"Cultivators?"
Shopkeeper Qian and Shopkeeper Kong, as well as the ordinary-looking Zhang Nian and the honest-looking Liu Cheng, were all shocked as they looked in the direction Weisuo was looking at.
Weisuo seemed to be looking at the center of True Underworld City, but they couldn't detect any cultivators within the range of their spiritual sense or sight.
Weisuo nodded and said calmly, "They seem to have discovered us. They might have seen the light we used to come here."
"Where are they now? Fellow Daoist Ji, can you sense that they are coming towards us? How many of them are there? "Shopkeeper Qian and Shopkeeper Kong were both excited and nervous at the same time. Only a city that was basically intact and under the jurisdiction of a sect would have order, and the safety of ordinary cultivators could be guaranteed. Under such circumstances, if the other party was a kind person, they might be of great help. If it was a vicious person who specialized in killing and robbing, then it might be a disaster instead.
"There are at least seven or eight cultivators, but they shouldn't be dangerous. Let's go meet them." However, Weisuo's expression was very calm. After saying this to Shopkeeper Qian and the others, he led the way.
"So far?"
Weisuo was indeed heading towards the center of True Underworld City, but after traveling for a distance of ten thousand feet, Weisuo did not stop and continued to lead the way.
"Fellow Daoist Ji, you can actually sense the presence of cultivators from such a distance? Where are they now? " Shopkeeper Qian and shopkeeper Kong exchanged glances with each other after following Wei Suo for nearly ten thousand feet. They really could not endure it any longer and asked in their hearts with great uncertainty. In their opinion, even a fifth-layer Jin Dan cultivator wouldn't be able to sense more than twenty thousand feet away with their spiritual sense. They even suspected that Weisuo was up to something.
Wei Suo stopped and turned around when he heard Shopkeeper Qian and Shopkeeper Kong's words. He seemed to want to explain something, but his eyes flickered.
"Pa!"
At the same time, several kilometers in front of the group, the sound of some kind of spell technique crashing into a hard object suddenly rang out. At the same time, there was a low cry of alarm that clearly belonged to a cultivator, and it was extremely panicked.
"There is a cultivator …" Shopkeeper Qian and Shopkeeper Kong were shocked. They were at a loss for words.
Weisuo calmly shouted in the direction of the sound, "Is there a fellow Daoist here?"
"Fellow Daoists, where are you from?" An obviously panicked voice was heard.
Shopkeeper Qian saw Weisuo looking at him and was stunned for a moment before he replied, "We are cultivators from Mining City."
"Mining City's cultivators? Fellow Daoist, you … "Shopkeeper Qian's voice's voice suddenly became strange.
"Daoist … Are you Shopkeeper Zhang?" Shopkeeper Qian and Shopkeeper Kong's's's's's's's's and's's's's's's's.
"Shopkeeper Qian! Is it? Who else is it? "Shopkeeper Qian immediately asked in surprise.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, I'm Kong Danian!" Shopkeeper Kong said with great excitement.
"Shopkeeper Kong! I didn't expect it to be you! I didn't expect to meet you here. But be careful, there seems to be a demonic beast nearby just now. "Shopkeeper Kong was also very excited, but he immediately reminded them nervously.
"Are you two familiar Fellow Daoists?" Weisuo was a little surprised by this situation.
Just now, he knew that Shopkeeper Kong and the others were suspicious, so he deliberately let his Heart Devouring Insects make some noise near the other party to alarm them. Previously, through the unique reaction of his Heart Devouring Insects, he knew that although the other party had a lot of people, their cultivation was not high. He could deal with them with just his Heart Devouring Insects, so he was not nervous at all. However, he did not expect that the other party was actually an old acquaintance of Shopkeeper Kong and the others. Moreover, the shopkeepers of the shops in the cities were usually busy with business. Their cultivation would not be too high. Unexpectedly, there were so many shopkeepers who had survived. Among so many people, there were already three shopkeepers.
"Shopkeeper Zhang is the shopkeeper of the Spirit Crystal Pavilion in Consonance City. We've met a few times during the trade meeting, and we have a good relationship. I didn't expect to meet him here. "Shopkeeper Qian nodded and then took a deep breath.
Nether Underworld City was south of True Underworld City, while Consonance City was east of True Underworld City. One was deep in the north of Tianxuan Continent, while the other was horizontal. However, between Consonance City and True Underworld City, there was also the Mu Tian City. Now that Shopkeeper Zhang was here, it meant that Mu Tian City was probably no longer in existence.
If that was the case, how many places had the demonic beast swept through this time?! It was because just these cities that everyone knew of, when all these regions were added together, they were already one-fifth of the northern part of the Profound Sky Continent.
"Let's go and meet them," Weisuo was also very shocked, but his expression did not change much. After nodding at Shopkeeper Qian, Weisuo continued to lead the way, heading toward Shopkeeper Zhang and the others.
His Divine Sense could cover a thousand feet, and the demonic beast mentioned by the shopkeeper was his Heart Devouring Bug, so he did not have much to worry about. Although Shopkeeper Qian's Golden Spirit Bee did not detect the presence of the Heart Devouring Bug, it was precisely because of this that Shopkeeper Qian and the others felt that there were no high-level demonic beasts in True Underworld City. Therefore, they were not too worried as they moved forward. After all, with a few Spiritual Grade Magic Weapons and above, they should be able to deal with an ordinary Level Five demonic beast.
After a while, the Heart Devouring Bug arrived two hundred feet away from Weisuo without the knowledge of Shopkeeper Qian and the others. Weisuo could feel that the two broken tentacles of his Heart Devouring Bug had not regrown, but the rest of its body was not injured and was still full of vitality.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, I didn't expect to meet you here!" After a while, a group of cultivators appeared behind the ruins. When Shopkeeper Qian and Shopkeeper Kong saw a thin old man in a dark green robe with a long beard in front of the other party, they were so excited that they could not control themselves.
Weisuo sized up this group of cultivators.
There was a total of seven cultivators in the group. In addition to Manager Zhang, who was clad in dark-green robes, there was also a middle-aged cultivator with a full beard. He wore bronze-coloured leather armour and carried a scarlet-coloured sword on his back. It was a very eye-catching sword cultivator with a cultivation base at the 5th layer of Heavenly Domain realm. The other five were young male cultivators under the age of thirty, and their cultivation was only at Level Four to Level Five of the Divine Sea Realm.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, why are you here? Has Consonance City been completely destroyed by the beasts?" Shopkeeper Qian was so excited at first that he could not speak. After bowing to the cultivators on Shopkeeper Zhang's side, he could not help but ask Shopkeeper Zhang.
"Consonance City has been completely destroyed, and you guys are here too. Could it be that Mining Valley City … has also been destroyed?" Shopkeeper Zhang took a deep breath to calm himself down. This thin old man's eyes were bloodshot, and his hair was unkempt. He looked very haggard.
"Fellow Daoists, let's talk on the way back. It's still not safe outside." The bearded middle-aged cultivator in bronze-colored leather armor looked around and said with a serious expression on his face.
"This is Fellow Daoist Zhou, he's a cultivator from Ancient Sword Sect …"
"Fellow Daoist Ji is a cultivator from Northern Spirit City?"
"Tianchu City, Mining Valley City, Northern Spirit City, all the cities along the way have already …"
"There are four other Fellow Daoists who survived?"
"…"
Next, Weisuo and the rest followed behind Shopkeeper Zhang and the rest as they walked toward the inner city of True Underworld City.
As they walked and talked, Weisuo and the rest found out that Consonance City had indeed been destroyed by the beasts. Shopkeeper Zhang was just about to deliver a batch of goods for refining pills to True Underworld City. However, before they were even ten thousand miles away from True Underworld City, the beasts had already swept over. Shopkeeper Zhang and the others relied on an ancient talisman that could conceal their aura and hid in a swamp along the way for several days before escaping the calamity. Now, the five young male cultivators in Shopkeeper Zhang's group, who looked to be less than thirty years old, were the shop assistants who transported goods with him in his previous shop.
As for the bearded middle-aged cultivator, they only met him when they were near True Underworld City. This cultivator's name was Zhou Yuge, and he was a cultivator from Ancient Sword City in the central region of the Tian Xuan Continent. He and a few other Fellow Daoists were training near True Underworld City. In the end, they encountered the beasts and only three of them were lucky enough to escape. However, on the way to True Underworld City, Zhou Yuge's group of three managed to save two other cultivators.
Currently, the other four cultivators were staying in a temporary residence that they had built in True Underworld City. They had also built a formation that could hide their presence.
After arriving at True Underworld City, they did not leave. They had already stayed in True Underworld City for five days. However, during these five days, they did not meet any other surviving cultivators.
When they were about to reach the hiding place of Shopkeeper Zhang and the rest, Weisuo could not help but ask, "Shopkeeper Zhang, were you the ones who cleared out the beasts in True Underworld City?"
"That's right. We were afraid that the corpses of these beasts would attract some scavenging beasts. Therefore, we slowly cleared out all the corpses in True Underworld City and piled them up in a valley behind True Underworld City," Shopkeeper Zhang replied politely. Under such circumstances, the relationship between each of the surviving cultivators seemed to have become much closer.
"They're all in the valley behind True Underworld City?" A thought flashed through Weisuo's mind. His Heart Devouring Bug had rushed over from the back of True Underworld City. It was very likely that it was feeding on the brains of the beasts in the valley.
After a while, Shopkeeper Zhang and the rest led Weisuo and the rest to their hiding place in True Underworld City. Their hiding place was also placed in a huge hollowed-out tortoiseshell.
This tortoiseshell was slightly larger than the Purple Flame Giant Beetle. It was crimson in color and had many flame-shaped patterns on its body. It also exuded a fiery aura.
This was the tortoiseshell of the mid-tier Class 6 Red Cliff Giant Tortoise. There were many marks on this tortoiseshell and there were several huge pits around it. At this moment, this tortoiseshell was also at the bottom of one of the pits. It seemed like this Class 6 Red Cliff Giant Tortoise had been killed by a powerful cultivator when True Underworld City was breached.
"Hmm?"
After following Shopkeeper Zhang and the rest into the tortoiseshell, Weisuo was slightly startled.
