The city gate behind him closed again after a loud bang. However, it did not attract the attention of any of the monks who had left the city.
In addition to the original members of the demon tribe, the newly joined monks in the vast team looked left and right, observing the towering black city walls on both sides.
I don't know if it's due to the formation or the illusion, but at a glance, the city wall goes straight up, as if it is connected to the cliff above the head, and disappears into the darkness that cannot be traced by the eyes.
This made the monk who originally wanted to escape feel sad.
However, there were also a few cultivators who did not believe in evil and rushed out of the team. After filling their hands and feet with spiritual power, they tried to climb along the smooth wall. Some even took out their own flying magic weapons and wanted to fly directly over here.
Unfortunately, these people's wishes were shattered one by one.
The person who was trying to climb the city wall had just touched the wall with his hands. He screamed in surprise and turned into a skinny mummy. All the spiritual energy and flesh and blood in his body were absorbed by the city wall and became nutrients.
As for the monks who tried to escape with flying magic weapons, after flying upward into the darkness, everyone soon heard a scream, and then there was no movement, and even the corpses did not fall down.
The tragic situation of these people obviously shocked the newly arrived slaves and made the remaining monks stop thinking about escaping.
Gao Yan, who was still leaning on Luan Jia, had been paying attention to the movements behind him. When he saw that most of the monks looked frightened and uneasy, he couldn't help but sneer in a low voice.
However, when his consciousness swept over the light blue man and the spiritual chef that he was interested in, Gao Yan looked at the calm faces of the two men and raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he should be like this.
This is how the person he chooses should be.
After scanning for a week, Gao Yan immediately looked away.
Now that it has had the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, it is expected that this group of people will become more peaceful. Gao Yan thought so.
A total of 76 monks were selected for this trip. Now after excluding the suicide seekers and the spiritual cook, there are still 70 people left, which should be enough.
At the back of the team, Yu Wan, who was at the end of the queue, kept his consciousness out, paying attention to everything around him.
When she faintly felt the formation hidden on the city wall, she knew that the city's defense strength should not be underestimated. Then, those few people took the lead, making her even more aware that there were indeed dangers outside Dongshi.
It seemed that He Yun's warning before was indeed groundless.
Recalling He Yun's last warning to him, Yu Wan slowly approached the city wall with his consciousness, wanting to take a closer look.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, when he felt the probing gaze coming from the front, Yu Wan immediately withdrew his consciousness, his face expressionless, his eyes staring straight ahead, and he quietly followed the footsteps of the team.
She could feel the gaze walking around the team for a week, and finally stayed around her for a moment before taking it back.
However, the first pause...
After retracting that spiritual consciousness, Yu Wan secretly released his spiritual consciousness forward, wanting to see who else besides herself had attracted the attention of the young demon master.
Recalling the interval between when his consciousness paused and the time it took to reach him, Yu Wan finally confirmed a vague range.
There were three people inside, including a female cultivator with bright red hair and a male cultivator with two rows of symmetrical black spikes on his forehead.
Between them was a male cultivator wearing a light blue robe.
Because he didn't dare to get close, Yu Wan didn't notice anything unusual about this male cultivator. But she inexplicably thought of one person, Ling Yu who was standing behind her that day.
In order not to alarm the surroundings, he only glanced quickly, and Yu Wan immediately withdrew his gaze.
During the next section of the journey, she observed the structure of the city walls on both sides, hoping to discover the weaknesses of the formation. He stared straight ahead with both eyes, observing the direction of the team's progress.
I saw the team turning left and right along the way, walking leisurely in a maze-like place surrounded by city walls on both sides, and I didn't know when they would arrive.
After walking for more than an hour, just when she was wondering why she hadn't seen the Xingtian Mansion in the center for so long, Yu Wan felt a flash in front of her eyes, and the surrounding scenery changed rapidly.
The ink-black city wall that plunged straight to the top of the cliff disappeared, and instead there was a quiet and spacious street, with snow-white houses at the end of the line of sight.
There should be formation protection all around, and the consciousness was bounced back as soon as it was probed not far away. Yu Wan felt the softness under her feet, and when she lowered her head, she saw more than an inch of black grass.
The grass stretched straight into the distance, and she couldn't help but guess that the ground in the West City was like this. On the surface of the dense black grass, the condition of the soil below is completely invisible. Even spiritual consciousness cannot penetrate it.
At this time, the monks who came here for the first time were very shocked. They looked around, trying to find evidence that they were still in Huancheng. However, the demon cultivator among them seemed not to be surprised.
Bian Wan bent down to check the ground under his feet. Yangdanzi behind him cheered and threw himself on the grass and rolled a few times.
Judging from the expression on his face, he was obviously very nostalgic and relaxed.
The team stayed in place for a moment, and soon continued to move slowly. Not long after, Yu Wan and the other three who were at the rear of the team also passed through the formation and entered the group of white houses they had just seen when they arrived.
"Xianzi Yu, please come with me."
As soon as he entered the formation, Yu Wan saw Gao Wu waiting nearby. After knowing the reason why he was waiting here, Jiang Di and Yang Danzi behind Yu Wandong nodded, and at the same time handed out a transmission note marked with their spiritual power and handed it to Jiang Di.
Watching Yang Danzi harass Jiang Di along the way, she also knew that the two were basically inseparable.
At this time, I took out a transmission note to facilitate positioning. After I know the other party's position, I can directly transmit the sound transmission.
As for the person to hand it over to, he would definitely choose Jiang Di, who seemed more reliable.
After saying goodbye, Yu Wan followed Gao Wu to his residence.
"I didn't expect the fairy to make two good friends so quickly."
Because of the friendship between two cups of tea, Gao Wu also got acquainted with Yu Wan and joked on the way.
"It's just delicious." Yu Wan dismissed it in one sentence.
"If there is good food in the future, please fairy, please don't forget me."
"There's never been anything bad here." After finishing speaking, he smiled slightly and added, "Welcome to come and have a meal."
Gao Wu felt a little embarrassed when he saw this. He put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, then turned to talk about the situation here.
"Fairy must have never seen this kind of house." After saying that, Yu Wan nodded, and he continued, "This is called Qionglu. This is the kind of house we live in in Fengxi Grassland."
"I'm really not used to living in a mansion that's so hard under my feet like the one in East Market. Although it's not as good as our prairie here in West Market, it's still more comfortable."
Seeing Yu Wan looking at the snow-white bedding outside Qionglu, he continued to explain, "This is sheep felt, which is unique to our sheep tribe... Gao's sheep felt is particularly famous..."
After walking and chatting for about two seconds, Gao Wu stopped in a large open space. There were two domes on the right side, one big and one small.
Without waiting to ask, Gao Wu quickly explained clearly.
"This is the fairy's residence. The big one is the dining room, and the smaller one is the fairy's resting place."
As he said that, Gao Wu raised his hand and pointed to the northwest. It was empty and there was nothing there.
"There is a pasture there, and there are some lambs in a pen. Fairy, please come with me."
After walking forward for a while, Gao Wu made a secret with his right hand and shot a spiritual light into the jade sign at his waist. The next moment, the two of them entered the flock.
The sheep here are of two colors, white as snow and black as coal.
Sensing the difference here, Yu Wan turned around and found that the city wall that had just disappeared had reappeared.
Yu Wan entered from outside the city, so he naturally knew that this was the outer city wall of Wancheng. But to avoid suspicion, she pretended to be confused and turned to look at Gao Wu.
"this……"
Gao Wu smiled and said, "This is outside the city. The pasture is in the northwest of Huancheng."
"Fairy, remember the spell command just now, and you can come here directly with the jade token in the future." Gao Wu said, the smile on his face disappeared and became serious, "But although we can leave the city from here, we can't go there again. outside world."
"Fairy, please remember that once you try to break out from here, you will immediately activate the killing array here. There will be no corpses left within the killing array."
"Even if you can escape from the formation by luck, the outside is connected to the underworld and it is a dead end. I also hope that the fairy will not take any risky actions."
After the words fell, the atmosphere between the two became visibly stagnant. However, it didn't mean that Gao Wu responded late, and Gao Wu burst out laughing.
"Forgive me, Fairy. This is a warning that newcomers must listen to. I was also shocked by this when I first arrived."
"By the way, the young master has an order. There will be guests coming in 7 days. I also ask the fairy to prepare a banquet in addition to the grass tea that night to facilitate the reception of the guests."
"If there are any missing ones, just ask the fairy. All the spiritual sheep here are for the fairy's use."
"Don't worry." Yu Wan nodded and replied to Gao Wu with only two words.
Because Gao Wu still had something to do, he reported the location of Gao Yan's residence and left.
Since there was still time, Yu Wan was not in a hurry to make grass tea and continued to stay at this pasture for a while.
At this moment, she was staring at the sheep on the pasture, but she actually opened some of the spirit animal bags and was communicating with Hu Fuwei's spiritual consciousness.
"Fu Wei, do you think the formation here can be broken through?"
"Sister, I have come in here from the outside, and there is a weak point on the westernmost side. But if I want to open it from the inside, I have to try first."
"There's no rush, we'll come back in a few days."
After investigating, Yu Wan left. As soon as she walked to her dome, she discovered that the transmission talisman she had sent out every so often had returned.
After entering the spiritual light, a strange voice came from inside, "Fellow Taoist Yu, the third quarter of the ugly hour, the northwest corner."
As soon as the voice fell, the transmission note spontaneously ignited without any wind. Yu Wan raised his eyebrows and looked behind him, what a coincidence.
Then she entered Gao Wukou's dining room as if nothing had happened and started preparing today's green herbal tea.
In the evening, the sky was dark. After returning from delivering green herbal tea, Yu went straight into the small dome hut.
After entering, I discovered that there is a different cave. This place looks small from the outside, but in fact it has a hall for entertaining guests, a training room, an alchemy workshop, and even a square space next to the hall with tables and stools of the Eight Immortals.
Looking at the incompatible Eight Immortals table in the same room, Yu Wan guessed that it was added separately considering his status as spiritual chef.
His consciousness scanned the space inside the house and found nothing unusual. But Yu Wan still added an extra layer of formation, which was the commonly used seven-star defensive formation.
Then she released Hu Fuwei and Heng Ha and let the two beasts run around, while she sat at the top of the hall, drinking apricot wine and thinking about Chiang Kai-shek's intention of coming here.
In such a hurry, what on earth does he want to do?
