Qingyuan Town.
The sound of horse hooves galloping could be heard, and the townspeople quickly took cover.
On the not-so-wide street, a group of black-clothed men were escorting an exquisite carriage, galloping on their horses.
In less than ten breaths, these ten riders disappeared from the street in the blink of an eye.
Only then did many hawkers and townspeople come back to their senses.
"This team has such a strong aura!"
"Which big shot has come to Qingyuan Town?”
The tavern owner, who had always been well-informed, looked at the flag in front of the convoy and his pupils constricted.
"It's another troubled autumn." He shook his head.
"Elder Liu, why do you say that? I recognize the waist tokens of those people just now. They are from the Demon Slayer Troop of the imperial court. The Demon Slayer Troop is the strongest force of the imperial court.”A burly man who was sitting and drinking asked in puzzlement.
"Of course I recognize the Demon Slayer Guards. But did you see that flag just now? "The tavern owner said in a deep voice.
"I've been in Qingyuan Town for a full 50 years, and this is the second time I've seen that flag!”
"Sky Flag? Is there anything particular about this?" Another muscular man also approached and asked.
The tavern owner shook his head.
"The Heavenly Flag is the symbol of the Heavenly Guards patrolling the world! The Heavenly Guards were the imperial court's most powerful force!”
"We're just a small town, and such a big shot actually came. Other than something big happening, what else can it be?”
Hearing his words, the originally noisy tavern immediately quieted down.
Everyone looked at each other. After a while, someone slowly spoke.
"Could it be because of the recent rumors about Mount Song Temple?”
"Is it that matter that we reported to the authorities but didn't get any results?”
"A temple? I've lived here for so many years, but I've never heard of a temple being built in Songshan.”
"I heard that many people have gone missing in the mountains!”
"Anyway, I don't dare to go up the mountain now.”
"A big shot like the Sky Guards definitely wouldn't come here for nothing.”
"Although our Qingyuan Town is good, how can it compare to the prosperous Imperial City of the Central Plains?”
The atmosphere in the tavern became more and more solemn.
"It seems that the matter has already reached a very serious level…"
The tavern owner sighed again and lowered his head to continue serving the customers.
.............
"How's the situation? Has there been any news about the missing Solitary Eagle?”Ye Sheng asked as he got off the carriage.
"No, I didn't. Until now, there was no news from Lord Eagle. He sent a small team to search for them, but they had yet to return. No one dares to enter the mountain now…" Wang Gan, the person in charge of Qingyuan Town, said in a low voice.
"Oh?" Ye Sheng raised his eyebrows. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"Interesting. So many people have gone missing in just a few days. It seems that this Anomaly is fearless.”
"Report!"
"Report!"
"Dark guard Huang Xuguang has returned and requests an audience with the Heavenly Guard!”
"Let him in." Ye Sheng said indifferently.
Very soon, a haggard looking martial artist rushed in and knelt on one knee before Ye Sheng, lowering his head to question him.
"Your subordinate Huang Xuguang greets the Heavenly Guardian! Lord Sky Guard, please punish me!"
"Get up. What crime have you committed? Tell me in detail what happened.”Ye Sheng said calmly.
Huang Xuguang began to slowly recount his experiences in a low voice.
"That day, this subordinate and a group of brothers went to search for Lord Ying's traces. We heard that someone had seen a strange temple in Mount Song, so we went into the mountains to look for it.
As he searched, his subordinate suddenly heard a scream and rushed over. When he reached the place where the sound came from, he did not find anything.
The other brothers have all disappeared without a trace…"
"Are you saying that you didn't see anything? All they heard was a scream, and then they all disappeared?”Ye Sheng asked calmly.
"That's right!" Huang Xuguang lowered his head in fear.
Ye Sheng looked at him and did not say anything else.
Huang Xuguang broke out in cold sweat, almost soaking his back.
Wang Gan, Zhang Qian, and the rest stood by the side and did not dare to make a sound.
Ye Sheng's power was getting stronger and stronger. Just his words and actions could give people great pressure. They could not help but be nervous.
"I'll give you one last chance. Are you sure you only heard the voice and didn't see the other brothers?”
"This subordinate…Subordinate "
"Answer me!" Ye Sheng's eyes widened as he roared.
The rest of the people were so frightened that their bodies trembled. Wang Gan and Zhang Qian's eyelids also twitched fiercely.
Huang Xuguang finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground in fear.
"This subordinate saw it, saw the other brothers!!”He sounded like he was about to break down.
