Chapter 391 Experience in the Shadow World
Li Xiuchang couldn't see the specific battle situation below from above, he could only see a ray of ascension shining down every once in a while.
But after a while, the ascension ray would fade again.
Before the other brothers and sisters came, there would be at most one ascension ray, because only Brother Motu could attract the ascension ray.
And now, there would be at most five ascension ray at the same time.
Those who came out of the shadow world seemed to have mastered the ability to evade the rules of ascension.
As the battle situation changed from five on one to five on five, the damage caused became even more terrifying. This level of battle was extremely rare in the Immortal Shadow Realm, and it might have never happened before.
The weakest of these ten people might have the cultivation of Xuanxian, and all ten of them had the means to evade ascension and could go all out.
In an instant, the surrounding seawater evaporated, revealing the dry seabed.
The aftermath of the fight between the two sides spread out, setting off a terrifying tsunami.
In the center of the battlefield, the space was torn into countless pieces, and that one Dao was broken, and even the Dao that constituted the heaven and earth could not withstand it and temporarily collapsed.
Fortunately, this doomsday scene did not last too long...
Senior Brother Motu could withstand the siege of five people by himself. Now that his teammates came, the battle naturally became one-sided.
But what really stopped both sides was the new support from the other side.
A shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and finally turned into a burly figure.
It was a tall man, more than two meters tall, standing in the air like a big tree, and the shadow cast was particularly huge.
Li Xiuchang didn't even notice how the other party came over, and he just appeared directly above his head.
Beside the burly man, there was a bird with a big mouth, standing there obediently, not daring to move, like a stone sculpture.
Pelican...Li Xiuchang was relieved to see that the big mouth was still alive. This bird is really lucky. These people did their best not to kill it.
The pelican shrank in size and was as well-behaved as a quail.
"Everyone, please stop for now. If you have anything to say, you can sit down and talk slowly." The burly man said, his voice like thunder piercing into the battlefield below.
The others also gave face, and the battle below soon stopped.
When everything was calm, Li Xiuchang could see the situation below clearly...
In addition to Senior Brother Motu, Zhang Wanzhi, Gui Wuyan and Lu Yang and his wife came.
Senior Brother Chen Changsheng's body was still outside the fairy shade and did not come.
Among the mysterious people who fought with the five senior brothers and sisters, three have been captured.
If this burly man came a little later, the remaining two would probably have the same fate.
This is because the senior brothers and sisters did not want to kill people, but only wanted to capture them alive. If they were going to kill people, the battle would probably have ended long ago.
The burly man fell down and stood with the two of them, saying: "I don't know what we have done to offend you, so you are chasing us?"
This question made Motu and the others not know how to answer for a while.
Indeed, from the other side's point of view, they have never offended anyone.
I just want to live in seclusion on the sea in peace and do not want to be involved in any disputes. I have no feud with Motu and the others.
The two sides did not know each other before.
It was indeed Zhang Wanzhi and the other three who had been chasing them relentlessly, forcing them to hide everywhere and abandon their homes where they had lived for many years to wander around.
Speaking of which, they were really wrong.
Lu Yang said in a gentle voice: "We have no ill intentions. We just want to have a good talk with you, so we have never used heavy hands and have not hurt any of you. It is not our wish to disturb your life, but we have reasons to do so. If we offend you, please forgive us."
Beside the burly man, a thin and short old man who had just fought with Motu and the others said:
"It is meaningless to say these now. We just want to end this matter and continue to return to our peaceful life."
It can be seen that the thin old man and the burly man should be the leaders of this group of people. The other young male cultivator who just joined the battle stood one step behind the two of them, and did not speak, relying entirely on the two in front to make decisions.
Li Xiuchang concluded from this that the male cultivator standing behind and the three people caught by Senior Brother Motu and his group might all be Xuanxian cultivators.
The burly man and the thin old man who were in charge of this group of people might be Jinxian cultivators, and their strength was at the same level as Senior Brother Motu and his group.
Zhang Wanzhi, who was in charge of diplomacy, said at this time: "What are your names?"
The burly man paused, and then said: "Before, others called me Tianqing Taoist."
Tianqing Taoist, what an arrogant title! But... I have never heard of it.
Zhang Wanzhi and Li Xiuchang and others racked their brains, but they couldn't remember the existence of this person.
The thin old man had just fought with Zhang Wanzhi and his group, and now he was still holding back his anger, and snorted and said: "I am Lingze Sanren."
Another unknown person... Zhang Wanzhi and his group communicated privately and confirmed that they had never heard of this name.
Logically speaking, if these people all came out after entering the shadow world, they should be the missing people of the Xianyin world.
Before they disappeared, they should have been famous.
But it is also possible that the names they reported were made up.
"So you are Taoist Tianqing and Sanren Lingze. I have heard of your great names for a long time. I am so sorry for your disrespect!" Zhang Wanzhi's eyes were filled with excitement, as if he had seen the legendary figures.
Regardless of whether he was real or fake, even if he knew that he was just pretending, Zhang Wanzhi did give them enough face, making both Taoist Tianqing and Lingze Sanren look a little brighter.
Next, Zhang Wanzhi introduced himself and everyone else, but he used fake names.
In any case, the two sides now have a preliminary understanding.
Only Li Xiuchang was still hiding in the dark and did not show up.
Zhang Wanzhi suggested: "As the first step in our friendly exchanges, we must first show the sincerity and goodwill of both parties. I propose that the two parties exchange hostages and exchange the three people in our hands for the bird in your hands. What do you think?" "
Taoist Tianqing showed hesitation... Three for one, they must have made a profit, but the problem is that this bird is too evil!
Several times in succession, their hiding place was breached by the bird.
Let the birds return to the mountains, the consequences will be endless!
But at this time, he couldn't ignore the life and death of his own people for a bird.
So I could only nod in agreement to the exchange.
The two sides completed the hostage exchange and the atmosphere relaxed a lot.
The red-haired old man who was put back took out the sleeping child from the beast control bag. The child was affected by the charm of the succubus doll and fell into a deep sleep. He has not yet woken up.
The red-haired old man said to Motu: "Where did you take the children's parents?"
Motu glanced at him: "I have been besieged by the five of you from the beginning to the end. How can I know what you don't know?"
The red-haired old man was speechless, and Zhang Wanzhi quickly smoothed things over and said: "Perhaps we have chased them all the way. Don't worry, the juniors know the importance of their actions. Nothing will happen. Let's chat first. Maybe they will come back after a while. "
The red-haired old man was actually not in a hurry, because he knew that the child's father had six helpers with him, so it seemed that their side had a greater chance of winning.
The red-haired old man exchanged a few words with Taoist Tianqing and Lingze Sanren. They did not waste any time on this matter and said directly:
"If you have anything you want to ask, just say it here. I just hope that after I answer your questions, you won't disturb our lives again in the future."
"That's natural." Zhang Wanzhi agreed, and then his eyes scanned the faces of the people opposite, observing their expressions, and tentatively asked: "You must have entered Immortal Shadow, right?"
After a few breaths of silence, Taoist Tianqing nodded: "That's right."
"What happened after you entered Immortal Shadow?"
Zhang Wanzhi did not directly ask them whether they had entered the shadow world, but let them talk about their experiences in the Immortal Shadow.
I want to verify whether they are telling the truth.
Taoist Tianqing and others looked at each other, and finally Lingze Sanren answered:
"We have all entered Immortal Shadow. Everyone has different experiences and encountered different dangers. It is impossible to tell you everything. I believe that is not what you want to know. What you want to ask is us. Have you ever had a common experience, right?”
Zhang Wanzhi nodded, put away his smile, and rarely became serious: "That's right."
If his guess was correct, these people had all entered the shadow world and escaped from that world.
Lingze Sanren didn't mince words and said directly: "We, a group of people, have indeed had the same experience. It is this experience that has changed us, made us stay away from the crowd, and allowed us, who had never met each other, to live together as a team. Together.
"We all disappeared in the Immortal Shadow for a period of time back then, but we didn't simply encounter danger, but entered another world."
His words also confirmed the information Li Xiuchang and the others currently knew.
While speaking, Lingze Sanren was also observing the expressions of Zhang Wanzhi and others, and seeing that they showed no signs of surprise, he said:
"Sure enough, you already knew this. Can you please tell me how you learned about it?"
Motu said: "We have contacted several people who have had the same experience as you."
Zhang Wanzhi took over and said: "Like you, they are very secretive about that experience. This makes me very curious about what is so special about that experience, or that world, that you don't want to mention."
Taoist Tianqing thought for a few breaths and sighed: "There is nothing that can't be said. It's just that the world is very strange. We all went through a lot of hardships and had good luck to escape from there. But after we left there, we In hindsight, we have been changed a lot by that strange world.”
What is in that world?
Before Zhang Wanzhi could ask further questions, Taoist Tianqing continued: "When I first entered that world, I was shocked. There was darkness in the Immortal Shadow, and there were shadows everywhere, but when I entered that world, it was all bright!
"There is sunshine that never stops from morning to night, shining into every blind corner, and you can't even find a shadow on the ground. There are many rare and rare grasses growing there, some of which are only heard in legends, and some are even heard of. Never heard of it.
"But it's also dangerous there, with countless monsters. If I hadn't had a lot of self-defense means at the time, I might have died there!"
Taoist Tianqing paused for a few breaths before saying: "Of course the most bizarre thing is the giant tree above our heads. It is so big that it blocks the sky and the sun, but it cannot block the sun and cannot cast even the slightest shade!
“At that time, I blindly identified a direction and kept running, hoping to run out of that world. I would rather return to Xianyin than stay in that world without shadows. Everything there was too strange and overturned my common sense. I kept running and running. Suddenly, the surroundings became dark. I couldn’t see any light, only endless darkness. I was so happy at that time that I thought I was back to Xianyin...
“But later I realized that I was still in that world. Darkness was the norm in that world. The area full of sunshine was an abnormal area, just like our Xianyin! "
Zhang Wanzhi and others looked at each other. They already knew most of what Tianqing Taoist said, but it was not so specific and clear. Many of them were information they had deduced through various clues before.
And now Tianqing Taoist helped them enrich and consolidate their impression of the shadow world.
Li Xiuchang also heard it clearly above. Now thinking carefully, the shadow world is completely the opposite of the Xianyin Realm!
The entire world of Xianyin Realm is normal, only the Xianyin area is in shadow.
The shadow world is dark, and only one area has sunlight.
There is also the Tongtian Immortal Tree. The Tongtian Immortal Tree in the Xianyin Realm is gone, but there is a Tongtian Immortal Tree without shade in the sunlight of the shadow world.
The shadow world and the Xianyin Realm seem to be two opposites.
Of course, the shadow world is not what they care about most. They understand the shadow world just to rescue Wang Jingxing.
What they care more about is what Wang Jingxing experienced in the shadow world that led to those abnormalities?
"What did you experience in that world? Why don't you want to return to your original family or sect after you get out, but choose to live in seclusion on the sea?" Zhang Wanzhi asked.
Lingze Sanren laughed at himself: "What did you go through? We don't know what we went through! Some of us were trapped in there for a few months, and some were trapped for decades, but all we did along the way was to survive and find a way out, nothing else.
"According to the experience of all of us escaping, the exit of that world connecting to the Xianyin world is in that Xianyang land... We call that sunny place "Xianyang", which corresponds to Xianyin.
"Just like we didn't know how to enter that world from Xianyin at that time, we didn't know how to return to the Xianyin world from that world. We only knew that we wandered in Xianyang and suddenly returned to Xianyin.
"After returning, we were fortunate, excited, and couldn't wait to return to our relatives and friends, but at this time we discovered the problem with ourselves, and we seemed to have lost a lot of memories!" (End of this chapter)
