Su Jianxing was stopped at the city gate.

"Who is it? Why are you leaving the city now?" They were two disciples of the Immortal Alliance, guarding the city gate with serious faces and asking.

Except for the gates of the deserted city that were closed during the wave of monsters due to the need to open the city defense formation, there was never a curfew during the rest of the time, although there were disciples from the Immortal Alliance on duty.

Therefore, the door-blocking inspection at this moment seems a bit strange.

"I went out of the city to look for someone. My sister-in-law is lost." Su Jianxing asked after answering, "What are you doing? Are you looking for someone?"

Just as the Immortal League disciple was about to answer, he paused and looked behind Su Jianxing. At the same time, a slightly familiar voice came from behind Su Jianxing: "Fellow Daoist Su——"

Su Jianxing turned around and saw Taichen.

When the disciples of the Immortal Alliance saw Taichen, they saluted him: "Sir."

Taichen nodded and said: "I'll come here, you go first." After saying that, he looked at Su Jianxing: "Are you sure your sister is outside the city?"

Su Jianxing didn't know why he asked like this, but he still nodded, "It's getting late, and my sister is always afraid of the dark. Fellow Taoist Taichen, I'll go first."

Taichen nodded, but said something completely unrelated to Ah Yue: "Cheng Qian ran away."

"What?" Su Jianxing didn't react for a while, but soon she understood the meaning of Taichen's words. She paused and looked at Taichen with sharp eyes: "Chengqian ran away? When?"

"Early this morning, maybe earlier." A hint of apology appeared on his face: "Originally, he was confined in his own courtyard, waiting for someone from the Shengyuan Sect to take him away, but unexpectedly..."

Unexpectedly, Cheng Qian ran away.

Needless to say, Su Jianxing already understood. "This is for me."

Taichen said: "I'll go out of the city with you to look for him."

Su Jianxing glanced at him and did not refuse.

The moon is bright and starless tonight, and the cold moonlight casts a silver light on the earth.

You can feel the chill brought by the wind on your face almost as soon as you leave the city gate. The little warmth in the day has been blown away by the wind.

Ah Yue didn't wear much when she went out, and now she was afraid that she would be freezing even if her life was not in danger.

A mile away from the city gate is a dense forest, known as the Forest of No Return, and the name sounds ominous.

It is said that when the deserted city was called Linxian City thousands of years ago, there was no such forest at all. Standing on the towering city wall, all you can see is a vast expanse of endless hectares of fertile fields and scattered villages and towns. As far as the eye can see,

Only then can you vaguely see a mountain range that is half-hidden in the clouds and mist all year round.

It is a gathering place for monsters and beasts. Mortals and monks rarely set foot there, and few can come out after going in. It is known as the Ridge of No Return.

Of course, the monsters in the Mountain of No Return never come out of the mountains. For tens of thousands of years, the monsters and mortals in the Mountain of No Return have maintained a peaceful situation in which no one is in trouble.

This situation was broken when the first wave of monsters began to appear thousands of years ago.

The tide of monsters caused by unknown reasons washed away countless houses and fertile fields along the road.

The monsters in the tide of monsters have no reason and rely solely on instinct. Not only do they bite humans, but they also fight each other. The scene is extremely tragic.

At first, everyone thought that the tide of monsters was just an accident. After the monsters faded away, people would go back to rebuild their homes and continue to live their lives. However, they did not expect that the nightmare would always happen again.

Within a few years, the fertile fields turned into wasteland. Grass and trees grew wantonly, and over time a forest was formed. The activity areas of the monsters gradually expanded into the forest.

The forest has become a forest of no return.

"It's in the Forest of No Return." Su Jianxing closed his eyes, tried hard to sense Ah Yue's Qi, and said, "Let's look for it separately."

She had never expected that Ah Yue would have such an accident before, so she did not leave any mark on Ah Yue's body deliberately. She could only sense the vague direction with the sword embryo and peach wood hairpin she made for Ah Yue and Zhen Zhen.

It's already the limit.

Taichen stopped her and said: "Don't rush in, you can replenish your spiritual energy first."

Su Jianxing glanced at him and thought that this person was observing very carefully. Su Jianxing spent most of his spiritual energy when he opened the restraint of Najie. He will go to the Forest of No Return to find someone soon, and the remaining spiritual energy is not very big.

Enough.

Without any hesitation, she took a top-quality spiritual stone to replenish her spiritual energy.

Taichen seemed unaware and raised his eyes to look at the forest in front of him.

This forest has lush branches and leaves, which block out all the moonlight and are completely dark inside. It is like the shadow formed by a giant beast lying on the ground in the dark night, giving people a dangerous and mysterious feeling.

There was a flash of fluorescent light in the forest, which was the light emitted by the eyes of the monster beast lurking in the dark night.

While Taichen was looking at it, Su Jianxing had already absorbed a top-quality spiritual stone.

"Okay." Su Jianxing said.

Taichen nodded, handed over a communication stone and said: "Take it, keep in touch."

Su Jianxing finally nodded to him, and without further delay, he entered the forest in a flash.

Taichen also entered it immediately.

Not long after the two of them entered, the moonlight in the sky seemed to be a little brighter, and there seemed to be some invisible breath flowing slowly in the clear moonlight, converging and taking shape.

…

Zhi Feng is in the center of the city lord's palace, sending spiritual energy to the city defense formation.

The city defense formation is the foundation for the deserted city to remain standing after countless waves of demonic beasts for thousands of years. The lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the city also depend on it.

The formation of a city defense formation consumes a huge amount of spiritual energy, so it is necessary to replenish the spiritual energy from time to time on weekdays to prepare for the next activation of the formation.

Those disciples like Su Jianxing who were sent to serve by various sects can not only redeem contribution points with the materials they picked up after each tide of monsters, but they can also redeem contribution points by delivering spiritual energy to the formation at regular intervals.

Of course, there is a fixed amount of spiritual energy delivered every month, and only if this standard is reached can basic contribution points be obtained.

In addition, if there is a surplus and you can continue to lose spiritual energy, your contribution points will be doubled.

It's just that few people can achieve the last stipulation. When the Immortal Alliance established a fixed amount of spiritual energy to be delivered every month, it stipulated different amounts for disciples of different realm levels. Basically, it was stuck at the point that those disciples could barely achieve. They wanted to exceed the limit.

The mission is almost impossible.

For example, Su Jianxing had to post one or two spiritual stones in order to get basic contribution points every month, let alone exceed the quota.

Of course, the work of transporting spiritual energy just depends on the varying levels of cultivation of the serving disciples. The amount transported every month is not completely sufficient to maintain the operation of the entire formation. Therefore, the disciples stationed in the Immortal Alliance are doing this work. As

The city lord naturally has to do more to stop the wind, and even do more.

Two hours later, Zhifeng came out of the array control room with a pale face. Even though his cultivation had reached the stage of divine transformation, his spiritual power was not enough to support the operation of the entire array. No wonder the array needs so many energy every month.

There are many people maintaining it, and the power of this formation is much stronger than that of ordinary sects' mountain-protecting formations.

As soon as he stepped out of the house, a disciple of the Immortal Alliance came up to him. He asked with an attentive and somewhat puzzled look: "City Lord, the wave of monsters just passed a few days ago. As a rule, there will be no more problems in the short term. Why are you like this?"

So hard?"
