Because in recent years, the Righteous Sect and the human government have been suppressing it with all their strength.
Generally, evil spirits will only hide in remote mountains and old forests, practicing quietly, and rarely appear in front of the public.
But according to what the scroll says, this evil thing actually appeared in Canglian Mountain City!
Little Eagle has been to Canglian Mountain City before, which is a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands.
This evil has been raging in Canglian Mountain City for nearly half a month, and it is still safe and sound.
It is simply unbelievable that he has not been suppressed and wiped out by the sects approaching Canglian Mountain City.
Gu Yuan is also a little curious about the evil things in Canglian Mountain City.
He had only seen a ferocious beast that could speak human words with Yun Duoduo when he first came to the Xuan Realm, but that ferocious beast was someone else's mount. It was an orthodox cultivating ferocious beast and could not be considered evil.
As for evil, he has never seen it before.
It can be said to be a miracle that he can appear in such a big city in the world and be active for half a month without being suppressed. It seems that this evil spirit has some abilities.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan felt that this task was really difficult.
For a moment, Gu Yuan felt nostalgic for the time when he was still in the Eagle Guard. Not only were the several tasks given to him by Deacon Pei all Class A tasks, but they were also all risk-free!
To be honest, Deacon Pei treats him well, but unfortunately he is now an inner disciple and no longer belongs to the Eagle Guard. Even if Deacon Pei wants to assign him another task, it is beyond his reach.
According to the sect's regulations, members of each small banner of the Flying Eagle Guard can only be served by outer disciples, while inner disciples must resign from the Flying Eagle Guard to join the Divine Eagle Guard.
But because both Li Cheng and Xiaoying were injured at the time, the three of them delayed for a while and did not report to the Eagle Guard for the time being.
Of course, the most important thing is that the little eagle wants to hide and relax, and Gu Yuan also finds it troublesome.
For "Burning Sky Sword Style"...
No matter how powerful this evil was, Gu Yuan was determined to suppress it completely.
Canglian Mountain City is quite far away from the sect's location, and Gu Yuan and the others were worried that the evil spirit would be suppressed by other righteous people passing by before they could arrive.
So, the three of them accepted the mission, and after a little preparation inside the sect, they immediately set off down the mountain.
After a hard journey, the three of them finally entered a small town called Sanyuan Town near Canglian Mountain City in the evening three days later.
The town is not large in size, with a size of about a thousand households.
As soon as the three of them entered the town, they immediately felt the extremely defensive attitude of the surrounding townspeople towards them.
Sanyuan Town is only a few dozen miles away from Canglian Mountain City.
There are many people going to Canglian Mountain City on weekdays. It is inevitable that some people will delay their journey for some reasons and choose to stay in Sanyuan Town.
This can be seen from the fact that there are four inns in the small Sanyuan Town where tourists can stay and eat.
Logically speaking, the people here should be accustomed to strangers entering the town and should not be so wary.
But now, the people on the street are not only wary of them.
Even in the houses on both sides of the street, there were many people secretly watching the three of them.
This made the three people walking on the streets of Sanyuan Town feel inexplicably weird.
The first person who couldn't bear the various gazes, both overt and covert, was undoubtedly the little eagle who was traveling with him.
He stopped a few people along the way and wanted to ask what happened.
But every citizen of Sanyuan Town who was stopped had a look of horror on their face, shaking their heads and waving their hands. Not only did they refuse to say a word to Gu Yuan and the others, they would also turn around and run away, as if the three of them would
Just like chasing after him.
Such a weird situation made Gu Yuan and the others feel more and more that there was some mystery behind it.
Even if the little eagle offered a lot of money to seduce him, these townspeople would not show any nostalgia and all of them ran away without exception.
After the little eagle was rejected by the sixth town citizen, he gave up the idea of asking anyone to question him again.
"These townspeople must know something, but we can't even tell a single question."
"It's just a question. It's not like I won't give them money, sir. Is there something special about the three of us?"
Gu Yuan shook his head, he couldn't figure out why.
However, Gu Yuan felt that the residents of Sanyuan Town did not have any objections to their dress at all. They might just be xenophobic or have something to hide.
He thought for a moment and pointed to the flag banner of an inn on the roadside.
"Let's rest here tonight."
"Um?
Didn’t you say you had to travel all night?”
Little Eagle was a little puzzled that Gu Yuan suddenly changed his mind and decided to stay in Sanyuan Town.
Li Cheng on the side quickly tugged on his sleeves, glanced at the strange-looking townspeople, and shook his head at the little eagle.
The little eagle shut up angrily, and together with Li Cheng, followed Gu Yuan into the inn.
Tongfu Inn.
The largest inn in Sanyuan Town.
As soon as Gu Yuan and the others entered the door, they encountered something incredible again.
During this time, Gu Yuan and the others traveled extensively and stayed in countless inns.
But there has never been an inn like Tongfu Inn. When the shopkeeper and waiter saw Gu Yuan and the other two people coming in, no one took the initiative to greet them.
It was as if Gu Yuan and the other two people walking into the inn were transparent.
Gu Yuan gave the little eagle on the side a wink.
The little eagle nodded imperceptibly.
"Hey, what's going on with you?
When you opened the door to do business, didn't you see three customers coming in? How come there was no one to say hello?
Do you still want to do business?"
The little eagle's loud shouting finally made the shopkeeper and waiter in the inn lobby come to their senses.
A waiter walked over shivering at the glance of the shopkeeper.
"Three of you, I don't know whether you are working as a prostitute or staying in a hotel?"
Looking at the waiter who was trembling with trembling hands and feet, the little eagle frowned, took out a silver coin and banged it on the counter, and asked in a loud voice:
"What's going on in your inn?
Young Master, I have a lot of money, will the three of us eat you or what? Why are we all shaking like quails?"
When the little eagle roared like this, the waiter was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.
While wiping his sweat, he said in horror: "Don't, don't eat me, don't eat me..."
After saying that, the waiter who fell to the ground did not get up, but shrank backwards.
Seeing the abnormal situation of the waiter, Gu Yuan and his party, no matter how stupid they were, realized that something must have happened in Sanyuan Town, which made Sanyuan Town so weird.
Obviously, this matter should be related to the word "cannibalism", otherwise the waiter would not be so frightened.
The three of them looked at each other. Could it be that a man-eating beast appeared here?
Then, the three of them thought about the mission they had taken. Maybe it had something to do with the evil in Canglian Mountain City not far from here.
