Yu Yuan, who had a bad feeling, chose to go to the closest place where the screams were coming from.
He wanted to figure out the situation first before looking at anything else.
A moment later, Yu Yuan, who was like a ghost, appeared in a house surrounded by the soldiers of the Blue Phoenix Empire.
"Who are you?!"
A general in heavy armor and riding a green horse, who was at the late stage of the Profound Breaking Realm, had a square face and a determined expression. Seeing Yu Yuan suddenly appear, he shouted loudly.
He held a green spear in his hand. The sharp tip of the spear shone with a cold metallic luster as he pointed it at Yu Yuan's chest from afar.
However, at this moment, Yu Yuan felt that with his body that was as hard as iron and stone, even if he stood still, that green spear might not be able to pierce through the skin on his chest.
His body, which had been tempered countless times, gave him such confidence and confidence.
He believed that no one with a lower cultivation than him, no matter what their background was, would be able to fight against him.
"My name is Yu Yuan, and I come from the Dark Moon City of the Devil Moon Empire."
However, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and unnecessary trouble, he still reported his name at the first possible moment. "I rented a cultivation room in the Azure Sky Divine Palace. Senior Chen Langzhi of the Chen Clan accompanied me and led me to Blue Phoenix City. Just now, when I left the branch of the Tongtian Trading Company, I heard the screams here, so I came to check the situation. "
Almost none of the soldiers had heard of Yu Yuan's name before, so they didn't know where he came from.
The generals of the various empires didn't have much interaction with the cultivators of the large sects, so they weren't familiar with Yu Yuan's name.
However, they were familiar with Chen Langzhi!
The moment Yu Yuan said Chen Langzhi's name, the general who asked the question had his expression changed. He shouted softly, "Wait a moment!"
A crescent-shaped crystal fell from his sleeve. Under the dim sky, the crescent-shaped crystal emitted a pure luster. The sound transmission array engraved inside was shining like a miniature galaxy.
It was obvious that this person was reporting to Chen Langzhi from the Chen Clan using this communication tool.
He didn't let Yu Yuan wait for too long. He quickly received the news from Chen Langzhi. Immediately, he was filled with respect. He put down the long spear in his hand and shouted, "So it's Young Master Yu!"
"You flatter me," Yu Yuan hurriedly said.
"It's like this. This family has seven people." He waved his empty hand, indicating for the surrounding soldiers to stop looking at Yu Yuan as an enemy. He even dismounted from his horse and took the initiative to lead the way for Yu Yuan. "There are seven people. If they don't want to leave Qingluan City, they will stay in their houses."
When they reached the door, he nodded.
A general took the initiative to open the door. He stepped in first, and Yu Yuan followed closely behind.
In the courtyard of the house, there were seven corpses, both young and old. They were lined up in a row, but none of them had any signs of life.
The corpses' skin was still glossy and not shriveled. However, their hair was very strange. It was gray and white. Looking at it, it didn't look healthy.
There was an old well in the courtyard where the seven corpses were. From time to time, some mist would float out from the well.
If one looked closely, the mist had a faint purple color.
"When we arrived, they were already dead." The general frowned with a serious expression. "We don't know how they died. There were no signs of fighting at the scene, and no wounds on their bodies. "
"Young … Young Master Yu?"
The general explained. Seeing Yu Yuan's expression, it was as if he had been struck by a heavy blow. With a face full of shock and confusion, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
When Yu Yuan opened his mouth, he felt his mouth tremble slightly. He looked at the faint purple mist floating out from the well and the seven corpses on the ground.
He took a closer look. The corpses' hair were all gray.
Not only did the old man have gray hair, but even the young man in his twenties and the child in his teens had gray hair.
"Right now, burn the seven corpses to ashes immediately!"
Yu Yuan took a deep breath and said with difficulty. His heart was full of panic and uneasiness. "Trust me, take care of them as fast as possible! If we delay, something unexpected will happen! "
"Why?" The general didn't understand.
"You can send a message to Senior Chen. Tell him that it's my request and my will." Yu Yuan didn't bother to explain. With a thought, he shouted, "Also, if the same thing happened to those screams in other parts of Qingluan City, tell them to deal with it in the same way!"
"Burn the corpses to ashes immediately?" The general said.
Yu Yuan nodded heavily.
"I'll communicate with General Chen!" Although he didn't know the reason, he instinctively felt that something was wrong when he saw how agitated Yu Yuan was. Holding the crescent-shaped crystal, he went to communicate with Chen Langzhi.
"Oh right, where does the well water come from?" Yu Yuan shouted.
There was a smaller city under Azure Phoenix City for the Chen Family clansmen to cultivate in. Therefore, the underground had long been emptied.
The well water in the house couldn't have come from underground. It must have come from somewhere else.
"All the well water in Azure Phoenix City comes from Cloud Lake." The general didn't even think as he explained to Yu Yuan, "Before this city was built, they had already sorted out the water channels below. The people who live in the city all know this common knowledge."
"Cloud Lake!" Yu Yuan's face changed color.
"General Chen, I'll listen to you and do as you say." The general raised his hand and ordered one of his subordinates, "Ignite the flint and burn their corpses!"
"What about other places?" Yu Yuan asked again.
"General Chen said that he has already sent a message to all parties to burn the corpses according to your instructions." The general thought for a while and said, "However, at the same time, similar things are happening in all parts of Azure Phoenix City. General Chen is worried that some of the corpses might not be dealt with in time. "
"If that's the case …" Yu Yuan bitterly smiled and sighed, "I'm afraid Azure Phoenix City will be in danger."
"Impossible!" The general's face was full of pride, "Azure Phoenix City is the largest city in Qian Xuan Continent. With the protection of the 'Heavenly Phoenix Ascension Formation', even the 'Dark Lightning Dust' outside can't penetrate it. I don't believe that there is anything that can threaten Azure Phoenix City and make our Azure Phoenix Empire afraid! "
"There is, you just don't know about it."
Throwing down these words, Yu Yuan hurriedly left and headed towards the Dao Hall of the Minor Thunder Sky Sect.
Along the way, there were still mournful cries coming from all parts of the city.
The sound of galloping iron hooves also rumbled in the streets of the city. It made people feel as if their hearts were being beaten by drums, making them feel uneasy.
"How can this be? How can this be? "
Along the way, Yu Yuan asked himself in his heart.
Perhaps no one in the entire Azure Phoenix City would be able to understand his current feelings.
This was because he recognized the origin of the purple mist. The creator of the purple mist was him from his previous life!
In the past, he had used the purple mist to massacre an entire city. His fierce reputation in his later years was mostly due to the purple mist.
"Whoosh!"
Liu Ying was silently at the corner of the street. Using the Falling Star Eyes, she followed her mysterious senses. As long as Yu Yuan left the Azure Sky Hall, she would be able to find him immediately.
"Yu Yuan, something has happened in Azure Phoenix City!"
Stopping, Liu Ying exclaimed, "You might not know, but many mortals in the city have mysteriously died. Their bodies are unharmed, but their souls are in chaos. They are clearly dead, but their souls are still moving abnormally, as if some strange change is about to occur! "
"I know, bring me to the Minor Thunder Sky Sect!" Yu Yuan shouted.
"Okay!"
Liu Ying's white jade-like hand gently pulled, and Yu Yuan landed on the Falling Star Eyes that was like a skateboard. Under her mental transmission, the shrunken Falling Star Eyes brought the two of them to the Dao Hall that the Minor Thunder Sky Sect had set up in Azure Phoenix City in the blink of an eye.
Inside the Dao Hall, Xie Bin sat motionless like a mountain. Beside him, Huang Chuan was smiling mischievously.
Lightning Sect's Qi Jinghai and three other guests dressed in Lightning Sect robes were clearly older than Qi Jinghai, but they all stood behind Qi Jinghai.
When Yu Yuan and Liu Ying landed on the Falling Star Eyes, everyone in the courtyard jumped in fright.
Li Yu, who was in front of his previous house, called out softly, "Yu Yuan!"
"Yu Yuan! Liu Ying! "
The faces of Qi Jinghai and the three uninvited guests from the Lightning Sect changed.
"I'll say it again. The Ice Thunder Seal has been lost." Xie Bin said to Qi Jinghai in a cold and irritated tone. "Even if the Ice Thunder Seal hadn't been lost and was still in my hands, I would never give it up!"
"Senior Xie, since you say that the Ice Thunder Seal has been lost, I would like to know what happened." Qi Jinghai was still as gentle and courteous as ever. "I don't believe that such an important treasure would disappear from your hands without a trace. We want to know where the Ice Thunder Seal is. We will find a way to find it ourselves. "
After Yu Yuan landed, he carefully looked around the courtyard. He discovered that there was no well or purple mist rising from it.
When he descended from the sky, he also looked around. The closest place where there was a disturbance was still a great distance away.
This meant that the Minor Thunder Sky Sect's Dao Hall was safe for the time being.
He relaxed a little. Then, he went to see Qi Jinghai and the three other Lightning Sect cultivators that came with him.
"Yu Yuan! The Fiendish Demon Cauldron! "
Behind Qi Jinghai, an old man from the Lightning Sect's expression changed. He suddenly said, "Xie Bin was able to condense his Heavenly Soul again because of your help, right?"
