Chapter 654

Han Li's group of four walked for a few more kilometers before finally stopping in front of an arched cave.

Han Li's group of three turned to look at Fox Three.

"This is the small teleportation formation that leads to the Sixth Layer City that I told you about before. There are quite a few of them in the city.

Come with me. "

Fox Three said and took the lead to step through the door, followed by Han Li's group of three.

As soon as they entered, Han Li saw that there was a small teleportation formation that was several hundred meters in radius not far in front of them.

There was a table beside the formation, and behind it sat a green-skinned foreign being that resembled a lizard. He was currently sleeping soundly and had no intention of paying any attention to Han Li's group.

When Fox Three saw this, he walked over and woke the green-skinned foreign being up. After casually tossing a bag of top-grade spirit stones onto the table, he led Han Li's group into the teleportation formation.

The green-skinned foreign being weighed the bag in his hand. When he saw that Han Li's group was so generous that they even gave him a tip on top of the teleportation formation fee, he immediately activated the formation and prepared to send them to the Sixth Layer City. At the same time, he also didn't forget to salute Fox Three.

Fox Three nodded at the other party with a smile on his face. It seemed as if he was enjoying this gesture very much.

When the teleportation formation flashed, the figures of Han Li's group of four blurred and disappeared.

When the green-skinned foreign being saw the top-grade spirit stones on the table, the smile on his face became even wider. Just as he was about to count them and put them into his storage ring, his expression suddenly froze.

He looked down at his empty fingers and immediately flew into a rage.

At a teleportation hall in the Sixth Layer City, Fox Three lightly tossed a dark green ring in his hand and slowly walked out.

Shi Chuankong saw this and shook his head, helplessly saying, "If you don't change your itchy hands, you'll get into trouble sooner or later."

Han Li smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Hu San's Miraculous Emptiness Technique is quite exquisite. It was able to completely sever that person's connection to his storage ring in the blink of an eye."

Hot Flame Immortal Supremacy didn't say anything. He subconsciously checked his storage bracelet and heaved a sigh of relief.

"I've been following the rules for too long, so I'm feeling a bit itchy. Haha … don't worry about it, don't worry about it …" Fox Three said with a smile as he waved his hand.

Upon reaching the sixth-tier city, the number of people on the walkway became noticeably denser. Most of them appeared to be humans, but there were clearly more foreign races of all shapes and sizes.

The number of shops on the mountain wall had clearly become denser. All kinds of banners were hung high up in the air, protruding from the corridors. Most of them were shops that sold spirit soil and spirit herbs. Of course, there was no lack of shops that sold immortal treasures and pills. They looked no different from ordinary shops.

After that, they went to several other cities. The situation inside was more or less the same. However, it was clear that the higher they went, the more merchants there were, and the more chaotic the surroundings became.

However, Hu San seemed to like this kind of noisy environment very much. The higher they went, the slower they strolled. On the way, they even went to an immortal wine shop and bought some famous spirit wine and immortal wine. Then, he took Han Li and the others to eat and drink to their heart's content.

He had heard that Han Li liked wine, so he wanted to give Han Li a few pots. However, because Han Li had hung out with Daoist Hu Yan for too long, he had a very high standard for spirit wine and immortal wine. He didn't like the spirit wine here at all, so he politely refused.

By the time they reached the surface, half a day had already passed.

It was evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone from the west, illuminating the city on the surface with a warm red color.

As far as Han Li could see, he could see a series of gargantuan battlements standing on the outskirts of the city, with mountainous immortal ferries hovering beside most of them.

Hu San pointed in a direction and said, "Fellow Daoist Hot Fire, Fellow Daoist Li, the approximate location of the Truth Sect's ruins is in the Illusory Smoke Swamp of the Floating Hill Continent in the central part of the Black Earth Immortal Domain. It will take about 30 years to get there by ferry. However, there aren't many places that can use the teleportation array. Most of the time, we still have to rely on the ferry."

"Why do we need to take the ferry?

Although these ferries are huge and can fly steadily, their speed is not as fast as us flying on our own immortal treasures, right? "Han Li was a little puzzled.

"Fellow Daoist Li is right, but there are some special rules in the Black Earth Immortal Domain. Some areas can't be flown over casually, and some areas are directly set up with restrictions. If we force our way through, we will most likely be targeted by the immortal palace," Hu San said.

"I didn't expect there to be so many broken rules in the Black Earth Immortal Domain." Venerable Hot Fire curled his lips.

"That's right.

On one hand, it's because there are a lot of spiritual fields and mineral veins along the way to the south. Most of them are owned by large merchant associations, and outsiders are not allowed to enter at will.

On the other hand, it's because there are large areas of poison and swamps between the continents of the Black Earth Immortal Domain. Some of these places are still forbidden areas like the Savage World. There are many terrifying demon beasts, and there are even Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm existences among them, "Hu San said.

"These are the rules imposed by the Black Earth Immortal Palace to strengthen their control.

It's fine in some remote areas, but if it's near some large cities, then it'll be more troublesome. "Shi Chuankong continued the conversation and explained.

"Each merchant association's ferry has a fixed route, which has been reported to the immortal palace, so it won't be affected," Hu San added.

"Back when our Truth Sect was still around, the Black Earth Immortal Domain didn't have these bullsh * t rules …" Venerable Hot Fire sighed with some sadness.

"In that case, taking the ferry is indeed the safest way," Han Li said with a nod.

"Not necessarily. Although many merchant associations have reported and paid a huge amount of Immortal Meta Stones, some of the ferries along the way will still be inspected by the people of the immortal palace with various excuses. You either obediently accept the inspection and delay for a few months, or you have to pay another sum of Immortal Meta Stones to pay for the passage," Hu San said with a shake of his head.

"No wonder Fellow Daoist is not surprised by the previous incident in Floating Cloud City …" Han Li laughed involuntarily.

"Haha, but with Brother Shi here, we don't have to suffer from this.

Among the various ferries, only the Hundred Creations Pavilion and Vast Origin House's ferry won't be criticized by the people of the immortal palace.

In most cases, there won't even be a temporary inspection, "Hu San said with a smile.

"The ferry of Vast Origin House is a little further away, please follow me," Shi Chuankong said with a smile and took the lead to fly forward.

Han Li and the others followed closely behind him into the sky, all the way south.

After flying into the sky, Han Li looked down and discovered that there were far more ferries on the ground than he had seen before. They were neatly arranged in an area of several hundred kilometers.

There were also a number of markets and streets in between, and under the illumination of the evening lights, it looked very lively.

After a while, they arrived at a ferry that occupied a large area and entered a main hall.

When a grey-haired old man saw this, he immediately put down the teacup he was holding and stood up to greet them.

He seemed to be acquainted with Shi Chuankong and was just about to speak when Shi Chuankong spoke first.

"Shopkeeper Zhu, I haven't seen you in a long time. I've come to disturb you again."

"Fellow Daoist Shi is a rare guest. Your presence brings light to my humble ferry, so it's not a disturbance at all.

These are your friends, right?

Come, come, come … let's all sit inside. "The old man paused for a moment before returning to normal.

As he spoke, he led Han Li and the others into an elegant room in the hall. After pouring tea for everyone, he asked,

"Fellow Daoist Shi, you don't come to me for no reason. What brings you here today?"

"Shopkeeper Zhu knows me well. When is the next ferry to the Floating Hill Continent?" Shi Chuankong asked with a smile.

The grey-haired old man pondered for a moment before saying, "We've recently collected a batch of spirit soil. There's also a batch of Fire Kite Grass and Jade Ganoderma maturing in the medicine field. We can set off after loading the goods. It'll take about half a month."

"Heh, it seems like we came at the right time," Fox Three said as he swirled the teacup in his hand.

"Haha, you've come at the right time. There's going to be a battle in the Colosseum of Black Glaze City in a few days. Why don't you go take a look and kill some time?" Manager Zhu said with a smile.

Shi Chuankong's interest was piqued when he heard this. He sat up straight and said, "Is it the Black Pen Colosseum?

What are the odds? "

"Yes.

It's said that the ten battles this time will be fought with high-grade demon beasts captured from the desolate region in the north of the Black Mountain Immortal Domain. The two most powerful ones even have true spirit bloodlines, so the odds are quite high, "Manager Zhu said with a nod.

"How about it?

Are you interested in going to take a look in a few days? "Shi Chuankong turned to Han Li's group and asked.

Han Li chuckled inwardly. He felt that Fox Three was a drunkard and Shi Chuankong a gambler. What a pair. However, he wasn't interested in this matter, so he shook his head and refused.

"I'm willing to go if there's a chess battle, but forget about the beast battle," Hot Flame Immortal Sovereign said with a smile.

"What about you?

Don't tell me you're not going as well? "Shi Chuankong looked at Fox Three and asked.

"I'm going!

Why wouldn't I go?

Brother Shi, every bet you make is bound to lose. As long as I bet against you, I won't lose anything, "Fox Three raised his brows and said loudly.

"Bah, when have I ever lost …" Shi Chuankong rebuked.

After chatting for a while, Manager Zhu arranged a guest house for everyone and led them back to rest.

Night fell.

Han Li was meditating in his room when Hot Flame Immortal Sovereign suddenly knocked on his door.

After entering, Han Li invited him to sit down. He took out a tea set and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Hot Flame Immortal Sovereign. Then, he sat opposite him without saying a word.

Just as the atmosphere in the room became a little awkward, Hot Flame Immortal Sovereign finally said, "Fellow Daoist Li, I have something to say, but I don't know …"

Before he had a chance to finish his sentence, Han Li waved a hand through the air, creating an invisible barrier of light that isolated the entire room from the outside world.

"Fellow Daoist Hot Flame, please speak your mind," Han Li said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you've been waiting for me, right?" Hot Flame Immortal Sovereign said with a wry smile.
