Chapter 396: Chaos
The practice is endless, and the battle is endless.
This is the most famous sentence in the course of tens of thousands of years of human history.
However, in the past two hundred years, with the accession of Emperor Jinren, the Dajin Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, except for the occasional foreign riots on the border, the only war is the eastward advance of the steppe people.
But it was still blocked by Xu Guogong's town **** and Ye Shuai's thorn army outside the Jianmen Pass.
Therefore, for those cultivators who do not have a military position, there are actually not many opportunities for actual combat.
Stages such as Chunyu are specially prepared for the young geniuses of major academies, families, and sects, and they are still open every nine years.
As for the occasional competitions held between those sects and families, they were just petty fights, and they were not on the table at all, and the truly famous cultivators rarely participated.
Take Zhang Tiancheng of Wuhemen as an example, if it weren't for the appearance of the Jinyuan Secret Realm, I am afraid that he would not be able to walk down Taihe Mountain in his life, unless there is a sudden war in the world, only then will they ordinary cultivators have the opportunity to shine.
Therefore, Bai Feng and Xie Fengjun and others will be in seclusion for many years and walk in the world as scattered cultivators.
The so-called seclusion is not that they are really secluded in the deep mountains and old forests, isolated from the world, but that they have detached themselves from the general environment of the entire cultivation world and gone to the places where they are most needed to fight.
For example, the grass cutting defense line, such as the wild battlefield north of Yin Mountain, and then the sea of sand outside the crystal city, etc.
As for other ordinary cultivators in sects, families, and academies, they could not voluntarily break away from the forces they were attached to, so the secret realm became the only way for them to increase their actual combat experience.
And this time, the Jinyuan Secret Realm was opened, and it inevitably became the best battlefield for all parties to compete for.
Although because of the particularity of the Golden Yuan Secret Realm. There were no resources worth desperately grabbing for cultivators, so most of them still maintained relative restraint, but the flames of war seemed to have spread to the periphery of the entire Golden Yuan Secret Realm.
Moreover, because Xia Sheng forcibly opened the Heavenly Great Array, a very serious spatial disorder occurred in the entire secret realm, and it also allowed many cultivators to go deep into the core area of the secret realm.
Battles between practitioners take place all the time.
And due to the establishment of the Seventy-two Alliance, those disciples who originally came from the major sects joined together. It immediately put great pressure on the cultivators of other academies and families.
The contradictions between all parties continue to escalate, and there is a trend of getting more and more intense, but at this time, there is a shocking news that swept everywhere.
It is said that all the elder-level masters sent by the Murong family this time were buried in the mouths of the beasts, and there were no corpses!
Soon after, new wrongful deaths were discovered in other places.
Judging from the clothes on their bodies, they should be cultivators from the Seventy-Two Alliance, and there are even more disciples of super sects such as Chongxu Palace!
But here's the problem. If it was just an ordinary beast, how could it have killed so many people?
This incident was very unusual, and it immediately aroused the vigilance of the majority of cultivators.
It took about another two or three days before someone finally discovered the wonder of ten thousand beasts galloping on a plain to the south, and the fog that had been haunting everyone's hearts seemed to gradually disperse.
For a while, everyone had a common enemy, and immediately pointed the finger at those murderous beasts, whether under the banner of avenging the wrongful dead. Or to regain human dignity, in short. In a short period of time, the fighting in various places had stopped, and a group of cultivators formed several beast-slaughtering columns one after another, chasing in the direction of the herd's movement.
Of course, not all of them have the interest in showing off their might to the beast, such as Xie Fengjun and Mu Sisi. did not participate in this expedition, but searched for the whereabouts of a person.
Naturally, it is Xia Sheng.
"This Xia Sheng is really not simple, if what I expected, he should have some kind of secret method of communicating with wild beasts, and it is rumored that the Murong family elder died tragically in the forest. And those disciples of the Seventy-Two League, I'm afraid they all have to be counted on his head!"
Regarding Xie Fengjun's analysis, Mu Sisi was noncommittal, but frowned and said: "Compared to this, I want to know more about how he and that madman escaped." ”
Xie Fengjun's face was indifferent, and he said: "Even if he is really alive, he must have suffered extremely serious injuries, and he will definitely find a way to leave from the secret realm, if I were you, I should wait at the exit of the secret realm." ”
Mu Sisi disagreed, she shook her head and said: "This person can't act like an ordinary person, my intuition tells me that he is still in the secret realm." ”
Involving such an unreasonable thing as a woman's intuition, Xie Fengjun had nothing to say, so he could only continue to look bitterly and search for Xia Sheng's whereabouts with Mu Sisi.
However, to the surprise of the two, in the next few days, although they did not find Xia Sheng's whereabouts, they heard another news that had just spread.
Less than thirty miles away from them, there was a cultivator who looked like a beggar, who was vigorously chasing and killing ordinary cultivators, like a cloud roaring in a state of rage, indiscriminately killing, killing, killing!
Hearing the news, Xie Fengjun suddenly clenched the blind cane in his hand, and subconsciously said, "It's a madman!"
And Mu Sisi's reaction was even more crisp and neat, and he directly said murderously: "Chase!"
From a certain point of view, Xie Fengjun, Mu Sisi and Bai Feng are one of the few people who know about Xia Sheng's connection with the beasts, but unfortunately, none of them participated in the encirclement and suppression of the ten thousand beasts, so this news did not spread.
And what people didn't expect was that among the elders of the Murong family and the innocent disciples of the Seventy-two Alliance, there was actually a survivor!
Although this person did not witness the terrible scene of the attack of ten thousand beasts, he knew that Xia Sheng was with the other victims at that time, and this person did not leave the Jinyuan Secret Realm, but followed Qin Yan and Ye Xiao'e, continued to go deep into the center of the Jinyuan Secret Realm, and encountered Xia Sheng for the second time!
But the difference is that Xia Sheng at this time is not as majestic and invincible as before, but at the weakest time.
Any cultivator can kill him with a casual touch of a finger.
Of course Zhou Hao can too.
But he didn't dare.
In fact, since the moment Qin Yan and Ye Xiao'e discovered Xia Sheng, the idea of escaping reappeared in Zhou Hao's heart, but at this time, he had already gone deep into the hinterland of the secret realm with the large army, and if he ventured back, it was probably the worst choice.
Once he is alone, let alone encountering ten thousand beasts running, even if he encounters a quicksand or swamp, it may kill him!
So Zhou Hao was forced to choose another strategy, which was to take the initiative to become low-key.
Fortunately, Xia Sheng was too seriously injured and his line of sight was limited, if Zhou Hao deliberately avoided it, Xia Sheng would not have been able to discover his existence at all, not to mention the threat brought by Yuan Ziqiu and Lin Ru, which attracted all Xia Sheng's attention, and naturally there was no way to pay attention to others.
In this way, Zhou Hao's life is indeed too good.
Until I don't know why, the masters of the Qin Family Shan Hall suddenly seemed to go crazy and began to fight each other.
