Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 144 The Dead City
Three days later, in Xuanwu Country, on top of a mountain in the Wan Yao Mountains, a young boy in white clothes stood quietly on the steep mountain top, gazing into the distance.

This handsome young man was Ye Xuan who returned to Xuanwu Kingdom on the Tongtian River boat.

At this moment, the star-jade pupils in Ye Xuan's eyes were turning, looking into the distance through the layers of dense forest.

Three days ago, after Ye Xuan successfully detoxified Mu Fanglan, the beautiful young woman suddenly embraced him in his arms.

Ye Xuan knew that he was the one who awakened her martial spirit and made her a warrior, allowing her to fulfill her dream of practicing and pursuing martial arts. So the woman was so excited that she couldn't help but throw herself into his arms.

But then, the woman immediately realized that something was wrong.

She was not a woman of soft, sexy, and vivacious temperament, nor did she want to throw herself into the arms of a man, so she was quite embarrassed for a moment.

Ye Xuan raised his hands and looked at them for a moment.

That day, these hands finally rolled over every inch of Mu Fanglan's jade-like skin with passion. The feeling of such smooth and warm skin could not be described in words.

Although Mu Fanglan was a reserved woman and was shocked when Ye Xuan's hands explored her body, she was full of gratitude to Ye Xuan and endured it silently. If Ye Xuan really wanted to do something to her at that time, she would probably not object.

But Ye Xuan finally gave up and did not take that final step.

Mu Fanglan saw that Ye Xuan was a young man with a strong character and his own ideals in martial arts. After the initial hesitation, she gave up.

Mu Fanglan also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gently. Ye Xuan's ability to do this also made her feel at ease that Ye Xuan would go further on the road of martial arts in the future.

The road of martial arts is full of dangers and murderous intentions, and since ancient times, many heroes and strong men have died in the murderous intentions behind beauty.

She felt that Ye Xuan had someone in his heart, and she thought that this woman must be an extremely outstanding woman. She was really happy for that woman, and even envious, for having a man who would stick to his principles for her.

Ye Xuan finally walked out of Mu Fanglan's room. After Guan Yu and others knew that Ye Xuan had successfully detoxified Mu Fanglan, they held a banquet on the river boat that night to celebrate. However, Ye Xuan and Mu Fanglan, the parties involved, acted as if nothing had happened.

"Let's go back to Qingyun Valley next." Ye Xuan murmured and walked down the mountain.

As he took a step, the features on his face quickly twisted and changed, until they were completely transformed, mysteriously turning into the appearance of a young man.

At this moment, Ye Xuan's face was exactly the same as Shi Kai, whom he killed in the secret realm.

During the last two days on the river boat, Ye Xuan stayed indoors and practiced the Huangquan Rebirth Technique.

The Huangquan Rebirth Technique is not a secret combat skill, it only allows the practitioner to change their bones, so it is not difficult to practice. Ye Xuan spent two days and was able to make a preliminary change to his appearance. Of course, it was only a slight change to the bones on his face, and it was still a long way from drastically changing the bones of the whole body.

Therefore, Ye Xuan chose Shi Kai, a disciple from Qingyun Valley whose figure was similar to his own.

Ye Xuan thought about it, then took out Shi Kai’s big sword from the ring and put it on his back.

The collapse of the secret realm this time was not entirely a bad thing for Ye Xuan. At least it saved him from having to hand over most of the resources he obtained in the secret realm to Qingyun Valley.

Ye Xuan returned to Qingyun Valley this time just for the "Art of Refining the Spirit"!
Ye Xuan walked briskly, with sand and rocks flying all the way. His movement speed was very fast, and at noon, he arrived at the outskirts of the Wan Yao Mountains.

On the horizon are tall and majestic mountains, dense trees and sparsely populated areas, but huge and ferocious beasts can often be seen.

"It's only half a day's journey to Qingyun Valley. In the past, I would see some disciples coming out to hunt monsters in this mountain range, but today I didn't encounter any."

Ye Xuan frowned and said to himself, "Remember, there is a small town not far from here called Gala City, which belongs to the sphere of influence of Qingyun Valley. After the disciples of Qingyun Valley hunt monsters, they often sell them there. I can go there to find out the current situation in Qingyun Valley."

Ye Xuan was cautious, and he didn't know that Qingyun Valley treated the disciples who left the secret realm and returned to the sect in this way. Would the Martial King Realm elders use their mental power to search the disciples, or use some other means to force the disciples to hand over the treasures they got in the secret realm?

I believe that most of the disciples are unwilling to hand over the treasures they obtained in the secret realm, and they may often hide them somewhere. However, as a martial arts sect, Qingyun Valley has unimaginable means. What if they use some psychedelic techniques to control the minds of the disciples and find the treasures?

Half an hour later, Ye Xuan arrived outside of Gala City.

"Huh?" But when Ye Xuan walked to the front of the city, he found something very strange!
The city gate was wide open, but there was no one in sight.

Although Gala City is only a small city, it is by no means desolate. Every year, tens of thousands of warriors go to the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountains for adventure. Most of them stay in Gala City temporarily to replenish healing pills and sell monster corpses, etc.

But why, today, there is no one to be seen, as if it is a dead city.

Ye Xuan thought of something vaguely and strode into the city.

"Such a strong smell of blood." Before entering the city, Ye Xuan could smell the bloody smell emanating from the city, mixed with the stench of decay.

Ye Xuan's reincarnation martial soul can devour the essence and blood of warriors, and he is particularly sensitive to blood.

"This is it!" As he stepped into the Gala City, Ye Xuan's face gradually darkened. Although he had already guessed it before, he was still slightly shocked.

There was no living person on the street.

Because, they are all dead bodies!
The dead bodies were lying on the ground in all directions, some old and some young, some hanging on the roof, some broken into pieces, with body parts scattered all over the ground...

They had obviously been dead for a long time and had been frozen. Their bodies were very shriveled and all the blood in their bodies had been drained.

Although the sun was shining brightly, it gave people an eerie and terrifying feeling, as if entering hell on earth.

"The Moon Worshiping Cult..."

It was as if an invisible giant hand was squeezing Ye Xuan's heart, and an endless chill enveloped him.

War is cruel!

Ye Xuan closed his eyes and stood in the city. When he opened his eyes again, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"You've been watching for so long, come out!" he said.

"Swish! Swish! Whoosh!" Just as Ye Xuan finished his words, four black shadows jumped down from an attic on the side of the road and came straight towards Ye Xuan.

There were four men in black robes covered in blood. Once they got close, they quickly spread out around Ye Xuan, surrounded him, and stared at him with unfriendly eyes.

Among these four people, the most conspicuous one is the middle-aged man with a vicious look in his eyes.

His body was filled with extremely heavy blood energy, and there was a long scar on his face. Behind him, a ferocious bloody face formed by blood energy kept roaring silently at Ye Xuan.
