After several days of flying, Su Qianxue and Chen Ye finally arrived at the border of Hongyuan County.
However, this flight can be said to be very labor-saving, but a bit expensive. Because Su Qianxue was afraid that Ye Shiyi would be too tired during the flight, so she simply asked Chen Ye to buy a transportation airship (it only costs 100 kilometers).
It requires 100 spirit stones!)
Looking at the high price, Chen Ye felt a little sad, but the Demon Sect was rich, which was nothing to Su Qianxue.
This time the two of them traveled together as before, and Su Qianxue even kicked the two guards who came back with her back to the Demon Cult.
"We're here, let's go down first, otherwise this thing will be too eye-catching!" Chen Ye naturally saw the gate of the border city, and then took the flying boat directly into his arms, and the two of them landed quickly with their cultivation.
As soon as she landed, Su Qianxue couldn't help but sneeze, "Why is this place so hot?"
"It is summer all year round in Yuanhong County, so the heat is certain, and the locals worship the element of fire as a god. Those strong men in the Purple Mansion Realm basically play with fire."
"Then where can I go to find the thousand-year-old snow lotus?"
"How would you know if you didn't look for it? Let's go and talk to the city first."
The two went through inspection and questioning, and were stopped by the guards. "Is this your first time in Yuanhong County?"
Chen Ye frowned and wondered why the guards asked such questions, but when he saw them questioning other people in this way, Chen Ye nodded.
The guard turned around and took a scoop from a large vat and handed it to Chen Ye, "Drink it and you can go in."
"What's this?"
"I'm here to help you relieve the heat, otherwise you might not be able to adapt to the heatstroke in our county." Looking at the smile on the guard's face, Chen Ye still didn't believe it, so he simply tried the poison on himself.
As soon as it entered his throat, Chen Ye immediately noticed something strange, "It's poisonous!"
Of course, Chen Ye did not spit it out directly, but wrapped it up with Ling Yuan and let it stay in his lower abdomen.
Chen Ye winked at Su Qianxue, and Su Qianxue immediately understood what it meant, and like Chen Ye, she pretended to swallow it.
The two of them had finally passed the inspection and truly entered Hongyuan County.
Chen Ye found a deserted corner and spit out all the water. Su Qianxue asked doubtfully, "Is this water poisonous?"
Chen Ye nodded, "It's not considered poison, but it can kill people!"
"True or false?" Su Qianxue looked at Chen Ye in disbelief, "Why do they want to kill us?"
Chen Ye chuckled, "I'm just kidding you, but I tasted a different herbal flavor in the water. I was afraid there would be something wrong, so I just spit it out. Besides, even if it's really for clearing away heat and detoxifying, I brought my own herbal medicine."
, no need for them!”
As soon as Chen Ye entered the main city, he saw ordinary people walking on the street with hemp ropes hanging around their waists.
This was because there was a funeral in the family, but the people all took care of it. Could it be that there were old friends in the family?
Chen Ye casually grabbed an old man and said, "Old man, why are you all wearing hemp ropes around your waists?"
The old man glanced at Chen Ye, then waved his hand towards Chen Ye, "Hurry up, young man, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
The next moment, the old man walked tremblingly towards the other side of the street on crutches.
Chen Ye didn't believe in evil and asked several questions in succession, but no one answered. Some even raised their crutches and chased Chen Ye to hit him. If Chen Ye hadn't reacted faster, he might have received several sticks in this moment.
Just when Chen Ye wanted to ask again, a big man suddenly pulled towards Chen Ye. Chen Ye reacted extremely quickly. The next moment, he ducked away and looked coldly at the strong man in front of him.
The strong man clasped his fists at Chen Ye and said, "Little brother, if we have anything to say, let's go in and talk about it!"
Looking at the strong man's expression, Chen Ye felt that he was kindly admonishing him, so he followed the strong man into a tavern.
Chen Ye could see that the strong man was also a cultivator, but his cultivation level was not high. He was probably playing a dual role in the innate realm, but there was no problem in protecting himself in this border city.
"This little brother, you look like an outsider at first glance!"
Chen Ye didn't shy away from it at all, after all, his clothes were different from theirs!
"The leader of Yuanhong County died not long ago, so everyone was asked to tie a hemp rope around their waists to express their pain."
"The king's funeral?" This matter was so big that Chen Ye and the others had not even heard of it.
"Accidents are normal. The people in Yuanhong County are all unanimous in reporting it to the outside world. No matter how serious the internal conflicts are, they must be unanimous in reporting it to the outside world at critical times! So no one from other counties knows about this matter."
"Aren't there other businessmen? How could they not convey the news to the outside world!"
"Little brother, it seems you drank the water given by the border guard."
"Of course, what's wrong with the water?"
The strong man looked around, and then released a barrier to isolate the sound, but in Chen Ye's opinion, it didn't have much effect, so Chen Ye also released one quietly to avoid being overheard.
"The water is said to have been cursed by a cult member. Anyone who discloses the situation here will explode and die. That's why those businessmen dare not say nonsense."
"Is he really so capable?" Chen Ye didn't really believe that there was a curse.
"Of course, and he did explode to death. This is how my brother died in front of me, but because he didn't say anything before he died, I came to Yuanhong County in person to find out what happened!"
Chen Ye secretly felt lucky that he had spit out the poisonous water, otherwise something might have happened!
"Then who is the current leader of the country?"
"There is no current ruler yet. All government affairs are handled by their eldest son. It is said that the eldest son is just a puppet of those cults."
The strong man paused, "Have you noticed that most of the people on the street are old, young, women and children, not a single strong man!"
Chen Ye recalled the scene just now, and it was indeed true, "Is it possible that all the strong men were taken away to do hard labor?"
"That's right, in order to fulfill his filial piety, the eldest son captured all the strong men who were not soldiers to build a spiritual palace for the old king! So some adult men here can only choose to be soldiers, or pretend to be outsiders, but they are
If you find out, you will be beheaded immediately in public!"
Chen Ye didn't expect that Yuanhong County could be in such chaos.
"Brother, where are you from?"
"People from Mobei County!"
Looking at the strong man's appearance and clothes, Chen Ye seemed to see something, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he followed him and chatted with him about Mobei's scenery and specialties.
The strong man hesitated for a moment, but still said something.
