Sima Youyue was not interested in the feud between the Governor's Office and the Governor's Office. In order not to be discovered, the two of them left quietly after they heard the news.
But even so, they were almost discovered when they left.
After returning, Sima Youyue asked about the Great Liang City.
Old Man Li was shocked. "Are you sure it's the Great Liang City?"
Seeing Old Man Li's reaction, Sima Youyue asked curiously, "What's wrong with the Great Liang City?"
"You don't know about the Great Liang City," Old Man Li sighed in his heart. "The surrounding areas of the Imperial Capital are all flat and comfortable. Only the area around the Great Liang City is not only uneven, but there are also many dangerous places. Moreover, it's very strange. There are some places where people will disappear as they walk. "
"So strange?"
"Yes, and no matter how powerful the people are, they won't be able to find out the reason. As long as the people disappear, they will never appear again." Old Man Li was a little scared when he thought about this situation.
Sima Youyue and Wu Lingyu looked at each other. They had the same curiosity and fear in their hearts.
It seemed that the Soul Society was really different from other places. There were terrifying winds and a place like the Great Liang City.
"Since the Great Liang City is so dangerous, why is the genius selection held there?" Sima Youyue didn't understand. "Is it to better select the geniuses?"
"I don't think so." Wu Lingyu shook his head. "Although they are geniuses, I don't think they are very strong. It's fine to lose one or two people, but if many people die, it won't be worth it."
The real geniuses had already chosen their masters or had already started working for the Soul Society. They wouldn't have to wait for the selection. Therefore, the people who participated in the selection were naturally young and talented.
However, the young people here were not calculated according to their age. They were calculated according to the time they came to the Soul Society.
Sima Youyue thought about it and agreed. If everyone died or disappeared, it would be a great loss.
"Then why did he choose such a dangerous place?" This time, Old Man Li asked. She couldn't think of a reason either.
"Only the people in power would know. Maybe we will know something when we go there," Wu Lingyu said.
"You guys still want to go there?" Old Man Li looked at them in surprise.
"Since we know where the genius selection is, of course we have to go there," Sima Youyue said with certainty.
"Do you guys know that there are other dangers there besides these?"
"I don't have to think to know. But this won't stop us. "Sima Youyue smiled." Moreover, how can there be so many safe places in this world? Look at how many people are safe today, but tomorrow, they will be dead. A safe place doesn't mean there is no danger, and a dangerous place doesn't mean it is not safe. Uncle Li, shouldn't you feel this way the most? "
Old Man Li's body trembled. Sima Youyue was right. Lone cultivators like them could feel it the most. If they were still alive today, who knew if they would come back tomorrow. Even if they were in a safer place, wouldn't they still face all kinds of dangers?
Just like the gale this time, he had no money. He would either be blown to death by the gale, or he could only agree to do a year of forced labor. Either way, he would die. Who knew what it would be like in Daliang City? Maybe he could even fight for a way out.
But …
Sima Youyue saw his uncertain expression and thought that he was unwilling. She said, "If you don't want to go, we won't force you. After all, the road ahead is too dangerous."
"It's not that I don't want to go, but I don't know much about that place. But I have a friend there. If I go there, I can find her to understand the local situation. "Old Man Li calculated in his heart and chose to go with them.
"It'll be easier if you have a friend." Sima Youyue smiled. It would be much easier to leave the information to the locals if it was difficult for outsiders to inquire about it.
"Then we can set off when the wind is over," Old Man Li said. Seeing Sima Youyue nod, his heart was finally at ease. He was really afraid that she would not bring him along.
Two days later, the originally clear sky suddenly changed. It turned from a sunny day to a gale in just a few minutes.
When the wind started blowing, all the city gates were closed, and the City Defense Formation was immediately activated. People who had not entered the city in time were blocked outside the city. When the wind blew, they were all blown into the sky.
Sima Youyue and Wu Lingyu stood by the window and watched the people who were blown into the sky disappear in a few seconds. They sighed at the power of the wind.
"Uncle Li is right, this wind is indeed a bit scary. If we were outside, with my strength, I might not be able to withstand it without a trump card, "Sima Youyue sighed.
"This wind is so strange. It seems to be rising from the ground." Wu Lingyu had never seen such a situation before.
"That's right. I don't know what's going on. And I heard from Uncle Li that only the Azure Dragon Soul Realm has this. The other three places don't have it! "Sima Youyue was a little curious, but she did not have the energy to investigate it now.
"If you are interested, you can slowly investigate after we rescue your mother."
"Okay." She could only be curious now.
"When the wind is over, we will probably have to deal with those people," Wu Lingyu said.
"I wonder who will come first, the City Lord's Office or the Governor's Office."
Old Man Li was now on the street, looking up at those people who were blown into the sky by the wind. A few of them were people he knew. He watched them struggle in the wind for a few times before they were torn apart by the wind. They turned into black smoke and disappeared forever.
If he did not meet Sima Youyue, if he did not want to serve as a slave, he would have ended up the same as them.
So what if Daliang City was dangerous? At least he had a chance to survive. Even if he could not escape death in the end, he would still live for a few more days!
He closed his eyes. When he opened them again, there was no more hesitation in his eyes. He turned around and returned to the inn. He wanted to tell Sima Youyue something he knew.
Sima Youyue was surprised to hear his words.
"You said you found a mineral vein outside Daliang City? Is it true? "Sima Youyue asked.
"It's true." Old Man Li nodded heavily. "If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have stayed there for so many years."
"Didn't you say that you are not familiar with that place? How did you know there was a mineral vein outside the city? "Wu Lingyu asked.
"Because the incident was too tragic. We don't want to think about it again. It was that incident that made me realize that there are many places over there that people can disappear unknowingly. "Recalling the situation at that time, he could not help but shudder.
