The two followed the mission route all the way to the edge of the Northern Territory. After crossing a long river dividing line that was hundreds of meters wide, a scene of grassland, water and soil, plains and forests appeared.

It's so flat that you can't see the edge.

"There are relatively few people living in the Northern Territory, and even fewer monks from the sects in the Northern Territory." Ning Yue looked at the familiar scene and felt melancholy for a moment, and explained to Yu Mian, "...The monks who come here are all here to guard the gate and the tower."

One side of the Demonic Corpse Sea borders the Northern Territory. There is an isolation zone that is thousands of kilometers long and there is no human habitation at all.

What they see now is not the isolation zone. If they look around, they can still see some human settlements, mostly in the form of ethnic minority tribes, living separately along the river.

Another thousand miles to the north is an uninhabited land, where the green grasslands will fade away little by little until they turn into wasteland, sand and rocks, and finally a frozen fortress.

In the main urban area of ​​the fortress, there lives a fairly dense group of monks. Some come here to hunt, some come here to do business, some come here to pursue opportunities, and some come here to guard the fortress for the people of the world.

Finally, he transformed his body into a magic-sealing brick and built it on the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

Imprisoned in the Demon-Suppressing Tower are the demon souls that have been captured and sealed over the years. They are extremely difficult to kill, and that is why they are imprisoned there.

Yu Mian couldn’t see the place as far away as Ning Yue described, but the desolate cold air had already crossed the plain, sweeping over with the smell of blood. She could smell the scene there.

"Junior Sister Ning, did you die in the Northern Territory in your previous life?" Yu Mian suddenly asked.

Ning Yue shook her head: "No, I died guarding the East Region. The Delusion Immortal Sect is located in the East Region, so it looks peaceful, but in fact, the East Region is the main gateway."

Yu Mian nodded. So that’s how it is.

In the history of the world of immortal cultivation, in order to confuse some evil cultivators, the actual entrance to the magic sect is often not marked, but a lot of false information is released instead.

And every time after surviving a disaster, the evil cultivators in Jiuzhou would be cleared out, and naturally the number of people who knew the truth would decrease.

This can prevent some chaotic and mindless evil cultivators from opening formations that should not be opened...

Therefore, the textbooks that Yu Mian studied did not specify the exact location. This was the first time he knew that the East Region was actually facing the Demonic Disaster...

"Senior Sister Yu, we are still only Jindan. The people guarding the Northern Territory's pass are at least Yuanying or above. Let's wait for a chance to go there in the future." Ning Yue patted Yu Mian's shoulder from a distance to wake her up. It was not the time to contact those distant people yet.

Although there are countless cultivators in Jiuzhou, there are relatively few strong ones because at least 30% of the strong ones are outside the pass and will only appear when encountering emergencies.

For example, Elder Qianguan, who was summoned by Shengqing to deal with the White Crow Demon General incident last time, got his Taoist name from Zhenguan and followed the path of pure blood killing.

"Well, there will be a chance in the future." Yu Mian nodded.

The reason they came here was for the last B-level mission, the extermination of the Qinghe tribe.

A disciple who passed through the Northern Territory saw corpses everywhere while flying in an outer flying device. The entire Qinghe clan was wiped out.

There are more than 170 ethnic groups along the rivers in the Northern Territory, with an average population of less than 5,000. Occasionally, a few large ethnic groups have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.

The Qinghe tribe is one of the smaller tribes, with only about a thousand people.

Logically speaking, if ethnic groups kill each other, they will not waste the ready-made human resources, but will recruit them as slaves to work for them.

Besides, there is no reason for a group of more than a thousand people to take action...

The two followed the given coordinates and smelled a strong odor of decay less than a kilometer away. The smell of decaying human beings was the most obvious to humans.

Because it will stimulate the genes' alertness to danger, and subconsciously react to the unsafe surroundings.

They went straight towards that place, but when they got closer they saw a small group of people digging at something.

When I got closer, I saw a person wearing animal skin clothes, with long hair and beard, and a tooth necklace around his neck dragging the corpse.

Large pits were dug on the ground to bury the bodies.

Are these people from other ethnic groups coming here to bury the bodies?

If it is an internal struggle among the human race, then it is not considered a mission and can be directly abolished and reported back to the sect.

Two men appeared in robes, and those who were originally stripping off the useful furs and clothes from the corpses and removing the jewelry, gems and dentures stopped what they were doing.

He looked at the two of them with an aggressive look.

There were at least six to seven hundred people around.

Yu Mian saw the intention in their eyes and was afraid that he would come to grab this piece of the pie, but at least they let this tribe member rest in peace, which could be regarded as a kind of repayment and retribution.

But the matter has not been fully investigated yet, and the body needs to be carefully examined.

"Hello, we are both Taoists from the Immortal Sect. We are here to investigate the genocide of the Qinghe tribe." Yu Mian took a step forward, emitting the brilliant light created by the pure glazed lotus, looking gorgeous and fairy-like.

The eyes of those people suddenly became clear, and they began to put down the fur clothes they had snatched, wanting to run away.

"I... We have no intention of desecrating the bodies. We just want to help them return to the earth..."

"These are the due rewards, the rules of the riverbank."

"Moreover, if you are not buried after death, a plague god will be born, which will bring disaster. You have to sacrifice your life to appease the wrath of the plague god!"

……

Their language habits and religion seem to be somewhat separated from those of the Central Plains. They are more inclined to believe in natural gods and live in the most traditional way.

Ning Yue said: "We are not here to judge, we just want to find out the situation." Her kind tone calmed their emotions.

Some of the people who were wearing more exquisite and thick leather coats came up and bowed to Yu Mian and Ning Yue.

In their culture, only the great mother river god and the sky are worthy of worship, so they cannot kneel down to others casually.

"My powerful guests, are you from the sky? We occasionally see flying celestial beings." He pointed to the sky.

Yu Mian understood that he was talking about the cultivators who flew with flying tools, and nodded in response: "Yes, but they didn't come from the sky. We are just mortals who practiced."

The leader probably didn't understand the meaning of cultivation, he just put his hands together and bowed, "Sir, blessed by the gods, we are from the White Wolf Tribe, the tribe leader sent us to deal with the bodies of the Qinghe Tribe, you can check first, and then let us know when everything is correct."

"it is good."

The two sides had a brief negotiation, and the hundreds of people stopped what they were doing, formed a circle, and curiously watched what the two fair and tender people were doing.

This is the first time I have come into such close contact with such a fair and tender person. She looks like a jade sculpture.
