The lobby of the General's Mansion in the north of the town.

King Subei, who had long heard that Su Sanyuan had returned, had been sitting in the lobby waiting.

But when Su Sanyuan came to the lobby, his eyes were immediately locked on Cao Chuan, who came to the lobby with him.

Just such a move has already let Su Sanyuan know that the high and low competition between himself and Cao Chuan has already divided the results of the victory and defeat, and the results are very obvious.

His Su Sanyuan's talent is indeed inferior to Cao Chuan.

But what Su Sanyuan really cared about was not these.

After taking Cao Chuan and his father to get to know each other, Su Sanyuan immediately began to discuss things about demons and ghosts, and told his father about his and Cao Chuan's guesses and discoveries.

And after learning that there was a high probability that the mastermind behind the control of the demons and ghosts appearing in various dimensional spaces was hiding somewhere in the Upper Yuan Realm, the King of Northern Su immediately decided to let his forces go to various places in the Upper Metaverse to carry out a carpet search, at least to ensure that the mastermind behind the scenes was not in the territory of the Tian Yuan Dynasty.

At the same time, he also agreed to Su Sanyuan's plan to leave the Tianyuan Dynasty and go to various places in the Upper Yuan Realm to conduct secret investigations.

Of course, Cao Chuan, who was brought to the Upper Metaverse to investigate this matter together, also accompanied him, ready to investigate the secret behind this matter with Su Sanyuan.

That's it.

Wait until early the next morning.

Cao Chuan and Su Sanyuan left the Zhenbei General's Mansion separately.

After yesterday's day of discussion, in the end, Cao Chuan and Su Sanyuan still felt that the two should act separately, but they each carried a jade plate to communicate with each other.

This jade plaque allows the two to sense each other's spiritual aura no matter how far apart they are, and use this to track each other's approximate location.

In this way, even if one of them is in danger, he or she can contact the other party in an instant and ask for help.

What's more important is that the two can use this to exchange clues with each other.

In this way, Cao Chuan and Su Sanyuan left the Zhenbei General's Mansion in different directions.

Among them, Su Sanyuan was preparing to leave the Tianyuan Dynasty as quickly as possible, and he was secretly followed and protected by the Su family's shadow guards.

Cao Chuan took Yu Qinglan, Wen Jinghao and Chu Ningxiang to the three daughters of the Tianyuan Dynasty to stay in the Tianyuan Dynasty for a while, and it was not too late to leave the Tianyuan Dynasty after understanding the various customs and unwritten rules of the Upper Yuan Realm.

··· ···

After leaving the Zhenbei General's Mansion, because it was a secret departure, no one would recognize the identities of Cao Chuan and his party when they walked on the road, nor were they interested in these four strangers they didn't know.

In order to understand the customs of the Shangyuan Realm first, Cao Chuan and his party immediately went to the most lively restaurant in the imperial city of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

Instead of sitting in a private room on the upper floor, the group found a window spot, ordered some signature dishes, and began to distract themselves.

If you want to know the general outline of an unfamiliar environment the most, it must be a restaurant and teahouse where people from all walks of life gather.

These places usually gather a large number of people from all over the world, these people have always traveled south and north to make a living, so they have traveled more places than ordinary people eat, so they have heard and seen a lot.

Although it may not be possible to tell the truth of what these people say, it is certain that some strange things are happening from their mouths.

Even in the Nether, the Spirit Realm, or even the Thousand Flowers Fairyland, if you want to know something that others don't know, this way is the most effective.

It turns out that Cao Chuan was right.

Not long after Cao Chuan and his party sat down, and before they had even taken a few sips of tea in the cup, they had already heard some voices of interest from the mixed sounds.

The voice was made by a middle-aged man with a beard who was sitting in the crowd and being urged by many people.

This guy has a beard, and at the same time, his slightly squinted eyes are always revealing a bit of murderous intent, coupled with the clothes on his body, he can recognize at a glance that this is a person who often walks around.

And in the mouths of such people, you can usually hear some very interesting news.

It's like now.

Seeing that everyone around him began to urge him to continue, the bearded man first picked up the cup and took a big sip, and then did not wipe off the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and directly opened his mouth and began to babble for a while.

Coupled with some words used to embellish, the crowd began to erupt in cheers on the spot.

But for Cao Chuan and his party, among all the things that the bearded man said, the most important thing was only related to a town called "Lotus City".

Because in the mouth of the bearded man, he had encountered a large number of demons and ghosts in the mountains and forests near Lotus City.

Although it is impossible to tell whether what he said is true or false in this situation, the so-called "rather kill the wrong person than let it go", so Cao Chuan will take it as true.

At the same time, he also took out a detailed map of the Upper Metaverse handed to him by Su Sanyuan before leaving the Zhenbei General's Mansion.

After a little observation, it can be found that the Lianhu City in the mouth of the bearded man is indeed not in the territory of the Tianyuan Dynasty, but a deserted town that has long been abandoned, and the town is not even inhabited, and now it is an ownerless city.

In this case, it is really difficult to verify what the bearded man said, because a city without an owner means that there will be no living people nearby, and no one can act as an eyewitness in the absence of living people.

There are no eyewitnesses, who can prove that what the bearded man said is true.

But Cao Chuan didn't rush to stand up and refute the bearded man, because no one stood up to question him after the bearded man said what he said just now, but there were a lot of people who felt that what the bearded man said was true, and they were also worried, for fear that they would meet those demons when they passed by Lotus City in the future.

Such a situation made Cao Chuan guess that the status of this bearded man in the hearts of everyone was definitely not low.

So he chose to continue listening, he wanted to know if the bearded man had ever encountered a similar situation.

However, until the bearded man finished speaking, he had even left the restaurant, and the crowd around him had dispersed, and Cao Chuan could not hear the second clue of something similar.

At this point, Cao Chuan also knew that there might be a large number of demons and ghosts in the vicinity of Lotus City.

It's just that such a piece of news is not worth it, so he immediately went to Lotus City to find out the truth.

So Cao Chuan planned to stay in the guest room of the restaurant for one night first, and wait until tomorrow to see the situation.

The next day.

Sure enough.

It really made Cao Chuan know more clues from the mouth of another person who has been running around all the year round.

And what the second spoke was more specific and more convincing.

In this person's account, he met a demon somewhere outside the Tian Yuan Dynasty, and also helped other monks to besiege and hunt the demon there, and even told the identity of those monks, and also showed the injuries he suffered while fighting the demon demon.

In this way, Cao Chuan is naturally more willing to believe what the second person said.

Because this person said that it was found that the location of the demon was not far from the sect where the monks who besieged and hunted the demon were located, this matter was possible.

Hearing this, Cao Chuan took Yu Qinglan, Wen Jinghao and Chu Ningxiang and the three daughters out of the restaurant and began to go to the place that the second person had heard of.

Upper Metaverse, Dingfeng Mountain.

A clan force in the east of the Tianyuan Dynasty, and at the same time, it is also a well-known second-rate force in the Upper Yuan Realm.

The cultivation realm of the sect master is in the Immortal Realm Six Heavens, and there are six elders under his command, and the cultivation realm is around the Immortal Realm Four Heavens.

The number of disciples is not large, and the most outstanding of them is now in the cultivation realm of the first heaven of the fairy realm.

After leaving the restaurant, they found out almost all the information about the second-rate force of Dingfeng Mountain, Cao Chuan and his party took the flying spirit boat rented in the imperial city of the Tianyuan Dynasty and rushed to the boundary where Dingfeng Mountain was located as quickly as possible.

The speed of the flying spirit boat is fast.

In just five days, he crossed most of the territory of the Tianyuan Dynasty and sent Cao Chuan and his party to the boundary where Dingfeng Mountain was located.

Not long after stepping off the flying spirit boat.

Cao Chuan and his entourage have already seen the location of Dingfeng Mountain.

However, the group did not go directly to Dingfeng Mountain, but first found an inn in a nearby town and stayed first.

Cao Chuan decided to inquire about the situation in the town before going to Dingfeng Mountain to investigate.

After all, if they meet a scammer, then they are not just going for nothing.

In order to ensure that the news they got was true, Cao Chuan and his party patiently stayed at the town inn.

And it was at dusk that day.

As more and more people came to the inn to eat and drink, more and more people settled down to rest, and Cao Chuan heard more and more news about demons and ghosts.

One of the most striking is the description of the recent situation of Dingfeng Mountain.

From the stories of the guests in the inn, it can be learned that the recent days of Dingfeng Mountain are not easy.

And the real reason why Dingfeng Mountain's life is getting more and more sad is that there are disciples of Dingfeng Mountain who disappear near Dingfeng Mountain for no reason.

Today, according to incomplete statistics, at least ten disciples of Dingfeng Mountain have suddenly disappeared while practicing outside.

What's more.

After the Sect Master of Dingfeng Mountain learned about this matter, he had personally explored the vicinity, but unexpectedly, even he failed to find the traces of those disciples who had disappeared.

So after a long time, not only the interior of Dingfeng Mountain was in danger, but the residents of nearby towns began to flee to other places.
