Lin Chen and Nalan Wushuang headed west. After spending a month, they finally left Dongpeng State and entered the territory of Central China.
Lin Chen hesitated whether to go see his father, but finally gave up.
First of all, since he is now the new Human Emperor, if the Demon Emperor's personality takes over, even if he is not killed, I am afraid that he will be captured and kept in captivity for the rest of his life, and he will not be allowed to return to the human race again.
Secondly, the Demon Ancestor's matter has not been resolved. Lin Chen almost caused the Demon Ancestor's soul to fly away and his body died. If the Demon Ancestor was not dead and Lin Chen showed up, wouldn't that mean he would die?
Although Nalan Wushuang's story cannot prove much, it can at least confirm that the memory of his father's soul is still there and has not disappeared.
That's enough.
The two of them were flying at low altitude when they suddenly saw a horse team heading down the mountain road. There were about twenty people in total.
Lin Chen and Nalan Wushuang landed from the sky and landed in front of the cavalry.
The middle-aged man leading the cavalry team came forward with a nervous look on his face: "Two immortals, what can I do for you?"
Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Old man, don't be nervous, we are just asking for directions."
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said: "Two immortals, please ask."
Lin Chen asked: "Where is this place? Where is it in Central China?"
The middle-aged man replied: "This place belongs to Xingyuan City. Xingyuan City is located in the northeast of Zhongshen State and is close to Dongpeng State."
Lin Chen looked slightly happy, is there a human city?
"In which aspect of Xingyuan City is there a cross-city flying boat?"
The area is too large, and it is easy to get lost if you fly around, and it is even easy to stray into some dangerous areas. Taking a cross-city flying boat takes a safe route. It is not only safe, but also allows you to practice on the flying boat. It can be said that there is no delay in both.
Cultivators travel alone, and if they are not in a hurry, most are willing to take a commercial airship.
The middle-aged man replied: "Just thirty miles ahead, there are flying boats coming and going in the city, but there are not many of them."
After hesitating for a moment, the middle-aged man glanced at Nalan Wushuang and whispered: "If you two are not in a hurry, you can go on your own. There has been some instability in Xingyuan City recently..."
Lin Chen noticed the way he looked at Nalan Wushuang and asked, "Why is it so unfair?"
The middle-aged man replied in a low voice: "Xingyuan City was occupied by a group of monsters a few days ago. They expropriated the city and created a smoky atmosphere. The leader of the monsters was a womanizer, and all the pretty women in the city were taken away.
He was arrested and taken into the city lord's mansion, and many people died after being played with by him..."
Lin Chen immediately understood. This middle-aged man saw that Nalan Wushuang was good-looking and kindly reminded him to prevent the two of them from being targeted by the monsters when they entered the city.
Lin Chen asked: "Who was managing Xingyuan City before?"
"They are a couple of human immortals. They are very good to the people of the city. It's a pity that good people don't live long. When the group of demons came in, the male immortal was killed and the female immortal was captured. She was unwilling to surrender to the demons.
The clan, unwilling to entertain others with sex, committed suicide."
There was unconcealable indignation in the middle-aged man's voice: "Those monsters are so inhuman, the female fairy has already committed suicide, and they haven't even let her body go..."
"The group of monsters finally hung the corpses of the two immortals on the city wall, naked. The body of the female immortal was in tatters and is still hanging there. No one dares to help them collect the corpses. It's so miserable!"
Lin Chen's brows looked a little heavier: "Is there no one to manage Xingyuan City on a regular basis?"
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said: "There is no one who can fix it. You snatch it and manage it for ten years. I will kick you out and manage you for twenty years. Let's see who is more capable. But in general, if it is managed by the human race immortal chief, our lives will be different."
It’s a little easier, after all, they only enslave people. If it were managed by demons, we would all be in fear, because they would eat people at every turn..."
Lin Chen glanced at Nalan Wushuang next to him, who looked calm.
Lin Chen asked: "Is the entire Central China like this?"
The man sighed: "I heard that the Central China is close to the south and west, and there will be a lot less monsters. It basically belongs to the human race. The occupiers of the major towns are basically human race immortals. The situation will be much better."
"There are many demon tribes active in the east, northeast and southeast near Dongpeng Prefecture. Demon tribes often enter Central China from Dongpeng Prefecture and attack cities and territories. The competition for cities in this area is fierce, and the speed of changing city owners is also very fast.
"
"Fortunately, after tens of thousands of years of war between the human race and the monster race, no matter how they fight, everyone basically does not massacre ordinary people. After all, they captured the city and they also need the people to work for them, so that everyone has a chance to live.
, Otherwise, these towns would probably have no living population."
Lin Chen asked softly: "Since the living environment is so difficult, haven't you considered moving away?"
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said: "Regardless of the managers of the human race or the demon race, they strictly manage the flying boat point and will not let ordinary people like us have the opportunity to leave by flying boat. As for walking, with our footsteps, we will die.
I’m afraid we haven’t gone far yet, not to mention that there are monsters everywhere. If we leave the city a little further, we will definitely die..."
