Three days after Zhao Hai and ShiYan met, the two finally left the Three Dao Bay and headed towards the Yin Corpse City. There was no transmission formation from the Three Dao Bay to the Yin Corpse City, so they had to cross the bridge. The two rode their horses and headed towards the Yin Corpse City from the bridge.
In the past three days, they had prepared a lot of things. A steel pipe that was two meters long, with one end sealed and the other end blocked, animal skin clothes that sealed the whole body, a large number of antidotes, and even a mask that could be worn on the face to block the poisonous gas. These things were all custom-made, so it took them three days to complete.
These steel pipes were used to store earthworms. These earthworms couldn't be placed inside the Space, otherwise they would die. They could only be carried on the mountain peak. These steel pipes were specially made to store earthworms. For this reason, they had also made brackets that could be carried on the back of these steel pipes. Otherwise, carrying a pile of steel pipes would be very troublesome.
The two rode their horses and slowly walked on the bridge. While walking, ShiYan said, "Once we reach the Yin Corpse City, we will be safe. The Yin Corpse City doesn't allow private fights."
Zhao Hai sighed and said, "In the past, when we were in the righteous areas, those people always said that the Demon Domain was terrible, as if the Demon Domain was hell. I didn't think that the Demon Domain was completely different from what they said."
ShiYan shook his head and said, "No, actually, what they said wasn't wrong. The Demon Domain is indeed very dangerous, but compared to the commoners, it is very safe. In the Demon Domain, killing commoners is a big crime. But for rogue cultivators like you and me, the Demon Domain can really be called hell. But the cities there are very safe."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "There are some righteous sects in the areas where the commoners live very hard. They might not even be as good as the commoners in the Demon Domain."
ShiYan said, "Do you think that the Demon Domain didn't kill the commoners in the past? In the past, the commoners in the Demon Domain were like pigs and dogs raised by the sects. They killed whenever they wanted. The consequence of this was that the population of the Demon Domain plummeted. It became very difficult for the major Demon Sects to recruit disciples. If they continued to kill, they wouldn't need anyone to deal with them in the future. In order to change this situation, several major Demon Sects joined forces and issued an order to prohibit the killing of commoners. This allowed the commoners to slowly recover. At the same time, the major Demon Sects also issued another order. If their disciples wanted to collect souls or corpses, they could go to the righteous sects and kill them. As long as they weren't caught by the righteous sects, they wouldn't care how many people were killed. This not only solved the problem of the souls used for cultivation, it also didn't reduce their population. It could also weaken the strength of the righteous sects, killing three birds with one stone. It was precisely because of this that in the past few years, there would be people from the Demon Sects who would kill and set fires in the righteous sects. Do you still think that the Demon Sects are good? For the people from the Demon Sects, not killing commoners is not because they have a good heart, nor is it because they love the commoners, but because they have no choice. If there are more commoners in the Demon Domain in the future, there might be a situation where commoners are killed. The people from the Demon Sects are far more hateful than the righteous sects. Even if the righteous sects are hypocrites, they still have to pretend to be so that the commoners can at least live. But if the people from the Demon Sects really kill people, they don't care whether they have to maintain the face of a hypocrite or not. They don't care so much, so the destructive power of the Demon Sects will always be greater than the righteous sects. "
Zhao Hai looked at ShiYan and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that you still have so many feelings."
ShiYan smiled bitterly and said, "In the past, when I was in the righteous sects' area, I always complained about all kinds of unfairness. I felt that those righteous sects were all hypocrites, all of them had eyes but no balls. None of them were good people. But after coming to the Demon Domain, I understood how happy the rogue cultivators were living in the righteous sects' area. Unfortunately, people like you and me have fled here because we offended people. Even if we want to go back, we don't dare to. We can only go forward. Only when we come to the Demon Domain did we understand how good the righteous sects are."
Zhao Hai looked at ShiYan's appearance. He didn't know why, but he always thought of a sentence, 'Once you go abroad, you will love your country'. Now, ShiYan's appearance really matched the mood of this sentence.
However, he didn't say anything. There must be a reason why the Demon Domain was called the Demon Domain. The reason why he said those words before was nothing more than to tell ShiYan that he couldn't return to the righteous sects' area, so that he could rest assured.
The two chatted as they walked forward. Soon, they crossed the bridge. Not far from the bridge, there was a small town. This small town looked better than the small town of Three Dao Bay. The town also had walls, but it looked very new. From here, the gate of the town was very lively. This was really beyond Zhao Hai's expectations.
The two of them entered the small town. This small town was even more lively. There were all kinds of people, filling up the streets. On both sides of the road, there were countless people who were setting up stalls. The sound of hawking could be heard.
Zhao Hai could see that most of the people setting up stalls were rogue cultivators. The things they sold were also very strange. From a tree branch, to a blade of grass, to a corpse, from a stone to a broken flying sword, anything could be sold. Moreover, there were often successful transactions. This was really inconceivable.
What surprised Zhao Hai the most was that there were a lot of Demon Cultivators in the city. These Demon Cultivators were just like the Demon Cultivators in Zhao Hai's impression. They were all wearing black clothes, some had masks on their faces, some had bamboo hats on their faces, and some didn't wear anything at all. Their faces had some characteristics of Demon Cultivators. Some had blood red eyes, some had black eyes, some had snake-like hair, and some had strange patterns on their faces. They looked like ghosts, very scary.
However, the people in the Yin Corpse City seemed to have gotten used to the existence of these Demon Cultivators. They were still peddling their goods. From time to time, there would be transactions. Moreover, both sides seemed to be very happy.
Seeing Zhao Hai curiously looking around, Shi Yan opened his mouth and said, "Let's find a place to stay for the night. Tomorrow, we'll take the transmission formation and leave. We'll also need to bring the horses because we'll have to go to the Poison Mist Pond. Even if we reach the nearest city, it'll still be a long way. We'll need to walk on our own. Riding a horse will be a lot faster."
Zhao Hai said, "Won't we be late? What if the Poison Tree Sect doesn't want the Earthworm? What should we do?"
Shi Yan faintly smiled and said, "Don't worry, they will definitely want the Earthworm. This is because the Poison Tree Sect wants to refine the Earthworm into their own battle beast, just like the Poison Dragon Sect's snake. In fact, this experiment was done by the Poison Dragon Sect."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, then let's rest here for a day. To be honest, I'm very curious about this Yin Corpse City. Who is in charge of it?"
Shi Yan said, "You've been calling it Yin Corpse City for a long time. How can you not know who's in charge? Of course, it's the Yin Corpse Sect. However, the Yin Corpse Sect only has a few people here. They've invited some powerful Rogue Cultivators from the city to help them maintain order in the city. With the Yin Corpse Sect's support, no one dares to cause trouble in the city. I heard that in the past, there was someone who didn't believe in heresy. Relying on his strength and backing, he killed people in the Yin Corpse City and then escaped. However, after a few days, his corpse was hung outside the Yin Corpse City. Therefore, no one dares to cause trouble here. "
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I'm not familiar with the Yin Corpse City. It's up to you."
Shi Yan smiled faintly and said, "Let's go. In fact, the Yin Corpse City is very safe." Then he urged his horse to go to the side of the street. There were fewer people on this street, but there were a lot of shops. Zhao Hai saw several inns and shops. It seemed like this was the place where inns gathered.
Shi Yan and Zhao Hai arrived in front of a small inn and jumped off their horses. Immediately, a waiter came in front of them and bowed to them, "Hello, two guests. Would you like to have a meal or stay in the inn?"
Shi Yan said, "Stay in the inn. Two rooms. Take care of our horses. Prepare six dishes and two jugs of wine for us and send them to our rooms." Then he threw five crystal stones to the waiter and walked into the inn. The waiter took the crystal stones and nodded. Then he waved his hand and someone immediately took away Zhao Hai's horses. After that, the waiter personally led Zhao Hai and Zhao Hai into the inn and sent them to two adjacent rooms upstairs.
Zhao Hai looked around the room and then went to Shi Yan's room. Shi Yan said, "Tomorrow, we will go through several transmission channels until we reach the Poison Wind City. We will rest there for a day and then go to the Poison Fog Pond. From the Poison Wind City to the Poison Fog Pond, it will take about two days. If we ride horses, it will also take about a day. Tonight, we will find a place to spend the night at the periphery of the Poison Fog Pond. The next day, we will enter the Poison Fog Pond."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Is the Poison Fog Pond very big?"
"Very big!" Shi Yan nodded and said, "Although the Poison Fog Pond is called a pond, it is actually a swamp. But in the middle of the swamp, there is a very big pool. That is the real Poison Fog Pond. But the swamp outside is also counted as part of the Poison Fog Pond, so it is only called the Poison Fog Pond."
Of course, the outside of the Poison Fog Pool is not very safe. What is dangerous is not poisonous beasts but people. Every year, countless individual cultivators die in the Poison Fog Pool. Most of them die in the hands of other individual cultivators. Those who die in the hands of poisonous beasts are only a few. I heard that many Sect Practitioners go to the Poison Fog Pool to collect the corpses of those individual cultivators. If they can find corpses that have been dead for a long time and have not been destroyed, they will be rich. A poisonous corpse is very precious to those who know how to refine corpses. "
