The withered old man was startled when he heard this question, then he frowned and looked at the old woman.
"What do you mean, fellow Daoist?"
"A soul cultivator at this level might not be in a clear mind anymore, and could easily be taken advantage of. Moreover, he appeared very suddenly, and there is no guarantee that there won't be someone else behind him. If we act rashly, we might fall into their trap."
The old woman said with a gloomy look.
"In my opinion, it is better to take a long-term view."
"All the younger generations I trained have died. How could I retreat just because the other party is a soul cultivator?" The withered old man frowned slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face.
With his cultivation level, a cultivator at the Return to Void level is not enough to make him retreat, even if it is a Soul Cultivator. This is the confidence of a cultivator who has reached the Dao level. Only by entering this level can one understand what the Dao is.
"Of course I won't retreat, I'll just adjust the timing of my attack."
The old woman shook her head, and seeing that the withered monk was still somewhat dissatisfied, she spoke bluntly.
"If the younger generation dies, we can train them again, but if you die, you will have nothing. The old man guarding the crystal mine has not been found yet. Han Wuxin has searched the entire southwest cultivation world for this matter, but he has not found the murderer yet. Do you really want to take the initiative to approach this difficult enemy and help Han Wuxin take the blame?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the withered monk fell silent.
"The spiritual energy of the world of immortal cultivation is fading. Neither you nor I can make any mistakes at this critical juncture."
In recent years, the internal struggles of the Ancient Sword Sect have become more and more obvious. Not only within the sect, but also outside, there has been friction with an immortal clan. At this critical juncture, everyone is watching their every move. If it is a junior without foundation, they can just kill him and take the opportunity to establish their authority.
But if it was a soul cultivator, things would become very troublesome. No one knew if there was anyone behind this unknown soul cultivator. If there was, given the half-crazy personality of the soul cultivator, he would probably not consider other factors at all and would kill them on the spot. In serious cases, he would even trade one for one with them.
This was a result that neither of them wanted to bear.
"We can't just go back like this."
The withered monk's tone softened a little.
"Of course not."
A smile appeared on the old woman's face. As an old friend, she already understood what the withered old man meant.
"Isn't there a ready-made murderer?"
With their eyes lowered, they both looked at the Yellow Leaf Valley below. This kind of sect founded by foundation-building cultivators was like weeds on the roadside to the Hedao cultivators, and it was not worth even a second glance. But now they both found the 'culprit'.
Foundation-building sect?
It doesn't exist. This place is the lair of a Return to Void cultivator who harbors evil intentions.
Boom! !
The spiritual energy turned upside down, and an invisible hand pressed down from above. With the Yellow Leaf Valley as the center, the entire area collapsed on a large scale. From above, it looked like someone had wiped it out with their hands. A sky full of rubble flew up from the ground, and a large area of mountain ranges collapsed. The rubble turned upside down in the sky and condensed into a dark mountain.
"Plotting to murder a disciple of the Sword Sect - punishment!"
The cold voice spread out, and hundreds of wandering cultivators in distant towns looked at the direction of the Yellow Leaf Valley with horror on their faces, with fear in their eyes.
For these immortal cultivators at the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages, the scene before them was a divine act.
"Seal off the spiritual energy here for three hundred years to serve as a warning to others!"
The sound spread throughout the surrounding area, and a huge black mountain took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.
All the immortal cultivators in this area sensed the changes in the outside world. The area that was able to practice cultivation was completely cut off from spiritual energy after the mountain fell. Whether they were practicing or traveling, they all felt the changes in the world.
This is the Hedao monk!
By aligning one's body with the Tao, one can modify the rules of heaven and earth on a small scale.
The meaning of the withered old man and the old woman was very simple. They did not intend to look for the murderer, nor did they want to take on the trouble from Han Wuxin, but they had to establish their "power". Such a big mountain was the best "power". All the monks who saw this mountain could sense the "Tao" emanating from it, which was more effective than any explanation in words.
A Qi-refining cultivator who was trying to break through the barrier of building his foundation vomited blood. His Qi and blood suddenly became mostly depleted, and his hair turned visibly gray.
"What on earth has this Yellow Leaf Valley done wrong to cause the immortals to ban it."
"Let's go. We must leave this place before our spiritual energy runs out. We can't accompany Huangye Valley to die."
A large number of low-level immortal cultivators migrated out, and the once prosperous market town was visibly declining. In just a few years, this place would become a place where immortals would be extinct, and no immortal cultivators would appear again. For the mortals living in this area, more than three hundred years was enough time for a unified dynasty to be established, flourish, and then decline. All stories related to immortal cultivators would become legends here and be forgotten by them.
“Is this a punishment from heaven?”
"What kind of existence did that senior provoke?"
The group of people from Huangye Valley hiding in Ye Country were as silent as a cicada. After leaving Huangye Valley, they pretended to be ordinary people and did not even dare to use their spiritual power. They also felt the movement from the sect not long ago. The two voices like those of gods frightened them terribly, fearing that the "immortal" would wipe out Ye Country in anger, but fortunately, the worst thing did not happen.
The two "immortals" left after sealing off the Yellow Leaf Valley without even looking at them.
"Senior, the two immortals have left. Should we also leave here?" Huang Ye and Liu Hai stood respectfully outside the courtyard and asked in a low voice towards the courtyard where Chen Luo was.
It was Chen Luo who brought them here when they escaped before.
At first they were a little worried, but what happened afterwards was just as Chen Luo had guessed. The two people in the sky completely ignored them. It was not that they didn't notice, but that they were too lazy to pay attention.
In the eyes of the Hedao cultivators, these low-level casual cultivators are just like ordinary people, weeds on the roadside, and they will not bother to distinguish them at all. In the eyes of Huang Ye and Liu Hai, it is a big deal, and others may not even bother to ask. Chen Luo guessed the attitude of these people from the beginning, so he took them to hide in Ye Country, and for this purpose, he also left a large group of puppets in Huangye Valley to "establish the prestige" of the two Hedao old monsters.
As long as he succeeds in establishing his authority, it doesn’t matter whether the person he kills is a cultivator from the Huangye Valley or not.
"senior?"
This is already the tenth time they have come to ask this month. The spirit stones they had previously stored have been almost used up during this period of time. If they do not leave this place, their spiritual power will be affected and their cultivation level will drop.
Under the ban, the spiritual energy is cut off. It is like a pond that has been drained of water. The immortal cultivators are the fish in the pond. Without the existence of spiritual energy, the immortal cultivators cannot survive for a long time. For a long time, let alone cultivation, it is good enough if the cultivation level does not regress.
The two waited for a long time but there was no response.
Huang Ye and Liu Neng felt something was wrong. They looked at each other and carefully pushed open the gate.
Squeak.
The grape trellis in the yard is still there. The sunlight shines through the leaves and forms mottled spots of light on the ground. The vines on the trellis by the wall are still swaying, and there is no one in the pavilion.
Chen Luo, who was supposed to be in the yard, had long disappeared.
The two who saw this scene immediately realized that the fate between them and their predecessors was over.
Panshifang Market.
This is the nearest independent cultivator market to the Five Elements City, where a large number of independent cultivators gather to trade. After the lineage of the Five Elements City Lord was purged by the Ancient Sword Sect, the independent cultivator order in the entire Five Elements City was overturned and rebuilt. Many independent cultivators who feared the battle between powerful beings gathered here, opening up a new trading point.
The Rock Market is controlled by three immortal cultivation families, and behind these three families are Yuanying cultivators. Ordinary casual cultivators dare not come to provoke them. Over time, the reputation of the market spread, and a large number of cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm traded here. Many things found in the ruins are sold here. The three major families in the Rock Market hold an auction every few years, and some famous Jindan and Yuanying cultivators nearby come to participate. It is said that during the heyday, there were even gods who came here.
Chen Luo and Mu Jianyu came to this area after leaving the Huangye Valley.
The world of immortal cultivation eight thousand years ago has changed a lot from later times.
The biggest difference is that the world of immortal cultivation eight thousand years ago was a whole, and there was no distinction between the upper and lower realms. Many sects eight thousand years later were still very weak during this period of time. They had never even heard of a sect like the Qunxing Sect.
I have heard of Baixian Cave, but it is very far away from this area and it is impossible to get there in a short time.
Chen Luo's original plan was to sneak into the Ancient Sword Sect and help them worship their ancestors.
It was a pity that he missed the opportunity to enter the Ancient Sword Sect during his ten years of seclusion, and the idle chess piece of the Huang family became a useless chess piece, so he simply didn't waste any more time. During this period, he contacted Zi Tianji several times and figured out what the word "change" he had passed on meant.
The Silent Taoist is indeed planning an opportunity to unite with the Dao.
This pioneer who came here from the past directly abandoned his physical body in this era and became a ghost cultivator in Huangquan. Zi Tianji also learned this news from the new city lord Le Shangcai behind him.
As a top immortal sect, the Ancient Sword Sect has conflicts with Huangquan in many areas. As an opponent, it is natural to know the information of the strong people in Huangquan. The information of Silent Taoist was accidentally discovered by Zi Tianji during a mission.
He recognized the identity of the Silent Taoist at a glance.
Because of 'Tao'!
The immortal cultivators of this era were not "corpse immortals". The Taoist Wusheng joined Huangquan because he wanted to use the identity of Huangquan ghost cultivator to get in touch with higher-level corpses. In this way, he could break the upper limit of the "corpse immortals" in later generations.
Relying on the power of "Tao", the Silent Taoist became the most dazzling rising star among the ghost cultivators in Huangquan.
If Chen Luo wants to deal with the Silent Taoist, the first step is to deal with Huang Quan.
This was something that was not envisioned at the beginning, so Zi Tianji used the word "change". (End of this chapter)
