Man is in the midst of the mysteries of the spirit, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

Anle spoke again: "Before that, I would like to ask you to do me a favor."

Everyone's heart was slightly moved, and they said solemnly: "Daozu, just give your orders."

Anle's eyes were burning, and with an unchangeable will, he said: "I want to unify Daxia."

Ji Xingyun, who was standing beside him, was shocked and asked in confusion, "Why did you do this, Senior?"

He could tell that Anle was definitely not joking, and based on the strength displayed by this group of cultivators, they did have the capital to unify the Great Xia Federation!

Anle didn't explain too much, just said: "It's just a request from an old friend."

Although the cultivators could not tell who the old friend he was talking about was, they all responded, "How dare we disobey the Dao Ancestor's order?"

Chen Jiannan looked relaxed and laughed heartily: "How difficult is this? I can probably sweep through these underground cities by myself."

What he said was not bragging. Looking at the apparent combat power of Tianxing City and Jinglei City, the highest-level cultivators were only at the level of Divine Transformation like Ji Xingyun. A Void Refining Cultivator could defeat them all.

Not to mention, after being baptized by the void, Chen Jiannan and his party’s strength increased greatly, so they naturally did not take the Great Xia Federation seriously.

Anle, however, looked serious and reminded: "Don't underestimate the enemy."

"Tianxing City is just a remote small town. In the Daxia Federation, there are still Void Refining cultivators who practice on this planet in the void. Their cultivation must be extremely profound."

After hearing this, everyone felt awe-inspiring and no longer looked down on him.

Ji Xingyun was worried, not knowing whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. But then he thought again, all the people from Jinglei City had already attacked the city. If he continued to defend himself, it would probably be a way to his death.

He sighed and said, "In that case, I have a map of an underground city-state from long ago. I hope you can take a look at it."

Anle took a quick glance and memorized the map in his mind.

At this moment, Ji Yutang volunteered: "I have been to Jinglei City. I will lead the way for you!"

Hong Yingxue asked curiously, "Didn't they say that the connections between the underground cities have been severed? How did you get to Jinglei City?"

Ji Xingyun explained: "Most of the passages between underground city-states have been closed, but there are still a few roads that can be used for travel. I used these small roads to travel to various city-states a few years ago."

Hearing this, Anle nodded: "Then follow me."

Afterwards, he left a few monks to guard Tianxing City and took the others to the nearest Jinglei City.

The group continued forward along the passage that had been dug out by the monks from Jinglei City.

Not long after, Ji Yutang said, "The Thunder City should be ahead."

"only……"

He frowned and smelled a strange smell in the air.

"It's the smell of blood!"

When Hong Yingxue smelled this scent, her face changed slightly, a hint of scarlet flashed across her eyes, and she murmured, "It also has a very strong demonic nature..."

After fusing some soul fragments, Hong Yingxue regained the ability of the Heavenly Demon Girl, and was able to sense the existence of demonic nature.

Anle's eyes flashed as he stepped to the end of the passage. His vision suddenly became clear, but the scene here surprised everyone.

All that was left in the underground space was a city ruin. The ground was cracked, houses had collapsed, and there were broken walls and ruins everywhere, with sporadic flames burning.

In the ruins, there were many charred corpses trapped under the collapsed buildings. Obviously, most of them died on the spot without realizing the disaster was coming.

"W-what's going on?"

Ji Yutang's expression suddenly changed, and he said in disbelief: "Thunder City was destroyed?"

You know, it’s been less than half a day since the monks from Jinglei City attacked Tianxing City, and in such a short period of time, the city has turned into such a ruin!

Soon, the gravekeeper made a discovery and said, "There are traces of a fight here!"

In a corner of the city ruins, there was a turbulence of magical power caused by the collision of magical powers, which had not yet dissipated. Deep cracks were faintly visible in the air, emitting a terrible aura.

Luo Luo frowned and said, "This is the power of the void. A Void Refining cultivator has taken action!"

Everyone originally suspected that it was the monks of Jinglei City who destroyed the town themselves and came out in full force to invade other cities, but the aura of the void showed that this did not seem to be the case.

Anle's spiritual consciousness swept across the ruins of Jinglei City and suddenly flew to a burning building. He waved his hand lightly, and the collapsed building collapsed to the surroundings, revealing a temporarily dug pit, from which a low cry came out.

"Wuwu...Mother..."

In the pit, the woman used her body to protect a petite girl, who was already dead.

But the girl in her arms survived and was sobbing softly.

The gravekeeper whispered, "She should be the only survivor of Thunder City."

Hong Yingxue walked to the edge of the pit and soothed her softly, "Don't be afraid, little sister. It's all right now."

There was a special magic in her voice that made the little girl feel inexplicably at peace, and the sadness and pain in her heart dissipated a little.

The demonic nature that the Heavenly Demon Girl can absorb includes not only murderous intent and desire, but also hatred and pain.

As they approached the ruins, Hong Yingxue began to absorb the remaining demonic energy, which caused her eyes to flash a hint of scarlet and her red clothes seemed to become even more vivid and attractive.

After a while, when the little girl stopped crying and gradually calmed down, Hong Yingxue asked softly, "What happened here?"

The little girl timidly grabbed the corner of Hong Yingxue's clothes and said in a trembling voice: "They, they broke into the city!"

"Then... the fire started... many people died..."

She pursed her lips and tears welled up in her eyes again. Hong Yingxue hurried forward and comforted her softly.

Before long, everyone got a general idea of ​​what had happened from the little girl's fragmented description.

As soon as the cultivators of Jinglei City returned to the city, a cultivator in strange clothes appeared out of thin air above the city. He led a group of cultivators to launch an attack, dug up the spiritual veins under the ground, took away the Primordial Liquid, and swept through every corner of the city like locusts. Then a terrible sea of ​​fire broke out and the whole city was destroyed.

Although some monks fought back to the death, they were no match for the leading monk. They either died on the spot or were abducted by the group.

Hong Yingxue asked: "Little sister, do you know who they are?"

The little girl bit her lip and said, "I only heard them mention... Sheng Cang, I don't know much about the rest."

Hearing this, Ji Yutang was shocked: "Shengcang? Could it be Shengcang City!"

"Yes, I heard before that Shengcang is constantly annexing other city-states, but has their scope already covered this place?"

Anle remembered the map he had just seen. There were several special city-states on it. They were the main cities in the Great Xia United City-States. Both their population and the combat power of their monks far exceeded that of a small city like Tianxing City. Judging from the distribution of the underground city-states, they were also in a more central location.

Shengcang City is one of them.

Ji Yutang muttered to himself in confusion: "But when did their methods become so cruel?"

"These are the people of an entire city..."

Ji Yutang had been to Shengcang City and was amazed by its prosperity. Although the people of Shengcang at that time also had a relatively radical mentality, all they wanted was to integrate the resources of other cities and build Shengcang City into a stronger one.

But this tragic situation before us shows that the monks of Shengcang City have embarked on the most extreme path, completely disregarding the lives of the lower-class civilians, and only concentrating resources in the hands of the strong, and then using the resources obtained to further foreign aggression.

"Something may have happened in Shengcang City, which led to a change in their style of doing things."

Ji Yutang suggested: "Senior, why don't we go to other nearby cities to have a look, maybe we can find some clues."

Anle looked at the remaining void cracks, and sensed some familiar auras in his consciousness. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said, "No need to be so troublesome."

He extended a finger toward the void crack.

The dark and mysterious void pattern spread from his fingertips like a butterfly with its wings spread, merging with the remaining cracks, with light and dark in an orderly manner, and it was extremely magical.

Tiny textures expanded and covered the depths of the void through the cracks, and instantly found the coordinates of their source.

Anle chuckled and said, "Found it."

He took a step forward, and the scene before everyone's eyes suddenly changed, and he appeared out of thin air in a deep passage.

In front of them was a group of monks whose bodies were covered in blood, counting the spoils in their hands. Not far away, several monks from Jinglei City were tied together like slaves, their faces gray and their eyes filled with despair.

Everyone was amazed. Although Anle had displayed many magical skills, they had never seen such a method before.

On the path of emptiness, the state of peace and happiness is beyond their understanding.

"who!?"

Seeing Anle and others suddenly appear, the monks were horrified and immediately became alert.

Anle looked at the little girl beside him and asked, "Are they the ones?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment, but soon pointed at a monk in a white robe and said, "It was him who set the fire!"

The white-robed monk stood up and sneered, "Are they the remnants of Jinglei City?"

"It seems that I was too lenient. I should banish all of you to the void."

Suddenly, the man in white robes looked at Hong Yingxue and asked in surprise, "Lady Saint, why are you here?"

Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar name, Hong Yingxue was stunned. She quickly thought of a possibility and couldn't help feeling a chill in her heart.

An Le remained calm and asked the people behind him, "Who among you wants to come this time?"

The gravekeeper volunteered, "Grandmaster, let me do it."

The man in white robe was shocked and angry. He realized that Anle was using him as a whetstone for these younger generations. Suddenly, a nameless anger surged in his heart: "Don't underestimate me!"

As soon as the words fell, strands of spiritual energy spurted out from around the white-robed man, forming bursts of neon lights, which were extremely gorgeous. Looking carefully, these neon lights were actually composed of extremely tiny flames one after another, or long Or short, big or small, arranged and combined in mysterious laws.

The flame burns into the air, blooming bright light, illuminating the dark underground space.

Late stage of virtual refining!

Sensing the aura released by the man in white robe, everyone was secretly shocked. Chen Jiannan, who had originally wanted to show off again, silently took two steps back, lowered his head and remained silent.

Although he has made rapid progress these days, he has only just broken through to the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm, and the gap in cultivation is huge.

The gravekeeper showed no fear and praised: "Your method was probably cultivated by observing the scorching sun disaster on the surface of the planet. It's quite good."

"It just so happens that I have recently comprehended a magical power, and I hope you will appreciate it!"

He said this not only to the white-robed monk, but also to Anle and others.

The gravekeeper was seen making seals with his hands, and the mysterious power of the void continuously surged in from all around, revealing dark and mysterious patterns that seemed to be connected to the void.

The white-robed man's expression changed slightly. He realized that the old man in the black robe was actually at the same level as him!

"Little tricks!"

Naturally, he would not wait for the gravekeeper to complete the seal, but would directly mobilize his magic power and unleash the power of the Flame Sun Taoism, transforming it into a gust of fierce hot wind, rushing towards the gravekeeper.

This hot wind has similar properties to the Yangyan Disaster on the surface. It can ignite everything, even the avenue!

Facing the hot wind, the gravekeeper remained calm. The seal in his hand emitted a deep black light. Many seemingly real and ambiguous Taoist patterns were reflected on his body, and actually formed the phantom of a Taoist tree!

This is a Dao tree made up of void Dao patterns!

Chen Jiannan stared at the scene blankly, muttering, "Is this old guy going to merge with the Dao?"

The other Void Refining cultivators were also shocked and felt it was a little unbelievable.

The hot wind from the scorching sun whistled past and landed on the Dao tree, but it had no effect, as if it was swallowed up by the lines leading to the void.

In terms of level, the Avenue of Void is even higher than the Avenue of Scorching Sun!

The man in white robe had a gloomy expression on his face, and there was a bright glow of light around him. Many tiny flames condensed into light wheels, spinning and flying towards him.

The gravekeeper cast another seal, and a Taoist flower blossomed on the Taoist tree. It seemed to fall lightly, but in fact it was as heavy as a thousand pounds, squeezing the space to cause it to crack continuously and crushing the light wheel.

But after the light faded, the people could no longer see the man in white robe.

In the void, the man in white robe fled quickly.

Half of the halo he just used to attack the gravekeeper, and the other half to cut through space and escape into the void.

His face was filled with fear and he thought to himself, "Who are they? It seems that every one of them has the cultivation level of the Void Refining Stage! I've never heard of such a group of people in the Great Xia Federation. And what about that fake Saintess?"

"I must rush back to Shengcang City as soon as possible to report to the City Lord and the Saint!"

At this moment, a faint voice sounded in his ears.

"You can't escape, you are a lackey of the gods."

Chapter 369 Another Me

When the man in white heard the voice, he was horrified and without hesitation, he exerted all his strength to escape into the air.

Only when the feeling of being on edge disappeared did he breathe a sigh of relief and wondered, "How did he lock onto me in mid-air?"

"Maybe... it's just a coincidence."

But soon, a cloud of gloom gradually enveloped the man in white robe.
