"Those are no ordinary dark clouds; they're the premonitions of the Dark Winds that are unique to the Jilin Space Realm. They occur every year, but I didn't expect them to occur so early this year.
These winds are not something that can be dealt with by humans. My companions and I have an underground stronghold nearby, so we should take shelter there, "Chen Yang said in an urgent manner.
"Dark Winds!" Shi Chuankong's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, have you heard of this Dark Wind?" Han Li transmitted his voice to Shi Chuankong.
"I've read about this Dark Wind in an ancient book in my third brother's library, but it wasn't very detailed and only said that it was an extremely powerful wind disaster.
From the looks of it, this Chen Yang is indeed not to be underestimated, "Shi Chuankong replied.
"If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Chen," Han Li said.
"There's no need to be so polite. We've all been exiled here by the Night Sun Dynasty, so it's only right for us to help one another. Please come with me." Chen Yang was in a hurry to leave, and he immediately strode forward.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, please undo the restrictions on my puppet first," Han Li suddenly said as he handed Daoist Xie over to Chen Yang.
"Oh, I almost forgot about that." Chen Yang slapped his own forehead before pulling out a golden needle from Daoist Xie's elbow joint.
The golden needle was several inches long and as thin as a strand of hair, and one could see a series of extremely tiny veined patterns on its surface, creating a rather mystical sight to behold.
A hint of curiosity appeared in Han Li's eyes as he looked at the golden needle.
"This is a Dragon Beard Needle that was developed by a powerful being in Xuan City to deal with all types of puppets."
Chen Yang explained as he continued to pull out a series of golden needles from Daoist Xie's joints.
"I see." Han Li nodded.
After Chen Yang pulled out the ninth golden needle from Daoist Xie's body, Daoist Xie stretched his body before immediately rising to his feet.
A hint of surprise appeared on Chen Yang's face upon seeing this.
"What is it, Fellow Daoist Chen?" Han Li asked.
"The puppets that have been imprisoned by the Dragon Beard Needles, after the golden needles are pulled out, generally need to undergo a period of adjustment before they can slowly recover.
Fellow Daoist Li, your puppet is quite extraordinary to be able to stand up as soon as the Dragon Beard Needle is removed, "Chen Yang said as he inspected Daoist Xie.
"Maybe it's because he hasn't been sealed for a long time," Han Li said vaguely.
"Then let's go."
Chen Yang didn't continue on this topic. He put away the golden needles and quickly walked back in the direction he came from.
Han Li and the other two followed behind him.
About two hours later, the group of four arrived at a valley.
The terrain of this valley was low-lying, and it was surrounded by mountains on three sides. It was extremely hidden and difficult to find.
At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky were abnormally dense. One could vaguely see streaks of black lightning bouncing and jumping in the depths of the dark clouds.
At this moment, gusts of wind had already begun to appear in the air, whistling and rolling towards them, emitting a strange "wu wu wu" sound.
Even though the wind was quite strong, it was nothing to Han Li and the others. However, the howling gales brought with them a bone-chilling chill that pierced straight into their hearts.
After advancing against the wind for a long time, everyone's expressions were quite grim.
Thankfully, they had already arrived at their destination. Chen Yang brought Han Li and the others to a mountain wall in the deepest part of the valley, upon which was a huge grey rock.
Chen Yang pushed the rock aside to reveal a cave. It was dark and bottomless, extending all the way into the ground.
"Big Brother Chen, you're finally back. Who are they?"
A red-haired man in bone armor sprang out from the cave. He was initially overjoyed, but he then looked at Han Li and the others with caution.
"These two are Fellow Li and Fellow Shi. They were just exiled to this place. Now that the Nightmare Wind is here, I brought them here to take shelter." Chen Yang said.
"So that's how it is. Fellow Daoists, it's a pleasure to meet you. Quickly come in and take shelter. The current Nightmare Wind is only the tip of the iceberg. The real Nightmare Wind is more than ten times more terrifying." The red-haired man nodded to Han Li and the others with a smile and stepped aside.
"Ten times!" Han Li was secretly shocked.
The current Nightmare Wind was already making him feel quite uncomfortable. If its power increased by ten times, he was afraid that in a situation where he couldn't use his cultivation, even if he didn't die, he would lose half of his life.
With this thought in mind, he followed Chen Yang into the cave.
As soon as they entered the cave, the wind immediately disappeared. However, the chill in the air was still there. It was just that with the mountain wall, it was much weaker than outside.
"Fang Shan, seal the entrance. You don't need to guard here. Go down with us. If the chill of the Nightmare Wind invades your body, it will be difficult to expel it." Chen Yang said to the red-haired man.
"Yes." A trace of gratitude flashed through the red-haired man's eyes. He agreed and began to seal the entrance of the cave.
Seeing this scene, Han Li's heart slightly moved.
Chen Yang didn't stay here for long. He led Han Li and the others into the depths of the cave.
The cave extended downwards in a zigzag manner. It seemed to be naturally formed and then artificially repaired. The three quickly walked down for several hundred feet, but there was no sign of an end in front of them.
However, the chill in the air had greatly decreased when they reached this point. This made everyone feel relieved.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, thank you for inviting us here." Han Li and Shi Chuankong cupped their hands and thanked Chen Yang.
If it wasn't for Chen Yang's invitation, he and Shi Chuankong would have been in danger.
"I have already said that we are exiled prisoners. We should help each other. Fellow Daoist Li doesn't need to be so polite." Chen Yang casually waved his hand and said with a smile.
When Han Li heard this, he smiled and said nothing further.
The four of them walked down for another fifteen minutes and finally reached the end of the cave. At the bottom was a rather large cave that was more than a hundred feet in size.
The ground was quite flat. In the center of the cave was a wide, oval stone table. Beside it were seven or eight stone stools.
On the four walls of the cave, simple and crude stone rooms were cut out.
At this moment, there was no one in the cave. The door of the stone rooms was tightly shut. It seemed that everyone had gone inside.
"Fellow Daoist Li, Fellow Daoist Shi, this wind usually lasts for about a month. You two should take a good rest here and think about joining Mysterious City." Chen Yang said.
"Okay." Han Li and Shi Chuankong nodded.
At this moment, the stone rooms were basically all occupied. The two didn't go in and found a place outside the cave to sit down.
Chen Yang glanced at the two of them. He didn't enter the stone room. Instead, he found another place to sit down.
Although there was a thick layer of ground between them, the three of them could still feel the howling wind outside. The ground was also shaking slightly, and the rocks beneath them were also shaking.
The roof of the cave was also shaking, and gravel was desperately falling down.
"Rumbling" sounds of impact could be heard. It seemed that the whole continent could not bear the power of the raging wind and began to tremble.
When Han Li heard the commotion outside, he was inwardly apprehensive.
In the past few months, he and Shi Chuankong had been walking in the Jilin Void Realm. Although they had encountered a few scaled beasts' attacks, they were all smoothly dealt with. Regarding the dangers of the Jilin Void Realm, he was quite unconcerned. Now that he heard the movements outside, he was convinced.
"Fellow Daoist Li, are we going to join Mysterious City just like this?" Shi Chuankong leaned over and asked.
"What do you think?" Han Li pondered for a moment and asked back.
"The dangers of the Jilin Void Realm seem to be far beyond our expectations. Instead of searching aimlessly, joining Mysterious City is a good choice.
But from what I heard from Chen Yang, the Black City and the Puppet City are mortal enemies. If we join the Black City, if we can't find a Purple Spirit in there, it will be difficult to go to the Puppet City to find one. "Shi Chuankong said.
"Even so, we are currently in the Jilin Void Realm. We can only choose between Mysterious City and Puppet City. Based on the current situation, choosing Mysterious City seems to be more advantageous for us." Han Li replied.
"That's true. Since Fellow Daoist Li has made a decision, I won't say anything else.
Speaking of which, I am also very curious about Mysterious City. I would like to see it for myself. "Shi Chuankong smiled.
"Oh?" Han Li's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise.
"Just now, I heard from Chen Yang that Mysterious City's City Lord, Lord Eche, has opened more than a thousand Xuan acupoints. Mysterious City must have many Xuan acupoint cultivation techniques.
These techniques are priceless treasures. I'm afraid even the Night Sun Dynasty's Imperial Treasury doesn't have so many Xuan acupoint cultivation techniques. If we can obtain them, not only can we increase our strength, but it will also be of great help to Third Brother in his fight for the throne. "Shi Chuankong's eyes lit up.
Hearing this, Han Li revealed a trace of a smile.
Although he didn't say it, he chose to join Mysterious City for the sake of these Xuan Body Cultivation techniques.
Chen Yang's indestructible arm made Han Li envious. At the same time, he also witnessed the true power of Xuan Body Cultivation.
He had always been quite talented in Xuan Body Cultivation, but he didn't have a suitable Xuan Body Cultivation technique, so he couldn't continue to improve it.
Shi Chuankong and Han Li discussed the pros and cons of joining Mysterious City for a while. Soon, they came to an agreement.
After the discussion, Han Li stood up and walked towards Chen Yang.
"Fellow Daoist Li." Chen Yang had been secretly paying attention to Han Li's movements. Seeing them walk over, he stood up and greeted them.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I have discussed with Fellow Shi and decided to join Mysterious City. However, before we join, there are a few things I want to ask," Han Li said solemnly.
"Please ask, Fellow Daoist Li." Chen Yang was overjoyed and immediately said.
"I want to know if there is a price to pay to join Mysterious City, or if there are any contract rules to follow?" Han Li asked.
"So that's what Fellow Daoist is worried about. Don't worry, Lord Eke created Mysterious City to protect his companions. There is no price to pay to join Mysterious City.
There is only one rule, and that is, once you enter Mysterious City, you are not allowed to betray it, "Chen Yang said solemnly.
"I see, I understand." Han Li relaxed and nodded solemnly.
"Apart from this, I have another thing to ask Fellow Daoist Chen." He then said.
"Please ask." Chen Yang was startled and nodded again.
"I have a companion called Violet Spirit. She is a female cultivator. About ten years ago, she was also thrown into the Scale Spatial Realm. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chen has heard of her?" Han Li looked into Chen Yang's eyes and asked.
"Violet Spirit?
I have never heard of her. "Hearing this, Chen Yang thought for a while and shook his head.
Han Li's heart sank when he heard this.
"Fellow Daoist Li, don't be discouraged. Our Mysterious City doesn't only have one city. Apart from the main city, there are several smaller cities. I am from one of the smaller cities, Qingyang City.
Communication arrays cannot be used in the Scale Spatial Realm. Communication between cities is not fast. Your friend might have gone to another city. "Chen Yang scratched his head and comforted him.
