Chapter Seventy-Eight: Night

After Du Yunxi and the others entered Shacheng, it didn't take long for them to meet Bian Tingyu.

Next, Bian Tingyu and they continued.

When they came in, they were surrounded by the city, and there was no sound, Bian Tingyu and Wen Zhao felt very weird, and Wen Zhao proposed to find a hidden place to hide and take a look at the surrounding situation.

After that, they didn't see any living people, nor did they see other monks, and when they thought of monks, Bian Tingyu suddenly couldn't feel their spiritual power.

It was at this time that the two of them found that they had lost their spiritual power, and the situation at this time was very bad for the two of them, and the surroundings became more dangerous, so the two made up their minds and hid in a more remote and hidden place.

It didn't take long for Bian Tingyu to see a shocking scene, she saw the fire burning people eating people, at that moment, she was so shocked that she almost made a movement, but fortunately, Wen Qian covered her mouth in time.

They hid all the way until they met Du Yunxi.

In this way, Song Shiyin and they got the most news, and after understanding the situation on both sides, Song Shiyin and Zhuo Guang also talked about their experiences after entering the secret realm.

After Song Shiyin finished speaking, the scene was silent for a moment, and everyone's face looked like they were thinking.

You Wen Xuan opened his mouth first: "What does the burning of people have to do with the queen? If the queen was the first person the inhabitants saw burners, where did the rest come from?"

Du Yunxi also added: "Besides, according to the king, the conjoined baby girl born to the queen was the initiator of all incidents, but why did she never appear after that?"

"Since the conjoined baby girl is a hoodoo, what did she bring with her? Is it the wind and sand or is it these fires that burn people?"

"If the queen hadn't given birth to a conjoined baby girl by chance, but had given birth to a normal child, would the disaster in Sand City still occur? And on what grounds would they explain all this?"

Du Yunxi asked several questions in a row, but no one could answer them.

The atmosphere grew more and more serious, and everyone in the team frowned and fell into deep thought.

Yu Chi Mu Yi smiled, and he recalled everyone's thoughts: "We should still figure out how to leave the secret realm first, and finding clues in this regard is the top priority."

Wen Yu nodded, and he said, "Brother Wei Chi is right, at present, all disasters point to one result, Shacheng will destroy the country, so will the breakthrough of the secret realm be here?"

Bian Tingyu also agreed with this statement, and he echoed: "What Senior Brother Wen said makes sense, we still have to find people to burn first."

This statement was opposed by Du Yunxi, who said, "We can't go to the fire to burn people."

"Why?"

"Let's not talk about whether we can find it, let's just talk about their strange resurrection ability, if one of us is not careful, we are likely to put ourselves in it, and besides, even if we really find the gathering place of the burning people, it will be even more sheep's mouth." Du Yunxi said while shaking his head.

"So what do we do now?" Bian Tingyu asked.

"The burning of people is only one of the clues, and there is also one person throughout the whole incident, throughout." Du Yunxi said in a deep voice.

"It's the king!" Bian Tingyu blurted out.

"Yes, it's hard to find a burner, but the king is in the palace." Wen Yu also spoke.

The source of it all pointed to the palace, so they decided to walk towards the palace while seeing if they could meet the rest of the team.

As before, they could only walk in the direction of the palace, left and right through the streets.

When walking around a corner, Song Shiyin saw three monks not far away, they were dressed ordinarily, presumably casual cultivators.

The secret realm is a fighting ground and a place of contention, and they are not in a cooperative relationship with other monks, but they need to fight to the death to compete for genius treasures.

The reaction of the three monks was a good confirmation of this, and they took two steps back, leaning their backs against the wall, and then looked at the group warily.

In terms of numbers, there were six people in the squad, and there were only three of them, which was nothing more than why they were so nervous.

But the members of the team are not irritable monks who have nothing to do, and besides, there are no genius treasures to fight for here.

Song Shiyin retracted his gaze after a quick glance, and the others did the same, and everyone passed by the three groomed people and continued to walk in the direction of the palace.

The two sides were staggered.

Everyone walked for about an hour before they reached the vicinity of the palace, looking at the mountain and running dead horses, the sand city did not look big, and the palace also gave people the illusion that it was close at hand.

In fact, the streets are intricate, narrow and slender, and it takes a lot of time.

The palace was also made of sand, but it was very different from the houses where the other people lived, and in the sun, the palace emitted a golden light, which looked magnificent and magnificent.

The palace was not easy to enter, and the guards had surrounded the whole palace with water so that not a single fly could be put in.

Not only that, there were also a lot of guards patrolling around, and Song Shiyin and they were hiding left and right, barely avoiding the guards' field of vision.

They have no spiritual power, they are just ordinary people at this time, and there is no way to fly the eaves and walk on the wall, and there is no way to break through.

Everyone realized this, and the large army walked back, a little further away from the palace, out of the range of the guards.

They stopped in a more secluded place.

"Shall we enter this palace?" Bian Tingyu asked.

"I have a magic weapon here that can hide the form of a human body, but I don't know if it can be used in this secret realm." Yu Chi Mu Yi said.

"Then let's try it!" Bian Tingyu's eyes lit up and urged.

"But this artifact has a time limit and cannot be used permanently, it can only hide its form for an hour, and then it will be destroyed, so we must ensure that we enter and exit the palace within the validity period." Yu Chi Muyi added.

"An hour is enough, how many of these artifacts do you have?" Du Yunxi asked.

"Only one."

"Then we will have to choose only one person to enter the palace." Bian Tingyu's gaze swept over the team one by one.

"No, no." Song Shiyin thought for a moment and shook his head.

"How?"

Everyone's eyes looked like Song Shiyin.

"What is the purpose of our entry into the palace? If it is for the sake of dialogue with the king, then in what capacity should we be? Or what questions are we going to ask him to get closer to our purpose?"

"If we're just trying to see if there's anything unusual in the king, it's not worth wasting this opportunity."

"We don't have clear evidence that the king is problematic right now, and to do so is nothing more than a gamble on a probability." Song Shiyin said her own thoughts sentence by sentence.

Zhuo Guang nodded, and he said, "You can't use spiritual power in the secret realm, and the magic weapon in the storage bag is our only hole card, so we must be cautious every time we use it."

All this is at an impasse again, and the burning side cannot go, and the palace side will not work.

"Then we can't just wait." Bian Tingyu shrugged the corners of her eyes, a little deflated.

"In this case, let's first explore the entire Sand City, and by the way, see how many people are burned and how many people are still alive? It would be great if they could meet Sun Yao." Du Yunxi proposed.

So the team's goal changed again, and they started from where they were, all the way to the right.

Most of the doors of the houses in Shacheng were closed and open, and the smell of blood was permeating.

Along the way, they encountered several burners, but they all looked the same and were roughly the same size, and they couldn't tell how many burners were wandering around the city.

In addition, they found that apart from a few of them, they had only met about ten monks in total, and had not seen the rest of the group.

The city was searched but not found

What a new lead.

"Let's take a look out of the city." Du Yunxi spoke again.

Then they went out of the city, and the desert was empty, and they followed the direction the inhabitants had told them all the way to the oasis.

After walking for about fifty miles, they saw a green place, and unlike the residents, there were no cattle or sheep in the oasis at this time.

All that was the blood-stained grass and the remnants of corpses on the ground.

There is a piece of cultivated land next to it, and there are some plants growing in it, which must be the vegetables that the residents eat on a daily basis.

After some discussion, the team decided to bring some food back to the residents, although they had no spiritual power, they were still monks and did not need to eat.

Everyone squatted down and dug the vegetables with their hands, and there was silence around them, revealing a strange atmosphere.

"Did this burning man really come out of the desert? Why didn't we see any of them?" Bian Tingyu wondered while digging the soil.

"Just deeper in the desert." Song Shiyin replied casually.

Bian Tingyu was thoughtful, and finally looked up at everyone, "So we're going to look for it?"

This sentence stopped everyone.

It stands to reason that they should go to the depths of the desert to find out the secret of the burning people, but the desert is huge, and if they get lost in the desert, wouldn't it be worth the loss?

"To be on the safe side, let's keep our eyes on the city for now." Wen Yu said.

"Along the way, we didn't see Sun Yao and them, and there were only a dozen monks we met, according to past experience, it is very likely that we will teleport in batches this time."

"Some people are in another illusion, and here we are, we just don't know if our illusions are the same or different, and in short, the only direction we have now is to figure out what this secret realm wants us to do?"

"Speaking of which, there are still no more clues." Bian Tingyu sat on the ground with her butt and looked up at the sky.

"Let's bring the food back first, so we have a chance to reach out to the people of the city and see if they have any new ideas?"

"There is also a hidden clue, which is time, will day and night be different? Will today be different from tomorrow? We can all wait and see." Du Yunxi said.

"This is indeed a breakthrough, and I will mention one more point, since the threat of the inhabitants is to burn people, then we might as well join hands to wipe out the burners, and if they can really be resurrected indefinitely, we will drive them out of the city and close the city gates." Yu Chi Muyi was stunned word by word.

That's right, in short, you can't wait, let's act first, after Du Yunxi finished speaking, he lowered his head and quickly dug the vegetables on the ground.

After the team dealt with the matter here, they walked all the way in the direction of the city.

As the sun sets, the sky is red with fire, and the golden sunlight shines on the desert.

On the way back, there were indeed no other monks, and there was no trace of burning people, so it seems that only a few of them exist in this secret realm.

After entering the city, the sky has become dark, the city is silent, the streets are empty, and the temperature drops, bringing a trace of coldness.

They walked round and round the city, and they didn't see anyone burning.

"Is it a coincidence?" Bian Tingyu asked.

"Maybe it's because the people in the city are closed, and the burners leave when they can't break through, or maybe the burners outside the city call for their companions, or maybe it's the reason I just said, day is different from night." Du Yunxi looked at the empty streets and said in a deep voice.

At this moment, there was movement on their right, and everyone in the team was startled, and pulled their companions to the hidden place together.
