Once upon a time, thousands of people flocked to the Nether Valley in search of treasure. As a result, many were killed or injured, and now less than one in ten people return alive.
Even with the help of Tang Xiaobao and Mo Xiong, almost all of these people died.
It was because of their help that these talents did not all perish.
This is the reality.
Very cruel.
If you are not strong enough, you can only serve as cannon fodder, or even die meaninglessly.
So many people died in the ghost town all at once. It was a heavy loss for the entire ghost town, and it was also a big loss for the entire first heaven.
However, when those who were lucky enough to escape were caught in the monster forest again, what they faced was another disaster.
At this time, more than a dozen monks looked at the vast dense forest, feeling sad.
The leader was Li Yunlong, the head of the Li family.
He used to be the head and representative of a top-tier force in Ghost Town. This trip to the Nether Valley made him truly realize the preciousness of life.
Xia Weiliang and Wen Guangjun, who were traveling with him, both died.
Of all the elites of the Li family he brought with him, only two are still alive with him.
"Master Li, can we return to the ghost town alive?"
A monk said dejectedly.
roar!
In the dense forest, the roars of monsters could be heard from time to time.
Li Yunlong took a breath and said, "Why not? But you have to listen to me. Whoever is left alone now will die without a burial place."
"Of course, Master Li, we all obey your orders."
"Yes, now we have to unite."
"Anyone who is left alone will die."
"We will follow the lead of Patriarch Li."
Everyone expressed their opinions.
Li Yunlong nodded and selected a few people to be the vanguard. He stayed in the center of the army. Although some people had many complaints, they did not dare to raise them.
The group began to head towards the ghost town.
Three days later, they finally saw the ghost town and finally walked out of the monster forest.
However, out of more than a dozen people, only five are left.
None of the three members of the Li family died.
However, even Li Yunlong looks very haggard now.
During these three days, they experienced dozens of battles. The monsters and beasts that usually hid in the forest and stayed away from human cultivators, seemed to have eaten bears and leopards' hearts and dared to ambush them one after another during these three days.
It's really not easy to survive.
Several people finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone, we survived."
Li Yunlong sighed.
"Set off."
He issued a new order.
The five people were finally able to fly in the air, which would undoubtedly help them avoid more ambushes. After all, there were not many flying monsters.
Another day passed and they finally returned to the ghost town.
When people saw them, for a moment, it was as if a stone was thrown into the calm water, and the whole thing became noisy.
What happened in the Nether Valley had spread within a day and was already known to everyone.
Many people are very fortunate.
Inside the Ximen Mansion, Ximen Wuyu looked at Ximen Zhiruo and said with emotion, "Fortunately, we listened to Master Ximen and didn't send anyone there. If we had really sent anyone there, they probably wouldn't be able to come back now. For our Ximen family, this loss is unacceptable."
Ximen Zhiruo nodded: "Yes, it's a good thing that Big Brother Ximen reminded me, otherwise it would be over. These people are really something. Big Brother Ximen has tried to dissuade them countless times, but they just don't believe it. I can't blame anyone else."
"I have a new understanding of Young Master Ximen. He is truly a rare talent. He is so young, yet his cultivation has already far surpassed that of the Immortal Emperor. It's truly terrifying. What a pity!"
Ximen Wuyu shook his head.
Ximen Zhiruo's face changed, and she said nervously, "Ancestor, what do you mean? Don't you believe that Brother Ximen can come back alive?"
"He had a chance to come back, but he gave up. Think about it, he's still stuck at the third level and can't get out. And he refuses to give up. Who knows how many dangers are waiting for him? It's not that I don't trust him, I'm just really worried about him."
Ximen Wuyu told the truth.
Ximen Zhiruo frowned: "Then can we go and accept it?"
"Do you think it makes sense? Who can get to where he is now? How can we get in? I guess everyone will die before they can get together." Ximen Wu Yu said.
Ximen Zhiruo became even more worried.
"Okay, don't worry too much. I came to see you today because of another important matter."
Ximen Wuyu suddenly said seriously.
"What's up?"
Ximen Zhiruo was stunned and looked a little listless.
Her heart was completely tied to Tang Xiaobao.
She doesn't care much about other things.
Ximen Wuyu said, "According to reports from our family's spies, a large group of people have recently been clearing out and recruiting those bandits outside of Ghost Town."
"Then what?"
Ximen Zhiruo was puzzled.
"Isn't the master worried?"
"What's the meaning?"
Ximen Wu Yu frowned and said, "Ever since the Red Thief Immortal was killed by Young Master Ximen, hundreds of thousands of thieves outside Ghost City have been left leaderless. I heard that a few days ago, they were discussing revenge for the Red Thief Immortal, but that was naturally false. They might really want to invade our Ghost City. For them, Ghost City has incomparable wealth, and occupying Ghost City is a huge temptation for them. However, now someone is suddenly trying to wipe them out and recruit them. Think about it, where did this group of masters come from? No one in our Ghost City has the courage to provoke these thieves who come and go without a trace and have no fixed place to live."
"What does the ancestor mean?"
Ximen Zhiruo finally took it seriously, and she also realized that something was wrong.
"You've thought of that, haven't you?"
"You mean, these people might be sent by the Realm Lord's Mansion?"
Ximen Zhiruo was shocked and continued, "Is the Realm Master finally going to attack our Ghost Town? He's turned a blind eye to it for so many years, so why is he suddenly going to attack us now?"
“Because our ghost town is very empty.”
Ximen Wuyu sighed.
"Then things are a bit serious."
Ximen Zhiruo said.
Ximen Wuyu said: "These bandits are a threat to our ghost town, but they are also a natural barrier. If they are recruited, our ghost town will be in real danger."
"What's your opinion, ancestor?"
"What I mean is, we must be prepared for danger in times of peace and prepare for a rainy day. Let's make Ghost Town a solid block of steel first. We must all stick together for warmth." A murderous look flashed in Ximen Wuyu's eyes. "If anyone still fights among themselves at this time and doesn't listen to our Ximen family, I will have to kill them as a warning to the rest!"
Ximen Zhiruo's expression changed.
She understood a little.
This is a trouble and a threat to the ghost town, but also an opportunity for the Ximen family.
An opportunity to unify the ghost town.
Pressure from outside can often lead to greater internal unity.
Ximen Wuyu's ambition has finally been revealed.
But she didn't know how to say it.
Support or oppose?
She really didn't know what to do.
