The population of the Shanyang Clan was only about sixty to seventy million, and the clans were not too far away from each other. In less than thirty days, the cultivators of the Spirit Gate conquered all forty-two clans. Among them, there were many who were unwilling to be tamed, and they were all killed.
The Ling Gate didn't just blindly kill, if there were clans that were willing to submit, they would bestow a decree talisman to restrain their clans.
To the Ling Gate cultivators who could control the hearts of the clans, it was fine as long as these people were willing to take care of the lower level affairs for them, and they didn't care if they were loyal or not. Moreover, this ghostly land was a perfect place for the junior disciples to train.
Two months later, in the depths of the earth abyss, Han Ji rode on a flying ship. On the ship, other than him and his disciples, there were two other people, the elders of the Shanyang Clan who had just returned.
After a long time, he stopped the ship and looked down as if he was looking for something.
Previously, he received news that after a Yuanying elder chased after a Shanyang Clan elder to this land, the elder disappeared without a trace, and no letter was sent back. This matter was very unusual, so he decided to take a look.
Not long after, his gaze fell on a hole that was three hundred meters in size. The bottom of the hole was pitch-black, and he couldn't see the bottom of it. He didn't know what was hidden there, so he pointed at the hole and said to a middle-aged man with a proper appearance, "Elder Zhu, do you know where this place is?"
The middle-aged man looked around, and when he saw the hole, he couldn't help but show a trace of fear, he said, "Reporting to God, this is a famous dangerous place, it's called the Burying Love Cave."
This person was the son of the clan master, Zhu You, but because of his low talent, he wasn't valued by the clans. As the Shanyang Clan was defeated, seeing that the cultivators from the outer heavens were invading this land, he was the first one to submit to them. To show his loyalty, he even sent his favorite son to Han Ji as a Dao child to serve him.
Han Ji observed for a while, and saw that there were collapsed pillars and walls on both sides of the cave. He could tell that this was a huge building, so he asked, "What is the origin of this place?"
Zhu Gao replied, "This Earth Abyss used to be the residence of two strange races in ancient times. These two races were mortal enemies, and they constantly attacked each other. Before our Shan Yang Clan decided to come here, we thought that there would be a battle. But when we entered this place, we realized that the two clans were only left with a few beast-like survivors. Most of them had already disappeared. Later on, I gradually found out that most of the people from the two clans had entered the crypt and never came out again. "
"There's actually such a strange place?" Han Ji frowned, he asked, "Has your Shan Yang Clan explored it before?"
Zhu Gao said, "There was. Ten li down, there should be a stone seal. I heard that when the first clan leader came here, he smeared his own blood energy on it to guard against any unforeseen events. It's just that after several thousand years, everyone who came here mysteriously disappeared. Very few clansmen dared to approach this place."
Han Ji pondered for a while, he was afraid that the elder must have chased into this crypt, and that was why there was no news of him. He ordered, "Men, set up a restrictive array formation around this place to prevent anyone from coming here again."
The disciples behind him were already prepared, after receiving the order, they all flew down and set up formation flags and restrictive arrays.
Zhu Gao and the other elder of Division Zhu heaved a sigh of relief. This place was very strange, and what they were most afraid of was this Enlightened Master insisting on going down to search for those missing cultivators.
However, Han Ji's next words caused the two of them to feel a tug in their hearts again. "The elders of the clan have gone missing, I have to take responsibility for this matter. The two of you, prepare yourselves and follow me down to take a look."
The two of them were terrified, they wanted to dissuade him. But at this moment, a letter flew over.
Han Ji recognized that it was a message from the sect. He waved his hand to take a look and found that it was a summons from Wen Qingxiang, asking him to temporarily put down what he was doing. He glanced at the crypt and had no choice but to give up. He summoned all the disciples and steered the boat back.
After traveling for four hours, the boat arrived in front of a magnificent palace.
This place was called the Jun Jue Palace, it was the official residence of the clan leaders of the Shanyang Clan. The heavenly ghosts only cultivated their Qi and blood, not their mana, but they knew that the spiritual vigor of heaven and earth was beneficial to their clan. Therefore, the location of the palace was coincidentally the place with the most spiritual vigor. After the Ling Sect conquered this place, Yuwen Hongyang and the other four elders took a fancy to this place, they made some arrangements and designated it as a temporary place to cultivate.
When Han Ji arrived, he knew that Yuwen Hongyang and the other four elders were in a meeting, so he waited at the door.
This abyss was the same as the outside world, it also had day and night. When the sky gradually darkened, a boy came out and bowed, "Elder Han, Enlightened Master Wen invites you, please follow me."
Han Ji nodded and let the boy lead the way. They passed through the palace wall and walked along a path made of gold and stone. After several turns, they finally came to a brightly lit jade court. He saw Wen Qingxiang with his back facing Han Ji, looking at a geomantic map of the abyss hanging on the wall of the palace.
Han Ji was about to step forward to greet him, but Wen Qingxiang raised his hand and said, "No need for formalities, Han Ji, come over and take a look. Is the place you are going Just Now in here? “
Han Ji walked forward and glanced at it. He saw that there were a lot of red dots on the map. There were about a hundred of them, and they were scattered across different boundaries. The Burying Love Cave was one of them. He instantly knew that it marked all the dangerous locations in the Earth Abyss. However, the number of red dots was beyond his expectations. He raised his hand and pointed, saying, "Reporting to Master, what disciple saw just now was this place."
Wen Qingxiang took a look and said, "Just Now, I received a report that a Yuanying elder of the Netherworld Spring Sect also disappeared after entering a ruin."
Han Ji thought for a while and said, "The abyss is vast, comparable to the mountains and rivers on earth. I heard from a few elders of the Shanyang Clan that although they have been here for thousands of years, they only occupy a small area. There are even many dangerous areas that they dare not go deep into."
Wen Qingxiang smiled and said, "Not necessarily. It's not that they don't dare, but they are unwilling. Even if the Shanyang Clan moved here, they still have to face the surrounding poisonous insects and demons, and also guard against attacks from other clans, so they dare not easily lose their combat power. But this is the place where we establish our clan, we must not leave any future troubles behind. When we return from the expedition to the West Desolate Region, we will go and investigate one by one."
When Han Ji heard this, he immediately understood. Just Now, he was called back. It should not be a coincidence, but the few Zhenrens were unwilling to waste their strength here.
Wen Qingxiang looked at the map for a while more before turning around and said, "We have previously promised the countries of the East Barren that after conquering this place, we will help them build the Prohibition Formation. I remember that you have studied this before?"
Han Ji replied, "I only know a little about it, I am not very familiar with it."
Wen Qingxiang nodded and said, "Just Now, Zhenren Zhang has sent a letter to send Zhu You and Lian Ji to the Cold Jade Ocean Continent. This time, you will go with me."
Han Ji bowed his head and agreed. It was not difficult for him to guess that if there were no accidents, he would be sent to the Hundred Countries of the East Barren to build the Prohibition Formation to protect the country.
Wen Qingxiang said again, "Is there anything about your cultivation that you do not understand?"
When Han Ji heard this, he knew that this Zhenren Wen was taking care of him.
There were not many opportunities for Zhenren Dongtian to give him pointers, so he quickly took the opportunity to ask.
Although he admitted that he had no hope of entering the Grotto-Heaven, he could pass on many of the tricks he obtained to his disciples. After he reincarnated in the future, he would be guided into the sect, and it would be much easier for him to cultivate.
After a few hours, a Daoist with a face full of shrewdness walked in and said, "Zhenren, the two people have been escorted here. When will we depart?"
Wen Qingxiang said, "Go inform the friends of the East Barren Country and the Heart Butterfly Tribe, ask them to wait in front of the palace."
The Daoist responded, turned around and went out.
At this moment, outside, a cloud whale that was a hundred feet long had already stopped in front of the hall, and on the whale's back, there were two large golden copper bells. Zhu You and Lian Ji's hands and feet were wide open, and they were tightly bound to the bell's body by the golden chains.
They had been fed medicinal pellets in advance, and their blood and Qi were controlled by the Talisman and the Black Needle, so they had long lost the ability to resist, and looked weak and powerless.
Lian Ji reluctantly turned his head, looked at Zhu You, and scolded, "Chief Zhu, your people have fallen into the hands of others, how can you still have the face to live in this world?"
Zhu You looked at him from the corner of his eyes, and said, "Aren't you also a prisoner now? Why don't I see you seeking death? "
Lian Ji said forcefully, "This is different. I came here under the order of the tribe, and originally wanted to go to the Cold Jade Ocean Continent to investigate the background of these cultivators from beyond the heavens. I didn't accomplish this, so I don't dare to say that I'm going to die easily. But your tribe, you didn't even know that your tribe was attacked by external enemies, and it's fine that your tribe was destroyed, but I was also captured. Isn't this your fault?"
Zhu You was also calm, and said, "Yes, I'm useless, and caused the tribe to suffer, and I'm sorry. But because of this, I can't die. Otherwise, when the tribe is bullied in the future, no one will help them? “
Lian Ji sneered, "Chief Zhu, aren't you thinking too much? You are the leader of the Shanyang Tribe, how can those cultivators let you live?"
Zhu You was very calm, and he said, "That's hard to say. If I take the initiative to join them, I might be able to survive."
Lian Ji mocked, "Do you think those cultivators from beyond the heavens will accept you?"
Zhu You said in a deep voice, "How will we know if we don't try?"
Lian Ji frowned, he could feel that Zhu You might have other intentions, but he couldn't see through them. He humphed, and wanted to say something, but a Daoist came over and shouted, "Silence."
Under the control of the Talisman, the two of them couldn't speak anymore.
Lian Ji was not convinced, and he only stared at the Daoist with hatred, but the latter ignored him.
After a while, two spiritual boats came from the sky. It was the Xuan cultivators of East Barren Country and the three elders of Heart Butterfly Tribe.
Wen Qingxiang also came out with a group of disciples, and the two sides hurried down to greet him. After a short conversation, they stood on the back of the whale.
After a short while, smoke gushed out from the top of the Cloud Whale and enveloped everyone within it. When the smoke slowly dispersed, a completely different world appeared before everyone's eyes.
Lian Ji looked around, and he saw that there were palaces floating in the air, flying mountains, and jade waterfalls and celestial rivers surrounded by clouds. It was like a celestial land. The situation here was very different from what he imagined, and he couldn't help but show some surprise in his eyes, and he said, "Could it be that the tribe guessed wrong, and these cultivators from beyond the heavens did not come from there?"
