After leaving the courtyard, Xiao Yuhan walked out without looking back, with Nangong Ling'er following behind, "Senior brother, where are you going?"
In fact, Nangong Ling'er knew that Xiao Yuhan wanted to go to the Northern Border at this time, but rationally speaking, she couldn't let her senior brother go to that place alone. Xiao Yuhan also knew his junior sister's worries. "Don't worry, junior sister, I just really can't wait any longer. That person left a note, so I think something must have really happened. Since they specifically asked for me, no matter what their purpose is, I have to go. I'm afraid that if I'm late, something will happen to Yao'er. Junior sister, do you know that Yu Hui's real target is Yao'er? I don't know what she wants Yao'er to do, but deliberately leaving this note for me to go proves that I am also her target. I have to go!"
At this moment, Nangong Ling'er tightly gripped Xiao Yuhan's sleeve and said, "Senior brother, don't be anxious. Think about it carefully. If their most important goal is Yao'er, then why would they leave a note for you to go over? Haven't you considered that this might be a trap?"
Xiao Yuhan immediately said, "I've thought about it, but what can I do? If the enemy is coming for me, I might as well go and scout the situation. Also, the reason I plan to go myself is so that you can stay here. I can only feel at ease if you stay. I told Zhang Chengfeng before that if I'm not here, I should follow your orders. So if you need help, the Blood Lotus Sect will obey you without question. I need you to stay here, keep an eye on Nanmen Ruoxuan, and investigate the situation. Contact me anytime if there's any news!"
Nangong Ling'er was still uneasy. After thinking for a long time, she said, "Senior brother, why don't we wait? What if we can find traces of them here?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Ai Yue's voice rang out, "Uncle-Master Xiao, Uncle-Master Nangong, come quick!"
The two turned around and saw Ai Yue helping the injured Lu Yuan back. They quickly rushed over.
The first thing Lu Yuan said when he saw Xiao Yuhan was, "Uncle-Master Xiao, Murong Zhi is suspicious. He kidnapped Junior Sister Bai Yao, and I was also injured by him..."
Nangong Ling'er's expression changed. "Murong Zhi? With his strength, he could hurt you?"
Lu Yuan looked very guilty. "I'm sorry, my two senior uncles. I failed to protect my junior sister..."
A hint of killing intent flashed in Xiao Yuhan's eyes. "It's not your fault. I can understand that Junior Nephew Lu Yuan is no match for him. Murong Zhi must have been possessed. Be careful when you see him again."
Nangong Ling'er frowned. "Possession? Just like Miao Xiaodie back then?"
"Yes!" Xiao Yuhan nodded, then looked at Lu Yuan and asked, "Do you know where he took Yao'er?"
“It should be in the north!” Lu Yuan said.
Xiao Yuhan thought for a moment, then left only the words, "Junior sister, this place is yours!" After saying that, he flew away on his sword. At first, he was not very fast. As he flew, he searched for traces, and he became more and more uncertain because the magic treasures he had left on Bai Yao could not track her aura, and he had no way of confirming that Bai Yao had really been captured and taken to the Eternal Cave in the Northern Territory.
The other party left a note, clearly intending to wait for him to arrive in order to kill him? Or was there something on him that they were interested in? Xiao Yuhan knew this trip was dangerous, but he couldn't worry about anything else; all he could think about was worry.
Flying over the Taihang Mountains and entering the legendary Ghost Plain, Xiao Yuhan's mood grew heavier. The scenery before her eyes could be described as hell on earth, with wandering ghosts everywhere and no trace of living people to be seen, but many corpses could be seen.
The demonic beasts that originally lived in the Northern Plains were devoured by vengeful spirits. As soon as Xiao Yuhan entered the Northern Territory, she sensed several auras with strong resentment. Those powerful vengeful spirits also discovered Xiao Yuhan and attacked her like madmen. However, Xiao Yuhan had no intention of getting entangled with them at this time.
When it comes to dealing with vengeful spirits, his lightning magic is the most suitable. The extremely yang and powerful lightning is most effective against these yin entities, which is why he is known as the Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal.
These vengeful spirits weren't particularly strong, but there were too many of them. Xiao Yuhan arrived at a small village where the vengeful spirits were relatively concentrated, and dealt with several of the vengeful spirits following behind him, leaving one behind.
Spirits are different from humans. Most of those who become vengeful spirits are driven by obsession and resentment. Few can retain their sanity from their previous lives. The one who survived can barely retain his sanity. He must have been a general in life. Judging from his appearance, he probably had some thoughts after death.
While reciting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, Xiao Yuhan asked after calming his mind, "Where is the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts?"
The vengeful spirit opened its mouth, seemingly unable to speak. Xiao Yuhan thought for a moment and tapped its forehead with a finger. "Answer my question!"
"Northern Barbarian Dragon City!"
Upon receiving this answer, Xiao Yuhan showed no mercy and directly destroyed the spirit in front of him. This person had been a vengeful spirit for too long, and it was basically impossible for him to recover. Rather than letting him continue to do evil, it was better to end it all and give him a quick death. This person was also a soldier who had fought on the battlefield for many years, and he must have already become indifferent to life and death.
Now that the body is dead, the lingering spirit in the world has little meaning, since no one knows if there will be an afterlife.
Regarding the Northern Barbarian Dragon City, Xiao Yuhan only knew that it was once the capital of the Northern Barbarian Dynasty. The thirteen cities of the Northern Plains are now all deserted. As for the Northern Barbarian Dragon City, it should be the place with the most vengeful spirits.
The entire city was wiped out by Yan's blade, which would surely breed resentment.
Xiao Yuhan didn't linger for a moment and continued on his way, heading towards the Northern Barbarian Dragon City.
Three days later, one evening, Xiao Yuhan was attracted by the noise on the road. The sound of fighting came from a small town in the distance. He guessed that Bai Yao might be there, so he rushed over to check. But as soon as he got there, he regretted it.
