Chapter 139: Strange Town

At this moment, Long Aotian felt incomparable pain throughout his body. His meridians had also been injured by the backlash and he was almost unable to circulate his spirit energy.

Long Aotian had never thought that he would one day be severely injured by such a backlash, let alone in a situation where the opponent had just been standing still!

Not even a Grand Saint Stage expert couldn’t do it, right?

What kind of monster was this Brother Qin?

Enduring the intense pain, Long Aotian wanted to get up from the ground, but he realized that he couldn’t use his strength at all, especially the arm that he had just punched. It was basically useless now.

With such heavy injuries, even if he was a Saint Stage expert, he would need at least half a month to recover.

Could it be that he now had to return home after having just left?

Buzz!

Right at this moment, a golden mist of light rained down on his body and fused with his skin.

These golden raindrops contained an unbelievable healing ability. His shattered bones began to connect at a visible speed, and his meridians quickly recovered to their original state. In less than a moment, Long Aotian had completely recovered.

“This..”

Long Aotian widened his eyes in disbelief, his heart filled with shock. He had actually recovered just like that?

“How did you do it?”

Long Aotian took a deep breath and couldn’t help but ask.

It was too miraculous!

Even with Long Aotian’s status, he had never seen such a technique before.

One had to know that his father was the current master of the Immortal Sacred Land, the most powerful existence in the Spirit Central World.

Even so, even his father couldn’t help him recover in such a short period of time. Could it be that the other party was even stronger than his father?

Are you kidding me?

“You don’t have to know that. Just remember, you lost fair and square. Now, you can stop following us.”

After saying this, Qin Jue ignored Long Aotian and directly turned to leave with Su Yan.

Watching Qin Jue leave, Long Aotian was stunned for a long time before he reacted. “Too powerful. Looks like I have to continue to cultivate diligently. However, one day, I will surpass you!”

At this point, Long Aotian’s eyes became incomparably firm. He then changed directions and flew into the distance.

Since the other party was able to beat him just by standing still, how could he have the nerve to continue tailing?

..

After getting rid of Long Aotian, Qin Jue and Su Yan headed north. Perhaps it was because they were close to the Immortal Sacred Land, the surrounding cities were rather prosperous, and high-level cultivators could be seen everywhere.

It was even possible to see people killing each other to snatch treasures.

This was also a characteristic of the world of cultivation. In a world without rules, the strong would naturally oppress the weak. The situation would only be better if it was within the jurisdiction of a large faction.

The two of them stayed in a few large cities for a few days before continuing forward.

Ever since he confirmed Long Zhen’s transmigrator identity, Qin Jue could be said to have become completely relaxed. As for the Pure Yang Sacred Land, since he had already handed the matter to his incarnation, he now only needed to focus on enjoying his travels.

On this day, the two of them passed through a city and arrived outside a boundless desert.

Unlike Earth, the desert here was filled with all kinds of huge plants, and danger was everywhere. If one was careless, they might be killed by poisonous insects that crawled out from the sand.

Therefore, to low-level cultivators, the desert was no different from a land of death.

“The Outer Realm Desert?”

Qin Jue took out the spirit tablet that Long Zhen had given him and quickly found the name of this desert.

However, he couldn’t find anything else other than the name.

However, this was normal. After all, there were no satellites in this world that could accurately provide geographical information.

The reason why Qin Jue came here was actually because he didn’t plan to go back the same way he came. That would be too boring, so he chose to take a detour.

He just forgot to check the information in advance and did not know that there was a desert in this direction.

Since he was already here, he might as well go in and experience the desert’s charm.

He just didn’t know if there were any Snake-People in this world’s desert.

“Master, it’s so hot here.”

Yun Xi lay on Qin Jue’s head, her little face drooping as she said lifelessly.

No matter what, she was still a manifestation of a spirit herb. Although she had already advanced to level three and was not inferior to a human Earth Stage cultivator, she would still be dispirited if she stayed in such a place for too long.

Qin Jue was stunned and almost forgot about this little fellow. He waved his hand, and a layer of golden light immediately wrapped around Yun Xi, emitting a dense spirit qi.

“Hiss.”

Yun Xi was overjoyed and hurriedly took a deep breath, causing her spirit to recover.

“Senior, there’s a city there.”

Suddenly, Su Yan pointed into the distance.

With her cultivation at the early-phase of the Supreme Stage, the impact this harsh environment had on her was basically negligible. As long as her spirit energy was abundant, she could even stay here for decades without eating or drinking.

Hearing this, Qin Jue raised his eyes and looked over. Sure enough, he saw a city. However, instead of calling it a city, it was more like a small town because there were only a few dozen simple wooden houses.

“We should go and take a look.”

Qin Jue didn’t think too much about it and flew towards the town.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at the town. However, the strange thing was that there was no one in the town. It was terrifyingly quiet.

“Is anyone here?”

Su Yan called out, but no one answered.

“Could this be an abandoned town?”

Su Yan frowned.

Creak.

Qin Jue casually pushed open a door and found that the things inside were all intact. There was no spider web, no dust, and even the ingredients were very fresh.

This meant that this place was not abandoned.

Since it wasn’t abandoned, why wasn’t anyone here?

historical

Even if the inhabitants had gone out, it was impossible for them to leave no one behind, right?

Qin Jue pushed open a few more doors one after another. Just like the first room, the people here seemed to have evaporated into thin air, leaving nothing behind.

“Hmm?”

Qin Jue glanced at them from the corner of his eyes and suddenly discovered that there was a thin layer of sand on the floor of these rooms, but this was a desert, so it wasn’t strange for there to be a layer of sand.

“Could they have been attacked by fiend beasts?”

Su Yan took a guess.

Apart from poisonous insects and snakes, there were also many fiend beasts in the desert. Furthermore, the outer armor of the fiend beasts here was extremely hard, allowing them to burrow into the sand to launch sneak attacks. They were extremely terrifying.

“Impossible. If it was a fiend beast, the entire town would have been razed to the ground. Moreover, there are no signs of battle here.”

“That’s true.” Su Yan nodded slightly.

The fiend beasts weren’t the type to show mercy.

“Let’s wait and see.”

Finally, Qin Jue made a decision.

However, until the next day, no one appeared. Qin Jue and Su Yan could only leave, and this strange town regained its calm as if no one had ever visited it.

Over the next few days, the two of them saw the same town again. There was still no sign of anyone, but all the buildings were intact. It was simply too strange.

Clearly, something major had happened in this desert recently.

However, this had nothing to do with Qin Jue. Just as he felt a little bored and planned to directly teleport out with Su Yan. Before he could do that, however, an air-transportation spirit artifact appeared on the horizon and suddenly stopped when it passed by them.
