Chapter 401: Hundred Thousand Mountains

A month later, Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er arrived in Bacheng.

As early as when they were in Xunzhou City, they had heard about the situation in Bacheng.

Now, those statements are not exaggerated at all.

Bacheng has almost become a city of cultivators. Cultivators flying overhead shuttle back and forth, disregarding the law. The people on the street are busy and crowded, carrying large and large goods to the outside of the city.

It is said that this is because General Yuchi has launched a protracted war with the Wu Gu tribe and the Demon Dao in the depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Gods.

This time the Demon Dao is more mysterious, and it can only be confirmed that it is not the real target of the pursuit, Master Wuyuan.

Now Bacheng is completely in chaos. A mountain city is almost like a port transportation hub like Xunzhou City. Not only are there mortals who run business, but also disciples of the Renzong are here, and there are many casual cultivators who come to join in the fun.

Four years ago, the Renzong still did not allow other casual cultivators to enter the city, but now, because of the lack of manpower for two-front operations, they have to requisition casual cultivators.

This requisition is equivalent to opening a loophole, which is completely out of control.

In view of this situation, Ning Wuxie discussed with everyone and decided to go in first to see the situation. Observe Yuchi Songxu's battle on the bank of the Sorrow Cloud River. If they are defeated, they can withdraw calmly.

Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er showed a little bit of their cultivation and said that they were cultivators in the Concentrated Spirit Realm. They were hired by the disciples in charge of the Human Sect and assigned to a group of horses to escort them into the mountains.

The two stayed in the city for a few more days, waiting for the horses to set off. Finally, one day they received news and followed a group of horses to the Shiwan Mountains.

The owner of the horse team was named Shi Jun. This was their third time in the mountains. The group left Bacheng and headed towards the mountains along a dirt road with deep ruts.

The dirt road extended into the mountains. It was very obvious that the mountain road had been pressed out by people and horses over the years, and even the dense forests on both sides of the road had been cleared of about half a foot of space.

"Isn't the road condition very good?" Ning Wuxie asked Shi Jun.

"It won't be good in the future." Shi Jun's attitude towards Ning Wuxie was just average, and he was unwilling to talk more. It was obvious that this was not the first time he had dealt with a casual cultivator.

"How long will it take to get to the bank of the Sorrow Cloud River?"

"More than half a month." Shi Jun had a blank expression.

It seemed that he was not very interested in talking, so Ning Wuxie stopped boring himself and concentrated on walking.

In the next few days, he never gave up asking Shi Jun for information.

For example, why did Yuchi Songxu need so many people to continuously transport supplies in, and why didn't he let the disciples of the sect use storage rings to transport them.

After hearing Shi Jun's explanation, Ning Wuxie understood what was happening in the depths of the mountains.

The Wu Gu tribe of the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom was dissatisfied with Yuchi Songxu's stationing of troops on the bank of the Sorrow Cloud River, so they sent people to negotiate. Unexpectedly, Yuchi Songxu directly killed the envoy and sent troops to suppress him. Now the capital of the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom has been captured!

With such a deep hatred, how could the Wu Gu tribe surrender? All the Wu Gu tribes in the Shiwan Mountains united and fought guerrilla warfare in the mountains, fighting day and night with Yuchi Songxu's army and the disciples of the Renzong.

Not only that, there is another group of forces in the Chouyun River, a group of demons called Ai Xuejiao.

They have now joined forces with the Wu Gu tribe to fight against Yuchi Songxu.

Although Yuchi Songxu has the cultivation of a celestial being and can sweep across Nanzhao, the disciples of the Renzong led by him suffered, with extremely high casualties. The five hundred evil tigers under his command are personal soldiers and also need supplies.

In short, this violent guy has spread his stall too big, and now he needs the entire Renzong and Xuanqin to clean up his ass.

After a few days of getting to know each other, Shi Jun also began to scold Yuchi Songxu's beastly behavior with Ning Wuxie.

"That beast doesn't take human life seriously at all. If I were to ask you, that guy is even more evil than the devil!"

After Shi Jun finished scolding, he glanced at Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er, "I thought you were casual cultivators, so I said that. If those disciples of the Human Sect were to guard you, I wouldn't dare to say a word and would have to serve you well."

Ning Wuxie smiled, "Brother Shi, don't worry too much. We are just asking for a meal."

Shi Jun looked more relaxed and nodded.

"I really don't know what the Human Sect is thinking. They found such a person to encircle and suppress Wuyuan Demon Lord. The Nanzhao Wu Gu tribe is doing well in the mountains. Why go and provoke them..."

"Brother Shi, do you also think Wuyuan is really a demon?"

Shi Jun was stunned, and sighed after a moment: "We don't know, and we haven't been to Dongli Mountain. What they say is what it is..."

"But this Yuchi is a real beast!" He changed his tone and scolded Yuchi Songxu again, "He relies on the support of the Human Sect to spend money like this. What has he done to Bacheng? The next step is to drag the common people in to fill the hole?! That's Chouyun River!"

The carriage has entered the real depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains. The accompanying spirit formation that drives away the miasma is running non-stop, otherwise mortals like Shi Jun will be seriously ill if they breathe it in.

The mountain road has also become narrow and difficult here. Ning Wuxie and Shi Jun are walking in front, and from time to time they swing their swords to cut off the branches and leaves that grow and invade the road.

Shi Jun's complaints, to put it bluntly, are that the Human Clan forcibly conscripted them, and the rewards given are obviously not commensurate with the difficulty of the task.

The climate in the Shiwan Mountains is hot and humid, with miasma and insects and snakes everywhere, which is difficult for ordinary people to get used to.

So far, Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er have killed several giant pythons for the caravan, as well as swarms of giant mosquitoes flying from the swamp.

Of course, there were also attacks from monsters. Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er acted a little, showing that they were struggling, but they finally succeeded in killing them.

After that, Shi Jun and others' attitude towards Ning Wuxie and the others obviously improved, and they talked about everything.

"Oh, fortunately, in two days, we can see the Sorrow Cloud River." Shi Jun sighed, looking back at his caravan, "Once there, the mountain road is not so difficult to walk, and the disciples of the Human Sect will also come to pick us up."

Ning Wuxie nodded, "Then we..."

"Well, the two of you can also return first. The disciples who receive you will give you a certificate. You can take the certificate and go back to Bacheng to claim the reward. The disciples of the Human Sect will take care of the rest."

Shi Jun felt quite relieved: "To be honest, this trip is really the most stable one. If other guards can be as advanced as the two immortal masters, the old man will not be full of complaints."

"Unfortunately, the previous cultivators were not good. Every time they encountered monsters, they were at a loss. Losing goods is okay, but the death of people is unbearable..."

"The two immortal masters are really the strongest guards I have ever seen." Shi Jun smiled and cupped his hands.

Ning Wuxie was stunned. He didn't want Shi Jun to realize how advanced his and Xuan'er's cultivation was. But every time a crisis came, he couldn't just watch the merchant porters being eaten.

Unexpectedly, the guard cultivator who didn't get into trouble was actually very strong?

"Luck, just luck..." He waved his hand.

"Hey, you cultivators pay attention to good fortune, the two immortal masters are lucky, so your future achievements will definitely be limitless..."

"Immortal masters?"

Shi Jun didn't say anything, because he saw Ning Wuxie suddenly turned his head and stared at the jungle in front of the left. There was an old tree with a twisted shape and covered with moss and vines, and a large leaf of a fern was shaking slightly.

"Is there a monster?" Shi Jun was immediately nervous and raised his hand to signal the whole team to stop.

Ning Wuxie didn't say anything, stood up, and looked back at the end of the team.

Xuan'er there also stood up and looked at him.

She felt it too.

It's not a monster, it's a person.

They have been surrounded.
