“Is this South Valley City?”
Hovering above South Valley City, Zhang Danyang looked at the deserted city with some amazement in his eyes.
There were no traces of fighting, and no other unusual signs. The entire South Valley City, with its hundreds of thousands of residents, had vanished into thin air, which was truly bizarre.
With a flash of his figure, he appeared on the street, looking at the neatly arranged goods in the shops on both sides of the street.
Afterward, he went to the City Lord’s Mansion.
As the stronghold of the strongest force in South Valley City, the City Lord’s Mansion was also empty, with no signs of any battle having taken place.
When the Profound Darkness Sect Leader had requested him to investigate the matter, he had mentioned that there was an early Rune Seed Realm cultivator and several dozen Gold Body Realm martial artists stationed here.
Even if there were invaders, there should be some traces left behind.
But now, not only was there not a single living person in the huge South Valley City, but there was also not a single creature in sight.
Zhang Danyang knew that even if he acted personally, he couldn’t erase the traces so cleanly.
“Celestial Master Zhang, have you found anything yet?”
Another Golden Core Realm True Master appeared, who was the Great Elder of the Profound Darkness Sect, Chang Fei, who accompanied Zhang Danyang to investigate the cause.
Zhang Danyang shook his head slightly, “The other party was very cautious and didn’t leave any traces. It’s a bit different from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect’s way of doing things.”
Hearing this, Chang Fei furrowed his brows, “If it’s not the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, then which power would have the guts and strength to do this?”
“Let’s investigate further. If we still can’t find any traces, we’ll go to the Ten Thousand Demons Sect for information.”
“Alright.”
Chang Fei nodded. The reason for Zhang Danyang’s involvement was to negotiate with the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.
Normally, if such an incident occurred, the Profound Darkness Sect wouldn’t hesitate to go to war with the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.
However, at this time, the Profound Darkness Sect was fully engaged in battling the Demon Suppression Army. If the Ten Thousand Demons Sect intervened, the Profound Darkness Sect would be caught in a pincer attack.
Right now, dealing with the Demon Suppression Army was the main priority, so it was worth having the Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master mediate.
Honestly speaking, Chang Fei and the entire Profound Darkness Sect believed that the incident was related to the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.
“Elder Chang, which city is nearest to South Valley City?”
Chang Fei pondered for a moment before saying, “Celestial Master Zhang, please follow me.”
Immediately, the two broke the air and disappeared above South Valley City.
“Hehe, I’ve reached the peak of the Rune Seed Realm.”
Han Feng spoke indifferently, seemingly satisfied with his current progress.
To break through from the peak of the Rune Seed Realm to the Golden Core Realm, one needed to use the Rune Seed as the core, rely on the laws as the carrier, and refine the Golden Core.
At this moment, Han Feng was only a hair’s breadth away from the limit of the Rune Seed Realm.
According to his estimates, he would be able to advance as long as he had two hundred thousand souls.
By then, as long as he stabilized his cultivation slightly and forcibly plundered one million more souls, he could return to the Golden Core Realm in one step.
These souls could be any intelligent beings, whether they were Demon Beasts, Sea Clan, or Human Race.
Of course, the Human Race was the weakest and most suitable target for him to attack.
“Hahaha, I’m getting closer and closer to the Golden Core Realm. When the time comes, I’ll find that little kid and make him my nourishment.”
“Hehe, I am a demon, the supreme demon. You will all merge with me obediently!”
Suddenly, such a brazen voice resounded above Ridgin City, echoing in everyone’s ears.
” Which wretch dares to act recklessly in my territory? You’re courting death!”
A cold and domineering voice sounded, and then a powerful Rune Seed Realm cultivator flew out from the City Lord’s Mansion in Ridgin City.
“Boom!”
A surge of Rune power suddenly rippled out and transformed into a giant palm that grabbed at Han Feng.
Whoosh.
Just as the giant palm was about to fall, Han Feng disappeared from his original position as if he had never been there.
The Rune Seed Realm cultivator was slightly taken aback, and after searching around, he found no traces of anyone.
“Did he escape?”
“Hehe, are you looking for me?”
Suddenly, a demonic voice came from behind the Rune Seed Realm powerhouse, immediately sending chills down his spine.
He slowly turned around and saw Han Feng with a mocking smile on his face.
Immediately after, the focus in his pupils gradually enlarged, and his body fell into a state of stagnation.
” Let’ s start with you!”
Very soon, this Rune Seed Realm powerhouse was engulfed by darkness…
In the City Lord’s Mansion, on the martial arts training ground.
“Elder Lin, he…” A Gold Body Realm martial artist’s face was filled with terror as his body trembled uncontrollably.
He couldn’t believe his eyes. Elder Lin, as strong as he was, didn’t last a single round in the hands of the black-robed powerhouse before being completely subdued.
What terrified him the most was Elder Lin, an early-stage Rune Seed Realm cultivator, gradually disappearing.
Witnessing all this, he felt as if he had fallen into an abyss of icy darkness, with boundless fear and despair growing and spreading deep inside his soul.
“What kind of power is that?!”
“Brother Huang, what’s wrong?” Another Gold Body Realm martial artist pushed him lightly and asked with confusion.
“Alt…” After waking up, he looked at the sky again, but there were no traces left, only a clear blue sky.
However, he was sure that what he saw earlier wasn’t false, so he anxiously said, “Run! Escape Ridgin City immediately and get as far away as possible.”
Without waiting for a response from the other, he fled towards the City Lord’s Mansion’s exit.
Fearing that he would attract the attention of the other party, he didn’t dare to fly, but instead, he merged into the stream of people on the streets and hurried towards the city’s exit.
“Truly inexplicable,” the Gold Body Realm martial artist murmured before disregarding the incident and carrying on with his own tasks.
