Chapter 977

The speed of the eight spider legs was as fast as lightning, but the white silhouette was even faster. He stretched his hands left and right, and the eight spider legs somehow fell into his hands. Then, he forcefully snapped them.

"Kacha!" The eight spider legs were directly snapped.

The white silhouette waved his hand, and the eight spider legs turned into eight black shadows that shot back, and pierced Zhuo Ge's chest with lightning speed.

Zhuo Ge was sent flying backwards, but as he flew backwards, he flipped his body in the air. At the same time, he raised his hand, and a long white rope shot out from his sleeve. With a "thud", it pierced the roof.

He pulled the long rope with one hand, and his body soared into the sky. Then, he flew out of a big hole in the roof, and disappeared outside.

This series of movements was very vigorous, and there was no sign of injury.

"Hey!"

The white silhouette let out a soft cry of surprise, but didn't chase after him. Instead, his figure moved, and he flew down.

The blood-red wave of Qi below dissipated and weakened. Blackie's face was full of fear. He urged the silver leopard puppet, which had just stabilized its body, to run towards the big hole in the wall in the distance.

But at this moment, the silhouette on the silver leopard's head blurred, and the white silhouette appeared out of thin air like a ghost.

"Fellow Blackie, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

The white silhouette said. Then, a white light flickered on his body, and a majestic force revolved around him, causing the nearby void to fluctuate like the surface of water.

"Kacha!" A large crack appeared on the silver leopard puppet's head in an instant.

Blackie's figure moved, and he was about to jump down from the silver leopard puppet to escape. But, he changed his mind. His speed was far inferior to that of the white silhouette, and it was impossible for him to escape. So, he stopped.

"Smart. If you had dared to escape just now, you would've ended up like this puppet." The white silhouette lifted his foot.

A sharp force suddenly erupted from his foot, and pierced the silver leopard puppet's head.

"Bang!" A muffled sound was heard, and the silver leopard puppet's head was pierced through by this force. A big hole appeared on its head, and its huge body suddenly collapsed.

Blackie's body trembled, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He obediently stood there, and didn't dare to move.

"Bang!" A loud sound came from the side, and a large hole was blasted into the wall in the distance. Two figures flew out from the hole; they were Wu Yun and Black Two.

When the two of them saw the situation at the blood formation, they were greatly alarmed and immediately abandoned Zhu Ziyuan and Zhu Ziqing, turning around and fleeing.

The white figure glanced in that direction, but did not give chase.

Zhu Ziqing's face was filled with terror, and he was just about to turn and flee when Zhu Ziyuan grabbed him. The two of them communicated via voice transmission before walking over.

"Fellow Daoist Li, thank you for saving me today."

At this moment, Zhu Ziyuan's body was riddled with wounds, but he still stood straight and bowed to the white figure.

Zhu Ziqing also bowed and expressed his thanks.

The white light on the white figure quickly dissipated, revealing Han Li's figure.

"Those people from the Puppet City just left on their own. There's no need for the two of you to thank me." Han Li glanced at the two of them and said faintly.

He didn't have any ill will towards Zhu Ziyuan and Zhu Ziqing, but he was now mortal enemies with Ewe. Naturally, he didn't want these two to have anything to do with each other.

"No matter what, our lives were saved by Fellow Daoist Li today. I, Zhu Ziyuan, owe you a favor, and I will certainly repay you in the future. Please," Zhu Ziyuan said, turned around, and walked towards the large hole in the wall on the other side.

Zhu Ziqing looked at Han Li, and his lips slightly moved as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't. He turned around and chased after Zhu Ziyuan.

The two of them quickly jumped out of the large hole in the wall, and soon disappeared.

Blackie waited for Zhu Ziyuan and Zhu Ziqing to leave, and looked at Han Li's expression. His heart was perturbed, and he carefully asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, why did you ask me to stay?"

"You don't need to be afraid. I asked you to stay because I want to ask you a few questions. As long as your answers satisfy me, I won't take your life. Come with me." Han Li didn't answer Blackie's question, and turned around to walk into the distance.

Hearing this, Blackie's heart relaxed, and he immediately followed.

The two of them quickly came to the side of the Golden-Winged Owl puppet. Han Li looked at the puppet in front of him, and after a while, his eyes slowly brightened.

"If I'm not wrong, the Puppet City's control method is to condense the power of the soul to control the puppet, right?" Han Li turned his head to look at Blackie, and asked.

"Yes, that's right." Blackie hesitated slightly, and replied.

"Condensing the power of the soul into a shape requires a very strong soul. Everyone in the Puppet City controls the puppets, so you must have cultivated a powerful secret technique to strengthen the soul, right?

What's the name of this technique? "Han Li asked again.

"It's a secret technique that the Sand Heart City Lord taught us called the 'Puppet's Heart'," Blackie replied honestly.

"Tell me this secret technique." Han Li raised his eyebrows, and said coldly.

Now that he had shed all pretense of cordiality with the Puppet City, and because of the black-dressed woman, there might be a big battle in the future.

Regarding the Puppet City's methods, he had a general understanding, but he still needed to study it carefully.

Hearing this, Blackie's complexion changed, and a trace of hesitation appeared on his face.

"Why, is this matter troubling you?" Han Li's eyes narrowed, and a layer of frost covered his face.

"No, the secret technique is here, please have a look."

Seeing Han Li's complexion, Blackie's heart skipped a beat. He knew that if he didn't obey, he would immediately die. Hastily, he let go of his scruples, took out a jade slip, and handed it over.

Han Li's complexion slightly relaxed, and he took the jade slip, and his soul sank into it.

Inside the jade slip was a secret technique to refine the soul. It was divided into five layers, and it was extremely exquisite. It was not inferior to the Soul Refining Technique.

In addition to the 'Puppet's Heart', the jade slip also contained a secret technique to transform the soul into a shape, and to control the puppet.

Han Li was very interested in the Puppet Dao, so he carefully studied it.

After a while, he put away the jade slip, and raised his hands.

With a soft 'chi chi' sound, a thick crystal thread flew out from his fingertips, and submerged into the body of the Golden-Winged Owl.

The Golden-Winged Owl's body lit up in a golden light, and it immediately soared into the air, floating in mid-air.

Blackie was shocked to see this scene.

This puppet controlling technique was extremely difficult, and even if one's soul was strong enough, it would take at least a hundred years of hard work to master it. But this person in front of him had actually mastered it in the blink of an eye!

Han Li's figure moved, and he jumped onto the back of the Golden-Winged Owl. With a slight movement of his fingers, the Golden-Winged Owl immediately flew out, and circled around the hall.

However, his control technique this time was unfamiliar, and the Golden-Winged Owl's movements were erratic, far inferior to Zhuo Ge's. Compared to Sha Xin's exquisite control from before, it was like heaven and earth.

Han Li didn't stay in the air for too long, and he quickly stopped the Golden-Winged Owl and jumped down.

This puppet controlling technique was quite difficult, and he had barely mastered it by relying on his incomparably strong soul. Moreover, he didn't want to control puppets to fight, but to familiarize himself with this technique, so that it would be convenient for him to fight against the people of Puppet City in the future.

"I saw that the puppets of your Puppet City can shrink into a ball, what method did you use?" Han Li asked Blackie again.

"It's a puppet controlling technique invented by City Lord Sha Xin, which combines the Puppet Controlling Technique with the Secret Technique of Space. Here's how to use it."

Blackie had already told Han Li about the Puppet's Heart and the Puppet Controlling Technique, so he didn't care about anything else, and immediately told Han Li about the Puppet Controlling Technique.

This technique was quite complicated, but Han Li had already mastered the puppet controlling technique, so he quickly mastered it after some practice.

He formed a seal with both hands, and several crystal lights submerged into the Golden-Winged Owl's body.

The Golden-Winged Owl's surface flashed with a golden light, and the huge puppet quickly shrank. In a few breaths, it turned into a golden ball, and fell into his hand.

Han Li was satisfied, and he nodded.

"I wonder if Fellow Li has any other questions? I'll definitely tell you everything I know." Blackie secretly relaxed, and he said in a flattering tone.

"What is the purpose of your Puppet City entering the Great Ruins this time?" Han Li asked as he put away the golden ball.

"City Lord Sha Xin said that our Puppet City has two goals. One is to kill Eggy, and the other is to obtain the Sacred Remains.

As for whether there are other goals, I don't know, "Blackie said after thinking for a while.

"There's one last question. As long as you answer it clearly, you can leave." Han Li slightly narrowed his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again with a solemn expression.

"Fellow Li, please speak." Blackie's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said.

"I heard you call the woman in the black dress beside City Lord Sha Xin, Little Purple. What do you know about her?

When did she come to the Puppet City? "Han Li slowly said.

"My status in the Puppet City is low, and Little Purple has always been by City Lord Sha Xin's side. Moreover, her personality is somewhat eccentric, and she never communicates with outsiders. Therefore, I don't know much about her. I only know that she is extremely talented in controlling puppets, and the City Lord values her very much.

As for when this woman came to the Puppet City, I have been in seclusion for hundreds of years, and I only came out recently. At that time, Little Purple had already appeared, and it is said that she came to the Puppet City over a hundred years ago. "Blackie said after thinking for a while.

When Han Li heard this, he stood in silence. After a long time, he raised his head and said, "Alright, you can leave."

Blackie was delighted when he heard this, and he cupped his fists towards Han Li before quickly leaving. He didn't care about the silver leopard puppet that had its head destroyed.

Han Li stood where he was for a moment, and he let out a light breath. His expression became calm again, and he first put away Zhuo Ge's white wolf puppet, and then he walked to the side of the blood pool.

The Weeping Blood Formation had exploded, and the five statues next to the blood pool had all shattered, but the blood pool had not been damaged much.

He looked at the bottom of the blood pool, and his expression was slightly startled.

The blood-red light gate at the bottom of the pool had disappeared, and he didn't know when it had disappeared.

A figure was lying at the bottom of the pool, motionless. It was Fu Jian.

Han Li's eyes flashed, and he jumped down to Fu Jian's side, and he used his divine sense to check.

There was almost no place in Fu Jian's body that was intact. Whether it was his muscles or his five viscera and six bowels, they were all on the verge of collapse, and the Nascent Soul in his dantian was also on the verge of collapse.

Although there was still some aura left in his body, it was quickly dissipating, and it probably wouldn't be long before it completely disappeared.

Han Li didn't have much of a good impression of Fu Jian, and the two of them had quite a bit of friction before. However, when he saw Fu Jian's current state, he couldn't help but sigh.

However, he naturally wouldn't try to save him, and he didn't have that kind of heaven-defying method. He quickly moved his gaze away, and looked towards the place where the blood-red light gate had originally been.

However, that place was now empty, and there was not a single trace left, as if the light gate had never existed.
