Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 139 Searching
Lan Tian sent his thoughts to the Holy Mountain Time-Space Ring, and a bright white light shone out. He instantly teleported away and reappeared in Luoyi City of the Luoyi Empire. This was a teleportation point that Lan Tian had set up in Luoyi City. It was a secluded place with no one to disturb him. It was a perfect spot to observe the current situation in the city. This was a small hill in the city, from which one could overlook the entire city.

Lan Tian paused for a moment, regaining his calm state of mind. He then dressed himself up a bit, and it was only by careful observation that one could not recognize him as Lan Tian. This advancement to the Venerable Realm had changed Lan Tian's physique and appearance, and it was indeed impossible to tell that this was the same Lan Tian as before without careful observation.

He didn't linger, using his time-travel ability to arrive on the main street. Nothing had changed; the atmosphere was still bustling, and everyone was busy with their tasks. There were no signs of war, which reassured Lan Tian. The Luo Yi Empire and the Shura Empire hadn't yet gone to war, and people's lives remained unaffected.

Lan Tian's first thought was to see his master, Zhao Qingyun. He wondered where Zhao Qingyun was now, whether he was in the Shura Empire or not.
Lan Tian activated the portal to teleport himself to Zhao Qingyun's training room in the Spirit Hall in Luoyi City. Usually, only he and Lan Tian would come here to train.

It's a pity that Master Zhao Qingyun isn't here. It seems like no one has been here for a while! Could it be that Master hasn't returned from the Asura Empire yet?

Lan Tian could only go to the main hall to inquire about his master. He wondered how much time had passed and how his master and the others were doing. He hoped nothing bad had happened to them. When they entered the Holy Mountain, a sudden change was taking place outside; a mutiny had occurred in the Shura Empire's palace. He wondered what had happened afterward.

Inside the main hall, Lan Tian learned that a full year had passed since everyone entered the Holy Mountain. The Blue Card Continent had undergone a dramatic change; the Shura Empire's royal wars were ongoing, with neither side able to gain the upper hand. The Shura Empire had split into two factions vying for control of the empire. One side was the former Crown Prince Luo Meng, and the other consisted of his brothers and sisters. The Shura Empire's emperor had passed away, and the region was now in chaos, with constant warfare and people living in dire straits.

Lan Tian thought of Hai Liang and Cao Yuqing, wondering how they were doing! They were deeply involved in this conflict, and she wondered how they were faring!
I heard that Master Zhao Qingyun was seriously injured in the Holy Mountain competition and was also injured by a high-level expert sent by the Crown Prince in the royal war of the Shura Empire. He has returned to Nalan City to recuperate in seclusion.

Now that Master is alright, Lan Tian is really worried about Hai Liang and Cao Yuqing's safety. They should belong to the opposing side of the Crown Prince's faction in the Shura Empire, and should be helping other royal families. I wonder where they are now? Are they alright? How are they doing? Are they in any danger? This is something Lan Tian is very concerned about.

We should go to the Asura Empire and find them to bring them back.

Previously, Lan Tian and his group had left the Shura Empire to participate in the competition for the Holy Mountain, leaving behind many spacetime teleportation points within the Shura Empire. With Lan Tian's current cultivation level, he can easily teleport between these points without expending any energy, thanks to his control over the power of time and space.

With a single turn, Lan Tian vanished, disappearing in an instant. He reappeared in Shura City of the Shura Empire. This was the place Lan Tian had set up in Shura City to meet Hai Liang and the others.

Right now, there's nothing there; the surroundings are completely empty, a desolate wasteland. There are no marks or contact information left by Hai Liang and her group. To find them, we'll have to search within their territory.

The current Shura City is now within the former territory of Prince Luo Meng, whose army guards and controls everything here. Chaos and turmoil have left traces of battle everywhere; a large-scale war must have taken place between the two sides in Shura City, leaving behind many ruins and people fleeing the city. The once bustling and prosperous scene is gone. Only desolation, bleakness, and a hopeless capital remain.

Lan Tian spotted demon soldiers among the troops guarding Shura City. Numerous demon troops were mixed in, working together to maintain the city's safety. These were forces subdued by the Crown Prince, elite soldiers from the Endless Sea demons. These men were stained with the blood of the people of the Endless Sea, and Lan Tian was determined to kill them. They bore an irreconcilable hatred for Lan Tian, ​​who had killed their fathers; they were his to be eliminated.

Looking at these demon soldiers, Lan Tian felt a surge of hatred rising within him, and he wished he could go over and kill them all immediately.

The seeds of hatred had been sown, and now was the perfect opportunity to annihilate them. Without hesitation, Lan Tian charged forward and began a brutal slaughter of the demon soldiers, killing them without regard for consequences. In a fierce attack, the demon soldiers fell dead one after another!
The sudden massacre caught the demon soldiers completely off guard, leaving them no chance to retaliate before their lives were over. The scene was horrific, filled with the cries of ghosts and the screams of wolves; the army was thrown into chaos, and everyone fled in disarray. A high-level expert was truly invincible against these guards, effortlessly eliminating everyone present.

Lan Tian's current rank advancement generated a powerful offensive force, which these soldiers were far beyond his ability to withstand. In no time, Lan Tian had wiped out all the demon soldiers present, leaving not a single one alive.

Seeing this, soldiers from other races scattered and fled. In the empty space around Lantian, they were filled with excitement. Looking at the fleeing soldiers, Lantian showed no mercy and did not let a single one escape. With a swift swing of his broadsword, all those who fled fell to the ground dead. The team of more than a hundred people was thus cleanly and swiftly wiped out by Lantian.

Lan Tian showed no remorse whatsoever. This killing spree relaxed him both physically and mentally, plunging him into a state of arrogance and invincibility. Was it really that easy? Only Lan Tian himself knew the answer.

Lan Tian didn't linger for a moment, flying away without hesitation. He was going to find Hai Liang and Cao Yuqing. He would settle his score with the demons later.

Lan Tian headed out of Shura City to find the two of them.

Not far outside the city, Lan Tian encountered a group of refugees. They were ordinary people who had fled from Shura City. Now, amidst the chaos of war, people were living in dire straits, lacking food, clothing, and shelter, and were forced to sleep in the wilderness. However, these refugees were very united, helping and caring for one another. They hoped to live in a place free from war, and they didn't ask for much. As long as they had food to eat, clothes to wear, and a place to live, that would be their greatest happiness and the best life.
