Chapter 3: The Evil City

Following the route traveled by the Demon Heart Stone Spirit, Li Mo and Zhu Duanmu and his party soon arrived at the place where the red dot disappeared.

After that, he followed the direction Yuan Xiaohu said, and finally came to a huge mountain range.

Under the verdant ancient forest are jet-black rock formations, and the sky is also black. As far as the eye could see, there was a rich pitch black color, and before entering the mountain range, I felt an extreme sense of depression.

Traveling north along the road, Li Moshun found the mark left by Yuan Xiaohu.

After two days of travel, the group has gone deep into the heart of the mountains.

In the early morning of this day, when Li Mo was about to continue his journey, there was movement from the sound transmission stone, it turned out that Zhao Zhuoqun was afraid that they would go the wrong way, so he rushed over from the Extremely Evil Mountain.

After the convergence, continue the march under his leadership.

In the early afternoon, the group walked along the cliff and arrived at a huge cave, and the entrance of the cave was engraved with three vigorous characters: Ghost Gate.

There was a sinister aura in the dark hole, but naturally this did not stop Li Mo for half a minute.

Passing through the cave, there is a long mountain path.

The trail is flat, but there are tall wooden stakes on both sides of the road, and you can't help but look up.

When he looked up, his heart inevitably sank, just because there was a corpse hanging from each stake.

Most of them were skeletons, their clothes in tatters, revealing their bones, exposed in the sun and rain, and their bones were in tatters.

Some of them had only recently been hung up, and a flock of vultures were standing on a stake rack with carrion in their mouths, and when they saw someone coming, they flew high and circled in mid-air.

"These are all people who have violated the rules of the city and have been executed, some of them are extremely vicious, and some are spies sent by various sects to enter here, and they will all be executed after their identities are discovered. Zhao Zhuoqun said as he walked.

"Wouldn't this extremely evil mountain person do this, causing the public anger of the sects?" Li Mo said.

Zhao Zhuoqun said: "The place of Extreme Evil Mountain was originally a den of thieves, but because the mountains here are treacherous, there are thousands of caves and holes, and it is very easy to hide, so it is useless for the surrounding sects to encircle and suppress it. It wasn't until sixty years ago that Guan Changming fled here and established the Extremely Evil City, which made the power here really rise. The surrounding sects have also been encircled and suppressed many times, but they have all returned in vain. ”

"What is the origin of this Guan Changming?" asked Li Mo.

Zhao Zhuoqun explained: "This person was originally an elder of the county-level second-tier sect Jiulian Mountain, and he was wanted by the sect because he coveted the sect's treasure book, infiltrated the sect's forbidden place, killed the gatekeeper elder, and snatched the town's treasure book. This person fled all the way here under the pursuit of the sect, and since then he has built a city and proclaimed himself the lord of the city. ”

"So, this Guan Changming is at least a hundred years old, right?" Zhu Duanmu couldn't help but say.

Zhao Zhuoqun nodded and said: "Ten years ago, he often came forward to preside over affairs, but there have been few rumors of him in the past ten years, and I don't know whether he is dead or alive." However, I went into the city with my senior brother before, and from the situation of inquiry, it seems that there is no new city owner in the extremely evil city. ”

Li Mo estimated and said: "In sixty years, Guan Changming will definitely enter the realm of the heavenly dome early, and it will naturally not be a problem to live for more than a hundred years." There has been no news for ten years, but I am afraid that I am in retreat and cultivation in order to make a breakthrough. It seems that in this extremely evil city, I am afraid that there is also a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. ”

Zhao Zhuoqun also said cautiously: "Since Guan Changming founded the city, a large number of evil people and evil ways have rushed here, ten years ago, it was said that the population of the extremely evil city has reached 300,000 people, and now, I am afraid that this number is even more than that." ”

At this point, he admonished: "There are some ruthless people in this city, who either deceive teachers and destroy ancestors, betray the sect, or kill people and oversell goods, so if you want not to be targeted, you have to show some fierce and domineering." ”

Everyone nodded, and when they reached the end of the mountain road, they saw a huge mountain as black as ink in the distance.

Several long natural stone bridges cross the boiling river below to the foot of the mountain.

On the mountainside there was a castle, and on the city wall hung a skeleton with white bones and pennants.

Passing along the stone bridge, the group finally arrived at the gate of the city.

In front of the gate, a line of guards stood, all with gloomy faces and evil spirits.

There is a table next to it, where a middle-aged man sits to register new entrants.

Zhao Zhuoqun seemed to be familiar with the way, and walked over with Li Moyi, without saying a word, first handed over a small bag of spirit stones, and then took out a large bag of spirit stones.

The middle-aged man put away the small bag of spirit stones, and there was a little more smile on the face of the cold board, and he casually asked a few people about the origins, and then took out a few tokens to distribute to a few people.

After entering the city, Li Mo asked, "Could it be that this token is to be purchased with spirit stones?"

Zhao Zhuoqun smiled and said: "That's right, this is still a temporary entry card, only half a month's period, a brand of a hundred spirit stones." ”

"Although the price is not expensive, this Guan Changming has a hand in the way of accumulating money. Li Mo said.

Zhao Zhuoqun said: "This city is full of extremely greedy people, if you want to do something, you have to take care of it." It's okay to spend a little money, but people here either have a huge appetite or are treacherous. ”

Li Mo understood that it costs money to do things, but spending money may not necessarily succeed.

He now has tens of millions of spirit stones alone, plus those priceless treasure-level treasures in the ring, not to mention.

But wealth is not exposed, if people know that they have these net worth, it will not cause a catastrophe.

There are many pedestrians on the street, either burly men or sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, all with venomous eyes, and few people with Sven looks.

Li Mo and the others also released their fierce anger to prevent being targeted by people with intentions.

It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the house rented by Yuan Xiaohu.

As soon as he sat down, Yuan Xiaohu hurried back.

Seeing that Zhu Duanmu and the others all had extraordinary temperaments, he couldn't help but take a few more looks, bowed his hand, and then sat down.

"Senior brother, how is the news?" Zhao Zhuoqun hurriedly asked.

Yuan Xiaohu said: "I really heard a little useful information, and after a while, Huang Jiao, the city lord of Black Prison City, and Yin Zhulong, the city lord of Niutou City, will come here." ”

Zhao Zhuoqun frowned and said, "The gathering of the city lords of the three cities will definitely have a big event!"

Yuan Xiaohu bowed his head and said: "I'm afraid that it is, and it is said that Guan Changming, who has not appeared for ten years, will also attend this party in person." ”

Li Mo said: "These two cities sound like the most evil cities, and they are not good places. ”

Yuan Xiaohu nodded and said, "These two cities, like the Extreme Evil Mountain, are thieves' dens, and the evil people in the vicinity are all looking at these three cities. I have heard that the three cities have dealings with each other before, but the gathering of the city lords of the three cities must not be a trivial matter. However, although the meeting was widely reported in the city, the exact purpose of the meeting was unknown. ”

"That'...... What is the purpose of the old man? It must have something to do with this gathering?" Zhao Zhuoqun speculated.

Li Mo thought for a while, and then said: "Since the two seniors are also involved now, then I won't hide it from the two." Actually, what the bald old man did was not his intention. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yuan Xiaohu was a little confused.

Li Mo said: "Maybe Senior Yuan can also see that the black liquid released by the bald old man is extremely weird, and it is difficult for you to break it with even a single move. That's because the bald old man has an evil thing attached to his body, called the 'Demon Heart Stone Spirit'. ”

"Demon Heart Stone Spirit?" the two of them were taken aback.

Li Mo said: "This thing has survived for more than 2,000 years, and now it has the ability to control people's hearts. After the bald old man was possessed by this thing, he took control of his mind and became a puppet. ”

"What?" Zhao Zhuoqun's face changed, "There is such a monster, Brother Mo, aren't you joking?"

"I see, no wonder the bald old man used his senior brother as a shield. Moreover, the thing of compressing the filthy bead and swallowing it is indeed unheard of, and it is very human. Now, I get it. Yuan Xiaohu nodded.

"Shall we ...... If he possessed him, would he still have it? wouldn't the six relatives not recognize it?" Zhao Zhuoqun couldn't help but say.

Li Mo said solemnly: "I am telling the matter now, also to let the two seniors understand the seriousness of the situation. Those who will be possessed by the Demon Heart Stone Spirit are all weak-willed, and it should not have grown to the point where it can forcibly possess anyone. So as long as you are steadfast in your hearts, the chances of possession are very small. And as long as he is within ten feet of me, I will be able to detect it, and I will not let him succeed. ”

Zhao Zhuoqun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and Yuan Xiaohu said: "This evil thing is so capable, and its methods are cruel, if it is left unchecked, won't there be innocent lives affected?"

Li Mo said: "Without further ado, I think we might as well go to investigate the news in two ways, and we must not let him escape again." ”

Yuan Xiaohu also nodded, and drove out with Zhao Zhuoqun first.

Then, several of the guards left the mansion as well.

Li Mo took out the Earth Fire from the Hanging Earth Secret Realm, swallowed it in his stomach, and sat cross-legged on a chair to cultivate.

The Demon Heart Stone Spirit can even devour the Filthy Bead, its ability is beyond the expected, it is extraordinary, and the five hundred year essence possessed by the Filthy Bead will make him greatly increase his strength in a short period of time.

See you next time, the Demon Heart Stone Spirit will be stronger than last time.

Then he must grow faster in a short period of time.

In this way, at night, the streets were brightly lit, and the night crystals hanging in the house were also lit up one after another, just like day.

Li Mo exhaled lightly and opened his eyes.

After more than an hour of refining, the earth fire has consumed a lot, and the remaining part is quietly silent in the abdomen, and it only takes a few days to refine it.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and Zhu Duanmu went out to open the door, but the guards who went to investigate came back.

"How's the investigation going?" asked Li Mo.

"Sect Master, there is no result for the time being. The guard bowed back.

Li Mo groaned slightly, and said to Zhu Duanmu: "Uncle Duanmu, I don't think it's the best strategy to investigate like this. ”

"What does the sect master mean?" asked Zhu Duanmu.
