The edge of the street is blocked by a transparent barrier, behind which there are three roads.
Not far ahead is another commercial street. The left and right sides are a little far away, but you can still see them clearly.
In short, this place is well connected and there are streets everywhere.
However, she didn't see anyone else within her sight.
Just like what she saw just now, everything was there, but there was no one.
Xu Qiuqian frowned.
What is going on?
Just then, a small black shadow in the distance caught her attention.
Cat? It was a black and white kitten, with round eyes full of curiosity. It was not a spirit animal, but just an ordinary kitten.
Thinking that it would be easier for her to win the favor of animals, Xu Qiuqian stretched out her hand and waved at the kitten.
"Meow, come here." She lowered her voice.
However, the kitten just tilted its head with confusion in its eyes.
Could it be that the kitten couldn't hear her voice?
Very likely.
Since this barrier can block spiritual consciousness, it is very likely that it can also block sound.
She took out the Qianyuan Pen from her storage ring, casually drew a spirit beast, and threw it towards the barrier. The soulless spirit beast was bounced back without suffering any harm.
So she reached out and touched the barrier.
The vibrations coming from the barrier told her that she could remove it.
A quarter of an hour later, the barrier was lifted.
Suddenly, he heard screams in the distance. Xu Qiuqian expanded his spiritual sense and saw the altar and the people in the altar in the distance. His face suddenly darkened.
Arrived outside the altar in the blink of an eye.
There were six people in total in the altar. Xu Qiuqian used his divine power and saw that the souls of four of them had been sucked away, and the souls of the remaining two were almost all pulled out. These two people were wearing masks with complex patterns on their faces.
In an instant, Xu Qiuqian made a judgment.
There's no hope.
Even if she took action, she could not save him. The reason why she was able to save Jin Xiafeng was because Jin Xiafeng had divine power in her body and her cultivation was very high, while these people only had the Golden Core level of cultivation.
Even if she took action now, it would be too late.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, the remaining two people fell to the ground without a breath.
"Hello!"
A strange breath came towards her and reached out to her. Without thinking, Xu Qiuqian started fighting with it.
This person was wearing a mask exactly the same as the two people in the altar, and it was impossible to detect his true appearance beneath the mask.
Realizing that this person had no intention of killing her, she reached out and took off his mask when he was not paying attention.
"Ah!" The mask was taken off, revealing the man's terrified face. He looked towards the altar, then ran out in an instant.
But it was too late.
It seemed as if there were countless invisible hands inside the altar pulling him into it.
His eyes were wide open, filled with fear and despair.
"Mask..." He reached out to Xu Qiuqian.
Using his divine power, Xu Qiuqian instantly grabbed the man and at the same time put the mask on his face. The invisible force suddenly disappeared.
Xu Qiuqian frowned.
"What's going on?"
After a while, the man came to his senses.
"What's wrong with you? I came here with good intentions to remind you, but you took my mask away without any explanation. Do you know that I almost died?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't know, are you okay?"
It was indeed her fault, and Xu Qiuqian quickly apologized.
Seeing that the other party's cultivation was higher than his and he even apologized to him, and that he indeed seemed to be unaware of the situation, Yu Zhou's anger dissipated for the most part.
"You don't know? Then where are you from?"
Without waiting for Xu Qiuqian to reply, he waved his hand and said, "Let's leave here first. Come with me."
On the way, Xu Qiuqian learned that this person's name was Yu Zhou. Yu Zhou told her that this strange altar could absorb the souls of living beings. If people with low cultivation did not wear the mask made by the Immortal Changdong, their souls would be sucked away as soon as they passed by here. It was very scary.
"But don't worry, this state is only temporary, and you will be back to normal in two days."
Listening to Yu Zhou's words, Xu Qiuqian felt that the spiritual power on the mask on this person's face was very similar to the spiritual power fluctuating in the barrier. Moreover, she saw that not only her street, but almost all the streets had barriers.
Noticing that her attention was on the barriers, Yu Zhou explained, "These barriers were also set up by Immortal Chang Dong."
"Where is Immortal Changdong?"
Speaking of this, Yu Zhou paused, his voice choked with sobs.
"Chang Dong Immortal Venerable is dying. In order to make the mask, he personally entered the altar. Although he came out with his strength, the sequelae of entering the altar were too severe. After making the mask, he has been in a coma. He has been in a coma until now, and his breath has been..."
There's something weird about this place.
With her spiritual sense expanded, Xu Qiuqian could clearly see that this was a city. Since there was an altar here, why didn't these people leave the city? She asked this question.
Yu Zhou was extremely surprised: "You don't even know this? Could it be that you just came to the city?"
“You could say that.”
"No wonder, the reason we don't leave here is not because we don't want to leave, but because we can't leave. Once you enter this city, no one can leave. You can only enter but not leave."
"What's going on?"
"I also want to know what's going on. Some people say that this city is cursed. Some people say that there is some evil cultivator who wants to practice evil skills, so he wants to use the people of the city to sacrifice to the heavens. The altar is the place for sacrifice..."
“……”How come he even said words like curse?
But if you think about it, you can understand it.
They didn't know why this altar existed, and the fact that the altar absorbed the souls of living beings was indeed somewhat similar to the methods of those evil cultivators.
"Can you take me to see Immortal Changdong?"
"This..." Yu Zhou's face showed hesitation.
Chang Dong Xian Zun is not someone that everyone can look at, not to mention that Chang Dong Xian Zun is very weak right now. This person is obviously from the outer city. What if he has bad intentions? However, this person has a high level of cultivation. Maybe she has a way? Thinking about it, Yu Zhou said, "Okay, but I need to discuss it with others."
"OK, thanks."
At this time, the two of them had arrived at the place, which was far away from the altar and on the edge of the city. Xu Qiuqian finally saw some people.
It’s just that these people all looked listless, with confusion and numbness on their faces.
There were also quite a few people with mental problems who tried to run in the direction they were coming from, but were stopped.
"In this environment, quite a few people have gone crazy, saying that this is a curse and that only by sacrificing their souls can they be freed. Once they enter the altar, their souls will be sucked away even if they are wearing masks."
Xu Qiuqian seemed to be thinking about something.
No wonder she saw those six people. It seemed that those six people escaped when others were not paying attention.
Then, she frowned.
The altar has a huge impact on these people, which is completely different from that on other continents. Why is this so?
"We're here, please wait here for a moment, senior."
