The night is like a curtain, covering the sky.
The nights in Wushuang Continent used to be beautiful and enchanting, with stars all over the sky and a bright moon.
But since the heavenly change, these things have never been seen again.
During the day, there is still a turbid sun shining in all directions, but at night, it is so dark that you can't even see your fingers.
In the wilderness, bonfires danced, and many mortals gathered together to keep warm, while the monks were on guard outside, taking precautions against everything that should be guarded against.
Wu Jun, who was missing an arm, and several other monks were responsible for monitoring one direction.
Suddenly, someone seemed to be approaching quickly under the thick night cover.
"Who!" Wu Jun warned.
"It's me!" the other party responded.
A familiar voice came and Wu Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
The leader is here!
This group of people, with the support of Lu Ye, fled all the way from the stronghold to this place. This was also the meeting place that Zuishan and Xu Wang had discussed long ago, and it was prepared in case they were separated from each other.
After waiting until now, when Zuishan finally showed up, a group of people suddenly had hope in their hearts.
Soon, the news of Zuishan's return spread, and the depressed and anxious atmosphere among the crowd dissipated.
Xu Wan went up to greet him, and when he saw Zuishan, he couldn't help but ask: "Are you not injured?"
Zuishan couldn't help but glance at Ying Wuji, who had followed them all the way here...
With this person here, hurt? It doesn’t exist.
"It's hard to explain in words." Zuishan shook his head. If Ying Wuji hadn't suddenly burst out from the darkness, those of them who were left behind would not have been able to join the team, or even live in fear.
"How's it going here? Is the loss big?" Zuishan asked in a deep voice.
After dealing with the group of people from the Pure Land, they also retreated from the secret passage. They saw many corpses along the way, which undoubtedly showed that the Pure Land monks who came to trouble them were not just the ones they met.
There are more blocked in the secret passage, which makes Zuishan a little worried.
"Loss? No loss..." Xu Wang glanced in a certain direction with a complicated expression, feeling that he would never forget the scene he saw today.
When walking out of the secret passage, a man stood alone with a knife, surrounded by corpses, and the blood dyed the ground red, making that man's figure infinitely higher in everyone's minds...
And that battle, from the confrontation to the end, seemed to last only ten breaths.
With one person's power, he killed more than ten Pure Land monks, not including those who died in the secret passage.
If Xu Wang hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that there was such a strong person in the world.
"It seems that that person's strength is beyond imagination?" Zuishan was vaguely aware of it. He followed Xu Wan's gaze and saw Lu sitting there, holding a Panshan knife to carve a crystal in his hand.
leaf.
On the way, the guest named Ying Wuji seemed to see the many worries in his heart and once comforted him.
"Your people are escorted by my senior brother. Don't worry about it. What a bullshit Pure Land. He can kill as many people as he comes. If you know where the lair of the Pure Land is, he can pick it out single-handedly. He is best at killing people."
It’s all over the place.”
As he spoke, Ying Wuji 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 that time, he thought Ying Wuji was a bit exaggerated. After all, Ying Wuji's strength was beyond his imagination. Even Ying Wuji praised him so much, so how powerful should he be?
But now it seems like it's true.
But... that guy doesn't look like a bad guy, he's just taciturn, his expression is cold, and he kills people all over the house. Has he done this before?
After briefly chatting with Xu Wan, Zuishan came to Lu Ye and saluted seriously: "Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Ying, thank you both for your generous actions. Today's kindness will never be forgotten by me."
At this point, one thing is finally certain.
These two people really have no ill intentions toward their stronghold.
"It's just the right time, don't worry about it." Lu Ye replied lightly.
Ying Wuji said: "The stronghold over there is abandoned, is there any place for you to stay?"
"There is a backup stronghold three hundred miles away from here, and we are going there." Zuishan replied.
"That's good." Ying Wuji nodded.
Zuishan bowed again: "I would also like to ask you two to escort me for a while. I wonder if you two are willing?"
There are many mortals in the team and it is difficult to walk. Both Lu Ye and Ying Wuji are powerful. With their escort, safety can be guaranteed.
But when they met by chance, why would they help me? There was nothing the stronghold could offer that would make them interested.
So Zuishan could only sincerely plead.
"No..." Ying Wuji almost agreed, and quickly glanced at Lu Ye again: "This is up to my senior brother."
Although he saw that Lu Ye also had the intention of being a good person and going to the end, he did not dare to agree to this matter rashly for him.
"Okay." Lu Ye nodded lightly.
Zuishan was overjoyed: "That's it, thank you both!"
"Chief, go and do your own business, don't worry about us."
Zuishan left.
Ying Wuji looked at Lu Yiye from side to side, couldn't help but chuckle, and whispered: "Lu Yiye, this guy... is actually not bad."
Lu Ye didn't even bother to raise his eyes: "What makes you think I'm a bad person?"
Ying Wuji sneered: "How could the name of the Sect-Destroying Leaf be earned in vain?"
"Under the general trend of Kyushu, the two camps are in constant confrontation. There are no real good guys or bad guys. They are just poor people who are trapped in it and can't help themselves. From the standpoint of your Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, I, Lu Yiye,
He has killed countless people and committed many crimes. He is indeed a heinous person, but that is just a different stance. From the standpoint of the Haotian Alliance, can you, Ying Wuji, be considered a good person?"
Ying Wuji smacked his lips: "I'll just say it casually. You don't have to make a long speech. I understand the truth. You are obviously not as old as me, but you are so old-fashioned. It's really boring."
Lu Ye raised his eyes and looked at him: "Are you drifting off, or am I unable to lift the knife, or am I being too nice to you recently?"
Ying Wuji immediately changed his expression: "Lu Yiye, just chat, don't threaten or intimidate, it's not interesting!"
Like the god of avoidance, he walked far away.
If you can't afford to offend, I can hide!
Lu Ye continued to hold the Panshan knife and carve the crystal in his hand.
Not only for refining the sound transmission stone, this kind of careful carving is also a subtle practice in swordsmanship for him.
Before dawn, the team started to set off under the greetings of the monks.
If it were a peaceful time, the monks could mobilize their spiritual power and coerce mortals to fly in the air, without having to go through such hardships.
But in today's world, monks are walking outside and will never use spiritual power at will unless necessary. Firstly, they want to preserve their own strength, and secondly, they are afraid that fluctuations in spiritual power will cause unnecessary trouble.
So the entire team moved forward on foot on the ground.
Three hundred miles is already a long way for ordinary people, but in order to survive, they have to do this.
If one day, Wushuang Continent can return to normal, and the younger generations will look back on the difficult journeys of their ancestors today, it will definitely be a historical picture of heavy vicissitudes of life.
We traveled all the way and hid in XZ. Fortunately, there were no twists and turns. Fate seemed to be favoring this team that struggled to survive. The corpse tribe and the human race like the Pure Land monks that Zuishan and others had been worried about did not come across.
It was not until the evening of the next day that the team finally arrived at the location of the backup stronghold.
The cunning rabbit still has three caves, not to mention the human race who are trying to survive in the apocalypse.
As early as more than ten years ago, when he settled in the original stronghold, Zuishan led people to dig out a stronghold here for future use.
However, it has not been used for more than ten years.
Today, it has become a life-saving place.
Compared with the original stronghold, the environment of the new stronghold has not changed much, and the location is two to three hundred feet underground.
Zuishan led the people in to investigate and made sure that there was no trace of outsiders discovering this stronghold, and then he led the team in and settled down.
At this point, the wandering and running around was finally over, and everyone who was worried finally felt relieved.
Zuishan settled everyone in the stronghold.
Lu Ye received Xu Wang's invitation and together they set up a formation near the entrance of the stronghold.
As early as the first time he met Lu Ye, Xu Wang knew that he had extremely high attainments in formations. Now that he had to rearrange the formations, he naturally had some thoughts.
Lu Ye did not refuse this, which made Xu Wang burst into tears of gratitude.
When setting up the formation together, Xu Huan asked for many advices, and Lu Ye also explained everything he knew, which greatly benefited Xu Huan.
When the formation was completed, Xu Wan even had tears in his eyes.
Such a large formation is much more powerful than the one he deployed. Even if the power of the large formation is not activated, he can still feel that with such a large formation protecting the stronghold, he no longer has to worry about being attacked by someone with ulterior motives.
People come looking for me.
At the end of the day, Lu Ye handed Xu Wan a jade slip: "It contains many of my understanding and insights about the formation."
When Xu Wang took it, his big dry hands couldn't help but tremble.
In today's world, such things are too precious. His formation method was self-taught from a ruined classic. It was not systematic at all, so his achievements were limited.
He may have been self-taught from a broken classic. This shows that Xu Wang's talent in the formation is not low. Now that he has this jade slip given to him by Lu Ye, he may be able to make a breakthrough in the formation in his lifetime.
In the apocalypse, such things are countless times more precious than cultivation resources, but Lu Ye handed it to him casually, how could Xu Wan not be grateful?
"My little friend, are you leaving now?"
Although he had already speculated, at this moment, Xu Wang still couldn't help but feel regretful. It would be great if such a talented person could stay in the stronghold.
But he also understood that the pond would eventually be unable to accommodate the dragon.
The eagle is also destined to soar in the nine heavens.
For those two people, their stronghold was too small after all, and they had no capital to retain people.
