Chapter 2359

"This ship is indeed a bit conspicuous. After entering the Blood Bone Sect's sphere of influence, we will put it away. After arriving at Blood Crane City, we will temporarily part ways, and you will go to investigate the clues about your body. At that time, I will give you two Body Integration puppets for protection; as long as you don't encounter a Mahayana stage existence, it will be enough to keep you safe," Han Li thought for a while and nodded.

"Thank you for your grace, Senior; I will find the relevant clues as soon as possible," Xue Po was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"You and I have quite a bit of fate, so this small favor is nothing," Han Li waved his hand and said noncommittally.

More than a month later, Han Li and the others finally entered the area controlled by the Blood Bone Sect.

After putting away the Ink Spirit flying ship, they immediately changed to an inconspicuous black flying carriage, pulled by several flying wolf puppets, and continued forward.

The following journey was smooth.

Two months later, Han Li and his party finally appeared in front of a blood-red giant city.

This city was built very strangely; not only were there two pale blue lakes on both sides of the city, but the city wall facing the city gate where Han Li and the others were was protruding for a long distance, forming an existence like a small town's barbican.

On top of the city wall, there were faint guards wearing blood-colored armor, patrolling back and forth carelessly.

Near the city gate, some Blood Heaven aliens with different images landed their escape light honestly, and after handing some spirit stones to the guards at the city gate, they walked in.

"Senior Han, Blood Crane City can be considered one of the few important cities of the Blood Bone Sect. This city has several specialty items that are useful to middle and high-level cultivators, so not only is there a strong elite force of the Blood Bone Sect stationed here all year round, but there is also a Mahayana stage Supreme Elder who hides in this city all year round. Ordinary people don't dare to cause trouble here at all, so it's considered a fairly peaceful place. However, the various expenses in this city are also far more expensive than ordinary cities. If you want to live in the city for a long time, you must pay an additional amount of spirit stones," Xue Po was respectfully introducing the giant city in front of them to Han Li on the flying carriage.

"On this journey, I have also seen some disciples of the Blood Bone Sect. Not to mention their cultivation, every disciple of this sect has a kind of fierce evil energy permeating their bodies, and the techniques they practice are indeed exceptionally domineering. No wonder this sect can be ranked among the several major blood-path sects of Blood Heaven, and can easily build such a giant city. Moreover, this Blood Crane City happens to be located between several giant mountain ranges, so it can be considered a major traffic artery. I imagine there are quite a few outsiders in the city," Han Li had already seen the terrain around Blood Crane City with his spiritual sense and said with a clear mind.

"Senior's eyes are sharp. If there are no major changes, this city should indeed be dominated by outside cultivators. However, most of the large-scale industries in the city belong to the Blood Bone Sect, and others who have the ability to open industries in this city are also supported by major forces behind the scenes. This city also often has some people with strange identities appearing and hiding in the city all year round," Xue Po thought for a while and replied.

"This city can truly be called a place where dragons and snakes are mixed. Does the Blood Bone Sect not care about these people who hide their origins?" Han Li smiled and asked.

"Blood Crane City can be considered one of the more free cities among the major cities of Blood Heaven. Unless someone truly fights fiercely in the city and affects others, the Blood Bone Sect doesn't care about anything other than collecting some spirit stones on time. Perhaps it's because of this point that this city has been able to prosper for so many years. In addition, there are several large arenas in the city. Some people who have grievances or want to settle grudges can also directly decide the outcome or life and death in these places," Xue Po said with a bitter smile.

"So that's how it is. I roughly understand what kind of place Blood Crane City is. Fellow Daoist Xue, do you still plan to enter the city together?" Han Li nodded thoughtfully and asked again.

"This junior won't go in! According to the markings left by my body before, she should have entered the nearby Wanyue Mountain Range. I plan to go directly to this mountain range to find the clues she left behind," Xue Po bowed slightly and said solemnly.

"Since you have such a plan, let's act separately for now. During this time, I will also look for other two ancient altars near this city. Take this sound transmission talisman. If you have any discoveries or encounter any trouble, just light this talisman. I will sense it on my side and will immediately look for you," Han Li flipped his hand, suddenly produced a pale gold talisman, and threw it over.

"Thank you, Senior. With this talisman, this junior can finally rest easy," Xue Po's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly grabbed the talisman and said gratefully.

Then, the woman bowed to Han Li and flew away from the flying carriage in a streak of escape light.

Han Li kept watching the escape light disappear from the flying carriage before lightly tapping his feet, urging the flying carriage to fly straight toward the giant city in the distance.

In front of the city gate, seven or eight Blood Heaven aliens were already queuing to enter the city after handing over spirit stones.

However, during this period, those guards asked more or less about the origins of these people and how long they planned to stay in Blood Crane City and other simple questions.

These Blood Heaven people who wanted to enter the city also answered honestly, but whether what they said was true or false, only heaven knows.

Those Blood Bone Sect guards didn't care about all this, recorded this information roughly, issued an iron plate to everyone, and let them in.

When it was Han Li's turn, Ancestor Hua Shi stepped forward without changing his expression, released his Body Integration stage aura slightly, threw a high-grade spirit stone over, and said coldly:

"Three people, no need to find the remaining spirit stones."

The dozen or so blood-armored guards at the gate, the highest cultivation among them being only at the Nascent Soul stage, felt their breathing tighten under the pressure of Ancestor Hua Shi's spiritual pressure, and they were forced to retreat several steps, their faces changing to expressions of horror.

The head guard, upon receiving that high-grade spirit stone, didn't dare to ask another half-sentence, hurriedly took out three iron plates and handed them to Han Li and the three, then respectfully retreated to the side.

Han Li and the three walked into the city gate grandly.

"Such a strong aura, it must be a Body Integration stage senior. Strange, counting this one, nearly thirty Body Integration stage existences have entered the city this month," the head guard said after Han Li and the three walked far away, exhaling a long breath and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"It is a bit strange. These Body Integration stage powerhouses seem to only enter and not leave. Could it be that something big is happening in the city?" Someone beside him asked suspiciously.

"Maybe. Don't you feel that there are some new faces above us in these few months? These people are arrogant and seem to have backgrounds, not like the inner disciples of the sect," someone also muttered in a low voice.

"Alright, don't discuss this matter anymore. No matter what is happening in the city, it has nothing to do with us low-level outer disciples. We just need to guard this city gate well. Have you forgotten how strict the sect's regulations are?" The head guard's voice suddenly became stern upon hearing this.

The others, upon hearing the word "regulations," all shivered, hurriedly closed their mouths, stood straight in their positions again, and didn't dare to discuss it anymore.

At this time, Han Li and the others had already walked into the barbican behind the city gate.

Apart from a long street and many simple stalls on both sides, there were no other buildings in this area.

Many people who had just entered the city were lingering in front of these stalls, either picking up an item on the stall to examine it carefully or bargaining with the stall owner.

Han Li swept his spiritual sense over these stalls and saw that although the items displayed were exceptionally rich, most of them were of low grade, let alone for him, even for a Body Integration existence like Ancestor Hua Shi, they were of no use at all.

As such, he naturally wouldn't stay here at all, walked to the end of the street, and went straight out of the barbican area.

His eyes lit up!

A giant square that extended in all directions appeared in front of him, occupying more than ten thousand acres, and there were many formal shops of different sizes scattered around the square.

Judging from the signs hanging outside the shops, it was clear that materials, spirit beasts, magic tools, etc., were all available.

Ancestor Hua Shi and Zhu Guo'er's eyes lit up upon seeing this scene. "For the next few days, act on your own. After three days, come back here to meet up again," Han Li ordered indifferently.

For the past half year, because of rushing and looking for ancient altars, they hadn't entered any other towns.

Since they were on another continent, there should naturally be some rare materials or treasures on this continent that were rarely seen on the original continent, so it was necessary for the two of them to take the opportunity to buy and sell some things.

"Yes, Senior Han!"

"Thank you, Senior!"

Ancestor Hua Shi and Zhu Guo'er were overjoyed upon hearing this, bowed to Han Li, and hurriedly walked toward the shops on the edge of the square.

In three days, although it was impossible for them to visit all the shops, it was about the same to have seen seven or eight out of ten.

At this moment, Han Li seemed to have sensed something, and subconsciously looked up at the sky.

He saw that the sky above the giant city was about to turn dark, and through the invisible restrictions, he could see several blurred crescent moons hanging in the sky, and the nearby void was faintly glowing with a fresh red color.

I believe that before long, the entire sky will turn into a real blood-colored night.

I don't know why, but during the day on the Blood Heaven Continent, the scenery in the sky is exactly the same as on the Tianyuan Thunder Continent, but once night falls, it turns into a strange blood-red color.

This is also the origin of the name Blood Heaven Continent.

But at this moment, Han Li did not look at the reddish crescent moon that already had some strange phenomena, but looked calmly at a certain seemingly empty void above the square. After a moment, he lowered his head expressionlessly and walked straight toward a street connected to the square.

"A Mahayana existence, finally even this level of guy has been alarmed. However, I don't know what the origin of this person is; the face is so strange. It seems that he has already discovered me just now," in the void where Han Li had just looked, a masked man who had completely hidden his figure muttered with a frown.
