Chapter 425
The situation inside the formation is completely different from that outside the formation. Outside the formation, it looks like everything is calm, but within the formation, there is an air of oppression, as well as resentment and despair that seem to materialize.
I couldn't see it outside the formation before. It turns out that there is an island in the middle of the lake.
Many mortals gathered on the island. They didn't seem to be injured, but all of them looked extremely haggard, as if they hadn't slept for several days, their eyes were dull, and they almost lost the will to live.
Mortals were unarmed, and it was not these mortals who attacked Shen Hezhi and Da Fengniao, but another group of people.They used formations to avoid them, so that no one could see their figures. Shen Hezhi could only vaguely identify the opponent's position from the direction of the sound.
He turned his gaze to that direction, took out the pass order for entering and exiting the space curtain in his hand, and showed it to the other party.
Passing orders can travel through the space curtain, and similarly, after being activated, the space curtain can also respond.
The mortal world is surrounded by a space curtain, even if it is in another formation, the resonance between the space curtain and the pass order can be felt.
Passing orders are not rare, but not everyone can get them, at least those demons cannot have them, and demons do not use passing orders to enter and exit the mortal world.
Take out the disciple cards of Linggan Xianzong, these people may not be able to recognize them, but the space curtain can't be faked, on the contrary, it can better show your identity, not to mention that if it is a demon, the other party will not act like this.
Sure enough, after Shen Hezhi took out the pass order, the other party immediately understood what Shen Hezhi meant. After a burst of light and shadow fluctuations, someone came out from various directions such as midair and lake water, showing their figure.
Those who can use magic formations and walk in the air, these people are naturally cultivators, "I don't know if they are fellow Taoists of the Shangzong, but I was in a hurry earlier and offended them."
Shen Hezhi shook his head, "It's okay," he looked at the few practitioners who were faintly haggard, "Why are you here? What's going on with these mortals? What's the situation in the mortal world here?"
Shen Hezhi asked three questions in a row, but the person who spoke before was not confused, he was considered the chief among these people, he hadn't collapsed like some people, and he still maintained some sense.
The man organized a conversation, and said to Shen Hezhi, "We are the cultivators sent by the Hexiao Sect to station in the mortal world..."
The Hexiao Sect is a medium-sized sect directly under the mortal world. After the outbreak of the invasion of the mortal world by the demonic way, they were the first to be sent here by the sect to investigate.
The purpose is to understand the situation in the mortal world, and to solve those demons that invaded the mortal world.
At that time, this mortal world had indeed been invaded by the demonic way. Several tribes in the mortal world were enemies with each other. After the demonic way intervened, the friction between the several tribes intensified, and it was almost an endless situation.
He Xiaozong's intervention was quite timely, and the magic way hadn't had much impact on the mortal world. In addition, at that time, because of Lu'an and Shen He, the reason for the magic way to invade the mortal world was for the sake of luck. As far as I know, the cultivators who went to support him certainly knew what to do.
After finding a way to eliminate the evil ways here, these cultivators of the Hexiao Sect immediately aimed their targets at several tribes, those who had the qualifications, rights or prestige, and could "unify the world", and they were indeed found by them He found clues about the mixed blood of humans and demons.
Next, it is natural to find a way to prevent the human-devil hybrid from "unifying" the mortal world to obtain dragon energy, and also try to prevent meaningless fights between these tribes.
At the beginning, the cultivators of the Hexiao Sect did a good job, and the mortal world is indeed slowly improving, almost returning to the state when the magic way had not yet started to take trouble.
Lu'an and Shen Hezhi had come to this ordinary world before, because they saw that the cultivators here were coping well, and there was nothing that needed their help, so they didn't contact these cultivators, and left this place directly, and went to other places where they needed more help. their mundane world.
Who knows, not long after, this mortal world changed.
"During that time, for some reason, a steady stream of demons suddenly appeared." When the man mentioned this, his expression became even darker. "These demons kill people when they see them. There is no way for mortals to resist them. We will go to stop them. The strength is simply invincible.”
"We couldn't bear it any longer. We sent a signal to the cultivation world to ask for support, but the signal didn't seem to have been sent out at all. After losing several fellow disciples, we still haven't received any response."
The waiting time was too long, and the companions around him died one after another, and the people who were still alive became more and more disappointed.They understand that waiting for others to rescue them is tantamount to waiting for death. Instead of expecting to be rescued by others, it is better to rely on themselves.
Some of them happened to know some formations, and they still had some materials to make formations, so they arranged some such formations as hiding places to avoid the pursuit of those demons.
There is more than one such formation, and it is distributed all over the mortal world, all of which are used to protect mortals.
Hearing this, Da Fengniao asked suspiciously, "You can't get in touch with people in the cultivation world, why don't you leave the ordinary world? It's not about running away, but going directly to the cultivation world to call for support, so you don't have to worry about being intercepted Don’t tell me, those magic ways blocked the space curtain, so you can’t go out?”
The man shook his head, "Who knows?"
"We also sent someone to leave and went to the cultivation world to ask for support. But after that person left, I don't know if he escaped secretly and didn't go to report, or encountered some accident. In short, there is no news."
Shen Hezhi said, "I'm afraid it's not that the news has not been conveyed. The person who sent the news didn't have no bones left or fled the battle, but because at that time, the person you asked for help was too busy to take care of himself."
"What does it mean?"
"At that time, the evil way had invaded the cultivation world wantonly, and the entire cultivation world was in chaos. Countless sects had no time to protect themselves, let alone support the small ordinary world."
Even if they knew that the Demonic Dao was trying their best to invade the mortal world with other plans, even if they wanted to stop the various plots of the Demonic Dao, most sects already had more than enough energy, so how could they respond to their support?
How can these cultivators who have been trapped here know the situation outside?When they heard the news that the Demon Dao invaded the realm of comprehension on a large scale, their faces changed, "How dare the Demon Dao make such a big splash? How can those demon cultivators be able to shake the majestic realm of cultivation?"
In their impression, demon cultivators are just shadows living in the cracks of the realm of comprehension under the suppression of immortal cultivators. Although they have messed up the mundane world, it is also because mortals are too fragile to bear the demonic way of attack.
But the cultivation world is different, there are so many masters there, with the strength of the immortal cultivators, how can the magic way make the immortal cultivators in the cultivation world have no time to care for themselves?
Some people's thoughts turned quickly, "Could it be... Can some fellow Taoists tell us, is something wrong with the Hexiao Sect?"
Shen Hezhi said, "Not at all. Although it will inevitably be impacted, the sect still exists, but I can't care about you."
"As long as the sect is still there..." Several cultivators were nervous for a while, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect this to happen outside, and the magic way has become so powerful that it can suppress the immortal cultivator, no wonder..."
In fact, after hearing that the cultivation world did not abandon and forget them, but failed to come to support them because they were stumbling, they felt much better and became much more energetic.
After all, no one wants to be left behind.
Da Fengniao asked, "After that, you never thought about leaving?"
"Since there is a lesson from the previous person, of course those of us dare not leave easily."
The man sighed, "At that time, no one can guarantee what will happen after leaving, what will happen, and whether there will be a chance to come back here."
He looked at the mortals on the island in the middle of the lake, "We can just leave, but what about these mortals? These people are vulnerable to the devil. If we leave too, the cultivation world here will be destroyed." It’s really going to be an empty city.”
"So you have been guarding here for so long?"
The emotions of these cultivators did not fluctuate too violently, and they seemed to be used to it. "Except for the initial period of suffering, I gradually got used to it later."
"The mortals here are all sporadic survivors after the massacre by the Demonic Dao. We occasionally go out on patrol to inquire about the news of the Demonic Dao. A lot of people."
Shen Hezhi asked, "Is there still someone in the mundane world in the Demonic Way?"
"Yes, if it weren't for this, we wouldn't have been trapped here for so long." If the magic way is gone, why should they hide?
The man looked solemn, "These demon cultivators seem to have other plans besides wanting to obtain dragon energy. We have been inquiring intermittently these days, and we have vaguely noticed what they are planning."
"What are you preparing for?"
"It's probably something like a formation," another person said, "I can deduce it based on the clues I have collected."
This person is the one who is good at using formations, and the formations here are set up by him.
His words are naturally believable.
Shen Hezhi is now very sensitive to the matter of "array". After all, they previously speculated that the magic way tried to use the talisman array to connect the turbid air below the mainland with the mainland, and degrade the practitioners into the demon world. Any actions of the magic way about the formation may be for this purpose.
Therefore, if the Demonic Dao is suspected of arranging formations in this mortal world, it is likely to be for that connected rune formation, then Shen Hezhi must find out and notify the little ancestor.
"Where are the demonic ways?" Shen Hezhi asked, "We searched this mortal world hastily, but we didn't find any traces of those demonic ways. Are they hiding? Do you know where they appear?"
"Hiding?" The cultivators headed by He Xiaozong were a little puzzled, "When I was investigating outside the day before yesterday, there were people from the demonic way haunting the outside world, and they seemed to be searching for us and the whereabouts of these mortals we saved. .”
"Why can't I find anyone now?"
Some people wondered: "Could it be that the people of the devil's way have already left?"
"No, it's impossible. The Demon Dao is still looking for me to find my whereabouts. How could it be possible to leave suddenly, and it happened to be at the time when fellow Taoists from the Linggan Immortal Sect came? It can't be such a coincidence."
"Perhaps, the demonic way is afraid of the strength of the fellow daoist, and has been lurking?"
Shen Hezhi frowned, "It's also possible...the magic way has achieved its goal."
