Chapter 629 Dead City
Li Muran asked the werewolf: "There is a young master of the Dark Heaven in your tribe. He was a sixth-level werewolf three hundred years ago. Can you recognize it?"
The werewolf shook his head in confusion, and the werewolf in the lead said, "The lifespan of the sixth-level werewolf is generally only about 300 years old. If the clan members mentioned by the predecessors did not advance smoothly, most of them had already died at this time.
Li Muran nodded and asked again: "I still remember that he has an older sister named Princess Xiyue. Have you heard of it?"
The werewolf in the leader was shocked and said, "Report to senior, the current patriarch of this tribe is Wei Ming Xiyue. Can senior recognize the patriarch of this tribe?"
"So she has become the patriarch." Li Muran smiled slightly.
Although Li Muran is not very familiar with Princess Xiyue, he is also a member of the same group of holy sons, so he has seen Princess Xiyue's younger brother Antian, who is very familiar with Li Muran, and is one of his few friends in the werewolf tribe.
"Since my senior recognizes the patriarch, why not go to the clan to visit me? We should treat each other with generous gifts," the werewolf warmly invited.
"No need" Li Muran smiled and said, "When you report to Fellow Daoist Xiyue, you will say that for a while, a fellow Taoist from the Tiangong Tribe will visit her."
"Yes" werewolf respectfully accepted the order.
Li Muran asked about the location here again, and then flew to the west.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the sky again.
The remaining werewolf looked at each other.
"What does this senior mean? Could he be from the Tiangong Tribe?" said a werewolf.
"Tiangong Tribe? Isn't that a small tribe that depends on my Dark Moon Tribe? There is such a big figure? It seems that he is completely in a human form and does not emit any werewolf blood. Could it be that he has completely turned into a human form and an ancestor-level cultivator?"
The werewolf whispered, and the werewolf in the lead said, "Don't talk too much about such a master. How can we comment at will? If some news comes into the ears of the master, as long as we offend the master slightly, we will be in danger of our lives today. Apart from reporting to the clan leader, we must not mention a word to outsiders, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by the clan rules. Remember."
The werewolf immediately did not dare to say more, and they dispersed to prepare for mining.
Li Muran flew straight to the Xihuang City west of the ancient land. In the north of the Xihuang City, there is a valley of Ten Thousand Demons. Deep under the Ten Thousand Demons Valley is the secret hiding place of the Dark Night Clan - the place where the Earthly Heart City is located.
Since he has arrived in the ancient land, Li Muran naturally has to go to the Dark Night Clan and teach the complete Dark Night Art skills to the Dark Night members. This is also his promise to Ye Tian back then. And that Dark Night Order, that Qiongqi Order, was also given to him by Ye Tian, and it was the token of the Dark Night Clan.
Li Muran knew the general direction of the Dixin City, so he used several instant talismans from time to time and soon arrived at the Wan Yao Valley.
Although I haven't been here for more than 300 years, high-level immortal cultivators can never forget it, and Li Muran is still quite familiar with the terrain here.
The monsters in the Ten Thousand Demon Valley were no longer threatening him. Instead, these monsters sensed the powerful aura emitted by Li Muran, and instinctively avoided the side, not daring to appear in front of Li Muran at all.
Li Muran easily found the entrance to the cave in Dixin City - although it had been landfilled with rocks, Li Muran had a big five elements escape talisman close to his body, and could freely shuttle through the five elements attributes, whether it was the sea of flames, forests, gold ores, rocks, sand and soil.
With the help of this big five elements escape talisman, Li Muran quickly disappeared into the depths of the ground. Not long after, he appeared above the earth's center.
The fluorescent stones embedded in the stone walls of the building are still shining with dim light, making it not dark here.
"It has not been three hundred years, and it has been a lot of dilapidated here." Li Muran frowned. He looked around and saw that the huge earth core city was full of ruins, and less than one-tenth of the intact buildings were intact.
This huge earth core city shows that the Dark Night tribe members were also very prosperous at that time, but as time went by, the Dark Night tribe gradually declined, the population decreased, and many buildings were abandoned.
"I don't know how many people in the Dark Night tribe are left." Li Muran sighed lightly, and he released his divine thoughts and enveloped the earth's heart city.
"Huh?" Li Muran's expression suddenly changed, and he could not sense any breath at all.
With his powerful divine consciousness, he could cover the entire earthly city, but he could not find a ray of breath. Could it be that this place has become an empty city?
Li Muran frowned. Could it be that the Dark Night Clan has become extinct after three hundred years?
Li Muran flew into the center of the earth and walked around the streets, with a lot of spiritual thoughts around, but he did not see a single figure, nor did he find a ray of breath.
Li Muran gradually walked to a certain place in the suburbs of the city, where there was a field planted with a grain called Dark Flower Rice, which was one of the main sources of food for the Dark Night people.
However, at this time, Li Muran saw a messy grass, most of which were unknown dark grass, and only a small amount of dark flower rice grew. This field was obviously not taken care of for a long time.
Li Muran flew to a ruin in the center of the Earth Center again. He vaguely remembered that this was the most important place for the Dark Night Clan to worship ancestors, but it had become a ruin at this time.
Li Muran looked carefully for a while and finally confirmed: This underground city is indeed a dead city.
"Is it because I'm late?" Li Muran frowned and felt quite uncomfortable.
Li Muran practiced the Dark Night Art technique and was basically half a member of the Dark Night Clan. Moreover, on this ancient land, the Dark Night Clan is the only human race. Li Muran has some kindness to the Dark Night Clan. At this time, he saw that the Dark Night Clan's gathering place, the Earth-Central City, had become a dead city, and he felt quite disappointed.
"Three hundred years ago, there were more than 10,000 Dark Night tribe members in the heart of the earth. Even if they were not qualified and could not cultivate to the depths, they could at least continue to reproduce. Why would they be completely extinct after three hundred years?" Li Muran was puzzled.
He felt that the disappearance of the Dark Night Clan must have another mystery.
The Demon Soul said: "Generally speaking, the sudden extinction of a population is nothing more than two reasons. The first is that it encounters natural disasters. For example, the terrible heavenly fire and thunder falls somewhere and can destroy a city in an instant. This phenomenon occurs every once in the Demon Realm. Second, it is man-made disasters. Whether dying from internal fighting or being invaded by foreign races, it may lead to the extinction of the population. This happens almost every day in the Demon Realm. You can check it carefully here to see what the cause is."
Li Muran nodded. He searched for clues left by the Dark Night tribe members in this dead city. However, this dead city has been abandoned for at least a hundred years, and it is probably difficult to find traces of that year.
Li Muran carefully searched - this is exactly what he is best at. Li Muran is flexible and pays special attention to details. Some details that are often overlooked often contain important letters in Li Muran's opinion.
Half an hour later, the demon soul asked Li Muran: "How? Have you found any clues?"
Li Muran shook his head and said, "At present, it is only certain that this is not a natural disaster. There are no signs of landslides, nor are there any signs of submerged rivers. As for the fire and lightning strikes, there are no similar traces left."
"It's not a natural disaster, it's a man-made disaster," said the Demon Soul, "What do you think about this?"
Li Muran frowned and said, "I carefully checked the Dixin City, but there were no obvious signs of fighting, nor were there exposed corpses, which meant that they should not have died in internal fighting."
"It's not internal fighting, it's foreign enemies," said the Demon Soul Interface: "It seems that the foreign enemies must be very strong."
If foreign enemies invade, the Dark Night Clan members in the Dixin City will most likely resist with all their might, but there are no traces of fighting here, which means that the foreign enemies must be extremely powerful and instantly subdued the Dark Night Clan members, or they are so powerful that the Dark Night Clan members dare not resist at all.
"Can't even find the corpse here? Could it be that the foreign enemy has destroyed the bodies of the Dark Night clan members?" Li Muran sighed and said.
"It's not impossible," said the Demon Soul: "For high-level immortal cultivators, to destroy these corpses, you only need to stretch your finger and bounce it gently. A faint wisp of true fire is enough to turn these corpses into blue smoke."
"Since it is an invasion of foreign enemies, there may be something that does not belong to the Dark Night Clan. Even if you search through this central city, you will still have to find out which force is destroying the Dark Night Clan," Li Muran murmured.
The Dixin City became a dead city, but there were no obvious signs of fighting and no remains of corpses. This shows that this invasion was made up of careful deployment and planning. Not only did the Dixin City be captured in one fell swoop, but the aftermath was also dealt with Yu Yu Jingjing.
This time, he searched more carefully. Under the ruins, he didn't let go of every brick, every tile, every grass, every tree, no matter how much he was.
After searching for a long time, he finally found a special feather in the ruins.
This feather is about two feet long and is bright in color. Although it has been separated by too long, the spiritual energy of the feather has collapsed and is left with little left, Li Muran can still roughly judge that the owner of this feather should be a demon bird, and at least has a level seven equivalent to the early stage of the Dharma image.
"The clan leader of the Dark Night Clan only had the cultivation level during the Divine Travel Period. They definitely did not have the ability to obtain the materials of the seventh-level demon bird. Could this feather be something that was accidentally left by the foreign enemies who invaded the Dark Night Clan?" Li Muran thought to himself.
"If this is true, the one who invaded the Dark Night Clan back then might be the demon bird clan, or the half-human feathered human race," Li Muran said intimately.
Just from this feather that has been out of the body for hundreds of years, it is difficult to tell whether it comes from a certain feathered monk or a demon bird.
