Chapter 949: Unexpected Arrivals
Han Li paid no heed to the suction force acting upon him from the copper tree as he began carefully examining the pillar of white light before him.
This array was somewhat different from the one that he had bypassed to claim the previous crimson key, but they were both quite similar in nature, so it shouldn't be a difficult task to overcome this one.
With that in mind, he pulled out his Star Wave Pen and began to work.
With some experience already under his belt, Han Li was able to work much faster than before, and it didn't take long before his array was completed.
The pillar of white light slowly dissipated, and the crimson key fell into Han Li's grasp.
At the same time, the suction force emanating from the copper tree completely subsided.
Shao Ying was furious, thinking that he had fallen for a ploy collectively hatched by Han Li and Chen Yang, and he stomped down violently, snapping the branch beneath his feet as he launched himself at Han Li.
Meanwhile, Han Li and Shi Chuankong flew down from the tree, and before Shao Ying had a chance to come after him again, he raised the key high above his head as he yelled, "Everyone, get back! If you try to take the key from me by force, then I'll destroy it right now so no one gets it!"
Sure enough, Shao Ying immediately drew to a halt upon hearing this, glowering down at Han Li from the top of the copper tree with a dark expression, while everyone else in the hall also stopped what they were doing and disengaged themselves from their opponents.
"Haven't you already chosen not to get involved, Fellow Daoist Li? Why have you suddenly changed your mind?" Fu Jian asked with a displeased expression.
Han Li continued to hold the key aloft, and he offered no response.
