Volume 1 Chapter 1074 Abandoned House

When the old man saw Kong Yun like this, he followed suit.

When the two of them entered Xin Qiong City, they did not see the demons everywhere as Kong Yun thought. They were all humans, and they did not find any traces of the demons.

Kong Yun felt a little strange and directly went to a restaurant. He ordered a few dishes, a pot of wine, and began to eat and drink.

The old man didn't have the desire to eat at first, but when he saw Kong Yun's expression, he still ate.

"You know, after the demon race came, the demon race didn't come back."

"Yeah, we can finally live a good life. The recent war has made our people's lives worse." Everyone nodded.

Kong Yun walked over to these people and said, "Friend, why aren't the demons here?"

"I don't know. The demons haven't been here since then. I wonder why." Kong Yun thanked him and turned around to return to the table.

"What do you think?" Kong Yun looked at the old man.

"This could be the calm before the storm." After the old man finished speaking, he did not say anything else.

"After we finish eating, let's go to the other two cities to take a look. The actions of the demons are very strange." Kong Yun looked out of the window and said thoughtfully.

The old man did not say anything. He looked at Kong Yun with a strange feeling in his eyes.

Not long after, Kong Yun left behind the divine plant and left the restaurant. He turned around and flew towards Xinling City.

Just halfway through the flight, the old man stopped and said, "Let's go take a look at the teleportation array and see if there is any possibility of repairing it." Kong Yun nodded and flew away in a square shape.

Not long after, Kong Yun and the others arrived at the entrance of the teleportation array. Looking at the shattered array, they could not feel a trace of the power of Laws on it.

"In your opinion, can a true formation be repaired?" The old man looked at Kong Yun.

Every time Kong Yun spoke, he walked to the front of the formation to observe carefully. Soon after, Kong Yun raised his head and said, "It can be repaired, but it requires five Yuan stones."

Hearing this, the old man laughed, "Five Yuan Stones is not a problem, as long as it can be repaired." After saying that, the old man turned around and left.

Kong Yun thought for a moment and followed the old man.

The two of them sprinted all the way to Xinling City in just two hours. Kong Yun then looked at the old man and said, "Do you feel the aura of the demons?" The old man shook his head. "I don't feel a trace of it. It's possible that the Heavenly God Realm in the city has isolated the aura, so I can't feel it either."

Kong Yun nodded, "Let's go in and take a look. After we enter, you should isolate our auras and prevent the demons from discovering us." The old man nodded.

After that, Kong Yun and the other two walked into the city and saw that there were only a few people on the street, but they didn't find any demons.

At this moment, a man walked in Kong Yun's direction. Kong Yun Lai walked forward and said, "Friend, are there any demons inside?"

That person shook his head. "After the people from Heaven-defying City left, the demons never came back."

"Then why are there so few people on the streets?"

Hearing this, the man shook his head. "The last time the demons took over, they slaughtered a lot of humans, causing this situation." After saying that, this person left this place.

"Let's go to Anling City to take a look. I'd like to see what the devil race is up to." After saying that, Kong Yun walked into the city.

"Didn't we leave? How can we go this way?"

"When we left, the teleportation array here was not destroyed. Let's go see if they destroyed it after we left." The old man nodded and followed Kong Yun.

When they arrived at the place, they saw that the teleportation array was intact without any traces of damage.

"What the hell are the demons doing?" Kong Yun frowned, his expression extremely solemn.

"Let's go to Anling City." Kong Yun then walked into the teleportation array.

When they appeared again, the two of them were already standing on the land of Anling City . They were still the same as the last two cities, and they did not find any traces.

"What should we do next?"

"Let's walk around the city and see if we can find any clues." After that, Kong Yun walked towards the street.

This time, Kong Yun did not choose to go to a prosperous place. Instead, he walked into the slum kiln.

After walking in, the old man frowned, "What are you doing here? It's so dirty."

"This is the most well-informed place. There is no news in the city that these people do not know." Hearing this, the old man frowned and was somewhat puzzled.

"There are a lot of beggars here. They are all over the streets and alleys of the city. They are very clear about who is coming in and what is happening in the city. Therefore, the information here is very well-informed. Although their information is ordinary, it may be the most important to us."

The old man stared at Kong Yun, his eyes filled with disbelief.

After that, Kong Yun walked to a beggar beside him and said, "Old sir, is there anything interesting in the city recently?" The beggar laughed, revealing his pitch-black teeth. The old man couldn't bear to look straight at him and turned around.

"Young man, there is nothing interesting in the city. Ever since the demons arrived, the number of humans has decreased rapidly and the number of incidents has decreased." After saying that, the beggar's eyes were filled with sadness.

Kong Yun nodded and turned to leave. Then, he came to another beggar and asked. The results were the same.

"I can't ask anything like this." The old man curled his lips and said.

However, Kong Yun did not give up. At this moment, he saw an old beggar in the corner and walked over.

"Old man, how have you been recently?"

"It's not very good. The arrival of the demons makes me very uncomfortable. I can't get anything to beg for." After saying that, the beggar smiled helplessly.

Kong Yun took out a few divine plants and handed them to the beggar, "Go buy something to eat." The beggar did not answer.

Kong Yun was puzzled, "I'll give you less, then I'll give you some more." After that, Kong Yun took out a bit of the divine plant and handed it over, but the old man still had no intention of accepting it.

"Old man, don't you want it?" Kong Yun asked doubtfully.

"I don't beg for money. I only beg for food." Hearing this, Kong Yun smiled.

"Is there any difference?"

"Of course, I'm begging to fill my stomach, not to buy food. When you buy food, people think that you're not begging because you're hungry, but because you're begging for money. Who's going to give me something to eat next time?" After saying that, the beggar curled his lips.

"There is also the difference between money and food. We beggars seek to fill our stomachs just for this. Money is different. Money can buy a lot of things. It can make us lose the meaning of begging." After saying that, the beggar showed a profound expression.

"Sorry, then I'll treat you to dinner." Kong Yun said with a smile.

"Sure." Afterwards, the three of them arrived at a small restaurant around them. Kong Yun only ordered the beggar's food. Seeing the old man's expression, he wouldn't eat anything here. If the old man didn't eat, Kong Yun naturally didn't have any reason to eat. Therefore, only the beggar was wolfing down the food.

"Old man, let me ask you something?"

"You can ask. As long as it's happening here, I basically know everything." The beggar said as he ate.

"I just wanted to ask you, have the demons been here since the last time they left?" The beggar did not speak immediately. Instead, he paused for a moment and said, "Wait, let me think."

Then the beggar continued to eat. Not long after, the beggar raised his head and said, "I remember. I heard a beggar say that he had seen the demons in a ruined house in the south of the city, but he only saw them once and never saw them again."

Hearing this, Kong Yun and the old man exchanged glances. They both saw the shock in each other's eyes. "Discarded mansion?"

"That's right, there is an abandoned house in the south of the city. It has been a long time since anyone lived there. It has been abandoned for so many years. It's gloomy inside, so I don't want to go in." As the beggar spoke, he felt a little disgusted.

"Are there any beggars living there?"

"I used to have them. I don't know where they are now. I haven't seen them for a long time." The beggar shook his head.

Kong Yun smiled and looked at the old man.

"Then let's go. The money has already been paid. You can eat slowly here." After saying that, Kong Yun planned to leave.

Right at this moment, the beggar continued, "Be careful. I feel that something is not normal." After saying that, the beggar laughed.

Kong Yun nodded, "Thank you, old man." After saying that, he left with the old man.

When Kong Yun walked out of the restaurant, the beggar looked at Kong Yun, smiled and continued to eat.

Kong Yun and the old man arrived at the abandoned house that the beggar had mentioned. When they saw the weeds and old walls inside, they saw that no one had lived there for a long time.

Kong Yun nodded at the old man and jumped into the courtyard.

When he entered, Kong Yun's eyes suddenly lit up as he searched the surroundings. "Where did anyone come from?" After saying that, they walked over with the old man and saw a few footprints on the ground. However, they weren't human footprints, but the footprints of the demons.

"Looks like what the beggar said is correct. Devil Cultivators have indeed been here before." The old man nodded.

"Use your soul power to wrap around the two of us. Let's go in and take a look." The old man nodded, and Kong Yun walked towards the room.

Kong Yun slowly pushed open the door. Dust slowly scattered on the door. There was also dust on the ground, without any traces of demon activity.

"Haven't the demons been here before?" Kong Yun's eyes widened, his expression slightly different.

"Let's go in and take a look." The old man then walked inside.

When he walked out of the room, he did not find any footprints of others, only the footprints of himself and the old man.
