Chapter 87 The Aged Cultivator
Yun Qingyi and the others remained silent, watching as they had someone help the city lord down.
"Can we talk about the Star Moon City now?" Yun Qingyi asked the Flying Star Sect cultivators in front of her, looking at the Star Moon City Lord who had completely disappeared.
"Of course, of course!"
"Please come in, seniors."
Several cultivators chuckled and bowed, gesturing to the group.
Yun Qingyi glanced at them, walked straight into the reception room, and sat down at the head of the table.
After the others were seated, Yun Qingyi glanced at the Flying Star Sect cultivators and said indifferently, "Tell me, we need more detailed information about what's going on in Star Moon City."
Upon hearing this, the other Flying Star Sect cultivators all looked at another, even older, cultivator, who was clearly the leader of these Flying Star Sect cultivators.
The old cultivator stood up and said to Yun Qingyi in a hoarse voice, "Let me tell the seniors about Star Moon City."
The Star Moon Capital has only recently come into view; before that, it was shrouded in a white mist. We sent people into the mist to investigate, but unfortunately, none of them returned.
At this point, the old cultivator's eyes dimmed somewhat.
He continued, "Later, our old sect leader refused to believe in superstitions, saying that he wanted to see the people alive or dead. Ignoring the advice of everyone in the sect, he went alone into the white mist and found the sect's clothing of those disciples."
The old sect leader brought back the clothes of the group. Although the sect members, numbering in the dozens, did not see the bodies, they all understood that their fellow disciples must have perished.
Finally, we unanimously decided to report this matter to the main sect, which was also the first time we reported information about providing assistance.
A few days later, the fog miraculously dissipated, and we gathered our sect members again and headed to Star Moon City, where we learned relevant information from the Star Moon City Lord.
After staying here for a few days, we found that, just as the Lord of Xingyue City had said, evil spirits would appear at night and devour infants. However, these evil spirits were too cunning. We tried to capture them several times, but we didn't even see a shadow of them.
Left with no other option, we submitted a second request for assistance to the main sect, containing the very intelligence that you seniors ultimately saw.
After listening, Yun Qingyi pondered for a moment and said to the old cultivator, "Your report stated that the City Lord of Xingyue City had successfully eliminated evil spirits?"
Upon hearing this, the old cultivator paused for a moment, then said, "That's indeed the case. This is what the City Lord of Star Moon City said himself. We don't really know if it's true or not."
"Let's put that aside for now and talk about how you knew we were in Xingyue City," Yun Qingyi said calmly.
It should be noted that the place where they disembarked from the flying boat was quite a distance from the Star Moon Capital. Later, when they were almost at the Star Moon Capital, they didn't even use their swords anymore.
However, not long after they entered the capital, the soldiers confirmed their identities without any hesitation.
This is unbelievable no matter how you look at it.
At this moment, Yun Qingrou and the others also stared intently at the old cultivator in front of them.
Clearly, they noticed this as well.
The old cultivator paused for a moment, then smiled at everyone and said, "Seniors, you may have misunderstood something. The reason we were able to quickly learn of your arrival is actually related to the special rules of the Godless Realm."
The aura emanating from these senior cultivators is distinctly different from that of us cultivators who have spent most of our time in the Godless Realm. With a little attention, one can easily pinpoint their location.
After listening, Yun Qingyi nodded, seemingly unsure whether to agree or disagree, and said nothing more.
"Then, is there any other useful information?" Yun Qingrou looked at Yun Qingyi and, seeing that she had no intention of speaking, asked the old cultivator.
The old cultivator gave a thoughtful smile and shook his head helplessly: "Please forgive us, seniors, we are incompetent and have not been able to find any other useful information."
Seeing this, several Flying Star Sect cultivators beside the old cultivator stood up and said with a smile, "Seniors, it's getting late. Why don't we take you to the side rooms first? You've come all the way from the Heavenly Phoenix Domain to our Godless Domain, so you must be tired from your journey."
We know that our predecessors care deeply about the people of Xingyue Capital, but a short rest would be beneficial for us to continue our investigation.
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi nodded, signaling them to lead the way.
Along the way, Yun Qingyi and the others remained silent, but after settling into a suitable place, they all gathered together.
After letting the last person into the room, Yun Qingyi closed the door and set up a protective barrier.
As soon as the barrier was set up, Leng Zhan couldn't wait to speak: "I think there's something very wrong with that Star Moon City Lord."
As soon as he finished speaking, the others rolled their eyes at him: Of course, anyone with eyes can see that something is wrong with him.
"I think those Flying Star Sect disciples are even more suspicious than the Star Moon City Lord," Ji Zhaoling said thoughtfully, narrowing his eyes.
“Actually, I also noticed something was wrong.” Ruan Qi raised his hand and said to everyone, “I’m naturally very perceptive of human nature, but do you know what? When I was observing the people on the street, I felt that they didn’t seem to be afraid of evil spirits.”
Logically speaking, with the entire capital city experiencing something like this, it's impossible that there wouldn't be some fear or panic.
After hearing this, the group fell into deep thought. Yun Qingyi had some guesses in her mind, but these guesses quickly turned into a jumble of thoughts. It seemed that she needed to find more useful key information.
Thinking this, she raised her eyes and looked at the group of people in front of her, saying, "Let's go and meet that evil spirit tonight. Doesn't it come out at night? Let's go and see what it is."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Just as the group was deciding which street to go to, there was a loud knocking at the door.
The group looked at each other, then suddenly realized what was happening.
No! They clearly set up a barrier; they should only be able to sense spiritual energy fluctuations. How did this knocking sound get in?!
