Chapter 109: A Preliminary Exploring of Red Moon City
"When they are now, they are already like this. We speculated that it should be the hands of the scattered immortal who ambushed us." Jiao Jiu, who had a sheep mask, took his eyes back from the corpse on the ground and said.
"After learning about the situation here, Jiao Ba and I rushed to our respective destinations. As expected, all the people who had infiltrated before disappeared without exception." Jiao San said in a deep voice.
"Along the way, except for some cities empty, it is said that they were going to the Holy City to make a pilgrimage, there seemed to be no other abnormalities. As for the pilgrimage, the results of our investigation were similar to those of Jiao Jiu and others. It should be a way for Gongshuhong to collect the power of faith." After a moment of pondering, the monkey-faced Jiao Ba said.
"Have you ever noticed that among these pilgrims, it is said that some so-called devout believers will be selected and will no longer return to their original city after the pilgrimage?" Han Li said suddenly.
"There is indeed something that is said to be moved to a richer city. It may be just a means for Gongshuhong to enhance the conviction of the believers... By the way, the three masters Jiao and I did not encounter the ambush from each other. It seems that this person has been wary of our Wuchang Alliance. The accuracy of the information obtained in the alliance before is worth pondering." Jiao Ba was a little distracted and said with a change of tone.
"Yes, the other party may have grasped some of the whereabouts of us and deliberately led us to the scene with false information. It was just a bit wrong to estimate our strength. Let's not talk about the others, but Gongshuhong would never be in the six or seven places mentioned before. Instead, it is a bit possible in the so-called holy city Red Moon City. It's better to go there and see what you might get." Jiao Jiu smiled bitterly and then suggested.
"When it comes to this, there are twenty-eight states in Hongyue Island, and it seems that each state has a city, which is called Hongyue City." Jiao Ba shook his head and said when he heard this.
"You're serious?" Jiao Jiu was slightly stunned.
"In the map I got before, although there was a place called Red Moon City, when we passed by a certain city, we accidentally found the so-called Red Moon City they mentioned, but in another direction. At first we didn't care too much, but then we found that it was not the case. Although we only passed by a few states, we deliberately paid attention to each state with a Red Moon City." Jiao Ba said, raised his sleeves and five jade slips flew towards Han Li, Jiao San and other five people.
After Han Li and others took the jade slip, they all released their spiritual senses and penetrated them.
The map in the jade slip has many more signs than what you got before. Except for the previous Red Moon City, a Red Moon City was also marked in the other states.
Each prefecture and county has a very vast territory. If a high-level monk deliberately conceals it, it is impossible for mortals or even low-level monks to realize this.
"The cities passing through the island only sell maps of a certain area, and there has never been any maps of the entire island for sale. Now it seems that Gongshuhong is intentionally doing this. And the monks under this person should have been given a special restriction, so they cannot disclose this matter, otherwise their souls will explode and die. Even the map we obtained before was deliberately leaked to us by the other party." Jiao Jiu nodded and said slowly.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
After all, judging from the clues we have obtained so far, the whereabouts of Gongshuhong, the target of this trip, have become a mystery, which is indeed a bit tricky.
But Han Li suddenly thought of something and put the jade slip he had just put down on his forehead again, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
"Now since there are no other clues, start investigating the Red Moon City. All of you act together to investigate the Red Moon City one by one." Jiao San suddenly spoke.
"Sir Jiao, aren't you with us?" Jiao Jiu was stunned.
"I'm acting alone. What do you find out, and send me a message." Jiao San glanced at everyone, then a red light flashed on his body, and his entire body suddenly rose into the sky without any concealment and flew towards somewhere.
"It seems that the three masters of Jiao are planning to go to find Gongshuhong openly. Let's do as he told me. This is Lanzhou, and the Hongyue City here is not too far from here." The monkey-faced Jiao Ba coughed lightly and said.
The others immediately changed their appearance and left the courtyard, mixed in the crowd, heading out of the city.
"You guys wait for a while. I have some trivial matters to delay everyone's time." Han Li suddenly spoke when he passed by a street.
After saying this, he quickly walked into a shop selling various books by the roadside without waiting for everyone to respond.
The others were slightly stunned, but after looking at each other, they didn't say much.
Not long after, Han Li walked out and had a few more books in his hand, which seemed to be some of the geographical environment of the island.
"I've been waiting for a long time." Han Li nodded to the people and collected the books in front of them.
The group quickly left Longhu City and came to a secluded place. Then they used their own means to soar into the sky.
Jiao Jiu once again sacrificed the previous blue crystal flying boat, carrying Jiao Shiliu and Han Li, whose vitality had not yet been fully recovered. This move made Jiao Ba and others look at him.
Han Li stood on the spiritual boat, looked at the big river near Longhu City below, then sat cross-legged, took out the classics, and flipped them carefully.
Jiao Shiliu was a little surprised by Han Li's actions, but he ignored it and restored his own energy.
Han Li quickly finished reading these classics, and after pondering for a moment, he took out the jade slip given by Jiao Ba again and explored it into it.
At this moment, the sky gradually dimmed, and stars appeared in the sky.
A group of seven people rushed forward, and most of the day later, they stopped in front of a big city.
This city is the Hongyue City of Lanzhou. It has a strong and wide surface. It is far above Longhu City. A river hundreds of feet wide winds through the city.
The entire city was shrouded in a huge blue ban, and waves of light like water waves appeared on it from time to time, which was quite mysterious. Through the blue light, you could only blur the outline of the city inside.
However, at the entrance of the four city gates, east, west, south, north and north of the city, the blue light ban left four gaps for people to enter and exit.
There were some monks wearing Blood Moon Blue Robes guarding the four cities, checking the pedestrians entering and leaving.
"If I guess correctly, this should be the famous Thousand Light Illusion Wave Forbidden. This ban has average protection ability, but it is extremely sensitive to spiritual consciousness." Jiao Ba looked at the blue ban and murmured to himself.
"This city has such strict defense. Could it be that this is the nest of Hongyue Island?" Jiao Eryi, who was following Jiao Ba, was delighted and said.
Hearing this, the eyes of the others lit up.
"No matter whether it is, go in and take a look first. Please pay more attention and try to restrain your spiritual consciousness and do not touch the formation restrictions." Jiao Ba reminded in a deep voice.
Listening to Jiao Ba's order-like tone, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Jiao Jiu's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
Seven people fell in a secluded place outside the city and sneaked into the crowd.
Although there were also god-level monks guarding the city gate, they naturally could not see through Han Li and others' disguise, and the seven people successfully entered the city.
The ground in the city is paved with large bluestone slabs, which is 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 crowded at this moment, and the huge square in the center is densely packed with people. The same is true on the streets everywhere, at least there are millions of people.
At this moment, everyone respectfully worshiped the statue in the center of the square, and the entire city was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
"This is..." Han Li was stunned when he saw this in the city.
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's eyes flashed with blue light and looked around, frowning slightly.
Although there are many people in the city, most of them are mortals without magic power. Although there are also monks, they are all low-level monks who refine qi and form elixirs.
There are also some monks in the city wearing Blood Moon Blue Robe, but their cultivation is not high. Similar to those who are guarding the gate, they are all in the Nascent Soul Stage and the God Transformation Stage, and there is not even a cultivator for refining Voids.
Here, it doesn't look like the place they are looking for.
The others obviously noticed this at this moment, and their faces were slightly dark.
"No matter what, let's explore this city first, maybe we can find some clues." Jiao Ba said.
When the others heard this, they nodded one after another, discussed it briefly, and finally decided to disperse their actions.
The city is too large, and it is difficult for everyone to use their spiritual sense on a large scale. Moreover, everyone is in the city anyway, even if there are any enemies here ambushing, they have time to respond to each other.
After the negotiation, everyone quickly separated.
Han Li walked along a street, his eyes flashing blue light, exploring everything around him.
His figure has become vague at this moment, blending with his surroundings.
The crowd on the street was quietly worshiping, and walking around alone attracted some attention, so he simply cast a spell to hide his body.
A moment later, Han Li appeared in front of a shop on the street, which was a shop selling classics.
At this moment, the entire city was making a pilgrimage. Although these shops were opening their doors to welcome guests, there were no customers inside, and only a middle-aged shopkeeper was guarding the store.
Han Li flew in in a flash, and then walked out after a while.
He did not delay any further and carefully investigated all parts of the city.
The Red Moon City is quite large, and it took half a day to search the entire city and gather together in a secluded place in the city.
Unfortunately, no one showed any abnormality.
This Red Moon City seems to be just an ordinary big city with no special features.
"It seems that this is not the old nest of Hongyue Island. Since that's the case, we don't have to continue wasting here..." Jiao Ba said.
"Fellow Taoist Jiaoba, wait a moment, there is something strange underground." A voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Jiaoba's words, but it was the Jiao Twenty-five.
