Late summer.
The sun is still burning like fire in the sky.
Under the shade of the trees beside the road, three people, old and young, were enjoying the cool air.
Among them, the old man was in his fifties or sixties. He was dressed simply, like an old man in the mountains, but he seemed to be in poor condition. He was holding a branch as a crutch. Another couple, a man and a woman, also changed into ordinary clothes, just like a brother and a sister, but one has a clear face, and the other always has a wild and seductive look in his eyebrows.
It is Guya, Duocai and Yuye.
After leaving Qiling Valley, Yu Duocai and Yu Ye took Bone Ya to find another teleportation array. Then we were delayed for two days on the way, and finally arrived here successfully.
The map showed that Muying City was dozens of miles away, but Bone Ya made the two of them stop. Although he and Demon General Qi Huai were old friends, they had not seen each other for many years. What's more, the three of them came from Black Wind City and were refugees in trouble. Now that the situation of all parties was unknown, it was inconvenient to act rashly.
So the three of them disguised themselves and chose to walk to Muying City.
Yu Ye sat cross-legged in the grass, holding a grass stem in his mouth, silently looking at his two companions not far away.
Bone Ya sat on a stone nearby, perhaps unable to bear the heat, waving his hands to fan the cool breeze and wiping the sweat from his forehead from time to time. According to him, his damaged heart has not yet healed, resulting in a loss of cultivation. But on the way, it was discovered that his consciousness had not completely disappeared. Could it be that his cultivation level was still there, or that his level had plummeted?
Recalling that he killed Bi Ba, Zha Hong, and Shang Lang successively, which time did he not deceive others and then strike first?
However, since he had not accepted his reward before, he would not make an oath for a single exercise in the wild, and he did not like to be coerced or manipulated by others. But instead of being disappointed, Bone Ya seemed much more relaxed. Perhaps it was another way of testing him, but in short, the shrewdness and cunning of the master demon cultivator were comparable to those of Tian Juezi and others in Yanzhou.
And having said that, who among immortal cultivators is not obsessed with superb skills!
The Heavenly Demon Technique may be similar to the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Technique. It is the supreme skill of demon cultivators, but it comes from the immortal realm? As the saying goes, all dharma returns to its origin, do all monsters and ghosts originate from the fairyland?
"Ahem——"
Feeling out of breath, Bone Ya coughed twice.
"Brother, can my sister ask for two more bottles of nourishing elixirs?"
Duocai looked back.
In order to hide his identity, he became a brother, and she was naturally a sister.
Yu Ye found a few bottles of healing, nourishing, and fasting elixirs and handed them over.
Bone Ya looked at the elixir and said with emotion: "I think I once owned a city, but ended up in this situation, and let you, an outsider, help me many times. I owe you another favor!"
"Senior, you are serious!"
"Since you come from the Immortal Realm, you must have difficulties. I can't ask more questions, and I don't dare to ask for anything extravagantly. After I and Duocai settle down, you can leave or stay, it's up to you!"
"Um!"
Although Gu Ya is scheming and unsmiling, he is not a mean person.
"you are leaving?"
Duocai sat next to Yu Ye and said, "It has only been a few days since you recovered your cultivation. Where can you go now? Don't forget that you and I escaped from Black Wind City together. If anything happens to you, the city lord will be implicated." Why not stay in Muying City, cultivate to the state of becoming a god one day, and then return to the Immortal Realm to seek revenge against your enemies? My sister promised to accompany you to the Immortal Realm, so it’s settled, haha!" Kanshu La!
Although she had changed her attire, her appearance remained the same, especially her laughter, which still had a wild charm.
Yu Ye curled his lips, noncommittal.
Although Guya and Duocai believed that he came from the Immortal Realm, he did not know where the Immortal Realm was located.
At this moment, the wheels were rolling, the iron hoofs were clattering, and two large carts were approaching on the road.
Duocai stood up and waved, saying, "My old man is very weak. Can the two eldest brothers give me a ride?"
The cart stopped.
Two strong men jumped out of the car, with long knives in their waists and whips in their hands. They looked at Duocai up and down, then looked at the old Bone Ya and the young Yu Ye, looking at each other with amusement——
"Ha ha!"
"There are always gangsters here, so don't be careless!"
"Hmm, it's not difficult to carry it, but you have to search yourself to avoid hiding a sharp knife..."
"This woman is quite charming..."
When the two men driving the carriage saw that Gu Ya was old and frail, and Yu Ye was hiding aside silently, they suddenly felt evil thoughts and felt confident.
Duocai's face darkened and she suddenly waved her hands.
"Bang, bang——"
There were two soft sounds, followed by two masses of blood mist exploding. Even the long knives and whips were all broken and fell to the ground, while the two sturdy men had disappeared without a trace.
"snort!"
Duocai clapped her hands, turned around and helped Gu Ya, flicked her chin, raised her eyes, and said, "Brother, do you know how to drive? Let's go -"
Yu Ye stood up in shock.
Duocai's killing methods are in line with Gu Ya's, cruel, ruthless, and crisp.
Yu Ye crossed the blood stains on the ground and jumped onto the cart in front. Pulling the cart were two red deer, probably disturbed by the blood, kicking their hooves and making them restless. Duocai was already sitting on a pile of animal skins in the carriage with Gu Ya. He reached out and grabbed the reins and shook it gently, and the cart suddenly jumped forward...
In the afternoon.
A stone city appeared in the wilderness ahead.
Different from Heifeng City, which is built on the mountain, and different from the square Yanzhou City, the city wall of Stone City is made of huge stones, which is eight or nine feet high, with a circular circumference of more than ten miles, and There is only one gate due south. It looks like a solid fortress from a distance, but it is actually Muying City, one of the thirty-six cities in the Demon Realm.
Before reaching the city gate, the three of them abandoned the car and drove away.
There was a demon guard guarding the city at the city gate for interrogation. Yu Ye took out a money bag and handed it over, pretending that his family was in the city to buy medicine, and was allowed to go.
After entering the city, he found an inn and settled down at Gu Ya first. As Ye accompanied him to take care of him, Duocai gave him a few words of advice before going to see Qi Huai. Yu Ye had nothing to do, so he sat under the arbor in front of the inn and waited for news.
The inn is located in the south of the city and has more than 20 guest rooms. All the guests staying here are ordinary traders, and the coming and going is a bit chaotic. The name of the inn is also unique, Wuling Inn.
The courtyard gate of the inn is a T-shaped street intersection. The streets and streetscape are similar to those of Black Wind City. Monsters and monsters swagger past from time to time, and the city is full of spiritual consciousness.
Yu Ye looked at the street scene and paid attention to the movements in the guest rooms.
Although Gu Ya claimed that he had no cultivation, he did not dare to take it lightly. Until now, the master had always killed when he was at his weakest. It wouldn't be a surprise if he had another surprise another day.
Muying City covers an area of more than ten miles. In addition to the market, there are forests, stone mountains, courtyards and tall pavilions. It would be nice to settle down here. I wonder if there is good wine in the city...
While Yu Ye was still looking around, someone suddenly shouted in the distance.
After a while, the city gate closed, and the sky was full of clouds and mist, and the light shone. In the blink of an eye, the entire Muying City was enveloped in the formation.
Yu Ye was slightly stunned.
Why open the city defense formation for no reason?
Could it be that the abandoned cart outside the city was discovered, or...
Yu Ye was secretly startled, stood up and was about to rush into the courtyard, but he ducked and quietly hid aside along the courtyard wall.
At this moment, two figures descended from the sky, followed closely by groups of figures wielding swords, swarming into the courtyard. Immediately afterwards, an old man was carried out. It turned out to be Bone Ya. He looked quite angry, but his hands and feet were restrained and unable to move.
A middle-aged man walked out of the yard, looked around with a murderous look on his face, and shouted in a deep voice: "The thief still has accomplices, search the city immediately——"
As he raised his hand and waved, the crowd divided into two groups, one half carried Bone Tooth and flew into the air, the other half gathered people and rushed to every corner of the city...
In the bushes a hundred feet away, Yu Ye was still dumbfounded.
The sudden situation caught him off guard, and Bone Ya's capture made him even more unbelievable.
We have come thousands of miles away just to visit relatives and friends. Duocai went to visit Qi Huai but failed to return, but Gu Ya was captured alive.
Did Duocai betray Gu Ya, or did Qi Huai become ruthless?
Although Duocai has a rough temperament, she is loyal to Gu Ya. It must be Qi Huai who betrayed his trust and added insult to injury. If so, he stayed at the inn in the wild and allowed Gu Ya to be captured. How could he be worthy of Duocai's trust and Gu Ya's trust?
Qi Huai's subordinates are searching the city, obviously trying to find his accomplice...
The bushes are located beside the road, making it difficult to hide.
Yu Ye dodged towards the ground, but was no more than ten feet away, and was blocked by the restrictions, so he turned to go upwards.
We were in a yard, and there was an old man chopping firewood under a tree. The courtyard door suddenly opened with a bang, and two strong men with knives rushed in. They ran rampant in the courtyard, then jumped into the house to check, turned around and walked out of the courtyard, cursing.
Yu Ye quietly sneaked out from behind the old man and followed him out of the courtyard. Seeing that there was no one around in the alley, he flicked out a sword energy with his finger, then raised his hand to grab it, and the two strong men disappeared out of thin air. He returned to the courtyard through the wall again and hid in a stone house.
The stone house is only two feet in size, with beds and clothes in a mess.
Yu Ye cast a restraint to seal the surrounding area, and gently waved his spirit ring. With a "plop", two strong men fell to the ground, but one's brains exploded and turned into a dead body, while the other stared in horror.
"What happened in the city?"
When Yu Ye asked, his body appeared.
"Search the city..."
The surviving strong man was so frightened that he trembled all over and said, "I have been ordered to search the city to find the person who stayed at the inn today..."
"Is Duocai okay?"
"I don't know..."
"Where does Qi Huai live?"
"Ah...you are..."
"Reply quickly!"
"Forgive me..."
The strong man's legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground, howling loudly at the top of his lungs.
Yu Ye was eager to find out the situation, but was afraid of disturbing the old man outside the house. He grabbed the strong man's head and said bitterly: "Damn thing..."
Since you don't understand, you can only kill people and silence them.
Suddenly I heard Qingluo's words coming from the sea of consciousness——
"Why not search for souls?"
"Searching for souls?"
"Oh, the "Netherworld Treasure Mirror" and "God Refining Art" that you studied both have soul-searching techniques, but you have never tried it. People are searching the city at all costs, so you have to search for souls to find out the reason, so that you can fight tit for tat. .Brother, don’t let down your sister’s trust..."
