Chapter 494: Evil Cultivator's Traces
"Evil cultivators..."
Su Yuan retracted his gaze and shook his head slightly. This had nothing to do with him.
After crossing the Nuo River, he would continue on his way.
After nearly half a day, it was already past three o'clock.
In the teahouse near the ferry, including the three people who had just talked, there were still a few people who wanted to take the ferry, and they had already stood up and left.
Not long after, Yuan Chao also walked out of the wing with his junior brothers and sisters.
Yuan Chao casually swept across the scene, and his eyes fell on the silver-eyed young man who was drinking tea by the window, and the other party just looked up.
"Hmm?"
The pair of silver pupils was extremely bright, and Yuan Chao suddenly felt that he was seen through, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong, Senior Brother Yuan?" Li Qiaoyun saw that Yuan Chao was a little distracted, and asked quickly.
"Nothing." Yuan Chao shook his head, and came back to look at the silver-eyed young man by the window again. The other party had turned his head, and that feeling suddenly disappeared as if it was an illusion.
Shaking his head secretly, Yuan Chao retracted his gaze and waved, "Let's go."
"The perception of that person just now was quite sensitive." Su Yuan watched the few people walk away through the window, put down the teacup, and then stood up and left.
In front of the ferry, star card masters came from all over the city, and got on the big ship after verifying the tickets.
After a quick look, there were probably about 20 people on this trip, all of them were Yao Star level.
After all, 10,000 centistar stones, which is far from affordable for gold level, and it is impossible to take this ferry even if it takes a detour.
And 10,000 centistar stones per person, 200,000 centistar stones per trip for 20 people, almost equivalent to the entire property of a Yao Star level, it is really a huge profit!
However, this is almost a monopoly industry, and there is no good way.
"Oh, that person is here too?" Yuan Chao saw Su Yuan boarding the ship at the bow.
Qiao Huai asked, "Brother, what happened to that person?"
"Nothing," Yuan Chao shook his head, "It's just that the person seems to be in the teahouse just now."
Qiao Huai looked at Su Yuan for a few times, and said in surprise, "What a powerful aura concealment, even I can't see anything more, I only know that it is Yaoxing level."
Yuan Chao was surprised and said, "Oh, even Junior Brother Qiao can't see it?"
Qiao Huai's soul power is auxiliary, and it can be said that he is very good at reconnaissance and search for enemies.
Qiao Huai nodded and said, "Unless you use the method of insight, but that is not polite, and the other party will definitely notice it... Hmm? He has already noticed us!"
Qiao Huai was talking, but saw the silver-eyed young man raised his head and glanced at the two of them.
The two quickly retracted their gazes, and Yuan Chao said, "That's it, no matter what he does, as long as he doesn't interfere with our pursuit of evil cultivators, it doesn't matter."
...
Not long after, the boat set off.
In addition to the passengers, there were seven or eight people under Lu Han, and the deputy captain was also a purple card master, responsible for maintaining order on the boat.
Su Yuan did not enter the cabin, but stood alone by the fence beside the boat.
"This water is really dead."
Su Yuan looked at the water of the Nuo River. Even if the big ship passed by, it only made a circle of ripples and returned to calm in an instant.
As the big ship went deeper into the Nuo River, the black air around it became thicker and thicker.
However, as Qin Song said, when this black air encountered the big ship made of black glutinous trees, it would not only not entangle and cover it, but would bypass it on its own.
Of course, Su Yuan would not completely entrust his life to this ship.
In Nuo City, Su Yuan had left a teleportation order.
If anything unexpected happened, he only needed to delay it for a moment and activate the teleportation order to return to Nuo City.
No matter how wide this Nuo River was, it could not exceed the maximum distance of the teleportation order.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the scenery in front of him seemed to have not changed.
After several hours, the sky had darkened, and the speed of the boat finally began to slow down.
"Oh, are we almost there?"
Su Yuan looked up and saw that the black air around him had become much thinner.
In addition, in the moonlight, he could already vaguely see the situation on the shore ahead.
Across the Nuo River was a dense forest. As long as they passed through this dense forest, they would enter the Southern Region.
In the Southern Region, there were the Qiankun Sect and Yixiandao, two of the ten major sects!
After a while, the hull shook slightly, and the big ship had already docked.
"We're here!"
Lü Han called out and led his men to dock the boat.
"After sitting for so long, I'm finally relieved."
The burly man in the teahouse trio immediately jumped down.
The rest of the people also got off the boat one after another.
Lü Han said to the Baiyuan Sect members who were about to get off the boat: "Take care, everyone. Welcome to Nuocheng next time."
Yuan Chao bowed and said: "I'm sorry to bother you this time, Captain Lü."
Lü Han waved his hand and smiled: "It's my duty, it's my duty."
Lü Han did not dare to neglect these disciples of the big sects, especially since the Baiyuan Sect was the largest force in this area.
This is why Wang Hao, Yan Zhen, and even Yuan Chao and other sect disciples in front of him basically wore sect uniforms.
Compared to the East Continent ruled by the country, the South Continent ruled by the sect is undoubtedly much more chaotic.
If you wear a sect uniform, the scoundrels will naturally not dare to offend you, and you can save a lot of trouble along the way.
Like Lü Han, not only did he not dare to charge Yuan Chao and others more for the boat ticket, he also gave them a 50% discount...
Su Yuan also got off the boat, but as soon as he stepped on the ground, Su Yuan's expression froze.
"Is this... the smell of blood?"
Su Yuan's eyes flashed with silver as he looked forward. Not long after, he saw a lot of blood stains along the way!
Lu Han looked at Su Yuan's back, raised the corners of his mouth, and whispered to the deputy captain Liu Xiao next to him: "Send a message to the station and bring some manpower over."
Liu Xiao's eyes moved slightly, he also raised his eyes and glanced at Su Yuan, and immediately responded: "Okay!"
"I always feel... so quiet." Yuan Chao frowned slightly and looked at the dense forest ahead.
"Senior Brother Yuan, that's not right!" Qiao Huai suddenly said in a deep voice, "There is so much blood in the front, I'm afraid...many people have died!"
"Um?!"
Yuan Chao and others were shocked.
Li Qiaoyun's eyes lit up: "Senior Brother Yuan, it must be the evil cultivator who did it. It seems like he is really here!"
Yuan Chao pondered for a moment, then turned to remind everyone around him loudly: "Everyone, be careful, something seems to have happened ahead, and there may be evil cultivators!"
"Evil cultivator?"
"real or fake!"
"..."
After the reminder, Yuan Chao did not bother with these people anymore, but returned to the bow of the ship and approached Lu Han: "Captain Lu, there seems to be an evil cultivator in front of us."
"Evil cultivator?" Lu Han looked surprised, then chuckled, "There is our station not far ahead, and there are more than a dozen shining star masters inside..."
At this moment, Liu Xiao's voice came from behind: "It's strange, Captain Lu, there seems to be no response from the station..."
"Um?!"
When Lu Han heard this, he looked at Yuan Chao in front of him, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately turned over his hand and took out a talisman.
"Lu Han of Nuocheng, contact the station! Zhang Yong? Wang Mazi? Reply immediately!"
"..."
After a long while with no results, Lu Han's face became increasingly ugly.
When Yuan Chao next to him saw this, he returned to the team with a solemn expression.
"I'm afraid this evil cultivator is more difficult than expected. Everyone, please be careful."
Qiao Huai and others immediately responded: "Yes, senior brother!"
Yuan Chao's eyes fell on Li Qiaoyun, and there didn't seem to be any nervousness on the other person's face.
Yuan Chao frowned and reminded: "Junior sister, you must follow me closely."
Li Qiaoyun crossed her arms and said, "Don't worry, senior brother, I won't do anything without permission.
But senior brother, you don’t have to be so nervous. Didn’t some people from the Nuocheng station die?
The shining stars in such a remote place are just local chickens and dogs. Even if there are two or three Zika masters, they can't compare with us. It's normal that they can't defeat the evil cultivator.
Now that the evil cultivator left from here, we still have to catch up and find him as soon as possible. "
After Yuan Chao pondered for a moment, he nodded slightly.
Although Li Qiaoyun was quite conceited and looked down on these shining stars of Nuocheng in her words, she was right.
In most cases, the hard power of sect disciples is stronger than those from other forces outside, and even stronger than other casual cultivators.
Maybe... I am just too serious.
Yuan Chao looked at Qiao Huai and said, "Junior brother, can you see any clues?"
Qiao Huai made a secret with his hands, and then touched his eyes, and a colorful light suddenly flowed in his pupils.
Qiao Huai glanced towards the forest and soon locked in a certain direction.
"Senior brother, the blood over there is the thickest and quite fresh. At most...it won't last more than half a day!"
"That's the direction of the station!"
A gloomy voice came from the side, but it was Lu Han who came over at some point.
After hearing what Qiao Huai said, Lu Han had basically determined that something had happened at the station.
Yuan Chao said: "It seems that the masters stationed in your city are in danger."
Qiao Huai cursed angrily: "Damn it!"
Yuan Chao said: "Captain Lu, according to my junior brother's investigation, I am afraid that the incident at the station will not take more than half a day."
Lu Han thought for a moment and understood, and said: "We communicate and report the situation every morning and evening. I think the evil cultivator you are talking about took advantage of this loophole and took action today!"
Yuan Chao's eyes were filled with thought. Even so, it was possible for everyone to be unable to send out rescues in time. The strength of this evil cultivator was really higher than expected.
Lu Han said: "I have sent a message back to the city, and the deputy city lord will come in person in a spare boat!"
"I'm afraid it will take several hours." Yuan Chao frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Let's do this, Captain Lu, you can bring some people with us to the station to check the situation."
Although Lu Han didn't want to go, but something like this happened, he had to go and take a look out of duty.
Moreover, there are several disciples of Baiyuan Sect here, so their safety should be guaranteed.
Lu Han said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's set off!"
Li Qiaoyun asked: "Senior brother, what about these other people?"
Although they heard that there were evil cultivators, most people were still skeptical.
Some of them had already left on their own, while the rest stayed there temporarily to prepare for a group gathering, including the teahouse trio.
Yuan Chao said: "We can't control it. It's our utmost kindness to remind them. They are all shining stars and have the ability to protect themselves."
Li Qiaoyun frowned: "But..."
"Junior sister, please listen to Senior Brother Yuan's arrangements." Qiao Huai interrupted her.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Chao also said: "This evil cultivator is more powerful than we thought. He doesn't care about others. If we get rid of this evil cultivator as soon as possible, the lives of these people will be safe."
Li Qiaoyun nodded and said no more.
After Yuan Chao informed the remaining people not to run around, he suddenly remembered something and glanced at Su Yuan beside him.
But the other party looked normal, with a faint silver light in his eyes, and seemed to be performing some kind of detection technique.
"This person seems to be really unusual."
Yuan Chao took another look and then retracted his gaze. After shaking his head, he led Lu Han and others to rush towards the station.
Su Yuan also retracted his gaze. The forest was too big, and Su Yuan had not yet found the evil cultivator mentioned by Yuan Chao and others.
Either the evil cultivator had already left.
Or... he was hiding in the forest with superb hiding methods, waiting for an opportunity to move.
"Lao Zhang, let's go directly. In such a large forest, even if there are evil cultivators, they may not be able to find us."
"Don't be impulsive, it's better to be careful."
"..."
"Lao Tan, what should we do?"
"I have to hurry back to Luojiazhuang, and I don't have time to wait here."
...
Two more waves of people left one after another.
Su Yuan glanced at these people, and after a moment of hesitation, he also flew up and ran straight to the outside.
Before flying far, Su Yuan stopped. A flash of red light burst out from his body. It was the demon soul.
"There is a bloody smell." The demon soul looked into the forest.
Su Yuan nodded: "I will look outside first, you stay here for now.
If the evil cultivator left, it would be fine, but if he is still hiding in the forest, I am afraid he will attack these people.
At that time, you can do what you want."
The demon soul grinned, with a flash of expectation in his eyes.
"No problem."
