"Jiao Twenty-Five, did you find anything underground?" Jiao Eight asked happily.
Jiao Twenty-Five stood up and said, "Everyone, you can sense that there is something underground."
When everyone heard this, they released their Divine Senses to scan the ground. Soon, their eyes lit up.
In the depths of this place, there was an underground cave. It was quite large, and it was obviously man-made.
"Fortunately, you are attentive. Otherwise, you would have missed such a suspicious point," praised Jiao Ba as he narrowed his eyes.
"Not at all. My cultivation method is special, so I am more sensitive to the underground." Jiao Twenty-Five smiled humbly.
"Let's go to the underground palace." Jiao Eight did not say anything else and went underground.
The other two members of Jiao Eight's team followed. Jiao Twenty-Five also went underground.
Soon, only Han Li and the other two were on the ground.
Jiao Jiu looked a little displeased and did not immediately follow them.
Jiao Sixteen and Han Li looked at each other and stayed where they were.
Although the seven of them were moving together, they had formed a circle because of their previous arrangement.
"Let's go." Jiao Nine was silent for a while. Then, a blue light flashed and he went underground.
Han Li and Jiao Sixteen also went underground. After a while, they arrived at the underground space.
The underground space was very large. It was at least thousands of feet wide.
The ground was very flat, and it was made of dark green stone slabs. It looked like a circular square. It was quite empty, as if no one had been here for a long time.
When everyone saw this, they looked at each other.
Han Li looked at the other parts of the stone room and sniffed.
There was a lot of water vapor in the stone room. There was a faint smell of blood, and there was a faint Yin Qi.
He squatted down, and with a light sound, his five fingers stabbed into a stone slab and pulled it out, revealing the dark red ground below.
However, there was a faint layer of black on the dark red ground.
Han Li grabbed a handful of soil and looked at it for a while. Then, he threw it away.
"Jiao Fifteen, did you find anything?" Jiao Sixteen walked over and asked.
"No, I didn't.
I just feel that this stone chamber is a little strange. The smell of blood and yin energy are all around. It seems that many people have died here. The soil under the stone slabs has almost turned into yin soil, "Han Li said in a low voice.
"This must be the place where they deal with their enemies," Jiao Sixteen said.
Han Li shook his head slowly. If he wanted to kill someone, he could do it anywhere. Why did he have to bring them underground and build a stone room?
Although he vaguely felt that there was something strange about this matter, he couldn't think of a reason for it.
At the same time, Jiao Ba and the others were discussing and guessing the purpose of this underground space.
"There's no need to worry about it. If you want to know why there's an underground space here, just grab someone and ask them."
Jiao Jiu suddenly said. He waved his hand and shot out a yellow light. It was a small yellow flag. It flashed and disappeared into the top of the stone room.
Somewhere on the outskirts of the Hong Yue City Plaza, a middle-aged Nascent Soul cultivator wearing a blood-moon blue robe was patrolling the city, maintaining order everywhere.
At this moment, a yellow light flashed under his feet, and a large yellow hand stretched out like lightning, grabbed his feet, and pulled him down into the ground.
Circles of yellow ripples appeared under the middle-aged man's feet. The hard ground seemed to have turned into muddy water.
"Whoosh!" The middle-aged man's body instantly disappeared underground. The yellow ripples on the ground also disappeared.
The surrounding people were so focused on their pilgrimage that no one noticed what had happened.
A yellow light flashed at the top of the underground plaza. A yellow light enveloped the middle-aged man and he fell to the ground with a plop.
The middle-aged man's expression changed when he saw Han Li and the others.
However, he was imprisoned by the yellow light around him. He couldn't move or make a sound.
Jiao Jiu grabbed the middle-aged man's head. Black light flashed from his palm and turned into black threads that entered the middle-aged man's head.
The middle-aged man's face twisted and blood seeped out of his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
Jiao Jiu's expression was cold. Black threads continuously flowed out of his palm.
However, at that moment, the middle-aged man's body suddenly trembled. There was a muffled bang in his head. It was as if something had exploded.
The middle-aged man's eyes dimmed and he stopped breathing.
Jiao Jiu's expression darkened.
The middle-aged man's situation was the same as that of the Form Synthesis Stage cultivator in Tianshui City. His soul had a restriction placed on it. If the soul search touched certain memories, his soul would automatically explode.
"Even if we can search his soul, these Nascent Soul Stage cultivators won't know much. There's no point in staying here. Let's hurry to the next Red Moon City," Jiao Ba said with a hint of mockery.
After saying this, he rushed into the sky. The three people beside him immediately followed.
"Hmph, let's go," Jiao Jiu coldly snorted and turned to Han Li and Jiao Shiliu. The three of them also rushed into the sky.
The group of seven quickly left the city and headed towards the next city, the Crimson Moon City.
…
After a few days, the seven of them arrived in front of a city that was covered by a huge blue restriction. There was a huge lake next to it.
Although it was called a lake, it was actually connected to the sea. It was a large inland sea.
There were many docks outside the city. Hundreds and thousands of ships entered and exited the docks. It was a magnificent sight.
This city was Feng Zhou's Red Moon City.
This was the sixth Red Moon City that they had visited in the past few days.
In the end, every city was the same as Lan Zhou's Red Moon City. Although there were also islands and underground spaces, there was nothing unusual about them.
The seven of them landed outside the city and entered the city.
There were two main roads that connected the four city gates. There was a huge circular plaza in the center of the city.
At this time, the city was also crowded. The plaza was filled with pilgrims who had come from all directions.
Han Li used his Brightsight Spirit Eyes and narrowed his eyes.
This place was the same as the previous Red Moon Cities. There were no high-grade cultivators in the city. It was likely that they had come for nothing. This was just an ordinary city.
Jiao Ba opened his mouth and was about to say something. Jiao Jiu had already brought Han Li and Jiao Shiliu into the city.
A cold light flashed in his eyes. He did not say anything and brought the other three to another road.
After a while, Jiao Jiu and the other two arrived at a remote corner.
Just as they were about to split up, Jiao Jiu suddenly said to Han Li and Jiao Shiliu, "There is an unwritten rule in the alliance. Those who play an important role in the mission will receive extra rewards. These rewards are usually very generous.
Although we do not have many clues, you must not let your guard down. Do not let the rewards go to Jiao Ba and the others. "
Hearing this, Han Li and Jiao Shiliu were stunned. They then cupped their hands at Jiao Jiu and said,
"Thank you for your guidance."
Jiao Jiu nodded and walked in a direction.
Jiao Shiliu and Han Li greeted each other and walked in another direction. They could not wait.
Han Li turned and walked in another street. He looked at the shops on both sides as if he was looking for something.
At this moment, the pilgrimage in the city was about to end. There were many people walking in the city, so he did not hide.
A short moment later, Han Li quickly walked into a shop on the side of the street. It was also a shop that sold books.
The shop was not small. It had four floors. There were three rooms on the first floor. Each room was four to five feet wide and filled with bookshelves.
Because of the pilgrimage, the shop was very quiet and there were not many customers.
"Sir, what books are you looking for?"
Seeing Han Li enter, a fat middle-aged man with a mustache greeted him with a wide smile. He seemed to be the shopkeeper of this place.
"Do you have any ancient maps or geography books? The older the better," Han Li said as he glanced at the bookshelves in the store.
"Maps … I do have some, but they are not very old." The fat middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a strange light, but he quickly recovered and said calmly.
Although it was only a flash of light, it didn't escape Han Li's notice.
He had a thought and a layer of crystal light appeared in his eyes.
The fat middle-aged man stared blankly at Han Li's eyes and his expression immediately became sluggish.
"Take out your oldest maps and geography books," Han Li said lightly.
"Yes, sir," the fat middle-aged man replied and turned around to walk inside.
Han Li strode after her.
After a while, he walked out of the shop and flipped through a book with a brown cover. The book seemed to be made of some kind of animal skin, and it looked very old.
"As expected …" Han Li's eyes flashed with excitement as he muttered to himself.
Half a day later, the group of seven gathered again. They did not look good.
They had not found anything in the city. The underground space was still empty. There were no clues.
"Where is Gongshu Hong hiding?
Do we Perfected Immortals have to keep searching on this island? "Jiao Ba's subordinate, Jiao 21, could not help but complain.
"Don't worry. Although Gongshu Hong is hiding, this is his lair.
There are only about 20 cities in Hong Yue City. If we search them one by one, we will find some clues.
Next, we will go to Zang Zhou's Hong Yue City, "Jiao Ba said and turned to leave.
"Jiao Ba, wait a moment. I might have found some clues about the Island Master of Hong Yue Island," a voice suddenly said. It was Han Li.
Everyone was startled to hear this, and they all turned to look at Han Li.
"Really? What clues?" Jiao Jiu was happy and asked quickly.
Han Li pointed with his finger and a watery light appeared. It condensed into a water mirror and a picture appeared on it.
"Everyone, please take a look," Han Li said.
Everyone looked at the water mirror. It was a map of the island. It was similar to the map that Jiao Ba had shown them, but it was more detailed.
"Isn't this the map that Jiao Ba added? We have seen it already," Jiao Twenty-Five snorted and said disdainfully.
The others were also puzzled.
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
At that moment, two sounds of surprise came from Jiao Ba and Jiao Jiu.
