Qu Jianlei didn't pay too much attention to the cultivators beside the stone pillar formation. He released a flying boat and flew away with Jia Shuiqing.
It's just that the journey home was not very smooth, and the flying boat was stopped before it flew very far.
The auras of him and Jia Shuiqing have been recorded, and it is known that they are cultivators who volunteered to join the team.
But some people still asked them to walk into the detection array to check whether there was any remaining demonic energy, and there were also hand-held detection magic weapons.
Qu Jianlei was willing to cooperate at first. After all, he also wanted to know whether he had been infiltrated by the demon.
However, during the third test, someone asked him to take out his belongings, and he immediately turned against him.
"I'm surprised. The cultivators who have been guarding the border for a long time were insulted like this by the guys from behind. Who gave you the courage? "Master Quling, listen to me," a true immortal hurried over and spoke with a smile.
"This is what the alliance means. The devil is really hard to guard against!"
"Immortal Yuchen, you are a casual cultivator," Qu Jianlei said expressionlessly, "Is it appropriate to just let others have their property?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare," Immortal Yuchen waved her hands quickly, looked around, and then said, "Someone is coming from Zhongzhou."
"Then don't catch me and bully me," Qu Jianlei said with a dark face, "I don't like to cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of it either. Do you understand?"
"I understand, how can I not understand?" Immortal Yuchen replied with a smile, "Anyway, it's good for you to be strong once in a while."
"It's really baffling," Qu Jianlei shook his head, got on the flying boat again, and flew away.
Watching the flying boat move away in an instant, Immortal Yuchen was stunned for a while, then shook his head and said softly.
After this incident, everything went much smoother.
Although some people stopped Feizhou for inspection, Qu Jianlei showed up directly and said, "Get out of here, Hongye Ridge, let's go home!"
Then they spent a day and arrived at Hongye Ridge very smoothly.
This place is still quite peaceful, with no patrolling cultivators to be seen, and Sujia Village has expanded a bit.
Hua Xiezi and Xiangxue were on duty at the front mountain. After seeing Feizhou, they quickly exclaimed, "The boss is back!"
The figure flashed, but the paranoid appeared, "You came back just in time, that's why you asked me whether you wanted to do a divination -"
Tianyin wants to reach the next level."
"Tianyin——" Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, she will be in retreat while I rest for two days?"
Everyone said before that Bentley would be the next one to reach the next level, but that was the golden elixir impacting the Nascent Soul.
Moreover, the boss may not always be the first. Mu Yu is not far away from reaching the next level, and the two of them still don’t know who will be first and who will be last.
But the one who is really closest to advancing to the next level should be Tianyin, she is the golden elixir of impact.
Then another figure flashed, and a beauty in palace clothes appeared. She smiled lightly and said, "I heard that I encountered a demon, is it okay?"
He was a little unaccustomed to being dressed up in such a dress. Qu Jianlei nodded and sighed, "The Cangwu Realm is not going to be peaceful from now on."
"Tell me about it," Taoist Jiao also appeared, still looking like a little snake, "What are the characteristics of these demons?"
In the six months since Qu Jianlei and the others had formed a defensive formation, the story of the exploration team's encounter with the demon had already spread widely.
Unlike the empire, federation and other countries that hide it, Dongsheng does not block this kind of information.
After they confirmed the news of encountering the demon, they began to publicize it widely, and the war machine also began to activate.
Anyway, after the tiger-man battle, the cultivators in Dongsheng also understood one thing: it is impossible to run away when encountering such a disaster.
Zhongzhou and other places extremely reject cultivators who run away without resistance, and many incidents have occurred.
However, Zhongzhou is not ruthless. They will organize cultivators to come together to resist the aliens, and their enthusiasm is quite high.
In the final analysis, it’s just a matter of lips and teeth. Who can’t understand this?
Through past experiences, the practitioners of Dongsheng know very well that they cannot retreat at this time and can only resist forcefully.
At the same time, it is worth mentioning that compared to the fierce military forces elsewhere, the place in Hongye Ridge was calm and no one came to visit at all.
Later, Li Yuren came to visit and not only told about the battle with the demon, but also why no one came to bother him.
Qu Jianlei and Jia Shuiqing not only joined the exploration team, but also took the initiative to guard the perimeter of the formation. This is known to all cultivators.
Under such circumstances, whoever dares to point fingers at Hongye Ridge is at least morally untenable.
Moreover, no matter the Li family, the Ji family or the He family, they all accepted the favor of Lord Quling and would not let outsiders mess with them.
Not to mention that Hongye Ridge itself is not easy to mess with. Even though two true immortals have left, there are still at least three in the family.
But at the same time, there are currently a lot of people visiting Hongye Ridge, most of them are small and medium-sized forces, but there are also big forces.
But since Qu Jianlei and Jia Shuiqing went on the expedition, Hongye Ridge has basically fallen into a semi-closed state.
In more than half a year, only two real immortals, Li Yuren and Zhu Jiayi, visited and were welcomed in.
Even the matter of acquiring secret books has basically come to a semi-standstill.
Wu Laoliu only goes down the mountain every ten days and a half, mainly to Sujia Village.
Occasionally he would go to Yanjiafang City, but once he got there, he would be sought after by a large number of people.
Now the top cultivators in Dongsheng already know that he is the Wu Minxi of the past.
However, although the reward from Bai Yao Valley has not been withdrawn yet, well-informed people already know that he has been cleared.
The most critical factor is that everyone knows that Hongye Ridge is closed, but there are so many people who want to contact them now.
This makes it necessary to mention their battle in the void.
Although the true immortals of the two teams are basically the same group, the cultivators under them come from all over.
The battle between Hongye Ridge and the Demon was rumored to be magical.
Everyone knows that they are the nemesis of the demon - in that battle, Hongye Ling's team did not suffer any losses.
At the same time, the demon's invasion of Dongsheng and even Cangwu Realm is imminent.
In this case, who would be so stupid as not to want to befriend them?
Once the battle starts in Dongsheng, there is no possibility for everyone to escape to Zhongzhou, so where should they hide?
It is the basic choice to stick to the mountain gate. No one will give up his family's foundation easily, but - what if he is invincible?
Most of the small and medium-sized forces have set their sights on Hongye Ridge, which is the only known force that can effectively deal with the demon.
Of course, some people think that Hongye Ridge was able to win because the number of demons encountered was not too large.
When the devil's troops come to attack the territory, what use will Hongyeling's manpower be able to do?
During the battle with the Khajiit in the past, Dong Sheng was not without ruthlessness, and he even managed to withstand the out-of-body master of the Khajiit clan.
But there are too many Nascent Souls among the tiger people. If they swarm them, no matter how fierce they are, they will have to kneel down. No matter what, Hongye Ridge is one of the hopes for everyone to resist the devil, and small and medium-sized forces want to get involved.
Even among the twelve major forces, there are many people who want to build relationships.
It's just that the big forces have more considerations and feel that things are not yet unavoidable, so they are somewhat reserved.
But even so, the Zhu family and Cuipingshan also came to visit, and they were both ranked among the twelfth largest forces.
What Wu Laoliu was asked about the most was the huge tree and the broken knife.
But he really looked confused, because he had never even heard of it, let alone seen it.
So he could only say that I was just a slave, I really didn't know, and I didn't dare to ask.
Before, he was a little shy to admit that he was banned, but now it seems that it is not a bad thing.
After being besieged twice in Fangshi, Wu Laoliu no longer went to Fangshi, but to Sujia Village.
Whether or not more secret books can be acquired is not very important - it is said that there are not many spiritual stones on the mountain.
It is also because of this rumor that more and more people come to Sujiacun.
Needless to say, let's get familiar with each other first so that we can have further communication in the future, right?
What can be used as evidence is that the day after Qu Jianlei returned, Yan Xuemin accompanied the family's Taishang Yan Jin to go to Shanghai.
Although Yan Jinhai is a fake baby, due to his health, he has rarely come to Hongye Ridge in person before.
But this time, it would be impossible if he didn't come. Lord Quling did such a big thing in the void, and Yan Xuemin's golden elixir was really not qualified.
What Yan Jinhai wants to talk about here is to expand the territory of Hongye Ridge.
The land that Qu Jianlei and others bought at that time was only a little over one hundred square kilometers.
Within fifty or sixty kilometers around Hongye Ridge, except for Sujia Village, there are almost no fixed homes.
There are some scattered families living there, but they are all illegal and the property is not protected.
Yan Jinhai hopes that Hongye Ridge will expand at least 20 kilometers to the surrounding area, and the area will exceed thousands of square kilometers.
As for the price, it's easy to negotiate. The Queen of the Yan family said that a hundred spiritual stones would be enough. If that's not possible, just one piece would be fine.
Expanding Hongye Ridge was not his idea, but the suggestion made by the cultivator alliance.
As long as Hongye Ridge is willing, the alliance can issue a permanent certificate confirming that the land belongs to them forever.
The relevant fees are just a nominal fee. The key is that the cultivators' alliance hopes to turn this place into a refuge.
Once the demon invades, all the cultivators and mortals in Dongsheng will face the problem of where to go.
The Alliance of Cultivators believes that the strength of Hongye Ridge can at least withstand a fairly strong demon attack.
Although this force has not been operating here for a long time, it also has methods similar to the demon-suppressing formation, which is no worse than the Twelve Mountain Gates.
This is not the alliance's wishful thinking, nor is there any intention of moral kidnapping, it is just that they simply think they are strong enough!
Apart from anything else, it is impossible for such a force to give up Shanmen easily, right?
Even if we don’t talk about the hard work of construction, the fourth-level spiritual vein itself is rare.
Since Hongye Ridge will not give up resistance, and by the way, it shelters the people who come to seek refuge, there is no conflict between the two.
Hongye Ridge has no natural obligation to protect refugees, but no matter what, they are all Dongsheng natives.
This was the case in the last battle with the Tiger Men. People who were born in Dongsheng were faced with a situation where there was no way to retreat.
