As one of the three major states in Tianshen Continent, Lingshen Prefecture has an extremely vast territory.
Lingshen Pavilion is located in the center of the entire state. As long as Yun Xi and the others want to, there are many places around them that they can go to.
"Miss Yun, where do you want to go first?"
In the ice and snow, Yun Xi looked down at the bamboo slips in his hand and heard Gu Qingxian's question.
Yun Xi raised his head and said: "I see that the one causing chaos in Lingshen State now is a force called Yiyi Dao. According to the information that Elder Liang Congyan found before, this force seems to be operating most frequently in the northern part of Lingshen State.
, so it is more likely that their base camp is in the north."
"So let's go to the north first, settle this matter first, and feel more comfortable later."
Gu Qingxian nodded, she actually thought so too.
"But before that, we need to disguise ourselves a little bit." Yun Xi asked Gu Qingxian, "Do you have any extra clothes for the elders of Lingshen Pavilion? Lend me a set."
"Ah good."
Gu Qingxian hesitated for a moment, then took out a set of clothes and handed them to Yun Xi, saying, "The washed ones."
Yun Xi changed her clothes easily, then took out the disguise medicine and smeared it on her face, changing her appearance without leaving any trace of the original appearance.
Then she closed her eyes again and carefully prepared her momentum. After a while, she opened her eyes again. Her black and white eyes had become cold, and her originally agile temperament became cold, as if she was waiting for her to be sheathed.
The sharp sword that emerges has a restrained edge, but it is still vaguely visible.
Gu Qingxian and You Tingjing's eyes were shocked, and they looked quite surprised.
Because Yun Xi now gives the impression that he is an elder of Ling Shen Pavilion, serious and serious, with sharp sword intent.
The most important thing is that the aura that Yun Xi deliberately revealed at this time was only a small amount of luck.
Yun Xi said: "From today on, I will be the new elder of Lingshen Pavilion, Ye Xiao."
You Tingjing's face was full of interest and she asked: "What about me?"
Yun Xi glanced at her: "You? You Tingjing, a demon witch."
You Tingjing showed a dissatisfied look: "Why do I still have my own identity?"
Yun Xi sneered: "You still have the nerve to ask me? Why don't you try it yourself and see who you can pretend to be?"
You Tingjing heard the words and tried to keep a straight face, but within ten seconds, she couldn't help but smile, grabbed Yun Xi's arm, and said in a sweet tone: "No, I can't be serious at all~"
"So you should just be yourself honestly. The same goes for Qingxian. We can't pretend too much, so that if we encounter some other troubles, we will be hesitant to take action. Since Yi Dao can avoid it,
In addition to Ling Shen Pavilion’s own methods, the intelligence work is probably not bad either.”
Yun Xi said seriously: "So in the next period of time, I will control my realm to Yun Ling Xiaocheng. If I encounter trouble, I will trouble you."
Gu Qingxian nodded: "Okay."
With Gu Qingxian's status and strength, unless he encounters a powerful person at the level of killing spirits, it is unlikely that he will encounter trouble that cannot be solved.
You Ting asked quietly: "Then what is the purpose of our trip now? If Pavilion Master Mu's apprentice suddenly leaves Lingshen Pavilion, it will attract attention, right?"
Yun Xi thought for a while: "Just treat it as a medicine collector. Anyway, you haven't absorbed all the power in your body yet, so you can take this opportunity to make more preparations."
Youting listened quietly, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, she moved towards Yunxi, and drew circles on Yunxi's belly with her right index finger: "I knew that little Yunxi has always cared about her~"
"Can you get out of here?"
Yun Xi pushed You Tingjing away who looked "shy" and said to her seriously: "Please pay attention, don't forget my current identity. I am no longer Yun Xi."
You Tingjing held her delicate face with both hands: "People also like role-playing~"
"...You are hopeless. Qingxian, let's leave quickly."
"Um."
Gu Qingxian kept up with Yun Xi's pace, but she couldn't adapt to You Tingjing's temperament.
…
…
The wind was fierce, and less than half an hour after leaving Lingshen Pavilion, the heavy snow had disappeared, replaced by a storm of thick yellow sand.
After the elemental disorder, the environment of Tianshen Continent took a turn for the worse, with vegetation dying in many places and covered with a thick layer of yellow sand.
The storm blocked the view, and for the sake of caution, the speed of the three people also slowed down a lot.
You Xiyun felt this powerful storm. Even if she was as temperamental as she was, she still felt terrible about it: "Such a storm is really not something that ordinary people can withstand."
Gu Qingxian said in a helpless tone: "This is only when the storm is at its strongest. The biggest storm I have ever seen is enough to blow away the warriors at the top of the earth level. Ordinary people under such a storm are holding on to their big guns.
Trees will only fly to the sky with the trees. Lingshen Pavilion has invested a lot of resources in sheltering refugees over the years, but it still seems to be a drop in the bucket."
In the face of natural disasters, manpower is extremely small.
Yun Xi said: "There is nothing we can do about this. The number of ordinary people far exceeds the number of spiritual beings, and they also have problems with food, drink, and injuries. No one can completely guarantee the safety of these people.
"
You must know that even Chongxiao can only protect the Broken Moon Mountain Range.
It is too difficult to be a saint in this situation, because no matter how strong they are or how much resources they invest, they cannot change the fact that ordinary people are fragile.
After walking slowly in the storm for about a quarter of an hour, Yun Xi's brows suddenly raised. She turned to look at the ground and said, "There is someone."
The two of them looked at each other and noticed that there was a human aura in the storm. Not only that, they also noticed the aura of monsters.
"Go over and have a look."
Gu Qingxian made a decision immediately. As an elder of Lingshen Pavilion, she would not just sit idly by and ignore such a matter.
Through the violent wind and dust, they saw a low mountain. At the foot of the low mountain, there was a shoulder-width crack. Hidden in the crack were three people, a middle-aged couple, and a young man. The young man had a faint trace of...
The spiritual energy flowed out, and he was a warrior of the sixth level of heaven.
Outside the crack, three tall coyotes were staring at them with eager eyes. Their mouths were open and they were salivating. They obviously regarded these three people as their prey.
"Go away!"
Gu Qingxian shouted coldly, and a powerful aura spread out, frightening the three coyotes away.
The three people hiding in the crack were all happy when they heard voices coming from outside. However, the storm was too strong at this time, and they could not lift their heads under the pressure of dense wind and sand.
Gu Qingxian stepped forward, waved his hand, and launched a spiritual barrier, blocking all the surrounding storms.
"Come out."
The couple in the crack climbed out with difficulty with the help of the young man. When the three of them saw the clothes on Gu Qingxian and Yun Xi, their eyes suddenly lit up.
He quickly and respectfully shouted: "Sir, I have seen Ling Shen Pavilion!"
Gu Qingxian frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
The three of them looked at each other and stopped talking.
Gu Qingxian said in a deep voice: "I am the elder of Lingshen Pavilion. Just tell me what is going on with you!"
As soon as they heard that Gu Qingxian was the elder, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
The young man among them said: "Sir Elder, we are here... to catch monsters."
"Catch monsters? You three?"
A heaven-level warrior and an ordinary couple over fifty years old?
The young man explained: "My sister got sick a few days ago, but the cost of medicine is too expensive now. We can't afford it at all, so we can only come out and find a way. Unexpectedly, as soon as we came out, we encountered such a big storm.
We lost our way and accidentally encountered three powerful mutated coyotes."
The young man said with a sad expression, and the couple behind him also had tears in his eyes.
Gu Qingxian asked in confusion: "Which shelter are you from?"
"It's from Baiteng City."
"Baiteng City? I remember that they provide free medicine supplies to refugees every month, right? You didn't get it?"
The young man hesitated for a moment, and then said: "We looked for it, but they said that the free medicine has been used up. If you want it, you can only exchange it with money. We have just paid the protection fee these years.
It’s very hard, how can I still afford medicine..."
Yun Xi's expression was slightly different: "You actually have to pay protection fees?"
The young man said: "If you don't pay the protection fee, you won't be able to enter the shelter."
Gu Qingxian's face darkened slightly. Today was the first time that Yun Xi and You Tingjing traveled with her. They originally planned to visit Lingshen State. Who would have thought that they would see something like this in just two hours.
She said: "It's too dangerous outside. Please come with us to Baiteng City first."
"But that medicine..."
"I'll pay for the medicine for you!"
"Many, thank you, sir!!"
The three of them burst into tears of gratitude and kept bowing to Gu Qingxian.
Gu Qingxian had no intention of caring about this. He just waved his hand and the six people immediately flew in the direction of Baiteng City.
On the first flight, the three of them stood gingerly behind Gu Qingxian. Through the brief exchange just now, they also realized that the one who talked the most seemed to be the eldest among the three.
Yun Xi glanced at the three people, who quickly lowered their heads and took a few steps back. Yun Xi and the others were all very good-looking, and because of this, they did not dare to look any further.
Yun Xi came to Gu Qingxian and lowered her voice: "It seems that there may be something wrong with the rescue station in Baiteng City."
Gu Qingxian said helplessly: "Actually, in recent years, this kind of situation is not uncommon. There are always people who take advantage of disasters to make more money. Even if we know that such cats and dogs exist in many places, we are unable to stop them.
.”
You Tingjing raised her eyebrows and said slightly surprised: "In this Lingshenzhou, are there any places that you, Lingshenzhou, don't care about?"
Gu Qingxian explained: "Although Lingshen Pavilion has a transcendent status in Lingshen State, in the final analysis it is just a sectarian force. We are responsible for ensuring the overall stability of Lingshen State, but the more low-level jurisdiction is still managed by local governments.
Forces to control it. Although those forces submit offerings to Lingshen Pavilion every year, in the final analysis they can only be regarded as affiliates of Lingshen Pavilion and do not completely belong to Lingshen Pavilion."
"Therefore, we cannot interfere too much in many things. Since the seal of Tianshen Continent was damaged and the elements began to be disordered, we have established shelters in various places, but the main management of the shelters has been handed over to local forces. We will send people
We can station them and provide certain resource assistance, but it is unrealistic to ask them to do exactly what we want."
"When it comes to fighting, we think we are invincible. But in this case, the management arrangements for ordinary people... we may not be able to do better than those people. Even if we can, we don't have so many manpower and energy."
Tianshen Continent is different from Tianling. In this mixed spirit world, Tianling can refer to both "Tianling Continent" and "Tianling Alliance".
Compared with other continents, Tianling is actually a complete country. The Tianling Alliance is in charge of everything in this country, including the city lord's palace, city protection army, law enforcement team of each state and county... Those who are not the inner disciples of the Tianling Alliance
They are the members of the outer hall. They bear the label of the Tianling Alliance and enjoy the treatment within the alliance. Therefore, once they make a mistake, the Tianling Alliance has the power to punish them.
But in Tianshen Continent, whether it is Lingshen Pavilion or Zhaotian Sect Shouzun Valley, they are only one force in the final analysis. They are very strong, but being strong does not mean that they can manage a huge territory and become this
The real owner of the land.
Here, there are countless large and small forces, each of which is on its own side. On top of these large, medium and small forces, the balance is maintained by the three top forces.
Now that the disaster is coming to the Tianshen Continent, these local snakes play an even greater role than the three major forces, because they are the only ones who are closer to ordinary people and understand better the environment in their respective regions and how to deal with the disaster.
Under such a premise, if some of them are greedy and selfish, should Lingshen Pavilion just kill them without hesitation?
If some places are simply left in ruins by then, regardless of the life and death of ordinary people, can Lingshen Pavilion take care of it?
Since you want to use people, you can't help but give them some benefits.
Listening to Gu Qingxian's explanation, the two of them also understood the situation in the Tianshen Continent. Indeed, if forces like Lingshen Pavilion were allowed to fight, there would probably be few in the entire Hunling World who could match them. But if
Governing a territory is not their strong point.
Moreover, forces like them generally do not deliberately have too much contact with ordinary people.
Gu Qingxian sighed: "Actually, it's better just to collect some money. In some places, there are even cases of oppressing people with power, committing crimes, rape and robbery. In the past few years, Shenyuetang has come forward for this many times...
…”
…
After a short journey, a tall city wall suddenly appeared in front of several people.
Gu Qingxian immediately slowed down and said, "We're here, this is Baiteng City."
Yun Xi raised her head. The storm did not stop just because they arrived at the city. Instead, it became more violent. However, relying on her strong eyesight and spiritual awareness, she still saw the words "Baiteng City" engraved on the city wall.
Three words, but these three words are not clear now.
It would be better to say that this city wall is like this now, with countless scratches and cracks. The city is like an old man who has been weathered, crumbling, and will fall down when pushed.
"This is the case in many cities now. In the face of natural disasters, city walls cannot be used as a shelter and can only rely on spiritual formations. The shelter in Baiteng City is located in the center of the city. The area is not small, but it gathers the entire city's people together.
It will seem extremely small. You have to be mentally prepared."
Gu Qingxian explained to the two of them in a low voice. The wind and sand roared all around, and the sharp sound was harsh. The three of them couldn't hear their conversation at all.
Yun Xi nodded, and You Tingjing had an indifferent attitude.
She is not a good old person like Yun Xi, she just simply likes Yun Xi.
