Chapter 282 Qingming Mountain Forbidden Land

According to the news from the front, the place where the arrow landed has been confirmed.

It's in that forbidden area.

This means that Lord Zhuo Ling has already entered the forbidden area.

This forbidden area exists in Dongshan Prefecture. Over the years, Dongshan Prefecture has attempted to explore it, but has failed many times and has basically been wiped out.

Only a few survived and returned.

Among those who escaped, the only one still alive is the deputy commander of the Dongshan Prefecture's Tianshi Division.

He was of solid build, with thick black hair all over his body.

Covered in blood, he looked like a bloodthirsty beast.

Just now he tore a man to pieces and drank his blood in big gulps.

At this moment, everyone looked at him with complicated expressions.

Is this really a human being?
"The man just now was a member of the Jie Jin group of Dongshan Prefecture. Although his cultivation was not high, he was very intelligent and had ruined many things. Many of my Zhaoye people were discovered by him and died without a burial place."

The deputy commander laughed and explained, "I hate him to the core. I want to eat his flesh and drink his blood. I finally ran into him this time, so I can fulfill my wish."

He stretched out his palm as big as a palm fan and wiped the blood off his face.

The bloodstains became bigger and more hideous the more they were wiped.

He laughed and said, "I have always had murderous intent, and now that I am about to die, I won't hide it. Just eat it..."

"..."

Everyone was silent.

Looking at the scene just now, no matter who it is, they would think that it was the evil spirits that were devouring the human race.

Even if they knew that he was the deputy commander of the Tianjian Division, they would still conclude that this man had lost control and started eating people.

If the Lord of Dongshan Mansion had not been here, a fight might have broken out just now.

In fact, this deputy commander seemed to have wanted to die before.

The Lord of Dongshan Mansion noticed that Lin Yan was drawing his bow and arrow, but he did not say anything to stop him. Instead, he hesitated... whether to let the deputy commander die here and be freed early.

But in the end, they chose to ask the deputy commander to lead the way.

Even if I have to die, I should die in the forbidden area and use my last bit of strength for the human race.

-

The Dafeng Mountains stretch out in a long line.

The mountain where the forbidden area is located is called Qingming Mountain.

"This forbidden area seems to be a little far from the large habitats of the human race." Master Fu Zhong frowned slightly and whispered, "Logically speaking, it should not pose the most direct threat to the cities, blessed lands, large clean lands and other areas within Dongshan Prefecture... For such remote forbidden areas, they are usually avoided. Why did the deputy commander suffer serious injuries while exploring the forbidden area?"

"..."

The deputy commander laughed and said, "Mr. Fu was born in the Holy Land, and the others are from Qifeng Mansion. They are all powerful and well-informed..."

He looked at Lin Yan and the others and said, "But even if Fifth Master is familiar with all the information in Qifeng Mansion, he must be unfamiliar with it when he comes to Dongshan Mansion."

Lin Yan was riding on the dragon-scale horse, recuperating and gathering his strength, and had no intention of saying much.

But when he heard the other party mention him, he opened his eyes, and looked at the deputy commander who was covered in blood. It was clear that he was on the verge of losing control, but he was still strong and calm, pretending to be free and easy.

Lin Yan was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Before coming here, I checked the intelligence of Dongshan Prefecture, but I only knew the general situation... It is impossible for me to know every detail of every city, every blessed land, and every pure land."

He said this, and then said: "There is more than one forbidden area in Dongshan Prefecture, especially here, which is far away from other cities and was directly overlooked in the intelligence."

Imagine if an outsider entered Qifeng Prefecture, just taking Gaoliu City as an example, the various forces within it were extremely complicated and intricate.

As someone outside Dongshan Prefecture, it was naturally impossible for Lin Yan to fully understand the entire Dongshan Prefecture by just reading a piece of information.

"This Dafeng Mountain Range is indeed very far away from where the human race lives."

The deputy commander said: "And the Qingming Mountain forbidden area in the middle is located in the middle of the Dafeng Mountain Range. On the surface, it does not pose a direct threat to the habitat of the human race."

"But in the past sixty years, there have been many unusual movements in the forbidden area of ​​Qingming Mountain."

"Every time there is an abnormal movement, the changes in the forbidden area will not directly threaten the human race on the surface."

"But changes in the forbidden area will cause unrest in the entire Dafeng Mountains, with monsters fleeing and evil spirits staying away."

"The evil spirits that escaped from the Dafeng Mountains are disrupting the situation of this strange night and are even more unscrupulous."

"Some powerful demons cannot even be driven away by incense. They insist on devouring humans and even intimidate roaming demons to attack the habitats of humans!"

"Every time there is a change in the forbidden land, the two relatively close cities and a large clean land outside the Dafeng Mountains will experience turmoil and suffer heavy casualties."

"Therefore, in recent years, my Dongshan Prefecture has explored the forbidden area more than 20 times, but all ended in failure."

The deputy commander's expression became increasingly complicated, and he whispered, "I was only outside the forbidden area at the time, but from all sorts of clues, I can see that there are quite a few extremely powerful demons sleeping in the forbidden area. As the forbidden area changes, there are signs that they are awakening."

He said in a low voice: "Once awakened, the entire Dongshan Prefecture will surely turn into a living hell!"

The atmosphere in the field was silent for a moment.

Mr. Lu didn't say anything.

Lin Yan's gaze turned to the Lord of Dongshan Mansion.

"I am keeping my life because I am planning to explore the forbidden area for Dongshan Prefecture once more. It would be best if it can be sealed off to prevent Dongshan Prefecture from becoming a purgatory."

The Lord of Dongshan Mansion had a normal expression on his face and said, "This time, I have been ordered to search for Lord Zhuo Ling for you."

"If Lord Zhuo Ling is not in the forbidden area, then I will take you to where Lord Zhuo Ling is, but I will not help you."

"Because my life must remain in the forbidden area."

"Since Lord Zhuo Ling is currently in the forbidden area, it will save us some trouble."

"I must enter the forbidden area and try to block it!"

"As for you all, you are here for Lord Zhuo Ling. Whether or not you want to enter the forbidden area is entirely up to your own decision!"

The Lord of Dongshan Mansion put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Among you, there are newly promoted soul refiners, the most outstanding people of the contemporary era, and disciples of the holy land... If something happens in the forbidden land, I cannot bear the responsibility."

When Fu Zhong heard this, his expression changed for a moment, but he did not speak.

Mr. Lu's eyes fell on Lin Yan and he said, "What do you think?"

-

Outside the forbidden area of ​​Qingming Mountain.

Many human races have gathered here.

The one with the highest level of cultivation has reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.

Those with the lowest level of cultivation are only at the second level of martial arts, the level of refining blood and cleansing marrow.

They all followed the orders of the Lord of Dongshan Mansion and the Heavenly Supervisor to track the whereabouts of Lord Zhuo Ling, or to gather here along the trajectory of Lin Yan's arrow.

Among them were elite troops from various cities, members of the Heavenly Monitoring Department, and many from Zhaoye.

Especially among the Zhaoye people, their cultivation may not be very high, but they must have a unique skill that is unmatched by ordinary people. For example, the young man who used the method of skinning to transform into a monster and disguised himself as a bear monster, if he had not been so unlucky, he would have become one of the people present.

"Legend has it that the evil spirit is the remnant of a god that escaped from Qifeng Mansion three thousand years ago."

"I didn't expect that he would hide in this forbidden area?"

"How did He get into the forbidden area?"

"There's no need to be too surprised. After all, he is a god from three thousand years ago!"

"This forbidden area has been experiencing frequent changes. We can take this opportunity to follow the path of the spirit's remnant and explore it thoroughly, so as to avoid an outbreak in the future that would bring disaster to future generations."

Among all the people present, those with higher cultivation levels have gathered together to communicate with each other.

There were more than a hundred people present, all of whom looked exhausted and had obviously just arrived today.

Just as everyone was exchanging information, preparing to make plans and explore the forbidden area...

A group of people are coming slowly in front.

"Meet the Palace Master!"

"Meet the Deputy Commander!"

When everyone present saw the two people in front of them, they were overjoyed and greeted them one after another.

Lin Yan rode on the dragon-scale horse and looked at the hundred people in front of him, frowning slightly.

On the way, he heard the conversation between the deputy commander and the Lord of Dongshan Mansion.

This time, Dongshan Prefecture sent out nearly two hundred people to search for Zhuo Linggong.

Judging from the remaining traces on these people, most of them had experienced a fight after entering the Dafeng Mountains.

There may be some on the way who have not yet arrived.

But there must be some who have died along the way.

According to a rough estimate, dozens of people from Dongshan Prefecture were killed just by reaching the gate of the Qingming Mountain forbidden area.

When Lin Yan's eyes swept over, everyone's eyes also turned to him.

When this Inspector Wuchang entered Dongshan Prefecture, some people had already received the news!
After Lin Yan used Lord Zhuo Ling's essence to shoot the arrow... the Lord of Dongshan Mansion ordered people from all parties to follow the arrow's trajectory!

And the news that the Fifth Master had arrived in Dongshan Prefecture was no longer a secret!
The contemporary number one prodigy in Qifeng Mansion!

It is even very likely that he is the strongest of the younger generation within the three prefectures!
As long as he doesn't die young and as long as he doesn't get out of control, he will definitely be a future leader of the human race!

According to the records of the Tianshi Division, this man was only in his twenties and had an outstanding military record!
"Is this Master Wu?"

At this moment, a warrior at the peak of the Refining Essence Realm stood up. He was about forty years old, and his eyes were full of scrutiny.

Some people were more well-informed and knew that Wuchang and his group had wiped out the Three Gods Valley.

But for some people, the news still remains at the time when Wuchang defeated Xu Dingye of the Little Divine Sect.

This warrior who was at the peak of the Refining Essence Realm was obviously the latter. He was eager to try it out and seemed to want to learn the methods of the new generation of geniuses of Qifeng Mansion.

He didn't think he could win, but he wanted to know how big the gap was.

"Commander Chengli, please step back. This Fifth Master is not someone you can compare to..."

At this time, an old man in the Qi Refining Realm stroked his beard and said, "I have heard about the Three Gods Valley. I feel honored to see you today!"

"Alright! Let's get down to business!"

The Lord of Dongshan Mansion waved his hand slightly and said, "What's going on in the forbidden area?"

The atmosphere in the field suddenly became quiet.

Then the old man at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, who had the highest cultivation level, said, "The first group of people who arrived were the elite from Guanhai City, from the city guards' central army, a total of more than twenty people."

"The leader disobeyed military orders and directly broke into the forbidden area, causing heavy casualties."

"From what we can see so far, the commander of the city guard's central army is from Jie Jin's group."

"The second group that came only had three people. They should be the Zhaoye people from the Sky Monitoring Division. They noticed something and chased after the Jie Jin rebels. But from the traces we observed, although the bodies of the three Zhaoye people were intact, they had already lost control of their minds."

"The third group was sent by me to explore the way. They entered the forbidden area an hour ago and sent back three pieces of news."

"But there has been no news in the past half hour, so there is reason to doubt..."

The old man was silent for a moment, then said, "Either they are all dead, or they are out of control."

The Lord of Dongshan Mansion was silent for a moment, then said, "Explore again!"

The old man at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm nodded slightly and said, "The person who was exploring the way earlier had a Qi Refining Realm leader. Now that he has failed, we need to replace him with a stronger person! I can do the job!"

The deputy commander's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Mr. Luo, you should help the Palace Master to make plans and command the overall situation..."

"If I hadn't been waiting for the Palace Master to come, I would have gone in just now."

Elder Luo waved his hand and said, "Although the situation in the forbidden area is stable at present, it still hides a huge hidden danger that threatens the entire Dongshan Prefecture. If we can't find out the truth... I won't be able to rest in peace even if I die!"

"I'll go with you!"

The deputy commander said in a deep voice: "I have escaped from it before, and I am more familiar with the road ahead than you."

"Alright."

The Lord of Dongshan Palace nodded slightly and said, "Each of you will take 20 people to explore the forbidden area in batches. Bring the talisman mirrors and send messages in time..."

Lin Yan dismounted and looked at the more than 40 people who led the team into the forbidden area, his eyes slightly fixed.

Going to the forbidden area and exploring the front is basically a life-threatening situation.

These people risked their lives to explore the way and reduce danger for those who came after them.

"Keep their suicide notes."

The Lord of Dongshan Mansion turned his head and looked at the Commander Chengli, saying, "Their compensation will be distributed immediately after we return, and their families will be treated well!"

Commander Cheng Li's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Master, why don't you find someone else to keep the will?"

At this time, the person who keeps the suicide note for everyone is usually the one who stays on the periphery and is preparing to go back.

The mansion lord had obviously chosen him as the survivor.

"Isn't it good to be alive?" Master Fu Zhong came forward and sighed.

"Of course it's better to be alive." Commander Cheng Li glanced at him and said, "Everyone wants to live, but how can we explore the forbidden area? If we don't explore the forbidden area, who can survive in the future? I am the commander of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion. Throughout the generations, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion... have never deserted in the face of battle!"

"Someone has already explored the forbidden area." Master Fu Zhong murmured.

"You don't think that the previous few groups of people can explore the forbidden area clearly, right?" Commander Cheng Li said slowly: "They are dead... but we don't know where they died. We need people to explore the place where they died!"

"Three people died on Luo Lao's side."

At this moment, the Lord of Dongshan Mansion sighed and said, "The deputy commander's path is correct... Elder Luo's path is a dead end!"

"wrong!"

Lin Yan suddenly thought of something and said, "The most dangerous road is the one that leads to the depths of the forbidden area!"
