1628. Nantianmen

Pushing aside the dying corpses still clustered at the entrance of the hall, Li Mu entered the hall first.

The black tide atmosphere in the hall is very thin.

But there are no treasures or anything special.

only……

bone.

Broken, scattered bones.

But Li Mu fell silent at this moment.

Because these bones looked like the corpses of old, weak, women and children.

They are protected in the middle.

But after all the brave warriors outside died in battle, they still could not escape the fate of being slaughtered.

These broken corpses showed that they were definitely not killed by the black tide during their lifetime.

Instead, he was tortured and killed.

Being torn to pieces and chopped off alive.

Li Mu barely had to close his eyes to imagine what kind of horrific and cruel massacres had taken place here in those distant years. It was as if he could still hear the soldiers dying at the entrance of the hall outside the hall. You can hear the roar and unwillingness of the old and young women and children in the hall, the wailing and struggling, and the crying of the children...

Hua Xiangrong and others couldn't help but be moved by it.

"What kind of enemy is so cruel and vicious?"

Zhan Zu couldn't help but ask.

Li Mu said nothing.

Continue walking deeper into the hall.

Follow the stairs toward the second floor.

The stairs were filled with dead soldiers, almost blocking all the roads.

Arrived at the second floor.

Not surprisingly, it was still a scene of massacre.

The objects slaughtered here are all infants and young children, with slender frames and petite heads.

On the third floor, it's still the same.

The only special thing is that in the third layer of space, there are dozens of adult bodies with their limbs cut off and nailed to the wall with iron spears.

Even after many years, these ten corpses are still quite intact, their muscles are as stiff as rocks, their expressions are angry and ferocious, and the wall behind them has been soaked with their blood, leaving a large area of ​​dark red.

A plaque was broken and shattered at their feet.

Li Mu observed for a moment and probably recognized the words on the plaque.

Three words.

Xianwen Yangzhuan.

say--

Nantianmen.

"The name of this hall is Nantianmen?"

Li Mu was shocked.

This name sounds a bit familiar.

By chance?

still……

Everyone scanned the entire three-story Immortal Palace and found no other abnormalities.

Behind the main hall is a small ruined city.

Or to be more precise, it is a living market that is more appropriate. It covers an area of ​​ten miles, which is very narrow for the head of the Xian family. However, most of the buildings have collapsed, and only the outlines of the former buildings can be seen in the ruins of bricks and tiles... …

In the ruins, there were thousands of corpses, some wearing armor, some whose fairy clothes had rotted away, all of them died in battle, with obvious fatal injuries on their bodies...

Just like in the main hall, not a single enemy corpse was seen.

"Search everywhere to see if there are any other clues. If you can find books, maps or the like are best."

Li Mu said.

The six powerful men quickly searched everywhere in the ruins.

Li Mu carefully observed the ruined town.

Like the main hall, the black tide in this area is relatively weak, similar to that of Zhongsan Santian, and does not affect the line of sight. Even without the protection of the [Immortal Marrow and Divine Jade] torch, there is no danger of life.

It seems that there are still some broken formations in the main hall and the dilapidated buildings in the town, which play a protective and blessing role, preventing the Kuroshio from completely invading. It can be seen that in the past, when the Kuroshio attacked, the soldiers here should have protected it. After a while, he was killed by the enemy.

It can basically be inferred that the mysterious enemy is related to the Kuroshio.

But, what kind of force are the immortal warriors guarding here?

Li Mu rubbed his temples.

Not knowing anything about the last three days was the biggest trouble of this trip.

I don’t know the terrain here, I don’t know the layout here, I don’t know what kind of forces there used to be here, I don’t know what happened here...

Li Mu knew in his heart that Immortal Master Muyun definitely knew something.

This was one of the reasons why he proposed to split up.

But acting separately is acceptable to the three parties, so they didn't get angry.

If the remains of Taoist Master Taishi are completely integrated, maybe some information can be unearthed from his memory?

This thought flashed through Li Mu's mind and was instantly forgotten.

"Sir, I have discovered something..."

In a house with four walls preserved, the Sword King found a broken map.

The material is similar to the broken map of Immortal Master Muyun.

But the content on it is more complete.

"Continuing forward from Nantianmen, about nine thousand miles away, is Tiangeguan. According to the signs in the picture, Nantianmen is just an outpost, and Tiangeguan is the real town in the last three days..."

Reported by Jianwanghui.

Li Mu scanned the map and said, "Okay, let's go to Tiange Pass and have a look."

Nowadays, it seems that we can only search aimlessly.

So far, no further place where the Kuroshio appears has been found.

If you want to extinguish the black tide, you are still confused.

"It would be great if we could find some immortals who were three days old."

Li Mu thought to himself.

"You go down first and wait for me."

He ordered Zhan Zu and others.

The six powerful Heavenly Dao Masters descended from the [Southern Gate] main hall.

Hua Xiangrong glanced at Li Mu and finally left.

Li Mu sacrificed the [Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda], directly summoned the Eighteen Heavenly Gangs and Thirty-six Earthly Demons, and ordered them to search all directions for useful information.

These stars are not afraid of the black tide and are definitely the best search scouts.

Fifty-four rays of golden light flew out from the Nantian Gate quietly and disappeared.

Li Mu then went downstairs, boarded the white boat again, and headed to Tiange Pass, nine thousand miles away.

The boat went around Nantianmen and continued forward.

After entering the thick Kuroshio area, the boat traveled extremely slowly, about three thousand miles per hour.

So it took a full three hours before we arrived at the 'Tiange Pass' shown on the broken map.

However--

"This is Tiangeguan? Shouldn't it be a fairy city? Why is it a desert?"

Hua Xiangrong frowned.

Yes.

The boat sailed to the place marked on the map, but did not see the majestic Immortal City.

But a vast desert.

A very strange desert.

A red sun was suspended in the sky over the desert. The faint red light it shed could actually dilute and expel the black tide. It shrouded the endless blood-red desert, making the black devilish energy in the desert air even stronger than that of Nantianmen. The atmosphere inside and outside the main hall is even more sparse.

Driving the boat into the desert is like driving in the ocean.

"Could it be that we went in the wrong direction?"

Zhan Zu said doubtfully.

Li Mu observed for a moment and shook his head.

"Yes, this is Tiange Pass. However, the original Immortal City has been breached and turned into a vast desert, destroyed in the war..."

He reached out and grabbed a handful of sand.

Scarlet sand grains flowed in the palm of the hand like blood and leaked from the fingers.

This is a desert dyed red with blood.
