When Boss Xu discovered the cultivator, he was not in the inn, but curled up in the ruined temple of Blackwater City, shivering with cold and dying.
In the world of cultivation, it is impossible for a cultivator to get to this point. If a cultivator gets to this point, then there is only one possibility. This cultivator is so weak that he no longer has the ability to rob homes and homes.
Boss Xu originally planned to give the cultivator some money to buy the map. Unfortunately, a few days ago, when the cultivator was asleep, the map was stolen by a group of wanderers along with the salute.
After questioning, Boss Xu decided to bring the cultivator to Zhao Yuan and let Zhao Yuan make a decision.
After some self-cultivation, taking a hot bath and drinking fresh broth, the cultivator's pale face became much more rosy, and a trace of heroism actually appeared between his eyebrows, which restored some vitality.
When Zhao Yuan walked into the room and saw the cultivator, he was stunned because he knew this cultivator.
Wu Yifan.
Back then, when Zhao Yuan went to the Black Forest for training for the first time, he was with Wu Yifan.
After not seeing each other for several years, Zhao Yuan could not have imagined that Wu Yifan would fall to such a level. It was really unbelievable. You must know that Wu Yifan back then was full of energy and high spirits. His whole person was like an unsheathed sword, with his sharp edge exposed. He was a hero in the world.
Whose spirit do I have?
"Zhao Yuan!" Wu Yifan, who was lying in bed, struggled to sit up and looked at the mighty Zhao Yuan with a look of surprise on his face.
"It's okay." Zhao Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, gently patted Wu Yifan's shoulder and said comfortingly.
"It's really you!" Looking at the group of solemn-looking iron-blooded soldiers gathered behind Zhao Yuan, Wu Yifan showed a wry smile on his face.
"Is there a problem?" Zhao Yuan was stunned, he didn't understand.
"I have always suspected that the Zhao Yuan I know is not the undefeated God of War Zhao Yuan of the Great Qin Empire. Now, it is confirmed. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, I have become famous all over the world, and I..." Wu Yifan showed a trace of disappointment on his face.
color.
"Brother Wu..." Zhao Yuan was about to say a few words of relief, but stopped immediately. He knew very well that for a proud and arrogant person like Wu Yifan, any words he said were unnecessary.
"General, do you want that map?" Wu Yifan cleared his throat. At this time, he had changed his title. He knew very well that the current Zhao Yuan, who had all the power in the world, was no longer the Zhao Yuan of the past.
"Yes."
"Hey...it's a pity that I fell asleep and my bag was stolen..."
"It's okay. Brother Wu's safety can't be compared to a mere map." Zhao Yuan didn't take it seriously. After checking Wu Yifan's pulse, he took out a small, crystal clear jade bottle from the Sumeru Ring and handed it to Wu Yifan, "
Although Brother Wu's internal organs were injured, it was not life-threatening. However, the old injury was not healed and he was infected with wind and cold. His condition worsened. But it doesn't matter. This elixir is just for removing wind and cold. Take one pill a day. After three days,
, the wind and cold can be gone, with a little recuperation and the use of elixirs, the injuries to the internal organs will be healed in three to five days."
"Thank you, General!" Wu Yifan was immediately overjoyed. He quickly opened the jade bottle and swallowed one pill. It immediately took effect. Warmth flowed through his body and his spirit was lifted.
"Brother Wu, why are you here?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"Why……"
After Wu Yifan swallowed the pill, he felt much better and gave a general summary of his situation.
A few years ago, after Wu Yifan and Zhao Yuan separated in the Black Forest, they practiced everywhere and challenged the masters, and their skills improved by leaps and bounds. Just half a year ago, Wu Yifan's cultivation reached a bottleneck, so he went to the ancient area to practice.
In the first few months, Wu Yifan had no dangers in the prehistoric area. Although he encountered countless rare birds and animals and powerful cultivators, with his profound cultivation, he was able to avoid dangers. Winter was approaching, and he was originally planning to leave.
Wu Yifan, who was in the prehistoric area, discovered that there were suddenly more cultivators in the prehistoric area. After some inquiry, it turned out that a rare treasure had been unearthed in the prehistoric area.
Wu Yifan didn't have to bring much valuable information about He Yibao specifically. However, seeing more and more cultivators coming from all directions, Wu Yifan simply stayed behind with the idea that it was just the right time to meet them.
luck.
In the following days, Wu Yifan wandered around the ancient Shiwan Mountains, trying to find out something. However, except for more and more cultivators, he knew nothing. Moreover, some cultivators were wary of each other.
He is also tight-lipped about the clues he has.
Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, and when heavy snow was about to close the mountains, Wu Yifan decided to leave the prehistoric area. However, at this time, he met a small adventure team. The team had a map, saying that a certain place on the map,
There is a treasure cave. In that cave, there are not only huge treasures, but also some rare cultivation secrets and ancient magic weapons.
Because the adventure team was weak, they decided to let Wu Yifan join. Moreover, in order to avoid internal strife, everyone discussed a very detailed plan for dividing the accounts in advance, which can be said to be extremely well prepared.
According to the index on the map, everyone arrived at an inaccessible mountain. Later, people discovered that the endless mountains were actually a huge formation, and they had fallen into the formation and were unable to control it.
Sword flying.
Until the heavy snow closed the mountains, people were still wandering around in the mountains.
After the heavy snow closed the mountains, most of the animals were hibernating, and food became the biggest problem. After half a month of support, the temporarily formed adventure team began to have differences of opinion.
Some decided to stay and continue the adventure.
Some people think that we should leave as soon as possible.
In the end, the team was divided into two groups, one group stayed to continue searching for the treasure, and the other group looked for a way out.
The two factions parted ways.
Wu Yifan decided to stay. Just in case, he made a copy of the map.
In the next ten days or so, Wu Yifan and others found nothing. Just when everyone was preparing to evacuate, they discovered the bodies of another group of people.
They were said to be corpses, but in fact they were not corpses at all, because all the corpses were mutilated and eaten by animals until they were beyond recognition. If it were not for the flying swords and ornaments to determine their identity, they would not be able to identify them at all.
Seeing their former partners being attacked, a group of cultivators suddenly became frightened and became suspicious.
The atmosphere in the team was tense.
Slowly, some cultivators lost control of their emotions, had hallucinations, and began to kill each other.
The adventure team was torn apart by cannibalism and each went his own way. However, the killing did not end, because they seemed to be spinning around forever, always meeting their partners inadvertently...
He had little memory of how Wu Yifan left there, because at that time, he was already in a state of hysterical madness. In his eyes, only killing, and any moving object would become the target of his massacre.
In Wu Yifan's last memory, he killed many of his friends, and in the end, he was the only one left, and then he lost his memory.
When Wu Yifan regained his memory, he had already left that terrifying place, and at this time, Wu Yifan was seriously injured.
The memory in the soul of Wu Yifan, who was seriously injured, was full of fear. Instead of staying to heal his injuries, he desperately flew away with his sword and left the prehistoric area. In fact, Wu Yifan at that time still couldn't control his thinking. He left the prehistoric area.
, just an instinct.
Wu Yifan's instinct brought him to Blackwater City. When Wu Yifan arrived in Blackwater City, he was injured. He originally wanted to find a place to heal his injuries, but he found that all his belongings were lost in the battle, leaving only a map.
Originally, Wu Yifan was planning to sell Feijian when he could no longer support it. However, while spending the night in a ruined temple, his condition worsened and Wu Yifan, who fell into a coma, was ransacked by a group of wanderers. Not only was the map stolen, but also
Even the flying sword that I carried with me as my life was stolen and ended up in this situation now...
…
After Wu Yifan's story ended, Zhao Yuan fell into a long period of contemplation.
According to Wu Yifan's description, the ancient formation can confuse people's minds and make them kill each other. However, what Zhao Yuan cannot understand is why Wu Yifan and others were not in danger at the beginning?
Wu Yifan and others lost their minds and killed each other because they split into two factions and went their separate ways. This means that the formation was not fully activated at that time.
What force caused that formation to activate?
If Fairy Caixia, Wan Ling'er and others were in that formation, why didn't they run into Wu Yifan and others?
What if Fairy Caixia also killed each other like Wu Yifan...
…
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but shudder.
If that formation can really confuse people's minds and make them kill each other, then Fairy Caixia and the others will definitely be in trouble.
no!
Can't wait any longer.
Even if there is no formation, in the frozen wilderness area, if you don't freeze to death, you will starve to death.
Normally, Fairy Caixia and the others would have some snacks in their Sumeru rings. However, they have been held hostage by the White Dragon King for more than a year, and the food they brought may have been exhausted long ago.
Zhao Yuan felt anxious when he thought of Caixia Fairy Wan Ling'er Mingmingyue and a group of people suffering from hunger and cold.
The situation in Blackwater City has been stabilized for the time being, and the Crusaders are unable to launch a large-scale battle. Leaving Blackwater City at this time will not affect the overall situation.
