A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm

Chapter 1084: Secret Arrangement

Lei Yuce and the others hesitated momentarily upon seeing this, then began to fly toward She Chan, clearly under the impression that the battle was over.

There was a look of schadenfreude in Jin Liu's eyes as he flew toward She Chan with everyone else, while Wyrm 3 and Fox 3 remained where they were, seemingly rather hesitant about how to proceed.

"You were trying to help him earlier, right? Are you also a member of the Reincarnation Palace? If so, then don't hold back. What if you can still save him?" She Chan chuckled as she turned to Wyrm 3 with a provocative expression.

A furious look appeared in Wyrm 3's eyes as her hands balled up into tight fists.

"So you really are an accomplice of his! You..."

All of a sudden, She Chan's voice trailed off mid-sentence as a burst of golden light surged over the clay statue that Han Li was encased in, and a strange-looking golden tree projection suddenly appeared, then began to rapidly grow, sprouting branches and vines that wrapped themselves around the clay statue.

Immediately thereafter, a burst of formidable time law powers erupted forth amid a flash of blinding golden light, and the layer of clay around Han Li reverted back into a pool of yellow sludge that flowed onto the ground, following which Han Li sprang forward with the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword in his hand aimed directly at She Chan.

All of this had taken place in the blink of an eye, and She Chan immediately attempted to dart back in retreat, only to discover that a layer of strange golden sand had appeared on the ground below, reaching up to her ankles to root her to the ground.

She could feel a burst of peculiar time law power fluctuations emanating from the golden sand below, completely immobilizing her legs.

Before she had a chance to do anything, the vines from the golden tree projection also snaked their way over to her before wrapping themselves around her upper body.

At the same time, the Mantra Treasured Axis appeared behind Han Li, further immobilizing She Chan.

Han Li plunged his Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword down without any hesitation directly upon She Chan's chest, where her heart was situated, and due to how abruptly this sequence of events had unfolded, everyone else was also caught within Han Li's time law powers, rendering them completely immobile.

A loud, metallic clang rang out as the tip of Han Li's sword struck She Chan's chest, raising a trail of golden sparks, but the sword wasn't able to pierce through her skin!

Han Li was clearly rather taken aback to see this, and right at this moment, a series of yellow runes appeared over She Chan's body, releasing bursts of earth law power fluctuations that began to contend against the time law power fluctuations released by the manifestations of Han Li's three time-attribute law treasures.

As one of the three paramount laws, the laws of time held a natural advantage over She Chan's law powers, and it was only due to She Chan's superior cultivation base and mastery over her law powers that she was able to contend against Han Li at all.

The surrounding time law power fluctuations were slowly forced back, and a layer of earthy yellow light appeared around She Chan, creating a small safe zone around her as her mobility was gradually restored.

Han LIi's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, and he hurriedly injected more immortal spiritual power into his three time-attribute law treasures to tighten their hold on She Chan.

She Chan had only fallen for his trap in a moment of complacency, so if he were to allow her to escape now, then it was going to be very difficult for him to trap her again.

Thanks to the influx of immortal spiritual power, the three time-attribute law treasures were able to slowly eradicate the safezone that had appeared around She Chan, rendering her completely immobile again.

Han Li heaved an internal sigh of relief upon seeing this, then swept a sleeve through the air to release thirty-six Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, all of which released countless arcs of golden lightning to form a dense sea of golden lightning.

The sea of golden lightning was churning incessantly as a golden dragon reared its head from within, then let loose a thunderous, draconic roar before twisting around and swooping down upon She Chan with unstoppable might.

Countless tiny spatial rifts were left in the wake of the golden lightning sword dragon, and the entire desert began to tremble violently as if an earthquake were taking place.

Right as the golden dragon was about to devour She Chan, a burst of blue light suddenly appeared behind Han Li without any warning.

It was a fist-sized blue bead with several golden runes glowing on its surface, and a burst of blue light abruptly erupted forth from within, forming an enormous blue vortex in the blink of an eye.

The entirety of Han Li's attention was focused on controlling his time-attribute law treasures and containing She Chan, so by the time he detected what was happening behind him, it was already too late.

He felt a burst of tremendous power sweep toward him from behind, and a resounding thump rang out as he was sent flying forward, resulting in a loss of control over his time-attribute law treasures and his Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.

The sword dragon formed by the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords disintegrated into thin air right before it descended upon She Chan, while all of the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords themselves automatically flew back into Han Li's body.

After flying several thousand feet through the air, Han Li was finally able to steady himself before turning to Lei Yuce and the others with a furious look on his face.

At this moment, everyone was staring at Jin Liu with surprised expressions.

He was the one who had just attacked Han Li with that Chaotic Origin Infernal Water Bead, and in the wake of this inexplicable attack, Su Anqian exclaimed with an incredulous expression, "Why did you do that?"

"Why? He's a wanted fugitive of the Heavenly Court, should we not all be playing our part to capture him! You are the ones at fault for not helping Senior She, while I'm the one doing the right thing!" Jin Liu declared in a righteous and justified manner.

"Are you not afraid that your actions will bring disaster to our Heavenly Water Sect? How is making an enemy out of the Reincarnation Palace any more appealing than opposing the Heavenly Court?" Su Anqian countered in an enraged manner.

"Are you saying that I should serve as an accomplice to a wanted fugitive? In that case..."

Before Jin Liu had a chance to finish, She Chan interjected, "Why not just tell the truth, Fellow Daoist Jin? In accordance with the agreement that we just struck up through voice transmission, I'll help you claim Celestial Maiden Su over here as long as you help me capture Han Li."

An awkward look appeared on Jin Liu's face upon hearing this, but he quickly composed himself as he said, "In any case, let's capture Han Li first."

By revealing their secret agreement, She Chan had backed Jin Liu into a corner, giving him no choice but to help her, and he was naturally very displeased by this betrayal, but he didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction.

At this moment, everyone was glowering at him with intense disdain in their eyes, and there was even a hint of a killing intent in Lei Yuce's eyes.

The Chaotic Origin Infernal Water Bead had interrupted Han Li and allowed She Chan to free herself, but thankfully, it hadn't managed to inflict any injuries upon him.

Han Li suppressed the fury in his heart as he tightened his grip around his combined Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword, then swooped down upon She Chan from above.

This time, She Chan was regarding him in a much more serious manner, clearly having learned her lesson from their earlier exchange.

With a flick of her wrist, her spirit domain was conjured up once again, transforming the surrounding landscape into one of mountains and swamps.

Sludge began to rise up from the ground before transforming into a series of giant hands that made a grab for Han Li, and he had only managed to fly several thousand feet through the air before another mountain came crashing down upon him.

The gravitational force in the surrounding space became heavier and heavier, and as a result, he was slowed down further and further.

"Let me help you, Fellow Daoist Han," Wyrm 3 said, following which she released her dark red spirit domain.

Situated within her spirit domain, Han Li instantly felt a significant reduction in the potency of the gravitational force acting upon him.

Before he had a chance to thank her, Fox 3 also summoned his spirit domain as he sighed, "Looks like I'll have to get involved as well."

Han Li was ecstatic to see this, and he channeled his Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts and true spirit bloodlines in unison, instantly taking on the form of a giant devilish deity with three heads and six arms.

"That confirms it! Those two are also members of the Reincarnation Palace! Help me take them down, fellow daoists!" She Chan yelled.

Lei Yuce and the others remained completely unmoved, and even the Lan siblings had turned away to stoically ignore her.

"Are all of you planning to rebel against the Heavenly Court?!" She Chan yelled in a furious voice, but there was nothing that she could do as she sprang up into the air to meet Han Li.

With a flick of her wrist, a huge club appeared in her grasp. The club was giving off bursts of formidable earth law power fluctuations, clearly indicating that it was a very powerful immortal treasure.

At this point, Han Li had already drawn upon all of the starpower in his body, as well as his True Dragon, Kun Peng, and Giant Mountain Ape bloodlines, and Divine Devilbane Lightning was pouring out of his Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword in a frenzy, forming an enormous lightning sword that he swung down with almighty power.

Meanwhile, layers upon layers of black rock were appearing over the surface of She Chan's club, granting it an astronomical amount of weight, and it had also conjured up a giant club projection to oppose Han Li's lightning sword.
