Chapter 1278

"Ghost Gate... There is a penetrating chill everywhere in this place. Could it be that he has really entered the underworld?" Han Li let out his consciousness to sweep across the blood-red city, touched his nose, and murmured.

The whole big city is not small, but strangely, there is no trace of life, let alone a living person, even a living animal, such as chickens, ducks, dogs and cats, not a single one was found.

It seems that after this "ghost gate", it is really a ghost town.

Crying Soul didn't speak, his eyes crossed the city, fixedly staring at the mid-air behind the city.

Seeing this, Han Li followed the crying soul's line of sight, and his heart moved slightly.

However, in the mid-air behind the blood-colored city, there was a vast expanse of darkness. Upon closer inspection, there was a large black cloud suspended from time to time, which was quite conspicuous in this blood-colored space.

The black cloud slowly turned like a living thing, and there seemed to be something inside, but there was an invisible force in the cloud, which made it impossible for the divine sense to penetrate.

After pondering for a while, Han Li turned on the Nine Nether Demon Eyes and looked towards the clouds.

At this moment, the black cloud shook violently, and a monstrous coercion suddenly emerged from the cloud, and the nearby void rumbled, directly shaking his sight back.

Han Li only felt a sharp pain in his eyes, two lines of blood and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and his body shook accordingly, but he stabilized immediately.

"Master!" Crying Soul exclaimed when he saw this scene.

"I'm fine. This black cloud is too weird, don't use spells to investigate casually." Han Li closed his eyes and said, and then breathed out slowly.

After a while, he opened his eyes, and his eyes had returned to normal.

"This place is not a good place, we still don't want to go down, it's better to leave quickly." Crying Soul glanced at Heiyun, then looked at Scarlet City, and said.

"This scarlet space is very stable. It's not easy to leave if you want, and it's already here, so why not go down and have a look." Han Li said, and then flew towards the scarlet city first.

Seeing Han Li's calm expression, Crying Soul glanced at the black cloud again, and followed closely behind without saying a word.

The two of them landed in front of the city gate. The gate was not closed, but wide open. Looking into the city from the gate, what they saw was a wide avenue that could accommodate more than ten horses. Buildings, those buildings also have their foyers wide open.

It's just that the situation in the city is as if the consciousness had swept it before, and there was really no one there, giving people a strange sense of death.

Crying Soul frowned slightly, subconsciously leaning against Han Li.

"Let's go, I want to know what kind of place this is." Han Li said, stepping into the city.

As soon as Fang stepped through the "ghost gate", Han Li's body trembled for no reason, which made him feel a little surprised, but other than that, he didn't find anything wrong.

He glanced at the crying soul who was following him, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the latter.

With the speed of the two of them, they quickly strolled around the city. The city has all the facilities, which is no different from the ordinary big cities in the real world. There are also tables, chairs, pots and bowls in the residential buildings, and even some residents' There was still some tea and rice on the dining table, but there was no one there.

"How is it possible... Could it be that the people here have just been taken away?" Han Li murmured.

The two were standing in a resident's room at the moment, and some tea was also placed on the table beside them.

Crying Soul seems to have gradually calmed down at this moment, looking around, with a pensive expression on his face, as if he is thinking about something.

Suddenly, she took a few steps forward, picked up a cup of tea on the table, and the tea in it also showed a faint red color.

"Ah!" Crying Soul suddenly showed a look of surprise and ahh.

"What? Did you find anything?" Han Li asked.

"I got it! Master, come with me." Tiao Hun suddenly realized, and then pulled Han Li involuntarily, and rushed out of the city, and soon came to the vicinity of the blood-colored lake.

"What did you find? Why did you come to this lake?" Han Li asked.

"Master, don't ask so many questions, just jump into this lake first." As he said, he jumped into the lake and soaked his body in it, only his head was exposed.

She frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.

Han Li didn't jump down, and used his spiritual sense to explore the blood lake.

There is a faint chill in the lake water, other than that, there is nothing unusual.

"As expected, master, come down quickly!" Tiao Hun showed surprise on his face, and waved his hands to urge Han Li to come down.

Han Li pondered for a moment before flying into the lake.

His brows were suddenly wrinkled together, and his facial features were slightly distorted.

As soon as his body was soaked in the lake water, all parts of his body immediately felt unbearable pain, as if cut by a knife and burned, which made him tremble uncontrollably, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and everything he saw became blurred .

Han Li didn't care if it was an ordinary knife cutting and burning, but at this moment, the pain in his body seemed to directly affect his soul, and with his determination, he couldn't bear it.

It was as if there was an invisible force that wrapped her whole body and stripped something from her body and soul.

"Master, this lake water is Sanshengshui, which can wash away the yang energy in a person's body. Just be patient, and it will be fine soon." The crying soul said hurriedly.

Han Li gritted his teeth and closed his eyes when he heard this.

It took a full quarter of an hour before the pain on his body began to subside, and soon disappeared completely. At this moment, he felt that he didn't feel anything unusual at all, but soaking in this pool of water, he felt an indescribably comfortable feeling.

Han Lichang exhaled, opened his eyes, and found that his sight had recovered, and he was about to stand up from the lake.

"Master, wait a minute, you look at the city first." The crying soul suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Han Li like lightning, not letting him go out, and said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Han Li looked towards the blood-colored city ahead, and his eyes widened involuntarily.

In front of the originally empty blood-red city, there are now two rows of guards in blood-red armor.

Although the guards looked human, they had one horn on their heads, long mouths and big ears, and a long tongue sticking out of their mouths from time to time, like a dog panting. Their looks were terrifying and funny at the same time.

Through the city gate, one can see that the originally empty city has become extremely lively, with people coming and going, which is a joy.

Not only that, figures appeared in the sky above the blood lake from time to time, and they were also people wearing blood-colored armor, holding chains, holding struggling figures one by one, and throwing them into the blood lake.

As soon as those people entered the blood lake, they also let out screams, and bursts of blue smoke rose from their bodies, as if they were corroded by the lake water.

But after a while, the green smoke on those people's bodies will dissipate, and their bodies will become translucent. They will be held in front of the city gate by those blood-armored men and continue to be locked. In the Scarlet City.

Those people in blood armor turned a blind eye to Han Li and Crying Soul in the lake, as if they couldn't see them.

Han Li looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

"These blood-armored people are the messengers of the underworld. They go to various parts of the real fairyland to seduce the lost souls of the dead. They wash away the yang energy in this three-life lake, and then take them to the underworld." Crying Soul said.

"It looks like that...but how do you know about this?" Han Li nodded and asked curiously.

"I just entered Sansheng Lake, when I washed away the yang energy from my body, for some reason, these memories suddenly popped up in my mind." Crying Soul was silent for a while, then said.

"Why do you have these in your memory?" Han Li was startled when he heard this.

"I don't know either, maybe it's because I'm a torture beast, so I'm born with something to do with the Netherland." Crying Soul shook his head and said blankly.

"Maybe." Han Li nodded.

Although there are still many puzzles, he also intends to delve into it. The strange scenes in front of him are already unimaginable enough.

"I used to think that the ghosts were illusory, and I never thought they really existed... But why can't these seductive messengers see us?" Han Li asked with a sigh.

"These envoys and us monks have a relationship between yin and yang. Neither of them can see each other. Only the dead, or those who wash away the yang energy in their bodies through three-life water, can see each other with those envoys. Just in case , I just cast a special secret technique to cover the aura of the two of us, so those ecstasy messengers still can't see us. But I just remembered this technique, and I'm not sure about the effect." Soul explained.

"So that's how it is." Han Li nodded silently, after a moment of contemplation, he jumped up from the lake and flew towards the entrance of the city.

"Master, I said I'm not sure." Seeing Han Li's actions, Crying Soul became anxious and hurriedly followed.

Fortunately, the effect of the secret technique of crying soul was better than she expected, and no one discovered it.

There were only a few envoys guarding the gate of the city, and there was no such thing as a sensory artifact. Naturally, they couldn't find Han Li and the two of them, and they entered the city easily.

"Master, I've said I'm not sure, yet you fly out suddenly, it's too risky." Crying Soul couldn't help complaining.

"I believe your secret technique is definitely useful, and if your secret technique is useless, there is no point in us continuing to hide in the lake." Han Li said with a faint smile.

"I don't know what the master's plan is next?" Crying Soul nodded and asked.

"Follow these people and see how they deal with these souls." Han Li pointed at the envoys in the city.

At this time, the soul seductresses were escorting the souls one by one, and they were walking in one direction in the city. They lined up in a row, which was very eye-catching. The originally lifeless streets were crowded with people at this time. People point and point.

The two mingled among the surrounding crowd like this, followed the ecstasy messenger from afar, and soon came to the gate of a tall building.

Those seductive messengers escorted the souls one by one into the tall buildings, like herding sheep into a pen.

Han Li and Crying Soul looked at each other, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual outside the building, they followed inside.
