In a small valley on the edge of the Wanyue Mountains, more than a hundred high-level practitioners in different costumes are gathering together to perform a huge unknown magic circle.
Next to him was a burly and majestic man in brocade clothes, watching all this with a blank expression.
…
In a strange swamp full of countless poisonous insects, on a light blue stone platform, a small tripod with blue light was enshrined.
Near the stone platform, three extremely ugly old men were sitting cross-legged in one direction, closing their eyes solemnly and practicing something.
…
"The eight countries near the Qiyun Mountains, including Yuguang Country and Chuanyun Country, have all been wiped out. How is this possible?"
In another huge city thousands of miles away from the Blood Crane City, an old man in a green robe yelled at a yellow man in front of him in disbelief.
"Lord Biying, the villain's words must not be half false. The eight countries from top to bottom, regardless of whether they are monarchs or ordinary people, all disappeared strangely a month ago, and not even a single survivor can be found. .” The man in yellow replied nonuo.
The old man in green robe was Bi Ying who had dealt with Han Li once.
"What about the big and small sects in the Qiyun Mountain Range? People in the sect will not be unaware of such an astonishing incident." Bi Ying asked with a serious face.
"This subordinate has also conducted a special investigation. Among the nineteen sects large and small in the Qiyun Mountain Range, the same figures have disappeared. It seems that they have suffered the same fate as the people from the Eight Kingdoms." The man in yellow replied with a wry smile. .
"The same disappeared? Although these nineteen sects are nothing in the Blood Sky Continent, they are a force that cannot be underestimated if they are united. Even if the alliance takes action, it is impossible to wipe them out silently This matter is so bizarre, haven't we found any clues?" Bi Ying asked slowly after blinking her eyes a few times.
"I can't say there are no clues at all. After the League found out about this, it immediately sent people into the Eight Kingdoms and these sects to investigate. It turned out that there were no traces of fierce resistance in the cities of the Eight Kingdoms or those sects. It means that either these people were looted voluntarily, or the strength of the other party is so incredible that the Eight Kingdoms and a dozen sects are not even qualified to resist." The man in yellow replied with a slight bow.
"Which possibility do you think?" Bi Ying asked back.
"My subordinates think that it is likely to be the second situation." The man in yellow replied without much consideration.
"Why?"
"Because mortals from all ethnic groups in the eight countries will not talk about it, it is absolutely impossible for those members of the nineteen sects to leave the sect voluntarily as cultivators. The investigators of this alliance found some residual blood aura in the Qiyun Mountains. Master Bi, you too I know that only the Blood Dao Kung Fu has the means to use blood sacrifice to quickly improve cultivation. If these people were really captured for this reason, such a large-scale blood sacrifice rarely happened even on the Blood Sky Continent.
And the remaining blood aura in the Qiyun Mountains is even more terrifying, it is definitely left by the blood Dao powerhouses like the Mahayana ancestors, and only such murderous people would do such things recklessly. "The man in yellow said analyzing one by one.
"There is some truth to what you said. Most likely it was done by the master of the blood. Those who belong to this alliance can't really let go. How about this, you report the investigation results of this matter to the Crying Blood Sect and the Wind Snake Clan who are closest to the Qiyun Mountain Range. These two groups are the largest forces in the vicinity All the forces have Mahayana ancestors sitting in town, and there are also many interests. It is impossible to really ignore this matter on the Qiyun Mountain Range. I will also invite Master Yanyu to come and join the ancestors of these two major forces. Keep investigating." Biying finally made a decision and said.
"Yes, this subordinate knows how to do it, and then everything will be properly arranged." The man in yellow bowed obediently immediately.
…
The surface of a huge lake in the north of the Qiyun Mountains is emerald green. After the spring breeze blows, ripples appear on the surface, and there are some fish and shrimps swimming in the water. Everything seems to be extremely normal.
But above an unfathomably deep underwater canyon at the bottom of the huge lake, there are layers of mysterious restrictions covering the seemingly strangely long canyon.
Under these restrictions, there was a cloud of coagulated blood mist that did not disperse, dyeing the entire canyon bright red, and it was impossible to see clearly what was going on inside.
However, under the blood mist, there is a black-red blood river with a strong smell, which is hundreds of feet wide but can't be seen at the end.
On the surface of this gurgling blood river, an indistinct figure sat cross-legged on it.
This figure was holding a tactic with one hand, and was holding a gleaming object in the other. Straits of viscous blood flowed out of the river and sank into it one after another.
…
Half a month later, Han Li, who was cultivating with his eyes closed in the courtyard, suddenly heard bursts of clear sounds from his body.
Han Li's expression moved, and he opened his eyes immediately. He flicked his sleeve again, and a golden light flew out from it.
It was a light golden talisman.
After Han Li squinted at the golden talisman for a moment, he put it away with one hand, and then his figure blurred again, and he disappeared into the room.
A few hours later, Han Li left Blood Crane City with Patriarch Huashi and Blood Soul, and turned into several streaks of light and went straight to the nearby Wanyue Mountain Range.
Not long after, in the palace at the center of Blood Crane City, the masked man lost his voice and said, "What, the Human Race Mahayana has left the city and is heading towards the Wanyue Mountain Range."
"That's right, according to the Supreme Elder's instructions, I will report to you as soon as there is news that Senior Han has left the city." A man in the fusion stage replied respectfully in front of Xiao Ming.
"Well done, you go down." Xiao Ming's expression was uncertain for a while, then he waved his hands with a smile.
The man in the fit period immediately withdrew from the hall.
"Han Li actually went to the Wanyue Mountains. With his supernatural powers, it's a little troublesome." The side of Xiao Ming fluctuated together, and two faint shadows appeared in a flash. It was Mrs. Wanhua and Taoist Qingping.
The person speaking was none other than Madam Wan Hua, her words were full of fear towards Han Li, and it was obvious that she still had lingering fears from the previous confrontation.
"It can't be a coincidence. Fellow Daoist Han also said earlier that there are other important matters in the nearby area. And it's not the day when Tianding Palace is alive. If it is really for this matter, it would be a little early to leave." Xiao Ming finally spoke.
"Entering the Wanyue Mountain Range at such a time, the word 'coincidence' can be easily explained. As for the person who went to wait in the mountain range before the opening time, this fellow Daoist Han is not the only one. The current Wanyue Mountain Range, I am afraid There are already a lot of people who are waiting for the rabbit, and now there is one more person, which is not unusual." Taoist Qingping said calmly.
"It seems that both of you think that Fellow Daoist Han is also here for Tianding Palace." Xiao Ming looked thoughtful.
"I can't say 100%, but nine out of ten are not much different. Now that there is such an extra enemy, does Brother Xiao have any good strategies?" Taoist Qingping asked back.
"Why do you need any good strategy? No matter how strong he is, he can't enter the Tianding Palace without the key. Even if he takes a step back, he can really snatch the key from other people. There are many restrictions in the Cauldron Palace that day. Inherited from the lineage of Daoist Tianding, plus my attainments in the way of formation, are you really afraid that this person will not succeed!" Xiao Ming replied with a chuckle.
"That's true, Pindao is a little confused. Even if this person has great supernatural powers, as long as I find the core center of the palace's big formation first, then even other great enemies will join forces. I don't need to take it to heart anymore." Daoist Qingping was startled for a moment, then suddenly laughed dumbly.
Mrs. Wanhua next to her also relaxed when she heard the words.
Xiao Ming touched his chin, and a thought-provoking look flashed in his eyes.
…
Seven days later, in a temporarily opened cave in the belly of a certain tall mountain in the Wanyue Mountains, Han Li was sitting on a stone chair in the main hall of the cave, listening calmly to the bloody woman talking about something. .
"... In this way, the main body used a special secret technique to keep my avatar and the virtual tripod outside before entering the Tianding Palace with a real key just in case. If I return, it will automatically activate me as the avatar, and seal most of the related records. According to the previous calculation of the subject, the time for the second birth of the Tianding Palace is coming, and the only way to rescue the subject is to enter it again The Xutian Cauldron is just an imitation key for entering the Tianding Palace, which was refined using the secret technique of the golden jade book. Although as an imitation key, the effect is only half of the original one, if you go straight to the main entrance of the Tianding Palace, it is too dangerous Some. But at the beginning, the concubine found a flaw in the Tianding Palace formation. Even with only this fake key, I can sneak into it with some confidence... "
Xue Po narrated for a full meal before finally giving an overview of what happened to Bing Po that year.
"So, Fellow Daoist Blood Soul has finally recovered all his memories. This is really a gratifying thing. Back then, your Xu Tianding came to make a deal with Han, although because of the memory seal, you didn't know that Tianding Daoist and Regarding the specific matters of the Tianding Palace, I only know that this tripod is a key to open a super secret that even Mahayana existences would be tempted to open, but it has never been said that this is just an imitation, not a real one. This and The original agreement is a little bit different." Han Li said calmly without showing the slightest abnormality on his face.
