Ye Mingyuan and Carl didn't feel the slightest relaxation because of the lucky escape just now, the two of them, especially Carl, knew very well in their hearts that relying on the Flame Empire's always acting style, there was only the most severe way to deal with traitors. And for the traitors who escaped by chance, even if it is the end of the earth, they must be hunted down and captured.

Therefore, Ye Mingyuan and Carl's footsteps did not stop for a moment, and ran directly towards the junction of the old and new cities of Valleyside City.

As an important town in the middle of the valley in the middle of the empire, the city of Tanihama has been expanding the direction of the city over the years. The continuous development of the city center means that the city must expand to the periphery, and the expansion area of Tanihama City, at this time, compared to the original center of the city, is sparsely populated and lush, and it is easy to find a place to hide in this night.

For Ye Mingyuan and Carl, they were lucky, the empire set up a train station in Gubin City, not far from the junction of the old and new in the city.

With the last lights of the entire city junction extinguished, Carl and Ye Mingyuan finally stopped running and arrived at the junction of the old and new cities of Imperial Valley City.

Karl ...... I feel...... We should ...... It's safe. With the sound of panting because of the escape, Ye Mingyuan finally didn't see the imperial army behind him, he and Carl were here, and finally felt a little safe.

"I don't think they'll be chasing after me for a while, but it's the Imperial curfew now, and we can only act until dawn. With that, Karl looked around and pulled Ye Mingyuan into a half-human-tall grass, where it was much better to hide quietly than to be exposed to the edge of the city.

At this time, as the lights of the city junction are extinguished, the lights of the new and old towns are gradually extinguished. Except for the area of the Empire's main transportation artery, the city of Tanihama is already dark at the moment, and the darkness brings silence.

Since the founding of the Flame Empire 500 years ago, the system of curfews has been established with the establishment of the empire. From dusk, the main cities of the empire must be turned off until midnight, and all cities must be kept under the control of darkness and silence, except for some of the empire's troops.

The silence and night gradually surrounded Gubin City, as well as Ye Mingyuan and Carl, at this time, they did not feel fear and uneasiness because of this darkness, on the contrary, the night gave them safety and calm.

Seeing that the surroundings had completely quieted down, Ye Mingyuan finally decided to ask Carl the question he had wanted to ask during the battle just now.

"Carl, what was the reason why you were reluctant to use the magic source power in the battle just now?"

"Do you know what the Demon Source Force is?" Karl seemed to know what Ye Mingyuan was going to ask, and answered directly but not from the front, but asked rhetorically.

"Demonic source power is the magic we can use, what else can he be?" Ye Mingyuan replied very simply, and the answer was also very common, but obviously, this was not the answer that Carl was going to give.

"Yes, the power of the magic source is magic, the power given to us by the depths of the ancient universe. However, at the deepest level, we humans do not use all the magic source power, and it is difficult to use all the magic source power, and the magic source power in my hand is one of the difficult things for us humans to use. Carl knew that it was difficult for Ye Mingyuan to understand this, and he could imagine Ye Mingyuan's puzzled expression in this darkness, but he knew that in this situation, he had to explain it clearly to Ye Mingyuan. For someone of Ye Mingyuan's ability, the sooner he understands it, it will be beneficial to him and the empire.

"The demonic source power is divided into five categories in the continent, and our Fire Empire is used to calling them the five types of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. But this is only the most basic magic source force in the early stage of the formation of the continent. And above that, or rather, deeper than these five, are the two kinds of demonic source powers, light and dark. From ancient times to the present, every major war and every major chaos has been caused by the imbalance of the deep demonic power of the two continents, light and dark. And the Demon Source Masters who possess these two powers, from the moment they discover this power, their fate has been determined by this balance. And the two magic source powers, light and dark, once used, will cause the adjustment of the continent's light and dark powers. At a moment like this, I can't tell for sure what will happen if I use my magical power. Therefore, I can only hope to rely on your strength, and whether it is here or in the imperial capital, I can only rely on your strength along the way. Carl said everything he wanted to say in one breath, but for Ye Mingyuan, he seemed to understand a little, but he didn't seem to understand, in this darkness, the only thing that could express this emotion was a long silence, silence, maybe the last resort to answer all questions.

Seeing that Ye Mingyuan didn't say anything again, Carl also fell silent in the darkness. The night in the valley is very quiet, even in such a hot moment, here, there is no sound around, perhaps, far away, it is silent at the moment.

Carl and Ye Mingyuan both knew in their hearts that they could only wait here quietly, waiting for the dawn to come. When dawn comes, the curfew of the Empire will end, and they will have the opportunity to escape completely and reroute into the imperial capital by fleeing to the outskirts of the city. It has become impossible to meet Yegu here.

Finally, the long night came to an end, and after the darkest minutes had passed, the night sky began to glow with a glimmer of light, and gradually the light tore open the night sky, and the darkness around it began to fade.

"Carl, we can go, the curfew should be over by this time, it's our chance. With that, he picked up Carl and prepared to run in the direction of the suburbs.

But at this time, as the darkness gradually receded, a figure in front of them became clearer and clearer, and finally, in the middle of the night, his face leaked.

"Where do you want to go? Traitors to the Empire, no matter where they go to the Empire, they can't take refuge. A deep voice came from the faces in front of them, and Ye Mingyuan and Carl realized that their front may have been full of danger for a long time.

"Carl, let's go!" Seeing such danger, Ye Mingyuan couldn't think too much, pulled out the sword in his hand, and rushed towards the person in front of him, at the moment of rushing up, Ye Mingyuan used the magic source power of the flames in his body, and soon, a sword with flames, along with Ye Mingyuan's arm, stabbed towards the enemy in front of him.

The person in front of him didn't seem to have the intention of dodging, and even under Ye Mingyuan's attack, he didn't move his body at all. He watched Ye Mingyuan's sword attack straight towards his chest.

"Bang!" After the sound of metal colliding, Karl, who was about to escape on the side, saw that the place where Ye Mingyuan and that person were fighting emitted a burst of thick smoke, and the smoke completely enveloped the two people.
