Chapter 2051: Blood Crow City
Several hours later, Han Li floated high in the sky, looking at the faintly visible blood-red city wall in the distance, and muttered to himself:
"This is Blood Crow City? It really doesn't look very big."
"Hehe, although this city is not big, it is built with stones from near the blood-light crystal mine, which is said to have a certain magic-breaking effect. If attacked directly with magic, the power will be weakened to a certain extent." The Long family ancestor beside him smiled faintly and said.
"In that case, this city has a certain ability to resist Butterfly-Tailed Beasts. It is a wise choice for us to stay here." The feather-clad young girl smiled sweetly.
"When I sealed the memories of those two Demon race members earlier, I scanned them and found that although various beast tides often erupt in this area, attacks on Blood Crow City are very rare. It seems this place is not as simple as it looks on the surface. However, this city really doesn't have any restrictions that can break the Pseudo-Demon Bead. When we enter the city in a while, just restrain our cultivation to the Void Refinement level, and don't be too eye-catching." The Long family ancestor said to the group without hesitation.
The others nodded and had no objections.
So the Long family ancestor shook his sleeves, and rolling demonic energy emerged from his body, rolled up the group, and whistled straight toward the blood-colored city wall in the distance.
After a while, when the demonic energy dissipated, Han Li and the others were in front of a pitch-black city gate.
At the city gate, thirty or forty Demon race guards in green battle armor were looking at the group with extremely vigilant eyes.
But when the Long family ancestor snorted and released the vast aura of the Void Refinement level, these Demon race guards, who were mostly at the Nascent Soul level, immediately changed their expressions and put on respectful expressions.
A Demon race commander who looked like a Spirit Severing level hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects, and after carefully asking a few questions, immediately waved his hand to let the guards open the city gate, allowing Han Li and the others to enter the city swaggeringly.
After all, for such a small city, the Void Refinement level could be considered an existence that could not be offended. The reason these guards would interrogate them was just because of the martial law.
If it were in ordinary times, with the mixed Demon race members entering and leaving Blood Crow City, I am afraid that even this bit of interrogation would not happen.
However, the moment he entered the city gate, Han Li's blue eyes flashed slightly and scanned the magic array formed by several magic patterns imprinted on the pitch-black gate, but no expression was revealed on his face.
He didn't know about the restrictions in other places, but the one at the city gate was extremely ordinary and had nothing worth being careful about.
Once inside the city, one could see rows of buildings of different heights, but most of them were mainly black and red, and the occasional few of other colors were also buildings that looked like they were built temporarily at a glance.
But streets that could accommodate three beast carts side by side appeared between the buildings.
Overall, this city could not be called as huge as a city with a population of hundreds of millions in the Spirit Realm. Although it was called a small city, looking closely, it was just a larger town with city walls all around, with at most five or six million Demon race members living in it.
However, this city had activated a flight-prohibition restriction, and except for some patrol guards who were exempt from the restriction, there were no other messy Demon race members flying in the sky.
After Han Li and the others walked for a while, they found that this Blood Crow City couldn't be said to be overcrowded, but it could be called bustling at this moment.
The streets were full of Demon race members with different images coming and going, including both ferocious-looking Demon race members like demonic beasts and Demon race members who looked exactly like ordinary human race members.
And most of the buildings on both sides of the street were various shops and ordinary buildings similar to inns.
Many Demon race members were coming in and out of these buildings from time to time, looking hurried.
These Demon race members' cultivation levels were not weak, mostly at the Nascent Soul and Core Formation levels, and a small part were at the Spirit Severing level. As for the Void Refinement level, they walked for a long time before occasionally bumping into two or three, and they were all at the early stage.
But after Han Li and the others walked for a while, they could see a small stone mountain several hundred zhang high entrenched in a corner of the town from afar.
At the edge of this mountain, gray-white buildings resembling stone towers were built, surrounding most of the small mountain tightly.
Between these stone towers, some elite Demon race members wearing battle armor could be vaguely seen patrolling back and forth.
On the mountainside, there was a black-red stone palace, which should be the place where that Demon Venerable named "Bing Qianren" lived and practiced.
Han Li looked at the stone palace from afar, narrowing his eyes and pondering.
At this time, the Long family ancestor who was walking in the front suddenly stopped at a crossroads and said to the group:
"Let's disperse here. Hehe, I think most fellow Daoists like to act alone. Once the Butterfly-Tailed Beasts disperse, we will gather here again to continue on the road. Anyway, this city is not big, and if there is really anything, it is very easy for everyone to contact each other."
"That's fine, I actually saw some things I was interested in just now, so I'll take a step first." Somewhat unexpectedly, the feather-clad young girl was the first to agree with a light smile upon hearing this.
Then, the woman bowed slightly to the group and walked toward the way they came without hesitation.
Saintess Qianqiu and her companions looked at each other and left without changing their expressions.
Looking at them, they intended to act together.
"Brother Long, then Han will also say goodbye." Han Li bowed to the Long family ancestor and said goodbye without changing his expression.
"Brother Han, take care!" The Long family ancestor didn't dare to neglect and returned the bow.
After Han Li nodded, he turned around and walked toward a nearby street.
The Long family ancestor watched Han Li's distant figure in place until he disappeared with a flicker at another street corner, then the smile on his face gradually faded, and he turned his head to ask the disheveled Lin family man faintly:
"Brother Lin, how about the cooperation I mentioned to you earlier? Can you give me an answer now?"
"Brother Long, this matter is of great importance, I still need to consider it for a few more days." The disheveled man didn't leave, and upon hearing this, his pupils shrank slightly, and he replied with some hesitation.
"Hmm, this matter is indeed not small. No wonder Brother Lin is so careful. But it doesn't matter, the journey is long anyway, Brother Lin can consider it for a few more days." The Long family ancestor smiled upon hearing this, not feeling surprised at all.
"Then Lin will thank Brother Long." The disheveled man's expression moved, but he said polite words in his mouth.
In the following time, this Supreme Elder of the Lin family and the Long family ancestor talked for a few more sentences and then left as well.
"Brother Long, looking at this person's appearance, I'm afraid he won't necessarily agree to our invitation. Why don't we change the target and test the Ye family? After all, according to the original plan, the Ye family seems more suitable for our plan." The black-robed man who had been following the Long family ancestor without speaking suddenly said coldly.
"The Ye family won't work! She is too wary of our Long family, and seems to have noticed something, so she won't agree. It's easier to expose more things!" The Long family ancestor shook his head without hesitation.
"But this Lin guy is clearly just perfunctory to us. I'm afraid that even if he agrees later, he won't sincerely cooperate with us." Elder Hui still frowned and said.
"Hehe, as long as he agrees, I won't let him go back on his word. Alright, this is not a place to talk, let's talk about this later. Let's go to the material shop in the city first to see if there are any materials we need." The Long family ancestor flashed a strange smile and waved his hand.
"The material shop is indeed the first place we should look for. I think most of the others have gone to such places. Let's change direction, it's better not to bump into them." The black-robed man agreed.
"I have the same intention. Let's go!"
The Long family ancestor laughed low and continued to walk forward with the black-robed man.
Saintess Qianqiu and her group of Spirit race people were walking slowly on another street, secretly talking quickly.
"Zhi Shui's situation is not good, Zhi Shui's seal is vaguely loosening, we must find a place to re-cast the spell immediately." Saintess Qianqiu said with a trace of solemnity via voice transmission.
"No way, didn't the last restriction not take long? How could it be unable to suppress it so quickly." The figure in the white light asked in a deep voice.
"I'm not too sure about this, but it's probably because we are in the Demon Realm now. Elder Bai should know that the origin of that thing was originally related to the Demon Realm. It seems that the large amount of demonic energy in the Demon Realm has a great stimulation on it, which caused the seal to loosen." Saintess Qianqiu sighed and replied.
"Zhi Shui must not have any problems, he is our trump card. Find a place to stay immediately, and then we will protect you, and you will immediately re-consolidate the seal." The figure in the white light heard this and said coldly without hesitation.
"Hmm, I think so too."
Saintess Qianqiu nodded, and after leading the group for a while, turned into an alley ahead.
At the end of the alley, there was a tall building similar to an inn, and several dusty-looking Demon race members were walking into it swaggeringly.
In a crimson Demon race shop, the feather-clad young girl was taking an unknown mineral stone that was emerald green from the hands of a Demon race member with pale skin.
The woman ignored the Demon race member who was talking eloquently, and after scanning the mineral stone with her spiritual sense, a smiling expression couldn't help but appear on her face.
At the same time, Han Li was walking on a narrow street, with various sizes of stalls densely packed on both sides.
Behind each stall, there was a Demon race member with a different appearance, either sitting or standing.
But in such a somewhat chaotic place, there were many Demon race members with not weak auras lingering and wandering in front of these stalls, and from time to time, some people were arguing fiercely with the owners of these stalls.
Han Li looked at the somewhat familiar scene before him, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
