"That's really a narrow road, what is that Floating Ghost Sect doing here?" Li Changyue, Murong Ling and the others looked at each other a few times, intentionally or unintentionally, and then asked Ling Yu and the others with a puzzled expression, "Normally, the sects will not cross their own sphere of influence, right?" ”

"Hehe, it seems that the news between your scattered cultivators is indeed a bit closed, the so-called sphere of influence is just the product of mutual compromise between the major sects, and the monk war between the Principality of Yunze and the Principality of Yuandu has never really stopped."

Li Changyue and Murong Ling also felt more and more solemn about the situation that Ling Yu said, because although the Principality of Haide was small, it also bordered the Principality of Yunze, although it was separated from the sphere of influence of several other sects from the Fuyou Sect, but for the Principality of Haide, the Seven-Rank Sect was far from being able to compete with the existence.

"Isn't this Floating Shadow Sect trying to expand its sphere of influence?" Murong Ling was quite concerned about this, and asked with some concern, "The power of the Floating Shadow Sect is in the north of Yunze, and in the south of Yunze, there are several sects of Divine Fire, Spirit Sword, Yuan Yi, and Flying Star, how did they cross the sphere of influence of these sects?" ”

"Oh, you said that the forces of the southern sects, their strength is too weak, and the highest is only nine grades, I'm afraid this situation will be a problem for self-preservation!" Lu Xiaoyi heard Murong Ling's doubts, and his face was disapproving, "And you don't know, that Nine Rank Sect Yuan Yi Sect is actually a branch of the Floating Shadow Sect, and there are constant small moves in private, I heard that the Nine Rank Sect Divine Eagle Pavilion of the Nine Rank Sect of the Nine Forests Principality and some surrounding non-entry sects have been wooed!" ”

Li Changyue and the others looked at each other, they really didn't know these secrets, and they were also surprised to hear that the Floating Shadow Sect had such a big hand, but they didn't expect to expand their power to such a point in private.

"Oh yes, Miss Lu, this place should belong to the Principality of Haide, did you also take refuge in the Floating Shadow Sect?"

"There is only one Dingshan Sect in the small country of Haide, and it has long been secretly related to the Yuanyi Sect, in order to prevent them from completely occupying the Principality of Haide, my Xuanling Sect has already made a move, and now many families have decided to belong to us."

Li Changyue and the others took this opportunity to simply inquire about these things, and after listening to them, they looked helpless and emotional, this has been a troublesome thing for a long time, maybe the high-level family members have already taken refuge in Xuanling Sect, and have become one of the many subordinate forces of the family, and they are still trying to hide their identities here, and it is funny to think about it.

"It's useless to think too much, with my current strength, I can't participate in these things, but if I really have a chance, I can try to join the Xuanling Sect!" Li Changyue didn't feel too surprised that the Principality of Haide was completely divided, no matter which force it belonged to, it shouldn't have much impact on him, "But this Dingshan Sect actually colluded with the Yuanyi Sect, I hope that it is best not to break out a war between the two major forces on the side of Huoyang City, otherwise he will become cannon fodder with his own cultivation!" ”

But what Li Changyue didn't expect was that soon his worries became a reality, because the dispute between the two forces had spread to many corners.

More than half a month later, Li Changyue and Lu Xiaoyi and two Xuanling Sect disciples walked more than a thousand miles without danger, and when Li Changyue and the others were resting on a mountainside with a good scenery, they accidentally found a simple shielding formation.

Li Changyue and the others entered this Fang City relatively easily, and looked at this Fang Market about the size of a village with some surprise, there were no too prosperous attic buildings, but most of them were relatively new, and they walked along one of the streets for a while, feeling the prying eyes from all directions, including some Qi Refining Realm cultivators.

"Strange, what are the people in front of you doing together?"

"It's very lively, let's go over and have a look!" Ling Yu suggested with an excited look on his face.

Li Changyue and the others walked over, but what came into their eyes was two corpses with bloodless faces and frightened eyes that were carried out by several warriors in gray clothes and short clothes, and some people around were talking about it, as if they mentioned something strange and cursed to kill people and other information.

"Ah, it's been two dead bodies for a long time, and the death is still so ugly, it's really unlucky!" Ling Yu sighed disappointedly when he saw the scene in front of him.

"Brother Murong, there are no injuries on the two deceased, it seems that they have been subjected to a spiritual attack, I don't know what happened!" Deacon Du said to Murong Ling with a calm face.

"It should be a scattered market, but it's really a little weird here, we shouldn't have such a village or market in Luofeng!" Murong Ling's eyes narrowed slightly at this time, and he looked at the group of people in front of him, led by a slightly thin square-faced middle-aged man, "Maybe it's a black market!" ”

"You are foreign monks, I advise you to get out of here as soon as possible, this place has been attacked inexplicably, and everyone who has stayed here too long has suffered a curse!" A middle-aged monk with a square face who looked slightly thin explained to Murong Ling and the others with a warning tone.

"Cultivation in the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm!" Li Changyue secretly sensed the cultivation of the square-faced middle-aged man.

Murong Ling glanced at the other party, unintentionally released the cultivation at the peak of the Qi Realm, and then smiled and clenched his fists: "Under Murong Ling, this time I just brought people into the mountain to collect medicine, I don't know what Your Excellency says?" ”

"Well, in Xia Zhao Xuanli, he is the deacon in this city!" The middle-aged man with that face felt the power of Murong Ling's majestic Qi Cultivation Peak True Yuan, his face softened slightly, and he said politely, but he was obviously still very repulsive to everyone.

"Thank you Brother Zhao for your kindness, we won't stay here for too long, just rest for a day or two and we'll be on the road!" Murong Ling replied to the square-faced man in front of him who seemed to be in the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm, and seemed to agree to his request.

"Hey, no, aren't you just a casual cultivator gathering ......" Ye Xinghe disagreed with this monk's statement, and he opened his mouth to oppose it.

"Dare to ask Brother Zhao, there seems to be a trading place here, and it just so happens that we are also going into the mountains to collect medicines, hoping to buy some elixirs in the next two days, hoping to be accommodating!"

Seeing this, Li Changyue immediately interrupted Ye Xinghe's words, but instead changed the topic and found an excuse to buy elixir materials to cover up the past.

The square-faced middle-aged man stared at Li Changyue for a moment, and shook the robe on his body: "That's your business, you stay for two days at most, if you insist on staying here, don't blame me for not reminding you if something happens!" ”

The square-faced middle-aged man seemed unwilling to communicate more with Li Changyue and the others, so he snorted coldly and left, and Li Changyue and the others also felt a little strange about this Deacon Zhao's request, and even scared them with a curse, could it still be weird!

"Let's find an inn to stay in first, and by the way, ask for news!"

"Brother Murong, since something is wrong here, why should we leave, don't stay here!" Deacon Luo was a little worried, and he didn't want to take this risk again.

"No, we can't just leave this time, we'd better understand the situation and don't forget what we're doing!" Murong Ling glanced at Deacon Luo meaningfully.

Feeling that the middle-aged man with a square face had left far away, Murong Ling and the others came to the counter in a store: "We need a few first-class rooms, let's stay for two days first!" ”

"Well, we currently have a two-person guest room here, can you see a few people?"

"Then let's come to the four!"

"Tang Ping, go and arrange it for the guests!" A shopkeeper in his fifties and sixties in the inn casually greeted a guy in a short gray suit

Murong Ling and the others watched the guys in the store leave, and asked the shopkeeper in front of him with slightly gray temples: "Shopkeeper, we heard that many people died mysteriously in this market when we came to this market before, what is going on?" "The deacon Zhao who claimed to be in charge of Fang City just now said that there was a curse, is it true?"

When the shopkeeper heard Murong Ling ask this, he also looked outside with some fear, a little embarrassed: "This guest, there are indeed many people who have died in this city recently, but most of them are monks, as for the cause of death, it may be that there is a curse, I don't know the specifics!" "Deacon Zhao is one of the ten deacons under the two owners, so he knows better than us about the things in this city!"

Hearing that the shopkeeper didn't seem to know about the changes that had happened here, everyone simply stopped asking, Li Changyue looked at this fang market similar to the layout of the village, remembered something, and asked the shopkeeper about the origin of this square market.

"By the way, shopkeeper, we are also a casual cultivator who goes into the mountains to collect medicine, but we checked the map before we came in, and there was no fang market here before, right?"

"Oh, this Fang City was only established in the last nine years, we were also from a casual cultivation at that time, I heard that there were ruins in this mountain, and they all entered the Yungu Mountain Range, and then the ruins were not found, but they found this place, and several monks with higher cultivation led people to build this Fang City."

"Then these monks should be the owners or deacons here now, did this Deacon Zhao also come over at that time?"

"Well, this was naturally true at first, but now it doesn't seem to be, I haven't seen them a year or so ago, as for Deacon Zhao, it should be later!" "Do you want to find the owner of the house?"

After listening to the store's narration, Li Changyue smiled at the store: "Okay, let's just ask casually, in case there is any need, let's get acquainted!" ”

Murong Ling and the others saw that Li Changyue had asked so many questions about the origin of Fang City, and they also looked thoughtful, and they also wanted to know what Li Changyue had discovered, but they didn't rush to ask, but then came to the room and gathered together.

"Brother Li, did you find anything, why do you want to ask about the origin of this city?" Ling Yu couldn't help but ask at first.

"It's very simple, a fierce battle broke out in this city, it should have been not long ago!" Li Changyue picked up a cup of tea, checked it carefully, found that there was no problem, and told everyone what he had found.

"How are you sure?"

"How so!"

……

When Murong Ling and the others heard that Li Changyue actually said that the battle that broke out in this city not long ago, they all looked at Li Changyue in great surprise. Since they entered this Fang City, Shen Nian faintly felt that many monks looked at them very vigilantly, and after entering the Fang City, they happened to meet a monk who died inexplicably, which made them feel that something was wrong with this Fang City, but if there was a battle, they didn't expect it.

"I found that many of the buildings and even trees were temporarily renovated and planted, and the signs of destruction in some places were obvious, although they were well disguised!"
