Hui Xun City!
One of the famous big cities in Zhangzhou, it is also known as the city of casual cultivators.
Because this big city does not belong to any party, but was founded by two powerful casual cultivators in Zhangzhou.
Although there are strongholds of various forces in this city, the two real masters of the city are the two casual cultivators. They are the masters of the city.
Perhaps because of the scattered construction of the city, the commercial atmosphere in this city is extremely strong, and the vast majority of the scattered cultivators are willing to spend a little more time here to conduct transactions.
Ouyang Ming followed Xue Haiya and others through mountains and rivers, and finally came to this magnificent city.
This is a city built on a plain, but behind the city, there are steep mountains and endless dense forests.
Seeing Ouyang Ming's interested eyes, Xue Haiya quickly said: "Brother Tianrui, Huixun City is the largest city in the minds of all casual cultivators. The reason why we chose to build it here is actually to facilitate everyone's hunting."
"Hunting?" Ouyang Ming asked curiously.
"Exactly." Although Xue Haiya's cultivation level is not high, his knowledge is quite extensive. At this moment, he spoke freely without any hesitation: "There used to be no city here, only a small town, which led to the forest of death. An important entrance. All those who want to enter the forest of death will make final preparations here."
Ouyang Ming turned his eyes and looked at the dense forest far behind the city.
Xue Haiya chuckled and said: "That is the Forest of Death. Although there are many crises in it, there are also countless opportunities. Let alone casual cultivators, even those of us with small family backgrounds will have the idea of entering and traveling in it. ”
Ouyang Ming laughed dumbly and said, "Have you ever gone in?"
Xue Haiya nodded slowly and said: "When I was young, I went in once with my brothers from the same clan. It was really dangerous inside." A trace of panic flashed across his face. It was obvious that even after so many years, he had never forgotten it. What happened there.
Xue Xuanle asked curiously: "Uncle, you still have such an experience, why didn't you tell me before?" Her face flashed with excitement and said: "I also want to go in and travel."
Xue Yuan said loudly: "Uncle, I will also go in and find out."
"You..." Xue Haiya said, dumbfounded: "What kind of place do you think that is? Huh, you don't know whether to live or die!"
Then he cursed a few times and sighed: "The Death Forest is full of dangers. Not only do you have to fight with all kinds of weird creatures, but you can't take it lightly even if you encounter human companions. Hey, when I entered before, I had just broken through to The spirit man almost lost his life there."
Both Xue Xuanle and Xue Yuan's expressions changed slightly. Although they had not experienced the danger of the Death Forest, since Xue Haiya spoke so solemnly, they were alert.
Ouyang Ming nodded thoughtfully, becoming curious about the Death Forest.
The danger there might be fatal to Xue Haiya when he was a first-level spiritual person. However, Ouyang Ming and his three hidden spirit beast companions would not take this threat seriously.
However, since there are two sages building a city here, it is enough to prove that the Death Forest has huge benefits. Although Ouyang Ming would not interfere, it was nothing to make a fortune while passing by.
Xue Haiya sighed with emotion for a moment, gathered his thoughts, and said: "Those powerful spiritual beasts in the forest of death would suddenly attack from time to time, causing heavy deaths to the casual cultivators in the town. So, when the two casual cultivators were promoted to venerables and swore to When the city was built, he immediately received the recognition and help of countless casual cultivators." He looked up at the towering city wall and said slowly: "The establishment of this city of casual cultivators did not rely on any major sects, but all the scattered cultivators. Xiu’s pride.”
Seeing his flushed face, Ouyang Ming said in surprise: "Senior, you... don't seem to be casual cultivators?"
Xue Haiya was startled and said with a wry smile: "Brother Tianrui, we, disciples from a small family, are actually not much different from casual cultivators." He said with a sigh on his face: "If we really have a big sect to back us, , Then how dare the Teng family..." At this point, his voice quickly dropped, and even his tone was choked.
This time the Teng family raided, the Xue family almost suffered a disaster. Although some people escaped, the fate of the old, weak, women and children who stayed in the family can be imagined.
When they fled all the way, they did not have the time or energy to think about this matter, or in other words, they deliberately avoided thinking about it.
However, when they arrived at Huixun City and their safety was basically guaranteed, they couldn't control their emotions.
Not only Xue Haiya, but also Xue Xuanle and Xue Yuan seemed to have signs of being infected.
Ouyang Ming said quickly: "Everyone, since we are here, let's enter the city quickly." He paused and then said: "If someone catches up at this time, it will be more than worth the gain."
Xue Haiya and the other two people's expressions became serious. They immediately stopped thinking and quickened their pace, as if someone was really chasing them behind them.
Huixun City is indeed one of the leading cities in Zhangzhou. When they entered the city, they did not encounter any difficulties.
Although there are several guards at the city gate, these guards all release spirit-level auras. Their eyes were as keen as eagles, and they immediately spotted Xue Haiya and others in a hurry among the crowd, but they still did not stop them in any way, not even asking.
After entering the city, Ouyang Ming could no longer see the guards. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Senior Xue, the guards here are also spiritual beings? Isn't that too extravagant?"
Since entering the spirit world, Ouyang Ming has met countless powerful people. However, even in this world, spiritual beings are at the same level as humans.
Despite the large number of spiritual beings in large forces, compared to the entire population of the force, this proportion does not exceed one tenth.
And if this comparison is expanded to the entire ethnic group, it will appear even more exaggerated.
In a city of this size, if even the ordinary gate guards are spirits, Ouyang Ming still doesn't know how to deduce the true strength of this city.
Xue Haiya chuckled lightly and said: "Brother Tianrui, those city gate guards are actually just part-time workers, not under the command of the two city lords."
"Oh..." Ouyang Ming responded calmly, with a look of confusion on his face.
Xue Haiya explained: "This is a city of casual cultivators. The management of the city lords is not strict. On the contrary, many casual cultivators in the city stick together and form various organizations over the years. They spontaneously send out spirit-level members to guard the city gate in rotation. "He said with envy: "This is how all the casual cultivators show their support for the two city lords."
Ouyang Ming suddenly realized that it would indeed be an extremely luxurious and impractical approach to rely solely on one force and send spiritual beings to guard the gate.
However, if it is the behavior of all the casual cultivators in the city taking turns, then its meaning is completely different.
However, it can also be seen from this that the two informal cultivator city lords are indeed very popular in this city.
"Uncle, we have already entered the city." Xue Yuan asked impatiently: "Where are we going to find our clan members now?"
Xue Haiya said slowly: "Don't be anxious. Now that we are in the city, no matter how rampant the Teng family is, they will never dare to take action here."
Ouyang Ming also nodded slightly. No matter who he was as the city lord, it would be impossible for outsiders to start a war in the city and disrupt the order in the city.
Xue Yuan's face turned slightly red and he said: "Uncle, I... I just want to see my clan members as soon as possible."
Xue Xuanle curled her lips and thought to herself that wanting to see her clansmen was a lie, but wanting to return to her clansmen to find a sense of security was real. However, the little girl also had the same thoughts and thoughts in her heart.
Traveling with Ouyang Ming all the way, although they were protected by his formation and safe and sound, deep down in their hearts, they still wanted to believe that they had more people.
Xue Haiya naturally knew what they were thinking, but he did not point it out. Instead, he said: "Wu Xiaohuang, the head of the Wu family in Huixun City, is the old man's best friend. Since the old man ordered us to break out of the encirclement and come to Huixun City, we must have He defected to the Wu family."
"Design to..." Xue Yuan frowned tightly. Because of his talent, he could be considered spoiled.
But it was precisely because of this that he understood that it was not pleasant to live under someone else's roof.
However, now he has no choice.
Ouyang Ming smiled slightly and said, "Senior Xue, since you already have a place to go, I'll leave you alone for now."
Xue Haiya heard this and said quickly: "Brother Tianrui, we haven't repaid you for saving our lives along the way. How can we leave like this?" He eagerly grabbed Ouyang Ming's hand and said sincerely: "If I let you do this, If I leave, the old man will definitely say that I am ignorant. Brother Tianrui, no matter what, please come with me and let me thank you."
Ouyang Ming pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since Senior Xue doesn't mind the trouble, let's go with him." He actually had no intention of leaving, but when he arrived at Huixun City, if he followed shamelessly, he might arouse suspicion. . However, since Xue Haiya was sincerely trying to persuade him to stay, he just agreed.
Xue Haiya grinned and said with a smile: "No trouble, no trouble, I wish you all."
Xue Yuan snorted lightly and looked away.
When he was being chased by the Teng family outside the city, because he needed to use Ouyang Ming's formation skills, he kept controlling his emotions. However, now that he has entered the city and his safety has been guaranteed, Ouyang Ming's importance has plummeted, and he doesn't want to see this person anymore.
Ouyang Ming is younger than him, and his cultivation level is similar to his, but he is good at formations. He is a formation master who can kill mid-level spirits. With such a person together, he will definitely steal the limelight that belongs to him. So he didn't like it.
Xue Haiya frowned slightly and glared at Xue Yuan, warning him not to act rashly. Then he turned around and led the way with a smile.
