Chapter 357: There is a change in the chaotic clouds
The Chaotic Cloud Forest is a vast and boundless dense forest behind the Ancient Tree City, outside the Ancient God Pass, because there are chaotic clouds all the time in it, so it gets its name.
It is also because the Chaotic Cloud Forest does not see the light of day all day long, even the powerhouses of the Grandmaster Realm have to be doubly careful when walking in the Chaotic Cloud Forest, for fear that the demon beast will suddenly appear, and they are also afraid of encountering danger in the Chaotic Cloud Forest.
At the beginning, the largest assassin organization of the dynasty, Shuiyue Tower, sent the most famous assassin to assassinate a powerhouse of the Emperor Realm here, making the reputation of this dense forest spread all over the world, and some people even called the Chaotic Cloud Forest one of the ten most dangerous places in the Great Wei Dynasty.
The danger naturally comes from the fact that there are many powerful demon beasts in it, and it also comes from the fact that many people die here every year.
For many reasons, even the geniuses of the four major families have to travel together when they enter the Chaotic Cloud Forest, just in case.
And now, a caravan of the Zhang family passed through the chaotic cloud forest, intending to go to Qinglin City, and the leader of the team was Zhang Chengmei, the leader of the Zhang family's current young talents.
Although Zhang Chengmei's status in the Zhang family is not as good as Zhang Wouji, but among his peers, he is still second only to Zhang Wouji's genius, even in the entire Ancient Tree City, he is second only to Yang Guangting and Yang Zhengjian, plus his father Zhang Wanqian is now the patriarch of the Zhang family, and now he is more proud, and he has a tendency to take charge of the Zhang family.
Since returning from the Demon Slaying Realm, now that five years have passed, his realm has also obtained the Emperor Realm, and it is precisely in this way that he has the ability to lead a caravan.
As for the people who followed him, there were Zhang Xun, one of the four geniuses of the original Ancient Tree City, and Zhang Lei, another genius of the Zhang family.
Although Zhang Xun was the lowest accomplished and the least talented of the four at the beginning, he still got the respect of the family, otherwise he would not have been entrusted with important tasks.
Zhang Xun rode on the horse and said to Zhang Chengmei: "Cousin Chengmei, I heard that Yang Qi has now become one of the top ten heavenly pride, not only him, but even Chen Tianling has also become one of the top ten heavenly pride, what kind of adventure did they get, and the progress is so fast?"
You must know that among the peers of the Zhang family, his talent can already be ranked in the top five, but even so, his realm is only the king realm now, although it is already in the middle stage, but compared with Yang Qi and others, it is too much worse.
Zhang Chengmei remembered the previous picture in the Demon Eradication Realm, and couldn't help but shake her head and said: "Yang Qi's ability is far superior to ours, even compared to Uncle Wuji, it is not inferior, but he is still far from reaching the level of Uncle Wuji, after all, Uncle Wuji is now the dean of the Star God Academy." ”
The cousin Wuji in his mouth is naturally Zhang Wuji, Zhang Wuji is a generation older than them, so he is their cousin.
Zhang Lei on the side also said: "This is natural, Uncle Zhang Wuji is the most outstanding genius of our Zhang family, even if Yang Qi and others are famous now, it is much worse than him, not to mention, I heard that Chen Qianling and others have been appreciated by him in the Star God Academy, listen to him, otherwise it would not be possible to progress so fast." ”
Zhang Chengmei nodded, and was about to say something, but she felt that something was wrong.
The cultivators' eyes are keen, and they are naturally several times better than ordinary people, plus their realm is profound, and their visibility is not low, but now they can only see the position of ten zhang in front of them.
Zhang Chengmei is okay, but those who are not in the realm of those who follow him are not very clear, and at this time, they can't even see very clearly from ten feet away.
Zhang Xun sensed the abnormality, and said with some suspicion: "It stands to reason that although the demon beasts are rampant and dangerous in this chaotic cloud forest, it is not so terrifying, and when we experienced this place before, this kind of thing did not happen." ”
Zhang Chengmei felt it, and said to the people behind her: "You guys are waiting here, I'll go ahead and take a look, remember not to move, what is in this chaotic cloud forest, even if thousands of years have passed, no one knows." ”
With that, he flew forward.
Now he is a powerhouse in the Emperor Realm, it is just an easy thing to advance dozens of zhang in an instant, feeling the constant changes in the aura around him, he drove back and forth in the chaotic clouds, and finally found the place where the aura changed.
It's a very secluded place, because the trees are so high that no sunlight lets in, and the fog here feels more dangerous than other places.
He cautiously looked around to see if there were any monsters playing here.
Finally, he found the target he was looking for, only to see that there was a black hole in front of him, which was difficult to find in the sky because it was hidden by the woods, but when he looked closer, he had a bottomless feeling, and he even had a feeling that this place was very dangerous.
He wanted to go back and inform the others, but when he wanted to turn back, he found that the black hole stretched out a big hand, and then, the big hand grabbed him, and without the slightest reaction, he was directly held in the big hand!
His realm was profound, so he wanted to resist, but he was shocked to find that he couldn't even move, let alone resist!
If you want him to lose the power to resist, at least he has to be a strong man in the Emperor Realm, but with this big hand in front of him, he can't feel how deep the realm is, and even the breath of the realm is difficult to feel.
He is naturally a person who is very afraid of death, otherwise when Yang Qi and the others resisted the demons in the Demon Eradication Realm, he would not have turned a blind eye, and it was because he was afraid of death that he used his life-saving magic weapon to escape from here, at least he had to save his life.
He has a great future, and he can even become the patriarch of the Zhang family in the future, he doesn't want to die here.
Even the magic weapon of the strongest was useless, and he began to despair......
Eventually, he was caught in a black hole, and he gradually lost consciousness......

A few days later, the Ancient Tree City City Lord's Mansion.
The four major families all have several powerful people here, and the purpose is to discuss the change in the Turbulent Cloud Forest.
Zhang Yingcai of the Zhang family took the lead and said: "Just four days ago, a caravan of our Zhang family lost contact in the chaotic cloud forest, which was not a matter worth investigating, but because this time the team was led by the eldest son of my nephew Zhang Wanqian, so I have to investigate!"
Zhang Yingcai has a great difference in the Zhang family, even Zhang Wanqian, the head of the Zhang family, has to call him his cousin, of course, he also has a very important identity, that is, he is Yang Qi's maternal uncle and Zhang Wuji's uncle.
Guan Qingsong used the only remaining right hand to scrub the big knife in front of him, and when Zhang Yingcai finished speaking, he also said: "In the past few days, our housekeeper has also lost contact with several teams that hunt demon beasts, and the location of the crime is all in the Chaotic Cloud Forest. ”
Song Lanxiang of the Song family also said: "Although nothing similar happened to our Song family, but because I am in charge of the army of Ancient Tree City, we have received reports from many other small families, and now there are no less than dozens of such incidents in the Chaotic Cloud Forest. ”
And the person of the Yang family here is Yang Qi's second uncle Yang Qiuyu, and after the other three finished speaking, he said with some caution: "Yesterday, Yang Xuanye, the supreme elder of our Yang family, personally went to the Chaotic Cloud Forest to find out, but to no avail, but it is certain that the Chaotic Cloud Forest has undergone great changes, as for whether it is artificial or otherwise, it is still unknown. ”
When Guan Qingsong heard this, he was a little shocked and said: "If even Yang Xuanye and Yang Lao can't find out, then it seems that this matter is not trivial!"
The four families represented by the four of them are the representatives of the most pinnacle forces in Ancient Tree City today.
And at this moment, even the patriarch Guan Qingsong, who is the housekeeper, came in person, as for Yang Qiuyu, Zhang Yingcai and others, although they are not the patriarchs of their respective families, they are all important figures in Gushu City, which is enough to see their caution on this matter.
Song Lanxiang remembered that Silverwater City seemed to have a certain amount of resentment towards Ancient Tree City recently, so she said with some puzzlement:
"Silverwater City has recently made some small moves against our Ancient Tree City, could it be that the Geng family of Silverwater City did it?"
Yang Qiuyu shook his head: "Let's not talk about whether the Geng family has the courage or not, just some of these people are not something they can easily kill, and even if it is a uniform, it is not very easy, after all, among the people who have lost contact, there is a genius like Zhang Chengmei, if I remember correctly, his realm is not inferior to the few of us here!"
Zhang Yingcai echoed: "That's true, it's even more difficult to kill a strong man in the emperor realm unknowingly, not to mention that there are many king realms next to Zhang Chengmei, so I'm afraid this matter is not man-made!"
A few people were about to say something, but Yang Qiuping, the city lord of Ancient Tree City, walked in, nodded to a few people, and then said:
"Just now I sent more than a hundred people to the Chaotic Cloud Forest to find the bodies of those who lost contact, and I also left my own mark on their bodies, just now, the marks of all of them disappeared in an instant, that is to say, more than 100 of them were killed at almost the same time!"
Among the several people, Yang Qiuyu, the eldest, immediately said: "Qiuping, immediately order, from today onwards, all the people of the Ancient Tree City are not allowed to go to the Chaotic Cloud Forest, even around the Chaotic Cloud Forest, so as to reduce unnecessary casualties!"
After speaking, he stood up and hurriedly walked outside, and the direction he went was the direction of the Yang family.
Yang Qiuping nodded, gave instructions to the several deputy city lords behind him, and then said to Song Lanxiang: "Lanxiang, from now on, the Ancient God Pass prohibits all pedestrians, and also, always observe the movement of the Chaotic Cloud Forest, if there is anything wrong, always warn of the beacon fire!"
Song Lanxiang heard this, nodded, and strode out.
After ordering everything, Zhang Yingcai and Yang Qiuping glanced at each other, and they both saw the horror in each other's eyes.
There is no wind and no waves, I am afraid that many things that have happened in the chaotic cloud forest in the past few days are the prelude to the coming storm!
As if thinking of something, Yang Qiuping suddenly said: "I once heard the old man in the clan mention that there are many big demons sealed in the Chaotic Cloud Forest, could it be that those rumors are not groundless?"
