Han Li took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and focused single-mindedly on directing the black qi from the Myriad Soul Herb toward the black ripples in his mind, attempting to break the restriction.

With his past experience in contending against this restriction, he was able to make some rapid progress, and the black ripples quickly began to display signs of loosening.

Han Li's eyes lit up as he unleashed his Sword Observation Arts once again, but this time, he conjured up three spiritual sense swords at once, all of which shot forth in unison to strike three different points in the black ripples.

Three tiny gashes were instantly sliced into the black ripples, which immediately attempted to seal the gashes, but right at this moment, three translucent spiritual sense chains shot out of Han Li's soul, forcing their way into the three gashes.

The black ripples were doing everything in their power to seal the gashes, but the spiritual sense chains were extremely resilient and remained firmly in place. On top of that, they were releasing bursts of translucent light while wriggling incessantly, attempting to widen the three gashes.

A fierce clash ensued between the black ripples and spiritual sense chains, plunging Han Li's mind into a state of complete chaos, but Han Li was ecstatic to see this, and he closed his eyes while continuing to attack the black ripples with his spiritual sense and the power of the Myriad Soul Herb.

A day and a night flew by in the blink of an eye.

Han Li remained completely still, leaning against the wall of his cell this entire time, while the unrest in his mind continued to rage incessantly.

At this point, dozens of gashes had already been torn into the black ripples, every single one of which was filled by a spiritual sense chain that was squirming incessantly.

Upon closer inspection, one would discover that the restriction had dimmed significantly, and it was also trembling violently, but it remained stubbornly intact.

At this point, Han Li's complexion had turned quite pale, and large droplets of sweat were dripping down from his face.

After a day and a night of tireless toil, his spiritual sense had been severely overexerted, and the Myriad Soul Herb's medicinal power was also close to running out, so he wouldn't be able to keep this up for much longer.

As expected of a seal planted by a Great Encompassment cultivator. I have to make my move now!

With that in mind, Han Li gritted his teeth, and the dozens of spiritual sense chains in his mind lit up in unison while also flailing violently like tentacles, further widening the dozens of gashes in the black ripples and causing them to flash erratically.Updated chapters at novelhall.com

At the same time, all of the spiritual sense in Han Li's mind was being directed into the spiritual sense chains, rapidly strengthening and thickening them.

Simultaneously, the black qi formed by the Myriad Soul Herb transformed into a pair of giant black hands that grabbed onto the black ripples before tearing them apart to widen the gashes even further.

Despite this, the restriction was still standing strong, displaying no signs of breaking apart.

In one final effort, Han Li conjured up a series of translucent sword projections with his Sword Observation Arts, and all of them instantly converged to form a giant sword projection that struck the black ripples with tremendous force.

A huge gash was instantly torn into the black ripples, and they were unable to hold themselves together any longer, exploding with a dull thump before quickly dissipating.

At the same time, what little remained of the Myriad Soul Herb's medicinal power was also completely scattered by the destruction of the black ripples.

Han Li immediately began gasping for air, and with all of his spiritual sense exhausted, he was on the verge of blacking out.

Bursts of black light instantly emerged over Baili Yan's head, illuminating the rest of his body black as well.

A projection of a barefoot woman sitting on a lotus flower chair appeared within the black light, and the woman had a benevolent smile of unconditional love on her face, as if she were the mother of all things.

The projection raised an arm before gently stroking a hand over Baili Yan's hand while murmuring something to him, much like a mother waking her child.

A series of black ripples instantly appeared over Baili Yan's head before spreading outward, and in the next instant, he abruptly shuddered before slowly opening his eyes, following which the projection of the woman faded away.

A bewildered look flashed through Han Li's eyes upon seeing this.

"No matter how many times I see it, your soul calling ability still never ceases to amaze me, Ms. You Luo. I've heard that even if someone's dead, as long as they haven't been dead for more than three days and their soul is still intact, you can resurrect them using this technique. Is that really true?" Yin Chan asked with an admiring look in his eyes.

"Next," You Luo said with a cold expression, completely ignoring Yin Chan's question.

"My apologies for speaking out of turn, Ms. You Luo," Yin Chan apologized with a sheepish smile, then hurriedly entered Fox 3's cell before feeding him a Heavenly Yin Soul Nourishing Pills.

You Luo unleashed the same soul calling technique again, and Fox 3 quickly awakened as well.

Before long, Mo Guang and Shi Chuankong had also returned to consciousness, and You Luo turned to Yin Chan with a serious expression as she warned, "What happens next is strictly confidential, so it would be best if you didn't know anything about it."

Yin Chan faltered slightly upon hearing this, then nodded in response before making a hand seal, conjuring up black light barriers around all of the cells aside from the ones that Han Li's group were in.

"I've already activated the restrictions on all of the other cells, so take your time, and call for me when you're done," Yin Chan said, then turned to depart.

In the instant that he turned around, You Luo reached out like lightning to tap a finger against the back of his chest, releasing a burst of black light into his body.

Yin Chan's expression changed drastically, but before he had a chance to do anything, a ball of black light emerged over his head, and he was completely immobilized and rooted to the spot with an alarmed look on his face.

Han Li and the others were naturally very surprised to see this, and they all turned to You Luo with wary expressions.

You Luo withdrew her arm, then made her way into Han Li's cell.

Han Li struggled to his feet as he looked directly at You Luo and said, "It sounds like you need us to do something for you. May I ask what that is?"

All of a sudden, You Luo made a hand seal, releasing a streak of white light that flew around Han Li in a flash, severing all of the shackles on his body.

"Who are you, and what's the meaning of this?" Han Li asked.

"Do you still not know who I am?" You Luo asked with a faint smile.
