Volume 1: Forsaken Land Chapter 145: Demon Remnants
In the west of the imperial capital, near the edge of the Xieyang Mountain Range, the only giant mountain range in the imperial capital, there is a small town called Lin Xuan Town.
Lin Xuan Town is no different from ordinary secular villages and towns, there are about 200 families in the whole town, and most of them are surnamed Lin, counting up to three generations, and they can basically get close to each other. Due to its proximity to the Xieyang Mountains, most of the people here have lived by hunting for generations, exchanging these hunted beasts for some living needs with merchants outside the town, and their lives are basically self-sufficient, and their lives are rich.
However, just a hundred years ago, when a child named Lin Xuan in the town was fetching water in his own well, he inadvertently fished out several shiny stones, which brought earth-shaking changes to the whole town.
It's just that at this moment, Lin Xuanzhen is shrouded in countless colorful formations, and some cultivators in the Qi refining period come and go, or control the spirit soldiers to fly away in the void, or in order to save spiritual power, they use the unique wildebeest of the immortal cultivation world to travel, going back and forth between the various formations, transporting some materials and materials. In the void, the rich gray aura was overwhelming, but under these gray aura, the entire Lin Xuanzhen was shrouded in extremely rich aura, and with the blessing of the formation, these aura escaping from the ore veins would not escape.
After another three days, Kong Lao three or four people arrived here, at this moment, the aura of the four of them was a little messy, along the way, they met many demonic cultivators in the imperial capital, as for the rumored local remnants who escaped from the small demon domain, they had never seen one.
These cultivators have completely lost their minds and become bloodthirsty and brutal, seeing Kong Lao three or four people flying away in the void, they don't want to attack like demon beasts, but most of these demonized cultivators who have lost their minds are in the stage of refining qi, and they are not much of a threat to the three of them, but the consumption of spiritual power along the way makes the faces of the three people look a little prostration, and it is not until they come here that the four of them are completely relieved.
With the arrival of the four of them, the cultivators who were originally in order suddenly scattered, and they all took out their spiritual weapons to guard, staring at Kong Laosan and the others with their eyes.
Seeing this, Kong Laosan frowned slightly, but he could understand the caution of these people, and he did not hesitate, turned his palm over, and took out a milky white jade slip, which was left by the old man of the Imperial Spirit Sect, which not only recorded the location of this place, but also clearly indicated the identity of Kong Laosan and others.
Sure enough, just after Kong Laosan threw the jade slip, the people below were obviously relieved, but they were not completely relaxed, and one of the bearded men took the jade slip, did not dare to slack off, and rushed towards a simple attic in the town with it in his arms.
Not long after, there was a flash of inspiration in the attic, and five or six figures flew out of it, rushing here, judging from the breath that escaped from the body, these people are all the strength of the foundation building period, one of the short-bearded old men is the strongest, has reached the peak of foundation building, and seems to be only one step away from being able to break through the knot, but what is strange is that the few people in front of them are obviously not headed by the strongest old man, but a young man in front of him who looks like he is only about twenty years old.
The young man was dressed in a military uniform, with a bun on his head, and he was dressed a little nondescript, but his appearance was quite handsome, and he had reached the early stage of foundation building, and the three cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building around him faintly guarded the young man, and it was obvious that the identity of the young man in front of him was extraordinary.
At this moment, the young man was holding the milky white jade slip in his hand, and looked in the direction of Kong Lao and the three or four with an arrogant face.
"You are the helpers sent by those sects?"
The young man said lightly, his voice was neither lukewarm nor hot, faintly revealing a hint of arrogance.
Hearing this, Chang Fei frowned, and was about to say something, Kong Laosan's voice had already sounded, "That's right, we are from the five major sects, and we have been ordered to come here to garrison! I don't know if Your Excellency is ......."
"Hmph, I am one of the three clans of the imperial capital, the grandson of the three contemporary elders of the Jin family, Jin Rui, since you are here, stay here temporarily, if necessary, I will send someone to inform you!"
The young man said, throwing it gently, the jade slip returned to Kong Laosan's hands, turned around and left without looking back, and the people behind him followed closely, but when he left, the strongest old man looked in the direction of Kong Laosan and the others, especially Kong Laosan stopped for a moment, and a few thoughts flashed in his eyes.
The young man and the others had just left, and the large array below slowly dimmed, and in the center, a circular passage extended from it.
As soon as they entered, a strong spiritual power came to the surface, and the three of them were stunned for a moment, revealing a look of surprise, and the bearded man immediately greeted him with great respect, and carefully led Kong Laosan and the others towards a bamboo building not far away.
In this way, Kong Laosan and the others temporarily lived here, and with the worship of twenty spirit stones every month, they lived a leisurely life. For being excluded by young people and others, Kong Laosan didn't care about it, and even had some expectations in his heart, if he could continue to cultivate like this and improve his strength, it would also be a good attention, but obviously, things were not as he thought.
One night more than ten days later, Kong Laosan and the others were meditating in their residence, when suddenly a rapid bell rang, and the entire Lin Xuanzhen suddenly became loud, and countless Qi cultivators flew out from their residences to control the spirit soldiers, surging towards the formation, and even Kong Laosan and the others were also alarmed, but Kong Laosan frowned, still ignored it, and continued to close his eyes and cross his knees.
The four of them were in an attic, and they noticed that Kong Laosan did not move at all, and the other three did not know what to think, so they all held back. After a while, the three of them noticed that the spiritual power in the air around them was extremely disordered, and there was a faint sound of fighting and roaring.
These changes had no effect on the three of them, and they still meditated as usual, seemingly ignoring the outside world at all, but the three people in the other room were not as calm as Kong Laosan, and their eyes looked out of the window from time to time, as if they could look into the distance through the prohibition outside the house.
After about a cup of tea, with a violent bang, the whole earth trembled violently, even Kong Laosan and others felt it clearly, just after this loud noise, not long after, a man with a pale face covered in blood came to the bamboo building.
"Four seniors, on the order of Jin Gongzi, I came to ask the four seniors to help!"
The man said loudly, after a while, seeing that the bamboo building had no reaction, he couldn't help frowning, thought about it, took out a transmission note from his arms, chanted a few words gently, and raised it casually, the rune paper was windless and natural, turning into a ball of fire and flying towards the bamboo building.
After another moment, seeing that Zhulou still had no reaction, he couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, and then prepared to leave, but before he turned around, the formation fluctuations around Zhulou fluctuated slightly, and Kong Laosan and others appeared in front of him.
"Let's go!"
Kong Laosan said softly, without looking at the man, without any expression on his face, his figure flashed, and he flew away towards the most frantic place of spiritual power in the distance, and the three people behind him followed closely.
After a while, the three of them floated silently in the void, and everything in front of them was really unexpected.
Outside of the formation, the cultivators on both sides fought desperately, mixed with many demon beasts affected by the demonic energy, one of them was full of demonic energy, his eyes were slightly red, and he seemed to be devoured by the demonic energy, and his shots were chaotic, but they were extremely powerful, and they tried their best with every blow;
In addition to these disciples of the Qi refining period, above the void, there are three battle groups, even the strongest old man at the peak of foundation building is also among them, all kinds of spells and spirit soldiers are trying their best to exert them, the old man is also a human-looking cultivator with a single face, but the cultivator in front of him looks more weird, the demonic energy around his body is great, his eyes are like black crystals, his back has wings, and the back of his two palms is covered with scales, it seems that he is not a human, and there is a palm-sized black disc in front of him, which is on par with the old man opposite.
The other two battle groups are almost the same, one of them is a human cultivator, and the other is a cultivator who has been transformed by the remnants of the demon realm who are covered in demonic energy, and both sides are in the early stage of foundation building, and the fight is in full swing.
Compared to human cultivators, the remnant spirits of the Demon Domain have different appearances, and they seem to be somewhat similar to some traces on the body of demon beasts, each is different, but it is still a human cultivator in its body, but the spiritual power of the vomit is different.
Except for these remnants of the Demon Domain who escaped from those broken small Demon Domains, most of the rest are demonized Imperial Capital cultivators, and in normal times, it is not difficult to protect a mineral vein with the protection of the formation, but the situation seems to be different now.
Above the void, in addition to these cultivators on both sides who were fighting in full swing, behind the Demon Domain cultivator camp, there were dozens of demonized cultivators holding small flags, as if they were arranging some formation, and with the arrangement of these people, the originally hazy gray aura of the surrounding void suddenly slowly condensed, converging towards the formation, but in the time of a stick of incense, these gathered gray aura had turned black, and the rich demonic qi was drumming in the formation, looking extremely violent.
Just as these black demonic qi gathered, the young man surrounded by seven or eight people in the square not far away frowned, revealing an extremely dignified look, and with a flip of his palm, he took out an antique jade pendant.
The jade pendant in front of him is about half the size of a palm, round on the outside and square on the inside, like a copper coin, it looks extremely ancient, and there are many strange runes densely carved around it, which is extremely mysterious.
The jade pendant was sacrificed, the young man's lips moved, and he whispered something to the jade pendant, and then raised his hand, and the jade pendant flashed around the body, and flew out of the formation without any hindrance, and with a slight swing, the spiritual power around the ancient jade was great, turning into an ancient jade phantom about ten zhang in size, facing the demonized remnant spirit that inspired the formation in the distance.
The next moment, Kong Laosan and the others shrank their pupils, and in the formation, the demonic qi surged down, converging into a black pillar of light, and blasted towards the formation, while the young man was solemn, relying on the aura in the entire Lin Xuan Town to control the ancient jade phantom, and resist the blow from the opposite side.
The moment the two came into contact, a violent explosion startled, and the violent qi wave spread around, and some cultivators who were closer were directly torn to pieces by this qi wave, and everyone in the formation obviously felt that the entire earth shook violently, as if the entire Lin Xuan Town was about to collapse.
After the blow, the young man's face turned extremely pale, and two fierce colors flashed in his eyes.
"Kill me!"
With an order, several foundation building cultivators beside him did not hesitate and flew towards the outside of the formation.
Kong Laosan's brows furrowed, his gaze swept outside the formation, thought about it, and also flew up. Seeing Kong Laosan make a move, the other three all glanced at each other in surprise, and without the slightest hesitation, they went towards the formation to fight.
