" Beiyu, something's not right. Should we... leave first?"
In a shady spot on the street, several members of the Northern Wolf Kingdom secretly observed the situation. Even as outsiders, they sensed that something was amiss in Liuzhou City.
"Leave? What are we going to use to leave?" Beiyu's face was icy. "We don't have any elders leading the way. Are you confident you can get past that gatekeeper?"
The child was taken aback, then immediately shook his head. The magnificent giant wolf at the entrance was incredibly intimidating, conservatively estimated to be of the First Rank.
"We can fly out in other directions."
Several young men rolled their eyes. Beiyu patiently explained, "Those door gods don't just guard one door. Jiangnan has been open for so long. Do you think outsiders haven't considered invading Liuzhou from other places? Liuzhou is so prosperous, yet its public security is so good. It's clear that those door gods are not as simple as they seem."
"If it's so powerful, why did it infiltrate with demons this time?"
"This demon is no ordinary being." Beiyu sighed, looking around. "I've never seen anything like it before. How could it so quickly turn the city's atmosphere so hostile? This kind of ability, if it successfully infiltrates any city, including our Northern Wolf Kingdom, would be catastrophic. That guy Murong has really messed with something he should never have!"
"Then what do we do?" Wutu Yun frowned beside him. "We can't run away, we can't fight back, are we just going to wait here to die?"
As he spoke, everyone inexplicably looked at him.
"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Wutu Yun irritably.
Someone next to you said blankly, "Your eyes."
"What happened to my eyes?" Wutu Yun and froze, his whole body covered in blood and tears.
Those around could clearly see that Wutu Yun's eyes were bloodshot, just like the surrounding people who were gradually losing control.
"I... I'm fine," Wutu Yun, suddenly flustered, his eyes filled with fear.
Beiyu saw this and her heart skipped a beat. She had observed clearly that people who were terrified would develop resentment even faster afterward. Liuzhou's inexplicable emotions had obviously infected them!
"Don't panic," Beiyu took a breath. "Let's go find Murong first."
Seeing that Beiyu had changed the subject and stopped putting pressure on him, Wutu Yun breathed a slight sigh of relief, and the red in his eyes calmed down considerably.
Beiyu, who was secretly observing, nodded to himself. Sure enough, it was related to emotions. As long as he didn't get too agitated, he should be able to buy some time. He had to find Murong and come up with a solution before the whole city went crazy.
"You said you saw a mark left by Murong, could it be a trap set by that demon?" A woman about the same age as Beiyu asked with a frown.
"I don't know either," Beiyu shook his head. " The Murong Family's special mark is difficult for outsiders to imitate, and the method of identification requires the special sense of smell of our Wolf God family. Theoretically, only people from the Central Plains can detect the Murong mark, but you never know. The abilities of demons in this world are bizarre. As far as I know, there has been a terrifying existence in the Central Plains that can alter people's memories, like the Thousand-Faced Fox. The monster that caused the chaos in Liuzhou this time is probably something that cannot be judged by common sense, just like that Thousand-Faced Fox."
Everyone was taken aback, and their hearts pounded with even more unease.
" Central Plains: don't put all your eggs in one basket." Beiyu looked at the woman who had spoken to him earlier. "You take the Yelü Family, the Bugu Family, and the Murong Family to hide somewhere else for now. Wutu Yun, Han Feng, and I will follow Murong Bingyun's trail to check things out. If anything happens, contact us immediately using the secret treasure. Remember, trust no one except us, and try to stay away from crowds. If Liuzhou can't handle this riot, stay away from those Fighter Army!"
The group of young men looked at each other, appearing somewhat hesitant.
"Go quickly, and remember to stay away from the Fighter Army!"
The Fighter Army in Liuzhou were tall and strong, with robust blood and energy. Each of them possessed the strength of a descendant of a powerful bloodline. Once a rebellion broke out, these young sorcerers would be the hardest to resist.
"Be careful Beiyu!"
"Um"
After watching the group of disciples leave with Murong Bingyun's younger sister, Wutu Yun spoke up, "Are you keeping me by your side because you're afraid I'll suddenly lose control?"
"Yes," Beiyu turned around, not hiding anything, "Your condition is very bad, I can only feel at ease if you're with me."
Hearing this, Wutu Yun felt a little relieved. "Alright, if I lose control later, don't hold back, try your best to ensure the safety of others."
"I will," Beiyu said, looking at the other person with a puzzled expression. "Everyone here is fine. When I sensed something was wrong, I had everyone, including you, leave the crowd. Why was it only you who got into trouble?"
"I... I don't know either." Wutu Yun also felt somewhat confused.
Who did you just come into contact with?
"Now that you mention it, it seems so." Wutu Yun suddenly recalled, "Before we met up with you, a Xiaopang deliberately came over to talk to our disciples. I initially ignored him, but Xiaopang looked really familiar. Considering Murong's tragic death, I thought he might have some clues, so I patiently chatted with him for a few more minutes. However, when you called us together later, I left immediately."
" Xiaopang?"
"Hmm, they're probably in cahoots with Shen Xue!"
" The Shen Family family?" Beiyu bit his lip, a sinister glint in his eyes. "It seems Murong wasn't wrong. The evil entity on Shen Xue's body is no ordinary thing. The chaos in Liuzhou is most likely caused by that monster that Murong noticed at the beginning. Murong has jumped into a fire pit in order to win over Shen Xue."
"Should we go back and find the Shen Family?"
"Find Murong first. Murong left us traces, most likely to tell us something."
Wutu Yun nodded, and the group followed Murong Bingyun's trail to a large courtyard in the city.
"This is... the government office?"
Beiyu frowned, thought for a moment, and finally went up to knock on the door.
"What are you doing?" Wutu Yun quickly stopped him, "What if it's a trap?"
"We're here to step into a trap," Beiyu said, taking a breath. "What's the point of coming here otherwise? In Liuzhou now, if we don't find Murong and learn the truth, we might never have another chance."
Wutu Yun remained silent for a moment after hearing this, but ultimately did not stop him.
Soon, a middle-aged woman came out of the government office and opened the courtyard gate.
Who are you?
"Greetings, Madam." Beiyu stepped forward anxiously. "Our younger brother has gone missing. We've been asking around, and someone said they saw him enter this house last night. Please tell us, Madam, have you seen our brother?"
The woman paused, clearly hesitating, and asked, "Younger brother?"
There's hope!
Beiyu's heart skipped a beat. She had just guessed, but judging from the other person's expression, it seemed like she had guessed correctly!
"But a child dressed in white feathers, about this tall?" the woman thought for a moment and finally asked.
The woman was Chen Ye's wife, and also Chen Qing's sister-in-law. Originally, she didn't want to get involved in this matter, but seeing the children's anxious expressions, she finally softened.
After all, the family must be very worried about such a young child. It would be good to know the cause of death.
"Has the lady seen you?" Beiyu hurriedly stepped forward!
"Come in and talk."
Beiyu glanced inside his robes, took a breath, and ultimately, without hesitation, forced a smile and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam."
A group of young men followed the woman through the gate, unaware that several pairs of scarlet eyes were fixed intently on the gate of the government office not far away!
" Chen Qing's government office!"
A quarter of an hour later, Ziyue and the scarecrow arrived outside the government office. He recognized Ziyue at a glance. "I heard Chen Qing's family is also inside. Are you sure you want to barge in?"
The scarecrow hesitated. That guy Chen Qing was able to build such a large force in such a short time. Of course, it wouldn't doubt that the other party had a backup plan in its own backyard.
"That Murong is quite clever," Ziyue laughed. "He actually thought of hiding here!"
"Give me a hand," the straw man said sinisterly, "I must get my hands on Murong's mark."
"No." Ziyue shook her head without hesitation. " The Dragon Palace is about to open, and I can't act rashly. I advise you not to act recklessly either. I can sense that there's something very troublesome in Chen Qing's courtyard. If you go in rashly, you'll most likely not come out."
I think you all overestimate Chen Qing.
"Those who underestimate him never have a good ending," Ziyue sneered. "The Eldest Princess suffered a loss, Lu Ming was killed instantly, and even I was accidentally sealed in Great Azure Mountain before. Do you think you can compare to any of them?"
"Besides, why the rush? The situation in Liuzhou is currently on your side, so why be in such a hurry?"
"That's true." The straw man nodded.
Once the whole city is in chaos and out of control, he believes he can force Chen Qing to reveal his backup plan, and at that time, he will surely be able to get what he wants!
The people of Liuzhou City are harder to control than those in other places, but only temporarily. In at most another hour, this place will become their home ground!
