Tian Yu clearly remembered that those people died in a fight, but when they entered the mountains, only Li Tianhe was bewitched and left the team. Now, after a closer look, everything became strange. When did they start to get lost? Why didn't the team that was also affected kill each other?

She compared the video in her mind and began to search the area carefully. The scene was switched to the time when Li Tianhe disappeared and when he was finally found. Tian Yu slowly stood at the place where Li Tianhe almost lost his life. There was a terrifying Yinbo lying in ambush here.

Tian Yu squatted down and carefully felt the traces nearby. Finally, a tree trunk caught her attention.

"Found it." Tian Yu's voice appeared in everyone's earphones, and they rushed towards where she was.

"What a grand deal." Zhi Ling exclaimed in amazement.

The tree trunk that Tian Yu found was actually hollow after he cracked the formation on it. He went into the trunk and went all the way down, and arrived at a space. The residual smell in the space told everyone that a large amount of kerosene was once stored there.

"It's all gone." Zhiling's tone was somewhat reluctant. The amount of kerosene here was more than twice as much as what they had originally discovered. If it were to burn in Yucheng, who knows what kind of hell on earth it would be.

Tian Yu said nothing and began to study the formation here.

"Get ready." Her hands began to carve on the ground.

A pungent smell filled the air. Tian Yu opened her eyes and saw a scorched earth. She looked down at the land beneath her feet. This should have been the location of the Li family army's barracks.

Mo Zhi turned his head away, seeming to feel a little bit reluctant.

Looking out from the military camp, the entire city of Yu was a scorched ruin, and in front of them were countless charred corpses covering the entire military camp.

"Ugh——" Yuzu was irritated by the smell and seeing such a scene, she could no longer bear it and vomited.

Even the determined Xu Lu closed his eyes, as Zhi Ling's tears had already flowed.

Tian Yu looked at this scene and felt inexplicably angry.

Hearing about what happened in Yucheng was one thing, but seeing it with one's own eyes was truly a huge shock.

Tian Yu turned his back, but could not escape the devastation around him.

"There are more than 300,000 residents in Yucheng, and the army that came here totals 100,000." Mo Zhi's voice trembled. How many people died in this city?

Everyone remained silent, and no one wanted to liven up the atmosphere in the face of such a human tragedy.

......

On the city wall, Tian Yu was watching the images sent back by the drone. Below her feet was the city gate of Yucheng. The fire did not burn the gate and the city wall surrounding Yucheng. It was as if the fire was confined to a certain area.

Tian Yu placed his hand on the city gate tower and felt it, and he knew that it was the effect of the formation.

Under the feet of the crowd, countless charred corpses were piled up at the base of the wall, layer upon layer. When the fire started, countless people wanted to escape from here, but the Yucheng City with the formation activated was like a cage that one could only enter but not exit.

The drone flew over the streets and alleys, and finally transmitted back images of the seaside.

That was where the refugee camp used to be. Just looking down at the entire Yucheng, you would find that the so-called refugee camp was the last wall surrounding Yucheng. It completed the last brick of the grave, and no one could escape to the sea.

Yuzu had already vomited several times, and even Tian Yu had vomited earlier.

Dense human-shaped charcoal bodies were scattered throughout the city, and there was no sign of life at all.

Mo Zhi's voice trembled a little: "We arrived earlier than the Li family army."

At this moment, he began to doubt his uncle, whom he had always regarded as a hero. War is ruthless, but is it really worth sacrificing so many civilians for it?

Tian Yu looked outside Yucheng: "Why did they all enter Yucheng?"

This was something she had never understood. Since the Li family army was not in the city, the advance troops should have reported back. Even from a tactical point of view, there should always be someone stationed outside the city.

What happened after they left Yucheng?

Everyone was unable to calm down for a moment. They did get ahead of the Li family army this time, but facing this hellish scene, no one was in the mood to start making arrangements.

"Cheer up," Tian Yu said, although she also felt fear and disgust.

"There are still some strange things in Yucheng, and there are too many suspicious points." As she said this, she silently took the tablet from Youzi's hand and started looking at the map.

Yuzi vomited until she was almost exhausted. After handing the tablet to Tian Yu, she said, "I want to take it slow."

Tian Yu nodded and watched silently.

......

After seven days of forced march, in the largest tent of the Li family army, General Li, wearing armor, was looking down at his hands. He felt that the seed deep in his soul seemed to be taking root and sprouting.

His hands were shaking and his eyes were full of pain.

There was a sound outside the tent; it was the deputy general asking for a meeting.

"Reporting to the general, we are marching quickly today and a large number of soldiers in the army--" He was interrupted by the Li family army before he could finish his words.

"After resting, continue marching!"

Military orders are as heavy as mountains. Even if a large number of soldiers are overwhelmed, the deputy general can't say anything.

After everyone left, General Li looked at his hands again.

He suddenly missed Qingyang a little. Since his death, this was the first time that General Li wanted to get the other party's guidance so urgently.

"How did you escape from all this? Or was it a complete mistake for me to choose to believe him?" General Li's words were full of pain.

He looked at the sand table in his tent. The destination of this forced march was Yucheng, the place where the Li family had run the business for four generations. The people in the city regarded the Li family army as their relatives. Over the years, the Li family had practiced in Yucheng that even without the existence of the Way of Heaven, the people could remain safe.

He suddenly waved his sleeves and turned off all the lights in the tent.

"Fire!" He spat out the word angrily, gritting his teeth.

In the dark tent, a sob sounded in the silence: "Fire!"

The tent was isolated by General Li's spiritual power, so no one could hear his crying. This master of the heavenly realm who had fought on the battlefield for decades now fell to the ground like an old man who had lost all his strength.

He has never regretted anything in his life, but now he wishes he could go back to his youth.

"Tian Lei!" He stood up, his eyes full of hatred.

He always remembered the scene when this man came to Yucheng many years ago, and he regretted deeply that he believed everything he said at that time.

Then, General Li thought of the woman he met in Nanhai. If he guessed correctly, she should have inherited Qingyang's heritage, but where is she now?

"How on earth did you do it?" He thought of Qingyang again and remembered what he said.
