Chapter 316 Sneaking into the Dark Forest

"The person who went there threatened you and made it clear that your original intention was not to harm Mo Qiu, but to settle the cause and effect.

He would only reveal Mo Qiu's hiding place if it was beneficial to his relatives. This place is very interesting, you can see for yourself." Fairy Ye said with a smile.

Jin Ziming took the note and couldn't help but be shocked. The guy was actually hiding outside the dark forest. This was the place where he first set foot on the path to immortality.

"There is only a town of a thousand people there, what is he doing there?"

"Zi Ming, back then that town annexed many surrounding towns and extended its jurisdiction into the outskirts of the forest. The area was much larger and it has been renamed Tongfeng City."

"Ah, what a big change."

"The clan has already checked that Tongfeng is located on the edge of the Western Golden Realm, and the major cultivation forces have very weak control over it.

In the past hundred years or so, it has become a paradise for monks, fugitives and thugs.

Various forces are entrenched on the road, and incidents such as land grabs, assassinations, and robberies occur one after another, making it a place of complete chaos."

"Ranyi, how about we go back to the place where we first met? I miss the dark forest."

"Okay, it's time to go take a look. It just so happens that I have stabilized my cultivation and can go out for some fresh air." Ye Ranyi smiled brightly, as bright as spring.

In Jin Ziming's heart, he couldn't help but recall the fairy in white he saw at the bottom of the lake when he was a boy. It was really amazing.

The two looked at each other and smiled, emotions surging in their hearts, but everything was in silence.

In the courtyard of the Ye family, under the sycamore tree, a man puts his arms around the beautiful woman's shoulders, and the setting sun shines on them both, giving them a golden sheen.

The young couple left all wedding preparations to the Ye family, and set off the next day to start their "honeymoon" trip in advance. After several teleportations and flights, they arrived at Tongfeng City.

Ye Xianzi's appearance is too shocking, and the reckless man is also exposed as a celebrity.

In desperation, he had to change his appearance and breath again, dressing up as an ordinary young couple. Ye Ranyi even suppressed his cultivation to the late Nascent Soul stage.

The city gate was guarded by a golden elixir and several foundation-building and Qi-refining monks. He felt the deep aura of the two men and knew that Zhenren Yuanying was here, so he naturally did not dare to make any mistakes.

Jin Ziming followed the rules and paid the spirit stones honestly, and then he and Ranyi entered the city.

In the past, the small town of Tongfeng had only one small street dotted with scattered shops, apart from the smoke-filled farms and the yellow and green fields.

Now it has become a medium-sized city that is beginning to take shape. The streets are clean and there are many shops. It gives people a very safe feeling and is not at all chaotic and disorderly as imagined.

Jin Ziming was a little surprised. He held Yi Ren's little hand and wandered on the street, not in a hurry to find Mo Qiu.

When they passed a building with the Tianxiahui logo engraved on it, the man stopped.

"Ranyi, I guess Moqiu has probably joined some gang organization."

"This is the only way out for him to hang out here."

The two looked at each other, nodded slightly, and walked into the lobby on the first floor of the Tianxia Club together.

A young foundation-building shopping guide came forward. This woman was wearing a green dress and had a beautiful face. She asked softly:

"Seniors, what do you need? Luhe can serve you."

"Girl, I just want an introduction to the various forces in Tongfeng City and their latest developments." Jin Ziming said with a smile.

"Oh, it's very simple. It can be provided on the first floor. You only need to pay twenty low-priced spirit stones for the distribution of forces in this city, and the little girl can tell you their recent situation without paying."

"Okay, then let me help you, girl."

"Senior, please wait a moment." Lu He turned and left, quickly brought back a book and handed it to Jin Ziming.

After the mangy man paid the corresponding spiritual stones, the woman said obediently:

"Two seniors, you can go to the tea break area to have a cup of tea and read the information in the brochure. Then I will explain it more clearly."

Jin Ziming nodded, very satisfied with her arrangement, and sat down to read with his fiancée.

There are actually dozens of large and small gangs in Tongfeng City, divided into three echelons: large, medium and small, forming a tree-shaped structure.

There are three largest forces, each with two to four medium-sized organizations, each controlling a varying number of small gangs.

Those three behemoths are the Jade Dragon Gang, Black Sea Gate and Demon Ridge. The first two are mostly composed of righteous cultivators, while the last one is mainly composed of demonic cultivators.

The headquarters of these three companies are all built in the dark forest, and they only have offices in Tongfeng City.

They jointly make rules and manage the city together, and the profits they receive are distributed in proportion.

For those who violate the rules in the city, the punishment is extremely cruel, so the public security is orderly; but once you leave the city and enter the dark forest, there are no rules and you can kill at will.

The leaders of the three parties are all powerful in combination, and the generals under their command are mainly Nascent Soul.

There is also a map in the book, which marks the division of territory of these forces and the location of the main altar.

Jin Ziming's pupils shrank and he discovered that the small lake that Ranyi and he were attached to was actually included in the main altar of the Black Sea Gate.

The considerate Lu He saw the two of them finished browsing and immediately came over and said:

"Although the two seniors are very powerful, Lu He still boldly suggests that it is best not to go out of the city to the dark forest in the near future."

"Why?" Ye Ranyi asked in surprise.

"In more than twenty days, there will be a 'bloody fight' held every five years by the three major forces. It will be a life-and-death competition and it will be very bloody.

Recently, all three parties have been recruiting fighters to participate in the war, and spies are also busy gathering information about each other.

Therefore, the situation in that area is very tense, and if you are not careful, you may be killed."

Jin Zi thanked the shopping guide who performed well and left Tianxiahui with Ye Xianzi.

"Ranyi, I didn't expect that the connection of the master contract is much stronger than the soul detection. I just tried it and I sensed Mo Qiu. He is in the dark forest.

With your skills and magical weapons, as long as you don't encounter a mid-to-high-level fusion power, you can probably escape unscathed, why don't we take a trip?"

Ye Ranyi smiled softly and said sweetly: "Zi Ming, you decide. I just want to see the small lake back then."

Jin Ziming lamented that the fairies who were usually cold and cold have now become more supple. It seems that the upcoming wedding can make women more gentle and lovely.

It was already noon, and the two of them left the city gate and headed towards the dark forest in the northwest.

Since it was an extraordinary period, they chose to walk in a low-key way. Compared with the past, a lot of changes had taken place along the way, but as they continued to move forward, the man finally regained some memories.

On the way, they encountered two groups of people going shopping. Seeing that they were Yuanying Zhenren, they all looked over nervously.

But the young couple only wanted to move forward and had no intention of participating in the war. Only then did those people relax and continue to fight for their lives.

Finally, they entered the dark forest, and Jin Ziming said playfully: "Ranyi, Moqiu is in the area where I used to live. He probably joined the Black Sea Sect."

"Can he sense you?"

"Unless I take the initiative to summon him, the soul slave cannot feel the master's approach. This is an unequal contract."

"Well, let's find a place, hide ourselves first, and then look for him after dark."

"good."

The two people had strong spiritual consciousness and quickly understood the surrounding situation. In addition, the man was very familiar with this place and easily avoided humans and beasts and entered deeper.

The two of them came to a cliff, and Jin Ziming used the cold moon to carve out a cave on the mountain wall and hide himself.

As night fell slowly, the two of them broke out of the wall and sneaked into the main altar of the Black Sea Gate.

They finally came to the small lake that they dreamed of, and found that many houses had been built around it, as well as some pavilions, rockeries and other landscapes. The originality and tranquility of the year had long since disappeared.

In a large hall, there was singing and dancing, and a man with a beard and a beard in the early stage of integration, holding a wine glass, sat in the middle, with his capable subordinates on both sides.

Moqiu is still at the peak level of Nascent Soul Dzogchen and has not been able to break through to integration. He sits in the first place on the right.

A group of young women covered in gauze danced in the field, making various seductive gestures that made people's blood flow.

There was a little boss who couldn't stand it, so he directly pulled the woman dancing in front of him into his arms and molested her in public, which made his friends laugh.

This is a group of low-level female cultivators who are so shameless. Jin Ziming is fine, but Fairy Ye frowns and is extremely disgusted.

"Ranyi, the gang members of Black Sea Sect are gathered together now. This is not the time to talk to Mo Qiu. How about we go to the bottom of the lake first and see Lei Zhenxiao's cave?"

"OK."

There were monks patrolling all around, but with their cultivation, it was impossible to be discovered. In the darkness, they used an aura mask and sneaked into the lake quietly.

This lake is very familiar to the rough man. Without any light, he can find the original entrance by memory in the dark.

Fairy Ye took out a very small luminous pearl, and the soft light lit up. Wherever she looked, there was no gate to the cave. There was only a dark cave entrance with floating water plants.

The two looked at each other, and Fairy Ye noticed that her fiancé's eyes were gloomy, so she couldn't help but squeeze his right hand harder to show comfort.

Without saying a word, Jin Ziming activated his spiritual energy and pushed away the water plants and mud around him. As soon as he entered the cave, he found a lot of debris wrapped in soil on the ground. It was obvious that someone had broken open the door with force.

Continuing forward, he finally emerged from the water. When he saw the pool where the soul lotus was born, Jin Ziming turned to look at Ranyi, and a ray of tenderness finally appeared in his eyes.

The two of them stopped for a while and then walked hand in hand to the stone room at the end. The situation inside was exactly the same as the worst situation the man had expected before entering the cave.

The stone bed has been shattered, a large hole has been dug in the ground, Lei Zhenxiao's bones are shattered on the ground, and his ax has been taken away.

The mangy man looked cold as he stepped forward to put the stone bed and bone fragments into a ring. He felt anger welling up in his chest and could not calm down for a while.

Ye Ranyi did not say any words to comfort him, but silently patted him on the shoulder.

After a while, Jin Ziming turned around, walked out of the cave, and landed on the shore. He found that the group was still having fun, so he took Fairy Ye towards the hill not far away.
