Chapter 951 Sudden Appearance
Han Li ignored the suction from the bronze tree, carefully looked at the white beam of light on the top of the tree, and his thoughts turned.
He found that the patterns on it were somewhat different from those seen in the previous temple, but they all belonged to the same root, so it was not too difficult to decipher.
So, he took out the Xinglan pen from his pocket, and drew runes around the beam of light.
The so-called practice makes perfect, although Han Li still can't reach the point of making perfect, but the speed is much faster than before, and he has completed the description in a short time.
Accompanied by a rippling white light, the beam of light dissipated, and the bloody key naturally fell into Han Li's hands.
At the same time, the adsorption force on the Bronze Monster Tree also disappeared.
"You're looking for death..." Shao Ying thought he had been fooled by Han Li and Chen Yang, and was furious.
His legs slammed on the branch, breaking off a piece of the bronze branch, and rushed towards Han Li violently.
The latter took Shi Chuankong one step ahead and flew down.
Before Shao Ying came to chase him again, Han Li held the key in one hand, gathered above his head, and shouted loudly:
"You don't want to get too far. If you want to fight forcibly again, at worst, I will crush this thing, and we will have a dead end. No one will lose the slightest benefit."
As soon as this remark came out, Shao Ying was really cautious and dared not move again. He stood on the top of the tree and looked down at Han Li, his face sinking like water.
The other fighters in the hall also stopped and retreated to the two sides.
"Fellow Daoist Li, since you have already chosen to stand by and watch, why bother to get involved?" Fu Jian frowned, his eyes were not kind.
Han Li held the key and stood behind his back, without explaining anything.
"It doesn't seem like City Master Fu can dictate how we Qingyang City people do things?" Chen Yang said with a hey.
"Ahem...Fellow Daoist Fu, it seems that we fell into their tricks from the very beginning, mistakenly thinking that they were alienating themselves, but we didn't realize that it was just a show for us..." Qin Yuan coughed lightly and said.
"Boy, if you dare to play tricks on us, you are afraid that if I give up this key, will I really fight you to death?" Shao Ying said sternly.
"Shao Ying, what bastard are you talking about?" At this moment, another shout came from outside the temple.
Immediately afterwards, four figures walked in from the outside.
Among the two leaders, one is a middle-aged man with an unattractive name and appearance, and the other is a short and stout old man. They don't seem to be eye-catching, but they instantly attract the attention of everyone in the hall.
It was because these two people were none other than Xuancheng's city lord, Ejiu, and Mrs. Liuhua.
And the pair of handsome men and women wearing bone armor behind them are Zhu Ziyuan and Zhu Ziqing's brother and sister.
When Chen Yang saw E's sudden appearance, his expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but take half a step back. Han Li saw it, and his doubts became even more serious.
"See City Lord E..." Seeing this, everyone stepped forward to salute.
"City lord, subordinate..." Shao Ying stepped forward, bowed down, and was about to speak, but E's face turned cold, and he swung out his sleeve suddenly, knocking him to the ground.
After the latter got up, he hurriedly bowed again, not daring to say another word. Seeing this, Qin Yuan and the others also changed their expressions greatly, with fear in their eyes.
Seeing this, Han Li couldn't help clenching the palm of his hand holding the blood-colored key a little bit, his eyes dimly scrutinized E's face, weighing in his heart whether to hand over the key, or threaten to destroy the key again.
E's face was slightly concentrating, and when his eyes swept over Han Li and the others, there was a little approval in his eyes, and when he saw Shi Chuankong standing behind Han Li, he was only a little surprised, not too much. Multiple reactions.
But when his eyes fell on Qin Yuan and the others, his expression suddenly sank, and he sneered:
"City Master Qin, City Master Fu, you two are really good at it. Before you touch a hair of the secret treasure, you start to fight back in the nest. Why... you guys like to kill each other so much?"
"Don't dare. I want to keep the key in my own hands so that I can present it to City Lord E. I just wanted to fight for success for a while, so I conflicted with fellow Daoists Sun and Daoist Chen..." Qin Yuan quickly explained.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Qin is very eloquent at this time, and he's not panting or coughing anymore?" Sun Tu sneered.
"Seize the key, each according to his own ability. If I were to fight against the puppet city, I would not say much, and I would even reward you, but it is really unreasonable for you to kill each other." Ezhao's face softened a little, and he looked angry. After a while, he opened his mouth and said.
"This matter was caused by our greed for merit for a while, and we will definitely compensate Baiyan and Qingyang cities in the future, and I hope the city lord will forgive us." Fu Jian followed Qin Yuan closely, caught a "greed for merit", and said hurriedly.
"I think you are also for our Xuancheng's great plan. Let's not deal with it today. When you return in the future, you must make a good apology to Sun Daoyou and Chen Daoyou. Since the key is obtained by Qingyang City, let this fellow Daoist Li keep it for the time being." , no one should have the heart to snatch it again. Afterwards, we need to work together to obtain the treasure." Eyao pondered for a moment and said.
A battle of interests turned into a struggle for merit. Although Sun Tu and others were dissatisfied, they stopped talking.
"City Master E, since you have arrived, there is no reason for me to keep this key. Naturally, it must be handed over to City Master E." Han Li stepped forward, spreading his palms and said.
"Everyone may not know that there are five bloody keys in total. Only one of them can be used to open a forbidden area in the depths of the Great Ruins and obtain its treasures. Only one is not very useful. Since this key was obtained by Fellow Daoist Li Yes, then leave it to Fellow Daoist Li for safekeeping until you get to the treasure place." Eyao glanced at the key and said with a smile instead of picking it up.
When Han Li heard this, he didn't continue to evade, and took advantage of the opportunity to put the key in his arms.
"Boom" Boom "Boom"
There was another rush of heartbeats, and this bloody key seemed to echo the previous one, and they both started beating at the same time like a heart.
Immediately afterwards, another stream of heat flowed out of the bloody key and poured into Han Li's body.
Accompanied by this beating, a wave of hot air infiltrated from the bloody key and poured into his body. Han Li instantly felt that not only the energy and blood in his body surged rapidly, but even the power of the stars was mobilized.
The mysterious orifice in his body that was about to be opened finally penetrated at this moment.
While Han Li was pleasantly surprised, he hurriedly suppressed the power of Qi, blood and stars in his body, not daring to show his changes.
But even so, everyone still noticed something strange and looked at him.
"May I ask City Lord E, what is the treasure in the depths of the Great Ruins?" Han Li asked calmly in order to divert everyone's attention.
"A long time ago, it was said that there is a skeleton with infinite power hidden in the depths of the Great Ruins. Good." Eku said slowly.
What can be said to be of great benefit is naturally far from being comparable to ordinary things.
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed slightly, and there was more or less yearning and greed in their eyes.
Han Li's heart moved when he heard the words, and he couldn't help but think of the "Scaled Sacred Relic" mentioned by Shi Chuankong before. However, according to what he said, it seems that Eyao came here for another purpose, but he doesn't know what it is.
He quietly glanced at Shi Chuankong, seeing his indifferent face, turned his gaze, and glanced at Chenyang again.
At this moment, Chen Yang's expression was a little uncertain, and his eyes were full of worries.
"Friend Chen, tell me the truth, do you know something?" Han Li asked through the sound transmission.
After waiting for a while, Chen Yang did not respond.
"Is what City Lord Ekuai said true or not?" Han Li asked again via voice transmission.
"Friend Daoist Li, I do have something to hide from you, but I also have my own difficulties, and I can't tell you right now..." At this time, Chen Yang replied via voice transmission.
"Friend Chen, you have already threatened me once before. If you can't meet honestly now, then we should cancel our cooperation completely." Han Li's tone became colder, and he said through voice transmission.
"This... well, since you must know, I won't hide it from you. In fact, I was not from Qingyang City at first, but from Xuancheng. Back then, my brother Chen Lie and I were both servants of the city lord's mansion. The spies trained will be sent to infiltrate other cities in the future. In order to be qualified for this task, we have all undergone rigorous training. In the final assessment, we were all sent out to assassinate one person. After success, we can We got a lot of cultivation resources and profound cultivation techniques. But no one thought that the target of our assassination would be each other..." Chen Yang hesitated for a moment, then said through sound transmission.
"Kill each other?" Han Li couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this.
"That's right. Shao Ying was sent to follow and monitor, we had no choice... In the end I survived..." Chen Yang paused, and said with some difficulty.
"The entanglement between you and him has nothing to do with me. In order to survive in this scaled sky, I can cooperate with you, but if you want to challenge the evil now, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble. I will not accompany you to die." After pondering for a while, Han Li said.
"It's only natural... Besides, I didn't intend to start a fight with Ezu right now. What I'm doing now is the same as you, Daoist Li, just to survive..." Chen Yang sighed heavily, feeling a little helpless.
"That's what Na'e said just now..." Han Li asked as his heart moved.
"It's really meaningless to say whether it's true or not. After all, no one has actually found it before. However, according to the rumors, it is indeed as he said. There is a remains hidden in the depths of the Great Ruins, and it contains endless power. Energy, even if you just get a small phalanx from its body and refine it into the body, it can also increase the physical body's cultivation level, and even the number of profound orifices, it is really a fetish in my Xuanxiu's mind." Chen Yang thought for a while. thought, explained.
When Han Li heard this, he was about to say something more, but the voice of "Er" sounded:
"Fellow Daoist Li, since the bloody key is in your hands, it's not too late. Let's set off together and rush to the treasure place. If the people from the puppet city snatch it first, the loss outweighs the gain."
"Since there are only five keys in the treasure house, and they need to be collected before they can be opened. We have one here. Even if the people from the puppet city arrive first, they won't be able to open it, right?" Sun Tu asked, frowning slightly.
"The puppet city is no better than our Xuancheng. They are proficient in the art of puppets, but there may be no other way." Mrs. Liuhua who had been silent all this time said suddenly.
