Chapter 314: Return to the Four Elephant City

Although several of them had cultivated themselves, that small mountain village could not be reached by walking from Zhongzhou, and they crossed to the mountain village with the help of the teleportation array in a nearby small city. About a week passed, and Ling Yu finally took a few people to the idyllic village with the direction in his impression. It's just that the village that appeared in front of everyone was very different from what Ling Yu described, and even ...... The difference is very different!

"How could this be?!What the hell is going on?!" When Ling Yu saw the scene in front of him, his head "buzzed", his eyes turned black, and the qi and blood in his body surged, and he almost fell to the ground.

The mountain village in front of a few people was not as Ling Yu had described to everyone before, with curling smoke and green grass. At this time, all that appeared in the eyes of everyone was a ruined and dilapidated village, where there were no cattle, sheep and livestock, no chickens, ducks and birds, and it was difficult to even feel the breath of life. Several people stood outside the village and found the village dead silent, without any sound or any trace of biological activity.

"Xiao Yu, something is wrong! Look there!" Wu Dao stood at the entrance of the village and stared into the village for a moment, he shook his head, pointed forward with a solemn face, and whispered to Ling Yu.

At this time, not only Wu Dao, but everyone saw a trace of strangeness. Because it is almost autumn at this time, it stands to reason that it has passed the busy period of farming, and it is the time when the people kill pigs and sheep, and the family is happy and ready to welcome the New Year. However, when they looked up, not only did they not see anyone, but the walls of the houses in the village were covered in a layer of darkness, and it seemed that this place had experienced a catastrophe of fire.

"Oh no, something happened!" It was only at this time that Ling Yu finally came to his senses, he raised his head sharply and ran towards the village.

Seeing Ling Yu rushing towards the village with a solemn face, the others also smelled a hint of nervousness, and they followed closely behind, rushing towards this small village with less than a hundred households.

Ling Yu had made a qualitative leap in his body since he practiced the Holy Dragon Crossing Orphan Book that Dao Yi gave him. When everyone rushed to Ling Yu's side panting, they found that Ling Yu frowned, his fists clenched with a "rattle" sound, and his chest rose and fell violently because of anger. His eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at the scene in front of him motionless. It is like a male lion about to explode, brewing and accumulating indignation that cannot be expressed.

The three of them followed Ling Yu's gaze and looked forward, and when they saw the scene in front of them, Xiao Hei and Wu Dao also unconsciously clenched their fists, while Tang Jinxuan squatted on the ground and retched.

It turned out that the village was littered with countless corpses, and it seemed that they had been dead for a few days, and although the weather was getting cooler now, there was still a burst of the smell of rotting corpses rushing into the nostrils of several people. Dozens of corpse vultures were landing on the uneaten corpses and pecking at the remains of the dead people, occasionally raising their heads and looking at several people with cold blood and disdain, as if the uninvited guests had disturbed their eating. None of the houses in the village are intact, and most of the wooden beams have been burned off, leaving the whole village in ruins, leaving people with infinite desolation and desolation.

"Get out of here!" the anger that had been pent up in Ling Yu's heart for a long time finally exploded, he raised his head to the sky and roared, and slammed his fist at the corpse vulture. Dozens of corpse vultures were killed by Ling Yu's fist wind, blood splattered, and feathers flew.

Ling Yu's roar was like the roar of a ferocious beast, frightening Xuan Ling'er behind him. Xuan Ling'er saw Ling Yu's red eyes, rushed into Tang Jinxuan's arms with a "squeak", buried her little head under Tang Jinxuan's armpits, trembled her body, and didn't dare to look back. Tang Jinxuan retreated to the side with Xuan Ling'er in her arms, watching Ling Yu slaughter the corpse vulture with her iron and bloody wrists. She had only seen Ling Yu get angry twice, the first time was when Xuan Ling'er was seriously injured by the Bai family, and the other time was now. In her impression, although Ling Yu rarely gets angry on weekdays, every time he really gets angry, he is like a demon king of the world, which makes people fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Dozens of corpse vultures were slaughtered by Ling Yu in an instant, and then Ling Yu ignored the filth of the carrion on the corpse, and personally piled up the bones in one place and set them on fire. Then he walked down the village path to the old couple's house, and although he had guessed the outcome, he couldn't help but roar when he saw the old couple's grave being dug up. The dry wood and utensils in the courtyard were thrown in scattered places, and the tombstones in front of the graves of the two old men were cut off and planted diagonally on the ground. The old man's house was burned to ashes by the fire, and the mottled earthen walls had been blackened, revealing endless desolation.

Ling Yu found the bones of the two old men in the dry well in the small courtyard, reburied them in the grave, and set up a tombstone with his own hands, engraved the names of their two elders, and signed the payment to his unfilial nephew Ling Yu.

When he returned to the open space in the village, the two had already collected the ashes of the villagers. Ling Yu and Xiao Hei dug a grave in this clearing, put their ashes in a box, and buried them in the ground. Ling Yu took out two jars of good wine from the Ring of the Realm Spirit and placed them in front of the graves of the villagers and the old couple. Ling Yu's face was pale, and he stood in front of the grave to worship. He looked at the two new tombs, stunned, and said nothing. The slaughter of innocent villagers, the digging of graves, and the burning of villages are outrageous. There was no need to even guess, Ling Yu knew that this must have been done by the Zhong family. When they didn't find themselves, they brutally murdered the old couple who were kind enough to take them in. Later, they killed the dead soldiers of the Zhong family in anger, and because they had nowhere to vent their anger, they buried Zhong Muyang at the cost of the lives of the people in the entire village.

When Ling Yu looked up again, it was already dusk. The remnant sun is like blood, and the golden sunset fills the sky, dyeing the dilapidated village with a dazzling glow.

"Xiao Yu, let's go. I know that you blame yourself for the death of these kind people, but it's not all your fault, it's the Zhong family's brutes who have lost their conscience, and we can only avenge these innocent people if we become strong as soon as possible and eradicate the Zhong family. Wu Dao walked up to Ling Yu, pressed Ling Yu's shoulder heavily, and said in a deep voice.

Hearing Wu Dao's relief, Ling Yu shook his head, a flash of fire flashed in his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "These villagers died because of me, and I will avenge their revenge, but not in the future, but now!"

"Xiao Yu, you must not be impulsive, with your current cultivation, you can't uproot the behemoth of the Zhong family at all, we all want to avenge these villagers, but we can't be rash!" Hearing Ling Yu's words, Xiao Hei also stepped forward and said seriously. Sixiang City is the first big city leading to Zhongzhou in the Northern Regions, Zhong Zifan has been able to lead Sixiang City for many years, and its cultivation must be unfathomable, and their current going is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

"Don't worry, I'm not carried away by hatred, I know it's not a wise choice to fight the Zhong family now, but we can get some interest back!" Ling Yu's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice.

"You...... What should I do?" Xiao Hei looked at Wu Dao, turned his head and asked Ling Yu. He knew Ling Yu's character, and he would never do something he was not sure of, and he must have his own way when he said this.

"Let's go to Sixiang City tonight and find out the executioner who killed these people!" Then Ling Yu looked at the sky and continued: "Tomorrow, the first day of the new year, the sky is cold and the moon is lost, it is suitable for killing!"

After Ling Yu finished speaking, he walked straight towards the outside of the village. At this time, he blamed himself in his heart, among the nearly 100 villagers who died, there were old people in their old age, and children of drooping hair, they had nothing to do with him, and they had never even seen themselves, but because they had annoyed the Zhong family, they were affected and died innocently. Although all this was not what Ling Yu wanted, it had happened, and Ling Yu was mainly responsible.

The three of them knew that Ling Yu was in a very bad mood, so they didn't say much, just quietly followed behind him and galloped away in the direction of the Four Elephant City. The tragedy of corpses all over the field just now was unfolded in front of several people, and even they couldn't bear it, not to mention the person concerned, Ling Yu. Several people knew Ling Yu's character very well, and it was difficult for outsiders to change what he decided, but since Ling Yu was determined to take revenge, he must have already been familiar with the plan.

This place is about five hundred miles away from Sixiang City, although this distance is extremely far for people in the world, but Ling Yu and several people have cultivated in their bodies, and there are many teleportation arrays along the way, and it is very fast to cross the void with teleportation arrays. Ling Yu took Xiao Hei and the three of them with the help of three teleportation arrays, and finally arrived at the Four Elephant City when night fell. However, as soon as a few people walked out of the teleportation array, they were blocked by someone.

Stopping a few people were two soldiers dressed in the official uniforms of Sixiang City, holding the portraits of Ling Yu and the three of them in their hands, and checking the passers-by one one by one. However, Ling Yu and the others had already put on makeup, and with these few lowly cultivators, they couldn't recognize them at all. After a perfunctory inspection by two cultivators, the four of them were let through. And just when Ling Yu was about to leave, a conversation between the two caught his attention.

"Alas, you said that these two city lords are too, obviously knowing that kid is going to return to the Northern Regions through the teleportation array, why didn't he kill him in Zhongzhou to avenge the young master, but let us intercept him here!"

"Oh, forget it, let's say a few words. Although the Second City Lord is serving in the Shenwu Academy, I heard that many people there are protecting that kid, and the Second City Lord has no chance to do it!"

"But let's check here, when will we wait? If this kid doesn't leave here, then aren't we working in vain? And I heard that his cultivation is profound, with our cultivation, even if we find him, we can't help him!"

"You be quiet, even if we can't catch him, we can stabilize him first, and then report to the big city lord." Don't forget, we killed all the people in that village at the beginning, and if this matter was known by that kid, we would not end well! Therefore, we must capture him before he knows about it, as long as the big city lord kills him, we don't have to live in such fear!"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Ling Yu's eyes flashed, and he unconsciously clenched his fists. I was about to track down the murderers of the people in that village, but I didn't expect them to take the initiative to expose their identities to me. And listening to the meaning of the two of them, it seems that Zhong Ziming secretly told Zhong Zifan that he would return to the Northern Regions, so they surrounded themselves here.

"Hey, what are you two doing? It's a shift change, you guys go back, we'll be on the night shift tonight. At this moment, two more people suddenly came from a distance, and they waved their hands at the two people who had just spoken and shouted loudly.

"His grandmother's, why did you two boys come? Did you go to Chunfeng Garden for recreation again?" Seeing the two people who came to change shifts, one of the soldiers scolded and said.

"Okay, don't complain, you two are on the day shift, how can you stand here all night, if you don't find someone to be chic!" said the two new soldiers with a lewd smile.

"Alright, stay here. Remember, don't let that kid get past you, and if you find him, report it to the lord of the city at once!" said the soldier who had been stationed here.

"Got it, got it, let's go quickly, like a girl, don't bother!" said the new soldier impatiently as he waved his hand at the two who were about to leave.

"Xiao Hei, the three of you take Ling'er to the restaurant where we had dinner last time and wait for me, I'll do something and I'll look for you later. Ling Yu looked at the backs of the two soldiers and whispered to the three of them.

"Can you do it yourself, why don't I go with you?" Wu Dao guessed Ling Yu's thoughts and said with concern.

"Don't worry, with the cultivation of the two of them, they can't help me. Besides, I'm just going to find out the news today, not to kill people, it's easy to be exposed when there are too many people!" Ling Yu shook his head and said.

"Alright then, be careful all the way, we'll be waiting for you in that restaurant. Hearing Ling Yu's words, Wu Dao nodded and whispered.

After finishing speaking, Wu Dao and the three of them walked towards the city with Xuan Ling'er, who had turned into a spirit beast. Ling Yu also looked at the two soldiers who were about to disappear from sight, a grim smile rose on the corner of his mouth, and followed......
