"No problem, I'll go back right away."
The young man waved his hand, and his figure gradually faded away. In the end, only his voice lingered in the void, "The Immortal Core is of great importance. You must make arrangements as soon as possible and there must be no mistakes."
"yes!"
The man in black bowed his head respectfully, and when the remaining sound faded away, he turned around and turned into a dragon and flew into the sea of stars, disappearing in an instant.
…
After flying for a day and a night, the giant eagle broke through the thick clouds and gradually descended in altitude.
It was early morning, with purple clouds coming from the east, the sky was clear and the view was excellent.
Looking into the distance, Xiang Sheng suddenly saw an ancient city standing on the cliff in the distance.
We’ve arrived at Xuanwang City.
The giant eagle descended rapidly, swooping down on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust, and then landed steadily.
The scholar jumped off the spirit bird first and shouted, "Everyone get down and follow me into the city on foot!"
No one dared to ask any more questions and jumped down one after another.
As soon as he landed, a strong smell of blood and decay hit him in the face.
Xiang Sheng couldn't help but wrinkle his nose, and waved his sleeve to sweep away the choking smoke and dust, only then he realized that what he was stepping on was a dark red ground of blood.
There were even a few fresh corpses not far away, with blood flowing into the ground.
Xiang Sheng felt a chill in his heart, and immediately understood where this bloody land came from.
Lu Zhu had never seen such a horrific scene before. Her lips turned pale with fear and she clutched Xiang Sheng's sleeve tightly, "Sister, let's go quickly."
Xiang Sheng pursed his lips slightly, turned around and followed the team.
"The air is forbidden in Xuanwang City. This road is the only way to the city gate. Even a powerful person like a Jindan stage master can only walk down like us."
The scholar walked beside the crowd, his cold gaze sweeping across the bushes on both sides of the mountain road, meeting pairs of eyes full of fear.
Soon, others also discovered the monks lurking around the mountain road, and their faces changed color.
But for some reason, it was clear that only Wenshi in Xiang Sheng's group was in the Foundation Establishment Stage and was extremely weak, but the people on both sides of the mountain road allowed them to climb the mountain without anyone taking action.
Is it the intimidation brought by the giant bird from the Tianqing Pavilion that prevents them from acting rashly?
Xiang Sheng's eyes flashed.
This force called "Tianqing Pavilion" seems to specialize in doing business with cultivators. It is quite powerful, but I don't know what rank it is. How does it compare to the Chiyan Sect?
There are still more than ten days until July 15th. Why didn't the Wan family wait a few more days to recruit people instead of coming here in such a hurry?
Did the Blazing Flame Sect’s team arrive early?
Although his mind was full of thoughts, Xiang Sheng showed no abnormality on the surface. He followed the large group over the long stone stairs and finally arrived at the Xuanwang City Gate.
The mountains are high and cold, and the walls of the ancient city gate are covered with a thick layer of frost. I don’t know how many years it has been open.
Right above the city gate, you can vaguely see two ancient large characters "Wang" hanging. The stone surface covering the characters is mottled, showing traces of time.
The scholar seemed to have been to this city before. He led his men in a line, walked around the low ruins of old houses with ease, and came to a still sturdy yellow earthen building.
"This is my Wan family's residence. Please go in and choose a room to stay in."
At this point, the scholar's tone turned cold. "I believe you have heard the rules of Xuanwang City on the way. You must not cause chaos, and you must not reveal your murderous intentions. Otherwise, you will trigger the formation, and no one will be able to save you!"
After saying this, the scholar waved his sleeves and left.
As soon as the scholar left, the atmosphere in the team immediately relaxed, and everyone went into the earthen building to choose a room they liked.
With the city's formation weighing on everyone's mind, the process of choosing a room seemed unusually harmonious. Even if the room they chose was already occupied by someone else and they felt dissatisfied, they had no choice but to leave and make another choice.
Lu Zhu was quick to act and occupied a large room. He quickly called Xiang Sheng, who was still absent-minded outside, to come in.
The room wasn't too dirty, so Lu Zhu cleaned it a little and then stopped. He took out two blankets from his ring and spread them on the floor.
"Sister, everything is packed."
Lu Zhu spoke.
Xiang Sheng's thoughts suddenly gathered. He came to his senses and sat down. After a moment's silence, he spoke, "There are many Jindan-stage cultivators walking around here. Your secret method can't be hidden from them. On the way here, I saw many independent cultivators setting up their own markets. You can stay here and rest. I'll go and get some information later."
Lu Zhu knew that what Xiang Sheng said made sense, so he nodded obediently and said, "Then you must come back soon."
Xiang Sheng smiled faintly, "I must be loyal to the person who entrusted me with the task. I will not abandon you before sending you to the ancestral land."
Lu Zhu was stunned on the spot.
This sentence sounds reassuring at first, but the underlying meaning is clearly that she will not enter the Lu family's ancestral land.
Is she not interested at all in the secret treasures of the Lu family's ancestral land?
