Chapter 814 Something is Wrong
Su Qianchen said politely, "The City Lord doesn't actually have to go to the city gate to greet us in person."
The city lord said, "Although the people in Xiyuan City are a bit tougher than those in the central region, as the city lord, I must not forget etiquette and the way of hospitality."
As soon as we entered the city, a chaotic atmosphere hit us in the face, which was obviously much more serious than the Xifang City just now.
The difference is that the breath of the demons can be clearly felt here.
Yun Guiyue frowned. This atmosphere was really uncomfortable.
"Does the city lord know that there are demons active in your city?"
The city lord sighed slightly, "I know that, but the evil spirit in the city emerged overnight. I have been investigating for a long time, but I still can't find the source.
Everyone here is affected by the demonic energy, but I can't find any demons operating in the city. Without finding the demons, there's no way to take action, but the effects are persistent."
This is indeed the case, because the demonic energy that Yun Guiyue felt was relatively uniform, without a specific source point.
The people here are all violent and have fierce looks on their faces, as if they can attack others at any time.
However, seeing the city lord standing next to this group of people, even though they were ready to make a move, they did not dare to actually do it.
The city lord was a little sad. "I have governed this city for ten years. The people in the city and those who pass by have generally recognized my status and authority. But since the outbreak of the demonic energy, these people have even set their sights on me."
She still had some feelings for the people in the city and didn't want to really take action, but they kept provoking her, so she had no choice but to suppress them with force.
So the current situation has arisen where they want to take action but are afraid to do so.
Yun Guiyue looked at her and inexplicably thought of Yu Ping, who was also a good city lord who was willing to give everything for his city.
"It's not their wish to be affected by the evil spirit. Once the source and cause are found, everything will return to normal."
The city lord chuckled. She never thought that at her age, she would still need a little girl to comfort her one day. But she had to admit that what the little girl said did make her feel a little relieved.
Xiyuan City is the city closest to the Mountain of Corpses. The City Lord's Mansion of Xiyuan City is built in a more remote area of Xiyuan City, which is also the place closest to the Mountain of Corpses, so that the City Lord can always observe the impact of the Mountain of Corpses on Xiyuan City.
Yun Guiyue could feel the creepy deathly aura from the mountain of corpses even when standing outside the City Lord's Mansion.
The impact of the mountain of corpses on the human race is so great that thousands of years ago, a powerful person used the Mountain-Securing Array to completely separate the mountain of corpses from the human race.
Humans can enter the mountain of corpses, but the aura in the mountain of corpses cannot enter humans.
Yun Guiyue stood still, but his eyes never left the mountain of corpses.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Su Qianchen noticed Yun Guiyue's abnormality and asked immediately.
Yun Guiyue shook her head and said, "Go in first."
The city lord poured tea for a few people.
Su Qianchen asked, "Has the City Lord ever caught someone who killed someone, or collected the body of someone who was killed?"
"Of course there are. If you need them, I'll have someone bring them up now."
Helian Hong nodded, "Bring it here."
"good."
A row of corpses lay before his eyes. The city lord cleverly used a special method to preserve the corpses, making them look as if they had just died.
