After flying around the Wuduan Mountains, they soon discovered another place that was obviously different from the surrounding ones.

A mortal city emerged in the empty area left by the felling of large tracts of trees.

As for how to distinguish whether it is a mortal city or a cultivator city, that is too simple.

The height of the city walls, whether the walls are covered with runes, whether there are obvious fluctuations of spiritual energy in the city, and the scale and discoveries of the buildings.

Anyway, Jiang Li had never seen a city for cultivating immortals that only had two-story simple wooden houses and a city wall only about ten feet high. It was extremely low-end.

In this pure land, there is actually a mortal city. If it is not a branch of a foreign nation isolated from the world, it can only be moved here by monks, and then developed to this day after experiencing the multiplication and expansion of time.

As for the purpose, it is naturally their cheap labor.

As for larger sects, they can still be self-sufficient with low-level disciples.

Sects like the Mo Sect do not rely on quantity to win.

There were not enough people to begin with, and the puppet mechanisms they needed to make required a large amount of spiritual wood as material.

However, we cannot use the already limited number of low-level disciples to do the felling work. That would be too wasteful.

Therefore, they need one or more mortal gathering places nearby to serve them.

Even if a hundred mortals could only cut down trees as fast as one Qi Refining Stage disciple, it would still be profitable, because mortals' labor was free.

After locking onto the Wuduan Mountains in some way, the cultivators of the Tielang Sect were not stupid.

In addition to sending out wolf riders to conduct a blanket search bit by bit.

They also found this place as soon as possible.

As long as we can find some clues in this mortal city, we can follow the clues and find the location of Qianluo City.

Jiang Li and the top leaders of Chongshan League lowered their flying altitude and landed in front of the city gate.

At this time, three giant wolves emitting metallic luster suddenly jumped out of the city.

"Who are you? The Iron Wolf Sect is doing business, outsiders please get out of here immediately!"

Jiang Li did not hide his tracks and was soon discovered by the people from the Iron Wolf Sect.

On the back of the Iron Wolf, there were three Jindan-stage monks, each holding a bone spear magic weapon in their hands, and with the giant wolf under them, their strength was quite good.

After all, this kind of sect war often means there are bargains to be made.

As for getting a bargain, a group of creatures called Sanxiu are the ones who love it the most.

Many independent cultivators from the Eastern Region heard the news and gathered here.

No one likes this kind of uncontrollable factor. In order to prevent any accidents from happening in the future, the Iron Wolf Sect naturally wants to drive them away.

But unfortunately, their Iron Wolf Sect has not yet joined the Temple of the Gods, and it is not a well-known large sect.

If you act too arrogantly towards the outside world, you may offend some big shot before you achieve your goal.

It would be hilarious if our sect was destroyed right away.

Buzz! A circle of momentum ripples invisible to the naked eye spread out, and the originally noisy wind also quieted down at this moment.

The three iron wolves whimpered, lay down on the ground, and consciously shrank to the sides of the road.

The three monks on the wolf's back were also trembling all over.

That was definitely a top cultivator who was two levels above them! They were also in tears, guarding the gate properly, why did they always encounter such a situation.

After the top leaders of Chongshan League released their aura, the three disciples of Tielang Sect decisively chose to play dead.

Their mission was not to create such a great enemy for the sect. Reporting the situation to the sect afterwards was what they should do.

Entering this city made up of loggers, every door in the city was closed and it was under 24-hour martial law.

But even in this situation, there are still many pedestrians on the streets.

The small forces of scattered cultivators coming from all over formed a force that the Iron Wolf Sect could not ignore. They could only draw an area and let them move freely.

The most dangerous place is the safest place. It was indeed a little unexpected for him that the people from Mo Men proposed to meet here.

Jiang Li made a gesture and the nine elders dispersed.

When they walked together, they were indeed too conspicuous. In order to prevent any accidents, they kept a certain distance from each other and protected each other secretly.

"Little brother, is that you?"

After walking alone for a while in this ordinary mortal city that didn't even have a name, a voice suddenly called Jiang Li.

This is a tall, dark-skinned, middle-aged monk who looks honest.

"This old man, what a coincidence."

This monk had also met Jiang Li once before.

It was the cultivator from Wantumen Wu Loulan who was in Fengyang City at that time and reminded him to be careful.

Jiang Li took a closer look and found that this person was also a Jindan.

In the world of immortal cultivation in Dachongshan, to become a Jindan cultivator, you either have to found a sect and become famous, or you have to be a senior elder in one of the major sects . But in the Eastern Region, you can actually meet one on the street.

"My younger brother Jiang Li, I don't know your elder brother?"

Jiang Li did not hide his real name. With his identity, he could not hide such a thing.

"Haha, my name is Zhao Tiangang. Little brother, you are a foundation-building cultivator, why are you here? Did you get separated from your elders?"

"Come with me here. It would be bad if we were discovered by the people of the Iron Wolf Sect."

They walked into a streetside tavern, where the mortal merchants were greeting customers nervously.

It seemed that he was forced to open the business, and he had no way of refutation of the orders of the monk.

But God knows why so many big shots came to his restaurant today.

"Someone asked me to come here, where are you, Brother Zhao?"

Jiang Li looked at the structure of the restaurant out of habit. There was no spiritual energy, no traps, and the building materials were just ordinary wood. There shouldn't be any danger.

They found a table in the corner and sat down. Jiang Li did not touch any of the food in the restaurant, but Zhao Tiangang ordered a pot of mortal wine and started drinking it.

"There are actually people who would meet in such a troubled place. Could it be that the person you met is from the Mo Sect?"

Zhao Tiangang deliberately lowered his voice and made it sound like a line, as if what they were saying was somewhat shameful.

"Hey, don't be afraid, little brother. I'm here to find Mo Men as well."

"I have received favors from the Mo Sect before. This time I came to the Wuduan Mountains to see if I can help."

The other party smiled, and it didn't look like he was faking it.

"Brother Zhao is a man of high moral integrity. Jiang Li admires him. Nowadays, there are not many people who know how to repay a favor."

Jiang Li didn't go out for a walk, but sat in the restaurant and chatted with Zhao Tiangang.

The other party has been here for many years and has a huge advantage in all aspects of intelligence.

Jiang Li was still concerned about the current state of the Mo Sect, how many top cultivators were left, how many people from the Iron Wolf Sect had come this time, and which famous independent cultivators had appeared.

The other party seemed reluctant to reveal information about Mo Men.

But as for the independent cultivators, he can be said to know them all, such as Liu Yong with the Eight-Star Hand, Ku Gou with Yan Ji Shan, Pan Gu with the Purple Luo Skirt, and so on and so forth.

This time, they probably don't think highly of Mo Men.

After all, it was a sect at the end of its strength, and how could it withstand the attack from the Iron Wolf Sect, which was once a force of the same level.

However, the Mo Sect is good at mechanical training and has a long history. It is said that there are a lot of treasures hidden inside Qianluo City. If you can make a fortune from it, it will be worth the trip.

At this moment, Jiang Li suddenly sensed something.

"It seems that the person who is looking for me has arrived."

On the eaves not far away, a little sparrow appeared at some point.

Jiang Li lightly hooked his finger, and the sparrow flapped its wings and flew towards him, landing on his hand, looking around curiously. Its movements were so vivid, just like a real bird.

But if you look closely, you can find that the feathers of this bird are actually leaves as thin as cicada wings.

This was, of course, the puppet wooden bird that Jiang Li had enlightened on the spot.

Then it was returned to the Momen party so that they could use it as a sample to check its quality.

Of course, given their cautious nature, it was sealed afterwards, so that Jiang Li could not use this thing to directly find the other party’s headquarters.

After agreeing on the terms of the meeting, the two sides agreed to meet in this logger city.

At that time, they just need to unlock the seal of the wood demon, and the bird will lead them to find Jiang Li automatically.

Now that Muque has arrived, the people from Momen will naturally be nearby.

The wooden bird landed in his hand, and soon a group of people came over from the end of the street outside.

There are four monks, one man and three women, young and old.

They were wearing very ordinary clothes and hoods as they walked into the tavern.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

When you get closer, you can see that there is an old woman, an old man, and two beautiful women, one big and one small.

The people of Mo Men use puppets all year round, so if their real bodies appear at a time like this, it will not attract attention.

"My Muque is here! He is big brother Jiang Li!"

When the little girl saw the woodpecker perched on Jiang Li's hand, she immediately started chirping excitedly.

This was originally a puppet she made by hand. Now it was transformed into a wood demon by Jiang Li and given life. The spirituality of that life made the little girl treat it as a pet.

The elder next to her promptly held her shoulders and told the little girl not to make any sound.

Another young woman also stepped forward and saluted.

"Master Jiang, you can come to support us in person. Momen is very grateful. My daughter Ziyao, this is Mr. Mei and Aunt Mei, and this is Xiaoyu."

"Also, you guys know Brother Tian Gang? If we had known this, we would have been too suspicious."

The woman named Zi Yao was the one in charge among the four of them.

He spoke very politely, and after introducing himself to Jiang Li, he suddenly turned to look at Zhao Tiangang next to him.

It was obvious from their conversation that they had known each other for a long time.

Zhao Tiangang was stunned for a long time before he reacted. Mo Men said that they would welcome a distinguished guest today, and Jiang Li also said that he would come to meet him, but he never expected that this distinguished guest would be just a foundation-building cultivator.

"Ahem, Jiang Li and I just met by chance. I didn't expect that Brother Jiang is actually the leader of Chongshan League. I'm so sorry for the disrespect."

Zhao Tiangang scratched his head and looked at Jiang Li still in disbelief.

People at other tables around also turned around and nodded. It turned out that this group of people were all from Mo Sect.

"This is really fate, but you actually set up a secret base directly in the city, which is quite clever. I can't see any flaws in this restaurant."

Jiang Li glanced at the building again and still found no clues.

"This... Hehe, it's just the situation. This is not the place to talk. Let's go back to Qianluo City first."

Zhao Tiangang stood up and pushed a stone brick on the wall, and the ground below immediately opened to both sides, revealing a long corridor below.

“What an ingenious design!”

Jiang Li looked at the passage that appeared and couldn't help but praise it.

"Because the construction of this restaurant relies entirely on exquisite mechanical techniques, without using any spiritual energy, it just hits the blind spot of the monks' thinking, which makes it even more difficult to be discovered."

"So many of you are hiding in this city. Yet you haven't been discovered. Have the mortals in this city never seen you?"

Jiang Li still had some doubts. To ordinary people, cultivators were like gods. Once they took a look at them, it would be engraved in their hearts and never forgotten.

But they can still walk directly on the street.

"This is the rule of our Mohist sect. Mohists should hide themselves from the world."

"We haven't developed the habit of appearing as puppets recently, so the mortals here don't know us."

Is that so?

The Mo Sect is said to have a long history. After being defeated in a large-scale war many years ago, it adopted such a low-key and secluded sect rule.

Now it seems that it is really useful.

They went down all the way and entered a wide underground passage more than a hundred feet underground, which was beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.

In this passage, Jiang Li was a little dumbfounded when he saw some familiar things.

There is a subway in this tunnel?

Two straight and parallel metal tracks extend all the way along the passage to both sides.

That scene was so out of place in this world of cultivating immortals.

"Let me do it, let me do it!"

The little girl named Xiaoyu was very excited. She jumped to a mechanical handle on the side, held it with both hands and pushed it hard.

Soon, the rumbling sound of metal and wooden wheels rubbing against each other gradually approached from a distance.

Jiang Li's expression couldn't help but become a little weird.

This is actually a subway!

He originally thought that the underground passages of the Mo Sect would use the earth veins for transportation and movement like other sects.

Unexpectedly, they, who are proficient in mechanical engineering, directly built an entire subway in a pioneering way.

This has many advantages. Ordinary underground transportation methods, such as the ground shuttle, can only move along the direction of the ground flow, and it is difficult to control the speed.

But this sedan-like carriage has its own mechanical power. Even without the earth veins, it can still move forward.

The carriage stopped right in front of him, and a puppet appeared from inside to open the door for them.

"Alliance Master Jiang, please."

They were inviting Jiang Li to go to their lair alone.

If Jiang Li had brought the nine elders with him, Mo Men might not have been so decisive.

Jiang Li stretched out his hand and pressed the token on the leader's order of the Chongshan League, then explained the situation to several elders.

Let them be patient and be ready to obey his orders at any time.

Alliance Leader Jiang cares about his life more than anyone else, so he is more or less confident in protecting himself in everything he does.

After entering the wooden carriage, there are also several pull rods inside.

After a few operations, the carriage gradually accelerated and sped away in one direction.

At the beginning, when they were in the underground area of ​​the city, they still relied on the power of the machinery to move forward.

But after leaving the city, the power of the mechanism began to combine the power of the earth veins and the spiritual energy of the formation. The speed gradually increased, getting faster and faster.

It turns out that rolling wheels are not necessarily slower than flying wheels.

Soon they arrived at their destination.

There was the sound of gears turning everywhere, and at the end of the passage, there was a huge mechanical structure.

Jiang Li could feel that they had arrived at the foot of a huge mountain.

Sure enough, this Qianluo City was built under the earth by hollowing out a mountain.

"We're here."

As the car slowed down significantly, the corridor in front of the carriage gradually became wider and brighter.

A large number of eternal lamps were hung on both sides of the corridor, providing light for the underground Qianluo City ahead.

Several people got off the carriage, but what greeted Jiang Li was a flashing crossbow arrow! ?

Come on, comrades 　　 　 (end of this chapter)
