The cruelty in Green Capital was beyond Chu Xiu's imagination. After a moment of silence, Chu Xiu suddenly asked, "Then when you were short of resources, did you eat people?"
Shang Tianliang and Shang Qi were both silent. Finally, Shang Tianliang said in a deep voice, "With I in charge of Merchant City, even if we went out to snatch resources, we would not do something like eating people.
This old master's ancestors were the family that guarded the Skypiercing Peak for High Heaven Sect for tens of thousands of years. Even if High Heaven Sect didn't take our ancestors away in the end, my Shang clan's ancestors still had a clear conscience.
Similarly, treating humans as food was the behavior of wild beasts. This was the bottom line of humanity! Even if the entire Merchant City starves to death, I will not tolerate such a situation! "
But after saying this, Shang Tianliang's voice suddenly became lower, "Although such a thing has not happened in Merchant City, it has happened in other gathering places. But this may be Heaven's punishment. Even if they chose to eat people, they still could not survive. The entire gathering place was buried in the Black Storm. "
"By the way, the Black Storm you mentioned before, what is it? I feel like you are very afraid of it. "
Shang Tianliang sighed, "The Black Storm is a kind of sandstorm in the desert, but it is the strongest kind. It can crush everything. It is a disaster that is close to the power of destruction.
The Black Storm does not come at a fixed time, but every few years, it will come once. It can last for a few months, or as short as ten days. It all depends on luck.
Every time the Dark Storm appeared, even I couldn't stay outside for a long period of time. I could only hide in a hole that I had dug.
But if there is no accumulation of resources, and the Black Storm happens to come for a long time, there is a risk of starving to death. "
At this moment, Shang Qi suddenly said to Chu Xiu, "I lied to you before, but I don't think I did anything wrong. The medicinal pills that an outsider has on him are enough to allow our Merchant City to survive this black storm. My father died in the last Black Storm while trying to save the people in the city, but in the end, he did not even save a single person and even lost his own life. "
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "I'm a broad-minded person, I won't take such a small matter to heart.
I have a lot of medicinal pills here. As long as you can give me a satisfactory answer, and also help me out a bit, these medicinal pills are all yours.
According to what you said, Green Metropolis is not a complete world. It's just a space, so it shouldn't be too big. Do you know all the outsiders? "
"More or less," Shang Tianliang said. "Even if we don't know, there will be news if the people from the other colonies run into outsiders."
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Then do you know that about five hundred years ago, two very, very powerful outsiders came here? So strong that they can use their strength to shatter the void and come here? "
Shang Tianliang's expression changed slightly. He nodded and said, "I know, of course I know. Everyone in Green City knows.
Five hundred years ago, Lü Du encountered its strongest black storm. At that time, almost everyone was prepared to die.
However, at that time, two experts descended from the sky and began to fight fiercely. The place where they fought was the center of the black storm.
In the end, those two people forcibly shattered the black storm, so to be precise, they saved many lives at that time. "
Hearing this news, Chu Xiu's eyes lit up. "Then do you know what happened to them in the end?"
"I don't know."
Shang Tianliang shook his head and said, "The power caused by those two experts was too strong. Not only did they completely shatter the black storm, but even the area where they fought caused the space to shatter. It's very dangerous."
"It's been so long, no one wants to go over and take a look?"
Shang Tianliang said, "In this kind of damned place, nothing is more important than staying alive. For people like us, just staying alive is already doing our best. Why would we have the curiosity to explore such a dangerous place?
Moreover, what's the use even if we get the secret technique? If we can't get out of this place, it's useless even if we have a high cultivation base.
According to the family's records, my current realm is not inferior to that of my ancestors, but in a place like this, it's still precarious. "
With a wave of his hand, Chu Xiu took out half of the Blood Recovery Pills and said, "This is the deposit. Take me to that place and help me kill someone. I'll give you the rest after it's done."
Without hesitation, Shang Tianliang immediately said, "Deal!"
That place was indeed dangerous, but with so many pills, it was enough to ensure that the entire Merchant City would be safe for a hundred years. It was a good deal.
As for who Chu Xiu wanted to kill, it had nothing to do with him. In a place like Green City, was it rare to kill someone?
After receiving the information, Chu Xiu immediately asked Shang Tianliang to lead the way to the place where Dugu Weiwei and Ning Xuanji had fought.
Chu Xiu was not an idiot, and neither were the others.
If he could think of asking the natives in this space for information, the others could naturally do the same.
Therefore, there was no time to lose. It would not be good if someone took the initiative.
As for the person Chu Xiu wanted to kill, it was naturally Zhang Yunzi.
It was actually quite difficult to kill Zhang Yunzi in a one-on-one fight.
Last time, Chu Xiu was able to kill Bu Tiannan because Duanmu Qianshan harassed him from the side and the environment.
The formation sealed off the Blue Dragon Society. In addition, Bu Tiannan was extremely stubborn and did not think of escaping after the battle.
Now, if Chu Xiu wanted to kill Zhang Yunzi, even if he had the strength, Zhang Yunzi could still escape. There was no need to guard there.
However, with Shang Tianliang's help, their chances of success would be much greater. It would be even better if they ran into Zhang Yunzi who was alone. Chu Xiu wouldn't even have to reveal his identity, and he would be able to kill him without anyone noticing.
This was a space that existed alone and was full of danger. Wasn't it normal for someone to die?
The mall was considered a relatively large gathering place in Green City. Shang Tianliang brought Chu Xiu there. He did not bring too many people with him. The others stayed in the mall to guard it. He only brought his granddaughter, Shang Qi.
Shang Qi was not strong. According to the power system of the outside world, she was almost at the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm. However, here, her strength was only equivalent to the Three Flower Realm in the outside world.
Chu Xiu was a little puzzled that she wanted to tag along. However, Shang Tianliang explained that when Shang Qi's father was still alive, he often took her to the outside world to broaden her horizons and train her ability to survive.
One time, they accidentally ran to the place where Dugu Weiwo and Ning Xuanji were fighting. In the end, they also successfully came out.
Therefore, Shang Qi was actually more familiar with that place than Shang Tianliang.
Because this space was not complete, Chu Xiu had a very poor sense of direction in this place. There was no point of reference around, so he basically could not tell north from south.
Shang Tianliang and Shang Qi took Chu Xiu in one direction for a full five days before they arrived at the place.
It was only when they arrived that they understood why Shang Tianliang said this place was dangerous.
It was a huge area that had been torn apart. Everything around it was misty, and one could vaguely see the wounds formed by the torn space.
A violent aura emerged here. Earth fire rose, and the wind howled. It was like hell.
Shang Tianliang pointed to the place and said, "This is it. This place is very dangerous. The torn space can move. Those who are weak or accidentally touch these moving spaces will be easily torn apart."
Chu Xiu nodded and followed Shang Tianliang into the space. He had also raised his mental strength to the extreme, constantly paying attention to the movements around him.
It was the same for Shang Tianliang. Moreover, he had to take care of his granddaughter. Although Shang Qi was also very vigilant, she was afraid that he would not be able to keep up.
The moment they stepped into the area, Chu Xiu immediately felt a wave of energy attacking him. To be precise, it should be the residual energy left behind by the battle between Dugu Weiwei and Ning Xuanji.
This energy was very familiar to Chu Xiu. Although it seemed very violent to outsiders, it was compatible with Chu Xiu's power.
When he fought with Shang Tianliang previously, Chu Xiu had consumed a lot of inner energy and vital energy. Because the world's essence Qi here was thin, the energy he had consumed was not replenished.
But here, the energy involuntarily surged into his body, restoring the inner energy he had consumed before.
At this moment, Chu Xiu could finally confirm that this was indeed the place where Dugu Weiwei and Ning Xuanji had fought in the past.
Lu Jiang He, who was in the Bloodsoul Pearl, also said, "This is indeed the energy left behind by the sect master. Tsk tsk, that old Taoist Ning Xuanji is actually so powerful. Did the sect master really perish together with him?"
"You know Ning Xuanji?" Chu Xiu asked casually.
Lu Jiang He said, "Of course I know him. Don't forget that I used to be the Hall Master of the Blood Demon Hall, second only to the Four Great Demon Sovereigns. Who doesn't know the powerhouses of that era?"
Chu Xiu had only asked casually. He had thought that an immortal-like figure like Ning Xuanji must have the image of an expert who had not appeared in the world for a long time. He did not expect that Lu Jiang He would know him.
"What kind of person was Ning Xuanji?"
Chu Xiu was very curious about this. After all, the end of the Kunlun Devil Cult could be said to have been caused by Ning Xuanji. However, apart from the True Martial Sect, most of Ning Xuanji's deeds were in legends. They were a little too high profile and sounded a little fake.
Lu Jiang He paused and said in a somewhat embarrassed tone, "Apart from being powerful, that old Taoist is simply a different person from the legendary Ning Xuanji.
Back then, when I was in his hands, that old Taoist beat me up for three days and three nights. I couldn't even self-destruct and reconstruct my body. Even my primordial spirit was sealed by him.
That old Taoist even asked me to steal a dog and roast it for him. I am the Hall Master of the Blood Demon Hall, yet I stole someone else's dog. Moreover, I had to steal it secretly. I couldn't even snatch it by force! "
At this point, Lu Jiang He broke down a little. Obviously, he felt that he could not bear to recall the past.
