Sanyuan City

"Hello, Zhuowen. I was at the scene of the battle at Sky Capital Peak four months ago. You're really strong."

Xu Ronghua, on the other hand, appeared natural and unrestrained. She extended her delicate and white jade-like hand and placed it in front of Zhuo Wen.

Zhuowen was taken aback. He extended his hand and shook her hand gently. He smiled and said, "That's because of the uniqueness of my armor. My strength is only average."

Xu Ronghua's strength was not bad. Her cultivation was at the Sixth Level Emperor Realm. Judging from her aura, she was not far from the Seventh Level Emperor Realm. She was only a core disciple of Sky Capital Peak.

It seemed that the gap between Mysterious Origin Peak and Sky Capital Peak was quite big.

During the process of shaking hands, Zhuowen also sized up the twenty core disciples behind Xu Ronghua. He found that they were all Fourth Level Emperors, with a few Fifth Level Emperors.

Xu Ronghua shook her head. She obviously did not believe Zhuowen's words. However, she was a smart person. She knew that this involved Zhuowen's privacy. Naturally, she would not continue to ask.

"Alright, you can go now. For this investigation, you will listen to Zhuowen's orders. Do you understand?" Elder Tiandu suddenly said solemnly.

"Yes!"

Xu Ronghua and the twenty or so core disciples all nodded in agreement.

"This is a high-grade Emperor Weapon, the Red Cloud Flying Sword. It's extremely fast. Ride this flying sword and you will reach the border of the Divine Specter Realm in three days. Your target this time is Sanyuan City. You will investigate the truth behind the destruction of the neighboring Yanyue City."

Elder Tiandu waved his sleeve and took out a scarlet flying sword. The flying sword hummed and expanded to a size of several hundred feet. It was more than enough to carry twenty people on it.

"Zhuowen, take this jade talisman. I've left a mark on it. If you encounter any trouble in Sanyuan City, crush the jade talisman and I will rush over immediately."

Shao Yu took out a jade talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Zhuowen.

After receiving the jade talisman, Zhuo Wen looked at Shao Yu with slight surprise and nodded with a smile. "Looks like you still care about your disciple. Since you're so sincere, I won't be polite and accept it."

"You brat, what nonsense are you saying?" Shao Yu's eyes widened in anger. His tone became a little unfriendly.

"I'm leaving, Old Shao Yu, I appreciate your kindness. Goodbye."

With that, Zhuowen stepped Red Cloud Flying Sword. The Red Cloud Flying Sword turned.... red light turned. and Red Cloud Flying Sword turned Red Cloud Flying Sword.. The Red Cloud Flying Sword turned. Red Cloud Flying Sword turned. red Cloud Red Cloud.

…

The Scarlet Heaven Flying Sword's speed was indeed fast. It was even faster than Zhuo Wen's purple lightning wings.

Of course, if Zhuo Wen used the power of the void on his purple lightning wings, his speed would increase by several times. Perhaps the Scarlet Heaven Flying Sword under his feet would not be able to compare.

Just as Old Man Tiandu had said, Zhuowen's group only took three days to arrive at Three Origin City.

However, when the Red Cloud Flying Sword landed in Three Origin City, everyone was stunned. They realized that the city, which was supposed to be bustling with activity, was completely silent.

There wasn't a single soul in Three Origin City. It was like a dead city.

"Is Three Origin City always like this?"

Zhuo Wen turned around and asked Xu Ronghua as he looked down at the deathly silent Three Elements City.

Xu Ronghua shook his head and said, "Although Three Origin City is a relatively remote city in the Divine Nether Realm, it's not to the extent that there isn't a single soul here. Could it be that the tragedy in Yanyue City has already spread to Three Origin City?"

"It's very likely!"

Zhuowen's eyes were cautious. Soon after, he commanded the Red Cloud Flying Sword to land in the center of Three Origin City.

Twenty people got off the flying sword and looked around vigilantly.

Zhuowen's brows slightly knitted. His powerful Mental Energy was like invisible tentacles as it spread out in all directions to investigate the situation in the surrounding buildings.

However, what made Zhuowen's brows tighten even more was that there wasn't a single soul in the surrounding buildings. Even the things in the buildings were untouched. There weren't any signs of fighting or anything else. It was as if everyone in Three Origin City had evaporated into thin air.

"Zhuowen, should we split up and search around Three Origin City?" Xu Ronghua's brows tightly knitted together as she asked Zhuowen.

"Yes!

All of you split up and search. However, be careful. If there's anything amiss, immediately use the Communication Jade Token to summon us. "Zhuowen nodded his head and said.

As she spoke, Xu Ronghua began to assign tasks. It had to be said that Xu Ronghua was extremely capable. She also had some methods to dispatch other core disciples.

From the respectful attitude of those disciples towards Xu Ronghua, it was clear that Xu Ronghua was highly respected in their eyes. If Zhuowen was the one to dispatch them, those disciples might not necessarily listen to him, Zhuowen.

After assigning tasks, twenty over disciples flew towards the surroundings and began to search the entire Three Origin City. Xu Ronghua stayed behind and stayed beside Zhuowen.

"Zhuowen, can you see anything different?" Xu Ronghua softly asked.

Zhuowen shook his head and said: "I can't see anything either. If we want to understand what happened here, we need to find the original residents of Three Origin City. Otherwise, we won't be able to find anything or any clues from this ghost town."

A short while later, over twenty core disciples gathered on the street where Zhuo Wen and Xu Ronghua were located from other parts of Three Yuan City.

However, what disappointed Zhuowen and Xu Ronghua was that the twenty over core disciples were unable to find any useful clues in other parts of Three Origin City. In fact, they couldn't even find a single living person.

Xu Ronghua's beautiful eyes revealed a worried look as she asked: "What exactly happened?

Why has Three Origin City become a ghost town? "

"Xu Ronghua, do you know the address of Yanyue City?" Zhuowen suddenly asked.

Xu Ronghua was taken aback. Soon after, he subconsciously replied: "I know!"

"Then follow me to Yanyue City. The rest of you will stay in Three Origin City and wait for our return."

Zhuowen instructed before controlling the Scarlet Firmament Flying Sword to carry him and Xu Ronghua. They transformed into a fiery red arc of light and disappeared from the sky above Three Origin City.

Yanyue City was very close to Three Origin City. Zhuowen only spent two hours to reach Yanyue City.

The feeling that Yanyue City gave him was even more deathly still and empty than Three Origin City. In fact, Zhuowen could even faintly sense that the air in Yanyue City was filled with a strange fog that was filled with the aura of death.

"Yanyue City is also a ghost town. Tiandu Peak master said that Yanyue City was massacred and no one survived." Xu Ronghua softly sighed.

"Massacred?

Senior Tiandu is so sure that Yanyue City was massacred? "Zhuowen asked in astonishment.

"That is also Peak master's guess. He thinks that the probability of a massacre is the highest." Xu Ronghua replied.

"Are there any other cities nearby?" Zhuowen continued to ask.

Xu Ronghua took out a scroll from his Spirit Ring and flipped it open. "There are a total of five cities in this border region. Aside from Yanyue City and Three Origin City, there are three other cities, namely Renjia City, Yanliang City, and Dumao City."

"Then let's take a look at these three cities."

Zhuowen didn't waste any time. With a wave of his hand, he directly stepped onto the flying sword with Xu Ronghua and flew towards the other three cities.

The two of them spent six hours patrolling the three cities. However, what made the two of them gloomy was that the three cities were also ghost towns like Three Origin City and Yanyue City. There wasn't a single person in them and they were filled with a deathly stillness.

"The five cities at the border have all been massacred?

Who exactly is it that is capable of massacring nearly a million people in five cities in such a short period of time? Moreover, no one is alive or dead. "

Stopping at the last city, Dumao City, Zhuowen and Xu Ronghua looked at each other. Their brows furrowed tighter and tighter as the doubts in their hearts grew deeper and deeper.

Who exactly was it that massacred these five cities?

Moreover, it was so cleanly massacred.

"Zhuowen, let's return to Three Origin City first. This border region is very strange. I'm afraid that we need to return to the Inner Academy and report this matter to Peak master." Xu Ronghua said to Zhuowen.

"Alright, let's return to the Inner Academy first."

Zhuowen didn't have any objections. With a wave of his sleeve, the Scarlet Firmament Flying Sword once again flew out and headed towards Three Origin City. Approximately six to eight hours later, they landed in Three Origin City.

At this moment, the sky had become dusky and the surroundings were incomparably white and pitch-black. In the empty ghost town, not a single light was lit and it looked extremely desolate.

Swoosh!

The Scarlet Firmament Flying Sword landed in Three Origin City. Soon after, Xu Ronghua took out her Communication Jade Talisman and informed the twenty over core disciples that were previously in the city.

"Oh?

No response? "

After sending out the message, Xu Ronghua's brows slightly knitted together as she said in astonishment.

"What's wrong?" Zhuowen asked.

"Just now, I used the Communication Jade Talisman to inform the other senior and junior brothers. However, I discovered that no one responded. Logically speaking, if they are all in Three Origin City, they will definitely reply to my message." Xu Ronghua's brows tightly knitted together as she said.

"Perhaps they saw that we haven't returned for a long time and went out to look for us. Why don't we stay in Three Origin City for a night? Perhaps they will return tomorrow. At that time, we can return to the Inner Academy together." Zhuowen suggested.

Xu Ronghua sighed softly. Her beautiful eyes were filled with worry as she said, "Looks like this is the only way."

"The inn is right in front. There must be many rooms inside. Let's just go in and stay for a night."

Zhuowen pointed to the front. There was a rather exquisite little loft there. Outside the loft, there was a bamboo pole with a canvas hanging on it. The word 'inn' was written on the canvas.

After entering the inn, it was pitch-black inside. With a flick of his finger, Zhuowen took out a luminous pearl from his Spiritual Ring. This luminous pearl might be a rare treasure in the secular world. However, to a cultivator, it was merely a worldly item that was used for illumination.

"Everything in this inn is neat and tidy. However, there is not a single person. I really wonder what happened earlier." Xu Ronghua looked around the inn and sighed softly.
