Chapter 519: Chapter 280: Dragon Lake City, Dugu Shanxuan
The news of the extermination of the Yang family of Plate City overnight spread quickly throughout the Four Direction Prefecture, causing unrest among the people.
Gu Shunzhang immediately dispatched the commander of the Qilin Army to investigate, but it came up empty-handed.
The only discovery was that nearly a thousand people of the Yang family had died in their dreams, with the exception of the family head, Yang Qianyuan. Moreover, there were no signs of fighting at the scene, nor was it clear who or what kind of power was behind this.
However, one thing was certain: there were still many hidden dangers in the Four Direction Prefecture.
Half a month later, Lu Yun finally left seclusion.
At this moment, his cultivation had astonishingly reached the Perfection of the Rune Seed Realm, and the Law Aura surrounding him became even stronger, with a faint Dao Rhyme in his movements.
It happened that the Four Direction Martial Academy was holding disciple recruitment exams, and Master Changshan and his two disciples were busy.
Lu Yun did not disturb them and left the Four Direction Martial Academy alone. At this time, the internal and external threats in the Four Direction Prefecture had been resolved, Bai ChangFeng and the Demon Suppression Army had already left, returning to Sky Pool City.
As for Lu Yun, he planned to undergo his final tempering in the nearby sea area.
Two days later, outside Plate City,
Lu Yun frowned slightly, as he heard some rumors along the way.
The nearly thousand members of the Yang family of Plate City had died in some strange way.
“Woof woof.” A black dog barked softly, looking at Lu Yun with rolling eyes, extremely on guard.
Lu Yun gently touched the black dog, and a ball of light entered its body. The dog immediately became well-behaved, lying on the ground and wagging its tail gently.
Entering the Yang residence, Lu Yun slowly closed his eyes, his senses of hearing and smell instantly increased several times.
A gentle breeze brushed by, bringing with it the faint scent of blood.
Besides that, there was also a faint fragrance.
This fragrance was extremely faint, almost imperceptible.
Lu Yun opened his eyes, and a hint of disappointment flashed across his face. “This kind of method isn’t something ordinary people can handle. Is it the remnants of the Red Cloud Demon Sect or someone from other sects?”
Lu Yun shook his head slightly and waved his hand. A rune flew out, drawing on a large amount of laws and fell upon the corpses in the courtyard.
Immediately afterward, he turned and left.
Following that, the golden light on the corpses lying on the ground flickered and slowly dissipated.
As the corpses disappeared, the lingering evil Qi and bloody smell in the air gradually faded away.
Arriving at the entrance of the courtyard, the well-behaved black dog was still lying on the ground. Upon seeing Lu Yun approaching, its tail, which had a tuft of white fur, began to waggle.
“You seem to know something?”
Lu Yun walked over slowly, picked up the black dog from the ground, gently stroked its soft ears, and a faint golden glow emanated, soon covering the black dog completely.
Suddenly, a mental thought rushed into the Sea of Consciousness.
It was a blurry scene: a bustling street, where a sinister young man suddenly appeared in front of the Yang residence.
The martial artist guarding the entrance seemed completely unaware of the young man’s arrival, allowing him to enter the Yang residence unobstructed. Soon, an imperceptible glow emerged, causing the martial artists to freeze in place, then smile and slowly fall to the ground.
At this point, the scene stopped.
However, Lu Yun noticed that the young man had glanced in this direction.
No, he had glanced at this little black dog.
For some reason, he did not harm the dog.
“This person is using illusions or spiritual power to kill. It’s hard to gauge his strength, but considering the size of Plate City, he only killed the Yang family and none of the other citizens. He didn’t even harm a dog, so it’s very likely that he was seeking revenge.
Seeking revenge is justified, and I don’t seem to have an excuse to intervene.” Shaking his head slightly, Lu Yun disappeared into the streets.
The little black dog, holding a hundred-year-old spirit herb in its mouth, waggled its tail non-stop as it watched the figure gradually disappearing from the street.
“Little Black, how did you get to this place again? You made me look for you for so long.”
Accompanied by a light, agile voice, a little girl in an apricot-yellow skirt ran over and picked up the little black dog in her arms.
“Huh? Isn’t this Enlightenment Grass?”
The little girl looked at the half-eaten spirit herb in the black dog’s mouth, then hesitated, her eyes turning to the Yang family’s courtyard inside the gate. She hurriedly took the little black dog and left.
Half a month later, outside a huge city in the Scarlet Moon Demon Domain, Everywhere you looked, there were endless city walls and crisscrossing rivers. This place used to be a very glorious huge city in the Scarlet Moon Demon Domain, with a population and prosperity level enough to rank in the top ten. At this moment, there was no sign of life, making this huge city look desolate. As the setting sun stretched shadows long, Lu Yun stepped towards the huge city.
He crossed the moat and came directly under the magnificent city gate. He looked up, and saw several large characters written in a dragon and phoenix script on the gate.
“Dragon Lake City.”
Dragon Lake City was an independent city, equivalent to a sect on its own.
It was said that the City Lord of Dragon Lake City was a powerful Golden Core Realm cultivator, which allowed him to occupy the city alone.
However, several months ago, just when the Morigin Demon Suppression Army invaded the Scarlet Moon Demon Domain, Dragon Lake City was suddenly attacked by an unknown force. The city’s millions of inhabitants disappeared without a trace, and even the Golden Core Realm City Lord of Dragon Lake City did not survive.
This was a very strange incident. Some powerful individuals from the Demon Suppression Army had come to investigate, but they never returned..
