"Fellow Daoist Li, it looks like they won't be able to finish it for a while. Do we want to do this?"
Fang Chan looked at Han Li, tilted her head towards the top of the tree and said.
"Senior Brother Luo, the opportunity now is indeed good."
Han Li was also a little moved at this moment, so he sent a message.
"Haha, junior brother, be careful, someone else is coming."
Luo Hong chuckled lightly and answered the question in a different way.
"What!"
Han Li was shocked and quickly looked towards the entrance of the temple.
Almost at the same time, a loud "boom" sound came, and the two heavy doors of the temple suddenly exploded, and large pieces of gravel flew directly towards everyone!
"careful!"
Han Li immediately warned and dodged to avoid an oncoming boulder.
Although the incident happened suddenly, Han Li and others had almost eliminated the enemy, and they all avoided the boulder without any risk.
But the situation with the four Zhuyan people was not good.
"ah!"
Xu Yinglong suddenly let out a scream, and large amounts of blood poured out from his abdomen, mixed with fragments of organs!
It turned out that just now, he was trying to avoid a huge boulder, but several sword puppets found the opportunity and almost cut him in half with one knife!
"Who!"
Zhu Yan was furious, punched hard, and temporarily forced the sword puppet in front of him away, then turned to look at the entrance of the temple.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that the two city lords of Qingyang and Baiyan are here.
Don’t worry, I won’t steal your puppet, I just want the key.”
Along with a burst of laughter, five figures walked into the hall.
Two of them are the city lords of Tongyu and Xuanzhi - Qin Yuan and Fu Jian.
And between the two of them, there was a sinister man with a nose like an aquiline, but it was none other than Shao Ying, the elder of Xuancheng in the early Daluo period!
Behind the three of them, there followed a tall man covered in white bandages, and a short, fat middle-aged man. They were close confidants of Qin Yuan and Fu Jian respectively.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, Fellow Daoist Fu, and we are all monks in Xuancheng. If you had arrived here earlier, we would be willing to share this key with you.
But now that we have almost cleared all the obstacles, is there anything wrong with you just coming here to pick peaches?"
Chen Yang looked at Qin Yuan and others, frowning and saying.
"Ahem. Who wants to share a key with you, a betrayer of the Lord?
Elder Shao, stop talking nonsense with them, please go and stop that Zhu Yan, and we will go get the treasure right now!"
Qin Yuan glanced at Chen Yang with disdain, then raised his hands to Shao Ying beside him.
"you!"
Chen Yang was furious when he heard this, but before he could get angry, Shao Ying had already swooped over, grabbing Zhu Yan's throat with a black iron-like right hand!
"Damn it, Fellow Daoist Li, we all serve the same person, please help!"
Chen Yang instantly analyzed the situation on the field. One person on their side had been seriously injured. The strongest Zhu Yan was still held back by Shao Ying. He and Xuanyuan Xing were left to guard against the sword puppets and deal with Qin Yuan.
The offensive of the four people can be said to be in danger.
As everyone knows, when Chen Yang was transmitting the message, Fu Jian on the other side was not idle either.
"Fellow Daoist Li, as long as you don't lead anyone to take action, our two cities will definitely give you a reward as a thank you gift afterwards!"
"Senior brother, which side should we help? Or should we kill them all?"
Han Li did not respond immediately, but sent a message to Luo Hong for advice.
"Junior brother, just try to persuade him to make peace, there is no need to take action."
Luo Hong replied mysteriously.
"Persuade peace?"
Han Li was confused when he heard this, but he immediately showed a smile and said:
"Everyone, we are all Xuancheng monks, why should we make such a fuss?
At present, there are not many people in Puppet City, so it is not a wise move to engage in uncontrolled internal fighting."
"Stop talking nonsense, if they don't understand current affairs today, they will only die!"
Shao Ying immediately scoffed.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a curse came from the entrance of the temple:
"Bastard! How did I tell you? Have you forgotten everything?"
This voice is not only very majestic, but also contains a strange power that makes the hearts of everyone who hears it tremble.
The expressions of everyone in the hall immediately changed, and they all looked towards the door, only to see four more figures walking in.
The two leaders were a middle-aged man with an unspectacular appearance, and a stout old man with a short stature. They both looked ordinary, but they were none other than Madam Eva and Rikka!
Behind them, a man and a woman wearing bone armor were brother and sister Zhu Ziyuan and Zhu Ziqing.
"Lord City Lord!"
Shao Ying's face was livid. He thought that the previous explanations given by Ebo and him were just some superficial talk, but he didn't expect that they had already entered the Great Ruins and they had to unite as one.
"What are you doing standing still? Quickly get rid of these puppets!"
Ewan said angrily, luckily he arrived in time, otherwise his men would have almost caused a catastrophe!
"It's strange that Ebo would scold Shao Ying for Chen Yang and Zhu Yan. The latter is Elder Xuancheng, his true confidant!"
Han Li was very puzzled when he saw this, but he also understood that Senior Brother Luo had noticed Ebo's arrival before, so he would not let him take action.
"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Brother Wei estimates that this Ewan wants to use the four city lords to do something, otherwise he wouldn't care so much about their life and death."
Luo Hong pointed out at the right time.
Han Li couldn't help but nodded in his mind, secretly wary of this.
Naturally, neither the four of Chenyang nor Shao Ying dared to make any mistakes in front of Ewan.
Therefore, with the joint efforts of the two Da Luo Xuanshi, those sword puppets were quickly dismantled to pieces.
"Meet the City Lord!"
After the temple became quiet, everyone came to Eva and bowed respectfully to him.
"City Master Qin, City Master Fu, you two are really good at it. Before you even touch a hair of the secret treasure and the enemy doesn't know where he is hiding, you just started fighting among yourself. Do you really like to kill each other so much? Huh?!"
Ewan looked at Qin Yuan and Fu Jian with a gloomy face, releasing his aura that was as terrifying as an ancient wild beast.
"I don't dare! I just want to keep the key in my own hands and present it to the city lord myself. That's why I am so eager to take credit that I have a conflict with Daoist Zhu and Daoist Chen!"
Qin Yuan quickly explained with sweat on his head.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Qin, you are very articulate now. You are not wheezing or coughing at all."
How could Chen Yang miss such an opportunity? He immediately laughed sarcastically.
"This matter is indeed our fault for being greedy for merit. We will definitely compensate Baiyan and Qingyang City in the future. I hope the city lord will forgive me!"
Fu Jian ignored Chen Yang and followed Qin Yuan's words and begged for mercy.
"Hmph, I'm thinking of you because of my Xuancheng plan. I won't punish you today. When I return in the future, I won't be able to argue with you anymore!"
E Pang obviously wanted to lift it up high and put it down gently. After giving a lesson, he calmed down and looked at Han Li with a smile:
"Friend Daoist Li, I never expected that among these people, you are the one with the most overall view.
Very good, now it’s up to you to collect the Holy Key.”
Suddenly, everyone present, including Han Li, looked stunned.
When all the Ewan people arrived, they did not collect the holy key themselves. Instead, they wanted to use it to reward people based on their merits. This is really incomprehensible.
"Junior Brother Han, there is no need to be confused. He has probably sensed the holy key in your body, so he simply asked you to keep one more, and he will eventually take it out anyway."
Luo Hong promptly clarified Han Li's doubts.
"I see, that makes sense."
When Han Li heard the words, he had an instant realization. He didn't refuse immediately, thanked him and jumped up to the giant bronze tree.
Although this holy key was also protected by star restrictions, this was undoubtedly not a problem for Han Li, who quickly integrated the second holy key into his body.
"Dong dong dong!"
There was a rapid heartbeat, and the two holy keys changed slightly when they met, and they started beating like a heart at the same time.
Immediately, a stream of heat flowed out from the two holy keys and poured into Han's body, causing his blood to surge rapidly and a mysterious orifice was opened!
Surprised, Han Li quickly restrained his aura, but still exposed a hint of it, causing everyone to look at him sideways.
"May I ask the city lord, what kind of place can this key open?"
Han Li calmly diverted everyone's attention.
Hearing this, Equan did not expose Han Li. Instead, he first talked about the Holy Key, and then said emphatically:
"There is a skeleton with endless power hidden deep in the ruins. It is a treasure with truly earth-shaking power. As long as we get the scaly claws of that skeleton, we will gain great benefits.
This time Sha Xin and I came here to fight for the bones!
In addition, you can also find many treasures from heaven and earth that you have not seen along the way, in the resting place of that skeleton!
This is a great opportunity, and each of us can return home with a full load. There is no need to fight among ourselves, just be careful about the puppet city!
Although he had already eaten the big cake once, Eva spoke vividly, and even he showed a look of extreme desire, which immediately aroused everyone's greed again.
This was exactly the result that Ewan wanted to see. Fortunately, Han Li had already known about the Jilin Saint Remains and was not deceived at all.
"Fellow Daoist Li, we must not let E Pang get that skeleton, otherwise we will all die!"
Chenyang suddenly sent a message.
"Friend Daoist Chen can't even be honest with each other, so don't waste your breath anymore."
Han Li now has no trust in Chen Yang and is unwilling to listen to him at all.
"Oh, that's all, since Fellow Daoist Li must know, Chen will not hide it from you anymore.
In fact, Chen was not a Xuanshi from Qingyang City at first, but practiced in Xuancheng.
Back then, Chen Mou and his brother Chen Lie were both spies trained by Ewan, and they would be sent by him to lurk in other cities in the future.
In order to be qualified for this task, we have all undergone rigorous training.
But during the final assessment, we were all arranged to assassinate each other!
In the end, my brother died in my hands, and from that day on, I vowed to make Equan pay with his blood!"
Chenyang sighed and revealed his grudges with Ewan.
"It's amazing. This Chen Yang is really capable of pretending, and he can pass this kind of obedience test. If he had hesitated even a little bit when killing his brother, or showed a little bit of sadness afterwards, he wouldn't be alive today!"
After Luo Hong heard this, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable for Chen Yang.
"Senior Brother Luo, what do you think of Ewan?"
Han Li didn't care much about Chen Yang's tragic experience. He wanted revenge and there was no reason for him to risk his life.
"He must die, but there is no need for us to get involved in Chen Yang's plan. Brother, I have other preparations."
Luo Hong also wanted E Pang to die, but in a more special way.
"Understood."
Han Li instantly knew what was right and immediately promised Chen Yang that as long as Ewan showed signs of being unfavorable to them, they would take action immediately, otherwise they would not get involved.
"Okay, when we leave here, we must not let the people from Puppet City get ahead of us."
With an order, Ewei led everyone towards the outside of the temple.
However, just after leaving the house, the entire temple began to shake violently, and cracks appeared on the walls, which continued to grow larger, causing countless rubbles to fall.
This situation was exactly the same as when Han Li took away the first holy key.
Qin Yuan and others couldn't help but feel a little panicked when they met for the first time.
"Don't panic, it's just a landslide."
At this time, Equan spoke calmly, then waved his sleeves and shot out a white light that shot into the sky.
As soon as the white light left Ewan's sleeves, it quickly grew in size and became brighter, turning into a white light column dozens of feet long, with hot arcs flashing in it, making a shuddering crackling sound.
.
With a loud "boom", a large hole was blasted out of the top of the entire underground space by a white beam of light, leading directly to the ground above, allowing them to clearly see the thick yellow clouds in the sky.
Seeing this power, everyone could not help but deepen their awe for Equan.
Then, without any urging, everyone jumped into the pit, and with a few uses of force, they easily reached the ground.
As soon as everyone left the altar area, the entire altar collapsed completely due to the shaking of the ground and sank into the ground.
"Don't look at it, as soon as the altar sinks, a large number of puppets will come out.
Although we are not afraid of them, there is no need to waste time on them, so just leave here with me."
Eva had obviously seen the army of puppets that emerged after the altar sank. With a warning, he began to run out of the city.
Having obtained enough puppets before, Han Li immediately led his men to keep up with the large retreating troops.
Not long after, a large number of red-armored puppets crawled out of the ground, and their moving speed was much faster than the previous wolf-headed puppets.
Chen Yang and others were all somewhat injured, unable to exert their full speed, and seemed to be about to be overtaken.
"Fellow Taoist Liuhua."
Upon seeing this, Ebo called Mrs. Liuhua.
The latter understood it instantly, stretched out his hand and touched it on his waist. A gray light flashed in his palm, and a gray incense burner appeared.
The stars on the incense burner were dotted, and it was also a star weapon. As Madam Liuhua chanted the magic formula, a large amount of gray smoke swarmed out from the burner, spread quickly, and formed behind everyone.
There was a smoke miasma thousands of feet long.
As long as those red puppets are covered by gray smoke, their movements will immediately become sluggish, but they will have no effect on Han Li and the others.
"Is it similar to the star weapon of the Bafang White Jade Pillar? This Mrs. Rikka is really capable of many tricks!"
Han Li immediately saw that the magical power of Hui Yan was similar to the mysterious weapon used by Luo Hong to suppress the abbot Ji Lishi, but the effect was much different, but the range was extremely large.
