Chapter 109: First Exploration of Red Moon City
"When I found them, they were already like this. A few of us speculated that it should be the hand of the scattered immortal who ambushed us. Jiao Jiu, who was wearing a sheep's head mask, took his eyes back from the corpse on the ground and said.
"After learning about your situation here, Jiaoba and I then rushed to our respective destinations, and as expected, all the people who had infiltrated before disappeared without exception. Jiao San said in a deep voice.
"Along the way, apart from the fact that some of the cities were empty, and it was said that they were making pilgrimages to the holy city, there seemed to be nothing unusual about them. As for the pilgrimage, the results of our investigation are similar to those of Jiaojiu, and it should be a way for Gong Yihong to collect the power of faith. Monkey-faced Jiao Ba said after a deep groan.
"Have you ever noticed that among these pilgrims, it is said that there will be some so-called pious people who will not return to their original city after the pilgrimage?" Han Li said suddenly.
"Indeed, there is such a thing, and it is said that they were moved to a more fertile city, which may be just a means to increase the convincing power of the believers...... Having said that, the three Jiao and I were not ambushed by the other party, and it seems that this person has been wary of our Impermanence Alliance for a long time. The accuracy of the information obtained in the previous alliance is also worth scrutinizing. Jiaoba was a little unimpressed, and said sharply.
"Yes, the other party may have grasped some of the whereabouts of our people, and deliberately set up a situation with false news to lure us forward, but it is just a little miscalculated about our strength. Leave the rest aside, but this Gong Yihong will never be in the six or seven places mentioned before, but there is a little bit of the so-called Holy City Red Moon City, it is better to go there and have a look, maybe there will be something to gain. Jiao Jiu smiled bitterly, and then proposed.
"Speaking of which, there are twenty-eight states in the size of this Red Moon Island, and it seems that each state has a city, which is called Red Moon City. Hearing this, Jiaoba shook his head and said.
"Is this true?" Jiao Jiu was slightly stunned.
"In the map we got before, although there is a place called Red Moon City, when we pass by a certain city, we accidentally find that the so-called Red Moon City in their mouth is in another direction. At first we didn't pay much attention to it, but then we realized that it wasn't. Although we have only passed through a few states, we have carefully noticed that there is a Red Moon City in each state. Jiao Ba said, his sleeve robe was raised, and the five jade slips flew in front of Han Li, Jiao San and the other five people.
After Han Li and the others caught the jade slip, they all released their divine senses to probe into it.
The map in the jade slip has a lot more marks than the previous one, and in addition to the previous Red Moon City, in the rest of the states, there is also a Red Moon City.
Each of these states and counties is very vast, and if the high-ranking monks deliberately conceal it, it is impossible for mortals or even low-ranking monks to find out about it.
"The cities that the island passes through only sell maps of a certain area, and there are never any maps of the whole island for sale, which now seems to be an intentional act of the public. And those monks under this person should have been given some kind of special ban, so they can't reveal this matter, otherwise their spirits will burst and die. Even the map we got before was deliberately leaked to us by the other party. Jiao Jiu nodded and said slowly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
After all, judging from the clues obtained so far, the whereabouts of the target of this trip have become a mystery, and it is indeed a bit tricky.
Han Li suddenly thought of something, and put the jade slip he had just put down on his forehead again, a hint of discoloration flashing in his eyes.
"Now that there are no other clues, let's start investigating from those Red Moon Cities. All of you will work together to explore all of the Red Moon Cities. Jiao San suddenly spoke.
"Jiao Sanren, aren't you with us?" Jiao Jiuyi was stunned.
"I'm on my own. If you find something, send it to me. Jiao San glanced at everyone, and then the red light on his body flashed, and the whole person rose into the sky without concealing his breath and flew towards somewhere.
"It seems that the three Jiao people are planning to go to Nagong to lose Hong. Let's do as he instructs, this is Lanzhou, and the Red Moon City here is not too far from here. Monkey-faced Jiaoba coughed lightly and said so.
The others immediately disguised themselves and left the courtyard, blending in with the crowd and heading out of the city.
"Everyone, wait a minute, I have some trivial matters to delay you a little. Passing through a street, Han Li suddenly spoke.
After saying this, he didn't wait for everyone to respond, and walked quickly into a shop selling all kinds of books on the side of the road.
The others were slightly stunned, but after looking at each other, they didn't say much.
It didn't take long for Han Li to walk out, with a few more books in his hand, which seemed to be about the geography of the island.
"I've been waiting. Han Li nodded at the others, and put the books away in front of them.
The group quickly left Longhu City and came to a secluded place, and then each used their own means to rise to the sky.
Jiao Jiu once again sacrificed the previous blue crystal flying boat, carrying Jiao Sixteen and Han Li, whose vitality had not yet fully recovered, which made Jiao Eight and the others look sideways.
Han Li stood on the Spirit Boat and glanced at the Great River near Longhu City below, then sat down cross-legged, took out a book of classics, and carefully flipped through them.
Jiao Sixteen was a little surprised by Han Li's actions, but he didn't pay attention to it, and his luck recovered.
Han Li quickly finished reading these classics, and after a little muttering, he once again took out the piece of jade slip that Jiao Ba had given him earlier, and his divine sense probed into it.
At this moment, the sky gradually darkened, and a few stars appeared in the sky.
A group of seven people galloped away, and after most of the day, they stopped in front of a big city.
This city is Lanzhou Red Moon City, the area is very large, far above Longhu City, a large river hundreds of zhang wide meanders through the city.
The entire city was shrouded in a huge blue prohibition, and from time to time there were bursts of water waves of luminous light, which was quite mysterious, and only the outline of the city inside could be vaguely seen through the blue light.
However, at the entrances of the four gates in the east, west, north and south of the city, the blue light ban has left four gaps for people to enter and exit.
The four gates were guarded by monks in the blue robes of the Blood Moon, checking on pedestrians entering and leaving.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the famous Thousand Light Phantom Wave Forbidden, this prohibition has average protection ability, but it is extremely sensitive to divine consciousness. Jiaoba looked at the blue ban and muttered to himself.
"This city is so tightly defended, could it be that this is the old nest of Red Moon Island?" Jiao Twenty-eye, who was following behind Jiao Ba, said with a smile.
Hearing this, the eyes of several other people also lit up.
"Whether it's or not, let's go and see first. You should pay more attention, try to restrain your divine sense, and don't touch the formation prohibition. Jiao Ba said in a deep voice.
Listening to Jiaoba's command-like tone, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Jiaojiu's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
Seven people landed in a secluded place outside the city and blended in with the crowd entering the city.
Although the gate of the city was also guarded by god-level monks, they naturally couldn't see through the disguises of Han Li and the others, and the seven of them entered the city smoothly.
The ground in the city is paved with wide bluestone slabs, which is clean and tidy, and the streets are lined with shops, which looks very prosperous.
Two wide avenues connect the four gates, dividing the city into four parts, with a large square in the center of the city and a huge statue in the center.
The city was overcrowded at the moment, and the huge square in the center was even densely packed with people, and the streets were the same, at least millions.
At this moment, everyone looked respectful towards the statue in the center of the square, and the whole city was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
"This is ......" Seeing this situation in the city, Han Li was stunned.
Everyone else was a little surprised, but then they all understood.
The scene in front of me is probably the so-called pilgrimage.
The blue light in Han Li's eyes flashed as he looked around, his brows furrowed slightly.
Although there are many people in the city, most of them are mortals without mana, although there are also monks, but they are all low-level monks who refine qi and form pills.
There are also some monks in the city who wear blood moon blue robes, but their cultivation is not high, similar to those who guard the door, they are only at the level of the Yuan Infant Stage and the Transformation Stage, and they don't even have a single cultivator.
It didn't look like the place they were looking for.
The others had apparently noticed this at the moment, and their faces were slightly gloomy.
"Either way, let's take a good look at the city first, and maybe we'll find some clues. Jiaoba said.
When the others heard this, they nodded their heads, and after a little discussion, they finally decided to disperse their actions.
The area of the city is too large, and it is difficult for everyone to use their divine consciousness on a large scale, and everyone is in the city anyway, even if there are any enemies in ambush here, they will have time to meet each other.
The deliberations were settled, and the people soon parted.
Han Li walked down a street, blue light flashing in his eyes, probing everything around him.
His form now became like nothing, blending in with his surroundings.
The crowd on the street was silently worshipping, and walking around alone was a bit noticeable, so he simply cast a spell to hide his figure.
A moment later, Han Li appeared in front of a shop on the side of the street, which was selling books.
At this moment, the whole city is on pilgrimage, and although these shops are opening their doors to welcome customers, there are no customers inside, only a middle-aged shopkeeper guarding the store.
Han Li flew in with a flicker, and walked out again a moment later.
He didn't delay any longer, and carefully explored all parts of the city.
The area of this Red Moon City is not small, and it took half a day for the seven of them to explore the entire city and gather together in a secluded place in the city.
Unfortunately, no one made any unusual discoveries.
This Red Moon City seems to be just an ordinary big city, and there is nothing special about it.
"It seems that this is not the old lair of Red Moon Island, and even so, we don't need to waste ...... here," Jiaoba said.
"Jiaobadaoyou, wait a minute, there is something strange underground. A voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Jiaoba's words, but it was Jiao Twenty-five.
He was half-crouching on the ground at the moment, and his body emitted circles of yellow ripples visible to the naked eye, and he sank into the ground.
