The great cala summer, after thousand hundreds years later, the people still remembered it clearly, those terror and madness days
The extrereat ushed out from it, the numbers were uncountable, each and every creature were blood-thirsty, regardless whether it was ht and many of them coveted for human meat, the places where they passed by, the scenes were appalling
This calamity erupted froreat mountains, spread rapidly to the entire southern border, the five tribes, Miao, Zhuang, Tu, Li and GaoShan rose to fight
However facing those innue dehly skilled shaman poithin the to obstruct a chariot, destroyed in a blink of an eye, the southern border people in utter misery, a field littered with corpses
The news shocked the world, words spread far and wide, the people in Central Plains were shocked by the news and for days in a constant state of anxiety, a few Central Plains co near the southern border packed up their fa to stay as far away as possible from this calamity
Not one of the cultivated skilled martial artist was not appalled by the news, even the Good and Evil Factions which had always been fighting openly and covertly with each other, at that point in ti the southern side ies for themselves
FenXiang Valley which was situated at the south, as the valley reat nu Yun Hill Reverend DaoXuan, fortunately escaped the disaster
It was said that after the event, Yun YiLan valley edy of the southern border people, beat his chest and storieved that he wished he was dead and said that if he was around, he would never allow the evildoers to make trouble and torrief were apparent in his words and already had the intention to commit suicide in order to seek redress, fortunately his disciples grabbed hi Yun sect various elders leaders’ persuasions, Yun valley leader then cal Valley’s entire force, he would seek revenge for the southern border people!
Soon, Yun YiLan at Qing Yun Hill announced to all of the cultivated reat calamity at present was raised by an evil beast, this dee, without the combined efforts of everyone the evil would not be defeated, as such, FenXiang Valley and Qing Yun sect together appealed to the cultivated skilled martial artists of the world, with the power of everyone’s combined forces, execute this hunt!
The next day, Tian Yin Tereed with Qing Yun, FenXiang’s appeal and within the next few days sent men over to convene with them
The Good Faction feverishly raised money and discussed, dispatched batches of talented disciples to spy on thoseyourself and your enemy and you would never be defeated
And the Evil Faction three great powerful branches which had always been puffed up with pride, Ghost King sect, Wan Du Clan and HeHuan Sect instead beca each other and not in a hurry to make any move And also with this situation, the Central Plains temporary entered into an unusual peacefulness
This unusual peacefulness, a day before summer arrived, finally broke, the monsters which had trampled and devastated southern border had finally reached Central Plains
But the initially, the nuo, the co near the southern border had all already fled The nu and rapidly extending out, soon it would be entering the Central Plains hinterland, and that, would be the tis
Uncertain whether it was the terrifying news or the hard-to-discern-truth-or-lie ru news did in fact coe wiped out in bloodshed, today was an entire city reduced to ruins, noeach day in fear and terror, all would be that torturous and filled with trepidation
However, to someone whose heart had died, even if the entire world was dead, it did not concern hi, had already been more than atheo and just went along with the flow
A along, not to mention they had to feed oneTaoist, who carried their luggage and did the trivial chores, the entire day he was either drinking or sleeping and instead needed others to care for him frequently
And talking about free loaders, Ghost Li only drank a little wine and that was all, Zhou YiXian’s biggest eyesore was that three-eyedappetite, even its alcohol tolerance far exceeded Ghost Li who passed out once he drank, a big bag of wine downed and the monkey’s face did not even turn red, if not for Xiao Huan who insisted on bringing this et
As for Wild Dog Taoist, ever since he tried to attack Ghost Li and was stopped by Xiao Hui, and eventually pardoned by Ghost Li, fro a word for days frequently
But in the past few days, noor Xiao Huan, including the taciturn Wild Dog Taoist, started to notice soh it was hard for them to describe what exactly but Ghost Li indeed was slowly turning sober, the most obvious was the number of ti sober for the whole night But his behaviour was still eccentric - Ghost Li often sat with Xiao Hui, facing north and staring blankly, as if he had so on his mind
The news of the great calaration of the co to the north, started to spread, Zhou YiXian and the rest also came to know about this
Within the group, Zhou YiXian was first to be stunned after hearing the news, after which he contehs the whole day,where should he flee to?
The others were not as worried as hi on their er which see with Xiao Hui and occasionally chatting with Ghost Li, these kind of days were fulfilling
However, under the insistence of Zhou YiXian, eventually they still headed north, according to Zhou YiXian, the further away from the south, it would at least be easier for theees fro the way, the situations described turned worse and worseLike splitting a bamboo, the demonic monsters and tribes devoured maniacally and had already forced their way into the Central Plains hinterland
A few days before, a the news there was one which said the monsters had already reached the city wall andand the rest into rushi+ng their journey, although not long after they got to know that the neas just a rumour but the fear and trepidation of the people could clearly be seen
Deep in the night, the group of theht, made a campfire at one of the small mountain top, they sat around the fire, only Ghost Li sat in a distance
Xiao Hui ju a number of wild fruits in its hands plucked fro down, started tomouthfuls
Zhou YiXian glanced sideways over, hesitated for a while, looked over to Xiao Huan and Wild Dog Taoist, said, “I have so that I need to speak to all of you”
Xiao Huan felt puzzled, looked over to Zhou YiXian and said, “Grandfather, what is it?”
Zhou YiXian was about to speak when suddenly Xiao Hui sitting at Ghost Li’s shoulder see, loudly [zhi zhi] shouted Everyone was startled and started to stand up, walk over to Xiao Hui and glanced in the direction of its gesturing In the diroup of people alking over, young, old, ued but still trudged forward
Zhou YiXian after looking for a while, sighed and said, “It is the refugees from the south”
nobody said a word, Zhou YiXian after a while, said, “Actually what I wanted to say was this, noe do not knohat is the situation in the south but with such sudden huge nu people, this cannot be wrong These few days we have seento the north, I think we have to increase our speed and make haste to the north”
Xiao Huan frowned and said, “Grandfather, heading to the north is right and anye have always been wandering but the north is so huge, heard that those ood place to hide?”
Zhou YiXian glared at her, said, “Didn’t you hear the ru the , no round cellar or even deep inside the mountains, they would find you and eat you up With such Goddao to find places where we can hide?”
Xiao Huan made a bitter face, said, “Then what do we do, don’t tell me sooner or later we all have to be eaten by those monsters?”
Zhou YiXian snorted, said, “Rubbish, I, Zhou Great Celestial, have superb strategy and wonderful foresight, hoould I die by those beasts’ ured out, in the whole world now, there is only one place where it is the safest”
Xiao Huan was surprised, Wild Dog Taoist and even Ghost Li’s body also moved, turned to look at Zhou YiXian, Zhou YiXian could not help but feel conceited, [He he] laughed twice Xiao Huan was both delighted and surprised, said, “Grandfather, there is actually such a place, quickly tell!”
Zhou YiXian coughed twice then sole Yun Hill”
Wild Dog Taoist’s face changed, Ghost Li turned his head back, only Xiao Huan curiously said, “I know Qing Yun Hill is where Qing Yun sect is, mostly cultivated Taoists but after all it is only one sect, facing those monsters, if they are able to defend theood, much less care about us?”
Zhou YiXian [ha ha] laughed, said, “This you don’t know, although the news have not spread over but I a Valley and Tian Yin Te Yun, because Yun YiLan that old fellow right now is at Qing Yun, including the Qing Yun battle ten years ago, Qing Yun sect’s ‘Zhu Xian Sword Formation’”
Ghost Li heard the four words, his body shook violently
But Zhou YiXian did not notice hi Yun sect’s Zhu Xian Sword Formation has attracted much attention, everyone knows that sword for celestial powers, therefore if they convene at Qing Yun, at least they have another layer of protection I guess the world’s Good Faction martial artistsYun and coainst this unheralded catastrophe, if we go to Qing Yun then naturally ill be at the safest place With so hly skilled martial artists, I don't think they will just watch us co, he felt hed out
A cold snort was heard suddenly in-between his laughter, Zhou YiXian was surprised and with Xiao Huan, Wild Dog Taoist together looked over, Ghost Li slowly stood up from the shadows but did not turn, coldly said, “Only that those Good Faction experts, not only will they leave you to die, they will also give you a kick behind your back”
Zhou YiXian was rily said, “Pei, anyway you are crooked devil in evil ways, even if you go you will also be kicked out…”
Xiao Huan suddenly shouted, “Grandfather!”
Zhou YiXian glanced at Xiao Huan, knew his words were too much, bitterly stopped, Xiao Huan turned and looked at Ghost Li, had some hesitation but eventually still said, “You, you don’t listen tohis mouth off…”
Zhou YiXian was furious, broke in and said, “You dared to say your own grandfather is shooting his mouth off!”
Xiao Huan ignored hiht now the situation is really bad, you better come with us, after all that place will be safer than the others…”
Before Xiao Huan could finish, Ghost Li indifferently said, “Don’t need to, the world is so big, I will have places to go”
After speaking, his body moved and walked ahead
Xiao Huan was stunned, anxiousness appeared on her face, she hurriedly said, “Zhangwhere, where are you going?”
Ghost Li did not answer, his figure walking ahead increased in speed, Xiao Hui on his shoulder turned back, watching Xiao Huan as staring blankly on the srinned and waved its hands
Xiao Huan watched that swiftly diure, for some reasons, she felt an inexplicable emptiness in her heart, she felt a lump in her throat and tears almost flowed out
[Si!]
The light sound pierced through the air, Ghost Li’s figure swept past the night sky The dark clouds heavy in the sky, not a single trace of starlight, the night sky seemed to be affected by the cala the people any hope
