As soon as they entered the demon battlefield, everyone felt the atmosphere of killing and chaos.
The city here is called Zhenwu City. The atmosphere there is more solemn than that in Black Stone City. It is said that this is because demons often come to attack, so the monks practice with their eyes open at night.
Elder Sun greeted the people of Zhenwu City, then led everyone out of the city and hurried towards the Shuangdong Secret Realm.
"Elder, shouldn't we meet up with other sects first?" Yuan Ran asked.
After entering Zhenwu City, they did not see anyone from other sects or forces.
"No need. The other sects have already gone there. We just need to take care of ourselves." Elder Sun said without turning his head.
Elder Sun is a cultivator in the late out-of-body stage. The Zixiao Sect sent Elder Sun this time to prevent the demons from cheating and ambush on human cultivators.
With a powerful late-stage out-of-body cultivator leading the way, they didn't even need to hide and could fly openly over the battlefield of demons.
Some unaware demons wanted to launch a sneak attack, but before they could get close, they were crushed to death by Elder Sun's spiritual sense, which was so powerful and strong.
There were more than a dozen people in the group. After the flying boat had flown for about seven or eight hours, they finally saw their destination.
Gao Han stood at the bow of the flying boat and looked up. In the void, a vortex appeared with a white outer surface. The center of the vortex was black, and no one knew where it led to.
Outside this vortex, there are several flying boats of different sizes parked.
There was a person standing on the flying boat, who seemed to have noticed the movement here. A few eyes looked over here, some of which were piercing and inquiring.
The flying boat then stopped in a higher void, looking down at everyone, and Elder Sun's laughter rang out.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, but is our Zixiao Sect the only one missing?"
"Elder Sun, you're joking. The Zixiao Sect is the largest sect in the Lingtian Continent, and it's not even the agreed time yet." A middle-aged man replied with a smile.
That being said, the other party's words were laced with thorns.
"This is Shi Yurong from Jishang Sect. He has a personal grudge with Elder Sun, so he doesn't get along well with Zixiao Sect. I didn't expect Jishang Sect to send him out this time."
Yuan Ran knew that Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou didn't know each other, so he explained in their ears.
"The two black flying boats that passed by are the people from the God and Demon Sect and the Nether Demon Palace. Although they are both good and evil, we can't leave them behind when the secret realm is in hand. Otherwise, it's possible that the two major forces will take advantage of the opportunity to do something."
Later, Yuan Ran introduced the other four major sects of the righteous path.
"The righteous forces in Lingtian Continent are three sects, two valleys and one school. The second valley is Qixing Valley, which you already know. Qixing Valley is a sect that specializes in refining weapons. Baiyun Valley is famous in the continent for taming beasts, but most of the people in this sect are slaves."
"Slave contract?" Gao Han became interested when he heard this term that sounded familiar yet unfamiliar.
"Just treat the monsters as slaves." said Zhongli Tingzhou on the side.
Yuan Ran nodded, "Yes, that's probably it."
Gao Han felt that this phenomenon was not normal, "Why is it a slave contract?"
“Actually, it has something to do with the Demonic Battlefield. Most of the demonic beasts in Lingtian Continent come from the Eastern Continent.
Later, the East Continent became a battlefield of demons and separated from the Lingtian Continent. The truly intelligent monsters were all in the battlefield of demons.
Over tens of thousands of years, the bloodline of the monsters in Lingtian Continent has become increasingly weak.
Later, most of the monsters born were of low intelligence. It was difficult to form a bond with such monsters, and it was almost impossible to communicate with them, so the only way was to force them into slavery."
Yuanran actually did not approve of this approach, but our ancestors had no other choice.
"This also has its drawbacks, so the demon beasts have a bad impression of human cultivators. Gradually, the inheritance of equal contracts has become less and less, and now it is almost gone."
"Then why do we have to force a contract with the monster?" Since we can't control it, why not strengthen ourselves like other sects and forces? Relying on external things is never the best way.
"Because the uncivilized monsters are also very powerful."
Some human monks were unwilling to let go of such a powerful fighting force, so even though they knew it was not the best option, they still chose to take this path.
"Which sect do those women over there belong to?" Zhongli Tingzhou suddenly said with dissatisfaction in the tense atmosphere.
Gao Han followed his gaze and saw a beautiful woman throwing a coquettish glance at Zhongli Tingzhou. It seemed that she noticed his gaze and she gave him a charming smile.
"He must be a disciple of the Fairy Sect."
There were only women there, even the elder leading the team was a beautiful woman, and judging from her appearance, she was only about thirty years old.
If he is already hundreds of years old and can still maintain this appearance, his cultivation level must not be too low.
"How do you know it's from the Fairy Sect?" Zhongli Tingzhou immediately looked at him with a face that looked like he was about to get jealous.
Gao Han rolled his eyes at him in his heart, "They are all women, even a fool can tell."
If you still argue with him at this time, in his opinion, you will not only be called a drama queen, but also a nitpicker.
Zhongli Tingzhou asked: "You mean, I'm a fool?"
The Zixiao Sect disciples who heard this behind him broke out in cold sweats. No way, their uncle-master had a quarrel with his friend.
They won't fight, or have an internal conflict, right? What will they do then? The senior uncle is of such a high seniority that it seems difficult for them to stop the fight.
Everyone had almost imagined the ending, but things didn't develop as they expected.
"What do you think?" Gao Han disagreed and didn't even look at him.
Zhongli Tingzhou looked at his profile, and just when everyone thought he was going to get angry, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you say so, then so be it. I'll give you a chance."
These words immediately scared everyone. No way, could it be that the uncle-master was so tolerant?
"Brother Yijun, this great-grandmaster Zhongli looks a lot like you. He's a very nice person." Chang Xiaoxiao, who was at the back, said secretly to Tian Yijun.
Tian Yijun also felt a sense of sympathy, and he did not hear what the two people said before.
"These women are so shameless that they actually flirt with strange men." Zhongli Tingzhou stared at the woman who just smiled at Gao Han with his eyes spitting fire.
Gao Han was speechless. The woman had clearly been flirting with him just now, but this guy was still angry.
Zhongli Tingzhou's loud glare instantly made the female disciples of the Fairy Sect excited.
"Wow, he's looking at me, he must be looking at me."
"No way, he was looking at me. His eyes were filled with intense heat that almost melted me."
"Such an outstanding man is actually seen here. When did such a person appear in Zixiao Sect? I didn't even notice him before."
"His cultivation is only at the middle stage of the Golden Core. Maybe he just reached that level a while ago."
"The young man next to him is actually not bad, and his appearance is also top-notch. It is said that Zixiao Sect specializes in producing handsome men, and it is indeed true."
"Then when I look for a husband in the future, I will specifically look for someone from the Zixiao Sect. Not only is he handsome, but he is also very powerful."
He Yuyan, who had flirted with Zhongli Tingzhou, smiled softly and posed coquettishly, "You guys are all wrong, he was looking at me."
"What evidence do you have?" The women didn't believe it, because there were many women who had just flirted with him.
"It's very simple. When you were winking at him, did he look at you? No, he didn't even look at you straight in the eye. But I'm different." He Yuyan coquettishly lifted her black hair.
"I just flirted with him and he looked at me so passionately. If this isn't his interest in me, then what is it? You are too young to compete with me for a man."
It seemed to be the case, and some people immediately showed annoyed expressions.
"Sure enough, no man can escape from Yu Yan's palm."
He Yuyan laughed tenderly.
"Okay, you are here to participate in the secret realm, not to seduce men, so restrain yourself." The beautiful woman in white said coldly.
"I got it, Fengjun, that's just what I said." He Yuyan really restrained herself a little after saying this. It was because Kong Fengjun not only had a higher cultivation level than her, but he was also the sect master's disciple.
Apart from the elders who led the team this time, Kong Fengjun has the highest status.
After entering the Shuangdong Secret Realm, if they encounter powerful demons or opponents from other forces, they may have to rely on Kong Fengjun.
The Zixiao Sect was not the last sect to arrive. There was also a Qixing Valley, which arrived just when the time was almost up.
Although they were almost late, the people from Qixing Valley did not show much apology. The old man in the lead said a few insincere words and then said nothing more.
"Are the people in Qixing Valley always so arrogant?" Gao Han asked.
"Qixing Valley gathers most of the powerful weapon refiners in Lingtian Continent. Many cultivators who want to refine weapons will most likely have to ask them for help. The weapon refiners in Qixing Valley naturally have the capital to be arrogant." Yuan Ran has long been accustomed to it.
If the people in Qixing Valley stop behaving like this one day, people might start to suspect that someone has possessed them.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started and don't waste time." said Li Changlong, the leader of Qixinggu.
There was a faint whisper all around, and one mocking voice stood out in particular.
Li Changlong looked at the person who made the mocking sound with a sullen face. Seeing that it was a young disciple of Zixiao Sect whom he did not know, he thought that he probably did not have any background, so he sneered: "Sun Zhong, are the disciples of your Zixiao Sect still so uneducated?"
Elder Sun thought to himself, the person you are talking about is really not a disciple of Zixiao Sect. He is a senior uncle or great-uncle of the entire sect and is one generation higher than you in terms of seniority.
"Well-educated people usually don't say that others are uneducated." Gao Han said lightly.
Li Changlong's expression darkened as he glared at Gao Han who was standing next to Zhongli Tingzhou, and discovered that it was another young disciple he did not recognize.
"Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?"
"It's true." Elder Sun nodded.
If you are a disciple of Senior Tiandao and you offend him, Senior Tiandao will come out and chop you up personally. I'm afraid the people in Qixing Valley won't dare to say anything.
"Sun Zhong!" Li Changlong scolded, although it was useless.
Elder Sun sighed and shook his head, "Li Changlong, you should say less, it will be more pleasing to the eye."
As soon as he arrived, he offended the disciples of the Grand Master's uncle and the disciples of Senior Tiandao. Fortunately, Li Changlong didn't know their identities.
