I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 346 Walking into a Trap (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

After flying all night, Jiang Yi and Hua Luosha finally saw a city located at the end of the swamp.

Before dawn, miasma filled the swamps surrounding the city. Occasionally, dark shadows would skim across the water, whether poisonous insects or wandering spirits, before sinking back into the depths of the swamp.

At the city gate, cultivators came and went, most of them dressed in gray-black robes, with sinister faces and a faint ghostly aura surrounding them.

Most of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators. They walked hurriedly, their eyes were wary, and they kept their distance from each other. Occasionally, one or two Golden Core cultivators would streak across the sky above the city.

Jiang Yi took Hua Gu back to Youxian Ferry and hid in the shadows with Hua Luosha to observe for half an hour.

There are clearly many heretical cultivators here; there are guards at the city gate checking tokens.

Hua Luosha sighed, "Look at the tolerance of the Eastern Continent. Evil cultivators can walk in the daytime, unlike the Northern Xuan. Under your mother's rule, evil cultivators die as soon as they show their faces."

Jiang Yi remained silent. Rules are meant to protect the weak. Here, without rules, only the strong are respected.

"Let's go, we've been looking for so long."

Hua Luosha was about to leave when Jiang Yi stopped her, signaling her to wait a little longer.

Although both were at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, Jiang Yi's spiritual sense range was more than twice that of Hua Luosha.

As Hua Luosha was puzzled, three green streaks of light rushed from the direction they came from and landed at the entrance of Sui City. They were a late-stage Golden Core cultivator and two mid-stage Golden Core cultivators, dressed in black robes and wearing hoods, so their faces could not be seen.

But his attire and aura are the same as the old man before, clearly indicating that he is an evil cultivator from the Ghost Night Sect.

The leader, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, walked straight to the guards and gave them a few instructions. The guards immediately took action, and a ghostly shadow on their bodies burrowed into the ground. In just two or three breaths, the entire city of Sui was sealed off by a water-like barrier.

Jiang Yi whispered, "The Ghost Night Gate people have discovered us. Their accents are different from ours. Be careful from now on."

She did cause quite a commotion at the beach. The people of Ghost Night Sect already knew that cultivators from the north had come to Duizhou, so they would definitely guess that it was the cultivators from the north who killed their fellow disciples.

Suicheng is closest to the sea, so it's normal for the Northern Xuan cultivators to come to Suicheng first to gather information, and it's perfectly reasonable for them to seal off the city.

"It seems we'll have to settle in another city."

Jiang Yi concealed his aura and prepared to leave, but found that Hua Luosha stood still.

"I……"

"goodbye!"

Hua Luosha's eyes widened as she saw that this unfaithful woman didn't try to stop her at all, and turned to leave.

Jiang Yi received a proper education from a young age and her way of dealing with people and things is always based on righteous principles.

Hua Luosha struggled at the bottom of the cultivation world from a young age, and because she had no backing, she suffered countless hardships.

Therefore, compared to the righteous territory with its rules, Hua Luosha prefers the gathering place of evil cultivators who are unrestrained and only judge strength, not to mention that she has not yet obtained the corpse refining method of the Ghost Night Sect.

The Flower Demon doesn't have such foresight or meticulous future planning; she always just goes with the flow.

"Jiang Heying, don't forget about me. Once I make a name for myself, I'll be your backer."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi stepped back and stuffed a jade slip into Hua Luosha's hand.

"Once you've made it big enough, help me find my junior brother. His appearance and features are all in the jade slip. Send a message to the Tai Xuan Sect in Qianzhou if you have any news."

Hua Luosha clutched the jade slip, her temple twitching. "I confessed my true feelings to you, and you ask me to find you another man? Jiang Heying, you've disappointed me so much!" Jiang Yi's lips curled slightly as he gently embraced Hua Luosha, whispering solemnly in her ear, "No matter what, you must live. Remember that?"

"That's more like it. If you encounter a problem, you should know when to back down and prioritize your life. Don't act impulsively like you used to. You're the only friend I, Hua Luosha, have."

"Ok!"

Jiang Yi and Hua Luosha parted ways. Jiang Yi used the Leaf Obscuring Eyes technique to become invisible and fled towards Qianzhou on her sword.

Hua Luosha took out the identity token of the old man from Guiyemen and turned to walk into the depths of the swamp.

……

Jiang Yi was concerned about her fellow disciples in the Cangling Sect, as well as Yao Yao and Luo Qingsi. She had no interest in sightseeing and continued on her way as long as her true essence did not run out.

Adhering to the principle of caution, Jiang Yi would occasionally rest in seclusion deep within the swamps and wetlands, observing the cultivators of Duizhou more and contacting them less, while learning their accents.

The news that a large number of Northern Xuan cultivators have entered the Eastern Continent will spread sooner or later. When the cultivators of the Eastern Continent find out what happened in Northern Xuan, they will surely think that the Northern Xuan cultivators came to the Eastern Continent with their wealth. At that time, the Northern Xuan cultivators will be seen as fat sheep in the eyes of the cultivators of the Eastern Continent, and there will be no reason not to slaughter them.

Jiang Yi learned on the way that the Shuiyue Palace in Duizhou was a sect mainly composed of female cultivators who specialized in water magic and formations. The sect was located in Crescent Lake in the center of Duizhou's waters, and nearby Crescent Lake was Duicheng, the largest city in Duizhou.

Dui City has no teleportation array, and the same is true for other states. None of the main cities have teleportation arrays. To travel to other states, one can only fly through the air and cross the border.

With a Void Refinement cultivator presiding over the Water Moon Palace, Jiang Yi remembered the tortoise's instructions in the Lazy Immortal Shrine and naturally wouldn't approach.

Once a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage discovers that she possesses innate Origin Qi, who knows whether she will be captured and used as a furnace or refined into pills? This power, the origin of all things, is a power that points directly to the fundamental Dao.

Let alone cultivators at the Void Refinement stage, even those at higher levels such as Integration Stage, Tribulation Transcending Stage, or Mahayana Stage might not be spared.

Unfortunately, the old tortoise did not tell her how to conceal it.

As Jiang Yi traveled eastward, he made himself more and more like a local rogue cultivator from Duizhou in every way, fabricating a whole set of backgrounds for himself, from his birth to his cultivation and growth.

After being teleported from a small town with a teleportation array to the border town of Duizhou, and then following a passing caravan through the mountains and valleys between Duizhou and Qianzhou, it took three months to finally enter the territory of Qianzhou.

The geography and climate of Qianzhou are very similar to those of Xuan Ying Sword Sect. It is snowy all year round, and the landscape is full of snow-capped mountains and ice fields. The area is vast but desolate.

The caravan stopped for a rest in a border town west of Qianzhou. Jiang Yi, dressed in animal skin hunting attire, carrying the Broken Robbery Sword, and speaking with a standard Duizhou accent, accompanied and protected the caravan.

After entering the city, the guards' mission was considered complete. The caravan leader was quite good; he promptly settled the agreed-upon reward of five thousand spirit stones.

In the Eastern Continent, there is no distinction between high, medium, and low grade spirit stones. The spirit stones used are equivalent to medium grade spirit stones in the Northern Profound Realm. It is said that lower quality spirit stones are worthless, while higher quality spirit stones are controlled by various sects and forces and are used for cultivation and array setting. They are not circulated outside the region.

Jiang Yi found the border town tavern, intending to inquire about the Tai Xuan Sect, but to her surprise, everyone was discussing the Tai Xuan Sect as soon as she entered.

Jiang Yi ordered a pot of warming spirit wine and sat quietly in a corner, listening to the Foundation Establishment cultivators talk.

"...What kind of profit could there be in that godforsaken place like Beixuan?"

"Hey, you can't say that. There are at least nine major sects, twenty or thirty Nascent Soul cultivators, and some ancient inheritances. If the Tai Xuan Sect takes over them all this time and develops them for a hundred or two hundred years, they may be able to join the ranks of the top sects in Qianzhou."

"Those country bumpkins from Beixuan originally came to seek refuge, but they ended up walking right into a trap. If they were willing to submit, that's fine, but if they weren't, they were all sent to mine. Hahaha."

"I heard that a few Nascent Soul cultivators ran away with their men. The Qian Tian Sect has issued a warrant for their arrest. Anyone who finds a Northern Xuan cultivator and provides information will receive 500 spirit stones. Do you think those Northern Xuan cultivators might come to our border town so we can make some money?"

In the corner, Jiang Yi clenched his fists, his face deathly pale.
