Chapter 3330: Chapter 3330: Nearly Chased to Death
"Still waiting for news, haven’t seen a single living person."
Min Yi was speechless. If he didn’t know there were still quite a few people at the city gate, he would have thought Rock City was a dead city. Not a single person in sight, not even the Evil Cultivation patrols.
Those who came out to hear Min Yi discuss the situation: "..."
A false alarm, it seems the situation in the Inner City is worse than they imagined, not a single living soul to be seen.
"Previously, many Sect Disciples attempted to break into the Inner City but failed, always ignorant of the situation in there. Didn’t expect things to be this bad."
A newly arrived Sect Disciple sighed and said.
He’s the only one left from his Sect. He learned the Tracking Technique to run fast enough, surviving alone. He wondered how he’ll explain to the Sect Master and Elders upon his return.
"Perhaps it’s not as bad as we think, it’s just nighttime, and the citizens are too afraid to come out," Qian Yizheng said.
With so many Evil Cultivators around, who would dare venture out at night? Come morning, they might gather some information.
"Tonight, let’s rest early and plan tomorrow," he said.
No choice, everyone agreed. Without seeing a single person, what else could they do? Tomorrow, capture an Evil Cultivator for inquiry.
...
The next day they discovered the situation in the Inner City was far worse than imagined.
The citizens were scared to move, not daring to casually come out. Except for shops mandated by the City Lord Residence to remain open, citizens must not leave their homes.
Even daily necessities, food, and drinks are purchased during fixed times.
Furthermore, if any commotion occurs during shopping, they might be killed, risking their entire family’s lives.
Not to mention the nighttime, who dared come out? When it got dark, they went to sleep; it wasn’t about whether the lights were off or not, because the citizens didn’t dare light lamps at home.
Min Yi was the first to leave as usual, but hadn’t gone far before detected by Evil Cultivators.
Then, chased down several streets, unable to shake them off, almost losing his breath, it was exhausting.
"Can’t take it anymore, are they bred as hunting dogs? They chase so relentless!"
Finally shaking off the Evil Cultivators an hour later. Had he not been quick-witted, he’d be captured on the spot earlier.
"Big brother, thank you! If it weren’t for you, I’d be caught by the Evil Cultivators,"
He thanked the man who opened the door for him to hide. He realized in the Inner City, these Evil Cultivators might lack other talents, but their pursuit skills are remarkably advanced.
He almost shook them off several times, yet kept being tracked; it’s truly uncanny.
"Young brother, you better hurry. Those Evil Cultivators have treasures that can track scents, they’ll catch up soon, better get going."
The man, seeing how breathless he was, expected no reward, merely urged him.
"Track scents? No wonder."
Min Yi understood, it wasn’t his lack of skill, but the treasure they held sensed his presence.
"Big brother, wait a moment, I’ll be right back."
