"Hello Zhuo Wen, I was at the battle at Tiandu Peak four months ago. You are really strong."
Xu Ronghua looked dignified and generous, stretched out a delicate and white jade hand, placed it in front of Zhuo Wen, and said with a smile.
Zhuo Wen was startled, but he also stretched out his hand, shook it lightly, and said with a smile: "That is also due to the special characteristics of the armor soul in me, and my strength is only average."
This Xu Ronghua's strength is quite good. His cultivation has reached the sixth level of the Imperial Realm. Judging from his aura, he is probably not far from the seventh level of the Imperial Realm. And this is just the core disciple of Tiandu Peak.
It seems that the gap between Aoyuan Peak and Tiandu Peak is quite big.
In the process of shaking hands with him, Zhuo Wen also looked at the more than 20 core disciples behind Xu Ronghua and found that these disciples were basically around the fourth-level imperial realm, and some were at the fifth-level imperial realm.
Xu Ronghua shook her head, obviously not believing Zhuo Wen's words, but she was a smart person, and this involved Zhuo Wen's privacy, so naturally she would not continue to ask further questions.
"Alright, let's go. Do you understand that you are fully subject to Zhuo Wen's instructions for this investigation?" Old Man Tiandu suddenly said seriously.
"yes!"
The more than 20 core disciples headed by Xu Ronghua should all be there.
"This is the high-level imperial weapon Red Sky Flying Sword. It is extremely fast. Riding on this flying sword, you will be able to reach the border of Shenyou Realm within three days. Your purpose this time is Sanyuan City, and what you are investigating is Lin Lin.
The truth behind the destruction of Yanyue City in Sanyuan City."
Old Man Tiandu waved his sleeves and immediately took out a red flying sword. The flying sword buzzed and swelled to a size of tens of feet. It was more than enough for more than twenty people to stand on it.
of.
"Zhuowen, take this jade talisman. It contains my imprint. If you encounter trouble in Sanyuan City, crush the jade talisman and I will rush over immediately."
Shao Yu took out a jade charm from his sleeve robe, then handed it to Zhuo Wen and whispered.
After taking the jade talisman, Zhuo Wen looked at Shao Yu with some surprise, nodded and smiled: "It seems that you still care about me, your disciple. Since you are so sincere, I will accept it without mercy."
"You brat, what are you talking about?" Shao Yu's eyes suddenly widened in anger, and his tone became a little unkind.
"I'm leaving, old man Shao. I accept your kindness. Goodbye."
With that said, Zhuo Wen stepped onto the Scarlet Sky Flying Sword, and Xu Ronghua and more than 20 people also followed. Then the Scarlet Sky Flying Sword turned into a flash of red light and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
…
The speed of the Red Sky Flying Sword is indeed fast, even faster than Zhuo Wen unfolding his purple thunder wings.
Of course, if Zhuo Wen applies the power of the void to the purple thunder wings, his speed will be doubled, which may not be comparable to the Red Sky Flying Sword at his feet.
As old man Tiandu said, it indeed only took three days for Zhuo Wen and his team to arrive in Sanyuan City.
However, when the Scarlet Sky Flying Sword descended on Sanyuan City, everyone was shocked, because they discovered that the city that was supposed to be bustling and bustling was actually extremely silent at the moment.
At a glance, there is not even a ghost in Sanyuan City, it looks like a dead city.
"Is this what Sanyuan City was originally like?"
Looking down at the extremely silent Sanyuan City, Zhuo Wen turned back and asked Xu Ronghua.
Xu Ronghua shook his head and said: "Although Sanyuan City is a relatively remote town in Shenyou Realm, it is not so big that no one can be seen. Could it be that the tragedy in Yanyue City has spread to Sanyuan City?
?”
"Probably!"
Zhuo Wen's eyes showed a cautious look, and he immediately commanded the Red Sky Flying Sword to land in the center of Sanyuan City.
More than twenty people flew their swords and looked around with alert expressions.
Zhuo Wen frowned slightly, and his powerful mental power, like invisible tentacles, spread in all directions, exploring the conditions inside the surrounding buildings.
But what made Zhuo Wen's brows tighten even more was that there was actually no one in the surrounding buildings. Even the things inside the buildings were intact, without any signs of fighting or other signs. It was as if everyone in Sanyuan City had evaporated at this moment.
.
"Zhuo Wen, should we spread out and search inside Sanyuan City?" Xu Ronghua frowned and asked Zhuo Wenzheng beside him.
"Yes! You spread out and search, but be careful. If there is anything wrong, use the jade messenger to summon us immediately." Zhuo Wen nodded.
With that said, Xu Ronghua began to assign tasks. It must be said that Xu Ronghua was extremely capable, and she also had some skills in scheduling other core disciples.
Judging from the respectful attitude of those disciples towards Xu Ronghua, Xu Ronghua has a high prestige in their eyes. If Zhuo Wen comes to arrange things, those disciples may not necessarily listen to Zhuo Wen.
After the distribution, more than twenty disciples rushed around and began to search the entire Sanyuan City, while Xu Ronghua stayed behind and stayed with Zhuo Wen.
"Zhuowen, do you see any difference?" Xu Ronghua asked in a low voice.
Zhuo Wen shook his head and said: "I can't see it either. If you want to understand what happened here, you must find the original residents of Sanyuan City. Otherwise, there will be no clues at all from such a dead city.
"
After a while, more than twenty core disciples gathered from other places in Sanyuan City on the street where Zhuo Wen and Xu Ronghua were.
However, to the disappointment of De Zhuowen and Xu Ronghua, more than 20 people did not find any useful clues in other parts of Sanyuan City, and even found no living person at all.
Xu Ronghua's beautiful eyes showed worry, and he said: "What happened? Why did Sanyuan City become an empty city?"
"Xu Ronghua, do you know the address of Yanyue City?" Zhuo Wen suddenly asked.
Xu Ronghua was startled, and then subconsciously said: "I know!"
"Then you come with me to Yanyue City. The others will stay in Sanyuan City and wait for us to come back."
Zhuo Wen gave instructions, then controlled the Red Sky Flying Sword, lifted him and Xu Ronghua up, turned into a fiery red arc of light, and disappeared over Sanyuan City.
Yanyue City is very close to Sanyuan City, and it only took Zhuo Wen an hour to arrive at Yanyue City.
The feeling that Yanyue City gave him was even more dead and empty than that of Sanyuan City. Zhuo Wen even vaguely noticed that the air in Yanyue City was filled with strange mist, and the mist was full of the meaning of death.
.
"Yanyue City is also a dead city. Master Tiandu Peak said that Yanyue City was massacred and no one in it survived." Xu Ronghua sighed softly.
"City massacre? Senior Tiandu is so sure that Yanyue City was massacred?" Zhuo Wen asked in surprise.
"That was also the Peak Master's guess. He felt that the chance of massacre was the highest." Xu Ronghua replied.
"Are there other cities near here?" Zhuo Wen continued to ask.
Xu Ronghua took out a scroll from the spiritual ring, opened it, looked at it, and said: "In this border area, there are a total of five cities. In addition to Yanyue City and Sanyuan City, there are three other cities, namely Renjia City, Yanliang City and
Dumao City.”
"Then let's go visit these three cities."
Zhuo Wen didn't talk nonsense. With a touch of his hand, he took Xu Ronghua directly onto the flying sword and flew towards the other three cities.
It took the two of them three hours to inspect the three cities. However, what made them feel gloomy was that the three cities, like Sanyuan City and Yanyue City, were dead cities. They were empty and full of deathly silence.
the taste of.
"All five cities on the border were massacred? Who on earth could kill all five cities and nearly millions of people in such a short period of time, without leaving any trace of people alive or dead?
"
Staying in Dumao City, the last city, Zhuo Wen and Xu Ronghua looked at each other, their brows furrowed tighter, and the doubts in their hearts became deeper and deeper.
Who on earth slaughtered all these five cities? And they did it so cleanly.
"Zhuo Wen, let's go back to Sanyuan City first. This border is very strange. I'm afraid we need to go back to the inner courtyard and report the matter to the peak master." Xu Ronghua said to Zhuo Wen.
"Okay, let's go back to the inner courtyard first."
Zhuo Wen had no objection. With a wave of his sleeves, the Red Sky Flying Sword flew out again and headed towards Sanyuan City. After about three or four hours, it landed in Sanyuan City.
At this moment, the sky also became dark, and the surroundings were white and pitch black. In the empty dead city, not even a single light was lit, and it looked extremely lonely.
Whoosh!
The Scarlet Sky Flying Sword landed in Sanyuan City, and then Xu Ronghua took out the jade talisman to notify the more than 20 core disciples who had stayed in the city before.
"Huh? No response?"
After sending the message, Xu Ronghua frowned slightly and said in shock.
"What's wrong?" Zhuo Wen asked.
"Just now I used the Jade Talisman of Messaging to notify the other brothers, but no one responded. Logically speaking, if they were all in Sanyuan City, they would definitely reply to my message." Xu Ronghua frowned and said.
"Maybe they saw that we haven't come back for a long time, and they might go out to look for us. Why don't we stay in Sanyuan City for one night. Maybe they will come back tomorrow, and then we can go back to the inner courtyard together." Zhuo Wen suggested.
Xu Ronghua sighed softly, and said with worry in his beautiful eyes: "It seems that this is the only way."
"Then there is the inn in front. There must be many rooms in it. We can just go in and stay for the night."
Zhuo Wen pointed forward, where stood a rather exquisite small attic. A bamboo pole was inserted outside the attic, and a canvas was hung on the bamboo pole. The word "stack" was written on the canvas.
After entering the inn, it was pitch dark inside. Zhuo Wen flicked his finger and took out a luminous pearl from the spiritual ring. This luminous pearl may be a rare treasure in the secular world, but to a warrior, it is just a common object, used for lighting.
"Everything in this inn is neat and tidy, but there is no one there. I really don't know what happened before?" Xu Ronghua looked around the inn and sighed softly.
At this moment, Zhuo Wen had already walked up to the second floor, opened a room at will, found that the door was not locked, and entered the room...
