Chapter 559: Ancient City of Loulan

Let’s talk about Xiao Mian again. He was looking at the mess in front of him with a gloomy face.

After leaving Hongyun Cave, Xiao Mian did not go straight to Yangguan, but returned to the original route and flew towards the place where he encountered three Zhishan Church members before. However, after thinking about it, Xiao Mian was still worried about Guihai. As for the amorous young man Hua Mancheng who cheated people to death, Xiao Mian wished that he and Yu Wushuang would fight to the death together!

When he came here, he saw that there was not only blood flowing like a river, but also a mess.

Years ago, Xiao Mian had just passed Yumen Tianguan and came here to look for Guihai. Although he encountered three Zhishan Church members at that time, this place was peaceful.

Unexpectedly, the trip to Hongyun Cave lasted for half a year and had turned the world upside down.

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Xiao Mian suddenly opened his eyes and activated the spirit-seeking eyes.

Scanning the scene inch by inch, Xiao Mian indeed found a trace of Guihai’s true essence fluctuation on a broken rock wall. This is not the end. After a closer look, Xiao Mian found a trace of blood at the root of the giant rock. The blood had already coagulated, but Xiao Mian bent down to pick up a piece of blood and catalyzed it with his true essence, turning it into a trace of blood again. After a slight sniff, Xiao Mian's face became even uglier.

When Xiao Mian and the other two fought against the demon-possessed Mie Yuan that day, Gui Hai had been seriously injured and vomited blood. Therefore, Xiao Mian was not unfamiliar with Gui Hai's blood. More importantly, Gui Hai's body was a Panlong half-demon, and his blood was different from that of ordinary human cultivators.

In other words, Gui Hai was injured!

A cultivator with amazing combat power like Gui Hai would either not be injured on weekdays, or once injured, it meant that he had encountered a powerful opponent who was strong enough to kill him - such as Mie Yuan!

Could it be that the Zhishan Sect actually dispatched a quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator?

If so, how could the Seven Emotions Demon Palace to which Hua Mancheng belonged have no reaction?

What you fear will come true. Originally, I thought Gui Hai and Hua Mancheng would be safer together, but now, Gui Hai has become Hua Mancheng's shield!

Now it seems that what is going on between Yumen Tianguan and Yangguan is clearly a game between Zhishan Sect and Qiqing Demon Palace. Hua Mancheng and Yu Wushuang are just pawns, but Gui Hai has already fallen into it...

Gui Hai is already deep in the mud, how can he, Xiao Mian, stay out of it?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Xiao Mian blasted the huge rock wall with a punch.

Unexpectedly, this time, he poked a hornet's nest.

In just a moment, a ray of light came.

Xiao Mian looked at it intently and was stunned. The person who came was one of the three people who mocked Xiao Mian that day. At the same time, the person obviously saw Xiao Mian.

The person landed in front of Xiao Mian and looked at Xiao Mian with ill intentions.

Seeing that the other party was only at the initial stage of Jindan, Xiao Mian was puzzled: If he dared to mock him last time because there were three of them and they had the advantage in numbers, Xiao Mian could understand it; but now there is only one Jindan initial stage cultivator, why does he show off in front of a Jindan mid-level cultivator like him?

Could it be that the aura of the native cultivators of Zhongzhou is so dazzling?

"Are you the foreign cultivator who came here half a year ago?" Obviously, the man also recognized Xiao Mian, and became more and more arrogant. He almost didn't even look at Xiao Mian, and questioned Xiao Mian with his nose in the air: "Tell me! Why do you come here again and again?"

"Are you from the Zhishan Sect?"

"You ask even though you know it!"

"Are you here to intercept that bastard Hua Mancheng?"

"You! How did you know? Are you an accomplice of that rapist?"

The man was alert, but his words had already exposed his purpose. Xiao Mian was too lazy to talk to him. He suddenly rushed forward and knocked away the flying sword sent by the other party with a sword. Xiao Mian stretched out his hand to pinch the man's neck, lifted him up, and swung him in the air.

"Woo... Woo..."

After a long time, Xiao Mian finally knocked the man down to the ground.

Gasps, the man lay on the ground, looking at Xiao Mian in horror.

"Can you answer my question now?"

"You...what are you..." As the man said this, Xiao Mian had already stepped on his palm and crushed it slightly. The man's palm was completely broken, and all five fingers were broken. He couldn't help crying loudly. Xiao Mian was not afraid that the man's crying would attract other people. He let him cry for a long time, and then asked again: "Can you answer my question?"

"You...what do you want to know..."

Not a moment later, Xiao Mian casually wiped the man and beheaded him in the wild.

After putting away the man's storage bag and destroying the body, Xiao Mian looked at the scene again, then threw out the Qingmu flying boat, got into it, and flew into the sky, pointing directly to the east.

From that person, Xiao Mian learned that the saint of Zhishan Sect, Yu Wushuang, did come because of Hua Mancheng, and had been chasing and blocking Hua Mancheng in Longhutan for a whole six months!

Just a few days ago, Hua Mancheng and Gui Hai fled to Yangguan.

It is said that after entering Yangguan, Hua Mancheng will be able to get support from the Seven Emotions Demon Palace.

However, the Zhishan Sect had already set up ambushes all along the way, and the thorns were dense.

Xiao Mian used the Qingmu Flying Boat with all his strength, and relied on the "Three Pure Holy Scriptures" to automatically restore the consumed true energy. It was a full 100,000 miles to Yangguan, and he didn't know where Gui Hai and Hua Mancheng had fled to. In order to stay in a state of combat readiness at any time, Xiao Mian used the Qingmu Flying Boat, of course, because Gui Hai was familiar with the escape light of the Qingmu Flying Boat.

A green light flashed across the sky, and the Qingmu Flying Boat was as fast as lightning.

At the same time, Gui Hai and Hua Mancheng were trapped in an ancient city.

After Gui Hai followed Hua Mancheng away that day, if Xiao Mian had not used the ghost head's spiritual sense to persuade him to enter Zhongzhou earlier, Gui Hai would not have been willing to leave Longhutan.

After that, under the instigation of Hua Mancheng, the playboy, Gui Hai did not choose to take the road of Yumen Tianguan, but followed Hua Mancheng nearby and took Longhutan.

The Longhutan secret passage was originally one of the three passages leading directly to Zhongzhou.

Previously, Hua Mancheng appeared in Longhutan by some strange coincidence, and it was the secret passage he took. Now the two of them returned by the same route, but they did not expect to encounter an ambush by the Zhishan sect led by Yu Wushuang when they set foot in Zhongzhou. Fortunately, the two of them had amazing fighting power, so they were not killed on the spot in the first wave of the opponent's attack.

To be precise, it was also Hua Mancheng who was lucky enough to drag Gui Hai with him. Otherwise, if he was alone, even if he did not die on the spot, he would definitely be seriously injured and his foundation would be ruined.

After that, the two fought and retreated, sometimes entering Zhongzhou to kill people, and sometimes retreating to Longhutan to recuperate, which made the Zhishan Sect believers complain bitterly.

It was not until Yu Wushuang could not bear it anymore and took action himself that he stopped the two.

Yu Wushuang himself was only at the top of the Jindan level, and had not yet condensed his consciousness. His combat power was still inferior to Benchu, but Yu Wushuang did not come alone. Not to mention that those who came to besiege Hua Mancheng this time were all the best of the younger generation of the Zhishan Sect, either at the middle or high level of the Jindan. Just talking about the other person, he actually fought Gui Hai on equal terms.

That person was the third person in the younger generation of the Zhishan Sect besides Yu Wushuang and Liu Suyi - Niu Shi, who practiced the "Vincerity and Virtue"!

Although Niu Shi was not well-known and did not look impressive, and his cultivation was only at the high level of the Jindan, he had fought with Gui Hai several times, and they had both won and lost, and they were evenly matched.

It was because of Niu Shi that held Gui Hai back that Yu Wushuang could deal with Hua Mancheng without any worries. It was unknown whether he relied on his status or disdained the confrontation with Hua Mancheng. From beginning to end, Yu Wushuang did not personally deal with Hua Mancheng, but just let those Jindan monks in Zhishan Sect constantly besiege Hua Mancheng.

Poor Hua Mancheng, who claimed to be romantic, was played around by Yu Wushuang.

But it was precisely because of this that Hua Mancheng and Gui Hai had an opportunity to take advantage of...

Half a month ago, Gui Hai suddenly went crazy in a battle with Niu Shi, and used the "Wall Standing Thousands of Feet" and "Sea Accepting Hundreds of Rivers" that had been hidden for a long time.

These two Buddhist body-building secrets were practiced by Gui Hai very well. When they were used at first, Niu Shi was shocked and caught off guard, and there were dangers everywhere.

Although Yu Wushuang had never shown up, he was always monitoring the changes in the battle situation. Niu Shi was originally invited by Yu Wushuang to help in the battle. It was understandable that he suffered some minor injuries, but if he was shaken and even his head and body were separated, even if Yu Wushuang was the contemporary goddess of Zhishan Sect, it would be difficult to explain when she returned to Xianyang City. After all, Zhishan Sect was a big family, and it was not just Yu Wushuang's lineage that covered the sky with one hand. Liu Suyi and Niu Shi both had backers.

Therefore, Yu Wushuang had to come forward to save Niu Shi.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hua Mancheng brazenly detonated the only two remaining golden sword fan bones in the Qiankun fan, successfully forming a psychic storm area that was off-limits to outsiders.

The white Qiankun fan rolled up and caught Gui Hai, who was repelled by Yu Wushuang and Niu Shi. The two brothers fled in panic and escaped the encirclement.

The place where the two sides fought was the devastated place that Xiao Mian had seen before.

After that, the two of them fought guerrillas everywhere, traveling thousands of miles...

However, Yu Wushuang had been strategizing for a long time, and all along the way of Yumen Tianguan and Yangguan, there were followers of Zhishan Sect. After hiding here and there, Gui Hai and Hua Mancheng were trapped in the ruins of this ancient city by the overwhelming human sea offensive of Zhishan Sect.

Fortunately, Hua Mancheng was also a local snake in Qin County and had some knowledge of this ancient city.

To this day, the area between Yumen Tianguan and Yangguan is a barren land that Qin County is unwilling to accept, but in the long history, there was no Yumen Tianguan and Yangguan at all. This barren land was once a prosperous holy place for cultivation.

According to the files of the Seven Emotions Demon Palace, this ancient city was originally a prosperous town in the western region of Zhongzhou, and a major transportation route between Zhongzhou and Xishuzhou and Beiweizhou.

It is said that in the more distant past, before the Battle of the Sealed Spirit, the prosperity of this place was even higher than that of Zhongzhou. However, for some reason, long before the Battle of the Sealed Spirit, this place had become a ruin, and the ancient city was abandoned overnight.

After the Battle of the Sealed Spirit broke out, the monks trapped in this world were flawless since ancient times, so how could they care about the ruins of the mysteriously disappeared ancient city?

Later, Yumen Tianguan and Yangguan were built one after another, and the large barren land outside Yangguan was abandoned by Zhongzhou, and naturally no one came to explore this ancient city.

All we know is that the ancient city is called Loulan...
