Chapter 451: The Palace
Han Li only felt a flower in front of him, and in a burst of light and shadow, his figure had already appeared in a completely new environment.
He was a little stunned, and his eyes swept around, only to see that the terrain around him was flat, and as far as the eye could see, there was a barren red earth, and there was not a single grass growing on it, and not even the shadow of a living creature could be seen.
Lu Yuqing was not far from him, and he gradually came back to his senses at this moment.
Not far in front of the two of them, a small whirlwind swept by, and a puff of red sand and smoke was lifted on the ground, and the air was filled with a desolate atmosphere.
Han Li's gaze slowly swept around, but his brows couldn't help but frown.
Just now he wanted to release his divine sense to explore this place, but he found that he was imprisoned by an inexplicable force outside his body, and his movement was unhindered, but his divine sense could not be radiated out of his body at all.
"How big is this Immortal Mansion, and how strange is it?" Han Li sighed and couldn't help but mutter.
"When I was a child, I once flipped through an ancient book from my father's study, and it is said that the earliest ancient name of the Northern Han Immortal Domain was called 'Dark Cold Immortal Domain', but later I didn't know what happened to change the name. It would not be surprising if this Immortal Mansion was related to the ancient name of the Immortal Domain, and the area was vast and strange. Lu Yuqing was not much surprised by this, and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Han Li was about to speak, but his expression suddenly froze, his mouth opened slightly, and he stopped there.
"Brother Han, what's wrong with you?" Lu Yuqing was startled when she saw this, and hurriedly asked.
"It's nothing, I suddenly remembered something......" Han Li paused, waved his hand, and said vaguely.
Lu Yuqing let out an "oh", doubting what he said, but he didn't ask anything.
Han Li's gaze flickered and drifted in a direction deep into this red earth wasteland, but his brows furrowed involuntarily.
In fact, it wasn't a sudden thought that interrupted him, but the Wheel of Truth in his body.
For some reason, from the moment he started, as long as he looked in that particular direction, the time pattern on the Truth Wheel would begin to flicker, as if he had sensed the power of the law of time.
"Brother Han, the divine sense can't be explored, where should we go next?" Lu Yuqing glanced around and asked.
"Let's go here first. Han Li hesitated for a moment and said, pointing in the direction of the Truth Scroll.
"Good. Lu Yuqing glanced at him, nodded and said.
With a wave of his palm, Han Li summoned the cyan spirit boat, and after beckoning Lu Yuqing to get on the boat, it turned into a streamer of light and galloped towards the depths of the Red Earth Wasteland.
Flying high in the air, the whistling wind in his ears suddenly intensified, and Han Li's gaze wandered, scanning the wasteland below.
Looking down from the sky, you can see that the terrain of the wasteland is not really a flat river, and you can still see the protrusions and ridges and mountains on the ground, but they are too far away from ordinary mountains, and at best they are a small hill.
The deeper you go, the more complicated the scene on the ground becomes, in addition to the high ground of the beams, there are also plains and ravines of different depths on the earth, which seem to be caused by the washing of flowing water, but the middle of them has long since dried up, and there is no trace of running water at all.
Flying out of the scene for about half an hour, Han Li suddenly raised his eyebrows, and saw that at the end of his line of sight, a red clay ruin in the shape of a city had appeared, and he hurriedly accelerated and rushed over.
Near the edge of the city, the cyan flying boat fluttered down and stopped in front of a moat more than ten feet wide.
Naturally, Hanoi is also dry, and there is no water stain on the cracked riverbed.
Han Li and the others looked over the railing, and they saw that the city wall on the other side of the moat was high, and it looked quite complete, but there were many dense cracks on the masonry on the surface, some of which were cut by sharp weapons, and some of which were shaken open by a huge force, which was shocking.
The two of them were silent all the way, and walked along a stone bridge not far away towards the city.
As he walked up to the middle of the stone bridge, Han Li suddenly caught a glimpse of half a white dry bone exposed above the riverbed, which looked like a piece of strange beast horns, as thick as an adult's arm, with a certain curved arc.
Han Li stopped, raised his sleeve and waved, a blue light spread through, seemingly inconspicuous, but in an instant, a large area of riverbed soil was lifted, revealing a complete white skeleton.
Seeing the whole picture of this skeleton, Lu Yuqing let out a light "huh", and a trace of surprise flashed on her face.
Han Li couldn't help but look surprised.
The skeleton was in a strange shape, and it was impossible to see what the original appearance was, and the only thing that was certain was that it must have been a behemoth with a body size comparable to that of a mountain giant ape.
The white bone that Han Li had guessed was its sharp horn before was actually just a piece of its teeth.
"Brother Han, do you recognize what this beast is?" Lu Yuqing wondered.
"There is not a trace of breath left on this beast's body, and I can't tell what it is with a skeleton alone. Han Li shook his head and said.
As he said this, he couldn't help but think of the murals he had seen in the hall near the Elixir Garden before, and the strange beasts painted on them seemed to be somewhat similar to this beast?
Thinking of the tragedy of the war depicted on the mural, Han Li suddenly had a guess in his heart, could it be that the battle depicted on the mural happened here?
As soon as this idea arose, he himself denied it, the scale of the mural war was too large, and if it really happened here, there would definitely be no buildings left in this city, and it would definitely be completely razed to the ground.
The two walked across the stone bridge and came to the gate of the city wall, and when they looked up, they saw that the city was broken and rocky.
Directly below the head of the city, there are three silver-white characters engraved: "Moon River City".
Passing through the city gate, just after stepping out of the shadow of the doorway, Han Li's heart suddenly palpitated, and he couldn't help but stop.
The dozen clusters of Dao patterns on the Truth Treasure Wheel in his body flickered, and his sense of the power of the law of time suddenly became more and more intense.
Han Li frowned slightly, and when he looked towards the city, he saw that the city was already full of ruins, and there were collapsed and collapsed ruins everywhere, and under many of the crumbling walls, some white bones could be faintly seen.
Among them are both monster bones and humanoid bones, but they are all decayed.
The two of them rushed all the way to the inner city along the main road in the city, and there was such a bleak scene along the road, until they walked to the core area of the north of the city, and saw a golden palace more than 100 zhang high in the distance.
Compared to all the buildings they had seen along the way, the golden-domed palace was so well preserved, except for the slight signs of collapse above the roof and many cracks in the walls.
In addition, the golden light outside the hall is very bright, as if it is also coated with a layer of golden light, which is reflecting the sun's rays and shining brightly.
Han Li was about to step forward when the storage bracelet in his hand suddenly heated up, and there was a slight movement inside.
He frowned slightly, and when he stopped, he flipped his palm and took out a jade box that was glittering.
Just hear a soft "click".
Han Li opened the jade box, revealing a round gray eyeball that looked like it had been carved out of stone, but a gray-white halo was constantly rippling out of the surface.
"What is this?" Seeing this, Lu Yuqing on the side took a few steps closer with some surprise and asked.
"The beast is too one-eyed. Han Li said indifferently.
Seeing that Han Li didn't want to say much, Lu Yuqing's eyes narrowed slightly, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Han Li stared at Tai Fei for a moment, and found that there was only a faint halo on it, and there were not many fluctuations, and he couldn't see any doorway for a while, so he had to hold it in the palm of his hand and continue to rush towards the direction of the Golden Palace.
He and Lu Yuqing walked all the way, and when they approached the place where the golden palace was a hundred zhang away, Han Li's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he pulled Lu Yuqing past him, dodged to the ruins of a low wall, and hid.
On the side of the golden palace, under the golden palace gate dozens of zhang high, there was a silver-robed woman, who was holding a magic trick in one hand and a broken golden ring knife in the other, casting a spell towards the palace gate.
"Why is she?" Lu Yuqing glanced over through the low wall, a little stunned.
Hearing this, Han Li hurriedly raised a finger and made a gesture of silence.
Although the divine consciousness was forbidden here, the other party was a Golden Immortal Cultivator after all, and they spoke out rashly, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would not be discovered.
That woman Han Li also knew, it was none other than Qu Ling.
There was a string of ancient runes engraved on the ring knife in his hand, and wisps of golden light burst out from it, connecting with a strange circular pattern on the golden temple door, as if it was breaking the prohibition on the door.
Whether it was the Ring Sword in Qu Ling's hand or the golden hall door, Han Li could feel the obvious fluctuations of the law of time from it.
He frowned, cautiously poked out half of his head, and looked over there, only to notice that not far from Qu Ling's side, there was a strange figure crouching.
It was just squatting there, its body was seven or eight feet tall, and at first glance it looked like a yellow wall, but if you looked closely, you could notice that its bare body was also covered with strange spiritual patterns.
Because he had his back to him, although Han Li saw what it looked like, he couldn't help but think of another giant figure in his mind, the one-eyed giant "Tai Fei" that he had killed back then.
Although the body size between the two is very different, whether it is the body contour, skin color, or the strange spirit patterns on the body, they are almost identical.
The more Han Li looked at it, the more doubts he felt in his heart, and he subconsciously glanced at the one-eyed one in his hand.
At this moment, the pale white halo that had flickered above the single eye suddenly radiated a dazzling light, like a bright lamp, suddenly shining in the night.
The strange figure that had been squatting on the ground stood up, turned around, and revealed an ugly face with a collapsed nose and a wide mouth, with no eyes above its nose, only a huge erect eye in the center.
It was a monster that was one size smaller.
I saw a roar come out of the beast's mouth, and the light in the single eye on its head flashed, and a thick white light shot out from it, heading straight for Han Li and the two of them to hide.
"Bad ......"
Han Li let out an exclamation in his mouth, grabbed Lu Yuqing's wrist, and pulled her violently, while flying high, dodging the ray, and falling towards the main road leading to the Golden Palace.
The figures of the two of them were completely exposed.
