Wang Yu
Chapter 983: Revival
At that moment, he also felt a surge of emptiness. The Mantra Treasure Wheel and the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords all flashed and returned to his body on their own.
Han Li was covered in blood and his clothes were tattered. He glanced at Zi Ling in the distance, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. His legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.
Madam Six Flowers, Gu Qianxun, and Shi Chuan Kong were all shocked by the sight.
"City Lord E... E Kui... just... died like that?" Gu Qianxun murmured to herself.
Madam Six Flowers didn't speak, but nodded silently.
After his shock, Shi Chuan Kong let out a long breath and slumped to the ground.
Han Li barely managed to sit cross-legged. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
At this moment, the golden pellet in his body rapidly shrunk and disappeared, and the Immortal Spiritual Power within him quickly stagnated again.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Immortal Spiritual Power in his body could still circulate, he hurriedly took out some healing pills from the flower branch space.
He had almost exhausted his healing pills, and how could the pills inside the Scaled Hollow Realm compare to the pills outside?
After taking out enough pills, Han Li's eyes flickered, as if he remembered something, and he reached into his chest.
A black light flashed in his hand, and a black statue appeared. It was the statue he had obtained from Zhao Gu Zhenren that day.
Just as he finished doing this, the golden pellet in Han Li's body completely disappeared, and the Immortal Spiritual Power in his body completely subsided again.
He didn't mind this. He took a pill and swallowed it, and his injuries quickly improved.
"Fellow Daoist Li, are you alright? I didn't expect you to have such strength, even E Kui wasn't your match." Shi Chuan Kong walked over and asked.
"It's nothing." Han Li waved his hand noncommittally. He got up and went to Zi Ling's side, carefully examining her condition.
Seeing that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he turned to E Kui's corpse and scanned it with his spiritual sense, his brow furrowing.
E Kui was empty-handed, without anything on him.
"How could this be?" Han Li was very surprised.
Storage magic tools could not be used within the Scaled Hollow Realm, so everyone carried a lot of things with them. Pills, weapons, and so on were absolutely essential. How could E Kui be empty-handed? Could he have lost them in the previous fierce battle?
His eyes turned and fell on a bone-white ring on E Kui's left hand.
The ring seemed to be made of some kind of skeleton, emitting a faint white light. It didn't look ordinary.
Han Li pondered slightly and took off the ring.
"Good eye. I used the bones of the Starry Sky Beast as a base, and then supplemented it with Star Constellation Restrictions and Space Restrictions to refine the Starry Sky Ring for E Kui. It can be used with the power of the stars." Madam Six Flowers' voice came.
Hearing this, Han Li glanced at Madam Six Flowers. He secretly activated the power of the stars in his Mysterious Aperture and injected it into the bone ring, while also probing inside with his spiritual sense.
The bone ring emitted a layer of white light, which resisted his spiritual sense.
Han Li silently circulated the power of the stars in his Mysterious Aperture, impacting this layer of white light. Soon, with a soft "crack", the white light shattered, and his spiritual sense entered the bone ring.
The space inside the ring wasn't large, only two or three zhang in size. Any storage magic tool outside was much larger than this, but within the Scaled Hollow Realm, where Immortal Spiritual Power could not be used, such a storage magic tool was extremely precious.
The storage space was full of various items, pills, weapons, beast cores, and some books and classics.
Han Li's spiritual sense swept over these items, searching quickly. Soon, his eyes lit up and landed in a corner of the storage space. There, two statues were placed.
He was very familiar with these two statues. They were similar to the two *Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Skill* statues in his hand. Without asking, he knew they were the remaining two.
Han Li was secretly delighted, but he didn't take them out to avoid attracting attention.
He withdrew his spiritual sense and put the storage bone ring on his hand. Then, he put the two statues on his body, as well as those pills, inside.
At that moment, with a "splash" sound from the nearby blood lake, a bloody light shot out from it. It wrapped around E Kui's body with lightning speed, and with a "swoosh", it pulled him into the lake and disappeared.
Han Li raised his eyebrows, turned to look at the crystal coffin, and a thoughtful expression flashed on his face.
At that moment, Sha Xin slowly woke up beside him.
Although her body was severely damaged, she still managed to stand up.
At the same time as Sha Xin woke up, Zi Ling frowned and opened her eyes.
Seeing this scene, Han Li was overjoyed and was about to walk over quickly, but his eyes turned and he stopped.
"E Kui!" Sha Xin looked around and quickly saw E Kui's corpse, her face showing shock.
"City Lord Sha Xin, don't worry, E Kui has been killed by Fellow Daoist Li." Madam Six Flowers grinned and said.
Hearing this, Sha Xin's face relaxed, and a hint of surprise appeared in her gaze as she looked at Han Li. She opened her mouth to say something.
"Alright, E Kui is dead, there's nothing for you to do here. Everyone else leave, Fellow Daoist Li stays." A dignified voice came from the crystal coffin. It sounded like the voice of Crab Daoren.
At this moment, the lake water was still pouring into the crystal coffin. The skin and flesh on the surface of the sacred skeleton in the coffin had already grown out, turning into a naked male body.
This person looked like a middle-aged man with white hair and a square face. Although his eyes were closed at the moment, he still exuded a sense of majesty.
"This appearance..." Han Li looked at the male body in the crystal coffin, his eyes flickering slightly.
At this moment, the man in the coffin was somewhat similar to Crab Daoren from back then, but not exactly the same.
"Master... Master, you're finally resurrected, that's great!" Seeing this scene, Sha Xin's face showed ecstasy. Ignoring the injuries on her body, she knelt on the ground in front of the crystal coffin and said excitedly.
"I haven't fully recovered yet and need a period of recuperation. It's enough to have Fellow Daoist Li guarding me here." Crab Daoren continued.
"This... Although Fellow Daoist Li helped us kill the traitor E Kui, he's still an outsider. It's better for your subordinate to guard you here." Sha Xin glanced at Han Li and said softly.
"Fellow Daoist Li and I have known each other for many years, you don't have to worry. Moreover, I have another important task to assign to you..." Crab Daoren's voice became lower halfway through his sentence, obviously changing to voice transmission.
"Your subordinate obeys. Fellow Daoist Li, I'll leave it to you here." Sha Xin's expression changed, then she nodded heavily, said something to Han Li, and immediately led Zi Ling towards the outside.
"Wait a moment, City Lord Sha Xin, Zi Ling is my friend. Please unlock the restriction in Zi Ling's Divine Soul and let her return to her original heart." Han Li suddenly stopped Sha Xin and said.
Hearing this, Zi Ling's body shook, and a complex expression appeared on her face.
"Look at my memory, I almost forgot about this. When Zi Ling first entered Puppet City, I was worried that she was a spy sent by Profound City, so I sealed her memories. Please don't blame me, Fellow Daoist Li. I'll remove the seal for her now." Hearing this, Sha Xin first apologized to Han Li, and then walked to Zi Ling.
She quickly formed hand seals with both hands, then suddenly stretched out her two fingers and pointed them at Zi Ling's forehead, chanting words in her mouth.
Streams of golden light radiated from her hands and entered Zi Ling's forehead.
A series of golden lines suddenly appeared on Zi Ling's forehead, forming a seal-like technique. Her eyes became blurred, and she softly sat down on the ground.
"Release!" Sha Xin shouted in a low voice.
The golden lines on Zi Ling's forehead lit up completely, then turned into countless light spots and scattered.
She groaned and fell into a coma, her body falling to the ground.
A figure flashed, and Han Li appeared next to Zi Ling, supporting her.
"What's wrong with her?"
"Fellow Daoist Li, don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zi Ling is only temporarily unconscious and will wake up soon." Sha Xin said with a faint smile.
After saying this, she bowed to the crystal coffin again and turned to walk outside.
Madam Six Flowers and Gu Qianxun also followed behind her.
Shi Chuan Kong shifted his gaze from Crab Daoren, then looked at Han Li, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn't say it and walked outside.
The few people soon left the underground space and came outside.
Sha Xin closed the entrance to the passage. She didn't leave, but sat down cross-legged next to it, a faint white light radiating from her body, seemingly circulating her energy to heal her injuries.
Madam Six Flowers and the other two didn't leave immediately, but stood aside.
Madam Six Flowers' expression was uncertain. Then she gritted her teeth, took Gu Qianxun to Sha Xin, bowed deeply, and said, "I am Six Flowers, with my daughter Qianxun, paying respects to City Lord Sha Xin."
"Fellow Daoist Six Flowers, how can I dare to accept such a grand salute?" Sha Xin slowly opened her eyes and said calmly.
"City Lord Sha Xin is highly respected, and now with the help of that expert in the crystal coffin, unifying the Scaled Hollow Realm is just around the corner. I used to be blind and aided that evil thief E Kui in opposing City Lord Sha Xin. I hope City Lord can forgive me. Now I am willing to abandon darkness and seek the light, and join City Lord Sha Xin's command. I hope City Lord can accept me." Madam Six Flowers said sincerely.
"I am also willing to join Puppet City, and I hope City Lord will accept me." Gu Qianxun also bowed and saluted.
"Oh, you want to join my Puppet City? Hehe, let's not talk about this Gu Qianxun. Fellow Daoist Six Flowers, you used to help E Kui develop countless Star Devices, causing countless damage to our Puppet City. Even if I can generously accept you into Puppet City, I'm afraid the others in Puppet City won't tolerate you, right?" Sha Xin glanced at Madam Six Flowers and said coldly.
"I understand. In order to quell the anger of the fellow Daoists in Puppet City, I am willing to tell City Lord Sha Xin about the deployment of troops around Profound City and the weaknesses of the city defense restrictions. Most of the defenses of Profound City were arranged by me and E Kui together. I wonder if this is possible?" Madam Six Flowers said with a wry smile.
"Since Fellow Daoist Six Flowers is so sincere, I am not someone who is unreasonable. Alright! From today onwards, you two are people of my Puppet City." Hearing this, Sha Xin's eyes lit up and she said.
"Thank you, City Lord." A look of joy appeared in Madam Six Flowers' eyes, and she bowed again with Gu Qianxun.
