Chapter 1066: Inevitable Battle
Han Li swept a sleeve through the air to close the door of light, then flew over to the archway that was all that remained of the temple.
At the center of the archway was a pair of dilapidated wooden doors that looked as if they were only just barely hanging on for dear life, and on each door was a pixiu-shaped brass knocker, which bore some resemblance to Xiao Bai.
Judging from the array patterns on the doors, the restriction on them didn't appear to be particularly profound, but they were giving off the same type of energy fluctuations as the entrance to the third level, so it was clear that the fourth level was also going to be easy to enter, but almost impossible to leave.
After observing the archway for a short while, Han Li began working on unraveling the restriction.
Before long, two streaks of light arrived on the scene, and they were none other than Jin Liu and Su Anqian.
After a brief hesitation, Jin Liu cupped his fist in a salute toward Han Li with a complex look on his face, while Su Anqian was observing Han Li with a wary look in her eyes, clearly unsure of what to make of him.
"Did you catch them?" Han Li asked in a casual manner as he continued what he was doing.
"Those two ghostly generals took the lives of two of our sect's elders, so we weren't going to let them get away," Jin Liu replied.
"I'll go bury their remains," Su Anqian said to Jin Liu before promptly departing, and Jin Liu looked on at her departing figure for a moment before turning his gaze back to Han Li.
After a long hesitation, he asked, "Fellow Daoist Shi, why is it that you've hidden your true power all this time? Are you facing some difficult circumstances?"
"No, I'm just used to proceeding with caution as an itinerant cultivator. There's no need to be overly wary of me, Fellow Daoist Jin. I am nor your enemy, and I don't plan to change that," Han Li replied.
