Chapter 1041: Close Call
Han Li was quite taken aback to hear everyone's furious reactions, and he hurriedly communicated to the Essence Fire Raven through their spiritual connection, "Didn't I tell you not to take everything and leave some behind for them?"
However, he received no response from the Essence Fire Raven. It had been quite groggy ever since it devoured the Nine Sun Fire Stone, and it seemed like it still hadn't returned to normal yet.
Han Li could only shake his head in a resigned manner, then slumped to the ground, pretending to be hurt.
Moments later, Yu Kuohai and the others emerged from the palace with disgruntled expressions before arriving by Han Li's side.
"Are you alright, Fellow Daoist Shi?" Elder Yang asked.
"I'm fine, it's just some external injuries," Han Li replied as he splayed open his charred hands.
"How is this possible? The restrictions were clearly intact, yet there was nothing inside!" Valley Master Fu grumbled.
"Well done, Fellow Daoist Shi. We may not have found anything here, but I'm sure there are plenty of precious treasures waiting for us further up ahead," Yu Kuohai said as he helped Han Li up from the ground.
"Thank you," Han Li replied in a grateful manner.
After taking a short rest here, everyone continued onward, encountering several more buildings, all of which had their restrictions unraveled by Han Li. All of the most precious treasures in those buildings were naturally taken by Han Li, but he made sure to leave some behind for everyone else.
Several days flew by in a flash.
At this moment, Han Li's group was standing at the entrance of a gray canyon.
