After exchanging a few words with Zhang Yu, the middle-aged man eagerly led the way.
Zhang Yu and the rest followed him out of the airship dock and headed towards an underground station. After entering the dimly lit underground passage, the sunlight and warmth from the outside receded.
Zhang Yu asked the middle-aged man for his name and found out his name was Di Miao. He then asked, "Di Langjun, where are we heading to now?"
Di Miao hurriedly said, "To Ye Ya Province. The journey is slightly longer, so I'll have to trouble Xuanxiu for a few days."
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment. According to his prior understanding, Kui Constellation Star had more than six hundred large-scale settlements, and the number of small-scale settlements was even more uncountable.
According to the geographical division of Kui Constellation Star, the place he was standing on was called "Yueguan Province". Ye Ya Province was slightly further away, west of the central Yuanhai, at least twenty thousand miles away. It was relatively desolate and seemed to be a place where battles frequently occurred.
The most prosperous and stable place in the entire Kui Constellation was the "Tanquan Province" located in the center of the continent.
Directly above this province was the Yimei City of Shouzheng's army. There was also a clone of Xuan Zun and his disciple guarding the province. Unless there was a large-scale attack from the outside, nothing would happen there.
There were about a dozen people waiting on the station with luggage of various sizes. Some of them were even carrying children in their arms. They looked like ordinary people from the province.
When these people saw Zhang Yu and the rest walking over, especially when Zhang Yu was dressed as a Daoist cultivator, they subconsciously showed a look of reverence and moved away.
After waiting for a while, a rustling sound was heard. A slightly old vehicle entered the station.
After the light on the body of the car receded, one could see that the outer metal shell was full of bumps and hollows. Its luster was dim, and some parts had even completely peeled off.
Di Miao was slightly embarrassed and explained, "Xuanxiu, although this vehicle is old and shabby, I've ridden it many times. It's very stable."
Zhang Yu didn't care about this. Besides, Di Miao wasn't exaggerating. Although the vehicle looked shabby on the surface, it was only because it hadn't been repaired for a long time. The interior was still full of vitality and there was nothing wrong with it.
However, he noticed that almost all of the people sitting in the carriages in front of the carriage were armored soldiers.
These people were slightly different from the soldiers in the inner layer. Even though they were wearing outer armor, they still maintained their normal physique. However, their armor was covered in dust and dirt, and many places were stained with dried dark brown blood. One of them had half of his face armor missing, and only half of his face was covered in it.
These soldiers were all sitting there with wooden expressions. From the looks of it, it was obvious that they had just retreated from the battlefield.
"Zhang Xuanxiu, this way please." Di Miao called out from the front.
Hearing the sound, some of the soldiers at the front seemed to be alarmed and involuntarily became vigilant. After one or two of them saw Zhang Yu, their eyes became rather unfriendly.
A soldier looked at Zhang Yu and the others walking to the back carriage and muttered, "Cultivators, they came from the inner layer, right? Tsk tsk, cultivators are so good. They are different from us. They are provided with good food and drink. However, how many days does Old Li think they can live here? "
The person who was asked snorted, "How many days? They can live for a long time. If we die, they won't die. "
At this time, a serious-looking soldier glared at the two and said, "Don't talk so much. Our business has nothing to do with others."
The soldier's lips moved a few times, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Zhang Yu stepped into the back carriage. Compared to the crowded front carriage, it was very spacious. Their group occupied two carriages at the front and back.
Under Di Miao's arrangement, Li Qinghe and the others sat in the front carriage while Zhang Yu walked to the back carriage. Miao Danjun wagged his tail and followed.
After opening the carriage door, Zhang Yu saw a cultivator wearing a green cloak sitting inside. This person raised his head to look at him and then reached out to take off his hood, revealing a pair of clear eyes and a bun on his head. He stood up from his seat, raised his hands, and saluted, "Lian Zhuo, greetings, fellow cultivator."
Zhang Yu also took off his hood and saluted back, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist, Zhang Yu."
Lian Zhuo saw his face and couldn't help but be slightly absent-minded. However, he quickly recovered and sat back down. He asked, "Fellow Daoist, you brought a follower with you. Did you just come from the inner layer?"
Zhang Yu sat down on the soft couch and nodded, "Yes." Miao Danjun came to his feet and squatted down. When this little leopard cat didn't reveal itself, outsiders couldn't see it.
Lian Zhuo smiled, "I came half a year earlier than you. At first, I wasn't used to it, but now I'm used to it. Although there are frequent battles here, as long as we are careful, it's actually better than the inner layer. At least there are fewer restrictions."
He looked outside and said, "Fellow Daoist, don't mind the soldiers in front. I heard that these people were attacked by a Shangchen cultivator a few days ago. The cultivator who was supposed to cooperate with them abandoned them and ran away. Only these few soldiers were left of the 300 strong Heavenly Armored Army. No wonder they are full of resentment."
Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows, "Did that Fellow Daoist run away from the battle?"
Lian Zhuo said casually, "That depends on how you count it. If we can't win, the Heavenly City Army doesn't encourage us to fight to the death. Every cultivator's life is precious and will be more useful when we fight against the Shangchen cultivators in the future. Now, any death is a loss. If the timing is not right, we should retreat if we can."
Zhang Yu didn't understand the situation here, so he didn't make any rash comments. He only asked, "Do the Shangchen cultivators come here often to attack?"
Lian Zhuo replied, "That happens all the time. They come here mainly to look for the entrance to the inner layer. If they find it, the entire Earth Star may become their target. This is something we must avoid."
When he said this, he frowned slightly and took out a bottle of pills from his pocket. He poured out a pill and swallowed it. Only then did his expression calm down.
He raised his head and saw Zhang Yu looking at him. He thought for a while and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you know about the Outer Void Evil?"
Zhang Yu nodded, "I know a little."
The Outer Void Evil was the first problem that the cultivators from the inner layer had to face.
This kind of Outer Void Evil was very mysterious. If left alone, the cultivator's strength would be constantly weakened and their life would degenerate. In the end, they might even become an ordinary person.
The discomfort he felt that day was actually because of the Outer Void Evil.
Lian Zhuo said, "I was the first to come here. At first, I didn't feel anything and didn't think much of it. But after a few days, I actually felt hungry and tired.
You have to know that we don't eat and eat. Even if we use up a lot of our energy, we can still adjust ourselves. This is definitely because of the Outer Void Evil. “
He raised the bottle of pills in his hand, "This can only be overcome with pills. But it's fine usually. The more you use spells, the easier it is to be attacked. Every time I go back, I have to go into meditation for a while before I can recover. "
He looked at Zhang Yu and advised, "Fellow Daoist, you have to be careful too. It's best to take pills as soon as possible to prevent the Outer Void Evil from entering."
Zhang Yu nodded, "Thank you for the reminder."
After the discomfort that day, he thought that he would have to take pills to resist. But later, he used his heart force to activate the Heaven Bestowing Robe from time to time and successfully blocked the invasion here. Obviously, pills were not the only way to resist the Outer Void Evil.
As the two chatted, the carriage kept moving forward. A day later, they arrived at the station of the next Earth State. However, they were still two days away from Ye Ya State.
At this time, the people in the carriage could feel that the temperature outside had dropped a lot.
Zhang Yu's eyes flashed slightly. He looked through the ground and saw that the outside had become a world of ice and snow. The plains were covered with white snow.
He and Lian Zhuo were both cultivators and were not affected by this. Li Qinghe and the other two outside were also wearing divine robes and black armor. They were not afraid of the cold.
Not long after the carriage stopped, a middle-aged cultivator who looked to be in his forties entered the carriage. This person had deep eyebrows, clear cheeks, and sharp eyes. After entering, he saw Zhang Yu and Lian Zhuo. He cupped his hands and sat down without saying a word.
But not long after, there was a sudden noise outside. The noise was getting louder and louder. The carriage that was supposed to be moving did not move.
Zhang Yu turned his gaze and looked out through the cabin window. He saw a group of soldiers whose outer armor was full of cracks and dust trying to squeeze into the carriage. However, the carriage guard did not allow them.
One of the soldiers said angrily, "There are so many empty carriages. Why can't we get in? We have many injured comrades here. We need to send them to the Cauldron State for treatment. "
The guard refused, "We are a carriage that carries passengers. The tickets were booked long ago. We can't let you in for no reason."
At this time, a person who looked like a squad leader squeezed out. His outer armor was tattered and the exposed parts were full of frostbite. He cupped his hands and said, "Guard Guan, the state lacks doctors and medicine now. The injuries of our comrades can't be delayed. I see that the back of the carriage is still empty. I hope Guard Guan can make an exception and give us a ride. We will get off the carriage when we reach the state in front. We can double the fare."
Guan Wei was a little embarrassed, "It's not that I don't want to make an exception. There are several upper cultivators sitting in the back of the carriage …"
A soldier suddenly rushed up and said angrily, "Cultivators can fly. Why do they occupy the carriage? Where do you want to go? Can't you just fly there yourself? "
The squad leader stopped him and scolded, "Shut up!" He cupped his hands and said to Guan Wei, "Can you let us talk to those upper cultivators?"
In the carriage, the middle-aged cultivator suddenly looked at Zhang Yu and Lian Zhuo and said in a deep voice, "It's not easy for these soldiers. Let them in. What do you think, Fellow Daoists?"
Zhang Yu glanced at him and nodded slightly, "Okay."
Lian Zhuo, on the other hand, looked a little reluctant. However, seeing that the two had agreed, he could not object and only said, "Since you two Fellow Daoists have said so, let them in."
