"By the way, although this talisman is mysterious, it has a time limit. It can only last for one hour. We must explore this place once during this time," Shi Chuankong said. Then, he opened his mouth and swallowed the Mustard Seed Escape Talisman.
The black and white radiance on his body rippled, and he slowly merged with the surrounding void, disappearing without a trace.
Seeing this, Han Li and Hu San also opened their mouths and swallowed the Mustard Seed Heavenly Evasion Talisman.
The black and white radiance on their bodies flashed, and their bodies quickly disappeared into the void.
The three of them used the same talisman, and there was a subtle connection between them, so they wouldn't be unable to see their companions.
"Let's go!
These two turrets and the hall in the middle might hide the core formation of the spatial restriction. Let's search everywhere. "
Shi Chuankong waved his hand, and the three of them flew out, quietly landing in front of the turret on the left above the city gate.
There were many armored slaves standing near the turret, but their cultivations were very weak, so they naturally couldn't discover Han Li and the others.
The three of them flew into the turret and quickly searched everywhere.
The space inside the turret wasn't big, so the three of them quickly searched everywhere.
There were a few living rooms inside, and they were currently empty. But judging from the items left behind, they should be the living quarters of the guard leaders of the city gate, and they didn't find the aura of the restriction core.
Han Li and the others quickly flew out.
"I'm afraid the other turret is the same. Let's not waste time and go to that hall," Shi Chuankong said.
Han Li and Hu San had the same opinion, and the three of them swayed and landed in front of the black hall.
Han Li looked at the hall in front of him, and his pupils slightly shrank.
The hall was dim, and it was like a terrifying demon's mouth that wanted to devour everything that entered it.
He raised his eyebrows, and immediately realized that this was a mental illusion caused by the pressure of the Netherworld Realm's Grand Luo inside the hall. After taking a deep breath, he immediately threw away this strand of distracting thoughts in his heart.
"Let's go."
Shi Chuankong seemed to have experienced a brief moment of absent-mindedness, and at this moment, he also came back to his senses. After saying this, he flew into the hall first.
Han Li and Fox Three followed closely behind him and flew into the palace.
The interior of the palace was a cylindrical hall. It was extremely large, with a diameter of four to five hundred feet and a height of four to five feet. The walls and floor were pitch-black, and there were a few black crystals the size of a human head inlaid on the walls, flashing with a faint black light. It looked very strange.
There were three passageways in the depths of the hall. Two of them led to the side halls on the left and right, while the last one led upwards, seemingly to the second floor.
Shi Chuankong made a gesture, and the three of them did not immediately go up to the second floor. Instead, they split up to investigate the two side halls.
However, the three of them quickly returned to the passageway leading to the second floor.
The two side halls were both warehouses, and inside were piles of armors, weapons, and other items. Clearly, they were not the targets they were looking for.
"Looks like it should be above. The senses of Golden Immortal Realm existences far exceed our expectations. You must be careful." Shi Chuankong's voice was solemn as he spoke via voice transmission.
Han Li and Fox Three nodded solemnly.
The three of them slowly strode upwards, and soon arrived at the hall of the second floor.
The situation of the hall of the second floor was similar to that of the first floor. It was also a circular room, but there were several thick stone pillars. Each of these pillars had a demonic dragon carved on them, roaring at the sky.
There were also three passageways in the depths of the hall. Two of them led to the side halls on the left and right, while the last one led to the third floor.
"Spatial fluctuations!
It's here! "As soon as they stepped onto the second floor, Shi Chuankong looked towards the side hall on the left, and his eyes lit up.
Han Li and Fox Three also looked in that direction, and their faces lit up with joy.
However, right at this moment, a white shadow suddenly flew out from the passageway of the third floor. It was a small furry white beast.
This beast was only a foot long, and its whole body was covered with soft white fur. It looked like a leopard cat, but its eyes were extremely large, and they almost occupied half of its face. It looked very strange.
The small white beast opened its mouth slightly and let out a 'gu gu' sound. It flew around the hall of the second floor, and it seemed to be playing by itself.
Han Li and the others were startled by the sudden appearance of this small white beast. However, when they saw it flying around and playing, their expressions relaxed.
"It's alright, don't worry about it …" Shi Chuankong said through voice transmission. He was about to walk towards the side hall on the left.
However, right at this moment, the small white beast that was playing suddenly stopped, and its two eyes looked towards Han Li and the others. A white ripple shot out from its eyes, and enveloped the three of them.
"Not good, quickly retreat!" Shi Chuankong's complexion changed, and he grabbed Fox Three, who was beside him, and shot towards the passageway of the second floor.
Han Li's movements were even faster than Shi Chuankong's, and he immediately retreated the moment the small white beast looked at him.
Fortunately, the three of them were standing at the side of the passageway, and they instantly flew into it.
However, the white ripple didn't stop there. It immediately chased after them, and continued to envelop the three of them.
The three of them didn't dare to use their celestial spiritual energy, so their speed was limited. They were about to be overtaken by the white ripple.
Shi Chuankong became anxious when he saw this, and he fiercely clenched his teeth. He grabbed Han Li's body with his other hand, and he quickly chanted an incantation.
Rumble!
A cold and gloomy power of law gushed out of his body, and poured into the bodies of Han Li and Fox Three. It then submerged into the Mustard Seed Escaping Talisman in their bodies.
"Mustard Seed Sumeru, Heaven Escaping Spirit Attachment!"
The Mustard Seed Escaping Talisman in their bodies suddenly shook, and shattered into pieces. It transformed into a strange power, and started to roam around the three of them.
Han Li and the others' bodies suddenly submerged into the wall of the passageway, and disappeared without a trace.
Just as the three of them submerged into the wall, the white ripple shot out like lightning, and filled the entire passageway, as well as the walls beside it. However, nothing happened.
The small white beast shook its head, and a trace of doubt flashed through its two big eyes.
"Yun Tuan, what's wrong?" A figure walked out of the passageway of the third floor. It was a tall and thin middle-aged man.
This man had a pair of slender eyes, and his skin was deathly pale, without a trace of blood. He looked like a corpse that had just been fished out of the water, and he looked quite horrifying.
Just at this moment, a black figure flew out of the passageway of the first floor. It was a black-robed Spirit Slave.
This person's black robe exuded a black Qi, and it shrouded his body, making his figure somewhat faintly discernible, and he looked like a ghost.
This person's black robes gave off waves of black Qi that enveloped his body, causing his figure to be faintly discernible. He looked like a ghostly figure.
When the lanky middle-aged man saw the black Spirit Slave, his eyes flashed with a trace of understanding.
The tall and thin middle-aged man saw the black-robed Spirit Slave, and a trace of understanding flashed through his eyes.
Seeing the scene before him, the newcomer was slightly stunned. He immediately knelt on the ground and took out a black Communication Talisman, offering it with both hands, and said respectfully.
The white beast tilted its head, and looked at the black-robed Spirit Slave. The white ripple in its eyes flashed, and it turned into a white shadow, and scuttled into Gui Mu's bosom.
Gui Mu held the small white beast in his bosom, and he stroked its soft fur with one hand, and took the Communication Talisman with the other, and his Divine Sense submerged into it.
A strange look flashed through his eyes, and he crushed the Communication Talisman.
"Tell the Domain Lord that I got it. The Puppet Fort has already made arrangements," Gui Mu said, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant to hear.
The black-robed Spirit Slave responded, and it immediately turned into a shadow, and flew downwards, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Gui Mu held the small white beast and paced back and forth in the hall, as if he was thinking about something, but he quickly returned to the third floor.
After his figure disappeared for a while, Han Li and the other two flew out of the wall of the passageway.
The three of them did not ascend to the second floor again, but quietly retreated to the first floor, and hid in a side hall.
After arriving here, Han Li and the other two heaved a sigh of relief.
"That was close. What kind of strange beast was that white raccoon? It could actually sense us, and we were almost discovered," Hu San said with lingering fear.
"It should be a strange beast from the Dust World. We were still a bit careless," Han Li said, and took out a pill and swallowed it.
"The power of a Great Luo Realm existence is really not something we can imagine. Even a small beast is so powerful," Shi Chuang Kong sighed and said.
The three of them had a serious expression. They originally thought that it would not be too difficult to find the core of the Space Restriction with the help of the Mustard Seed Escaping Talisman, but they were almost discovered before they could even see the core.
"Fellow Shi, what happened to the Mustard Seed Escaping Talisman in our bodies? It seems to have broken?" Han Li suddenly asked.
"The situation was urgent just now, so I completely activated the Mustard Seed Escaping Talisman's power, and used the Mustard Seed Spirit Adhesion Technique. However, this way, the original duration of the Mustard Seed Escaping Talisman will be halved. I estimate that the talisman will lose its effect in another quarter of an hour," Shi Chuang Kong said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Han Li frowned.
"We only have a quarter of an hour!
Then let's hurry up. The small white beast has already been taken away by Gui Mu. Should we go and try again? "Hu San said anxiously.
The difficulty of sneaking into this place was far beyond their expectations. If they lost the Mustard Seed Escaping Talisman, they would not be able to move an inch.
"No, it's too dangerous." Shi Chuang Kong immediately rejected this proposal.
"With that Gui Mu there, it will indeed be dangerous for us to go up. It seems that we can only lure him away," Han Li said in a slow voice.
"Lure him away?
What good idea did Fellow Daoist Li come up with? "Shi Chuang Kong asked with a happy expression.
Hearing this, Hu San also looked at him.
"The idea is actually very simple. On the way here, we passed by a black fortress. It's actually the Nine Nether Race's puppet refinement ground. Moreover, there are some unspeakable secrets in there.
As long as we find a way to cause a commotion inside, that Gui Mu will most likely rush over there. So, it will be much easier for us as long as he leaves this place, "Han Li said in a deep voice.
"You've scouted the fortress before?
It's actually a puppet refinement ground inside. Tsk tsk, I really want to see what's inside. "Hu San looked at Han Li in surprise and clicked his tongue.
"Your plan is feasible. But, we're quite far from that area. Time is of the essence. I'm afraid that we won't be able to rush over there in time," Shi Chuang Kong said with a pensive look on his face.
"It's better to let Fellow Daoist Magic Light and Fellow Daoist Baili Yan go there. They're quite close to that place. So, they can use your Small Teleportation Roulette to come here after the matter is over," Han Li shook his head and said.
