Two days later, Su Yuan swooped down and landed in a village.
"Finally found a village, but... is there no one?"
Su Yuan walked step by step in the village, silver light floating in his eyes, looking around.
The village is not large, but it should have a population of one or two thousand, yet at the moment, there isn’t a single person.
Su Yuan opened several doors in succession, and inside they were all empty.
Su Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, it would be fine if the village was inherently abandoned.
But from the black logs in the stove, the scattered farm tools in the fields, and the farm animals still not entirely starved such as chickens, ducks, pigs, and geese, it seems more like these people suddenly vanished.
"Is it a phenomenon disaster, or the work of an evil cultivator?"
Su Yuan pondered briefly and then continued to fly outward.
Since one village is like this, let’s see a few more places.
However, after two days, Su Yuan passed several towns and villages, and it was still as if everyone had evaporated.
Until the third day, Su Yuan finally found a fairly large city.
It looks like it could have a population of tens or twenty thousand.
In the Southern Continent, cities of this scale usually have Shining Star Level cultivators, maybe even Radiant Moon Level.
However, when Su Yuan flew over, his All-Knowing Vision scanned and it was still empty.
This is quite strange!
A village with two thousand people was understandable, but this is a city of over a hundred thousand people!
Quickly, through the information searched in the city, Su Yuan also understood where this was.
The country here is called Lie Country, this is a border city, and indeed there are three Radiant Moon Level masters in the city.
Su Yuan immediately headed to the City Lord Mansion.
"Signs of battle..." Su Yuan arrived at the City Lord Mansion, looking at the shattered ground, "This sword mark even retains a bit of residual warmth, should be a disciple of the True Yang Sect, and not lacking in strength."
Su Yuan had dealt a lot with the True Yang Sect before and instantly recognized that the sword mark was from the True Yang Sect’s True Yang Magic Sword, and the strength of the sword wielder definitely reached Radiant Moon Level.
"This is not simple." Su Yuan frowned slightly.
Obviously, a disciple of the True Yang Sect came to this city and fought an enemy, but the outcome was bleak.
Although Su Yuan himself did not get along well with the True Yang Sect previously, putting aside personal grievances, major righteous sects like Taishang Sect and True Yang Sect still safeguarded the stability of the Southern Continent.
Su Yuan unleashed One Heart Dustless, and a mass of information converged, leading to a discovery quickly.
"Less than two or three days, should be able to catch up."
Su Yuan looked up in a certain direction, his figure flickered, and he flew after it.
Only half a day later, Su Yuan arrived on a spiritual mountain several hundred miles outside the city.
This mountain, called Hidden Dragon Mountain, also has a small sect of several hundred people, with the sect master Li Fanghua being a Full Moon Level master.
But at this moment, the entire Hidden Dragon Mountain is shrouded in a cloud.
Although the entire mountain gate is still devoid of people at first glance, Su Yuan, relying on powerful perception, could vaguely feel that there seemed to be something inside.
Su Yuan entered the mountain gate, and soon heard faint cries of a baby coming from somewhere in the mountain.
Although the sound was elusive, it suddenly caused a self-dispersing impact to hit Su Yuan’s mind.
Su Yuan narrowed his eyes, easily blocking the impact, then looked up at the great hall at the top of Hidden Dragon Mountain.
"There?"
His body emitted a silver flash, and Su Yuan instantly flew to the mountain top.
The great hall was open, with a beautiful female Daoist in her thirties wearing a daoist robe sitting on the main seat directly facing him.
However, her expression was terrified, her face was deathly pale, completely motionless, and her aura was extremely weakened.
In front of her, a baby sat with its back to Su Yuan, constantly emitting cries, and seemed to be pulling something from the beautiful female Daoist bit by bit and devouring it.
It wasn’t eating flesh and blood; it looked like it was absorbing the soul!
At this moment, as the baby took another bite, the beautiful female Daoist’s eyes dulled completely, her body rapidly became illusory, and before Su Yuan she slowly disappeared...
"Even the existence of the flesh body was erased?"
Su Yuan’s eyes flashed coldly, immediately understanding that the people before him had been consumed by the infant’s soul in a similar manner.
Moreover, they might have been lured by the infant’s spiritual power, each one swallowed unknowingly.
At this time, the baby turned around, and Su Yuan saw its face clearly.
Its complexion was greenish, with large eyes almost devoid of whites.
And in its eyes, burning eerie green flames brightened due to the recent devouring of the female Daoist’s soul.
"Wuu wuu wuu..."
Clearly, its face bore a skin-deep sinister smile, yet it emitted cries like an infant.
