Chapter 371: On the Road
Chapter 371: On the Road
Fu Yun Shan in order to avoid a Jindan middle stage demonic beast, launched a recluse to escape, but on the way to escape, hit a space crack that was opening and closing.
A wisp of strong wind blowing out from the rift hadn’t even touched her body yet, giving her the deathly shadow of having her soul torn apart.
Almost relying on her escape instinct, she avoided the life-threatening wisp of astral wind.
The two of them encountered the spatial rift several more times after that, narrowly escaping being left there forever.
In the end, it was only after moving away from that area that they were out of danger.
After receiving Zhuge Yun’s voice transmission, the two of them discerned the direction and headed in the direction of the outside of the valley.
Half a day later, the four finally met up again, and after seeing Xu Chuniang’s cultivation, Zhuge Yun’s eyelids lifted slightly.
Her cultivation level had broken through, arriving at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment.
“Congratulations senior sister. It’s just that this is not the place to talk, it’s better to talk while walking.”
Xu Chuniang naturally had no objections and continued walking towards the outside.
“Did that black-robed old man only say that he wanted us to wait in the north of the city five days later?”
Zhuge Yun nodded, “Yes, and told us to follow his guidelines at that time.”
Several people agreed with his words, the other party had great intentions and was cautious, so naturally they would not place all their hopes on the four of them.
The mood of the four people in the group tightened up, after falling into the False Realm, they appeared to be emotionally calm, in reality, it was only because of what the black-robed old man had said that they had suppressed all of their agitation.
Although the other party might not be trustworthy, they didn’t seem to have a better way other than trusting him and letting go.
To sit and wait for their lifespan to pass in this False Realm was something that the four of them could not endure no matter what.
Therefore, even if they knew that what the black-robed old man was doing was extremely dangerous, they could only go on with their heads.
Five days later, the four went to the north of the city as promised, and after waiting for two hours witheringly, Zhuge Yun received new instructions to go all the way north.
The black-robed old man was very cautious, and did not even show up in person, only passing notes with messages coming in from time to time, guiding the four as they traveled.
It wasn’t until three days later, completely far away from that cultivator’s city, that several people met that black-robed old man.
He swept a glance at the few people and nodded slightly, a satisfied look on his face, “Not bad, you guys have indeed come.”
Although they didn’t come, he also had the means to tell the few people to be obedient, but that would always be more trouble.
The black-robed old man led them to the temporary stronghold, “Rest and recuperate here for a few days, there will be others coming over.”
This stronghold had about fifty to sixty Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, and even a Jindan cultivator like the black-robed old man had a full five people.
They were dressed in black robes and sat in the southeast, northwest, and north of the stronghold.
It was both like protection for the stronghold and some kind of supervision.
The temporary stronghold, naturally, could not be said to be comfortable, it was just some humble caves that had been opened up temporarily, spread out in a messy manner.
Some cultivators didn’t even have a cave, and only used formations to protect themselves.
Fu Yun Shan frowned, but did not say anything more, silently watched Zhuge Yun find a corner with fewer people and open up a humble cave.
The four of them waited here for a few days, and sure enough, from time to time, they could see that there were scattered cultivators joining the stronghold.
Some of them came voluntarily, while others were reluctant, with various restrictions on their bodies, having been taken by those Jindan cultivators by force. The four of them observed this scene, their hearts were all in awe, even if they hadn’t promised that black-robed old man in the first place, I’m afraid that he wouldn’t let it go.
“Hehe, I know what you guys are thinking, but they are not like you guys.”
The black-robed old man noiselessly appeared in front of the four, glancing at them with interest.
“They don’t know how to behave, so naturally, they can only act as pawns. But you several people, I have high hopes.”
Seeing that a few people didn’t believe him, he didn’t have the heart to explain, after all, before they left alive, there wasn’t much difference with those pawns.
The black-robed old man’s figure disappeared, followed by a divine thought that spread throughout the stronghold.
“The hour has come, prepare to be on your way.”
The four of them walked out of the cave and found that the cultivators in the entire stronghold were already fully loaded and ready to go, and those cultivators whose bodies had been placed under the forbidden system looked unsightly and as if they had lost their lives, and were forced to move forward under the pressure of the Jindan cultivators.
All over their bodies, they exuded a strong sense of resistance and dawdled.
“These people have gone too far, relying on their Jindan stage cultivation, they dare to humiliate us like this.”
“Yes, in this False Realm, the Evil Eye Beast had explicitly decreed that higher-ranked cultivators were not allowed to strike at lower-ranked cultivators at will, and they have blatantly violated this rule!”
Another cultivator didn’t feel amused at the words and turned his head to look at the several people contemptuously.
“You people actually deserve to be called cultivators? The cultivation world uses cultivation level to determine respect and inferiority, and it’s not a matter of course for a Jindan to drive away a Foundation Establishment. Still hanging on to the will of that Evil Eye Beast, how ridiculous.”
Those few people immediately turned red.
“What do you know? You guys are highly gifted and naturally don’t understand the suffering of those of us who cultivate. We were lucky to be able to build a base, and the stream of cultivation has long since come to an end.”
“With this amount of cultivation, we are also being oppressed in the outside world, although the False Realm Evil Eye Beast took us captive, it didn’t harm our lives, instead, it allowed us to feel at ease and stay here, I feel that this place is better than the outside world instead.”
“We were living well in the Pseudo Realm, what’s the point of being taken captive for no reason?”
The more these people spoke, the angrier they became, most of them were casual cultivators who were not doing as well as they would have liked in the Cultivation Realm, and it was extremely difficult for them to survive.
By mistake, they entered the Pseudo Realm, and after experiencing the initial fear and trepidation, they fell in love with this place.
Here, high-ranking cultivators were not allowed to act as they wished; instead, the low-ranking cultivators were protected by the Evil Eye Beasts.
Compared to the days of constant fear in the outside world, life in the Pseudo Realm was like a dream.
The long years of comfortable life in the Pseudo Realm had made these cultivators completely lose their desire for the outside world, and they even felt that it would be good for them to stay here to spread their wings and enjoy their life.
That was why they had such strong opinions when they were inexplicably kidnapped.
The grievances of being kidnapped were so great that the speed was getting slower and slower, even seriously affecting the speed of traveling.
The Jindan cultivator in the lead detected the movement and his brows were slightly cold.
He curled his fingers and flicked them, sending out several golden auras towards the back.
Those golden awns seemed to have eyes, heading straight towards the cultivators who were making the most noise, and silently disappearing into their eyebrows.
Then he saw that those few cultivators, who were still filled with righteous indignation in the last moment, suddenly fell to the ground and lost all their voices.
When the rest of the surrounding cultivators saw this scene, all of them were chilled to the core, this group of Jindan cultivators had openly made a move in the middle of the False Realm!
