Chapter 549
As Yuan Jing and the others expected, the news of the two appearing in Wanhuo City quickly spread back to Shuiyun Territory. How many people could have paid attention to two insignificant cultivators? But this time was different. Not only did they come up from the lower realm, but they also escaped from the four forces of Zixu Sect and slapped the faces of the four forces again, and escaped from their siege again.
Jiang Xiuyi and others who had already returned to the Tianyuan Realm were extremely shocked. It had only been such a short time and yet he had become a Martial Master. For disciples like them, the Martial Master was a long way away from them, but the warriors who had been inferior to them before had reached that level in a short time.
What shocked them even more was the reappearance of the Sky-Breaking Talisman. This was not the first time they had heard about the Sky-Breaking Talisman. The first time was when Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing used it when they just came to the upper realm, and the second time was not long ago when Zhai Yuanjing used the Sky-Breaking Talisman to escape from their control as soon as he came to the upper realm. Just when they sent people to search for Zhai Yuanjing, news came from Wanhuo City in Huoyun Domain that Duan Linzhi and Zhai Yuanjing still had the Sky-Breaking Talisman in their hands.
So, how many Sky-breaking Talismans did Hua Wenmeng have that these people could use so lavishly? Or did the Sky-breaking Talismans in their hands not actually come from Hua Wenmeng?
They dared not even think about the latter, but the former was too incredible.
Also, just like Duan Linzhi and Zhai Yuanjing, the token lost its effect on Zhai Yuanhao. Does that mean they have mastered the secret of the token and can crack it? This situation made the four forces furious, and they decided to arrest these lower world warriors and punish them. Unfortunately, just as they made the decision, the defeat of Wanhuo City was reported back, and the senior officials in charge were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
Jin Huang found Su Tianfeng. The two of them, who originally did not have much friendship, became closer after coming to the upper realm.
Jin Huang's eyes sparkled. "Have you heard that Duan Linzhi and Zhai Yuanjing showed up in Wanhuo City in Huoyun Territory? They are already martial masters, and they defeated a group of martial masters who came to besiege them. They used the Sky Breaking Talisman to leave under everyone's noses."
Su Tianfeng clapped his hands excitedly, "That's great, they are both martial masters, they are both really talented."
Jin Huang also nodded excitedly. This news was extremely encouraging and inspiring to them: "The brothers of the Zhai family are not bad people. Zhai Yuanhao just escaped from the Zixu Sect. Haha, the Zixu Sect must be in a lot of trouble."
Although they did not get Yuan Jing's help in the lower world, with Zhai Yuanhao's situation, they believe that one day, Zhai Yuanjing and Duan Linzhi will be able to help them out of trouble, and the future is full of hope.
A warrior with ordinary looks was walking in the city within the territory of Zixu Sect. From time to time, he heard people talking about Wanhuo City. The corners of this warrior's mouth could not help but rise. It was great. He heard the news about Eighth Brother and Big Brother Duan not long after he arrived. However, Eighth Brother and the others left too fast. They were all martial masters and defeated the joint siege of several martial masters.
His fifth brother can't be too bad, Zhai Yuanhao is very energetic.
It's a pity that he originally wanted to meet up with his eighth brother and the others, but Zhai Yuanhao had no way of judging where his eighth brother and the others would go after they left with the Sky-Breaking Talisman. But it didn't matter, he already had his next goal, which was to create some trouble for the Zixu Sect, so that they wouldn't have too much free time and have to send so many people to look for his eighth brother's whereabouts.
Not long after, a scandal broke out in the territory of Zixu Sect. It was that Zixu Sect controlled many cultivators and restricted their cultivation, using them specifically to mine for the Sect. Many corpses of cultivators were found in the mines, which attracted many cultivators to investigate. As a result, cultivators whose relatives and friends were missing found their whereabouts among these corpses, or discovered that they had become mine slaves. These cultivators were furious, and joined forces to question Zixu Sect, demanding an explanation.
Not only was the Zixu Sect involved and unable to defend itself, but the Tianluo Sect, the Jiang Family, and the Ying Family were also unable to escape. For a time, the reputations of these four forces in the Shuiyun Domain plummeted greatly.
However, Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi were already far away from Shuiyun Domain at this time. It was difficult to hear detailed news about Shuiyun Domain here, so they did not know the commotion caused by the four forces. Otherwise, they would have known it was the work of Zhai Yuanhao at once, because Zhai Yuanhao broke into the mansion of a Martial Emperor in the lower realm. The Martial Emperor escaped from the upper realm and left behind everything he experienced in the upper realm before his death.
Zhai Yuanhao, who inherited the legacy of the Martial Emperor, was able to find the address of the mineral vein so accurately after going to the upper realm. He designed a plan to expose the matter, and then left this place with the help of the Sky-Breaking Talisman, because he knew that the four forces must hate him as the culprit with a vengeance, and if he stayed in the Shuiyun Domain, they would find his trace sooner or later, as most of the things he had done would leave traces.
He knew that their current strength was not enough to compete with the Zixu Sect, so retreating was the best strategy, just like his eighth brother and Duan Linzhi did.
At this moment, Hua Wenmeng was also taken back to the upper realm. It was the Hua family who sent people to bring him back with great reluctance. Zhong Zheng always had a few friends outside. The news from Wanhuo City made Zhong Zheng's friends very angry. They ran to the Hua family and learned that Hua Wenmeng was still thrown into the lower realm by the Hua family. Fifty years was not enough and they wanted another fifty years. The Hua family was going too far.
In the past, because the head of the Hua family was Hua Wenmeng's biological father, they were not able to interfere in the affairs of the Hua family, but who would have thought that the head of the Hua family, the biological father, was so cruel.
Hua Wenmeng, who was brought back, did not return to the Hua family, but was sent to a sect by a senior. This friend saw through the attitude of the Hua family and knew that letting Hua Wenmeng continue to stay in the Hua family would not have a good result, so it would be better to throw him out and see if he had the ability to make a name for himself.
After learning the whole story, Hua Wenmeng was extremely grateful to Yuan Jing and the others as well as his seniors. He was no longer the second-generation rich kid who had been hiding under his grandfather's wings. He knew that becoming strong was the key, so he had no complaints about his seniors leaving him in a sect. At least no one here would deliberately treat him harshly or want to harm him.
"My child, I have been in seclusion for some time, so I don't know your situation. No matter what your grandfather's situation is, you have to stand up on your own to be worthy of your grandfather's care for you. Take care of yourself, child."
The old man patted Hua Wenmeng's head and went away. Hua Wenmeng's eyes were red. He watched the old man's figure completely disappear before turning around and leaving.
Originally, he thought he would have to stay there for another fifty years, but he didn't expect Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing to make such a big fuss, bringing shame to the Hua family. After knowing the rumors spreading outside, Hua Wenmeng felt extremely happy.
At this moment, Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi accidentally discovered an ancient teleportation array, which could be activated. So the two daring guys stepped into it. After a dizzying moment, they found themselves in a place that was quite different from the Tianyuan Realm they knew.
Neither of them knew whether they were still in the Tianyuan Realm. The previous teleportation array was one-way, and there was no receiving or reverse teleportation point here, which meant that they could not return to the original teleportation array.
Not only that, the two found that they could not fly, and they could not use the energy in their bodies. Fortunately, their soul power could still be used to open the storage rings on their bodies and communicate with the space on Yuan Jing's body. Otherwise, the endless scene would make them not know where to start.
"We have to find the natives here to know where we are. Could we have entered some secret realm or another dimension?" The two followed their feelings and randomly chose a direction to move forward. Yuan Jing guessed their current situation.
Duan Linzhi smiled and said, "That should be correct. After all, this teleportation array is within the Tianyuan Realm, so we should still be within the Tianyuan Realm and there is no possibility of crossing the boundary."
They are not cultivators without much experience. After experiencing so many worlds, they can still sense whether they have escaped from the Tianyuan Realm or not. It's just that the space here must be subject to some constraints and restrictions, which led to their current situation.
Fortunately, they will experience the feeling of being a mortal from time to time, and it is not impossible to accept falling back to the mortal state again. Therefore, they adapt quickly, try hard to find a way out, and are very optimistic.
Even though they couldn't use their energy, the two men's physical fitness was still very good, but they still chose to travel leisurely, walking and stopping, eating and drinking to replenish their energy. So after four days, they found traces of human activities ahead, and then discovered the existence of a village.
Before they reached the village, they bumped into a young cultivator. Seeing the two unfamiliar faces, the cultivator was not surprised at all, but showed a look of understanding. Before Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi could speak, the cultivator said, "You two also ended up here by accident, right?"
"It's the same for you, fellow Daoist? Or is the situation similar for everyone who enters here?"
The other party laughed: "Yes, I think you two have a good attitude and are very calm."
Yuan Jing shrugged: "Now that we are here, let's make the best of it. By the way, my surname is Zhai, my name is Yuan Jing, and this is my Taoist partner Duan Linzhi."
The other party looked at the two of them in surprise, and happened to see Duan Linzhi's gentle gaze towards Yuan Jing. He put away his surprise and said seriously: "So the two of you are Taoist couples. My surname is Su, and my given name is Wei."
"Su Wei? This name sounds familiar, or is it a homonym?" Yuan Jing tried hard to recall where he had heard this name.
Duan Linzhi reminded him with a smile: "Hua Wenmeng mentioned to you that there was a master of alchemy in the Tianyuan Realm when we were chatting, but that master has been missing for many years and his whereabouts are unknown. I think this fellow Taoist should be Master Su Wei Sultan."
Yuan Jing clapped his hands and said, "Yes, it is Master Su Wei, it turned out that Wen Meng said so."
Hua Wenmeng told them a lot of things about the Tianyuan Realm in a disorganized manner. Some of them were what he had read in miscellaneous books, and some were what he heard from his grandfather. No matter whether they were true or not, he told them everything all at once. He mentioned the once famous alchemist in the Tianyuan Realm because Yuan Jing was an alchemist.
Su Wei showed a bitter smile: "I didn't expect that there are still people out there who remember me. Yes, I am the Su Wei your friends are talking about."
"It turned out to be Senior Su."
"No, there is no difference between us here, so let's just call each other fellow Taoists."
Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi did not force him. He was quite happy to meet a senior alchemist so that his time here would not be too boring.
When Su Wei brought them back to the village, he also introduced them to the situation here, which was exactly what the two needed to know.
Su Wei has been in this place for hundreds of years, but he is not the one who has stayed here the longest. The people in the village ended up in this different dimension in different ways. For example, Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi came here through a one-way teleportation array, while Su Wei fell into a space crack while fighting with others. After falling out of the space crack, he found that he had entered this strange space. Others were transferred in from the secret realm.
Su Wei was holding a basket in his hand, which contained some herbs he had picked. Yuan Jing took a look and found several familiar rare Yuan plants. On the way here, he had actually picked quite a few Yuan plants. Although they were restricted and unable to use Yuan power, this place still had Yuan Qi growing Yuan plants and monsters.
"There are more than 300 people in the village now. In addition to singles like me, there are also people who have started families and have children. They can be said to have taken root here."
"Has no one ever been able to leave this place?" Yuan Jing asked in surprise.
Su Wei sighed, "As far as I know, not yet, but some people have given up the idea of finding a way out, and some people, like me, have not completely given up. When we get to the village, I will introduce the others to you. But anyway, you will stay here for a long time, and you will get to know each other sooner or later if you spend every day together."
There happened to be someone at the entrance of the village. When he saw Su Wei coming with two unfamiliar faces, he showed a look of understanding, just like when Su Wei first saw Yuan Jing: "Su Wei, are they new here? There haven't been any new members for a while."
"Okay, what's the good news?" Su Wei waved his hand, told Yuan Jing and the others their identities, and introduced them, "This is Chang Lufeng, he used to have a nickname called Crazy Lu, maybe you have heard of him."
Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi looked at each other in surprise. They had indeed heard of this person from Hua Wenmeng. They heard that this person disappeared while looking for an opportunity to break through to the level of Martial Honor. The two looked at each other and had a bad feeling in their hearts.
Yuan Jing asked tentatively, "I wonder if there is a senior named Zhong Zheng in the village?"
"That kid Zhong Zheng? You found the right one. Are you his juniors? Ah, he went out hunting today. If you want to find him, you have to wait for him to come back." Chang Lufeng didn't care about his nickname at all. He used to have a bit of a crazy temper, but no matter how violent his temper was, after staying in this place day after day and year after year, if he wasn't crazy then he would have been worn down.
Yuan Jing said: "Senior Zhong's grandson is called Hua Wenmeng. We know Hua Wenmeng, but Senior Zhong is..."
"He entered Yunmengze to look for a breakthrough opportunity, right? Unfortunately, he had bad luck and ended up in this damn place. Zhong Zheng has been here for about 40 to 50 years, right, Xiao Su?"
It seems that this Senior Chang is quite old, otherwise he would not call Zhong Zheng "boy" and Su Wei "Little Su".
Yuan Jing scratched his head and sighed, "Yes, Hua Wenmeng said that the last place his grandfather appeared might be Yunmengze. I didn't expect that we would get news about Senior Zhong and his whereabouts here before we went to Yunmengze."
This was a problem. He and Duan Linzhi were not afraid of being trapped here forever. At worst, they could return to the system space when their lifespans were exhausted. However, Hua Wenmeng was still waiting for his grandfather outside.
This result made Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi feel a little helpless.
