Five days later.
Qiushui Town.
This small town is located at the southernmost part of Dongxiu Land. A few dozen miles south of Qiu Shui Town, you will enter the place where the demons gather, which makes people shudder with fear - the Land of the South Demon.
"Qiu Shui Town is just ahead. Everyone, rest in Qiu Shui Town tonight and set off for the Southern Demon Land tomorrow morning."
At this moment, a few miles away from Qiu Shui Town, Su Xin was speaking to the disciples of Zhen Yang Sect.
"Yes, Senior Sister Su!"
At this time, everyone in the Zhenyang Sect changed into low-key plain white robes and wore conical hats, looking like a group of ordinary casual cultivators.
After all, Qiu Shui Town is very close to the land of the Southern Demon. If you are too high-profile, it will be easy to reveal your whereabouts and be noticed by the Demon Sect.
"Senior Sister Su Xin, I heard from my father that the Southern Demonic Land is more dangerous than the Northern Wasteland. Is that true?"
At this time, Xu Caihe was asking Su Xin curiously.
Zhou Ling'er and several new inner disciples beside them also opened their eyes wide, like a group of curious babies.
This time, they secretly went to the land of the Southern Demon. In addition to the six peaks each sending one or two command disciples and deacon disciples with outstanding cultivation, there were also several up-and-coming disciples who performed outstandingly in the beast tide.
For example, Zhang Ling from Jietian Peak and Zhao Zhen from Wangyou Peak.
Xu Caihe and Zhou Linger from Danxia Peak.
He Su and Lan Yin from Xiyue Peak.
He Zhiqiu and Shi Ying from Huashen Peak.
Except for Qiu Zhihe who was dressed as Ruomei, all the others were visiting Nanmo for the first time and were very curious about the place where all the demons in the world gathered.
Ye Xiyue had a cold face all the way, so they didn't dare to ask, so they could only ask the gentle and dignified Senior Sister Su Xin.
Su Xin had a gentle smile on her face: "Qiu Shui Town is full of good and bad people, and there are also many people from the Demon Sect. I really should let you know more about it to avoid being at a disadvantage."
Then he talked about the situation of the many demon sects in the Southern Demon Land:
"The three great demon sects, Qinglian Sect, Chiyun Mountain, and Tianyun Sect, needless to say. Qinglian Sect has been destroyed, so there are actually only two great demon sects left."
"Among them, Chiyun Mountain is good at puppetry and the use of poison, while Tianyun Sect relies on the twelve volumes of "Record of Celestial Beasts" to dominate the world."
"But you must not think that there are only two sects in the Demon Sect. In addition to Chiyun Mountain and Tianyun Sect, there are actually many small sects in the Southern Demon Land. Sometimes these small sects are often more difficult to deal with."
Hearing Su Xin's words, Zhou Ling'er couldn't help but say:
"Senior Sister Su Xin, I have heard of these small sects you mentioned. Are they the Blood Pill Sect, the Canglang Sect, the Tianhuang Mountain, the Purple Sword Sect, the Sun and Moon Sect, etc.?"
When the others heard her name so many sects in one breath, they became even more curious. Xu Caihe said:
"I've also heard Dad mention what Ling'er said, but he never said what these sects are good at. Senior Sister Suxin, can you tell us more about it?"
Su Xin nodded and said with a smile:
"The Blood Pill Sect is good at refining pills, but their refining materials and even the pill furnaces are not prepared by themselves, but stolen."
"A robbery-type alchemist?" Everyone looked at each other, and they all felt that the people in the Demon Sect really had no bottom line in doing things.
Su Xin continued, "The Canglang Sect practices the evil Canglang Heart Devouring Technique, which requires devouring the hearts of monsters and humans in order to practice."
"This is so scary!" Zhou Ling'er and Xu Caihe looked at each other and couldn't help shivering.
Su Xin smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. The Canglang Sect had its headquarters destroyed by the Zhenyang Sect a few years ago, so there shouldn't be any trouble. But you have to be careful about Tianhuang Mountain, because there are only women in this sect."
Zhao Zhen asked in confusion: "Senior Sister, why should we pay special attention to them when they are all women?"
Su Xin's expression was slightly solemn. "Tian Huang Mountain claims to be the descendants of the ancient mythical beast Phoenix Bird. It is said that they can grow two wings on their backs and travel a thousand miles a day. They like to capture male cultivators to absorb their essence. If you male disciples encounter them, you must be careful."
"this……"
The male disciples were stunned. They didn't expect that there was a sect in the Demon Sect that specialized in kidnapping men. Shi Ying slapped his chest:
"If I meet these birdmen, I will tear off their wings and see how they can harm people again!"
It was also the first time that Mo Xiaolan heard so many secrets about the Demon Sect, and she couldn't help but ask:
"Senior Sister Su Xin, what is the Sun and Moon Sect good at?"
Su Xin paused, and seeing that all the disciples were looking at her expectantly, she sighed slightly and said helplessly:
"The Sun and Moon Sect is what the outside world calls them. They call themselves... the Hehuan Sect."
“…”
Mo Xiaolan was startled, and her pretty face turned red at the same time. The other disciples were also a little embarrassed. Zhou Linger was bold and asked with a grin:
"Senior Sister, are all the people in the Sun and Moon Sect men?"
Su Xin patted her lightly in annoyance, but still answered in a gentle voice:
"The Sun and Moon Sect has many dual cultivation techniques that can be practiced by both men and women. Therefore, there are both men and women in the Sun and Moon Sect. You must be careful. They like to kidnap ordinary cultivators and force them to help them practice, regardless of gender. There are often cultivators missing in Qiushui Town, and most of them are responsible."
"Both men and women are captured? This Sun and Moon Sect is truly evil!"
All the disciples were stunned when they heard this. Xu Caihe asked, "Senior Sister, what happened to the cultivators who were captured?"
Su Xin sighed, "The sect has sent people to search and rescue, but most of them are difficult to save. Even if they are found, all they see are corpses that have been sucked dry. It's very miserable."
"Sucked dry?"
"How do you suck it?"
Su Xin looked solemn as she warned, "The Sun and Moon Sect's people are best at disguising themselves as ordinary cultivators and performing sneak attacks. Their evil tricks are endless. You must be careful and remember not to act alone!"
"Yes!" Everyone agreed quickly, and everyone felt a chill down their spine.
This land of the Southern Demon is indeed dangerous and treacherous!
"We've arrived at Qiushui Town!"
The gate of Qiu Shui Town appeared in front of them. Everyone approached with trepidation, ready to witness the desolate and barren scene.
After all, Qiu Shui Town is so close to the Land of the Southern Demon, and people from the Demon Sect appear from time to time, so it is impossible for it to be prosperous.
However, when everyone walked into the city gate, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
What meets the eye is not desolation and chaos, but flowing water under small bridges, willows on the bank, rows of shops and a bustling crowd of people.
This is not a remote border town at all, it is a beautiful, prosperous and gentle water town!
"What a nice view!"
“It’s so lively!”
Everyone was stunned. Although this small town was not as magnificent as Zhenyang City, it was more beautiful and graceful.
A small river runs through the town, with stone bridges standing on the river, connecting the two banks. The banks are shaded by green willows and bustling with people.
"Such a beautiful place, is there really someone from the Demon Sect hiding there?"
The disciples walked on the busy long street along the shore, looking left and right, dazzled by the sight.
"Brother, look over there!"
Liusu suddenly became excited, pulled Qin Gengyun's sleeve and pointed to a stone bridge not far away.
Mo Xiaolan and Qiu Zhihe next to them were also startled, looking at the stone bridge with burning eyes.
Qin Gengyun stopped and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.
This stone bridge is very familiar. I have seen it in the memory of Sheng Tanglian's remains.
Five hundred years ago, Sheng Tanglian came to a water town and walked onto a stone bridge. She met a few scoundrels and Zhen Yangzi came to their rescue.
But at that time he had not yet achieved any cultivation and was beaten up by a few scoundrels.
But Sheng Tanglian was attracted to him and took him to her home in a boat to apply medicine on his wounds.
That was the first time Sheng Tanglian and Zhen Yangzi met.
And the stone bridge from that year was now right in front of Qin Gengyun and his companions!
