Chapter 995: Farewell, Take Care
"I see," Han Li replied with a contemplative nod.
"I still have some matters to attend to, so I\'ll be taking my leave now, Fellow Daoist Han," the white Daoist Xie said, then turned to depart, while Han Li watched its departing figure with slightly furrowed brows.
It was unclear whether Daoist Xie and the two corpse soul puppets were aware of exactly what had happened back, and judging from White Spirit\'s response, even if it did know, it wasn\'t going to reveal this information lightly, so he most likely wasn\'t going to get anything out of Daoist Xie, either.
If he wanted to uncover the truth, then he would just have to look into the matter from elsewhere.
After setting that train of thought aside, Han Li made his way to the main palace, where there were already close to thirty people present.
In addition to Daoist Xie, there were also the likes of Violet Spirit, Sha Xin, Mistress Liu Hua, Shi Chuankong, Zhuo Fa, and Xuanyuan Xing, and even Zhu Ziyuan and Zhu Ziqing were also present.
A white stone platform had been set up on one side of the palace, and on top of the platform was a circular array that was several dozen feet in size, giving off a white and golden glow.
Bursts of formidable spatial power fluctuations were emanating from the array, forming a spatial vortex that was several dozen feet in size and causing the space above it to ripple like water.
"Welcome, Fellow Daoist Han," Daoist Xie greeted as he rose to his feet, and everyone else stood up to greet him as well.
Violet Spirit was standing behind Sha Xin, and her eyes lit up slightly as she detected the vast aura exuding from Han Li.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting, everyone," Han Li said as he cupped his fist in an apologetic salute.
"Not at all, Sha Xin and the others have only just arrived as well. This teleportation array leads to the outside world, and I\'ll be opening it soon. If you have any matters that you want to take care of before you leave, now would be the time," Daoist Xie said as he took a subtle glance at Violet Spirit.
At the same time, he flicked a finger to send a burst of golden light flying into Han Li\'s body, restoring his immortal spiritual power circulation once again.
After that, he made his way over to the array, where he was immediately joined by Sha Xin, and the two of them began discussing matters related to the imminent teleportation.
Han Li was rather perplexed by this gesture from Daoist Xie, but it was naturally a good thing to have his immortal spiritual power circulation restored, and he strode over to Violet Spirit before sweeping a sleeve through the air to conjure up a soundproofing light barrier.
Before he had a chance to say anything, Violet Spirit smiled and said, "Don\'t get your hopes up, I\'m just here to bid you farewell."
"You\'re going to continue to stay here?" Han Li asked as a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes, followed by a look of realization.
Daoist Xie had to have already known that Violet Spirit wanted to stay, and that was why he had restored his immortal spiritual power circulation.
"The starpower-rich environment of the Scalptia Spatial Domain is perfect for cultivating that the Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts that you gave me, so I want to make some more progress before I go to the Devil Realm," Violet Spirit replied with a nod.
"That\'s not a bad idea. Right now, the Devil Realm isn\'t a very safe place, so you\'ll actually be safer in the Scalptia Spatial Domain," Han Li said.
"Also, I\'ve begun cultivating the Spirit Refinement Technique as well," Violet Spirit said with a determined look in her eyes.
"I knew you would take this route," Han Li sighed in a resigned manner.
"I don\'t think my spiritual sense cultivation aptitude is inferior to yours. If you can cultivate the Spirit Refinement Technique, then I can as well," Violet Spirit said with a mischievous smile.
"Alright, but if any problems arise during the cultivation process, then make sure to contact me right away," Han Li said in a serious manner, and Violet Spirit nodded in response.
After that, Han Li pulled out some special items from the starpower storage ring, then placed some things inside.
"This ring isn\'t very good to look at, but it\'s a storage ring that can be used in the Scalptia Spatial Domain. Seeing as you\'ve chosen to stay here, I\'ll give it to you," Han Li said as he slipped the ring off his finger before putting it on for Violet Spirit.
"I can\'t accept something so precious! You should keep it for yourself," Violet Spirit hurriedly replied as she began to take off the ring.
"There\'s no need. I\'m about to leave this place, and this ring will be next to useless in the outside world," Han Li said with a smile.
"Oh, you\'re right, I forgot about that," Violet Spirit chuckled.
"The ring contains the full version of the Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts and a Reincarnation Palace mask. If you need to contact me for any reason, you\'ll be able to do so through the mask, and on top of that, there are also some other items inside, all of which should be useful to you," Han Li continued.
A film of moisture welled up in Violet Spirit\'s eyes as she gave a gentle nod.
"Make sure to be extra careful while I\'m not by your side, and if you encounter any trouble, remember to turn to Fellow Daoist Xie for help," Han Li said.
The two of them chatted for a while longer before Han Li dispelled the soundproofing barrier, following which he turned his gaze to Shi Chuankong.
"I am eternally grateful for everything that you\'ve done for me, Fellow Daoist Han. Just like Fellow Daoist Violet Spirit, I plan to stay in the Scalptia Spatial Domain for now, so I\'ve also come here to bid you farewell," Shi Chuankong declared.
"You\'re staying here as well?" Han Li asked in a surprised manner.
"Pokong is no longer trustworthy, and I\'m still very weak at the moment. As opposed to returning to the Night Sun Empire now, it\'s a better choice for me to stay here and cultivate. Thanks to my connection to you, I\'m sure everyone will treat me well here," Shi Chuankong replied with a smile.
"Alright, then I\'ll be counting on you to look after Violet Spirit," Han Li said with a nod.
At the moment, Daoist Xie and the Devilish Monarch were direct enemies, so it was unclear whether Shi Chuankong was choosing to stay here of his own free will or if he had been coerced into staying.
Even though he was good friends with Shi Chuankong, he shared a closer bond with Daoist Xie, so this wasn\'t a matter that he wanted to pry into.
"Fellow Daoist Violet Spirit doesn\'t need me to look after her. Right now, she\'s the brightest talent in all of Puppet City, and she\'s the one who\'s been looking out for me," Shi Chuankong chuckled.
"You\'re Brother Han\'s friend, which means you\'re my friend, so it\'s only right that I look out for you. On top of that, you\'re a prince of the Night Sun Empire, so there\'s most likely going to be many things that I\'ll need your help with once I leave the Scalptia Spatial Domain," Violet Spirit said with a smile.
"You can count on me!" Shi Chuankong declared in a confident manner, and Han Li was quite pleased to see this.
It seemed that Violet Spirit was going to be well looked-after both in the Scalptia Spatial Domain and in the Devil Realm.
"I\'m going now. Take care," Han Li said to Violet Spirit through voice transmission, and she responded in kind.
"I heard from Fellow Daoist Violet Spirit that you\'ll be returning to the Immortal Realm after you leave the Scalptia Spatial Domain. Come to think of it, I wasn\'t able to fulfill any of the promises that I made to you," Shi Chuankong sighed with an embarrassed expression.
"That\'s not true, you\'ve already done more than enough by helping me find Violet Spirit. I\'ll just have to figure out everything else on my own," Han Li said, and Shi Chuankong\'s expression eased slightly upon hearing this.
"By the way, is everyone else here aside from you two also traveling to the Devil Realm?" Han Li asked through voice transmission.
"That\'s right. It seems like Fellow Daoist Xie has some type of plan," Violet Spirit replied, and Han Li nodded in response.
The three of them chatted for a while longer until the preparations were completed, and Daoist Xie beckoned to Han Li, who stepped onto the teleportation array along with Sha Xin and the others.
Daoist Xie was standing beside the array, and he chanted an incantation while making a hand seal, and the spatial vortex above the teleportation array instantly sped up in its revolution, quickly forming a black spatial passageway.
A burst of immense suction force surged out of the spatial passageway to encompass everyone, and Han Li took one final glance at Violet Spirit before he was sucked into the spatial passageway, vanishing out of sight.
Violet Spirit shuddered slightly as she remained staring blankly at the spot where Han Li had been standing just a moment ago.
......
All of a sudden, a ball of radiant white light appeared in the sky above a primordial forest in the Devil Realm, and it rapidly expanded to several hundred feet in size.
The space within the ball of light was churning violently, and a black spatial doorway was abruptly opened within it.
In the next instant, close to thirty figures flew out of the spatial doorway one after another.
A look of elation and relief appeared on Han Li\'s face as he sensed the nearby world\'s origin qi, and everyone else was also very pleased to have been freed from the ever-present spatial pressure of the Scalptia Spatial Domain.
Han Li took a deep breath, then released his spiritual sense in all directions to survey the surrounding area.
A few moments later, he suddenly raised an eyebrow, seemingly having discovered something.
"Fellow Daoist Han, I have some tasks assigned to me by my master, so I\'ll be taking my leave now. Farewell," Sha Xin said as she cupped her fist to extend a parting salute, then departed with everyone else, seemingly in quite a hurry.
Han Li watched as everyone departed for a moment, then sped away in another direction as a streak of azure light, quickly vanishing out of sight.
