Chapter 110: Bloody Qi
A month later, Xiao Yu led the tens of millions of troops of the demon clan back to the Ten Thousand Demon Heaven, and the demon clan celebrated. Xiao Yu was warmly embraced by the people of the demon clan. The demon clan advocates strength and worships the strong. Xiao Yu saved the demon clan, avoided the civil war, and preserved his strength for the demon clan, and was a well-deserved hero of the demon clan.
Linglong personally put on the Heroic Medal for Xiao Yu in front of all the people of the demon clan in the Divine Cemetery. and named Xiao Yu as the lifelong honorary protector general of the demon clan and the eternal friend of the demon clan.
After staying in the Ten Thousand Demon Heaven for three months, Xiao Yu said goodbye to Linglong and the generals of the demon clan and headed west again. As for the Caifeng on the Holy Snow Mountain, it is still in a state of retreat and nirvana, and it will not wake up for a while, and the beard of the Divine Cemetery has also seized the rare opportunity to step up its retreat and cultivation. Xiao Yu went on the road alone, happy and clean.
All the way to the west, after passing the Broken Soul Slope and walking for about half a month, Xiao Yu gradually walked out of the desolate forest. Ahead of you, there is a vast Gobi Desert.
Endless desolation filled Xiao Yu's vision, and there was no sign of life wherever he passed. It's like a dead place. Occasionally, you can see the white bones of Sensen, and you can't tell if it's a human or a demon beast.
After walking for another three days, a sparse figure appeared faintly in front of him. It looks like a bazaar. The bazaar is not big, only a few shops dotted around, and a yellowed flag floats out of a tube building on the westernmost side of the bazaar, and the flag is half broken, and only the word 'inn' can be seen. This is the only inn in the bazaar.
The temperature difference between day and night on the Gobi Desert is very large, with it being extremely hot during the day and silver frost all over the ground at night. Therefore, in the case of being able to live in an inn, Xiao Yu naturally didn't want to suffer that sin. Although the temperature at night does not have much effect on the cultivators. But Xiao Yu found that at night, the air here was particularly dull and damp, and there was a faint smell of blood.
I couldn't see what inn it was, so Xiao Yu walked over. The inn is very broken, a collapsed earthen wall encloses a tube building that is also built of earthen walls, and only opens a door on the front, which is the so-called inn. The courtyard between the earthen wall and the tube building becomes a dining hall.
People who walk the rivers and lakes are not so particular, and they can still stay in the barren mountains and mountains, not to mention such a sheltered tube building. Therefore, there are quite a few people in the inn.
There were fifteen wine tables in the courtyard, and all of them were full.
"Objective, do you want to stay in the hotel?" A young junior saw Xiao Yu at the door and immediately greeted him warmly.
"Stay in the hotel!" Xiao Yu glanced around lightly, turned his head and said.
"There are no single rooms, only the Chase shop on the second floor, do you want to live objectively?" asked the shopkeeper.
"Chase shop?" Xiao Yu wondered. There is no Chase shop in the inn of the Kyushu continent, only the difference in quality, luxury and ordinary surprise. I didn't expect that there was a chase shop here, which shows the simplicity of its conditions and the booming business.
"Our inn has a Lock Yang Array that isolates the blood evil qi, so you can rest assured objectively, and you don't have to worry about the invasion of blood monsters," the shopkeeper saw Xiao Yu hesitate and added.
It turned out to be a bloody breath. A few days ago, Xiao Yu discovered that as soon as he entered the Gobi Desert, the air was faintly filled with a cold smell of blood, especially at night, this smell was even stronger, inhaling this kind of bloody qi would cause the true qi in the body to be disordered, the temperament would become violent, and even go mad.
This is also the reason why the passers-by here would rather spend a lot of spirit stones to live in the Chase Shop of the inn than stay in the wilderness.
"Let's stay!" After Xiao Yu handed over a thousand spirit stones, the shopkeeper helped Xiao Yu add a wine table in the courtyard, a plate of animal meat, and half a catty of spirit wine, which was provided by the inn for free for hotel customers.
Looking around, more than a dozen wine tables were full of people, drinking and drinking, guessing boxing, it seemed that they were all children of rivers and lakes who walked the green forest all year round and weathered past merchants.
The Western Yuan Continent is different from the Kyushu Continent in that mortals and cultivators are here together. Although cultivators have a longer life and more powerful strength than mortals, the inscription of the Holy See, the official institution of the Western Yuan Continent, stipulates that cultivators cannot attack mortals at will, and those who violate them must be punished severely. In a sense, in the Western Yuan Continent, the degree of protection of mortals by the Holy See was much higher than that of cultivators.
It was only because the official institution of the Western Yuan Continent was a religious system, and the cultivation resources came from the beliefs of mortals. The beliefs of mortals will form a wish, and eventually condense into the shape of an elixir, which can be absorbed and refined by cultivators to improve their cultivation.
Although the cultivators of the Western Yuan Continent would also absorb and refine the aura of heaven and earth, the aura contained in the beads of faith was far purer and richer than the aura in the air. Therefore, the Faith Bead has become the most precious cultivation resource in the Western Far Continent. It is similar to the spirit stone in the Kyushu continent, but the heaven and earth aura contained in it is more refined than the spirit stone, and the improvement of cultivation is also faster.
However, not all monks in the Western Yuan Continent can enjoy the Faith Beads, which can only be enjoyed within the Holy See. Even people within the Holy See are not free to enjoy it without restrictions, and if this is the case, the Holy See will not all become masters.
At the end of each year, the beads of faith in the entire continent will be concentrated in the hands of the pope, and then distributed in layers in the form of a fortune. It can be said that the beads of faith are firmly in the hands of the pope.
The Pope took control of the Bead of Faith and cultivated a large number of heartfelt masters, further consolidating his position. Therefore, in the Western Yuan continent, the Pope is the absolute authority, and for tens of thousands of years, it has been so.
It is precisely because the source of the Faith Bead is the will power of mortals that the Holy See will spare no effort to provide protection for mortals. to ensure that the source of the Wishing Power Bead is not affected. Otherwise, if mortals are trampled and killed by cultivators at will, and all of them run away, who will come to provide the Holy See with the power of faith.
Xiao Yu noticed that most of the people in the courtyard were mortals without mana, only the two black-clothed people in cloaks in the northeast corner and the four tall men wearing wide robes and carrying silver broad-crossed swords on Xiao Yu's table near them had faint mana fluctuations on their bodies.
Feeling Xiao Yu's gaze, the four tall men with silver cross swords on their backs looked sideways, and their sharp gazes swept over Xiao Yu several times before turning around.
Could this be the people of the Holy See? Look at the outfit should be the papal nuncta's guards who have come out to carry out their missions. As for the two black-clothed men in the northeast corner, Xiao Yu couldn't see their identities, and the two kept their heads down.
After dinner, Xiao Yu returned to the Datong shop on the second floor, the so-called Tongpu is a kang in a large room, sleeping twelve people.
The shopkeeper warned everyone not to go out at night, because at night, there will be blood monsters outside, and with the strong bloody aura in the air, it can kill people at any time. So, after dinner, everyone went back to their beds.
Xiao Yu's bed was made in the innermost part of the room against the wall, and the whole room was filled with all kinds of unpleasant smells. Xiao Yu lay on his bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Finally, I simply got up and sat up.
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, when everyone had fallen asleep, Xiao Yu noticed that the two black-clothed men by the door sat up and whispered in a low voice. Although the two deliberately lowered their voices, Xiao Yu still heard a general idea from the words of the two.
It turned out that the two of them wanted to rob a caravan that came with them, and agreed to start at Hukou Waterfall early tomorrow morning.
During the day, Xiao Yu had paid attention to the caravan in the mouth of the two, there were four martial arts masters in the caravan, but they were only masters in the eyes of mortals, and in the eyes of cultivators, they were also just ants-like existences. It stands to reason that two cultivators don't need to be so careful when dealing with a group of mortals.
It was only because of the scruples of the four papal guards that he never dared to make a move. But from the tone of the two of them, they could hear that the items consigned by the caravan were very important to them, and they would do it tomorrow morning no matter what.
Items worthy of personal escort by the papal nuncta's guards are by no means ordinary. Although Xiao Yu was very interested, he also knew that when he first arrived, he didn't know anything about the Xiyuan Continent, especially the power structure here.
Before I came, I only knew that the two largest forces in the Xiyuan Continent were the official Holy See and the blood clan. As for the other forces, Xiao Yu didn't know anything about it. When the eyes are blackened, curiosity kills. Therefore, Xiao Yu did not plan to join in the fun.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yu left the inn and continued westward. Out of the bazaar, after walking only a few dozen miles, there was a huge teapot-shaped waterfall in front of me, and this was where the man in black planned to ambush the caravan.
Xiao Yu's divine sense probed around, and soon, he found dozens of people ambushing behind the large and small sand, and even people were hiding under the sand. What exactly is it that deserves such a big deal about?
Dozens of people are all cultivators, and most of them are cultivators in the Qi cultivation period and foundation building period. But there were also three or four early Jindan monks. Dealing with a group of ordinary businessmen to dispatch so many masters, it can be seen that they are determined to obtain this batch of items.
Such a large-scale operation, I am afraid that it is no longer a simple robbery, seeing that it is boring, Xiao Yu stepped up his pace, wanting to escape from this place as soon as possible.
However, Xiao Yu didn't want to get involved in it, but someone didn't obey his wishes, no, just as Xiao Yu wanted to bypass Hukou Waterfall, a blood-red rope fell from the sky and bound Xiao Yu steadily.
A pungent smell of blood emanated from the rope, what the hell is this Nima? Xiao Yu lowered his head and looked at the blood-red rope that tied him with five flowers, his eyes showing a look of contemplation. It's a familiar smell, exactly like the smell in the night air here.
The rope formed by the bloody aura, the bloody aqi has turned into substance, what a strong bloody aura this must be, Xiao Yu was secretly speechless, this stunned spirit, he actually forgot to resist. Soon, a black figure flew quickly, holding Xiao Yu in his hand, and quickly escaped behind the sand.
Xiao Yu wanted to break free from the rope and escape, which was not a threat to Xiao Yu, but his strong curiosity prompted him to stay and see how the other party would deal with the group of caravans and the guards of the Holy See. I want to see what kind of items the caravan is consigning. In this way, Xiao Yu willingly became the other party's prisoner.
