Chapter Ninety-Nine: An Unexpected Encounter
This is a sweet escape, at least Mu Chen and Su Yun think so!
Except for Luo Tianyang, they cautiously shuttled through the mountains and forests along the way, and never dared to set foot on the official road again. Although the speed www.biquge.info of progress is slow, it is better to be safe.
Another few days passed, and they were getting closer and closer to Frost City. When they came to the top of a barren mountain, they saw the Wind and Frost City like a giant beast crawling among the mountains from a distance!
The mist outside the city is like a fairy tower, adding some mystery to this ancient city that has been built for an unknown number of years. It is rumored that the forces in this city are intricate, and there are no less than ten great forces similar to the Wuji Immortal Sect and the Demon Cloud Sect.
It was precisely because of this that the power of the Infinite Immortal Sect and the Demon Cloud Sect could not reach out to this place, making them relatively safe.
"Boom..."
Mu Chen and the others stood on the top of the mountain, bathing in the cool breeze that blew, but less than fifty miles outside the city of Wind and Frost City, a violent sound suddenly erupted, and a dark smoke came out from a distance, as if some great demon had descended into the world.
From the perspective of the barren mountain, the sudden black smoke looked like a huge demon's hand, as if a sleeping demon had been awakened and was slowly getting up.
Outside the Frost City, countless monks as small as ants swarmed out, all of them rushing towards the place filled with black smoke, some of them flying in the sky, some running on the ground, and the place where the dark smoke came out seemed to have a fatal attraction to them, making them like a swarm of moths rushing towards the flames!
Mu Chen and the others couldn't figure out the situation, and stared blankly at the scene in front of them. When the loud noise came out just now, they still felt the ground tremble, even though they were still far apart.
Looking at the appearance of those people, could it be that there is a treasure overflowing in the distance? Otherwise, how could so many people rush to that place?
"Let's go, let's go over and have a look!" Su Yun said softly to Mu Chen.
With so many people rushing over, there must be something to attract monks, and maybe there are any cultivation resources. Now that they are separated from the Infinite Immortal Sect and the Demon Cloud Sect, all the cultivation resources must be found by themselves, maybe this is a good opportunity!
"Hmm!" Mu Chen agreed, and rushed to that place with Su Yun. They weren't in a hurry, they were too far apart, and if they really spewed out any spirit stone elixir, they would have already been snatched up by the group of monks who went first, where would it be their turn!
The two of them quickly arrived at this place, and the figures around them were all bowing their heads and bending over, looking for something in every corner. Only Mu Chen and the others shuttled through the crowd and did not look for them.
The people around were busy with their own business, and they didn't notice the two new people joining the crowd. When they saw some of them, they immediately put them away when they found a black stone, and their faces showed a look of joy, and it was obviously this black stone that attracted them here.
A canyon no more than a hundred feet wide crosses this place, and there are relatively few people above the canyon, most of whom are busy looking for it under the canyon.
Standing on the cliff and looking down, tens of thousands of people are densely distributed in the canyon, very dense, and occasionally you can see a few places fighting, as if the black stone is very important to these people.
"Cousin, what is that stone, do you know?" Mu Chen had never seen that kind of stone, judging from the attitude of these people towards the stone, it must be very important, but he didn't know what the stone was for.
Su Yun shook his head suspiciously, and said, "I don't know, why don't we go down and look for some too, and ask others later!"
Mu Chen did not object, and jumped down this canyon that was not very deep with Su Yun. With so many people scrambling, what was easier to find had already become someone else's possession, and they didn't see a large number of black stones without owners anywhere.
Mu Chen found a small one when he came down, but before he could pick it up, he was preempted by the monk on the side.
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, it seemed that it was not easy to pick up one in this canyon, so they simply stopped looking at the ground, and turned their heads to look at the huge cave in the canyon that erupted with this black stone!
It was a large cave almost the same as the canyon, and it was so dark that it was impossible to see the inside. Everyone kept a distance of at least a kilometer from the big hole, as if it were a place that could never be set foot in, making it a vacuum.
There were many large and small black stones within a kilometer outside the entrance of the cave, but no one stepped into them to grab them, and it seemed that there was a fear of the unknown.
"Let's go over and have a look!" Mu Chen said to Su Yun in a low voice, and took the lead towards the entrance of the cave.
"Wait!" Su Yun took his hand, turned his head in the other direction, raised his chin, and said, "Look who that is!"
Not far from them, a man and a woman were surrounded by seven or eight uniformed men.
When they were above the cliff, Mu Chen and the others had seen several places where the black stones were snatched, and he was not surprised by this kind of thing.
And those two people were surrounded by seven or eight people, if they didn't pay attention, they couldn't see their faces clearly, so Mu Chen never paid attention.
When he followed Su Yun's line of sight to see the woman who was surrounded, Mu Chen showed a look of surprise. He didn't expect to meet Liu Ruyan here.
The man beside Liu Ruyan was very unfamiliar to him, and he had never seen it before. As far as Mu Chen knew, Liu Ruyan had been living in the Wuji Immortal Sect, and it stands to reason that she had no friends outside, and the man next to her was very likely to have befriended after leaving the Wuji Immortal Sect!
The strange man stood in front of Liu Ruyan, staring at the few people in front of him with great fear, he took out a lot of black stones from a dilapidated Qiankun bag, but when these people took the stones, they still did not leave.
"Yan Kun, get out of the way as soon as possible, this is our business with Liu Ruyan, and it has nothing to do with you!" The seven or eight people had obviously lost their patience, but they were not in a hurry to make a move, they just shouted unhappily to the man who was standing in front of Liu Ruyan.
When Mu Chen and the others approached, they carefully glanced at these eight people, the highest cultivation among them was only the sixth layer of Qi Gathering, which was not a group of people, even in this canyon, there were many people who cultivated higher than them.
And the man who stood in front of Liu Ruyan had obviously gathered seven layers of energy, if he really fought, he might not lose to these eight people, perhaps it was because of this that those eight people were a little jealous.
"Brother Qingmen, do we have something to say, even if there is something that offends you, I am here to accompany you, those black rock mines just now should be regarded as making amends to you!" Yan Kun's posture was very low, as if he was afraid of these people in front of him, and begged in a low voice.
On the contrary, Liu Ruyan did not speak coldly behind Yan Kun's back, and from her eyes, she could clearly see her anger, but she did not vent it.
"Joke...
One of them was about to fight with Yan Kun for a while, but Mu Chen quickly appeared, grabbed the collar behind the person who spoke from behind, and suddenly raised it back, without looking at it, but smiled at the stunned Liu Ruyan: "Senior sister, it's been a long time!"
"Why are you here?" Liu Ruyan looked at Mu Chen and Su Yun and asked in surprise.
Su Yun has always been at odds with Liu Ruyan, even if she hasn't seen her for a long time, she still didn't give her a good face as usual, but looked at the other seven people coldly, and said, "Get out!"
As she spoke, her breath was released, and the cultivation of the Foundation Building Realm was completely released by her in an instant, and even the few people who were originally close to here retreated one after another.
The remaining seven people were even more frightened, the ones who could come here were basically monks from the Qi Gathering Realm, although these black cloud mines had some value, but they couldn't enter the eyes of the foundation building monks, they didn't know how there would be foundation building monks also coming here!
The world of monks is highly hierarchical, they are just the outer disciples of the Qingmen, if they are killed by ordinary casual cultivators, maybe someone will help them avenge them because of face, but if the foundation building monk kills them, I am afraid that no one will be willing to offend a foundation building monk for the sake of a group of dead people.
When they felt the foundation building aura emanating from Su Yun's body, the faces of the remaining seven people changed suddenly, and they quickly fled from this place with their tails between their legs!
