Chapter 924

"Fellow Daoist Li, you don't know about the Great Ruins?

The Great Ruins is the most special area in the Scale Void Realm, and it's said to contain a large amount of hidden treasures.

It's said that Xuan Pin City and Xuan Pin City have been searching for it for countless years. I didn't think that it would actually appear today, "Gu Qianxun replied in a voice transmission.

As Han Li listened, he couldn't help but look at Shi Chuankong.

"The journey this time is long and full of unpredictable dangers. If any of you are undecided, you can withdraw now. Once you leave the city, you can't waver anymore, or you'll be treated as a traitor," Ge said as he swept his gaze across the crowd.

Almost all of the people below the stage were looking forward to the journey, and none of them withdrew.

"Very good. It looks like everyone here is a determined person. I'm sure you'll all reap great rewards on this trip.

Before we depart, I have one more thing to remind everyone. Although Puppet City has temporarily joined forces with us, it is absolutely necessary to remain vigilant. I hope everyone can unite and work together to obtain the artifact, "Edgar said in a clear voice.

"As the City Lord commands," everyone replied in unison.

About two hours later, the main gate of Xuan City slowly opened, and a group of a dozen or so Giant Scaled Beasts slowly passed through the gate and headed out of the city.

The Giant Scaled Beast at the front was over a thousand feet tall, with the head of a Youth and the body of a Giant Crocodile. On its back was a black stone palace that was carved with flowers and decorated with Star Bones. It looked quite magnificent, but it was none other than Ge's palace.

Following closely behind were a dozen or so Black-Scaled Elephants, each of them carrying a black stone palace on their back. However, their designs were simple and unadorned, and they couldn't compare to Ge's palace.

In the group, Chen Yang and Daoist Xie occupied a stone palace to themselves, while Han Li and the others shared another.

The area inside the stone hall was not small. The three of them each occupied a room, and they still had room to spare.

When the group left the city, Han Li wasn't in a hurry to return to the palace to rest. Instead, he stood on the back of the Black-Scaled Elephant and looked into the distance. However, he couldn't look too far ahead, as the massive Heavy Profound Mountain Range was right in front of him.

After about a quarter of an hour, the whole team climbed over a pass in the mountain range, and their line of sight finally widened.

Han Li looked down from above and couldn't help but let out a soft "eh?"

On the other side of the mountain range, there were a dozen or so Black-Scaled Elephants crouching. Each of them was covered in scales and had beast cores embedded in their chests. Two sharp spears protruded from the sides of their mouths. Their entire bodies looked lifeless and lifeless.

"They're all puppets …" Han Li muttered.

Just at this moment, a figure suddenly flew over from above, and actually stopped right in front of everyone.

Han Li's heart skipped a beat. He looked up and saw a handsome Youth wearing a set of black armor and carrying two short bone halberds on his back. He was standing on the void and hovering in the air.

It was common sense that a Scaled Scale Realm cultivator would be unable to fly in the air, but this person was able to stand in the air. This immediately caused a commotion in Xuan City. Many people came out of the stone palace to watch.

However, the few City Lords didn't make any movements.

Zhu Ziqing stood together with her brother and looked at the Youth with infatuation. She muttered softly, "What a handsome little brother …"

"What nonsense are you talking about? That's our Xuan City's enemy." Zhu Ziyuan frowned and gave her a knock on the head to remind her.

"I know …" Zhu Ziqing nodded. He didn't dare to continue joking and said seriously.

Han Li looked at the handsome Youth who had a gentle smile on his face. He couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.

He shifted his gaze up and looked at the clouds in the sky. Only then did he realize that the color of the clouds above the Youth's head was obviously darker. Something wasn't right.

At this moment, the handsome Youth suddenly said, "Fellow City Lords and Fellow Daoists of Xuan City, Lord Sha Xin asked me to inform you that in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts, our two teams will travel separately before we reach our destination."

His voice was in between that of a man and a woman. It was exceptionally pleasant to the ears.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Ziyuan said as if he had suddenly received an order, "Please go back and inform Lord Sha Xin that our Lord Ekko has the same intention."

Seeing this, the handsome Youth's gaze fell on Zhu Ziyuan. He smiled, cupped his fists, and turned to leave.

At this moment, Han Li saw a black shadow moving in the depths of the clouds. When it landed on the Puppet City's team, its true form was revealed. It was a giant Winged Scale Bird.

This bird also had a Beast Core embedded in its chest. Its entire body was filled with a deathly aura. It seemed to be a puppet as well. It was currently being controlled by the handsome Youth and was being carried through the air by some kind of thread that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

Not long after, a loud horn sounded from the Puppet City's team. The Scaled Beast puppets that were lying on the hillside stood up one by one and slowly moved forward.

There was a distance of several thousand feet between the two sides, and Xuan City's team also began to move along with the Puppet City's team.

The sky was high and the clouds were boundless, and the scenery on the ground was extremely bleak and desolate.

After looking around for a while, Han Li felt a little bored, so he returned to his room and began to meditate.

… …

Night.

Han Li awakened from his meditative state and exited his room before arriving outside the stone palace.

Under the clear moonlight, he leapt up from the back of the Black-Scaled Elephant and landed on the back of another Black-Scaled Elephant. In a few steps, he arrived in front of the stone temple on the back of the elephant.

Before he had a chance to say anything, Chen Yang's voice sounded from within the palace. "Fellow Daoist Li, I knew you were going to come. I've been waiting for you …"

When Han Li heard this, he directly pushed open the door of the stone hall and walked in.

As soon as he entered the palace, Han Li was greeted by the sight of Daoist Xie standing by the door with his hands clasped behind his back, and he immediately led Han Li to a room.

During this time, Daoist Xie remained expressionless, and he didn't interact with Han Li.

Han Li was already used to this. He pushed open the door and walked in.

"Please have a seat," Chen Yang said as he approached Han Li.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, today …" Han Li had only just begun to speak when Chen Yang waved a hand to interrupt him.

"Fellow Daoist Li, the current Fellow Daoist Shi Kong is most likely a completely different person than the one you know …" Chen Yang sighed.

"What's going on?" Han Li asked with furrowed brows.

"Well … Du Qingyang was very secretive about sending Fellow Daoist Shi Kong to Xuan City, and I only found out about it after a long time, so I don't know what happened.

This is the first time I've seen him in Xuan City, and he feels like … a puppet, "Chen Yang said in a hesitant manner.

Han Li's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.

"But it's a little different, and I can't really describe what it feels like.

In any case, it's not a wise move for you to approach him at a time like this, "Chen Yang added.

"If I really wanted to do something reckless, I wouldn't have come to you," Han Li said as his expression eased slightly.

His expression was calm, but his heart was filled with suspicion.

Prior to entering the Scale Space Realm, the Third Prince, Shi Pokong, had given each of them a jade amulet in the shape of a leaf. That was a mark that could pinpoint their location, and it was what they could rely on to escape from the Scale Space Realm.

He had encountered many perils in the past, but he hadn't used this jade amulet as he hadn't found the purple spirit yet, so he didn't want to waste all of his efforts. But why had Shi Pokong given it to him?

If he really had reached the point where he could be turned into a puppet, why hadn't he used this jade amulet?

Han Li didn't believe that he wouldn't even have the opportunity to use this jade amulet with his current strength.

"That's true, Fellow Li has always been thoughtful, so how could he be a reckless person?" Chen Yang smiled.

"It's not convenient for me to investigate, so I'll have to trouble Fellow Chen to take care of this matter," Han Li said after hearing Chen Yang's words.

"Rest assured, Fellow Li, I'll definitely pay attention to this matter. If I find out anything, I'll inform you," Chen Yang said solemnly.

"Many thanks," Han Li said as he cupped his fists.

"Don't stand on ceremony.

The road to the Great Ruins is long, and we don't know what kind of situation it will be in. Brother Li needs to rest well, so that he can plan ahead … "Chen Yang waved his hand and sighed.

After the two of them talked for a while, Han Li bid farewell and left.

After returning to his room, he sat quietly and pondered for a moment. Then, he put away all the distracting thoughts, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate the Heavenly Fiend Prison Suppression Technique.

…

Time flew by, and more than a month had passed.

Two squads of scaled beasts, one in front and one in the back, were slowly passing through a long and narrow mountain pass with a distance of three thousand feet between them.

The squads in front had yet to exit the mountain pass, and the squads in the back had just entered, when a heaven-shaking cry of a beast suddenly rang out in the sky. An incomparably huge two-headed scaled falcon flew across the sky.

Its body was huge, and the surface of its body was covered in dense black scales. When it spread its wings, it was like a dark cloud in the sky, casting a huge black shadow below, almost covering the entire mountain pass.

As it flew past, it suddenly flapped its wings, and two white streams of air that could be seen with the naked eye violently surged down, violently bombarding the mountain walls on both sides.

Two loud booms rang out, and the two sides of the mountain pass suddenly collapsed, causing billowing smoke and dust to fill the sky.

The scaled beasts in the back were startled, and retreated towards the outside of the mountain pass. However, the scaled beast puppets in front of them continued to advance towards the mountain pass at a moderate pace.

Han Li was sitting quietly in his room, cultivating. When he sensed the commotion, he rushed out, and just happened to see huge rocks tumbling down in front of him, quickly filling up the entire mountain pass.

The sky was filled with dust, and the sun was blotted out, making it difficult to see clearly.

The people of Xuan City rushed out one after another, and stood on the back of the Black-Scaled Elephant, looking ahead.

At this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out from the mountain pass in front of them, and a powerful force of stars rushed out from it, transforming into an arc of light wave, and fiercely rushed out from the mountain pass into the sky.

"Boom!" A loud sound rang out!

Large amounts of rocks and sand burst out, and rose into the sky like a volcanic eruption, turning into a shower of sand and stones, sprinkling in all directions.

A powerful stream of air also madly surged out from the mountain pass in the form of a spiral, and fiercely gushed out from the mountain pass. The originally blocked narrow and long mountain pass was also opened up again.
