278: Chapter 42 Great Yue Kingdom_2 278: Chapter 42 Great Yue Kingdom_2 These iron cavalry, the ones I battled with in the mist…
there was no difference.
Yin Sha Condensation.
This is also a kind of existence for the remnants of soul thought.
“This Great Yue Kingdom, by all accounts, should have been completely destroyed.”
Xie Xuanyi frowned as he watched the iron cavalry depart.
He was somewhat puzzled.
The war between the ancient kingdom and the Dragon Descendants had ended, and from the outcome, it seemed both sides had suffered.
If the Dragon Descendants had won, this ancient kingdom would surely be obliterated.
If the Great Yue Kingdom had triumphed, this ancient city would not be buried underground, lying in desolation for so many years.
“Why do these iron cavalry harbour such strong resentment…
still patrolling the streets, upholding order?”
He looked at the black box in the palm of his hand, lost in thought.
A soft sound came from behind.
The dirty little girl, who had left and now returned, was tiptoeing out from the end of the alley, carefully reaching out two fingers to tug at the sleeve of Xie Xuanyi’s robe.
Was within the range of Xie Xuanyi’s Divine Thought.
Xie Xuanyi did not resist, nor did he summon his Flying Sword.
Instead of startling the child, he silently turned around, making eye contact and looking into the girl’s eyes, pure as Heart Lake.
a citizen of the Great Yue Kingdom?”
Xie Xuanyi crouched down, speaking gently.
The little girl just stood there calmly, neither nodding nor shaking her head.
She stretched out a hand and pointed in the direction where the iron cavalry had gone.
She gestured with her hands, making a cross with her arms.
Xie Xuanyi understood that the girl wanted to express that these Great Yue iron cavalry were very dangerous and to avoid contact with them at all costs.
“Can you understand what I’m saying?”
Seeing the confused look in the girl’s eyes, Xie Xuanyi already had his answer.
Just as he felt a tinge of regret, he suddenly remembered the “ancient history” recorded in the Lotus Peak archives.
The era a thousand years ago was extremely tumultuous and fascinating.
In that era, the citizens of various countries conversed using “Ancient Text.”
Xie Xuanyi tried speaking a few words in Ancient Text: “What about now?”
The little girl’s eyes no longer held confusion; she looked at Xie Xuanyi with surprise, her face full of disbelief.
Xie Xuanyi smiled: “Are you a citizen of the Great Yue Kingdom?
Are there others here?”
The little girl seemed to be mute.
She understood Xie Xuanyi’s questions, but could not reply, only gesturing animatedly with her hands.
Xie Xuanyi attempted to understand.
There must be others here.
She could lead him to them, but he needed to discard the black box first.
The girl’s gaze finally settled on the box in Xie Xuanyi’s arms, her expression becoming especially resolute.
“Is this box something bad?”
Xie Xuanyi was somewhat perplexed.
Seeing his confusion, the girl no longer tried to explain.
Instead, she tugged at Xie Xuanyi’s sleeve and started to run towards the direction from which the iron cavalry had departed.
Xie Xuanyi remained silent, simply following the mute girl.
Because of that war against the dragons.
The Great Yue Kingdom was already shattered to a great extent.
Everywhere one looked, there were only broken walls and ruins.
The girl was extremely familiar with the terrain, leaping and jumping around, leading Xie Xuanyi through a shortcut to arrive ahead of the iron cavalry on their inevitable path…
Here was a desolate, overgrown street, thick with fog and brimming with death.
Xie Xuanyi’s expression was somber.
How many people had died in the Great Yue Kingdom because of that war?
The intense deathly aura in these streets was appalling, perhaps unparalleled even in places where Evil Cultivators practiced.
Even with Divine Thought as powerful as Xie Xuanyi’s, he felt a chill in his Heart Lake.
On this desolate street.
Xie Xuanyi saw many wandering souls…
These were once the citizens of the Great Yue Kingdom, donning ancient-styled robes, ragged and tattered, unlike the girl.
These wandering Li Mei souls had lost their consciousness over the long years.
They were true “lonely ghosts.”
Wandering in the Black Evil and fog.
The sound of iron hooves rose, the patrolling iron cavalry tearing through the fog, stepping into the dark street haunted by the lonely ghosts.
The mute girl held her breath, pulling on Xie Xuanyi’s sleeve, her eyes sending a tense message to stay hidden…
Xie Xuanyi silently watched the direction of the street.
A wandering soul, attracted by the sound of the iron cavalry, changed direction.
It turned around, “slowly” approaching the iron cavalry.
A brilliant lance light erupted, as the tall cavalryman on horseback pierced the void with his spear, directly hoisting up the body of the Great Yue citizen.
Xie Xuanyi frowned at the scene.
The soul that blocked the path was pierced directly by a lance.
The lance swiped across.
This hapless soul without consciousness was torn in half!
What was happening, didn’t the Great Yue iron cavalry hunt dragons to protect their own citizens?
As protectors, would they just “kill” like that?
Has it been so long that the ancient kingdom’s laws of order have twisted under the enveloping Black Evil fog?
Xie Xuanyi turned his head to look, the mute girl silently clenched her fists, her face full of fear and apprehension.
Her purpose in bringing him here was to tell him…
the Great Yue iron cavalry were no “good people.”
Their own citizens, those who perished in the war and transformed into wandering Li Mei souls.
Were not the ones guarded by the iron cavalry.
As the iron cavalry departed, the street was filled with wandering ghosts…
The mute girl looked back at the wandering souls on the street with reluctance, just as she was about to pull Xie Xuanyi away.
