In late May, Yu Ling held a small training class and pulled acquaintances like Yan Suiyue onto the aircraft one by one for training. In the end, they finally selected the most reliable pilot - Bai Muhan. Because even if his skills were not up to par,

If not, his soul power can still come to the rescue. Of course, there are also several substitutes such as Yan Suiyue to prevent accidents.

The total quota obtained by the academy is one hundred and fifty, which can be solved by one medium-sized transport aircraft, but Yuling still gave them a few more as spare tires.

So on the last day of May, these one hundred and fifty academy elites embarked on a journey to the feudal territory, accompanied by Bing Xuan, Lan Xinyu, Gui Yun and Fang Jingcheng.

As for Yu Ling...he wants to go to Fanhuang Prefecture first.

Because up to now, Xu Mingyuan has not returned to the academy, so it is conceivable that something must have happened.

Originally, the academy wanted to send several elders to go with Yu Ling, but after hearing that Yu Ling's spiritual ring contained Shuo, who was at the peak of the fantasy god, everyone gave up the idea decisively.

Although Young Master Fang also wanted to join in the fun, he figured out that he had been wandering outside for a long time, so he had better go back to the territory to report to his father and the others, so as not to be nagging them again.

Annoyed for a long time.

In the end, Yu Ling drove the aircraft to Fanhuang Prefecture alone. This was already the border area of ​​the Chinese Domain. To the north of Fanhuang Prefecture was the sealed Shenhuang Prefecture. Before leaving, Rong Chen had told him that he could stop by the Shenhuang Prefecture.

Take a look at the barren mountains, because "Ancient Desolate Jue" comes from that area.

Yu Ling followed the address given by the academy and searched for it. After trekking over mountains and ridges for a long time, she finally found a small village at the foot of a certain mountain. This should be Xu Mingyuan's hometown?

What is real grassroots? This is it.

It was evening at this time, and the small mountain village looked particularly warm and peaceful against the backdrop of the setting sun. The smoke was rising, and the aroma of the food was wafting everywhere. Pigs and dogs were raised in many yards, and many people were in the fields with their backs to the setting sun.

While working, from time to time small groups of children would run through the country roads, laughing and scolding. When the adults at home called their names, they reluctantly walked home.

Yu Ling was in a trance for a moment, feeling like she had traveled to a mountain village in ancient times, instead of being in a world full of cultivators.

These villagers and children are just ordinary people.

Could it be that you were looking in the wrong place?

Yu Ling hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the entrance of the village, but before he could enter the village, a big yellow dog barked out, opened its bloody mouth viciously, and bit his calf.

"Xiao Huang!" A clear child's voice sounded at the right time. The big yellow dog stared at Yu Ling and let out a threatening growl. It neither stepped forward nor retreated.

A little girl with pigtails ran over panting. She was not very pretty and delicate, and her face was a little tanned by the sun. She only had a pair of big eyes that were very clear in black and white.

"Who are you? What are you doing in our village?" The little girl looked at Yu Ling up and down like an adult.

"I'm looking for someone. Is Xu Mingyuan from your place?" Yu Ling asked directly.

"I don't know. Just stand here and don't move. I'll ask the village chief!" The little girl tilted her head and shook her head. She hurriedly said the next sentence and ran away in a hurry.

Yu Ling was not surprised. After all, the girl was only four or five years old, so she knew a limited number of people, not to mention that the village was not too small.

As a result, within a few minutes of waiting, all the villagers rushed out with tools such as hoes and brooms, and surrounded him with hostility, as if they were about to fight if they disagreed.

"Young man, what are you doing with Xu Mingyuan?" A trembling old man was helped out and stared at Yu Ling sharply.

"What's wrong with Xu Mingyuan?" Yu Ling frowned, why did he find someone and cause public outrage?

"Village Chief, why are you talking nonsense to him? This person must be an evil monster working with Xu Mingyuan. Let's go to the Immortal Chief for help!" A young man held a big ax warily.

Yu Ling was confused for a while. What on earth happened? Why could he not understand it anymore?

"What's going on? Please tell me in detail." Yu Ling stared at the young man and activated his soul power to break into his soul sea.

The young man was shocked and said with a confused expression: "Five months ago, Xu Mingyuan returned to the village. He learned a lot of terrible magic skills from somewhere. He could split a big stone easily, and he also said that he would kill these monsters.

The technique was passed on to the whole village. We all believed in his ghost.

Then, we regarded black magic as fairy magic and practiced it from morning to night. It was not until three months ago that an immortal passed by my village and woke up the dreamer with a word, telling us that we had been deceived by black magic. If we continue to do this

If you continue to practice, sooner or later your soul will dissipate and become a source of nourishment for others."

"We were blinded by lard at that time and were still half-believing. It wasn't until several villagers who were the fastest to introduce black magic died tragically in the middle of the night that we knew that the immortal was right. He took everyone to see the room where Xu Mingyuan lived, and it was all filled with floating things.

The innocent ghost made everyone’s scalp numb with fear. We begged immortals to save us.

He said that he still needed our help and asked us to bury the ninety-nine demon-suppressing nails around the house. Everyone did so one by one. Finally, the immortal finally subdued the demon and took him to the mountain slowly.

By suppressing the refining process, it is said that it will take up to half a year to completely eradicate the disaster."

"..." Yu Ling had nothing to say.

This group of ignorant villagers mistook Xu Mingyuan's good intentions as a means of harming others, and mistook the real villain as a life-saving immortal. How painful and desperate must Xu Mingyuan's heart be?

Ignorance is not terrible, what is terrible is the human heart.

When Yu Ling slowly regained her soul power, the young man also woke up from a dream, shouted in horror, pointed at Yu Ling and shouted: "Monster! He is indeed a monster too! He can control people's hearts, don't get close to him!

"

"Everyone, hurry up and find the immortal leader. I'll support you here!" A strong peasant man gritted his teeth and looked determined as if a strong man would never return. He waved his hoe and rushed towards Yu Ling.

The villagers suddenly became a mess, and Yu Ling had no intention of arguing with them, because Xu Mingyuan was indeed in extremely dangerous situation now, and he had to be found quickly.

After leaving behind this group of ignorant villagers, Yu Ling walked straight up the mountain, her soul power spreading like a sea wave, and she began to search inch by inch.

"Buzz——"

After the soul power spread to a certain place, it seemed as if it hit a solid wall and collapsed immediately. Yu Ling's eyes narrowed and he flew towards that side without hesitation.

After passing through thick bushes, a narrow cave appeared in front of Yu Ling. The entrance of the cave was only half a person tall, and there were bursts of cold air coming from inside. Even the heat of June could not cover it up at all.

Yu Ling raised her hand and touched the hole, and an invisible rebound force suddenly came through, and the dark light flickered.

Yu Ling no longer held back, the spiritual power of Huazun's peak surged out, slashed down with a knife, and landed heavily on the barrier at the entrance of the cave.

As if the glass was broken, the barrier fell apart in an instant, and the "crash" turned into broken light and disappeared without a trace. Yu Ling ducked in and found that the space inside the cave was much wider than it looked from the outside, with two or three people above and below.

meters high.

"Tick tock, tick tock." Water drops kept falling down the protruding rock thorns above the head, splashing coldly on the ground, surrounded by a bottomless darkness. If you are timid, you would have been scared.

I'm getting suspicious.

Yu Ling's soul power swept around and found only an extremely weak breath of life in the deepest part of the cave.
Chapter completed!
