Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 22

[Chapter 22 Demonic Spell Power (Please recommend)]

A few hours later.

Fang Xi returned to Baiyun Martial Arts School.

“Junior brother, how is it?”

Liu Taotao and Tang Xuan immediately surrounded them.

They were also among the inner disciples who stayed firmly behind during the previous riot in the martial arts gym.

Fang Xi shook his head: “I took the opportunity when those weirdos returned to their nest to check the city gate… The outside of the city is already covered by a layer of black fog. If you want to pass through, you will be blocked by a strange force. I’m afraid that Black Stone City is really isolated from the inside and outside.”

Tang Xuan suddenly felt extremely desperate.

Fang Xi looked at the towering treetops in the center of the city, thinking: “I suggest… we move to the edge of Black Stone City first, close to the city wall, and build a stronghold…”

“Why?”

The person who asked the question was Mu Piaomiao. After sending her father to the room to rest, she had been silent, but now she finally spoke.

“Because the demon tree is still growing taller…”

Fang Xi explained: “Living creatures covered by the tree canopy will definitely be disturbed by those drooping aerial roots, which is bound to be very dangerous…”

There was still a guess in his mind that he hadn’t spoken out.

That is, the demon tree will continue to grow taller.

If things continue like this, one day they will be as tall as the clouds, and then the treetops will replace the sky, covering the entire Black Rock City!

That will be the end of the entire Black Rock City!

“Of course, it is possible that this demon tree has some sense and is actively keeping some humans in captivity for its regular consumption…”

“Demon… what an interesting creature! According to what Mu Canglong said, this blockade method is the ‘Demon Realm’? It does have some flavor of the prototype of a formation.”

“Ahem!”

Mu Canglong came out at some point, coughed a few times, and said, “Fang Xi is right, let’s do as he says… Also, the martial arts hall will be relocated, and everything else can be discarded. We only need food and clean water…”

“Dad, how is your health?” Mu Piaomiao looked at his father worriedly.

Fang Xi could also find that the tadpole-shaped black lines on Mu Canglong’s body had spread further and had already crawled to his chin.

“It’s useless, this is poison and also a ‘curse’!”

Mu Canglong replied with a wry smile.

“Master, may I ask what is a ‘curse’?” Fang Xi became interested.

“So-called demons and monsters are just a little more eccentric in appearance, a little stronger, or have some strange abilities…” Mu Canglong waved his hand: “But demons are completely different, especially the ‘curse’! This is a kind of power unique to demons – the power of curse! Its terrifying degree far exceeds the blood and qi power, even the true strength and true energy of us warriors… Therefore, once you are touched, it is like a ulcer attached to the bone, and you will definitely die…”

“I see.” Fang Xi nodded and clasped his fists, saying, “Master, I still have to go home to take care of some matters. I will have to meet up with you later.”

At this time, the monsters outside were all hanging on the treetops, making them extremely safe.

Many of the remaining disciples had already secretly escaped.

Fang Xi also solemnly said goodbye because he was a particular person.

“Um…Master, I also want to go home.” Liu Taotao echoed timidly.

“Yes.” Mu Canglong nodded and did not stop him: “Remember, we will gather at the East City Gate later. Fang Xi’s previous inference is correct. The farther away from the main body of the demon tree, the better… In addition, be careful of those demon servants. Although they are only infected by the demon’s spell power, they are not easy to deal with.”

…

“How come it was supposed to be a world of enjoyment, but it suddenly turned into a world of survival in a demonic disaster?”

Fang Xi walked on the street, looking at the dilapidated shops, the broken bodies on the ground, and occasionally the vigilant eyes from behind the windows. He could not help but speechless: “It’s the fucking PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds version, the kind where the poison circle spreads from the inside to the outside…”

fortunately.

He could feel that as long as he wanted, he could still return to the Southern Wilderness to cultivate immortals.

With this as a trump card, Fang Xi is actually not very anxious.

He walked and stopped along the way and finally arrived at his own mansion.

The door broke and fell to one side.

The bodies of several guards were scattered everywhere, some of them were still roaring.

“really……”

Fang Xi had anticipated this. With a gleam in his eyes, he stepped into the inner house.

Several maids fell in a pool of blood, holding jade leaves, pearls, gold jewelry and other valuables in their hands…

“When you’re in danger, you just want to steal the host’s property and run away…”

He walked around and basically confirmed that his home had also been attacked by monsters, and that many of his servants had been killed or injured.

Most of the survivors had run away, and a lot of property was taken away.

“Forget it, just consider it as severance pay.”

Fang Xi was very open-minded about this, as they were just material possessions after all.

He came to his bedroom, his eyes suddenly fixed, and he pushed open the door.

The bedroom was also a mess.

Facts have proved that the master’s ban is no different from fart when it comes to the end of the world.

Fang Xi didn’t care about all that. He came to a rosewood cabinet with carved dragons and phoenixes and knocked on the door.

“Ahhhh!”

Amid the screams, a petite figure rushed out, holding a pair of scissors in her hand, and stabbed quickly.

Bang!
Fang Xi was speechless, and casually slapped the scissors away, and slapped her: “Lily, wake up, it’s me!”

Hiding in the cupboard was the maid Lily.

A bright red slap mark quickly appeared on her cheek, forming a sharp contrast with her fair and delicate skin, but she seemed to finally wake up and cried loudly, sobbing: “There is… there is a monster… Sister Narcissus, Sister Yulan… are… are all dead…”

“Where’s Laurel?”

Fang Xi asked.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

Lily shook her head: “I didn’t see it…”

Fang Xi recalled the journey and did not see Yue Gui’s body, which was good news.

He stroked Lily’s hair, feeling like petting a cat: “Black Rock City is over now. I’ll give you two choices. The first is to follow me. The second is that I’ll give you 100 taels of gold and return your indenture, and you can leave on your own. Choose one!”

Fang Xi looked around the bedroom, but there was nothing he needed to take.

In today’s Black Rock City, things like gold and silver are just like bricks and rubble. It would be better to go to the kitchen and move a few more bags of rice!

“No, I can go to the Xiuxian world to buy rice from mortals, and I don’t have to move…”

“I…” Lily’s eyes barely showed some life: “I will go with you…”

“Very good!”

Fang Xi nodded. This was a smart little girl. “In that case, hurry up and pack your things. Go to the kitchen and get a bag of rice. Come with me…”

…

East Gate.

A residential area built along the city wall.

Baiyun Martial Arts School chose this place to settle down because it is already the outermost area of Black Stone City.

The small courtyard was already crowded with martial arts apprentices and their families.

In addition to Fang Xi who brought a maid, Liu Taotao and Tang Xuan also brought their parents over.

Even the second senior brother Wu Ji, at some point, brought a beautiful woman, who was said to be his wife, and occupied a room openly.

Near the courtyard, there are many forces in the city, mostly martial arts school owners, who brought their apprentices, drove out the original owners of the houses, and occupied the best land in this area.

With the order in the city now broken, fists are the best way to speak!
Because of this, Mu Canglong had to drag his broken body to pretend to be friendly with those martial arts masters.

late at night.

Mu Canglong called together several disciples to discuss what they had seen and heard today.

“Ahem…According to the information I got, the demon tree can parasitize the bodies of humans and animals. It chose to descend on the government office at the beginning. The prefect of this city and all the high-ranking officials in the city were basically killed without a burial place…”

A small lamp illuminated the shocked and terrified faces of the people. Mu Canglong’s voice was filled with helplessness: “Now… there are many martial arts forces gathered near the East Gate. The South Gate is occupied by Yuanhe Mountain. The situation at the North Gate is unknown. I’m afraid it’s a dead end. There are occasional sporadic news at the West Gate, and a large number of refugees gather…”

“And those monsters driven by the demon tree hide during the day and come out at night. There are not many of them. As long as we act carefully, we should be able to hold out for a while…”

Mu Piaomiao looked worried: “Dad… the drinking water we have stored here can only barely last for a month.”

“One month?” Mu Canglong became inexplicably depressed.

In fact, there are too many dead bodies in Blackrock City. As long as you are not afraid of danger and avoid the core area and monsters covered by the tree canopy, it is not difficult to search for supplies in residential areas and grain stores.

The real difficulty is confidence!
‘In fact, all the senior officials should know that they will definitely be abandoned by the Daliang court…’

“Now, hugging each other for warmth is just a way to survive.”

Fang Xi crossed his arms across his chest and leaned against the pillar. He understood everything: “My persistence now is just a very weak hope. I hope that this demon will leave on its own after eating and drinking enough…”

‘But no one would have thought at first that this demon was actually a tree! Maybe it wouldn’t leave. Even if it did, it might wait until the tree’s crown spread across the sky and killed everyone with its aerial roots…’

“Of course, judging from the extent of their expansion, this process will take several months to a year… so the danger at the beginning is… other people!”

Just as Fang Xi was thinking, Mu Canglong’s expression changed, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, and fainted.

“Daddy!”

Mu Piaomiao exclaimed and hurried over to support him.

Ignoring the busy crowd, Fang Xi walked out of the house and looked at the gloomy sky.

Now that the strongest force of Baiyun Martial Arts School has been damaged, I am afraid that it cannot be concealed from those who are interested, and the danger is imminent!
