12: Sujia Village undergoes an unexpected transformation and is besieged.

After seeing Su Yun nod in agreement, An Yuyao led the group of five into Cangfeng City.

She intended to observe the city first and ask the locals to see if there were any unusual circumstances.

Upon entering Cangfeng City, Su Yun felt that the entire city was vastly different from before.

Cangfeng City used to be a very lively city of Mortals.

But now, the streets in the city were cold and deserted, shops had their doors tightly shut, and one could barely see a soul.

Seeing the attire of Su Yun and his group, a few people in the distance left in a panic, scrambling to get away.

Su Yun noticed that these people all shared a common trait on their faces: expressions of fear.

Arriving at an inn, An Yuyao stepped forward, wanting to book a few rooms for a temporary stay.

But as soon as they entered the inn, the innkeeper hurriedly closed the door, saying in a panicked voice.

"Customers, I am fully booked here, please go elsewhere."

An Yuyao had no choice but to lead the group to other inns.

However, the owners of the other inns used the same excuses to refuse them accommodation.

"Junior Brother Su Yun, what do you think?"

Having hit a wall everywhere, An Yuyao suddenly remembered that Su Yun's hometown seemed to be in a nearby mountain village, so he should be relatively familiar with the city, and hurriedly asked.

"Senior Sister An, this Cangfeng City used to be very lively; this current situation is clearly abnormal."

"I observed that it seems like half the people in the city are missing.

Just now, when passing by the City Lord's Mansion, there was actually no aura of any living person inside, and the city gates were also left unattended."

Su Yun stated his findings from just now.

"Senior Sister An, I would like to go to Su Family Village first to take a look."

"Then let us go to Su Family Village together; perhaps we will find some clues along the way."

An Yuyao furrowed her brows, clearly at a loss regarding the situation in the city.

After all, as Immortal Cultivators of the Righteous Path, they could not force Mortals to provide clues.

Therefore, going outside the city to take a look might yield unexpected gains.

...

Su Family Village was very close to Cangfeng City.

The group arrived near Su Family Village on their spirit swords; the once lively little village was now eerily silent.

"The smell of blood."

Relying on his amazing sense of smell, Su Yun sensed a heavy scent of blood.

Then, he increased the speed of his spirit sword and flew above Su Family Village.

Seeing this, An Yuyao and the others followed on their spirit swords.

"So many people died?"

"It is too terrifying."

The few male Cultivators in the team let out terrified cries.

Because the scene was too bloody, as if they had been gnawed on by wild beasts.

Upon seeing this scene, An Yuyao's little face also turned ghastly pale.

Although she was already a Cultivator at the Golden Core Stage.

But as a Young Miss of a Family, living a pampered life, when had she ever seen such a scene?

Su Yun, however, was somewhat angry at this moment.

Although he had not had many close friends in the village since he was young due to his introverted personality.

But at least it was his hometown where he had lived for over a decade, and the people in the village had very simple and honest natures.

In this world full of Immortal Cultivators, they lived in a relatively remote mountain village, leading a life free from worldly disputes.

Having lived two lifetimes, Su Yun quickly calmed down.

He decided that he must avenge the villagers.

Thinking of this, Su Yun jumped down from his spirit sword to help the villagers be laid to rest, and he erected a tombstone.

"Fellow villagers, I will find the murderer and avenge you all!"

Su Yun said solemnly before the tombstone.

Seeing Su Yun's series of actions, An Yuyao only felt that he was a person who valued relationships and loyalty.

He must be very sad right now; I should go and comfort him.

Thinking of this, An Yuyao walked up and gently patted Su Yun on the shoulder, comforting him:

"Junior Brother Su Yun, do not be sad; we will definitely help you find the murderer who killed them."

"That is right, Brother Su, we will also help you."

Hearing An Yuyao's words, the three male Cultivators hurriedly echoed.

"Thank you everyone, let us check the surrounding woods to see if there are any unusual circumstances now."

After Su Yun finished speaking, he took the lead and flew on his spirit sword toward the woods; seeing this, the others followed.

Just as the five of them had not entered the woods for long, pairs of scarlet eyes appeared in the pitch-black forest.

"Blood Fiend Beast."

Seeing these eyes, An Yuyao immediately recognized that these monsters were not Spirit Beasts, but Blood Fiend Beasts.

"Are Blood Fiend Beasts not specifically raised by Demon Cultivators?

Could the anomaly here be related to people from the Demon Sect?"

A knowledgeable male Cultivator said.

"Everyone, be careful!"

An Yuyao suddenly realized something and hurriedly called out a warning.

"Ah!"

A teammate at the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer let out a miserable scream.

The figure of a Blood Fiend Beast appeared behind him.

With one claw, the Blood Fiend Beast broke through his Spiritual Energy Barrier and pierced through his body.

The other two teammates at the Foundation Establishment Layer Two and Foundation Establishment Layer Seven were also directly killed by several Blood Fiend Beasts.

Two Blood Fiend Beasts also appeared beside Su Yun, and they charged directly toward him.

Su Yun, unhurried, circulated his spiritual power and unleashed the "Fivefold Fire Control Art" he had just learned not long ago.

Several red and white flames instantly appeared around him, and under his control, the flames accurately smashed onto the bodies of the Blood Fiend Beasts.

Under the illumination of the firelight, Su Yun finally saw the appearance of the Blood Fiend Beasts clearly.

The Blood Fiend Beasts were as large as tigers, but their entire bodies were blood-red.

Judging by the intensity of the spiritual power on them, these Blood Fiend Beasts were basically at the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer Realm.

After being hit by Su Yun's flame attack, the Blood Fiend Beasts let out miserable roars.

The powerful purification ability of the Glazed Sacred Fire caused the spiritual power throughout their bodies to be ignited.

Their entire bodies were instantly half-gone, charred all over, and they collapsed directly to the ground.

An Yuyao was also besieged by several dozen Blood Fiend Beasts.

As a Cultivator at the Golden Core Stage, she naturally did not fear a mere few dozen Blood Fiend Beasts of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

But it was precisely this delay that caused her to lose the opportunity to save the three Junior Brothers.

However, there was still one Junior Brother at the Foundation Establishment Layer One who had not yet died, and she decided that she must save that Junior Brother.

"Die!"

An Yuyao extended her jade hand and began to cast a Spell.

Immediately, several rays of golden light appeared around her.

Those golden lights transformed into meteors and charged directly toward the Blood Fiend Beasts.

The golden light exploded the instant it struck the Blood Fiend Beasts.

A moment later, all the Blood Fiend Beasts were blasted into ashes.

"Junior Brother Su Yun, are you alright?"

After An Yuyao finished off the Blood Fiend Beasts surrounding her, she flashed to Su Yun's side.

Seeing that Su Yun was safe and sound, she let out a sigh of relief.

But after seeing the several Junior Brothers lying on the ground not far away, her expression became sorrowful.

Seeing An Yuyao's expression, Su Yun guessed what she was thinking and hurriedly comforted her:

"Senior Sister An, this is not your fault; if you want to blame someone, blame the Demon Cultivators controlling these Blood Fiend Beasts."

"What we need to do now is find these Demon Cultivators and then avenge those who have died!"

After hearing Su Yun's words, An Yuyao suddenly felt a warmth in her heart.

Her heart, which had been somewhat bewildered, also slowly settled down.
