Chapter 98: Chapter 93: Ruined village.

Yao Jun and Guo Luo left the city and returned to the spot where Little Gray had landed earlier. Yao Jun did not bring out Little Gray, but brought out Little Thunder instead. Yao Jun wanted Little Gray to get some rest, so he chose to have them ride Little Thunder instead.

Little Thunder was a little over three meters in length, so there was plenty of room for Yao Jun and Guo Luo on his back. If they were still on the Guanyu continent, Yao Jun would be very careful about riding Little Thunder, but there was no need to be too worried about it here on the Yang continent.

The continent was currently in chaos because of the massive Demonic beast, with most people trying to leave the continent as fast as possible. With Guo Luo using her illusions to cover up their features and making them look like they belonged to the Demon Race, the chance of someone stopping them was quite low. After all, the Demon Race was known for being able to summon Demonic beasts.

"Go."

Yao Jun grabbed onto Little Thunder's horns, and Guo Luo wrapped her arms around his waist, snuggling up against him. Yao Jun ignored the soft sensation on his back and gate Little Thunder a soft pat on the head as he gave the order.

Little Thunder let out a loud roar and immediately moved towards the east at full speed. Despite the chance of them being stopped being quite low, Yao Jun did not choose to travel on the road. He made Little Thunder run through the forests and more unpopulated areas, ensuing that they would not encounter others.

Little Thunder moved so fast that the surroundings turned blurry, making it impossible for Yao Jun and Guo Luo to see what was around them. But Yao Jun was connected to Little Thunder through not just his mind, but even his soul now. So he just needed to let Little Thunder know where they had sensed Yun Yantian awaken, and Little Thunder would stop there automatically.

Normally it would take a few days of walking to get to the place where Yao Jun had sensed Yun Yantian awaken, but with Little Thunder running there at full speed, it only took them two days. The place where they ended up was a small village located in a forest.

The buildings in the village were made out of either wood and stone, each one round in shape and only consisting of one floor. The roofs were made out of wooden planks covered in dried grass and straw. The village looked like it would have surely been a charming place to spend a few days of rest.

But that was now all in the past, the village was now completely in ruins. Not a single house was still intact, the wooden houses were all burnt black, while all the stone houses had been completely crushed. The stench of blood and rot still hung in the air as there were corpses, both Human Race and Demon Race, littering the ground all around the village.

Yao Jun had been prepared that something might have happened, but he had never expected it to be something like this. He quickly hopped off Little Thunder's back and searched the bodies on the ground He only heaved a sigh of relief when he did not find Yun Yantian's body.

"What happened here?"

Guo Luo and Little Thunder came walking over after Yao Jun finished searching the bodies. Guo Luo couldn't help but cover her mouth as she asked, her eyes red and moist. There were corpses everywhere, young and old, men and women, no one had been spared it seemed.

"It was the Guo clan."

Before Yao Jun could say anything, a soft voice rang out from one of the ruined buildings not far from them. Hearing this voice, while Guo Luo and Little Thunder tensed up, Yao Jun couldn't help but furrow his brows.

"Why are you here, Wan Yi?"

Yao Jun turned toward the ruined building as he spoke. As he spoke, Wan Yi came walking out from the ruined building. Wan Yi was no longer clad in the fur robes that she wore the previous times Yao Jun had met her, she wore a much simpler and plain black robe instead.

"Do you know what this village was?"

Wan Yi did not immediately answer Yao Jun, she instead walked closer as she spoke, sweeping the entire village with her eyes. As he looked at her, Yao Jun could detect a deep sadness within her eyes.

"This village was created by my mother, it was a village where the two races could live together in peace, much like Xieren City. But this village was for everyone, not like Xieren City, where only those with money or status can live. My mother dedicated her entire life to creating villages like this."

Wan Yi did not wait for Yao Jun to answer before she continued talking. She walked over to one of the corpses and placed her hand on it's face, closing it's eyes. She closed her own eyes and muttered a small prayer.

"Someone told the Guo clan that Yun Yantian holds a God Gate, causing them to send out a large group of people to hunt him down. They found Yun Yantian in this village, and proceeded to attack. Yun Yantian teamed up with one of the people who lived in this village, and together they managed to flee. I do not know where they traveled after that."

Wan Yi turned towards Yao Jun after she finished muttering the small prayer. When she spoke of the Guo clan, her eyes were practically blazing with flames. Her entire body exuded a dense killing intent.

"How do you know that? And why are you here? I don't imagine the Demon Race would send you to a dangerous place like this continent. And why are you telling me all this?"

Yao Jun furrowed his brows even more after hearing her words. He did not doubt her words, lying to him would gain her nothing. He could not help but worry after hearing her words. Someone had told the Guo clan that Yun Yantian had a God Gate. Who knew about it? Why had they told the Guo clan?

"I know what has happened here because my Soul Beast allows me to temporarily summon the souls of people who recently died. I asked one of the people from this village what happened. He said that one of the people from the Guo clan said that they would put Yun Yantian's God Gate to better use."

As Wan Yi spoke, she raised her left hand. Black smoke rose up from her left hand, turning into a small black crow that flew around her hand. The feathers on the crows back were white and formed the shape of a skull. A wailing sound could be heard wherever the crow flew. Yao Jun had read about this Demonic beast before, it was called a Reaper Crow, it sustained itself by eating dead souls.

"As for why I am here, it is because I have been banished by the Demon Race. One of my recent actions broke the law of the Demon Race, so they banished me once they found out. And I am telling you all this because of two reasons."

Wan Yi shrugged her shoulders as she spoke, pretending like she didn't care. She had sent her people to impersonate Yao Jun and kill several people, but her plan had backfired. One of her men turned out to be a spy for one of her rivals, who then promptly reported her actions to the elders. She was accused of treason and then banished from the Demon Race.

"One. You want to find Yun Yantian and keep him safe, I don't want him to fall into the hands of the Guo clan, so our goal is the same. Two. You have a grudge with the Guo clan because they tortured you, I have a grudge with them because they destroyed something my mother dedicated her entire life to. Once more, our goals align. I have nowhere else to go, let me travel with you."
