Strange town.
The outskirts of the town was a large field. Most of the crops here were staple food such as wheat and corn. Although Yang Xuan had no status in Yang family back then, he wasn't so poor that he had to farm. So naturally, he had never come into contact with these things.
It was already mid-May. The wheat had started to sprout, and the branches of the corn were already a meter tall.
There were at least a hundred acres of farmland in the outskirts of the town. A large patch of green entered one's eyes, making one feel relaxed and relaxed. Not far from the wheat, Yang Xuan saw a row of houses.
It was noon, and it should be time for families to cook and eat. However, Yang Xuan and the others did not see the residents of the town.
"What's going on?" Yang Xuan stretched out his hand to catch Little Black, who was sent flying by him. His face was a little ugly. He originally wanted to find a place to settle down, but Little Black flew around the whole town. He didn't find anyone.
After telling everyone about Little Black's discovery, Xingyun rubbed his chin. Could it be that the ferocious beast invaded and ate everyone in the town? One should know that Central Province was different from other places. The ferocious beast had lived here since ancient times. Even if the human race is powerful now, they can't kill all the ferocious beast. "
"No, that's impossible." Yang Xuan shook his head and said, "If it's really the invasion of the ferocious beast, there should be many traces left behind. Although he did not know how strong the residents here were, at least there would be traces of resistance. However, after Little Black flew out and circled around, he found that the things in these people's houses were all arranged very neatly. Some of the doors are even locked from the outside. It seems like everyone has gone out together."
"Is there such a thing?" Yun Yan frowned and suddenly said, "Could it be a ghost cultivator? After all, this place is so close to Northern Domain. If it was a ghost cultivator, it wouldn't be strange."
Regardless of whether Yang Xuan or Yun Yan's guess was correct, if it was really done by a ghost cultivator, there should be traces left behind.
After a discussion, everyone decided to walk into the town. They would go and inquire about the situation. Although it wasn't impossible for them to live in the wilderness, they had already arrived at a place where people lived. Everyone naturally wanted to find a place to sleep on a warm bed.
After entering the town, the people from the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion immediately spread out. Although the town wasn't big, there were still over a hundred households. It wouldn't be easy to search all of them.
Yang Xuan and Xingyun weren't in a hurry. They found a spacious place and settled down.
During the period of their journey to the Central Province from Wizard Country, although Yang Xuan's cultivation base didn't improve much under Xingyun's guidance, his sword technique had improved by quite a bit.
Seeing that Xingyun didn't have any intention of hiding anything from him, he passed all the things he knew to him. Yang Xuan also handed the Seven Star Sword Spell to Xingyun. However, after seeing Xingyun use the Seven Star Sword Spell, Yang Xuan finally understood how terrifying the Seven Star Sword Spell was.
According to Xingyun, Yang Xuan's understanding of the Seven Star Sword Spell was only at the beginner level. And even if Xingyun relied on his own understanding of the sword, he could still use an analogy. He could only be considered to be at the top of the class, not even at the top of the class.
Seeing how powerful this sword technique was, Yang Xuan became even more curious about the origin of this sword technique. He had also taken the initiative to ask about the Black Panther, but the Black Panther said that it was something he had known since he was born. As for who it came from, he wasn't very clear.
However, after Xingyun obtained the Seven Star Sword Spell, he had given the person who created this sword technique a lot of respect, as if he was a god. To be able to make a Sovereign so highly respected, Yang Xuan had a better understanding of the status of this sword technique.
Soon, all the people from the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion who had dispersed had returned. Among the crowd, there was an old man who looked dirty. He was following the crowd and looking at them carefully.
"Young Lord, we have searched the entire town, but only one person was found." Yan Yun reached out his hand and pulled the old man up. He quickly arrived in front of Yang Xuan and said.
The old man looked at Yang Xuan. Judging from the expression on his face, it was obvious that he had been frightened and had yet to recover.
Yang Xuan stood up and looked at the old man with a kind expression. "Old man, don't be afraid. We are not bad people. We are just passing by. He wanted to find a place to rest. He saw that all the people in the town had disappeared. That's why I sent my men out to look for them. If they did anything bad, I'll definitely teach them a lesson later. "
Yang Xuan said and turned to look at the cloud next to the old man. He frowned and said," Aren't your actions too rude? You scared them. "
"I'm innocent, Young Lord." Yun Yan showed a bitter expression and said to Yang Xuan, "When I found this old man, he was already like this."
As Yun Yan spoke, he told him everything that happened when he found the old man.
It turned out that when Yan Yun passed by a family, unconsciously, he heard clanking sounds coming from the house, so he walked over and knocked on the door. However, the door was not closed. When Yun Yan walked in, he found a cellar in the house, and the clanging sounds came from the cellar.
Yun Yan walked down the cellar and found an old man forging metal in the cellar. The old man indicated that he knew where the people in the town had gone, so the cloud of smoke had brought him here.
After listening to Yan Yun's story, Yang Xuan nodded. Only then did the old man recover and said, "That's right. What your subordinate said was the truth. At that time, I was in the cellar."
"But why did you forge iron in the cellar?" Yang Xuan asked curiously. One should know that the heat emitted from a blacksmith's iron furnace was very hot. And because forging required a lot of wind, they also chose places with ventilation. If the iron furnace was placed in the cellar, the people inside would definitely feel very uncomfortable.
"I'm forging weapons, I'm going to save my relatives" The old man suddenly said something that made people confused.
Just when Yang Xuan and the others wanted to ask, the old man suddenly became excited again and kept breathing heavily.2
Seeing this, everyone could only give up. After the old man calmed down a little, they continued to ask.
When the old man heard everyone's question, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I am going to save my fellow villagers. In order to protect my daughter, Ah Ting, they were captured by that bastard Bai Hee."
