Yin Xu's pupils shrank slightly, and he waved his hand.
A spot of black light flashed in front of him, and it grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a black round mirror. It spun non-stop, and a strange black glow shot out from it, sweeping through the surroundings.
Wherever the black light swept, phantoms suddenly appeared in the void, walking back and forth, or flying past, looking like people who had passed by in the past.
Some of these figures were obvious, while others were extremely blurry.
Among these figures, the figures of Han Li and the others were extremely clear, flying rapidly toward a small path.
"Chase!" Yin Xu and Ghost Tree immediately flew in that direction.
…
In the depths of the black palace, Han Li and the others were advancing rapidly.
The scenery on both sides quickly retreated, and it turned out to be an endless stretch of palace walls, pavilions, and terraces, looking very much like an imperial city.
They didn't dare to fly in the sky, and only flew close to the ground, moving forward between these buildings.
As they went deeper, the surrounding light became dimmer, and there were faint traces of black mist lingering in the void. Everything beyond 300 to 400 feet was blurry, and their Divine Sense couldn't be too far away from their bodies.
At this time, with the eyesight of Hu San and the others, they could barely see more than 300 feet.
Two purple lights shot out from Han Li's eyes, and he urged the Magic Eyes of the Nine Underworlds to look ahead. He could still see the road ahead, but he could only see about 300 feet.
In addition, there seemed to be some kind of indescribably huge spatial pressure in the void. With the cultivation of Han Li and the others, although they wouldn't be injured, their speed of moving forward was greatly reduced.
"What the hell is this place? Why do I feel a little strange?
Did Fellow Daoist Weeping Soul find anything? "Hu San couldn't help but ask as they flew.
"No, this is also my first time here," Weeping Soul said, shaking its head.
"Since fierce fighting is prohibited here, it's very advantageous for us. Why don't we fight with the pursuers here?" Hu San said again.
"No, although there is such a rule here, once we fight to the death, the other party's Grand Celestial Realm cultivators may not abide by it. The risk is too great, and we can't bet our hopes on them.
Even if we fight, we have to find a place that is absolutely advantageous to us, "Shi Chuankong immediately shook his head and rejected.
"That's true," Hu San nodded.
"Eh?"
As Han Li continued onward, he suddenly let loose a cry of surprise as he surveyed his surroundings.
"Fellow Daoist Li, did you discover something?" Shi Chuankong looked over.
"No, I just feel that the layout of the palace is a little mysterious. It's like some kind of formation. The pressure in the space might be related to it …" Han Li said thoughtfully.
The layout of the surrounding palaces, pavilions, and other buildings seemed ordinary, but there was a certain pattern to them. Moreover, these buildings were all engraved with many restrictive runes, and there was an inexplicable connection between them.
"That seems to be the case.
Looks like this place is indeed an important forbidden ground. However, there is no one guarding it. How strange, "Bai Liyan said, nodding.
"Not good, Ghost Tree and the others have caught up, and they're very fast!" The Weeping Soul's expression suddenly changed, and it said.
The others were startled to hear this, but they didn't ask the Weeping Soul Beast how it had sensed what was going on behind them.
However, their cultivations were far inferior to Gui Mu's. Coupled with the space pressure in the void, even though they tried their best, the distance between them was still shrinking.
"There is a passageway leading underground up ahead. There is a peculiar aura inside. Should we go in?" Han Li suddenly asked as he looked ahead.
"Let's go in and gamble!" Shi Chuankong gritted his teeth and said.
"Is there anything more troublesome than the two guys chasing after us?" Fox Three grinned.
"Not bad.
Since we've already come this far, let's go in and take a look. Right now, we can only place ourselves in a hopeless situation. Only then will we have a chance at survival. "Bai Liyan also made up his mind.
The Weeping Soul Beast had always followed Han Li's lead, so it naturally had no objections.
"Follow me." Han Li turned slightly and flew to the left.
The others immediately followed, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the side of a huge rockery that was hundreds of feet tall. There was a cave entrance at the bottom of the rockery.
The entrance of the cave was quite large, about thirty to forty feet high. The rocks on both sides of the cave were pale white, faintly emitting a faint glimmer, causing the light inside to be quite bright.
As the white glimmer flickered, it was quite beautiful.
There was a long passageway inside the cave, and it seemed to lead underground. A warm stream of air blew out from inside. The air was slightly pungent, and it seemed to be the smell of sulfur and magma.
The few of them did not hesitate, and immediately flew into the depths of the cave.
Just as Han Li and the others disappeared into the underground passageway, figures blurred outside the cave entrance, and Ghost Tree and Yin Xu's figures appeared.
"Damn it, they actually escaped inside. Could it be that these people know the secret of this place?
That's impossible. The only people who know about this are the Domain Lord and us Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm. You Luo doesn't know about this either! "Ghost Tree said with an ugly expression.
"Don't talk nonsense. Go in and catch them immediately." Yin Xu snorted impatiently, and his figure flew into the cave entrance.
Ghost Tree's expression turned cold, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, the white civet cat in his arms raised its head to look at its master, and let out a soft cry.
Ghost Tree stroked the civet cat's head, and took a deep breath. His expression had already recovered, and his figure also flew in.
Han Li and the others followed the passageway with all their might. There was only one passageway, and it was rarely curved. Moreover, the light in the cave became brighter the deeper they went, and the few of them moved forward rather smoothly.
However, there was not the slightest hint of joy on their faces. Such a straight path was more suitable for the pursuers behind them.
The expressions of the few of them suddenly changed, and their flying figures stopped.
The passageway in front of them suddenly widened, and a huge square space appeared. It looked very much like a huge hall, and it had a circumference of 30 to 40 feet.
However, this was the end of the passageway. There was only a huge stone door on the innermost wall of the huge hall, and the spatial pressure in the void had also reached a rather shocking level.
The surface of the stone door was engraved with numerous runic patterns, and it was emitting several different colored rays of light. Each ray of light emitted a powerful aura, and it was obvious that they were extremely powerful restrictive spells. Among these rays of light, there was a silver one that was the most dazzling, and it formed a silver light screen that covered the stone door.
The silver light rippled like water on the surface of the light screen, and it flickered up and down in a magnificent manner.
The other walls of the huge hall were also engraved with similar array patterns, and they connected with the restrictive spell on the stone door to form some kind of special restrictive spell.
Everyone looked around, and as if they had thought of something, their expressions became extremely unsightly.
Hu San clenched his teeth, and waved his hand. A dazzling white light shot out, and it turned out to be a foot-long, snow-white, and cone-shaped immortal tool.
Judging from the aura it was emitting, it was at least a Seventh Stage Immortal Tool.
The white cone was entwined with arcs of white lightning, and it emitted bursts of thunder and lightning. It instantly transformed into a vague white phantom, and fiercely pierced towards the stone door.
In the instant before it came into contact with the door, Hu San made an incantation gesture and softly shouted, "Quick!"
Just as his voice fell, a deafening explosion of thunder resounded.
Immediately thereafter, a dazzling white sun emerged before abruptly exploding, and countless dazzling white arcs of lightning shot forth in all directions, inundating the stone gate, making it impossible for anyone to see what was going on inside for the time being.
Han Li's eyes flashed with purple light, and he frowned.
The dazzling white sun quickly disappeared, and the situation inside was soon revealed.
The white cone had pierced the stone door, and the several restrictions on the door flickered with light, but not even the slightest mark was left on the door.
Everyone's expression changed again when they saw this.
The power of the white cone was obvious for all to see, but it was unexpectedly unable to leave even a mark on the stone door.
Han Li bitterly smiled, and said, "I'm very sorry for bringing everyone to this place. It seems we're in big trouble."
"There's no need to blame yourself, Fellow Daoist Li. We all made the decision to enter this place together, so we naturally have to bear the consequences together.
Also, continuing to flee might not be a good thing. Since we've been caught, there's nothing we can do about it. Let's give it our all. "Hu San waved his hand, and the white cone revolved above his head. He faintly smiled, and turned around to look back.
Bai Liyan laughed and said, "That's right. Those people don't dare to fight here, but we don't have to worry about that. We may not necessarily lose."
A sharp light flashed through Han Li's eyes, and he also turned around to look in the direction they came from, and a faint golden light appeared on his body.
The Weeping Soul Beast glanced at Han Li, and stood at his side.
Shi Chuankong didn't follow Han Li and the others into battle. Instead, he flew in front of the stone door, and formed an incantation gesture.
Silver light flashed in front of him, and an ancient silver mirror appeared in front of him. With a flash of light, it spat out a ray of silver light, which shined on the stone door.
The restrictions on the stone door immediately fluctuated, and the silver light screen began to tremble.
Bai Liyan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Fellow Daoist Shi, could it be that you can break these restrictions?"
Shi Chuankong shook his head, and said in a noncommittal manner, "The restrictions here are very profound. I don't dare to say that I can break them. I'll need some time to carefully study them."
Hu San laughed, and said, "That's good. Brother Shi, you can study them at ease. We'll deal with the pursuers, and we'll try to buy as much time as possible for you."
Shi Chuankong nodded, and no longer paid attention to the others. He focused on studying the restrictions on the stone door.
Han Li turned his head to look at Shi Chuankong, but he quickly withdrew his gaze, and looked toward the passage ahead.
"They're here!" the Weeping Soul Beast said in a soft voice.
The figures in the passage ahead blurred, and Ghost Tree and Yin Xu's figures appeared.
Yin Xu swept his gaze around the hall, and his expression loosened as he coldly said, "A few rats. They're quite fast at escaping!"
"They're tactful..." Ghost Tree sneered, and was about to say something.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion resounded. It was the white cone on top of Hu San's head. White lightning curled around its surface, and it shot toward Ghost Tree.
"If you want to fight, then fight. Why bother with this nonsense?"
