"Letting you be the vanguard is not sending you to your deaths." Han Xi swept a glance over Fang Han and these Golden Core disciples from the inner sect, "But rather to let you scout the path and test you. You are all outstanding figures among the inner sect disciples, lacking just some contribution points to advance to true inheritance disciples and become true members of our Limitless Star Palace. Therefore, going underground to strangle demons and monsters this time is an opportunity to test you. If you perform well, we will reward you with enough contribution points to let you advance to true inheritance disciples."
"Really?"
"There is such a good thing?"
"This matter is too great!"
With one sentence, Han Xi livened up the atmosphere.
One must know, among the inner sect disciples, there were quite a few newly recruited Golden Core disciples, as well as some older Golden Core disciples. Although they had sufficient cultivation base, they still lacked contribution points, requiring at least a few more years of accumulation. That there was actually an opportunity to obtain enough contribution points now, simply everyone desired it.
"Correct, but the demonic monster army we are going to encircle and annihilate this time is not on the first underground level we usually go to, but the third underground level, which is extremely perilous. On the third underground level, we haven't established a stronghold yet. Us going in now is preparing to establish a stronghold. After you first reach the third underground level, scout the path everywhere, map out the terrain, investigate the distribution of the demonic monster army well, and report back immediately. Understood?"
Han Xi instructed.
"Yes!"
The crowd replied neatly together.
Immediately after, the teleportation formation flashed with brilliance.
Fang Han just felt the sky spin and the earth turn; it was spatial shifting again. In the next moment, he appeared in a gloomy, pitch-black underground world.
This underground world transmitted waves of fearful and turbid aura everywhere. Occasionally, from the depths of the underground, sounds of嘶 roars were transmitted, like sealed demon gods.
However, in the distance, some scattered mushrooms grew everywhere, emitting light, making this underground world not entirely in complete darkness.
This made Fang Han recall the first time back then, when he had not yet cultivated divine abilities, going to the underground of the Profound Yellow Great World with Fang Qingxue to destroy the Demonic God Altar.
In his heart, he could not help but be filled with a myriad of emotions.
"Hehe, hehe!"
Just as he was filled with emotion, not far from him, a burst of cold laughter was transmitted out.
He found himself surrounded.
Those surrounding him were precisely those few Senior Sister Sun, the tall man, and the other two men and one woman, all looking at him with malicious intent.
"What! You want to make a move on me?" Fang Han's face changed slightly as he looked at the five Golden Core disciples surrounding him! Two women and three men, "Our Limitless Star Palace rules, it's not like you don't know them."
"Hmph! Our Limitless Star Palace rules merely forbid fellow disciples from killing each other! Have we killed you right now? We just want to teach you a lesson and let you know some rules. Having just entered the Limitless Star Palace, it's still better to be a little bit honest."
Senior Sister Sun said disdainfully: "It's still not too late for you to regret it now. We have already arrived at the underground demonic monster nation. Now you must be the vanguard for us. We will conceal our forms and auras, and you summon your Golden Core to lead the way in front! You can make up for your faults with merits. Otherwise, your days in the future will not be easy."
In the underground demonic monster nation, it was extremely dangerous.
Even Golden Core powerhouses had to be cautious and conceal their auras. If they slightly revealed the aura of their flesh and blood, many unknown monsters and demons would pounce on them like moths drawn to a flame, completely tearing the person apart and dividing them.
Let alone releasing one's Golden Core out.
That was simply seeking death.
Now Senior Sister Sun and her group asking Fang Han to be the vanguard and release his Golden Core was just to let him attract the demons and monsters, while they themselves hid in the dark, safely and securely able to wipe out even more demons and monsters.
"Forget it, forget it. Senior Sister Sun, this is the third underground level and the danger is exceptionally great. By doing this, you are effectively sending Junior Brother Fang to his death. We are all fellow disciples, why the need for this?"
Right at this moment, a similarly Golden Core female disciple could not stand the sight of it and spoke up to help Fang Han.
Fang Han took a look; this Golden Core female disciple had beautiful features, especially a pair of large eyes with extremely long eyelashes. One look and it was clear she had that kind of kind-hearted and gentle personality, relatively easy-going and plain.
"Oh? Junior Sister Qi, this kid just entered my Limitless Star Palace and you are already starting to protect him? Is it because he has fair skin and a tender face? Have you taken a fancy to him?" Senior Sister Sun was sharp-tongued, "However, this matter has nothing to do with you, you'd best not interfere."
"You!" This Junior Sister Qi was clearly not good with words, her face turning red.
"Everyone, I can't be bothered to waste more words with you. This time upon arriving underground, I will hunt enough contribution points and then advance to a true inheritance disciple. This Junior Sister Qi, it is rare for you to speak out from a sense of justice. Although I don't care about these five ants, I still need to give you a little bit of benefit. This is a spirit talisman I obtained on the Chaos Continent, refined by the Flying Heaven Ancestor, called the Flying Heaven Phantom Talisman. With this spirit talisman, a single shake allows one to swiftly flee. A thousand miles in an instant, it can be used three times."
Fang Han waved his hand, and a spirit talisman fell into this Junior Sister Qi's hand.
Subsequently, he also took out a spirit talisman himself. With a slight shake, his entire person lost all traces. His flying speed could compare to a powerhouse at the Divine Ability Ninth Stage who had cultivated a Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Fang Han disappear without a trace and having been ridiculed to boot, Junior Sister Sun, the tall man, and the rest were instantly furious: "Chase!"
A few people moved their bodies, tracking Fang Han's aura, and chased fiercely after him.
"Let's go, let's go! We should also scatter separately, so as to avoid gathering together and having our auras be too strong, attracting the attention of the monsters and demons. Let us each hunt monsters and demons to exchange for contribution points. I see that Fang Yu is in for bad luck. Are Senior Sister Sun and those few tyrants so easily offended?"
"Each cares for their own affairs, why bother about others?"
After a burst of animated discussion, these inner sect Golden Core disciples acting as the vanguard dispersed one after another.
Including that Junior Sister Qi, who glanced at the spirit talisman in her hand, gripped it slightly tighter, paused her steps, and swept towards the direction Fang Han flew in.
"Damn it, these few people are too fierce and tough. Does this ever end? Might as well kill them all. In any case, down here, it will go unnoticed by gods and ghosts alike."
Fang Han was flying, having concealed his aura, but he sensed that from behind, Senior Sister Sun and the other four Golden Core experts had used some unknown secret method and actually still locked onto his aura, then also cast a kind of spirit talisman to chase fiercely.
With Fang Han's strength, he could naturally shake off these five minor characters with ease, but having just entered the Limitless Star Palace, he did not dare to expose his strength.
However, dealing with these five minor characters was still easily done.
Once his mind was made up, he stopped his escaping method in the air and descended toward a pitch-black, gloomy mountain peak below.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh, swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Just as he landed, five human figures surrounded this mountain peak in a tight ring. It was precisely Senior Sister Sun and her group.
"Kid, did you think that obtaining some trash spirit talismans would allow you to swagger around insolently? The treasures in my Limitless Star Palace are much more numerous than what you have outside. This spirit talisman of mine was exchanged for three thousand contribution points, called the Universal Escaping Spirit Talisman. It's much stronger than whatever Flying Heaven Phantom Talisman you have!"
As soon as the tall man flew over, he let out a shrill laugh.
"What a country bumpkin, thinking that by obtaining some trash spirit talismans outside, one can swagger around insolently. Sigh!" Senior Sister Sun looked at Fang Han with a pitiful gaze.
"I say, you guys. Why do you insist on staring at me and not letting go? I have no enmity or grudges with you." Fang Han said.
"Hmph! To establish prestige! Do you know what it means to establish prestige?" Senior Sister Sun laughed: "You, a newcomer, dared to humiliate us, where would our face be then?"
"Good, you brought this upon yourselves! Heavenly Demon Mind Bewitching!"
Fang Han smiled coldly. Suddenly, with a wave of his hand, he summoned a talisman out. This talisman was the Heavenly Demon Mind Bewitching Talisman he obtained from her when he subjugated the Little Demoness of the Pure Fox race.
This spirit talisman was refined by a Demon God. That Demon God was also a powerhouse with an Undying Body. The spirit talisman refined was extremely formidable. However, with Fang Han's current cultivation base, if they fought head-on, he might not necessarily be unable to beat the other party into fleeing in defeat. He had already refined this spirit talisman once again, preparing to grant it as a reward to Long Xuan, Star Cloud Baby, and a few others.
He had no use for it himself long ago.
As soon as this Mind Bewitching Talisman was produced, streaks of demonic light shot out intensely. Irradiated by this surge of demonic light, Senior Sister Sun and the others instantly had their minds bewitched by the demonic light, and expressions of bewilderment appeared in their eyes.
"Not good!" However, these few people had extremely many magic treasures on them, as well as spirit talismans to calm the mind. In the midst of the panic, they burned them. Instantly, crystalline light explosively shot from their bodies, resisting the irradiation of the Mind Bewitching Talisman.
"Hmph!"
Fang Han snorted coldly. Flicking his finger, a wisp of gale like a large hammer ruthlessly hammered onto the bodies of these few people. Several of them simultaneously spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and dropped toward the ground.
"Did you think I, Fang Yu, truly only had this little bit of means? Let me tell you. I had quite a few fortuitous encounters on the Chaos Continent. I am a favored child of heaven. Entering the Limitless Star Palace this time, I will also sooner or later become a true inheritance disciple, rise above others, and then cultivate to become an eternal giant in the Longevity Secret Realm, respected by ten thousand people."
Fang Han pressed closer step by step, deliberately speaking very loudly.
"Hand over your contribution points, and I can spare your lives. Otherwise, today I will make you die without a burial place."
"You! What are you going to do! You only cultivated a Golden Core with ten divine abilities, how could you have such immense power?" Senior Sister Sun's face was filled with shock. She had just felt that with a flick of Fang Han's finger wind, the power was silently overwhelming, and the several body-protecting magic treasures all shattered.
"I naturally have many magic treasures. Could it be that I have to tell you one by one?" Fang Han waved his palm, about to grab down.
Right at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the air: "I never expected, Fang Yu, that your strength is more than this. Very good, very good. Fortunately, a Golden Core disciple like you was not recruited away by the Big Dipper Hall. To actually defeat five Golden Cores with the strength of one person. What kind of magic treasure did you orchestrate?"
"Ah! Senior Sister!"
Fang Han feigned great shock. Looking toward the direction the voice propagated from, it was precisely Han Xi!
In reality, with his cultivation base, he knew long ago that Han Xi had arrived; what he said just now was all deliberate.
"Great Power Heavenly Dragon Talisman! Condense!"
In an instant, he utilized his magic power within the Eight Departments Pagoda, utilizing the Eight Departments True Dragon Qi and his own lifespan to draw five Great Power Heavenly Dragon Talismans. Then, pretending to take them out from an artifact pouch, he offered them before Han Xi.
"Reporting to Senior Sister, this was when I was wandering on the Chaos Continent, by chance in a cave dwelling, I obtained some treasures. Just now, I used these talismans to issue a heavy strike and break the body-protecting magic treasures of the several Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters."
