Chapter 780 The city died in vain
Chen Yile's mind moved: "Could it be that the mark on my palm is related to the Yin-Yang Hub?"
Yan Zhen nodded. "It's very likely. Perhaps this is why the Ten Kings of Hell sent Li Xixi to investigate. It seems our next mission is not only to find a way to resurrect Lin Qingyao, but also to find a way to repair the Yin-Yang Hub."
Chen Yile and Yan Zhen stood in the wilderness outside Wrongful Death City, gazing at the blood-red city in the distance. A thick, sinister aura hung in the air, and the occasional cries of wronged souls sent a chill down their spines. They had just experienced a thrilling battle, and the attack from the Pterosaur had made them realize that the dangers ahead were far more formidable than they had imagined.
"Next is the City of the Wrongly Dead," Yan Zhen whispered, his gaze fixed on the distant city wall. "Countless souls of those who died unjustly gather there. If we accidentally touch their obsessions, the consequences will be disastrous."
Chen Yile nodded, but he felt a faint unease in his heart. He looked down at the gold and silver mark on his palm. The mark was still slightly warm, as if reminding him of something.
"Let's go." He said, and took the lead to walk towards the City of the Dead.
The walls of the City of the Dead are hundreds of feet high and appear a strange blood-red color.
The city gates were wide open, and countless wronged souls poured out, each with a look of deep resentment and unwillingness on their faces.
Chen Yile and Yan Zhen had to mobilize their spiritual power to protect their bodies so as not to be invaded by the obsession of the wronged souls.
"The yin energy here is too strong," Yan Zhen said with a frown. "If an ordinary person stumbles into this place, they'll probably be torn to pieces on the spot."
Chen Yile tightened the Red Flame Spirit Fire in his hand, feeling the fluctuations coming from the mark on his palm: "We have to be careful."
The two carefully crossed the sea of wronged souls and finally arrived at the streets of the City of the Dead.
The street was lined with dilapidated houses, the walls covered with black vines, and bursts of low whimpering sounds could be heard from time to time.
"Everything here exudes a strange atmosphere." Chen Yile whispered, "I always feel like someone is watching us in secret."
Just as the two were about to investigate further, a shrill scream suddenly came from the front. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman being chased by a giant pterosaur.
The woman was none other than Li Xixi, the princess of Chujiang!
Li Xixi looked particularly embarrassed.
The coldness and majesty just now were gone, replaced by a face full of fatigue and despair.
Her long hair hung disheveled on her shoulders, her blue-black dress was stained with dirt and blood, her jade fan was badly damaged, and her eyes revealed an unprecedented helplessness and confusion.
Chen Yile and Yan Zhen looked at each other and rushed forward without hesitation.
Chen Yile urged the red flame spirit fire to transform into a fire dragon to fight against the Demon Winged Dragon King, while Yan Zhen swung his sword to cut at the Demon Winged Dragon King's vital points.
The Winged Dragon King roared angrily, and his huge wings stirred up a gust of wind, blowing the wronged souls on the street away in all directions.
Chen Yile's fire dragon engaged in a fierce battle with the Demon Winged Dragon King, and Yan Zhen seized the opportunity to stab the Demon Winged Dragon King's heart with a sword.
The Demon Winged Dragon King let out a shrill scream, and his huge body fell to the ground with a bang. Only then did Chen Yile and Yan Zhen breathe a sigh of relief.
"Why...why did you save me?" Li Xixi asked, panting, with a complicated look in her eyes.
Chen Yile shook his head: "No matter what, you are also the daughter of Lord Yan." He paused, "Besides, we also hope that you will not obstruct us."
After hearing this, Li Xixi's eyes flashed with gratitude, but it was quickly replaced by coldness: "I will remember your kindness."
She pointed at the body of the Pterosaur and said, "This Pterosaur suddenly changed its temperament just now. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have died."
"How could this happen?" Li Xixi murmured softly, her voice trembling slightly. "This Demon Winged Dragon King has always been so docile, why would he suddenly attack me?"
She recalled the scene just now, and she was still frightened. After arriving at the City of the Dead, the Demon Winged Dragon King's temperament suddenly changed drastically, with a strange red light flashing in his eyes, completely unlike his usual docile and obedient self.
It opened its bloody mouth and attacked her mercilessly, as if it wanted to tear her into pieces.
Li Xixi tried to use the jade fan to drive away the Demon Winged Dragon King, but the power of the rune seemed to be ineffective, and the Demon Winged Dragon King ignored her orders. She could only barely cast spells to protect herself, but she was ultimately outnumbered and retreated under the siege of the Demon Winged Dragons.
"If you hadn't arrived in time..." Li Xixi looked at Chen Yile and Yan Zhen, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes, "I'm afraid I would have died here."
Chen Yile and Yan Zhen looked at each other, and they both knew Li Xixi's mood at the moment. Although they were in an opposing relationship, at such a critical moment, any hostility seemed insignificant.
"I'm glad you're okay." Chen Yile said calmly, with a hint of concern in his tone, "Now we need to figure out why the Demon Winged Dragon King suddenly attacked and hurt people."
Li Xixi nodded: "Yes, this Demon Winged Dragon King is the mount I have tamed since childhood. It has always been very docile. There must be a reason for its abnormal behavior this time."
"Could it be... someone is manipulating all this behind the scenes?" Li Xixi thought to herself, scanning her surroundings with vigilance. "If that's the case, I must find out the truth as soon as possible."
Yan Zhen walked to the body of the Demon Winged Dragon King, squatted down and examined it carefully. His brows were tightly furrowed and his eyes were flashing with brilliance.
Yan Zhen approached the body of the magic pterosaur and examined it carefully.
He discovered that there were several strange rune marks on the body of the magic pterosaur, and these runes seemed to be forcibly controlling the behavior of the magic pterosaur.
"There's something wrong with these runes," he said with a frown. "Someone is controlling the Winged Demon Dragon King. It seems the attack just now wasn't accidental."
When Li Xixi heard this, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes: "Are you saying that someone deliberately controlled the magic pterosaur to attack me?"
Yan Zhen nodded: "It is very likely. Although the Demon Winged Dragon King is ferocious by nature, it will not attack its master without any external force controlling it."
Li Xixi was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke: "It seems that coming to the City of the Dead is not that simple this time. Perhaps... someone wants to kill me."
Yan Zhen nodded: "That's right, someone must have cast some kind of spell on the Demon Winged Dragon King, causing it to lose its mind."
When Li Xixi heard this, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes: "Who is it? Who dares to cast such a spell on my Demon Winged Dragon King?"
Yan Zhen continued to carefully examine the body of the Demon Winged Dragon King, trying to find more clues. He found that the runes were not only engraved on the body of the Demon Winged Dragon King, but also penetrated into its bones and blood.
"These runes have penetrated into the bones of the Demon Winged Dragon King." Yan Zhen frowned and said, "This means that the caster has exercised long-term control over the Demon Winged Dragon King."
