Half a month has passed since Chen Mu killed the great demon Gu Yi in Qingzhou Town.
After that, Chen Mu set out from Fengyang County and swept across all directions, eradicating all the large numbers of monsters gathered in Luofeng Valley and killing four of them.
Only one of them was not in Luofeng Valley and disappeared without a trace, so he was lucky enough to escape.
After that, Chen Mu stayed in Qingzhou for a short period of time, explored various places in Qingzhou, and killed three more avatars one after another.
In an instant, all the big monsters in Qingzhou disappeared and did not dare to show their heads.
The influence of a third-level magician on the situation is too great, far more than that of a second-level martial arts master, because whether it is exploration or action, the range is far wider than that of a second-level martial arts master.
A third-grade magician is enough to bring peace to a state!
It's just that there are only three third-level magicians in Dayuan today. One of them is sitting in the Star Observation Tower and cannot leave, and the other is in Wusheng Abyss. The only one who can walk around the world is Chen Mu.
Si Tiantai has a strict hierarchy. A fourth-grade magician can be appointed as Si Chen, and a third-grade magician can be appointed as the headmaster.
There are four seasons in Sitiantai, namely spring, summer, autumn and winter, of which spring and winter are both present. Chen Mu chose to be in charge of the four seasons of autumn during summer and autumn, becoming the third headmaster of Sitiantai.
And just when the news spread throughout the world, Chen Mu had left Qingzhou gracefully.
…
Nanlizhou.
This is the southernmost part of Dayuan. Its scope is almost the same as Youzhou, but it is not included in the jurisdiction of Dayuan. It is a chaotic area.
Its environment is even worse than that of Youzhou, with poisonous swamps and miasma everywhere, poisonous insects and evil beasts everywhere, and all kinds of dangerous places everywhere.
To say that the environment is so bad, when the demons chaos the land, this place should be the most affected, but the actual situation is exactly the opposite. Nanli is the least affected state.
the reason is simple.
Even in ordinary times, this state is no different from the land of demons and chaos.
Many dangerous places are even inhabited by many great demons, many of which are human-level demons. Even for Dayuan, it would cost a huge price to exterminate them all.
Not to mention some of these dangerous places, even a second-level martial arts grand master will encounter threats if he goes deep into them. Many monsters are hiding in them, and even the grand master is unwilling to go deep into them to eliminate them.
In a small town, there are probably many monsters wandering around in the dark.
A remote village is more likely to be ruled by monsters, and must pay tribute to the monsters with blood and food.
In some places, statues of monsters are even enshrined and worshiped as gods.
Somewhere in a barren mountain.
A group of more than ten people were walking through the mountains.
The movements of this group of people are flexible and quick, and they all obviously have martial arts skills. The weakest one is also at the seventh level.
"Second Miss, walk ten miles east from here to the Huangxian Temple. It's too dangerous at night, so it's better to rest there for the night and continue on your way tomorrow morning."
One of the men, who looked like a guard, walked up to a girl in yellow in the center of the queue and whispered for instructions.
Lu Shiyun looked at the gradually darkening sky, nodded and said:
"Okay, let's go to Huangxian Temple to rest for the night."
She looked about twenty years old, but she had a faint martial spirit in her body, and she seemed to be a sixth-level martial artist.
Being able to practice to the sixth level of martial arts at this age is only slightly inferior to those of Lin Yue and other eight sects. Putting it in any place, it is enough to be called an outstanding aptitude.
Swish! Swish!
The group of people changed their route, from heading straight southeast to heading due east.
For many warriors, a mere ten miles away arrived in an instant. After crossing a desolate mountainous area, a ruined temple appeared in front of them.
This temple has obviously been abandoned for many years, some walls have even collapsed, red and green moss is growing everywhere, and many dense spider webs can even be seen.
"It's only been three years and it's already in this state of desolation."
An older guard sighed.
Lu Shiyun came closer, looked at the dilapidated appearance of the temple, and said, "The Huang Xian enshrined in this temple must be gone?"
"Um."
The guard next to him nodded and said: "It is said that three years ago, I encountered the snake god of Black Forest Mountain. After a battle, I was swallowed alive by the snake god."
In Nanlizhou, any great demon that has reached the level of transformation can often occupy a mountain and become its king. The people who rely on this place often regard it as an immortal god. It is also common for these 'immortal gods' to fight with each other.
Sometimes, once the body dies, it will be abandoned immediately, and even the temple will be smashed to pieces.
The Huangxian Temple was not razed to the ground. It was obvious that the Huangxian was kind to the people in his territory and did not bully them excessively. Otherwise, after his death, the temple should have been smashed to pieces long ago.
"Huang Xian..."
Lu Shiyun murmured.
Ninth-level martial artists can only stand on an equal footing with these demons and gods when they reach the third-level master realm. Otherwise, even if they reach the fourth-level inhuman realm, they will have to bow before them.
"Let's go."
After just murmuring, the girl quickly came to her senses, walked towards the dilapidated Huangxian Temple, crossed the dilapidated door, and entered the temple.
But just after a group of people entered the temple, they were suddenly startled, because the temple was not empty, but someone had already arrived.
I saw that the east corner of the temple had been cleaned up.
There are two figures in the corner.
One of them looked very young and seemed to be about the same age as Lu Shiyun, while the other was much younger and seemed to be only about twelve or thirteen years old.
The older young man, wearing a simple cloth, was sitting cross-legged on a futon with his eyes closed. He seemed not to notice the arrival of the people, but also seemed not to notice them if he did.
This young man is Chen Mu.
The reason for appearing in Nanlizhou is very simple. He met a dead soul in the netherworld, and his obsession is to return to his hometown, and his hometown is Nanlizhou.
So Chen Mu took the ashes of the dead soul with him and went all the way to Nanli.
As for the young boy next to Chen Mu, he is also related to him. He is the adopted son of another dead soul. This dead soul's obsession is to train the young man to become a warrior and inherit his mantle. However, he has accumulated old wounds from many years of traveling in the world.
Seriously, the boy died before he reached the age to practice martial arts.
The level of these two dead souls was not very high, but in line with the idea of not missing out when encountering them, Chen Mu took over them all.
The boy’s name is Li Chenxing,
Now he is Chen Mu's registered disciple, and he was brought to Nanli by Chen Mu.
Lu Shiyun looked at Chen Mu and Li Chenxing with some surprise, reacted quickly, and apologized: "You two are disturbing me, I didn't expect someone was already here."
In the barren mountains and ridges, a young man and a younger boy were obviously not ordinary people. What's more, they were all warriors. When they came over, no one noticed in advance that there was someone in the temple.
"In a land without an owner, it's up to you to do whatever you want."
Chen Mu opened his eyes, glanced at Lu Shiyun and others, and replied calmly.
Lu Shiyun nodded, and together with the guards around her, they also cleaned up the area on the west side of the temple, and then gathered there.
During this process, Lu Shiyun was also quietly looking at Chen Mu and Li Chenxing. The more she looked at them, the more surprised she became.
Li Chenxing was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he was standing in a basic posture. He had obviously just started practicing martial arts, but he was completely motionless. He turned a deaf ear to the movements of so many of them cleaning up dust and rubble, as if they had completely
Immersed in a state of trance.
To be able to enter such a deep state of concentration at this age is obviously an extraordinary qualification.
Not to mention Chen Mu.
Sitting there, there was a vague feeling of transcendence, and the whole person seemed to be integrated with the surrounding environment. If he didn't see it in front of his eyes, he wouldn't even be aware of Chen Mu's existence.
"Tian Lao..."
Lu Shiyun looked at Chen Mu carefully, and at the same time cast a questioning look at an old man beside her.
The martial artist known as Mr. Tian had the strongest aura among the group of people, and he seemed to be at the fifth level of martial arts.
Mr. Tian looked at Chen Mu, frowned slightly, and whispered: "It feels a bit strange, but it should be at the fifth level of martial arts."
"Fifth grade?"
Lu Shiyun's eyes showed a little surprise.
She felt that Chen Mu seemed to be a little younger than her, and his martial arts cultivation was already at the fifth level. This was not simply a level one higher, but rather unbelievable.
Mr. Tian whispered: "Although there are some ways to hide your age, no matter how you hide it, it will not completely eliminate the traces. This person must be very young and must be a person with a background. If you can make friends, you can make friends, but if you can't make friends,
Don’t offend either.”
"Um."
Lu Shiyun nodded.
After a while.
Lu Shiyun and his party cleared a place, and someone brought a wild deer back from outside. They lit a fire and roasted the wild deer on the fire.
Mr. Tian looked in the direction of Chen Mu, smiled and said: "I am here to worship the Lu family in Ningfeng City. Meeting each other is fate. I wonder if you two would like to appreciate it and come over for a drink."
Chen Mu looked at Mr. Tian and others, thought for a moment, and said: "Yes, meeting each other is fate, so it is better to be respectful than to obey."
He only learned about the situation in Nanlizhou from books and did not go into depth. There were indeed a few things he wanted to ask these Nanli people about.
The ecology of this place also surprised him. The various temples enshrined were all cows, ghosts and snake gods. It seemed that humans and monsters coexisted harmoniously, but in fact, the entire Nanli was obviously dominated by monsters.
When Chen Mu passed by a village before, he saw villagers offering blood food to a monster.
So he killed the monster casually.
But the villagers were not happy, but instead wailed and cried.
After asking, Chen Mu learned that although the monster asked for blood food as an offering, other monsters in the nearby mountains would not dare to attack as long as the monster was around.
And after he killed the monster, he regained peace for a while, but sooner or later he would leave, and after leaving, the monsters in the mountains would enter the village, and then the whole village might become a blood-eater.
This is not recorded in the book.
After experiencing this incident, Chen Mu no longer interfered in Nanli's ecology at will.
Take Li Chenxing to the bonfire.
Chen Mu casually waved his sleeves, causing dust on the ground to rise up and fall into the distance, and then he sat down cross-legged.
Li Chenxing silently knelt down a little behind Chen Mu. During the whole process, he was only respectful to Chen Mu and turned a blind eye to all other external objects.
This certainty made Mr. Tian admire in his heart.
If he could meet such a good seedling, he would accept him as his disciple no matter what.
However, judging from the appearance of Li Chenxing and Chen Mu, I am afraid that they are either Chen Mu's juniors or Chen Mu's disciples, so I can only take a look.
Chen Mu took the wine glass, took a sip, and briefly chatted with Mr. Tian and others.
After answering a few questions from Chen Mu.
Mr. Tian quickly reacted and looked at Chen Mu in surprise.
"Master Chen, isn't he from Nanli?"
Including Lu Shiyun and others were also very surprised.
Outside Nanli is a dynasty called Dayuan. Everyone knows this, but the people of Dayuan have always regarded Nanli as a poor place. Only people from Nanli often go out, and few people from Dayuan come in.
Chen Mu nodded slightly.
Lu Shiyun was surprised and couldn't help but ask: "I heard that there is a demon chaos in Dayuan now?"
Chen Mu said: "Yes, there is chaos everywhere."
Lu Shiyun nodded and said: "Nanli is also in a lot of chaos. I heard that many new demon gods have emerged in the past few months, beating each other's heads to pieces, and many demon gods have fallen."
From Lu Shiyun’s mouth, I learned that the demon chaos in Nanli is completely different from the demon chaos in Dayuan. If the demon chaos in Dayuan is about monsters causing trouble to the human race, then the demon chaos in Nanli is more like a group of demons competing for status.
The battles over territory are mostly dominated by internal fighting among monsters.
Because many towns are already under the rule of monsters.
Naturally, there is no such thing as monsters converging and attacking the town.
"No wonder every generation of demon kings comes from Nanli."
Chen Mu shook his head in his heart.
The so-called Demon King is an existence that is superior to the human-level demons. It rules the world's demons. The demon's power is terrifying and boundless. Only a first-class Martial Saint can rival it.
Since the founding of the Great Yuan Dynasty, a total of eight martial saints have been born, and four demon kings have also been born. Three of these four demon kings appeared during the period of demon chaos on the earth, and only one was not during the period of demon chaos.
also.
These four demon kings all have one thing in common, that is, they all come from Nanli!
After coming to Nanli and seeing the scene here, it was not difficult for Chen Mu to understand. Compared with the outside, this place is almost a place for cultivating Gu.
Now during the period of demon chaos, the number of demons in Nanli has begun to increase dramatically. Transformed demons and even human-level demons will fight and kill each other. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to think of a demon king!
Chen Mu naturally didn't want to see the Demon King born.
Although at his current level, as long as he stays in Kyoto and is in harmony with the terrain of his spiritual veins, he will be able to fight even if the Demon King is born, but all parts of the world will fall.
It's just that the situation in Nanli is indeed complicated. Not only are there many monsters, but there are also many dangerous places and even dangerous places. Even a martial saint here will have a huge headache.
There have been eight martial saints from the Great Yuan Dynasty, and each of them has been to Nanli, but none of them can completely reverse the ecology of Nanli. Even if all the monsters killed hide in dangerous places and dare not take the risk, but after waiting for the past few days,
In ten years, Nanli will slowly return to its previous situation.
but.
Compared with preventing the birth of the Demon King, Chen Mu has higher priorities.
That is the obsession to end the two dead souls as soon as possible.
Although the level of the two dead souls is not high, as long as they both gain some soul points, it may be enough for him to break through to the level of a second-level magician.
