Han Li quickly glanced around, and there before him lay a vast square stretching several thousand zhangs, paved entirely with white stone. Inside, countless figures were densely packed, resembling human beings. Yet in finer details, they differed greatly. Some had unusually long ears, like rabbits'; others were covered in black fur, resembling tall black chimpanzees; still others shone with golden light all over their bodies, as if clad in a full suit of golden armor, making it impossible to discern their facial features at all. Even among them, there were beings with human upper bodies and serpentine lower bodies—the Wua people. However, the most numerous were a distinct ethnic group with pale green skin and wan, pale faces. They wore uniform green armor and each carried a long, glowing red spear. Both men and women belonged to this group, yet they were constantly whispering to one another, their faces expressing profound anxiety. However, these individuals all exhibited varying degrees of magical fluctuations, with their cultivation levels ranging from foundational to golden essence stage, most of them being at the foundational or golden essence stage. There were indeed a few at the infant stage and transcendent stage, though only a handful—around a hundred and twenty—had reached that level. They had gathered separately, forming their own large circle. Could it be that after thousands of years without contact, this small city, known as "Green Light City," has undergone some distinct changes? Moreover, his divine awareness sensed subtle fluctuations of seals hovering faintly above the entire plaza, yet no one had lifted off the ground—clearly, there existed a seal that prevented aerial movement. Han Li's eyes flashed several times as he took a deep breath and then slowly walked toward the crowd. Just as he was trying to understand what had transpired here, suddenly, among the gathering of immortals at the level of Transcendent Realms, a dwarf-like being with an unusually large head and completely bald, exhaled a soft "Ah!" and, with one hand reaching into his chest, withdrew a wooden tray. Various streams of spiritual light shimmered across the surface, and some unfamiliar characters drifted and swayed. "Have you found something, Yuan brother?" asked a nearby being with pale green skin. "A new comrade from the Upper Clan, at the third stage, has just arrived here." If I'm not mistaken, the transmission spell arrays within the city have already been severed by the Jiaochi clan. How then can anyone have arrived here?" The tall, broad-shouldered foreigner frowned, his expression puzzled. "Should such a thing be true, then perhaps the Jiaochi clan overlooked that particular array. In that case, quickly locate this person and question them thoroughly." The green-skinned foreigner stirred slightly, his face brightening with excitement. "This is impossible. I personally tested all the transmission arrays just recently, and indeed, they have all lost their functionality." The tall foreigner stared intently at the wooden disk in his hands, shaking his head repeatedly. "No more delays—go find this person immediately. Once we question them, everything will become clear. Yuan brother, with your luminous disk, shouldn't it be straightforward to pinpoint their location?" The other foreigner, glowing with a deep red light, interrupted, eager to contribute. "He just appeared, right here on the plaza." I had already sealed the area with a restriction, right there. "The tall-headed outsider's eyes flashed with brightness, and he immediately turned toward where Han Li stood. The other two followed suit, glancing in the same direction. Though the plaza was crowded and Han Li had slightly concealed his cultivation level with a secret technique, he still stood out prominently among the lower-tier outsiders, quickly drawn to him by several cultivators at the Lingxu stage. Han Li had only just approached a few of them and heard a couple of sentences when, upon being observed by these Lingxu cultivators, those who sensed his presence immediately turned back to look at him. Their gaze met his directly. Frowning slightly, Han Li was somewhat surprised that they had found him so quickly. Yet after a brief pause, he strode confidently straight toward the three of them. A short while later, he stood before the four Lingxu cultivators, equally observing them. "Ah, friend, have you just arrived in Lüguang City? May I know your name?" The large-headed foreigner's hands flashed with luminous light, and the wooden tray vanished instantly. He then asked calmly, "My name is Han. I've just arrived in this city. What has happened here? Is there a conflict with someone?" Han's gaze swept left and right as he calmly inquired. "Ah, it's a pleasure to meet you, Master Han. It seems you were transported from a very distant place—otherwise, how could you not know that the Jiaochi Clan has begun absorbing our Thirteen Cloud Clans?" The large-headed man stared at Han for a while before finally expressing a slight expression of curiosity. "The Jiaochi Clan!" Han's face suddenly changed. This clan was indeed one of the top ten most powerful families across the entire spiritual realm. "Master Han, you can learn about the other matters later. What I'd like to know is exactly how you arrived at this city. After all, the transmission arrays leading to this city should have been severed by the Jiaochi Clan long ago," the green-skinned foreigner beside him couldn't help but ask. "I was transported here from overseas," Han replied, without any concealment, slowly. "Overseas? Is there really a teleportation array like this in a small city such as Greenlight City?" Hearing this, the foreign being enveloped in red light expressed some surprise. "Indeed, there are two overseas teleportation arrays, though both have been abandoned and deteriorated for many years. Could you kindly tell me from which overseas location you arrived?" The large-headed foreign being also looked visibly astonished. "The Fire Coral Islands!" Han Li thought quickly and replied smoothly. "Ah, so it is the Fire Coral Islands! If I'm not mistaken, that teleportation array has been destroyed for several thousand years now—long before Greenlight City lost contact with it. Could you explain that, then?" The large-headed being murmured, his expression naturally tinged with suspicion. "Actually, it's quite simple..." Han Li remained composed, briefly explaining the circumstances surrounding the destruction of the array. Yet, he said nothing about his own origins, allowing the group to naturally assume that he was a cultivator from that region. "Although by chance I managed to recover the Kungyun Crystal, an unexpected issue arose during the restoration of the spell array. Not only was the recorded transmission array inaccurate, but the Kungyun Crystal itself underwent certain mutations while inside the sea beast's body. This array has now been tested and confirmed to be capable of transporting only one person at a time. Moreover, between each transmission, a seven-day waiting period is required before a second transport can be initiated; otherwise, the array will immediately be destroyed." Han Li expressed his deep frustration. Currently, even his desire to immediately depart using the array now seems unlikely. Upon hearing the first part of this explanation, the three foreign guests had all shown excitement. However, upon hearing the final two sentences, their expressions immediately turned serious. "Such a setback—currently, the transmission array that Master Han has used can no longer be activated," the green-skinned foreign guest expressed his disappointment. "Indeed so!" Han Li sighed. "We are not doubting Master Han's account, but this matter is of great significance. We need to personally verify these details. Master Han, do you have any objections?" After exchanging glances, the large-headed foreigner cleared his throat and smiled warmly. "Of course, there's no problem," Han Li replied with a light smile. "Brother Hong, please stay here and keep the others under control. I'll go check on that teleportation array first." Turning his head slightly, the large-headed foreigner addressed the glowing foreigner seriously. "Very well," the one in the flame glow hesitated briefly before nodding in agreement. Thus, the two followed Han Li and immediately headed toward the edge of the square. A short while later, the three of them returned to the teleportation hall where Han Li had first emerged. The teleportation array remained perfectly still. "There are clear traces of spatial disturbances—someone must have just activated this array," the green-skinned foreigner said, scanning the entire hall with his spiritual awareness. Immediately, the large-headed foreigner stepped into the array, circled it several times, then pressed a hand seal, sending a beam of green light striking the array. At once, the previously still transmission array emitted a low hum and began to ripple with a faint white glow. Upon seeing this, the green-skinned alien immediately widened his eyes, his face brightening with surprise. However, the next moment, the hum abruptly ceased, the luminous aura dissipated completely, and the array settled back into stillness. "No, the array at the other end is indeed unstable—it appears to have been shut down," the large-headed alien said, his expression growing serious. Hearing this, the green-skinned alien also darkened in demeanor. "Ladies and gentlemen, is the situation in this city truly this dire? Could you kindly explain to me what has transpired regarding the Angle-Chi clan?" Han Li asked calmly at this point. "What else is there to say? You've already seen how our small city of green light has gathered so many cultivators—most of them are locals who have fled here. We originally intended to use our city's transmission array to evacuate." Yet they had not expected the Jiaochi clan to act so swiftly—the magical arrays connecting this city to all other cities simultaneously failed. It's likely either that those cities have already fallen, or that the Jiaochi clan dispatched agents to sever this city's magical lineage. But since your companion just arrived, it's probably the former. The Jiaochi clan's vanguard has already reached the city's gates, awaiting the arrival of the main force. We were just about to gather all our strength and abandon the city. However, the key question remains: with the vanguard holding us back, whether we can actually escape is still uncertain. At the very least, we—these high-level beings—certainly won't let them go without a fight." The head of the foreign clan smiled wryly as he explained. Upon hearing this, Han Li's face immediately grew serious.
