Pursuing Longevity With an Immortal Mansion

Chapter 595: Broken City

Looking at the blurry city in his sight, a sentence from an ancient book flashed in Liu Yu's mind.

According to ancient records, the entire Annan Protectorate can be roughly divided into six continents.

Every continent is at least twice the size of Qingzhou.

The southernmost one is called Yizhou, and the northernmost one is Lingzhou.

The fairy city in the southernmost part of Yizhou is called Changnan City, and it is also the starting point of the Changnan Ancient Road.

So, we have arrived at the Annan Protector's Mansion now?

Looking at the human traces on the avenue, Liu Yu flashed this idea, and his mind went up and down.

After nearly thirty years of living in the open air, even if he was determined and not content with having fun, he was really, really tired of it.

You must be wary of demon cultivators at all times. You may face a life or death crisis at any time, and the psychological pressure can be imagined.

Now, having finally reached the end of the journey, even Liu Yu, who has always been serious about words, couldn't help but show excitement on his face.

What's wrong.

Seeing Liu Yu's abnormal expression, Zhuo Mengzhen, who was also holding a spiritual stone and recovering his magic power, asked.

look.

Liu Yu gestured in the direction of the ancient city in the distance.

Hearing this, Zhuo Zhuomengzhen looked over and opened his eyes wide the next moment.

Chengchi, could it be that we have already left the Hengduan Mountains?

She stood there blankly for a few breaths before murmuring.

Thinking of the hardships along the way, another blush appeared on the pale face due to excitement.

It should be true, monsters don't need a city.

With a slight smile, Liu Yu looked into the distance and said.

But why do I still encounter demon cultivators from time to time when I get here, and there are also many low-level demon beasts?!

Liu Yu frowned slightly as he looked at the demonic birds flying in the sky and the active demonic beasts on both sides of the road.

Could it be that something happened to the Annan Protectorate in the past hundreds of thousands of years?

Guesses arose in his mind.

Judging from the fact that the demon cultivators and monster beasts are so active, it is obvious that the city in the distance is no longer under the control of the human race.

Is the city in front of me the Changnan City?

What happened to the Annan Protectorate in the past hundreds of thousands of years?

Is it just a fairy city that has fallen, or has the entire six continents fallen?!

Questions emerged one after another. Looking at the monsters and the city in the distance, many questions arose in the two people's minds.

Sneak over and take a look.

Looking at each other, the two nodded to each other and restored their mana at full speed.

Half an hour later, his mana was fully restored and the Wall of Divine Consciousness surrounded him. Liu Yu led Zhuo Mengzhen and flew toward the city.

…

With the escape speed of the Golden Core cultivator, even if he does not escape with all his strength, his speed can be described as lightning fast.

As the line of sight kept getting closer, the city in the distance became clearer and clearer.

Finally, about eighty miles away from the ancient city, Liu Yu and Zhuo Mengzhen landed on a hill about a hundred feet high and looked at the city carefully.

At a glance, the city stretches for dozens of miles to the left and right, with almost no edge visible.

A feeling of weight and vastness naturally arises.

The city wall is completely green and black, as if it is made of magic weapon-level spiritual materials, and looks very hard.

On it, there are still traces left by swords and the remnants of various spells.

What caught their attention the most were some traces clearly left by monsters.

Such as claw marks, tooth marks, etc.

pity.

Liu Yu sighed lightly.

It's a pity that the vast and thick fairy city in front of you is now dilapidated and has not been maintained for a long time.

With the eyesight of the Golden Core cultivator, standing at this distance, he could barely see the situation in the city clearly.

I saw that the blue-black city wall stretched for dozens of miles, and many sections in the middle had collapsed. Even if they had not collapsed, they were already in dilapidated condition.

Some places are even covered with moss and traces of corrosion over time.

Under the sunlight, the city wall was completely mottled, and even the traces left by magic weapons and spells on it became less obvious.

Time flows on the city walls, and the former glory will decay. The ancient fairy city is dilapidated and will no longer be as tall and majestic as it once was.

Changnan City.

Beside him, Zhuo Mengzhen sighed heavily.

After the excitement, when she finally saw the face of the city, she was obviously very disappointed.

An avenue dozens of feet wide spreads from the city's main entrance into the distance, but is blocked by mountains, as if cut off abruptly, making it extremely abrupt.

This city should be the Changnan City of Yizhou. It's unmistakable.

I didn't expect that hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and even this city has fallen into the hands of the demon clan.

Shaking his head slightly, Liu Yu sighed lightly as he looked at the scene in front of him.

This means that if they want to truly reach the Central Realm, they have to struggle with the demon cultivator again!

According to the records in ancient books and what he saw and heard along the way, he was very sure that the ancient road in front of him was the Changnan Ancient Road.

Unfortunately, it has been destroyed!

The city in front of you is Changnan City, but it has also fallen into the hands of the demon clan and turned into such a dilapidated state.

Changnan, Changnan, means the southern border of Changda. Unfortunately, things are constantly changing.

Looking at the dilapidated city and the unrecognizable roads, Liu Yu looked a little complicated.

Mixed in the struggle between the human and demon clans, even though he was already a golden elixir monk, he felt very powerless.

Nothing can be changed, we can only take one step at a time and move forward cautiously.

The two of them did not expect that when they came to the Central Territory with their mission, they would encounter such a situation. Even the Annan Protectorate might have fallen.

What changes happened in these hundreds of thousands of years!

Does the Tang Dynasty still exist?

Are the contact information provided by the sect still valid at this time?

Pulling back his divergent thoughts and thinking about the mission of the sect and the Seven Nations Alliance, Liu Yu thought silently in his heart.

The contact information given by the sect was to let him get in touch with the Annan Protectorate first, and then go to Chang'an through the Annan Six Continents.

Judging from the current situation, Changnan City and Changnan Ancient Road have become like this. Liu Yu is very doubtful whether the contact method is still effective.

Moreover, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and it is not known whether the Tang Dynasty still exists or not. Maybe the dynasty has changed a long time ago.

Even between Tiannan and Zhongyu, there is still some incense love.

But facing the obstacles from the Tiannan Monster Clan, he was very doubtful whether Zhongyu could make up his mind to help.

But what does this have to do with myself?

As soon as the information is delivered, the mission is completed.

According to records, the world of immortal cultivation in the Central Region is far more prosperous than that in Tiannan, and there are more resources of all kinds.

I really don't know when I will go back.

Maybe by then, we will have reached a level that was once unimaginable, and returning to Tiannan will no longer be a problem?

Thinking about it, Liu Yu laughed at himself, feeling funny that he was worried too much.

He is just an ordinary Jindan monk, but he actually dares to think about Tiannan's future?

Thinking like this, Liu Yu turned his eyes and continued to observe the situation.

I saw many groups of monsters gathered around the ancient city.

There are as few as five or six, as many as dozens, scattered above and around the city, monitoring the movements of the ancient city at all times.

On the broad avenue at the city gate, there were actually many mortals and monks coming and going, and they were not attacked by demonic cultivators and monsters.

It's just that these people don't seem to be doing well.

The mortal body has a rickety appearance with vegetable color on the face, and the body is extremely thin and withered.

Among the thousands of mortals who gathered from several directions, there was not a single normal person fully clothed.

As for immortal cultivators, their complexion is much better and they can wear clean and complete clothes.

But the breath was extremely weak, and the spiritual pressure was too low to be heard. It was obviously not normal.

Regardless of the different cultivation levels, regardless of the level of realm.

All the immortal cultivators wear a black collar around their necks, which seems to have an extraordinary effect.

There are even some monks whose hands and feet are still shackled with chains, and monsters are always watching them. They are no longer as noble as immortal masters, but more like

More like a slave, or a prisoner.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Liu Yu was speechless.

It is indeed a bit miserable and sad that the dignified immortal cultivators have fallen into this situation, including the Golden elixir cultivators.

It seems that Changnan City has fallen into the hands of the demon clan, so what should we do if we come down?

Are you going to bypass this city and continue on?

After observing for a long time, Zhuo Mengzhen asked.

She didn't know what to do with the complicated situation in front of her, and with her strength, she couldn't make the decision.

The situation here is different from the blockade in the Hengduan Mountains. We cannot act rashly.

Liu Yu shook his head slightly, thought for a while, and then continued:

As usual, let's understand the situation first and then make a decision.

He urgently wants to know the situation in the Central Territory, why the Annan Protectorate became what it is now, and is it still the Great Tang now?

But with the existence of monks, it is much easier to collect information.

Looking at the monk who was suppressed by the collar and chains, Liu Yu's eyes flashed with coldness and ruthlessness.

Just do what you want and observe the distribution of the demon cultivators. As soon as he uses his magic power, he will fly in the direction where the cultivators are coming.

I plan to avoid the eyes and ears of the demon cultivator, and first arrest a cultivator to understand the situation.

etc.

But just as he was about to set off, Zhuo Mengzhen suddenly interrupted.

Um?!

Liu Yu paused and looked at the woman with a frown.

Coming to the Central Territory, the way back is extremely difficult. We will definitely not be able to go back in a short time.

It's better to think of a new name or title, which means a new beginning and will make things easier in the future.

how?

Pursing his lips, Zhuo Mengzhen explained.

A series of setbacks did not knock the girl down, but her faith became stronger.

When she came to the Central Territory, she wanted to completely give up her former pride and glory and start a new journey!

.

Aren't names and titles just made up at random?

Why take it so seriously?

Liu Yu glanced at the female cultivator in front of him strangely, and Liu Yu felt a little puzzled.

Zhuo Mengzhen has indeed changed a lot over the years.

But sometimes, life does need a sense of ritual.

On second thought, he didn't refuse.

After the words were spoken, Zhuo Mengzhen stopped talking, obviously waiting for Liu Yu to speak first.

Xiao Huo? Lin Pao?

Wang Teng?

Seeing through Zhuo Mengzhen's petty thoughts, Liu Yu put his hands behind his back, looked down at the dilapidated Changnan City, and actually started to think seriously.

Looking at the dilapidated city in the distance, good names flashed through my mind quickly.

Suddenly, he felt blessed and blurted out:

Ancient city.

From now on, Liu's pseudonym will be called Gucheng.

Coming with a mission, he felt that this pseudonym was very good and low-key enough to be inconspicuous.

Ancient city?

good.

Then I will be called Cai Die from now on, don't forget it!

Zhuo Mengzhen read it again and nodded, and then said his pseudonym. He should have thought of it a long time ago.

.

The two looked at each other and could see the slightest smile in each other's eyes.

Then the magic power circulated, rising into the sky quietly, flying towards a certain direction where monks were coming.

…

Huchi~huchi~

Yu Feiyan panted heavily and felt very tired.

But he had to move forward with difficulty, rushing from the trail to the avenue until he returned to the fairy city.

She pulled hard, loading a mine cart full of purple ore.

This kind of ore is very heavy, and even with the strength of a foundation-building monk, it is very difficult to drag it.

Although she was very tired, Yu Feiyan did not stop for a moment.

Just because there was a second-level fire sparrow above her, always monitoring the place below.

If you slack off even a little bit, this monster will swoop down, tear out its throat and devour the flesh and blood!

Having learned a lot from the past, Yu Feiyan still didn't want to die, so she had no choice but to succumb to the evil cultivator's power.

If it weren't for the forbidden spirit ring, I wouldn't be able to use mana to cast spells.

“What does a mere cart of purple gold ore count for?!”

Yu Feiyan thought bitterly in her heart.

The Forbidden Spirit Ring and the Forbidden Spirit Lock have similar functions. They can both imprison the monk's mana, preventing the monk from using any mana.

As a legal cultivator with a fragile body, if he loses his magic power, he can only become a lamb to be slaughtered when faced with monsters.

The former is mainly aimed at monks below the golden elixir stage, while the latter is aimed at monks at the golden elixir level.

Ironically, the two magic weapons were designed and refined by immortal cultivators, and were dedicated to demon cultivators in exchange for resources and status.

Whoosh~

Perhaps because she was distracted, the woman moved a little slower, and immediately a whip shadow came out.

Snapped

The long black whip with barbs hit the body hard, making the sound of skin being ripped open.

Immediately, there was a burning pain, and dark red blood immediately appeared under the thin cloth.

Yu Feiyan looked up and saw a sinister-looking middle-aged supervisor, proudly playing with the long whip in his hand.

Seeing her looking over, she showed a joking smile.

hateful!

Yu Feiyan was filled with hatred, but she could only hold back the breath and continue to drag the mine car with all her strength.

If fatigue occurs and the minecart stops moving forward, it will be considered a useless person by the fire sparrow above and will be devoured on the spot without mercy.

The entire Changnan City is controlled by the Fire Bird Clan.

Useless people do not deserve to live and will become food for monsters immediately!

And those supervisors, for various reasons, were willing to be the minions of the demon cultivators, and instead drew their swords against the human cultivators.

Even in order to survive and obtain more cultivation resources, he actively tried his best to please the monster master and tortured other monks in various ways.

This made many monks feel great hatred, and they hated some supervisors even more than monsters.

Uh-huh~

Just as Yu Feiyan was trying hard to tow the truck, a scream suddenly came from behind.

The screams were somewhat familiar, causing her to subconsciously look back, only to see an extremely bloody scene.

A female cultivator who was also in the Foundation Establishment stage couldn't drag the mine cart and wanted to rest on the spot. Her head was smashed by the claws of the second-level fire sparrow, turning her into a headless corpse.

Then, the second-level fire sparrow took one bite, and half of the foundation-building female cultivator disappeared.

Click

After another mouthful and a little chewing, the female cultivator's body was gone.

Yu Feiyan looked away, a look of pain flashed in her eyes, but she had no time to feel sad and hurriedly dragged the purple gold mine cart with all her strength.

The female nun just now is her friend

buzz

The wheels turned, and the mine carts filled with purple gold ore moved slowly on the rugged path.

Although Yu Feiyan tried her best, she still fell to the bottom of the team step by step because she could not use her magic power and because women were not as strong as male cultivators.

Slowly, the large troops are far away, and you have to look carefully to see their shadows.

Oops.

Realizing her situation, Yu Feiyan felt ice-cold in her heart.

Feeling the cruel gaze of the second-level fire sparrow above, which wanted to choose someone to devour, she suddenly felt her hands and feet were cold.

But the more fear you have in your heart, the worse your performance will be.

Gradually, she felt that the mine cart was getting heavier and heavier, and the dragging speed was as slow as a turtle.

Whizzing

The sound of breaking through the sky sounded from above, like the sound of the god of death wielding a scythe.

Oops!

Hearing this voice, Yu Feiyan's breath froze, and he seemed to feel the breath of death in his breath.

She understood that she had been considered useless and was about to be used as food.

But what if you understand?

With his magic power banned, how could a pure practitioner of magic escape from the mouth of a monster?

At the moment of life and death, Yu Feiyan couldn't help but close her eyes and quietly wait for death.

One breath, two breaths

Zi Zi

It seemed like a very long time, but it seemed like it was just a moment. The sound of burning flames suddenly sounded in my ears, and then the smell of meat filled the air.

Yu Feiyan opened her eyes and saw an unforgettable scene!

The unbeatable second-level fire sparrow had been burned out by a ball of blue flames, and it didn't even have time to scream.

this

But when the Fire Bird died, instead of feeling happy, she was extremely frightened.

Changnan City is managed by the Firebird Clan, and its spirit demon bloodline is the noble among monsters, superior to thousands of monsters.

Now that the fire bird guarding them has died, this group of monks will be buried with him, so she still cannot escape death.

who?!

The magic power was blocked, but the spiritual sense was not affected. Yu Feiyan felt a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation.

She suddenly noticed two monks appearing beside her at some unknown moment.

What's even more shocking is that there is nothing on their necks and feet.

This means that both of them are foreign monks, coming from outside the Annan Protectorate!

Two seniors, I don't know why you are here. No matter what, I will be happy to help you!

When a certain idea occurred to her, Yu Feiyan immediately bent 90 degrees to salute. Later, she knelt down and spoke very quickly.

The woman's face turned red and she couldn't help herself with excitement.

She has had enough of this kind of life, where she is worse than a pig or a dog and has no dignity at all.

Yu Feiyan longs to return to Daqian, longs to regain her freedom, and longs to enjoy a leisurely afternoon again.

Longing for a new lease of life!

oh?

Can I help you with anything?

Liu Yu spoke indifferently, his pupils were full of coldness, and his tone was without any warmth.

What?!

Yu Feiyan sensed something was wrong, but before she could react, she lost consciousness.

Thanks to the Chinese website of Dodian, He Xi Hug You, and the two powerful alliance leaders for their strong support, this book adds two more alliances! !

PS: I'm a bit stuck, I have to adjust my work and rest schedule, I'm not energetic all day long, and I still have a thousand words to update tomorrow.
