"Unexpectedly, the Mu Lan people are so cautious. Although these Daoists were eliminated, it seems they didn't suffer any significant damage. Now, it's time for a head-on confrontation. Brother Ma, you just used the 'Concealing Heaven Banner' to cover half of the mountaintop. Can your mana support it?" The bald man sighed lightly before expressing his concern to the old man.
"I deliberately preserved some mana. It should be enough to deal with a Grand Master Daoist from the Mu Lan tribe." The old man stroked his beard and said nonchalantly.
"That's good. Leave the rest of the enemies to me and Fellow Daoist Han. Brother Bu should have recovered some of his vitality by now. I've instructed my disciples that if the situation becomes critical, they should call Brother Bu out of his seclusion." The bald man said solemnly.
"Indeed, that's the only option. However, that giant beast might be a bit tricky. We won't be able to deal with it if we're distracted. A Foundation Establishment cultivator might not be able to handle it." The old man hesitated, his face showing a hint of concern as he used his divine sense to sense the giant beast outside the formation.
"Cough! That's unavoidable. After all, we're short on manpower. Let's have Brother Murong rely on the formation to restrain it. Their thunder attribute techniques are the most lethal among Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even if the beast is tough, it should still have some effect." The bald man didn't seem very confident. After all, they had heard from the retreating cultivators about the terrifying nature of this beast.
"That's the only option for now." The old man nodded with some worry, accepting the suggestion.
At this moment, a flash of green light appeared in the sea of fog, and a dazzling rainbow shot out from it, seeming to have discovered the two men and flying towards them.
"Two Daoist friends, it seems that the Mu Lan people are really going to attack. Have you arranged a strategy to repel the enemy?" The green light dissipated, revealing Han Li's figure, who smiled and asked the two men.
"Brother Han, you're just in time. We've just discussed it. We're ready..." The bald man smiled and repeated what he had just said.
"The beast! That thing is indeed troublesome. It's a rare species from ancient times. I don't know where the Mu Lan people found it. Let's follow Brother Lu's suggestion." Han Li frowned at first, then quickly relaxed and said.
"This battle will heavily rely on Brother Han's divine abilities." The bald man chuckled and said with respect.
"The safety of the entire southern region is at stake, so I will do my best. But I'm afraid the enemy is too strong, and I may not be able to handle it." Han Li said calmly, scratching his nose.
Since he had revealed his strength, Han Li didn't need to be modest anymore.
"If Brother Han is unable to handle the enemy, it's not our fault. I believe the others in the alliance will understand." After smiling, the old man complimented.
"Brother Ma, you're overestimating me. My divine abilities are not as advanced as you and Brother Lu imagine. Don't expect too much from me." Han Li glanced at the old man and smirked.
"Hehe, in any case, Brother Han is not an ordinary early-stage cultivator. His divine abilities are far beyond what Brother Ma and I can compare to. This battle... Oh, the Mu Lan people have started to attack." The bald man wanted to build a better relationship with Han Li, but before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly changed the subject, looking towards the distance.
Han Li and the old man followed his gaze and saw that in the direction of the Daoist army, a faint red light appeared, spreading across the distant sky like a burning cloud. Among the red clouds, several huge fireballs, resembling suns, were forming.
"What is this?" The old man was obviously seeing this for the first time and couldn't help but be surprised.
"This is the Law Array of the Fire Spirit. It can quickly form a formation using many Daoists to replace the flags and disks of the formation. However, generally, it requires a high-level Daoist to preside over the formation. Judging from the size of these fireballs, it's probably the Daoist who used fire attribute techniques yesterday who is in charge." The bald man explained with a gloomy expression.
"The Law Array!" The old man muttered to himself, still showing some surprise on his face. Although he wanted to ask more questions, he knew it wasn't the right time and remained silent.
"Let's enter the formation and act accordingly. Before we engage with the enemy's Yuan Ying cultivator, we should try to eliminate as many low-level Daoists as possible." Han Li's voice echoed through the sky. After the enthusiastic cheers from the Daoist army, dozens or even hundreds of them rushed into the green fog.
"We'll follow suit. Once Master Ku presides over the formation, he will continue to disrupt the formations below. Today's battle must break this formation in one go." The green-shirted woman's cold voice echoed through the sky, followed by the joyful cheers of the Daoist army, as they rushed into the green fog.
"Let's go too. Once Master Ku completes his spell, we'll follow suit." The green-shirted woman said indifferently, turning into a white rainbow and shooting out.
The tall and thin Daoist practitioner hurriedly agreed and followed suit, turning into a black light and chasing after her.
In a moment, the sea of fog was filled with thousands of Daoists, as well as hundreds of cultivators secretly manipulating formations and waiting for opportunities.
...
In a certain part of the sea of fog, Han Li floated motionless, his eyes closed, wearing a three-colored Earth Devouring Gold Beetle Armor. He stood on a green giant sword, and above his head, a golden cloud of bugs silently appeared, each of them fierce and fierce, showing a desire to devour.
Han Li's eyelids twitched a few times, slowly opening his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.
"It seems that there are still mid-Yuan Ying stage Daoists inside. But how could it be a female Daoist?" Han Li muttered to himself for a moment. Then, after some thought, he clapped his hand on his storage pouch, and a set of formation tools
appeared in his hand.
Han Li flashed his figure, and after a while, he laid down one of the most powerful temporary formations he had in his possession.
"Silver Moon, come out." Han Li ordered, and with a flick of his sleeve, a small fox flew out from his sleeve and landed in front of him.
"I'll entrust you with this 'Purple Chain Pouch.' Take the Flower Basket Ancient Treasure as well. This opponent might be a bit more difficult than Junior Sister Wan'er. Be careful! If the opponent's divine abilities are too powerful, there's no need to fight head-on. Lure them here, use the fog sea restrictions and my formidable formations, and then engage with them. If it's still not enough, let's withdraw. There's no need to fight to the death." Han Li instructed calmly.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the 'Purple Chain Pouch' and the Flower Basket Ancient Treasure appeared in his hand and were directly thrown to the little fox.
