Chapter 686: The Remaining Map of the Wilderness, Ancient Ruins
"Mr. Fifteen, please."
Youye led the way with her hands, signaling Gu Yusheng to go to the largest city lord's mansion in Tianyao City.
"please."
Gu Yusheng walked side by side with You Ye. At this time, although he noticed dozens of obscure auras probing him, he didn't care. In contrast, he was even more shocked by what he saw in front of him.
Back then, when he was in Lucheng Wangxianju, he heard the shopkeeper Jin Abacus say that his business was all over the world, and he even opened a restaurant in the wilderness. He didn't believe it at the time, but now, in the world where there are many demon clans in the wilderness, the city is full of people.
, the thousands of human races living in it are actually not much different from the mortals in the human race territory.
If there is a difference, perhaps it is that the mortals here cannot leave the city, but most of the people living here have fields and land, and live a rural life surrounded by green trees.
What he saw before him almost overturned all of Gu Yusheng's cognition and outlook.
Of course, the changes in the wild world have naturally affected the prosperity of Tianyao City. In the seemingly prosperous downtown, there are crises of competing for interests lurking everywhere.
But, is a place like this where humans live really considered a place ruled by demons?
"Come here, serve tea."
After entering the house and taking a seat, Youye spoke.
Immediately, a beautiful demon girl came to pour tea and brought many fruit plates.
Gu Yusheng looked at the rough style of the Lord's Mansion of Demon Holy City, slowly drank tea, and was making ventriloquism.
"A few years ago, Mo Daru from the Holy Academy came to Tianyao City as a guest. I wonder if he mentioned the situation in Demon City to Mr. Fifteen after he returned?"
You Ye broke the silence first.
Gu Yusheng put down the tea cup and shook his head slightly: "I heard that the demon clan has three main cities. Are the other two cities like this?"
"Yes, but Tianyao City is much smaller than Ten Thousand Demons City and Dahuang City."
You Ye raised his hand and took out a strange pearl from the top of the hall of the City Lord's Mansion. After injecting spiritual power into the pearl, the scale of Ten Thousand Demon City and Dahuang City could be vaguely seen. Compared with Tianyao City, they were indeed several times larger.
, or even dozens of times.
Youye had been observing Gu Yusheng's expression, took the pearl, and praised: "Mr. Fifteen is so young at a young age, but his temper is already so calm. To tell you the truth, within a thousand years, both the Great Wilderness Sage and the Demon Saint have invited the human race
Practitioners came to the Demon City as guests, and when they saw the real situation in the Great Wilderness Demon City, many of them went crazy on the spot, thinking it was a dream and could not wake up from the dream because they could not accept such a result."
Of course Gu Yusheng could imagine what You Ye said just now, and he could also guess why a great scholar like Mo Fanchen didn't tell the truth after he came out of the wilderness. The human race and the monster race were in the same position, which itself involves the issue of stance. If you are not careful, you will
Considered a traitor to the human race.
If everyone is drunk and only one is sober, then the sober person is guilty.
Neither the Haoqi Alliance nor the Demon Slayer Alliance allow another real voice to exist.
However, Gu Yusheng was not willing to speculate with the greatest malice. After all, for thousands of years, there has been no shortage of wise and sage people in the world.
"Fellow Daoist You, there are so many human races living here. If they don't leave the wilderness, there must be some kind of taboo, right?"
"Monsters and beasts are rampant in the wilderness, and it is almost difficult for mortals to get out. This is one. The second is that the ancestors of the mortals here lived in the wilderness. For them, the sixteen states of your human race are a foreign land.
Can Mr. Fifteen understand what I say?"
You Ye raised her fingers, and four demon women immediately unfolded a huge demon skin. This demon skin was already old, but it had a map of the wilderness drawn on it. Although it was incomplete, the map involved many places.
It was something Gu Yusheng had never seen before.
Obviously, this map, the Holy Courtyard, the Three Holy Lands, and the countries of the sixteen states were not recorded.
"This is the oldest map collected in Tianyao City. Unfortunately, it is incomplete."
You Ye deliberately gave Gu Yusheng time to memorize the map, and continued to explain the doubts Gu Yusheng had just raised:
"Actually, there are many human cultivators among the mortals in the wilderness. However, those with outstanding talents will be picked up by the envoys of the three holy places. Mr. Fifteen once came from Qingyun Sect, so he should naturally know about Qingyun Sect.
In fact, many of the techniques are similar to those of the demon clan. Given the transcendent status of the three holy places, Mr. Fifteen must be able to understand why they do not reveal their secrets to the world."
"I see."
Gu Yusheng withdrew his eyes from the map. You Ye's words solved the doubts in his mind for many years. However, he had never heard anyone mention the matter of the three holy places selecting talented practitioners from the Great Wild Demon City. He thought there was something behind this.
Other secrets are not as simple as they appear.
As one of the top ten demon saints of the demon clan, You Ye once showed his ambition in the Holy Court. It is impossible that he completely changed his temperament and became a good person after being sealed in the copper coin barrier by Mr. Jiu.
As the level of cultivation increases, Gu Yusheng's vision and experience will also change. Whether it is a human race or a demon race, the higher the level of cultivation, the more cruel the training resources needed and the more cruel competition he faces.
Fighting is the worst method.
Moreover, when he entered the city just now, he had already seen many human cultivators in the city. The spiritual power in their bodies was mixed with demon power, and there were demon moon pools in many places in the city. It was not difficult to guess that if the human race wanted to practice, they must accept the demon power.
Special ethnic rituals and baptisms.
People who practice the demon clan's skills will change their thoughts regardless of their mentality or environment.
This has nothing to do with right or wrong.
It's just a general trend.
The cage in the world is always like this. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean the cage doesn't exist.
Therefore, Gu Yusheng had a premonition that You Ye must have something to ask for when he invited him to the city. However, the current crisis in the wilderness did not cause much turmoil in his heart. Everyone in the world has his own suffering.
Just like there were countless mortals in Qingping Prefecture who were wreaked havoc by the monsters in the mountains.
True cruelty is everywhere.
Saving people easily is a good result and a spiritual practice.
Saving the common people like a saint, Gu Yusheng asked himself that he couldn't do it.
Youye saw that Gu Yusheng was not as righteous and awe-inspiring as the human cultivators in the past when facing the mortals in the city. He was silent for a moment, cupped his fists and said:
"To be honest, Mr. Fifteen, the human cultivators in the three major demon cities must pay a certain price if they want to survive in the city and be protected by our demon clan. To a certain extent, we have indeed enslaved them, but
You have also seen that the wilderness is now desolate, and disaster has come. In a few decades, the humans and monsters in the city will face the end of destruction. There will no longer be clean food, pure water, or barriers in the world.
The countryside and fields within it can no longer grow food.”
Gu Yusheng calmly said: "Fellow Daoist You Ye, if you have anything to say, you may as well say it directly. Although Gu doesn't care about the blood of the human race and the demon race, it does not mean that I will become a peacemaker, let alone represent the human race. I am very curious.
What happened in the wilderness that caused countless demonic beasts to go berserk and form a beast tide."
You Ye stood with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth several times, thinking over and over again on his face. After a while, he solemnly said: "Fellow Daoist Gu, during the demon tribe's pilgrimage ceremony last year, Lord Fulong got a liter of gold from somewhere.
The Immortal Order forcibly upgraded the cultivation level to break through the void, but the promotion failed in the end, breaking the sky, causing unstable space nodes to appear in the wilderness, and the ancient demon clan came through the boundary, not only polluting the water source, but also enslaving the demon clan, and so on.
, the wilderness will no longer be suitable for the demon clan to live, and the sixteen states in the world will once again become the new habitat of the demon clan."
When Gu Yusheng heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.
You Ye immediately noticed an obscure sword intent, waved his hand and said: "Although the land of Sixteen States is large, once all the demon clan of the Great Wilderness and the human races of the three major demon cities pour in, it will also be a great change for the demon clan.
It’s a big disaster, so the fact that the demon clan has not invaded human territory in the past two years is a kind of goodwill in itself. Everything must be solved from the source.”
"source?"
"Yes, after a year of investigation by the elders of the demon clan, it was discovered that the culprit that affected the demon clan's water source and polluted the demon clan's bloodline came from an ancient ruins deep in the Damian Mountain deep in the wilderness!"
