Tiankou Town.

Located on the periphery of the Tianji Sect and close to the edge of the Minghan Empire, it has always been very prosperous. Although it is a small town, it is often visited by cultivator merchants. In addition, with the Tianji Sect guarding it, this small town is gradually developing into a low-level cultivation city.

But all this disappeared like a bubble after the Tianji Sect was destroyed.

There are many bandits in the Tianji Mountains. In addition to these bandits, commerce is monopolized by the Minghan Tianshang Alliance stationed in the Tianji Sect. Ordinary merchants who want to transport goods through this place are simply looking for death.

At this moment, a flying car magic weapon landed on the outskirts of Tiankou Town. Four people came down from the flying car. These four were exactly Pu Qian and the others who were ordered by Mo Wuji to return to Tiankou Town to wait for him. However, after they walked into Tiankou Town, they were all stunned by the scene.

Tiankou Town was almost in ruins. Some corpses that had not completely rotted could still be seen in the streets. The prosperous town of the past was now like hell, gloomy and terrifying.

"These beasts." Sang Yiping clenched her fists and said sternly.

Pu Qian subconsciously grabbed his wolf fang club and said in a low voice, "Indeed, they are a bunch of beasts."

The few of them were silent. Tianji Town had become like this, could it still be rebuilt? Even if it were rebuilt, would anyone dare to come to this place?

A few minutes later, a shrill scream awakened the four of them. A caravan rushed towards them in a panic. Behind the caravan, dozens of bandits were chasing after them, brandishing their broadswords. A woman who was running a little slower was caught up by a bandit who chopped off her head with a single blow. It rolled a long distance.

"It's Bei Fangjian's men, the twenty-sixth prince of the Minghan Empire. What do we do?" Nie Zhengnong gripped his long sword, the veins on his hands bulging.

Bei Fangjian of the Minghan Empire forcibly rented the auxiliary peak of the Tianji Sect and had been doing evil on the periphery of the Tianji Sect. As a disciple of the Tianji Sect, Nie Zhengnong was too familiar with him.

Before Sang Yiping could speak, Pu Qian sneered and said, "What to do? Senior Brother Sect Leader has already instructed us, just kill them all."

After saying this, Pu Qian had already rushed into the bandit group.

Sang Yiping also said with red eyes, "Naturally, we will listen to Senior Brother Sect Leader, just kill them all."

Before Sang Yiping and the others could rush over, Pu Qian was already like a tiger in a flock of sheep. The wolf fang club stirred up waves of Yuan Power. These charging bandits fell to the ground from their horses like dumplings.

In just a dozen breaths, all dozens of bandits were killed by Pu Qian.

A group of merchants who had escaped death stopped in shock. A middle-aged man in brown linen clothes walked up to Pu Qian and knelt directly on the ground. "Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving our lives."

When the other surviving merchants saw the man kneeling, they knelt down one after another to thank the Immortal Master for saving their lives. Although everyone had the pain of losing relatives and friends in their eyes, they dared not express it now.

Sang Yiping walked over and said, "You all get up."

"Yes." These people were ordinary merchants. Although there were a few cultivators who had cultivated to the Devoid Mortal Realm, they were like ants in front of real cultivators.

"Where do you come from? Don't you know that the Tianji Sect has been destroyed? How dare you transport goods from here?" Sang Yiping asked several questions in a row.

The middle-aged merchant sighed, "We were originally merchants of the Minghan Empire. My name is Fang Changxu. After the Tianji Sect had an accident, we haven't traveled this trade route for a year. We came here this time, hoping to get lucky. More than a dozen of our caravans came together, but we didn't expect this to happen. When we came, there were more than two hundred people, but now there are only fifty or sixty people left."

There was another more important reason that he did not say. For ordinary merchants like them, without the protection of Immortal Masters, they existed in the cracks. If they did not do cross-border business for a long time, they would soon disappear into the vast sea of commerce. It was already a long time to be able to support themselves for a year without traveling this trade route.

Sang Yiping pondered slightly and said, "I am a member of the Tianji Sect. Our new Sect Leader of the Tianji Sect is preparing to rebuild the Tianji Sect, and will also rebuild Tiankou Town..."

Before Sang Yiping could finish her words, a look of joy appeared on Fang Changxu's face. Not only Fang Changxu, but everyone else also had a look of joy on their faces.

Pu Qian and the others sighed secretly when they saw this. These merchants had almost been killed just now, and there must have been their relatives and friends among those who were killed. But they were so happy to hear that the Tianji Sect was going to be rebuilt. It could be seen that this trade route was where they lived. Without this trade route, they would not be able to survive even if they were not killed by bandits. With the protection of the Tianji Sect, at least they could survive.

Whether it was cultivators or mortals, survival was always difficult. Cultivators were looking for cultivation resources for the sake of cultivation. Mortals were looking for a bite to eat in order to survive.

"Thank you, Immortal Master. We can only survive with the Tianji Sect. If the Tianji Sect needs our help to rebuild, Immortal Master, please tell us." Fang Changxu and several other merchants knelt down again.

"Senior Brother Pu, what do you think we should do?" Sang Yiping turned to look at Pu Qian. Senior Brother Sect Leader was not here, and Pu Qian was the strongest here.

Pu Qian waved his hand and said, "Junior Sister Yiping, you make the decision on these matters. I only know how to fight, and I don't understand anything else."

Hearing this, Sang Yiping said to Fang Changxu and the others again, "Now we have killed many bandits. If you continue to move forward, you are likely to be chased by bandits who come to take revenge. I suggest that you stay in Tiankou Town temporarily and help us clean up Tiankou Town. We will make a decision after our Senior Brother Sect Leader arrives."

"We will listen to the Immortal Master." Fang Changxu and the others had no objection.

As Sang Yiping said, the bandits who were chasing them had been wiped out. The bandit gang would definitely send someone to investigate. Once they found them, they would be dead no matter whether they advanced or retreated. And their request was just to survive.

Fang Changxu even said, "Immortal Masters, leave the task of cleaning up Tiankou Town to us. We will definitely clean it up again, and even rebuild it."

He knew very well that the bandits would not give up and would definitely come again. These Immortal Masters needed to find a way to deal with the bandits. They were merchants and should help the Immortal Masters of the Tianji Sect clean up Tiankou Town and not let the Immortal Masters do the work.

Sang Yiping nodded. "Then I will leave it to you. After Tiankou Town is rebuilt, you can all choose a shop in Tiankou Town. It will be a gift from our Tianji Sect."

Fang Changxu and the others nodded obsequiously. They didn't really care about the shops in Tiankou Town. Even if the Tianji Sect rebuilt Tiankou Town, bandits would come to this place. They could use the Tianji Sect to travel this trade route, but staying in Tiankou Town was not wise.

After many merchants drove their vehicles into Tiankou Town, Sang Yiping said, "We have killed those bandits, and the bandit den will definitely not give up. Let's discuss a solution first, at least until Senior Brother Sect Leader comes."

Pu Qian said indifferently, "They are just a bunch of bandits. We will kill one if they come, and kill two if they come in pairs. When Senior Brother Sect Leader comes, we will go to their door and kill them all."

……

On the square in front of the Wentian Steps of Wentian Academy, with the help of healing elixirs, Lei Hongji's broken leg had been restored. He looked up at the Wentian Steps above and felt the many amazed and admiring gazes. He was still very satisfied.

Unfortunately, there was a problem with the Wentian Ranking. Otherwise, he, Lei Hongji, would be the first on the Wentian Ranking.

At this moment, a flying sword cut through the space and landed. Only transmission flying swords that did not carry attacks could pass through the mountain-protecting array of Wentian Academy. Obviously, the flying sword that cut through the air was a transmission flying sword.

Everyone looked at the transmission flying sword, which landed in Lei Hongji's hands.

Lei Hongji grabbed the flying sword in confusion and took out a short letter. Then his whole body trembled.

"Hongji, what's wrong?" Xu Chihuang, who had been paying close attention to the few geniuses, walked over. He paid special attention to Lei Hongji. This top-grade thunder spirit root cultivator gave him great surprises. He believed that this top-grade thunder spirit root cultivator would become more and more shining in the True Morrow Continent. In the future, he would definitely have a place on the Starry Sky Ranking.

Seeing that it was Immortal King, Lei Hongji quickly bowed and saluted. Then he held back his grief and said, "My Lei family was slaughtered not long ago, and not even a woman or child was left."

Xu Chihuang frowned slightly and then asked, "Do you want to go back for revenge?"

Lei Hongji took a deep breath and said word by word, "I already know who the enemy is. I will go to the True Morrow Continent with the seniors of the True Morrow Continent. One day in the future, I will eventually come back."

He did know who the enemy was. The flying sword wrote it very clearly, saying that he saw a group of remnants of the Tianji Sect killing their way into the Yulin Lei family. It was not certain that he could find these remnants if he went back now. Even if he found them, it would waste a lot of time. Xia, the special envoy of the True Morrow Continent, would definitely not wait for him. This was his intuition.

Xu Chihuang nodded in satisfaction. "Very good."

After saying this, he raised his hand and sacrificed a huge flying ship. He said to everyone, "Everyone, get on the ship. We will leave immediately."

……

When the flying ship of the True Morrow Continent left with a group of genius disciples recruited from the Lost Continent, Mo Wuji had already arrived at a border city near the Wuhen Sword Sect. He didn't know where the old nest of the Jiyue Pill Pavilion was. He only knew that there was a Jiyue Pill Pavilion in the border city.

The Jiyue Pill Pavilion's pill building still existed. Mo Wuji did not enter the pill building because he saw that the name of the pill building had been changed. It was originally the Jiyue Pill Pavilion, but now it had become the Jian Ting Pill Pavilion.

"Friend, do you need to buy any pills?" A shop assistant saw Mo Wuji standing at the door and hurriedly walked over and asked.

Mo Wuji cupped his fists. "May I ask, what happened to the original Jiyue Pill Pavilion here?"

"What do you want from the Jiyue Pill Pavilion?" The shop assistant immediately revealed a vigilant look and began to size up Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji smiled slightly. "I am an alchemist. I owe the Jiyue Pill Pavilion a few Golden Core Pills. I came here today to deliver them..."

Golden Core Pill? The shop assistant almost cried out in surprise. This was a pill for crossing from the Mortal Realm to the Earth Realm. It was extremely rare, something that could not be bought even with spirit stones. He actually heard someone say that he was delivering Golden Core Pills to the sect.
