Su Yi’s gaze turned to the middle of the door and saw a black figure bending down and speaking respectfully. It was most likely a servant of the city lord’s mansion.

However, why was the city lord’s mansion looking for him now? Could it be…

He looked at the figure of the servant outside the door and spoke faintly, “I understand.”

Soon after, he tidied himself up and left the cultivation room. After that, he opened the door and saw an old servant appear in Su Yi’s eyes. He looked at Su Yi respectfully and did not smile at him because Su Yi was young.

“Young master Su, I am the steward of the city lord’s mansion. City lord Qin has something to discuss with you. Please come with me.”

His respectful words seemed to completely treat Su Yi as the young master of some big aristocratic family or something. However, he did not care about these details. Since the city lord had a request for him, there was no need to be humble.

He did not want others to think that he did not have the confidence to help.

It looked like he followed the butler. He passed through two courtyards and quickly arrived in front of the tallest and largest city lord official business building.

The butler came to the front door of the city lord official business building and reported.

“City lord, young master Su has arrived.”

Soon, a heavy voice came from inside. “Good! Quickly invite him in.”

This thick and heavy voice was the voice of city lord Qin Hao.

Soon after, the butler bowed slightly and made a gesture to invite the other party respectfully.

“Young master Su, the city lord is waiting for you in the hall. We still have some important matters to deal with, so we will take our leave first.”

As the butler left, Su Yi also stepped into the city lord’s official building. At that moment, a figure came forward to welcome him. It was the city lord of Qinyang City, Qin Hao. One could see his anxious expression.

After seeing Su Yi, his expression instantly turned into joy as he excitedly said, “lttle friend Su, you have finally arrived.”

Upon hearing this, his brows slightly lifted as his expression slightly hardened. Although this city lord’s appearance was a little rough, his thoughts were still sufficiently cautious. At the very least, he was definitely not as excited as he was today yesterday.

Could it be that something had happened?

His guess was indeed correct. A major incident had already happened in Qinwang Ridge. Otherwise, the city lord of Qinyang City would not have come looking for Su Yi in such an urgent manner.

He looked at Qin Hao with a suspicious expression and asked, “city lord Qin, with such a hurried expression, could it be that something major had happened?”

“Sigh, little friend Su, you really have good eyesight. Indeed, something big has happened.”

Qin Hao invited Su Yi to sit at a tea table and sighed.

“Today, there are reports again. In the Qinwang Ridge, a few more cultivators have gone missing. I’m afraid their immortal destiny seal has already been broken. Moreover, in Qinyang City, rumors are flying everywhere, saying that a great disaster is coming, causing everyone to be in a panic.”

As he spoke, a worried expression appeared on city lord Qin Hao’s face. He truly had his heart set on serving the people.

Regarding this, Su Yi could not help but sigh. In this world, such an official residence for the people was already very rare. Moreover, the other party had even offered a reward. If he could help, he would do his best to help.

Hence, he looked at Qin Hao and said, “what do you need me to do?”

The latter’s eyes lit up, as if he had been waiting for Su Yi’s words. He excitedly stood up from his chair, and his eyes were filled with excitement as he said, “little friend Su, I would like to invite you to go to Qinwang Ridge tomorrow, no, today. Please go over to find out the truth of the rumor. At the same time, Old Long and I will go with you. After all, this is your first time coming to Qinwang Ridge. There are some places that you are not familiar with.”

The Old Long that Qin Hao mentioned was the coachman from before.

Hearing this, Su Yi slightly raised his eyebrows and said lightly, “city lord Qin, I’m afraid the trip to Qinwang Ridge will take more than a day. If you follow me, won’t the affairs in the city be…”

He pointed at the stack of documents placed on the office desk not far away and asked. From the moment he entered the door, he saw a pile of documents. At a glance, it was simply a headache. It seemed that the position of city lord was not that easy.

Who knew that the city lord of Qinyang City would wave his hand and say, “it’s not too late to return after those trivial matters have been settled in Qinwang Ridge. If the Qinwang Ridge Matter is not settled, I won’t be able to feel at ease.”

He had a bitter expression on his face. If he, as the city lord, also had the strength of late stage foundation establishment or even completion, why would he need to be like this?

However, at the moment, he could only hope that Su Yi was as powerful as the rumors said.

Su Yi did not say anything. He was just an emotionless bounty hunter. As long as the other party paid him, he did not care.

…

That afternoon, the city lord of Qinyang City, Qin Hao, and the bodyguard, Old Long, left Qinyang City. The direction they were heading to was Qinwang Ridge.

Qinyang city was only a small city, and Qinwang Ridge was relatively close. There was no teleportation formation built at all.

This was because qi condensation realm cultivators only needed to walk for half a day to reach it, not to mention foundation establishment cultivators like Su Yi.

In just an hour and a half, they arrived at the foot of Qinwang Ridge.

The Qinwang Ridge range was endless. There were towering mountain peaks everywhere, and coniferous forests were situated in the middle of the mountain range.

A black fluid figure was the first to arrive on an ancient path on the upper ridge. One could only see Su Yi’s figure appear.

In a short while, two figures rushed over from behind him and similarly landed beside Su Yi.

They were the Qin Hao and Old Long. However, both of them were currently panting, as if the true essence’s supply was insufficient. Their faces were a little pale, and their lips were a little dry.

Qin Hao looked at Su Yi, who was slowly waiting for them, and could not help but laugh bitterly.

“Little friend Su, you really live up to your reputation. Just your speed and endurance are not something that ordinary cultivators can compare to.”

Qin Hao was also an experienced person. How could he not see that Su Yi had been giving in to them, and even gave them time to recover their true essence?

However, now that they had finally arrived, Qin Hao’s gaze gradually became solemn. His expression became serious as he spoke indifferently to Su Yi. “Little friend Su, this path is the ancient path that our team took on the upper ridge. It was as if they had encountered some strange thing along the way. In the blink of an eye, they all…”

As Qin Hao spoke, his gaze was filled with desolation and regret. If it was not for him and Old Long’s quick reaction that day, he might have also lost his life there.

Unfortunately, those brothers who had followed him for many years. After recalling for a moment, he sighed slightly and stopped thinking about the sad things from before.

When Su Yi heard this, his gaze became much more solemn. On the way here, he had already heard about it from the city lord of Qinyang.

That strange thing was invisible and formless. It was extremely similar to the legendary souls, ghosts, and the like.

However, was that possible?

One had to know that there was only one possibility for a soul to exist in this world, and that was a soul formation cultivator.

Such a terrifying cultivator was above the nascent soul stage!

The strength that he possessed was extremely terrifying. Hence, Su Yi immediately abandoned this thought. Then, there was another situation regarding ghosts and ghosts. It was obsession.

What was obsession? It was a strange energy formed from the extreme unwillingness or hatred of a person when they were alive.

After a long period of time, a ghost would form. However, this kind of strange talk was also hearsay. There were only such rumors and records among cultivators.

However, so what? He wanted to see just what kind of ghosts and monsters were in this rumor.

“Let’s go.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved and dashed out again.

Behind him, the city lord and Old Long looked at each other with determination and followed Su Yi.
