Chapter 262 People are in panic and can’t move forward! 【34, please subscribe】
early morning
Xishan City is unusually deserted.
The sudden disaster that happened yesterday is still fresh in my mind.
There are patrol teams of the Red Sect on the streets and alleys, and passers-by on the streets also look hurried!
Inside Wangxian Tower
Wei Han, Lu Yan and Duan Tianhe drank tea together.
From time to time, I could hear the discussions of the casual practitioners around me.
"Damn, it seems like hundreds of people died yesterday. Old man Yan, who usually sells talismans in the East Market, and his family of six are all dead. It's so tragic!"
"Friend Xu was even more miserable. He had managed to survive in Xishan City for decades and saved up spiritual stones to open a spiritual rice shop. But in the end, his entire family became wandering ghosts on the Soul Devouring Banner, and his family business was looted by someone who took advantage of the chaos."
"These damn demon cubs, aren't they afraid of causing public outrage by playing like this?"
"What are they afraid of? The Demon Sect has always acted this way. It is said that in the dynasties controlled by the Corpse Demon Sect, blood sacrifices and massacres of cities are common occurrences!"
Everyone was talking in low voices.
His words were full of resentment and dissatisfaction towards the Blood Demon Sect.
Although the Red Sect normally exploits independent cultivators, they dare not go too far. But when the Blood Demon Sect comes, they suck everyone dry and even do not spare their souls. How can anyone be willing to accept such a gap?
"You probably don't know!" At this time, an old Taoist in green clothes said with a half-smile, "Yesterday, Qingyangzi of the Red Sect and other foundation-building masters were chasing after the Blood Demon Sect, but they were ambushed by mistake. They fought for several hours in Mangshan, a hundred miles away. It is said that they suffered a great loss."
"What? No way!"
"Could it be that what happened yesterday was a plot by the Blood Demon Sect to lure the snake out of its hole?"
"Damn it, the Red Sect can't stop it, right?"
For a time
Everyone was even more worried!
Wars in the world of immortal cultivation have never been about the number of people. No matter how many low-level cultivators there are, they are just a bunch of fat sheep. Often the victory or defeat between high-level cultivators is the key to deciding a war.
Now the Chihong Sect's Foundation Establishment Stage members are injured and suffering, and no one is known whether any of them have died. It is natural for everyone to worry at this time.
"No, we can't just sit there and wait for death!" A middle-aged casual cultivator muttered, "I plan to settle down in Tianhe City under the jurisdiction of Tianhe Sect. This city is only three to five hundred miles away from here. If I'm careful, it shouldn't be a big deal. Is there any fellow Taoist willing to go with me?"
"Isn't that wrong? There seems to have been a strange disaster near Tianhe City recently, and several villages have been destroyed!"
"Yes, the Fenghuo Bandits in Xianshan have been active. Without the protection of a large flying boat, who would dare to roam the wilderness so easily?"
"There are countless monsters. Beyond the Red Sect, there are already numerous first-order late-stage monsters a hundred miles away. Do you dare to leave?"
Amidst the discussions.
The independent cultivators were full of hesitation and anxiety.
The world of immortal cultivation has never been a safe place.
The immortal cities governed by the major sects may still allow people to live safely in a secluded corner, but once they leave the immortal city too far away and there is no immortal sect to protect them, the endless monsters, bandits, demons, and weirdness will really make it difficult for people to move forward.
Especially these low-level monks!
Many people probably never go very far in their entire lives.
If they stay in Xishan City now, they will have to face the Blood Demon Sect's frequent attacks, and even the Red Sect may not be able to withstand the pressure. It is very likely that this place will have to change hands. But leaving will also involve risks. It is truly a dilemma.
"When a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people suffer. It's the same in the mortal world and the world of immortals, haha!" Wei Han raised his glass and sighed, with a look of emotion in his eyes.
As an immortal!
He didn't know how many times he would encounter such dynasty changes and power struggles in the future, so he was mentally prepared for it and was not scared at all.
"I've received two more pieces of news!" Duan Tianhe said in a low voice with a gloomy face, "Two mines and a medicine garden outside the mountain gate of the Red Sect have been captured by the Blood Demon Sect with lightning speed. In yesterday's battle during the foundation-building period, the Red Sect suffered a terrible defeat with one death and three injuries. Now they are just relying on the sect's formation to survive. I estimate that Xishan City will sooner or later belong to the Blood Demon Sect. Should we make arrangements for a retreat?"
"this?"
Lu Yan's eyebrows twitched wildly and his eyes turned directly to Wei Han.
Obviously, he was waiting for the other party to make a decision.
Wei Han could not deny this, and was not even panicked. He just frowned and looked at Duan Tianhe and asked with a smile: "Does fellow Taoist seem to have a way to leave?"
"Of course!" Duan Tianhe nodded and said, "Now if you want to leave Xishan City, there are only three ways. The first is to form a team with many fellow Taoists and cross the wilderness together. This is a common method in the past."
"But this method is the most dangerous. In the past, there have been many cases where there were spies from the Demon Sect hidden in the team, and eventually the entire team was attacked and killed by the Demon Sect."
"The second method is to find a large chamber of commerce and take a large flying boat. These flying boats are often used to transport goods. Not only are they highly defensive, but they are also protected by foundation-building masters, so they are extremely safe. The price is very high just to get on board, and ordinary casual cultivators simply can't afford it!"
Duan Tianhe talks freely!
Wei Han and Lu Yan's eyes lit up when they heard this.
Neither of them was short of money, and if they could get on the Chamber of Commerce's flying boat, it would be a way to leave safely.
"The third method is to hire a few guides!" Duan Tianhe continued, "Some hunting teams travel the wilderness all year round to hunt monsters. They are very familiar with the terrain of each place. It is very safe to hire them to lead people through the wilderness."
"However, there are good hunting teams and bad ones, and some of them even resort to robbing other gangs all the time, so you must be careful when choosing the right people. I do know a good guide, who has a simple and honest personality and good strength. He often leads a few fellow Taoists to hunt monsters all the year round. It is absolutely safe to hire him for a trip."
Listening to Duan Tianhe's bewitching words.
Wei Han couldn't help but chuckle. This guy must have made up his mind to leave, but he was worried that he was outnumbered and wanted to bring a few more trustworthy people with him.
Wei Han and Lu Yan have a good reputation among the neighbors!
Moreover, they were close to each other and helped each other on a daily basis, so Duan Tianhe naturally wanted to take them along.
But Wei Han has no intention of leaving for the time being!
For one thing, he had hoarded a large amount of spiritual materials, and was waiting to make a fortune in this chaos so that he could practice his own spiritual insect bag as soon as possible.
Secondly, there are more than 20,000 gold-eating ants in the training valley. Without the spirit insect bag, it would be inconvenient for him to go anywhere, so he can only stay in Xishan City.
In the end, the Red Sect will not be defeated so easily!
This unrest will continue for some time, why are we in such a hurry to leave? No matter how bad the situation is, he has the means to protect himself and is not afraid of external unrest at all.
"Fellow Daoist Duan, please find someone else." Wei Han pretended to sigh and refused, "I am short of money and have just established myself in Xishan City. I'd better stay here for a while."
"Me too!" Lu Yan spoke quickly.
Now he and Wei Han are tied together.
He goes wherever the sponsor goes.
Wei Han chose not to leave, so he naturally wouldn't leave.
"Okay!" Duan Tianhe shook his head helplessly and said, "Come on, keep drinking. I don't know if I'm leaving yet. I'll definitely let you know when I leave."
