Chapter 417: Too Much Like That Person
Rolling black night, dark mountains and forests.
The cold wind poured back from the mountain ditch, lifting a burst of dust and sand, and blowing open a thick smell of blood.
By the murmuring river, the pink river water kept fading as it was diluted while flowing east, but before long, the upstream river section seemed to have been added with new dye, making the clear water flow even more water-red.
At this time, the surviving noble family members were fighting together.
Especially those few elders of the family, almost squeezed dry their spiritual essence, released their life-saving means, and finally beheaded the Remnant Race members who were rushing over in the mountains and forests and river valleys.
And when the last one in front of them died, their faces became even paler due to exhaustion.
But they didn't rush to adjust their breath, but turned their heads to look at the opposite bank of the river.
At this time, a bright sword Qi descended from the sky, like a moon wheel blooming in the sky, rushing into the sky.
Puchi!!!
A Remnant Race member with blood-red eyes was directly cut off his neck, and as his head slid down, his body also fell into the river with a bang.
In sight, the plain-looking young man also beheaded the last Remnant Race soldier.
According to the number, the number he killed alone had already exceeded the total killed by everyone working together.
Huchi huchi——
Everyone was panting, gazing, and didn't speak for a long time.
Because until now they hadn't deduced the other party's identity, plus the stimulation received tonight was too strong, their brains were still in a chaos, so naturally they didn't know what to say.
The most critical thing is that after seeing his sword killing the Remnant Race vanguard, they all had some awe in their hearts, and it was natural not to dare to speak easily.
At this time, Ji You landed and returned his sword, turning his head to look at them.
Although he knew the general situation of Qingyun from the old doctor and Chen Fuzi, there were many specific things he didn't know, so he had many questions.
"May I ask everyone, how is the situation in Qingyun now?"
Gong Buyi was gazing at him, and upon hearing this, he immediately arched his hands: "Returning to the young master, five of the Nine States of Qingyun have been occupied by the Remnant Race, and our human race only has four states left, and looking at the situation tonight, Qingzhou will also be slaughtered soon."
Ji You felt his heartstrings tighten upon hearing that five major states had fallen: "Then where did the people of the five states of Qingyun go?"
"Those who could escape fled to the three southern states, the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan and the Chen family were like this, and even the Demon Race was like this. As for those who couldn't escape, cultivators were used as blood food, and mortals were treated as slaves." Gong Buyi answered truthfully.
The Remnant Race revived too quickly, and the slaughter came too fast. Qingyun is almost in a mess now, and the circulation of news is slow.
So although Ji You acted as if he knew nothing, it wasn't strange in Gong Buyi's eyes. At most, he would feel that he was practicing in seclusion and didn't know about world affairs in time.
"Such a big disaster, didn't the wielders of the Immortal Sects take action?"
"Returning to the young master, the Remnant Race revived too suddenly, most people didn't have time to react, such as the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan and the Chen family, they also chose to send their disciples south first."
"What about the Pill Sect? Didn't they repair the cracks in the Holy Land of the Sages?"
"After the evil thoughts of the Remnant Race imperial family rushed out of the Holy Land, the Pill Sect immediately followed the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan and those guarding the Holy Land of the Sages to Lingzhou."
Hearing this sentence, Ji You remained calm on the surface, but he felt slightly relieved in his heart.
Because he didn't hear any bad news about the wielders, and heard that the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan protected everyone and went to Lingzhou, then Cao Jiaoxi and Kuangcheng and the others should be fine, and with the arrogant ghost there, she shouldn't let Yuan Caiwei and Yuanchen have any trouble, after all, she is the older sister.
"Young master, this is not a place to talk, let's set off south first and find a safe place."
Gong Buyi suddenly spoke, suggesting that everyone should evacuate quickly.
Ji You shook his head upon hearing this: "You guys go first, remember to be careful on the road."
"Young master is not leaving?"
"I have something to do here."
Ji You raised his head and looked at the rolling black night.
After sleeping for a long time, he truly missed everyone, especially Yan Shuyi and Yuan Caiwei, but the top priority now is not children's love, but to quickly raise his realm and take back his physical body as soon as possible.
After the first exchange with the Remnant Race, he was actually extremely surprised, because at the same realm, the Remnant Race was much stronger than the human race. Just that vanguard officer was so difficult to deal with, he didn't dare to imagine how powerful those at higher levels would be.
So he wanted to go to the place where the night was most surging, to observe the Dao.
On the other hand, the old doctor warned him that he must not be too close to his physical body before reaching a sufficient realm, otherwise he would be soul-locked again.
Chen Fuzi said he had secretly attended his funeral, and also said his physical body was not buried in Fengzhou, but was brought back to Spirit Sword Mountain by the arrogant ghost.
This girl always calls him a strange man, only calling him husband when they are doing it, but she couldn't bear to leave his corpse in another place. But at the same time, this also led to the fact that he couldn't get too close to Spirit Sword Mountain with his current cultivation.
To sum up, staying here is the best choice, so he chose not to leave.
A Lian family elder heard that he was not leaving, so he couldn't help but arch his hands: "Today's disaster, we were trapped in a dead end, fortunately helped by the young master to escape, since the young master is not returning with us, I don't know if we can know the young master's name, if there is a chance in the future, we will definitely thank you heavily."
Hearing this, everyone around couldn't help but gaze over, even Gong Ning, who was throwing herself on her father's corpse, glanced at him with teary eyes.
Because they were all very curious about where this young and powerful existence came from.
Ji You shook his head after hearing this and didn't answer this question.
The fact that he is still alive should be an incomparably shocking piece of news for many people. If they really spread it, he believes the arrogant ghost will definitely come to find him, and Cao Jiaoxi and the others too, but it is too dangerous under the night, he must stay here, and this is of no benefit to them.
The Lian family elder opened his mouth upon seeing this: "Since this is the case, we won't ask anymore, but we still have to thank the young master for his righteous help."
Gong Buyi also arched his hands at this time: "This place is full of dangers, and Remnant Race members often appear, please be careful, young master."
"Thanks for the reminder." Ji You said and looked at the long sword in his hand: "I didn't bring any weapons when I came out, this sword, consider it the reward for saving you."
Gong Buyi knew it was his granddaughter's sword, nodded after hearing this: "It's not a good sword either, young master can take it. We have to bury our relatives first, so we will say goodbye."
"Be careful on the road, I will take a step first."
"Young master, good luck."
Ji You nodded, then turned and stepped, flying into the rolling night.
Looking from a high place to a low place, he couldn't help but click his tongue, because this was the first time he had directly seen how badly Qingyun had been destroyed.
Not to mention the cities, even many mountain peaks had collapsed, and there were countless corpses of cultivators here, covered with traces of being bitten, which looked shocking.
Before long, he arrived at the Great Wilderness Forest at the junction with Liangzhou, so he fell into the dense fog of the ten thousand acres of forest.
More than two years ago, he had come here once because of the ruins' Dao fruit, and knew that this place was extremely secret and suitable for hiding, and this place was also a place where the night was relatively surging, suitable for observing the Dao.
Ji You looked around in the forest, cut off countless branches with his sword, arranged them in an array, hid the aura around him, and then found an open space piled with withered leaves and sat down.
Eyes closed, hands naturally hanging down to hold the origin.
In an instant, his spiritual thoughts began to head towards the rolling black night, and the endless laws of the Heavenly Dao began to pour into his brain.
Just as the old doctor said, although the Remnant Race Heavenly Dao no longer had a will, the Heavenly Dao laws were abnormally surging, like a scroll slowly unfolding in front of him.
Mysterious light began to burst out all over his body, and there were thousands of colors above his crown.
At the same time, in the mountains, forests, and river valleys, with the completion of several grave mounds, those surviving noble family members also quickly embarked on the journey south.
However, throughout this journey, many people were still speculating about the identity of that plain-looking young man.
Especially his sword Dao seemed to be of the same origin as Spirit Sword Mountain, which made people feel even more imaginative.
In fact, when he used his sword to kill the Remnant Race vanguard, they vaguely felt that he was extremely like someone, but if it was about where he was unlike, he was completely unlike that person, but that person was already dead, which was the thing that made them feel they had no clues.
After three days and nights, these people finally arrived at Yipin City in Lingzhou on the morning of the fourth day.
Although the sky here had not been completely eroded by the night, due to the influence of all directions, this place was still dim, but even so, they still showed a trace of celebration for surviving a disaster.
But just as they walked in front of the city wall, their eyebrows were aimed at by a magic arrow overflowing with spiritual energy.
On the city wall, the cultivator responsible for rotating the sentry pulled the bowstring full, and looked at Gong Buyi and the others under the city wall with full vigilance.
