We walked for another half day.
Xu Lian noticed the corpses scattered on the roadside, and the further he went, the more corpses there were.
Gradually, corpses could be seen all over the mountains and plains.
Some have already decayed and it is unknown how many years they have been dead.
Some of them are still very fresh, probably having died not long ago.
My goodness... Has Yuanfu County become so chaotic
Although Xu Lian had heard many times that Yuanfu County was in chaos, seeing it with his own eyes was still a little beyond his expectations.
Jiang Xianyu, who was at the front of the team, had already drawn the greatsword on his back and held it in his hand, ready to fight at any time.
The guards also drew their swords and looked around with vigilance.
There were bursts of fierce fighting sounds coming from the front.
On the hillside of a mountain, a man and a woman were fighting. It was unknown what deep hatred they had.
By the river, six men were fighting, and a woman was standing quietly on the side. It seemed that they were fighting for this woman
In the wasteland, two large groups of people were fighting, including men, women, young and old. It seemed that there was some hatred between the two small families, which led to the gunfight.
Xu Lian’s eyes widened. He knew that this was Yuanfu County. If he didn’t know, he would have thought he had come to a battlefield!
Jiang Xianyu looked cold and ignored these people, leading the team straight forward.
The guards were too lazy to look at these people any more. Apparently, they were already used to such scenes.
A man and a woman were fighting on the hillside, and the winner was decided. The woman was defeated and covered in blood. She started to run away, and for some reason, she ran towards the team. The man seemed not to want to let her go, and followed her closely with murderous intent.
soon.
The woman fled to the team.
"Don't come near, or you will die."
Jiang Xianyu's voice was icy cold. He raised his sword and pointed it out, emitting sword light.
The woman anxiously looked back at the man who was getting closer and closer, then she searched the team with her eyes, and finally locked onto Lao Yuntou. She approached Lao Yuntou's horse and said, "Senior, please save my life. I am willing to be with you."
The people in the team couldn't help but laugh and joke.
"Okay, Old Yuntou, you are very lucky."
"This woman is pretty, we can have some fun with her."...
This made Lao Yuntou a little interested, and he asked the woman, "Besides being with me, do you have any spiritual merit to give me?"
The woman quickly took out some spirit stones and pills and held them in her hands, "Yes."
Jiang Xianyu, who was at the front of the team, said sternly, "Anyone in my caravan is not allowed to meddle in other people's affairs, or you will be expelled from the caravan."
"Just expel them. We have already reached Yuanfu County."
Old Yuntou stretched out his hand, and with a burst of energy, he took the spirit stones and pills from the woman's hand.
He drew his weapon, leaped from his horse, landed on the ground, and rushed toward the man who was chasing him.
The man looked at Lao Yuntou and the woman hatefully, then turned and ran away.
Lao Yuntou did not pursue the woman any further. He walked back, embraced the woman, and flew onto the horse's back.
Since Lao Yuntou was expelled from the caravan and could not stay in it, he had to follow the caravan like Xu Lian and Xiao Xixi.
What is this... Xu Lian has broadened his horizons. He was greatly enlightened when he first arrived in Yuanfu County.
Old Yuntou was in high spirits. He touched the woman in his arms all over and asked with a smile, "What's the grudge between you and that man?"
The woman said, "Some time ago, I saw that he was good-looking and had decent strength, so I became his Taoist partner. However, not only did he not give me any spiritual merit, he also kept using my spiritual merit. I planned to leave him, but he wouldn't let me go and kept pestering me."
Lao Yuntou searched the woman's body thoroughly, but did not find any cultivation resources. He said with a bit of regret, "When we get to Yuanfu County, you can leave after you have made peace with me."
The woman hurriedly said, "Thank you for saving me, senior."
Xu Lian was speechless as he listened to this. What a fucking mess.
The team walked for more than an hour.
Arrived at Yuanfu County.
Xu Lian looked around and saw ruins everywhere. There were no city walls or towers, nor were there any intact houses. Corpses were everywhere, and there were people fighting. Some strange-looking demons and monsters were walking openly on the dilapidated streets.
"My dear, I am going to take the caravan to deliver the goods. Please wait for me at Lai Fu Inn. I will come to you after I have delivered the goods."
Jiang Xianyu came to the back of the team.
Xu Lian was delighted when he heard that. It took him more than half a month to get here, so there was no rush to find Ye Shenghua. He might as well take Miss Jiang down first.
Immediately.
Xu Lian said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
So Jiang Xianyu took the caravan away.
Xu Lian asked Xiao Xixi, "Where is Laifu Inn?"
Xiao Xixi pointed to a few intact houses in the county town and said, "That's it."
Xu Lian was a little curious, "What is the origin of Lai Fu Inn? Why are all other places destroyed, but only Lai Fu Inn is still intact?"
Xiao said jokingly, "I heard that this inn was opened by a powerful sect."
Okay... Xu Lian took her to Lai Fu Inn.
The woman with Lao Yuntou proposed to go to Lai Fu Inn, but Lao Yuntou disagreed, saying that Lai Fu Inn was too expensive. He meant to just find a random shabby house. The woman had no choice, as she was penniless and injured, so she had to obey Lao Yuntou's arrangements.
Xu Lian rode a black horse and Xiao Xixi rode a chestnut horse, walking side by side on the shabby street.
Seeing Xu Lian looking around curiously, Xiao Xixi quickly reminded him, "Don't look around. This will let people know that this is your first time in Yuanfu County, and you'll be easily noticed."
"It seems like I've been targeted..."
Xu Lian has a keen sense of perception.
Five black wolves rushed out of the ruined alley.
They surrounded Xu Lian and Xiao Xixi in an outflanking manner, as if they had treated Yuanfu County as a forest and were hunting them.
"Boy, if you don't want to die, hand over your cultivation resources."
"Bring it here."...
Since he can speak human language, he is obviously a wolf spirit.
Not only these five black wolves were targeting Xu Lian and Xiao Xixi, there were also some people and monsters watching around.
Xu Lian reached out and pressed the hilt of the sword, without unsheathing it, he swung it out directly.
With a sharp whistle, the dazzling sword light tore through the air.
With a "puff", blood spurted out and the leader of the five black wolves' entire body split into two halves!
The other four black wolves were frightened and howled, then they tucked their tails between their legs and fled in panic.
Some of the people and monsters who were watching nearby quickly withdrew their gazes and stopped staring at Xu Lian and Xiao Xixi.
"Xu Lang, just look at whatever you want to look at. Just ignore what I said."
Xiao giggled playfully.
Xu Lian put the sword back into the saddle. With Ming Jin Jiu, he was still very capable in fighting. Except for the old monster, ordinary people and demons and monsters were no match to him.
Xiao Xixi looked at his long sword and asked, "Why has Xu Lang's long sword never been unsheathed?"
"Because, up to now, I have not met an opponent worthy of my sword."
"..."
Xiao Xixi giggled. Of course she was happy that her man was so strong.
Arrived at Lai Fu Inn.
Xu Lian asked for two rooms and paid twenty spirit stones. This price was comparable to the best spirit house on the first street in Pingyang County. If you think about it, you will understand that this inn is equivalent to the pure land of Yuanfu County, or the "safe zone". If you are seriously injured and escape to the inn, you can recuperate in peace and save your life, so it is so expensive.
Xiao Xixi knew that he had an appointment with Jiang Xianyu, so he stayed in a room alone.
Xu Lian stayed in a room and waited, intending to ask Jiang Xianyu if she knew about Yuanfu County's specialty, the night-blooming flower. Jiang Xianyu had been traveling between Pingyang County and Yuanfu County for more than three years, so she should know about it.
