Silently and without a trace, it devoured one-tenth of his Nascent Soul Power.
This was somewhat terrifying!
He looked around, finally fixing his gaze on the city of Kaiyang beneath his feet, saying:
"Let’s first go into the city and ask around."
"If we can’t find anything out, we’ll wait for this old woman to wake up."
Ziwei Fairy nodded, and together with Jiang Fan, flew down into the city.
The city was mostly populated by ordinary people.
Vendors, laborers, and street peddlers could be seen everywhere.
Having not visited such a bustling city for a long time, Jiang Fan couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed.
The last time he entered a city was when he went to Sunset City in the North Border with Yue Mingzhu.
In a flash, it had already become an affair from more than half a year ago.
Beside him, Ziwei Fairy glanced at Jiang Fan, who was walking alongside her.
Her heart welled up with a tinge of bitterness.
She never imagined that one day she would be walking alongside Jiang Fan in a bustling street.
If only this day had come earlier.
Now, it’s too late.
Gurgle——
An errant ball suddenly rolled over, eventually stopping at Jiang Fan’s feet.
Jiang Fan looked and saw three six-year-old children in coarse shirts and shorts running after the ball.
Seeing the ball near Jiang Fan, the boy in the middle walked forward a bit timidly: "Could you give the ball back to me?"
A shiny long-life copper lock hung around his neck, and he wore a hat with Little Tiger ears on his head.
He had big eyes and a little flat nose.
He looked somewhat scared at the tall, black-clad Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan smiled slightly, bent down to pick up the ball, and handed it to the little boy: "Here you go."
The little boy, like a mouse, quickly grabbed the ball and then ran away barefoot with his two small companions.
Jiang Fan chuckled softly and said: "The most carefree age indeed."
After speaking, Jiang Fan suddenly paused.
For some reason, he had an odd feeling of déjà vu about the scene before him.
Ziwei Fairy cleared her mind and noticed a young man at the Core Formation Realm with a copper sword strapped to his back walking by.
She quickly stepped forward and said: "Daoist friend, may I ask you something?"
The young man, dressed in white, gazed at Ziwei Fairy’s graceful figure, immediately revealing a lascivious smile.
He reached out to touch Ziwei Fairy’s chin, saying: "Sure, let’s find a quiet place, and I can slowly tell you... Ouch!"
The young man suddenly howled in pain.
It was Jiang Fan who had twisted his wrist.
Ziwei Fairy looked surprised, and said: "Young Master Jiang, such quick reflexes."
The man had been so unexpectedly indecent that she hadn’t reacted yet, but Jiang Fan had promptly stopped him.
Jiang Fan pushed the young man in white away, and with a slight frown, looked at his own hand, appearing puzzled.
It wasn’t that he reacted quickly.
Rather, it was like a reflex, as if he had a premonition and acted before the other could even make a move.
This wasn’t right.
Jiang Fan is someone who pays great attention to detail, and while others might overlook something like this without a second thought.
He found it very unusual.
"There is indeed something wrong with this city."
Jiang Fan stared at his surroundings, but no matter how he looked, he couldn’t discern what was wrong.
Ziwei Fairy frowned.
She didn’t know why, but she also felt something was off.
Just now, when Jiang Fan returned the ball to the child, an image flashed in her mind of Jiang Fan saying "The most carefree age indeed."
Almost as if she could foresee the future.
Jiang Fan looked at the bustling crowd and said: "Let’s walk around a bit more and ask more people."
"If something has happened in the city, there’s no way they wouldn’t be aware of it."
