The night was like a curtain, enveloping the sky.
The night of the Unparalleled Continent was once beautiful and enchanting. There was a sky full of stars and a bright moon.
But ever since the change in the sky, these things could no longer be seen.
During the day, the turbid sun shone in all directions, but at night, it was so dark that one couldn't even see their own fingers.
In the wilderness, bonfires flickered. Many mortals gathered together, hugging each other for warmth. Cultivators stood guard outside, guarding against everything that should be guarded against.
Wu Jun, who was missing an arm, and a few other cultivators were responsible for monitoring one direction.
Suddenly, someone seemed to be rapidly approaching under the thick curtain of night.
"Who is it!" Wu Jun issued a warning. "It's me!" The other party responded.
A familiar voice rang out, and Wu Jun heaved a sigh of relief. The leader was here!
Under the protection of Lu Ye, they had fled all the way from the stronghold to this place. This was also the meeting place that Drunk Mountain and Xu Wang had agreed on long ago. It was prepared in case they were separated from each other.
Now that Drunk Mountain had finally appeared, the group of people finally had someone to rely on.
Soon, the news of Drunk Mountain's return spread, and the oppressive and nervous atmosphere in the crowd dissipated.
Xu Wang went up to greet him. When he saw Drunk Mountain, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you hurt?" Drunk Mountain couldn't help but glance at Ying Wuji, who had followed them all the way here.
With this person here, getting hurt? That didn't exist.
"It's a long story." Drunk Mountain shook his head. If Ying Wuji hadn't suddenly appeared from the dark, not to mention meeting up with the team, even surviving would have been an extravagant hope.
"How is it here? Is the loss big? " Drunk Mountain asked in a deep voice.
After dealing with the group of people from the Pure Land, they also retreated through the secret passage. Along the way, they saw many corpses, which undoubtedly meant that the Pure Land cultivators were not the only ones who went to find trouble with them.
There were even more people blocking the secret passage, which made Drunk Mountain somewhat worried.
"Loss?" "There's no loss …" Xu Wang looked in a certain direction with a complicated expression. He felt that he would never be able to forget what he saw today.
When he walked out of the secret passage, a man stood there with a knife in his hand. Corpses were lying around him, and blood dyed the ground red, causing that person's figure to rise infinitely in everyone's hearts.
And that battle, from the beginning to the end, seemed to have only lasted for ten breaths.
With the strength of a single person, he had killed more than ten Pure Land cultivators, not including those who died in the secret passage.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Xu Wang wouldn't have dared to believe it.
"From the looks of it, that person's strength is beyond imagination. Zuishan vaguely sensed something and followed Xu Wang's gaze. He saw Lu Ye sitting there, chiseling a crystal in her hand with her Pan Shan Blade.
Along the way, the guest called Ying Wu Ji seemed to have seen through the many worries in his heart and comforted him.
"Your people are being escorted by my Senior Martial Brother. Don't worry about it.
If the lair of the Lost Dao Pure Land was there, he could go there alone. He was best at exterminating an entire family. "From his words, Ying Wu Ji seemed to have great confidence in his Senior Brother, and as he spoke, he seemed to recall some bad memories and couldn't help but shudder.
At the time, he had thought that Ying Wu Ji was exaggerating. After all, Ying Wu Ji's strength was beyond his imagination. If even Ying Wu Ji praised him so highly, then how strong must he be?
But now it seemed that it was true.
But that person didn't look like a bad person. He was just silent and his expression was a bit cold. Had he ever killed people? After a few simple words with Xu Wang, Zuishan came to Lu Ye and bowed. "Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Ying, thank you for your help. I won't forget today's kindness." At this point, we can finally confirm one thing. These two people really didn't have any evil intentions towards their stronghold.
"It just so happened, don't mind it." Lu Ye casually replied.
Ying Wu Ji said, "If the stronghold over there is abandoned, where else can you go?" "There is a backup stronghold three hundred miles away from here. We need to go there." Zuishan replied.
"That's good." Ying Wu Ji nodded.
Zuishan bowed again. "I would like to ask the two of you to escort me. Would the two of you be willing?" There are many mortals in the team, so it's inconvenient to walk. Both Lu Ye and Ying Wu Ji are powerful. With their escort, our safety can be guaranteed.
But they just met by chance. Why would they help him? The stronghold couldn't offer them anything that could tempt them.
Zuishan could only sincerely plead.
Ying Wu Ji almost agreed, but he quickly glanced at Lu Ye. "My Senior Brother has to make the decision." Although he could see that Lu Ye wanted to be a good person to the end, he didn't dare to agree on his behalf.
"Of course." Lu Ye nodded. Zuishan was overjoyed. "Then, thank you!" "Leader, go ahead. Don't worry about us." Zuishan left.
Ying Wu Ji looked at Lu Yi Ye and couldn't help but chuckle. He whispered, "Lu Yi Ye, you're actually not a bad person."
Lu Ye didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. "What makes you think I'm a bad person?"
Ying Wu Ji snorted. "Did you get the title of Sect Destroying Ye for nothing?" “
"In the Nine Regions, the two camps are at war. There's no such thing as a good person or a bad person. They're just pitiful people who can't help themselves. From the perspective of Wan Mo Ridge, I, Lu Yi Ye, have killed countless people and have committed countless crimes. I'm indeed a heinous person, but that's just a different perspective. From the perspective of Haotian Alliance, can you, Ying Wu Ji, be considered a good person?" Ying Wu Ji smacked his lips. "I'm just saying. You don't have to make a long speech. I understand. You're obviously younger than me, but you act like an old man. So boring." Lu Ye looked up at him. "Are you getting carried away? Or am I too weak? Or have I been too nice to you recently?" Ying Wu Ji's expression changed immediately. "Lu Yi Ye, let's chat. Don't threaten me. It's boring!" 1 Go far away like you're avoiding the god of plague. I can't afford to offend you, but I can hide!
Lu Ye continued to chisel at the crystal in his hand with his Pan Shan Saber. It's not just to refine the sound transmission stone. This kind of meticulous chiseling is also a kind of subtle training in the art of the saber.
Before dawn, under the call of the cultivators, the group set off.
If it was peaceful times, the cultivators could use their spiritual energy to carry the mortals and fly. They wouldn't have to go through so much hardship.
But in today's world, when the cultivators travel outside, they will not use their spiritual energy unless it's necessary. Firstly, it's to preserve their own strength. Secondly, they are afraid that the fluctuations of their spiritual energy will cause unnecessary trouble. 3 So the entire group is walking on the ground. A distance of three hundred miles is considered far for mortals. But in order to survive, they have no choice but to do so.
If one day, the Wushuang Continent can return to normal, the younger generations will recall their ancestors' journey today. That will definitely be a heavy and vicissitude of history.
Along the way, they hid here and there. Fortunately, there weren't any twists and turns. Fate seems to be taking care of this group that is struggling to survive. Zuishan and the others have been worried about the Corpse Clan and the Human Clan that are similar to the cultivators of the Pure Land.
It wasn't until the evening of the second day that the group finally arrived at the location of the backup stronghold.
Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone the Human Clan that is struggling to survive in the apocalypse.
As early as ten years ago, when they settled down in the original stronghold, Zuishan led people to dig out a stronghold here for future use.
But for more than ten years, it has not been used. Today, it has become a life-saving place.
The new stronghold's environment has not changed much compared to the original stronghold. It is also located two to three hundred feet underground.
Zuishan led people in to investigate. After confirming that this stronghold has no traces of being discovered by outsiders, he led the group in to settle down.
At this time, the wandering is finally over, and the people who were on tenterhooks can finally be relieved.
Zuishan settled everyone in the stronghold.
Lu Ye received Xu Wang's invitation to set up a formation near the entrance of the stronghold.
As early as the first time he saw Lu Ye, Xu Wang knew that he had extremely high attainments in the Dao of Formations. Now that he wants to set up a new formation, he naturally has some thoughts.
Lu Ye did not refuse this, which made Xu Wang grateful.
When they worked together to set up the formation, Xu Wang asked a lot of questions. Lu Ye also told him everything he knew, which benefited Xu Wang a lot.
When the formation was set up, Xu Wang's eyes even flashed with tears.
Such a large formation is much more powerful than the one he arranged. Even if the formation's power is not activated, he can feel that with such a large formation protecting the stronghold in the future, there will be no need to worry about people with ulterior motives coming to the stronghold.
Before leaving, Lu Ye handed a jade slip to Xu Wang, "Inside is my understanding and comprehension of the Dao of Formations."

When Xu Wang received it, his dry hands could not help but tremble. In today's world, such things are too precious. His Dao of Formations is self-taught from a broken ancient text, so it is not systematic at all, so his achievements are limited.
Perhaps he learned from a broken ancient text, it can be seen that Xu Wang's talent in the Dao of Formations is not low. Now that Lu Ye gave him this jade slip, he may be able to make some breakthroughs in the Dao of Formations in his lifetime.
In the apocalyptic world, such things are countless times more precious than cultivation resources, but Lu Ye casually gave it to him. How can Xu Wang not be grateful?
"Little Friend, are you leaving?" “
Although he had guessed it, when it really came to this, Xu Wang can't help but feel regretful. If such a talent can stay in the stronghold, how good would that be?
But he also understands that the pond can't hold a flood dragon in the end. Eagles are destined to soar above the Nine Heavens.
For those two, their stronghold is too small after all, and they don't have the capital to keep people here.
