"I will return to Youyun City and find out from my father what happened there."
"I didn't mean to ignore the people of the city, I just... I just..."
But Liao Qifeng himself couldn't say what it was.
His lips were tightly pressed together, their color pale, and his brown pupils flickered, revealing his current helplessness.
Seeing that he looked like he wanted to explain but was unable to, Sheng Ning did not lower her upturned lips. "In that case, Young City Lord, you should go back and find out the current situation in Youyun City."
The city lord of Youyun City is already old; at a thousand years old, he is already quite remarkable in today's cultivation world.
Liao Qifeng, being the city lord's youngest son, was spoiled by the old city lord and always acted as he pleased.
He travels around all day but has never returned to Youyun City to sit down and properly understand the current situation of Youyun City.
If it weren't for Sheng Ning's reminder, he would still be staying in Saluo City, completely disregarding the people of Youyun City.
The closest transit point to the Invincible Sect is Youyun City.
When Sheng Ning and his companions returned to Youyun City with Liao Qifeng on the same airship, all they could see was desolation.
Unlike the previous time when the demons were causing trouble in Youyun City, the place was deserted and quiet with every household closed.
It was a genuine recession.
The streets were completely deserted, and lanterns rolled down to their feet in the wind.
The captain, who had just stopped the airship, saw Sheng Ning bend down to pick up the lantern and let out a long sigh.
"You must have just returned from the Northern Region, and you don't know what happened in Youyun City recently."
Liao Qifeng was overjoyed to hear that someone knew what had happened in the city.
He immediately pursed his lips and stepped forward, his brows furrowed, and said in a deep voice, "What happened in the city? Why has it become like this?"
The captain was intimidated by his cold and imposing aura.
After taking a step back, the captain began to recount what had happened in the city some time ago.
“As the most central town on the continent, Youyun City is a transit point for many forces.”
"Hey, didn't a few young people from small sects destroy a branch of the demon race that they had set up here a year ago?"
"Everyone was happy at first, thinking the matter was over, but who would have thought... sigh!"
The demons didn't leave at all.
The ghost locust tree planted in the city is also hiding many demons.
Not long ago, those demons suddenly appeared and devoured many of the city's residents, scaring them into fleeing overnight.
That's why we have this desolate scene now.
"You've come at the wrong time. The old city lord has fallen, and the young city lord has gone off to train somewhere."
"Humans are probably..."
The captain realized he had said too much and quickly turned his head to look around.
Seeing that no one was around, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I won't say any more. Take care of yourselves. If you need to take an airship, go to the border town next time."
The border town is very far from Youyun City.
But the captain and his crew were helpless. Youyun City had long been occupied by the demons, and now very few people still lived in the city.
Everyone was terrified and dared not go out even during the day.
Even after the captain left, Liao Qifeng was still unable to recover from the shock.
He looked around and realized that he was now in the most bustling street in Youyun City back then.
His throat tightened, and when his gaze fell on Sheng Ning and the others, a bitter smile appeared on his lips.
“You’re right. Many times I haven’t even done my own job well, so how can I take care of other things?”
A bitter feeling welled up in his heart. Liao Qifeng clasped his hands in a fist salute to the person in front of him and said, "In that case, I thank Fellow Daoist Sheng for enlightening me."
"If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, Fellow Daoist Sheng, you can come to Youyun City to find me."
"Alright, you should go back and see your father first," Yu Ye glanced at him. "Stop with the pleasantries. Youyun City is in such a state, and you're still thinking about my junior sister?"
Liao Qifeng's face turned pale when he was exposed.
A breeze blew by, and his figure swayed slightly.
After he turned and left, Sheng Ning turned around and looked back.
Upon seeing this, Yu immediately raised her hands, "Junior Sister, I didn't say anything, and I didn't try to hurt anyone. I was just telling the truth."
"Youyun City has become like this. How can he, as the young master of Youyun City, ignore such a large town?"
"With great power comes great responsibility. He has been the young lord of this city since birth, and he is destined to bear this responsibility, so I did not say anything wrong."
Hearing Yu Ye rattle off a long explanation like beads falling from a tree, Sheng Ning looked away and glanced at him with amusement.
“I didn’t say that Fourth Senior Brother misspoke; Fourth Senior Brother is absolutely right.”
"I was just looking at the roast goose shop that my master used to love the most. Now that Youyun City has been occupied by the demons, my master's roast geese are all gone."
Yu also looked in the direction she was pointing.
Upon seeing the roast goose shop's doors tightly shut, his eyes widened in shock. "Are you kidding me! The demons have invaded, fine, but how did they manage to force the roast goose shop to close down?!"
"What about Master's roast goose?!"
The sight of the two senior and junior students singing in harmony was observed by others.
Sheng Ning shrugged and said, "I wonder if there are still any raw materials left inside. If Master knew that we were driving away the demons here and even making him roast goose, he probably wouldn't blame us, right?"
As the central town of the continent, Youyun City serves as a transit point for various strongholds.
Now that the demon race has destroyed this harmony, not to mention the presence of various factions.
At this very moment, there wasn't a single living creature on the streets of Youyun City.
Just as Sheng Ning and his companions were preparing to go to the roast goose shop to feed themselves.
A 'click' sound suddenly rang in their ears.
At first, Sheng Ning and the others thought that the sound was caused by stepping on a dry branch.
As the 'clicking' sound became more and more frequent, they realized that something was nearby.
The moment his divine sense reached out, it was bounced back.
Sheng Ning looked up in the direction of the demonic energy.
When they saw a hideous monster happily gnawing on a withered human leg.
She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
"What is he holding in his hand? A human leg?"
"The demons have indeed invaded Youyun City, but I wonder what the city lord's current situation is."
"In broad daylight, how dare these demons be so audacious!"
The six siblings of the Invincible Grandmaster immediately revealed cold and solemn expressions in their eyes.
The next instant, each of the six people was holding a laser cannon, with ice shards covering their backs, looking ready for battle at any moment.
When the demon sitting on the roof, gnawing on a leg, saw this scene, his cloudy eyes immediately lit up with excitement. "Haha! New food!"
