The first thousand two hundred and seventy-six chapters wash the sun into the city
"Ghost Gate... There is a creeping chill everywhere in this place. Could it be that you have really reached the underworld?" Han Li released his spiritual sense and swept over the blood-red city, touched his nose, and murmured.
The entire city is quite large, but strangely, there is no trace of anger. Not to mention a living person, even a living animal, such as chickens, ducks, dogs and cats, has not been found.
It seems that after this "Ghost Gate", it is really like a ghost town.
Tihun didn't say anything, his eyes crossed the city and stared at the air behind the city.
Seeing this, Han Li looked at Tinghun's gaze and felt a little moved in his heart.
But I saw a vast sky behind this blood-colored city. When I looked closely, there was a large cloud of black clouds floating, which was quite conspicuous in this blood-colored space.
The black cloud slowly rotated like a living thing, and there seemed to be something inside, but there was an invisible force contained in the cloud, which made the spiritual consciousness unable to penetrate.
After Han Li pondered for a moment, he turned the Nine Nether Demon Eyes and looked into the clouds.
At this moment, the black cloud shook suddenly, and a huge pressure suddenly emerged from the cloud, and the nearby void rumbled, directly shaking his gaze back.
Han Li felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and two lines of blood and tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes, and his body shook, but immediately stabilized again.
"Master!" Tihun saw this scene and exclaimed.
"I'm fine. This black cloud is too weird. Don't cast spells casually to investigate." Han Li said with his eyes closed, then slowly breathing.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and his eyes had returned to normal.
"This place is not a good place, so we should not go down. Why not leave quickly." Tihun glanced at Heiyun, then looked at the blood-colored city, and said so.
"This blood-colored space is very stable. You can't just leave if you want to. And you've come here, so why not go down and take a look." Han Li said, then flew towards the blood-colored city first.
Seeing Han Li's calm look, Tihun looked at the black cloud again, and followed closely without saying a word.
The two of them flew before the city gate. The gate was not closed, but was open. Looking from the door towards the city, you can see a wide avenue that can accommodate more than ten horses, with tall buildings on both sides of the street, and those buildings were also open in foyer.
But the situation in the city was like the one who swept the spiritual sense before. It was really not a single person, giving people a strange sense of dead silence.
Tihun frowned slightly, and subconsciously leaned against Han Li.
"Let's go, I want what place this is." Han Li said, stepping into the city.
Fang Yi crossed the "ghost gate", and Han Li shivered for no reason, which made him feel a little surprised, but other than that, he did not find anything wrong.
He glanced at the crying soul that followed, as if the latter was not at all unusual.
At the speed of the two, they quickly walked around the city. The city was equipped with facilities, which was no different from the ordinary big cities in the True Immortal Realm. There were tables, chairs, pots and bowls in the buildings of residents, and even some residents had some tea and meals on the dining tables, but there was no one.
"How is it possible... Could it be that the people here have just been captured?" Han Li murmured.
The two were standing in a residential room at this moment, with some tea placed on the table next to them.
At this moment, the crying soul seemed to have gradually calmed down, looking around, mumbling on her face, as if she was thinking about something.
Suddenly, she took a few steps forward and picked up a cup of tea on the table, which also showed a faint redness.
"Ah!" A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Tihun's face, and a screamed.
"What? Have you found something?" Han Li asked.
"I understand! Master, come with me." Tihun screamed in anger, then pulled Han Li without saying a word, then ran out of the city, and soon arrived near the blood-colored lake.
"What did you find? Why did you come to this lake?" Han Li asked.
"Master, don't ask so much, jump into this lake first." Tihun said, jumping into the lake, soaking his body in it, revealing only one head.
Her eyebrows frowned slightly, but they quickly stretched out.
Han Li did not jump down and used his spiritual sense to explore the blood lake.
The lake water was filled with a faint yin and cold air, and nothing was unusual.
"Sure enough, master, come down quickly!" Tihun showed surprise on his face and waved his hand to urge Han Li to come down.
Han Li pondered for a moment and flew into the lake.
His brows suddenly frowned and his facial features were slightly distorted.
As soon as his body was soaked in the lake, his whole body was immediately painful, like a knife cutting fire, causing him to tremble continuously, and his eyes were covered with a layer of fog, and all the scenery he saw became blurred.
If it was an ordinary knife cut and burned, Han Li didn't care, but the pain in his body seemed to directly affect his soul. With his firm mind, he could not bear it.
It is as if an invisible force wraps his whole body and strips something from his body and soul.
"Master, this lake water is the Three Life Water, which can wash away the yang energy in a person's body. If you endure it for a little, it will be cured soon." Tihun said hurriedly on the side.
When Han Li heard this, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes and endured it.
After a quarter of an hour, the pain in his body began to subside and soon disappeared completely. At this moment, he felt that he didn't feel anything strange at all, but instead soaked in this pool of water, feeling indescribable comfort.
Han Li breathed a long breath, opened his eyes, and found that his vision had recovered, and was about to stand up from the lake.
"Master, wait a moment, you can look at the city first." The crying soul on the side suddenly reached out and pressed Han Li like lightning, preventing him from going out, and whispered.
When Han Li heard this, he looked at the blood-colored city ahead, and his eyes widened.
In front of the originally empty blood-colored city, two rows of guards wearing blood-red armor were standing.
Although the guards looked human-shaped, they had a horny head, long mouths and ears, and long tongues in their mouths and stretched out from time to time, as if they were breathing from dogs. They looked terrifying and a little funny.
Through the city gate, I saw that the originally empty city became extremely lively, and people came and went, and it was a lot of fun.
Not only that, figures appeared on the blood lake from time to time, and people wearing blood armor were also wearing chains, holding struggling figures, and throwing them into the blood lake.
As soon as those people entered the Blood Lake, they screamed loudly, and bursts of blue smoke appeared on their bodies, as if they were corroded by the lake water.
However, after a moment, the blue smoke on those people would dissipate, their bodies would become translucent, and they were taken to the city gate by the blood-armored people and continued locks, lined up, checked in the city, and then entered the blood-colored city.
Those people with blood armor ignored Han Li and Ti Hun in the lake, as if they could not see them.
Han Li looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.
"These blood-armored people are soul-catching messengers from the underworld. They go to all parts of the True Immortal Realm to capture the souls of the lost dead people, wash away all their yang energy from this Three Life Lake, and then take them to the underworld." Tihun said.
"It looks like this... But how do you know this?" Han Li nodded and asked curiously.
"After entering the Sansheng Lake, when I washed away the yang energy of my body, for some reason, these memories suddenly popped up in my mind." Tihun was silent for a while, and then said.
"How come these things happen in your memory?" Han Li was stunned when he heard this.
"I don't know either. Maybe it's because I am a punishment beast, and I'm born with what is the connection with the underworld." Tihun shook his head and said blankly.
"Maybe." Han Li nodded.
Although he still had a lot of confusion, he also planned to delve into it. The strange scenes in front of him were already incredible enough.
"I used to think that the things in the underworld were illusory, but I didn't expect that they really existed... But why can't these soul-catching messengers see us?" Han Li sighed lightly and asked.
"These soul-catching messengers and our cultivators have a relationship between the two poles of yin and yang. They can't see each other. Only those dead people, or those soul-catching messengers, can see each other with the soul-catching messengers just in case. Just in case, I used a special secret technique to cover the breath of me and the two of us, so those soul-catching messengers still couldn't see us. However, this technique was something I just remembered, and I have no idea how effective it is." Tinghun explained.
"So that's it." Han Li nodded silently, pondered slightly, jumped up from the lake and flew towards the entrance of the city.
"Master, I was not sure about it." Seeing Han Li's actions, Tihun was very anxious and hurriedly followed.
Fortunately, the secret technique of Tinghun was better than she expected and was not discovered.
There were only a few soul-catching messengers guarding the city gate, and there was no such presence as the sensory immortal weapon. Naturally, they could not find Han Li and the others. They entered the city easily.
"Master, I'm not sure, you suddenly flew out. This is too risky." Tihun couldn't help complaining.
"I believe your secret technique will definitely be useful, and if your secret technique is useless, it will be meaningless for us to continue hiding in the lake." Han Li said with a faint smile.
"I wonder what the master has next?" Tihun nodded and asked.
"Follow these people and see what they should do with these souls." Han Li stretched out his hand and pointed at the soul-catching messengers in the city.
The soul-catching messengers were escorting their souls at this time, walking in a direction in the city, lined up in front and back, which was very eye-catching. The streets that were originally dead were crowded with people at this time. Many people stopped and looked at them, pointing at the soul-catching messengers and their group.
The two of them mingled in the crowd around them, following the soul-catching messenger from afar, and soon arrived at the entrance of a tall building.
Those soul-catching messengers escorted their souls to walk into tall buildings one by one, as if they were driving sheep into the pen.
