Mortal: I, Li Feiyu, a cultivator of attributes!

Mist filled the valley, and within the mist, light shimmered faintly.

Suddenly, the masked man stopped, turned to face Li Feiyu and the others, and slowly spoke.

"It's safe here for now, you can rest for a bit. However, don't let your guard down, there are dangers lurking in the Netherworld Peak, and no one can predict the unknown dangers."

Li Feiyu and the others stared at the masked man, their thoughts a mixture of curiosity and doubt.

Who is this person who suddenly appeared? Why is he wearing a mask? Does he know their identities and purposes, and why did he help them?
"Thank you, senior." Li Feiyu politely clasped his hands in thanks.

The masked man nodded slightly, remaining standing in the same spot, showing no intention of leaving.

"You guys split up and scout out the surroundings, then find a safe place to wait for me." After saying that, Li Feiyu took out several bottles of pills from his bosom and handed them to Han Li, signaling him to lead Yin Po and Zhan Hun away.

Han Li understood immediately and made room for Li Feiyu and the masked man.

Li Feiyu stood directly opposite the masked man, his gaze fixed on the exquisite mask. Judging from the carved patterns on the mask, this person was certainly no ordinary person. The material of the mask also exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, unlike anything common.

Li Feiyu observed for a long time but still couldn't determine the person's origin from the mask, so he slowly opened his mouth to probe.

"Senior, you concealed your face and identity. Your assistance just now must have been more than just out of kindness, right? May I ask for your deeper meaning?" Li Feiyu's tone was calm, but with a hint of wariness.

Upon hearing this, the masked man did not respond, but instead met Li Feiyu's gaze through the mask with a cold stare.

After a long silence, the masked man spoke in a low, guttural voice.

"I have my reasons for taking action, and some things are better left unsaid. You just need to know that I have no intention of harming you."

Li Feiyu frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed, and continued unhurriedly, "Since Senior is unwilling to speak, this junior will not force you. Youming Peak is extremely dangerous, and we are newcomers here. I wonder if Senior could offer us some guidance?"

The masked man was silent for a moment before replying, "I wouldn't call it instruction, but I can offer you some advice."

"Then thank you very much, senior." Li Feiyu said, cupping his hands in thanks.

"This Netherworld Peak is riddled with traps and mechanisms, and the levels and strengths of the birds and beasts are unknown. In particular, it is said that an extremely evil power is hidden at the top of the Netherworld Peak, and one's life may be in danger if one gets close."

Upon hearing this, Li Feiyu's heart stirred, his expression turned solemn, and he immediately thought of the location where the "Netherworld Token" was hidden. Could it be that the Netherworld Token mentioned by the golden-robed man was hidden at the summit?

"Thank you for the reminder, senior. I will be careful. Could you perhaps share some of the legends surrounding the summit of Netherworld Peak?"

The masked man was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"Knowing too much about some things isn't necessarily a good thing." Meanwhile...

Han Li and his two companions found a quiet place, took the pills, sat down on the ground, and began to regulate their breathing to recover their strength.

After a period of rest and recuperation, the group's strength gradually recovered.

So they began to search the surrounding area, hoping to find some clues about Nether Peak or the Masked Man.

During their search, they discovered many rare herbs and spiritual fruits growing nearby. These herbs and fruits contained powerful spiritual energy, which was very beneficial to their recovery, so the three of them collected them.

As they walked, Yinpo couldn't help but ask.

"You know, this place is so dangerous, how could someone suddenly appear? And he's wearing a mask, who is he? And why are he helping us?"

Han Li shook his head and said, "I don't know, but since he saved us, he probably didn't mean any harm. With Master here, I believe everything will be resolved."

Just then, the War Soul suddenly stopped.

"Battle Soul, why aren't you leaving?"

Silver Soul was curious and looked puzzled when he saw that War Soul was holding something in his hand.

"What is this?" Silver Soul pressed.

Zhan Hun shook his head. "I don't know."

Just now, when Zhan Hun moved his body, he subconsciously touched his waist and found a cold, hard foreign object.

He looked down and noticed a fist-sized, dark green jade pendant attached to the outside of his storage pouch at his waist. The pendant was carved with a pattern resembling an altar, and a black crystal was inlaid in the center.

Han Li noticed something amiss, looked at the jade pendant in Zhan Hun's hand, and after thinking for a moment, said, "I've never seen you wear this before. Could it have been accidentally snagged during the chaotic battle earlier?"

The warrior looked at the jade tablet but did not answer.

Yin Po took the jade token, looked at it from left to right, but couldn't figure out what it was about, so she handed the jade token back to Han Li.

After observing carefully, Han Li shared his thoughts.

"This pattern doesn't look like anything righteous. Could it be something the invisible man used to control you when you were under his spell?" (End of Chapter)
