Chapter 113 The Evil Spirits of Sunset City
Once they returned to the inn that their Liuli Sect had booked, Chen Wanzhen summoned someone.
He instructed her to investigate Zhong Hanshang's itinerary over the past few days, including who he had met and what he had done.
She needs to understand everything so that she can find the right solution and win over Zhong Hanshang in one fell swoop.
And then there were two female cultivators who suddenly appeared, trying to curry favor with her?
But do two rogue cultivators even deserve to stand in front of her?
What do they take the Glazed Tile School for? Do they think just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get in?
When that person presented the investigation report on Zhong Hanshang over the past few days.
Chen Wanzhen discovered that Zhong Hanshang had been absent for a period of time, and no one knew what he was doing.
That period happened to be the time when Zhong Hanshang and Gao Huohuo were together.
On the other side, Gao Huohuo and Su Ruoyun left Yai Mountain and flew to an abandoned city on their swords.
Upon entering the city, all that remained were withered leaves scattered on the ground and wild vines climbing rampantly over the broken walls.
Shivering in the cold wind, the former prosperity seems like a distant dream, leaving only this desolate scene.
Seeing the scene before him, Gao Huohuo asked uncertainly.
"Fellow Daoist Su, are you sure this place has a mustard seed space?"
"Yes, but we'll need to search carefully."
Such a large city definitely needs to be thoroughly searched, but I wonder if it will delay the treasure hunt on the Dark River?
"Huo Huo, let's start from the city gate. You go east and I'll go west, we'll search separately."
Whoever discovers anything unusual first will notify the other through supernatural means.
Gao Huohuo nodded and then walked eastward.
Seeing these dilapidated houses, Gao Huohuo couldn't help but wonder what this place was like before.
She moved slowly to the window, her gaze drawn to the withered flower.
With a hint of anticipation and curiosity, I slowly reached out and gently touched the delicate petals.
The moment her fingertips touched the petals, her heart skipped a beat, and her eyes widened.
I stared in disbelief at the scene before me, which had suddenly undergone a dramatic transformation.
"This...how is this possible?" she exclaimed inwardly.
The once deserted and desolate streets seemed to be infused with vitality, instantly becoming bustling with activity.
The calls of vendors rose and fell like a cheerful melody, and the bustling crowds came and went, their faces beaming with enthusiasm for life.
At the same time, the gray sky that had shrouded everything was quickly replaced by a clear sky blue, and the sunlight poured down, warm and bright.
She looked around, her eyes sparkling with surprise and doubt.
Clearly, this was once a city brimming with spiritual energy and full of life.
But isn't this city now abandoned? Is she trapped in an illusion?
I called out to Xiaolingzi in my mind, but there was no response.
He then used his supernatural powers to call Su Ruoyun, only to find that no one answered.
Gao Huohuo tried contacting Ziying and Hanguang again, but no one answered. Now Gao Huohuo was a little nervous.
Fortunately, she could still use her spiritual power, and the system was still working.
Mustering my courage, I stopped a person on the street and asked, "Excuse me, where is this place?"
"Luoxia City! Don't you know what you're doing here?"
Sunset City? The original owner seemed to remember this city, but he didn't know the details, only the name.
Gao Huohuo then tried going into a restaurant and ordering a table full of dishes, wanting to see if it was real or fake.
But just as the dishes were served, they heard someone outside exclaim in surprise.
"Run! The soul-stealing evil spirits are back!"
Gao Huohuo, who had just gone out to see what was going on, was shocked by what she saw.
The bustling scene on the street was nowhere to be seen; only mortals were fleeing in panic, and the sky was dark and gloomy, obscured by evil spirits.
Just as a mortal was about to be overwhelmed by a malevolent spirit, Gao Huohuo lashed out with his whip, saving the mortal.
The spirit glanced at the long whip in her hand, then flew away in fear.
"Thank you for saving my life, little girl, but you should leave here soon! If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave."
"Auntie, what's wrong with Luoxia City? Why are there so many evil spirits?"
The older woman looked at her with a dejected expression, as if muttering to herself:
"It's all divine punishment, divine punishment! Luoxia City is doomed. You'd better leave now, or it will be too late."
Gao Huohuo wanted to ask a few more questions, but then he saw the long whip in his hand emerge from the spirit of the purple shadow, and the street returned to its previous dilapidated state.
"Gao Huohuo, are you alright?"
Han Guang and I were trapped just now, as was Xiao Lingzi.
"Thankfully, you used me, which awakened my power and allowed me to return."
After hearing Zi Ying's words, Gao Huohuo understood. He then looked at the potted flower that he had just touched, and it had disappeared.
It seems that the flower is the key to entering that place, and it can only be touched once.
"Purple Shadow, Cold Light, Little Lingzi, split up and search the streets to see if there are any withered flowers left."
The three spirits didn't understand why Gao Huohuo wanted to find withered flowers, but seeing her solemn expression, they still obeyed and left.
Before long, Xiao Lingzi found another potted plant at the end of the street. Gao Huohuo had learned his lesson this time and gave the three of them a heads-up in advance.
Don't call her out again. She's fine inside. If something happens, she'll use her whip.
A ghost has appeared in Luoxia City. Is it possible that no one in the Cangyun Realm knows about this?
She wanted to find out exactly what happened in Luoxia City back then.
And why can she see things from the past?
This time, Gao Huohuo touched the flower again and entered the same Luoxia City as before, but it was not the same scene she had just entered.
At this moment, she stood quietly in front of a vermilion gate, surrounded by deafening sounds of gongs and drums.
The clamor seemed to shake the entire world, and colorful silks danced wildly in the air.
The crowd surged like a tide, filled with laughter and cheers; at a glance, it was clear that someone was holding a grand wedding.
Before long, a luxuriously decorated sedan chair, surrounded by a grand procession, was slowly carried from the street in the distance.
The sedan chair was wrapped in the finest silk, embroidered with intricate patterns in gold and silver threads, and adorned with crystal-clear jade pendants at its four corners, swaying gently as the chair moved.
"The city lord is getting married! The city lord is getting married!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, and instantly, shouts rose and fell, pushing the festive atmosphere to a climax.
Is this really the city lord's wedding? Who is the city lord of Luoxia City?
The bride stepped out of the sedan chair, her face still covered by a veil.
Gao Huohuo was about to lift the veil to see what the bride looked like when she raised her hand and the veil came out again.
Before her stood Su Ruoyun, looking at her with a worried expression, waving in front of her.
Seeing that her eyes were no longer glazed over, Su Ruoyun asked, "Huohuo, what happened to you just now? I called you for a long time and you didn't respond."
Gao Huohuo then remembered that the two of them had come here to search for the Mustard Seed Space.
"Fellow Daoist Su, have you found any clues?"
"Not yet, but it's getting dark, we must leave here quickly and come back tomorrow."
Gao Huohuo looked puzzled and asked, "Why is that?"
"It is said that the city is not peaceful at night, and anyone who has not left the city by dark never comes out again."
Could it be evil spirits? Will Luoxia City turn into a world of evil spirits at night?
