These two people were able to save Yuan Xiang from the zombies that had almost slaughtered the Zhen Squad. Their strength must be extraordinary.
But since they had entered the formation, pure strength was meaningless.
So it shouldn't be difficult to take them down. Wu Jun thought so in his heart. Suddenly, he heard a low cry. He hurriedly turned his head to look at a skinny old man. "Elder Xu, what's wrong?"
The reason why their stronghold could survive here for more than ten years was because of Drunk Mountain's wise leadership, but the old man called Xu Wang beside him also contributed greatly!
Because he was a formation cultivator.
Many of the formations inside and outside the stronghold were set up by him.
In this apocalyptic world, what was the most precious? Naturally, it was all kinds of outer path talents. Formation cultivators, pill cultivators, weapon refiners …
Sects that were very common in the golden age were now sparse. There weren't many who could achieve something in these outer paths.
However, these external Daos were indispensable to cultivators. Spirit pills were needed when cultivating, formations were needed to protect the stronghold, and spirit weapons were needed for cultivators to kill enemies. None of these could be missing.
The stronghold controlled by Drunk Mountain didn't look big, but it had various kinds of reputation.
Within tens of thousands of miles, it was quite famous. Several nearby strongholds would often bring some materials to trade with them, exchanging them for some spirit pills.
Spirit weapons and so on.
As a result, the living environment of this stronghold was slightly better than other strongholds.
Xu Wang's seniority was quite high, and his reputation in the stronghold wasn't low. He had long passed the age of being surprised, but at this moment, he exclaimed as if he had seen something incredible.
"He … He … They …" Xu Wang pointed at the area covered by the formation in front of him, and couldn't finish his sentence for a while.
But in the next moment, Wu Jun knew what Xu Wang was shocked about. This was because two figures, one in front and one behind, walked out leisurely as if they were taking a stroll in a courtyard!
The formation that had guarded the stronghold for more than ten years didn't play any role in stopping or trapping the enemy.
Those two people should be the uninvited guests who were trapped in the array!
Wu Jun's eyes narrowed. The others' expressions also changed, and they all urged their spirit power to be on guard.
Behind Lu Ye, Ying Wuji didn't say a word.
At this moment, he finally understood the difference between himself and Lu Ye on the path of formations.
The gap between them.
The formation that trapped them was not very advanced, and Ying Wuji was able to do it.
It wouldn't be difficult to see through some flaws and crack them.
It would take some effort.
But he followed Lu Ye, one step to the east, one step to the west.
After a dozen or so steps, he actually walked out of the formation safely.
During this period, he did not activate any killing arrays.
Such a method clearly demonstrated his attainments in the Array Dao. Lu Yi.
Ye was miles ahead of him.
This sudden turn of events left Wu Jun and the others at a loss.
So far, they had never thought that there would be such a thing as
For someone to be able to walk out of the activated array in such a manner, it was highly doubtful.
Was the array broken?
Looking at the rolling fog in the formation, it was obvious that it was still in operation.
In the middle.
This was not good.
He didn't know whether this person was a friend or a foe. He had a preconceived notion.
Wu Jun had always felt that these two people had ulterior motives. Could it be that they wanted to use force?
However, once a battle broke out, if there was a Corpse Clan nearby, they would definitely …
Of course, they would be attracted here.
Looking at the two people in front of him, the one with the saber was older than Yuanxiang.
He was no more than one or two years old, but his expression was indifferent. His figure was like a pure lake. Although his aura was restrained, Wu Jun could still feel a faint sense of oppression from his body, as if that calm body contained an extremely terrifying power.
The other one looked sneaky and didn't seem to be someone to be trifled with.
He could only send a warning message and get the people in the stronghold to come out and help!
Just as Wu Jun made up his mind, Ku Xu Wang took two steps forward and cupped his hands politely. "This old man is Xu Wang, greetings.
Greetings, young friends. "
"Elder Xu …" Wu Jun and the other two were stunned. Because of Xu Wang's identity as an array cultivator, in the stronghold, he was only below Zuishan. Although he was easy-going and wasn't harsh on people, Wu Jun had never seen him so polite.
He was naturally stunned.
Xu Wang knew what he was thinking and waved his hand. He stared at Lu Ye and said, "This young friend was able to see through the formation's flaws without making a sound and walk out safely without breaking the formation. This old man admits defeat in his mastery of the Formation Dao."
To be able to break the formation he was so proud of so easily, this person's mastery of the Formation Dao was definitely much higher than his.
"Such a person would definitely be treated as an honored guest even if he went to those secret realms. Why would he set his eyes on a small stronghold like ours?"
Xu Wang's words were obviously for the others to hear.
Wu Jun and the others were stunned. They never thought that Xu Wang would give the newcomer such a high evaluation. It was somewhat unbelievable.
But on second thought, they knew that Xu Wang was right.
The secret realms had strict requirements for accepting people, but if he was really an extremely accomplished array cultivator, the secret realms would probably not reject him. They wouldn't have any crooked ideas about their small stronghold.
Could it be … he was wrong before, and these two people really didn't know anything about the outside world?
"Old Sir, you're too kind," Lu Ye replied indifferently. "It seems that our misunderstanding has been resolved?"
He didn't care too much about Yuan Xiang's previous actions. From Yuan Xiang's standpoint, what she did was right. She couldn't just casually bring an outsider back to the stronghold.
Moreover, these people didn't immediately kill him after the formation was activated. It was obvious that they planned to only capture him and not kill him.
This little disturbance couldn't even be considered a grudge.
"We were too sensitive, but this is a chaotic world. Please forgive us." Xu Wang apologized and gestured with his hand. "You two are guests from afar. Why don't you come in for a chat?"
He was already old and didn't have much longer to live. Although he had been searching for his successor in the stronghold all these years, he didn't find anyone with talent in the Formation Dao. No matter how he taught them, a few brats couldn't even reach the level of elegance.
If he could rope this Lu Yiye into the stronghold, even if he died in the future, the stronghold's safety would be guaranteed.
However, he only had this thought. He still needed to wait for Drunken Mountain to make a decision.
Moreover, he had to first investigate these two people's temperaments. As for their origins … it wasn't that important. In this chaotic world, it was already difficult to survive. Who would investigate someone's background?
As long as their temperament wasn't bad, they could be roped in.
"Alright!" Lu Ye replied and walked forward. Ying Wu hurriedly followed behind.
If he was alone, he definitely wouldn't be so relaxed. Going deep into someone else's stronghold was still somewhat dangerous.
However, with Lu Yiye, he didn't need to think too much.
He had to admit that Lu Yiye always gave people a great sense of security. It made him subconsciously feel that even if there was a dragon's lair or a tiger's den ahead, Lu Yiye could still kill them all.
He was suddenly shocked. How did his mentality become like this?
No, no, Lu Yiye was from Grand Heaven Alliance. He was an enemy, not a friend that he could rely on!
Ying Wuji secretly warned himself. His mood suddenly became inexplicably heavy. Xu Wang personally led Lu Ye and Ying Wuji to the stronghold. Yuan Xiang accompanied them. She looked guilty and wanted to say something.
However, she didn't say it in the end.
Along the way, Xu Wang casually asked about Lu Ye and Ying Wuji's origins. Lu Ye repeated what he said to Yuan Xiang.
Xu Wang didn't say anything. Naturally, he wouldn't believe it so easily.
The location of the stronghold was less than ten kilometers away from the formation. In front of an extremely hidden cave entrance, there were cultivators.
It was guarded, and there was even a formation concealing it.
Seeing Xu Wang lead people over, one of them flashed out from the shadows and looked at Lu Ye and Ying Wuji in surprise. "Elder Xu, they are …"
"Guests, there's no need to ask." Xu Wang waved his hand. "Yes!" That person replied and hid in the shadows again. It could be seen that Xu Wang had high prestige in the stronghold.
Following Xu Wang's actions, the concealed entrance to the stronghold was revealed. It was a dark cave, with dim firelight shining out from within.
"This way please!" Xu Wang said and led the way. As soon as they entered the cave, they saw the light of torches. Every section of the path was illuminated by torches.
They spiraled all the way down. Lu Ye estimated that they were at least three thousand feet underground. Suddenly, a huge karst cave appeared in front of them.
The karst cave was spacious, and there were many figures moving around inside.
On both sides of the karst cave were carved stone rooms. Seeing Xu Wang return, many people greeted him. At the same time, they looked curiously at Lu Ye and Ying Wuji.
To them, outsiders had appeared in the stronghold a long time ago. A stronghold like theirs usually wouldn't let outsiders in easily.
Lu Ye walked over and took a look. He roughly understood the overall strength of this stronghold.
There weren't many people, and their overall strength wasn't strong. More than half of them were mortals who had never cultivated.
In the current Unparalleled Continent, it was already difficult for cultivators to survive, let alone mortals. However, mortals were the foundation of cultivators. Without mortals to give birth to children, where would there be cultivators?
The children born between cultivators might not necessarily be suitable for cultivation.
Although the remaining half were cultivators, their cultivation was uneven. Most of them were only equivalent to the Spirit Stream Realm.
A stronghold like this couldn't even compare to the weakest Rank Nine Sect in the Nine States.
The lack of living materials made the mortals here look sallow and emaciated. Even the cultivators here were inferior to the people of the Nine States.
This was something that Lu Ye had noticed the moment he met Yuan Xiang and the others.
Therefore, at the same level of cultivation, the cultivators of the Nine States could completely defeat the cultivators here.
He just didn't know what the cultivators who came from the Secret Realm that didn't lack resources were like.
Xu Wang led Lu Ye and Ying Wuji to an empty stone room. He said, "The two of you can rest here for a while. This old man will go find Drunk Mountain."
He then instructed Yuan Xiang, "Greet the two guests before turning to leave.
"Brother Shen!"
"Mm!"
Shen Zhangqing walked on the road. When he met people he knew, he would greet them or nod to them.
But no matter who it was.
No one had any extra expression on their faces. It was as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Zhangqing was already used to it.
Because this was the Demon Suppression Department, an organization that maintained the stability of the Great Qin Empire. Their main duty was to kill demons and monsters. Of course, they also had other side jobs.
It could be said that.
In the Demon Suppression Department, everyone's hands were stained with a lot of blood.
When a person was used to life and death, they would become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Zhangqing wasn't used to it. But as time passed, he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Department was very big.
Those who could stay in the Demon Suppression Department were all powerful experts or people who had the potential to become experts.
Shen Zhangqing belonged to the latter.
The Demon Suppression Department was divided into two occupations. One was the Guardian and the other was the Demon Exorcist.
Anyone who entered the Demon Suppression Department would start from the lowest level, the Demon Exorcist.
Then, they would advance step by step until they finally had the chance to become a Guardian.
Shen Zhangqing's previous life was a Demon Exorcist trainee in the Demon Suppression Department. He was also the lowest level Demon Exorcist trainee.
He had the memories of his previous life.
He was also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Department.
It didn't take long for Shen Zhangqing to stop in front of a loft.
Different from the other places in the Demon Suppression Department that were filled with killing intent, this loft was like a crane in a flock of chickens. In the Demon Suppression Department that was filled with blood, it presented a different kind of tranquility.
At this time, the loft's door was open. Occasionally, people would come in and out.
Shen Zhangqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Entering the loft.
The environment suddenly changed.
A wave of ink mixed with a faint smell of blood hit him in the face. His brows instinctively furrowed, but they quickly smoothed out.
The smell of blood on everyone in the Demon Suppression Department was almost impossible to wash clean.
