Two treasure maps

Guo Lin sighed deeply. He knew that he was no match for the immortal cultivators, so he followed Guo Fengmei's advice and did not go to his mother to pay respects or say goodbye to his father. Instead, he resolutely left the City Lord's Mansion. He felt mixed emotions, but he did not expect that Master Qingyue was already waiting for him outside the City Lord's Mansion. The two looked at each other, then walked side by side in silence, trying to avoid the gazes of others, and quietly left the Yunchan City that he was once familiar with but now made him feel terrified.

At this time, the sun was already high in the sky, and the sunlight was shining on the street, casting mottled shadows. Guo Lin looked up at the sky, but his heart was heavy. He noticed that Taoist Master Ye Feng and Fairy Hua were already waiting with their horses not far away. When they saw Guo Lin and Taoist Master Qing Yue coming, they went to meet them.

Guo Lin had already made plans before going to the City Lord's Mansion. He knew that this trip should not be publicized, and it would be best to be quiet to avoid unnecessary trouble. Therefore, he did not ride a horse. Now it seems that his cautious choice was correct.

The four of them simply ate some dry food to fill their stomachs, then mounted their horses and galloped towards Guojiazhuang. The sound of horse hooves echoed on the empty road, as if telling of their eagerness and determination at the moment.

During the meal, Guo Lin asked Taoist Master Ye Feng about the situation in Yunchan City. Taoist Master Ye Feng frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he told him everything he knew. Sure enough, what he described was roughly the same as what Guo Fengmei said. However, in the eyes of immortal cultivators, the life and death of these mortals seemed to be nothing. In order to pursue immortality and extraordinary power, they have long regarded life as worthless.

Guo Lin felt sad when he heard this. He understood more clearly that the reason why no one reported the so-called missing girls to the police was because most of them were sold by their families. These families signed a contract with the immortal cultivators to sell their daughters, using their daughters' future as a bargaining chip. Occasionally, there were troubles, but they were just disputes caused by uneven distribution of money. As long as the money was in hand, these families would acquiesce to the fate of their daughters being sold.

The city lord Guo Yun obviously knew all this. He did not interfere, perhaps because there were more complicated interests behind these transactions. Guo Lin could not help but feel sorry for those innocent girls, who should have their own lives and futures, but became victims because of their family's greed and the cruelty of the immortal cultivators.

However, Guo Lin was more worried about Guo Liuli's safety. From Guo Fengmei's anxious tone, he could sense the seriousness of the matter. Guo Liuli might have been sold by her grandparents, or was about to be sold. Thinking of this, Guo Lin felt anxious. He had to return to Guojiazhuang as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures with his wife and father-in-law. They were just ordinary mortals and could not compete with the immortal cultivators. But if he could find someone who could uphold justice among the immortal cultivators, there might be a glimmer of hope.

Guo Lin held the reins tightly and urged the horse forward. His heart was filled with determination. No matter what, he would fight for a fair future for Guo Liuli.

The four of them galloped all the way and finally arrived near Guojia Town when it was already dark. However, the scene before them made them feel depressed. They saw immortal cultivators flying on swords in the sky above Guojia Town, their figures were erratic. Usually, they were like dragons that could not be seen from head to tail, and rarely revealed their whereabouts in front of mortals, but now they appeared without any scruples, and flew directly towards Guojia Village.

Master Qingyue's eyes narrowed, and he said to Taoist Yefeng, "Something seems to be wrong. We have to rush over and see what happened."

Taoist Master Ye Feng and Fairy Hua nodded in agreement, and the three of them abandoned their horses and flew into the air. They were originally cultivators, so naturally they didn't need to ride horses. This time they chose to ride horses just to take care of Guo Lin, a mortal.

Seeing this, Guo Lin did not hesitate and directly begged Master Qingyue to take him with him. Master Qingyue hesitated for a moment, but seeing Guo Lin's firm expression, he nodded and agreed.

The array plate of Master Qingyue was like an exquisite bright moon, emitting a soft and mysterious light. The edge of the array plate was inlaid with fine runes, as if it contained endless power of heaven and earth. As Master Qingyue's mind moved, the array plate trembled gently, releasing a faint silver light, supporting her and Guo Lin to slowly rise up and merge into the team of immortal cultivators in the night sky.

Taoist Ye Feng's tablet looks simple and solemn. It is dark brown, with ancient patterns and runes engraved on the surface, exuding a calm and mysterious atmosphere. The tablet slowly rotates under Taoist Ye Feng's feet, as if carrying the Taoist's magic power, and carrying him lightly to shuttle between the immortal cultivators flying on swords.

The flower basket of the Flower Fairy is delicate and lively. The basket is woven from various exotic flowers and plants, and each petal exudes a faint fragrance. At the bottom of the basket, you can vaguely see wisps of spiritual energy lingering, and it is these spiritual energy that support the Flower Fairy to fly with the flower basket. In the night sky, the Flower Fairy's figure looks particularly elegant, like a fairy dancing in a sea of ​​flowers.

Along with the immortal cultivators flying on their swords, Tianshi Qingyue's formation plate, Taoist Yefeng's tablet and Xiangu Hua's flower basket drew graceful arcs in the air.

The four of them stood in the air, overlooking Guojiazhuang below. They saw many townspeople gathered outside the village, holding torches and surrounding the village gate. Angry shouts were heard from the crowd from time to time: "Burn her! Burn her!"

Guo Lin's heart tightened, wondering who they were going to burn to death. Standing at the gate of Guojia Village was a mage wearing a brand new monk's robe. It was the Lingyuan Master that Guo Feimo brought back when he was escorting. He was wearing new boots, which were obviously specially prepared for him by Guojia Village in order to establish good karma.

Master Lingyuan put his hands together, muttered something, and stood with the townspeople. Guo Lin was filled with fear and uneasiness, as he was worried that the person who was about to be burned to death might be someone he knew.

Master Qingyue noticed Guo Lin's nervousness. He patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Please be patient. We haven't fully understood the truth of the situation yet. It is wise to remain calm at this time."

Taoist Master Ye Feng also nodded in agreement, his brows knitted, as if he was thinking about a deeper problem. He said slowly: "No matter who they want to burn to death, since this person can attract so many immortal cultivators, his background must be complicated. Before the truth is revealed, we should not act rashly to avoid unnecessary trouble."

At this moment, Fairy Hua quietly appeared behind them, with a serious look on her face. She whispered, "I have already done some research, and the reason these immortal cultivators gathered here is to find and seize the treasure from the demon dragon."

When Master Qingyue heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly turned to Guo Lin and asked doubtfully, "Could it be that there is a demon dragon hidden in your Guo Family Village?"

Guo Lin shook his head repeatedly, his face full of confusion and anxiety: "How is this possible? Ever since our adventure in Wild Wolf Valley two years ago, Guojiazhuang has kept a distance from demon cultivators. My family members pay more attention to physical exercise and resolutely avoid any entanglement with demon cultivators."

Taoist Master Ye Feng glanced thoughtfully at the solemn monk at the door. An inexplicable light flashed in his eyes. He said in a deep voice: "I don't know who spread the news. It seems that tonight is destined to be a sleepless night."

Fairy Hua showed deep worry on her face. She said worriedly, "If there really is a demon dragon, then its dragon blood, dragon skin, dragon liver, dragon heart, etc., any one of them, will be enough for the cultivators to fight for. By then, I'm afraid these mortals will suffer."

The four of them stood quietly in the night, observing the situation around them with sharp eyes. They knew that an unknown storm was about to happen in Guojiazhuang, and they had to remain vigilant and wait for the right time to rescue the people they wanted to save.
