Chapter 1236: Ghostly Array
Gui Lingzi contemplated pursuing Qu Lin momentarily, but ultimately decided against it.
Compared with a Gold Devouring Immortal, he was more drawn to Han Li.
After all, it had been confirmed that the Heaven Controlling Vial was in Han Li's possession.
In this situation, Lan Yan was in a very awkward position.
She was a Nine Origins Temple disciple, yet she was helping an outsider invade her own sect. However, Han Li was her only hope for saving Lan Yuanzi, so she had no choice but to help him.
"A traitor like you deserves to die even more than all those Reincarnation Palace scoundrels outside!" Gui Lingzi harrumphed coldly as his gaze fell upon Lan Yan.
Lan Yan had no way to defend herself, so she could only bite her lip in silence.
At this point, she had no choice but to follow Han Li, whether that be to salvation or a bitter end.
In the face of a mid-Great Encompassment cultivator, Han Li wanted to avoid a conflict if at all possible, so he cupped his fist in a salute as he said, "I'm not here to cause trouble, Senior, I'm just here to recover a spirit pet of mine. Right now, the temple is under attack, so why not let me be and go after those who truly pose a threat? I saw many Reincarnation Palace cultivators as I was coming through the Golden Jade Pass earlier."
Gui Lingzi took a cold glance at him and offered no response. It seemed like he was pondering what he was going to do with these two trapped intruders.
Han Li was naturally aware that he most likely wasn't going to be able to talk his way out of this situation, so as he was speaking, he was also scouring his surroundings with his Infernal Devilish Eyes while also secretly channeling his immortal spiritual power, searching for an opportunity to escape.
