Yuyue Kingdom, Beifeng City.
This is a city located in the northernmost part of Yuyue Kingdom, surrounded by mountains and water.
It is 3,400 miles away from the Nebula Empire Imperial City and 4,800 miles away from Yunhai Town.
After flying for about two hours, Si Qin and Bai Jinghan appeared outside Beifeng City.
"This place is not far from the imperial capital of Yuyue Kingdom. Let's rest here for the night." Si Qin suggested.
"Okay." Bai Jinghan nodded lightly, "Mr. Si Qin, thank you for accompanying me back."
"Princess Jinghan, there is no need to thank me. If you want to thank me, go and thank His Highness. You insist on leaving, and he has no choice but to ask me to accompany you." Si Qin said with a smile.
"I know." Bai Jinghan pursed her lips, "I will definitely thank him in person next time I see him."
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to the city first."
"Yeah." Bai Jinghan nodded and said nothing more.
Soon, the two of them walked into the city. It was in the evening, which should have been the busiest time, but the streets were obviously sparsely populated. The few pedestrians who occasionally passed by were wearing coarse clothes and had dull faces. Not only that, The whole city seemed to be shrouded in a heavy evil aura.
"Was this place like this before?" Si Qin couldn't help asking when he saw this.
"I haven't been here for a few years. In my impression, Beifeng City has always been a very prosperous city. How come it has become like this now..." Bai Jinghan said with a frown.
"I think something must have happened here?" Si Qin guessed as he walked.
Hearing this, Bai Jinghan paused, and a strong sense of uneasiness arose spontaneously. She hurriedly raised her head and looked around, the ominous feeling in her heart getting stronger: "Could it be that here..."
"Princess Jinghan, why are you still dazed? Follow me quickly." Suddenly, Si Qin's voice rang in his ears. Bai Jinghan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly chased after her.
The two of them continued walking towards the center of the city. During this period, Bai Jinghan couldn't help but take another look at the handsome young man next to him.
Although his appearance is not as outstanding as Nangong Yueze's, he is still handsome.
"Master Si Qin." Bai Jinghan hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but said, "I always feel that you don't look like an ordinary person, and neither does your highness."
"Haha, why did the princess suddenly say that?" Si Qin stopped, turned to look at Bai Jinghan, and asked with interest.
Bai Jinghan took a sip and said in a low voice: "It's nearly five thousand miles from Yin Yue Pavilion to here. Even if my father was still here, with his cultivation, he wouldn't be able to fly here in two hours. In addition, Not to mention your Highness, although his cultivation is not as good as yours, his eyes make me feel every time that he has the ability to understand everything in the world..."
Hearing this, Si Qin curled his lips slightly and said, "How can my cultivation be compared with that of my Highness? In my heart, he is the most powerful being in the world."
Bai Jinghan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said no more words.
The two of them walked along the main street. Soon, Si Qin discovered that the closer they got to the central area of Beifeng City, the fewer people they saw. Even the restaurants and inns on both sides of the street were half empty. Keep the door closed.
"It seems that this place has indeed been attacked, otherwise it would not be so depressed." Si Qin said as if talking to himself.
After walking for a long time, the two finally saw an open teahouse. As they were about to go in, a middle-aged man suddenly rushed out and stopped them, "Wait, you guys, where are you from?"
Si Qin was stunned for a moment, then looked at the middle-aged man and said, "We are coming from out of town. We have been traveling for a long time and want to take a rest at the teahouse."
"Why are you resting? Come on, my teahouse will be closed soon." The middle-aged man waved his hand and said anxiously.
Hearing this, Si Qin frowned and said, "What do you mean? It's so good, why do you have to close the door?"
"There's no reason why you shouldn't come to a place like this." The middle-aged man sighed.
"You mean, there's something wrong with your teahouse?" Si Qin keenly caught something.
"It's not my tea house that has a problem, it's this city!! Many people go missing here every day. Those missing people can't even find their bodies in the end... You two, while it's still dark, you guys Let’s go quickly!!” the middle-aged man urged anxiously.
"What are you talking about?! People are missing here every day?" Si Qin was even more stunned when he heard this, "Please tell me clearly, what happened to this city?"
Bai Jinghan also stared nervously at the middle-aged man in front of her, "Yes, uncle, just tell us."
Seeing the reluctance of the two people, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and told everything, "People disappear here for no apparent reason every day. Sometimes they are already dead bodies when they are found, and sometimes they can't even be found. The people who live here are scared and are leaving one after another. No, I’m planning to move out in the next two days.”
"What, such a thing could happen?" Si Qin asked in surprise.
"Oh, that's why I said you shouldn't come. Listen to my advice and leave quickly. It will be too late if you don't leave." After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man turned around and ran back to the shop, closing the door with a bang. .
"Master Si Qin, what should we do now?" Bai Jinghan turned to look at Si Qin and asked.
"I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Anyway, it's not far from the imperial capital. Why don't we stay here for one night and leave tomorrow morning?" Si Qin calmed down and said, "It just so happens that I want to see it too. Look, who is causing trouble!"
"Yeah." Bai Jinghan nodded, "Then let's go to the front and see if we can find a place to rest."
"Um."
The two quickly continued walking forward along the main street.
After walking for about a cup of tea, the two of them saw an inn that was still open.
"I'm going to ask the innkeeper if there is any room available for us." After Si Qin finished speaking, he walked towards the inn.
Pushing the door open, Si Qin unexpectedly found that there was no one inside. The entire inn was empty, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
Si Qin frowned, turned to look at Bai Jinghan behind him, and shouted: "No one lives here anymore, Princess Jinghan, how about we just stay here for one night today?"
Bai Jinghan glanced around, then nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Si Qin said "Hmm", then took out some dry food from the space storage ring and handed it to her, "You should rest your stomach first, I will go to the second floor to take a look."
After taking the dry food, Bai Jinghan thanked her and started eating.
Not long after, Si Qin arrived on the second floor.
Standing at the railing on the second floor, he poked his head into the lobby on the first floor.
Originally, he wanted to check the situation of the entire inn, but unexpectedly found that there were several talismans posted on the door frame of the inn.
Seeing this scene, Si Qin couldn't help but frown.
Without exception, those talismans were all glowing with mysterious light, and two of them contained strange murderous intent!
Although Si Qin was already a middle-level god, these spells still gave him a hint of danger.
Who uses these spells?
What is their purpose?
"Master Si Qin, have you found anything?" Seeing Si Qin frowning, Bai Jinghan couldn't help but ask.
Si Qin nodded and said in a deep voice: "This city is indeed not peaceful, so we'd better be careful."
…
On the other side, the capital of the Nebula Empire.
Li Yangming spent a whole day rushing back to the Imperial City from the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain.
Less than half a day after leaving Guigu Immortal Palace, Nangong Jing had already woken up, but he didn't say a word the whole time.
That night at Ten Thousand Demons Mountain always felt like a dream to him.
He didn't know why he agreed to marry Zi Yuan as his wife, let alone why he had such a strong obsession with Zi Yuan.
All he knew was that every time he saw her, he would forget everything.
Moreover, every time he wanted to reject her, that stunning and beautiful face would appear in his mind.
He couldn't tell the difference and couldn't make sense...
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped outside Zhaoyang Palace.
"Your Highness, we are here." Li Yangming reminded him.
Nangong Jing opened the curtain and realized that it was already dark outside.
He raised his hand to rub his sore forehead, stood up and got out of the carriage.
"His Highness is back! His Highness is back!" Gan Tai shouted excitedly after seeing his master return and looking for him all day and night.
"Gantai, this king wants to take a bath, go and get ready." Nangong Jing ordered softly.
"Yes, Your Highness, my subordinates will go immediately!" Gan Tai responded hurriedly.
Nangong Jing said nothing and walked straight into Zhaoyang Palace.
…
Yin Yue Pavilion.
It was late at night, and Nangong Yueze was still sitting by the pond playing the piano.
Si Qin had been away for most of the day, but there had been no news back, which made Nangong Yueze feel vaguely uneasy.
at this time.
A slight sound of footsteps suddenly came.
Nangong Yueze tightened her fingertips and stopped playing.
"Your Highness, Lightning Thunder Eagle has sent a letter from Si Qin." The person coming is Su Ho.
"Show me quickly!" Nangong Yueze stood up quickly and said.
"Yes." Su Ho respectfully presented the letter to him.
After unfolding the letter and browsing it carefully, Nangong Yueze's brows instantly furrowed.
"Your Highness:
My subordinate is now in Beifeng City in Yuyue Kingdom. The situation in Beifeng City is indeed not good. People disappear for no reason every day. In addition, my subordinates also found demon talismans in many places. I suspect that there are People from the demon world are causing trouble here, but please rest assured, Your Highness, my subordinates will find a way to find out as soon as possible. "
"Your Highness, what is written in this letter?" Seeing the heavy look of worry in Nangong Yueze's eyes, Su Ho asked hurriedly.
Nangong Yueze closed the letter, his eyes dark and deep, "Si Qin is currently in Beifeng City in Yuyue Kingdom. Judging from what he means, Beifeng City is likely to be controlled by people from the demon world."
"What? People from the demon world?" Hearing this, Su Ho's eyes suddenly widened.
Nangong Yueze nodded, "Si Qin's cultivation is limited, and I'm worried that he won't be able to handle it alone."
"With his level of cultivation, ordinary magic soldiers will definitely be fine, but I'm afraid..." Su Ho hesitated.
Nangong Yueze didn't speak, and kept looking at the palm of his hand. This mortal body had no divine power, so it would be difficult to summon the divine weapon Hiding the Moon Sword. Otherwise, with the power of the Hiding Moon Sword, he wouldn't have to worry about anything.
"Su He, write back to Si Qin and ask him to protect you and never be too aggressive." Nangong Yueze pondered for a moment and then said.
"Yes." Su Ho took the order and retreated.
