Most of the sects nowadays are built in deep mountains and forests.

Because the spiritual energy in these deep mountains and old forests is more abundant, it is more conducive to the disciples' cultivation.

Although it is said that the more disciples a sect has, the stronger it will be, it is not easy to recruit disciples with spiritual roots, and it is also very difficult to raise so many disciples. Therefore, the number of disciples in a sect is generally not too large, and a few hills are enough to accommodate them.

Even if it is built in the deep mountains and forests, the location of the sect is not chosen randomly.

Spiritual stones are the most needed thing for a sect. Without them, how can one support disciples? Therefore, large sects are actually built on spiritual stone veins.

The sect's disciples mined nearby and sent the minerals back to the sect.

But the Lingxiao Sect is different.

According to legend, how powerful was the Lingxiao Sect in the past?

The number of disciples of Lingxiao Sect has reached tens of thousands, so their sect is not located among the mountains, but they built a city like ordinary people.

Only one city can accommodate so many people.

People don't worry that the spiritual energy in the city is not as abundant as that in the deep mountains and old forests, because their city walls are inlaid with spiritual stones, and the spiritual energy is no worse than that in the deep mountains and old forests.

Although they were in the city, Lingxiao Sect also had mineral veins deep in the mountains. However, the mineral veins were a bit far away from the sect.

But the Lingxiao Sect is rich and powerful, so they don't care about the trouble of round-trip transportation.

At that time, all cultivators hoped to join the Lingxiao Sect.

But everything that goes up must come down.

It is because Lingxiao Sect is too powerful that its decline is inevitable.

It is said that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Logically speaking, even if the Lingxiao Sect is going to decline, it will not decline too quickly.

But for some unknown reason, the Lingxiao Sect disappeared overnight.

Another person continued, "From the outside, this city really does look a lot like the Ling Xiao Sect. But back then, the city built by the Ling Xiao Sect should have been located in a prosperous area. How could it be in the middle of a desert?"

"Perhaps this place wasn't a desert before, but became a desert after the Lingxiao Sect disappeared."

Fifty thousand years is really too long.

Although cultivators have long lifespans, their lives will eventually come to an end unless they become immortals.

Fifty thousand years is roughly the lifespan of those who have reached the highest level of cultivation. Therefore, the only people who know about what happened fifty thousand years ago are probably those immortals who have successfully transcended the tribulation.

Lu Muyun listened quietly, not daring to speak so as not to attract attention.

But these high-ranking people had already noticed him.

After all, such a young boy, unlike those short-sighted people who were picking up spirit stones on the city wall outside, came here. How could he not attract their attention?

But they didn't care. After all, this kid was too young and they looked down upon his cultivation. Even if he competed with them for the opportunity, how could he win?

Besides, he wasn't the only one with a long-term vision. There were many others walking in here, and their cultivation wasn't particularly high.

So if you want to follow, then follow! Anyway, the further in you go, the more danger there is. Let's see how long these people can follow us!

Those who have low cultivation in the eyes of these people also include people like Qiu Jichen.

Although the disciples of the big sects are not very rich, they have seen spirit stones and the world, so they naturally would not do such an ugly thing as stealing the spirit stones from the city.

In addition, the disciples of large sects are generally trained to have a long-term vision and are not limited to immediate interests. Compared to these spirit stones, they naturally yearn for more precious things deep in the ruins.

Moreover, this time each sect sent elders to come. With the elders watching over us, we could be more cautious.

Once you enter this city, you naturally have to take a good look around.

Lu Muyun casually pushed open a house nearby.

Although the room was still made of gold, the furnishings inside were not so flashy. The furnishings were simple, and it looked like a disciple's room.

If this is really the Lingxiao Sect of the past.

The room was very clean. If the ruins had really been buried under the yellow sand, why wasn't there even a grain of sand on the streets and in the rooms of this city?

Moreover, after so many years, there is not even a trace of time on this city.

"ah!"

"Help!"

“Help!”

Suddenly a series of screams were heard outside.

Originally, Lu Muyun and the others had entered these rooms to check, but when they heard the screams, they all ran out.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I found that it came from those who were prying the spirit stones on the city wall.

These people struggled and fell off the city wall one after another.

At this time, their appearance became extremely terrifying, as if someone had splashed aqua regia on their bodies and they were all rotten.

Especially the hands, which were rapidly decaying visibly, and soon only bones were left.

And then, holes began to appear on the bones.

When Lu Muyun saw this scene, he immediately understood.

It’s all because of that spirit stone!

Do you really think these spirit stones are ownerless and can be taken whenever you want?

If they dare to embed spirit stones on the city walls, they must have prepared a defense mechanism!

The expressions of those who did not try to pry the spirit stones also changed.

They came to this ruins in search of opportunities. If everything here is untouchable, then what is the point of them coming here?

But those who practice Taoism will not be stopped by such a small difficulty.

Even though they knew there were many dangers in the city, they would definitely continue to move forward.

The group continued their exploration, but they were much more cautious.

Lu Muyun explored a few more rooms and found that they were all similar.

Even if a sect had hidden treasures, they wouldn't hide them in the disciples' rooms. So they could only go deeper.

The crowd gradually dispersed, each looking for their own opportunities.

Just then, a gust of yellow sand blew by.

The yellow sand did not leave any traces in the city, but everyone in the city suddenly found that the scene before them had changed!

Lu Muyun was standing on the street in the city at this time. After the yellow sand blew, he suddenly found that the street was crowded with people!

These people are fighting!

These are not the people who came into the ruins together, so where did these people come from?

Judging from their attire, they seemed to be several groups of people, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered that they were actually several groups attacking the same group!

What did this group of people do to cause public outrage that attracted all the others to attack them?

Lu Muyun knew very well that he was trapped in an illusion, because although he could clearly see the scene in front of him, he could not hear any sound. It seemed that this illusion only recorded the scene, but not the sound.

But just looking at the scene, it was already very real. The combatants passed by him, and the splattered blood seemed to splash on his face. Just by imagining it, he could already hear the sound of fighting.
