In the center of the desolate and dilapidated town, Lin Qingyang and Qi Mo stood on the old Teleportation Array. The stone plate under their feet was full of cracks and the surroundings were covered with green moss. It was obviously in disrepair.
Qi Mo saw that no one else showed up, and his heart sank. He turned around and called up the map, trying to operate it, but found that Teleportation Array had malfunctioned and could not be used at all. The situation was obvious. Someone manipulated Teleportation Array and deliberately sent only the two of them over. Qi Mo looked at Lin Qingyang worriedly.
Lin Qingyang looked at the dilapidated town in front of him. The buildings on both sides were swaying here and there, and some had completely collapsed, leaving only a few pillars standing alone. The broken window lattice swayed in the wind, making a "squeaking" sound. There was a rotten smell in the air, mixed with a musty smell and some unexplainable fishy smell. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.
Lin Qingyang frowned and got down from Teleportation Array, stepping on the moss of Bluestone Slabs and making a squeaking sound. Qi Mo followed him closely, observing with vigilance. Suddenly there was a noise from the side, and Qi Mo nervously grabbed Lin Qingyang's hand. The two of them looked over and saw that a huge mouse had knocked over an old piece of wood and hurriedly hid in a crack in the broken stone.
Lin Qingyang glanced at the hand that was holding her tightly. Thinking of his previous confession, he looked a little uncomfortable. He moved to take his hand out, but Qi Mo held on tightly.
Lin Qingyang had no choice but to walk forward. Weeds grew everywhere among the damaged bluestone bricks, and there were scattered white corpses on the roadside. It was hard to tell whether they were humans or animals. There was thick fog all around, the sky was Wuyun dense, and the dim light made the whole town look a bit eerie.
The two walked for a long time in this dead and abandoned city. Apart from the occasional passing rats, they saw almost no living creatures. They walked all the way to a Square in the middle of the town. In the middle of the Square sat a collapsed and damaged stone statue. It was not known how long it had been, and it had weathered to the point where its appearance could not be seen.
Lin Qingyang felt vaguely that the clothes on the stone statue looked familiar. He walked up and took a closer look. It was not until he saw the vague character "Nine" engraved on the sword in the stone statue's hand that he recognized it as He had seen the stone statue of Jiuchen before in the cemetery of the Nine Skies Sect. This place is close to Ten Thousand Demons Forest. It must have been the front line of the last human-monster war. This stone statue must be commemorated by future generations.
Lin Qingyang stood up, and then his expression paused, and he suddenly realized something. He turned around in a panic and looked at the desolate scene around him, and his expression slowly became serious. This seemed to be the scene that appeared in the nightmare before!
"What's wrong?" Qi Mo asked worriedly.
"No... it's nothing." Lin Qingyang said, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, and then said worriedly, "Be careful."
After saying that, he was about to continue walking forward when Qi Mo suddenly frowned and looked ahead warily, only to see a black figure passing quickly in front of him in the mist in the distance.
Upon seeing this, Lin Qingyang immediately chased after him. Qi Mo jumped forward and quickly chased two steps forward, but he did not dare to get too far away from Lin Qingyang, nor did he run too fast.
The two chased all the way and saw the figure quickly flashing into an empty room. Lin Qingyang followed and pushed open the shaky wooden door. The room was empty and no one was seen.
Qi Mo listened with perked ears, then looked at Bedroom's half-open shabby wooden door. The two of them walked in calmly, but saw no one inside either.
Most of the things in the bedroom have weathered, and only a few pieces of furniture can still be vaguely distinguished. Qi Mo frowned and glanced around, and finally looked at the small old cabinet next to the wall. Lin Qingyang stared at the cabinet, and then heard a very small breathing sound coming from the cabinet, but the size of the cabinet could not hide anyone no matter what.
Qi Mo stepped forward, hooked the cabinet door with some vigilance, and opened it suddenly.
The moment the cabinet door opened, a red shadow came out of the cabinet. Qi Mo grabbed it with quick eyes and hands, but it turned out to be a familiar red-furred fox. Hong Ling screamed in fright, covering his face with his paws in fear.
"I don't know anything! I didn't see anything! Don't kill me!" Hong Ling shouted in fear.
"Hong Ling! It's us!" Lin Qingyang shouted helplessly.
Hong Ling put down his paws when he heard a familiar voice. When he saw it was Lin Qingyang and Qi Mo, he immediately cried and jumped into Lin Qingyang's arms.
"Elder Lin! You are finally here!" Hong Ling cried, obviously very frightened.
Lin Qingyang touched his fur and asked, "Why are you here?"
Before Hong Ling could speak, Qi Mo grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him out of Lin Qingyang's arms.
Hong Ling glared at Qi Mo helplessly, and had no choice but to change into a human form and explain, "I came with Elder Xue. She looks like she was Soul-Seizing Technique."
The charms of Soul-Seizing Technique and Fire Spirit Fox are similar in principle, but the required mana intensity is much higher. Usually the Cultivation of the caster is higher than that of the person being cast.
"What about her?" Lin Qingyang asked anxiously.
"There was a man in a black cloak before. I couldn't see his face, and I saw Elder Xue following him. Then I walked around here for a long time and couldn't get out." Hong Ling said with a face full of fear.
"It's Bi Yue!" Lin Qingyang said with a frown.
"But Nine Skies Sect has a ban on external demons, how did he get in and attack?" Qi Mo asked.
Lin Qingyang said, "His body did not go in, but attached to the crow, using the crow to disturb Shi Ruobai's mind and then control him. As for the soul-stirring curse, it should have been cast on Xue Lanyuan through Shi Ruobai."
Lin Qingyang was even more worried. If Xue Lanyuan was under the soul-obsessing curse, he would have no power to fight back against Bi Yue.
"Do you know where they went?" Lin Qingyang asked Hong Ling.
"It seems to be in the south direction." Hong Ling said and pointed.
Lin Qingyang turned around and walked out the door, followed by Qi Mo and Hong Ling in a hurry, heading south.
Hong Ling looked towards the empty street and asked Qi Mo in a low voice, "Are you and Elder Lin the only ones here?"
"Ten-Thousand-Li Tianyan Array Something went wrong and the others were stopped over there." Qi Mo said.
"Oh." Hong Ling looked a little disappointed.
The group of people walked forward all the way until they reached the city gate. Most of the masonry gate had been destroyed, and the stone plaque engraved with the name of the city was also shattered. Only half of the word "" was still vaguely identifiable.
A few people walked out of the city gate, but what they saw was lingering clouds and mist. At their feet was a steep cliff. The rugged cliff seemed to have been chopped down with a knife. Through the layers of mist, they could vaguely see the lush woods below and the black mist shrouding it. It was Ten Thousand Demons Forest.
Lin Qingyang looked at the abyss below, and his intuition told him that Bi Yue was there.
