Chapter 698: The Demonic Cultivator's Head at the City Gate
"Indeed, but this has taught you a lesson. You probably won't dare to do it again next time."
Once we started chatting, everyone felt less unfamiliar with each other.
"Where else did you go next?"
She added that she wanted to hear what a wonderful life is like.
Lu Luan recalled: "After escaping from the cave, I went to the Blue Eyed Fox Clan because of the beads you gave me. This clan practices Taoism. Many of their members have transformed. Moreover, this clan is very peculiar. Every year at a certain time, they hold the God-Watching Festival."
"God-Watching Festival? What is it for?"
Shangguan Linglong showed an interested look.
"It is to commemorate a Kunlun monk who died protecting them a thousand years ago. They call her the White Wei Fairy. Every year when the White Wei grass blooms, everyone from the clan leader to the mortals will wear a wreath made of White Wei grass on their heads. Every household will also plant White Wei grass in front of their door to pray for peace, play music to praise them, and hold various large-scale activities..."
Lu Luan spoke without reservation about the customs and habits of the blue-eyed fox tribe.
"I didn't expect there are such strange races in the outer world. The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things."
Shangguan Linglong was very surprised. Wearing flowers on her head and singing folk songs seemed too simple and down-to-earth.
"Are you also attending the God-Looking Festival?"
Shangguan Linglong looked at him with a hint of wonder in her eyes, as if she imagined him wearing flowers on his head and singing and dancing with others.
"I'm in seclusion, but luckily for me, an unexpected discovery among the blue-eyed foxes gave me an opportunity to break through."
"No wonder you reached the middle stage of the Golden Core so quickly. Tell me how you discovered this opportunity."
Lu Luan then explained the general process.
Talking about this, he couldn't help but marvel at his good luck. After all, if the female monk hadn't asked one more question at that time, he would have missed this adventure.
I don’t know how long it will take and how difficult it will be to break through the realm.
Shangguan Linglong was also amazed after hearing this and lamented how lucky he was.
The two walked away while chatting.
Soon, they left the scope of this bitter and cold land.
This place is sparsely populated and deserted along the way, and I didn't encounter a single demon cultivator.
The place chosen by Shangguan Linglong is really a perfect place.
The flight continued for three more days.
Finally, a black city appeared before them.
"Go inside and have a look."
Lu Luan said.
Such a big city must have what you need.
"it is good."
The two flew away.
Seeing that the city was covered with formations, Lu Luan did not want to show off, so he controlled his breath and brought Shangguan Linglong to the city gate.
"Ok?"
Before they got close, they frowned slightly, because on the city wall, there were several red monsters over thirty feet long lying.
"It's the blood ant tribe."
Shangguan Linglong recognized them; these were blood ants from the blood ant clan.
Lu Luan had done business with them before and knew that these were blood ants, but his attention was on the heads of people at the city gate who died with their eyes open and were nailed to the city wall.
"what happened?"
Shangguan Linglong also noticed it.
"These...are the heads of the demon cultivators?"
Lu Luan originally thought that the heads were from immortal cultivators killed by the blood ants and placed here to show off their achievements, but after careful inspection, he discovered that these were actually the heads of demon cultivators!
There was also a black lamp hanging under each head, with a green fire burning inside. Wailing sounds could be heard from the fire, and distorted faces appeared from time to time, which was chilling.
Lu Luan was puzzled.
When they got closer, a spiritual wave came.
There were extremely cold voices in this mental fluctuation, warning the demon cultivators.
"I see."
After hearing the information, the two understood what was going on.
The owners of these heads were demon cultivators who left the Demon Realm without permission and entered the territory of foreign races. They were discovered and beheaded, and their souls were captured and burned. Now they are hung at the city gate to warn everyone.
This place is close to the territory of the blood ants.
Shangguan Linglong knew that she had captured too many immortal cultivators, so in order to prevent herself from being chased by some great immortal figures, she came to this remote place.
This was the farthest she could get away from the fairyland.
"That green fire does not burn the soul power, it just tortures the soul. This state will not end for one or two hundred years."
Looking at these heads, Shangguan Linglong also frowned.
"Well, such a punishment is really harsh."
Lu Luan was shocked. The screams of these souls made his scalp tingle and his heart chilled. He could imagine what kind of pain they were enduring. Moreover, this state would last for one or two hundred years. The souls would only be relieved after they themselves annihilated.
When the demon cultivators passing by saw this, they couldn't help but have fear in their eyes.
In fact, there are many rewards for killing immortal cultivators by foreign races, and going to foreign races' territories is even more dangerous than killing immortal cultivators. The reason why these demon cultivators still have to go to foreign races' territories to compete for resources is largely because they are of the same human race as the immortal cultivators, and they do not want to be minions of foreign races and kill each other.
These demon cultivators are usually independent demons that are not affiliated with any force.
Being in the Demon Realm and being inferior to themselves, the scattered demons have nowhere to get resources for cultivation, and are unwilling to go to the Immortal Realm to kill the human race, so they can only go to the outer realm to fight for the world with the foreign races.
But this is something that foreigners cannot tolerate. Once discovered, they will be subjected to inhumane torture.
"These people are really idiots. The Blood Ants offer so many rewards, yet they still go to the outer realms."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. I heard that the pain of this kind of burning is a hundred times more painful than lingchi."
"More than a hundred times. The last time my senior brother came here and saw these heads, he went back to retreat and woke up several times. It has become a psychological obstacle for him."
"If I go to the fairyland and get caught by a cultivator, I can still kill him easily. Even searching his soul would be more comfortable than this."
"There are always some idiots who say that we are all human and don't want to be enemies. Now they have ended up in such an irreparable situation. Haha, as a cultivator, you still care about your status. You really deserve it."
After seeing this scene, the demon cultivators who were coming in and out of the city gate whispered to each other and sneered.
"Linglong, let's go."
After taking a brief look, Lu Luan and Shangguan Linglong walked into the city.
The power in this city was not bad, and he soon found a business building. He spent a few high-level spirit stones and bought a few foreign tribes with strong vitality.
These foreign races were just food raised by some powerful foreign races and exchanged with some magic chambers of commerce.
Next, he found a place to retreat in the city.
There is a space of its own inside, which is a courtyard.
Shangguan Linglong took the purchased foreign tribes and went into seclusion.
