Xie Zhou couldn't help but doubt himself. Was he wrong, or was this place really that strange? For a moment, Xie Zhou didn't know what to think, but subconsciously he told himself that this place was definitely not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
"Although there are still quite a few survivors here, I suspect there are many more heinous things behind this place that we haven't seen or found. In that case, don't blame me for not being careful!"
Xie Zhou was now determined to find the mastermind behind this and see who dared to use sorcery to provoke him.
Xie Zhou then took out the Tai Xu Mirror, which he always carried with him, from the package behind him.
This mirror had always been with Xie Zhou, and it could see things that were not currently visible, revealing the truth of past events. Thinking of this, Xie Zhou felt a deep sadness and sighed.
To activate this mirror, Xie Zhou would need to provide a significant amount of spiritual power.
"Are you sure you want to use this mirror? What happened here before might be something neither of us can bear. Why don't we head back and find my master to fight this together? This place is far too bizarre. If we go any deeper, we'll both lose our lives!"
Seeing that Xie Zhou had actually taken out such a powerful magic weapon, Luo Tianfan was also a little confused about what Xie Zhou was going to do.
Xie Zhou shook his head, clearly not planning to return home. After all, Xie Zhou had initially agreed to follow Luo Tianfan here with the intention of investigating everything. Otherwise, leaving halfway through would be too useless.
Just as Xie Zhou was continuously channeling spiritual energy into the Taixu Realm, the Taixu Realm also reflected what had happened here before. The once bustling market had many people strolling around, but then suddenly a cold wind blew through the air, just like what Xie Zhou had just experienced.
These gusts of wind looked extremely ominous and dangerous. In the blink of an eye, the joyful people in front of them were taken away, their flesh and blood disappearing completely, just like the woman from before, turning into dust. All that remained on the ground were pieces of white bones and skin.
In an instant, Xie Zhou couldn't help but think of the people he had seen on that road when he first entered the city. His thoughts were confirmed: clearly, the skins of these commoners had all been used by people with ulterior motives and hung outside to deter outsiders from going deeper.
Xie Zhou never imagined that the mastermind behind this was so ruthless, that so many lives were taken away by them like weeds.
"I'm furious about who's behind this! I can't believe how heartless this person is. So many lives are being taken like dirt in their hands! I'm so angry, I have to find out who's behind this!"
As he said this, his eyes revealed a deep sense of disgust. No matter how serious the mistakes the people here had made in the past, it was not like this.
Seeing Xie Zhou's incredible abilities, Luo Tianfan sighed, feeling quite surprised himself. He hadn't expected such a heinous thing to have happened in this place before. It seemed that the human bones and skin they had seen along the way were not fakes, but real.
Xie Zhou knew that his current identity here had been exposed as a weakness. If he continued to investigate as an investigator, he would definitely be discovered by the mastermind behind the scenes, which was not what Xie Zhou wanted.
So Xie Zhou grabbed a few sets of men's clothes from a nearby shop, smeared himself with layers of ash, and looked just like a local vagrant, covered in dirt and grime.
Xie Zhou finally felt relieved. Now he needed to hide his identity well and explore the area. He refused to believe that he couldn't find out who was behind this place with his efforts.
Afterwards, Xie Zhou and Luo Tianfan walked side by side down the street and saw a beggar on the side.
"It's astonishing that there are beggars like this in this place. Even rich kids might not survive, so how could beggars possibly live? It's truly astonishing! Even children here are plagued by monsters, yet this strange creature is still alive and well, and hasn't starved to death?!"
A wave of doubt flashed in Xie Zhou's eyes in the other world. Then Xie Zhou turned to Luo Tianfan and made a vow. Clearly, both of them suspected the beggar in front of them.
Moreover, the beggar must know the city's streets and alleys very well, and be very familiar with every road. If the two of them go up and ask carefully, they might be able to find out something.
Just as Xie Zhou and Luo Tianfan walked up together, trying to find the beggar, the beggar disappeared in the blink of an eye, vanishing without a trace. His speed was astonishing, as Xie Zhou had not expected the beggar to be so fast.
"Even beggars here can run away this fast. Could it be that our disguises have been discovered?! This beggar must be no ordinary person. Quick, after him! My sixth sense tells me that if we catch up with this beggar, we'll uncover all the secrets behind this!"
After Xie Zhou finished speaking, he turned to look at Luo Tianfan and the last two, nodded, and quickly followed behind the beggar.
"I asked you to help me with this, but I didn't expect you to be even more dedicated than I was. Since you're determined to catch up with this beggar, I'll definitely lend you a hand! I also feel that this beggar holds countless secrets!"
After Luo Tianfan finished speaking, he nodded to Xie Zhou and then chased after the beggar.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Luo Fantian was cultivating when he suddenly sensed a slight fluctuation in the air currents. Luo Fantian quickly opened his eyes, and his cold gaze revealed what he was thinking.
"Oh no! I didn't expect that in just a few days since I left, new dangers have appeared around Xie Zhou. I can't sit here and wait to die!"
After saying these words, Luo Fantian immediately stood up and straightened his wide sleeves. After all, Xie Zhou's matter was Luo Fantian's matter, and Luo Fantian absolutely could not stand by and watch Xie Zhou get into trouble while he was away!
