Chapter 397: Returning to the Ruins
"Wait, how do I feel like someone is following us!" Ling Yu, who had just taken a few steps, felt something, he suddenly stopped, and turned his head to look behind him while explaining the ambush.
"Who is it? This place of ruins is either the living dead, or it is an extremely powerful creature that cannot exist for the human race. Fu Chao followed Ling Yu's gaze and looked behind him, but he didn't notice that there were creatures following behind him.
"Maybe it's because I'm too nervous and hallucinating. Ling Yu looked back at the dim street that looked like a demon's entrance, and he looked closely, but found no living beings. Ling Yu shook his head and said softly.
As the only city in the land of ruins, the majesty of Shenxu City is naturally not comparable to that of a small city in the world. Ling Yu and the others walked on the bluestone paved streets, looking at the buildings around them as they walked forward. Although the old city is not inhabited, judging by the high-rise buildings and various shops on both sides of the road, it seems that it was once a very prosperous capital. "Emperor Demon God Blacksmith Shop", "Ancestor of Ten Thousand Voids Restaurant", "Afterlife Inn" and some other signboards also written in ancient seal characters are hung in front of the shops on both sides. They flutter gently with the breeze in the city, telling the past glory of the city.
"Emperor Heaven Demon God, the ancestor of all voids, the afterlife. How could these legendary people and sects appear here, and still exist in the form of vendor signs?" Ling Yu looked left and right, and asked in surprise.
"I don't know, I saw it the last time I came. Perhaps those legendary powers and organizations are tired of the deceit of the world, and may be able to enjoy their old age here. Fu Chao shook his head and sighed.
"What kind of place is this?Why would those powerful people from outside the world be willing to be an ordinary ordinary person here and live such a comfortable life?" Ling Yu slowly looked at the doors of the shops on both sides, and had mixed feelings for a while. If some people were to escape the pursuit of the enemies of the world, there would not be so many cultivators standing on the top of the starry sky gathered here, it is really incomprehensible.
"You said that they are the best people in the world, how can we guess their way of doing things...... It's not good, someone is coming, let's go!" Just as he whispered in a chaotic voice, he suddenly frowned and said coldly.
After the ambush finished speaking, he pulled Ling Yu to hide in a side alley that was covered by the starlight of the shops. There is no sun or moon in the Land of Ruins, and the light that illuminates it comes from faint stars in the surrounding galaxies. Shenxu City is located in the center of Guiru, and in this city, the light is not even as bright as the outer perimeter of Guiru. If the brightness of the periphery of Guixu is equivalent to the twilight of China, it can only be equivalent to the evening of China.
"Hold your breath, don't gasp, these are the undead in the ruins. They are responsible for patrolling the ruins, and if they find a creature entering the city, they will definitely arouse their alarm. Moreover, these spirits are extremely sensitive to human anger, and if our wheezing anger is perceived by them, it will not only alarm them, but even provoke them, and then we will be in danger. Fu Chao covered Ling Yu's mouth and nose and said to him.
As soon as Fu Chao's words to Ling Yu's voice fell, he heard a loud sound of footsteps from a distance. Ling Yu hid in the shadows, quietly poked her head out and looked in the direction of the source of the sound. About ten feet away from them, a group of soldiers in shiny armor was walking down the street from a distance in their direction. The men walked in a neat pace, and the sound of walking in a group of twelve was as if they were walking alone. They were uniformly dressed and carried spears of the same style in their hands. However, when they walked past Ling Yu and Fu Chao's side, Ling Yu was surprised to find that these people were soulless.
Because when this pair of soldiers and Ling Yu passed by, Ling Yu felt a cold aura rippling on their bodies, if the female cultivator of the Qionghua Hall was a walking corpse before, then these soldiers in front of him were just a shell. The twelve soldiers were staring blankly and hollowly, and even when they walked, they could only look ahead, and they couldn't even turn their heads. However, their cultivation is very high, among these people, the highest cultivation is in the state of mind, and the lowest cultivation is also at the peak of the Kuixing realm. They looked dumb, if it weren't for the ambush saying that they were undead, Ling Yu would have thought that they were refined puppets.
When the twelve soldiers were gone, Ling Yu whispered to the ambush, "Aren't they the undead, but why do I feel as if they have no thoughts......?" Manipulated puppets. ”
"You don't feel wrong, they really don't have thoughts. In the Divine Ruins City, there are a total of four kinds of undead, and they are divided into levels according to the degree of cultivation and spiritual intelligence. The undead we just saw belong to the lowest level of undead, they have no intelligence, and can only mechanically obey the orders of the high-level undead. But although they are the lowest level of undead, their cultivation has also been seen for you, and the lowest is also at the peak of the Kui Star Realm. The spiritual intelligence of the third-level undead is equivalent to that of a five- or six-year-old child, and the cultivation is much higher than that of the low-level undead. The intelligence of the second-class undead is comparable to that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and most of them are in a state of inquiry. And the first-class undead are the rarest, they have the same wisdom as ordinary people, and most of their cultivation is above and below the Supreme Realm. In Shenxu City, there are about 300 low-level undead, about 50 third-class undead, only seventeen second-class undead, and only three first-class undead. Those three first-class undead belong to the existence of the wind and rain in the Divine Ruins City, and the other undead are all under the orders of these three people, maintaining the safety of the Divine Ruins City. Fu Chao explained to Ling Yu.
"That is to say, in the Divine Ruins City, the undead are the existence that covers the sky with one hand?" Ling Yu asked as he looked at the ambush. If this army of the undead was born in Huaxia, it would definitely be a force that people should not underestimate.
"No, the Undead Legion is strong, but it is not strong enough to become the dominant force in the Divine Ruins City. Because in addition to the army of the undead, there are three other forces in the ruins. They are the Seven Princes of the Divine Ruins, the Prodigal Son's Lonely Soul, and the Sanssouci Pavilion. The Seven Princes of Shenxu are the oldest forces in Shenxu City, and they are also the most powerful existences, although there are only seven of them, they are enough to make any force fearful. The Prodigal Son's Lonely Soul is a very unique organization, and most of the cultivators in it are from the Ten Thousand Spirits Star Domain, including the Huaxia Ancestral Star. Some of them did not intend to break into the land of ruins, while others came on their own initiative to avoid their enemies. After entering the ruins, these people are willing to be corrupted by the power of the ruins, and vow not to leave the ruins for the rest of their lives, only in this way can they become a member of the camp of the prodigal son's lonely soul. Unlike the previous female cultivator of the Qionghua Temple, although the cultivators in the Prodigal Son's Lonely Soul also gained near-eternal life, they retained their memories instead of becoming the living dead like the female cultivator. Fu Chao looked into the distance and whispered.
"As for Sanssouci Pavilion, it is an organization that has only risen in the last tens of thousands of years, and they were only active on the periphery of the ruins at first, and then they entered the Divine Ruins City. These people are cruel and have no morality, and the members of their organization are mixed. It was precisely because of this that when they wanted to take root in Shenxu City, they were jointly excluded by the three forces. What's more, the cultivators of Sanssouci Pavilion are too ferocious, not only do they cultivate to a high level, they know how to survive in the ruins, and their methods are even more extreme. In desperation, the other three forces had to compromise after discussing and agreed to allow them to enter Shenxu City. Therefore, among the four forces of Shenxu City, what we should be most careful about is not the most powerful Seven Princes of Shenxu, but this Sanssouci Pavilion. Fu Chao sighed lightly and explained to Ling Yu.
"In that way, as long as we try to avoid the cultivators of Sanssouci Pavilion, then we will not be in danger?" After listening to Fu Chao's gushing narration, Ling Yu nodded and asked.
"You're wrong, the other three forces will definitely not show mercy to those who trespass into the ruins, especially those who trespass into the Divine Ruins City, and their dislike for the living is even higher than that of Sanssouci Pavilion. Although these four forces are fighting with each other, their attitude towards outsiders who break into the ruins is surprisingly consistent. Even if two of them are on the same page, when outsiders invade, they will put aside their personal grievances and share the same hatred. In fact, there has always been a saying in the return to the ruins, 'In the land of returning to the ruins, the living are not allowed to enter, and the gods and demons are forbidden to never be born.' So we have to be cautious. Fu Chao shook his head and said.
"That'...... What should we do now?" Ling Yu scratched her head, asked softly with a sad face. After listening to the explanation of the ambush, Ling Yu was one head and two big, it seemed that this Divine Ruins City was really not a good place.
"Of course, I'm looking for that thing, but we're too ostentatious now, I'm afraid that they will see through it before we enter the Divine Ruins Pavilion. So, let's first find a way to cover up the breath of the living, and then, let's do this......" After Fu finished speaking, he whispered beside Ling Yu.
"Is this okay?" Ling Yu looked skeptical when Fu Chao finished saying his thoughts. He looked at the two wrinkled spirit runes in Fu Chao's hand and asked in disgust.
"Of course, this is a treasure that I have treasured for tens of thousands of years. Hurry up, the undead legion will be coming over to patrol again in a while. Ignoring Ling Yu's reaction, Fu Chao stuffed one of the spirit runes into Ling Yu's hand and said with a big grin. Then, Fu Chao picked up the remaining spirit rune, walked into the deep alley where the starlight could not shine, and got busy with himself.
Looking at the chaotic movements, Ling Yu had no choice but to reluctantly put away the spirit rune and also walked to the depths of the alley. Ling Yu unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a body of muscular muscles, and he pasted the spirit talisman on his navel and dantian as he had been instructed by Fu Chao. The dantian is the place where the spiritual energy of the person is generated, and it is a vital organ for the cultivator. And the navel is also the location of the Shenque acupoint, the only hidden part of the innate true breath, and it is also the place where the cultivator's true qi and the aura of ordinary people overflow. As long as the dantian and the divine que are covered and the aura is sealed so that it cannot overflow, the perception of most living beings can be concealed.
After doing all this, Ling Yu and Fu Chao walked to the entrance of the alley and blocked their figures with the shops on both sides. They are like two very patient hunters, waiting for their prey to appear.
About half an hour had passed, and another sound of neat footsteps came from a distance. It didn't take long for a team of undead soldiers to walk in front of Ling Yu and the others. When the last two cultivators passed in front of Ling Yu and the others, they nodded at Ling Yu. The two of them flew down like eagles, and they came to the back of the undead squad, one of them put his arms around the neck of one of the undead soldiers, and at the same time plunged the dagger in the other hand into the temple of the undead soldiers. Ling Yu and Ambush's movements were so neat and fluid that the two undead soldiers didn't have time to react before they died.
Ling Yu and Ambush dragged the two undead soldiers into the alley, took off their silver armor, and put it on themselves. Then, Fu Chao nodded at Ling Yu, who reluctantly opened the Realm Spirit Ring and collected the bodies of the two undead soldiers into the Realm Spirit. Because Ambush said that the undead soldiers are extremely sensitive to the perception of their companions, if they don't put their corpses into the realm spirits that can hide their breath, I'm afraid that these two corpses will be found soon. And then, they were exposed.
When Ling Yu had collected the undead into the Realm Spirits, he picked up their spears, took two steps closer to the ambush, followed behind the undead soldiers, and walked towards the Divine Ruins Pavilion in the center of Shenxu City......
