When the land of Middle-earth was turbulent for hundreds of years, Daqian was only a weak northern country.

Qizhou, to which it belongs, is located on the edge of the northwest of Daqian.

To this day, the great cadres dominate the world, and this Qizhou can still be called desolate.

If you go further, you will reach the border pass, bordering foreign countries.

The capital of Qizhou is Yongcheng, but Xu Mochen and Tang Derun did not enter directly.

After the disguise, the two investigated in the surrounding area.

The largest mountain range here is called Broken Soul Ridge, and as its name suggests, in addition to the treacherous terrain, there are many poisonous insects and beasts.

But even if it is dangerous, there are many Terrans who try to get through by all means.

The reason is that from here, in the past, it was a foreign country, and some trade could be carried out privately without paying additional taxes.

As long as there is profit, there are risk-taking people.

Xu Mochen and Tang Derun, the two came to a small village.

It was quiet everywhere, the doors and windows of every house were closed, and there was no one in sight, not even cats or dogs.

The cold wind blew, and the dead leaves on the ground rolled with dust.

Xu Mochen's divine sense swept over, and he also had an understanding of the situation here.

It's not that there are no people, but all of them are dead, eaten to the bone.

"Your Majesty...... Childe," Tang Derun pushed open a door, and there were three dried corpses lying in the house, "There is a high probability that it should be done by the demon beast world."

However, it should be some unorganized and unintelligent demon beasts that attack the Terran villages so actively and brightly. ”

The Demon Beast World also has the rules of the Demon Beast World, and if you want to cultivate immortals, everyone must follow certain rules.

Immortal cultivators, in particular, are built on the basis of the human race.

They can see Terrans as ants, but they don't want to kill them all.

There must be man-eating monsters, but there won't be many.

Under normal circumstances, sects such as the Xianxia Realm will intervene and kill the demon beasts that violate the rules to maintain order.

But obviously, no one cares about it in the area of Broken Soul Ridge.

"Wechen...... In the next opinion, it is not that the Wuji Sect does not care, but that they do not take it to heart at all. Tang Derun sighed.

Xu Mochen's eyes were gloomy, as the emperor of the human race, he was naturally angry when he saw such a tragic image.

"Relying on this, can you appeal to the Immortal Cultivation Realm and cure the sins of the Wuji Sect?" He asked.

Tang Derun was silent for a while, and his tone was helpless: "At most, it is a dereliction of duty to rectify, and we want to completely eliminate the Wuji Sect and change the situation in Qizhou, unless we can find more serious problems." ”

This is the sorrow of the low status of the human race.

Xu Mochen's clenched fist loosened: "Let's bury them first." ”

Tang Derun received the order and quickly collected the corpses, piled them with firewood, and set them on fire.

He took out a talisman seal, which was specially used to clean up grievances, and raised his right hand, and the talisman seal floated up and lit it.

A gust of wind dispersed, and the air in the village was much brighter, but Tang Derun let out a "huh".

"Childe," Tang Derun frowned, "It stands to reason that the villagers died tragically, and there should be some remnants of soul resentment left."

However, when I had just used the soul purifying talisman seal, I found that there was no soul left here. ”

Xu Mochen looked around: "What you mean, the soul of the villagers is gone." ”

"Yes, someone must have taken it on purpose." Tang Derun came to a conclusion.

Demon beasts only devour essence and blood, and they have no interest in souls.

On the contrary, when it comes to souls, it is associated with the Netherworld.

"It seems that the water in this Qizhou is a bit deep," Xu Mochen smiled, "A remote area is like this, and the situation in this world can be understood." ”

Tang Derun didn't dare to answer.

Xu Mochen didn't say anything more, and when the corpses were burned, Tang Derun raised a gust of wind and sent them all into a pond outside the village.

The two of them spread out and swept away, quickly shuttling through the jungle.

According to Tang Derun's prior investigation, in the area of Broken Soul Ridge, what is most needed for the flesh and blood of the human race is a demon beast organization called Red Moon Castle.

The demon beasts of Red Moon Castle are all bat demons, and they need blood very much.

Xu Mochen thought about whether he could tear a rift from here.

The place where the immortal cultivators live is a place where their gods are hidden, but the portal is hidden, hidden in the mountains, and it is very difficult to find.

Xu Mochen and the two of them could only condense their divine consciousness in their eyes, trying to find the abnormality.

There are many poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains, but they can sense the oppressive force of the two of them, and they avoid them everywhere they go.

As he was moving forward quickly, suddenly a dozen red lights fell in front of him.

The vision protruded, Tang Derun reacted quickly, he accelerated and rushed up, and the two divine powers behind him opened, and a long whip flew out.

The long whip swept away, locking in a red light, and then the whip exploded into a cloud of flying pieces, hitting the rest of the red light.

A scream rang out, and the red light fell to the ground, turning into bat demons.

Except for the bat demon, who was locked by the neck with a long whip, the rest fell to the ground, unconscious.

Immortal cultivators can't kill each other at will, otherwise it will be the result of each other's endless death.

Tang Derun didn't kill them at the beginning, he just stunned them.

"Say," he tightened his whip, "you're from Red Moon Castle?" Where is the portal entrance? ”

The bat demon shuddered and pointed to his neck.

Tang Derun let go, and the bat demon cried and replied, "There is a stone tablet in front, and there is the gateway to our Red Moon Castle. ”

Since these two men offered to send them to the door, he was happy to see them.

got the answer, Tang Derun pointed a little, and the other party also fell.

"Let's go." Xu Mochen's expression was relaxed, as the son of heaven, he was much more courageous than others.

After turning a few intersections, the two saw the stele.

The divine consciousness was condensed in his eyes, and the stone tablet glowed with a strange light.

"If you rush in, will there be a problem?" Xu Mochen asked.

"Let's try the formation of opening the portal." Tang Derun stepped forward, quickly sealed with both hands, and pressed it on the stone tablet.

As soon as the light of the stele changed, Tang Derun turned his head: "Childe, you can go in." ”

The two of them flashed in, and the scene inside was a different one.

In the sky, a red moon hangs, and the mountains below are continuous, until the distance meets the sky, and a huge castle can be faintly seen.

These mountains, the trees on the mountains are very strange, the trunks are like huge needles, there are no leaves, only hanging red and purple fruits of different sizes.

"It's blood fruits," Tang Derun explained, "Demon beasts that need blood rely on these blood fruits to refine and refine qi."

The nutrients of the blood fruit are generally animals without intelligence, of course......"

Once the rules are broken, anything with flesh and blood can become nourishment.

Including the Terrans.

Xu Mochen pointed ahead, at the foot of the mountain, two groups of people were standing facing each other, and on their right side, there was a group of human beings tied to chains.

It seems that some kind of transaction is being made.

One of them, wearing clothes similar to the bat demon Xu Mochen had just encountered, was a person from Red Moon Castle.

On the other hand, they are all wearing cloaks and can't see their faces clearly.

Seeing this, the two sneaked over silently.
