Chapter 324: Changes in the East Continent
Three days later, Xiao Chen had climbed over so many mountains, crossed so many rivers, and was far away from the seaside where he came from, but now, he didn't know where he was. ˜”*°•.˜˜.•°*”˜
He saw several villages and small towns along the way, but no matter the towns or villages, they were all deserted. Some villages and towns were in dilapidated condition, and they didn't know what caused them to be destroyed.
In addition, in the past few days, there were often strange phenomena in the sky, and the mountains occasionally trembled violently. He did not dare to wield the sword because he could feel that there was a very strong formation spiritual power in the sky. It came through, but I didn’t know what it was.
In the afternoon of this day, he came to a village again. Just like the previous days, there was no one in the village. He stopped and observed carefully. There were no blood stains or any traces of fighting. Only a lot of cracks were found on the ground. It seemed that there had been a violent earthquake not long ago, but the house was well preserved, and it should have been protected by some formation.
"strangeness……"
Xiao Chen looked into the distance, where exactly is this place? Ku Lingzi said that there are countless countries, large and small, in the Eastern cultivation world. Which country is this? There are no people in the villages and towns. Could it be that they are suffering from a war? Or was it a natural disaster that caused people to flee?
After standing for a while, he continued to walk forward, and in the evening, he came to a mountain. At this time, there was a sudden movement in front of him, and there was the vague aura of two Nascent Soul cultivators.
Xiao Chen's expression condensed, and he instinctively suppressed his aura. He hid in a cave in an instant, and stretched out his consciousness ten miles away. He saw dust rising everywhere in the valley, but dozens of people were running towards this direction. come over.
The auras of the dozen or so people were not strong. They should have just reached the realm of refining gods and returning to the void, and they still only had about a hundred years of Taoism. But behind the dozen or so people, there were two powerful Nascent Soul auras, and they caught up in an instant. . ❁
"You are members of our country, Yi, but you have committed treason today. What crime should you be guilty of!"
I saw two white-haired old men chasing after them in an instant. The two men were dressed in the same clothes, with a special logo embroidered on the left lapels. The dozens of people in front saw the two old men chasing after them. At this moment, they finally stopped. If they dared to run away again, everyone's face would turn pale and they would remain silent.
A man said in a trembling voice, "Two seniors...we, we did not commit treason, nor did we ever think about treason, it was just...just..."
Hearing him hemming and hawing, he was speechless. The two old men looked at each other sharply. The old man on the left stopped talking. With a wave of his hand, the sleeves of the dozens of people immediately had a few to dozens of pictures. The spiritual talismans floated out, and each spiritual talisman revealed a strong spiritual power.
Seeing these spirit-gathering talismans being taken out by the two envoys of the State Religion, dozens of people suddenly became pale, but the expressions of the two old men became even colder: "How dare you secretly hide so many spiritual sources from our Yi country?" Say it’s not treason!”
This loud shout scared dozens of people to the ground, their faces turned pale, and they didn't dare to speak anymore. The two old men nodded, "Very good, I'll take you back first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man on the right raised his hand, and a purple light suddenly came out of his sleeves. In an instant, dozens of people were taken into the Yuanying of the Zifu.
The old man on the left asked, "How many people are there in total?"
The old man on the right sensed it and said, "Seventy-eight people."
"Seventy-eight people..." The old man on the left counted with his fingers and frowned, "No, it should be seventy-nine people. Why is there one person missing?"
"One person missing?"
The old man on the right sensed the Nascent Soul again and said, "There are only seventy-eight people."
"Another one ran away."
The old man on the left had a cold expression, and he immediately put out his consciousness. At the same time, in the cave, Xiao Chen stood motionless, and in front of him, there was someone who didn't know when there was someone with a full face. Looking at him in horror.
This was a young man who looked to be in his mid-twenties. He was covering his chest with his hands, and blood seeped out from between his fingers. He must have been wounded by a sword before.
The old man's consciousness outside had already reached over. Xiao Chen raised his hand and instantly set up a barrier of consciousness.
After a long time, I heard the old man outside saying, "There is no one around here anymore, let's go."
"kindness……"
It was long after the two old men outside left that the young man came back to his senses, looked at the unreal figure in front of him, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, righteous man, for saving me!"
Xiao Chen slowly walked out of the cave. When the young man saw him coming, he instinctively stepped back. Only then did he see the other person's appearance clearly. It turned out to be a man who looked younger than himself.
"What is this place?" Xiao Chen asked.
"here……"
Seeing his cold eyes, the young man didn't dare not answer and said, "This is Yi country..." At the end of his words, he mustered up the courage and asked in a low voice, "Listen to the righteous accent... you are not from Yi country." ?”
"I called Wuchen."
"It turns out to be Brother Wuchen. Thank you very much for Brother Wuchen who just came to the rescue."
The man lowered his head. He was still a little shocked at this moment. He also thought about the man in front of him. He had just been able to block the consciousness of a Nascent Soul cultivator of the National Religion in an instant. He had at least two hundred years of Taoism, right?
"Why did you flee? Those two people just said you were treason. What happened?"
Xiao Chen looked at the frightened man in front of him and asked slowly. He was new to a strange place and was unfamiliar with everything. He needed to understand the situation here.
The man saw that he didn't even know about such a big thing recently, and he was more certain that he was not only not from Yi country, but also from a faraway place.
"I asked you a question, why don't you answer it?"
"Yes, yes..."
The man came back to his senses, and didn't dare to hide anything. He said truthfully, "We didn't think of treason, but now Yi country, for some reason, the whole country's spiritual energy suddenly collapsed, so the state religion asked us to fill the spiritual power crack, but that kind of terrible spiritual power crack can't be filled at all, even if we exhaust our cultivation, it's useless..."
After listening to him for a long time, Xiao Chen finally understood about 70% of it. This Yi country is a country in the ordinary level cultivation domain. It seems that there is something wrong with the spiritual power. The spiritual energy began to collapse and leak out. If this continues, at most three months, when the mountains collapse and the earth cracks, the whole country will disappear from the East Continent.
The so-called state religion is the highest existence of a country in the East Continent. Even the emperor has to respect it on weekdays, because it is the existence of the state religion that allows this country to gain a foothold in the East Continent. Once the state religion is destroyed, the country will soon cease to exist. Every country has its own state religion.
Now the problem is that the spiritual energy of Yi State is dissipating. The state religion does not allow any cultivator to leave the country at this time. All cultivators must stay to fill the spiritual power cracks, otherwise they will be regarded as traitors. The fate of being caught back is probably to be directly thrown into the spiritual power cracks to repair the cracks, which is quite cruel.
Now the entire Yi State has been set up with a large formation blockade, and even the sky is imprisoned by the Tianluo formation. How can he leave here?
