After flying around the Wuduan Mountains, they quickly discovered another place that was obviously different from the other side.
After a large number of trees were cut down, a mortal city appeared in the open area.
As for how to distinguish between a city of mortals and a city of immortals, that is too obvious.
The height of the city wall, whether there are runes covering the wall, whether there are obvious spiritual energy fluctuations in the city, and the scale and discovery of the building.
Anyway, Jiang Li has never seen a city that cultivates immortality. It only has two-story simple wooden houses, and the city walls are only about one foot high, which is extremely low-end.
In this kind of pure land outside the world, there is actually a mortal city. If it is not a branch of a foreign nation isolated from the world, it can only be moved here by monks, and then multiplied and expanded over time to develop to this day.
As for the purpose, it is naturally their cheap labor force.
It should be said that larger sects can still be self-sufficient with low-level disciples.
A sect like Momen itself does not follow the path of winning by quantity.
The manpower is not very abundant, and the puppet mechanism they need to make requires a large amount of spiritual wood.
But we can't use the few low-level disciples to engage in felling work. That would be too wasteful.
Therefore, they need one or even several mortal gathering places near them to serve them.
Even if a hundred mortals can cut down as fast as one disciple in the Qi refining stage, that's enough.
After locking onto the Wuduan Mountains through some means, the monks of the Iron Wolf Sect were not stupid.
In addition to sending out wolf knight monks to conduct a blanket search little by little.
They also found it right away.
As long as you can find some clues in this mortal city, you can follow the clues and find the location of Qianluo City.
Jiang Li and the senior officials of Chongshan League lowered their flight altitude and landed in front of the city gate.
At this time, three giant wolves with metallic luster suddenly jumped out of the city.
"Who is it? The Iron Wolf Sect is doing something, everyone waiting for you to retreat quickly!"
Jiang Li did not hide his whereabouts and was soon discovered by the people of the Iron Wolf Sect.
On the back of the iron wolf, there are also three monks in the alchemy stage riding respectively. They hold a kind of bone spear magic weapon in their hands. With the giant wolf under them, their strength is quite good.
After all, this kind of sect war often means there are bargains to be found.
As for picking up bargains, a creature called Rogue Cultivator loves it the most.
Many casual cultivators from the Eastern Region heard the news and gathered here.
No one likes such uncontrollable factors. In order to prevent future accidents, the Iron Wolf Sect naturally wants to drive them away.
But it is a pity that the Iron Wolf Sect has not been able to join the Si Shen Temple, and it is not a famous sect.
If you act too arrogantly externally, you may end up messing with someone big before your goal is achieved.
It would be funny to have someone wipe out the sect as soon as you turn around.
Buzz!
A circle of ripples of momentum invisible to the naked eye spread, and the originally noisy wind also became quiet at this moment.
The three iron wolves let out low whimpers, lowered their bodies to the ground, and consciously shrank to both sides of the road.
The three monks on the wolf's back were also trembling all over.
That is definitely a top monk who has surpassed their two major ranks!
They also wanted to cry but had no tears. They guarded the door well, how could they ever encounter such a situation.
After the senior officials of the Chongshan League released their momentum, the three Iron Wolf Sect disciples decisively chose to pretend to be dead.
Their mission is not to create such a formidable enemy for the sect. Reporting the situation to the sect later is what they should do.
Entering this city composed of loggers, every door in the city is closed and under round-the-clock martial law.
But even under this situation, there are still many pedestrians on the street.
The small forces of casual cultivators who came from various places formed a force that the Iron Wolf Sect could not ignore. They could only draw an area and let them move around on their own.
The most dangerous place is the safest. The suggestion of several people from Momen to meet here was indeed a bit beyond his expectation.
Jiang Li made a gesture, and the nine elders dispersed.
The few of them walking together were indeed too conspicuous. In order to prevent some accidents, they kept a little distance from each other and protected them secretly.
"Is that you, little brother?"
After walking alone for a while in this ordinary mortal city that didn't even have a name, a voice suddenly stopped Jiang Li.
This is a tall, dark-skinned, honest-looking middle-aged monk.
"Brother, what a coincidence, isn't it?"
This monk also had a relationship with Jiang Li.
It was the monk who was in Fengyang City at that time who warned him to be careful of Wantumen Wuloulan.
Jiang Li took a closer look and realized that this person was also a golden elixir.
Golden elixir monks in the Immortal Cultivation World in Dazhong Mountain must not only establish a sect and achieve great fame, but they must also be senior elders of various major sects.
But in the Eastern Region, you can actually meet one on the street.
"Jiang Li, don't you know?"
Jiang Li did not hide his name. With his status, this kind of thing cannot be hidden.
"Haha, my name is Zhao Tiangang. Little brother, you are a foundation-building monk. How come you are here? Are you separated from your elders?"
"Come here with me, it won't be good if someone from the Iron Wolf Sect discovers you."
They walked into a street restaurant, where the mortal merchants were greeting customers cautiously.
It seems that he was forced to open the business. He couldn't refute the monk's order at all.
But God knows why so many big shots came to sit in his restaurant today.
"Someone invited me to come here. Where are you, Brother Zhao?"
Jiang Li looked at the structure of this restaurant out of habit. There was no spirit, no traps, and the building materials were just ordinary wood, so there should be no danger.
They found a corner wine table and sat down. Jiang Li didn't touch any of the food in the store, but Zhao Tiangang ordered a pot of mortal wine and drank it.
"There are actually people meeting in such a place of right and wrong. Little brother, you must be from Momen, right?"
Zhao Tiangang deliberately lowered his voice and forced it into a low pitch, as if what they were saying was a bit shameful.
"Hey, little brother, don't be afraid. In fact, I'm here to see Momen too."
"I have received favors from the Mo Sect before. This time I came to the Wuduan Mountains to see if I could be of any help."
The other party smiled, and it didn't look like he was faking it.
"Jiang Li admires Brother Zhao for his high righteousness. These days, there are really not many people who repay kindness."
Jiang Li didn't go out and wandered around, so he sat in the restaurant and started chatting with Zhao Tiangang.
The opponent has been here all year round and has a huge advantage in all aspects of intelligence.
What Jiang Li is concerned about is the current state of Mo Sect, how many top monks are left, how many of the Iron Wolf Sect have come this time, and what famous casual cultivators have appeared.
The other party seemed a little reluctant to reveal information about Mo Sect.
But for casual cultivators, it can be said that there are countless family treasures. Such as Liu Yong, the eight-star hand, Kugou, Yanjishan, Pangu in purple skirt... and so on.
When they came this time, they probably didn't think highly of Momen.
After all, it is a sect that is at the end of its strength, and how can it withstand the bite of the Iron Wolf Sect, which was once a force of the same level.
However, Momen is good at machine training and has a long history. It is said that there are a huge amount of treasures hidden inside Qianluo City. If you can make a fortune from them, it will be a worthwhile trip.
At this moment, Jiang Li suddenly sensed something.
"It seems that the person who is looking for me has already arrived."
On the eaves not far away, at some point, a small sparrow appeared.
Jiang Li hooked his fingers lightly, and the sparrow flapped its wings and flew over, stopped on his hand, and looked around curiously. Its movements were vivid, no different from a real bird.
But if you look closely, you can find that the feathers of this bird are actually blades as thin as cicada wings.
Despite its harmless appearance, this is a wood demon equivalent to a human foundation-building monk.
Of course, this was the puppet wood bird that Jiang Li inspired on the spot.
Then it was sent back to Momen for them to use as a sample to check the quality.
Of course, due to their cautious nature, it was sealed later, so that Jiang Li could not directly find the opponent's headquarters with this thing.
After negotiating the terms of the meeting, the two parties agreed to meet in the lumberjack city.
At that time, as long as they unlock the wood demon's seal, the bird will take them to find Jiang Li automatically.
Now that Muque has arrived, the people from Momen are naturally nearby.
The wooden bird landed on my hand, and soon another group of people came over at the end of the street outside.
There are four people, one man and three women, some old and some young.
They were wearing very ordinary clothes and walked into the restaurant with their hoods on.
After getting closer, you can see that they are an old woman, an old man, and two good-looking women, one big and one small.
The people of Momen use puppets all year round, so when the real person appears at this time, it will not attract anyone's attention.
"My wooden bird is here! Ah, he is brother Jiang Li!"
When the little girl saw the wooden bird sitting on Jiang Li's hand, she immediately screamed excitedly.
This was originally a puppet she made by hand, but now it was turned into a wood demon by Jiang Li and given life. The spirituality of life made this little girl regard it as a pet.
The elder next to her pressed her shoulders in time to tell the little girl to be silent.
Another young woman also stepped forward to salute.
"Leader Jiang, I would like to thank you for coming to support me in person. My little girl Ziyao, this is Mr. Mei and Aunt Mei, and this is Xiaoyu."
"Besides, Brother Tiangang, it turns out you know each other? If we had known this, we would have been too suspicious."
The woman named Ziyao is the talkative among the four of them.
He spoke politely, but after introducing Jiang Li, he suddenly turned around and looked at Zhao Tiangang next to him.
They spoke as if they had known each other for a long time.
Zhao Tiangang was stunned for a long time before he realized what he was doing. Momen said he was going to welcome a distinguished guest today, and Jiang Li also said he would come over to meet him, but he never expected that this distinguished guest would be just a foundation-building monk.
"Ahem, Jiang Li and I just met by chance. I didn't expect Brother Jiang to be the leader of the Chongshan Alliance. I'm disrespectful."
Zhao Tiangang scratched his head and looked at Jiang Li still in disbelief.
People at other tables around also turned their heads and nodded to indicate that the people in the Qing Dynasty group were all from the Mo family.
"It's really fate, but you actually set up a secret stronghold directly in the city, which is quite clever. I can't see any flaws in this restaurant."
Jiang Li glanced at the building again, but still didn't find any clues.
"Hehe...hey, it's just forced by the situation. This is not the place to talk. Let's go and go back to Qianluo City first."
Zhao Tiangang stood up and pushed a stone brick on the wall. The ground below immediately opened to both sides, revealing a huge long corridor below.
“What an exquisite design!”
Jiang Li looked at the passage that appeared and couldn't help but praise it.
"Because the construction of this restaurant is completely based on superb mechanical skills, without using any spiritual energy, so it can still maintain the blind spots of the monk's thinking. It is even more difficult to be discovered."
"So many of you are hiding in this city and you haven't been discovered yet. Is it possible that no mortal in this city has ever seen you?"
Jiang Li was confused. To mortals, monks are like gods. Anyone who takes a look at them will be engraved in their hearts and will never be forgotten.
But they can still walk directly on the street.
"This is the law of our Mohist sect. Mohists are hidden from the world."
"Our habit of appearing as puppets was not developed recently, so the mortals here don't know us."
Is that so?
It is said that Momen has a long history. After being defeated in a large-scale war many years ago, it adopted such a low-key and secluded sect rule.
Now it seems that it is really useful.
They went all the way down, and after going more than a hundred feet underground, which was beyond the reach of ordinary monks, they entered a wide underground passage.
In this passage, Jiang Li was dumbfounded and saw something familiar.
Is there actually a subway in this tunnel?
Two straight and parallel metal tracks extend along the passage to both sides.
That scene, in this world of immortality, was extremely unconventional.
"Let me come, let me come!"
The little girl named Xiaoyu was very excited. She jumped to a mechanical handle on the side, held it with both hands and pushed it hard.
Soon, the rumbling sound of metal and wooden wheels rubbing against each other gradually approached from a distance.
Jiang Li's expression couldn't help but become a little strange.
This is actually a subway!
He originally thought that Mo Sect's underground passages would use earth veins for transportation and movement like other sects.
Unexpectedly, they were proficient in mechanical skills and directly built an entire subway.
There are many benefits to this. Ordinary underground movement methods, such as the Earth Veins Shuttle, can only move along the flow direction of the Earth Veins, and it is difficult to control the speed.
But this carriage, which is like a sedan, has its own mechanism and power. Even if there are no earth veins, it can still move forward.
The carriage stopped in front of him, and a puppet appeared inside to open the door for them.
"Leader Jiang, please."
They are inviting Jiang Li to go to their lair alone.
If Jiang Li had brought those nine elders, Momen might not be so straightforward.
Jiang Li reached out and pressed the token on the leader's order of the Chongshan Alliance, and explained the situation to several elders.
Let them be calm and ready to obey his orders.
Leader Jiang cares about his own life more than anyone else, and he still has some assurance of self-preservation in everything he does.
After entering the wooden carriage, there are several pull rods inside.
After a few operations, the carriage gradually accelerated and sped away in one direction.
At the beginning, when they were within the underground area of the city, they relied solely on the power of machinery to move forward.
But after leaving the city limits, the power of the agency began to combine the power of the earth's veins and the spiritual energy of the formation. The speed gradually climbed, getting faster and faster.
Facts have proved that a wheel rolling may not necessarily be slower than a wheel flying.
Soon they arrived at their destination.
There was the sound of gears turning everywhere, and at the end of the passage, there was a huge mechanical structure.
Jiang Li could feel that they were at the bottom of a huge mountain.
Sure enough, this Qianluo City was built by hollowing out a huge mountain under the earth.
"Here we are."
With the obvious deceleration, the corridor in front of the carriage gradually began to widen and become brighter.
A large number of ever-burning lanterns were hung on both sides of the corridor, providing light to the underground Qianluo City ahead.
Several people got out of the carriage, but what greeted Jiang Li was a gleaming crossbow arrow!?
