"Spicy monster meat jerky, an exclusive secret recipe, a specialty from my village in this mortal world, does it taste good?"
Chen Ping leaned on the chair, resting his hands on the back of his head, squinting lazily at the sunset in the sky, a rare moment of relaxation and leisure.
What a wonderful time.
Beautiful views, good wine, and delicious food.
He slowly chewed the spicy monster meat jerky in his mouth.
...it smells so good.
People in this world really don’t enjoy it.
In future generations, if you don't know how to eat spicy food, you will lose at least half of your right to enjoy delicious food.
"Hi ha, ha ha..."
He Xianxiang's mouth was filled with smoke as he ate. He quickly took a sip of wine and threw the spicy monster meat jerky on the table: "It's not delicious. It's far inferior to the braised monster meat."
After saying that, he picked up the braised monster meat and started eating it.
But after a while, he glanced at the spicy monster meat jerky and couldn't help but pick it up and take another bite: "Hi ha, ha ha..."
"Well, it's not as good as braised monster meat." He Xianxiang shook his head while eating.
After a while:
"Hi ha, ha ha..."
Chen Ping: "..."
"Have you heard anything about the Qingyun Sect?" After chatting for a while, He Xianxiang turned to ask Chen Ping, who was lazily leaning on the chair.
"You can't contact the Qingyun Sect? I've heard a lot about it." Chen Ping didn't know why He Xianxiang mentioned this matter again.
"It's not just that we can't get in touch." He Xianxiang shook his head and said:
"The second team formed by the five major families a month ago is quite strong. There are thirteen people in total, all of whom are in the middle and late stages of Qi training. However, when the news came back some time ago, they suffered heavy losses. Most of them died along the way."
"This is not the worst. After all, some people have gone down. But the problem is that someone has reached the foot of the Qingyun Sect's gate, but worse news has come. The Qingyun Sect is not allowed to enter."
Chen Ping got excited and sat up straight:
"What's the meaning?"
He Xianxiang's eyebrows were filled with worry, but on the surface he looked calm:
"What else can it mean? Just a few words came back: Qingyun Sect is not allowed to enter."
Chen Ping frowned:
"Gone?"
"Gone."
Seeing that Chen Ping was having trouble understanding, He Xianxiang ate another piece of spicy monster jerky:
"Haha... It's good to be able to send back a few words, what else do you want? With just a few communication talismans, the person using them is only at the ninth level of Qi training, so sending back just a few words is already a good harvest."
"You have to be lucky that the ninth-level Qi Practitioner made it to Qingyun Sect alive, otherwise not a single word would be transmitted. Ha ha..."
There are not many characters that the communication talisman can communicate, and it is limited by the messenger's cultivation level, which is also related to the communication distance... Chen Ping has heard a little about these.
only...
What does 'Qingyun Sect is not allowed to enter' mean?
Not allowed in?
Still can't get in?
There is still a difference.
"Has this team returned?" Chen Ping asked.
...There is currently too little information.
If this team could come back and tell the story personally, the situation would be much clearer.
Don't make random guesses here.
"I don't know." He Xianxiang also leaned on the chair, looking at the gradually darkening sky in trance.
"Not many people know about this matter. Once it is reported, Lianyun City is afraid of chaos. Just listen and don't spread it casually." After a while, He Xianxiang added another sentence.
Chen Ping was speechless and didn't ask how He Xianxiang learned about it.
Just sigh silently:
'This Lianyung City is probably about to face a real deep winter. '
Although the news will be suppressed for a while, there is no airtight wall, and the news will spread sooner or later.
'Qingyun Sect is not allowed to enter. '
There are many possible reasons.
But when everything comes back to its origin, there is only one ending.
That is, Qingyun Sect has completely lost contact with Lianyuncheng, and Lianyuncheng has lost its backer.
Lianyun City has really become an isolated city.
By the time the news spreads, people's hopes will be completely dashed.
The human heart will be further magnified.
Rats that move in secret will be even more excited.
Can the five major families still maintain stability?
Not necessarily.
"Old man, I'm leaving Lianyung City." Suddenly, He Xianxiang's long and leisurely voice came.
Chen Ping suddenly turned his head.
I saw He Xianxiang lying half-lying and looking at the horizon, his eyes slightly narrowed, not knowing what he was looking for in the distance.
While talking to Chen Ping, he never turned to look at Chen Ping.
Chen Ping suppressed his confusion:
"Leave, where to go?"
He Xianxiang thought for a while and said:
"go home."
Chen Ping's expression froze... Should he go home?
This means returning to the mortal world.
Let's just say that the spiritual energy in He Xianxiang's heart has not recovered.
Perhaps, his mentality changed from the moment his hand was broken.
Chen Ping didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for He Xianxiang.
The issue is.
"How to reply?" Chen Ping frowned.
Even the two teams jointly formed by the five major families suffered heavy losses. How can He Xianxiang get out?
Today, the endless forest outside Lianyun City is no longer what it used to be.
After experiencing the battle between the Qingyun Sect and the demonic cultivators, especially after the beast tide occurred in Lianyun City, the surrounding forests were full of evil spirits and monsters. If you were not careful, you would die without a burial place.
This has never happened before.
He Xianxiang smiled at this time:
"What are you thinking about? Old man, I still know myself. How can I take risks alone? Several of our past beast hunter teams joined forces to form a team of more than thirty people, and there are also many in the middle and late stages of Qi training."
"We'll leave in a few days."
"Before I came here, I originally wanted to ask you if you wanted to go together. But now that I think about it, it's better for you not to go. No matter how dangerous Lianyun City is, it's not as dangerous as the outer forests."
"Those families cherish their lives very much. They may seek to change the situation."
More than thirty people?
Get out of the dangerous forest outside Lianyun City?
Too risky.
Chen Ping frowned slightly:
"How sure are you?"
He Xianxiang laughed loudly:
"There is no certainty. If six or seven of these thirty people can walk out, it will be considered as achieving the goal."
'hiss...'
Chen Ping couldn't help but take a breath of air.
What is the difference between this and blocking one's life?
Are you betting that you will become one of those six or seven people?
The probability is too small.
I can’t afford to gamble.
"But having said that, we have also made a complete plan. This time I will not go in the direction of Qingyun Sect. Instead, I will go north. Starting from Sunset Forest, we will go north along the river, and then we will go about three hundred miles. Four hundred miles to the northeast, toward the mortal city. Although the distance will be several times longer, based on our past experience of hunting beasts, this may be the safest route." He Xianxiang added.
More than thirty people walked more than 700 miles in the dark forest...
It's difficult.
The monks in the Qi training stage are different from the monks in the foundation building stage. They are not strong physically, have no spiritual consciousness, and even the ability to fly with a sword is not impressive.
There is even no inedia.
How easy is it for thirty people like this to pass through seven hundred miles of primeval forest?
"No wait? You also said that those families cherish their lives very much, and maybe they can find a way. And there are so many people here, the possibility of surviving together is greater than your vain risk." Chen Ping was not so much trying to persuade He Xianxiang. Said to seek answers.
"No wait, you guys are young and can wait. We, these old bones, are alone, so what's the point of waiting? Besides, we are just unwilling people. It's good to take a risk before we die. Isn't it a journey... Hey, drink, drink." He Xianxiang seemed to not want to be too pessimistic, so he made a mistake.
Chen Ping said nothing more.
He Xianxiang couldn't possibly not know what he knew.
This is especially true for those veteran beast hunting cultivators.
Maybe everyone can’t see what hope they have in Lianyuncheng, so they should choose to take the initiative.
Everyone has their own choice.
This is life.
