Chapter 725: Feint to the East, Attack in the West

“By the way, although this talisman is profound, it has a time limit and can only last for half an hour. We must explore this place thoroughly within this time,” Shi Chuan-kong said, and then swallowed the Mustard Seed Heavenly Evasion Talisman.

A wave of black and white light rippled around him, and then his entire body slowly merged into the surrounding void, disappearing without a trace.

Han Li and Hu San, upon seeing this, also swallowed the Mustard Seed Heavenly Evasion Talisman.

A flash of black and white light appeared on their bodies, and their bodies quickly disappeared into the void.

The three of them were using the same talisman, and there was a subtle connection between them, so they wouldn't lose sight of their companions.

"Let's go! Both the corner towers and the central hall may contain the core formation of the space restriction. We'll search them one by one." Shi Chuan-kong waved his hand, and the three of them flew out, silently landing in front of the corner tower on the left side of the city gate.

There were many armored Nether Slaves standing near the corner tower, but their cultivation was very weak, so naturally they couldn't detect Han Li and the others.

The three of them flew into the corner tower and quickly searched every corner.

The space inside the corner tower was not large, and the three of them quickly checked it all.

Inside were several living rooms, which were now empty, but judging from the items left behind, it should be the residence of several guard leaders at the city gate. They did not find the aura of the restriction core.

Han Li and the others quickly flew out.

"The other corner tower is probably the same, let's not waste time, let's go to the main hall," Shi Chuan-kong said through voice transmission.

Han Li and Hu San shared the same view, and the three of them flashed and landed at the entrance of the black hall.

Han Li looked at the hall in front of him, his pupils shrinking slightly.

The light inside the hall was dim, like a terrifying demon mouth, wanting to devour everything that entered it.

He raised his eyebrows, and then realized that this was the pressure from the Nine Nether Domain Grand Luo that might exist in the hall, causing a mental illusion. After taking a deep breath, he immediately discarded this trace of distracting thoughts in his heart.

"Let's go."

Shi Chuan-kong seemed to have experienced a brief trance as well, and now he came back to his senses. After saying a word, he took the lead and flew into the hall.

Han Li and Hu San followed closely behind, flying into the hall.

The hall was a cylindrical hall with a very large area. The diameter from left to right was forty to fifty zhang, and the height was also four to five zhang. The walls and ground were all black. Several black crystals the size of human heads were inlaid on the walls, flashing with a faint black light, which looked very strange.

At the end of the hall, there were three passages, two leading to the side halls on the left and right, and one leading upwards, seemingly to the second floor.

Shi Chuan-kong made a gesture, and the three of them did not immediately go to the second floor, but split into two groups to explore the two side halls.

However, the three of them quickly returned and came to the passage leading to the second floor.

The two side halls were both warehouses, filled with many armors and weapons, which were obviously not their target.

"It seems it should be upstairs. The perception of a Grand Luo Realm existence is far beyond our expectations. Be careful," Shi Chuan-kong said with a solemn voice transmission.

Han Li and Hu San nodded solemnly.

The three of them then slowly stepped forward and went upstairs, and soon came to the second-floor hall.

The situation on the second-floor hall was similar to that on the first floor. It was also a circular room, but there were a few more thick stone pillars, each with a coiling dragon relief, roaring towards the sky.

At the end of the hall, there were also three passages, two leading to the left and right side halls, and the other leading to the third floor.

"Space fluctuations! It's here!" As soon as he stepped onto the second floor, Shi Chuan-kong looked towards the side hall on the left, his eyes lighting up.

Han Li and Hu San also looked there, with joy on their faces.

However, at this moment, a white shadow suddenly flew out of the passage on the third floor, but it was a fluffy white beast.

This beast was only a foot long, covered in smooth white fluff, shaped like a civet cat, but its eyes were very large, almost occupying half of its face, which looked very strange.

The white beast opened its mouth slightly, making a cooing sound, and scurried around the second-floor hall, seemingly playing by itself.

Han Li and the others were startled by the sudden appearance of the white beast, but then they saw it scurrying around playing, and their expressions relaxed.

"It's okay, ignore it..." Shi Chuan-kong said through voice transmission, and was about to step towards the left side hall.

However, at this moment, the white beast that was playing suddenly stopped, and its eyes looked towards Han Li and the others. A white ripple shot out from its eyes, covering the three of them.

"Not good, retreat!" Shi Chuan-kong's expression changed, and he grabbed Hu San beside him and shot back into the second-floor passage.

Han Li's movements were faster than Shi Chuan-kong. The moment the white beast looked over, he immediately retreated quickly.

Fortunately, the three of them were standing next to the passage, and instantly shot into the passage.

However, the white ripple did not stop, and immediately chased into the passage, continuing to cover the three of them.

The three of them did not dare to use immortal spiritual power, and their speed was limited. They were about to be caught up by the white ripple.

Seeing this, Shi Chuan-kong's eyes were anxious, and he gritted his teeth, waved his other hand, grabbed Han Li's body, and quickly chanted a spell.

Rumble!

A cold force of law poured out from his body and injected into Han Li and Hu San's bodies, entering the Mustard Seed Heavenly Evasion Talisman in their bodies.

"Mustard Seed Sumeru, Heavenly Evasion Spirit Attachment!"

The Mustard Seed Heavenly Evasion Talisman in the three of them suddenly shook, and shattered, turning into a strange force, wandering in the three of them.

Han Li and the others' bodies suddenly sank into the wall of the passage and disappeared without a trace.

The moment the three of them sank into the wall, the white ripple shot over and filled the entire passage, as well as the walls next to it, but there was no abnormality.

The white beast shook its head, and a trace of doubt flashed in its big eyes.

"Yuntuan, what's wrong?" A figure walked out of the third-floor passage, but it was a tall and thin middle-aged man.

This man had long and narrow eyes, a pale complexion, without a trace of blood, looking like a corpse just fished out of the water, which was quite creepy.

A strong yin and cold baleful aura emanated from this person, making people shudder at the sight and want to stay away from him.

At this moment, a black figure flew up from the first-floor passage, but it was a black-robed Nether Slave.

Black gas emanated from the black robe on this person, covering his body, making his figure somewhat looming, looking like a ghost.

The tall and thin middle-aged man saw the black Nether Slave, and a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"Lord Gui Mu, the domain lord has an order to send." The person saw the scene in front of him, was slightly startled, and then immediately knelt on the ground, took out a black communication talisman, presented it with both hands, and said respectfully.

The white beast tilted its head and glanced at the black-robed Nether Slave. The white ripple in its eyes flashed and disappeared, turning into a white shadow and rushing into Gui Mu's arms.

Gui Mu held the white beast in his arms, gently stroking the soft hair on its head with one hand, and took the communication talisman with the other hand, his divine sense immersed in it.

A strange color flashed in his eyes, and he crushed the communication talisman with force in his hand.

"Tell the domain lord, I know, the puppet fort has also been arranged," Gui Mu said, his voice dry and unpleasant.

The black-robed Nether Slave agreed and immediately turned into a ghost, flying towards the bottom, disappearing in a blink of an eye.

Gui Mu hugged the white beast and walked back and forth in the hall a few steps, seemingly considering something, but he quickly returned to the third floor.

A while after his figure disappeared, the figures of Han Li and the others flew out of the passage wall.

The three of them did not climb the second floor again, but quietly retreated to the first floor and hid in a side hall.

Arriving here, Han Li and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"That was dangerous just now. What kind of strange beast is that white civet cat? It can sense us, and we were almost discovered," Hu San said with lingering fear.

"It is estimated to be a kind of alien beast in the Gray Realm. We are still a little careless." As Han Li said, he took out a pill and took it.

"The supernatural powers of a Grand Luo existence are indeed beyond our imagination. A small beast by his side is so powerful," Shi Chuan-kong sighed.

The expressions of the three were a bit dignified. They originally thought that with the Mustard Seed Heavenly Evasion Talisman, infiltrating to find the core of the space restriction would not be too difficult. Who knew that they were almost discovered before they even saw the core of the space restriction.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, what's wrong with the Mustard Seed Heavenly Evasion Talisman in our bodies? It seems to be broken?" Han Li suddenly asked.

"The situation was urgent just now. I completely urged the power of the Mustard Seed Heavenly Evasion Talisman and used the Mustard Seed Spirit Attachment Technique, but in this way, the duration of the original Mustard Seed Heavenly Evasion Talisman will be halved again. It is estimated that after a quarter of an hour, the talisman will fail," Shi Chuan-kong said in a deep voice.

Han Li frowned upon hearing this.

"Only a quarter of an hour! Then we must hurry. Just now that white beast has been taken away by that Gui Mu. Should we try again?" Hu San said anxiously.

The difficulty of infiltrating here was far beyond their expectations. If they lost the Mustard Seed Heavenly Evasion Talisman, they would not be able to move an inch.

"No, it's too dangerous." Shi Chuan-kong immediately rejected this suggestion.

"With that Gui Mu around, it is indeed dangerous for us to go up. It seems that we can only divert him away," Han Li said slowly.

"Divert him away? Fellow Daoist Li, have you thought of a good idea?" Shi Chuan-kong's face lit up and he asked.

Hu San also looked over upon hearing this.

"The idea is actually very simple. The black fortress we passed on the way here is actually a place for the Nine Nether Race to refine puppets, and there are some unspeakable secrets. As long as we find a way to cause some commotion inside, that Gui Mu will most likely rush over. As long as he leaves here, it will be much easier for us," Han Li said in a deep voice.

"You have explored that fortress before? It is actually a place for refining puppets. Tsk tsk, I really want to see what it looks like inside." Hu San looked at Han Li in surprise and said tsk tsk.

"Your plan is feasible, but we are a bit far from that area now. Time is tight, I'm afraid we won't have time to rush over," Shi Chuan-kong said with a look of contemplation.

"It is more appropriate to let Fellow Daoist Mo Guang and Fellow Daoist Bai Li Yan go. They are closer to there. After the matter is completed, use your Small Teleportation Wheel to teleport them directly." Han Li shook his head and said.
