Five days later.
Outside Yunling Town, Yunling Mountain.
"Children, do you see that big mountain? If you climb over it, you will see my sister's hometown."
"Sister Xue, why is there so much snow on this mountain?"
"This mountain is so small, not even half the size of Yunzhu Mountain."
"Sister Xue, what delicious food is there in your hometown?"
Fang Xue was introducing Yunling Town to the children of Yunzhu Mountain, which would become their second home.
Five days ago, Si Minglan took Yunxing, Yunyan and Yunyu westward to Feiyun Sect.
The group continued on their way, but because they were carrying children and in disguise, they were not traveling very fast.
The closer they got to Zhenyang City, the more prosperous it seemed. Yunwu and the children had never been down from Yunzhu Mountain and had never seen the splendor of Dongxiu Town. Along the way, they were like a group of curious babies, and everything was new to them.
But at this moment, facing the majestic Yunling Mountain, he didn't feel anything.
After all, there are hundreds of thousands of mountains in the Northern Wilderness, and Yunzhu Mountain is just one of the hundreds of mountains. The mountains in Dongxiu are really not worth mentioning to them.
"Master, why do so many trees seem to have fallen on the mountain?"
Yun Wu, who was dressed as a maid, suddenly pointed at Yunling Mountain and said to Qin Gengyun.
Yunling Mountain is covered with snow all year round, and at this moment, rows of trees fell down in the white snow, like messy horizontal lines drawn on white paper, which is very eye-catching.
Qin Gengyun had naturally seen it a long time ago, and his eyesight saw even more: those rows of trees were not cut down by weapons.
Instead, it looked like it was broken by some huge beast's paw.
Qin Gengyun often followed Nian Tang to learn skills in Yunling Mountain before, so he was familiar with the monsters there. The monsters on Yunling Mountain were at most third grade.
But looking at the broken marks on the trees, such a huge beast paw should be at least the size of a fourth-grade monster.
Fang Xue was also at the peak of the foundation building stage, so her eyesight was naturally not bad. She also saw the situation on Yunling Mountain and frowned slightly:
"Could it be that some big monster has come to Yunling Mountain?"
Liusu said beside him: "The big monsters are all in the Northern Wilderness and the Southern Demon. How could they come to a place like Dongxiu where there are only people?"
Jianyue suddenly giggled: "Maybe it's a beast tide?"
The faces of several people changed slightly, and Liusu scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about, little bitch? This is your Zhenyang Sect's territory, where did the beast tide come from?"
When Mo Xiaolan heard the word "beast tide", her body trembled slightly and she lowered her head.
In today's Hongzhou continent, the area where humans live only accounts for one-third of the land, and the remaining two-thirds are mountains and rivers.
There are many monsters in these places, but most of them are below the fifth level and have not yet developed their intelligence. They only live in the mountains and forests and will not take the initiative to go to places where humans live.
There are also a very small number of monsters above the fifth level. Monsters at this level already have intelligence, and lower-level monsters will be under their control.
The higher the grade, the more monsters you can command.
When one reaches the highest level, grade nine, the number of monsters under one's control can reach tens of thousands.
If these high-quality monsters covet the human race, the consequences will be disastrous.
Two hundred years ago, there was an incident where a ninth-grade demon beast attacked the human territory.
At that time, hundreds of thousands of monsters attacked the human city-states, blood flowed for thousands of miles, and it was a horrific sight.
This kind of situation is called "beast tide".
After that, every few decades, there would be a small "beast tide", but the number was far less, and it was quelled after only causing a small number of casualties.
Qin Gengyun looked at Mo Xiaolan and said softly: "Don't worry, you are now at the peak of foundation building, and we are here."
When Mo Xiaolan was young, she experienced a small beast tide, which caused her to lose all her relatives. Later, she was rescued by a fairy, who took her to Yunling Town, and she survived.
Therefore, Mo Xiaolan is somewhat sensitive to the "beast tide" and has some shadows in her heart.
Hearing Qin Gengyun's comforting words at this time, Mo Xiaolan felt warm in her heart and smiled at him, but this beautiful smile was blocked by her changing appearance and could not bloom.
At this time, a huge roar came from Yunling Mountain and went straight into the sky. The children were so scared that their faces turned pale.
"Is it a monster?!"
Yun Wu cried out in surprise, and saw several rays of light coming from the top of Yunling Mountain in the distance, and the roar of the monster continued to sound.
It seems that there are monks fighting with monsters.
As the light continued to grow brighter, the roar of the monster became weaker and weaker, and finally gradually disappeared.
Qin Gengyun asked, "Could it be that the sect sent disciples to kill the monster?"
Jian Yuejiao smiled and said, "Master is really smart. It seems that there are many acquaintances of Ye Xiyue in Yunling Mountain. They will be here soon."
Fang Xue's expression changed slightly, and she said to Qin Gengyun and Mo Xiaolan, "Uncle Qin, Sister Xiaolan, Sister Susu, Yunwu and I will take the children into the city first."
It is not appropriate for the children of Yunzhu Mountain to be seen by the people of the sect. Besides, Fang Xue has decided not to return to Zhenyang Sect for the time being. Even though she has changed her appearance now, she still does not want to see the people of Zhenyang Sect.
Yun Wu looked at the gate of Yunling Town in front of her, feeling a little timid, and said to Qin Gengyun: "Brother Qin...you guys come over quickly."
Qin Gengyun smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, as long as you don't show your appearance, Yunling Town is very safe."
Fang Xue, Yun Wu and the children quickly entered Yunling Town. At this time, several brilliant lights flew over from Yunling Mountain behind them. There were cultivators flying on swords.
Several handsome men and beautiful women stood on the flying swords, all of them wearing purple brocade robes representing the inner disciples of Zhenyang Sect, looking elegant and graceful.
They looked down and saw Jianyue below. Someone immediately cried out in surprise. Several flying swords immediately landed on the ground. One of them, a woman with a soft and gentle appearance, quickly walked up to Jianyue and said in surprise:
"Big sister, long time no see!"
Jianyue had now returned to her aloof fairy demeanor and nodded calmly:
"Junior Sister Wei Wan, long time no see. When did you return from your training?"
Qin Gengyun and Liusu looked at each other and were slightly surprised. They didn't expect that this gentle and beautiful woman was Wei Wan, the second senior sister of Xiyue Peak who pushed Su Hongling down from the fourth place on the Beauty List.
Liusu looked at Wei Wan carefully and saw that she had a pretty oval face, her eyes and eyebrows were extremely gentle, and her voice was as gentle and pleasant as running water under a bridge.
The figure is extremely slender, yet not too protruding. If one pound more, one would be fat, and if one pound less, one would be thin.
The most unforgettable thing is her temperament. She is like a woman who walked out of an ink painting of a water town. Even with a look of surprise on her face, her words are gentle and soft, which can melt people's hearts.
Xiaochui, you deserved to lose!
Liusu sighed in her heart.
"Big sister, I came back half a month ago. Recently, there were fifth-grade monsters appearing in the towns near Zhenyang City. All six peaks sent disciples out to destroy the monsters. I came out with all my fellow disciples. Big sister, you have lost some weight."
Wei Wan's voice was gentle and her mind was very thoughtful. She could tell at a glance that Ye Xiyue was thinner than before.
How can you not lose weight if you don't sleep well all day and pretend to be a cat or a dog to carry out night attacks?
Liusu felt a sharp sound in her heart.
Jian Yue said calmly: "I went to the Northern Wasteland for a trial for some time and just came back."
Wei Wan suddenly realized: "I see. By the way, Senior Sister, I didn't see Third Junior Sister when I got back. Where did she go?"
"Xiyue, you're back?"
At this time, an excited voice sounded, and a handsome male cultivator strode towards Jianyue with joy on his face.
