Chapter 515: The Beginning of Emergence
Golden Leaf Town was already close to the deep mountains and old forests, and Ni Xiaoyan recorded a few required materials in the jade slip for the cultivators in the town to collect, and it would be best if he could have enough materials before the evil people found out that this place had been captured.
On the other hand, he had to deal with Liu Jin and Tian's affairs, and in his room, he looked at the excited and slightly uneasy two.
"I want to know where you have come now, and what the evil people are doing. Ni Xiaoyan asked straight to the point.
The answer was Tian, who knew more than Liu Jin.
"In the past few years, the evil people have been pressing forward step by step, and it can be seen that there is something big to be released, and many of our companions have been framed and died. Speaking of this, Tian clenched his fists, "Therefore, the scope of our activities is getting narrower and narrower, many organizations have been eliminated, and we have to resist in the near future, if we haven't won this time, we will really fall into the bottomless abyss." β
"What about Heigu?" asked Ni Xiaoyan.
Tian shook his head directly: "I don't know, in fact, few people in the Ghost Valley know, but there are some rumors that we don't have any Ghost Valley land at all, everything is made up." β
"Actually?"
"In fact, our leader hasn't been around for a long time, because he's the only one who knows the whereabouts of Ghost Valley. β
Ni Xiaoyan became puzzled: "Since your leader didn't appear, why did you rush out and attack the evil man, isn't it easy to expose yourself?"
"We thought so at first, but the people above couldn't wait, they thought that the leader must have been captured by the wicked, so they launched raids in every city, and attacked their proctors to find out the whereabouts of the leader. β
Ni Xiaoyan thought about it and felt that this matter was not simple, and the above reasons were also perfunctory, but it made things more and more complicated, and it seemed that only people who came into contact with higher levels would understand their intentions.
Bringing the problem back to the current matter, from Tian's analysis, Ni Xiaoxiang understood that in the big city not far next door, that is, the city of black fog, the companions stationed there were very likely to be captured, because there was no one in the trap that had been laid before, which had to make her suspicious.
Ni Xiaoyan also had suspicions, but he thought more, it was very likely that it was a betrayal by the cultivator, that is, an insider of the Heavenly Awakening Society. Otherwise, no one would have made such a dangerous mission, and the first thing to do is not to stabilize the overall situation, and then find a way to find it, not to alarm the evil man, and this time the evil man should have known about the disappearance of the leader of the Heavenly Awakening Society, but he seemed very calm.
So does this prove that the Heavenly Awakening Society has always been under the control of the evil man, but Jin Ye Zhen caused the accident because of the appearance of Ni Xiaoyan, well, if you really want to confirm this, you need to ask the imprisoned evil man.
Fortunately, Ni Xiaoyan left a few evil people that day, and instead of killing them, they were locked in a dark room, and it has been five days now, so he should go and see them.
The dark room was sealed by the rune array, and there were also many cultivators outside, so it was impossible for outsiders to sneak in quietly.
Trapped inside is the leader of Golden Leaf Town, who has the strength of the Condensation Period, but in front of Ni Xiaoyan, he is like a three-year-old child, who is easily defeated.
When he opened the dark room, Ni Xiaoyan saw the evil man lying on the cold floor, huddled in the corner and shivering, and anyone who was trapped alone in this dark little dark room would be mentally broken.
The wicked man covered the sun with his hands, and with a shock all over his body, he fell to the ground, almost crying and pleading: "My lord, my lord, please kill me, kill me......"
Well, five days is enough to put him on the verge of collapse, Ni Xiaoyan thought to himself, this method was what Wei Wei once taught him, although Ni Xiaoyan is not a bad person, but against the enemy, especially the evil person, at least this ruthlessness is still there.
In saving those trapped cultivators, he had seen with his own eyes that the fate of many cultivators was more terrifying and ruthless than him, and although some were rescued, they were also useless.
"You only tell me one thing, are you all set up for the Heavenly Awakening Society?" asked Ni Xiaoyan.
"Yes, yes...... All of them were made by the Lord of Black Mist City, and he only asked us to guard our Golden Leaf Town. The evil man hurriedly said, what Ni Xiao regretted the next moment.
Five days of torture in exchange for this answer, Ni Xiaoyan nodded, turned around and left the black room, as soon as he stepped out of the door, a flame wrapped the evil man's whole body, and turned into ashes in an instant.
Back in the hall, Ni Xiaoyan said the answer he had just gotten, in fact, it almost proved that all this was a conspiracy, Tian became anxious, and said: "My lord, then we have to rescue them all quickly, Tianxing will be wiped out, then those people will not escape the fate of torture and death." β
Next, it is indeed to come up with a plan as soon as possible and enter the city of black fog to save those captured cultivators, but before that, Ni Xiaoxiang sent some ordinary cultivators to enter the city of black fog, and these people flexibly responded to each other in and out of the city, and Ni Xiaoxiang gave them talisman arrays that could avoid the evil qi.
On the third day after those people left, a lot of materials requested by Ni Xiaoyan were collected, fortunately, in the world of the evil clan, these materials are only growing slowly, and there are many materials that are difficult to see in the outside world, and they can be seen everywhere in the deep mountains here, but the quality is not high.
It took a little time, Ni Xiaoyan arranged the Spirit Gathering Rune Array, which could only accommodate thousands of cultivators for the time being, Ni Xiaoxiang carefully selected some cultivators, these were all people rescued from the cage of the evil clan, most of them were extremely talented, and put them together.
Fortunately, they all secretly cultivated the mental method left by the original Fu King Ding Kui, and their cultivation was even faster, Ni Xiaoyan was even more sure, if they excluded the influence of the evil qi around them, so as to absorb a lot of spiritual energy, these people's cultivation would get twice the result with half the effort, but this was still too slow for him.
Well, it is necessary to use spirit stones to cultivate, but are there still spirit stones in the evil world? This is a problem, but he did not give up, but asked many cultivators to carefully search for places with strong spiritual energy in various places in Golden Leaf Town, and there should be a lot of spiritual mines in the ground of these places.
On the second day, a cultivator came in and reported that he had found a place with strong spiritual energy, which happened to be in a valley not far from Jinye Town. With a worried heart, Ni Xiaoyan walked over, the valley here is not too big, if it weren't for the abundant spiritual power, others would not notice this.
Ni Xiaoyan walked slowly, expanding his divine consciousness with all his might, infiltrating into the surroundings and the underground, after a while, the joy gradually increased, he found that the reason why the aura here is abundant is mostly because the aura seeps out of the ground, without hesitation, Ni Xiaoyan asked people to dig to a low-lying place, ten meters deep and still found nothing.
Strange, is it a deeper place? Ni Xiaoyan still did not give up, and even stayed around, did not leave, and spent an hour and a half like this, and the people below sent a message, and at a depth of twenty meters, he sensed that there seemed to be a dark river flowing below.
It turned out to be a dark river, Ni Xiaoyan felt incredible, let the cultivator continue to dig down, less than half an hour, he touched a huge rock quickly, when he knocked it open, just exposed a big hole, just saw a river passing, on the bank of the dark river, a wide karst cave appeared, and a strong aura rushed to his face, the feeling of being lost for a long time made Ni Xiaoyan couldn't help but feel refreshed.
In the excitement, Ni Xiaoyan jumped down, just entered the flat ground, and looked around, on the stone wall of the cave was a crystal pure, unpolished spirit stone.
This...... Even Ni Xiaoyan, who is usually accustomed to seeing all kinds of spiritual veins, didn't expect that it would be so easy and find a spiritual vein with such high purity.
Even if it is knocked down at will, it is equivalent to hundreds of second-level spirit stones, placed outside, which can cause a battle between sects, and in the cave, the empty flat land can accommodate thousands of people, this is simply a natural spirit gathering rune array, Ni Xiaoxiang was surprised, let Liu Jin take care of it, on the one hand, let the cultivators come down and collect according to his requirements, on the other hand, let many cultivators who urgently need to break through the cultivation enter the inside to practice.
It seems that everything is going very well, Ni Xiaoyan received a message from the cultivators who went to the Black Mist City the next day, there were indeed cultivators who attacked the existence of evil people that day, but, according to the understanding of the people in the city, those attackers escaped a lot, and the captured cultivators committed suicide one by one, leaving no chance for those evil people at all.
The reason why those evil people didn't come to Jinye Town was because they went out to hunt down those cultivators.
"Where do you think they will flee to?" asked Ni Xiaoyan curiously.
"Now there are the eyes and ears of evil people everywhere, and the major cities and towns can't go, and the places where they fled are only in the deep forests, but there are deep forests everywhere, how can they know that they are going to the mountains and valleys?" Tian could only say helplessly, even though he was anxious.
He remembered that Wei Wei once said that everything is based on evidence and can be judged, so Ni Xiaoyan did not give up, he asked Liu Jin to take the map and look at it.
The city of black fog is in the north of Jinye Town, separated by a long deep forest, if you want to go to the city of black fog, you have to enter the deep forest, but this road has long been established by various evil people, even if there are demon beasts, they will not run on the road, looking at the direction of those cultivators fleeing, according to the report of the city of black fog, those who want to cultivate are fleeing to the west, not the north, because further north is the place where there are many towns, and escaping there is like entering a big net, and there is almost no hope of escaping from the heavens, while the west is a vast mountain range, there are very few towns, and demon beasts are rampant, although it is dangerous, but the probability of escape is greaterγ
"Well, I don't think it's possible for them to keep running west. Tian said suddenly, Ni Xiaoyan couldn't help asking, "Is there any basis?"
"If the direction in which they fled is indeed here, I can judge that they will never go west, for I have been here, and I have traveled with many companions, and in order to avoid the investigation of the wicked, I had to avoid the south, and instead walk westward, about a hundred miles away, and further south, where I remember that there was a river, as long as it went south, and we reached ...... It was the town of Golden Leaf. β
It's really dramatic, Ni Xiaoyan continued to ask, how long will it take you to get here?
"A month and a half!" The monsters are rampant there, and we have to slow down if we want to be safe, but now that there are some people behind them who are chasing and killing, and with the familiar route, it will be faster this time, and it will probably take a month to get here.
"Then are you sure that they must come to my Golden Leaf Town in a month?"
"I'm not sure, it's impossible to stay in the Western jungle all the time. β
Ni Xiaoyan was puzzled: "Why?"
"In the jungle, you can avoid the evil people, but everyone knows that there is something very terrible there, more terrible than the evil people. Speaking of this, Tian couldn't help but shudder, "It's a kind of demon beast that lives in groups, very small and very small, a single demon beast is like the size of an ant, but they are hidden in the dark, sometimes when you are not paying attention, a bite can be painful for several days, sometimes a group of attacks, there can be tens of thousands, like a gray flood that bursts the embankment, can swallow people in an instant, and these demon beasts, the most favorite food is cultivators and evil people, so in the western jungle, you rarely see towns." β
There is still this kind of demon beast, Ni Xiaoyan sighed with emotion, Tian continued: "If they want to survive, they have to go south along the river, on the one hand, to get out of there, on the other hand, to avoid those terrible ant monsters, and after arriving in Jinye Town, they will go to the east, reach the realm of the sea, and take a flying boat to reach the inaccessible island." It's a place that few people set foot in, but that doesn't mean they can't go there, it's just that they don't make an easy decision, and many people will say that Ghost Valley is an island. β
This is a very interesting discovery, Ni Xiaoxiang thought to himself, the other party seems to know that Ni Xiaoxiang will be very interested in this matter, Tian continued: "It's not a secret, evil people have always lived in evil spirits, and overseas islands generally blow all year round, so evil spirits can't stay all year round, and those evil people are too dependent on evil spirits to live there, so they generally can't easily run there." β
Ni Xiaoyan suddenly understood, it was like a cultivator would not easily run to the extremely cold realm, because there were perennial storms, and the aura was thin, and after a long stay, the cultivation would not rise but would drop a lot.
About ten days had passed since what had happened, and there were still twenty days left before a month, and Ni Xiaoyan had made a plan that day when he guessed that the evil man had been chasing and killing those cultivators.
And this plan is also the beginning of Ni Xiaoyan's emergence in the evil world.
