**A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, Volume 10: Battle of the Demon Realm**

"Yuan Sha, how can this be you! When did you send a clone to the Spirit Realm? If I recall correctly, you weren't on the list of Holy Ancestors descending this time, nor were you qualified to have your true body descend later on." The Demon Clan member in the ancient mirror was none other than the clone of the Bloodlight Holy Ancestor, who commanded the Demon Clan army in Tianyuan City. He was a handsome youth in a blood-red robe, but his expression seemed displeased.

"Bloodlight," the woman in the blue palace dress replied expressionlessly, "I merely sent a clone to this realm to assist Six Extremities. I'm not commanding an army, nor do I intend to descend with my true body, so this naturally doesn't violate our original agreement. What do you have to criticize?"

"Hmph, any explanation is just sophistry," Bloodlight retorted. He was furious but clearly wary of the woman, so he could only coldly question her. "Putting that aside, since your clone is assisting Six Extremities, why is it in the area I'm responsible for? By all rights, you should give me an explanation. Don't tell me the sensing treasure in my warship is malfunctioning."

"It's not malfunctioning," the woman said, her expression softening slightly. "I am indeed in your managed area, currently pursuing a Human Clan cultivator. However, this action was ordered by Six Extremities and is beneficial to all Holy Clan armies. You don't need to concern yourself too much."

"Pursuing a Human Clan cultivator?" The red-robed youth's eyes flickered as he spoke with a meaningful tone. "With the teleportation abilities of your two Stone Demons, who among the Human Clan, besides a Mahayana cultivator, could escape your pursuit? Since this matter concerns the entire Holy Clan army, I cannot stand idly by. I will send other clones to meet you immediately and assist you."

"So, you still don't trust me," the woman said, narrowing her beautiful eyes and sneering. "Other clones... I've only vaguely heard about one or two, Bloodlight, but you've actually sent three major clones to descend into the Spirit Realm? Aren't you afraid something might happen to your true body in the Holy Realm? Besides, isn't it too late to send people now! By the time your clones arrive, I'll have already finished the battle."

"My affairs, Yuan Sha, are not yours to manage," the red-robed youth stated indifferently. "As for the other clones, they should not be far from you. They'll likely meet up with you in about half a day. I just borrowed the Qiankun Plate from Poison Dragon; it can certainly assist you."

"What, the Qiankun Plate! Poison Dragon lent that treasure to you? He always regarded it as his life!" The woman's expression changed, finally showing surprise.

"Hehe, as long as the price is sufficient, why wouldn't Poison Dragon lend it?" the red-robed youth said, his topic suddenly shifting. "By the way, what is the background of the Human Clan cultivator you're chasing? To be able to escape from your hands, they must be an extremely important figure among the Human Clan! Contact my major clones immediately; I'll have them loop around and set up an ambush to cut them off unexpectedly."

"You can help, but this person once gravely offended me in the Lower Realm," the woman said, her expression shifting slightly. After a brief contemplation, she spoke with gravity. "After they are captured, they must be handed over to me for disposition. Otherwise, I'd rather spend more time dealing with this matter by myself."

"Offended you in the Lower Realm? That's quite interesting!" The red-robed youth paused, then revealed a hint of mockery. "I seem to recall hearing that a wisp of your soul, Yuan Sha, was destroyed by a lower-realm individual. It wouldn't happen to be the Human Clan cultivator you're pursuing now, would it? Haha, if so, what a coincidence!"

"If you're here just to mock me, then there's nothing more to say." The woman's beautiful face clouded over. With a flick of her jade hand, black light shimmered, and she was about to cut off the connection via the ancient mirror.

"Wait!" the red-robed youth suddenly bellowed. "I agree to your condition. However, after this matter is resolved, you must help me with something else, and then you must immediately leave the area I'm responsible for."

"Help you with what?" The woman was somewhat surprised, and the spell in her hand paused.

"It's simple," the youth said without hesitation. "Also help me deal with a Human Clan cultivator."

"Don't you already have three major clones descended? Why do you still need my assistance! What are you planning? You're not trying to make this clone of mine fight a Human Clan Mahayana stage cultivator, are you!" The woman in the blue palace dress was startled, her heart tightening, as she asked.

"Hehe, you really have quite the imagination, thinking about fighting a Human Clan Mahayana cultivator," the red-robed youth said with a slight smile. "Even if you wanted to die, I wouldn't be willing to sacrifice these clones. Don't worry, the one we need to deal with is only a Human Clan Body Integration stage cultivator. It's just that this person has many treasures, and while my clones have descended into physical bodies, they didn't bring suitable treasures, which is why they couldn't deal with him. With your assistance, it won't be a problem."

"Only a Body Integration cultivator? Then there's no problem; it's settled," the blue-robed woman said, her heart relaxing, without any further hesitation. "Tell me how to contact those clones."

The red-robed youth readily agreed, then pointed a finger at the mirror's surface, and immediately, a stream of silver runes surged out from within the mirror...

At the same time, Han Li, who was rapidly flying ahead, had no idea that his two Demon Clan enemies had unintentionally joined forces. He was flying while heavily contemplating, but for a time, he couldn't devise a plan to escape. This was hardly surprising! Not long ago, he had engaged in a fierce battle with several clones of the Bloodlight Holy Ancestor, exhausting most of his temporary formation tools, talismans, and magic artifacts. Naturally, he felt a great lack of resources. Moreover, although he sensed the danger from the Demon Clan woman behind him, he hadn't truly gone all out, so he was still completely unaware of her abilities, which greatly restricted his countermeasures.

After pondering for a while, Han Li decided to first ascertain the woman's true strength before considering anything else. After all, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you ensure victory! His thoughts concluded! Han Li, in his Kunpeng form, immediately shot countless feathers from his body, transforming them into talismans, formation flags, and formation plates. In one go, he set up over a dozen traps and magic formations of varying sizes behind him, then continued to flee without a care.

A short while later, after hearing a series of faint, explosive roars behind him, Han Li's connection to all those magic formations and traps was lost. Han Li's heart sank slightly! Judging by the speed at which the opponent destroyed his arrangements, her abilities were definitely several times stronger than he had anticipated, far surpassing those of an ordinary Demon Lord, and seemingly no weaker than Bloodlight's three clones. Furthermore, the opponent's seemingly familiar aura made his heart subtly race, vaguely reminding him of a formidable enemy he had long feared. Could she truly be the clone of that particular individual? If so, given the profound animosity from when he had destroyed her soul fragment in the Human Realm back then, her relentless pursuit didn't seem so strange.

After his earlier contemplation, Han Li finally recalled that the aura of the woman behind him was somewhat similar to that of the Yuan Sha Holy Ancestor's soul fragment he had sealed in the Human Realm years ago. Startled, a hint of trepidation arose in his heart. However, now that he knew the opponent possessed considerable power and might even be his major Demon Clan adversary, he was even less likely to change his mind and stop for a direct confrontation. Instead, he simply activated his internal magical power and fled at full speed.

He had already figured that even though the stone palace could teleport, it consumed far more magical power than ordinary flight. Over a prolonged period, the opponent would likely be the first to give out. Therefore, Han Li steeled his heart, resolving to endure the pursuit even if it meant depleting his vital energy. For the following period, he no longer attempted any probing maneuvers. Instead, he brought out some pills, held two high-grade spirit stones in his hands, and began absorbing spiritual energy and refining the medicinal power. Meanwhile, the stone palace continued to relentlessly pursue him, teleporting repeatedly after short intervals.

The two, like shooting stars chasing the moon, continued their pursuit ten thousand feet in the sky for another half a day! They flew over wild lands and deep yellow deserts, arriving above a swamp covered in low shrubs. The sky was exceptionally clear; besides a few lazily drifting white clouds and the scorching, bright sun high above, nothing else appeared within sight. Han Li, in his Kunpeng form, noticed that the frequency of the stone palace's teleportations behind him was gradually decreasing, and his heart couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Just then, a faint voice suddenly echoed in his spiritual sense: "Master, be careful, there seems to be an enemy's aura ahead!" The voice was not loud and full of childishness; it sounded like a young boy. Han Li was startled upon hearing it. He halted his escape light with a flap of his four wings and hastily asked: "Who is it? Could it be..."

"Master, don't you recognize me? I am Leopard-Kirin. I just woke up and am about to fall back into slumber. But there are indeed enemies ahead; I can clearly sense their malicious aura towards Master." The young boy seemed unusually anxious, speaking a few more hurried words before letting out a yawn, and then no further sound was heard.

"Leopard-Kirin Beast? Malicious aura?" Han Li grew greatly astonished and suspicious. The Leopard-Kirin Beast had been asleep for hundreds of years, so its sudden, unexpected awakening at this moment, and its ability to speak human words, naturally greatly surprised him. But what was this malicious aura the beast mentioned? Why hadn't he detected any signs of it before?

After his thoughts rapidly whirled, Han Li, in his giant Kunpeng form, instantly swept his gaze forward like lightning. At the same time, his immense spiritual sense surged outwards like a tide. However, the surrounding void was empty; there was no suspicious place whatsoever. Han Li couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

At the same time, within a mysterious magic artifact, three blood-colored figures stood side by side, looking at a huge crystal wall suspended before them. On the misty white surface of the massive crystal wall, a silver giant Kunpeng, wreathed in electrical arcs, was clearly reflected! This bird had four wings on its back and was looking around, left and right, examining something. Its light golden pupils were filled with an expression of suspicion.

"To think that the Human Clan cultivator Yuan Sha is pursuing is actually this person. Hehe, it's truly like searching high and low for something only to stumble upon it effortlessly!" The middle blood-colored figure suddenly let out a sinister laugh, filled with suppressed rage!
