Chapter 673: Obtaining Intelligence
Upon entering the town, the first thing that struck you was the desolation and chaos.
Originally, the Twilight Immortal Demon Kingdom was a place where demons and humans lived together, and there might be other stranger races as well. Such a remote and desolate place was naturally bound to be chaotic.
Upon entering the city, Gu Heng witnessed two brawls sparked by curses. Some unlucky souls died on the spot, and the corpses lay scattered on the roadside. However, it takes a very long time for the corpses of cultivators to decompose and stink...
Although there were very few people, there was still a sense of vibrant life and everything flourishing.
However, Gu Heng casually scanned a few people with his skills and found that none of them posed a threat to him, meaning they were all at the mortal level.
Not surprising.
Even if there are immortals in this Little Mystic Realm, it doesn't mean that immortals are everywhere.
Gu Heng originally wanted to find a small teahouse by the roadside to sit down, but he didn't know if Mu Qingyu had told his subordinates about his appearance and attire, because not long after he entered the city, someone found him.
To be precise, they are foxes.
Although she was wrapped in a sand-colored robe, her fox tail was hanging out and hard to miss.
If there's anything Gu Heng isn't entirely satisfied with, it's that it should have more fox ears. That way, it would have a tail and ears, wouldn't that make it even more appealing?
"May I ask if you are Mr. Gu Heng?"
The fox-man asked.
"Yes." "I have brought you intelligence on the orders of Princess Qingyu."
It seems the little fox girl described her appearance, otherwise she wouldn't have recognized him at a glance.
"Currently, there is not much information about the four human women that you are looking for. The farthest our spies from the Twilight Immortal Demon Kingdom have traced them is to the northwest. The forces there are not very... harmonious with our Twilight Immortal Demon Kingdom."
"Therefore, we have very few spies over there, and they are not very useful."
The fox-man's words were rather vague, but Gu Heng could understand what he meant by "not quite in sync." It was probably an extremely euphemistic way of putting it, almost like saying something like, "Any demon who shows up there will be hacked to death."
"So what exactly is it like?"
"All four of them have already reached the Immortal Rank. Although it is not high, for their age, such talent is truly amazing. Therefore, they have shown their talent. It is said that several sects wanted to take them as disciples, but they were all rejected. A few days ago, they were guests at Qingliu Manor."
"Sir, you can go and take a look there first."
The fox-clan man handed over a map: "This is a map used throughout the entire Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm. Please accept it, sir."
Gu Heng took the map and then clasped his hands in a fist salute to the other person: "Thank you."
"Sir, walk slowly."
The fox-man didn't linger and left immediately.
Leaving Gu Heng standing there, he first opened the map and saw that heading northwest from here was the territory of a force called "Zhenlu Palace," while Qingliu Manor was closer to the Muxian Demon Kingdom, which seemed to be a few days' journey away.
He resumed his simple and unpretentious journey on foot.
It hadn't even been a few days, and he was already starting to miss the little fox girl's magnificent spirit boat. And there was something else particularly strange.
When did those four girls become immortals?
……
After the fox-man left, he took a few deep breaths.
The man just now was the expert the princess mentioned.
Although the princess told him that this master looked like an ordinary person, he was actually not like that at all. He was just too strong, so strong that no one could see his true strength.
All I can say is that seeing is believing.
He really does seem like an ordinary person.
There will definitely be some clueless individuals who will offend this gentleman.
That outcome probably won't be good.
However, none of this mattered to him anymore; the mission had been completed, and he could go back to report.
The fox-clan man looked at the nameless town. He had been stationed in this area on the orders of the fox clan. In fact, recently the number of people in this town had suddenly increased a lot. Although most of the new people were mortal cultivators, there were hardly any immortal cultivators to be seen.
This is probably related to the recent discovery of the so-called "Desert Python Immortal" relics.
Ironically, it's true.
For many cultivators who are still struggling in the mortal realm, they have almost no chance of reaching the immortal realm. Their talent has already reached its limit, so they need some external help to push them forward.
For example, "the elixir of immortality".
However, this kind of pill is not ordinary; on the contrary, it is extremely rare. Of course, major powers all have a stockpile of this kind of pill.
But these independent cultivators have absolutely no chance of obtaining such pills.
So they have to take the risk in these so-called "ruins".
It's ridiculous that a mere burial site of a mystical immortal can be called a "relic."
This would attract ordinary cultivators with no background, status, or resources to come and explore.
The fox-man left.
He has fulfilled the young princess's request. Perhaps he can be transferred away from this godforsaken wasteland and go somewhere else to enjoy a better life.
It's been so long since I've heard those beautiful girls from Zhaiyue Tower sing and play music...
……
Gu Heng found a teahouse, drank some tea, rested for half an hour, and continued his journey northwest.
From here on, there is no longer any main road.
He walked directly into the vast desert, but fortunately, he had a map and directions, so heading in that direction was definitely the right way. After traveling for about two hours and deeper into the desert, Gu Heng noticed that there were suddenly more figures around him, and they were all cultivators darting around in the sky, all heading in the same direction.
It seems to be right on my inevitable path.
"what happened?"
Gu Heng quickened his pace.
With the help of the Swift Boots, it didn't take him long to see the source that had attracted so many cultivators!
It was a dilapidated sand palace standing in the desert, surrounded by what looked like a refraction of space. The surrounding buildings had partially collapsed, and the walls were cracked, making it look utterly incomplete.
But it still stands tall in this desolate Gobi Desert.
"...Does this kind of thing even exist in this place?"
Gu Heng recognized what it was at a glance.
This wasn't the first time he'd seen such so-called ancient ruins. Without a doubt, the reason so many cultivators gathered here was because there was some kind of opportunity inside!
