Late at night, the night sky was as dark as ink, without any stars or moon.
Curfew had long been in effect in Yue Jian City. The city was pitch black, with only a few places lit up.
All the streets and alleys in the city were closed. Even the brothels, taverns, and gambling houses that were only lively at night were closed for the day.
In the huge Yue Jian City, very few people came out except for the patrolling city guards.
The atmosphere in the city was solemn and oppressive. Even the night sky seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze, making it hard for the people to breathe and full of fear and worry.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Yun Yao's study was still lit.
She was still busy in the study, dealing with official business in the city.
Ever since she came to Yue Jian City, she had been busy every day for half a month. She had to work until late at night before she could rest.
Especially today, when Ji Tianxing proposed to move the people in the villages outside the city into the city. This was a major matter that had to be handled carefully.
She was bent over the table, reviewing the memorials and files on the table. Sometimes she would write quickly, and sometimes she would frown in deep thought.
Obviously, she was completely immersed in her work. She worked hard for the people of Yue Jian City and only wanted to maintain the city's peace.
A hundred steps away from the study was Ji Tianxing's residence.
As Yun Yao's fiancé, he had come to the City Lord's Mansion. Of course, he had to live with Yun Yao.
Of course, it was just living in the same courtyard.
Their rooms were facing each other, separated by a wide courtyard.
Although it was late at night, Ji Tianxing was not resting.
He was standing by the window, looking at the study opposite, watching Yun Yao's busy figure through the window.
"Yao Yao, you are indeed beautiful on the outside and intelligent on the inside, cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
The world thinks of you as an otherworldly fairy who doesn't care about the seven emotions and six desires of the human world and the suffering of the common people.
Only I know that you are kind-hearted, pure, and flawless. You even have the love to help the common people. "
He murmured in his heart, his eyes full of tenderness, and a gentle smile on his lips.
"Even if the world is in chaos, and the Demon Emperor is causing trouble, I will protect you and never let you come to harm.
The Devil Emperor was a threat to the world, so I killed him!
The demons run amok and harm the people of Li. I will wipe them out! "
Thinking of this, he secretly clenched his fists, an unyielding pride surging in his chest.
Unknowingly, he had already stood by the window for an hour.
Just as he was about to turn around and return to his bed to meditate, he suddenly felt a warm sensation in his mind.
That familiar feeling appeared once again.
He hurriedly used his spiritual sense to investigate and found that the Heaven Mending Orb in his mind was flickering with white light again, like a rising flame.
He could clearly sense that the Heaven Mending Orb was emitting a mysterious, formless power that was extending into the night sky.
"The Heaven Mending Orb is reacting again. Could it be that something is going to happen in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Ji Tianxing muttered in his heart, and hurriedly calmed his mind to sense the changes in the Heaven Mending Orb.
Very quickly, his soul began to throb as a thought appeared in his mind.
"Yue Jian, south of the city!"
He didn't understand why either. He only felt that the Heaven Mending Orb seemed to be guiding him, conveying some kind of thought to him.
Thus, he quietly walked out of the room and prepared to go to the south to take a look.
In order not to alarm Yun Yao and the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, he silently flew into the night sky and rushed south as fast as lightning.
"Swoosh!"
He sped through the night and saw that the southern part of the city was as dark as ink, without any movement.
He immediately understood that the Heaven Mending Orb wasn't guiding him to the southern part of the city, but to the south of Yue Jian City.
Thus, he flew over the southern city gate, left Yue Jian City, and continued to fly south.
Outside the southern gate of Yue Jian City was a plain with a radius of several dozen miles. It was originally a medicinal field where the Moon Primrose was planted.
However, the medicinal field had long been reduced to ruins. Even under the dark night sky, one could clearly see the ravines and pits on the ground.
Ji Tianxing crossed the plain with a radius of several dozen miles and continued to fly south. Soon, he crossed a mountain range and entered a group of mountains.
The mountains around Yue Jian City were not tall, and the mountain slopes were also relatively low.
There were many plains and valleys in the mountains, and there were many small towns and villages.
Ji Tianxing flew above the mountains and hurried on his way while paying attention to the Heaven Mending Orb's reaction.
He quickly discovered that the further south he flew, the stronger the warm feeling in his mind, and the greater the Heaven Mending Orb's reaction.
"It seems that I'm getting closer and closer to the place the Heaven Mending Orb is guiding me to."
An hour later, he had flown more than three hundred miles, crossed several mountain ranges, and passed several villages.
When he crossed another mountain range, he saw a long and narrow valley behind the mountain.
In the valley with a radius of several dozen miles, there was a small town.
This was the town furthest away from Yue Jian City, called Moonfall Town.
The town was not large, and there were only two thousand households, with a population of about seven to eight thousand people.
Half a month ago, the City Lord's Mansion had sent a group of City Guards to station in this town.
Although there were only a hundred City Guards, it was barely enough to guard this town.
Under the dark night sky, the town was very quiet, and only a few scattered lights were lit.
The four entrances of the town were guarded by more than ten City Guards.
There was also a patrol team of more than ten people, who were wearing armor and carrying swords, patrolling the town through the night.
For the past two months, Moonfall Town had been very peaceful, and nothing out of the ordinary had happened.
This place was rather far from Yue Jian City, and was less affected by the Demonic Venomous Puppets, so the townspeople were rather peaceful.
However, when Ji Tianxing arrived in the sky above Moonfall Town, he frowned and muttered to himself in a low voice, "According to the Heaven Mending Orb's guidance, this is the place."
He used a secret technique to hide his presence, and quietly hid in the night sky above the town, overlooking the entire town from above.
Although the night was dark, he could still see the entire town clearly after using the Pure Mind Dharma Eye.
The rows of houses and streets, as well as the few luxurious mansions in the town, all fell into his eyes.
The stray cats and dogs that roamed the town at night, as well as the City Guards patrolling the town, were all clearly seen by him.
He hid in the night sky, patiently observing the situation in Moonfall Town, and silently waited.
Suddenly, he noticed a black shadow darting out of a mansion on the east side of the town.
The black shadow cut through the night sky like a gust of wind, and left the mansion in the blink of an eye, entering a small alley.
This person was very agile and moved very quickly. He was also dressed in black, so he was very hidden in the night.
He silently passed through the streets and alleys, and flew out of the town, looking very suspicious.
Fortunately, Ji Tianxing was high up in the sky, so he could see everything.
"A Heaven Prime expert who can fly actually appeared in a town of a few thousand people? Something's wrong! "
He frowned, and without hesitation, he chased after the black shadow.
