Walking through the forest, a huge city appeared in front of Li Zhe's eyes.

The ruins of a huge city, to be exact.

Looking at the ruins, the scale of this giant city is similar to that of Zhongjing City, and I am afraid that the population of the city will not be less than one million back then, and it is definitely a prosperous capital.

Unfortunately, the thick walls have completely collapsed and weathered into sand.

Not a single building in the entire city has survived, leaving only the ruins of the city.

Li Zhe can only guess how magnificent the building was from the scale of the sand mound.

Canghai Sangtian, all forces seem so powerless in the face of time.

Walking on the middle avenue of the giant city, Li Zhe noticed that in the sand mounds on both sides of the road, one or two pieces of Bai Sensen's bones appeared from time to time.

More than 100,000 years later, the white bones that have not yet completely decayed are obviously not mortals.

It seems that this mortal city was not defenseless back then, but it was just turned into powder in front of the overwhelming power of the demons.

There would definitely not be anything Li Zhe wanted in the mortal city, and he didn't stop much and walked through the city.

An hour later, the brother and sister also tracked down to the city, and the distance between the two sides narrowed.

The woman sniffled, sniffed the air, checked the marks on the ground, and said, "Brother, this person has been gone for less than an hour. We've shortened the distance to him, and at this rate we should be able to catch up with him before we reach Yuding Mountain. ”

When the man heard this, he kept his brows tightly knit and meditated.

"Sister. It seems that my fears are right, this man is not a blind person, and he should have a map in his hand. Judging by the route he walked, it was one of the safest routes to Yuding Mountain, and I don't believe it could be a coincidence. If we want to dominate this island as our home, we must get rid of him. After a moment, the man broke the silence and spoke sharply.

"He also has a map, it can't be. The woman was a little skeptical.

"Nothing is impossible. We can find maps in ancient records, and others may find them as well. Let's hurry up and catch up to see who he is, and then decide what to do with him. ”

Li Zhe didn't know the road, and the location of those invisible spatial cracks was completely dependent on Dugu Aotian to warn him.

Therefore, he didn't dare to rush with all his might, lest he not be able to dodge the sudden spatial rift.

Along the way, passing by the ruins of four more cities, Li Zhe couldn't help but ask: "In ancient times, how many such cities were there on the island, and how many mortals lived on the island?"

"There are probably more than 100 cities, with an estimated population of more than 100 million. These mortals are all the descendants of the monks of the Jade Ding Sect, and those who do not have spiritual roots are put into the mortal city to live, and the accumulation of countless years has formed a huge scale. ”

"The battle on the island is so fierce, just the aftermath of the release can kill all mortals. It's really a fight between immortals, and mortals suffer. Did they all die in the aftermath of the Great War?"

"How could they have such good luck that they would all die before the big war. ”

"Why is that?"

"When the demons attacked, the monks of Yuding Mountain were powerless to protect these mortals. On the one hand, he could only ask for help from the Holy City, and on the other hand, he ordered all the monks to retreat to Yuding Mountain, relying on their mountain protection array, the 'Nine Sons Chain Sumeru Great Array', to hold on and wait for help. The Nine Sons Serial Sumeru Great Array is also a very highly-ranked defensive array in the ancient cultivation realm. Originally, there was no problem for the Yuding Gate to rely on this formation to stick to the Holy City to help. Unexpectedly, the demons used an extremely bloody and cruel method to break through the large array in one fell swoop. ”

"What's the way? Say it, let the kid open his eyes. ”

"Break the formation. The demons laid down a huge blood sacrifice array. After sacrificing the essence blood of hundreds of millions of mortals on the island, this large array exerted an incredibly powerful power, conjuring up a huge blood axe and slashing at the Nine Sons Chain Sumeru Great Array. With just one axe, the nine-layer protection of the Nine Sons Serial Sumeru Great Array was broken like paper paste. Without the protection of the great array, the Yuding Gate could not compete with the demon army, and could only retreat to the top of the mountain. By the time we arrived, we were powerless. After several major battles, the whole island was lost, and we had to retreat. ”

"Blood has sacrificed hundreds of millions of human beings, and the demons are too cruel to treat us as human beings. Li Zhe roared angrily.

"You're right, in their eyes, we humans are food, resources, not people. When we humans encounter demons, there is no choice but to fight to the death. ”

As he spoke, Li Zhe walked through the ruins of the city and came to the foot of Yuding Mountain.

Li Zhe had just left, and a petite figure emerged from the ruins, which was the woman who had been chasing after Li Zhe.

It seems that she has a very good way of concealing her breath, and Li Zhe didn't find her.

Even Dugu Aotian didn't notice her.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the two of them didn't expect that there would be someone else here at all, so they relaxed their vigilance.

Soon, Yin Gang ran to meet her.

"Sister, do you see who he is?"

"It's really a narrow road, it's actually a monk of Yunmeng Sect, and the realm is the same as us in the early stage of the spirit seed. However, in terms of cultivation, he is not as good as me, and he should have only advanced to the spiritual seed stage for about two or three years. ”

"Can you be sure if he is an ordinary disciple of the Yunmeng Sect, or is he an elite disciple at home that we have paid special attention to?"

"Judging by Gen Chu's appearance and cultivation, it should be the Li Zhe who has been in the limelight recently. ”

The man sneered, "It's the legendary Li Zhe who fought alone against three second-order peak puppet beasts. Such a big man actually let us run into it. ”

"Don't joke, that's just a public rumor, and it's not true. However, our insiders have a very high evaluation of him, and he has a lot of magical powers, and his will and courage are also the best choices, so we can't be careless. ”

"Well, let's take a shortcut and go ahead of him. It was up to me to suddenly appear in front of him and attract his attention. In this hellish place, when I suddenly see a living person, I don't believe that his mind will not be lost. You seized the opportunity to assassinate him and take him out. If he fails, the two of us will fight him together, and we will win. ”

"Okay, let's do it. ”

After saying that, the two changed directions and galloped away.

Finally, when he came to the foot of Yuding Mountain, Li Zhe looked up.

Although the mountain was full of clouds and mist, it couldn't stop Li Zhe's purple eyes.

From below, Yuding Mountain looks like a huge step, extending upwards step by step.

Li Zhe tried to count it, there were as many as nine steps, and the top step didn't know what was blocking it, he couldn't see it clearly.

"Senior, where should we go to find Danfang. ”

"Yuding Mountain is a crater with nine floors. The first to third floors are for the outer disciples, the elders of the Keqing to live. The names of these people sound good, but in fact, they are doing miscellaneous errands for Yudingmen, exchanging labor for some pills, and they are basically subordinates. These people don't know the Dan Dao, and their cave will definitely not have what we are looking for. Our main target is the cave mansion on the fourth to sixth floors, and these floors are inhabited by low-level disciples of the Yuding Sect Yuan Infant Stage and below. Their cultivation is too low, the demons can't look down on it at all, maybe there will be the Danfang we need left. As for the seventh or eighth floor, it is too close to the battlefield of the Great War, so that the space is completely chaotic, and with your cultivation it is just to die. ”

"Senior, didn't you say that there are nine floors in total. If there are any secrets on the ninth floor, you won't even mention them. Li Zhe's curiosity has never weakened, and he has to figure out everything before he can rest assured.

"The ninth floor is no longer here. After the Great War, this place became a place of death, and the demons did not want to stay here. However, the ninth layer is not only where the Dao system of the Yuding Gate is located, but also the highest level of the Yuding Gate's medicine garden, which contains countless immortal medicines, and it is extremely risky to transplant them. In the end, the Demon Ancestors simply used their great magical powers to cut off the ninth-layer mountain and move it away as a whole. ”

So it was, Li Zhe was disappointed for a while, and he originally wanted to go to the top to see if there were any fish that slipped through the net.

"Li boy, the density of the spatial crack on the mountain is not higher than that under the mountain, and it is more than ten times more dangerous, especially above the fourth floor. You have to be extra careful. Without my fingers, you can't move a single step. In case you fall into the interface void, the old man will be fine, and you will die. ”

Before going up the mountain, Dugu Aotian once again emphasized the danger of the mountain. He was also very uneasy about Li Zhe's overzealous curiosity.

"Got it. Seniors, please rest assured. I haven't avenged my father's murder yet, so I won't take the risk easily. ”

"It's too dangerous to fly here, so it's safer for us to walk the stone stairs. ”

After circling around the foot of the mountain for a long time, a stone staircase appeared in front of Li Zhe.

The width of this stone staircase is more than ten miles, and the height is even more endless, and the scale can only be described as huge.

Now, there was no time to admire the builder's ingenuity, Li Zhe collected his mood, quickly climbed the stone staircase, and ran up.

Limited by too many cracks in the space, Li Zhe didn't dare to use the fire escape technique to hurry, but if he walked slowly, the speed was too slow, so he could only try his best to run fast on the stone ladder.

During the run, Dugu Aotian kept pointing at Li Zhe: "four steps to the left" and "two steps to the right"......

After receiving the finger, Li Zhe moved left or right as he said, adjusting the direction of progress.

Practice makes perfect, and after a long time, the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit, and Li Zhe gradually increased his running speed.

Even so, it would take at least four or five days to complete the first step.

Fortunately, Li Zhe's comprehension and reaction are outstanding, plus he is bold.

After trying it a few times, I was finally able to use the fire escape technique to move forward under the guidance of Dugu Aotian.

As a result, the speed of progress has been accelerated several times.

"Senior, don't keep it a secret, just tell me the route. Save you a little bit of guidance, you trouble me too, and the speed is slowed down a lot. ”

"These routes are what I remembered when I sneaked back to the island to reconnoitre, and there was so much information. With the old man's current state, he can't copy it into a jade slip for you, so it's so troublesome. ”

I had no choice but to bury my head.
