"Li Fellow Daoist, have you discovered anything?" Shi Chuan Kong asked hurriedly upon seeing this.

"Indeed, I've made some discoveries. Follow me." Han Li nodded and quickened his pace.

After about a quarter of an hour, the two stopped one after the other, both looking ahead.

They saw that at the end of the desert, as far as the eye could see, there was a huge river.

The river was quite grand, over ten miles wide, and the water in it was a crimson color, stirring up countless waves as it flowed forward with a rumble.

Han Li walked to the riverbank and cautiously tested the crimson river water.

The crimson river water was filled with a scorching power, as if it were flowing lava, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

"I never thought there would be a river in the desert... I think we should follow the river downstream, this river's appearance is strange, there must be something unusual downstream," Shi Chuan Kong said after a moment of contemplation.

"That's exactly what I was thinking." Han Li nodded.

The two then changed direction and advanced downstream along the crimson river. After four or five days, they soon made a discovery: a huge oasis appeared in front of them.

Although it was an oasis, most of the plants on it were crimson, and the others were pure white.

The vegetation within the oasis was tall and dense, alternating between red and white, making it look quite magnificent.

The two were quite delighted to see the oasis, but they didn't rush in impulsively. After exchanging glances, they each restrained their aura, stepped onto the oasis, and headed inside.

"Li Fellow Daoist, look!" After walking a distance inside, Shi Chuan Kong suddenly stopped Han Li, pointing to the dense jungle ahead.

Han Li looked over and saw a footprint faintly visible in the jungle. It looked relatively fresh and should have been left not long ago.

"It seems someone arrived here before us. We don't know if they are friends or foes, so be careful," Han Li transmitted.

Shi Chuan Kong nodded solemnly.

The two continued to advance, paying attention to their feet. As they went further, they found more and more similar footprints.

Based on the number of footprints, it was estimated that a group of four people had entered here before them.

The two quickly passed through the dense jungle, and the scenery ahead suddenly opened up. A huge city sat in front of them.

The city was filled with buildings, their roofs were pointed, like giant swords piercing the sky, and they were all crimson in color.

Han Li and Shi Chuan Kong exchanged glances and advanced silently, entering through the half-open city gate.

The buildings in the city were somewhat dilapidated, but much better than the previous ruins. The main structures of the buildings were mostly intact.

The two searched the buildings near the city gate, but the buildings were empty, and there were signs of being searched. It must have been done by the group before them, and they didn't find anything.

"It's really strange. Isn't it said that there are countless treasures in the Great Ruins? We've been here for a while, and besides finding two Star Treasures, we haven't found any treasures at all," Shi Chuan Kong transmitted, somewhat unwilling.

"Getting one or two Star Treasures is already a great harvest. Let's go. This place has already been searched by the group before us, so there probably isn't anything left. Let's go directly to the center of the city and see if we can find something there, but be very careful," Han Li transmitted back with a smile.

Shi Chuan Kong was invigorated upon hearing this and agreed.

The two sneaked into the city and soon reached the center, their expressions changing at the same time.

They saw that the center of the city was a large square, and a huge altar stood here.

This altar was also crimson in color, and judging from its appearance, it was very similar to the silver-gray altar they encountered in the ruins.

A plaque hung above the altar's entrance, with the three characters "You Ming Palace" written on it in Xuan script.

"This place looks a lot like the previous altar. There should be some good things inside. Do you want to go in and take a look?" The two were hiding in a building near the altar entrance, looking at the open gate of the altar, and Shi Chuan Kong transmitted, eager to try.

"Then let's go in and take a look. However, we haven't encountered the group before us on the way here. I think they've probably entered here too. I'll say the same thing as before, be very careful," Han Li said after a slight hesitation, looking at the altar ahead.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful," Shi Chuan Kong said, patting his chest.

"Let's go." Han Li glanced at his chest and transmitted.

The two figures flickered and darted out of the building, turning into two streams of green smoke, and disappeared into the altar entrance with a flash.

Not long after the two figures darted into the altar entrance, a white light flashed on the ground at the entrance, revealing an oval pattern.

This oval pattern was actually composed of eight Star Rune, each of which was extremely complex, far above those Star Rune that Han Li learned from Lady Six Flowers.

The oval pattern slowly lit up, and streaks of white light emerged from it, gathering towards the center, forming a white vertical line, which, combined with the oval frame outside, looked like an eye.

The white vertical line trembled slightly, as if it were looking into the depths of the entrance twice, and soon dimmed and disappeared.

Han Li and Shi Chuan Kong were unaware of the situation behind them and headed deeper after entering the gate.

Behind the altar entrance was a passage several hundred feet long. Like the previous silver-gray altar, the walls of the passage were covered with array patterns, and it was filled with a power of restriction, which imprisoned the power of divine sense.

However, the power of restriction here was slightly weaker than that of the silver-gray altar. Han Li's divine sense could barely leave his body by two or three feet.

The two carefully walked through the tunnel, and a giant hall with a size of thousands of feet appeared in front of them.

The hall was quite bright, empty, and the four walls had square alcoves several feet high, more than two or three hundred in total, but they were empty.

The things that were inside were now lying on the ground in the hall, they were crimson puppets, all in human form, and had been torn to pieces.

The ground was pitted and scarred, covered with traces of battle.

The crimson puppets had all five internal organs, and a large amount of silver liquid poured out of their remains, flowing all over the ground, similar to the black ape puppet that Han Li encountered at the beginning.

The wolf beast puppets, tiger-headed puppets, etc. that had fought before were not like this. They had no internal organs, only bodies roughly refined with materials.

Seeing this scene, Han Li's thoughts turned, and he vaguely had a layer of understanding of the puppets in the Great Ruins.

He casually picked up a puppet fragment, looked at it carefully, and his eyes flickered.

The puppet fragment seemed to be made of Fire Jade. Although it was now a fragment, it still flashed with bursts of fiery red crystal light, looking very spiritual and of extremely high quality, far above the materials used by the black ape puppet. Its strength was probably above it as well.

Fortunately, these puppets had been destroyed by the people in front, otherwise he would find it troublesome to be besieged by dozens of such puppets.

But thinking further, those people in front were able to get rid of these puppets, their strength must be extraordinary.

"This place is a bit dangerous, be careful," Han Li said slowly, his eyes flashing.

Shi Chuan Kong seemed to understand the information conveyed by the scene in front of him, and nodded solemnly.

The two did not stay here for long and walked towards the depths of the giant hall.

Behind the giant hall was a doorway, and behind the doorway was a dimly lit passage, leading to a deeper place.

As Han Li walked, he looked at the puppet fragments all over the ground, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

The puppets here were torn too fragmented, not like they were made in a fierce battle, but rather like someone wanted to find something in these puppets, and after the battle, they were cut apart one by one, which made it look like this now.

What is in these puppets that is worth so much trouble to find?

The two quickly passed through the hall and entered the passage behind.

Han Li immediately shook his head, collected his mind, and stopped thinking about other things. While carefully moving forward along the passage, he concentrated on investigating the surrounding situation.

The passage was not a straight road, but was winding, and the terrain was constantly sinking.

After turning a corner, three identical forks suddenly appeared in front.

The light in the three forks ahead was also quite dim, and you couldn't see far.

Shi Chuan Kong turned to look at Han Li, not saying a word, but his eyes were obviously asking, "Which one to take?"

Han Li's eyes swept over the three forks, and soon stopped on the ground of the middle passage.

Although extremely blurred, a few footprints could be seen here, leading to the depths.

The two passages next to it were clean and there were no traces of anyone passing by.

"Let's take the two sides. The middle passage is the place where the group in front has passed. Even if there are good things, they must have been taken away by those people. Maybe we can get something by taking the two sides," Han Li said after a moment of contemplation.

Shi Chuan Kong thought for a while and did not object.

After a brief discussion, the two stepped into the right passage.

The passage was quite spacious, enough for four or five people to walk side by side. The further they went, the area of the passage vaguely showed signs of becoming larger.

Silk white glow seeped out from the cracks in the passage stone, and the light was a little brighter than at the beginning.

As a result, the two hadn't walked far when a sharp whistle suddenly came from ahead.

Han Li and Shi Chuan Kong's expressions changed slightly, and they immediately stopped.

Before the two could do anything, a white figure flashed in front, and a white-clothed man rushed forward like lightning, holding a white lightsaber in his hand, which had now turned into a cold light, stabbing straight at Han Li's chest, who was walking in front.

This sword was as fast as lightning, and Han Li couldn't help but be surprised. He hurriedly shifted his steps and dodged to the side.

At the same time, a white light flashed in his hand, and he already had the white scimitar, which turned into a thunderous knife light with a wave, and slashed at the chest of the white-clothed man at the moment when the two figures intersected.

A strange scene appeared!

The knife light passed through the white-clothed man's body, as if it had slashed in the air, and did not feel any force at all.

Seeing this scene, Han Li couldn't help but let out a soft "huh".

The white-clothed man's rushing figure did not change in any way, and he rushed straight to Shi Chuan Kong behind him, and the lightsaber in his hand once again turned into a cold light, stabbing his chest.

Shi Chuan Kong was stunned at first, but his reaction was not slow either, and he hurriedly flashed his body to the side, barely dodging this sword.

This white-clothed man was extremely fast, and his ability to adapt seemed to be a bit lacking. After the attack on Han Li and the two of them failed, he rushed forward for a distance before stopping.

But he immediately turned around and rushed towards the two of them again.
