"Jiao Twenty-five, have you discovered anything underground?" Jiao Ba asked eagerly, his eyes lighting up.

"Everyone can sense about a hundred zhang below this place," Jiao Twenty-five said as he stood up.

Upon hearing this, everyone released their spiritual sense and scanned the ground. Soon, their eyes lit up.

Deep beneath this place, there was a vast underground cave, clearly man-made.

"Good thing you were careful, or we would have missed such a suspicious place," Jiao Ba said, narrowing his eyes and praising him.

"Not at all. My cultivation technique is special, so I'm more sensitive to underground conditions," Jiao Twenty-five said with a humble smile.

"Let's go and take a look at that underground palace," Jiao Ba said without further ado, taking the lead and diving into the ground.

The other two members of Jiao Ba's team immediately followed, and Jiao Twenty-five also dived into the ground.

Soon, only Han Li and the other two remained on the surface.

Jiao Jiu looked somewhat displeased and did not immediately follow.

Jiao Sixteen and Han Li exchanged glances and remained standing.

Although the seven of them were traveling together, they implicitly formed their own circles due to the previous division.

"Let's go too," Jiao Jiu said after a moment of silence. His figure flashed with blue light, and he also遁into the ground.

Han Li and Jiao Sixteen also cast spells to enter the ground, and after a moment, they arrived at the underground space.

The underground space was vast, at least several thousand zhang in circumference.

The ground appeared very flat, paved entirely with dark cyan stone slabs, forming a circular underground plaza, quite empty, as if no one had been here for a long time.

Seeing this scene, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Han Li looked towards the other parts of the stone chamber, sniffing lightly.

The stone chamber was very humid, and faintly emitted a bloody smell, surrounded by a faint chill.

He squatted down, and with a light sound, inserted his five fingers into a stone slab, forcibly pulling it out, revealing the dark red ground below.

However, these dark red soils were stained with a faint layer of black.

Han Li grabbed a handful of soil, looked at it for a moment, and then threw it away.

"Jiao Fifteen, have you discovered anything?" Jiao Sixteen walked over and asked.

"Not really. I just feel that this stone chamber seems a bit strange, surrounded by a bloody and yin aura, as if many people have died. The soil under the stone slabs has almost turned into yin soil," Han Li said thoughtfully.

"This should be where the enemy is specially dealt with," Jiao Sixteen said.

Han Li slowly shook his head. If one wanted to kill someone, where couldn't they do it? Why bring them to this underground place and specially build a stone chamber?

Although he faintly felt that this matter revealed a strange aura, he couldn't figure out the reason for it for a while.

At the same time, Jiao Ba and the others were also discussing and speculating on the use of this underground space.

"There's no need to worry. If you want to know why there's an underground space here, just grab someone and ask," Jiao Jiu suddenly said, waving his hand and launching a yellow light, which was a small yellow flag that flashed into the top of the stone chamber and disappeared.

Outside the Red Moon City Plaza, a middle-aged Nascent Soul cultivator dressed in a Blood Moon Blue Robe was patrolling the city, maintaining order everywhere.

At this moment, a yellow light flashed beneath his feet, and a yellow hand emerged like lightning, grabbed his feet and pulled him into the ground.

Circles of yellow ripples appeared on the ground beneath the middle-aged man's feet, and the hard ground seemed to turn into mud.

With a "swoosh" sound, the middle-aged man's body instantly disappeared into the ground, and the yellow ripples on the ground also disappeared.

The surrounding people were focused on pilgrimage, and no one noticed what had happened.

A yellow light flashed on the top of the underground plaza, and a yellow light enveloped the middle-aged man and fell down, "plop" landing on the ground.

The man saw Han Li and the others, and his expression changed.

However, he was restricted by the yellow light around him, unable to move or make a sound.

Jiao Jiu grabbed the man's head, and black light burst forth from his palm, turning into strands of black silk that directly entered the man's head.

The muscles on the middle-aged man's face twisted directly, and streams of blood seeped out from his facial features.

Jiao Jiu looked indifferent, and black silk continued to pour out from his palm.

However, at this moment, the middle-aged man's body trembled violently, and a muffled sound came from inside his head, as if something had exploded.

The man's eyes dimmed, and he lost his breath.

Jiao Jiu's expression darkened.

The man's situation was the same as that of the Integration cultivator captured in Tianshui City that day. A restriction was placed on his soul, and once the soul search touched certain memories, it would automatically explode.

"Even if we can search souls, these low-level Nascent Soul cultivators won't know much. There's not much point in staying here. Let's go to the next Red Moon City as soon as possible," Jiao Ba said with some ridicule.

After saying this, his figure soared into the sky, and the three people beside him immediately followed.

"Hmph, let's go too," Jiao Jiu snorted coldly, turned to Han Li and Jiao Sixteen and said, and the three of them also soared into the sky.

The group of seven soon left the city and headed towards the next Red Moon City without stopping.

...

Several days later, the seven arrived in front of a city shrouded in a huge blue restriction, adjacent to a vast lake.

Although it was called a lake, this lake was connected to the sea, and was a small inland sea.

Outside the city was a series of docks, with hundreds of ships coming and going, a spectacular sight.

This city was the Red Moon City of Feng Prefecture.

Speaking of which, this was already the sixth Red Moon City they had visited in the past few days.

As a result, each city was the same as the previous Lan Prefecture Red Moon City. Although there were islanders making pilgrimages and underground spaces, there were no other anomalies.

The seven landed outside the city and mixed into the city.

There were two main roads connecting the four city gates, and a huge circular plaza in the center of the city.

At this time, the city was also overcrowded, and the plaza was filled with pilgrims from all directions.

Han Li scanned with his Bright Sight Spirit Eyes, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Like the previous Red Moon Cities, there were no high-level cultivators in the city. I'm afraid this time it will be another wasted trip, and this is just an ordinary city.

Jiao Ba opened his mouth slightly, about to say something, when a light breeze rose beside him, and Jiao Jiu had already taken Han Li and Jiao Sixteen towards the city.

His eyes flashed coldly, and he couldn't say anything more, taking the remaining three and heading towards another road.

A moment later, the three of Jiao Jiu arrived at a remote corner.

Just as they were about to split up, Jiao Jiu suddenly said to Han Li and Jiao Sixteen: "There is an unwritten rule in the alliance's mission: those who play an important role in the mission will receive additional rewards afterwards, and these rewards are often very generous. Although there are not many clues yet, you must not take it lightly and let this benefit fall into the hands of Jiao Ba and the others."

When Han Li and Jiao Sixteen heard this, they were first stunned, and then bowed to Jiao Jiu and said:

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your guidance."

Jiao Jiu nodded and headed in one direction.

Jiao Sixteen greeted Han Li and quickly walked in another direction, looking impatient.

Han Li turned and walked towards another street, his eyes looking at the shops on both sides, as if looking for something.

At this moment, the pilgrimage in the city seemed to be coming to an end, and many people were walking around in the city, so he did not hide his figure.

After a moment, Han Li quickly walked into a shop on the side of the street, which was also a shop selling books.

The store was not small, with four floors in total. The facade on the first floor had three rooms, each four or five zhang wide, filled with bookshelves.

Because of the pilgrimage, the store's business was bleak, and there were not many customers.

"This guest, what kind of books do you need?" Seeing Han Li come in, a fat middle-aged man with a mustache on his lips greeted him with a smile, looking like the shopkeeper here.

"Do you have any ancient maps, or geographical books, the older the better?" Han Li glanced at the bookshelves in the store and said.

"Maps... we do have some, but they are not very old," the fat middle-aged man said, a strange look flashing in his eyes, but he immediately recovered and said calmly.

Although it was just a fleeting strange color, it naturally could not escape Han Li's eyes.

His heart moved, and a layer of crystalline light appeared in his eyes.

The fat middle-aged man stared blankly at Han Li's eyes, and his expression immediately became sluggish.

"Take out the oldest maps and geographical books you have here," Han Li said lightly.

"Yes," the fat middle-aged man said woodenly, turning and walking inside.

Han Li followed.

A moment later, he walked out of the shop, flipping through a brown-covered book in his hand. The book quality seemed to be some kind of animal skin, which looked extremely ancient.

"Sure enough..." A look of excitement flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he muttered to himself.

Half a day later, the group of seven gathered again, their faces not looking very good.

In this city, they still had no discoveries. The underground space was still empty, with no clues.

"Where is Gongshu Hong hiding! Do you want us, several True Immortals, to keep looking for him on this island?" Jiao Twenty-one, one of Jiao Ba's subordinates, couldn't help complaining.

"Don't worry, although Gongshu Hong is hiding, this is his lair. There are only twenty-odd Red Moon Cities. We will find them one by one, and we will always find some clues. Next, we will go to the Red Moon City of Cang Prefecture," Jiao Ba said, turning to leave.

"Fellow Daoist Jiao Ba, wait a moment. I may have found some clues about the location of that Red Moon Island Master," a voice suddenly sounded, it was Han Li.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at Han Li.

"Really, what clues?" Jiao Jiu asked quickly, delighted.

Han Li flicked his finger, and a piece of water light emerged, condensing into a water mirror, with a pattern floating on it.

"Everyone, please take a look," Han Li said.

Everyone's eyes fell on the water mirror, which showed a map of the island, similar to the Red Moon Island map that Jiao Ba had shown everyone before, but it was a bit more detailed.

"Isn't this the map that Fellow Daoist Jiao Ba supplemented earlier? We have already seen it," Jiao Twenty-five snorted, somewhat disdainfully.

Doubtful looks also appeared in the eyes of others.

"Eh!"

"Eh!"

At this moment, two soft exclamations came, from Jiao Ba and Jiao Jiu.
