Chapter 989

Han Li struggled to his feet and hobbled forward. He pulled out his Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords from Eco Ge's dantian and swept them horizontally with furrowed brows, slicing off half of Eco Ge's head.

At this moment, he felt a wave of emptiness. The Wheel of Truth and Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword both flashed and returned to his body.

Han Li's body was covered in blood and his clothes were tattered. He glanced at Violet Spirit in the distance and his lips curled into a smile. His legs gave way and he sat on the ground.

Madam Liu Hua, Gu Qianxun, and Shi Chuankong were all shocked at this scene.

"City Lord Edgar … Edgar … died just like that?" Gu Qianxun muttered to herself.

Madam Liu Hua did not speak and only nodded silently.

After Shi Chuankong recovered from his shock, he let out a long sigh and sat on the ground.

Han Li sat cross-legged with difficulty and closed his eyes after taking a deep breath.

At this moment, the golden dantian in his body quickly shrank and disappeared. The immortal spiritual energy in his body quickly stagnated again.

While the immortal spiritual energy in his body could still circulate, he hurriedly took out some healing pills from the flower space.

He had almost used up all the healing pills on him. How could the pills in the Accumulated Scale Space compare to the pills outside?

After taking out enough pills, Han Li's eyes flickered as he thought of something and reached his hand into his bosom.

A black light flashed in his hand and a black statue appeared. It was the same statue that he obtained from Dao Master Reflecting Bone.

As soon as he finished, the golden dantian in Han Li's body disappeared and the immortal spiritual energy in his body became silent again.

He did not care about this and swallowed a pill. His injuries quickly recovered.

"Fellow Li, are you alright?

I didn't expect you to have such strength. Even Edgar was not your match. "Shi Chuankong walked over and asked.

"I'm fine."

Han Li noncommittally waved his hand and walked over to Violet Spirit's side, carefully examining her condition.

Seeing that she was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief and went to Edgar's corpse. He scanned it with his divine sense and frowned.

Edgar's body was completely empty. There was nothing on him at all.

"How?" Han Li was shocked.

In the Accumulated Scale Void Realm, one could not use storage artifacts. Therefore, everyone had brought a lot of things with them. Elixirs, weapons, and the like were absolutely indispensable. But why was there nothing on Edgar? Could it be that he had lost it in the fierce battle?

His gaze turned and landed on a white bone ring on Ernie's left hand.

The ring seemed to be made from some kind of skeleton. It emitted a white light and seemed to be an extraordinary item.

Han Li pondered for a moment before taking off the ring.

"You have a good eye.

That's the Starry Sky Ring that I forged using the skeleton of a Starry Sky Beast as the foundation and supplemented with Star Restriction and Spatial Restriction. It can be used with the power of the stars, "Madam Liuhua's voice sounded.

Upon hearing this, Han Li shot a glance at Madam Liuhua. He secretly circulated the star energy in his body and poured it into the Bone Ring. At the same time, his Divine Sense also probed the inside of the Bone Ring.

A layer of white light emerged from the Bone Ring and blocked the power of his Divine Sense.

Han Li silently circulated the power of the stars in his Profound Aperture and attacked the layer of white light. Soon, a light "kacha" sound was heard. The white light shattered and his Divine Sense entered the Bone Ring.

The space inside the Bone Ring was not big. It was only about twenty to thirty feet in size. Any storage artifact outside would be much bigger than this. However, one could not use Celestial Spiritual Power in the Accumulated Scale Void Realm. Therefore, such a storage artifact was extremely precious.

The Storage Space was filled with all kinds of things. There were elixirs, weapons, beast cores, and some books and ancient books.

Han Li's Divine Sense swept through these things and quickly searched. Soon, his eyes lit up and fell on a corner of the Storage Space. There were two statues there.

He was very familiar with these two statues. They were similar to the two Heavenly Fiend Hell Suppression Technique statues in his hands. He did not need to ask to know that they were the remaining two statues.

Han Li rejoiced in his heart. However, he did not take them out to avoid attracting attention.

He withdrew his Divine Sense and put the Bone Ring on his hand. Then, he put the two statues and the elixirs into the Storage Space.

At this moment, there was a "splash" sound from the nearby blood lake. A blood light shot out from it and quickly wrapped around Eggy's body. With a "whoosh", it pulled Eggy into the lake and disappeared.

Han Li raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the crystal coffin. A thoughtful expression flashed across his face.

At this moment, Sha Xin slowly woke up.

Although her body was seriously damaged, she still managed to stand up.

At the same time that Sha Xin woke up, Violet Spirit also frowned and opened her eyes.

Han Li's face lit up when he saw this scene. He was about to quickly walk over, but his eyes turned and he stopped.

"Eggy!" Sha Xin looked around and quickly saw Eggy's body. She was shocked.

"Don't worry, City Lord Sha Xin, Eggy has been slain by Fellow Daoist Li," Madam Liu Hua said with a smile.

Sha Xin's expression eased upon hearing this, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes as she looked at Han Li, and she opened her mouth to say something.

"Alright, Eggy is dead, so there's nothing else for you to do here.

Everyone else can leave, but Fellow Daoist Li will stay. "An authoritative voice sounded from within the crystal coffin, and it was Daoist Xie's voice.

At this moment, the blood lake was still surging toward the crystal coffin, and the Holy Skeleton within the coffin had already regenerated into a naked male body.

This was a middle-aged man with a head of white hair and a squarish face. Even though his eyes were tightly shut, he still gave off an authoritative aura.

"This appearance …" Han Li's eyes flashed as he looked at the male body within the crystal coffin.

At this moment, the man in the coffin bore a slight resemblance to Daoist Xie, but they weren't exactly the same.

"Mas … Master, you've finally been resurrected! This is great!"

When Sha Xin saw this, she revealed an ecstatic expression. She knelt before the crystal coffin and said excitedly, ignoring the injuries on her body.

"I haven't fully recovered yet, so I'll need some time to recuperate. I'll be fine with Fellow Daoist Li here to protect me," Daoist Xie continued.

"This … Even though Fellow Daoist Li helped us kill Eggy, he's still an outsider, so it's best that I stay here to protect him," Sha Xin said as she glanced at Han Li.

"Fellow Daoist Li, we've known each other for many years, so there's no need for you to worry. Besides, I have another important task for you …" Daoist Xie's voice trailed off halfway through his sentence, and he had clearly switched to voice transmission.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Li, I'll leave this place to you."

Sha Xin's expression changed, but she soon nodded and spoke to Han Li. She then immediately walked out with Violet Spirit.

Han Li suddenly stopped Sha Xin and said, "Wait a moment, City Lord Sha Xin. Violet Spirit is my friend. Please remove the restriction on her soul and allow her to return to her true self."

Violet Spirit's body shuddered upon hearing this, and a complex expression appeared on her face.

When Sha Xin heard this, she apologized to Han Li and walked over to Violet Spirit. "Look at my poor memory. I nearly forgot about this matter. When Violet Spirit first entered the puppet city, I was worried that she was a spy sent by Profound City. As such, I sealed her memories. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Li. I'll remove the seal for her right away."

She quickly made a hand seal before extending two fingers and pointing them at Violet Spirit's glabella while chanting something.

Bursts of golden light radiated from her fingers before disappearing into Violet Spirit's glabella.

A series of golden runes appeared on Violet Spirit's forehead, forming a sealing technique. Her eyes became misty, and she fell weakly to the ground.

"Release!" Sha Xin yelled.

The golden veined patterns on Violet Spirit's forehead lit up before dissipating into countless specks of light.

She let out a muffled groan and fell unconscious. Her body fell to the ground.

A figure flashed, and Han Li appeared beside Violet Spirit to support her.

"What's wrong with her?"

"There's no need to worry, Fellow Daoist Li. Violet Spirit is only temporarily unconscious and will awaken soon," Sha Xin said with a faint smile.

After saying that, she bowed toward the crystal coffin once more before leaving.

Madam Liu Hua and Gu Qianxun followed behind her.

Shi Chuankong's gaze shifted from Daoist Xie to Han Li. He seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed his words in the end and walked out.

The group soon exited the underground space and arrived outside.

Sha Xin closed the entrance of the tunnel but did not leave. Instead, she sat down with her legs crossed and a faint white glow appeared on her body, as if she was healing herself.

Madam Liu Hua and the others did not leave immediately either. Instead, they each stood to the side.

Madam Liu Hua's expression flickered before she gritted her teeth and brought Gu Qianxun to Sha Xin. She cupped her fists and bowed. "I am Liu Hua, and I bring my daughter Qianxun to greet City Lord Sha Xin."

Sha Xin slowly opened her eyes and calmly said, "Fellow Daoist Liu Hua, I do not dare to accept such a bow."

"City Lord Sha Xin is a person of virtue and prestige. Now that you have the assistance of the expert in the crystal coffin, it is only a matter of time before you unify the Kulin Spatial Realm.

I was blind in my old age in the past, and I helped that traitor Eke fight against City Lord Sha Xin. Please forgive me, City Lord Sha Xin. Now, I am willing to forsake darkness for light and serve under City Lord Sha Xin. Please accept me, City Lord Sha Xin. "Madam Liu Hua sincerely said.

"I am also willing to join Puppet City. Please accept me, City Lord Sha Xin." Gu Qianxun also bowed.

"Oh, you want to join my Puppet City?

Hehe, let's not talk about this Gu Qianxun first. Fellow Daoist Liu Hua, you helped Eke create countless star tools in the past, causing uncountable damage to our Puppet City. Even if I am willing to accept you into my Puppet City, I'm afraid the others in the Puppet City will not tolerate you. "Sha Xin glanced at Madam Liu Hua and said coldly.

"I understand. In order to appease the anger of the fellow daoists in the Puppet City, I am willing to inform City Lord Sha Xin of the military deployment around the Mysterious City and the weaknesses of the city's defenses.

The majority of the Mysterious City's defenses were set up by me and Eke together. I wonder if this is acceptable? "Madam Liu Hua bitterly smiled and said.

"Since Fellow Daoist Liu Hua is so sincere, I am not someone who does not know how to clean up. Good!

From today onwards, the two of you are members of my Puppet City. "Sha Xin's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"Thank you, City Lord." Joy appeared in Madam Liu Hua's eyes as she once again bowed with Gu Qianxun.
