Chapter 815 Heading to Luoshui County

Ye Kang bid farewell to his senior sister and Huixin, and left alone according to the coordinate jade slip given to him by his senior sister.

Lan Shuangning has already undergone Nirvana, so there's no need to worry about her safety. And with Huixin leading the way, there's no need to worry about her getting lost.

There was no need for Ye Kang to go back with him.

The location of the Demon-Slaying Valley is not in Lingquan County, but in the neighboring Luoshui County.

The Taixu Mountain I visited last time is located at the border of Lingquan County and Luoshui County.

Lingquan County has a Lingquan Spring, and Luoshui County also has a Luoshui River, which spreads throughout the entire territory.

The Luo River flows into the sea, where countless water demons are born, wielding immense power. There is even a legend that there is a dragon palace within the Luo River, where the Luo River Dragon King resides and commands all the demons.

These weren't things Lan Ningshuang said, but rather things Ye Kang had read in those miscellaneous books.

Of course, this time he did not need to contact the Dragon King of Luoshui, nor did he need to pass through Taixu Mountain. Instead, he went straight from the edge of the Bottomless Lake to Luoshui County.

With smooth official roads and well-equipped city post stations along them, there was absolutely no need to worry about anything.

Ye Kang did not stop, but continued eastward along the official road, passing through several cities, and soon arrived at Luoshui County.

Two days later, another city appeared before Ye Kang.

This was the first major city we passed through after entering Luoshui County, named Jufeng City.

Several powerful figures guarded the city gate, their aura causing passing martial artists to lower their heads, daring not to offend or overstep their bounds in the slightest.

Ye Kang also changed into ordinary black clothes, put away the academy jade token, and even transformed himself into his cousin Xie Jinghong.

There's no way around it, I'm used to it. I just feel more at ease using someone else's identity.

Anyway, my cousin won't leave the Jade Realm, so I'm sure he won't mind.

As Ye Kang entered Jufeng City, he immediately sensed the aura of a powerful figure descending upon him.

Seemingly confirming that he was just a minor character, the aura vanished in an instant, but it still made Ye Kang frown.

Why is Jufeng City so sensitive? Why does a mere Star Luo martial artist like myself have to be on guard?

Just as he was wondering what was going on, he saw a group of martial artists gathering in front of him.

"There's a new notice again!"

"No way, it's only been a few days, how come there are so many cases all of a sudden?"

"Sigh, the Three Offices are really something, they still haven't caught anyone. I was already out enjoying the spring scenery with the beauties from the painting pavilion, but with this mess, how could I dare to go?"

A series of sighs came from behind, and Ye Kang couldn't help but walk over and grab a young martial artist dressed as a scholar.

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask what has happened?"

The scholar, who had been shaking his head and sighing, looked at Ye Kang with a puzzled expression upon hearing his words.

"You do not know?"

"I am a martial artist from Lingquan County, and I have just arrived in Jufeng City."

"Lingquan County... Alas, you've come at the worst possible time. You've fallen into the tiger's den. What a pity."

Ye Kang was even more confused: "What do you mean by this, fellow Daoist?"

The scholar pointed to a notice on the wall: "Look, the government has reported another case of a martial artist going missing. This is the thirteenth case in the past half month."

"what!"

Ye Kang's pupils constricted, and he felt disbelief.

Wasn't the Wu Dynasty supposed to be a peaceful and prosperous dynasty? How could there be missing martial artists?

Seeing Ye Kang's surprise, the scholar sneered: "You're unlucky. Most of the missing martial artists are lowly rogue cultivators, either impoverished or from families that have fallen on hard times. These people still have family members who can report to the Three Prefectures. As for those nameless, faceless, and familyless rogue cultivators, who knows how many there are?"

The scholar sighed, revealing the harshest truth.

Yes, all thirteen people who filed police reports had family members who were able to come and report the crime.

More often than not, people are people you don't even know, and you don't even know they've disappeared.

Therefore, the scholar's gaze towards Ye Kang revealed a sense of sympathy.

A lowly rogue cultivator from Lingquan County, with such weak cultivation, wouldn't he be the easiest target to strike?
