Chapter 567: Returning to South Star City

Although Jiang Yun’s figure disappeared as the teleportation array activated, his name lingered in the ears of the people.

"Seeking-Tao Sect Jiang Yun? I haven’t heard of that name. Besides, isn’t the Seeking-Tao Sect gone? Why is there suddenly a Jiang Yun showing up?"

"I don’t know, but his power is really strong. He even broke through the defense array of Senluo City."

"Where has he gone now?"

"He left this teleportation array that does lead to Nanshan Province! I heard that most of the teleportation arrays in Nanshan Province have been destroyed, only South Star City still has one!"

"Boom!"

Just then, a series of explosions suddenly rang out. Everyone quickly looked towards the sound and saw the flames that Jiang Yun had unleashed before leaving, now fiercely burning.

This made everyone too busy to care about Jiang Yun’s background, and hurried towards the teleportation array.

When the last group of people finally successfully departed through the teleportation array, the entire Senluo City had turned into a sea of fire.

…

South Star City, located in Nanshan Province and belonging to the Luo family of demon refiners, is also one of the three largest cities in Nanshan Province. From the outside, it doesn’t look much different from when Jiang Yun left years ago.

However, in reality, the city is no longer as bustling but rather very desolate.

Inside the large city walls, there were very few people to be seen.

Especially on Xiuyuan Street, which was designated for cultivator trades, most of the shops, big and small, were closed. The few that were still open were empty and not getting many customers.

The reason for this situation was not only because the three major forces had attacked Nanshan Province from South Star City, but also because the Luo family had surrendered to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.

As a family specializing in refining demons, the Luo family should have been enemies with the demon race and should have taken the initiative to confront the Ten Thousand Demons Cave. However, they surprisingly decided to join forces with them.

This behavior deeply upset the various sects of cultivators and made them unwilling to stay in South Star City. This made South Star City the exclusive access point for the three major forces to enter Nanshan Province.

However, today, an outsider appeared at the teleportation array in South Star City!

As the teleportation array lit up, a member of the Luo family who was responsible for guarding the area hurried over, not yet able to see clearly who was in the light but eager to greet them.

Over the past year, besides members of the three major forces, no one else had used the teleportation array to enter South Star City, so the guard assumed it must be someone from one of the major forces.

Finally, when the light faded, and only one figure was revealed in the teleportation array, the Luo family member felt puzzled but dared not show any disrespect. Smiling, he approached and bowed respectfully, saying, "Junior Luo Xu welcomes the esteemed guest!"

However, as he looked up and saw the young man stepping out of the teleportation array, he furrowed his brow slightly because he felt like he had seen this person before somewhere.

The person who appeared was Jiang Yun, and at this moment, he had a look of surprise on his face.

While performing The Art of Deathly Suffering in Senluo City, Jiang Yun had already used divine sense to check six teleportation arrays and found that only one of them led to Nanshan Province, so he walked into it without hesitation.

But he didn’t expect that this teleportation array would directly send him to South Star City.

Jiang Yun was very familiar with this place, as his journey to fame began here.

Furthermore, Xia Zhongxing and his son were also in this city.

Returning here after many years, made him feel a bit nostalgic.

It wasn’t until he heard Luo Xu’s voice that Jiang Yun snapped out of his thoughts. He looked around the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar empty streets and furrowed his brow slightly, asking, "What’s wrong with this South Star City?"

Jiang Yun’s question puzzled Luo Xu, who stared at him for a long time before his face suddenly showed a look of great surprise as he exclaimed, "You, you are, you are Jiang Yun!"

In the beginning, when Jiang Yun went to the Luo family to celebrate Luo Qing’s birthday, the ancestor of the Luo family, he did many amazing things. Even though it has been a long time, the people of the Luo family still remember Jiang Yun vividly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xu suddenly reached out his hand, and a dagger with a faint glow flew straight towards Jiang Yun, causing him to quickly move back.

Although he did not expect Jiang Yun to come to South Star City, he knew that Jiang Yun was from the Seeking-Tao Sect, which was in conflict with his own Luo family. Without hesitation, he attacked Jiang Yun by surprise.

However, there was a loud "bang" as the dagger hit Jiang Yun and was knocked to the ground.

Jiang Yun seemed completely unaffected and reached out towards Luo Xu without a care.

Immediately, Luo Xu felt a strong force enveloping him, causing him to involuntarily return to Jiang Yun’s side.

Seeing the fear on Luo Xu’s face growing, he realized that Jiang Yun’s strength had greatly increased compared to when he first visited the Luo family.

Jiang Yun, unperturbed by Luo Xu’s fear, asked again, "Tell me, why has South Star City become so desolate?"

"Um…"

When Luo Xu’s eyes kept rolling, Jiang Yun’s eyes narrowed, deciding to stop asking questions and instead used his powerful divine sense to enter the other’s mind directly.

It was clear to him that Luo Xu was telling lies, so he decided to read his mind directly.

After a moment, Jiang Yun’s frown deepened, his entire face becoming even more grim, with boiling anger in his eyes.

Naturally, through Luo Xu’s memories, he already understood why South Star City had turned into its current state.

He was not too surprised by the Luo family’s allegiance to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.

Because back when he first entered the Luo family’s Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip, he already knew that the Luo family had a secret alliance with the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.

The Luo family opened the Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip, allowing cultivators below the Sky Reaching Realm to enter freely, claiming to offer them opportunities, but in reality, they were helping the Ten Thousand Demons Cave by planting Demon Seeds inside these cultivators.

Even the Luo family’s own members, including their ancestor Luo Qing, had Demon Seeds within them.

Demon Seed is a method used by the demon race to control humans.

Once the Demon Seed is successfully planted and takes root, the person who has it will become a half-human, half-demon being under the control of the demon race.

However, their strength can greatly increase!

Therefore, when the Luo family submits to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, Jiang Yun is not surprised.

What really makes him angry is another matter. If he hadn’t searched Luo Xu’s soul, it would have been a lifelong regret!

In his anger, Jiang Yun’s powerful divine sense no longer held back, all flooding into Luo Xu’s mind.

Jiang Yun’s strong divine sense was too much for Luo Xu to bear, creating a storm in his mind, overwhelming him.

As Jiang Yun’s divine sense withdrew, Luo Xu sat blankly on the ground, drooling from his mouth, oblivious to his surroundings, now turned into an idiot.

Jiang Yun ignored him, not even checking the Duo Yao Pharmacy where he had spent six months on Xiuyuan Street. Instead, he shot up into the sky, flying towards South Star City at top speed.

Despite reaching his maximum speed, Jiang Yun still felt he was too slow, silently praying in his heart, "Can’t be late!"
