Chapter 133: The Mysterious Old Man
As night fell, the streets gradually became deserted. Except for a few patrolling teams of weirdos, most pedestrians walked towards their homes.
Xiao Yichen sat in front of the window, quietly observing the movements below.
"Patrol Team Five, is the nighttime surveillance in this Nether City so strict?"
After saying that, he was ready to take action. Although there were many weirdos patrolling the streets, they were not very strong, so there was no need to worry at all.
After quietly leaving the inn, he hid in a secluded corner under the cover of night, bypassing the inspection of the patrolling monsters, and came to the house where he was during the day. He saw that there were still two Jindan stage monsters guarding the door, and bursts of light were coming out of the house, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
“Really dedicated.”
With a wry smile, he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it to the side. The noise instantly attracted the attention of two people. Xiao Yichen seized the opportunity and slipped in from the side.
After entering the house, he stepped directly into the teleportation array in the center. After a flash of light, his figure disappeared in the house.
"Hey, did the teleportation array emit a light just now?"
"Are you dazzled? We've been guarding here the entire time. Not even a mosquito can fly in."
…………
After a moment of trance, Xiao Yichen found himself teleported to an open space. The teleportation array behind him was still glowing faintly, and there was a mountain in front of him. Fortunately, there was no one guarding nearby, otherwise he would have been exposed directly.
"Phew... God bless you thief."
After looking around and making sure he was not discovered, he quietly flew up the mountain along a stone road. He did not encounter any trouble along the way and arrived at the mountain gate of the Ming Sect smoothly. However, the surroundings were still empty and very quiet.
"Huh? Why isn't anyone guarding the mountain gate?"
Suddenly he noticed something was wrong. There was not even a trace of fog in the air. At this moment, a strong smell of blood wafted over.
"Is there something wrong with the Ming Sect?"
Fearing unexpected changes and with the fog disappearing, Xiao Yichen immediately used his insight technique, but when he figured out the situation, he was stunned.
"All dead? How could that be?"
Suppressing his inner surprise, he rushed towards the mountain gate. When he arrived at the Nether Sect, he saw a large number of strange corpses lying densely on the ground. Each corpse had only one fatal wound, which was obviously done by someone with a high level of cultivation.
"What happened here? Who killed them?"
The purpose of his coming here was to find out the news about Yin Fu Palace, but now all the people from Ming Sect have been killed, so what is there to find out?
Just at this moment, several sounds of breaking through the air suddenly came from the distance. Xiao Yichen was horrified when he heard the noise.
"Don't take the blame when you haven't found any information yet."
Thinking of this, he found a secret place to hide. He must not be discovered now, otherwise he would end up losing more than he gained.
Soon, several figures appeared here. The leader was actually a strong man at the peak of the Concentration Realm. He was totally beyond Xiao Yichen's ability to deal with. What's more, there were three weirdos at the middle level of the Concentration Realm beside that man.
"Eh... we're still a step too late. Those guys from Yin Fu Palace acted too quickly. We rushed here as soon as we got the news, but we still didn't catch up."
"This place has also been polluted by them. We must find a way to solve this problem. Otherwise, it won't be long before the environment we live in becomes smaller and smaller."
"You make it sound simple, but what can we do? The areas they've contaminated can only recover slowly over time."
In secret, Xiao Yichen heard the conversation between several people and was ecstatic. He didn't expect to hear news about the Yin Fu Palace here.
And from the way they spoke, it seemed that the Yin Fu Palace was indeed a mortal enemy of the other forces in the Land of Cold Evil.
"It seems that the fog here was also cleared by the Yin Fu Palace. I wonder what method they used."
After those people collected the remains of the Ming Sect, such as weapons, secret manuals, elixirs, etc., they prepared to leave.
But at this moment, a beam of light suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping all of them.
"what……"
The man in the lead screamed in pain, wisps of white mist continued to rise from his body, and his face became extremely hideous because of the pain.
Xiao Yichen hid in the dark and dared not make a sound. The beam of light made him feel the breath of death. Even the strong man at the peak of the Concentration Realm could not resist it, let alone him.
The few of them didn't hold on for long before they turned into ashes under the illumination of the beam of light, which made Xiao Yichen's scalp tingle in the dark.
"Instant kill at the peak of Concentration Realm. If he didn't use any treasures, he must be a strong man at the Fusion Realm at least. Don't let him find me!"
He muttered to himself, what a pity, what you fear will come true. After those people were killed, a man in black robe appeared out of nowhere on the ground in front of him, with a hunched back and his eyes fixed on the place where he was hiding.
"Come out."
The tone was extremely indifferent, but Xiao Yichen's heart trembled when he heard it. He knew that the other party had discovered him, so he had to bite the bullet and walk out of his hiding place.
"Senior, I'm just passing by and I'm not from the Underworld Sect." He wanted to explain that if he was mistaken for a member of the Underworld Sect and killed by the other party, his death would be too unfair.
Fortunately, the man in black robe just looked at him indifferently and had no intention of taking action.
"Someone from the outside world?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Yichen's heart, which had just been relieved, instantly lifted up again, and his whole body turned cold. He knew how hostile the people in the Land of Cold Evil were to outsiders like them. When he thought of this, he subconsciously stepped back.
Seeing him like this, the man in black robe chuckled, then slowly removed the black robe that was covering himself, revealing an old face.
When Xiao Yichen saw the other person's appearance clearly, he was shocked. Although the old man's pupils and posture were still similar to those of a weirdo, he had lost that weirdness. If viewed from a distance, he was not much different from an ordinary old man in the outside world.
Before Xiao Yichen could ask about his doubts, the old man put on his black robe again and threw a map over.
"After you get out, come to this place."
After saying that, he didn't care whether Xiao Yichen agreed or not, and left quickly into the distance. After a while, he disappeared without a trace. Everything happened so fast as if it was a dream.
Looking at the map in his hand, Xiao Yichen's mind was full of questions.
"This...how does it feel...never mind, at least I'm still alive."
With a wry smile, he headed straight down the mountain. Now there were no clues left in the Underworld Sect, so there was no point in staying any longer.
And if he guessed correctly, the old man just now was most likely from the Yin Fu Palace. As for the other party wanting him to go to the place he designated, he should find Yun Mei and the others to discuss it.
He returned to the teleportation array at the foot of the mountain, stepped on it, and the next second he reappeared in the same room.
"Brother? Why are you so late..."
Before the strange man guarding outside the house could finish his words, Xiao Yichen walked out swaggeringly.
"who are you?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yichen punched him directly. Now that the entire Ming Sect was destroyed, he naturally had no more worries.
After killing the two men, the noise quickly attracted the patrolling monsters. After seeing the corpses on the ground, they all rushed towards Xiao Yichen.
Seeing this, Xiao Yichen just glanced at the other party lightly, summoned a magic sword and flew forward. The magic sword kept shuttling between them. In just a moment, dozens of people present were dead.
After resolving the matter here, Xiao Yichen went straight out of the city, followed his senses to find Yun Mei and the others, and told them what had happened.
"Yi Chen, I think we can go. Since that mysterious person didn't make things difficult for you, it means he doesn't have any ill intentions towards outsiders like us. He is most likely from the Yin Fu Palace."
