"Cultivators?"
Shopkeeper Qian, Shopkeeper Kong, as well as the extremely ordinary looking Zhang Nian and the honest looking Liu Cheng were all surprised. They all looked in the direction Wei Suo was looking.
The direction that Wei Suo was looking at seemed to be the middle part of True Nether City, but regardless of what his spiritual sense or vision was, they could not detect the existence of any cultivator.
"They seem to have noticed us as well. They might have seen the light when we came." Wei Suo nodded and said without making a sound.
"Where are they now? Can you feel them coming towards us?" How many of them are there? " Shopkeeper Qian, Manager Kong, and the rest all had excited and nervous expressions on their faces. The safety of ordinary cultivators could be guaranteed, and in this case, if the other party was a kind-hearted person, they could be of great help. If the other party was a vicious person who killed people and looted goods, then it might be a disaster for them.
"There are at least seven or eight cultivators, but there shouldn't be any danger. Let's go and meet them." However, Wei Suo's expression was very calm. After saying this to Shopkeeper Qian and the others, he began to lead the way.
"So far?"
Wei Suo was indeed advancing towards the center of True Nether City. However, after traversing over a distance of ten thousand feet, Wei Suo did not stop and continued to lead the way.
"Fellow Daoist Ji, you can actually sense the presence of cultivators at such a great distance?" "Those cultivators, where are they now?" After following Wei Suo and advancing for another thousand feet, Shopkeeper Qian and Shopkeeper Kong looked at each other and couldn't help but ask with doubt in their hearts. From their point of view, even a cultivator at the fifth level of the Aurous Core stage would not be able to detect anything more than 6,000 meters away. They were now beginning to suspect that Wei Suo was up to something.
Hearing the words of Shopkeeper Qian and Shopkeeper Kong, Wei Suo stopped. He turned around as if he wanted to explain something, but his eyes flashed a little at this moment.
"Pah!"
At the same time, right in front of them, several kilometers away, there was a clear sound of some sort of magical technique striking something hard. At the same time, there was a low, panicked cry that was obviously made by a cultivator.
"There's a cultivator here …" Shopkeeper Qian, Keeper Kong, and the others were all shocked speechless.
"Is this fellow Daoist friend here?" At this time, Wei Suo yelled towards the direction of the voice.
"Fellow Daoists, where are you from?" An obviously panicked voice came out.
"We are cultivators from Valley City." When Shopkeeper Qian saw the way Wei Suo looked at him, he was slightly stunned for a moment before he spoke.
"Cultivators from the Valley Mine City? "Fellow Daoist, you …" The other party's voice suddenly became somewhat strange.
"Fellow Daoist …" Could it be that you're Manager Zhang? " Manager Qian and Manager Kong seemed to have reacted at the same time, their bodies fiercely shook as they let out sounds of disbelief.
"Shopkeeper Qian!" It's really you? "And?" The other side immediately let out an extremely surprised sound.
"Manager Zhang, it's Kong Danian!" Shopkeeper Kong said in an extremely agitated voice.
"Manager Kong!" I didn't expect it to be you! I didn't expect to meet you here. But you guys be careful, I think there was a demon beast nearby. " The other side was also extremely excited, but then he nervously reminded him.
"The other two are very familiar with each other?" This sort of situation was something that Wei Suo did not expect.
Previously, he had used his unique connection with the Heart Devouring Bug to know that even though the other party had quite a number of people, their cultivation bases were not high. With just his Heart Devouring Bug, he was able to deal with them, so he was not the least bit nervous. However, he did not expect that the other party was actually an old acquaintance of Manager Kong and the others. Moreover, most shopkeepers were busy with business, so their cultivation level wouldn't be too high. However, he didn't expect that so many shopkeepers had managed to survive. There were already three shopkeepers among this many people.
"Shopkeeper Zhang is the shopkeeper of the Spirit Crystal Pavilion in Consonance City. We've met several times during the previous trade fairs, so our friends.h.i.+p isn't bad." I never thought that we would meet each other here. " Manager Qian nodded before taking a deep breath.
Nether City is south of True Nether City, and Consonance City is east of True Nether City. One went deeper into the northern part of the Profound Sky Continent, while the other went horizontally. However, there was also the Mu Tian City separating the Consonance City and the True Nether City. Now that Shopkeeper Zhang was here, it meant that Mu Tian City probably didn't exist anymore.
If that was the case, how many places had the beast tide had swept up this time? This was because just based on what everyone knew about these cities, even these areas alone were already one out of five northern parts of the Profound Sky Continent.
"Come, let's go meet them." Wei Suo was also very shocked in his heart, but the expression on his face didn't change much. After nodding at Shopkeeper Qian, Wei Suo continued to lead the way, advancing towards Shopkeeper Zhang and the others.
His spiritual sense covered a distance of ten thousand zhang, and the demonic beast he was talking about was his Heart Devouring Bug, so he didn't have too much scruples. Although Shopkeeper Qian's Golden Spirit Bee did not detect the existence of the Heart Devouring Bug, it was precisely because of this that Shopkeeper Qian and the rest felt that there were no high-grade demonic beasts in True Nether City. Therefore, they were not too worried as they proceeded forward. After all, with a few spirit rank or higher magic tools, they should be able to deal with a normal level five demon beast.
Moments later, the Heart Devouring Bug arrived at a distance of 200 feet away from Wei Suo without the slightest bit of knowledge from Owner Qian and the others. Wei Suo could feel that the two severed tentacles of his Heartworm hadn't fully healed yet. However, the rest of his tentacles weren't damaged at all, and were still full of vitality.
"Manager Zhang, I didn't think we would meet each other here!" Moments later, a group of cultivators appeared behind a pile of ruins. When Shopkeeper Qian, Shopkeeper Kong, and a thin old man wearing a dark green robe with a long beard looked at each other, they were so excited that they couldn't control themselves.
Wei Suo sized up the group of cultivators.
There were a total of seven cultivators in this group. Aside from manager Zhang in his dark green robe, there was a bearded middle-aged man in a bronze leather armor. He carried a scarlet long sword on his back, which was very eye-catching. The other five were young male cultivators who were not even thirty years old and were only at the fourth or fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, how did you end up here? Could it be that the Spirit Rhino City has been completely destroyed in the beast tide?" At the start, he was so excited that he was speechless, but after saluting the cultivator on Manager Zhang's side, he couldn't help but look at him and ask.
"The Consonance City has been completely destroyed. You guys actually came here as well. Could it be that Gu Mining City has always been here …" and it's all ruined? " Manager Zhang took a deep breath and calmed himself down. This thin old man looked as if his eyes were bloodshot, and his hair was a mess. He looked extremely haggard.
"Fellow Daoists, let's go back and chat. It's still not safe outside." The bearded middle-aged man wearing a bronze leather armor constantly looked around, and his expression was extremely solemn as he spoke.
"This is Fellow Daoist Zhou, a cultivator from the Ancient Sword Sect …"
"Fellow Ji is actually a cultivator from Northern Spiritual City?"
"Heavenly Beginner City, Valley Mining City, Northern Spiritual City, all these cities that have come here along the way have already …"
"Four surviving Daoists?"
"..."
Following that, Wei Suo and the others followed behind Shopkeeper Zhang and the others as they headed towards the back of True Nether City.
As they continued to advance, they continued to converse with one another. Wei Suo and the others knew that Consonance City had indeed been destroyed in the midst of the horde of beasts. Shopkeeper Zhang just so happened to want to transport a batch of alchemy goods to True Nether City. In the end, the beast tide had already arrived before he was even 10,000 miles away from True Nether City. He hid in a swamp area along the way for several days, and only then were they able to escape calamity. Right now, among the group of people, there were five young male cultivators who did not even look to be in their thirties. They were all the shop a.s.sistants who were s.h.i.+pping goods with him.
As for the other bearded middle-aged cultivator, it was only after they arrived at the vicinity of True Nether City did they meet him. This cultivator's name was Zhou Yu Pavilion, and he was a cultivator from Ancient Sword City in the center of Tianxuan Continent. However, he and a few other Fellow Daoists happened to be training near True Nether City in Tianxuan Continent. In the end, when they encountered the beast tide, only three of them were lucky enough to escape. However, on the way to True Nether City, Zhou Yu Pavilion's group of three also rescued two cultivators.
Right now, the other four cultivators were staying in a temporary residence that they had constructed in True Nether City. They had also constructed a formation that allowed them to conceal one's presence.
However, they didn't leave when they arrived at True Nether City. They had already stayed there for five days, but during these five days, they hadn't met any cultivators that survived.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, did you clean up all the Demonic Beasts in True Nether City?" When they were almost to the place where Manager Zhang and the others were hiding, Wei Suo couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, because we are afraid that the corpses of these demon beasts will attract some scavenger type demon beasts, so we slowly cleaned up all the demon beasts in True Nether City and piled them up in a valley behind True Nether City." Manager Zhang replied politely. In this sort of situation, every cultivator that survived seemed to have an intimate relations.h.i.+p with each other.
"They are all in the valley behind us?" A thought flashed through Wei Suo's mind. Just now, his Heart Devouring Bug had come from the rear of True Nether City, so it was very likely that he was in that valley, consuming the brain of a demon beast.
After a while, Shopkeeper Zhang and the others brought Wei Suo and the others to their hidden place in the True Nether City. Their hiding place was actually also located in an enormous, hollowed out tortoise sh.e.l.l.
This tortoise sh.e.l.l was even larger than the Purple Flame Beetle and was bright red in color. There were many flame patterns all over its body, and some fire fiendish aura was emanating from it.
This was the turtle sh.e.l.l of the mid-rank 6 beast, Scarlet Cliff Giant Turtle. There were many marks left on the surface of the tortoise sh.e.l.l by the impact of magic power. There were a few huge pits around it. At this moment, the tortoise sh.e.l.l was also located at the bottom of a pit. It seemed that this mid-level six beast was killed by a cultivator when True Nether City was in ruins.
"Eh?"
As he followed Shopkeeper Zhang and the others into the turtle sh.e.l.l, Wei Suo was slightly startled.
With a glance, he saw that the other four cultivators that Shopkeeper Zhang and the others were talking about were all inside this huge, emptied turtle sh.e.l.l. Amongst the four cultivators, there was a very elegant yellow robed female cultivator and another cultivator lying on the ground without moving. It seemed that his injuries were very serious.

(Uh-huh. And then there's the next really high... "This …" In addition, if you have followed my friends for many years, you will definitely know that I am a slow heat … Just fine. It won't be fast. So my hardcore fans should understand me very well, or the old saying, more patience. It was as if I had already started saying this when I was writing about a rogue expert. I said it many times because from then on, I said that if someone likes my style, they would like it. If not, they would find it difficult to like it. As for me, I just followed what I liked and worked so hard to write it down for a group of people who liked me. If I really can't understand, have no patience to endure my slow heat, then I also give some face. Don't be too harsh when reprimanding me … After all, I have written for so many years and I am already old. I am given some face because I am sure I can read the relevant comments. I can also be considered as one of the few authors who can read the rules and regulations. Things like trash and trash were too excessive, and there was no point in them having any substance to them. If they could not fight, then they would stop. Even a squeak is better than this. Mhmm, I miss the time when the evaluation site squeaked from time to time. In fact, from the beginning of my writing to now, my att.i.tude towards writing has never changed, and I feel that I am working harder myself, just that many of my friends seem to have changed a lot since then, and the atmosphere has also changed a lot … Could it be that the price had risen too much? Guo Meimei was also Lu Meimei's. Everyone was unable to vent their anger at all … )
