Chapter 126: Black Mountain Demon Land
Chapter 126: Black Mountain Demon Land (Thanks to Master Qilong for being the leader!)
From the perspective of family affection, he would rather believe that his third uncle is dead.
From a human perspective, the old guy most likely ran away and deliberately hid the truth from him, hoping that he would take the blame for his dereliction of duty.
The second guess is more realistic, isn't it?
Therefore, Yuan Qu's emotions are now quite tense, even to the point of being on the verge of exploding.
At this moment, a subordinate who was at the third level of Qi training came running over, looking a little strange and said:
"City Lord Yuan, the High Envoy has ordered action."
"what?"
Yuanqu almost jumped up, grabbed his subordinate's collar, his eyes red.
"Is he crazy? It's daytime now, and the higher-ups will definitely find out if he robs people like this!"
"no……"
The subordinate said nervously.
"The Lord and several disciples of the Lingjiu Sect seem to want to search the entire city for a mysterious person. This person captured the Lord's disciple, a cultivator named Wang Wu, last night."
Yuanqu then calmed down a little.
"Wang Wu? I know him. Is he missing?"
"Yes."
"You little bastard, you're still wasting my time at this time."
After cursing a few times, Yuan Qu gradually calmed down. He felt that something was wrong, and his uncle's spotless bamboo house appeared in his mind again.
"No, where is the envoy sent by Lingjiu Sect?"
The subordinate wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"The envoy said he would go out of the city to look for it, and leave the city to us."
"Shit, he ran away... He must have run away!"
In this world, the smarter people are, the more they believe in themselves. But there are also some paranoid people who think they are different from others and start their conversation with "Am I just the one who thinks..."
He wants to show off his superiority and uniqueness, but he doesn't realize that he is just like a clown in the eyes of others. He cannot see the excellence of others and his own shortcomings.
While being tough on the outside, he always lives in his own world.
Yuanqu is between this kind of people and smart people. He is not smart, but he firmly believes in the truth he has deduced.
He was sure that the old city lord and the envoy had run away, so they ran away!
I don't see the unreasonableness of this speculation.
For example, why did the old city lord let him inherit Shihu City, why did he live in seclusion nearby, and why he could not see the mission of the envoy, and stubbornly believed in the "truth" he guessed.
"It must be the people from the Tianxu Sword Sect coming. Run...if it's too late, you'll die. That's right...it's time to run!"
Yuanqu murmured to himself in an inaudible voice.
After a long time, he looked up.
"Order, everyone immediately carry out the looting mission, and put all the people you bring at the entrance of tunnel number four and wait for the order from the superior."
"Yes."
The subordinates received the order without asking any questions and immediately carried it out.
After his men walked away, Yuan Qu, who seemed calm and composed, staggered away like a frightened dog. Judging from the direction he was going, he should be packing up his valuables.
It is hard to understand why he would do such a thing even though he is obviously not very courageous.

In the unknown forest, Wang Yu carried the unconscious Wang Wu and used the Thousand Miles Divine Travel to move forward towards the Black Mountain Pass. He was not familiar with the topography of the Taihu Spirit Realm, but he knew the direction of the Black Mountain Pass. Using this as a landmark, he knew that to the north was the Dead Leaf Swamp and to the south was the Black Mountain Demon Land.
In these two areas, there are more than one demon beasts in the Jindan stage who rule the land.
According to his plan, he would not be able to return to the Nilingxue Sect in the short term, and he had made preparations to break through the foundation-building process in the Taihu Spirit Realm. All the resources were ready, Wang Wu was also in hand, and he was just waiting for the secret method to be completed.
At that time, after successfully breaking through, he would directly cross one of the two dangerous places, and then return to the sect to plan further matters.
What he had to do now was to set up a temporary cave that was hidden enough and wait quietly for the day of success.
Compared to the harsh swamp environment, the Black Mountain Demon Land is a primitive landform composed of mountains. It is full of vitality and has many third-level spirit veins, as well as many second- and first-level derived spirit veins.
When he practiced, he had almost no requirements for the environment, except when he was reaching a breakthrough.
As long as you find a suitable location on the periphery, you can live in seclusion.
Another thing is that the six members of the slave-hunting team went north with a secret mission and disappeared, and have not returned since. He went south deliberately to avoid them.
In case it is difficult to explain, his choice is quite reasonable no matter how you look at it.
We traveled all the way like this without encountering any accidents.
It took Wang Yu nearly half a month to reach the destination. During the journey, Wang Wu woke up several times, but was knocked unconscious by Wang Yu. Now his whole face is swollen.
The neck is also drooping, giving a sense of beauty as if the spine is dislocated.
The appearance of the Black Mountain Demonic Land was different from the Xuan Bone Mountain and Spider Mountain he had seen before. The land was fertile, full of spiritual energy, and the air was filled with the fragrance of nature.
There are towering ancient trees hundreds of meters high everywhere, the grass is lush and full of vitality, and the vegetation and thatch on the ground are about ten feet high. People who fall into them are as if they are invisible.
Only cultivators would come to such places, either to hunt monsters or to look for elixirs and rare treasures, since these two areas were close to Black Mountain Pass.
Normal cultivators from the Taihu Spirit Realm would usually settle in [Hei Xiong City] near the Heishan Pass, and move around with this place as the center.
Wang Yu has no identity, so it is not easy to approach rashly. After all, he doesn't even know the common sense of the cultivation world in Taihu Spirit Realm. It is better to stay away.
"This is it."
After entering the Black Mountain Demon Land, Wang Yu no longer flew into the air with the Blue Butterfly Sword, but landed on the ground and began to walk through the forest.
As they went deeper, they occasionally encountered second-level monsters, so they used the invisibility technique learned from the Hidden Dragon Bone to bypass the edge.
From the outermost hills, they went deep into the edge of the inner circle, and only stopped when they were about to enter.
According to his personality, it is normal to plan ahead.
The maps that had been collected in the Nilingxue Sect for some time had played a certain role. Although there was no map of the Taihu Spirit Realm, the Black Mountain Demon Land was also adjacent to the Chiyuan Demon Realm.
Both are places for monks of the two sects to explore, and are equivalent to places for daily exploration by both sides.
Some rough or incomplete maps still exist.
After careful identification, Wang Yu walked a few miles to the right, and a rock wall that looked as if it had been carved by a knife or an axe came into view. The exaggerated crack in the center was extremely eye-catching.
This is the result of natural evolution.
Seeing the cracked cliff, Wang Yu finally felt a little relieved. He entered from the bottom, continued forward along the narrow path, turned three corners, and walked dozens of steps, and then the view suddenly opened up.
There’s a whole new world inside!
This was a refuge discovered by a disciple of the Demon Sect three hundred years ago. At that time, the Demon Sect invaded the Taihu Spirit Realm, looted it, and when they were returning with the spoils, they were robbed and killed by the righteous monks.
Outnumbered, they scattered and fled into the Black Mountain demon land to survive.
So I found such a place.
This is the information Wang Yu found in the biography of a monk in the Sutra Hall. The owner of the biography was a foundation-building monk who had already passed away.
Therefore, it is relatively safe here.
