Everyone also has the same idea in their hearts. Shouldn’t Immortal Burial Valley and the cave of Qingming Sword Immortal be a paradise with beautiful mountains and clear waters and abundant spiritual energy?
How could it be a dead city!
"Master Lei, this city is so huge, where should we go?" asked the third-ranked leader of the Lieyang Sect.
Lei Zhentian pondered for a moment, looked back at the team, and said, "Otherwise, we will divide into four teams and explore in four directions."
The head of the Lieyang Sect nodded and said: "Okay. With so many people together, it will be difficult to move, so it is better to separate."
Lei Zhentian looked at the master of Daoxuan Sect and the fourth-ranked master of Wanxiang Sect and said, "How about each of our four families lead a team?"
The masters of Daoxuan Sect and Wanxiang Sect each nodded in agreement.
"fair enough."
After Lei Zhentian finished speaking, he turned to look at everyone, pointed at several sects at random, and said, "The people here are following me to search eastward."
After saying that, he looked at the other three sect leaders: "You also pick a group of people, and we will set off immediately."
"Okay." The three sect leaders nodded in agreement, and then each picked a team and a direction.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Qin Fan's Lingjian Sect was chosen by Lei Zhentian.
A total of twenty sects came in, and now there are five sects in each group. There are only a few dozen people left out of the hundreds.
In this empty immortal city, dozens of people seemed extremely small.
Lei Zhentian glanced at everyone and said: "Everyone, cheer up, follow me closely, and don't fall behind. Also, don't touch anything you encounter. If you find anything, please inform me immediately."
"clear!"
Everyone answered one after another.
Lei Zhentian's eyes suddenly glanced at Qin Fan inadvertently, but he didn't stop for too long and said: "Let's go."
Everyone walked along the road and explored towards the east.
Along the way, Qin Fan found that the buildings on both sides of the road were well preserved, and even some of the stalls were still in their original appearance.
However, what puzzled him was that most of these were wooden attics. According to the thousand-year history of Immortal Burial Valley, they could still be completely preserved to this day. Even the stalls in front of the attic doors are well preserved.
This really violates the laws of natural birth and death in the universe.
"It's so weird here! These buildings are so well preserved. Are these really buildings from thousands of years ago?" Someone also discovered this problem and asked.
However, no one could give him an answer.
Everyone continued to move forward, and because they found nothing unusual, their speed became faster.
However, this city seems to be ridiculously big, with no end visible at a glance.
Chen Yao frowned slightly and asked: "Dad, didn't you say that many people entered the Immortal Burial Valley to explore before? Why are there no traces here?"
"If those people were killed, at least there would be signs of a fight!"
Lao Mo also thought about this problem, but no one knew what the situation was at that time.
"Let's go further and have a look." Lao Mo replied.
"Yes." Chen Yao nodded. Even if she was full of doubts, no one could answer her at the moment.
After walking forward for another half an hour, I finally saw something different ahead.
Someone immediately shouted: "We have finally reached the end. There seems to be a square in front of us. Let's go and have a look!"
Lei Zhentian said loudly: "Everyone, speed up and see what's ahead."
Everyone ran along the road and soon came to the end of the road, and then everyone was stunned.
In front of him is a huge square, probably as big as ten football fields.
The square is full of human remains and bones, like a purgatory on earth.
"Ah! How many people died here?" Some timid women exclaimed in fright.
Chen Yao also had a pale face and grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands.
They have all seen dead people, even if dozens or hundreds of people die, it is still a small scene to these warriors.
However, the scene before them still frightened them all.
On the square, it can be said that the road is paved with bones. There are at least ten skulls every meter apart.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Looking around, the entire square is like this.
It’s hard to imagine how many people died here, tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Even, millions!
Even Lei Zhentian and other sect leaders couldn't help but gasp.
"Who do these bones belong to? Are they the people in this city?" someone asked.
There are so many skeletons, even if all the people who have explored Immortal Burial Valley over the years are added together, it is still not enough.
The only people who can explain it are the people in the city.
"Look, everyone, many bones here have been trampled to pieces. Someone must have fought here." A careful sect leader pointed to a pile of bones and debris in the square and said.
Everyone observed carefully and immediately discovered many signs of fighting.
Lei Zhentian said: "It can be judged from these fighting marks that there must have been a very fierce battle here, and the strength of both parties was extraordinary."
At this time, a voice suddenly came: "Sect Master Lei, is it you?"
Lei Zhentian stared into the distance and saw several small black dots moving across the square.
"It's the leader of Lieyang Sect!" Lei Zhentian was a little surprised.
At this time, from another direction in the square, the voice of the master of Daoxuan Sect came: "Sect Master Lei, Sect Master Qi, are everyone okay?"
The voice of the leader of the Wanxiang Sect also sounded: "It seems that all these roads lead to this square."
"It's so strange that we can reach the same end point despite going in opposite directions!"
However, before everyone could think about this issue, someone pointed to the middle of the square and exclaimed: "Look, everyone, what is that?"
In the middle of the huge square, on the ground covered with bones, a small tree about half a man tall stood abruptly.
Because it's so far away, it's almost impossible to spot it without looking carefully.
"That seems to be...a tree!"
"Oh my god, why is there a tree here!"
"Sect Master Lei, do you want to go over and have a look?" Everyone looked forward to it, and they were not afraid even if they faced numerous bones.
Lei Zhentian nodded: "Go and have a look."
People from other directions obviously also discovered the tree. When they saw Lei Zhentian and others starting to walk towards the middle of the square, they all followed and gathered towards the middle of the square.
The warrior used his true energy to protect his body, and the bones were bounced away by the true energy, creating a clean passage.
Soon, everyone came to the middle of the square and took a closer look at the tree.
From a distance, it looks like a small tree, no more than a small piece of grass. But when you get closer, it turns out to be quite big.
The small tree is more than half a person tall, and its trunk is only a dozen centimeters thick. It has five branches in total, four of which are covered with green leaves. The last one is bare and seems to have been broken.
"It's a living tree!"
someone exclaimed.
So far, it's the only living thing they've found, even though it's just a tree.
The master of Daoxuan Sect looked at Lei Zhentian and asked doubtfully: "Sect Master Lei, why is there a tree here?"
