A divine deer pulled an eight-wheeled bronze chariot, like a valiant horse, out of Violet Firmament Ancient City, heading towards the northwest direction, causing the fallen leaves on the side of the road to fly up.
The Hidden Dragon War and the Military Strategy Iron Council were at hand. The heaven-defying geniuses of the Feng Clan's fifth generation would certainly come into being. Once these people appeared, their names would shake the world.
If he wanted to kill a bloody path under the light of these heaven-defying geniuses, then he must seize every second to increase his cultivation.
Going to Jing Huan Mountain this time was extremely urgent!
Dragon Stone Town was located in the northwest wasteland, close to Jing Huan Mountain. Within a radius of several hundred miles, only Yiyi lived in this small town. Because there were many spirit stone veins in Jing Huan Mountain, many people used Dragon Stone Town as a transfer station. Because of this, this small town was quite famous in Violet Firmament Ancient City.
Many cultivators knew of the existence of this small town.
When Feng Feiyun arrived at Dragon Stone Town, it was already nightfall. The wheels of the chariot rolled on the small road in front of the town, breaking the tranquility of the small town.
"Dear guest, you want to go to Jing Huan Mountain?
Right now, the sky is dark, and the mountain is not peaceful. How about you go to our White Horse Inn and rest for the night? Tomorrow morning, you will go with the caravan; this way, it will be a lot safer. "
The divine deer chariot had just stopped, and a servant wearing a skullcap quickly came to greet him, and he said this with a mischievous smile.
The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman like Feng Feiyun and Feng Jianxue, this servant had seen many times. Normally, it was the children of the great clans that came out to patrol the mines, or they would go to Jing Huan Mountain to train, or some disciples of the immortal sects that went deep into the mountains to collect medicines and spirit treasures.
Normally, when meeting such a guest, the other party would be quite generous because they were not short on money.
With a glance, Feng Feiyun could see the end of the small town. He could even see the dark mountains in the distance. There was a cold wind that blew the pine and cypress fragrance from the mountains, giving people a comfortable feeling.
"Little Brother, why is this Dragon Stone Town so quiet at night? There is not even a single lamp?" Feng Feiyun smelled an unusual atmosphere.
Night had just fallen. Even if the town didn't like noise, it couldn't be without an oil lamp.
The servant seemed to be used to this. He lowered his voice and whispered: "Recently, I heard that the Yin Gou Clan's mine had an ominous object dug out."
There were many spirit stone mines in Jing Huan Mountain. All the big clans and immortal sects opened up mines in the mountain to share the resources.
An immortal mountain like Jing Huan Mountain was the best burial ground for cultivators. There were many clans in Violet Firmament Ancient City that had their ancestral tombs at Jing Huan Mountain.
The corpses of these Immortal Cultivators had long since become different from ordinary people due to their cultivation. They had undergone a considerable change, and this change was known as "Human Transformation"!
If they were buried in some special places after death, these places would often have "earth-shaking changes".
When "Human Transformation" and "Earth Transformation" resonate, the corpses buried underground will also mutate. This kind of mutation is quite complicated, and the final results are also different.
Some could come back from the dead. This was called "Rebirth".
Some would turn into ferocious bloody corpses. This was called "Corpse Transformation".
Some would condense the surrounding spirit energy and change the ecology of the area, creating a murderous land. This was called "Ominous Transformation".
…
In any case, there were many kinds of transformations, and each one was more frightening than the last. A treasure ground like Jing Huan Mountain would often have an "Earth Transformation". After the ancestors of the cultivation clans died of old age, they would often choose to be buried in this place. They hoped that they could borrow the terrain of this place to resurrect themselves.
However, in the past thousands of years, the number of people who came back from the dead was very small. On the contrary, there were countless evil corpses and monsters.
This eight hundred mile Jing Huan Mountain had never been peaceful. Even in broad daylight, meeting an old corpse playing chess in the forest was completely possible.
"What ominous object?" Feng Feiyun's curiosity was piqued again.
The servant seemed to be quite afraid and didn't want to say much. However, after Feng Feiyun threw him a gold coin, he didn't have any more reservations.
"Recently, I heard that the Yin Gou Clan's mine dug out a basket of bloody mud. On the same day, many people mysteriously died.
No one dared to dig anymore. Until the second day, when an important character from the Yin Gou Clan came from Violet Firmament Ancient City, the mine continued to be dug. As for what was dug out later … No one knows. "
The servant was very cautious. There were many things he didn't dare to say, afraid of provoking the ominous object.
"Crash!"
Feng Feiyun took out another gold coin and stuffed it into the servant's hand.
The servant was ecstatic. He thought that this time, he really met a gold mine owner. He continued: "I have a distant cousin who is doing statistical work in the mine. I heard him say that yesterday, they dug out an ancient ruin. It seemed to be a temple that was buried under the ground several thousand years ago. Inside the temple, there were many corpses of ancient monks. These corpses underwent a drastic change, and they chanted sutras every night for a long time without end."
"When the night came and the moon came out, these ancient monks who had been dead for several thousand years became abnormally crazy. Some cried loudly, some roared ferociously, and some faced the sky and roared. Some people speculated that they were monks who died unjustly, and the resentment in their hearts didn't dissipate even after several thousand years."
Hearing such a strange matter, Feng Jianxue's face was pale from fear. Her petite and exquisite body involuntarily leaned towards Feng Feiyun.
The thing that Feng Feiyun was least afraid of was the dead, and he said: "Even so, these ancient monks are still trapped inside the mine. There is no reason for the people of Dragon Stone Town to be afraid, right?"
The servant seemed to have a bit of fear, and he said: "Yesterday, the great characters of the Yin Gou Clan worked together to seal the mine. However, I heard from my distant uncle that before the mine was sealed, there were three ancient monk corpses that escaped from inside. At this moment, no one knows where they are. Even if they have already arrived at Dragon Stone Town, it is still not certain."
"Awooo!"
A wolf howl came from the distant mountain range, and it resounded through the night sky, carrying a bit of murderous intent.
Even though Feng Jianxue's cultivation was not bad, she was indeed timid. At this moment, she couldn't help but grab onto Feng Feiyun's wrist, and she almost buried her head into his shoulder.
Feng Feiyun touched his chin, and he said: "Isn't it a distant cousin?"
The servant was slightly startled, and then he awkwardly smiled: "The truth is, my distant uncle and cousin are both working in the mine!"
Feng Feiyun didn't care whether these words were true, or if it was the servant's way of attracting guests. However, at this moment, it was really late, and he was not familiar with Jing Huan Mountain. At this moment, even if he dared to go to the mountain, Feng Jianxue absolutely wouldn't dare to go.
Thus, he would temporarily stay in Dragon Stone Town for one night, and he only hoped that Du Shougao and the bewitching young man wouldn't catch up so quickly.
The White Horse Inn was one of the three inn stations in Dragon Stone Town. Even though it wasn't luxurious, it was still quiet and spacious.
After the servant led the two of Feng Feiyun and Feng Jianxue to the inn, he quickly closed the door, and he also used an iron bolt to lock the door. It was as if he was really afraid that the ancient monk corpses would sneak in in the middle of the night.
Even though the outside of the inn was completely dark, there was a bronze lamp inside. However, because the window was nailed shut by wooden boards, and the door was blocked by wood shavings, the outside couldn't see the light.
Seeing this posture, Feng Feiyun, who originally had some doubts in his heart, became a bit more convinced.
Even though it was already dark, there were still many guests inside the inn. These people had a lot of spirit energy on their bodies, and their cultivations were mostly at the Spirit Realm. Even so, they still couldn't be compared to ordinary martial artists.
"Even though there are many strange places in Jing Huan Mountain, and they are also extremely dangerous, there are many rare medicinal ingredients. If you are lucky, you can even find ores for refining tools.
Because of this reason, every year, many cultivators come to Jing Huan Mountain from all directions. Most of these people will stay at our White Horse Inn for the night.
Thus, Guest, you can rest assured. This place is absolutely not a black inn; your life and belongings are all guaranteed. "
The servant nodded his head and bowed to Feng Feiyun, and he said this.
"That's not necessarily true. Why do I feel that there is an unfriendly gaze directed at us?" Feng Feiyun said.
When Feng Feiyun and Feng Jianxue entered the White Horse Inn, they had already attracted the gazes of everyone in the inn. Even though this combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman was not uncommon, a girl as beautiful as Feng Jianxue was very rare. This made these bitter cultivators, who had been living on the edge of a blade all year round, become excited.
In this small town, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. Even if they did something out of line, no one would be able to stop them. The few bearded men didn't even bother to hide the naked light in their eyes. They licked their lips and were already eager to give it a try.
This was like a wolf that hadn't eaten meat for a whole winter, and suddenly saw a fragrant lamb. This kind of temptation was not something that could be overcome by reason.
At this moment, Feng Jianxue, this little girl, pretended to be even more timid and pitiful. She deliberately stuck out her tongue, and she timidly hid behind Feng Feiyun. It was as if she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to provoke the fierce nature of these people.
Not to mention the cultivators in the inn, even Feng Feiyun was enraged by her. If he didn't know her true nature, he would have thought of her as an innocent loli, and he would have taken her to a secluded place to let her look at the big goldfish.
