"Brother Liu, don't worry. I won't tell anyone about what happened here today, including my father," Lu Yuqing said solemnly. She seemed to have noticed Han Li's uneasiness.
"Thank you.
I'm just a wandering cultivator. I really don't want to get involved in the battle between Blackwind Island and Qingyu Island, "Han Li said with a nod.
"Brother Liu saved my life. I should be the one thanking you," Lu Yuqing said with a chuckle.
Han Li smiled faintly and said nothing.
He had just thought about it carefully. It was not a big deal if his whereabouts were exposed.
At most, they would know a wandering cultivator named Liu Shi. He had changed his appearance when he came to Blackwind Island. They might not be able to find out that he was Liu Shi of Wu Meng Island. After all, there were too many cultivators in the Blackwind Sea. It was not uncommon to find people with the same name.
As soon as he thought of this, his heart calmed down slightly.
"However, the battle between Blackwind Island and Qingyu Island will continue to expand in the future. Sooner or later, the entire Blackwind Sea will be involved. I'm afraid it won't be easy to stay out of it.
Brother Liu has saved me twice, and Yuqing is very grateful. Father also highly praised you back then. If Brother Liu … if you are willing to come to our Blackwind Island, you will definitely be put in an important position. Blackwind Island treats some of the elders very well, "Lu Yuqing said slowly.
When Han Li heard this, his expression didn't change and he merely smiled in a noncommittal manner.
Seeing this, Lu Yuqing's beautiful eyes flashed a trace of disappointment. She then took out a black token and handed it over. She said, "Since Brother Liu has made up his mind, I won't say anything else.
This is my personal token. If Brother Liu wants to go to Blackwind Island in the future, you can come and go freely with this token. "
When Han Li heard this, he took the command medallion and glanced at it before putting it away.
"I still have important things to do. I'll leave now.
Fellow Lu, you should also return to Blackwind Island quickly. It's not safe here. "
After saying this, he turned into a blue light and flew away. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the distance.
Lu Yuqing watched Han Li leave. She looked a little lost.
She didn't stay here any longer and quickly turned around and flew toward Blackwind Island.
Han Li flew forward for some distance. Suddenly, his eyes flashed and he changed his direction, flying in another direction.
After flying for another half a day, they finally left the battlefield of Black Wind Island and Green Feather Island.
Han Li immediately increased his speed, transforming into a green streak of light that streaked across the sky like a bolt of lightning.
After flying like this for more than ten days, they gradually arrived at an extremely remote area of the Black Wind Sea Region. It was rare to even see an island.
Han Li stopped the escape light. After glancing around, he immediately released his Divine Sense.
In the next moment, his body suddenly dived down and disappeared into the sea with a splash.
After diving for a while, a deep trench appeared in front of him.
Han Li did not slow down and soon reached the bottom.
He found a flat piece of land, took out a stack of blue array flags and array discs, and set them up one by one.
This array was quite complicated. Han Li took more than two hours to set it up.
He muttered an incantation, and a blue light barrier appeared, instantly enveloping an area of several hundred feet in radius.
However, this blue light shield was extremely dim and hard to see in the sea. Even if one was very close, they wouldn't be able to see it if they didn't pay attention. Moreover, it didn't emit any spiritual power.
Han Li sensed it and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He waved his hand and a dozen golden Lightning Restrain Wood appeared.
Every Lightning Restrain Wood was carved with array inscriptions. It was his long-distance teleportation array.
Although Lu Yuqing promised not to leak his whereabouts, he didn't dare to be careless.
After spending a day and a night, he finally finished setting up the array.
Han Li waved his hand and made a hand seal. Golden lightning suddenly appeared in the teleportation array and crackled. The array buzzed and operated, causing the void to tremble.
However, the trembling of the lightning was completely isolated by the blue restriction outside. It didn't spread to the outside at all.
Seeing this, Han Li hurriedly stopped casting the array and nodded.
In the following time, he inspected the array again. After confirming that there were no problems, he didn't stay any longer and quietly left this region of the sea.
A month later.
A red sun gradually peeked out from the eastern horizon. The entire Wu Meng Island was still shrouded in a hazy mist.
As the sea breeze blew, the mist slowly began to disperse. The branches and leaves of the forest on the island swayed and rustled. Smoke began to curl up from the chimneys of the mortal towns on the island. It was a peaceful scene everywhere.
The void above the island rippled and Han Li's figure appeared.
He used the Invisibility Technique again. His entire body was shrouded in a faint layer of watery light. He was like a hazy shadow that could blend into the void at any time.
Han Li felt the peace and tranquility of this place and his expression seemed to relax slightly.
In the current Black Wind Sea Region, only a remote island like Wu Meng Island could enjoy the peace and tranquility of a paradise.
He looked down, and his expression suddenly froze.
There were basically no changes to the other parts of the island. However, the village-like buildings of the Luo Clan had disappeared without a trace. Instead, they were replaced by a magnificent palace. There were jade pavilions everywhere. There were also some blooming lotuses and red-crowned cranes and spiritual birds flying around. It was a magnificent scene of immortals.
Rays of light flew around the palace. They were all disciples of the Luo Clan.
The number of disciples of the Luo Clan was much greater than before. Their cultivation levels were also much higher than before. It seemed that Wu Meng Island had been thriving in the past few years. Some of the mortal cities on the island were also flourishing and the population had increased greatly.
A look of satisfaction appeared on Han Li's face. His figure flickered and disappeared from mid-air. Then, he reappeared in front of a palace below.
There was a huge altar inside the palace. A statue stood at the top of the altar. It was Han Li's statue of the Earth Deity.
At this moment, two figures were bowing down at the bottom of the altar. They were whispering something.
Both of them were at the Great Ascension Stage. Powerful power of faith emanated from their bodies and converged on the idols.
After a while, the two of them stopped bowing and raised their heads.
One of them was Luo Feng. His cultivation level had increased a lot compared to before.
The other was a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was wearing the clothes of the Luo Clan.
Han Li had some impression of this person. He was a Form Synthesis Elder of the Luo Clan. He should have reached the Great Vehicle Stage in the past few hundred years.
At this moment, a series of footsteps came from outside the palace. A Youth walked in. He was also wearing the clothes of the Luo Clan.
This person did not enter the palace. He bowed outside the palace and said respectfully, "Reporting to Clan Leader, Great Elder, the preparations for the ceremony are ready."
Luo Feng stood up and asked, "Good. Are the Island Lords here?"
"Island Lord Iron Cliff and Island Lord Chenzhong sent a message. They have already set off. Island Lord Spirit Cloud said that there are some important matters on Dusk Cloud Island that need to be dealt with. They will only set off later. However, they will not delay the ceremony tomorrow," the Youth replied respectfully.
When Han Li heard this, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Iron Cliff and Chenzhong were two Loose Immortals who had submitted to him after he had taken over Cold Hill and Madam Hungu. He had assigned them to oversee the islands of the Blue Crystal Clan and the Blue Crystal Clan.
Dusk Cloud Island was an island near Wu Meng Island. From the Youth's words, it seemed that Dusk Cloud Island had also submitted to Wu Meng Island.
When he thought of this, Han Li nodded.
It seemed that Luo Feng and the others had managed Wu Meng Island well. Wu Meng Island's influence was gradually growing. It should be a rather large faction in this remote sea.
As for the ceremony, Wu Meng Island did have this custom. It seemed that it was held once every 50 years.
Luo Feng waved his hand and said, "Very good. You can leave now. Carry out the ceremony according to the schedule. Do not make any mistakes."
"Yes." The Youth bowed and left.
After the Youth left, Luo Ming asked, "Clan Leader, will Lord Liu Shi attend the ceremony this time?"
Luo Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Liu Shi is busy with cultivation. I'm afraid he won't attend."
Luo Ming said hesitantly, "His Lordship hasn't appeared in front of people for several hundred years. Did something go wrong in his cultivation?"
"Don't talk nonsense!
His Lordship's cultivation is unfathomable. How could there be a problem? Moreover, at his level of cultivation, seclusion for hundreds or even thousands of years is very common. Don't say such things in the future! "Luo Feng's face sank and he reprimanded Luo Ming.
"I naturally won't believe such nonsense. It's just that the clansmen on the island have experienced the disappearance of Ancestor God Roman. Although the island has been peaceful for the past few years, many people are still in a state of shock. They are afraid that the Ancestor God will disappear again.
Now that the Black Wind Sea Area is in constant war, many clansmen are quite frightened. Lord Liu Shi hasn't appeared for several hundred years, and some people are already privately discussing what just happened.
Moreover, although Tie Yan, Ling Yun and the others are respectful on the surface, if Lord Liu Shi doesn't appear for a long time, it's hard to guarantee that they won't have second thoughts. "Luo Ming said.
When Luo Feng heard this, he frowned.
"Clan Leader, why don't you ask Lord Liu Shi to attend this ceremony? Even if it's just one appearance, it'll be good." Luo Ming suggested.
"Alright, I'll talk to Lord later." Luo Feng nodded.
The two then discussed the details of the ceremony. Han Li didn't continue listening and left quietly.
He came this time to see if Luo Feng had followed his instructions all these years. Seeing that Luo Feng didn't overstep his authority, he felt relieved.
After Han Li left Wu Meng Island, he went to the nearby sea area.
A huge whirlpool appeared on the surface of the sea. It rotated slowly and made splashing sounds.
Han Li's figure flashed and he flew into the sea. Soon, he reached the bottom of the sea.
A hemispherical blue light screen enveloped the bottom of the sea. Layers of blue light waves flickered on it.
The seawater flowed in and out of the blue light screen without any obstruction.
Han Li struck an incantation seal with a wave of his hand, and an entrance immediately appeared in the light barrier, following which he flew out.
His Earth God Incarnation was sitting cross-legged on the bottom of the sea. A blue light thread floated above his head. It was the Law of Water. It was much thicker than before, and countless tiny runes were flashing on it.
The incarnation was wrapped in a thick layer of blue light. Countless water light rippled on the surface, and the seawater around it surged and rotated violently.
