NanGong Le's lover in the East Continent was called Zhuang Keying and she lived in a class 4 empire. There weren't many class 4 empires in the East Continent. Du Feng quickly locked onto the location and teleported to a nearby city. After changing his appearance slightly, he swaggered into the West Yuan Kingdom.
"Halt!"
Just as Du Feng reached the city gate, he was stopped by the city guards. What was going on? He was already disguised as an Origin Realm martial artist, it shouldn't be too conspicuous. After all, the monarch of a class 4 empire was only at the first or second level of the Heaven Seizing Realm. Even if a Void Sea Realm martial artist came, it would be very conspicuous. That was why he was disguised as an Origin Realm martial artist.
Origin Realm martial artists were considered to be above average here and should be respected. Why were the city guards shouting at him? Could it be that they had noticed something?
"Commander, what's the matter?"
Du Feng came in front of the city guards with a smile. He wanted to see what was going on. Because the West Yuan Kingdom didn't have any rules to charge an entrance fee, he didn't know why they were blocking the way.
"The Lord has orders … …"
One of them, who looked like the captain of the city defense team, read out a bunch of rules and regulations. In short, Du Feng understood one thing. During this period of time, outsiders were not allowed to enter the city and they couldn't apply for a temporary identity. Even if they were citizens of the city, they would have to report before going out and verify their identity when they returned.
"Commander, please do me a favor. My aunt is sick at home. She has no children and no one to take care of her. Please accept this small gift."
Du Feng rolled his eyes and took out a bag of crystal stones and quietly handed it over. Since the citizens of the city could enter, the city defense captain could turn a blind eye to it and let him in. The sudden restriction of the West Yuan Kingdom meant that there was a problem.
"Oh, so my mother is seriously ill. Hurry up and go."
Indeed, money makes the world go round. The city guard took the money and immediately changed his words. Du Feng's identity changed from a nephew visiting a sick person to a son returning home to pay his respects. He successfully entered the city gate.
"Brother Du, why are you wasting so much effort? Just kill your way in."
The ghost servant did not understand Du Feng's behavior. In fact, Xiao Hei did not understand it either. With their current strength, it wouldn't be a problem for them to slaughter everyone in the Xiyuan Kingdom, so there was no need to be so cautious.
"You don't understand. There's something wrong with this country."
There were two reasons why Du Feng came to the Xiyuan Kingdom. The first was to lure NanGong Le out, and the second was to investigate some matters. Now, it seemed that these two matters might merge together. In other words, between Li Jun and Song Wanshan, at least one of them might be imprisoned in Xiyuan Country.
The city they were in was the main city of Xiyuan Country, Xiyuan City. The sparse number of cultivators on the streets did not match with a Rank 4 Empire. What exactly happened here? Why were there so few people? Du Feng first found a teahouse and strolled in.
"Buddy, what's going on in Xiyuan City? I've only been gone for a few years. How did I end up like this? "
Du Feng ordered a few side dishes and a pot of tea, and began to find an opportunity to chat with the waiter.
"You still don't know, so you should have asked me."
"Let me tell you, there's nothing in Xiyuan City that I don't know."
This waiter looked like a chatterbox. One question from Du Feng elicited a whole bunch of questions from him. Actually, the changes in Xiyuan City only started this month. A while ago, for some unknown reason, a few black-clothed men came. All of them had their faces covered, and their bodies emitted a murderous aura, scaring the citizens into hiding.
Later on, there was news that evil spirits appeared in Xiyuan City, and they specifically captured unmarried women in the middle of the night. Some people even faintly heard screams coming from the palace. Families with unmarried women did not dare to let their children go out at night. As soon as the sky turned dark, they would quickly close their doors and hide in their rooms.
Originally, they thought that it would be fine, but they did not expect that hiding at home would not work. Within Xiyuan City, there were still girls disappearing. Moreover, most of the missing girls were the prettier ones. Their biggest characteristic was that they were relatively young and unmarried.
"There's actually such a thing? You're not trying to scare me, are you?"
Du Feng used his chopsticks to pick up a peanut, threw it into his mouth, and continued to chat with the waiter. Anyway, business had not been good recently, and he was already a big customer since he ordered so many cold dishes. The waiter sat down and chatted with him.
"Brother, listen to me. You don't have an unmarried sister at home, right?"
"If there is, let her get married quickly, or sneak out of the city. I have an acquaintance in the city defense team. "
Well, it turned out that this waiter knew how to do business secretly, helping the citizens to sneak people out of the city. Right now, the citizens of the city were in danger, and many people had sneaked out or married their daughters to the outer city. No wonder the city was so desolate.
One had to know that this was the main city of a fourth-tier empire, and the population was as high as millions. Even if many people had sneaked out, there would still be many left. Du Feng rolled his eyes and came up with a plan.
"Aiya, my little sister is still at home taking care of my old mother. I wonder if she is alright."
Du Feng patted his forehead and stood up abruptly. He threw two purple crystals on the table and left hurriedly.
"Tsk tsk tsk … What a generous offer."
The waiter looked at the two purple crystals on the table, and his eyes shone with greed. He sneakily put them in his sleeve and paid with ordinary yellow crystals. Even if he went to the best restaurant in the city, he would only need to pay with a few blue crystals. Moreover, he only ordered a few cold dishes in such a small teahouse. It seemed that this man had struck a fortune outside, and that was why he was so generous.
He had a sister at home, why not … The waiter bade farewell to the shopkeeper and went out. After going out, he walked along the main street, and soon turned into an alley. After many twists and turns, he came to the front of a house. He did not knock on the door, nor did he see anyone. Instead, he wrapped the two purple crystals in a handkerchief and threw them in. After throwing them, he quickly left. He did not look like he was here to give money, but more like a thief who stole money.
Interesting. What were these residences for? Actually, after Du Feng left just now, he did not go too far away. He was just near the teahouse. He could tell that there was something wrong with the waiter's expression. Therefore, he followed him all the way and saw the scene just now.
"There are outsiders in the city, should we take action?"
