"This underground palace is the same as the other underground palaces in Hong Yue City. The stench of blood lingers in the air, and the ground is covered in Yin soil. It is obvious that this is a place where living beings are slaughtered all year round.
As for the people that were brought into the underground palace, apart from cultivators, they are all mortals with spiritual roots and vigorous blood Qi. I fear that they will be used as sacrificial offerings. "Han Li explained with a solemn expression.
"Gongshu Hong cultivates the Law of Blood. Could it be that this method is so evil that it requires the blood of living beings to cultivate?" Jiao Shiliu asked in surprise.
"If that is the case, why don't they start the blood sacrifice immediately? Why do they have to go through another round of selection?" Jiao Jiu asked doubtfully.
"According to my guess, the reason why they first picked out those with good cultivation aptitudes was to train them into blood-robed high-grade cultivators for Gongshu Hong to order around. In order to prevent these people from leaking the secret, they should have placed some kind of restriction in their souls.
As for the rest … I am afraid that once the selection is complete, the real sacrifice will begin, "Han Li answered.
"Based on the situation, there should be some time left. It should be enough for us to capture this person and leave this place," Jiao Jiu glanced at the short Loose Immortal and transmitted his voice.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud buzzing sound in the surrounding space.
A strange scene appeared!
Blood-red lines suddenly appeared on the surrounding walls and spread out like a spider web. In an instant, they covered all the surrounding walls.
After these crimson veined patterns flashed, they blossomed like a flower, revealing many eyes shimmering with crimson light. They squirmed incessantly as if they were alive, creating an extremely bizarre sight that would cause one's hair to stand on end.
Everyone's bodies were dyed blood-red, and the stench of blood in the surrounding air became ten times thicker.
In the underground space, when everyone saw what was happening around them, many people began to look terrified.
Jiao Jiu moved his mouth and was about to say something.
Another buzzing sound came from the surroundings. Those blood-red eyes suddenly shone brightly, and rays of blood-red light shot out from those blood-red eyes. They were as dense as rain, and they covered the entire underground space. There was no way to dodge.
Every single blood light emitted waves of inexplicable Law fluctuations.
Han Li and the other two were shocked.
Although they did not know what the blood-red light was, it was clearly not something that would benefit them.
At Han Li's behest, a translucent barrier of light appeared over his skin at his behest.
At the same time, he waved his hand and summoned a yellow mirror and a green scepter. They flashed and turned into two halos, one yellow and one green, that enveloped his body.
These two magic treasures were obtained from the Icy Crystal Race's Mahayana Tuha. He had casually refined them and brought them with him.
Jiao Jiu reacted very quickly. He formed a hand seal with both of his hands and of his hands. Blue water ripples appeared around his body and formed a layer of water. of Jiao Jiu of of his body of water.
Jiao Sixteen waved his hand and summoned a large green umbrella. As it spun above his head, dazzling green threads of light fell from the umbrella, forming a green ball of light that enveloped his body.
Of of of of Of Of of.
It's clearly not time yet … "A hint of astonishment flashed through the short Loose Immortal's eyes when he saw the blood-red eyes appear around him.
His body shuddered as if he was quite fearful of the crimson light. He opened his mouth and spat out a crimson flag. The flag spun in the air and transformed into a crimson light barrier that protected his body.
The blood-red light that flew out from the surrounding blood-red eyes was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they all fell on the bodies of the people in the space.
The magic treasure light around Han Li and the others was useless. With a flash of blood light, it easily penetrated everyone's defense and entered their bodies.
Han Li's expression changed, and he immediately spread his Divine Sense all over his body.
However, when that strange blood light entered his body, it disappeared without a trace, causing his heart to skip a beat.
"Bang bang … Bang bang …"
At this moment, a strange vibration suddenly rang in Han Li's ears.
He did not know why, but his heart suddenly beat violently uncontrollably, and it seemed to be beating faster and faster!
The blood in his body flowed many times faster, and all the meridians in his body became extremely hot. The magic power in his dantian was also affected by the beating of his heart, and it began to become unstable.
Jiao Jiu and Jiao Jiu of Jiao Jiu of Jiao Jiu exclaimed, and it was obvious that they were in the same situation as Han Li.
"What is this thing!"
"I feel so uncomfortable …"
"I can't take it anymore …"
"Ah!"
A series of muffled sounds came from all directions, mixed with mournful screams.
Han Li and the others looked up.
They saw that the bodies of the mortals and low-level cultivators around them had been hit by the blood-red light. Their skin immediately turned blood-red, and they trembled uncontrollably.
Then, with a bang, their bodies swelled up and exploded, turning into a thick blood mist.
In the time of a few breaths, the hundreds of thousands of people around them had all exploded, turning into blood mist, and the entire underground space was filled with blood mist.
The blood-red eyes blinked, and the blood mist quickly gathered in the space, condensing into a blood cloud. The originally crowded underground space became empty, and the field of vision became wide.
Far away from Han Li and the others, there were four figures, their bodies covered in different colored lights. They were Jiao Ba and the others.
They did not know when they had snuck in here.
When Jiao Jiu and Jiao Shiliu saw this, they were happy.
No matter what, it was exciting to meet the same person in such a strange situation. If the seven Perfected Immortals worked together, they would definitely find a way to resolve this situation.
Han Li quickly looked at the blood cloud in the sky, and his heart sank. Green light shone from his body, and he tried his best to circulate the magic power in his body. At the same time, he used some secret techniques to try and calm the changes in his body.
Unfortunately, no matter what he did, he could not make the situation in his body better. His heartbeat became faster and faster.
An invisible force appeared in his body, and it moved toward his heart.
However, his body was the opposite. It was filled with another force, and it quickly expanded.
A strange layer of blood red appeared on his skin, but the color was very faint.
Han Li's heart skipped a beat, and he could not help but think about the situation of the mortals and low-level cultivators exploding.
At the same time, the skin of Jiao Jiu and Jiao Shiliu, as well as Jiao Ba and the others in the distance, was also covered in a layer of strange blood red.
However, what surprised them was that even the short man in the purple robe on the high platform was in the same situation as them. His expression was ferocious, and he seemed to be in pain.
However, they did not have the time to care about him.
At that moment, the situation was obvious.
They thought that they had successfully snuck in, but in fact, they had been discovered by Gongshu Hong, who had trapped them underground. In order to make it look like nothing had happened, Gongshu Hong was even prepared to sacrifice his Itinerant Immortal subordinate.
As they thought about it, the surrounding blood-red eyes continued to blink, and rays of blood-red light continued to shoot out.
Although everyone tried their best to dodge, they were still hit by the blood-red light.
Every time a ray of blood-red light entered their bodies, a strange power of law would invade their bodies, and their hearts would beat faster.
In a few breaths, everyone present looked like they were in pain. Their hearts were beating like thunder, and it seemed like they were about to jump out of their bodies.
Among the seven of them, Han Li was probably the only one who was in a good situation. He had already cultivated a True Extreme Body, and his body was indestructible. His heart was the same, and it was far more resilient than an ordinary cultivator.
Although his heart was beating faster and faster, he could still bear it.
Jiao Jiu's face was gloomy. At that moment, he no longer concealed his magic power. As he muttered something, countless blue runes flew out of his body, intertwining to form a thin shield.
Although the shield looked thin, there was a water light flowing on its surface, and it emitted a strong fluctuation of the law of water.
When the blood-red light hit the blue shield, although it could still easily penetrate it, it was clearly weakened.
"So that's how it is. Only the power of law can resist the power of law …" Han Li thought to himself.
Although Han Li and Jiao Jiu seemed to be fine, Jiao Shiliu was in a bad situation.
Although he had used all his skills, his body, which was covered by several layers of light shields, was slightly swollen. His skin was bright red, and blood was seeping out of his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
"We can't stay here for long. Let's find a way to leave this place!" Jiao Jiu shouted in a deep voice. Blue light wrapped around his body, and he shot into the sky.
Jiao Shiliu did not say anything and immediately followed.
Han Li was the least affected by the blood-red light, but this place was too strange. He did not want to stay here and be plotted against, so he followed.
In the distance, Jiao Ba and the others seemed to have thought of something, and they all flew into the sky.
In mid-air, Jiao Jiu waved his arm, and a blue flying knife flew out of his hand. In a flash, it turned into a giant blue knife that was dozens of feet long. With a thunderous rumble, it slashed at the stone wall at the top of the space.
However, at the moment when the giant blue knife hit the wall, something strange happened.
A large amount of blood-red light appeared on the wall without warning, forming a blood-red light screen. Inside the screen, there were countless runes, circling around it.
"Dang!" A loud sound rang out!
The giant blue knife seemed to have hit a gold stone, but the blood-red light screen was unscathed. It did not even flicker, and it was as stable as a mountain.
Jiao Jiu's face changed.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a loud roar was heard.
A triangular black awl, which was wrapped in black light, flew out from Jiao Shiliu's body.
Jiao Shiliu's eyes were filled with anxiety, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, which disappeared into the black awl.
The black awl shone brightly, and it rotated quickly. Countless small runes appeared on its surface, and black lightning coiled around it like snakes, producing a shocking sound of thunder.
Wherever the black lightning went, the void shook violently, and black cracks appeared.
