The little girl looked resentful, pointed at the towering buildings in the distance, and said through gritted teeth, "It's that red-clothed Demon Lord."
Yun Ranran was really dumbfounded.
The Demon Lord in Red?
Does this mean Cang Jue? If it was Cang Jue, he shouldn't be able to do such a thing, right?
She has seen him with so many points and souls. Although he has a bad temper, he is a kind person after all, so he would not do such a thing as captivity.
She asked the little girl, "Are you sure? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
The little girl took out the crumpled Nether Flower and said in a low voice, "This is my mother's flower. I ate my father's flower just to survive."
"They were originally from Fengming Town. The town is just to the east of Penglai Island. The population is prosperous and they live and work in peace and contentment."
"Then one day, a sudden change occurred in the village. Someone died suddenly. After the death, a strange flower grew on his body. The flower had no effect. It withered after sucking all the blood from that person's body."
"After that, things like this happened one after another. Some people's flowers contained spiritual power, and some people's flowers would only wither, but without exception, those who bloomed would all die, and I don't know when they would die."
"Just when everyone was desperate and at a loss, that person appeared, and he asked everyone to go with him and live in a new place."
"Everyone had no choice. In desperation, they really went on the road with him. He brought everyone back to the city of exile, and everyone settled here."
The little girl stopped and looked at the flowers in her palm.
"When he first came, he was very gentle and kind. He helped several people. Everyone trusted him and did everything he said."
"When he first arrived in the city of exile, he said that he would find a way to save everyone. At that time, he didn't show his ambition at all. He worked with everyone to open up wasteland and build houses."
"But as time went by, he became more and more wrong. Both his temperament and attitude have undergone huge changes."
"He became gloomy, weird, violent, and...killed..."
The little girl's eyes were full of tears: "My parents died at his hands, I saw it with my own eyes."
"My parents love me very much and will protect me until death."
The little girl stopped, choked up and unable to continue.
Yun Ranran thought carefully and asked, "Where were you born?"
The little girl raised her eyes to look at her, and replied, "The City of Exile."
"My parents live in remorse all the time, they don't want to give birth to me and suffer."
Yun Ranran frowned, the little girl said that some people's Nether Flowers have no effect, they are just ordinary flowers, while some people's flowers have spiritual power, so it is possible that people in Fengming Town are undergoing experiments to cultivate plants with spiritual power Nether flower.
Then this group of people may indeed be imprisoned in the city of exile, called protection, but in fact they are raised in captivity.
She asked, "How long ago were you born in Exiled City?"
The little girl said, "Two years later."
Yun Ranran frowned, if the little girl's parents already knew her physique and wanted to give birth to her, they must have been forced to, or fed He Huan San? Or does the Nether Flower itself have an aphrodisiac effect?
There were many children in Lingshui Town at that time...
Knowing the tragic fate of the tribe, they would not want their descendants to continue to bear the nightmare.
She hadn't heard of being fed acacia in Lingshui Town, so it was very likely that the reproductive instinct of the Nether Flower after it matured controlled these people.
If so...
Yun Ranran asked, "How many children are there in Exiled City?"
The little girl said: "A lot."
quite a few...
If the Red Demon Lord is really Cang Jue, he is the ruler of the city of exile, he should not watch this group of people being manipulated, and then give birth to a child in pain...
Or is it that he can't get rid of Nether Flower's reproductive instinct?
Or, this red-clothed Demon Lord is not Cang Jue at all, he is someone else, everything is just as the little girl said, he deliberately pretended to be kind and brought them in, and then imprisoned them to cultivate Nether Flowers, just for his own ambition .
So many outsiders entered this time, and the secret of his Nether Flower was discovered, why there was no movement?
All this seems to be clear, but it is strange everywhere.
Yun Ranran asked the little girl's name, her name was Cheng Yin, and she asked, "How can I meet that red-clothed demon?"
Chengyin trembled slightly: "We can't get close to the center. As night falls, he will occasionally come out by himself. At this time, we have to hide. If he sees it, he will be killed."
"My parents are like this..."
While talking, there were several screams not far away, Cheng Yin was filled with hatred and fear.
Yun Ranran held her hand, and the little girl looked up at her.
Yun Ranran said: "I don't know what I can do, anyway, do my best."
The little girl was a little dazed, her eyes filled with tears, and she quickly lowered her head.
Yun Ranran took the little girl's hand and led her out of the room, while Wuxuan followed slowly.
The place where the screams were just now was not far away, Yun Ranran approached carefully from the dark place, and found several fresh corpses, some were foreign monks, and some were dressed similarly to Cheng Yin.
The people from Exiled City were lying on the ground, their corpses looked extremely shriveled, and beside the corpses were crumpled and withered Nether Flowers.
It seems that these people are the failed parasites of Nether Flower, and failed to develop the Spirit Flower that contains spiritual power.
Chengyin's body trembled, and she quickly covered her tongue to prevent herself from making a sound.
Yun Ranran stopped for a while, then continued to walk towards the center of the city.
After walking through two long streets, Cheng Yin suddenly grabbed her hand and said in a low voice, "The front is dangerous, and there are madmen inside. We never go in."
Are they all lunatics? Yun Ranran looked carefully and found that there was a thin barrier in front, presumably someone had set up an enchantment to separate the two partitions.
Yun Ranran thought for a while: "Wait here for a while, I'll go in and investigate."
The little girl looked at her anxiously.
She looked at Wuxuan again, and said softly: "You are here, help me take care of Chengyin, I will come as soon as I go."
Wuxuan nodded slightly.
Cheng Yuan didn't want her to go in, and grabbed her hand in fear.
Yun Ranran rubbed her hair and said comfortingly, "I'll be fast."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for the little girl to respond, she got into the barrier.
After entering, I was stunned. Unlike the clean first half, this place is in ruins.
The houses collapsed, the bricks and rocks flew, and the walls and walls were broken everywhere.
There is not even a complete road under her feet, and she doesn't know how to settle down.
And on those collapsed buildings and stone debris, there are scratches from weapons.
She condensed the spirit sword and gestured briefly, those marks were more like sword marks.
This place seems to have experienced a violent war. What's going on here?
Not seeing anyone, she carefully took a step forward, and suddenly kicked something with her toes, making a "bang-dang" sound.
She lowered her eyes and saw that it was a broken sword.
She picked up the broken sword, and the sword buzzed and trembled in the palm of her hand. The sword was very murderous, but unfortunately it was too brittle. The blades on both sides of the sword were curled, as if it had slashed something hard.
She was thinking wildly, when she paused, she saw dozens of broken swords scattered on the ground in front of her. She stepped forward and picked them up one by one. The way is very similar.
Have many people fought here?
But there are no broken limbs or broken arms here, not even much blood, what about people?
Just as she was looking around, the broken sword suddenly trembled violently, and even made a whining sound.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked intently, and saw a pair of blood-red eyes on the smudged sword. She shook her fingers, and the sword fell to the ground. She immediately picked it up again, looked seriously again, and then Seeing that those eyes were painful and numb, even a line of blood and tears flowed out, and at the same time, scarlet blood gushed out from the sword in her palm.
this…
She frowned, and quickly looked at the other broken swords, and even tried to tap into the spiritual power, and then she saw the same picture.
She picked out the longest one among all the broken swords, slowly input spiritual power, and then her pupils shrank.
On the broken sword, first a pair of **** eyes appeared, followed by a man's face, and then half of his body appeared on the sword.
The lower half of the sword is broken so he has no lower body, and the blade is curled so his arms are bloody.
This man is in the same condition as the sword, and now he is struggling in pain, bleeding and crying continuously.
Yun Ranran was horrified, could this be the sword spirit?
But no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like it. At this moment, she suddenly had a terrible guess...
Could this be... the Canglan Sword...
She learned about Yun Jian's past in the land of exile. He was forced to practice the Canglan Sword, which turned him into a peerless soldier, just like the current situation.
Could it be that these people are in the same situation as Yun Jian, who were forced to practice the Canglan Sword, because they were backlashed because their cultivation level was not enough, so they became like this...
The peerless magic weapon that Ning Kui told her at the time, could it be these?
Could it be that these people were also tricked by the Red-clothed Demon Venerable to force them to practice the Canglan Sword?
Even set up an enchantment to separate the two groups that would hurt each other...
If it is true, then this person is too scary...
She looked up, and saw many fragments of broken swords falling from the gaps between the bricks and rubble, and an unknown number of people had fallen in it.
Things got bad and troublesome.
She planned to find Xiaoqi and Qinghe first, and make a decision after discussing with them.
Just when she was about to leave, the little girl suddenly ran in from behind and grabbed her hand nervously.
Yun Ranran's eyebrows twitched: "Why did you come in? Didn't I tell you to stay outside?"
Chengyin held her hand tightly: "I'm afraid."
Wuxuan also walked in at this time and stopped beside Yun Ranran.
Yun Ranran asked, "What do you think?"
Wuxuan's eyes fell on her face, and he shook his head: "I don't know, maybe the truth can only be obtained by entering inside."
Yun Ranran sighed: "Let's go to Qinghe and Xiaoqi first."
Wuxuan nodded in agreement.
Yun Ranran held Chengyin's hand and was about to leave, but Chengyin looked at her with trembling eyes.
"Sister, who have you been talking to all this time?"
Yun Ranran pointed at Wuxuan, and said strangely: "Buddha son."
Cheng Yin was even more frightened, she said: "Where is the Buddha, haven't you always been the only one?"
Yun Ranran didn't understand, and pointed to Wuxuan beside him.
"You can't see such a big person? Didn't you stay outside with you just now?"
Cheng Yin's voice already had a crying tone.
"That's why I ran in. It was obviously only me just now."
"Since we met, you have always been alone."
