Chapter 500: Traces of the Evil Cultivator
"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 glanced at 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 absent-minded, and asked quickly.
"Nothing." Yuan Chao shook his head, and came back to look at the silver-eyed young man by the window. The other party had turned his head, and the feeling suddenly disappeared as if it was an illusion.
Shaking his head secretly, Yuan Chao retracted his gaze and waved his hand, saying, "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 got up and left.
In front of the ferry, one by one, star card masters came from all over the city, and got on the big ship after verifying the tickets.
After a quick look, there are probably about 20 people on this trip, all of them are Yao Star level.
After all, 1 centistar stone is far from affordable for the gold level, and it is impossible to take this ferry even if it takes a detour.
And 1 centistar stone per person, 20 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 Qiao Junior Brother, you 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 it 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, and the scenery in front of him seemed to have no change.
After several hours, the sky had darkened, and the speed of the ship 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 people from Baiyuan Sect who were about to get off the boat: "Take care, everyone. Welcome to Nuocheng next time."
Yuan Chao bowed and said: "Thank you for troubling me this time, Captain Lu."
Lü Han waved his hand and smiled: "It's my duty, it's my duty."
Lü Han did not dare to neglect the disciples of these big sects, especially since 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 are basically wearing sect uniforms.
Compared with the East Continent ruled by the state, 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 Lu 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 light and he looked forward. Not long after, he saw a lot of blood along the way!
Lu Han looked at Su Yuan's back, his mouth curled up, and whispered to the deputy captain Liu Xiao beside him: "Send a message to the base, bring some people over."
Liu Xiao's eyes moved slightly, and he also looked up at Su Yuan, and immediately responded: "Okay!"
"I always feel... so quiet." Yuan Chao frowned slightly and looked at the dense forest in front.
"Brother Yuan, that's not right!" Qiao Huai suddenly said in a deep voice, "The blood is thick ahead, I'm afraid... a lot of people have died!"
"Huh?!"
Yuan Chao and others were all shocked.
Li Qiaoyun's eyes lit up: "Brother Yuan, it must be that evil cultivator. It seems that he has come here!"
Yuan Chao pondered for a moment, turned his head and reminded the people around him loudly: "Everyone be careful, something seems to have happened ahead, there may be evil cultivators!"
"Evil cultivators?"
"Really?"
"..."
After the reminder, Yuan Chao did not care about these people anymore, but returned to the bow and came close to Lu Han: "Captain Lu, there seems to be evil cultivators ahead."
"Evil cultivators?" Lu Han looked surprised, and then chuckled, "There is our base not far ahead, and there are more than a dozen Yaoxing masters in it..."
Just then, Liu Xiao's voice came from behind: "Strange, Captain Lu, the base seems to have no response..."
"Huh?!"
Lv Han heard the words, looked at Yuan Chao in front of him, and his pupils shrank immediately, and he immediately flipped his hand and took out a talisman.
"Lü Han from Nuocheng, contact the base! Zhang Yong? Wang Mazi? Reply immediately if you receive it!"
"..."
After a long while without any results, Lü Han's expression became increasingly ugly.
Seeing this, Yuan Chao, who was standing next to him, returned to the team with a serious expression.
"This evil cultivator may be more difficult than expected. Everyone, be careful."
Qiao Huai and others immediately responded: "Yes, Senior Brother!"
Yuan Chao's eyes fell on Li Qiaoyun, who did not seem to have any nervousness on her 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 act on my own. But you don't have to be so nervous, isn't it just some people from the Nuocheng garrison who died? Yaoxing in such a remote place is just a chicken and a dog. Even if there are two or three purple card masters, they can't compare with us. It's normal that they can't beat the evil cultivator. Now that the evil cultivator left from here, we still have to catch up and find him as soon as possible." Yuan Chao pondered for a moment and nodded slightly. Although Li Qiaoyun was quite conceited and looked down on the Yaoxing in Nuocheng, she was also right. In most cases, the hard power of sect disciples is stronger than that of people from other forces outside, and even stronger than other casual cultivators. Maybe... I am really too serious. Yuan Chao looked at Qiao Huai and said, "Junior brother, can you see any clues?"
Qiao Huai made a hand gesture, then flicked his eyes, and suddenly colorful light flowed in his pupils.
Qiao Huai glanced towards the forest and soon locked a certain direction.
"Brother, the blood over there is the thickest, and it is quite fresh, at most... no more than half a day!"
"That's the direction of the base!"
A gloomy voice came from the side, and it was Lv Han who came over at some point.
After hearing what Qiao Huai said, Lv Han was basically sure that something had happened in the base.
Yuan Chao said, "It seems that the masters in your city's garrison are in danger."
Qiao Huai cursed angrily, "Damn it!"
Yuan Chao said, "Captain Lu, according to my junior brother's investigation, the accident in the garrison will not last more than half a day."
Lv Han thought about it and understood, "We communicate and report the situation every morning and evening. I think the evil cultivator you mentioned took advantage of this opportunity to take action today!"
Yuan Chao's eyes were thoughtful. Even so, the strength of this evil cultivator was higher than expected, as he could prevent everyone from sending rescue in time.
Lv Han said, "I have sent a message back to the city. The deputy city lord will come here in person on a spare boat!"
"That may take several hours." Yuan Chao frowned, and after a little thought, he said, "How about this, Captain Lu, you take some people with us to the garrison to check the situation."
Although Lu Han didn't want to go, he had to go and see what happened 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 go!"
Li Qiaoyun asked: "Brother, what about the other people?"
Although they heard that there was an evil cultivator, most people were still skeptical.
Some had already left on their own, while the rest stayed where they were for the time being, including the teahouse trio.
Yuan Chao said: "We can't do anything about it. Reminding them is already the most we can do. They are all Yaoxing and have the ability to protect themselves."
Li Qiaoyun frowned: "But..."
"Junior sister, listen to Brother Yuan's arrangements." Qiao Huai interrupted her.
Seeing this, Yuan Chao also said: "This evil cultivator is more powerful than we thought. We can't take care of others. Get rid of this evil cultivator as soon as possible, and these people will naturally be safe."
Li Qiaoyun nodded and said nothing more.
After Yuan Chao notified the rest of the people to try not to run around, he suddenly remembered something and glanced at Su Yuan next to him.
However, 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 base.
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, 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 flew up and headed straight for the outside.
Before he flew far, Su Yuan stopped, and a flash of red light burst out of his body with a thought, it was the demon soul.
"There is a bloody smell." The demon soul looked into the forest.
Su Yuan nodded: "I'll 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'm afraid he will most likely 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."
