Mortal: I became invincible after becoming sworn brothers with Han Li.

Han Li was startled and looked at Li Yunfan with disbelief.

"Second brother, our Li family has already secretly moved to Xi Kingdom. If I leave, I will naturally return to the family. But you are different. You have your own opportunities to seek. So this time, I'm afraid we brothers will really have to part ways."

Li Yunfan regained his composure, stepped forward, patted Han Li on the shoulder, and said something earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Han Li frowned, as if he didn't quite understand what it meant.

"Second brother, do you remember the ancient teleportation array you discovered? The fact that you were able to discover it means that your destiny lies within it. I suggest that you repair it and use it to teleport away. Perhaps there is another great opportunity waiting for you there," Li Yunfan said again.

"Now that the Li family has moved to Xi Kingdom, why don't you leave with me, brother? Wouldn't it be better for us brothers to join forces and pursue that opportunity together?" Han Li said sincerely.

Han Li's words were indeed spoken from the bottom of his heart.

In the past, he would never have had the idea of ​​traveling with others.

But ever since he and Li Yunfan became sworn brothers, the other party has indeed treated him sincerely, so he naturally wouldn't easily abandon him.

Moreover, although Li Yunfan seemed ordinary to him, he always gave him a mysterious feeling.

This made a thought involuntarily arise in his mind.

That is, as long as Li Yunfan stays by his side, he can turn danger into safety and gain considerable benefits.

He himself did not understand why he had this idea, but after the two of them had experienced things over the years, he became more and more certain of the correctness of this idea, which is why he said it now.

"Second brother, you and I are different. The family is both my help and my concern. I cannot easily give it up. If I go with you, I don't know when I will return. With such concerns in my heart, my cultivation may stagnate."

"You have already decided to renounce the mortal world and be all alone, so you can strive for a higher realm without reservation. This is your advantage, but it is also your weakness. Although you and I are both heading towards the path of immortality, we are on completely different paths."

Li Yunfan paused for a moment after speaking before continuing.

"But rest assured, no matter how far apart we are, you will always be my brother, Li Yunfan's brother for life. When you return, the two of us brothers will surely be renowned throughout the entire cultivation world!"

After listening to Li Yunfan's words, Han Li took a deep breath, looked at his elder brother Li Yunfan with a firm gaze, and nodded.

"I will remember my elder brother's words!"

"That's my good second brother! It's getting late, let's hurry and go to the cave that the Core Formation cultivator mentioned, maybe there are some good things inside." Li Yunfan finally showed a smile and said.

Then the two released their small boats, stepped into them, and soared into the sky, transforming into two streaks of light that disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

The cave mentioned by the demonic cultivator who had reached the Core Formation stage was only a few hundred miles away from where they killed their opponent.

At the speed of the two-person flying boat, they found the exact location in no time.

Now that they both know that the other is a Core Formation cultivator from the Yuling Sect, they naturally suspect that there are demonic beasts kept by the other in the cave.

Therefore, they did not enter immediately, but instead set up the Inverted Five Elements Formation outside the cave entrance and then released several puppets into it.

By connecting with the puppet's consciousness, they indeed saw a huge, mantis-like monster sleeping soundly in the cave.

Han Li then unhesitatingly manipulated the puppet to launch an attack, successfully enraging the opponent.

After being disturbed and awakened, the monster roared angrily and instantly turned into a blur, destroying a puppet!

Han Li hadn't expected the monster to be so fast, so he quickly controlled the remaining puppets to fly back.

They eventually lost another puppet before they successfully lured the monster into the formation, using the formation's illusionary trapping effect to confine it to an area of ​​several acres.

After it had been struggling within the formation for two days, it finally stopped running around when it was exhausted.

The two of them simultaneously deployed a puppet and threw out low-level talismans, constantly harassing the demonic beast and preventing it from getting a proper rest.

After about half a day, the monster could no longer hold on and began to suffer various injuries.

Seeing that the time was right, Han Li directly used his talisman to attack the giant mantis beast in conjunction with the puppet's attack.

After dismembering him, the two felt relieved enough to enter the cave and find the skeleton of the demonic cultivator who had reached the Core Formation stage, along with a storage bag tucked into his waistband.

"The Core Formation cultivators of the Spirit Control Sect are rather shabby," Han Li said with a somewhat unpleasant expression after scanning the storage bag with his divine sense.

Li Yunfan smiled inwardly, but outwardly remained calm as he took the storage bag and began to examine it.

The storage bag was mostly filled with bottles and jars of monster food, and the other half contained various insect samples with the insects' names engraved on them.

Finally, there was a green jade slip containing the Core Formation cultivator's insights on insect breeding, as well as some secret methods for cultivating and controlling insects.

At the very end of the jade slip was the list of extraordinary insects compiled by the Yuling Sect.

Han Li naturally didn't care about these things now, so he simply made a copy of the jade slip and handed the storage bag to Li Yunfan.

He himself accepted the materials from the monster.

After leaving the cave, the two flew towards the Taiyue Mountains.

As they approached their destination, they slowed down, making sure not to disturb anyone, and quietly slipped back into their respective caves.

Li Yunfan returned with only one purpose: to destroy the altar formation.

He didn't want others to learn this formation, since it was quite useful for concealing spiritual energy and blocking divine sense.

Han Li needed to return to his cave dwelling, as all his possessions, except for what he carried with him, were there.

He was going to take with him the two blood jade spiders, the large number of talismans he had crafted, and the spiritual herbs he had planted in his cave.

After packing up, the two quietly left the Taiyue Mountains again and met up at a border of the Yuanwu Kingdom before heading to find Qi Yunxiao.

Because of the agreement made with the demonic path to a decisive battle, Huangfeng Valley has long since recalled its Core Formation and Foundation Establishment cultivators who were away from the area.

There were basically no more disciples of Huangfeng Valley in the entire Taiyue Mountain Range, so the two of them did not encounter any Huangfeng Valley cultivators on their journey there and back.

The two had been to Jinma City several times before and were quite familiar with it, so they easily found Qi Yunxiao's residence.

Looking at the stone houses in front of him, where the formation was still in operation and there was nothing unusual, Li Yunfan felt both puzzled and somewhat expectant.

"It seems no battle has taken place here. Did my warning work? Or has the Fu family simply not yet targeted Qi Yunxiao?"

Regardless, the fact that Qi Yunxiao is still alive is something to be happy about for Li Yunfan.

He raised his hand and released a sound transmission talisman. A moment later, Qi Yunxiao walked out of the stone house with a look of surprise on his face.
