Chapter 394: A Mortal Town

Chen Guo, Nanyang City.

It is a city bordering the sea, the most developed fishing industry in Tran, and it is also a major economic lifeline of the country.

At the city gate, a large number of horse-drawn carriages enter and exit from time to time. The goods of the city will be transported to all parts of the country through these wagons.

At this moment, on the official road outside Nanyang City, three carriages were pulling goods, gradually approaching Nanyang City.

"Immortals, Nanyang City has arrived. A voice rang out in the carriage of one of the carriages.

It was a middle-aged man, his face was full of the marks left by the years, and his hands were also covered with calluses.

At this moment, he was looking respectfully at a young man in white in front of him.

Five days ago, he and his men traveled from Linmu to Nanyang to transport goods, and accidentally encountered a fierce beast in a dense forest. At that time, it was the profound immortal in front of him who rescued them.

The fierce beast was powerless to resist this immortal. The immortal just waved his hand slightly, and the beast lost its breath.

You must know that a fierce beast like that can only be dealt with by the Praetorian Guards of the Imperial Capital, and even if it is successfully resolved, it will suffer heavy casualties.

In contrast, isn't the method of the person in front of him the same as those legendary immortals?

"Hmm. The young man nodded slightly, then looked out the window, a flash of remembrance in his eyes.

The young man is Xu Yue, who dressed up in disguise after getting rid of the chasing soldiers.

This Nanyang City of the Chen Kingdom was his hometown, and he had been living in this place since he had not even embarked on the path of cultivation.

Going to the mundane world to hide was a method that he suddenly thought of some time ago.

The Southern Regions are huge, and each continent has a large number of mortal realms in addition to those gathering places for monks. Although the spiritual energy in the places where these mortal realms are located is thin, it is difficult to provide enough spiritual energy for monks to cultivate, but these ordinary places are a guarantee for the number of monks in the cultivation world.

In the cultivation world of the Southern Regions, almost eighty percent of the monks came out of the mundane world. Although most of the people have stopped at the first two realms, with the support of the huge number of people in the mundane world, there are still many people who can reach a higher realm and become the overlord of one side, and then open a sect to accept more monks from the mundane.

However, there is still a big difference between the mundane world and the cultivation world after all, so if it is not very necessary, monks will rarely show their faces in the mundane world. Just like myself, it was also a very coincidental circumstance that I learned about the existence of monks and the cultivation world.

This is an important guarantee for the smooth implementation of Xu Yue's plan.

In the process of escaping, ordinary monks will choose to go to a place with strong spiritual energy to recover, and the spiritual energy in the mortal world is thin and cannot support the consumption that occurs when fleeing. Moreover, attracting the aura of heaven and earth in such a place will become extremely conspicuous, and the slightest carelessness will be detected by nearby monks, causing trouble.

However, correspondingly, as long as the cultivation is well hidden in these places and does not easily use its own strength, it will be difficult to be discovered by the pursuers.

The energy of the pursuers is also limited, and it is impossible to release their divine sense to search the entire range of that place every time they encounter a mortal realm. If you do that, before you can find out the person, your divine sense will be the first to run out.

After a while, after being checked, the carriage he was in entered the city without any problems.

Although with his strength, he would not be discovered by anyone here if he quietly entered the city. However, this is also his hometown, and it always feels a little wrong to come back sneaking back like that.

"Don't mention my business to anyone. Xu Yue looked at the middle-aged man, and his words seemed to be full of some kind of magic.

Under the power of Xu Yue's divine sense, the middle-aged man's expression also began to appear in a trance. When he came back to his senses again, Xu Yue had disappeared from the carriage.

"Hmm, I'm actually distracted, is it because I'm too tired from the continuous journey these days?" the middle-aged man muttered to himself.

At this time, he had forgotten about Xu Yue's existence.

After getting out of the car, Xu Yue also processed the memory of the people in the other two carriages. After that, he changed his clothes again, and then walked out into the streets of the city, blending in with the passers-by.

The prosperous scene in front of me gradually coincided with the memories of the past, but it was very different from the appearance in the memory.

"It's been almost ten years since I left here!" Xu Yue couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Ten years may be a retreat for monks with long lives. However, for these ordinary people in front of them who can't cultivate, ten years can be regarded as a small half of their lives.

After a while, Xu Yue walked into a remote alley.

The place hadn't changed much compared to his memory.

After removing the disguise on his body, Xu Yue came to the door of a certain house.

Knock knock.

"Who?" A moment later, a voice rang out from behind the door.

The door gradually opened, and a middle-aged woman appeared in front of him.

"Are you...... Xiao Yue?" The woman stared at Xu Yue's face for a while, and soon, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Didn't you say that you went out? I haven't had any news back for more than nine years, and I......'ve been anxious all these years."

The woman pulled Xu Yue into the house, her mouth seemed to open a chatterbox, and she talked endlessly about the events of these years.

Xu Yue always wanted to say something, but was quickly pressed back by the woman's words, and couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face.

Aunt Chen has always been like this, and this has not changed after so many years.

After a long time, Xu Yue finally found an opportunity to interject and asked, "Aunt Chen, isn't Uncle Liu at home?

"What else can he do, Uncle Liu? He went to sea, saying that he wanted to save more silver taels ......."

"Oh yes, when your Uncle Liu comes back, we have something for you. You should be tired when you come back from the road now, we have been cleaning your room, now go go and rest first!"

"Okay. Xu Yue nodded, and then entered the familiar room.

The room is furnished exactly the same as it was nine years ago, and hasn't changed in the slightest.

Xu Yue lay down on the bed and took a deep breath.

After many years of being a monk, he rarely felt sleepy. But at this time, the strong drowsiness reappeared after a long absence, and soon, he fell asleep.

In the dream, memories of the past surfaced one by one. It's monotonous, but it's unusually beautiful.

I don't know how long it took, but the sudden appearance of a rich fragrance pulled him out of his dream.

"Xiao Yue, your Uncle Liu has come back and is ready to eat. ”

Accompanied by the sound of knocking on the door, Aunt Chen's voice also came from outside the door.

"Good. Xu Yue spoke, and then got up from the bed.

After a deep sleep just now, the mental fatigue caused by the long escape seems to have been swept away.

Now he is in high spirits, and his cultivation has vaguely touched that threshold.

"Uncle Liu, it's been a long time. Xu Yue looked at a middle-aged man who was already sitting at the dinner table.

When the man saw Xu Yue, he immediately straightened his face: "You stinky boy, you dare to run out alone when you are so big, and you said that you are breaking through, what kind of fame is you breaking out now?"

"It's a bit of a small achievement. Xu Yue said in a low voice.

Although he was a Spiritual Realm cultivator, he was still a little breathless when facing the man in front of him.

He knew that his original goodbye must have broken the hearts of the two.

But even so, the two waited year after year, waiting for his return.

"What are you talking about? Xiao Yue finally came back and said some bad things!" Aunt Chen glared at the man fiercely.

"Xiao Yue, these are your usual favorite foods, and when you come back today, I have prepared one for you. Aunt Chen looked at Xu Yue with a smile on her face.

Xu Yue picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate silently.

He hadn't tasted food for a long time since he had been in Bigu. Unconsciously, most of the food on the dining table was also swept away by him.

After many years in the cultivation world, he hadn't experienced such a sense of peace of mind for a long time.

"Stinky boy, come with me. After the meal, Uncle Liu dropped this sentence and walked into Xu Yue's room.

"Xiao Yue, don't worry, over the years, you and Uncle Liu have never blamed you for that incident. Aunt Chen smiled and put her hand on Xu Yue's shoulder and patted it gently.

"Hmm. Xu Yue replied softly and walked into his room.

In the room, Uncle Liu sat on the edge of the bed and said nothing.

Xu Yue walked over silently and sat down beside Uncle Liu.

"You kid is so good, you slipped out without saying a word, and you were sad to ...... Aunt Chen during that time."

"But since that's your own ambition, we don't care about anything. After all, you also have to face life alone when you become an adult, and there are advantages to breaking out earlier. ”

"When we took you over there, we didn't want you to suffer too much, so we restrained you in every way. Now it seems that we have been thinking too much about it. ”

"But now that you're out and about, remember to keep an eye on it at all times, and don't fall into the trap of someone with a heart. ”

......

Xu Yue quietly listened to Uncle Liu's chatter.

Uncle Liu has always cared about him very much, otherwise he would not have said so many things to him like he did now.

"Finally, we have something for you. Uncle Liu said, got up and came to a cabinet. After opening the cabinet, he walked back with a wooden box.

"This is the silver tael we have saved over the years, and you should need it if you are out and about. Uncle Liu said, pushing the wooden box in front of Xu Yue.

"Uncle Liu, I don't need these silver taels, let's use them with your old couple!" Xu Yue showed a surprised expression on his face, and immediately pushed the wooden box back.

"This is what I decided with your Aunt Chen, the two of us can make do with it without these silver taels, you don't have to worry. Uncle Liu said, pushing the wooden box back again.

Seeing the resolute expression on Uncle Liu's face, Xu Yue sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'll take it." ”

Uncle Liu is stubborn, and he has never given up on what he recognizes.

"Uncle Liu, I've been wandering around all these years, and I have something to give you. Xu Yue said and took out two bracelets.

Those were two jade bracelets, and at first glance, they were not much different from ordinary jade bracelets.

"This thing is good, you kid has a heart. After playing with it, Uncle Liu put away the two bracelets.

He didn't know that the two bracelets Xu Yue took out were made of spiritual jade, and ordinary people would have the effect of warming the body and prolonging life if they were carried by ordinary people for a long time.

"Uncle Liu, you should keep these two bracelets by your side often, it is said that they can prolong your life. Xu Yue reminded.

"You kid, how can it be so easy to prolong your life. Uncle Liu scolded with a smile, but still took out a bracelet and put it on his hand.

Soon, night fell.

On the streets of Nanyang City, more and more people began to appear.

Even though it's night, day and night aren't much different from night to this bustling city.

As the night gets deeper, this bustling city gradually becomes deserted.

Xu Yue, who was lying on the bed, was quietly thinking about something.

"Dad, mother, now that I have achieved cultivation, I already have the ability to avenge you!"

"I've been waiting for this day, I've been waiting too long!"

Xu Yue's eyes flashed with deep hatred.

After a while, Xu Yue, who had finished sorting out his things, left a letter in the room and once again left the home that had raised him for many years.

Late at night, the streets are patrolled by the city's guards.

But to him, these guards were completely useless. Soon, he appeared outside Nanyang City.

He sped along the path, and after half an hour, a quiet city came into his sight.

Looking at this small city that had been engraved into his mind, Xu Yue's breath also fluctuated slightly.

Xu Yue continued to approach and soon came to the outside of the city. At this time, he did not enter the city for the first time.

Divine consciousness quietly emanated from his body, gradually enveloping the city.

One by one, the sleeping mortals were swept by his divine sense, and soon, his divine consciousness had swept over a large area. It's just that the person he is looking for has not yet been detected by his divine sense.

"Could it be that you have already left?" Xu Yue frowned and continued to expand the scope of exploration.

After all, more than ten years have passed since that day, and if that person is not too persistent, it is very likely that he will leave this place. That would make it harder for him to look for it.

Suddenly, Xu Yue's divine consciousness paused somewhere.

"I finally found it, and I've been in this city for so many years, so I don't have to bother looking for you anymore!"

Xu Yue's figure flashed and entered the city.

Soon, Xu Yue's figure appeared in front of a large mansion.

"City Lord's Mansion?" Xu Yue raised his eyebrows and entered it in an instant.
