's voice, and he immediately made his way inside.

At this moment, Han Li was standing in the guest hall of his cave abode. His complexion was a little pale, and his aura was also slightly unstable.

There was a black jade box sitting on the table in front of him, and even though the box's lid was tightly shut, there were still faint law power fluctuations emanating out from within.

Wyrm 3's gaze immediately fell upon the jade box.

"What you want is inside the box, Fellow Daoist Wyrm 3," Han Li said with a faint smile as he made an inviting hand gesture.

Wyrm 3 nodded in response, then drew the jade box into his grasp before carefully opening it after taking a deep breath.

Inside the box was a black longan-sized pill that was giving off translucent black radiance, and there was a black dao mark on the pill that was giving off formidable law power fluctuations.

"He's only just become a Reincarnation Disciple, so we still don't know if he's completely reliable. This is a very important mission, and it's best to be more cautious," Wyrm 3 replied.

"While we do have a Void Origin Pill now, we still have a severe shortage of capable personnel. Baili Yan and Daoist Hu Yan have both gone missing, so we don't even have anyone that can directly oppose Xiao Jinhan," the scar-faced man said with a concerned expression.

"According to my knowledge, Baili Yan should still be alive. Now that the emergence of the Infernal Frost Immortal Palace is imminent, he'll be sure to appear as long as he still harbors ambitions of reaching the High Zenith Stage. As for Xiao Jinhan, let's do our best to avoid direct confrontation with him and have the Vast Flow Palace and the Dawn Fall Sect deal with him," Wyrm 3 said.

All of a sudden, a thought occurred to the scar-faced man, and he said, "By the way, I've just received word that a strange person has appeared near Red Moon Island."

"Who is it?" Wyrm 3 asked.

"It's a silver-robed woman with a giant golden beetle steed. We don't know who she is, but she appears to be a Golden Immortal," the scar-faced man replied.

"A silver-robed woman with a golden beetle... I don't recall anyone of that description in the top three sects of our immortal region. If she's appeared near Red Moon Island, then she's most likely targeting the Infernal Frost Immortal Manor as well," Wyrm 3 mused.

"I've already sent some people to follow her as a safety precaution, but I'm sure she won't be able to have any substantial impact on her own. Now that we have an Origin Void Pill, we can proceed with our original plan, so I have to go and make some preparations," the scar-faced man said.

Before Wyrm 3 had a chance to reply, a vast expanse of black light erupted out of the scar-faced man's body, following which he vanished into thin air.

Wyrm 3 didn't linger much longer, either, flying away as a streak of light.

......

Meanwhile, Han Li had already left the secret area, and he was faced with a boundless expanse of Soul Stirring Wind.

Instead of immediately summoning the Wind Shelter Bead, he raised a hand to conjure up an azure light barrier around his body, keeping out the surrounding Soul Stirring Winds.

Even though the Soul Stirring Winds were kept at bay, the ghastly noises they produced were still able to seep in through the azure light barrier.

Han Li stood with his hands clasped behind his back, and he listened to these harrowing sounds for a while before giving a slight nod.

At the moment, his spiritual sense was extremely stable, completely unaffected by the sounds outside, so it appeared that the spiritual sense crisis was well and truly behind him, at least for the time being.

In the next instant, he swept a sleeve through the air, and a miniature gray mountain flew out of his sleeve.

This was none other than the Integrated Five Extremes Mountain, and he swept his spiritual sense over it momentarily before giving a pleased nod.

He had only attracted a single pill tribulation following his successful refinement of the Origin Void Pill, and the mountain had been able to withstand it with ease.

This served as further confirmation to him that this treasure was indeed able to ward off pill tribulations better than all other immortal treasures.

As for the pale complexion and unstable aura he had displayed at the end, that had merely been a facade to fool Wyrm 3.

On top of that, what he had said about using up all of the pill refinement ingredients was also untrue.

There were still seven batches of ingredients left in his storage bracelet, and he was planning to use them to refine some more Origin Void Pills so that he could study them.

He couldn't shake the feeling that these Origin Void Pills were somehow connected to dao pills, and perhaps uncovering the nature of this connection would help him in his future pill refinement.
