Li Zhu knew that Nazha was worried about his safety. Although he was touched, he still felt indignant for the underprivileged in this era. However, such social inequality will always exist; it's just that in this era, few people sympathize with the weak.

“Sending soldiers there involves too many uncontrollable factors and is a complete waste of time. I am now indestructible and have a greater chance of surviving danger. Besides, there might not even be any danger inside. It's possible that the previous soldiers got lost. So, I'll go instead…”

Li Zhu insisted on personally scouting the city's specific situation, hoping to avoid unnecessary deaths. This was one of the few things he could do for these ordinary soldiers...

"Then I'll go with you..."

Naza answered without hesitation!

"No... I can protect myself, but I might not be able to protect you. I can't let my woman be in danger..."

Li Zhu resolutely refused, and although his tone was domineering, it made Nazha's eyes sparkle. She thought Li Zhu was so manly, and the fact that he said "my woman" was incredibly impactful...

"Your Highness, I'll go with you..."

At this moment, the Marquis appeared behind Li Zhu. Although he knew that this guy had been behind him all along, he really didn't know how to seize the opportunity to appear. Didn't you see that he was flirting with a girl?

"That's good, having the little monkey around will at least provide some protection..."

Li Zhu nodded and said that this almost made the Marquis go berserk on the spot. He felt that Li Zhu was really not human. He took the initiative to stand up and protect him, and he actually called him a little monkey in front of so many people. How could he show his face in the future?

However, the Marquis dared not reveal his true intentions. Firstly, Li Zhu's strength had already qualified him to challenge him, and secondly, Li Zhu had a monstrous younger brother by his side whose strength was ridiculously powerful...

"General Wang, give me the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow..."

Despite his reluctance, Wang Yanzhang still handed the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow to Li Zhu. Now, this treasure of the Wang family is considered Li Zhu's exclusive weapon!

After Li Zhu and the Prince left, Nazha's eyes immediately lit up, darting around as if she were plotting something mischievous...

"You're not allowed to move..."

Tuoba Dada knew exactly what she was up to; she just wanted to sneak over there. How could he let Nazha risk her life without knowing what dangers might be involved?

"uncle…"

Naza pouted and called out in a coquettish tone, which almost made Tuoba Dada's bones melt, but he still didn't give in, instead saying even more firmly.

"You're not allowed to go anywhere, calling me 'Uncle' won't help..."

"Bad uncle, stinky uncle..."

Naza said angrily, which made Tuoba Dada feel both helpless and amused...

Seeing that she couldn't escape, Nazha turned around and went back to the carriage in the group, ignoring Tuoba Dada...

At this moment, Tuoba Dada didn't care, as long as Nazha didn't do anything reckless!

Although Li Zhu was powerful, his mastery of various martial arts was extremely poor. After all, the time was too short, which made his weaknesses too obvious. When he used lightness skills with the Marquis, he was completely outpaced...

If he could combine internal energy with martial arts, then with his current strength, he could easily kill with a flick of a flower and leave no trace in the snow...

Li Zhu descended from the sky. The ability to use his lightness skill and temporarily stay airborne was incredibly exhilarating. Before transmigrating, he had always dreamed of flying, but he never imagined that he, who had never even been on an airplane, would be able to fulfill this dream on his own after transmigrating…

Whew!

Li Zhu, panting heavily, stopped beside the Marquis, only to be met with a disdainful look from the Marquis, as if to say, "You're not good enough either..."

He couldn't stand that look, and he pointed at the prince angrily.

"Little monkey, you just wait, I'll beat you until you're kneeling and singing 'Conquer' one day..."

The Marquis had no idea what song "Conquer" was, but he understood the meaning of the word. Although he really wanted to retort, he thought about Li Zhu's lightning-fast cultivation speed and decided it was better to keep quiet...

"Your Highness, can you smell anything?"

The Marquis, with an air of profound mystery, said that there weren't many opportunities left to show off. After all, as Li Zhu's strength grew, given his personality, he wouldn't let any chance to show off slip by...

Li Zhu rolled his eyes at him, realizing that the Marquis was doing this on purpose. He didn't argue with him, but instead focused on the wide-open city gates in front of him. The city was filled with a thick, impenetrable fog, and within the fog, Li Zhu sensed a dangerous aura, as if a great terror was lurking within...

An indescribable stench assaulted my senses. I hadn't noticed these details because I was too excited, but now that I'd calmed down, the smell was giving me a headache...

"What exactly happened in the city? Why is there such a strong stench?"

Li Zhu couldn't help but ask in confusion!

"This isn't just an ordinary stench; it's the stench of corpses. The fact that it can travel this far beyond the city walls means there are definitely more than just one or two people who have died inside..."

"That's what the Marquis corrected me on!"

Hearing the Marquis's words, the feeling of unease intensified...

"Could it be that everyone in the city is dead? Otherwise, why is it so quiet?"

Thinking of that flock of crows that just took flight, perhaps this is the only answer. Although I don't want to believe such a tragedy could happen, this is the cruel reality. To live is the true pursuit of ordinary people in this era...

"This is the outskirts of Luoyang City. Who would be so heartless as to massacre the entire city here?"

The Marquis frowned and said, "Although there are spies from the outer marquis's officials here, it's hard to say whether they'll even survive in this situation, let alone ask them for any information!"

"You'll know once you go in and take a look..."

Li Zhu took a deep breath. There would be no answer standing here. Only by going inside and taking a look could he find the answer he was looking for!

Li Zhu stepped into the city first, and the Marquis followed silently behind him. The moment their figures disappeared into the mist, the city fell into a deathly silence once again, with only the two large characters 'Wengcheng' remaining unchanged on the city walls…

The moment he entered the mist, the danger emanating from the depths of his heart intensified, but Li Zhu had to suppress it…

The city was not damaged in any way, which proves that no one attacked and carried out a brutal massacre inside the city!

So what exactly happened?

There wasn't a trace of human presence in the entire city; it seemed as if it were a ghost town...

But the open shops on both sides of the street, with their clean and tidy facades, all prove that people live here…
