"pilgrimage?"

The man put down his wine glass and asked without hesitation.

Another man frowned and glared at him.

The other party showed a regretful expression on his face, and he obviously realized something.

"Of course, go..."

The waiter was about to answer, but suddenly his face changed.

The waiter sternly said: "You don't even know how to pilgrimage, you are from outside..."

What the waiter wanted to do, a ray of light instantly fell into the waiter's head.

The waiter's voice stopped abruptly, and his eyes showed a confused expression, which was obviously controlled by his soul.

Yang Feng's eyes showed a faint light, looking at the waiter's eyes.

Almost the moment the waiter shouted, a man flicked his hand, causing the whole room to be covered with a layer of blue light, and there was no way to hear any sound.

The man blushed and said, "Sorry, I..."

Another man waved his hand and said, "It's okay, but fortunately we move quickly!"

Yang Feng asked, "Tell me, what is a pilgrimage?"

This is a kind of ecstasy technique, because it cannot use the power of the soul, it is very weak, but the waiter in front of me is just a mortal, so it is naturally enough.

The waiter replied: "Pilgrimage is a tradition left over from ancient times to the present. Every sixty years, people from various cities will go to Yuecheng in batches under the leadership of the city lord to listen to the teachings of the Holy Lord. This year is called the year of pilgrimage."

"Since you're just going to meet the Holy Lord, why do you have to bring all the money and soft things with you, like a migrating?" Yang Feng continued to ask.

"Because everyone wants to be chosen, the Holy Lord will bring blessings to those lucky people and give them more fertile land." The waiter replied without hesitation.

"What does the selected person mean? What about those who were not selected?" Yang Feng asked again.

"All those who can be selected are the most devout believers, this is the most supreme glory... Those who have not been selected can only return to their original city."

When the waiter said this, he looked envious.

When Yang Feng and the other two heard this, they looked at each other and saw a little surprised in each other's eyes. It turned out that this was the case with those empty cities.

The holy lord in the waiter's mouth is probably the lord of Tsukishima.

"What else do you know about the Holy Lord?" Jiao Jiu asked.

"The Holy Lord has given us rich land and protect us from peace for generations..."

The waiter talked a lot, but for Yang Feng and the others, it was useless information.

"You seem to be very hostile to outsiders. Is this also the Holy Lord's teaching?"

Yang Feng shook his head, interrupted the waiter's words, and continued to ask.

"Yes! The outsiders are all overseas demons, coveting the wealth of our Yuedao. Once discovered, they must immediately notify the city lord and kill them all."

The waiter continued to say in a daze, and a cold and harsh breath came from his words.

Jiao Shiliu snorted lightly, and Jiao Jiu showed a hint of contemplation on his face.

Yang Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, his thoughts changed sharply, and he asked a few questions about Master Yuedao, that is, the Holy Lord. Unfortunately, this waiter was just a mortal. He didn't know much and didn't ask much.

Yang Feng signaled Jiao Jiu to put away the blue light shield in the private room, recited a few spells in his mouth, and a crystal light appeared in his eyes, flashing away.

The waiter's body shook suddenly, and his eyes immediately returned to clear light, and he looked around in a daze.

"Okay, there's nothing you can do here, let's go down." Yang Feng said calmly.

He had just cast a spell to erase some of the waiter's memories.

"Yes, the three guests will use it slowly."

The waiter's mind was still a little hazy, so he laughed apologetically and stepped out.

"So that's what happened to those empty cities, but we've thought too much."

Jiao Shiliu smiled and said.

"From now on, there is some information worth pondering. Since all the people in the city have set out for a pilgrimage, that is, the Lord of Yue Island should now accept the pilgrimage in the so-called holy city of Yuecheng?" Jiao Jiu said in a deep thought.

Yang Feng nodded thoughtfully, and the content of the jade slip given to them by Jiao San could not help but appear in his mind.

The map is very simple, and there are not many cities marked out, but there is indeed a city called Yuecheng, which is only a considerable distance from the Water City.

I am afraid that if these mortals want to go on a pilgrimage, there must be some special means for high-level immortal cultivators to bring them there, otherwise they may not have arrived for their entire lives at their speed.

"You said, do we want to communicate with other people?"

Jiao Shiliu was also delighted, obviously thinking of the same thing.

"In my opinion, we learned this information so easily, it is impossible for the people of the Impermanent Alliance to find out. Since the Lord of the Tsuki Island they reported was in, there should be some reason for it. After all, the waiter just now may be just a rumor in the secular world."

Yang Feng thought about it and said this.

"We should follow the plan and go to the water city first, find the lurking people in the alliance before making plans." Jiao Jiu nodded and said.

After the three agreed, they quickly left Ancheng quietly.

During the next trip, the three of them passed by many towns, including many empty cities, accounting for almost 20 to 30%.

Already knowing the reasons for these empty cities, the three of them did not stay along the way.

Three days later, a black city more than ten feet high stood on a plain that stretched for thousands of miles.

Thousands of hectares of fertile fields outside the city are surrounded by several tributaries divided by a large river leading to the seaside, and divide into fields of different sizes and shapes.

A main branch of the river was pulled by a man-made river channel, passing through a green rice field, surrounding the entire city, forming a moat more than ten feet wide.

It was early morning, and the suspension bridge leading to the city had not yet been put down. Outside the city were hundreds of ordinary people, most of whom were carrying their hands on their shoulders or carrying carriages, pushing many bulging goods, waiting for the city gate to open.

Among the crowd, three figures wearing cloth clothes and hats were standing close together, looking like ordinary farmers here, and were very inconspicuous.

They are not others, but Yang Feng and the other two who sneaked all the way and transformed into appearance.

The rising sun just shone on the big word "Water City" engraved on the city, and a loud bell sounded in the city.

Immediately afterwards, a "staggering" sound came from the city wall, and the thick suspension bridge slowly descended under the thick black iron chains.

People who had been waiting for a long time began to step onto the suspension bridge and entered the city one after another.

There is only a tall gate under the city, with several Nascent Soul Cultivators on both sides of each side. The heads have the cultivation level of the God Transformation Stage, all of which are in dark blue robes, and a blood-colored crescent moon is engraved on their chests.

Although Yang Feng could not use his spiritual sense to explore, he knew that there must be other people with higher cultivation in the city.

After observations from several cities, this Yuedao, like other islands, is surrounded by immortal cultivators and mortals, and these mortals seem to be used to the existence of immortal cultivators.

However, the cultivators of the Nascent Soul Stage and above on the island seem to be wearing this blood moon blue robe, which looks like a certain sect.

After entering the door, Yang Feng saw a slight light on his head. He looked up slightly and saw an octagonal formation pattern engraved on the bricks and stones above, and a circular bronze mirror was inlaid in the middle.

A light red hazy light was falling from the bronze mirror, covering everyone passing by.

Just a glance, Yang Feng roughly guessed the function of this formation. It should be used to detect cultivators who deliberately hide their identities and prevent them from sneaking into the city.

Judging from Yang Feng's current perspective, this formation is not very complicated and cannot be said to be very clever. Those who are cultivating immortals at the Mahayana stage can block it without being noticed after taking some effort.

However, if there is no special magic weapon to cover up the aura of immortals, it is unlikely that they will have to go through this journey. As long as you first climb this island, you will definitely be noticed.

Yang Feng and the others have a considerable cultivation level, and with the mysterious masks they wear on their faces, there is no need to worry about these things.

The three of them followed the crowded crowds and moved little by little towards the city. When they passed under the formation, the light in the bronze mirror flashed slightly, and then they returned to normal. They obviously regarded several people as ordinary mortals.

As they entered the city, the crowd began to diverge toward the two wings, and the scene in the city gradually spread before several people.

I saw that on the street opposite them, there were markets everywhere, merchants were everywhere, and the houses on both sides of the street were covered with flags and banners used by merchants to attract business.

However, because it was too early at this moment, many shops had not opened to welcome guests. There were not many people on the streets paved with bluestone except for the people who had just entered the city.

Only some morning tea shops have been swept clean and the doors are open to welcome diners.

This water city is much larger than any city I have seen before. The two streets heading southeast and northwest divide the entire city into four large urban areas.

After Yang Feng and the other two walked along the city street to the south area, they turned into a narrow path. After walking for about half an hour, they came to a remote alley.

The alley is very quiet, with the few courtyards with doors closed, without any sound or a single figure.

The three of them came to an ordinary mansion in the deepest part of the alley and stopped.

“It’s here.”

Jiao Jiu looked up and down at the dark red door of the mansion, nodded and said.

This mansion is a secret stronghold opened by members of the Impermanence Alliance who had previously sneaked into Tsuki Island. When they came here, they merged with them to obtain information.

Upon hearing this, Jiao Shiliu stepped forward a few steps, like an ordinary person knocking on the door. He raised his hand and tapped the ring in the mouth of the bronze beast on the door with a rhythm of two shorts and one long.

As a result, after a few dull sounds, there was no response in the yard.

Yang Feng's heart was slightly distorted. He wanted to use his spiritual sense to investigate, but when he remembered Jiao San's previous warning, he should not act rashly.

Of course, Jiao Shiliu and Jiao Jiu seemed to notice something was wrong, but they obviously had the same concerns as Yang Feng and had no idea of ​​using their spiritual sense.

The former turned around and looked at the two behind him with hesitation.

Yang Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.

Jiao Jiu pondered for a moment and made a gesture to prepare for the battle for the two.

Just as the three of them were preparing to take action, a shaking sound suddenly came from the door, shaking according to the agreed rhythm of three long and one short.

The three of them were slightly stunned and looked at the door following the sound.

After a moment of contemplation, Jiao Shiliu then slightly increased the strength in his hand and quickly slapped the door knocker three times.

After a moment, the dark red door creaked, opening a gap that was wide for a man inward, revealing the head of a middle-aged man.

"Come in"
Chapter completed!
