The mountain road was difficult to travel, and these people had traveled for more than ten days, or even dozens of days, but they had only reached this point. Yongji and Mi Xiaojing only flew for a few hours, and the efficiency of the two was really different.
It’s no wonder that those who have not reached the foundation-building stage of cultivation can only move within a small range. In the world of cultivation, only those who are in the foundation-building stage are considered true cultivators.
Mi Xiaojing finally realized this. It was not obvious in the sect, but to the outside world, this point was very important.
As they flew out of the mountainous area, there were more and more people on the ground, and even on some roads, they had formed a flow of people, heading towards Qianhuo City.
The forest here is still dense, and a path vaguely extends in the forest. Looking down from the sky, the intermittent flow of people stretches far and far.
From time to time, you can still see a little fire, that is, someone is lighting a fire and cooking. When Yongji and Mi Xiaojing fly over their heads, these people look up curiously.
…
Qianhuo City was originally a small town where casual cultivators gathered. Many mortals attached themselves to this city. It was also a market where casual cultivators often came to trade and exchange.
However, the one who really controls this place is the Kenshin Sect, and the casual cultivators are not the masters here.
In the past half year, a large number of people have poured in here, more than half of them are low-level cultivators from the Jianxin Sect, and there are also a large number of mortals arriving one after another.
Various simple wooden shacks stretch from the edge of the small town into the forest. Due to no one managing them, the place has become extremely crowded and dirty.
The more decent houses are all in the small town. In addition, there are many well-built wooden buildings in the northwest corner, each surrounded by courtyard walls.
Zhang Ke, Robo, and Mu Xiaoyin all live here, including the old village chief Zhang Liben and his family, as well as the former tenants of Xiyanmen. They are all people sent by Mi Xiaojing. They have long occupied the small town. Outside, there is a small manor.
In addition, Tian Cang also lives here in seclusion, which is considered one of their strongest weapons.
Qianhuo City has been very chaotic recently, with robbery, murder, and chaos. For safety, Zhang Ke gathered all the people in the manor. Due to sufficient preparation, they did not lack food or force. They also sheltered a group of people here. Mortals, let them build wooden sheds outside the courtyard walls, and provide food relief from time to time.
After a period of hard training, and relying on the foundation-building pill given by Mi Xiaojing, Rob successfully advanced to the early stage of foundation-building not long ago. His strength has skyrocketed, and he has become the most powerful person among his friends.
Wei Fu has advanced to the late stage of Qi training, and his strength is second only to Rob. Dazhu and Maotou have also advanced to the middle stage of Qi training. Only Zhang Ke is one step short of reaching the late stage of Qi training. It's not that he doesn't work hard, but because of his miscellaneous skills. too much.
Mu Xiaoyin's cultivation has also improved. Unfortunately, even if the low-level cultivation is promoted, the strength is still very weak. Fortunately, with the help of everyone, she has bodyguards around her at all times, either Robert or Wei Fu. In short, Whenever I go out, there will be a few little brothers following me.
More and more news is spreading to Qianhuo City. There are various kinds of information, some say that the Jianxin Sect has won, others that the Jianxin Sect has been destroyed. There are many strange statements that make people panic.
There are also more and more casual cultivators entering Qianhuo City. These people act unscrupulously, but they still have some scruples about the cultivators of the Jianxin Sect and do not dare to blatantly bully them.
The battles between casual cultivators and casual cultivators are more cruel. Fights often occur, and death is common, especially for low-level casual cultivators, who live a more difficult life.
It wasn't until some time ago that some cultivators of the Core Formation Stage came over that the order in Qianhuo City improved. Especially after several Masters of the Core Formation Stage of the Jianxin Sect arrived, unscrupulous fighting was no longer seen during the day. These masters We also spoke together, saying that whoever dares to kill people indiscriminately will not have to live anymore, and they will be hunted down to the end.
As a large number of casual cultivators entered Qianhuo City, the entire town was already overcrowded.
During the day, cultivators will enter the forests around Qianhuo City. They go hunting, digging, and collecting materials, and then return to the outside of the city to rest at night. There are even many cultivators who stay there for several days or more. Then come back to rest.
There were acquaintances in the manor occupied by Zhang Ke and others. Not far from them, there was a courtyard smaller than their manor, with two bungalows in the courtyard.
The people who live here are also cultivators of the Jianxin Sect, and they are also from Qingmu Peak and Caorentang. One is the deacon Guan Shangli, and the other is the female alchemist Li Huai, each living in a bungalow.
A small wooden shed was built outside the yard. There were many low-level disciples from Caorentang here, including Chen Zhong, Chen Ergou and other people Mi Xiaojing knew. They were also lucky enough to escape from the sect in advance and had a hard time all the way. Arrive at Qianhuo City.
In fact, the real heavy casualties this time were the foundation-building and pill-forming masters of the Kenshin Sect. A large part of them were killed by their own ancestor Guban. Of course, outsiders died even more.
It was because of the casualties of this group of people that Yu Hong and Mu Hengyuan became disheartened and gave up the Sword Heart Sect completely. If these backbone cultivators were still there, they might still have some confidence in rebuilding the sect.
Cultivators in the foundation building stage and the core formation stage are the mainstays of any small or medium-sized sect, and they play a role in connecting the past and the following. Once they are lost, the sect will have no backbone and it will be difficult to turn around again, especially this time the sect's station is also lost. , which caused the Sword Heart Sect to completely lose its vitality.
On this day, a piece of news reached Qianhuo City, which made Zhang Ke and others extremely nervous. A group of people sat in the yard, all with sad faces.
Zhang Ke said: "I heard that the Jianxin Sect is really over, with heavy casualties. The specific situation is not very clear yet. It is estimated that in a few days, clear news will come... What do you think?"
Rob's eyes were red. He stood up and said, "I, I'm going to find brother Xiaomi!"
Mu Xiaoyin grabbed him and said, "You can't go!"
Wei Fu also said: "I'll go too!"
Zhang Ke was under great pressure for a moment, and he said: "What did my junior uncle say when he left? You should still remember it!"
Rob lowered his head: "I know!"
Zhang Ke said: "My uncle has repeatedly asked us to wait for him in Qianhuo City. No matter what happens outside, we must wait for his return. No matter what news everyone hears, please ignore it for the time being. My uncle will definitely come back." Yes, I have confidence in my junior uncle, don’t you?"
Rob bit his lip, hesitating for a long time, and finally sat down. He really didn't want to go against Mi Xiaojing's words, and said, "Okay, let's wait a few more days."
When Zhang Ke and Mu Xiaoyin left Jianxin Sect, Mi Xiaojing specifically told them that when he came back, everyone must be there, no one should be missing, so the pressure fell on the two of them. .
