Chapter 1989 Infighting
"Friend Li, it looks like they won't be able to finish this in a short time, should we?"
Fang Chan looked at Han Li and tilted his head towards the treetop.
"Brother Luo, the current opportunity is indeed good."
Han Li was also somewhat moved at this moment, so he transmitted his thoughts.
"Haha, Junior Brother, be careful, someone else is coming."
Luo Hong chuckled and answered the question irrelevantly.
"what!"
Han Li was startled and quickly looked towards the entrance of the temple.
Almost at the same time, a loud "bang" was heard, and the two heavy doors of the temple suddenly exploded, and large pieces of rubble flew directly towards everyone!
"careful!"
Han Li immediately gave a warning and dodged a huge rock coming towards him.
Although the incident happened suddenly, Han Li and others had almost eliminated the enemy and they all avoided the boulder safely.
But the situation of Zhu Yan and his four companions was not so good.
"what!"
Xu Yinglong suddenly let out a scream, and a large amount of blood gushed out from his abdomen, mixed with fragments of internal organs!
It turned out that he was trying to avoid a huge rock just now, and several sword puppets found an opportunity and almost cut him in half with one sword!
"who!"
Zhu Yan was furious. He punched hard, temporarily forcing away the sword puppet in front of him, then turned to look at the entrance of the temple.
“Hahaha, I didn’t expect that the two city lords of Qingyang and Baiyan are here.
Don't worry, we don't want to steal your puppets, we just want the key."
Accompanied by laughter, five figures walked into the hall.
Two of them were the city lords of Tongyu and Xuanzhi cities—Qin Yuan and Fu Jian.
And between the two of them, there was a sinister man with an eagle-hook nose, who was none other than Shao Ying, the Xuancheng elder who was in the early stage of Daluo!
Behind the three of them, there was a tall man wrapped in white bandages and a short and fat middle-aged man. They were Qin Yuan and Fu Jian’s confidants respectively.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, Fellow Daoist Fu, we are all Xuancheng cultivators. If you had arrived here earlier, we would be willing to share this key with you.
But now we have almost cleared all obstacles, and you are just coming here to pick peaches, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"
Chen Yang looked at Qin Yuan and the others, frowning.
"Ahem. Who wants to share a key with a traitor like you?
Elder Shao, stop wasting time talking to them. Please stop Zhu Yan and we will go get the treasure now!"
Qin Yuan glanced at Chen Yang with disdain, then bowed to Shao Ying beside him.
"you!"
Chen Yang was furious when he heard this, but before he could react, Shao Ying had already swooped over and grabbed Zhu Yan's throat with his right hand as hard as black iron!
"Damn it, Fellow Daoist Li, we all serve the same person, please give us a hand!"
Chen Yang analyzed the situation on the field in an instant. One of their people was seriously injured, and the strongest Zhu Yan was still being held back by Shao Ying. He and Xuanyuan Xing had to guard against those sword puppets and deal with the offensive of Qin Yuan and the other four. It could be said that their situation was in danger.
Little did he know that while Chen Yang was transmitting the message, Fu Jian on the other side was also not idle.
"Friend Li, as long as you don't bring anyone to attack, our two cities will definitely give us a reward as a thank you gift afterwards!"
"Brother, which side should we help? Or should we kill them all?"
Han Li did not respond immediately, but sent a voice message to Luo Hong for advice.
"Junior brother, just try to persuade them to make peace, there is no need to take action."
Luo Hong replied mysteriously.
"Persuade peace?"
Han Li was a little confused when he heard this, but he immediately smiled and said:
“Everyone, we are all Xuancheng cultivators, why do we have to make such a fuss?
There aren't many people from Puppet City right now, so it's not a wise move to engage in uncontrolled infighting."
"Stop talking nonsense. If they don't know what to do today, they will die!"
Shao Ying immediately sneered.
However, just as he finished speaking, a shout of scolding came from the entrance of the temple:
"Asshole! What did I tell you? Have you forgotten everything?"
Not only was the voice majestic, but it also contained a peculiar power that made the hearts of all who heard it tremble.
Everyone in the hall's expression changed immediately, and they all looked towards the door, only to see four more figures walking in.
The two leaders among them were a middle-aged man with an unremarkable appearance and a short and sturdy old man. They looked very ordinary, but they were Erqi and Lady Rikka!
Following behind them was a man and a woman wearing bone armor, they were Zhu Ziyuan and Zhu Ziqing, brother and sister.
"Lord City Lord!"
Shao Ying's face turned pale. He thought that what Erqi had said to him before was just some polite words. He didn't expect that now that they had entered the Great Ruins, they still had to unite.
"What are you standing there for? Get rid of these puppets!"
Erkui said unhappily that it was a good thing he arrived in time, otherwise his men would have almost caused a disaster!
"Strange, Erqi would actually scold Shao Ying for Chen Yang and Zhu Yan. The latter is the elder of Xuancheng and his true confidant!"
Han Li was very puzzled when he saw this, but he also understood that Senior Brother Luo had sensed the arrival of Erqi and that was why he did not let him take action.
"There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. I think this evil guy wants to use the four city lords to do something, otherwise he wouldn't care so much about their lives."
Luo Hong gave a timely reminder.
Han Li couldn't help but nodded in his heart, secretly alert to this point.
In front of Erqi, neither Chen Yang and his four companions nor Shao Ying and his companions dared to act rashly.
Therefore, with the joint efforts of the two Daluo Xuanshi, those sword puppets were quickly torn into pieces.
"Meet the City Lord!"
After the temple became quiet, everyone came to Erqi and bowed to him respectfully.
"City Lord Qin, City Lord Fu, you two are really capable. You haven't even touched the secret treasure yet, and you don't know where the enemy is hiding, but you're already focused on fighting among yourselves. Do you really like killing each other? Huh?!"
Erqi looked at Qin Yuan and Fu Jian with a gloomy face, releasing his aura that was as terrifying as that of an ancient wild beast.
"I dare not! I just wanted to keep the key in my own hands and then personally present it to the city lord. That's why I was eager to compete for credit and had a conflict with Fellow Daoist Zhu and Fellow Daoist Chen!"
Qin Yuan hurriedly explained with sweat on his forehead.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Qin, you are speaking very fluently now. You are not panting or coughing at all."
How could Chen Yang miss such an opportunity? He laughed sarcastically.
"This is indeed our fault because we were greedy for merit. We will definitely compensate Baiyan and Qingyang Cities later. I hope the City Lord will forgive us!"
Fu Jian ignored Chen Yang and followed Qin Yuan's instructions, bowing and begging for mercy.
"Humph, considering that you are also doing this for my Xuancheng plan, I will not punish you today. I will deal with you properly when we return in the future!"
It was obvious that Erqi was going to raise it high and then put it down gently. After teaching him a lesson, he restrained his breath, smiled and looked at Han Li and said:
"Friend Li, I didn't expect that among these people you are the one with the best sense of the overall situation.
Very good, you will receive the Holy Key now."
Suddenly, everyone present, including Han Li, was stunned.
All the people of Erqi have arrived, but they don't go to collect the Holy Key themselves. Instead, they want to reward them based on their merits. This is really hard to understand.
"Brother Han, don't be confused. He has probably sensed the Holy Key in your body, so he lets you keep an extra one. He will have to take it out in the end anyway."
Luo Hong cleared up Han Li's confusion at the right time.
"I see. That explains it."
Han Li understood something instantly after hearing this. He did not refuse and just thanked him before jumping onto the giant bronze tree.
Although this Holy Key was also protected by the Star Restriction, it undoubtedly did not pose a problem for Han Li. He quickly integrated the second Holy Key into his body.
"Boom boom boom!"
A rapid heartbeat was heard. The two holy keys underwent some changes when they met, and they actually began to beat like hearts at the same time.
Immediately, a hot current flowed out from the two holy keys and poured into Han Li's body, causing his blood and energy to surge rapidly, and actually opened up a mysterious orifice!
Surprised, Han Li hastened to restrain his own aura, but a hint of it was still revealed, causing everyone to look at him sideways.
"May I ask the city lord, what kind of place can this key open?"
Han Li calmly diverted everyone's attention.
Erqi did not expose Han Li after hearing this, but first talked about the Holy Key, and then emphasized:
"Deep in the ruins lies a skeleton with limitless power. It is a treasure that truly possesses earth-shaking power. If we can get even a glimpse of that skeleton, we will gain tremendous benefits.
This time, Sha Xin and I are here to fight for the skeleton!
In addition, there are many rare treasures from heaven and earth that you have not seen along the way, which can also be found in the resting place of the skeleton!
This is a great opportunity. Each of us can return with a full load. There is no need for internal fighting. We just need to be careful about Puppet City!
Although they had already eaten the pancake once, Erkui described it so vividly and even he showed an expression of extreme desire, which immediately aroused everyone's greed again.
This was exactly the result that Erqi wanted to see. Fortunately, Han Li already knew about the Ji Lin Holy Skeleton and was not fooled at all.
"Friend Li, we must not let Erkui get the skeleton, otherwise we will all die!"
Chen Yang suddenly transmitted the message.
"Friend Chen, if you can't even be honest with me, then stop wasting your breath."
Han Li now had no trust in Chen Yang and was unwilling to listen to him at all.
"Well, since Fellow Daoist Li must know, I won't hide it from you.
In fact, Chen was not originally a Xuanist from Qingyang City, but he practiced in Xuancheng.
Back then, Chen and his brother Chen Lie were both spies trained by Erkui, and would be sent to other cities to lurk in the future.
In order to be competent for this task, we all underwent rigorous training.
But in the final assessment, we were all arranged to assassinate each other!
In the end, my brother died at my hands. From that day on, I vowed to make Erkui pay with blood!"
Chen Yang sighed and told the story of his grudge with Erqi.
"Amazing! This Chen Yang is really good at pretending. He can even pass such an obedience test. If he had hesitated a little when killing his brother, or showed any sadness afterwards, he would not be alive today!"
After hearing this, Luo Hong couldn't help but feel sorry for Chen Yang.
"Brother Luo, what do you think of Erkui?"
Han Li didn't care much about Chen Yang's tragic experience. He wanted revenge, so there was no reason for him to risk his life.
"He must die, but there is no need for us to get involved in Chen Yang's plan. I have other plans for my brother."
Luo Hong also wanted to kill Erqi, but the method he wanted was a little more special.
"understood."
Han Li knew the limit instantly and promised Chen Yang right away that as long as Erqi showed signs that were disadvantageous to them, they would take action immediately, otherwise they would not get involved.
"Okay, let's leave here. We must not let the people from Puppet City get there first."
Erqi gave an order and led everyone out of the temple.
However, just as he stepped out of the door, the entire temple began to shake violently. Cracks appeared on the walls and continued to grow, causing countless pieces of debris to fall.
This situation was exactly the same as when Han Li took away the first Holy Key.
Qin Yuan and others were a little flustered when they saw it for the first time.
"Don't panic, it's just a landslide."
Erqi spoke lightly at this time, then waved his sleeves, and a white light shot out and rushed into the sky.
As soon as the white light left Erqi's sleeve, it quickly grew larger and brighter, turning into a white light column that was dozens of feet long. It flashed with hot arcs and made terrifying crackling sounds.
With a loud "bang", a large hole was blasted out on the top of the entire underground space by a white light column, leading directly to the ground above, allowing them to clearly see the thick yellow clouds in the sky.
Seeing this power, everyone's awe of Erqi deepened.
Afterwards, without Erqi's urging, everyone jumped into the pit, and with a few leverage points, they easily came to the ground.
As soon as everyone left the altar area, the entire area collapsed completely due to the shaking of the ground and sank into the ground.
“Don’t look at it anymore. Once the altar sinks, a large number of puppets will pour out.
Although we are not afraid of them, there is no need to waste time on them. Follow me and leave here quickly."
Erqi had obviously seen the puppet army that emerged after the altar sank. He gave a warning and started to rush out of the city.
There were already enough puppets obtained before, so Han Li immediately led his men to follow the evacuating force.
Soon, a large number of red-armored puppets crawled out from the ground. Their movement speed was much faster than the previous wolf-headed puppets.
Chen Yang and the others all had some injuries on their bodies, unable to run at full speed, and were now in a state of being overtaken.
"Fellow Daoist Liuhua."
Seeing this, Erqi called out to Madam Liuhua.
The latter understood instantly, stretched out his hand to his waist, and a gray light flashed in his palm, and a gray incense burner appeared.
There were dots of starlight on the incense burner, which was actually a star weapon. As Madam Liuhua chanted the spell, large clouds of gray smoke swarmed out of the burner and quickly spread out, forming a smoke column thousands of feet long behind everyone.
As long as those red puppets were covered by the gray smoke, their movements would immediately become slow, but it had no effect on Han Li and the others.
"Is it a star weapon similar to the Eight-sided White Jade Pillar? This Madam Liuhua really has many tricks!"
Han Li immediately realized that the magical power of the gray smoke was actually similar to the mysterious weapon that Luo Hong had previously used to suppress the halberd-wielding warrior, but the effect was much worse, but the range was extremely large.
