Chapter 401 One Hundred Thousand Mountains
A month later, Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er arrived in Bacheng.
As early as when they were in Xunzhou City, they had already heard about the situation in Bacheng.
Looking back now, those statements are really not an exaggeration at all.
Bacheng has almost become a city of cultivators. Cultivators flying with weapons above their heads shuttle back and forth, ignoring the law. The people on the streets are busy and crowded, carrying large and bulky goods out of the city.
It is said that this is because General Yuchi launched a protracted war with the witch clan and the devil in the depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Gods.
The demonic path this time is relatively mysterious, and I can only confirm that it is not the real target of the pursuit, Master Wuyuan.
Bacheng is now in complete chaos. It is a mountain city that is a bit like a port and transportation hub like Xunzhou City. It is not only the mortals who are running business, but also the disciples of the Renzong here, and there are also many casual cultivators who come to join in the fun.
Four years ago, Renzong still did not allow other casual cultivators to enter the city, but now, due to insufficient manpower for the two-front battle, they had to recruit casual cultivators.
This requisition is equivalent to opening a hole and completely losing control.
Based on this situation, Ning Wuxie discussed with everyone and decided to go in first to see the situation. Observe Yuchi Songxu's formation on the bank of the Chouyun River. If you lose, you can retreat calmly.
Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er showed a little bit of their cultivation and said that they were cultivators in the Concentration Realm, so they were hired by the steward disciples of the Renzong and assigned to a group of horses to escort them into the mountain.
The two stayed in the city for a few more days, waiting for the cavalry to set off. Finally, one day they received the news and followed a group of cavalry to Shiwanda Mountain.
The owner of the cavalry team is named Shi Jun. This is their third time in the mountains. The group left Bacheng and headed toward the mountains along a deeply rutted dirt road.
The dirt road extends into the mountain. It is very obvious that the mountain road has been pressed out by people and horses over the years. Even the dense forest on both sides of the road has been cleared to a space of about half a foot.
"Isn't the road condition very good?" Ning Wuxie asked Shi Jun.
"It won't be good from now on." Shi Jun's attitude towards Ning Wuxie was just normal and he didn't want to talk more. It was obviously not the first time he had dealt with casual cultivators.
"How long does it take to reach the bank of Chouyun River?"
"More than half a month." Shi Jun said expressionlessly.
It seemed that he didn't have much interest in talking, so Ning Wuxie stopped asking for trouble and concentrated on walking.
In the following days, he never gave up seeking information from Shi Jun.
For example, why did Yuchi Songxu need so many people to continuously transport supplies inside, and why didn't he let disciples of the Ren Sect use storage rings to transport them.
After hearing Shi Jun's explanation, Ning Wuxie understood what was happening deep in the mountains.
The Wu Gu tribe of the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom was dissatisfied with Yuchi Songxu's military formation on the bank of the Chouyun River and sent people to negotiate. Unexpectedly, Yuchi Songxu directly beheaded the envoy and sent troops to suppress it. Now the capital of the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom has been conquered. capture!
With such deep hatred, how could the Wu Gu Clan surrender? All the Wu Gu Clan in Shiwanda Mountain united and launched a guerrilla attack in the mountains, entangled with Yuchi Songxu's army and the disciples of the Renzong day and night.
Not only that, there is another group of forces in the Chouyun River, a group of demons called the Blood Sect.
They have now united with the Wu Gu clan to fight against Yuchi Songxu.
Although Yuchi Songxu had the cultivation of a heavenly being and could sweep through Nanzhao, the Renzong disciples he led suffered a disaster and suffered extremely high casualties. The five hundred evil tigers under his command are personal soldiers and they also need supplies.
In short, this violent guy has made his stall too big, and now he needs the entire Renzong and Xuan Qin to wipe his ass.
After a few days of getting to know each other, Shi Jun also began to scold Ning Wuxie for Yuchi Songxu's animal behavior.
"That beast doesn't take human life seriously at all. If you ask me, that guy is more evil than the devil!"
After Shi Jun scolded Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er, he glanced at Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er, "Old man, I thought you were rogue cultivators, that's why I said this. If it were those Renzong disciples who were here to guard me, I wouldn't even dare to let go of one, and I would still have to live." Serve."
Ning Wuxie smiled, "Brother Shi, don't worry too much, we are just asking for a bite to eat."
Shi Jun's face became more relaxed and he nodded.
"I really don't know what the Renzong is thinking about finding such a person to encircle and suppress Demon Lord Wuyuan. The witch and Gu tribe of Nanzhao are doing well in the mountains, so why bother with them..."
"Brother Shi also thinks Wuyuan is really a demon?"
Shi Jun was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "We don't know, and we've never been to Dongli Mountain, so it's just what people say..."
"But this Yuchi is a real beast!" He changed his voice and scolded Yuchi Songxu again, "Relying on Renzong's support for his excessive spending, Bacheng has been ruined by him. If he takes the next step, Are you trying to drag people in to fill the hole? That’s the Chouyun River!”
The carriage has entered the true depths of the Shiwanda Mountain, and the spiritual formation that accompanies the carriage to drive away the miasma is running all the time, otherwise a mortal like Shi Jun would become seriously ill if he inhaled it.
The mountain road also became narrow and difficult here. Ning Wuxie walked with Shi Jun at the front, swinging his sword from time to time to cut off the branches and leaves that grew intruding on the road.
Shi Jun's complaint, to put it bluntly, was that the Renzong had forced them to requisition them, and the reward they were given was obviously not commensurate with the difficulty of the task.
The climate in Shiwanda Mountain is hot and humid, with miasma and insects and snakes everywhere, making it difficult for ordinary people to get used to it.
So far, Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er have killed several giant pythons for the caravan, as well as swarms of giant mosquitoes flying from the swamp.
Of course, there was also an invasion of monsters. Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er acted for a while and looked like they were struggling, but they succeeded in killing them in the end.
After that time, Shi Jun and others' attitude towards Ning Wuxie became obviously better, and they talked about everything.
"Oh, fortunately, we can see the Chouyun River in two days." Shi Jun sighed, looking back at his caravan, "Once there, the mountain road will not be so difficult, and the Renzong disciples will also come "Accepted."
Ning Wuxie nodded, "Then let's..."
"Well, you two can go back first. The disciples you pick up will give you a voucher. With the voucher, you two can go back to Bacheng to receive the reward. The remaining Renzong disciples will be responsible."
Shi Jun felt a bit relieved: "To be honest, this trip was the safest. If the other guard monks could be as advanced as the two immortal masters, the old man wouldn't be full of complaints."
"It's a pity that the previous monks couldn't do it. Every time they encountered monsters, they were helpless. It was okay to lose the goods, but the dead couldn't bear it..."
"The two immortal masters are really the strongest guardian cultivators I have ever seen." Shi Jun smiled and cupped his hands.
Ning Wuxie was stunned. He didn't want Shi Jun to realize how advanced he and Xuan'er were. But every time a crisis strikes, we can't just watch the merchant porters being eaten.
Unexpectedly, the guardian cultivator who was not in trouble was already very strong?
"Luck, just luck..." He waved his hand.
"Hey, you cultivating immortals is all about good fortune. If the two immortal masters are lucky, their future achievements will definitely be limitless..."
"Immortal Master?"
Shi Jun said nothing because he saw Ning Wuxie suddenly turning his head and staring at the jungle in front of him on the left. There are twisted old trees covered with moss and ivy, and a broad fern leaf is swaying slightly.
"Is there a monster?" Shi Jun suddenly became nervous and raised his hand to signal the entire team to stop.
Ning Wuxie said nothing, stood up, and looked back at the end of the team.
Xuan'er there also stood up and looked at him.
She felt it too.
Not a monster, but a human being.
They have been surrounded.
