In this current situation, it is somewhat difficult to find the location of the secret realm.
Although the Wushuang Continent is broken, it is still vast. Without a suitable method, trying to find the secret place is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
In the stone chamber, Lu Ye was silent and silent, while Ying Wuji was filled with melancholy.
Xu Wan quietly winked at Zuishan from the side, but Zuishan just shook his head imperceptibly.
Before that, he went to Zuishan and told him everything he knew about Lu Ye and Ying Wuji, especially about Lu Ye's attainments in the formation path.
If such a person could be lured into the stronghold, the security of the stronghold would be greatly guaranteed in the future, so he suggested that Zuishan find a way to win over these two people to see if they could stay.
But after Zuishan learned that Lu Ye and Ying Wuji's goal was actually the secret realm, he stopped thinking about it.
Their ambitions are as high as the sky, and it is understandable that they want to join the secret realm, but how can they despise their small stronghold? Even if they ask for it, they will definitely not get what they want.
Simply stop asking for trouble.
"Is there a map of this world?" Lu Ye suddenly asked again.
Zuishan shook his head: "After thousands of years, the realm has been broken, and the inheritance of many sects has been cut off. Most of the remaining human races are living in hiding, and many people have never left the stronghold from birth to death, even us and others
The scope of activities of monks is also limited. If you want a topographic map within a radius of ten thousand miles, I have it here, but if you talk about a good map of this world, I am afraid it can only be found in the secret realm."
This is really nothing.
Lu Ye nodded slightly, having some guesses in his mind and not disappointed.
"In that case, the two of you should rest first. If you need anything, feel free to come find me."
There was no way to win over these two people, and there was no need to continue to inquire about their origins. Zuishan had no intention of staying any longer.
In his opinion, these two people were probably just passers-by. They had the kindness to save Yuan Xiang's life first, so they could just be treated well here at the stronghold. Maybe they would leave at some time.
When Zuishan stood up, a buzzing sound suddenly came from above, and even the stone room shook slightly.
It seems like someone is fighting above.
His color changed suddenly, and Xu Wang also exclaimed: "No, the formation has been activated!"
Under normal circumstances, the large formation he arranged outside would not be activated, even if it was in an activated state like before, it would not be activated easily.
In this world, it is not easy to set up formations. Unless absolutely necessary, formations are only used for deterrence.
And once it is activated, it will inevitably cause a lot of noise, and the location of the stronghold may be exposed.
But now that the formation has been launched, there is no doubt that the people guarding the formation have encountered an extremely bad situation.
The two of them looked at Lu Ye and Ying Wuji almost at the same time, with expressions of shock and anger.
From their point of view, the stronghold has been peaceful for more than ten years, but these two people have just arrived, and the formation has been launched. Naturally, it makes people think that they are spies of a certain force, and what is going on?
The enemy was drawn over.
Ying Wuji noticed something and quickly said: "It has nothing to do with us!"
Zuishan pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Someone has lost his composure, don't blame me two."
No matter whether the matter is related to these two people or not, no conflict can break out in the stronghold. There are still many mortals living here. Once a fight breaks out, those mortals will not be able to withstand the aftermath of the monks' fight.
The movement outside alarmed everyone in the stronghold.
Many monks walked out of the stone chambers one by one and gathered together. The atmosphere was solemn and tense, but no one flinched.
Those mortals also quickly gathered in another place. Although their expressions were frightened, no one shouted.
It can be seen that in troubled times, these people have summed up some ways to survive. At the very least, they should not panic when encountering anything.
"Mr. Xu, stay here and take charge. I'll take people out to take a look." Zuishan said a word and walked out of the stone room. However, before he could count all the people, a young man with a sword who was covered in blood rushed into the stronghold.
Among them was Wu Jun, whom Yuan Xiang called Big Brother Wu.
At this moment, he was missing an arm. The broken arm was bleeding profusely, and there was blood on his face. Seeing the drunken mountain, he hurriedly said: "Chief, this is the Pure Land!"
"Are you sure it's them?" Zuishan's eyes narrowed.
The group of monks standing behind Zuishan suddenly became frightened.
The Pure Land is not a sect. In today's world, except for the complete inheritance of many sects in the three major secret realms, the human race has no sects anymore, and they basically exist in the form of large and small strongholds.
Pure Land is the name of a large stronghold of the human race.
Although his name sounds righteous, he is actually notorious.
Because they often rob those human strongholds that are not as powerful as them, and even steal people from them to strengthen themselves.
Today, there is a saying circulating in various strongholds of the human race, it is better to encounter the zombie clan than to encounter the pure land.
The zombie clan is at least an enemy on the surface, and if they can't be defeated, they will just die.
But the people in the Pure Land are all a bunch of lunatics. Once they fall into the hands of the Pure Land, they will never know that they will suffer such torture.
Moreover, they are all human beings. If they are slightly disguised, basically no one can see through their identities.
Another point is that the monks in the Pure Land generally have very high cultivation. They seem to have practiced an evil method and can strengthen themselves by absorbing the spiritual power of others. Therefore, the people of the Pure Land are very good at capturing other strongholds of the human race.
Enthusiastic.
Through this method, they can plunder the supplies they need and capture the human monks in the stronghold to practice cultivation.
Originally, Zuishan wanted to take someone out to see the situation, but when he heard that the person coming was from the Pure Land, he immediately gave up his thoughts.
With such a stronghold, it is impossible for him to be his opponent.
Nowadays, the human race's hatred towards the Corpse Clan is naturally endless, but their hatred for forces like Pure Land is especially high above the Corpse Clan.
No matter where and at any time, those who continue to fight against each other when the existence of a race is intermittent will naturally not be welcomed by others.
"How did they come to our door?" Zuishan was puzzled.
Wu Jun looked gloomy: "I saw Xiao Wu among the people in the Pure Land..."
Zuishan suddenly realized.
Xiao Wu is also a person in the stronghold. He went out with others to search for supplies, but he has been missing for a month. No one is alive or dead.
This is normal in today's world. Everyone thought they had encountered a zombie clan, and all they could do was remember them in their hearts.
But now it seems that what Xiao Wu and the others encountered was not the Corpse Clan, but people from the Pure Land.
There must have been some brutal torture and torture during this period, and it was inevitable that the location of the stronghold would be exposed.
Zuishan immediately understood that what happened today had nothing to do with the two guests, it was just a coincidence.
"Mr. Xu, count the number of people and lead them to evacuate from the secret passage."
Zuishan gives orders.
Xu Wang did not hesitate, nodded and said: "Okay!"
Zuishan ordered a few more monks to come out: "You guys, follow me and stop them!"
There are many mortals in the stronghold. Even if there is a secret passage to evacuate, the speed will not be too slow. Someone must stay to break the rear. Even if the cave is supplemented by the formations that Xu Wang has deployed before, leaving the rear behind will be extremely dangerous.
.
But even with a clear understanding, the few people named stood up without hesitation.
In the stone chamber, Lu Ye and Ying Wuji watched quietly.
Ying Wuji couldn't help but sigh: "The people in this stronghold are still very united."
It should be that Zuishan is a good leader on weekdays, so he can give orders and prohibitions at this critical moment.
"You also stay." Lu Ye ordered lightly and stepped towards the layman.
"Ah?" Ying Wuji was stunned for a moment. After he realized what he was doing, he couldn't help but get angry and muttered: "I have to do all the dirty and tiring work. Do you really think of yourself as your senior brother?"
When they encountered the ruined city before, Lu Yiye had asked him to go and get information. Now he has to do everything by himself. It’s really unreasonable!
Lu Yiye is really a bully. When he is needed, he gives orders at will. When he is no longer needed, he doesn't even want to say anything to him. He only stares at himself, making him inexplicably stressed.
Although he felt unhappy, Ying Wuji didn't want to just let it go.
It can be seen from the reactions of Zuishan and others that people in the so-called Pure Land are not that easy to deal with. As a ghost cultivator, it is indeed suitable for him to stay as a posthumous disciple.
The figure quickly faded and then disappeared.
On the other side, Lu Ye had already arrived in front of Xu Wang, who was directing everyone to evacuate from the secret passage, and said straight to the point: "If you trust me, I can open the way ahead."
Xu Wang looked at him intently for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, little friend!"
Lu Ye nodded slightly, stepped forward, and walked into the secret passage.
Xu Wan winked, as if there were several monks with higher cultivation levels following Lu Ye, their spiritual power was ready to unleash the strongest attack at any time.
Regardless of whether Lu Ye has anything to do with the people in the Pure Land or not, he wants to open the way ahead, so just let him open the way. However, Xu Wang also has arrangements here to avoid being plotted by others.
In the apocalypse, people's hearts are unpredictable, and even a little girl like Yuan Xiang will not truly trust others easily, let alone an old and cunning person like Xu Wang.
There must be a secret passage in the stronghold, and there is more than one, leading to different directions and locations. This way, you can ensure that you have a way out at any time.
If there is no way out, once someone gains a stronghold, won't they have to fight to the end?
It's okay to win the fight, but if you can't win, you'll really have to die.
This is also the way to survive.
The secret passage is not very spacious and can only accommodate three people walking side by side at most. There are many twists and turns along the way.
With Xu Wang guiding him from behind, Lu Ye just had to keep his head down and move forward. He didn't walk very fast, and he mainly wanted to take care of the many mortals behind him.
Even so, those mortals have to run to keep up, and children and the elderly need the spiritual help of monks, otherwise they will definitely fall behind.
At the same time, in the stronghold cave, Zuishan and others were waiting intently.
Along with a long laugh, a figure stepped in. The aura on his body was evil and wild, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
Zuishan's heart sank as soon as he saw this person.
