On the way, Ning Chen calmed down and carefully recalled the power layout in this area.
Centered on Chunyang Wuji Palace.
Thousands of miles to the southwest, next to a sea area, was the former biggest rival of Chunyang Wuji Palace, Yuanyang Gate, which also had several Nascent Soul monks.
However, Yuanyangmen moved away from this area three thousand years ago due to the exhaustion of spiritual energy.
Thousands of miles due east of Chunyang Wuji Palace is the ancient sword gate.
To the northeast is the Evil Ghost Sect, which has only recently gained momentum.
Twenty thousand miles away due north is the Qingxuan Sect, currently the most powerful sect in this area.
In addition to these three currently larger sects, there are also some small sects with only foundation-building monks, and they are not worth mentioning.
The location of Yuanyang Gate used to be a sea area.
There are some sea monsters living in the sea, and some big monsters in the depths of the sea will not easily leave their position. Near the land, there are only some foundation-building sea monsters that can reach the Golden Core realm at most.
In addition to the Cultivation Sect and the Sea Clan forces, there are also a large number of humans in this area.

It's just that there is no human dynasty, there are just cities.
Ning Chen recalled the time when Chunyang Wuji Palace and Yuanyang Gate were in their heyday.
The human cities in the west and south are all under the control of Yuanyang Sect, while the human cities in the east and north are under the control of Chunyang Wuji Palace. There are ten or twenty human cities, large and small, and almost half of them are managed by one sect.
After the Yuanyang Gate moved away and the Chunyang Wuji Palace fell, the human city no longer had a real controller.
Ning Chen calculated.
If a strong person comes out to establish order, then it may still be stable on the surface.
If there is no order, then in fact, the current human city is probably a situation of separatism among various forces, with various forces constantly fighting internally and externally.
The same should be the case in Nanhua City.
Thousands of years ago, Nanhua City was a small city with a population of only one million.
Yuanyangmen looked down upon this small city, so Nanhua City belonged to Chunyang Wuji Palace, and it was also the only city in the southwest that belonged to Chunyang Wuji Palace.
At that time, every year all the big and small forces in the city had to report to the person in charge of Chunyang Wuji Palace in Nanhua City and pay tribute to the sect.
The disciples of Chunyang Wuji Palace will rotate to Nanhua City every year to form a law enforcement team. At the same time, spiritual root testing will be held in the city to find talented disciples and bring them back to the sect.
Although each city will have a strong person as the city lord, the actual controller of the city is still the sect.
After the sect's decline, the big and small forces in the city will naturally start to fight constantly.
So, it can be said that the current human city should be a very chaotic and unreasonable place.
Thinking of this, Ning Chen seemed to feel that it was not a strange thing for his disciples to have an accident in Nanhua City.
After getting out of his thoughts, Ning Chen asked Ren Yiyi who was standing next to him: "Have you been to Nanhua City before? What is the situation in Nanhua City now?"
Ren Yiyi nodded and said quickly: "Back to the headmaster, I have been there. Many of the disciples in the sect are currently recruited from Nanhua City, and some are from the villages surrounding Nanhua City."
"It's just that there are actually very few of them. People from the Ancient Sword Sect will stop them. If they meet a disciple with good talent, they will snatch it from us directly."
"So, we rarely go there, and when we do, we are cautious."
"If we don't pay tribute to the Ancient Sword Sect, they will make it impossible for us to recruit any disciples."
When Ren Yiyi said this, she seemed to feel that she had gone off topic, and then she exhaled and said: "Nanhua City is the closest human city to us. There are currently three million people in the city, and most of them have no spiritual roots. Ordinary people, and in terms of forces, there seem to be many, such as the Blood Knife Society, the Night Slaughter Clan, the Dragon and Tiger Gang... they are all private forces. There are two larger forces, one is the Li family of the cultivation family, and the other is the Nanhua Sect. "
Ning Chen heard that the name of the Nanhua Sect was a little strange, so he asked: "What kind of force is the Nanhua Sect?"
Ren Yiyi breathed out again and said: "Back to the headmaster, this Nanhua Sect has a long history. It was probably four thousand years ago. A genius appeared in Nanhua City, and it only took a thousand years to cultivate. During the transformation stage, he seemed to have joined a line of Buddhism, with the name of Nanhua, and was known as Nanhua Zhenren."
"Then it seems that because of the battle between our Chunyang Wuji Palace and Yuanyang Gate, Nanhua City encountered a Nascent Soul Demon. It seemed that he wanted to massacre the city and treat all the people as blood food. As our two sects fought, no one went there. Considering that at the critical moment, Master Nanhua took action and killed the big demon with one move."
"Then the people in the city built a statue of Nanhua Zhenren in the city in order to thank him, and changed the name of the city to Nanhua City."
After listening to this narration, Ning Chen asked casually: "Could it be that this Nanhua Sect is the inherited sect left by the Master Nanhua?"
After Ren Yiyi finished speaking in one breath, she listened to Ning Chen's question, shook her head and said: "No, Master Nanhua doesn't seem to have established any sect. Even his own inheritance is not publicized much. He only appears when he appears. After that one time, I never heard any rumors about Nan Hua Zhenren again."
"As for the Nanhua Sect, they are some other forces that, under the name of Nanhua Zhenren, have grown stronger somehow."
"oh?"
"Then what kind of exercises do they practice?"
After Ning Chen asked, Ren Yiyi immediately replied:
"It's a kind of Tantric Buddhism, but they don't seem to be as compassionate and noble as the monks written in the books. Most of their disciples are lay people, and many of them do evil things."
After Ning Chen listened, he thought a little, but on the surface he didn't comment and asked the next question directly.
"What about the Li family?"
"The Li family is a cultivation family that has been passed down for thousands of years, and there has always been a golden elixir ancestor in the family."
"Then it's worth mentioning that several members of the Li family were once disciples of our Chunyang Wuji Palace."
"So, the Li family has always been polite to us going to Nanhua City to recruit disciples."
Hearing this, Ning Chen nodded.
"Then, the Li family can be used as a place to stay."
"When we arrive at Nanhua City, let's go to the Li family first to ask about the situation."
Seeing that she had an idea, Ren Yiyi also became relieved.
He cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Headmaster."
Luoluo had been listening silently next to Ning Chen, and her little head had been thinking, but it seemed a little complicated, so she gave up after thinking for a while.
Ning Chen didn't think too much.
In his understanding, the disciple's disappearance probably meant that he had provoked some force in the city.
As long as he arrives in the city, asks the Li family for help, and uses his own tracking skills, the matter can be solved quickly.
But Ning Chen and the other three didn't know.
The entire Nanhua City is currently filled with storms.
