Listen to what outsiders say

And they are not ready to give up.

Because everyone knows that it is impossible for the demon clan to send out millions of elite troops in such a high-profile manner just for a few pieces of land on the edge of East Frontier that are not even enough to fill their teeth.

A catastrophe that will sweep across the entire Xuantian Realm may be quietly approaching.

This also made Gu Heng realize more deeply the importance of spiritual practice.

If you don't want to be like an ant, swept into the chaos and then crushed, you have to seize the time and become stronger.

However, the last time Gu Heng heard news about the demon army, the situation seemed to be turning in favor of humans... Several extraordinary forces in Dongjiang gave priority to the remaining major forces, such as Qianyin Valley, Tianfu Sect and other sects and families, to form a united front to jointly resist the enemy!

It is said that the demon army's advance momentum has been eased.

Gu Heng thought of Miss Liu Yu.

She is now the successor to the position of Valley Master of Qianyin Valley, but now is also a good time for her to get some training.

With some achievements in hand, her position as the successor to the Valley Master will be more secure in the future.

The Liu family of the Yan Dynasty had naturally moved away long ago.

"Haha, this demon army is indeed coming with great force. Many people will have to suffer..."

Jin Qian took a sip of tea.

Escape?

It's hard to fool even a ghost with such nonsense.

Of course he didn't believe that the master and disciple would need to flee.

Even if the demon army had millions of soldiers, in front of a True Immortal, they could be completely wiped out with just two moves, leaving no one alive. Thinking of this, Jin Qian became even more alert to Gu Heng's intentions.

This guy probably has ulterior motives!

Of course, it is also possible that he did not want to expose his strength, so he chose to retreat.

In fact, it's not just him. As far as Jin Qian knows, the bastards from "Xuxian World" are also hiding behind the scenes, secretly manipulating the entire Xuantian Realm and never revealing their true identities.

But despite their efforts, the demons still wanted to attack humans...

This is obviously not what the guys from "Xuxiantiandi" want to see.

I can only say that the operation is not very good.

Thinking of this, Jin Qian felt a little relieved.

Those bastards, relying on their ability to obtain the "power of the fairyland", really regarded themselves as the controllers of the Xuantian Realm. No one in this deserted city was unhappy to see them suffer a defeat.

"Manager Jin, my master and I plan to settle down in this deserted city. We will probably see each other often in the future, so let's get to know each other first!"

Not wanting to talk about these things about fleeing anymore, they were going to have a new life here. Gu Heng took the initiative to pour tea for Jin Qian as a toast to him.

It seems that there is not even a waiter in this inn owned by Manager Jin, even though it is such a nice inn.

But the food is delicious!

Jin Qian was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"You plan to stay here for a long time?""It's quiet here and we don't like to go anywhere else, so let's just stay here!" said Gu Heng.

This place is simply perfect.

It is peaceful and sparsely populated, and will not be affected by war for the time being. They can practice well here!

And the environment here is indeed lush and green.

Gu Heng didn't understand why people outside said this place was desolate.

He suspected that there was someone with ulterior motives behind this, deliberately spreading rumors that this place was barren and desolate, and then made it sparsely populated and had a bad reputation.

"Well then... since outsiders are willing to settle here, we in the deserted city will naturally welcome them very much!"

Jin Qian smiled on the surface, but alarm bells were beating like drums in his heart.

Still coming to settle down?

How can a deserted city be a place where outsiders can just come whenever they want?

There are so many secrets here. If it was affected by the magic array, then this place should be devastated, barren and withered in the eyes of the public. No one would be willing to live here.

Jin Qian felt that this little girl must have felt the same way.

She is not strong.

Therefore, the "Illusionary Array" must be useful to her.

But her master must have seen a completely different scene!

So Jin Qian began to doubt what purpose Gu Heng had in coming here. If he had good intentions, then it would be fine. But if he had malicious intentions... then he would have to let him know what powerful he was.

As for what these master and disciple are thinking...we'll talk about it later.

Thinking of this, Jin Qian picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Then I would like to congratulate you two in advance. I wish you all the best here!"

"Thank you for your good words, Manager Jin." Gu Heng smiled slightly.

…

Deep in the deserted city, in a courtyard, pavilions and rockery are scattered in an orderly manner, and the garden has winding corridors. The quiet and peaceful environment is also filled with a hint of luxury, giving people a sense of elegance and uniqueness.

The tables and chairs placed in the pavilion are all made of spiritual wood. They are as smooth as a mirror, with intricate carvings and so delicate that they seem to refract streams of light of various colors just by shaking them gently.

A woman is sitting alone on a stone bench, holding a paintbrush, carefully depicting the fish swimming in the pond.

There was a maid standing beside her, grinding and laying paper for her.

"Miss, why are you suddenly in a good mood today?"

The maid looked at the beautiful scenery of the lake and couldn't help asking.

"I have nothing to do, so I just painted a picture."

Yin Xueling answered calmly, picking up the brush with her slender, jade-white fingers.

"Although this place is small and not as good as the 'Xu Xian Tian Di', it is still a different world. Unfortunately, time has passed. If I continue to live here, no matter how beautiful it is, it will only make me tired and bored."

As she said this she put down her pen.

Before the ink has dried, the painting has already produced a lifelike picture of fish swimming in the water, adding the finishing touch and being quite beautiful.It is truly a work of art.

"Young lady's painting skills are getting better and better!" the maid praised. "If we talk about entering the Tao through painting, I'm afraid there is no one in the Xuantian Realm who can compare with you."

"Nothing is absolute, Xiaoqin."

"Besides, you forgot about my grandfather."

Yin Xueling shook her head, and then she saw Yuan Chou passing by the courtyard door and stood up with a smile on his face: "Grandpa Yuan."

"Girl Xueling, you just painted a beautiful picture. Would you like to let me appreciate it?" Yuan Chou walked into the house with a smile.

"certainly."

Yin Xueling stood up and handed the scroll to Yuan Chou, smiling: "It's just a few strokes, not a masterpiece."

"…Okay! Okay!"

Yuan Chou took the painting and looked at it carefully for a moment. The more he looked at it, the more he couldn't let it go. Finally, he couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh.

"It has some of the charm of your grandfather's writing."

Yin Xueling, who was standing by, heard this and her brows gleamed with pride: "Grandpa Yuan, you are too kind. I only know a little bit, it's not worth mentioning."

"Xue Ling girl, humility is a virtue, but being too humble is hypocritical. Don't underestimate yourself. I believe in you!"

Yuan Chou became happier the more he spoke.

But this time he didn't come to find the junior Yin Xueling, but to find the "elder".

"Girl, your grandpa shouldn't be painting, right?"

Yuanchou still has to ask in advance.

Because although "Painter" Yin Rufeng is a gentleman, he is not like that when he is painting. If he is accidentally interrupted, he will fly into a rage.

"No, Grandpa is very free today. Do you have anything important to talk to him about?"

"It's nothing serious, but I have to tell you first that some outsiders have come to the deserted city. It seems that they are not simple. I have to ask Master Hua for instructions on how to proceed."

Yuan Chou looked solemn.

Before coming here again, he went to see "Shu Lao" Si Chen first, and Shu Lao's opinion was "I will listen to Lao Yin."

So he hoped that he would not hear Yin Rufeng's nonsense like "I listen to Si Chen" later.

But it's very likely.

"Isn't it just that there are outsiders coming?"

"With the Immortal Illusion Formation here, outsiders can't see our true appearance, right? What is there to worry about?"

Yin Xueling felt a little strange.

It's not like outsiders had come to this deserted city before.

Yuan Chou had also been guarding the city gate for many years, but she had never seen him so nervous, at least not in Yin Xueling's impression.

"This time, it's not just ordinary people who come here."

Yuan Qiu pinched his beard and said, "There is a person whose strength is so deep that even I cannot fathom him. He is definitely an immortal. The Immortal Illusion Formation is useless to him."That young man is very dangerous.

Regardless of whether he has malicious intentions or not, his existence itself has already threatened the Deserted City. Even if the Deserted City is accidentally exposed, it may attract the bastards of the "Xuxian World".

And those guys showed no mercy to those they identified as "traitors".

Of course, the Deserted City does not have the strength to confront the "Xuxian World" head-on now. After all, it was separated from there.

"Is that so..."

Yin Xueling frowned her delicate eyebrows and pondered for a long time.

"Don't worry, your grandfather and I will take care of this."

Yuan Chou patted her shoulder kindly, then went to find Yin Rufeng.

"…"

Yin Xueling watched Yuan Chou leave.

Then she immediately pulled her maid Xiaoqin out.

"Miss, where are you going?"

Yin Xueling paused, looked back, her eyes moving and she smiled gently.

His face was full of curiosity.

"Xiaoqin, every time an outsider comes here, they are affected by the magic array and leave with disgust on their faces. This time, finally someone came who is not affected by the magic array. Isn't it interesting?"

"Are you going to meet that outsider?!"

Xiaoqin was surprised.

"Yes, I think, maybe he can tell me what kind of place is outside this deserted city?"

"My grandfather and his old beard keep saying things like 'It's extremely dangerous outside. If you go out, you will threaten the survival of the entire deserted city'..."

"Aren't you tired of listening?"

Yin Xueling's tone was soft and sounded particularly comfortable, but Xiaoqin was so frightened that she trembled all over and said hurriedly: "That outsider might be very dangerous!"

"Okay, don't worry, this is still a deserted city after all."

Yin Xueling's curiosity completely overwhelmed the so-called "earnest teachings".

It was a rare opportunity that an outsider who had seen through the psychedelic formation of the deserted city came this time. She felt that if she didn't go to meet him, and stayed here, staring at the pond and painting, wouldn't it be even more boring?

Just want to see you!

Yin Xueling has never seen what the world outside the deserted city looks like since she was born.

Although she had heard about what the outside world was like, those were all said by the people in the deserted city. When they managed to leave by chance, they would always say that the outside world was very chaotic and dangerous.

But Yin Xueling wanted to hear what the people outside had to say in person.
