"Huh?"
Han Li looked around the square and could not help but let out a soft cry of surprise.
His figure shot out and landed in front of a huge palace on the opposite side of the square.
This palace was much taller than the others, and it was built with a kind of dark blue crystal. There was a layer of faint blue light rippling on it, and it looked like a crystal palace at the bottom of the sea.
Han Li knew this kind of blue crystal. It was called Sea Blue Crystal, and it was a kind of water attribute crystal known for its sturdiness. Although it was not a top-grade material, it was quite precious. It was really a big deal that it was used to build an entire hall.
However, he could not wait to rush over, not because he was attracted by the material of the hall, but because of the thing inside the hall.
Although it was very weak, Han Li could sense a fluctuation of the Law of Time in the depths of the hall.
Perhaps because the hall was built with Sea Blue Crystal, it was basically well preserved even though it had been damaged. Even the horizontal board on the door of the hall was not damaged.
"Water Palace …"
Han Li looked at the horizontal board and was slightly moved. Just as he was about to step into the hall, he was suddenly attracted by something next to the door.
It was a black and blue stone statue that had fallen on the ground. It was more than a hundred feet high, and it was a strange boy with a big head and a thin body.
The bottom of the stone statue was broken, and it seemed to be cut by a sword. Han Li turned his eyes and looked near the palace. There was a giant stone block that had been cut off, and the surface matched the fracture of the stone statue. It seemed that this stone statue was originally erected here.
Han Li looked at the stone statue of the big-headed boy and felt that it was vaguely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"Oh, it's him!" He looked at the stone statue again and suddenly recalled.
The big-eared monk that he had observed through the crystal wall was Patriarch Mi Luo's sermon. There were five people sitting around him, and one of them was a strange boy with a big head and a small body. His figure and appearance were basically the same as this stone statue.
But why did that person's stone statue appear here?
Could this Flowing Water Palace be related to this big-headed boy?
Han Li pondered for a moment, then quickly stopped thinking about it and stepped into the hall.
As soon as they walked into the main hall, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, giving off a strange feeling of oppression.
He frowned slightly but did not stop.
The hall was quite spacious. Apart from a few giant aquamarine crystal pillars, there was nothing else. There were also many signs of battle, and one of the pillars had even been broken.
Han Li searched around the hall but did not find anything. He continued to go deeper and soon arrived at the deepest part of the hall.
There was a huge door on the left and right walls of this place. Behind the door were two long black passageways that stretched into the depths of this place. It was so dark that one could not see the bottom.
When he was outside, he saw that there were many palaces behind the blue hall. It seemed to be a building complex that occupied a large area.
Han Li looked at the two tunnels and sensed the location of the Law of Time. It was closer to the right, so he stepped into the tunnel on the right without hesitation.
The whole tunnel was built with a kind of black stone, exuding a trace of cold air. He did not know what material it was made of.
There were also many traces of battle here. The black walls on both sides had scars from sharp weapons, and there were many cracks on the ground.
It seemed that the black wall seemed to be extremely strong and had not been destroyed in the battle.
In addition, one or two corpses of the disciples of the Truth Sect or the cultivators of the Heavenly Court could be seen in the tunnel from time to time. He did not know if it was because the tunnel was relatively closed, but the Yin Qi in the surroundings slowly began to thicken. Gusts of Yin Qi blew from the front, and a faint whining sound could be heard.
Han Li frowned slightly. He was now surrounded by the Yin Qi in his body, so he subconsciously did not like such an environment. However, he naturally would not retreat because of such a small matter.
This black tunnel was surprisingly long. Han Li walked forward for less than a quarter of an hour, but he still did not reach the end. On the contrary, the tunnel slowly became wider and taller.
The deeper he went, the denser the Yin Qi in the air became, causing the Yin Qi in his body to stir.
Han Li hurriedly used his cultivation method to protect his body, isolating the Yin Qi outside.
He walked forward for a distance, but his expression suddenly changed and he stopped in his tracks.
Although it was very light, there were a few rumbling sounds in front of him, and the ground also shook slightly. It seemed that someone was fighting.
Han Li's eyes flickered slightly, and he muttered something.
A layer of dim light appeared and enveloped his body. He quickly turned into a shadow and flew forward silently.
After flying forward for a while, he reached the end of the tunnel. A gloomy palace appeared in front of him, one after another.
There were passages connecting the various palaces, extending in all directions. It was a dazzling sight.
Han Li identified it and followed the sound of the battle. After passing through more than a dozen palaces, he quickly found the source of the sound. It was a hall with an area of thousands of feet.
There were many thick stone pillars in the hall, and each one was so thick that it would take a dozen people to wrap their arms around it. There were runes inscribed on them, and it was unknown what they were used for.
More than half of the stone pillars in the hall had collapsed, revealing a large space.
In the open space, three practitioners were fighting fiercely with five or six black shadows.
Among the three practitioners, one was a burly man with a body like an iron tower. He wore a blue cloak and was controlling a blue giant sword the size of a door.
The other was a graceful young woman in a purple robe. Her face was covered with a veil, and her face could not be seen clearly. She was surrounded by a strong Devil Qi. She was from the Devil Clan.
The last one was a handsome man in a red robe. His face seemed to be covered with makeup, and he looked somewhat androgynous.
Han Li raised his eyebrows. He knew this handsome man in red. He was Feng Qingyuan, whom he had met in Wild Crane Valley. He did not expect to meet him again here.
It seemed that the Samsara Temple was not the only party coveting the ruins of the Truth Sect. The Heavenly Court had obviously been prepared. However, he did not know where and how they entered this place.
The black shadows fighting with the three of them were black humanoid monsters. They were dozens of feet tall and covered with black hair. They looked like a few black apes.
These monsters had two long dark red horns on their heads. Their eyes were blood-red and flashed with a fierce light. The fangs in their mouths were exposed, and they let out mournful roars from time to time.
"What is this …" Han Li hid behind a stone pillar and was surprised to see these black ape monsters.
These black ape monsters did not look amazing, but their strength was quite extraordinary. Their huge bodies moved like the wind and were extremely hard. They directly collided with Feng Qingyuan and the others' fairy weapons, but nothing happened.
The black ape monsters spat out black flames from their mouths from time to time. The three of them seemed to be very concerned about the black flames and rarely blocked them. Most of the time, they dodged.
Even though Feng Qingyuan and the other two had fallen into a disadvantageous position, it was clear that they were experienced individuals. Thus, they did not panic and continued to fight steadily. No matter how ferocious the black ape monsters attacked, they were still blocked by the three of them.
Han Li looked at the battle in front of him and then looked away. He looked around the hall but did not find any treasures.
It seemed that the three of them were not here to rob the treasures, but they were unlucky and encountered a few ape monsters.
Since there were no treasures here, Han Li did not intend to show up and participate in the battle. He moved and was about to leave quietly.
Just as his body moved, an evil wind came from behind. A black beast claw appeared behind Han Li out of thin air and grabbed at his heart.
Han Li's expression changed. He flew forward like lightning and waved his arm at the same time.
A green sword light flew out from his sleeve and then appeared behind him out of thin air. It quickly chopped at the black beast claw.
"Peng!" A loud sound rang out!
The green sword light trembled and broke into pieces. It turned into a green flying sword and flew forward.
A long scar was left on the black beast claw. It almost split the palm in half.
A massive black ape monster emerged from the darkness beside him, then let loose an enraged roar at Han Li.
This ape monster was at least twice as big as the previous ones. Blood-red patterns could be seen on its black skin and fur, spreading across its entire body, giving it a slightly ferocious appearance. Black energy swirled around its massive body. Shockingly, there was a large, black banner hovering within the black energy. Spiritual light flashed across the surface of the banner and it exuded waves of formidable laws. It was an Immortal artifact.
The black ape monster roared and black light flashed in its palm. The surrounding Yin energy rolled and gathered and integrated into its body.
The scar on its palm healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. It disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Han Li was surprised when he saw this. He waved his hand and recalled the Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword. His figure swayed and landed on the ground.
This exchange of blows had occurred in the blink of an eye. Feng Qingyuan and the others had also noticed the movements on Han Li's side, and they revealed astonished expressions.
The crimson-patterned ape let out a roar. Its huge body turned into a black shadow and flew toward Han Li.
"Hmph!"
Han Li snorted and waved his sleeve. A thick golden electric arc flew out and hit the crimson-patterned ape. It was the Divine Lightning of Warding Evil.
Wherever the golden electric arc passed, the nearby Yin energy was like snow meeting the blazing sun. It disappeared in an instant.
The crimson-patterned ape saw this and was not afraid. It opened its mouth and spat out a black flame.
There was a loud sound!
After the lightning and flame collided, they immediately coiled together. It was like two dragons, one gold and one black, were intertwined. They kept biting and biting each other. It seemed like no one could do anything to the other.
Han Li raised his eyebrows and spat out.
Another green flying sword shot out. Its surface was wrapped in a layer of golden electric arc. It pierced through the lightning and flame at an incredible speed.
With a muffled "Bang" sound, the black flames burst open and turned into remnant flames that drifted away.
The green flying sword continued to shoot out. After a blur, it appeared in front of the crimson-patterned ape and slashed down.
