After the discussion, Liu Cheng carried Weisuo on his back and they left the temporary shelter.
The night sky was filled with stars and night had fallen. However, the green phosphorescence on the trees inside and outside Guanshan City was even brighter and looked even more eerie.
Without stopping, the group left Guanshan City and headed toward True Underworld City.
Weisuo was a little hesitant when they started moving because he knew that Shopkeeper Kong and the others had almost used up all their Quintessential Yuan recovery pills. For Zhou Tianjing cultivators like Shopkeeper Kong and the others, they did not have enough Quintessential Yuan. Casting dozens of spells would deplete their Quintessential Yuan. Even if they killed some low-level monsters along the way, they would need Quintessential Yuan recovery pills to replenish their Quintessential Yuan. Weisuo had a lot of such pills on him and most of them were things that Weisuo had no use for. However, they were very suitable for low-level cultivators like Shopkeeper Kong and the others.
After hesitating for a while, Weisuo held back and did not say anything.
This was because the storage space of his bracelet was astonishing. It was equivalent to dozens of high-level storage pouches, which meant that it was equivalent to one or two hundred ordinary storage pouches. Other than the storage bracelet that he got from the mysterious young man, he also had an ancient storage ring that was also equivalent to dozens of storage pouches. Therefore, after obtaining the storage bracelet from the mysterious young man in the Dragon Necropolis, Weisuo had distributed all his storage pouches to Kyah, Nangong Yuqing, and the others. His belongings were all stored in the storage bracelet.
Judging from the current situation, Shopkeeper Kong, Shopkeeper Qian, and the others were not bad. However, Wei Suo didn't know them well, so he couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't be tempted after seeing his bracelet and the many treasures inside it. Therefore, Weisuo decided to wait until his injuries were healed to a certain extent. At the very least, he would be able to protect himself. Then, he would take out something from the bracelet and give it to them.
The group moved cautiously through the wasteland. Along the way, they would occasionally see those strange trees. The Golden Spirit Bees raised by Manager Qian were very useful. If a demon beast above Class 5 entered within a thousand miles of them, several Golden Spirit Bees would immediately fly to Manager Qian and report.
These Golden Spirit Wasps used the sound of their wings to transmit information. This sound could travel up to tens of li. However, only the Golden Spirit Wasps could hear it. Cultivators could not.
In the end, the Golden Spirit Wasps that had been staying near Manager Qian would fly over from the direction where the high-rank demonic beasts were coming from.
Two days later, True Underworld City appeared in front of Wei Suo and the others in the early morning after the Golden Spirit Wasps sent out messages.
"Heavens! Zhen Ming City has been completely destroyed!"
"How many cultivator cities has this beast destroyed?"
When they could clearly see the outline of True Underworld City, Manager Kong, who had not seen any other surviving cultivators for several days, could not help but cry out in grief.
The scale of True Underworld City was not any smaller than Guanshan City. It was five times the size of Northern Spirit City.
The entire True Underworld City was built on a barren, iron-grey mountain range. The surroundings of the iron-grey mountain range used to be a hilly area filled with forests and forests.
However, all the hilly areas around True Underworld City looked as though they had been burned and turned over. The True Underworld City on the iron-grey mountain range looked like a ruin. From afar, there did not seem to be any complete buildings. Many places in the city seemed to have been set ablaze. Even now, there were still embers and columns of black smoke rising into the sky.
The surroundings of True Underworld City were deathly silent. There were no traces of cultivators. Occasionally, a few demonic beasts could be seen flying across the sky around True Underworld City.
"I hope there are no high-level demonic beasts in True Underworld City. We can find some useful things there." Using a white gourd-shaped flying Dharma treasure, Manager Qian led the group towards True Underworld City without stopping. However, the wrinkles on his face seemed to have increased.
In fact, along the way, he had not seen any traces of cultivators as he approached True Underworld City. He knew in his heart that True Underworld City must have ceased to exist.
"Manager Qian, please accept these items first." At this moment, Weisuo, who had been sitting cross-legged beside Liu Cheng, stood up and handed a few items to Manager Qian.
"Daoist Ji, you …"
Manager Qian, Manager Kong, and the others were all focused on True Underworld City in front of them. When they saw Weisuo suddenly stand up, Manager Qian and the others were slightly stunned. When they saw the items in Weisuo's hands, Manager Qian and the others held their breaths.
In Weisuo's hands were four Dharma treasures and a silk pouch containing at least a hundred medicinal pills.
The four Dharma treasures were flashing with spiritual light. They seemed to be at least middle-grade Spiritual Grade or above.
"Daoist Ji, have you recovered from your injuries?" After a long while, Manager Qian's gaze moved away from the items in Weisuo's hands. He did not immediately reach out to take the items from Weisuo. He only asked this question first.
"For the time being, I can move my body freely. I can run and jump without any problems. However, I can't use my Vital Essence violently yet. It will take about two to three days before I can fight with an enemy. "Weisuo smiled faintly. Although True Underworld City looked the same as Guanshan City and gave people the feeling that the entire northern part of the Tianxuan Continent had been completely destroyed by the beasts, Weisuo's mood was much more relaxed at this moment. Over the past two days, the injuries in his body had mostly recovered. As long as he did not violently use his Vital Essence and used some techniques that did not consume much Vital Essence, such as the Aura Observation Technique or the Art of Concealment, there would be no problem.
Moreover, he could feel that some of the closed meridian points in his body were starting to open again. It was possible that within this day, all the meridian points that were closed due to the Hidden Dragon Spitting Pearl Technique would be opened.
In other words, Weisuo could very likely recover his cultivation base of Jin Dan Fourth Level within this day!
According to his estimation, it would take at least two more days for his injuries to recover to the point where he could use his Vital Essence on a large scale. However, Weisuo could already sense that his Heart Devouring Bug was in the wilderness behind True Underworld City!
Weisuo was speechless that his Heart Devouring Bug could travel tens of thousands of miles in just a few days. However, Weisuo could already sense that he could use his mind to control the Heart Devouring Bug now that he was here. At this moment, his Heart Devouring Bug was already rushing toward him.
He reckoned that not long after he arrived at True Underworld City, his Heart Devouring Bug would have arrived as well.
Although his Heart Devouring Bug might not be able to contend with a monster beast above Level Eight in a head-on battle, it was able to kill even the Primordial Giant Pincer in a sneak attack. With it by his side, as long as there were no particularly powerful monster beasts, self-preservation should not be too big of a problem. He had even decided that even if True Underworld City was in the same situation as Guanshan City, he would hide in True Underworld City for two to three days. After that, he would be able to fully recover his divine abilities and have less to worry about.
"It's fine as long as there are no major problems." In the eyes of Manager Qian and the others, Weisuo was only a cultivator from Zhou Tianjing. After hearing Weisuo's words, Manager Qian glanced at Weisuo and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Daoist Ji's Dharma Treasures are all above the mid-grade of the Spiritual Grade. These things are really too precious. How can we accept such treasures from you?"
"We don't know anything about the situation outside. If we die, what's the use of keeping these Dharma Treasures? You have all saved my life, so please accept them first. "Weisuo directly reached out and stuffed the four Dharma Treasures and a pouch of Elixir Yao into Manager Qian's hands.
"Very well, it would be impolite to refuse." Manager Qian didn't refuse and the four of them each took a Dharma Treasure. After thanking them for a while, Manager Qian looked at the pouch of Elixir Yao that Weisuo took out and opened it. He suddenly looked surprised and asked, "Daoist Ji, what kind of Elixir Yao is this?"
"This is Essence Recovery Elixir. Its effect is similar to Essence Recovery Elixir." Weisuo didn't beat around the bush and said, "I still have some Essence Recovery Elixir Yao. Just accept it."
"Thank you, Daoist Ji!" Manager Qian and Manager Kong were pleasantly surprised after hearing Weisuo's words. They didn't have many of these Elixir Yao left, so Weisuo's Elixir Yao really solved their desperate situation.
Not long after, Manager Qian's White Jade Gourd brought Weisuo and the others close to True Underworld City.
The transformed True Underworld City still looked extremely huge. Weisuo and the others were as small as ants compared to the ruins of this huge city.
An indescribable feeling rose in the hearts of Wei Suo's group when they saw such a large and lifeless city ruins at the edge of the city that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Usually, there would be at least hundreds of thousands of cultivators entering and leaving such a huge city. However, there wasn't a single person in sight right now. It was as if they were the only ones left in this world.
"There shouldn't be any high-level Demonic Beasts in True Underworld City."
Manager Qian's Golden Spirit Wasp didn't sense any high-level Demonic Beasts in True Underworld City. After putting away the Flying Dharma Treasure, the group followed the ruins and entered True Underworld City, which looked like a huge graveyard.
Around True Underworld City, the three types of trees were rarely seen. However, there were many of them within the walls of True Underworld City. One or two of them could be seen every few hundred feet.
"Why aren't there any Demonic Beasts' corpses?"
Many of the shops in True Underworld City were located in the north of the city. Therefore, Weisuo, Manager Qian, and the others headed towards the north of the city first. However, after walking a few hundred feet through the ruins, the bewilderment in Weisuo and the others' eyes grew stronger.
This was because there were fragments of cultivators' robes, bones, and even fragments of Dharma Artifacts everywhere. It was a very tragic scene. However, apart from the fragments of some Demonic Beasts' shells, there wasn't a single complete Demonic Beast corpse. It was as if all the Demonic Beasts' corpses in True Underworld City had been cleaned up.
"Something doesn't seem right. Let's wait for a while." Weisuo's eyes flickered and he stopped. This was because he could sense that his Heart Devouring Bug had entered True Underworld City from the back. It would take at most half an hour for it to reach him. Under such a strange situation, Weisuo naturally wanted to wait for the Heart Devouring Bug to reach him first.
"Wait for a while?" Manager Qian and the others were stunned when they heard Weisuo's words.
"Hmm?" At the same time, Weisuo's eyebrows twitched and his eyes flashed with surprise.
"What's wrong, Daoist Ji?" Manager Kong immediately noticed Weisuo's abnormality and asked nervously.
