Chapter 1987: Subjugating the General
The river is extremely magnificent, more than ten miles wide, and the water is red in color. When the waves hit the shore, they immediately make a "sizzling" sound.
It turns out that the heat in the river water is even stronger than that in the sand!
"This river doesn't look like it was formed naturally, but rather it looks like a part of a large formation. Junior Brother, why don't you go downstream? You should be able to find something."
Luo Hong reminded.
After nodding secretly, Han Li copied Luo Hong's words and began to lead everyone in the direction of the river.
This time, after walking for less than three days, they found a huge oasis.
Although most of the vegetation in the oasis is also red in color, it is at least a little different and no longer just a monotonous piece of sand.
There was nothing to say, so everyone immediately restrained their breathing and headed towards the depths of the oasis.
But soon after entering the dense forest, Fang Chan found a set of footprints. After carefully examining them, he said in a deep voice:
"The footprints are very fresh. It seems someone found this place before us."
"They might be from Puppet City. Be careful."
Han Li nodded, gave a reminder, and continued to lead his men forward.
After several hours, they walked out of the dense forest and the view ahead suddenly opened up. There appeared a huge city!
There are many buildings standing in the city, and their roofs are all red in color, piercing the sky like giant swords.
The city gate was half open, and everyone entered the city easily. However, after a search, they found that this damn place was extremely poor and there was nothing good.
Of course, they also found traces of rummaging by the previous group of people.
But it was obvious that they didn't gain anything, otherwise there would not be so few traces.
"It is said that there are countless treasures in the Great Ruins, but we have also explored two areas. Apart from some star tools, we can't find any treasures that are beneficial to cultivation!"
"The news about Daxu was spread by Erqi and Shaxin. They deceived us like this, I'm afraid they have other intentions."
"There's not a single person from Puppet City left. This damn place is really making me want to stay less and less."
After going through so many dangers to enter the Great Ruins, the harvest was so little. Fang Chan and other Xuanists from Baiyan City could not help but feel a lot of resentment in their hearts.
"Since there is no treasure, don't waste time and go to the city center."
Han Li came out of a building empty-handed, greeted everyone, and walked towards the center of the city.
Soon, everyone arrived at a huge square in the center of the city.
Looking at the crimson altar in front of them, Han Li and Shi Chuankong couldn't help but think of the word "as expected".
Although the color is different, the appearance of this altar is very similar to the one encountered in the palace ruins before.
There was a plaque hanging at the entrance of the altar, with three big characters "Youming Hall" written in mysterious characters on it.
“As expected, there will also be a Holy Key in this altar.
Brother Shi, are you sure you must collect all five Holy Keys to open the Holy Palace?"
Han Li retracted his gaze, looked at Shi Chuankong and asked.
"All five Holy Keys are indispensable. If you want to force your way in, you must have the strength of a Taoist master!"
Shi Chuankong was very sure.
"If that's the case, there's no need for us to compete with those people. We'll all have to cooperate in the end anyway."
From what we know, there are five such altars, which are distributed in various places outside Daxu.
I don’t know about others, but Erqi and Shaxin will definitely not die so easily. They will definitely be able to obtain one or two holy keys.
In this way, the more the Holy Keys are dispersed, the safer those who hold the Holy Keys will be.
"So Brother Li means we won't go down?"
Shi Chuankong thought it made sense and couldn't help asking.
"No, although we don't necessarily need to get the Holy Key, there may be something good underneath the altar. How can we let it go to others so easily?"
Han Li had a clear idea. He entered the altar this time to gain as much benefit as possible. Maybe he could even subdue some Taiyi-level star puppets.
Then, the six people entered the altar together, and soon arrived at a hall.
The hall was brightly lit, without any furnishings. Instead, there were square holes several feet high on the four walls, but they were empty inside.
But no one had any doubts about this, because there must have been puppets placed in these holes, and these puppets were now scattered on the floor of the hall.
These puppets were different from the ones Luo Hong and his companions had encountered before. Each of them was covered in red armor, with all the internal organs intact, and large amounts of silver mucus flowing out of their remains.
Fang Chan picked up a piece of red broken armor from the ground, squeezed it in his hand, and said in a deep voice:
"These puppets are quite powerful. The people in front of us can easily deal with them. Their strength should not be underestimated."
After saying that, he clenched his right hand hard and crushed the broken armor piece into pieces!
"Looking at the traces here, there should be only four people ahead. We have more people, so there's no need to worry too much. Let's keep moving forward."
With Luo Hong helping him secretly, Han Li would not be afraid as long as he didn't encounter E'qi or Sha Xin.
Soon, the six people walked through the hall and entered a corridor.
This corridor is not straight, but winding and continues to extend downwards.
However, Han Li had previous experience and was quite familiar with this.
However, after turning a corner, Han Li immediately encountered a situation that was different from before.
I saw that the corridor in front suddenly split into three, and they looked no different.
"There are footprints on the fork in the middle. The four people who came before should have chosen this road. Fellow Daoist Li, which way should we go?"
Fang Chan looked around and found that the forks on both sides were very clear, obviously the people ahead did not split up their forces here.
"No need to rush to catch up with them, we have more people, so we can just split up here.
Fellow Daoist Fang, the four of you go to the left fork, and I and Brother Shi go to the right fork.
If you reach the end of the fork you choose, turn back here and take the middle fork."
After Han Li pondered for a while, he made a decision immediately.
"That's fine. If we keep following them blindly, we won't gain anything.
But I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Li to make another thunder seal for me, just in case."
Fang Chan quickly agreed to Han Li's proposal, but also made a request.
It turned out that Fang Chan and the others' Mahakala Thunder Seal could not last long because it was not given by Luo Hong himself. Therefore, after more than two months of traveling, it had already faded.
"This is a trivial matter, just reach out your hand."
After secretly asking Luo Hong, Han Li immediately agreed.
After a moment, Fang Chan, who had regained the Mahakala Thunder Seal, led his men into the fork on the left.
"Let's go too."
With a greeting, Han Li took Shi Chuankong and walked into the fork on the right. The further they walked, the wider the passage became.
After just one stick of incense, the passage was wide enough for six people to walk side by side.
Suddenly, a sharp whistle came from the front. Han Li saw a white shadow flash, and a man in white clothes rushed over like lightning. The white lightsaber in his hand turned into a cold light and pierced Han Li's heart!
"No need to hide, use the sword of divine mind!"
Just as Han Li was about to dodge, Luo Hong's voice came from his soul.
Almost subconsciously, Han Li's eyes flashed, and he concentrated his spiritual sense, shooting out a crystal sword about an inch long, which shot into the body of the man in white faster than the lightsaber.
Suddenly, the man in white froze, but Han Li immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and took out a palm-sized white talisman from his chest.
"It turned out to be General Tiankui Xuan. Fortunately, Brother Li, you reacted quickly. This general is a talisman spirit transformed from a talisman. He can change between reality and illusion. In the outside world, there are naturally many ways to deal with him, but in this Jilin Void Realm, he is very difficult to deal with!"
Looking at the white talisman in Han Li's hand, the panic on Shi Chuankong's face disappeared, and he couldn't help but speak with admiration.
"Brother Shi seems to know a lot about him, is there any way to subdue him?"
Han Li held the dishonest talisman in his hand, unwilling to destroy it.
“Brother Li only needs to seal it with a spell to stop it from absorbing the power of the stars and make it non-threatening.
If you want to subdue him, Shi has to go out first before he can use all the methods he knows. "
Shi Chuankong replied immediately.
"I see."
When Han Li heard this, he immediately had an idea and condensed a crystal chain. This was the magical power born from his practice of the soul refining technique - the chain of divine thoughts.
Then, he used the method of separating the Yuan-separating chains obtained from Fengtiandu to transform the chain of divine thoughts into a seal.
After putting away the calm white talisman, the two continued to move deeper into the passage.
A quarter of an hour later, the light in the passage began to become brighter, and a fluctuation of star power that they had never seen before became more and more obvious.
Although neither of them spoke, they were silently on guard, ready to deal with any unexpected events that might occur at any time.
Just after the two turned the next corner, a square stone hall suddenly appeared in front of them. In it stood five crystal clear white stone pillars, emitting bursts of starlight.
On these five stone pillars, except for the one on the far left, the remaining four had a white talisman pasted on them. It was the Tiankui Talisman that Han Li had obtained earlier.
The Tiankui Talisman in the middle is obviously much larger than the other three.
As soon as the two stepped into the stone hall, the four Tiankui Talismans immediately responded, all emitting dazzling white light, then flew out from the stone pillars and transformed into four men in white.
Three of the men in white were exactly the same as the ones Han Li had sealed before, except that the man transformed by the largest one, the Tiankui Talisman, was not only much taller, but also wore white armor and held a long spear, making him look even more majestic and powerful!
What’s even more special is that there’s a light flashing in this talisman spirit’s eyes, as if it has gained spiritual intelligence!
"This white-armored talisman spirit not only has the strength of Taiyi, but also has spiritual intelligence, which is really rare.
Junior brother, please ask Shi Chuankong to leave this stone hall, and I will help you subdue them."
When Luo Hong was speaking, four Tiankui Xuan generals had already pounced over.
Especially the white-armored talisman spirit, whose speed was astonishingly fast. The long spear in his hand was swung leaving only afterimages, and he also displayed some kind of starlight magical power, which covered Han Li and Shi Chuankong, making them feel as if they were stuck in a quagmire.
However, Han Li had mastered the means to restrain them after all. Even though he had to protect Shi Chuankong, he did not show any weakness in the fight thanks to the chain of divine thoughts.
"Brother Luo, I can handle these Tian Kui Xuan generals, so there's no need to go through so much trouble, right?"
As he spoke, Han Li condensed another chain of divine thoughts, making the situation even more favorable.
“I believe that you can handle them, but the valuable things here are not only these four Tian Kui Xuan Jiangs, but also the five white stone pillars, which are also rare treasures.
If I am not mistaken, these five stone pillars have the ability to draw in the power of the stars. The Tiankui Talisman was previously affixed to them to receive the nourishment of the star power.
If the battle situation turns unfavorable, they will definitely use the power of the stars in these five stone pillars to resist stubbornly. Junior Brother will not only have to spend more time to fight them, but will also most likely damage these five stone pillars."
Luo Hong explained via telepathy.
"I see. Thank you very much, Senior Brother!"
Han Li was very receptive to the advice. He immediately understood that the White Armor Talisman Spirit was actually the Tiankui Talisman that had been nurtured by the power of the stars for many years and had advanced to a higher level.
Since he was planning to subdue these Tiankui Talismans, it would be best for him to also keep this warming formation intact.
As a result, Han Li immediately showed a little weakness in the following fight, and then pushed Shi Chuankong with one palm, making him fly towards the entrance of the stone hall.
“Brother Shi, you don’t have any means to deal with Tian Kui Xuan Jiang, leave here first!”
Shi Chuankong also knew that he would only be a burden if he stayed, so he quickly turned back to the previous passage.
As soon as his footsteps faded away, four golden lights flew out from the patterns on Han Li's robe and landed on the four Tiankui Xuan generals respectively.
After a few "ding ding" sounds, a layer of golden light emerged from the bodies of the four Tiankui Xuan generals, and they were all fixed in the air.
Han Li was overjoyed when he saw this, and with a pointed sword, he caused the four chains of divine thoughts to shoot into their bodies one by one.
After making a few quick gestures, he shouted "She"!
The four chains of divine thoughts were all retracted, and a white talisman was wrapped around the end of each of them.
Then, Han Li followed the same method and sealed the four Tiankui Talismans!
After finishing, Han Li came to the five stone pillars and observed them for a while before discovering that there was a short stick sealed in each of the stone pillars.
It is full of mysterious star restrictions, and it is obvious that they are the core of this magic circle.
So, Han Li then carefully took out the short sticks, and asked Luo Hong to help open the Flower Branch Cave Heaven and store them inside, only then did he feel completely relieved.
"Okay, Brother Shi, let's keep moving forward."
After the two set out again, they did not encounter any attacks and smoothly arrived at the end of the passage, in front of a black staircase with hundreds of steps.
The stairs extended downwards, and at the end was an exit emitting white light. Behind it, one could vaguely see a huge empty hall.
More importantly, there were also bursts of fighting and shouting.
"Brother Shi, there is a fight going on ahead. I will go and see what's going on. Please don't move around."
After saying that, Han Li performed the Ten Thousand Apertures Emptiness Technique, restrained his breath, and walked down the stairs.
Soon, he saw clearly the people fighting. They were the four people who had entered the altar before them, and they were all his acquaintances.
