Chapter 126 Black Mountain Demon Land 

Chapter 126 Black Mountain Demon Land 

From the perspective of family affection, he was more willing to believe that Third Uncle was dead.

From the perspective of human nature, the old bastard probably ran away, deliberately hiding it from him, wanting him to take the blame for dereliction of duty.

The second guess was more in line with reality, wasn't it?

Because of this, Yuan Qu's current emotions were quite tense, even to the point of being on the verge of erupting.

Just then, a subordinate at the Third Level Qi Condensation Stage trotted over, looking a bit strange, and said:

"City Lord Yuan, the Envoy has ordered action."

"What?"

Yuan Qu almost jumped up, grabbing the subordinate's collar, his eyes bloodshot.

"Is he crazy? It's daytime now, large-scale looting will definitely be discovered by those above!"

"It's not…"

The subordinate said nervously.

"The Envoy and several disciples of the Vulture Sect seem to want to search the entire Inner City for a mysterious person. This person captured the Envoy's disciple last night, a Cultivator named Wang Wu."

Yuan Qu calmed down slightly then.

"Wang Wu? I know him. He's missing?"

"Yes."

"Little bastard, still delaying my affairs at this time."

After cursing a few times casually, Yuan Qu gradually calmed down, feeling that something was wrong. The spotless Bamboo House of Third Uncle resurfaced in his mind.

"No, where is the Envoy sent by the Vulture Sect?"

The subordinate wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"The Envoy said he went out of the city to look around, and left the Inner City to us."

"Bullshit, he ran… he must have run!"

In this world, the smarter people are, the more they believe in themselves, but there is also a kind of stubborn person who considers themselves different, and starts every sentence with "Don't you think that I'm the only one who thinks..."

Wanting to show off their superiority and extraordinariness, not knowing that in the eyes of others they are like a clown, unable to see the excellence of others and their own shortcomings.

While being stubborn, they forever live in their own world.

Yuan Qu was somewhere between this kind of person and a smart person. His brain was not smart, but he firmly believed in the truth he had deduced.

He determined that the Old City Lord and the Envoy had run away, so they had run away!

He couldn't see the irrationality of this guess.

For example, why the Old City Lord would let him inherit Stone Lake City, why he would live in seclusion nearby, and even more so, he couldn't see the mission the Envoy was carrying, stubbornly believing in the "truth" he had guessed.

"It must be a Traveling Cultivator from the Heavenly Void Sword Sect who has come. Run quickly… if we are late, we will lose our lives, yes… we should run!"

Yuan Qu muttered in a voice so low it was almost inaudible.

After a long while, he finally raised his head and said.

"Order everyone to immediately carry out the looting mission. Bring all the people captured to Tunnel Entrance No. 4 and wait for the Envoy's instructions."

"Yes."

The subordinate received the order and did not ask any more questions, immediately going to execute it.

After the subordinate walked away, Yuan Qu, who seemed calm and composed, ran towards the distance like a panicked dog, staggering, in the direction of packing his valuables.

Clearly not very brave, yet insisting on doing this kind of thing, it was incomprehensible.

......

......

In the unknown mountains and forests, Wang Yu carried the unconscious Wang Wu, using the Thousand Mile Divine Travel, and headed all the way towards the direction of Black Mountain Pass.

He was not familiar with the terrain of the Taihu Spirit Domain, but he knew the direction of Black Mountain Pass. Using this as a landmark, to the north was the Withered Leaf Swamp, and to the south was the Black Mountain Demon Land.

These two areas both had Core Formation Stage Monster Beasts occupying territory as kings, and there was more than one.

According to his plan, he would not be able to Return to the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect in the short term, and had prepared to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment in the Taihu Spirit Domain. Resources were all prepared, Wang Wu was also in hand, only waiting for the Secret Method to reach Perfection.

When that time came, after successfully breaking through, he would directly cross one of these two dangerous places. After returning to the Sect, he would then plan for further matters.

What he needed to do now was to set up a Temporary Immortal's Cave that was hidden enough, and quietly wait for the day of success.

Compared to the harsh environment of the swamp, the Black Mountain Demon Land was a primitive landform composed of mountains, full of Spiritual Qi, and possessed multiple Third Grade Spirit Veins. The derived Second Stage and First Stage Spirit Veins were also numerous.

His Cultivation, except when breaking through Cultivation Realm, had almost no requirements for the environment.

As long as he found a suitable location on the periphery, he could live in seclusion.

Furthermore, the six members of the Slave Hunting Team, carrying a Secret Mission, had gone north and disappeared, and had not returned to this day. His going south was also deliberately avoiding them.

In case they met, it would be difficult to explain. No matter how you looked at it, his choice was quite reasonable.

Traveling like this all the way, he did not encounter any accidents.

It took Wang Yu a little over half a month to barely arrive at his destination. Wang Wu woke up several times in the middle, but Wang Yu forcefully knocked him unconscious with a slap. Now his entire face was swollen and unsightly.

His neck was also drooping, giving off a sense of misplaced spine beauty.

The appearance of the Black Mountain Demon Land was different from the Mysterious Bone Mountain and Spider Mountain he had seen before. The land was fertile, Spiritual Qi was abundant, and the air was filled with natural fragrance everywhere.

Towering Ancient Trees hundreds of meters tall were everywhere, vegetation was lush and vibrant. Even the Thatch Grass on the Ground was ten feet tall. When a person fell into it, it was as if they had become invisible.

Only Cultivators would come to this kind of place, either to hunt Monster Beasts, or to search for Spirit Medicine and Rare Treasures. Because these two territories were close to Black Mountain Pass.

Normal Taihu Spirit Domain Cultivators would generally settle in Black Bear City near Black Mountain Pass, and use this place as a center to move around in the surrounding area.

Wang Yu had No Identity, so it was not good to approach rashly. After all, he did not even know the common sense of the Cultivation world on the Taihu Spirit Domain side, so it was better to stay far away.

"It's here."

After entering the Black Mountain Demon Land range, Wang Yu did not continue to fly in the air on the Blue Butterfly Sword, but landed on the Ground and began to travel through the forest.

As he continued to go deeper, when he occasionally encountered Second Stage Monster Beasts, he used the Invisibility Technique obtained from the Hidden Dragon Treasure Bone to bypass them from the edge.

From the outermost few mountain peaks, he went deep into the edge of the inner area, stopping when he was about to enter.

According to his Character, being prepared for unforeseen circumstances was the norm.

The Map he had collected in the Narrative Pavilion for a period of time originally played a certain role. Although there was No Map of the Taihu Spirit Domain, the Black Mountain Demon Land also bordered the Crimson Kite Demon Domain.

Both belonged to one of the exploration locations for Cultivators from both sides, equivalent to the daily exploration area for both sides.

Some rough or incomplete Maps still existed.

After carefully identifying it, Wang Yu walked a few miles to the right, and a Cleft Cliff like a knife-cut axe-split came into view. The exaggerated crack in the center was extremely eye-catching.

This was the result of natural evolution.

Seeing the Cleft Cliff, Wang Yu finally felt a bit more at ease. Entering from below, and continuously advancing along the narrow path, turning three corners, and then walking dozens of steps again, it suddenly opened up.

There was a whole different world inside!

This was a refuge discovered by a Demon Sect disciple three hundred years ago. At that time, the Demon Sect invaded the Taihu Spirit Domain, looted for a while, and when they were returning with their Spoils of War, they encountered an ambush by Righteous Path Cultivators.

Being outnumbered, they scattered and fled into the Black Mountain Demon Land to survive.

Thus, they discovered such a place.

This was the information Wang Yu found in the Cultivator biography in the Narrative Pavilion. The protagonist of the biography was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had already passed away.

Therefore, this place was considered safe.
