Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

Chapter 293 Fengze County, Yindu Sect

There is only one jade slip left.

Duan Haishan and others couldn't help but look at Ning Yan.

Ning Yan took a deep breath and walked closer.

The first two jade slips contain magical techniques.

Normally, everyone would think that the third piece is also of the same inheritance.

But Ning Yan had a vague feeling that the jade slip probably did not contain any martial arts techniques.

Instead, Guan Dingbao was preparing to tell future generations some things.

The reason was very simple. He did not see any instructions in the first two jade slips.

This is not in line with the practices left by our predecessors.

And when he touched the jade slip, Ning Yan immediately knew that his guess should come true.

This jade slip did not put him through as rigorous a test as the previous two.

It feels like a locked door that requires a special key to open it.

And the so-called key was exactly the species of beast he had received in the second jade slip.

As soon as he touched the jade slip, the beast species in his consciousness space immediately became active and emitted bright light.

As the light appeared, the jade slip was like a layer of frost being peeled off, and the contents inside were immediately revealed.

After reading the contents, Ning Yan's eyes were slightly surprised at first, and then they became solemn again.

"You all can take a look at it, too."

Ning Yan handed the jade slip out.

Noticing that his tone was different, Ji Dinghuang took the jade slip and began to investigate curiously, then his face darkened slightly.

The same was true for the others, some even looked much uglier than him.

Just as he guessed, the third jade slip did not record any martial arts techniques or magic skills, only some simple messages from Guan Dingbao.

In the message, he said that the sect would soon be opening the remains of the immortal tomb, because many strange things had happened during the discovery of the remains. Although the sect had made sufficient preparations, he was still worried that some unexpected events might occur in the middle.

For this purpose, he specially left the two secret skills that he was proud of here to prevent them from being lost.

In addition, he also warned in the message that if any problems really occurred during the opening process, resulting in irreversible consequences, people below the fourth level must stay away from this place to avoid unexpected events.

The surrounding residents and even cities must migrate at least a thousand miles away, otherwise there may be a catastrophic disaster in the future.

Seeing the repeated warnings, people can't help but feel frightened.

But what would happen even if they left here?

Fulong City is located near the ruins. They can leave, but how can the people in the city, including their disciples, be evacuated so easily?
This is the reason why everyone is so depressed.

After a long silence, Duan Haishan suddenly spoke up:

"According to the clues we have collected along the way, combined with the many historical books and information we have plundered, there is no doubt that in the core area of ​​the Shinra ruins, there must be unimaginable horrific dangers.

Under normal circumstances, we should find ways to avoid it, stop there and protect ourselves.

But we can avoid it, but Fulong City cannot.

According to the beast master, don't take any chances and stay thousands of miles away from here. Otherwise, even if the crisis here doesn't break out for the time being, it's just accumulating strength in secret. Once it really breaks out, the surrounding creatures will have no chance of survival.

So I decided—"

"Wait a moment!"

Qi Ruyue suddenly interrupted:

"Since the danger of the Shinra ruins has been confirmed, why don't we find a way to migrate and evacuate all the people in Fulong?"

The people around were slightly startled when they heard this.

Ji Dinghuang said with a strange look:

“There are countless evil spirits and monsters in the wilderness. I don’t know how many people will die during the evacuation. And the most important thing is that the surrounding cities are basically within a thousand miles of the Shinra ruins. Several small cities in remote areas cannot accommodate so many people from Fulong.

Not to mention that there are so many county towns outside of Fulong, where can you find a large city with intact town stones that can accommodate so many people?"

Qi Ruyue slowly uttered a word:
"Fengze."

Fengze?

Hearing this place name, Ji Dinghuang and others' faces suddenly became a little strange.

Ning Yan pondered the name secretly, and suddenly remembered that he actually had an impression of this place.

It is rumored that a certain general from the Jiwu Xingchen Sect once lived in seclusion there. Later, a messenger from the Blood God Cult tried to sacrifice the entire city with blood to practice his skills, but was killed by the other side. However, under the subsequent pressure from the Blood God Cult, he ultimately failed to save Fengze County, and millions of people in the county all became dead souls.

In other words, Fengze County has long been a deserted ghost town.

However, these are all historical records. As for the present, there should still be some people in Fengze County.

Of course, it is impossible that they are the descendants of those who died back then. In fact, among that group of dead, only a very small number were able to escape early. After all, the Wilderness is extremely dangerous.

And after the city was destroyed, it would be even more impossible for them to go back, because the town's protective stone in Fengze County had also been destroyed. That place was no different from a wilderness, and there was no way to guarantee their personal safety.

The reason why some people stay there are basically thieves, criminals, evil practitioners, etc.

In order to avoid their enemies or to practice evil skills, these people often hid in the wilderness.

But the wilderness is dangerous after all. Even in a familiar place, no one can predict whether a monster will appear in the next second.

In addition, even evil cultivators also have the need to communicate.

At the beginning, the ruins of Fengze County appeared as a black market trading point, where people of unknown origins from all over the world exchanged information, skills and equipment, etc.

Because of the special nature of this place, entering it will often encounter unknown interference, various search methods will be ineffective, and it will be difficult to find traces of passers-by.

As time goes by, the Fengze ruins become more and more famous.

Eventually, some evil practitioners began to gather people and form gangs in an attempt to occupy territory.

There were obviously many people who had similar ideas after fierce fighting and bloody battles.

In the end, it was not any gang that occupied the entire Fengze ruins, but the Yindu Sect that suddenly appeared halfway.

No one knows where the Yindu Sect came from.

Although they are few in number, each of them is an elite, and the weakest has the strength to be a powerful warrior.

As for the two deputy leaders who often travel outside, they are both at the peak of Hua Jin.

There have been rumors that their leader, who has never appeared, may have already entered the third realm. It was precisely because of the strength and mystery of the Yindu Sect that after they occupied the Fengze Ruins, no one challenged them anymore.

What is a little strange is that the Yindu Sect did not want to take firm control of the entire Fengze ruins as outsiders thought.

They only appeared in the deep fog of the ruins, had no idea about the large areas outside, and had no plans to establish any trading markets.

In the end, the defeated gangs and strong men occupied the periphery, and they didn't say anything.

So until now, the Fengze ruins have become a mixed place occupied by several major evil organizations, led by the Yindu Sect.

The reason why Ning Yan knew so much was, firstly, because when he was investigating the Jiwu Xingchen Sect, he also found some relevant information. As for the second and more important point, it was because the Fengze Ruins and Fulong City were separated by the Thousand Blade Mountains. The straight-line distance between the two was probably less than two hundred kilometers, which could be said to be extremely close.

However, due to the dangerous nature of the Thousand Blade Mountains, traveling between the two places is not easy. Even if you have a strong force, it is possible that you will suddenly disappear without a trace along the way.

The trade routes built by major organizations including Wanfa Pavilion and Tianxiahui all deliberately bypass the Thousand Blade Mountains to ensure safety.

This time, Qi Ruyue actually proposed to move to the Fengze ruins. Obviously, this is not an easy thing to do.

As if aware of everyone's doubts, Qi Ruyue did not delay and immediately spoke out:
"Everyone, I am not giving this example randomly. Fengze is indeed a very suitable place for us to migrate."

“First of all, it is very close to us. Even if we cannot pass through the mountains, we can take a detour along the trade route, which is only 400 kilometers at most. Moreover, most of this trade route is on the main trade route leading to the capital city, so it is safe and the probability of encountering monsters or even evil spirits on the road is relatively low.

Secondly, although Fengze County was destroyed by the Blood God Cult, its Suppressing Stone was not completely destroyed and still retains some protective function. This is one of the reasons why many evil cultivators gather there. As long as we find enough materials, we may be able to repair the Suppressing Stone.

Finally, the size of Fengze County is roughly equivalent to that of four or five Fulongs. Before the catastrophe of the Blood God Cult, Fengze was the commercial center of our area. Therefore, even if we bring all the people from the surrounding counties there, we can barely handle it."

"I understand your reasons, but you didn't mention the danger at all."

He Qianyan said in a solemn tone:

"Just the few notorious evil organizations stationed outside Fengze, each of them has several Si Jin masters in charge, not to mention the extremely mysterious Yindu Sect, which has as many as five Hua Jin masters revealed in public.

If the Dragon Slaying Sword Saint had not given them a warning back then, do you think Fulong and the surrounding counties would still be as peaceful and stable as they are now?

Now, the Dragon Slayer Sword Saint has been dead for a long time. With the remaining power and backhands, we can barely suppress them. It would be fine if they didn't come, but now you want to attack us. Why do you think we can beat them?"

"Is it not possible to get the spiritual weapon and magic?"

Qi Ruyue asked back in a deep voice.

He Qianyan sneered:

"I admit that spiritual weapons and magic have indeed made us much stronger, but don't think that those guys don't have any trump cards, especially the Yindu Sect. The Dragon Slaying Sword Saint has always hated evil, but the Yindu Sect is still alive and well, proving that they should not be underestimated.

If you ask me, before entering the third realm, no matter how many spiritual weapons you master, you are just going to die. "

"Actually, I agree more with Lao Qi's opinion."

Ji Dinghuang suddenly spoke at this time.

Seeing He Qianyan preparing to refute, he quickly waved his hand and continued:
“I don’t mean that we can defeat Yindu Cult, but we should be prepared.

You were right before. The backup plan left by the Dragon Slayer Sword Saint can no longer completely suppress them.

In fact, in recent years, we have discovered the whereabouts of Yindu Cult several times in the ruins of Shinra.

It can be seen that they are secretly coveting this place.

The reason why he didn't act openly was probably because he was afraid of the Dragon Slaying Sword Saint, and secondly, he was not ready yet.

Once they are fully prepared, we cannot rule out a thunderous invasion.

So we have to take the initiative, or at least have a plan in place to deal with it."

Hearing this, He Qianyan's brows immediately furrowed.

He wanted to refute, but he also knew that what Ji Dinghuang said was indeed reasonable.

Because Qianyan Sect had also discovered the whereabouts of Yindu Sect.

Although they mainly appear in the Shinra ruins, it is not ruled out that they will target the closest Fulong.

No one can predict the thoughts of evil practitioners.

We cannot rely on other people's sense of morality for our own safety, especially when their sense of morality is already very low.

There was silence here, and then Duan Haishan slowly spoke:
“Whether it is to relocate the people or to make the Yindu Cult our enemy, it is all of great importance and requires long-term consideration.

Although there is a horrific crisis deep within the Shinra ruins right now, there is no need to rush.

Even if what the Beast Master said makes sense, it was a prophecy made hundreds of years ago.

During such a long period of time, anything could happen in the ruins.

Thinking optimistically, maybe we don't need to migrate at all.

Of course, we must think positively, but we must also prepare for the worst.

We can discuss Lao Qi's suggestion later. In my opinion, the most important thing right now is to investigate inside.

We must understand the exact situation inside, such as whether there really is some kind of terrorist crisis. If so, what is its true nature, is there any way to deal with it, and if there is no way to deal with it, how long will it take for it to break out, and so on.

We need to grasp as much of this information as possible so that we can make reasonable judgments and minimize losses."

Having said this, he paused, then looked at everyone on the field:

“Everyone, just like what Master Guan said, it’s very dangerous to go further in. Even if you are at the third level, you may not be able to survive.

But as the leader of the Jianji Sect and the defender of Fulong City, I uphold the ideals of my predecessors and it is my duty to protect the city.

To do this, I need to explore deeper and at least find some intelligence.

You all should stop here. If something happens to me alone, it will be fine. The Jianji Sect will always have successors.

But if something happens to everyone present, Fulong will be in chaos."

Facing Duan Haishan's serious reminder, He Qianyan suddenly laughed:
"Do you think you are the only one who can arrange the funeral? I am so old, can't I be more reliable than you in arranging the funeral?"

Qi Ruyue said in a deep voice:

"My sect is also not indispensable to me."

"Alas, although our Liushui Sect has fallen into decline, the skills that Brother Ning sent me, including the resources we have gained during this period of time, are far more important than me as a sect leader. Even without me in the future, Liushui Sect will still be able to pass on its legacy."

Seeing Ji Dinghuang's look, as if he was going to persuade him, Ning Yan shrugged and said:
"I've always been very curious. Now that the mystery is almost solved, I can't leave even if you ask me to."

Duan Haishan looked around and saw that everyone had firm expressions. He sighed and said:
"Forget it. Since you have all made up your mind, I won't be hypocritical. Let's all try to get everyone in and everyone out."

"must!"

As soon as the words fell, the cave suddenly shook.
