At this moment, Han Li finally understood what it meant by “evil winds like blades, heaven and earth shattering.”
Although he was only at the edge of the Black Wind Banner’s influence, he felt as if he had lost all five senses.
The howling in his ears, the yellow haze that filled his vision, and even his Divine Sense couldn’t step out – to do so would be to have it instantly dispersed by the evil winds outside the barrier.
He now realized why the Three Flames Fan, which merely fended off the power of the Seven Flames Fan, was ranked at the bottom among the heavenly skill spirit treasures.
Even the Three Flames Fan, being able to exert three to four tenths of its power, was nothing compared to the might of the Black Wind Banner; the difference was like heaven and earth.
Fortunately, he still had the Brightsight Water Divine Skills, and by infusing Spiritual Power into his eyes, the blue light flickering in his pupils allowed him to vaguely make out objects within a dozen yards.
As for the condition of the Nine True Demon Subduing Array in the midst of such ferocious evil winds, he was unable to determine for the moment.
He could only sense from the alternatingly strong and weak tremors of the ground that the struggle within was extremely fierce.
Looking up at the sky, the scene was much the same as below, all churned by the wind into a chaotic mess, making it impossible to see far.
Han Li’s expression changed as the buzzing from the barrier grew louder, and to maintain it, the loss of Mana had increased significantly compared to before.
The might of the Black Wind Banner was still on the rise.
Taking a deep breath, he instinctively glanced down and considered that seeking refuge underground might be a good idea.
Just as this thought emerged, about a zhang away from his barrier, a black wind column as thick as a bowl rose from the ground and began to rapidly spin and expand.

Immediately, an immense strength came down from above and the azure barrier involuntarily began to drift towards the wind column.
Han Li was taken aback, his Mana suddenly concentrated, and the barrier shone brightly, just barely managing to stop the movement.
Then, over a dozen golden flying swords shot out from the barrier, intertwining and flashing around it.
The intercrossing Sword Qi soon shredded the not-yet-fully-functional wind column into pieces, turning it into black Qi-only to see the black Qi reconverge and start forming a tornado once more.
Seeing this, Han Li’s face turned grim and he beckoned Silvermoon, retreating rapidly.
It appeared that these wind columns were indeed sinister, making underground escape unsafe as well.
After carefully dodging several similar columns, the two finally reached a corner at the very edge of the space.
Before them was a dim, grey barrier.
As Han Li had expected, not only was the fierce wind here much weaker, but those black wind columns hadn’t appeared here either.
The two could finally take a breather.
However, Han Li’s face remained solemn, his gaze fixed towards the direction of the palace for a moment before a gleam of sharpness flashed in his eyes, then with a flick of his hand, he stabbed a foot-long golden flying sword fiercely into the barrier behind him.
With a “hiss,” a crack several feet deep opened in the grey barrier, but with a flash of white light, it healed just as before.
Han Li furrowed his brow.
This barrier seemed not very tough at first glance, easily split open by a flying sword, but its actual thickness was unfathomable.
Moreover, its rate of recovery under the restrictive formations was astonishingly fast.
Without piercing through the barrier in one strike, there was simply no hope of leaving this place.
With this in mind, he pondered briefly before moving his arm, his palm pressing onto his storage pouch.
With a flash of light, the Three Flames Fan appeared in his hand.
He carefully and slowly infused Spiritual Power into the fan, and with a flick, a tri-colored halo emerged upon it.
Han Li took a deep breath and gently fanned the barrier with the fan held in one hand.
Suddenly, a surge of tri-colored flames gushed out from the fan’s surface, silently melting and disintegrating the barrier, revealing a hole about a zhang wide.
However, after only a glance inside, Han Li’s face turned extremely unsightly.
For the attack that penetrated over ten zhang deep, the flames dissipated, yet the barrier showed no sign of being fully breached.
Although he had not exerted the full power of the Three Flames Fan, the thickness of this barrier still caused a hesitant look to appear on his face.
While the Three Flames Fan was not lacking in might, considering the first attack had not taken effect, he was not quite convinced that even increasing the power would be enough to break through the strange restrictive formations set by the ancient expert.
After all, this was where the Demoness Consort Long Meng and the Divine Ancestor’s Incarnation were sealed.
Moreover, unleashing the full might of the Three Flames Fan would not be quiet.
If it attracted the attention of that ancient devil after a single strike, it could be disastrous if the barrier remained unbroken yet he attracted trouble to himself.
Besides, he still suspected that the barrier, so eerily strange, might hold other linked restrictive formations within.
Breaking the barrier and triggering other backlash from the formations was no laughing matter.
With these thoughts, Han Li’s grip on the Three Flames Fan relaxed slightly, his expression growing uncertain.

“This place’s space won’t be so simple; it’s better if Master doesn’t act recklessly!” Silvermoon, who had been somewhat absent-minded ever since seeing Long Meng, suddenly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Han Li smiled, about to say something to the woman, but his expression abruptly darkened.
He turned his head and coldly addressed the raging winds to one side:
“Who is there, skulking around?
Don’t blame me for being inhospitable.”
After saying this, he gripped the Three Flame Fan tightly in his hand, and immediately, tricolor halos on the fan’s surface began to swirl unpredictably once again.
“Do not act hastily, Fellow Daoist Han.
I am fully aware of the might of your treasure fan, and I’d rather not suffer a hit for no good reason,” a man’s voice carried over leisurely.
Following that, two white silhouettes emerged from within the murky wind-a young man with the surname Xu and the Endless Sky Saintess, Lin Yinping.
Han Li’s eyebrows raised slightly, and his face did not conceal his surprise, but his voice was just as unchangingly cold as he said:
“Oh, the two of you have come here.
Are you planning to take this opportunity to make a move against Han?”
After speaking these words, he appeared to casually glance toward the direction of the palace.
Although that area was where the winds were strongest, with the majority of the black wind pillars converging there, it still couldn’t hide the faint rumblings of thunder mixed with the wind, and occasionally, one or two piercing golden lights tore through the sky, momentarily lighting up the entire space.
It seems the Nine True Demon Subduing Array really was extraordinary.
Despite being assaulted by the formidable might of the Black Wind Banner, it was still holding up until now.
It was unknown whether the Eight Spirit Ruler was also partaking in the fray or not.
Han Li pondered inwardly.
However, seeing that the woman in the black robe was still unable to divert her attention here, he felt temporarily relieved and resumed staring at the man and woman in front of him with an indifferent demeanor.
“Fellow Daoist needn’t be so tense.
This time, the two of us have come not to trouble Brother Han, but to jointly discuss a strategy for self-preservation,” Lin Yinping seemed to have anticipated Han Li’s hostility and, after casting a soundproofing barrier with a raise of her hand, spoke unhurriedly.
“What kind of self-preservation strategy?” Han Li’s interest was piqued, though his tone remained emotionless.
“Why ask when Fellow Daoist Han already knows the answer.
With the Black Wind Banner of that ancient devilish Divine Ancestor being so formidable, it’s impossible for the few of us to be a match for him.
If we don’t take advantage of the moment when the demon is preoccupied with the Demoness Consort from the spirit realm and leave this perilous place, are we instead going to wait for the demon to turn around and leisurely dispose of us?” Since time was short, the woman did not dally and directly stated her intentions.
“Oh, does that mean the two of you no longer wish to obtain the spirit treasure?” Han Li’s eyes narrowed slightly as he asked calmly.
“Fellow Daoist jests.
Although spiritual treasures are precious, how can they compare to our lives?
This Divine Ancestor has been trapped beneath this tower for so many years, his True Yuan long since depleted.
And our Nascent Souls are the best medicine for him to regain his Qi.
Once he gets a break, he definitely won’t let us go,” the young man with the surname Xu seemed to have some understanding of ancient devils and spoke decisively.
“What do you plan to do?” Han Li vaguely guessed the other party’s thoughts but still asked tonelessly.
“Of course, we will join forces to launch a surprise attack on the ancient devil guarding the transportation formation over there, and then make our escape,” the young man with the surname Xu stated without hesitation.
“Just the few of us?
Are you really aware of how formidable the ancient devil with two heads and four arms is?” Han Li scoffed and retorted.
“What, can’t our few combined strengths take down this devil?” Lin Yinping sounded somewhat surprised and asked with a light laugh.
“If you knew about this demon, that in the past, he managed to escape under the siege of three great cultivators and more than a dozen other Nascent Soul cultivators, would you still hold such confidence?” Han Li casually stroked the Feathered Fan in his hand and spoke slowly.
“Is this ancient devil the same one who escaped from your Tian Luo lands in the past?” The young man with the surname Xu suddenly exclaimed in surprise!
“Correct, it is that demon.”
Seeing Han Li so certain, the Great Immortal Master from The Moulan and Lin Yinping on the side exchanged glances, their faces showing a tinge of hesitation.
“What if the two of us join in?
This should be sufficient to drive back the demon, right?” Suddenly, a chilling voice came from above their heads.
Just as the expressions of Han Li and the others changed drastically, a flash of yellow and purple light in the midst of the yellow wind revealed the figures of the Silver-winged Yaksha and the Lion Bird.
These two demons were enveloped in spiritual light and seemed completely unafraid of the evil winds in the sky, floating there undisturbed.
It appeared that the Wind Escape Divine Skill of the Silver-winged Yaksha thrived in such harsh conditions and was in its element.
“It’s you two; do you also wish to join hands?” After recognizing the two demons, Han Li regained his composure.
“Of course, although we are not the same as you, in the eyes of the ancient Divine Ancestor, there is no difference.
If we don’t leave, our fate is all but sealed!” the Silver-winged Yaksha said unabashedly.
“Good, with the help of the two esteemed daoists, and if we add Daoist Gui Ling into the mix, our success is all but assured.
We mustn’t delay; let’s act now!
Who knows how much time that Array and the Eight Spirit Ruler can buy us.” The young man with the surname Xu wholeheartedly agreed, his face flashing with murderous intent as he turned to Han Li.
Evidently, as long as Han Li agreed, their combined forces would be formed.
The two Silver-winged Yaksas also turned their gaze to Han Li.
Han Li subconsciously licked his lips and, after a brief silence, gradually nodded his head.
“We’re only aiming to temporarily repel this demon, not necessarily to destroy it completely; this number of people is indeed sufficient.
Alright, I will now call back Daoist Gui.” Since he had made up his mind, Han Li wasted no further time.
He immediately pinched a hand gesture and his body’s Life Origin Token trembled, beginning to emit a faint spiritual light.
The two Silver-winged Yaksas and the Lion Bird took this opportunity to descend from the sky and stand aside.
It was but a moment later when a flash of yellow light appeared where Han Li was standing, and like a ghost, the ugly woman silently appeared behind him.
