Both of them were not slow, and soon left the sphere of influence of Yong'an City and went deep into the mountains.

At this time, Qin Tian suddenly stopped, and Li Shangwu also stopped and said, "Why don't you chase it?" ”

Qin Tian said with some confusion: "The green light we saw earlier is not very fast, it stands to reason that we should have discovered it long ago if we chased it here with all our might." ”

Li Shangwu also found the problem.

"If it's not so fast, it's where we missed along the way." Li Shangwu looked at Qin Tian.

The two looked at each other and said at the same time, "Valley." ”

It turned out that the two of them came all the way, and the terrain along the road was in full view, and there was nothing peculiar. If you want to hide, it's in a valley you just passed by. At that time, it was not far from Yong'an City, and they didn't expect anything unusual to be so close to Yong'an City.

After a while, Qin Tian and the others turned around and came to this valley. It was not the green woods beyond the mountains, but a charred earth and withered trees.

Li Shangwu frowned: "There is a demonic spirit." ”

When Qin Tian heard him say, he also felt it, but he really couldn't tell what demonic qi was. At this time, he was embarrassed to ask Li Shangwu how to tell the difference.

Qin Tian and Li Shangwu fell to the ground, and the two walked side by side. Li Shangwu drew his spear with a serious expression, although Qin Tian couldn't feel the demonic aura, he also knew that things were not simple.

This place is not far from Yong'an City, there are imperial city guards in the front, and there is the Qin family who cultivates everyone in Tongzhou in the back, and there are many cultivators in Yong'an City, so it stands to reason that there will be no monsters here.

Suddenly, the two of them heard a looming shout again, in front!

Qin Tian and Li Shangwu hurriedly picked up their speed and crossed the hill in front of them.

The sight that came into view of them did surprise the two of them.

Behind the hill was a small basin, but it was full of terrifying scenes, the basin was barren, the ground was littered with human bones, in the center of the basin in a place similar to an altar, two young human women were naked, wailing in pain, and in front of them stood a humanoid monster with a rickety body and green hair.

At this time, the monster also felt the breath of Qin Tian and the others, and suddenly turned around, but it was absorbing the young woman's essence in his mouth and nose.

The first time Qin Tian saw this kind of scene, Li Shangwu was obviously much more experienced: "Bold monster!" ”

With a loud shout, Li Shangwu did not hesitate at all, the spear broke through the air, and went straight to the monster, Qin Tian also reacted, and directly used the star chaser to catch up.

The monster let out a strange laugh, and its body suddenly turned into a whirlwind, and it also roared and rushed towards the two of them.

But Qin Tian and Li Shangwu were not ordinary cultivators, both of them were leaders of the younger generation, and the monster instantly came into contact with Qin Tian and the others.

I saw Li Shangwu's spear exert its strength, the red light flowed, and he directly stabbed into the whirlwind, Qin Tian also killed, and the punch containing the five-colored golden stone qi was struck out with all his might.

The two of them hit the green whirlwind that the monster had turned into at the same time.

"Huh", the monster roared, obviously he didn't expect the two young human beings in front of him to be so strong.

But he also reacted very quickly, seeing that he had suffered a loss, his body suddenly emitted a green light, and he suddenly fled into the distance, and the speed was extremely fast.

Qin Tian and the two roared to catch up, and after chasing for a while, they still didn't catch up, seeing that the monster was about to cross the mountain, Qin Tian called Li Shangwu: "Brother Li, it's important to save people." ”

Only then did Li Shangwu remember that there were still two women in the valley. So the two hurried back to the valley, but fortunately, the two women were only frightened, and they were taken a little by the monster.

When the two women saw that the cultivators came to the rescue, they didn't care that they were not clothed, so they got up and ran towards the two.

But he was stopped by Li Shangwu's spear, Qin Tian took out two clothes from the Sumeru ring and said, "Put them on." ”

The two women were crying with tears, and hurriedly changed their clothes when they saw this.

"Where are you from, and why were you caught by that monster?" Qin Tian asked.

One of them, a slightly shorter young woman, stopped sobbing and said to the two: "The two of us are originally from Fengcun, thirty miles away, and on the way to Yong'an City this morning, because we were not strong enough, we thought of taking a shortcut. Who knew that as soon as he entered the mountain, he was swept up by the monster. ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't know what was going on, Qin Tian and the others didn't continue to ask, but took them back to Yong'an City.

The two had already discussed this matter on the road, and Li Shangwu told Qin Lianhai that there were monsters moving in broad daylight so close to Yong'an City, which was extraordinary.

Sure enough, after Li Shangwu told Qin Lianhai about this, Qin Lianhai immediately found Zhang Wenyong, the lord of Yong'an City, and the two organized people to enter the mountain to explore on the same day.

In the end, it was discovered that the valley was indeed a sacrifice ground for a certain monster, and there were dozens of white bones in it.

When the news came out, people were panicked for a while, Zhang Wenyong couldn't tell the depth, and he also truthfully reported the discovery to the Central Imperial City. He was also a little surprised, because although the mountain range was very close to Yong'an City, in fact, the Imperial City had already designated him as a border area, and the border garrison was responsible for the jurisdiction, and the daily patrol of Yong'an City would go to the mangrove forest at most, and would not enter the mountains again.

And the mountain is also not a short distance from the garrison, and everyone thinks that it is close to Yong'an City, so the garrison army did not send people to inspect.

And just like that, it became a place that neither side noticed.

At this time, the Xuanwu Continent, the Central Imperial City stood on this continent, although in terms of floor area, the Xuanwu Continent was smaller than the four continents, but the population in it was much larger than the four continents combined. Among them, there is an endless stream of cars and horses, traders and cultivators, and the reason why it is so prosperous is the central imperial city.

That was one of the supreme rights of the entire mortal world, and only a few sects under the immortal realm could compare with it. In terms of the number of people, I am afraid that the sum of several sects is not as large as that of the Imperial City.

All the armies in the Imperial City are composed of cultivators, and in the army, they are also divided into levels according to the realm of cultivation and actual combat experience, and the most ordinary soldiers are also the realm of turning qi and dividing the valley. When he arrived at Tsukiki, he held some positions in the army.

Today, the imperial city in the past three hundred years has been controlled by the Zhou family in the Xuanwu Continent, and the current emperor and prince are all members of the Zhou family. It is said that the Zhou family was still the guard of the royal family more than 300 years ago, but the war between the human race and the demon clan that broke out three hundred years ago almost destroyed the human dynasty, and finally relied on the strength of the Zhou family, and dragged it to the later stage of the war.

Under the towering golden tower is a continuous imperial city building, and in a room with cigarettes on it, a young man sits at a table, looking at the jade slip in front of him, this young man is dressed in a black robe embroidered with golden cloud patterns.

After a while, putting away the jade slip, the young man spoke: "Send someone to Tongzhou to check, don't alarm my father for the time being, it's just a little demon who has transformed into a shape, and I can't explain anything yet." ”

The man wearing a black mask and a saber in the audience said in a deep voice: "Command." ”

"Your Highness, there is one more thing, the sixth prince has come to ask for a meeting for three consecutive days, saying that he wants you to guide him." The man spoke.

The young man held his forehead: "It's just to participate in a discussion conference, what is there to point out about, his strength is already in the top three." I haven't dealt with this bunch of affairs, and if I let him get entangled, I won't be able to get rid of it for a while. Go, and if he asks you, he will say that I am busy. ”

The man with the sword then exited the room.

At this time, Qin Tian was still practicing hard in his small courtyard, and through a short fight with Li Shangwu, Qin Tian found that his cultivation was really effective, and Li Shangwu's spiritual weapon could be stopped by his own hands, and he didn't feel much about it. Previously, Jing Yun's spiritual weapon injured him, although Li Shangwu may not have done his best, but his physical body did advance a little more.

There were only a little more than two months left before the time to set off for the Central Imperial City, and Qin Tian also wanted to go over to Qing Jue to discuss the problem of cultivation, but then he thought that the most important thing to solve at this time was the problem of his own strength, after all, at present, judging from the book cultivation, he was the bottom one in the Qin family's six-person group, and looking at the entire contestants who participated in the Dao Conference, his cultivation was also the lowest level.

The small five-colored golden pill in Qin Tiandantian was still devouring a large amount of spiritual energy, but it did not grow. While cultivating Xuangong, Qin Tian also began to improve his strength from other directions.

Previously, when he tasted the benefits of Xuangong, he focused on cultivating Xuangong, but now he saw that Xuangong's improvement was too slow, so he took time out to study the nameless mental method and the Falling Star Technique.

In the past two days, Qin Mu and Xiaoxue also told Qin Tian that there were monsters outside Yong'an City, and people were forbidden to go out of the city, and they could only leave the city after the people from above investigated clearly.

Qin Tian had known it a long time ago, and even one of the discoverers of that monster was him, and that was the first time he had seen the true evil power of this world.

Afterwards, Qin Tian also consulted the books left by the man in black, and he found that the demon clan recorded in the books was not the same as what he saw that day.

It is recorded in the book that the demon clan is also a naturally born creature of heaven and earth, and all things in heaven and earth not only include the human race, but also birds and beasts, plants, trees, flowers and fish, all of which are creatures of heaven and earth. The demon race in history has its own cultivation method, similar to but different from the human race, they have their own territory, and generally do not have major friction with the human race, and some of the demon races recorded in the book are also races that have the same rational thinking as the human race and concentrate on cultivation.

And the demon I saw that day was to improve my cultivation by sacrificing my life, this kind of exercise is not like the cultivation method of the demon clan, but it is more like the cultivation method of the demon clan recorded in the book.

Qin Tian couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, but he believed in the man in black very much, and there was nothing wrong with what he had recorded in his book so far.
