The room in the inn is quite large, and the decoration inside is extremely simple. There is a bed, a table, a stool, and a half-lit oil lamp on the table. Other than that, there is nothing else.
The window opposite the door was wide open, and a bit of cool breeze blew in from the window, giving people a bit of chill.
Zhuo Wen opened the doors of other rooms in turn, and after finding nothing unusual, he said to Xu Ronghua downstairs: "Miss Xu, come up and pick a room."
Xu Ronghua nodded lightly and chose the room next to Zhuo Wen.
"I will set up a defensive array in your room first, just in case."
After Xu Ronghua selected the room, Zhuo Wen took out a few Yuan Crystals from the spiritual ring and arranged them in the room in a strange trajectory. An invisible wave rose on the surface of the room.
"Thank you!" Xu Ronghua said with a sweet smile.
"It's okay. I always think these five small towns on the border are weird. It's always better to be prepared. Go to bed early at night and see if others are back tomorrow." Zhuo Wen said with a faint smile.
Xu Ronghua nodded and closed the door, while Zhuo Wen looked around the dark environment in the inn, frowning slightly.
He always felt that since entering Sanyuan City, he had a feeling of being spied on. This feeling was very inexplicable.
"Is it my imagination?"
Zhuo Wen shook his head and entered his room. After arranging the same defensive array inside, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate.
"Xiao Hei, the ice and fire energy that was fused from the Ice Flame Holy Talisman was different at each stage. For example, the combination of human-level cold air and flames resulted in a spherical ice-fire explosion."
"The combination of earth-level cold air and flames creates a lotus-shaped ice and fire lotus, so will the combination of heaven-level cold air and flames be different?"
After sitting cross-legged on the bed, Zhuo Wen communicated with Xiao Hei and asked.
"It should be different, but what kind of form it will take, I'm afraid you will only know after you combine the dark cold poison and the Jiuyan Karmic Fire."
Xiaohei replied lightly, fell into silence, and then continued: "Boy, this Sanyuan City feels very strange to me. I always feel that something strange will happen in it. Be careful and beware.
Stay focused."
Hearing this, Zhuo Wen felt a chill in his heart, and immediately nodded seriously. Since even Xiao Hei said this, I'm afraid Sanyuan City is definitely not a kind place.
Speaking of which, Zhuo Wen should have returned to the inner courtyard immediately after discovering something was wrong. However, the more than 20 core disciples of Tiandu Peak disappeared without any reason. It would be difficult for him to explain to the old man Tiandu when he returned.
"If we can't find them tomorrow, we have no choice but to report back to the inner courtyard. Staying here forever is not an option."
Zhuo Wen's eyes flickered. As soon as he finished speaking, he found that his eyelids were a little heavy, and a strong sense of sleepiness arose in his heart.
"Why are you so sleepy? Is it because you were too tired during the day? No..."
When Zhuo Wen's eyelids drooped and he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly opened his eyes with an extremely cautious expression.
At his level of cultivation, it is easy to keep a clear mind, and even if he does not eat or drink for several years, nothing will happen. But now, he feels tired after just running around for a day. This is definitely not normal.
"Zhuowen, you're awake!"
A crisp voice suddenly came, and Zhuo Wen immediately followed the sound and happened to see Xu Ronghua leaning on the door of the room, looking at him with a smile.
"Miss Xu, why did you come into my room? Didn't you just enter the next room to rest?" Zhuo Wen frowned slightly and asked in surprise.
Xu Ronghua chuckled lightly and said: "Zhuowen, it's early morning now. You overslept yourself. I came here specifically to wake you up in the morning."
"It's early in the morning?"
Zhuo Wen was startled, and then he noticed that the window on the right happened to shed a ray of warm sunlight, which was golden and golden, and looked quite dazzling.
However, Zhuo Wen soon frowned. He obviously just squinted his eyes. Did he already fall asleep when he squinted? And he was still drowsy. In the end, it was Xu Ronghua who woke up.
"You come with me first. The others have come back and are waiting downstairs now. Moreover, they have brought good news."
Xu Ronghua smiled sweetly, then walked out of Zhuo Wen's room and walked downstairs.
With doubts, Zhuo Wen followed Xu Ronghua and walked downstairs step by step. Soon he saw more than 20 people gathered outside the inn, exactly the same 20 people who disappeared in Sanyuan City before.
A core disciple of Tiandu Peak.
"Senior Sister Xu, Senior Brother Zhuo!"
A young man in dark green attire with a peaceful expression immediately came to the two of them with a rather respectful attitude.
"Qin Ze, tell me, where did you go yesterday? Why did you only come back this morning?" Xu Ronghua said reproachfully.
Qin Ze looked apologetic and said, "Senior Sister Xu, I'm really sorry. I made my own decision in the beginning."
As he spoke, Qin Ze recounted what happened yesterday in detail.
It turned out that after Zhuo Wen and Xu Ronghua went to Yanyue City, a group of more than 20 people got bored and wandered around Sanyuan City. When they walked to the southeast corner of Sanyuan City, there was an alley.
Originally, the alley was normal, but Qin Ze's eyes were quite sharp, and he actually saw a naked arm in a garbage dump in the alley.
Then a group of people entered the alley, rummaged through the garbage, and immediately pulled out the owner of the arm.
He was an extremely thin boy. When the boy saw Qin Ze and others, he screamed like a frightened mouse and looked at him with fear.
Later, they tried to calm down the boy's emotions, and finally made the boy let down his guard against them, and the boy was one of the aborigines of Sanyuan City.
When Qin Ze asked the boy what happened in Sanyuan City, the boy finally endured the fear in his heart and told everything that happened in Sanyuan City.
"What's going on in Sanyuan City?" Zhuo Wen suddenly became interested and asked.
Qin Ze looked solemnly and said: "According to what the boy said, the reason why Sanyuan City turned into a dead city is because of a terrifying evil cultivator. If the evil cultivator wants to increase his power, he needs to take life.
Only when people come to offer sacrifices can they obtain the corresponding power."
"And it is said that the evil cultivator is good at using poison. Before entering Sanyuan City, he quietly released a drug that stunned all the humans in Sanyuan City."
"Even those high-ranking Imperial Realm warriors in the city did not faint directly under such intoxication, but they lost the power to resist and were all arrested by the evil cultivator."
Zhuo Wen frowned slightly and said, "Then everyone in the city was sacrificed by the evil cultivator?"
"That's true. This is why Sanyuan City has become a dead city." Qin Ze said seriously.
"Is there such a strong drug in the world that can make the Imperial Realm warriors unable to resist?" Zhuo Wen frowned slightly and said strangely.
Xu Ronghua smiled and said: "After all, he is an evil cultivator, so his methods are naturally different from those of ordinary warriors. Especially for such an evil cultivator who is good at using medicine, the poisons on his body can be said to be all kinds of strange."
"So, does that little boy know the whereabouts of the evil cultivator?" Zhuo Wen asked.
Qin Ze shook his head and said: "The little boy doesn't know, but there are tracer bees on us, and the little boy's blood still has the smell of the drug. I have recorded the smell with the tracer bees.
, Yesterday we followed the tracer bees to where the evil cultivator was, so we left Sanyuan City and came back this morning."
"Have you found the place where the evil cultivator is? And have you had any conflict with that evil cultivator?" Xu Ronghua asked with some urgency.
Qin Ze shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "We don't dare to face that evil cultivator. After all, that evil cultivator slaughtered the entire city. There are also middle-level emperor-level warriors in Sanyuan City who can massacre three people."
Yuancheng, even those of us who go up there can’t see enough.”
"You did the right thing. Fortunately, you didn't act rashly, otherwise you might not be able to come back."
Xu Ronghua nodded lightly, and immediately his beautiful eyes fell on Zhuo Wen and said: "Zhuo Wen, why don't we follow Qin Ze to the place where the evil cultivator is and wait for the opportunity? I want to add you and me and there are more than 20 people."
At the mid-level emperor level, it is still possible to capture the evil cultivator by surprise."
Hearing this, Zhuo Wen frowned slightly. He always felt that something was wrong, but what Xu Ronghua said was right. Now that the location of the evil cultivator has been found, they really cannot let it go.
After all, this evil cultivator will leave this place after digesting the countless sacrifices of warriors in Sanyuan City. If he looks for it again then, he will probably be looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Let's go and take a look first."
Zhuo Wen nodded in agreement, and immediately the group walked out of Sanyuan City.
The location of the evil cultivator that Qin Ze mentioned was quite far away from Sanyuan City. In order not to alert others, the group did not dare to fly in the sky, so it took a lot of time.
About three hours later, Qin Ze and others stopped in front of a mountain range. He whispered: "On the back of this mountain range, there is a rather inconspicuous cave. The tracer bee was wandering in that cave at that time.
mouth, so I guess that the cave is where the evil cultivator is."
"Since the evil cultivator is good at using poison, he must have set up such traps in the cave. Each of you should take this detoxification crystal. This crystal has a certain resistance to poison. If you carry it with you, you will be immune to all poisons.
"
Zhuo Wen took out more than 20 transparent crystals from the spiritual ring and handed them to Xu Ronghua, Qin Ze and more than 20 people. Then at his instruction, he quietly touched the back of the mountain and found a
cave.
The cave is located halfway up the mountain, a sunken part. If you don't look carefully, it is difficult to detect the cave.
