When it was completely dark, Yun Zhonghe and his companions finally reunited with their brothers from Yaowang Valley. The monks were all very fast. In less than half a day, they had walked out of the Demon Sect's territory. There were mountains all around, so the monks decided to rest in the mountains for one night and leave at dawn the next day.
They found a cave as their place to stay. Du Heng stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at the dark sky. He could see lightning flashing from time to time in the northern sky. Yan Buhui's tribulation was still going on. In the cave, Yun Zhonghe and his fellow apprentices were discussing something.
Although Du Heng was originally a Qi cultivator, his physical fitness was not as good as that of high-level cultivators like Yun Zhonghe, but compared to ordinary people, he felt that his physical fitness was much stronger. For example, now, he was guarding the entrance of the cave, but he could hear the cultivators in the cave discussing how to deal with him.
Du Heng actually felt very wronged, but from the perspective of Medicine King Valley, he was indeed a burden. No matter what the reason, he swallowed the Magical Sky Pearl of the Demon Lord. This matter could not be concealed. In a few days, Du Heng's name would be known to everyone in the cultivation world. If he was a powerful person who could go to heaven and earth, it would be fine. At least the villains would not dare to do anything to him. But he happened to be a Qi cultivator, at the lowest level of the food chain in the cultivation world.
Du Heng understood that a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. It was not easy for the brothers in Medicine King Valley to protect his life from Yan Buhui. If he was brought back to Medicine King Valley, those who coveted the Phantom Sky Pearl would flatten the gate of Medicine King Valley.
Most of the medical practitioners are fragile and rely only on their spiritual weapons and treasures for self-defense. They cannot hold out in front of the powerful.
Therefore, Du Heng could not return to Yaowang Valley with Yun Zhonghe and the others. Not only could he not return to Yaowang Valley, he also had to hide his whereabouts. Otherwise, Yan Buhui alone would be enough to make him suffer.
He could understand Yun Zhonghe and the others' thoughts. He should be grateful that Yun Zhonghe and the others could lead him out of the Demon Sect's territory. He was just an outer disciple, and the disciples of Medicine King Valley did not kill him immediately to save his life. This was already a great friendship.
He just felt wronged.
He was a modern man, and he was about to graduate, with a bright future ahead of him. After graduation, he could open a private restaurant with his father, and if he was lucky, he could even meet the girl next door... But all of this was ruined today.
He came to the Taixu Realm inexplicably, and offended the powerful. Now he has to start the survival mode in the Taixu Realm alone. He feels that with his ability, he may not survive for more than three days.
Du Heng looked at the dark sky and the cold wind blowing from the cave. He felt that his heart was as cold as his face. He wanted to go home. He hoped that this was a nightmare. As long as he fell asleep and woke up the next day, he would be at home. However, since he woke up, he had confirmed countless times that this was not a dream.
He even wondered if his soul would return to his body if he died now. But when he had this thought, he felt uneasy. Du Heng's sixth sense was always very good, and it was always accurate when he faced great danger.
There were footsteps around him, Du Heng turned around and saw Yun Zhonghe. Yun Zhonghe's legs had recovered, but his cultivation was still sealed. The Demon Lord's restriction was not so easy to break, and Yun Zhonghe would have to find a powerful person to help break the seal, and his life would not be easy.
Yun Zhonghe looked ashamed, and Du Heng knew what he was going to say. He wanted to tell Du Heng on behalf of everyone that he had to walk the rest of the way alone.
Yun Zhonghe hesitated for a moment before speaking. He just said two words: "Du Heng..." Du Heng laughed: "I've heard you all. I've already caused you all a lot of trouble. I can't trouble you anymore." Yun Zhonghe lowered his eyes and dared not look at Du Heng. He knew how unfair it was to let Du Heng, a Qigong practitioner, face the upcoming danger, but he and his sect had no choice.
Yaowang Valley is not one of the five major sects, and they don't have an out-of-body ancestor to protect them. If they take Du Heng back, not only will they be unable to help him, but the entire sect will also be in danger.
Du Hengqiang cheered himself up and patted Yun Zhonghe's shoulder with a smile: "Don't look like that, look at me, I'm fine, right? It's not that hard to be alone. The things in the cultivation world are all very useful, and I can also see the world I haven't seen. Don't worry, I will try my best to survive. I will hide, hide far away, and don't let Yan Buhui and other people who covet the Phantom Sky Pearl find me."
Yun Zhonghe said in a low voice: "You...you can't escape the first day..." Du Heng's mouth twitched: "My mother always said that I can't speak, but it turns out that you are even worse at speaking than me!"
Yun Zhonghe finally raised his eyes and looked at Du Heng. In the darkness, his eyes glowed. Yun Zhonghe said, "Go east. The east is the territory of the demons, and human cultivators usually don't set foot there. No matter how powerful Yan Buhui is, he doesn't dare to fight against the demons."
Du Heng blinked with difficulty. There are also demons? Oh my god... Yun Zhonghe began to rummage through his sleeves. He took out a stack of talismans. Du Heng looked at it and saw that there were quite a few five-element talismans. In addition, there was a Thousand Chance Umbrella, several magical talismans, a storage bag of various spiritual herbs and plants, and even a pitch-black dagger that could not be seen in the light...
Yun Zhonghe said, "Brothers, we have gathered together these things. Although it is not much, if we use it sparingly, we should be able to reach the Dongji Mountains. Beyond the Dongji Mountains is the territory of the demon race. You swallowed the Illusionary Sky Pearl, and your mind is clearer than before. I saw you kill the Brahma Chicken. To be honest, you are much stronger than ordinary Qi training cultivators.
If you really don't have the courage to go east of the Dongji Shengmai, you can live at the foot of the mountain and make a living by hunting. But you can't practice cultivation that way. Once you practice cultivation, the aura of the Fantasy Sky Pearl will expose you. If you don't expose your aura, you can live like an ordinary person.
Du Heng, don't blame us, we have no choice..."
Yun Zhonghe clenched his fists. To put it bluntly, what they did was to abandon their fellow disciples. Although Du Heng was only an outer disciple, he was still a member of Medicine King Valley. But in the face of life and death, they really couldn't do more for Du Heng.
Du Heng pretended to be surprised and accepted the talismans and magic treasures: "So many things, thank my brothers for me." Yun Zhonghe clenched his fists and said: "Tomorrow when we leave the forest, you will change your direction and walk towards the east. The magic talisman I gave you is very useful. One talisman can make you travel a thousand miles a day. Don't walk at night. This magic talisman is not good at hiding your body. It is too conspicuous when walking at night."
Yun Zhonghe racked his brains to tell Du Heng some more precautions, but he had rarely left Yaowang Valley since he was born. The longest road he had walked was the road to the Demon Realm when he was caught by Yan Buhui this time.
As Yun Zhonghe spoke, Du Heng listened carefully. He knew that every point Yun Zhonghe said might become a motto that could save his life in the future.
Yun Zhonghe said slowly, "There is a piece of Demon-Repelling Jade in your bag. From now on, you should carry it with you. This will help you hide your aura. However, this Demon-Repelling Jade is not very effective and can be easily detected by high-level masters. Try to avoid towns when you travel. You used to go to towns frequently when you were in charge of purchasing for the sect. I won't go into details."
Du Heng nodded: "Yeah, yeah, ok, ok."
After talking for a while, Yun Zhonghe ran out of things to say. He was not a talkative person. He said to Du Heng, "It's late, you should go to bed." Du Heng nodded, and Yun Zhonghe gave him a forced smile and walked into the cave.
Du Heng knew that Yun Zhonghe and the others made this decision, which was a good decision for everyone. He had no right to ask Yun Zhonghe and the others to be responsible for him. Du Heng was holding the storage bag, and he knew that the things in the storage bag were the last kindness that these brothers who were not familiar with him could give him.
The next day, at dawn, a group of people set out again. The Demon Lord's tribulation was still in progress. However, after crossing the mountains, the tribulation clouds in the sky could no longer be seen. Yun Zhonghe was somewhat thankful: "Fortunately, Yan Buhui's thunder tribulation came quickly. If it had come slower, there would definitely be people from the Demon Sect chasing us now."
Not long after crossing the mountain, they came to a fork in the road, and it was time to say goodbye. Du Heng looked at the guide talisman in his hand. Yun Zhonghe stood in front of him and said sadly: "Be careful on your way to the east. If the storm has passed and you have settled down in the future, remember to tell us." Du Heng smiled and imitated Yun Zhonghe's method and bowed to everyone: "Senior brothers, goodbye!"
Du Heng walked along the road to the east for a while, and when he reached the bend, he looked back and saw eight people standing where they had just parted. Du Heng smiled and waved to everyone, then turned around without looking back. It must be because the wind was too strong, which made Du Heng's eyes dry.
The magic talisman is very useful. Sticking it on his legs makes him feel light and energetic. Du Heng walked around casually and saw the scenery on both sides quickly receding to both sides. Yun Zhonghe and the others pointed out a shortcut to the east for Du Heng. There were no mountains or rivers blocking the way. Du Heng moved forward easily, but he felt a little lonely walking alone.
He also saw towns on the way, some of which were quite large. Du Heng saw a cultivator flying over his head on a sword, passing through a brilliant aura. To be honest... he was envious!
He had accepted his fate, and he thought he should stop dreaming about leaving this world and returning to his own home. He found that when Du Heng fell, he would feel pain; when Du Heng was tired, he would also fall into a deep sleep. He felt that if he hanged himself on a tree, or stabbed himself to death, he would not only not be able to return to his own world, but would also be terrified.
Those strange magics in the world of cultivation are not fake. If you don't do it right, you will die! And you will die forever, without even reincarnation!
Du Heng resolutely moved towards the east, and never stopped except to find a place to sleep at night. Half a month later, he finally saw a stretch of mountains in the east. This was the highest and largest mountain range he had ever seen. The mountain range blocked out the sun and seemed to rise from the ground from a distance. It was like a natural chasm that people dared not look directly at.
This is the legendary Dongji Mountains. With this mountain range as the boundary, the east is the territory of the legendary demon clan, and the west is the territory of human cultivators.
