"When we found them, they already looked like this. Several of us deduced that it should be the hand of the Sanxian who ambushed us." Jiao Jiu, wearing a sheep mask, looked back from the corpse on the ground, Said.
"After learning about the situation here, Jiao Ba and I rushed to our respective destinations. As expected, all the people who sneaked in before disappeared without exception." Jiao San said in a deep voice.
"On the way, apart from the fact that some cities are empty, and it is said that they are going on a pilgrimage to the holy city, there seems to be no other abnormality. As for the pilgrimage, our investigation results are similar to those of Jiaojiu and the others. It should belong to Gongshuhong's collection belief. A form of power." Monkey-faced Jiao Balue said after pondering for a moment.
"Have you ever noticed that among these pilgrims, it is said that some so-called pious people will be selected and will not return to their original city after the pilgrimage?" Han Li said suddenly.
"There is indeed such a thing. It is said that being moved to a richer city may be just a means for Gong Shuhong to strengthen the trust of the believers... Speaking of which, Master Jiao and I did not encounter the other party's ambush. It seems that This person has long been wary of our Impermanence League. The accuracy of the information obtained in the previous alliance is also worth deliberating." Jiao Ba was a little unconcerned, and changed the subject.
"That's right, the other party may have already grasped some of our whereabouts, and deliberately set up false news to lure us there. It's just that they miscalculated our strength. Let's not talk about other things, but this public loser will never be here. The six or seven places I mentioned before may be in the so-called holy city of Red Moon City, why not just go there and have a look, maybe there will be something to gain." Jiao Jiu smiled wryly, and then suggested so.
"Speaking of this matter, there are twenty-eight prefectures in Red Moon Island, and it seems that each prefecture has a city called Red Moon City." Jiao Ba shook his head and said.
"Is this true?" Jiao Jiu was slightly taken aback.
"In the map obtained before, although there is a place called Red Moon City, when we passed by a certain city, we accidentally discovered that the so-called Red Moon City in their mouths was in another direction. At first we didn't think too much about it. I paid attention to it, but later found that this is not the case. Although I have only passed through a few states, I deliberately noticed that there is a Red Moon City in each state." Jiao Ba said, raising his sleeve robe, five jade pieces Jane flew towards Han Li, Jiao San and the other five.
After Han Li and the others received the jade slips, they released their spiritual senses to penetrate into it.
The map in the jade slip has many more signs than the previous one. In addition to the previous Red Moon City, there is also a Red Moon City marked in the other states.
Each of these states and counties has a very vast territory. If the high-level monks deliberately conceal it, it is impossible for mortals or even low-level monks to discover this.
"In the cities passing by on the island, they only sell maps of a certain area. There has never been a map of the whole island for sale. Now it seems that this should be done on purpose by Gong Shuhong. And the monks under this person should all be dismissed. Some kind of special restriction has been imposed, so it is impossible to disclose this matter, otherwise, the soul will explode and die. Even, the map we got before was leaked to us deliberately by the other party." Jiao Jiu nodded and said slowly.
As soon as this remark came out, everyone fell silent.
After all, judging from the clues obtained so far, the whereabouts of Gong Shuhong, the target of this trip, has become a mystery, which is indeed a bit tricky.
Han Li suddenly thought of something, and stuck the jade slip he had just put down to his forehead again, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"Since there are no other clues now, let's start the investigation from those Red Moon Cities. All of you should act together and investigate those Red Moon Cities one by one." Jiao San said suddenly.
"Master Jiao San, aren't you with us?" Jiao Jiu was startled.
"I act alone. If you find anything, send me a message." Jiao San glanced at the crowd, and then a red light flashed on his body, and his whole body soared into the sky without any concealment, towards a certain place. fly away.
"It seems that Master Jiao San is going to find that Gong Shuhong explicitly. Let's follow his orders. This is Lanzhou, and the Red Moon City here is not too far away." Monkey-faced Jiao Ba lightly coughed With a sound, so said.
The others immediately changed their appearances, left the courtyard, mixed with the crowd, and headed out of the city.
"Everyone, wait for a moment. I have some trivial matters to delay everyone's time." Passing a street, Han Li suddenly said.
After saying this, without waiting for everyone to respond, he quickly walked into a shop selling various books on the side of the road.
The others were slightly taken aback, but after looking at each other, they didn't say much.
Not long after, Han Li came out with a few more books in his hands, which seemed to be about the geographical environment of the island.
"It's been a long time." Han Li nodded to them, and put away the books in front of them.
A group of people quickly left Longhu City, came to a secluded place, and then used their own methods to soar into the sky.
Jiao Jiu sacrificed the previous blue crystal flying boat again, and carried Jiao Shiliu and Han Li who had not fully recovered their vitality. This move made Jiao Ba and the others look sideways.
Standing on the spirit boat, Han Li glanced at the big river near Longhu City below, then sat down cross-legged, took out a book and carefully flipped through it.
Jiao Shiliu was a little surprised by Han Li's actions, but he didn't pay any attention to it, focusing on recovering his luck.
Han Li quickly finished looking through these classics, and after a moment of pondering, he took out the jade slip that Jiao Ba had given earlier, and penetrated into it with his spiritual sense.
At this moment, the sky is gradually dimming, and the sky is full of stars.
A group of seven people galloped forward, and after half a day, they stopped in front of a big city.
This city is Lanzhou Red Moon City, with a huge area, far above Longhu City, a large river hundreds of feet wide meanders through the city.
The entire city was shrouded in a huge layer of blue barriers, with bursts of water-like fluorescent light appearing on it from time to time, which was quite mysterious. Through the blue light, only the outline of the city inside could be vaguely seen.
However, at the entrances of the four gates in the east, west, north, south, and south of the city, the Blue Light Restriction left four gaps for people to enter and exit.
There are some monks wearing blood moon blue robes guarding the gates of the four cities to check the pedestrians entering and leaving.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the famous Qianguang Phantom Wave Forbidden, which has average protection ability, but is extremely sensitive to spiritual consciousness." Jiao Ba looked at the blue forbidden, and muttered to himself.
"This city is so tightly guarded, could it be that this is the old nest of Hongyue Island?" Jiao Twenty-one, who was following Jiao Ba, was overjoyed and said.
Hearing this, the eyes of the others also lit up.
"Whether it's true or not, let's go in and have a look first. You should pay more attention, try to restrain your consciousness, and don't touch the prohibition of the formation." Jiao Ba said in a deep voice.
Listening to Jiao No. 8's commanding tone, Jiao Jiu's eyes flashed a trace of dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything.
The seven people landed in a secluded place outside the city and mixed into the crowd entering the city.
Although the gate of the city was also guarded by cultivators at the level of Huashen, they naturally couldn't see through the disguise of Han Li and others, and the seven entered the city smoothly.
The ground in the city is paved with large bluestone slabs, clean and tidy. There are many shops on both sides of the street, which looks very prosperous.
Two wide avenues connect the four city gates, dividing the entire city into four parts. There is a huge square in the center of the city, and a huge statue stands in the center.
The city is overcrowded at the moment, and the giant square in the center is even densely packed with people. The same is true on the streets everywhere, at least there are millions of people.
At this moment, everyone respectfully paid homage to the ground statue in the center of the square, and the whole city was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
"This is..." Seeing the situation in the city, Han Li was taken aback.
The others were also a little surprised, but then they all understood.
The scene in front of me is probably the so-called pilgrimage.
Han Li looked around with blue light in his eyes, frowning slightly.
Although there are many people in the city, most of them are mortals without mana. Although there are also monks, they are all low-level monks who refine Qi and form alchemy.
There are also some monks in the city who wear blood moon blue robes, but their cultivation bases are not high, similar to those gatekeepers, they are only at the level of the Nascent Soul Stage, the Transformation Stage, and there is not even a single Void Refining cultivator.
Here, it didn't look like the place they were looking for.
The others obviously noticed this at the moment, and their faces darkened.
"No matter what, let's investigate the city first, maybe we can find some clues." Jiao Ba said.
Hearing the words, the others nodded their heads one after another, after a little deliberation, they finally decided to disperse their actions.
The area of the city is too large, and it is not easy for everyone to use their consciousness on a large scale, and anyway, everyone is in the city, even if there are any enemies ambushing here, there is still time to respond to each other.
The discussion was established, and everyone quickly separated.
Han Li walked along a street, his eyes flickering with blue light, and he inspected everything around him.
At this moment, his figure became indistinct, blending in with the surrounding environment.
The crowds on the street were all worshiping silently, and walking around alone was somewhat noticeable, so he simply cast a spell to hide his figure.
After a while, Han Li appeared in front of a shop on the street, which was a shop selling ancient books.
At this moment, the whole city is on a pilgrimage. Although these shops are open to welcome customers, there are no customers inside, only a middle-aged shopkeeper guarding the shop.
Han Li flew in in a flash, and walked out after a while.
He didn't delay any longer, and carefully searched all over the city.
This Red Moon City is not small in size, and it took half a day for seven people to search the entire city and gather together in a secluded place in the city.
It's a pity that no one showed any abnormalities.
This Red Moon City seems to be just an ordinary big city, nothing special about it.
"It seems that this is not the old nest of Hongyue Island. If so, we don't need to waste it here anymore..." Jiao Ba said.
"Fellow Jiao Ba, wait a moment, the underground is a bit weird." A voice suddenly interrupted Jiao Ba's words, but it was the twenty-five Jiao.
He was half squatting on the ground at the moment, with circles of yellow ripples visible to the naked eye emitting from his body, sinking into the ground.
