Chapter 956

Han Li was hesitant about Edgar's suggestion. He seemed to be weighing the pros and cons, hesitating whether he should go or not. Suddenly, Shi Chuankong's voice rang in his ears.

"Fellow Daoist Li, our teleportation seals are fake, so we can no longer return to the Holy Region. If there's any place in the Jilin Void Realm that we can return to, I'm afraid it's the depths of the Great Ruins."

Han Li's frown deepened when he heard this.

"What's wrong, Fellow Daoist Li? Do you have any concerns?

Speak your mind. "Edgar asked with a kind expression.

"To tell you the truth, there's a black tribulation bug in my body that has always been a hidden threat.

I don't know what will happen in the Great Ruins, so I'm worried that the bug will suddenly act up.

It's fine if it only injures me, but if it messes up the plans of our Xuan City, I won't be able to escape death … "Han Li said as he cupped his fists.

"Black tribulation bugs? Isn't that Daoist Liu Hua's method? This is …" Edgar turned to look at Madam Liu Hua in confusion.

Madam Liu Hua frowned and said, "It's a long story … Forget it, I'll help him get rid of the bug first."

With that said, he led Han Li out of the hall and out of the main hall.

Madam Liu Hua's expression suddenly sank as she said, "You're really slippery brat. You're actually threatening me to get rid of the black tribulation bug at this juncture?"

Han Li hurriedly explained, "Please don't misunderstand, Senior. I only dared to bring this up because Fellow Daoist Gu said that you were planning to get rid of the black tribulation bug for me after this matter is over. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to speak so rashly."

Madam Liu Hua frowned and said, "Why did this girl tell you everything? Isn't she siding with an outsider?"

Han Li's expression remained unchanged as he took the initiative to ask, "Senior, did you meet Fellow Daoist Gu after entering the Great Ruins?"

The worry in Madam Liu Hua's eyes deepened as she asked, "No … The situation was chaotic at the time, so I only wanted her to follow me closely. But in the end … So you didn't meet that girl either?"

"Don't worry, Senior. Fellow Daoist Bone is blessed by the heavens. She'll definitely be fine." Han Li didn't give a direct answer and only comforted him.

"At least you have some conscience to worry about her safety … Otherwise, even if it was City Master E's order, I might not have been willing to help you get rid of it.

Alright, let's begin … "Madam Liu Hua sighed and said.

Han Li smiled bitterly in his heart, but he could only nod and walk forward.

After a short while, Han Li and Madame Liuhua returned to the main hall together. The Black Tribulation Bugs that had troubled him for a long time had finally been resolved.

"Now that Daoist Li's pests are gone, can we set off?" E Du smiled.

"Thank you, City Lord E and Senior Six Flowers. I'm willing to follow you," Han Li said as he cupped his fists and bowed.

"Alright!

Let's go. "

Eco waved his hand and gave the order. Everyone who had already gathered headed out of the hall.

After walking for a short distance, the entire hall suddenly began to rumble and shake. Cracks appeared on the walls and continued to expand. Countless pieces of rubble rustled and fell down.

"Oh no, this place is going to collapse. Let's leave!" Sun Tu's expression changed slightly and he cried out involuntarily.

Seeing this, everyone else's expression changed and became slightly flustered.

Han Li didn't panic. His eyes flashed as he recalled the scene where he took the blood-red key.

At this moment, he glanced at Chen Yang out of the corner of his eye. Chen Yang's expression was calm and he wasn't surprised by the drastic changes in his surroundings.

"Don't panic," E Du said lightly.

His voice wasn't loud, but it had a calming effect. Everyone immediately quieted down.

"It's just a falling rock. What's there to make a fuss about?" E Du chuckled and waved his sleeve.

A ray of white light shot out from his sleeve and soared into the sky.

As soon as the white light left Er Li's sleeve, it immediately became brighter and brighter, turning into a thick white beam of light that was hundreds of feet long. Inside the beam of light were flashing with scorching electric arcs, making a terrifying sizzling sound as it soared into the sky.

Rumble!

The roof of the hall instantly collapsed in the white light. The ground above it also melted under the impact of the white light. The entire hall shook even more violently.

In the blink of an eye, the white light disappeared into the sky and a huge charred hole appeared above everyone's head. It went straight to the ground and they could clearly see the thick yellow clouds in the sky.

Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded. They looked at E Du with respect and fear.

A trace of shock flashed in Han Li's eyes as he turned to look at Chen Yang.

The electric arcs in the white pillar of light were the same as the white electric aura in the earthy yellow short spear that Chen Yang had used. It should be the same kind of attack.

Chen Yang looked at the charred hole above his head absentmindedly. His face was slightly pale.

However, everything around him was still collapsing in the violent shaking. There were countless cracks on the hole and it looked like it was going to collapse.

E Du's figure flashed and he shot out of the hole.

The others hurriedly followed. Although they didn't have the ability to travel in the void like Han Li, it was still easy for them to climb a hole. In the blink of an eye, they all arrived on the ground.

The entire sacrificial altar shook violently and soon collapsed completely, sinking into the ground.

An incomparably huge and deep hole appeared in the city. It was dark and bottomless, like a terrifying mouth.

Everyone stood beside the huge hole and stared blankly at everything in front of them.

Han Li's gaze quickly moved away from the huge black hole and looked around. A trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

The sacrificial altar in the ruins had collapsed and countless puppets had appeared. Would it be the same here?

At this moment, there were many people who had entered the Great Ruins from Xuan City. However, in front of the countless puppets, they were still too weak.

Shi Chuankong also revealed a trace of worry and exchanged a glance with Han Li.

"Alright.

Let's go to the depths of the Great Ruins, "E Du said indifferently and turned to walk forward. The others hurriedly followed.

They didn't walk far before the ground started to tremble again.

Han Li's gaze flickered and he revealed a bitter smile.

"What's going on?

Another earthquake? "Everyone's expression changed again.

As the ground nearby trembled, puppets emerged one after another. There were many of them, and it was the same situation as in the ruins.

These puppets were all crimson in color and humanoid. They were similar to the crimson puppets that Han Li and the others had fought fiercely before. They were all holding crimson swords in their hands that had a flame-like glow on them.

As soon as the crimson puppets emerged from the ground, they immediately pounced at everyone.

"So many puppets!

How could this be? "Everyone's expression changed and they couldn't help but stand back to back in a circle.

Although there were many puppets, everyone present was an elite. Even though they were surprised, they weren't really afraid. They each took out their weapons and fought with these puppets.

Han Li waved his curved knife and exchanged blows with several crimson puppets. After killing two of them, his expression slightly darkened.

These crimson puppets also had five viscera and six bowels, and there was a silver liquid flowing in their bodies. Just like the puppets in the sacrificial altar, they were extremely strong and their movements were even faster. They were much more powerful than the puppets with wolf heads and tiger heads in the ruins.

Han Li was secretly worried. These puppets were so powerful and there were so many of them. If they wanted to leave this place smoothly, it would probably be much more difficult than before.

However, he couldn't help but be startled when he saw the calm expressions of Eche, Madam Liu Hua, and the others. They seemed to have a card up their sleeves.

After exchanging blows with these crimson puppets, everyone's expression also changed.

"Don't worry, everyone. It's just a few puppets. There's nothing to fear, Daoist Liu Hua," Eche said indifferently.

Madam Liu Hua nodded and touched her waist. A gray light flashed in her palm, and a gray incense burner appeared.

Han Li raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this.

This incense burner also seemed to be a Star Artifact. Specks of starlight flickered on its surface. Madam Liu Hua chanted an incantation, and a large amount of gray smoke immediately surged out of the incense burner. It quickly spread out and covered a radius of three kilometers in just a few breaths.

The crimson puppets in the vicinity were enveloped by the gray smoke. Their movements immediately became sluggish, and their attacks became weak and powerless. However, Han Li and the others weren't affected by the gray smoke in the slightest.

Han Li's divine sense swept over the puppets in the gray smoke. After carefully examining them, his eyes suddenly flashed.

The silver liquid inside the puppet's body had turned silver-gray at this moment. Moreover, it had become much more viscous. It seemed to have become gelatinous, and its flow had become several times slower than before.

"So that's how it is …" Han Li seemed to have understood something and slowly nodded.

Everyone was overjoyed when they saw this. They hastily sent all the puppets besieging them flying or directly destroyed them, clearing out an empty space.

The puppets outside seemed to be extremely afraid of the gray smoke. For a moment, they didn't dare to approach it. They surrounded the gray smoke and roared like wild beasts.

Sun Tu and Chen Yang exchanged glances and said with a chuckle, "City Lord E and Fellow Liu Hua are extremely skilled. I'm really impressed. What is this gray smoke? Why are these puppets so afraid of it?"

"It's just a small trick to deal with these puppets. How can it be considered amazing?

Let's go. "E smiled faintly and led the way.

The others followed suit. The gray smoke seemed to have a mind of its own as it followed the crowd forward. It maintained a radius of nearly three kilometers, neither dispersing nor shrinking back.

With the gray smoke protecting them, the crimson puppets in front of them didn't pose much of a threat. The crowd quickly exited the city and left the oasis not long after.

The puppets' range of activity was limited to the oasis. After leaving the oasis, the puppets didn't follow them anymore. The people of Mysterious City heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, even with the gray smoke protecting them, they were still surrounded by tens of thousands of puppets, which made them tremble in fear.

E seemed to know where the forbidden ground was. After leaving the oasis, he brought the people of Mysterious City along the crimson river and continued downstream.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed. The people of Mysterious City finally walked out of the crimson desert.

The ground in front of them turned from red to black, and the air suddenly became moist. Rain started to fall from the sky, and the power of the stars in the air became denser. Countless tall and short plants grew on the ground, forming a lush rainforest.

The environment in Great Ruins was strange. Even though there was a rainforest in front of them, no one was surprised.

However, there was a faint black fog floating in the rainforest, covering everything in a thin layer of fog. It gave the place a mysterious feeling.
