Heaven's Gate Town.
It was located at the periphery of the Tian Ji Sect and was close to the borders of the Ming Han Empire. Thus, this place had always been bustling with activity. Although it was a small town, it was often visited by cultivators and merchants. Coupled with the protection of the Tian Ji Sect, this small town was slowly developing into a low grade cultivation city.
But after Tian Ji Sect was annihilated, all of this disappeared like a bubble.
There were many horse bandits around the Tian Ji Mountain Range. Besides these horse bandits, the commercial trade was monopolized by the Ming Han Tian Merchant Alliance, which was stationed at the Tian Ji Sect. Ordinary merchants would be courting death if they tried to steal goods from this place.
At this moment, a flying car magic treasure landed on the outskirts of Heaven's Gate Town. Four people alighted from the flying car. These four people were Pu Qian and co. who were ordered by Mo Wuji to return to Heaven's Gate Town to wait for him. However, when they walked into the Heaven's Gate Town, they were all stunned by the scene.
Heaven's Gate Town was practically in ruins. Corpses that had not completely rotted could be seen on the streets. The small town that used to be bustling was now like hell, sinister and terrifying.
"This group of animals." Sang Yiping clenched her fists and said angrily.
Pu Qian subconsciously grabbed his mace and said in a low voice, "A bunch of beasts indeed."
The few of them were speechless. Could Tianji Town be rebuilt after becoming like this? Even if it was rebuilt, would anyone dare to come to this place?
After a few minutes, a shrill scream woke the four of them up. A caravan rushed over in a panic. Behind this caravan, there were dozens of mounted gangsters waving their broadswords in pursuit. A mounted bandit caught up to a girl who was slightly slower. With a swing of his saber, the bandit beheaded her, and she rolled far away.
"It's Ming Han Empire's Twenty-Sixth Prince, Bei Fangjian's men. What should we do?" Nie Zhengnong gripped his sword tightly as the veins on his hand popped out.
Ming Han Empire's Bei Fangjian had forcefully rented Tian Ji Sect's secondary summits and had always been committing crimes in the periphery of Tian Ji Sect. As a disciple of Tian Ji Sect, Nie Zhengnong was all too familiar with this.
Without waiting for Sang Yiping to speak, Pu Qian sneered, "What should we do? Sect Leader Shixiong had already ordered us to kill them all. "
After finishing his sentence, Pu Qian had already charged into the group of horse bandits.
Sang Yiping said with bloodshot eyes, "Of course we will listen to head senior brother and kill them all."
Without the need for Sang Yiping and the rest to rush over, Pu Qian was like a tiger in a flock of sheep. His mace created waves of elemental energy and the charging horse bandits were like dumplings being thrown into a pot, falling from their horses onto the ground.
In merely ten breaths of time, the tens of horse bandits were all killed by Pu Qian.
Only then did the group of merchants who had just escaped from death stop, still in a state of shock. A middle-aged man dressed in brown linen clothes walked in front of Pu Qian and kneeled on the ground, "Thank you immortal master for saving my life."
When the surviving merchants saw the man kneel down, they all knelt down to thank the Immortal Master for saving their lives. Although everyone's eyes were filled with the sorrow of losing a family member and friend, they didn't dare to show it.
Sang Yiping walked over and said, "You guys can get up."
"Yes." These people were all ordinary peddlers. Although there were a few cultivators who had reached the Transcending Mortality Stage, in front of real cultivators, they were just like ants.
"Where are you from? Don't they know that Tian Ji Sect has been exterminated? And you still dare to trade here? "Sang Yiping asked a few questions in a row.
The middle-aged merchant sighed, "We were originally merchants from the Ming Han Empire. My name is Fang Zhangxu. After the Tian Ji Sect incident, we haven't used this trade route for a year. This time, we came here with the mentality that we were lucky. Over ten of us came together, but we didn't expect that something would happen. When we came, we had over 200 people. Now, there are only 50 to 60 of us left. "
There was an even more important reason that he didn't say. To ordinary peddlers like them, without the protection of an immortal master, they would only exist in the cracks. If they didn't do international business for a long time, they would quickly disappear into the vast sea of business. To be able to not use this trade route for a year was already considered a very long time.
Sang Yiping muttered to herself, "I'm from Tian Ji Sect. Our Tian Ji Sect's new sect head is preparing to rebuild Tian Ji Sect, and at the same time, rebuild Heaven's Gate Town …"
Before Sang Yiping could finish, Fang Zhangxu's face revealed a look of surprise. Not only Fang Zhangxu, the rest of the people also had a look of surprise on their faces.
When Pu Qian and co. saw this, they sighed inwardly. Almost all of these peddlers had just been killed, and among those who were killed, there were definitely their relatives and friends. But when they heard that Tian Ji Sect was going to be rebuilt, they were so happy. Clearly, this trade route was where their survival depended on. Without this trade route, even if they weren't killed by the horse bandits, they still wouldn't be able to survive. With the protection of Tian Ji Sect, at least they could survive.
Whether it was a cultivator or a mortal, survival was always difficult. For a cultivator to cultivate, it was difficult to find cultivation resources. For a mortal to survive, it was difficult to find food.
"Many thanks immortal master. Because of Tian Ji Sect, we were able to survive. If immortal master needs any help in rebuilding Tian Ji Sect, please let us know. "Fang Zhangxu and the rest of the peddlers knelt down once again.
"Senior apprentice brother Pu, what do you think we should do?" Sang Yiping turned to look at Pu Qian. Since the head senior apprentice brother wasn't here, Pu Qian was the strongest here.
Pu Qian waved his hand and said, "Junior apprentice sister Yiping, I'll leave these matters to you. I only know how to fight, I don't know anything else."
When Sang Yiping heard this, she turned to Fang Zhangxu and co. once again and said, "Now that we've killed so many horse bandits, if you continue to advance, there's a high chance that you'll be hunted down by the horse bandits. I suggest that you stay in Heaven's Gate Town temporarily, and help us tidy up Heaven's Gate Town. Wait for our head senior apprentice brother to arrive, then we'll discuss further. "
"We'll listen to immortal master's words." Fang Zhangxu and co. did not have any objections.
Just like what Sang Yiping said, the horse bandits that were chasing after them had already been exterminated. The horse bandits would definitely send people out to investigate. Once they were discovered, it didn't matter if they advanced or retreated, they would definitely die. And their only request, was to survive.
Fang Zhangxu even said, "Immortal masters, please leave the clean-up of Heaven's Gate Town to us. We will definitely clear this place, and we can even rebuild it. "
He was very clear that the horse bandits would not give up, and would definitely start all over again. These immortal masters needed to think of a way to deal with the horse bandits. They were merchants, so they should be helping the Tian Ji Sect immortal masters to clean up Heaven's Gate Town.
Sang Yiping nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble the few of you. After the Heaven's Gate Town is rebuilt, all of you can choose a shop in Heaven's Gate Town as a gift from my Tian Ji Sect."
Fang Zhangxu and co. agreed obediently; they really did not care about the shops in Heaven's Gate Town. Even if the Tian Ji Sect rebuilt Heaven's Gate Town, there would still be horse bandits coming over. They could borrow the Tian Ji Sect's help, and use this trade route, but staying in Heaven's Gate Town was not a wise choice.
After waiting for the merchants to drive their carriages into Heaven's Gate Town, Sang Yiping then said, "We killed those horse bandits, but the horse bandits' lair would definitely not let this go. Let's first come up with a plan, and at least wait until head senior brother arrives. "
Pu Qian said nonchalantly, "It's just a bunch of horse bandits. If one comes, we'll kill one, if two comes, we'll kill a pair. When head senior brother arrives, we'll kill our way over."
…
On the plaza in front of the Heaven Seeking Palace's Heaven Seeking Staircase, with the help of healing pills, Lei Hongji's broken leg had already recovered. He lifted his head to look at the Heaven Seeking Staircase, and he could feel the many shocked and admiring gazes; his heart was filled with satisfaction.
Unfortunately, there was a problem with the Heaven Seeking Board, otherwise, he, Lei Hongji, would be number one on the Heaven Seeking Board.
Just at this moment, a flying sword pierced through the air and landed. Only a non-offensive flying messenger sword would be able to pierce through the Heaven Seeking Palace's mountain protection array. Evidently, this flying sword was a flying messenger sword.
Everyone looked towards the flying messenger sword; this flying messenger sword had landed in Lei Hongji's hands.
Lei Hongji grabbed the flying messenger sword suspiciously, and retrieved a short letter. Immediately, his entire body started trembling.
"Hongji, what's the matter?" Xu Chihuang, who had been paying close attention to the few geniuses, walked over; he was especially concerned about Lei Hongji. This lightning spiritual roots cultivator had given him a huge surprise; he believed that this lightning spiritual roots cultivator would shine brighter and brighter in the Zhen Mo Continent, and in the future, he would definitely have a place on the Universal Board.
Seeing that it was the Immortal King, Lei Hongji hurriedly bowed respectfully; he endured the pain and said, "My Lei Clan was exterminated not too long ago; not even a single woman or child was spared."
Xu Chihuang frowned slightly, and immediately asked, "Do you want to go back and take revenge?"
Lei Hongji took in a deep breath, and said word by word, "I already know who the enemy is. I will head to the Zhen Mo Continent with the Zhen Mo Continent's seniors. One day, I will definitely return."
He indeed knew who the enemy was; it was written very clearly on the flying messenger sword; he saw a group of Tian Ji Sect disciples killing their way into the Yu Lin Lei Clan. If he went back now, he might not be able to find these people, but even if he did, he would have wasted a lot of time. Zhen Mo Continent's Special Envoy Xia definitely wouldn't wait for him; this was his intuition.
Xu Chihuang nodded his head in satisfaction, "Very good."
With that, he lifted his hand to bring out a huge flying ship, and said to everyone, "Everyone board the ship, we will leave immediately."
…
When the Zhen Mo Continent's flying ship left with the group of genius disciples from the Lost Continent, Mo Wuji had already arrived at the Fringe City near the Formless Blade Sect. He didn't know where the old lair of the Nine Moons Pill House was, but he knew that there was a Nine Moons Pill House in the Fringe City.
The Nine Moons Pill House's pill house still existed, but Mo Wuji didn't enter it, because he saw that the name had changed. It was originally Nine Moons Pill House, but now it was Jian Ting Pill House.
"Friend, do you need to buy any pills?" A shop assistant saw Mo Wuji standing at the entrance, and hurried over to ask.
Mo Wuji clasped his fists, "May I ask, where's the original Nine Moons Pill House?"
"Why are you looking for the Nine Moons Pill House?" This shop assistant revealed a vigilant look, and started to size Mo Wuji up.
Mo Wuji smiled slightly, "I'm a pill refiner, and I owe the Nine Moons Pill House a few Gold Forming Pills. Today, I'm here to deliver them …"
Gold Forming Pills? This shop assistant almost cried out in shock. This was a pill used to enter the Earth Realm from the Mortal Realm, and it was extremely rare. It couldn't even be bought with spirit stones, and he actually heard someone saying that he was delivering Gold Forming Pills to the sect.
