Chapter 450: The Secret of the Deserted City Cannot Be Revealed
It is said that this place is picturesque... Impossible!
That young man was actually not affected by the "Illusion Formation" in the Ancient Wilderness Vein? !
To protect the secrets here.
The strong men of the deserted city put in a lot of effort and used up half of the resources they brought with them to build a huge "magic array" in order to prevent the "truth" here from being exposed to the world.
No matter who comes here, as long as their cultivation does not exceed the True Immortal Stage, or they fail to obtain the tacit approval of the "Illusionary Array", they will remain in illusion forever! 𝚗ov𝚙𝚞𝚋.c𝚘m
certainly.
This formation is harmless. Its purpose is to completely change the outside world's perception of the ancient wilderness into a negative impression of "barren, desolate, sparsely populated, no profit and only a waste of time"
With such a big move, no matter who comes here, they will definitely be affected, but has this young man in front of him seen through the essence of the "Illusion Formation"? !
That leaves only one explanation.
This person's cultivation level has surpassed the True Immortal Stage!
If even Yuan Chou couldn't tell the depth of this young man, if such a master really had evil intentions towards their deserted city...
"Brother Yuan, could this be the guy sent by those bastards from 'Xuxian Heaven and Earth' to investigate this place?"
Jin Qian's eyes were immediately filled with murderous intent, as if he wanted to pick up a kitchen knife and chop the two masters and apprentices who were eating outside.
If those two people are really the people from the virtual immortal world who came here to explore this place, then they must not leave alive!
Otherwise, once the people of "Xuxian World" notice something unusual here, the entire city will be in danger!
and.
That young man must at least be a true immortal, and the disciple beside him has the noble and powerful bloodline of the descendants of the immortal world...
It can't be wrong!
That young man must have been sent by "Xuxian World" to pick up the extremely talented little girl and bring her back to Xuxian World for training, and he came to this place on the way!
Wait for him to come back.
I will definitely report the situation in this place to those bastards!
"Don't mess around."
Yuan Chou immediately stopped Jin Qian's impulse, and then said: "I don't think they are from the 'Xuxian World'."
This made Jin Qian even more confused.
"But how is this possible? Apart from the Xuxian World, which has the means to receive the 'blessings of the fairy world', there can be no other forces in the Xuantian World that can obtain the 'original breath'!"
"You are wrong. It is not only the Xuxian world that can cultivate immortal-level practitioners."
Yuan Chou snorted coldly and said, "There are so many strange things in this world, anything can happen, don't think that this Xuantian Realm is so superficial."
"..."
Jin Qian was stunned, then suddenly realized, "Brother Yuan, are you talking about the inheritance left behind during the Five Realms War?"
"It's hard to say."
Yuan Chou's face was also full of thought. Too many uncertainties made him dare not jump to conclusions.
Of course, the two outsiders outside had just caused Yuan Chou to almost suffer a cardiac arrest, and they were planning to kill him at the city gate. However, after detecting Gu Heng, they cautiously told him that this young man was definitely more powerful than him.
Otherwise, that young man could not be just a "mortal" in his eyes. The only possibility was that he was much stronger than himself, so that Yuan Chou could not see his true cultivation level.
Moreover, the other party doesn't seem like the kind of person who comes prepared and full of tricks.
All along, the Desolate City had to do its best to hide its tracks, so as not to be discovered by the spies of the "Xuxian World" and then attacked them in a large scale. If they were not careful and clashed with a powerful outsider...
Under such conflict, this ancient and vast vein might be directly destroyed!
How can I hide then?"No matter what, we must not act rashly." Yuan Chou shook his head. "From the contact just now, I think he is not easy to mess with."
Jin Qian frowned, "What should we do then?"
"What else can I do?" Yuan Chou snorted coldly, "In this matter, your and my opinion have no say. I have to inform Master Shu and Master Hua and make a decision as soon as possible."
"Before that, I'd like to ask you to keep them steady and keep an eye on them. Remember, don't alert them. If you find any unusual movements from them, tell me immediately. Remember, don't fight them head-on."
"I understand. I know the importance of this."
Jin Qian patted his chest and agreed.
...
"Hiccup~"
Qin Yiyao leaned back in her chair, burped in a rather unpresentable manner, then rubbed her round belly and sighed, "I'm so full."
Gu Heng, who was feeding Xiaobai roasted chicken legs, glanced at her when he heard this.
"I usually see you eat so much, why do you eat so deliciously today?"
"Well, because it's delicious."
She sat up and stared at her master: "Master, are you planning to settle here?"
"Well, I don't think there are many people here, so there should be vacancies inside. However, I won't open a clinic this time, so as to avoid too much work."
Gu Heng looked out the window.
"Girl, do you know why I chose this place?"
Qin Yiyao thought for a moment and said, "This ancient wilderness vein is relatively close to the Central Region. I guess Master moved here for me, right?"
"Yes, this place is on the edge of the Eastern Frontier, far away from the Demon Realm, but also very close to the Central Region. Beyond the Ancient Wilderness Vein, to the west is the ancestral state of a certain Central Continent Dynasty. It will be very helpful for your cultivation."
The reason why Gu Heng did not plan to stay in Yunling City was, firstly, that place would be hit by war and could not be stayed for long; secondly, although the Central Region was more chaotic than the Eastern Frontier, at least there was no need to worry about the iron hooves of the demon army, and it was more suitable for the little girl to train herself.
She is a practitioner now.
Practitioners cannot stay at home every day, they need to go out and see the world, gain experience and sharpen themselves, otherwise even the best seedlings will find it difficult to grow into towering trees.
Although Gu Heng wanted to follow her all the time, it was a pity that his current level of cultivation was so low that he could only hold her back.
The system doesn't give you many props, so you have to use them to the best of your ability every time.
He would stay here, thinking of ways to improve his own cultivation, and at the same time provide help to Qin Yiyao in times of emergency.
Best of both worlds.
"From now on, you can do whatever you want without any worries. If you have any trouble, you can ask me for help."
"Master is so kind..."
After hearing this, Qin Yiyao nodded happily with a sweet smile.
Whatever.
It is actually quite suitable to settle down here.
She didn't know much about this place, but she knew a lot about the Zhongzhou Dynasty on the other side of the ancient wilderness!
For example, the Central Region clan state closest to the ancient wilderness vein is called "Yanluo Kingdom". It is the weakest among the dozens of clan states in the Zhongzhou Dynasty and is even weaker than the Riyan Dynasty.
But it is, after all, a vassal state of the Zhongzhou Dynasty, and has someone to protect it. Besides, other vassal states don't want to touch it because they think it is too weak. If they send troops to attack it, they won't even be able to get back their capital. So even though Yanluo is one of the last vassal states, it is still extremely peaceful.
But others have no interest in Yanluo Kingdom.
She does.
Qin Yiyao thought about it, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing an evil smile.
It's time to start from scratch and conquer the world!Wasn't it during the fusion period when she first began to think about becoming the empress of the dynasty?
The Great Qin Empire grew bigger and stronger little by little, and all of a sudden it was something Qin Yiyao had never imagined. Even though she now had a good master to back her up, she didn't plan to be so comfortable.
People just need to give themselves more challenging things.
"My dear guests, did you enjoy your meal?"
Jin Qian, with his fat belly, brought some candied fruits and cakes to Gu Heng and Qin Yiyao. When Qin Yiyao saw the sweets, her eyes immediately lit up.
Although this deserted city is shabby and the inn is shabby, the food served here looks delicious.
She took a bite of the candied fruit cake.
So sweet, so sweet, so sweet! ! ! !
"Very good, I am a little flattered by the shopkeeper's hospitality."
Gu Heng picked up a grape and put it into his mouth.
"What's the shopkeeper's name?"
"Haha, you're welcome. My name is Jin Qian, not Qian, which means money. I mean Qian, which means the universe."
Jin Qian said cheerfully, and sat down naturally, pouring himself a cup of fragrant tea: "In our small place, we rarely see people from outside."
"Indeed, this place is sparsely populated. I guess not many people from outside come here."
Gu Heng said thoughtfully.
"That's right, but I heard recently that the demon army is invading in a big way! They are attacking cities and strongholds along the way. Many forces in the East Frontier have started to flee with their families, but they want to go to the Central Region, and they won't pass through here."
Jin Qian clicked his tongue.
"We came from that side."
Gu Heng touched Qin Yiyao's head. The latter was like a little hamster at this time, lowering his head and slowly chewing his candied fruit cake.
Emperor Shengyao can resist any temptation except sweets.
"You two are also fleeing?"
Jin Qian's heart sank.
"Well, what else can we do? After all, we are just two people who are looking for a place to make a living in this chaotic world."
Gu Heng sighed.
During this journey, Gu Heng also heard a lot of news coming from the border between East Frontier and Demon Territory.
It is said that the demon army is unstoppable. On the ground, there are tens of thousands of powerful beasts born for war, rushing around. Even the monks in the Spirit Severing and Combination stages find it difficult to resist and are about to be trampled into pulp. In the sky, there are flying beasts and monsters that cover the sky...
Three days after they left Yunling City.
Gu Heng heard that the Riyan Dynasty had been destroyed.
Emperor Riyan himself led his ministers and the royal guards to stand firm in the capital of Riyan, fighting desperately. At least he bought time for many common people to escape. However, in the end, the city was destroyed and people were killed.
It is said that on that day, the Flame Emperor burned his blood and essence for the last time, bursting out with a strength comparable to that of the first stage of the Mahayana, killing the demon army along the way and causing heavy losses, forcing the great demon of the Mahayana stage on the demon side to make an extraordinary move and kill him...
Although Gu Heng had no feelings towards Emperor Yan that day, it was still a pity that he ended up like this.
Only three days after the war started, most of the forces on the edge of East Border had ended up like this.
Although they were not completely destroyed, they were also seriously injured. Even if they defeated the demons and came back again in the future, it would be difficult for them to recover their former appearance.
Even the forces commanded by the ninth and tenth level strong men could only resist for a few days...
This is the war that the demons are fighting with all their might.
