After leaving the Star Tower, Han Li, like the other cultivators, walked along the White Stone Square to a nearby street, and soon merged into the surrounding crowd.
Black Wind City was the most prosperous place in the Black Wind Sea, and this place was also the most prosperous place in Black Wind City. He still had some impression of the shops and buildings on both sides of the street.
It was basically the same as before, but there were a few more extremely luxurious shops on the busiest streets. The business of these shops was also very good. Many cultivators came in and out, and it seemed that they wouldn't stop for a moment.
Han Li walked into a nearby street casually.
Most of the shops on this street were material shops. He turned around and glanced at the Heaven Star Tower before walking into one of the shops.
The area of this shop was not big, and there were not many customers in the shop. When a shop assistant saw Han Li come in, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
"Sir, what materials do you need?"
Han Li casually chatted with the shop assistant, but his eyes were always looking at the Star Tower Square.
After half an hour, there was still no movement in the square.
Han Li frowned slightly.
Right at that moment, a group of cultivators appeared in a remote corner of the plaza.
One of them was the hunchbacked old woman, and the few people behind her were the group of cultivators in white. The middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows was among them, but he was walking at the back of the group.
The few of them didn't stay there, and immediately flew in one direction, disappearing into the distant sky in the blink of an eye.
Han Li's heart moved, and he thought to himself, as expected.
If he remembered correctly, that direction was the location of the Island Lord's Mansion.
After buying a few materials, he left the shop and looked in the direction of the group of people. There was a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
Then Han Li shook his head, turned and walked in another direction.
No matter what relationship these people had with the Black Wind Island Lord, or what they were plotting, it should have nothing to do with him. In that case, it was better not to cause trouble for himself.
Han Li walked along the street, passing through a few streets. When his figure walked out of a secluded alley, his figure and appearance changed again, turning into the appearance of a yellow-faced man.
It was easy for the Anicca Alliance to change his appearance, so he would change his appearance at every place he passed along the way just in case.
In the following period of time, he wandered around Black Wind City, making up for all the things he still lacked.
Perhaps it was because the Blackwind Sea Region had more connections with the outside world than before, but the city was indeed much more prosperous than before. All kinds of rare spiritual materials, elixirs, and other items began to appear in various shops.
Half a day later, Han Li soared into the sky and transformed into an azure ray of light that flew towards the distance.
After a while, he landed on the square in front of the Island Lord's Mansion.
With a cursory glance, it didn't seem to have changed much compared to before. The only difference was that the Island King's Mansion was shrouded in layers of restrictions, and there were even some cultivators patrolling nearby. It was much stricter than before.
Han Li didn't stay where he was and walked into the Talisman Hall next to him.
There were many cultivators gathered in the hall, much more than before. The mission stone wall was still standing there, densely filled with various missions, and there were more than before.
Compared with before, the content of the mission had also changed a lot. Among them, there were many more missions to defend against the enemy, all in order to fight against Green Feather Island.
There were even missions that directly offered rewards to hunt down Green Feather Island cultivators. Every kill would have a corresponding reward.
Han Li quickly browsed the stone wall and quickly read all the missions on it.
There was no information related to him on the stone wall, not even the slightest mention of the Fire Dragon Path.
Seeing this, Han Li still couldn't be completely relieved.
He wandered around the hall twice, found a few cultivators who were looking at the mission, and inquired about it indirectly. After confirming that there were no signs of him being chased by the Immortal Palace recently, he was relieved.
But before leaving, in order not to attract attention, he casually accepted a mission to collect materials from some kind of demon beast.
After walking out of the Talisman Hall, Han Li looked back in the direction of the Island King's Mansion, and then turned into a blue light, flying toward the city gate.
As a result, just as he was flying halfway, a sudden change occurred!
A dull roar suddenly came from all directions of the island, mixed with a loud crashing sound.
Han Li's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly came to a halt before surveying his surroundings.
He saw a blue beam of light around Black Wind City, soaring into the sky, like a fence enveloping the entire Black Wind City.
A powerful wave of power emanated from the beam of light, and the void trembled.
Circles of water splendor radiated from the blue beam of light. These originally straight beams of light quickly bent and converged toward the middle, and soon merged together. The beams of light were also connected between the beams of light.
In a moment, a thick blue light curtain emerged, wrapping the entire city inside.
On the light curtain, countless ripples of light flowed like water, layer upon layer, and one could tell at a glance that it was an extremely exquisite formation.
Han Li frowned slightly, and after a moment of thought, he continued to fly forward, and soon arrived at the city gate.
There were many people gathered here, and all kinds of voices intertwined together, making it unusually noisy.
Han Li quietly landed at the edge of the crowd and merged into the crowd.
At this moment, several cultivators at the front of the crowd were saying to the city guards in black robes:
"What's going on?
Why did you suddenly open the city protection formation? "
"We have an urgent matter to attend to and are in a hurry to leave the city. Can you guys do us a favor?"
"Everyone, Island Master Lu ordered the city protection formation to be opened because he received news that the people of Green Feather Island intended to sneak attack our Black Wind City.
Just in case, the formation was activated.
As long as the enemy is eliminated, the formation will immediately be canceled. "The leader of the guards cupped his hands and said loudly to the crowd.
Han Li stood aside, and when he heard this, he was a little surprised.
Although he had already known that the conflict between Black Wind Island and Green Feather Island was getting more and more intense, he did not expect that it had reached the point of opening the city protection formation.
And looking at the reaction of the surrounding people, it seemed that they were not too surprised by the explanation of the leader of the guards.
"Fellow, is the city protection formation here often opened?" Han Li thought for a moment and asked a red-robed old man next to him.
When the red-robed old man heard this, he looked at Han Li with some surprise and said, "Are you not a cultivator of Black Wind City?"
"I just came to Black Wind Island by the teleportation formation, and I'm not familiar with many things here. Please give me some advice." Han Li chuckled and said very politely.
"Oh, that's no wonder.
The battle between Black Wind Island and Green Feather Island has become more and more intense in recent years. Although Black Wind City is the base camp of Black Wind Island, it is not very safe. In these years, the city protection formation has indeed been opened many times. "The red-robed old man nodded first and then said.
"Oh, how is the battle between the two sides? Which side has the upper hand?" Han Li paused for a moment and continued to ask.
"The overall strength of Black Wind Island was originally stronger than that of Green Feather Island, but Green Feather Island has drawn in many peripheral islands over the years, and its strength has greatly increased. It is already able to compete with Black Wind Island.
Alas, I don't know when this battle will end. "The red-robed old man sighed and said.
Han Li nodded slowly, his eyes flashing, and no one knew what he was thinking.
While the crowd was buzzing, a dark-faced middle-aged man who had reached the Mahayana stage came out of the crowd and asked in a clear voice, "May I ask you, when will you be able to cancel the formation?
You can't let so many of us wait endlessly. "
"It turned out to be Patriarch Tai.
I don't know the specific situation, maybe two or three days … It may also take ten days or half a month.
If there is a special situation and you need to leave Black Wind City, you can go to the Island King's Mansion to see Island Master Lu. We will not stop you from leaving the city. "The leader of the guards looked at the man and said.
The dark-faced middle-aged man heard this and frowned, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Although everyone was still a little reluctant, they obviously didn't dare to offend the people of the Island King's Mansion. As for going to the Island King's Mansion to apply for a city exit order, naturally no one was really in a hurry to do so.
After discussing for a while, the cultivators gathered at the city gate quickly dispersed.
Han Li frowned slightly and sighed in his heart.
It seemed that his luck was not good. If he had left a little earlier, he might have left the city smoothly by now.
He looked at the blue light screen in midair and said goodbye to the red-robed old man beside him. Then, he turned around and went back the way he came.
Although the activation of the Great City Barrier Formation caused a commotion in the city, it quickly calmed down. After all, this kind of situation had happened many times. Although everyone had some complaints, after a few words of complaint, they continued to do their own things.
Not long after, Han Li found an inn in a remote area of Black Wind City and stayed there, shutting himself in.
Time passed bit by bit, and night soon fell.
Within the secret chamber, Han Li abruptly opened his eyes and rose to his feet. He waved a hand through the air and a dozen or so streaks of azure light shot forth, landing in various parts of the room to set up a restriction.
Immediately after, he made a sign with his hand, and golden lightning appeared around his body. It spread to the surroundings and quickly condensed into a golden lightning array.
"Teleport!"
He made a sign and waved. Suddenly, the lightning array suddenly lit up. His figure blurred and immediately disappeared from the array without a trace.
Some residual golden lightning light fluctuated a few times in the room, and soon disappeared completely.
At the same time, in a secret room deep under the Island King's Mansion.
The light here was dim, and the surrounding black light surged up and down like waves.
In the center of the secret room, there was a huge blue jade platform. On top of it, there were blue formation flags floating. There were at least tens of thousands of them.
Dazzling blue light emitted from these formation flags, condensing into a hemispherical blue light curtain, covering the blue jade platform below.
