Chapters 1157: Spoils
As soon as Han Li set foot into the Flower Branch domain, he was immediately struck by the feeling that something wasn't right.
Before he had a chance to think about it, he was overcome by a rumbling commotion interspersed with ghostly shrieks that constantly varied in pitch, making for an extremely unpleasant cacophony of noises.
He could feel his own mental state starting to become affected, and he hurriedly channeled his Spirit Refinement Technique to stabilize his own soul before turning to the direction that the noise was coming from, upon which he discovered that the source of the commotion was none other than the pavilion that Weeping Soul was currently staying in.
At this moment, the entire pavilion was enshrouded within a cloud of black mist that was as viscous as ink, and it had formed a swirling, black vortex with ghostly figures flashing in and out of sight within, causing the restrictions around the pavilion to tremble incessantly.
Thankfully, those restrictions had been personally set up by Han Li and had been infused with his time law powers. Otherwise, they most likely wouldn't have been able to contain the black vortex.
What's going on?
Han Li hurriedly flew over to the pavilion before injecting a wisp of spiritual sense into it, but as soon as his spiritual sense entered the black vortex, it was immediately devoured, and a burst of formidable devouring force surged out of the vortex, attempting to infiltrate his mind.
Han Li hurriedly withdrew his spiritual sense, and only then was he able to shrug off the strange, devouring force.
At the same time, a hint of elation appeared on his face.
This phenomenon was definitely being caused by Weeping Soul, and that indicated that she had made a breakthrough in her absorption of Ghost King Wu Chao's power.
A contemplative look then appeared on his face as he pondered how to proceed. This wasn't something that he could intervene in, so he would just have to count on Weeping Soul to get through this on her own.
