After almost a stick of incense, Luo Hong approached the dilapidated palace.
I saw a gray-black palace building at the foot of a black mountain peak that reached straight into the clouds, like a black sky pillar.
Its scale is so huge that it is difficult to see its entirety at a glance, but it is unknown what happened and now most of it has collapsed.
Luo Hong did not hesitate, chose a high road, and walked into the palace.
But before he could explore further, a dull sound of footsteps came from the front.
Soon, a yellow puppet several feet tall walked out of a corner, its bright yellow eyes still scanning, as if on patrol.
This puppet looks like a long-armed giant ape. It is wearing a thick armor that is mostly broken. It is holding an old saw-tooth sword in its hand. It is unknown how many years it has been washed away by time.
However, Luo Hong could see at a glance that the armor and sword were still shrouded in white light, emitting slight fluctuations of star power.
Obviously, they are all satellites!
The moment it discovered Luo Hong, the giant ape puppet let out a low roar, raised its sword in its hand, and struck down at Luo Hong from the air.
Suddenly, a star blade shot out and hit Luo Hong's neck.
Seeing this, Luo Hong didn't panic. He struck the air with his palm and blasted out an invisible force that not only shattered the star blade, but also the giant ape puppet immediately fell into pieces.
Picking up the serrated sword that had fallen aside, Luo Hong found that the runes on it were very similar to Madam Rikka's Star Restriction, but she was not surprised.
After all, using the power of the stars in the Jiling Sky Realm is something that anyone can think of. This place has existed for a long time, and it is not surprising that there have been weapon refiners who can compare to or even surpass Mrs. Rikka.
Throwing away the sword in his hand, Luo Hong continued to move towards the depths of the palace. He encountered many puppets along the way, but gained nothing.
It seems that this place has been looted before, and there are no valuable treasures at all.
After a while, Luo Hong came to a tall silver-gray building, which looked like an altar and was surrounded by buildings around the square like stars.
This altar is made of huge silver-gray boulders. It is extremely strong and has been well preserved.
There is a plaque above the entrance to the altar, with the three characters "Yesha Hall" written in Xuan script on it.
"It turns out this is here."
After seeing these three mysterious texts and combining them with the memory of the original time and space, Luo Hong immediately figured out where he was in the Great Ruins.
The door of the altar was open, but only a few feet of the interior was revealed. The rest of the area was shrouded in darkness, which made people feel a little intimidated.
But Luo Hong was not afraid, and walked through the door and entered the altar with a gun case as tall as a person on his back.
As soon as he entered the altar, a bone-deep chill enveloped him, and Luo Hong kept walking forward.
The next moment, there was a "boom", and a large hole suddenly exploded in the ground not far in front of him. A black ape about ten feet tall jumped out of it. With a wave of his right arm, a white sword light shot towards Luo Hong's neck.
Cut it off!
"clang!"
However, Luo Hong seemed not to have been attacked by a sneak attack. He stretched out his sword fingers and clamped the incoming white scimitar firmly.
Then, with a little effort, he easily broke the white scimitar, and with a flick of his wrist, the broken blade shot towards the black ape.
Just hearing a "puff", a wound suddenly penetrated the black ape's chest.
But the strange thing is that there is no blood flowing out of it, but instead a large number of complex mechanisms are exposed.
It turns out that this guy who looks like a scaled beast is actually a puppet.
This puppet-making method is obviously quite similar to the puppet city's method.
Luo Hong's backhand blow successfully shattered the core of the black ape's puppet. It fell straight to the ground like a zombie and stopped moving.
After dealing with the guard-like puppet, Luo Hong continued deep into the altar. He walked through a long corridor and came to a square hall.
I saw that the roof of the hall was inlaid with hundreds of white fluorite, emitting bright white light, illuminating the hall extremely brightly.
This made Luo Hong notice at a glance the large number of stone statues placed in the hall.
These stone statues are lying or standing, with different expressions on their faces. Some are full of excitement, and some are full of pain. Their appearance and expression are all the same, and they are all lifelike, as if they are living people who have been possessed by the magical power of petrification.
Just when Luo Hong was about to look away, he suddenly saw a five-foot-tall stone statue that resembled a six-armed king and suddenly twisted its neck.
Immediately afterwards, the stone statue waved its six arms and smashed them towards Luo Hong!
"Bang!"
All six huge arms hit the place where Luo Hong was standing, creating a large dent and causing the entire hall to tremble.
Luo Hong, who had jumped back to dodge, landed on the palm of a stone statue. He glanced at the hall and said in a deep voice:
"I wonder which fellow Taoist is joking with Luo, but do you dare to come out and see him?"
Luo Hong was sure that the one who attacked him was just a puppet, and the spatial pressure in the Great Ruins was stronger than that in the rest of the Jilin Sky Realm. Everyone's consciousness would be greatly suppressed, so the person behind it must also be the one behind it.
In this hall.
"Master Luo, I didn't expect that the first person Guo met in the Great Ruins would be you. Is our Puppet City's heaven-level beast core useful?"
The Six-Armed King's lips turned, and a man's voice came out.
However, Luo Hong was certain that the other party was not among the puppets, but was using them to transmit sounds.
"It's easy to use, Luo has already refined it all."
Luo Hong said it truthfully.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's good that you can refine a heaven-level beast core in such a short period of time. If you are wise, please quickly hand over the remaining heaven-level beast core and swear allegiance to my puppet city!
In this case, Guo will spare your life today!"
The Six-Armed King threatened in a cold voice.
"Fellow Daoist Guo is very confident. How did you know it wasn't Luo who spared your life today?"
Luo Hong would not cooperate, so he sneered immediately.
"You are just a weapon refiner and you dare to show your teeth, no matter what, Guo will let you see our puppet city's methods today!"
Having said that, the Six-Armed King stopped talking nonsense and opened his six palms together, with a long whip drilled out of each palm.
As the six palms of the Six-Armed King clenched again, a large number of silver electric snakes immediately appeared on the six long whips.
The next moment, whips roared, and the silver electric light weaved into a net, covering Luo Hong fiercely.
However, Hidden in the dark, City Master Guo did not see the slightest look of panic on Luo Hong's face. Instead, he saw him standing motionless.
"Are you scared? It turns out that the weapon refiner is not good at it."
As soon as the thought came up, countless whip shadows fell on Luo Hong, and the harsh "snap" sound kept coming.
But soon City Lord Guo showed a look of horror on his face, and Luo Hong, who endured his killer move, was actually unscathed!
"How is this possible! He is just a Taoist in the early stage of Taiyi, but the power of my killing move is enough to make the Taoist in the later stage of Taiyi retreat!"
City Lord Guo couldn't believe his eyes at this moment, thinking that even if the information was inaccurate, it wouldn't be so outrageous!
"Haha, I found you!"
At this moment, Luo Hong, whose whole body was filled with silver electric light but still looked like a normal person, suddenly turned his head to look at the hiding place of City Lord Guo, and showed a kind smile.
"Not good! I just lost my mind and leaked my breath!"
City Lord Guo was shocked, and without thinking, he ordered the Six-Armed King to abandon his useless long whip and rush forward to stop Luo Hong, while he fled towards the depths of the altar.
Seeing this, Luo Hong's smile did not change, and he kicked the six-armed King Ming away, causing him to hit the fleeing Lord Guo directly.
With a "boom", one person and one puppet immediately collided together, and then fell into a ball, destroying several stone statues in a row.
When Lord Guo stood up, vomiting blood, he immediately saw Luo Hong approaching step by step.
"Fellow Taoist, it's not going to work anymore, is it? Is this the only way you can do it?"
Luo Hong looked at the embarrassed Lord Guo with a mocking expression.
I thought he was diligent, neither stealing nor robbing, earning heaven-level beast cores with his own hands, but this guy actually wanted to rob him, a sure way to die!
"Don't be so arrogant. Since you want to lose both sides, Guo will make it happen for you!"
Realizing that he couldn't do anything unless he tried his best, City Master Guo's eyes flashed with purple light, and he used all his strength to cast the spell - Soul Dispersing Needle.
So what if you hide your Xuan Dao cultivation?
As long as I use Shinto means to severely injure you, you will have no choice but to be slaughtered by me!
But he never expected that as soon as the purple light in his eyes dissipated, a sharp pain as his soul was pierced by thousands of needles suddenly came, making him wail crazily.
Luo Hong, on the other hand, only paused in his steps. Only after seeing City Lord Guo's reaction did he realize what had happened.
"It's been so many years since anyone dared to use spells against Luo, but you are brave enough."
Having said that, Luo Hong didn't want to tangle with the other party any more, so he stepped forward and turned him into a painting on the wall of the hall.
"This puppet is pretty good. It's a pity to leave it here."
Looking at the six-armed king who fell motionless on the ground, Luo Hong activated his immortal power, opened the treasure bag at his waist and took it in.
Afterwards, Luo Hong continued walking towards the depths of the altar along a corridor behind the hall.
Not long after walking, the road ahead began to extend underground. After a full stick of incense, a white exit appeared in front of Luo Hong.
Passing through the entrance, Luo Hong suddenly felt enlightened, and a huge underground square appeared in front of him.
Luo Hong took a casual glance and found that the underground space was much larger than the surface.
There are quite a few buildings in the square, with beautifully carved railings and paintings, which are very different from the rough style of Xuancheng.
And just like the upper level, there is nothing valuable here, and the number of puppets that jump out to attack from time to time has increased a lot.
Of course, when they were at their peak, these puppets were probably at the peak of Jinxian's strength. Today, they are even weaker. They are no match for Luo Hong, and they were all destroyed by him casually.
After a while, Luo Hong's consciousness suddenly noticed some movement, and immediately turned his eyes and stared at a circular black stone temple.
After a few leaps, they arrived in front of the stone palace. Before Luo Hong saw the situation in the palace, he heard the fierce sounds of fighting.
Looking inside, there were quite a lot of people in the palace, as many as six, and Luo Hong was very familiar with three of them.
One of them is wearing a green shirt, one is holding a sword-shaped star weapon, and the other is wearing purple hair and white armor. They are Han Li, Gu Qianxun and Shi Chuankong respectively.
The other three were all dressed as Puppet City monks, but Luo Hong had never seen them among people appearing in public in Puppet City.
Fortunately, one of the leaders, Luo Hong, had met them before, so it was not difficult to guess their identities.
That person was none other than Shi Chuankong’s eldest brother—Shi Zhanfeng, the eldest prince of the demon royal family!
As for the two people beside him, one is tall with sharp features and is wearing a jet-black magic armor. His temperament is somewhat similar to that of Zhu Yan, but his cultivation is quite different, but he is comparable to the late Taiyi.
.
The other one is petite, with a graceful figure and charming but not gaudy appearance. He holds a white bone soft whip, which is probably the replacement of the purple and green girls.
From a superficial point of view, the six people in the palace belong to Xuancheng and Puppet respectively, so they should be in clear camps.
But at this time, the situation in the palace was quite complicated. I saw Shi Chuankong lying in a big pit after being severely injured. There were many blood stains on his body, and Gu Qianxun was adding insult to injury, trying to take away his body.
life.
Of course Han Li didn't allow it, and he was standing with Gu Qianxun at the moment.
Shi Zhanfeng and the other three were also seriously injured. They were standing on the edge of the pit, watching the fight between Gu Qianxun and Han Li.
"Gu Qianxun, you dare to attack my junior brother, don't you want the antidote?"
Although the situation in the palace is complicated, Luo Hong has the memory of the original time and space, so it is not difficult to guess what happened before.
It was simply that Shi Zhanfeng encountered Shi Chuankong after entering the Great Ruins, and then launched a siege against him.
At the critical moment, Shi Chuankong could only activate the Sky-Breaking Boundary Talisman given to him by the Third Prince, trying to teleport himself out of the scale-accumulating sky realm.
But the Third Prince himself also wanted to kill Shi Chuankong. The Sky-Breaking Boundary Talisman was actually the Sky-Breaking Boundary Talisman. Its power was activated even if Shi Chuankong was protected by an exotic treasure, but he almost died.
Shi Zhanfeng and the other three were injured only when they were affected. Shi Zhanfeng himself even had an arm broken off by the blast.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, I have no intention of becoming your enemy, but I must kill this person. Please help me persuade Daoist Friend Li."
Seeing Luo Hong's arrival, Gu Qianxun showed a look of reluctance on his face, but he did not dare to make a mistake and took the initiative to step back and stop.
"Are you from Shi Po Kong?"
Luo Hong asked directly.
"How do you know?"
Gu Qianxun was shocked when he heard this, obviously he did not expect that his hidden identity would be easily revealed by Luo Hong.
"This is not simple. You are obviously not on the same side as the eldest prince and the others, and you were ordered to kill Shi Chuankong. Of course, only his third brother can do it."
Luo Hong said matter-of-factly as he approached.
"Brother Luo, why does Third Brother want to harm me? Although I have had some thoughts before, I have never put it into practice. My mother clearly told us to support each other before she died! Why did he want to kill me?!"
Shi Chuankong got the strength from nowhere at this time, propped himself up, and asked Luo Hong excitedly.
"Luo doesn't want to explain it twice. How about your highness don't leave in a hurry and stay and listen?"
When Luo Hong heard this, he shook his head first, and then looked at Shi Zhanfeng, who was about to lead people to retreat.
