With the current situation, it would be difficult to find the location of the Sealed World.
Although the Peerless Continent was broken, it was still vast. Without a suitable method, finding the Sealed World was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Inside the stone room, Lu Ye remained silent while Ying Wu Ji was filled with melancholy.
Xu Wang quietly winked at Drunken Mountain from the side, but Drunken Mountain only shook his head imperceptibly.
Previously, he had gone to find Drunken Mountain and told him everything he knew about Lu Ye and Ying Wu Ji, especially about Lu Ye's attainments in Array Dao.
[Initial Evolution]
If such people could be roped into the stronghold, the safety of the stronghold would be greatly guaranteed in the future. Thus, he had suggested to Drunken Mountain to find a way to rope in these two people and see if they could stay.
But after Drunken Mountain learned that Lu Ye and Ying Wu Ji's goal was the Sealed World, he gave up on this idea.
Their ambitions were higher than the heavens and it was understandable that they wanted to join the Sealed World, so why would they care about a small stronghold like theirs? Even if he asked, it would not be as he wished. He might as well not ask for a rebuff.
"Do you have a map of this world?" Lu Ye suddenly asked.
Drunken Mountain shook his head, "After a thousand years, the realm has been broken and many sects have lost their legacies. Most of the remaining humans are living an ignoble existence, hiding in hiding. Many of them have never left their strongholds from birth to death. Even for cultivators like us, the range of activity is limited. If little brother wants a topographic map of the surrounding ten thousand kilometers, I have it here, but if you want a topographic map of this realm, I'm afraid that only the secret realm has it."
She really didn't get anything she wanted.
Lu Ye nodded slightly. He had guessed this and was not disappointed.
"If that's the case, then you two should rest first. If you need anything, feel free to come find me."
Since he could not rope in these two people and there was no need to continue investigating their origins, Drunken Mountain had no intention of staying.
In his opinion, these two people were probably just passers-by. They had saved Yuan Xiang's life, so the stronghold should treat them well. Who knew when they would leave.
When Drunken Mountain stood up, a buzzing sound came from above and even the stone room shook slightly. It seemed like there were people fighting above.
He paled and Xu Wang also exclaimed, "Not good, the Array has been activated!"
Under normal circumstances, the formation he had set up outside would not be activated. Even if it was in an activated state like before, it would not be activated easily.
In such a world, it was not easy to set up a formation. Unless it was absolutely necessary, the formation was only used as a deterrent. Moreover, once it was activated, it would definitely cause a huge commotion and there was a possibility that the location of the stronghold would be exposed. But now that the formation had been activated, there was no doubt that the person guarding the formation had encountered an extremely bad situation. The two of them turned to look at Lu Ye and Ying Wu Ji almost at the same time, their expressions filled with shock and anger.
From their point of view, the stronghold had been peaceful for more than ten years. However, as soon as these two people arrived, the formation was activated. Naturally, it made people think that they were spies of some force who had lured some enemy over.
Ying Wu Ji noticed this and hurriedly said, "It has nothing to do with us!"
Drunk Mountain pondered for a moment before nodding, "This one has lost his composure, please don't take offense."
Regardless of whether or not the matter was related to these two people, a conflict could not break out in the stronghold. There were many mortals living here. If a fight broke out, those mortals would not be able to withstand the aftermath of a fight between cultivators.
The commotion outside alarmed everyone in the stronghold.
Many cultivators walked out of the stone rooms and gathered in one place. The atmosphere was tense, but no one flinched. The mortals also hurriedly gathered in another place. Although their expressions were filled with fear, no one shouted.
It could be seen that in this chaotic world, these people had already summed up some ways to survive. At the very least, they could not panic no matter what happened.
"Old Man Xu, stay here. I'll lead some people out to take a look." Drunk Mountain dropped these words and walked out of the stone room, but before he could gather his men, a bloodied young man holding a sword rushed into the stronghold. It was Wu Jun, the one Yuan Xiang called Big Brother Wu.
At this moment, he was missing an arm and blood was flowing out of the wound. His face was also stained with blood. Seeing Drunk Mountain, he hurriedly said, "Leader, it's the Pure Land!" "Are you sure it's them?" Drunk Mountain's eyes narrowed.
The group of cultivators standing behind Drunk Mountain also suddenly panicked.
The Pure Land was not a Sect. In today's world, apart from the many complete inheritances of Sects in the Three Great Secret Realms, the Human Race no longer had any Sects. They basically existed in the form of strongholds of various sizes.
The Pure Land was the name of a large stronghold of the Human Race. Although the name was bright and righteous, it was actually quite notorious.
This was because they would often rob the Human Race strongholds that were weaker than them, and even abduct people to strengthen themselves.
Nowadays, there was a saying in all the strongholds of the Human Race that one would rather encounter the Corpse Race than the Pure Land.
At the very least, the Corpse Race was an enemy on the surface. If they couldn't defeat them, they would just die.
However, the people of the Pure Land were a group of lunatics. Once they fell into the hands of the Pure Land, they would suffer such torture.
Moreover, they were all humans. If they disguised themselves, no one would be able to see through their identities.
Another point was that the cultivators of the Pure Land were generally very high in cultivation. They seemed to have cultivated a kind of evil technique that allowed them to absorb the Spiritual Qi of others to strengthen themselves. Therefore, the people of the Pure Land were very enthusiastic about attacking other strongholds of the Human Race.
Through this method, they could plunder the materials they needed and capture the Human Race cultivators in the strongholds to cultivate. Originally, Zuishan wanted to take people out to see the situation. However, when he heard that the people who came were actually from the Pure Land, he immediately gave up the idea. With the little foundation of the stronghold, it was impossible for them to be opponents of the Pure Land.
Nowadays, the Human Race's hatred for the Corpse Race was naturally endless. However, their hatred for forces like the Pure Land was even higher than the Corpse Race. No matter where and when, when a race's survival was on the verge of extinction, those who still fought against each other would naturally be disliked by others.
"How did they find us?" Zuishan couldn't figure it out.
Wu Jun's expression was gloomy, "I saw Little Fifth among the people of the Pure Land …" Ci Shan suddenly realized.
Little Fifth was also a member of the stronghold. Previously, he went out with others to search for materials. He had been missing for a month. No one knew if he was alive or dead. This matter was very normal in today's world. Everyone thought that they encountered the Corpse Race. All they could do was to cherish the memory in their hearts.
However, now it seemed that Little Fifth and the others didn't encounter the Corpse Race, but the people of the Pure Land.
During this period, there must be some inhumane torture and interrogation. It was inevitable that the stronghold's location was exposed. Zuishan immediately understood that today's matter really had nothing to do with the two guests. It was just a coincidence. "Elder Xu, count the people and bring them out through the secret passage."
Zuishan gave the order.
Xu Wang didn't waste time and nodded, "Okay!"
Zuishan pointed out a few more cultivators, "You guys, follow me and stop them!"
There were many mortals in the stronghold. Even if there was a secret passage, their speed wouldn't be too slow. Someone was bound to stay behind to cover the retreat. Even if there was a formation in this cave that Xu Wang had set up before, it was still extremely dangerous to stay behind to cover the retreat.
However, even if they had a clear understanding of the situation, the few people who were pointed out still stood out without hesitation.
In the stone room, Lu Ye and Ying Wuji watched quietly.
Ying Wuji couldn't help but sigh, "The people of this stronghold are still very united." It should be Zuishan's usual leadership. That was why they could follow orders at this critical moment. "You stay as well." Lu Ye ordered Dan Dan as he walked out.
"Ah?" Ying Wuji was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he couldn't help but feel angry, muttering, "You want me to do all the dirty work? Do you really think of yourself as a Senior Brother?"
When they first encountered the ruined city, Lu Yi Ye had asked him to scout for information. Now he had to cover the retreat as well. This was really unreasonable!
Lu Yi Ye was really too much of a bully. When he had a use for him, he casually ordered him around, but when he didn't need him anymore, he didn't even want to talk to him. He just stared at him, making him feel inexplicably pressured.
Although he was unhappy, Ying Wuji wasn't willing to just leave like this.
From the reactions of Ci Shan and the others, it could be seen that the so-called Pure Land's people weren't easy to deal with. As a ghost cultivator, he was indeed suitable to stay behind and cover the retreat. His figure quickly turned black and then disappeared.
On the other side, Lu Ye had already arrived in front of Xu Wang, who was commanding everyone to retreat through the secret passage. He went straight to the point, "If you trust me, I can open a path in front." Xu Wang stared at him for a moment and gritted his teeth, "Then I'll leave it to you, little friend!"
Lu Ye nodded slightly and stepped forward, walking into the secret passage.
Xu Wang signaled with his eyes and a few cultivators with higher cultivation immediately followed Lu Ye. They gathered their spiritual power and were ready to release their strongest attack at any time.
Regardless of whether Lu Ye was related to the Pure Land's people or not, he had to open a path in front. However, Xu Wang also made arrangements to prevent them from being schemed against. In the end of the world, people's hearts were hard to predict. Even a little girl like Yuan Xiang wouldn't easily trust others, let alone a crafty old fox like Xu Wang.
There were definitely secret passages in the stronghold, and there was more than one. They all led to different directions and positions. This way, they could ensure that they had a way out at any time. If there was no way out, once the stronghold was attacked, wouldn't they have to fight to the death?
It would be fine if they won, but if they couldn't, they could only die.
This was also the way to survive.
The secret passage wasn't very wide. At most, it could only accommodate three people walking side by side. There were many twists and turns along the way.
With Xu Wang leading the way, Lu Ye only needed to move forward. He didn't walk very fast, mainly because he had to take care of the many mortals behind him.
Even so, those mortals had to run to keep up. The children and the elderly needed the help of cultivators with their spiritual power, otherwise they would definitely fall behind.
At the same time, in the stronghold's cave, Zui Shan and the others were waiting with rapt attention.
Accompanied by a long laugh, a figure walked in. The aura on his body was evil and wild, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
When Zui Shan saw this person, his heart sank.
A great enemy!
