Chapter 398 Xunzhou City
Disembarking from the southeast coast, everyone still entered the territory of Shangyun Kingdom.
The southern part of the Shangyun Dynasty was richer than the northern part. There were many commercial ports along the southeast coast and it was very prosperous with people coming and going.
In order to reduce the noise, everyone else stayed in the small world. Only Ning Wuxie, Xuan'er and Ning Chen were outside.
Naturally, the two of them pretended to be a mortal couple. After all, the most dangerous place is the safest place. The world is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and even if the Human Sect has great strength, it cannot screen all the mortals one by one.
Ren Zong is the leader of the world of righteous cultivators, but he is not an emperor in the secular world.
In a crowded inn and restaurant in Xunzhou City, southeast of Shangyun, Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er heard the surrounding merchants nervously chatting about the news they had heard recently:
"Master Wuyuan destroyed the four towns of Dongli?! Isn't he the best casual cultivator in the world?"
"What real person? It's the Demon Lord!"
"I know a cargo owner in Dongli Prefecture. He said that he saw with his own eyes that all four towns in Dongli were gone and the entire land was scorched!"
Everyone was silent for a moment, all feeling scared.
"These damn monks will never regard the lives of us mortals as our lives!"
"Hush, don't dare to say nonsense. It's that guy Wuyuan who fell into the devil's path and practiced evil!"
"Shang Yun should send someone to deal with it, or should he ask Confucianism to negotiate with Renzong?"
"No need to ask, the Human Sect has already come forward, and it is said that the Strange Fire Tower has been destroyed."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the wine shop was shocked again: "Strange Fire Tower?! Is it also related to that group of people?"
"It is said that because he stayed behind closed doors and refused to investigate, he was destroyed by the old man You Youxin, the owner of Zhujian Villa."
Everyone sighed: "Fortunately, the Human Sect and the Human Emperor can mobilize so much power."
But some people expressed doubts: "But the Renzong's recent actions are not only in the east, but also in the south and north. It seems that they have also sent people there. Is there also a demonic path there?"
…
Ning Wuxie picked up the teapot and poured Xuan'er a cup of tea.
The merchants, boatmen, bodyguards and martial artists in the inn had different opinions. They tried to piece together the whole story, but their opinions became more and more outrageous.
But no matter what, no one suspected the real culprits on the Emperor and Renzong.
One is because of the authority represented by Renzong and Renhuang, and the other is because Renzong is nominally the protector of mortals. Therefore, people generally do not speculate on them with malicious intent.
But more often than not, ordinary people don't care, or are relatively numb.
For the mortals at the bottom, things in the world of immortality are out of reach. Whether they know the truth or not, they are powerless to change it.
But after all, mortals are still the backbone of the world, not to mention the large number of slaves attached to the sect royal family to provide services to them. In fact, mortals are the core and creator of the entire human civilization.
After all, practitioners are also human beings.
Cultivators also start out as mortals, especially casual cultivators who do not have the support of aristocratic sects.
Therefore, morally and in the most basic ethics, the right path should be supported by everyone, and monks should protect mortals and refrain from harming them.
However, this kind of moral understanding is like a layer of window paper, which will be broken if you poke it. In fact, there will always be people who will poke it.
Otherwise, no one would become a demon.
According to the Skyfire Emperor, this layer of window paper simply did not exist thousands of years ago due to the threat of extraterrestrial demons.
Mortals really live like pigs and dogs, and are kept in captivity like domestic animals.
It wasn't until the Great Emperor sealed the way of heaven and blocked the way for the outside demons to come in and cause chaos that the Lingwu Continent was finally restored.
The Great Xia Dynasty was no longer able to maintain its rule and split into five dynasties. In the friction and competition with each other, human civilization developed rapidly, its territory expanded, and technology advanced, reaching what it is today.
But ordinary people don't know. They don't understand what happened thousands of years ago, and they can't see what will happen in the future. They have only a lifespan of a hundred years and can only see in front of them, and see the human sect killing the devil to protect them.
This is also normal.
Ning Wuxie drank the last cup of tea, feeling inexplicably sad.
He is Wuyuan Zhenren and also the Heavenly Fire Emperor.
The latter's actions back then directly affected this world for tens of thousands of years, allowing Lingwu Continent to be the grand event it is today.
In order to maintain all this, the former was slandered and slandered and became the target of public criticism.
Ning Wuxie looked at Xuan'er, who was holding her arm, and then at Ning Chen, who was being held by one hand.
The little guy looked around with interest, pointed at the novelties and said incoherent words.
Xuan'er is his present, and Chen'er is his future.
No matter which one he was for, there was no reason for him to fail.
Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er found an inconspicuous house, bought it, and started practicing day after day.
Xunzhou City has dozens of times more people than the four towns in Dongli. It is also a port city. There are countless people entering and leaving the city every day. There are also many people who go ashore to rest for a few days and then go out to sea to run boats.
So Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er don't need to find another profession to pretend to be mortals, and there are no cultivators here to monitor them. They just need to close the door and live their own small lives.
After putting Chen'er into the yard, Ning Wuxie opened the small world and called everyone out.
The euphemistic name is "Come out for some air," but he actually wants everyone to help him clean up.
"Have you arrived at Xunzhou City?" Master Wuyuan asked.
"Here we are, everything is set up, and the Jueyun Negative Qi Formation given by Senior Qiuxian has also been activated." Ning Wuxie stamped his feet, indicating that the formation was under the floor tiles under his feet.
Wuyuan nodded and looked around. There were enough rooms in the courtyard, so he found a room and went in to clean it.
After everything was taken care of, everyone met in the center of the courtyard to eat.
Li Luobing dressed up and went out to buy food for everyone. She was now like everyone's little maid.
"Chou Yunjiang's Sad Blood Knife... do you have any thoughts?" While eating, Wu Yuan suddenly asked in a deep voice.
From the moment he started eating, he frowned and said nothing, and everyone could tell that something was on his mind.
He looked up at everyone. Everyone was holding a bowl and shook their heads.
"The Chouyun River is probably occupied by Yuchi Songxu now." Xiao Qiuxian said, "This time, we probably can't admit that we succeeded without paying attention."
Yan Xiao also nodded: "When Ye Qingxuan realizes that the Donghai Guanyan Spear is also missing, he will probably send people to surround Xuelong Ridge and the Chouyun River on the third floor and the third floor outside."
"Does that mean... there must be a battle?" Wuyuan said solemnly.
Ning Wuxie already knew the information obtained by You Youshan and Yan Xiao in Dongli Mountain.
He had no impression of Yuchi Songxu and Nalan Tianying.
Because according to the memory of the past life, these are all powerful people who have been famous for a long time, and they are not of the same generation as Ning Wuxie.
By the time Ning Wuxie became the Taoist disciple of the Renzong and entered the upper-level circle of immortal cultivators, all these people had already been killed by Xuan'er.
So Ning Wuxie didn't feel anything at this moment, he just knew that these were two powerful men from the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
"When I was in the Penetrating Flame Spear, the Heavenly Fire Emperor once told me to at least have the strength of a heavenly immortal before I go."
"Really? Is that what the emperor said?" Upon hearing the emperor's instructions, everyone who was confused suddenly became excited.
Ning Wuxie nodded.
"How long will it take for you to reach the Celestial Realm now?" Wu Yuan asked hurriedly.
"I've been on the road recently and haven't had enough time to practice..." Ning Wuxie said, "But I think... it should be three to five years."
"Three to five years?!" Everyone was surprised, and their movements of picking up vegetables were frozen.
"Are you sure?!" You Youshan asked with big eyes, "Are you in the early stage of human immortality and going to the heavenly realm?"
"It's just a feeling..." Ning Wuxie didn't dare to boast too much.
"Okay, if you can tell me this number, it means you are still confident." Wuyuan's face was filled with joy.
"Then we will start living in seclusion here, starting in three years, with five years as the upper limit. Once five years are up, no matter what Ning Wuxie's state is, we will change places."
Everyone nodded, agreeing with the plan.
"Let's eat, practice hard, and pay attention to find out the news... The next time we fight with them, we will really face life and death."
