The mountains and rivers are broken and devastated.
On the way to the Southern Territory, Jun Wuxie witnessed the tragic situation in the area where the Great Zhou Dynasty fell, which was simply a hell on earth.
Those broken cities and villages were filled with bones, rotting corpses on the ground, the stench filled the sky, and swarms of flies were hovering.
The territory that spans tens of thousands of miles is filled with such horrific scenes.
Yueyao and Concubine Ling both sighed.
Jun Wuxie remained silent. The destruction caused by the war was too cruel and desperate for the people living in this land.
Only a strong country can bring prosperity and peace, and live and work in peace and contentment.
If you are weak, you will be trampled on, invaded, and slaughtered.
Not to mention enjoying life and experiencing life, even the most basic survival is just a luxury.
"Back then, my world was also in such a miserable state..."
Concubine Ling was moved by the scene, remembering the dark past and that desperate era.
"This world lacks a true guardian of order. The massive death of mortals is destroying the foundation of a world!"
Yue Yao sighed and said that in other worlds, no matter how hard they fought, the world's forces would never do such a thing. Both sides adhered to the final bottom line and would never allow the slaughter of innocent mortals.
Ling Fei said that such behavior is very similar to that group of creatures who pursue the darkest will.
When Jun Wuxie heard this, the corners of her eyes jumped.
Behind Xilin are the Black Demon Cult and the Soul Hunting Hall.
If it wasn't for their support, would Xilin dare to do this?
He really couldn't understand the meaning of the Black Demon Sect and the Soul Hunting Hall supporting Xilin to massacre the world?
Mortals are no threat to them, so there is no conflict of interest.
Then, there is no need for the Black Demon Sect and the Soul Hunting Hall to support Xilin's massacre policy.
Especially the Soul Hunting Hall!
The purpose of this organization's existence since ancient times is to hunt for the souls and origins of the Ancient Blooded Ones.
However, there are many ancient blood people in the world who are descended from mortals.
Isn't Xilin's behavior blocking the soul hunting path of the Soul Hunting Hall in the future?
"Yao'er, how much do you know about the Soul Hunting Palace?"
"The Soul Hunting Hall is very mysterious. We, the Shenyue Clan, have been guardians of the ancient world for endless years, but the information we have obtained about this organization is very limited. They have walked the world in different eras, hunting for the origin and soul of ancient blood, and have been dedicated to This purpose.”
"As for what they used to hunt for the origin of ancient blood and souls, it is an unsolved mystery. Our clan has captured many soul hunters alive, but we were unable to obtain any information about the Soul Hunting Hall from them."
"Have you ever found the darkest power in a soul hunter?"
"No."
Yueyao shook her head.
She and Concubine Ling both looked at Jun Wuxie: "Brother Wuxie, does he suspect that the Soul Hunting Hall is related to the Darkest Creatures?"
"I'm just guessing."
"This possibility is very small and there are no clues to support it, but this possibility cannot be completely ruled out."
When Yueyao mentioned the Soul Hunting Hall, there was deep hatred in her eyes.
When Jun Wuxie was besieged and killed, he almost lost his soul. On the surface, it seemed that the five major forces in the ancient divine world had joined forces to do it. But based on certain clues, it can be inferred that it is almost certain that there was a shadow of the Soul Hunting Palace behind it, and it was they who promoted and planned it. all of these.
"Brother Wuxie, in addition to the Soul Hunting Palace, there is also the Tianjing Sect that needs to be vigilant. On the surface, this sect plays the role of maintaining order in the world. In fact, it is not that simple. They should have other purposes."
"The only supreme master in this world, Tianjing Sect?" Jun Wuxie said in surprise: "Why do you say that?"
Yueyao said that many major sects in the world do not exist independently. There are certain origins and connections between sects from all walks of life, especially those sects that have existed for endless years.
Such as the Soul Hunting Palace, such as the Tianjing Sect.
There is the Tianjing Sect in this world, there is the Tianjing Shengsect in the upper world, and there is the Tianjing Shengsong in the ancient world!
The Shenyue Clan has been dealing with the Tianjing Shen Sect since ancient times, and found that their existence is inconsistent with the sect's superficial philosophy. In some major events, there seems to be a shadow of the Tianjing Shen Sect.
In this world, the Tianjing Sect prides itself on maintaining order in the world, but over the years, Xilin has slaughtered the world, and the Black Demon Sect and the Soul Hunting Hall have openly participated in the war between mortal countries, but the Tianjing Sect has not stepped forward to stop it.
"Tianjing Sect is not a good thing, I have known it for a long time. But listening to what you said, the purpose of this sect's existence is somewhat intriguing. If they are to maintain order in the world, they cannot remain silent; if they are... For the sake of grand hegemony, with their strength, they should have been able to rule the world for so long!”
Jun Wuxie thought of the predicament the Meitong tribe encountered.
Tianjing Sect is trying to devour the Mei Tong clan.
Do they want to dominate the world of cultivation?
I'm afraid that's not the real purpose. Otherwise, why wait until now?
Dark catastrophes will occur in every era. At that time, the dominant forces in the world are in turmoil. Some of them are directly destroyed, and those that can survive are just lingering.
Tianjing Sect was able to resist the torrent of darkness every time. At that time, they could easily control the entire cultivation world.
But in fact, they didn't do that.
This is why everyone in the world believes that they represent justice and protect the order of the world.
The truth, is this really the case?
Jun Wuxie realized that there should be a deeper unknown secret, and that secret was the real purpose of their existence!
…
The ancient city of Southern Territory is a long way away.
High-end carriages traveled in the air without stopping for several days.
In the past few days, Jun Wuxie helped Ling Fei suppress the evil spirit of darkness in her body.
He found that the evil of darkness and the power of darkness seemed very similar.
It can even be said that the Evil of Darkness is actually a dark substance derived from the power of darkness.
However, the Evil of Darkness is not as terrifying as the Power of Darkness. It is afraid of weapons and fire, but the Power of Darkness is not afraid of his weapons and fire.
Jun Wuxie combined the two flames of weapon fire and sun essence fire and achieved excellent results.
Concubine Ling's evil spirit of darkness was injured and had to hide in a corner of her body.
He wanted to help him solve it once and for all, but found it difficult to do so at the moment.
The evil spirit of darkness actually wanted to explode when faced with extreme pressure, forcing him to give up the pursuit.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for Concubine Ling to withstand such a terrifying impact given her current physical condition.
She has been sealing her own power, just to prevent the evil of darkness from growing stronger.
This time, taking advantage of the retreat of the evil spirit of darkness, with Jun Wuxie's two masculine fires shocking and suppressing her, she lifted some of the seals and released some power, returning her realm to the master level.
She told Jun Wuxie that her realm could only be gradually unlocked as his weapon fire and sun essence fire grew stronger.
Because when the seal is unsealed, as one's own realm improves, the evil of darkness will also become stronger.
When it reaches a certain level, it will exceed the limit that Jun Wuxie can suppress.
Unless his flames grow stronger, she can't continue to unseal him.
…
The ancient city of the Southern Region is in sight.
After more than half a year, he came here again.
Nothing has changed in this city.
After entering the city, they did not stop and went straight to the ancient teleportation array in the city.
There is no one guarding the ancient teleportation formation here, and no one is even using it.
When Jun Wuxie and the others arrived in front of the ancient teleportation formation, the place was empty and no one was seen.
There is a stone tablet erected next to the ancient teleportation array, which indicates how to use the teleportation array.
He took a second look and immediately understood why no one was using it.
The cities connected by this formation are at least like the ancient city of the Southern Region, and the cost of use is extremely high.
It needs to be injected with medium-grade spiritual crystals to activate.
He drove the carriage into the ancient teleportation formation and threw in some middle-grade spiritual crystals.
The runes under his feet lit up and formed a curtain of light in the air, with the names of cities one after another appearing on it.
I chose Donghuang Ancient City, and then got a prompt that the energy is insufficient, please continue to put in spiritual crystals.
He invested it piece by piece, casting all the dozens of kilograms of mid-grade spiritual crystals on his body, and then the teleportation array was fully activated.
The blazing light enveloped them, and the aura of space flowed, enveloping them and disappearing.
It feels like there are only a few breaths left.
They appeared in front of a magnificent city.
Underfoot is a huge rune formation, with a city in front, and rolling mountains on both sides and behind.
The scale of this city exceeded Jun Wuxie's imagination.
It's so big, so majestic.
The city wall is not very high, only about a hundred meters, not even as high as the city wall of the ancient city of Southern Territory.
But it gives people the impression that the eternal mountains are cutting across the front, thick and condensed.
The wall made of bluestone is covered with traces of time and is engraved with deep rune patterns, making it indestructible and unbreakable forever!
The area of the city, a rough estimate, must be thousands of miles in radius!
In the city, there are many tall buildings and wide streets extending in all directions; the streets are full of people and extremely lively and lively.
"finally reached."
Jun Wuxie stared at it for a moment, then drove into the city.
The city gate guards stood like javelins, and did not charge entry fees from those who entered the city like the ancient city in the southern region.
The headquarters of the Hunter Guild is located in this city, managing the order of the entire city.
On the street, there are rows of shops and many vendors selling a wide variety of goods.
You can hear the shouts of merchants working hard all the way.
Passers-by in twos and threes can also be heard talking to each other on the roadside and in the street.
Jun Wuxie drove the carriage on the driveway, and various sounds entered his ears. The most talked about thing he heard was that Xiao Tianming wanted to force him to fight, and that the Wanshi Ancient Academy issued the first invitation to him.
People seem to enjoy both of these things.
Along the way, his ears were almost calloused.
He stopped the carriage, soared into the sky, stood above the city, and spoke like a dragon roaring!
"Xiao Tianming, I'm here, when will you come out and die!"
The roaring sound waves from this voice spread over the city like a tidal wave, making people's ears buzz.
On the street, those who were discussing this matter all looked up with shock on their faces.
"That's... the Soldier Saint's disciple Jun Wuxie?"
"Everyone said that he would definitely not dare to come. His level is too low and he is no match for Xiao Tianming. I didn't expect that he would come so soon!"
"This man is so powerful. He shouted in public that he wanted Xiao Tianming to come out and die?"
"Both of them are madmen, it just depends on who can have the last laugh. Anyway, I'm not optimistic about Jun Wuxie."
"Both are the geniuses of the present generation, and both have grown up horribly. Who is weaker than the other in talent? Then the gap in realm is fatal!"
…
Jun Wuxie's voice could be heard for hundreds of miles around.
For a time, it caused a large-scale sensation, and the news spread like a strong wind, and soon spread throughout the entire Donghuang Ancient City.
