Ao Ruan, holding the map, drove the treasure ship all the way. Bai Yu drank the fountain of life and set up a barbecue on the bow of the ship. They stayed away like this for ten days.
Ten days later, they finally entered the territory of Zhongdao Prefecture. Zhongdao Prefecture is mostly plains, and the mountains are all big mountains, which is very different from the hills of Lingnan Prefecture.
At this time, Bai Yu's injuries have completely healed. The effect of the fountain of life is much better than that of the elixir, and his recovery power is amazing.
"We've already reached the border of Zhongdao Prefecture. Why are we going to Bawang Mountain?" Ao Ruan didn't ask any questions all the way to the food and drink.
"Go get something."
"Hey~ I thought it was some kind of treasure hunt!"
"You think about treasure hunting in everything. Have you found any treasures in the mountains and forests for so long?"
"I've searched everywhere in the mountains and forests, and I've eaten all the treasures I could find."
Bai Yu didn't know what to say. The dragon-shaped fruit was an example. He ate it casually.
At this time, Bai Yu saw a village on fire in the sky below. There was no one on fire in this wilderness.
"Go down and have a look."
The two people who put away the treasure ship fell straight into the village. As soon as they reached the ground, they saw a horrific scene. The entire village was massacred, and no one, old or young, was spared.
Seeing this, Bai Yu felt very angry, and even the children were not spared. The person who did this was completely unscrupulous.
Bai Yu raised his hand and blew out the burning house. This may be the only thing he can do, which is to preserve the bodies of these dead people.
"Have you found anything?" Bai Yu asked.
"There is a very strange smell. This is the first time I smell it."
"Can you tell which direction you went?"
"It's very subtle. There is only a trace of breath left. If it goes to the southeast, it shouldn't be traceable. If that person takes off, the wind will blow away the breath." Ao pointed to the southeast and said.
"Forget it, let's get the things first. Go to a nearby city to inform the guards about this matter, and let the civilian and military commanders come and take a look."
There is really no way to trace this matter, and besides, they generally don't interfere in matters involving civilians. They can only help a gang when they see injustice, which is fine.
In this way, Bai Yu and the two arrived at Fu City, two hundred miles away. The guards at the city gate were shocked when they heard about this incident, and then hurriedly reported it.
"You two, wait a moment. Our general will explain this matter to you and will delay your time." The defenders on the other side stopped the two Bai Yus who were about to leave.
Ao Hen was not happy when he heard this. What is there to know about this? Wouldn't you know it when you go to the scene of the crime?
"Forget it, just wait!"
Bai Yu is not in a hurry, so it doesn't matter if he waits.
After a while, a man wearing silver armor and a cloak hurried over with a group of people. He should be the general the guard said.
"That's them." The guard who reported the report pointed out the two Bai Yus.
"Both of you, I'd like to ask you to go to the military headquarters. This matter is of great importance. Our city chief wants to meet you two."
After the general finished speaking, he summoned his men to take away Bai Yu and the two men. Seeing that the situation was not going well, Ao Hen directly kicked the men away, causing the guards to draw their swords one after another.
"We have good intentions and come to report the crime but you want to take advantage of us. What's the point?" Ao Ruan said angrily.
This action also attracted people near the city gate to watch, and the discussion suddenly attracted a large group of people.
"Don't get me wrong, this matter is indeed very important. The Lord of the City has invited me." At this time, someone came out of the city and said.
That was a young man with a dignified appearance, who came to invite the two Bai Yus in front of him.
However, Bai Yu and Ao Hen remained indifferent, knowing that if they fell into the tiger's den and were blamed, they wouldn't even have any bones left.
"Since the important thing now is to go look at that place and look for clues, instead of making trouble against us, can we tell you the reason?" Bai Yu also said angrily.
The young man was also shocked. These two guys couldn't understand anything, but what they said still made sense.
"who is it?"
At this time, a terrifying aura fell from the sky. The man had a scowl on his face that made him very angry, and his voice even made everyone yell.
"Commander, the two of them were the first to discover it." The young man replied respectfully.
The commander took Bai Yu and the two of them into the sky and left. No need to think too much, it must be that village. A group of 20 guards led by the general followed behind.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the village. The scene was so horrific that even the city guards dared not look directly at it.
"When did you discover it and how long has it been?" the commander asked.
"Just a stick of incense ago, we happened to pass by and noticed a fire here, so we came down to take a look. When we arrived, we found that there was no one alive here."
Bai Yu also answered truthfully. Those who were being escorted would die if they resisted now. Ao Ruan was also sensible and honest.
There is no way, they are not the reason for their strong strength, not to mention that they are burning with anger. If you go up and sing the opposite, aren't you looking for death?
At this time, the guards also began to look for any clues, but found nothing.
"Where are you coming from? Did you see anyone suspicious on the way here?"
"We came from the south and didn't find any suspicious people. However, when we first came to the village to check the situation, we found an aura here. We have never seen this aura before."
"What kind of smell?"
"Can't tell."
The commander took out a gauntlet and handed it to Bai Yu and said, "Is it this kind of aura?"
Bai Yu did feel a breath after getting it, and Ao Han also felt the breath. It was the same as the previous one, and it was definitely the same breath.
"It's this kind of aura." Ao Yan said firmly.
After confirming, the commander withdrew the gauntlet. Looking at the corpses and the burned village, all the young and old were killed. He could only clenched his fists in anger.
"Beasts, don't let me catch you."
The general took his people to deal with the village's funeral affairs, and Bai Yu and the two were allowed to leave. However, they were also warned to be careful of people with this aura, and to kill them or escape if they saw the ability.
"Demon energy."
After leaving, Bai Yu said that he knew that the fight had begun behind the scenes, and many enemies had been infiltrated in the past thousands of years.
"Is this the enemy the old man mentioned?" Ao Xian recalled the old man in the desert.
"Yes, many enemies must have sneaked in over the past few thousand years. I don't know what they are trying to do to kill these mortals."
Bai Yu was also puzzled. According to the memory left by Luo Tianying, the demons didn't even bother to do anything to mortals. So why did these people who infiltrated kill mortals?
In this way, the two of them left the Fucheng area and rushed towards Bawang Mountain. Bai Yu suddenly felt that this matter was far from simple, and the things he went to get were also of great importance.
Three days later, Bai Yu and the two arrived at the core city of Zhongdao Prefecture, which is also the largest city in the central area. This is where all institutions are located.
Holy City!
"This city is really big." Ao Ren couldn't help but admire.
From a distance in the air, you can't even see the edge. This city is so huge. Bai Yu is filled with emotion. The city in his hometown is about the same size as this city. This is the hard work of many generations.
"There are two country bumpkins over there who have never seen the world!" Someone on a passing boat laughed sarcastically, treating Bai Yu and the two as country bumpkins.
There are many treasure ships coming and going outside the city, and there is an endless stream of comings and goings every day. When people in the city see outsiders and praise them, they think they are people who have never seen the world, and their faces are even brighter.
Ao Hen became angry when he heard this. He raised his hand and was about to fight, but Bai Yu stopped him. You must know that they are the ones who suffer in such a place.
"Don't let me see you again, or I'll beat you all over the place." Ao Huan said angrily to the ship that was going away.
"Let's go! After finishing our work, we will come back and visit this Holy City."
After admiring it for a while, Bai Yu left in a boat. He still had one day to go to Bawang Mountain to get the things Luo Tianying left behind. After all, he promised to shoulder the responsibilities during his lifetime. He didn't know if this responsibility was still there or not. Then he just thinks it's okay. Who knows if thousands of years have passed!
In this way, the two of them arrived at Mount Bawang. It was already the evening of the second day, and they had already disembarked in the city closest to Mount Bawang.
And they didn't take the usual route to avoid being seen. After all, this thing in Bai Yu's memory was very important, so it was best to take it away without leaving any trace.
