Bachelor [EN]: Chapter 928

A moment later, the giant demonic beast’s body, which had disappeared, burst out from the blue barrier on the other side. The whale demonic beast, surprised, charged towards the other side this time.

After repeatedly passing through the blue light barrier and emerging again from within it, the demonic beast finally stopped its erratic movements.

Just then, Han Li activated the power of the sword formation. The blue barriers shattered layer by layer from all directions, and the scent of grass filled the surroundings.

It felt as if one were in a meadow full of blooming flowers and grass. To the demonic beast’s eyes, the surroundings had already transformed into a blue meadow, making it impossible to distinguish reality from illusion.

Trees, flowers, and grass emitted a desolate yet vivid aura. The demonic beast, bewildered, lowered its head and was startled. A giant blue lotus had been floating beneath its feet—since when?

The blue lotus, spanning over a hundred yards, shimmered with spiritual energy. It slowly began to rotate, and blue energy surged in from the surroundings, creating tremendous pressure.

The whale demonic beast was completely immobilized. At that moment, a blue light flashed, and dozens of blue serpents, baring their sharp teeth, lunged towards the demonic beast.

Half a day later, a streak of blue light cut through the sky above the nearby sea and disappeared into the distance. The turbulent waves and dark clouds that had been over the sea where he had been were gone, and it was as calm as if nothing had happened.

Only the massive reef, flattened and sunken, indicated that a battle had taken place.

Two years later, a rumor spread throughout the Huahuo Archipelago. The teleportation array, which had been damaged and unusable for a long time, had been repaired, and someone had already returned to the Leiming Continent through it.

All the cultivators of the Upper Clans were overjoyed and gathered at the location of the teleportation array.

* * *

Han Li slowly opened his eyes and looked around.

The main hall was quiet, and no one was there. The walls of the main hall shimmered with golden restrictions, and the semi-circular stone door was firmly closed.

Han Li looked down at the teleportation array beneath his feet, then stepped off the formation and walked towards the stone door. The thick stone door was much lighter than he had expected and opened easily.

The moment the door opened, a cacophony of noises flooded in, startling him.

Han Li looked outside the main hall, dumbfounded. The vast plaza, thousands of yards in size, was filled with white stone buildings and people.

Most of them were wearing various armors and had human forms, but they possessed slightly unique features. Some had ears as long as rabbits, while others were covered in black fur, resembling black monkeys.

There were also people whose entire bodies were golden, as if they were wearing golden armor, and members of the Wa Clan, whose upper bodies were human and lower bodies were snakes, could be seen.

However, the largest proportion was made up of the alien race with pale faces and faint green skin.

They were easily recognizable, wearing green armor and holding red spears. For some reason, the alien race members were all gathered in groups, whispering and looking worried.

Most of them were Foundation Establishment or Core Formation cultivators, but there were also Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation cultivators. The higher-level cultivators were gathered separately, talking among themselves.

Han Li scanned the higher-level aliens with his spiritual sense and was startled to discover three Void Refinement-level aliens.

According to Qing Suo, the other side of the giant teleportation array was a small transfer city jointly managed by several minor races. The number of resident cultivators there was only four or five thousand, and even if a high-level cultivator stayed, it would only be one or two Spirit Transformation cultivators at most.

However, there were tens of thousands of people gathered in the plaza, and there were three cultivators of his level, which was astonishing.

‘What has happened in Green Light City in the meantime?’

When he spread his spiritual sense, he felt a restriction above the plaza, and since no one was using any escape techniques, it seemed to be a kind of anti-flying restriction.

Han Li took a deep breath and naturally walked into the crowd.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, the expression of a large-headed alien changed, and he took out a wooden board from his pocket. Strange spell characters appeared on the wooden board, which was shimmering with spiritual energy.

“Brother Yuan, what’s wrong?” a green-skinned alien asked.

“Suddenly, a cultivator from the Upper Clan’s third realm has appeared. The teleportation array within the city should have been blocked by the Gakchi Clan. How could he have been teleported here?” the large-headed alien said, looking puzzled.

“Could it be that the Gakchi Clan missed one place? If so, we should quickly find him and ask what happened.”

“I have personally checked all the teleportation arrays several times. There was not a single one that could be activated,” the large-headed alien said, shaking his head as the green alien showed a look of hope.

“Let’s find him first. We need to know what’s going on. Brother Yuan, you can find his location with that Spirit Light Plate, right?”

“Hehe, the moment a new cultivator appeared in the plaza, I already used the restriction to find his location. It’s right there,” said the red-light alien, who had been silent. At this, the large-headed alien’s eyes lit up, and he turned his head towards Han Li. The other two did the same.

Han Li was concealing his cultivation with a secret technique, but they immediately recognized who the Void Refinement cultivator was. Han Li approached the aliens to ask a few questions, but when he felt the Void Refinement aliens staring at him, he turned his head.

Their eyes met.

‘…’

Han Li frowned. However, it was not surprising that they had found him. He had approached the three aliens first, and soon, four Void Refinement-level cultivators had gathered.

“Cultivator, you have just arrived in Green Light City, haven’t you? How should we address you?” the large-headed alien asked calmly, putting away the Spirit Light Plate.

“I am Han. This is my first time here. But has something happened?”

“So you are Cultivator Han. You must have come from a very far place. Otherwise, you would know that the Gakchi Clan is trying to swallow our Thirteen Clans of the Heavenly Cloud,” the large-headed giant said, staring intently at Han Li with a puzzled expression.

‘The Gakchi Clan!’

Han Li’s expression changed drastically. The Gakchi Clan was one of the ten largest super-races in the entire Spirit Realm.

“Brother Han, we will explain that matter to you later. But first, could you tell us how you were teleported to Green Light City? In fact, all the teleportation arrays connecting this place to other cities have been blocked by the Gakchi Clan,” the green alien said, unable to hold back any longer.

“I was teleported here from overseas.”

“Overseas? Is there a teleportation array that leads overseas in a small city like Green Light City?” the red alien said, opening his mouth with a doubtful tone.

“There are two overseas teleportation arrays. But they were damaged and abandoned a long time ago. Which one did you use to come here?” the large-headed alien also seemed very surprised.

“The Huahuo Archipelago.”

“That place! If my memory serves me right, it was damaged thousands of years ago, and contact with Green Light City was cut off long ago. Could you please explain what happened?” the large-headed alien asked with a suspicious look.

“Yes, I will. In short…” Han Li began to tell them about the time the teleportation array was damaged. However, he did not reveal anything about his background, letting them misunderstand that he was a cultivator from overseas.

“I was lucky enough to recover the Gongyun Cauldron and repair the teleportation array. But there was a problem, whether the record of the teleportation array’s original form was wrong, or the Gongyun Cauldron was deformed inside the demonic beast’s stomach.

The teleportation array can only teleport one person at a time, and once activated, it takes seven days to be used again. Otherwise, the teleportation array will be destroyed,” Han Li concluded, looking dejected. His words meant that even if he wanted to use the teleportation array to return overseas, it was impossible. The aliens, who had been listening with excited expressions, exchanged glances with dark faces.

“So, in the end, the teleportation array that the cultivator used cannot be activated right now,” the green-skinned alien said, showing a disappointed look, and Han Li also sighed.

“It’s not that we don’t trust Cultivator Han, but the matter is serious, so we need to check it ourselves. Is that alright with you?” the large-headed alien said with a wry smile.

“Of course.”

“Brother Hong, please stay here and supervise the other cultivators. We’ll be back soon,” the large-headed alien carefully asked the red-light alien.

“Understood. You must return quickly,” the red-light alien hesitated and nodded. The other two followed Han Li and walked to one side of the plaza. They soon entered the main hall where Han Li had come out. Inside, the giant teleportation array stood silently.

“Judging from the traces of spatial fluctuations, it was indeed activated not long ago,” the green alien said, scanning the main hall with his spiritual sense. At this, the large-headed alien immediately walked to the teleportation array, circled it a few times, and then formed a hand seal, throwing a green light into it.

Woong!

The silent teleportation array briefly vibrated and emitted a white light. At the sight of this, the green alien’s eyes widened, and he showed a look of joy. However, the formation immediately stopped vibrating, and the light of spiritual energy disappeared.

“The formation on the other side is unstable, and it seems to have already been reached,” the large-headed alien concluded with a dark face. At his words, the green alien’s face also turned gloomy.

“Is the situation here that urgent? I want to know what’s going on.”

“Cultivator, you have seen how many cultivators have gathered in this small Green Light City. Most of them are those who have fled from nearby cities. Originally, they planned to use the teleportation array in this city to flee far away, but the Gakchi Clan moved one step ahead and blocked the teleportation arrays connected to other cities.

The Gakchi Clan’s army will be here soon. If that’s the case, it would be right to abandon the city and flee as soon as possible. But we can’t guarantee that we can outrun the Gakchi Clan’s vanguard. At least, they will never let high-level beings like us live,” the large-headed alien said with a bitter smile, and Han Li’s face also darkened.

At that moment, a rumbling sound was heard from outside the stone door, and the white light of the restriction fluctuated. It seemed as if the main hall where the teleportation array was located would collapse at any moment.

“W-what is going on!” Although Void Refinement-level cultivators would not be affected by this level of vibration, the faces of the three people, including Han Li, changed drastically. In particular, the green-skinned alien was greatly startled and raised his voice.

The green-skinned alien and the large-headed giant exchanged glances and simultaneously leaped into action.

One shot out as a streak of blue light, and the other’s form became blurred and disappeared.

‘What should I do…’

Han Li scanned the teleportation array, hesitated, and then flicked his sleeve, sending out a blue light.

Kukwakwang!

The blue light instantly slashed through the teleportation array formation and returned. Only then did Han Li rush out of the main hall.

As he stepped out of the stone door, the plaza was in chaos, and the cultivators were scattered in all directions, desperately trying to escape.

Above the plaza, a faint navy-blue barrier was protecting the city, and white light beads were raining down from the sky far above the barrier.

Kwakwang! Kwakwakwang!

The light beads exploded with loud noises, and the barrier was shaking precariously, barely holding on.

Han Li was startled and quickly raised his head, activating his Spirit Eyes.

Then, he saw a giant island floating in the sky. To be precise, it was an island that shone like it was made of silver.

At the bottom of the island, which was ten thousand yards long, white crystal pillars densely inscribed with spell characters were embedded, and light beads were falling from there.

“It’s the Gakchi Clan’s giant warship. There’s no way the Gakchi Clan’s army could have arrived this quickly!” the large-headed alien said, raising his voice as he took out a navy-blue mirror from his pocket.

“What’s the point of saying that now? We need to escape quickly. Brother Yuan, you’ve been on this island for a long time, so you must know a few secret passages, right?” the green-skinned alien said urgently.

“I do know one. It’s a passage that leads to a small mountain far from the city. But we can’t leave so many cultivators inside the city. We must immediately gather the cultivators at the city gate so they can escape. If we’re lucky, some of them might survive the pursuit,” the large-headed alien said, hesitating before gritting his teeth.

“Understood, let’s do that!” the red-light alien, who had flown in from one side of the plaza, agreed, and Han Li and the green-skinned alien did not object. Seeing this, the large-headed giant immediately moved.

A yellow streak of light flew from his body and transformed into a giant phantom a hundred yards in size. Its attire and appearance were identical to the large-headed alien.
