I can bless thousands of magical powers.

The sky was not yet bright, the fire was not out, the meat was gone, and the wine was dry.

Yan Bei was still in high spirits.

This chivalrous hero probably hadn't had such a long conversation with someone for a long time, or maybe he felt like he had known Zhang Yuan for a long time at first sight, so he completely opened up to him.

Yan Bei was born into a local gentry family. He was obsessed with martial arts since childhood and was willing to spend all his money to learn advanced skills.

In addition, he was a generous and righteous person, so he squandered all the family wealth just after he became an adult.

But Yan Bei didn't care at all. Instead, he went about the world in a carefree manner.

He has been wandering around the world for more than 20 years.

He had witnessed the wind and snow in the north, and appreciated the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River. He had walked alone in the desert and Gobi, and had crossed the endless forest. He had made many friends and killed countless enemies.

And in the past ten years, Yan Bei has been looking for an opportunity to enter a trance.

His own martial arts have been cultivated to the highest level, but he is still one step away from breaking through the barrier of the sixth level.

A month ago, Yan Bei encountered a fleeing group during his journey and learned that Yongzhou was hit by a severe drought and countless people were displaced.

With a chivalrous heart, this level six warrior changed direction and entered the territory of Yongzhou.

It turned out that there might be another story behind this natural disaster.

So Yan Bei decided to find out the truth.

"I'm not alone."

The chivalrous hero finally said to Zhang Yuan: "I believe that no one can cover the sky with one hand!"

His two sentences are very meaningful.

Zhang Yuan remembered it in his heart and nodded silently.

"All right."

Yan Bei stood up, his sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the barriers of the houses and look towards a distant place.

The darkest time before dawn had just passed, and the eastern skyline was turning a little pale.

The chivalrous hero said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhang Yuan, I have to go. The road ahead is long. We will meet again later!"

Zhang Yuan stood up and clasped his fists: "Take care!"

It is very common for people of all walks of life to meet each other by chance.

Sitting and talking for a whole night is already a great fate!
Yan Bei nodded slightly, and with a flash of his body, he quietly rushed out of the county government compound.

He disappeared from Zhang Yuan's sight in an instant.

Zhang Yuan continued to guard the burning bonfire until dawn, then he left Qingshui County.

His next destination was Yongping Prefecture.

The distance between Qingshui County and Yongping Prefecture is only more than 200 miles, and they can be transported by both land and water, and are connected by a highway.

Zhang Yuan rode a gray-fanged lynx and galloped along the official road.

It took only over an hour before they could see the majestic and magnificent city in the distance.

But what Zhang Yuan didn't expect was that he encountered a checkpoint ten miles away from the city.

A team of fully armed soldiers were standing behind the iron barbed wire, completely blocking the official road, with a pergola set up next to it.

"Stop whoever comes!"

One of the soldiers stepped forward and shouted at Zhang Yuan who was rushing towards him: "This road is blocked!"

Zhang Yuan had an idea when he saw this, and controlled the Gray-fang Lynx to rush in front of the opponent, then suddenly stopped.

Because of his ferocious attack and the majestic gray-fang lynx, it is very impactful.

The soldier who was blocking the way was suddenly frightened out of his wits. He staggered back subconsciously and almost fell to the ground.

"Be bold!"

This angered the soldiers behind the barricades, and they raised their weapons one after another, cursing. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense!
Although the soldiers guarding the checkpoint all looked ferocious.

But their slightly trembling hands and feet, and their wandering eyes, still revealed their inner emotions.

The reason is very simple. Although Zhang Yuan looks ordinary, the gray-fanged lynx he rides is extremely powerful. How can someone who can control such a ferocious beast be an ordinary person?

There are more than a dozen soldiers in this team, and they might not be enough for Zhang Yuan to defeat with just one hand!

oh~
The next moment, the Gray-fanged lynx, which was ordered to stop charging, suddenly opened its bloody mouth and let out a low roar.

Dozens of soldiers were suddenly struck by lightning, or as if their brains were penetrated by devilish sound. They were dumbfounded and scared out of their wits.

Some of the weak-willed ones couldn't help but drop their weapons.

The ground below is already wet!
"stop!"

At this moment, a figure rushed out from the shed and stood in front of the chevaux de frise.

The other party was wearing Ming Guang armor and a python scale sword on his waist. He was obviously a lieutenant in the army.

He clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Sir, there has been a plague in Yongping Prefecture recently. People are currently strictly prohibited from entering or leaving to prevent the spread of the disease."

"We are here to obey your orders. If we have offended you, I hope you will understand!"

Yongping Plague?

This is really a coincidence!

Zhang Yuan originally wanted to go to this city to take a look at the situation. The center of a city would not be an empty city.

But I didn't expect such a situation to happen.

His mind raced, and he replied calmly, "I see. Sorry to bother you."

After saying that, Zhang Yuan squeezed his legs lightly. The gray-fanged lynx, who was in telepathic communication with him, glanced at him coldly, then turned around and galloped back the way he came.

The captain watched Zhang Yuan leave and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

But in fact, Zhang Yuan didn't run far at all.

After riding the Gray-fanged Lynx for about ten miles, he turned into a nearby country road.

Soon, Zhang Yuan arrived at a village.

This village is quite large, with hundreds of mud and thatched houses. It should be quite prosperous as it is adjacent to the provincial capital.

However, there was no one inside, just like the villages and farms of all sizes that Zhang Yuan had seen along the way.

Perhaps all the villagers have fled, or they may no longer be here!

Zhang Yuan chose a house that looked pretty good and moved in as his temporary residence.

Then he switched his perspective to the Red-Eyed Crow, and observed or spied on the Yongping City through this intermediate-level mysterious spirit!

With Zhang Yuan’s current strength, he wants to break into the city by force or sneak in.

The soldiers before could not have stopped it.

But doing so would easily alert the enemy and would not be convenient for finding out the truth.

So he decided to monitor secretly first and use the ability of the Red Eyed Crow to look for possible clues.

Zhang Yuan's intuition told him that there might be something else going on in Yongping City, and it was definitely not as simple as an epidemic.

Or maybe the plague is just a made-up lie!

Under his control, the red-eyed crow spread its wings and flew straight into the sky.

It climbed to a height of several hundred feet before this intermediate-level mysterious spirit fully spread its wings and quietly glided towards the Yongping city.

A level five Red-Eyed Crow possesses a very high level of spirituality. Its flying ability has been greatly enhanced, and its perception and insight have also been improved simultaneously. Therefore, even at high altitudes, it can see the situation on the ground clearly.

Out of caution, Zhang Yuan did not rashly let the red-eyed crow fly directly over the city. (End of this chapter)
