The years are long and time is passing by.

In the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed.

For warriors, five years is an era. Every five years, a new generation of geniuses will rise, and some aging warriors will pass away.

But for a monk, ten years is just a short journey.

A foundation-building monk can have a lifespan of two hundred years, and a Void Core realm can have a lifespan of three hundred years or more, which is far longer than that of a warrior. The replacement of monks is also much slower than that of warriors, and it often takes decades to replace one generation.

Due to the existence of Chen Mu, the Wusheng Realm regained its orthodoxy and spread it bit by bit. However, it will not be possible to truly restore it to the same level as the Outer Realm in just a few decades.

even.

In a short period of time, the inheritance of Taoism will not be able to replace martial arts.

Because it is easier to get started in martial arts, and no spiritual roots or qualifications are required. As long as there are certain resources, even the most stupid person can become a ninth-level warrior and gain entry.

However, the inheritance of Taoism is much more obscure. Without spiritual roots, there is no hope of getting started. Moreover, looking at the entire Inanimate Realm, there are only a few serious monks. It will take at least hundreds of years for the true inheritance to develop.

After Chen Mu passed down the Taoism to the Martial Temple, he no longer paid attention to the inheritance of Taoism.

Let everything take its course.

In the past thirty years, there have been basically no natural or man-made disasters in Dayuan. It has been peaceful and stable, and under Xiyu's governance, it has become increasingly prosperous.

As for Chen Mu, the Heavenly Master, on that day, he almost never appeared in front of people after sending those who wanted to seek the Tao to the outside world.

Only occasionally will some decrees be issued.

Let the world know that Chen Mu, the Heavenly Master, is still in the Inanimate Realm, so that some monks from outside the realm who stayed in the Inanimate Realm for various reasons are safe and sound, and do not dare to cause trouble.

In the past thirty years, Xiyu had considered incorporating Nanli into the territory of the Great Yuan Dynasty, transforming Nanli into the Nanli Prefecture of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and defining the ten states of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

It's just that Nanli's customs and customs are very different from those of Dayuan. Although the barrier between the two sides is nothing due to Chen Mu's existence, it will take time to fully integrate.

And just when Xiyu started this matter.

Something unexpected happened to Nanli.

…

Nanli.

Ningfeng City.

In the past thirty years, many aristocratic families in Ningfeng City have experienced rise and fall.

The three families of Hua, Liu, and Sun, which once combined together could barely compete with the Lu family, are now far behind the Lu family. The entire Ningfeng City is dominated by the Lu family.

In the past thirty years, although the Lu family has not produced another grandmaster, it has given birth to more than ten fourth-level martial arts masters, and there are also several family members who have spiritual roots, have walked the path, and have completed the foundation.

Naturally, it would be difficult for the other families to compete with the Lu family.

The old patriarch of the Hua family, who has resigned as the head of the family, often sighs for this. If the people who met Chen Mu were not the Lu family but the Hua family, then they would be the ones who are prosperous now.

Just from the moment Lu Shiyun met Chen Mu and met Chen Mu's needs just right, the prosperity of the Lu family was already destined.

but.

Recently, Ningfeng City has been very uneasy.

It was dusk and it was getting dark. All the pedestrians on the street quickened their pace and looked a little nervous, as if they were avoiding something.

Before it gets completely dark, all the streets are completely empty of pedestrians.

Looking down from the sky above Ningfeng City, one can see that all the streets in Ningfeng City, even the courtyards, were completely silent with no one walking around.

On the roof of one of the tallest pavilions in the city.

Several figures stood and were observing the situation in various parts of the city.

One of them has gray hair and is already very old. His energy and blood are unstable. Although he maintains the level of a master, he seems to be falling down at any time.

This old man is the ancestor of the Lu family.

At his age, he should actually be unable to maintain the status of a master. The reason why he can maintain it so far is because he has received the inheritance of Taoism, learned a lot from it, and maintained his energy and blood, so that he can still barely maintain the status of a master. realm.

"It's coming again."

The ancestor of the Lu family showed a solemn look in his cloudy eyes.

About three months ago, Ningfeng City began to experience abnormalities.

After nightfall, strange figures will appear on the streets. These figures are vague and wander aimlessly along the streets. Once contacted by these figures, any living creature, whether human or livestock, will be instantly destroyed. Disappeared out of thin air, as if evaporating without leaving a trace.

At first, there were very few people in these mold lakes, and everyone who touched them disappeared out of thin air, so no one noticed it for a long time. It was not until more and more people disappeared in the city that the Lu family was finally alerted.

At first, the Lu family didn't care.

I just thought it was some evil spirit.

But after a fourth-level warrior from the Lu family accidentally touched the wandering figure in Mohu and disappeared out of thin air on the spot, it finally caused a shock.

Even the ancestor of the Lu family, who had stopped taking care of things long ago, was alerted and investigated the matter together with the two monks from the Lu family who had completed the foundation building.

Then it was discovered.

These unclear figures in the lake have nothing to do with ghosts and ghosts, and they do not possess any sinister aura. They look like they are just illusions in the lake.

But as long as a living person touches it, it will disappear immediately.

and.

Every time a living person disappears, one more vague figure will appear!

Due to the late discovery at the beginning and the lack of time to deal with it, the number of figures wandering around Mohu Lake at night has now reached 381!

This is a shocking number, because even fourth-grade warriors will disappear out of thin air if they touch this figure. The ancestor of the Lu family and the two foundation-building monks of the Lu family have both seen the disappearance with their own eyes, and they can't notice it at all. There are no traces, and I can’t even figure out the process of disappearance.

This also means that if they touch those figures, they will probably disappear out of thin air!

There are more than three hundred such figures.

How appalling!

So much so that today's Ningfeng City is almost shrouded in terror. Every household stays behind closed doors every night. They don't even dare to speak loudly at night. It's as silent as a dead city.

The only advantage is that although these mock figures are weird, their wandering speed is not much different from ordinary people. They will not accelerate suddenly and will not cross the wall. They will only wander on the street.

"coming!"

Lu Chen spoke in a deep voice.

He is a junior of the Lu family, but he possesses spiritual roots and has reached a minor level of foundation building. In terms of realm, he is comparable to a fourth-level warrior, but his strength is far stronger than that of a warrior of the same level. His status in the Lu family is second only to the ancestor of the Lu family.

As his voice fell.

I saw the last ray of light on the horizon disappear.

Then, a large number of people suddenly appeared out of thin air on the streets of Ningfeng City.

These figures are not scattered, but concentrated in a street and alley. Each one appears unclear, as if it is just a virtual image gathered by the fog.

"..."

The ancestor of the Lu family looked solemn.

If it were some kind of ghost, he wouldn't be afraid, and the Lu family wouldn't be afraid either, but this kind of weirdness that he couldn't figure out at all and couldn't find the root of it made him feel chilly in his heart.

Look carefully.

You can see the gathered figures sitting or squatting along both sides of the street. There are some figures wandering in the middle of the street, stopping here and there from time to time.

This scene looks very familiar. If it were placed in the daytime, if it were a living person, it would look like a lively market.

But on this night, it seemed extremely strange.

"Today is indeed the market again."

Lu Chen spoke in a deep voice.

The behavior of these lake-like figures is very regular. First, they only appear at night, and secondly, they behave very much like ordinary people living in the city.

There is a market every five days in the city, and these figures in the lake also have a market every five days.

"These figures do follow rules. As long as they know these rules, ordinary people can avoid danger, but they appear like this every night..."

The ancestor of the Lu family shook his head.

After understanding the movement patterns of human figures, it is indeed not difficult to avoid danger. As long as you don't go out at night and try to avoid these figures when you go out, you will be fine.

But the problem is that this happens every night, which has caused panic in the entire Ningfeng City, and no one is sure whether this situation will change again.

What if these figures suddenly can cross the wall?

Or it may start to appear during the day.

Then this huge Ningfeng City will probably collapse soon!

"When will the second sister come back?"

Lu Chen stared at the blur of figures on the street for a while, then turned around and asked.

The ancestor of the Lu family shook his head slightly and said: "She should already know. As long as there is nothing major, she will probably come back soon."
