"We've seen a lot of corpses. It seems that there has been a big battle here."
Xiao Dong, Lu Xun, Luo Xuanxin, and Qiu Shuiming were lucky enough to be teleported to the same place after entering the Space Mist. Soon, they met up. As for the others, they had no idea where they were teleported to.
The internal environment of the Mount Shu Heaven was similar to what they had imagined. Lone sword-like peaks stood on the ground, and the peaks were not connected to each other. Deep streams and shadowy barriers were all over the mountains. They could only walk in the canyons between the lone peaks. When they looked up at the sky, they could only see a sliver of the sky.
The difference was that the height of the peaks here was far higher than any mountain on Earth. They were tens of thousands of meters high, with steep cliffs. The stone peaks, which formed a sharp angle with the ground, were too steep. With their strength, they couldn't climb to the top.
And they soon found a phenomenon of great significance.
In this winter in Mount Shu, there were non-Earth creatures.
Because in the mountains and valleys, they saw the corpses of human beings who had died in battle.
They were wearing clothes and armors similar to those of ancient times. Broken limbs and broken corpses could often be seen in the mountains and valleys. There were also some strange half-human and half-beast corpses, which seemed to have fallen from the sky or the lone peaks. They were badly mutilated, and their blood dyed the stream red.
They were definitely not creatures from Earth.
The Shushan Mountain Grotto-Heaven was the first Grotto-Heaven where intelligent life existed.
Moreover, judging from the mutilated corpses and severed arms, these intelligent creatures had already evolved a considerable civilization system.
"Their strength is much higher than ours. We have to be careful."
Lu Xun pointed to the corpses they encountered and said, "Look, these corpses must have been dead for a long time, but their muscles and blood are like those of living people. This is in line with the sign that the flesh and blood of experts in the Natural Realm will not rot after death. I'm afraid these dead people are all in the Natural Realm."
Luo Xuanxin nodded. She was a vampire, so she was most sensitive to blood. She said, "I smell powerful energy in the blood, which is rare on Earth … These dead people were very powerful when they were alive."
"Who can kill them?" Qiu Shuiming's expression was very solemn as he said, "Along the way, we've already seen more than a few hundred corpses and so many Innate Experts. The one who can kill them must be an extremely terrifying existence. If we meet him, we'll be in danger."
"Could it be the world that Teacher described?" Xiao Dong asked thoughtfully.
Since they had been personally taught by Li Mu, the Four Pillars of Chinese Wulin all addressed Li Mu as their teacher.
Just as he was speaking, a low groan suddenly came from behind the cliff in front of him, as if it was the sound of a heavily injured person.
The four of them shuddered.
A living person?
Glancing at each other, the four of them raised their strength to the peak. The four of them carefully circled around the cliff and saw behind a huge rock. Behind a pile of broken limbs was a seventeen or eighteen year old girl wearing a long green dress. Her left shoulder and both her legs were seriously injured and she was unconscious. She was moaning in pain and blood dyed half of the green dress red.
So beautiful.
These three words were the first reaction of the four of them when they saw the little girl.
She was like a fairy in a painting.
Among the four of them, Luo Xuanxin was also one of the great beauties on Earth. But compared with this girl, she was slightly inferior.
As if sensing that someone was approaching, the unconscious girl suddenly opened her eyes.
…
…
"Have you heard? The Decent Alliance has decided to have a fair final battle with the Devil Cult. "
Ding Yi was always the most well-informed one.
"A fair final battle?" Li Mu looked at him and said, "That is to say, the Decent Alliance also thinks that the previous final battle was unfair?"
"Puff …" Ding Yi spat out the tea he had just drunk. Then, with a cautious look, he said, "Boy, don't talk nonsense. If others hear it, I'm afraid you will also be labeled as a remnant of the Devil Cult."
Li Mu put on a frightened look.
Three days ago, with the arrival of Tan Rushuang, the Top Sword of West Sea, the current head of the West Sea Sword Sect, to the Desktop Peak, the silver figure never showed up again.
No more prisoners escaped from the grotto prison.
Obviously, the Top Sword of West Sea, one of the seven supreme masters in the world, had deterred the experts of the Devil Cult from showing up again. The current seven supreme masters of the Decent Alliance were all in the Void-breaking Realm. Who could compete with them if the immortals didn't show up?
But the problem was that the Devil Cult was holed up in White Emperor City. The alliance of the Decent Alliance had attacked for several months but failed to conquer it. As the saying went, "The first roll of drums is the second, and the third is the third", the morale of the Decent Alliance was gradually declining. Therefore, the leaders of the Decent Alliance decided to challenge the Devil Cult head-on. Each side would send ten experts to have a fair battle. If the Decent Alliance won, the Devil Cult would withdraw from White Emperor City. Within ten years, the Decent Alliance and the Devil Cult would stop fighting. If the Devil Cult won, the Decent Alliance would release the captured experts of the Devil Cult, withdraw their troops, and compensate the Devil Cult.
"Well, unless the people of the Devil Cult are out of their minds, they won't agree."
After hearing Ding Yi's spittle, Li Mu said in surprise.
The Devil Cult was sitting on White Emperor City. Since the Decent Alliance couldn't break it, it had always been in a state of absolute safety. Why would they have a so-called "fair battle"?
What was more, once they lost, they would have to hand over White Emperor City. That would be a joke.
Over the years, the reason why the Devil Cult could survive in this world was that they had White Emperor City, their last stronghold. Once they handed over White Emperor City, even if the Decent Alliance and the Devil Cult did not fight for ten years, what would happen after ten years? Ten years later, White Emperor City, which had lost its stronghold, would be like a fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered?
"Haha, on the contrary, the Devil Cult agreed." Ding Yi laughed.
This time, Li Mu was really surprised. He asked, "Why?"
Ding Yi laughed and said, "Haha, you still have to rely on me, a famous hero in Jianghu, to answer your questions … Because there is news that if White Emperor City can't be conquered after a long time, the immortals in heaven will descend. Once the immortals descend, White Emperor City will definitely fall. Then, the Devil Cult will have to agree even if they don't want to."
"Oh, I forgot about that."
Li Mu patted his forehead.
Ding Yi continued to show off and said, "It is said that there are treasures under White Emperor City that even the immortals covet. So, as long as the Devil Cult withdraws from White Emperor City, the immortals will not kill them all, and they can even get ten years to recuperate. Who can tell what will happen after ten years? Anyway, it's better than being wiped out by the immortals now."
Li Mu chuckled inwardly and said, "If that's the case, will the Decent Alliance definitely withdraw their troops if they lose? If the immortals can't get the treasures they want, they still have to descend to the mortal world to kill, right? "
Ding Yi paused and said, "Well … the immortals should keep their word."
Li Mu continued to chuckle inwardly.
"Immortals?"
Li Mu had seen the faces of those extraterrestrial cultivators. For the sake of benefits, they could do anything.
"Anyway, the Devil Cult agreed." Ding Yi said, "It seems that the Devil Cult has no way out and can only agree. Anyway, this duel may be to buy some time … Hey, you little scholar, why do you worry so much? A famous hero in Jianghu like me doesn't even care about these trivial things. I'll just watch the fun."
Li Mu said leisurely, "The battle between the decent and the devil will be full of killings. How many people will die? Brother Ding, you are a famous hero in Jianghu. Why don't you stop such a war? You can do it, right?"
Ding Yi said without hesitation, "Of course I can. But I've already given up on fame and wealth, and I'm tired of Jianghu. I don't want to care about these trivial things …"
Li Mu asked, "Then why are you here to watch the fun?"
Ding Yi was speechless.
"Smack!"
He slapped the back of Li Mu's head and said, "Why do you talk so much nonsense today?"
While they were talking, footsteps came from outside.
All the outer sect chores, including Li Mu and Ding Yi, were gathered together.
"This is Master Zhu Hong, the chief tactical deployment master of the Xuanji family. He is in charge of the construction of the arena." A disciple of the West Sea Sword Sect introduced a gray-haired middle-aged man to thousands of chores and disciples of other sects. He said, "From today on, everyone will follow Master Zhu's arrangement and build the arena."
"What?"
"Build a special arena?"
"Are you serious?"
"Or do you want to do it secretly?"
…
…
"Thank you."
Qing 'er, the green-clothed girl, said to Luo Xuanxin and the other four gratefully.
Under the care of Lu Xun, Xiao Dong, Luo Xuanxin, and Qiu Shuiming, her injuries had recovered a lot. Finally, she could barely run her cultivation method to heal herself. The strange force and internal injuries in her body had also stabilized.
"Sister Qing 'er, you're welcome. How on earth did you get hurt?" Luo Xuanxin asked with a smile.
After a few days of contact, the four of them found that the girl named Qing 'er was a genuine human. She was cheerful and pure, and easy to get along with.
The reason why they could communicate with Qing 'er was that when they were on Earth, their teacher, Li Mu, had taught them some languages of the Divine Land, which were not much different from the popular mainstream languages of the Brilliance Immortal Star Region … It was quite important to master a "foreign language". At that time, Li Mu had a long-term plan. He wanted to take these talents from Earth to the universe, but now he had to use it in advance.
"During the sect war, we were ambushed. I was separated from Miss and the others. I was chased and fell from the Sword Peak …" Speaking of this, Qing 'er immediately became anxious. She said, "No, I have to hurry back to defend the city. If I'm late, it will be too late."
"Defend the city? What city? "Lu Xun couldn't help asking.
Qing 'er said in surprise, "You don't know? Then what are you doing here? With your strange attire, aren't you the disciples who came to the rescue of the Divine Sect? "
Qiu Shuiming covered his forehead and said, "In fact, we got lost and came here by accident … So, we still don't know the situation."
Qing 'er said, "I see. That's right. Your strength is too low. You shouldn't be able to enter Mount Shu … But once you are seen by the four city gates or the three major sword sects, you will definitely be regarded as members of the Divine Sect, and you will be killed … Why don't you go to White Emperor City with me? The Divine Sect will protect you."
"White Emperor City?" Lu Xun and the other three exclaimed in unison.
This name was very familiar.
There was also a White Emperor City on Earth.
Mount Shu and White Emperor City were both names on Earth.
What was going on?
After a discussion, the four of them finally accepted Qing 'er's suggestion.
