The strange beasts retreated, and the whole city rejoiced.
Ju Cheng's face flushed and he loudly ordered: "Open the city gate and welcome the heroes!"
Zhuo Yifan, however, sat cross-legged, turning a deaf ear to the overwhelming cheers and turning a blind eye.
The blood all over the ground would dissipate into the void if it was not absorbed. Of course he didn't want to let it go.
As for the source crystals from the dead alien beasts, he did not absorb them anymore. After all, there were several alien beasts lying on the ground. If they were found to have turned into ordinary spiritual beasts, they would definitely be suspected.
Everyone stood by the city gate and did not approach Zhuo Yifan, because everyone knew what kind of battle Zhuo Yifan had gone through and his physical strength must have been seriously exhausted. It would be really weird if he didn't recover at this moment.
Qingxuan also walked out of the cave, guarding vigilantly in front of Zhuo Yifan, preventing anyone from approaching him.
Zhuo Yifan is not trying to absorb the essence and blood energy. His main purpose is to refine the absorbed essence and blood energy and completely refine it into the source power needed by the devil's heart, that is, spiritual power.
In addition, he also needs to understand the rules of the male-level beasts he has absorbed.
This sitting lasted for three days. Many Mahayana masters, including Li Qing, were waiting on one side without any complaints.
Three days later.
Zhuo Yifan opened his eyes, looked at the dozen Mahayana masters at the city gate, and nodded slightly.
He does not resent Gu Cheng for not opening the city gates. If it were him, he would make the same choice for the safety of millions of people behind him.
After all, even so, if Zhuo Yifan hadn't turned the tide and repelled the orc army, Qingtian City would have been in danger at this moment.
"Brother Zhuo, are you... okay?" Qingxuan asked with concern.
"I'm fine, let's go, let's go to the city to find your master." Zhuo Yifan pulled out the fangs stuck in the ground and said easily.
"It's strange. There has been no news from the master since the last contact. I wonder how she is doing now." Qingxuan said a little depressed.
Although she was sure that Shen Moyun was fine at the moment, the intermittent feeling still made her a little worried.
"Don't worry, Palace Master Shen is blessed with good fortune and everything will be fine." Zhuo Yifan comforted her softly. Of course he knew that Shen Moyun would be fine. People who can sense the source of power can be called peerless geniuses. Such geniuses, and
How could something happen?
"Brother Zhuo's power is rare in the world. On behalf of the tens of millions of people in Qingtian City, I would like to thank Brother Zhuo for helping to scare away the beasts." Ju Cheng walked up with a face full of enthusiasm, with a big beard that looked like ancient China.
Li Kui.
Zhuo Yifan didn't feel dissatisfied and said calmly: "Brother Ju, you don't have to be polite. My presumptuous visit this time actually has a purpose."
Ju Cheng was stunned: "I don't know what Brother Zhuo is doing? But if you need it, just ask, Brother Zhuo, please come!"
Everyone walked towards the city together.
Naturally, someone will take care of the dead beasts on their behalf.
"I wonder if Brother Dao saved a human woman from the outside world a few years ago."
"From time to time, outside monks wander in here by mistake. I wonder which one Brother Zhuo is talking about?"
"The master of Qianji Palace, Shen Moyun, cultivated in the Mahayana period."
Ju Cheng's expression changed drastically, and he said in surprise: "It turns out that Brother Zhuo came here for her, and now we are in trouble."
Zhuo Yifan's face condensed: "What? Is there something wrong?"
Ju Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "Three years ago, we did rescue Palace Master Shen from the hands of alien beasts. Because of this, a large amount of our source crystals were consumed, which made us lack of combat power, so we stayed behind closed doors."
Zhuo Yifan was stunned: "Does this have anything to do with Palace Master Shen's current situation?"
"Palace Master Shen felt sorry and decided to explore the secret realm for us to obtain the Source Crystal. Who knew that after going there, he still hasn't come out until now." Gu Cheng said with a face full of shame.
Zhuo Yifan was stunned: "Is there a secret realm in Qingtian City that contains source crystals?"
Ju Chengdao: "Brother Zhuo is not an outsider, so I won't hide it. In fact, this city was not built by us monks. We were just occupying the magpie's nest. In the beginning, this was just a place for explorers. It is located in a natural barrier and supply point, blocked by a huge city, and strange beasts dare not approach the city for hundreds of miles."
"It's natural for everyone to live in the city. They practice and live, and usually go out to hunt lion rock beasts. That is the happiest time for all cultivators. Their cultivation has skyrocketed, they have abundant source crystals, and there is no shortage of battle armor. energy."
"But the good times did not last long. A hundred years later, Qingtian City suddenly stopped operating. The familiar environment disappeared. The inside of the city became the same as outside the city, and no one could feel the slightest spiritual power anymore. Only then did everyone panic. Just here At that time, an expert came and told everyone that the reason why this city is completely different from the outside is because there is a super formation underground, which can absorb the mysterious power of this world and convert it into the spiritual energy needed by the monks, but But it requires a large amount of source crystals as a power source."
"Without the threat of the city, the alien beasts began to approach gradually, and the threat became more and more serious. Everyone had to take out their source crystals and let the experts rearrange the formation, and then the city was maintained."
"But as a result, everyone's living environment suddenly changed. In order to protect the only gathering place, they had to hunt more lion rock beasts, which made the relationship between them become more and more tense. Until fire and water become incompatible."
Gu Cheng sighed: "This situation is getting more and more serious as time goes by. The alien beasts are growing, but it is getting more and more difficult for us. It is already very difficult to kill them. Until now, we can't even kill them." There are not enough source crystals to maintain the battle, and the city defense formation only dares to be activated when the beast herd attacks."
Zhuo Yifan frowned and said, "So, if the beast herd attacks next time, you won't be able to defend it?"
"Yes." There was a trace of sadness in Gu Cheng's eyes: "I have been trapped here for two thousand years, and I no longer have hope. I just hope that my descendants can live a peaceful life under the protection of the guardian. Now it seems that, This will also become a luxury.”
Zhuo Yifan said: "There will be no intact eggs under the overturned nest. If the city is destroyed, humankind will perish. Don't you have any measures?"
Ju Cheng said: "Yes, that means someone has entered the secret realm. It is said that there is a secret to save mankind. As long as we obtain this secret, we will be able to achieve liberation."
Zhuo Yifan frowned and said, "After all these years, haven't any of you gone in?"
"Of course, the first thing that almost any outsider does when they arrive at Qingtian City is to go straight to this secret place. However, only those who are destined to enter can enter, and those who enter may not be able to succeed."
Zhuo Yifan said in surprise: "Shen Moyun just entered the secret realm, right?"
"Exactly, after Palace Master Shen entered Qingtian City, he took the initiative to go to the secret place to try to find a way to save everyone." Ju Cheng took a deep look at Zhuo Yifan: "Three days ago, Palace Master Shen News actually came out that she finally found a way to save everyone."
