The Desolate Heaven City was a small, lonely city in the Desolate Heaven Ancient Desert.
Although it was called a small city, it was actually a town. It had a radius of only a few dozen li, and its population was less than a thousand. Moreover, it was a very messy place, with human cultivators, dwarves, and even demons.
However, those who settled in the Desolate Heaven City were people who could not survive in their own world, so they came to this desolate place.
At this time, several figures appeared outside the Desolate Heaven City. It was Nie Tian and the others.
"I didn't expect that there would be a small city in this vast desert." Nie Tian looked at the city in front of him, feeling that it was unreal.
More importantly, there were some drought-resistant and sand-resistant trees planted around the Desolate Heaven City. From afar, it looked full of vitality, a stark contrast to the desolate desert.
"Nie Tian, can we find father?" Mo Ruxi asked in a low voice with a worried face.
She knew that things had become a little complicated, but she still couldn't help worrying.
Nie Tian held her hand tightly and said with determination, "Don't worry, we will definitely find Lord Mo Tai."
"En." Mo Ruxi nodded slightly, feeling much better.
Although Nie Tian said it with determination, he didn't have much confidence.
If Mo Tai and the others weren't in the Desolate Heaven City, he didn't know where to look.
Trying to find two missing people in the vast Desolate Heaven Ancient Desert was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.
Nie Tian didn't know what happened to the caravan, so he could only find out after seeing Ding Yifan and Mo Tai.
Nie Tian asked Qiu Shan to cover up the coffin. If others saw one person carrying a coffin, it would attract too much attention.
After entering the Desolate Heaven City, Nie Tian found that the streets here weren't much different from ordinary cities. There was no dust on the ground.
"It seems that the small trees on the outskirts not only look beautiful, but also block the wind and sand," Nie Tian thought. The Desolate Heaven City was like a paradise in the middle of the desert.
The appearance of Nie Tian and the others attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd. One by one, they turned to look at them, their eyes filled with intense hostility.
The residents of Barren Sky City were almost isolated from the rest of the world. They didn't like outsiders visiting.
Soon, Nie Tian and the others arrived at the only tavern in Desolate Heaven City, hoping to get some information from there.
Nie Tian called over the waiter of the tavern. The waiter was a 14 or 15 year old young man who seemed to be very clever.
"Young Master, are you an outsider?" The young man recognized the identity of Nie Tian and the others with a smile.
Nie Tian didn't hide anything and nodded with a smile, "Little brother, I want to ask you something."
"Young Master, you've found the right person to ask me about something. The Desolate Heaven City isn't very big, so I'm well aware of all the big and small matters. "The attendant chuckled with a shrewd look on his face, and he didn't forget to praise himself.
Without beating around the bush, Nie Tian took out a few supreme-grade Origin Crystals and handed them to him. Without beating around the bush, he asked, "Half a month ago, a caravan picked up some items from Desolate Heaven City. Do you know about this?"
Hearing Nie Tian's question, the smile on the attendant's face suddenly froze, and he suddenly shouted, "Shopkeeper, they're here!"
"Huh?" Nie Tian's face darkened, and he jumped up, grabbing the attendant's neck with one hand.
The attendant's face turned red, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't.
Lu Liangcai and the others also became nervous, standing up one after another.
What did the attendant mean by shouting just now? It seemed that the 'shopkeeper' he mentioned had been waiting for them to show up.
Seeing Nie Tian's actions, the surrounding crowd rose to their feet and glared at him with eyes filled with extreme anger.
Seeing this, Nie Tian couldn't help but be surprised.
The people here were so strange. They all stood up for a single attendant.
If this happened in other places, Nie Tian probably wouldn't stand up even if he killed the attendant, and would just watch the show.
The Desolate Heaven City was isolated from the rest of the world, and its people were different from the outside world, but they were so united.
"Young man, let him go." At this time, an indifferent voice sounded, and a chubby white-haired old man appeared, staring at Nie Tian with a faint smile on his face.
Seeing the white-haired old man appear, Nie Tian's Divine Sense immediately spread out, but it was as if he had fallen into a vast, bottomless ocean.
He couldn't sense the old man's aura, which was very strange.
Seeing that the old man didn't have any bad intentions, Nie Tian let go of the attendant and said directly, "Old mister, have you been waiting for us?"
"Sort of." The old man chuckled, looking at Nie Tian with a bit of surprise, and then said, "You're here to find someone, right? Come with me."
Nie Tian and the others were stunned. It seemed that the old man knew everything in advance, and was waiting for them to show up.
"Everyone, sit down. It's just a misunderstanding," the old man waved his hand and said lightly.
Everyone nodded respectfully and sat down.
From this scene, Nie Tian guessed that the old man's status in the Desolate Heaven City was very high. He was definitely not just a tavern manager.
After a while, Nie Tian and the others followed the old man to a room on the second floor.
In the room, there were two beds, each with a person lying on it, breathing weakly.
"Father!"
"Yifan!"
Seeing the two people on the bed, Mo Ruxi and Aoki Yuri screamed at the same time.
The people lying on the bed were Mo Tai and Ding Yifan.
Nie Tian was quite surprised, and he immediately sensed Mo Tai and Ding Yifan's aura. Although it was weak, it was stable, and their lives were no longer in danger.
"Everyone, let these two ladies take care of the patients in the room. We'll talk in another room," the old man said lightly, and without waiting for Nie Tian and the others to respond, he opened the door and walked out.
Nie Tian and the others followed him to another room.
"May I know how to address you, old mister?" Nie Tian knew that the old man before him must have saved Mo Tai and Ding Yifan. Hence, his tone became more respectful as he asked.
"I'm Huo Yuan," the old man smiled faintly.
"Old Huo, thank you for saving my friends." Nie Tian nodded slightly and bowed to express his gratitude.
Huo Yuan laughed heartily and suddenly asked, "Little friend, are you an alchemist?"
"Yes." Nie Tian nodded and admitted.
Huo Yuan nodded and said with a look of approval, "I didn't expect your Mental Energy to reach level 53 at such a young age. Your talent in alchemy is the first I've seen in my life. There hasn't been such a terrifying genius like you in the Mini Sumeru World for thousands of years. Amazing! "
The word 'amazing' revealed Huo Yuan's surprise at Nie Tian's talent.
The corner of Nie Tian's mouth curled up slightly, but he didn't show much expression.
"Such a firm mind, how rare!" Huo Yuan glanced at Nie Tian and sighed with emotion. He then turned his gaze to Qiu Shan. To be more precise, he was looking at the small coffin on Qiu Shan's back.
"The thing you're carrying is very dangerous. Leave it to me," Huo Yuan said lightly as he looked at Qiu Shan.
His tone was calm, without the slightest ripple, but it contained a domineering aura that no one could defy.
