Chapter 1068 - Clear
"Stabilize the gap!" Elder Cheng, who was proficient in the formation, shouted, and at the same time, as soon as the formation flag in his hand waved, a demonic light struck into the formation.
A brilliant glow suddenly appeared in the circle, and the glow poured into the gap, rotating non-stop, forming a pillar of light several zhang thick. The gap in the barrier, which was about to heal on its own, was blocked by this pillar of light and failed to heal.
"Elder Cheng led twenty monks and a formation master to guard the formation here, and the rest of the people entered this space with the old man!" An old man with white eyebrows like a sword commanded, and then took the lead in submerging into the formation pillar of light, and the next moment, he followed the pillar of light into the enchantment.
This white-eyed old man is Elder Tian who is ranked first on the list, and he has the highest status here, so he should call the shots.
Elder Tie immediately named the twenty Demon Body Stage cultivators and instructed them to leave Elder Cheng who was assisting in presiding over the formation. In fact, Elder Cheng didn't need assistance, leaving these monks was just to suppress those formation masters who had been temporarily "invited", so that they didn't dare to make trouble or escape.
Probably because the greedy charm is "famous" and can deter these formation masters, so the list reported by Elder Tie also includes Li Muran.
Everyone was very envious of Li Muran and the other twenty monks, these people didn't need to break into the mysterious enchantment space to take risks, they just had to wait outside, and they could complete the sect's tasks in the same way, which was both easy and stable.
"My subordinates want to go in and explore and broaden their horizons, so why don't you change it!" Li Muran asked Elder Tie for instructions.
Elder Tie was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Since the greedy little friend took the initiative to ask, the old man is naturally satisfied!"
He immediately replaced the monk who was left behind by Li Muran, and he was very happy and thanked him again and again.
Li Muran and the other monks, under the leadership of the Night Hell King, Elder Tie and others, flew into the formation of the pillar of light.
After Li Muran flew into it, he felt a flower in front of him, and he immediately appeared in a new world.
The surrounding green mountains and green waters are full of aura. Unknown wildflowers bloom everywhere in a variety of colours.
There are very few colorful flowers and plants in the demon world, and this scenery makes Li Muran feel as if he has returned to the spirit world.
Elder Tian was nowhere to be found, and after a brief discussion among Elder Tie and several other elders, they divided the monks into several teams, each led by a Mahayana elder, to investigate in different directions.
More than twenty monks, including Li Muran, flew somewhere under the leadership of the Night Yama King.
Along the way, they carefully investigated every place they passed, every grass, tree, mountain and stone, and carefully checked to confirm that there was nothing abnormal.
This is a mixed spirit land, the aura is relatively abundant, but the demonic energy is relatively thin. For the other demon cultivators, they were all a little uncomfortable, and they even had to sacrifice a layer of body protection magic light to isolate the surrounding aura.
Although Li Muran also sacrificed a layer of protective body magic light like other demon cultivators, he was actually not affected at all, and in this environment, he could still display his strongest strength.
Not long after, they found traces of some low-level demon beasts.
"According to the commission, all the living beings in the enchantment space must be controlled, so although these low-level demon beasts are insignificant, they should be caught one by one!"
"Yes!" the monks agreed, and they all started to move. Such a trivial matter naturally does not need the Night Yama King to take action personally, and Li Muran's status is not low, because there are lower-ranking monks to make a move, and he can just watch from the sidelines.
Everyone searched very carefully, even if it was the lair of these low-level demon beasts, they had to investigate it deeply and carefully. Because of the careful search, the progress will naturally not be too fast.
"Although this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, it can try not to miss any clues, it seems that the client behind it really wants to find some clues in these chaotic places!" Li Muran said secretly in his heart.
It was very plain, for Li Muran and other Tianzhumen monks, it was easy to kill and capture these demon beasts whose highest cultivation was only the true body stage, and it was as easy as a snap.
When everyone searched a certain demon beast's lair, suddenly a monk discovered that there were human bones among the mountains of bones piled up in the lair.
"There are also human monks here!" Li Muran's heart moved. He also took a closer look at the bones, judging from the decay Cheng Dù, it should have died years ago. From the point of view of bone quality, this skeleton has a faint jade luster, which should be the skeleton of a low-level monk in the Fugue or Faxiang period.
The Night Yama immediately took out a teleportation note and informed the other elders of their discovery.
"Be careful, there are Terran monks in the spirit realm in this mixed spirit land!" said the Night Yama King, "Although the owner of this skeleton is not highly cultivated, it is not certain that there are no high-level Terran monks here. If there really are high-level Terran cultivators, they will be able to display their magical powers in this environment, and they will have more advantages than our demon cultivators!"
"Yes!" Li Muran and the others all nodded, and their expressions became solemn. This mission, after all, seems to have some risks and difficulties.
With the clue of bones, everyone investigated more carefully, and not long after, they found several mutilated bones of Terran monks one after another.
However, they could not find any obvious traces of man-made such as the footprints left by the Terran monks or the caves and palaces they built.
A few days later, the team led by the Night Yama King and the team of monks led by Elder Yue met on the way to search.
The Night Yama King said: "I have searched these areas before and after, but I have not found any living Terran monks, and at the moment there is only this direction that has not been investigated, so it is better to search there together!"
The Night Yama King's suggestion coincided with Elder Yue's thoughts, and everyone didn't know what kind of cultivation the remnant spirit realm cultivators here would have and how many they were, so they were all extra cautious, investigating together, and taking care of each other.
After another half of the day, the sky in this land of mixed spirits also darkened, and everyone searched carefully all the way, and came to a valley surrounded by high mountains.
This valley is not large, only a hundred and ten miles in circumference, surrounded by straight cliffs, and there is no road to follow. Except for the high-ranking monks flying directly over the mountain, the only way to enter this valley was a narrow mountain stream, and this mountain stream was also blocked by countless rocks.
In the valley, under the shade of the trees, there are stone houses and wooden houses, and there are many fertile fields where the stream flows through the valley.
"This is a gathering place for the human race!" Elder Yue smiled slightly, his expression very relaxed.
Not only him, but the other Demon Body Stage cultivators also breathed a sigh of relief. Because as long as you sweep it with your divine thoughts, you will find that although there are many Terran cultivators here, their cultivation is not high, and the highest is only the fugue period, and most of them are mortals without mana.
"Take control of this place first, and then notify Elder Tian and the others!" the Night Yama King commanded, and then he floated down on a high mountain around him and sat cross-legged.
Not long after, many teams of monks from the Tianzhumen came here one after another. After collecting the results of the search of all the teams, it was found that there were many low-level and middle-level demon beasts in this mixed spirit land, but the gathering place of the human race was only the current one.
Obviously, these human races have also survived by relying on the natural danger of being isolated from the outside of the valley, otherwise they would have been devoured by those demon beasts outside the valley long ago. And this is not a long-term strategy, as long as a ferocious high-level demon beast appears, and finds here, it can easily fly over the mountains and come to the valley, and devour all the Terran monks here.
"These human races can survive so far, they can be regarded as very lucky!" Li Muran said secretly in his heart. Under his divine investigation, there were only two or three hundred people in this valley, and as long as a powerful demon beast happened to break into this place, these human races would be wiped out.
"You wait and investigate, and see if there are any clues left in these spirit human races. The Night Yama commanded.
Li Muran and the others agreed, but they all knew in their hearts that these mortals could not be the target of Tianzhumen at all, and it was impossible to have useful clues.
However, Li Muran and several other monks took the lead in flying to the mortals in the valley to investigate carefully.
When these mortals saw the "visitors from the sky", they were naturally shocked and inexplicable. Although there was a language barrier between the two sides, after giving the two fugue monks in the valley the Speech Pill, they quickly mastered the language of the Demon Realm.
Li Muran and the others asked a few words, and sure enough, these Terran monks didn't know anything at all. They only knew that they had lived in this special space for generations, and that their ancestors had moved into this valley because they had avoided demon beasts, and they did not dare to go out. Occasionally, there were bold monks who, after cultivating to the point of fugue period, ventured out of the valley, but never returned.
As for the exercises they cultivated, they were also the most basic low-level exercises in the spirit realm, and there was nothing special about them.
Li Muran asked a few words, and then carefully investigated the valley, confirming that this was just an ordinary, forgotten corner, and had no connection with Master Xuanguang and the others.
Later, almost all the monks of the Heavenly Sect, including Elder Tian, gathered here, because there was nothing else to discover.
After Elder Tian sent the monk to investigate, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture to Elder Tie.
Elder Tie's face suddenly sank, he sighed lightly, and then spit out two words: "Clear!"
Li Muran frowned, of course he knew the meaning behind these two words. This is a secret phrase of Tianzhumen, which means to erase a trace of qiē and extinguish a qiē living being, in other words, all the demon beasts and humans found in this mixed spirit land must be all exterminated, leaving no trace!
"This is the request of the client! do it!" Elder Tie commanded again.
Clearing out these mortals and low-level monks, naturally there is no need for people with great status and status such as the Night Yama King and Li Muran to take action personally, and those gray-belted monks who are at the bottom of the ranking have been ordered to fly to the valley.
