It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

The spiritual energy in the valley had almost completely dissipated by the time they left the pool.

Perhaps the spiritual energy here is what attracts them to Tianzheng Gate.

When the two left the mountains and returned to the village, they happened to meet a passing peddler.

From the peddler, I learned about the major events that had occurred within the dynasty in the past few days.

The dynasty's army suffered multiple attacks within the territory of Xichen.

The losses are said to be quite severe.

Many of the talented people in the dynasty disappeared overnight, and no one knew where they went.

To the south of the dynasty, a natural disaster struck, with the earth turning upside down.

A large number of people have been affected, and nearby cities are stepping up their disaster relief efforts.

As for the other events mentioned by the peddler, none of them were as important as these two.

"From the start of the war to getting bogged down in it, it didn't take long at all."

Did the Imperial Guards not detect any clues beforehand?

How could Jiang Li have become so impulsive?

Su Chen frowned, but he wasn't too worried.

Jiang Li isn't that stupid.

Perhaps the dynasty's army only encountered some minor obstacles.

The natural disaster on the south side seems to be quite severe.

The impact of this disaster is extremely widespread, and even with pre-emptive measures in place, it is still difficult to resettle all the victims in a short period of time.

On one hand, there is an unstoppable war; on the other hand, there is a sudden disaster.

Neither of them can be delayed any longer.

Handling two events simultaneously would be quite stressful for the dynasty, but it should be able to manage.

If, during this period, the North and South suddenly assemble their troops to take advantage of the chaos, it will be a severe test for the dynasty.

"It's impossible for Jiang Li not to have taken precautions in advance."

However, the situation inside Xichen is complicated, and it is estimated that Jiang Li will transfer many experts there.

Currently, the border is most likely only guarded by the military, with few top-tier experts stationed there.

Without realizing it, Su Chen had given Jiang Li a second thought.

Hua Jingyun suddenly leaned closer and said, "Let's go to the south."

"It's not... impossible."

"Then it's settled."

After receiving a definite answer, Hua Jingyun turned and left, leaving Su Chen standing there bewildered.

In his memory, Hua Jingyun had been taciturn during this period and always put himself first.

This is the first time I've proactively suggested going somewhere.

What Su Chen didn't know was that this peddler who suddenly appeared in the mountain village was actually a member of the Feather Guard.

Hua Jingyun has just received a request from Jiang Li.

Jiang Li hoped that the two of them could immediately go to the south to help Yu Wei suppress the situation.

With Jiang Li personally present in the north, there's no fear of Balth launching a surprise attack.

The sudden natural disaster in the southern town seemed somewhat unusual according to the investigation of the Feather Guard.

Nan Lang's figure was hidden among them.

There were a few Mo Yu guards on the south side, but relatively speaking, they were still martial artists in the traditional sense and did not have any extraordinary magic.

With their methods, they might not be able to deal with it.

In addition, a large number of talented individuals within the dynasty's borders were gathering in the capital, preparing to be transported to Xichen to relieve the army's predicament.

The towns to the south appeared to be in grave danger.

The two traveled very quickly, and what would have taken five days to arrive was halved in time.

Throughout the journey, Su Chen heard about the dire situation that had occurred after the earth dragon turned over.

But when he saw the refugees, he realized that the earthquake had affected far more people than he had imagined.

They had only just arrived at the unaffected periphery.

Several cities along the way were almost entirely filled with refugees.

These people were only the first group to escape from the disaster area.

Su Chen frowned. "Did you notice?"

There was an extremely faint demonic aura.

All the disaster victims had it on them.

Hua Jingyun nodded.

The demonic energy was unusually obvious, with no attempt to conceal it.

Clinging to the refugees, it is constantly converging on the city as they arrive.

This demonic energy is still somewhat weak now, but as refugees continue to gather, it will inevitably break through the threshold at some point and affect other people in the city.

"We need to find a way to eliminate the demonic energy, otherwise these cities will also become dangerous."

Su Chen spoke in a low voice, actually reminding Hua Jingyun to make a move.

"Dispelling the demonic energy is not difficult, but I don't know if someone is manipulating it behind the scenes."

Hua Jingyun nodded.

The demonic energy on the refugees is very weak and can be removed with a little effort.

However, it is unclear whether it was the people from Nanlang who took the initiative, based on the intelligence provided by the Feather Guard.

Somewhere in the southern region, a hidden ruin was unearthed by this natural disaster.

Or perhaps, it was a natural disaster deliberately caused by Nanlang.

Just like what Balthus did in the capital before the Lantern Festival.

"Whether someone is manipulating the situation or not, you'll know once you go into the disaster area and take a look."

The two continued their journey against the flow of refugees, heading towards the disaster-stricken area.

Meanwhile, Su Chen continued to communicate with these refugees along the way, and a clear framework quickly took shape in his mind.

However, before he could speak, Su Chen saw that Hua Jingyun had put a letter in her hand.

That appears to be something used by the Feather Guards to transmit messages.

Su Chen peeked over and saw that it contained everything he had investigated over the past two days, and even more details.

"A message from the Feather Guard."

People from Nanlang are active in the disaster area, but no traces of the ruins have been found yet.

However, judging from the trend, there's a high probability there will be a relic inside.

Hua Jingyun spoke directly to Su Chen.

"The Imperial Guard... sent you a message?"

Su Chen looked at Hua Jingyun with some disbelief.

Only someone at the Ink Feather level would have a chance to obtain such detailed information.

When did Hua Jingyun join the Feather Guard?

"I have the Ink Feather Token, isn't it normal for me to send messages?"

Before leaving the capital, Hua Jingyun made a special trip to Jiang Li and obtained Mo Yu's token from her.

Hua Jingyun has the right to command the other members of Moyu, but correspondingly, she also needs to help Jiang Li stabilize the situation at critical moments.

Just like now.

Su Chen was a little puzzled. When did Hua Jingyun and Jiang Li's relationship become so good?

If the two of them get back together, what will happen to him?

"The guards are trying to find a way to drag out all the people from Nanlang one by one."

At the very least, they should be deported.

However, they were all just simple martial arts practitioners, lacking in skill.

The losses were significant, and the results were poor.

Most of the people sent by Nanlang have some connection with demonic cultivators.

Apart from Mo Yu, the other guards were all just mortals.

Dealing with people like that will still put you at a disadvantage.

"We need to go deeper and help the guards drive the people away."

……

"General, the entire area has been scouted."

Nothing was found at the expected location.

Inside a dilapidated temple near a village on the south side, more than ten people were gathered. They were all dressed in clothing characteristic of Nanlang, and their eyes looked somewhat fierce; they were clearly not honest people.

The original dilapidated temple was torn to pieces by them.

Only the remaining remains can show what this place was like.

"Keep looking!"

The bearded man at the head of the group said somewhat irritably.
