Volume 2 Plane Battles Chapter 63 Evil Spirits
Cai Ling Dao: But judging from its character, it is very likely that there is still a backer behind the scenes of this "Chaos Legion"!
Yang Zhuochao said: According to my intuition, there is indeed such a possibility! I agree with Cai Ling's point of view, and you can pay more attention to this "Chaos Legion" in the future!
As the crowd went deeper, the scene in this "Canyon of Fear" became more and more terrifying! The cliffs on both sides were towering and steep. The valley floor is full of strange rocks and bones. No wonder it's called "Canyon of Fear.....
When I came to an open place, I saw dozens of stone steps connected to a wide stone platform. There was almost nothing on the stone platform, only a tall stone arch! There was no door inside the stone arch, only a layer of colorful halo like a swirl of water!
"Zhu Yan" led the other two demon beasts to stop by the door, pointed to the tall stone arch and said: "A few immortals, this is the "space passage" that connects the "Black Rock City"! If you enter from here, you can reach the "Black Stone City" in an instant! But if you go to other places to transit, it will take at least half a year!
Yang Zhuochao asked: Then if you don't pass through the "Space Passage", how long will it take to fly from here to "Black Rock City"?
The "Zhu Yan" was obviously stunned, and then said with a wry smile: Shangxian said that he was laughing! If you rely on flying, I'm afraid you will have to fly for decades.....
Yang Zhuochao smiled and nodded: Don't mind, I'm just asking!
"Zhu Yan", "Snake Cultivator" and "Gu Eagle" said in unison: Then we will send a few immortals here, thank you for the magnanimity of the immortals.....! Let's go.....
Yang Zhuochao and the four of them passed through the "space passage" one after another, and in the blink of an eye, they stood on a high platform! Unlike the outside of the "space passage" of the "Fear Canyon", the canyon was desolate and dead, and this was obviously a lively city ..... full of people!
On the high platform, in addition to the "space channel" that Yang Zhuochao and his party had just crossed over, there were also three "space channels" alternating between virtual and real, standing at the four corners of the high platform. Come to think of it, it should also be a "space gate" to other regions!
Because he had never been there, Yang Zhuochao first proposed to wander around the city. Cai Ling and Murong Feixue were both interested in echoing each other! Yang Zhuochao secretly thought: It seems that this problem of loving shopping is really due to the nature of women! And no matter ancient or modern, there is no distinction between immortals and mortals.....
There is a very wide avenue in front of them, and both sides of the avenue are full of all kinds of shops and roadside vendors. Pedestrians are lazy and idle, or in a hurry!
At this time, Ge Lao said: This "Black Stone City" is located at the junction of the southeast region of the "Great Plane of Space", and belongs to the "Red Ridge Continent". It is also one of the largest cities in this continent!
There are people in the market, and there are also hermit masters in it. In short, the situation here is complex and changeable, and it is better to be less careful!
Yang Zhuochao was stunned and said: "Bandits in the market?
Ge Lao replied: How can there be ordinary human beings who can live in the "Great Plane of Space"! This "market disciple" is just a description of a relatively ordinary category among cultivators, and their cultivation is generally not much worse than that of the Flying Snow Maiden.....
Yang Zhuochao nodded and said: "I see, if you don't say it, I really regard them as ordinary mortals! So are there any big forces or camps around this "Black Rock City"?
Ge Lao Twist pondered for a moment and then replied: From the southeast of "Black Rock City", there is a "long share country" about a "Gui" land. "Gui" is equivalent to about 10,000 kilometers of the earth! People there are shirtless and have their hair scattered. Legend has it that the people of Changgu are good at fishing, and their bodies are no different from ordinary people, that is, their legs are extremely long, up to three feet, and they walk like stepping on stilts!
So they took advantage of their advantages to cooperate with the people of the "long-armed country" in the south, and someone once saw a man from a long-armed country catching fish in the sea with a long-armed country on his back, and they did not have to row at all, and their clothes would not be wet by the waves at all.
There is also a "Wuqi Country" further east of the "Changgu Country", and the surname of the tribe is "Ren". The peculiarity of its citizens is that they do not have offspring! Legend has it that they live in caves, and there is no distinction between men and women. They live only by breathing air, occasionally picking up dirt to eat, or some say that they can cultivate a kind of immortal method of eating qi. When they die, they are buried in the earth, but their hearts still beat and their bodies do not decompose.
After a hundred years (one says one hundred and twenty years), they will be resurrected and crawl out of the dirt to enjoy the joy of life again. And so on and so on, so that although the people here have no descendants, the family is still prosperous!
To the south of the "Kingdom of No Enlightenment," that is, the "Gentleman's Kingdom," which I told the young master, I will not repeat it here! The ruler of the "Black Rock City" is the city lord "Xie Fei Pavilion," known as the "King of the Black Stone"! Because he wielded a huge black hammer, he was nicknamed the "Black Hammer Heavenly King"!
"Black Rock City" is quite prosperous as an open city, but it has also built a large armed force to defend the city! The "Space Plane" is a large city like this, and it is not a metropolis in the sense of the same as on Earth! but a city-state, almost the size of a medium country or a superpower on Earth.....
Yang Zhuochao asked again: Doesn't the "Extraterritorial Heavenly Court" in the "Extraterritorial Heavenly Realm" manage here?
Ge Lao hesitated for a moment and said: How do you explain this to the young master! Let's put it this way, although the gods of the "Extraterritorial Heavenly Court" have high mana, the "Haotian God" rules the Three Realms "Immortal" (Heaven), "God", and "Human" (Earth) Realm. But the "demon", "underworld", and "demon" worlds are not under his jurisdiction!
This entire "Great Spatial Plane" is really too big! In addition to the "Demon", "Underworld", and "Demon" realms, like the various races you mentioned to the young master before, such as "Witches", "Asuras", "Ancient Elves", and so on, these races .....! It's not that they don't want to take care of it, but they can't manage it at all! To put it bluntly, it means that the strength is restricting the "Haotian God" and the "Extraterritorial Heavenly Court" .....!
Yang Zhuochao sighed: I understand! That is, "the strength is not enough", "the heart is more than enough but the strength is insufficient", .....!
Cai Ling and Murong Feixue were still tirelessly selecting the jewelry on the street! Ge Lao and Yang Zhuochao chatted while walking, and they didn't realize that they had reached the "King's Road" of the "Black Rock City". This "King's Road" is actually the royal road leading to the palace of the "Black Rock City"! As the "King's Road", ordinary people can't step on it casually, Ge Lao led Yang Zhuochao just about to bypass, and suddenly rushed out of a large group of soldiers and horses and hurriedly drove away outside the city.....
The general who took the lead was burly and had a solemn complexion! Looking at the well-equipped and murderous spirit of that group of men and horses, it seemed that some unknown major events had happened!
At this time, another group of men and horses followed, but they did not rush out of the city!
A passer-by asked the leading lieutenant in confusion: "This lord forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, look at your sabre-rattling appearance! I wonder what is going on in the city?"
The lieutenant replied: "Something big has happened in Dongjun..... You look carefully at the poster on the wall, it is already clearly written.
Yang Zhuochao also looked at the public notice that had just been posted, and he recognized the words on it! It was the ancient script that he had pestered Cailing to teach him to learn.
After Yang Zhuochao finished reading the proclamation, he also had a general understanding of what had happened and where it had come about! The general process was as follows: A large-scale incident of dead people suddenly occurred in the "East County" under the jurisdiction of "Black Rock City" this morning! An ordinary incident of dead people would not have attracted the attention of Wang Cheng! However, the difference this time seems to be that, first, the "scale" is very large! Second, the people after the death have turned into "evil spirits" and continue to attack the living people.....
As soon as the news came back, Wang Cheng immediately attached great importance to it, and he sent troops to investigate and control. Unexpectedly, even more astonishing news came back again! The troops that had been sent out before had been wiped out, and only a few had fled back to report that all those who had died in the army had all become "evil spirits" without exception.....
Now Wangcheng has once again sent a large number of troops to deal with the "evil spirits"! He has also announced that the people of the whole city and the counties and prefectures are not allowed to go out if they have nothing to do! No one is allowed to go to the "East County" because there is already martial law!
Yang Zhuochao is a good person by nature, and at this time, he couldn't help but be curious: Ge Lao Cailing, this matter is very strange! Why don't we go and see how to .....?
Cai Ling and Ge Lao glanced at each other and then arched their hands and said, "Obey!" Cai Ling couldn't help but continue: "Young Master, but this time is .....
Yang Zhuochao replied: Don't be afraid, we just go to see the excitement and leave! It won't be too long, and we shouldn't delay things.
The others couldn't say anything after seeing Yang Zhuochao's insistence, and immediately set off after asking for the location.
After more than an hour of flying, the four of them finally arrived at the periphery of the "East County". This resembles a small city, but at the moment it is quiet beyond everyone's expectations.....
Just when he was puzzled, he saw a large group of soldiers from "Black Rock City" speeding towards this side! It seemed that there was another wave of reinforcements.
The entire large group of soldiers, under the leadership of the commander, observed the periphery of the "East County" for a moment and then rushed straight in!
At this time, Ge Lao said: Alas, it is too reckless. If you go in like this, you will not escape the fate of the whole army!
As expected, it took less than a cup of hot tea to spare! Several soldiers who had lost their armor looked panicked and stumbled out of it again.
Yang Zhuochao hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the arm of a fleeing soldier and asked, "What is the situation inside?"
The fleeing soldier looked flustered and stammered: "All ..... All dead! all changed..... After saying that, he fled into the distance without looking back.....
Yang Zhuochao turned his head and looked at the three people: What should we do? How can we stop this catastrophe!
Ge Lao pondered for a moment and then muttered: "We can't be sure what caused it now, people will immediately become "evil spirits" after death! Besides, this situation seems to be done by a forbidden type of spell, and we don't know how to break it!
Why don't we wait and observe it in the air for a while?
Yang Zhuochao and they all nodded in agreement, and now they may only have to brake quietly!
A moment later, the four of them came to the sky above the "East County", and everywhere they saw was a desolate and strange situation! Everywhere were stumps and broken arms, and the scene of blurred flesh and blood! Countless "evil spirits" roamed among the roofs and the streets and alleys, and there was not a single living person below, which was indescribably eerie and terrifying.....
While Yang Zhuochao and the others were carefully observing to see what flaws there were, a large group of men and horses rushed in! Unlike in the past, the troops who came this time were first inspected by pioneers and scouts, and then there were clear-cut standard-bearers following behind. A king's momentum!
Ge Lao frowned slightly and said, "It's not good! The "King of the Black Stone" and the "Xie Fei Pavilion" actually came in person.....
