After deciding to leave, Luo Hong did not run away directly, but chose to appear in front of others and tell the mortals in the town the truth about this interface.
Immediately, he gave these mortals three more hours to consider whether to follow him to the Yang Realm and change their fate of being in captivity.
But it is a pity that even if Luo Hong showed enough magical methods, only a little more than 20% of the mortals in the town mustered up the courage to choose to follow him.
Luo Hong was not disappointed in this regard. He was an ordinary office worker before traveling through time, so he could understand the helplessness of these mortals.
This move was just to show his true conscience, and it didn't necessarily mean that he had to take away many people.
After bringing more than 20% of the mortals into the Netherworld Cave, Luo Hong erased the remaining mortals' memories of that day with a thought and used illusions to forge them.
In this way, the remaining mortals will only think that the missing people have gone to the capital, and they can live peacefully in the future until they are eaten by ghosts.
As soon as the light escaped, Luo Hong took Sikong Ying and flew straight to the north.
Half an hour later, they passed through the mountains where Wuzang Mountain is located and arrived above a plain.
Once here, the number of people along the way immediately increased, and a town could be passed by from time to time.
According to Sikong Ying's introduction, the northern part of this mountain range is the real land of the Daqian Dynasty. The town they were in before was the most remote place!
I don’t know what the purpose is, but the mortal dynasty under the Big-headed Ghost Kingdom is currently in its prime, and basically every household can live and work in peace and contentment.
Therefore, people all over the country loved the current emperor very much. Whenever there was a notice to recruit the Yulin Army, the local young men would enthusiastically sign up.
Of course, the situation would be the same if it were a notice recruiting palace maids, concubines, or serving boys.
Almost all mortals have been brainwashed, thinking that as long as they enter the palace, they can enjoy a lifetime of wealth!
But in fact, these people have never returned, and it won't be long before there is no news at all.
After learning about this, when Luo Hong passed by the capital of Daqian, he used his spiritual consciousness to investigate and found that only a few of the princes in the court were mortals, and the rest were man-eating ghosts!
Although he was very aware of what was happening in Daqian Capital, Luo Hong did not stay after regaining his consciousness. Instead, he flew to Molian City, Situ Ying's hometown.
"How's it going? Can you still find the location of Sikong's house?"
Luo Hong was flying over the city at this time, using the white clouds under his feet to cover his figure, and asked Sikong Ying on the side.
"More than three hundred years have passed since the younger generation moved to Xiaoyun Realm, and it is common for the family home to no longer be in its original location.
Lord Tianzun, please wait a moment while I go down to look for clues. "
Although he didn't see the Sikong family's mansion in the place he remembered, Sikong Ying didn't panic at all and asked Luo Hong with his hands raised.
"Well, go ahead."
Along the way, Sikong Ying had already told Luo Hong about their family's situation.
Compared with many other aristocratic families, the people of the Sikong family are the lucky ones, because their ancestors had a fairy fate and thus knew the truth of the world, so the people in the family can generally avoid the fate of being eaten.
More importantly, the Sikong family has the means to test spiritual roots, so that they can keep the family's immortal cultivators and let them practice secretly.
Sikong Ying was arranged by her family to fake her death before embarking on the path of cultivating immortality.
But it's a pity that she didn't have enough qualifications, so she could only practice the ghost-eating method arranged by her family.
But on the contrary, her luck was very good, and she unexpectedly received the treasures of heaven and earth that could improve her cultivation several times.
Before she fled to Xiaoyun Realm, she was already the most cultivated person in her family!
And because besides her, there is a Yuanying monk in the family, so even after more than three hundred years, she still firmly believes that the family still exists.
After waiting for only half an hour, Luo Hong saw Sikong Ying flying back.
"how?"
"We have found clues, but it's a little strange that they went to Qinglian Mountain. Something must have happened!"
Although he successfully found the hidden traces left by his family, Sikong Ying looked worried at the moment.
"What's the problem with Qinglian Mountain?"
Luo Hong asked.
"Master Tianzun doesn't know that the reason why our Sikong family has been able to inherit for more than ten thousand years is because the family has always been low-key and hidden in the mortal city.
Although there are few ghosts passing through those high mountains and deep forests, if they are unfortunately discovered by a ghost with heels, they will definitely attract high-level ghosts and bring disaster to the family!
If something big had not happened, no one in the family would have violated the ancestral precepts like this! "
Sikong Ying explained immediately.
"It is indeed a bit strange to hide in the city and hide in the wild."
Luo Hong immediately showed a look of understanding after hearing this.
Although hiding in the high mountains and deep forests can usually provide you with more freedom, you will gradually become lax, and in the end you will not be able to escape the fate of being discovered by ghosts.
And with the methods of high-level ghosts, even if the cultivating family moved away before they came to their door, they would be easily found.
But if you are hiding in a mortal city under the supervision of ghosts, although you have to be cautious at all times on weekdays, you can always hide yourself in the dark whether you are calculating or not!
"No matter what, let's take a look first."
With Luo Hong by his side, Sikong Ying felt less scrupulous and immediately started leading the way.
But just when the two left Molian City, the three Purple Heart Kings had already found the two big-headed ghost kings.
"The three fellow Taoists arrived really quickly. Come here, bring some Nascent Souls!"
Seeing the three people escaping into the palace, the Yellow Turban Ghost King immediately gave instructions to the ghosts serving on the side.
"Don't bother me. My fellow Taoist must know the purpose of my coming here. Tell us the whereabouts of that person, and I'll leave immediately!"
Upon seeing this, King Purple Heart immediately stepped forward and spoke to negotiate.
"This can't be rushed. Xu, the foreign devil, was injured in the previous battle that day and has not shown his face yet.
Therefore, we don’t know where he is hiding now.
But please rest assured, three fellow Taoists, there are restrictions all over the country. If the foreign devil tries to escape that day, he will definitely be detected! "
The Red Scarf Ghost King immediately comforted him.
"In that case, please ask the two fellow Taoists to open the forbidden area and let me go in and retreat for a few days. This will save you the trouble of entertaining me."
At this time, the Wheel King suddenly smiled and said.
"I'm afraid there's something wrong."
The Yellow Turban Ghost King frowned, feeling dissatisfied in his heart, but he only spoke hesitantly.
"Hmph! When I deal with that person, I'm also helping you get revenge. Isn't it enough to just take a little bit of Huangquan Yinfeng?!"
The King of Seven Apertures suddenly glared angrily, unleashing his aura and speaking fiercely.
After sensing this terrifying aura, the expressions of the two big-headed ghost kings instantly changed. After only supporting themselves for a moment, they couldn't help but take a step back.
"you!"
Although the pressure was greatly reduced after retreating, it was undoubtedly a loss of face for the two ghost kings.
The red scarf ghost king had a more aggressive temper and immediately shouted with an angry look on his face.
"Brother Yimei, don't be anxious. Fellow Taoist Qiqiao said it politely. Under normal circumstances, just a little underworld wind can't make the three of them take action."
The Yellow Turban Ghost King knew very well that they could not afford to offend each other. Even though the underworld in the forbidden area had taken countless years for the ghost kingdom to gather to its current scale, it was not unacceptable to spend money to avoid disasters.
"Haha, Taoist friend Four Eyes still understands the righteousness. Please send someone to lead the way."
The King of Wheels was not surprised at all by this result. The big-headed ghost country was only in the middle of the pack in terms of strength. How could it dare to offend them who were backed by top powers!
Don't say that the other party wanted to take advantage of them this time. Even if there was no such thing, now that they are here, they will definitely scrape off three ounces of flesh!
"Rabbit Lip, please accompany these three fellow Taoists on a journey."
The Yellow Turban Ghost King immediately gave instructions to a fused ghost on the side.
"Yes, Lord!"
Following the command, a big-headed ghost with a hare lip flew into the center of the hall.
After a brief salute, he took the Purple Heart King and three others and fled out.
"Brother Four Eyes, the Ghost Country only has so little wealth, how can it be so advantageous for them!"
As soon as he saw the person leaving, the Red Scarf Ghost King immediately became anxious.
"What do you think? Have a date with them?"
The Yellow Turban Ghost King immediately said angrily after hearing this.
"Hmph! Although they are powerful, this is our territory. If we wake up our ancestors"
The Red Scarf Ghost King immediately said unconvinced.
"Shut up! You want to wake up the ancestor for such a trivial matter. Do you think you have lived too long?!"
After scolding, the Yellow Turban Ghost King saw that the other party was silent, and suddenly softened his tone and said:
"It only lasts a few days, and it won't damage the foundation of the forbidden area. I'll make up for it with a few hundred more years of hard work."
"Hey! After all, this Great Yin Feng Pond is a holy land for cultivation that can only be owned by the top ghost countries. I should have expected this kind of thing.
Forget it, just think of it as feeding the dogs. "
The Red Scarf Ghost King sighed and comforted himself.
On the other side, Luo Hong, who had no intention of leaving the Big-headed Ghost Country, was now above Qinglian Mountain.
Looking down, I saw more than a dozen green peaks in the shape of lotus petals, sitting on the earth, with dense spiritual energy floating between the peaks.
If it were in the Yang Realm, this place would definitely be occupied by a sect or family that cultivates immortality, but right now.
After Luo Hong scanned with his spiritual consciousness, he discovered many mortals and monks hidden in the mountain.
"My little friend, your family has quite a lot of people!"
Counting mortals, there are at least more than 300,000 people in Qinglian Mountain. With so many people gathered together, how could it be possible to keep a low profile in the past!
"Not many, there are only a thousand or so in the clan. Wait, is it the direct lineage that issued the summoning order?!"
Halfway through the words, Sikong Ying seemed to have thought of something and immediately guessed.
"What's the truth? Just go down and ask."
Luo Hong didn't want to make any guesses here. He took Sikong Ying and silently passed through the illusory formation on a mountain peak and arrived at the mountain.
This is a quite large cave, with traces of artificial excavation in many places. Many mortals can be seen working among the many wooden frames around it, as if they are growing some kind of mushrooms.
Luo Hong immediately cast an illusion on himself, and then observed the people in the mountains with great interest. However, even if those mortals were close to him, they did not notice him at all.
After burning incense for more than a minute, Sikong Ying, who went to inquire about the news, turned back.
"Tianzun, and the younger generation guessed it right. It was the direct lineage who sent the order to gather all the Sikong family scattered in various places!"
Luo Hong nodded when he heard this. It is no exaggeration for a family to have a scale of 300,000 people after more than 10,000 years of development.
"What's the reason? Isn't it dangerous?"
Although there is an illusory formation here to block the aura, not to mention blocking the consciousness of the combined ghost, even if the Void Refining Ghost is close, clues will be discovered.
Hiding like this in the underworld where ghosts are roaming around is really too much luck!
"Every family is gathered here to help a senior from the direct lineage break through the union!"
Sikong Ying replied with excitement.
Luo Hong was a little surprised when he heard this. After all, if this is really the case, then the Sikong family is too united!
"Master Tianzun doesn't know that the reason why the family is so united is because that senior is not practicing the way of swallowing ghosts, but the orthodox immortal way!"
Sikong Ying couldn't help but clenched her fists as she spoke. It was obvious that this difference was of great significance to her.
When Luo Hong heard this, he understood because Sikong Ying had mentioned to him before that the immortal cultivators in his family would follow two immortal paths based on their qualifications.
One is that the cultivation level is extremely fast, but the process is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fall into the ghost way of swallowing ghosts.
The other one is the ordinary immortal path of practicing the Five Elements Kung Fu, which rarely leads to obsession, but progresses very slowly.
Since there are very few immortal cultivators with good qualifications, most of the immortal cultivators in the Sikong family are ghost-swallowing cultivators.
This arrangement is semi-mandatory within the Sikong family. The family will not force you to swallow ghosts, but will first explain the pros and cons to you, and then cut off the supply of normal immortality.
If you are stubborn, you can collect resources and practice normal immortality by yourself.
But in fact, no tribesman would choose this way, because in the early stage of practicing the way of swallowing ghosts, the cultivation level increased too fast!
Moreover, with the suppression of the Yang-Returning Pill refined by the Five Elements Immortal Dao monks, there is almost no need to worry about the backlash of the evil spirits in the body at the beginning of practice.
However, swallowing ghosts is a road of no return. Even if the practitioner slacks off, the evil ghosts in the body will continue to grow stronger.
Therefore, if you want to survive, practitioners have to keep "racing" with them!
But no matter how hard they try, the ghost-swallowing monks of the Sikong family will not have a happy death in the end.
Because the higher their cultivation level, the higher-level Yang-Returning Pill they need. However, Yang-attributed spiritual materials are very rare in the underworld. The only way is to use the true fire in the bodies of orthodox monks to refine the elixir, and then refine it. A higher level Yang Huan Dan.
Therefore, the upper limit of the cultivation level of the orthodox monks in the Sikong family determines the upper limit of the cultivation level of the ghost-swallowing monks.
Now that the first orthodox monk in the integration stage has appeared, it means that the Sikong family will have a large number of ghost-eating monks in the integration stage, and their strength will be greatly improved!
If you are lucky, a short-lived Mahayana can be born among these ghost-swallowing monks with combined cultivation.
In this way, the Sikong family can even attack some little ghost countries and seize their territory!
Of course, this is just talk. If they really make such a big noise, they will be eaten soon!
"I see. If there are really many fusion monks sitting in charge, then it would be safe for them to live in seclusion here."
Luo Hong immediately understood the Sikong family's choice.
"That's right! There are indeed many talented people in the direct lineage!"
Sikong Ying knew the importance of Huanyang Pill. She took the risk to sneak into the Ghost Kingdom just to collect the medicine, and ended up in danger and living in Xiaoyun Realm.
Therefore, she felt quite empathetic at the moment.
However, when she thought about it, the excited look on her face immediately darkened.
