Provincial capitals were extremely safe. County capitals were relatively safer. Places related to Transcendent clans were also relatively safer. The demons also knew that the Transcendents of the Xia people were looking for them. Thus, they would usually stay far away from these places.
What was the most dangerous place?
The large number of counties and villages were the most dangerous. The population here was densely packed. Even the weakest rank 1 demon would be able to do as they pleased. These counties were not a threat to them at all. After all … the world of the Xia people was too huge. There were too many counties at the lowest level. It was impossible for every county to have arrays that could suppress Transcendents. They did not have that many resources!
"Xiu."
How fast was Dongbo Xue Ying's current speed? The Embryonic True Meaning of Extreme Piercing's control over the Heaven and Earth Energy, along with his Transcendent body … was terrifyingly fast. It was much, much faster than when he first became a Transcendent.
From Snowrock Castle to Water Rites Town, within a breath's time, Dongbo Xue Ying had already landed in Water Rites Town.
"After so many years, Water Rites Town hasn't changed much." Dongbo Xue Ying walked.
The Cloudwater and Fire Robe on his body had also turned into an ordinary black robe.
His face was also changing. With a slight change in his facial features, his appearance was completely different! His appearance as Dongbo Xue Ying … if the demons had the intention to search for him, they should be able to find out what he looked like. Naturally, he had to hide it.
"Hua —"
Borrowing the Heaven and Earth Energy, his soul force spread out in all directions, radiating over a hundred kilometers.
This hundred kilometers naturally enveloped the entire county of Water Rites Town. The millions of residents within the county were all under his observation. Whether it was the fights on the streets, the blood spilled in the dark, the flesh traded, the bitter training … all sorts of scenes were under his observation. Dongbo Xue Ying's powerful soul force was able to easily distinguish everything.
"Boss, give me something to eat." Dongbo Xue Ying randomly found a corner of a restaurant and ordered some breakfast.
He ate slowly.
Investigating demons …
Actually, it was that easy. As long as he walked around, he could eat, drink, and play around. As long as he often used the power of the world to investigate his surroundings, he would be considered to be doing his duty!
There was nothing that could be done about it. The demons hid themselves very well. Just like how Transcendents could turn their bodies into particles, they could turn into water, spheres, and so on. Abyssals could also transform! They could easily transform into human form, and since these demons lived in the Dark Abyss, they had the means to conceal their auras.
They changed their appearances and completely concealed their auras. Then, he would not be able to see any flaws!
If they could see through the flaws, the human Demigods would be able to borrow the power of the heavens and the earth to search a wider area. They would be able to search thousands of miles in one go, and they would be able to search the entire Xia people's world! But why couldn't they find them? It was because as long as the demons hid and didn't reveal their auras, no one would be able to tell that they were any different from normal humans.
However —
They only wanted to fight! Or devouring human souls! As long as he did something that required him to use the demonic energy in his body, the aura of that demonic energy … could not be concealed and would be immediately discovered!
What Dongbo Xue Ying and the others needed to do was to maintain the surveillance of the Heavens and Earth and wait for their prey! The moment they discovered the aura of a demon, they would immediately chase after it.
Borrowing the power of the heavens and the earth to search was very safe. This was because the power of the heavens and the earth was everywhere. As long as one didn't control the power of the heavens and the earth, and used the power of the heavens and the earth to search … the demons would not be able to discover them.
"If I just wait like this for half a year, I wonder how many demons I can catch." Dongbo Xue Ying thought to himself.
… …
The days of hunting demons were so leisurely.
Every day, he would eat and drink. Dongbo Xue Ying was like a playboy. He would often sit in restaurants and other places for half a day, listening to female singers.
After staying in Water Rites Town for a month, he didn't gain anything!
Thus, Dongbo Xue Ying left Water Rites Town.
Walking through a few villages.
"Strange, strange."
"There's no trace at all." Dongbo Xue Ying muttered to himself. He even used his communication wristband to communicate with other Transcendents.
"Brother Dongbo, I can't find any traces either! I've asked the Dragon Mountain Manor. A month ago, there were some villagers whose souls were devoured. But now, the entire county is very peaceful. I haven't heard of any cases of villagers' souls being devoured, nor have there been any cases of large scale disappearances. "
"Brother Snow Eagle, I feel that these demons are aware that we have been searching for them recently. It seems that they have retreated."
Dongbo Xue Ying discovered that he wasn't the only one. Many other Transcendents had also discovered that the demons had become even more low-key recently.
"Hmph."
"At the beginning, they were just enduring, but soon, they would not be able to endure it." Dongbo Xue Ying had read the dossiers of the Demigods in the history of the Xia people. Naturally, he was clear that a dog could not stop itself from eating feces. How could it be possible for the demons to not devour the souls of humans when they saw so many humans? It might be possible for them to endure for three to five months, but it was impossible for them to endure for a few years. They would definitely go crazy.
The Infernal Palace had also issued an order for the Transcendents to search patiently.
*****
Azure River County City.
Dongbo Xue Ying was walking in the county city. He was in a good mood. This was the place where he first met Jing Qiu.
"In the blink of an eye, 30 years have passed." Xue Ying casually entered a restaurant by the side of the street and directly went to the second floor of the restaurant. He found a seat by the window and sat down. After ordering some food and drinks, he began to slowly waste his time. Borrowing the power of the heavens and earth, he surveyed his surroundings. He even started to ponder about his spear techniques.
As for investigating? He just needed to spend some time on it.
Xue Ying enjoyed this sort of leisurely pondering over his spear techniques as he walked around. His heart could become more tranquil, and his own spear techniques could faintly become more reserved. Everything he did was to pursue the essence. He felt that if this continued, his spear techniques would eventually find a Profound Mystery that could make up for the flaws.
"Eh?" In the afternoon, Dongbo Xue Ying suddenly frowned. "She came here?"
"Madam You Yue, my master has already arrived. He is waiting for Madam You Yue on the third floor." Below the restaurant, a luxurious horse carriage stopped. A beautiful middle-aged woman dressed in luxurious clothing walked down. Beside her were two Meteor rank guards. At this moment, an old man respectfully welcomed her at the entrance of the restaurant, "Madam You Yue, please."
"Lead the way." The beautiful middle-aged woman said indifferently. She had a noble air about her.
The old man did not dare to be negligent.
This Madam You Yue was a very famous and influential person in the upper circle of Azure River County. It was said that she was the first love of the legendary Transcendent, 'Dongbo Xue Ying'! There were also rumors that she and Dongbo Xue Ying were siblings. In short, when she was young, she lived together with the legendary 'Dongbo Xue Ying' in the same castle. This was not fake.
"Deng deng deng." Following the wooden stairs of the restaurant, under the guidance of the old man, the beautiful middle-aged woman led the two Meteor rank guards up to the second floor, and then to the third floor.
On the second floor, in a corner near the window, Dongbo Xue Ying sat there, looking at the back of the beautiful middle-aged woman as she ascended to the third floor.
"You Yue." Dongbo Xue Ying's mood was somewhat complicated.
That year, that immature young girl who called him 'Big Brother Xue Ying', the girl who had once made him incomparably angry, had now become a middle-aged woman. Although she still retained her charm and beauty, the wrinkles at the corner of her eyes could already be seen clearly. Her skin was gradually loosening, and in terms of appearance, she seemed even older than his mother, Mo Yang Yu.
That's right, You Yue was already over 50 years old. Even now, she was still a Heaven Rank Mage and had not stepped into the Star Realm. In terms of lifespan, she could only live up to 80 or 90 years. Being able to maintain her current appearance was already not bad.
