At the moment when the attack of the master of that realm was about to hit everyone, the light of the formation under their feet enveloped the four of them. Tian Yu felt that the dangerous aura was almost about to hit his nose, but was isolated outside the formation.

Yuzu let out a sigh, feeling her heartbeat hammering against her chest.

"What is this?" Zhi Ling looked around. After the light of the formation disappeared, it was pitch black around them. No light could be seen, and there was a strange, damp and pungent smell in their nostrils.

"I don't know," Tian Yu said with embarrassment, "The formation was carved according to the notes left by Qingyang, and I don't know where it will teleport people to."

"No matter where she is, it's better than staying in Yucheng and getting beaten." said Youzi.

A strong flashlight appeared in Xu Lu's hand, and he handed the thing in his hand to Zhi Ling: "Night vision goggles."

Tian Yu, who has the strongest perception, did not show any abnormalities, so it should be safe here for now.

As Xu Lu turned on the flashlight, everyone put on their night vision goggles and began to look around.

When he was first teleported here, Tian Yu did not sense any life, nor did he feel any warning of danger.

After putting on night vision goggles, everyone could see clearly where they were. It seemed to be a warehouse. The ground and walls had obvious traces of human intervention, but they looked a little rough.

In this cave that seems to be artificially excavated, there are countless wooden holes, and the pungent smell seems to come from them.

Xu Lu pried open the lid of one of the wooden barrels. Zhi Ling took a closer look and twisted the liquid inside with his fingers.

"It's kerosene," she was certain.

"What?" Xu Lu was a little scared, luckily he was using a flashlight.

"This kerosene should be produced from the mineral veins on the east side of the Savage Mountains. It is the purest kerosene in the world. If it burns, it will be incredibly powerful." Zhiling said.

Tian Yu had read in a book that the kerosene in this world was not the same as what she imagined. It was often produced from the bottom of mineral veins rich in spiritual energy. Once it encountered fire, it would burn directly, and the flame could not be extinguished by ordinary means. What was even more deadly was that the kerosene itself would not have much impact on cultivators, but the flame ignited by the kerosene would evaporate all the spiritual energy around it.

"Once the kerosene fire starts, it will be a maggot in the bones. It will not disappear until the last bit of spiritual power is burned out." Zhiling said.

Looking at the large amount of kerosene around him, Zhi Ling felt himself breaking out in a cold sweat. "Forty years ago, there was a precedent of using kerosene in a war. At that time, dozens of Heaven Realm masters were burned to death, and countless civilians and cultivators were left."

"Later, the countries signed a treaty to ban the use of kerosene, and all the mines where kerosene was discovered were also sealed."

Yuzu felt a chill in the midst of so much kerosene: "If it's contraband, where did so much of it come from?"

"Although kerosene has been banned, there are still many daring people who engage in small-scale smuggling. This is a serious crime under the law, and even the Heavenly Dao Barrier will supervise this." Zhiling said.

"Wait," Tian Yu interrupted Zhi Ling, "Heavenly Path Barrier?"

Several people looked at each other and suddenly thought of something. Smuggling is regulated, and once the smugglers are discovered, they will be included in the range of exclusion of the Heavenly Dao Barrier. To obtain so much kerosene, the conditions required are large-scale smuggling and the disregard of the Heavenly Dao Barrier.

There is a place that fits this bill perfectly.

"We can't still be in Yucheng, right?" Youzi said with a bitter face.

"I don't know," Tian Yu shook his head, "but these kerosene are good stuff."

After these words were spoken, the three people except Zhi Ling looked at each other.

"There are plenty of places." Xu Lu said with a knowing smile.

"What?" Zhi Ling didn't understand why the three of them had happy smiles on their faces.

"Don't just stand there, come and give me a hand. Everyone who sees it will get a share. I'll give it to you when you have a seat." Youzi has already taken action.

"Eight hundred thirteen, eight hundred fourteen..." Yuzu counted the number.

"Nine hundred and thirty-six barrels in total, exactly two hundred and thirty-four per person."

The cave that originally contained kerosene barrels has been cleared out. The originally gloomy space has become even more empty, but everyone's faces show satisfaction.

This thing is much scarier than gunpowder. Once it is put into use, it will be a weapon of mass destruction.

While taking a breath and resting, Tian Yu spoke up: "The hurricane in Yucheng, I think I know what's going on."

She laid out the records of Qingyang, all her own guesses, and the map of Yucheng, which surprised the three of them.

"Are you saying that this hurricane was created intentionally by the Li family?" Xu Lu asked.

"Not sure, but now the mission is completed, at least we can be sure that this is the right direction." After this mission was completed, no new mission appeared, which made Tian Yu doubt that the previous guesses of several people were wrong.

Is this really all you'll get?

Yuzu stood up. The robot had explored the cave thoroughly while the others were resting, and now it had finally sent back the route of their departure following the wind direction.

"Let's go and see where the message has reached us." She took the lead, ready to lead the way.

Tian Yu reached out and pulled the man back: "I'll lead the way, be careful."

The previous few people looted the cave, but no one showed up. This made Tian Yu feel a little strange. Normally, a place like this for storing kerosene should be heavily guarded.

Tian Yu led the way, followed by Xu Lu, with Youzi and Zhiling in the middle. The four of them were alert and walked out of the cave carefully.

"What the hell is this place?" Youzi squinted her eyes and looked at the glaring yellow sand outside the cave. It was hard for her to believe that she had suddenly arrived in the desert from the rainy Yucheng.

Tian Yu looked up at the sun, then gazed into the distance at a few plants growing in the yellow sand.

"This is the northwest area and does not belong to Dalin," she said.

"How do you know?" Yuzu asked curiously.

Tian Yu looked at Zhi Ling: "Does she look familiar?"

Zhi Ling's face was serious. She was not unfamiliar with this place: "This is indeed the northwest."

Yuzi and Xu Lu listened to the affirmative tone of the two people and seemed to remember something.

When Tian Yu came to this world, she was in the northwest. Here, she met Zhiling for the first time. After several months of long journey, she finally reached the capital of Dalin.

"There is one more thing," Tian Yu guessed, "Before Mo Zhi took office in Dalin Capital, he was in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall branch in the northwest."

Zhi Ling obviously thought the same thing as Tian Yu: "There shouldn't be so many coincidences."

Looking at the yellow sand in front of him, Xu Lu still felt strange: "Why is there no one stationed here?"

As they were talking, there seemed to be some movement behind them——
