Seeing the little girl full of worry, Ye Lingyue smiled.
"I’m not seriously hurt. Just a day or two of rest, and I’ll be fine."
"Boss, it’s good that you’re alright. We’re sorry we couldn’t help you."
Little Wuya felt very guilty because at the Ancient Pass, they sensed Ye Lingyue was in danger, but due to the special prohibition of the Ancient Pass, they couldn’t do anything.
"During that ti, I wouldn’t want you to take risks either."
Ye Lingyue comforted Little Wuya, but soon she found that things were far worse than she had imagined.
Because she discovered that the Qiankun Purple Gold Bag she carried, the Phoenix Token, and even the Sky Wolf Stick that Sister Wan Yun had temporarily entrusted to her were all gone.
Damn it!
Those two thieves.
Ye Lingyue realized that earlier those two n must have stolen all her things while she was unconscious.
Inside the Qiankun were hundreds of spirit stones she accumulated at Lonely Moon Sea, the Dragon Roar Sword, a large quantity of elixir pills, and so spiritual artifacts.
But these were not the most critical; with Hong ng Heaven, the low-level spirit stone vein inside could still support the Cauldron Spirit for a while.
Elixir pills are not sothing she needs at the mont.
But the most important were the Phoenix Token and Sky Wolf Stick taken from her.
The forr was her only ans of communicating with Di Shen, and the latter was crucial to Zhao Tianlang’s life and death.
She absolutely cannot lose them.
Ye Lingyue stood up in frustration.
The grayish sky and desolate plain scene made Ye Lingyue slightly perplexed.
She sensed slightly that the spiritual energy in heaven and earth was very scarce.
This is neither the Ancient Pass nor any place she knows of.
She rembers that before she fainted, she seed to have fallen into the Ancient Teleportation Array.
She should have already arrived at so Newbie City.
However, that teleportation array was not the Yann Teleportation Array. Ye Lingyue looked around again and finally, dozens of feet away, saw an ancient teleportation array.
Unlike the teleportation array at the Ancient Pass which was guarded, this array’s light was extrely dim, and there was no one around to guard it.
Ye Lingyue looked for a long ti before she barely recognized the two characters engraved in the teleportation array.
"Huangquan?"
Ye Lingyue was speechless, unexpectedly, by a twist of fate, she ended up at Huangquan City, where Yue Mubai had earlier warned was the last place newbies should co.
Huangquan City, known to all as the harshest environnt, the strictest assessnt, and the place where nature’s spiritual energy was most scarce among the Ancient Nine Provinces’ newbie cities.
This city has always been considered the newbie grave; out of ten who co here, at most only one or two can leave.
Moreover, it is ho to many veterans and so roaming dark forces.
No wonder she got unlucky to encounter thieves as soon as she arrived here.
"Really unlucky."
Thinking about having no money and losing contact with others, Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but spit.
Despite her annoyance, Ye Lingyue knew now was not the ti for self-pity; she must quickly enter Huangquan City, and after newbie registration, imdiately search for the whereabouts of the two thieves who took her belongings.
Ye Lingyue rembered that when those two fled earlier, they went in the northwest direction.
She quickly outlined the map of the nine newbie cities in her mind, lucky for her good mory.
Although she hadn’t planned to co to Huangquan City, she still rembered the approximate route from Huangquan Transmission Array to Huangquan City.
The northwest direction of the teleportation array is exactly towards Huangquan City, it seems those two thieves aren’t just ordinary thieves; they very possibly live in Huangquan City as newbies or are demon hunters.
Thinking of this, Ye Lingyue slightly relaxed.
At least searching for soone within a city is more targeted than on a deserted plain.
Ye Lingyue decided to set off imdiately, search for the two people after reaching Huangquan City.
She promptly summoned back Little Zhiyo and Evil Rabbit.
"Boss, Rabbit and I have already taken a look around. There are a lot of dried corpses and so demon beasts nearby; this Huangquan City is indeed a ghostly place."
Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya, as spiritual beasts, were very unaccustod to the place where nature’s spiritual energy is almost nonexistent like Huangquan City.
Only Evil Rabbit, being originally a demon beast, adapted better to this kind of environnt.
Ye Lingyue decided to reduce the ti Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya spent outside and first take the rabbit along the way.
After storing Little Wuya and Little Zhiyo, Evil Rabbit glanced at Ye Lingyue.
"Master, do you want to consider your face?"
Seeing Evil Rabbit’s hesitant look, Ye Lingyue instinctively touched her face.
Only then did she rember, in a place like Huangquan City, rampant with thieves, a female newbie with outstanding looks will inevitably attract a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"You’ve certainly thought it through."
Ye Lingyue contemplated a bit and took so materials from Hong ng Heaven, dyed her face and body all black like earlier when she worked as a rcenary, looking like an inkstone, significantly diminishing her appearance.
Ye Lingyue also dyed the eye-catching white fur of Evil Rabbit black, then took Evil Rabbit with her as she headed towards Huangquan City.
After walking for more than an hour, what she saw along the way made even soone like Ye Lingyue who had experienced the Earth Evil Prison feel a chill in her heart.
Huangquan City is truly deserving of its reputation.
Walking along felt like traversing Huangquan Road.
Everywhere there were bodies either shattered by humans or demon beasts, and spiritual beasts whose organs were devoured.
Even the vegetation along the way had grown slow due to being soaked by Evil Qi for years, fallen leaves covering the ground.
Fortunately, she didn’t encounter other thieves along the way.
After getting on the highway, Ye Lingyue walked for about more than an hour, and finally, a city gate appeared up ahead.
The walls of that gate were extrely weathered, the wall stone was riddled with ant holes, even the heavy brass gate lacked half a panel, looking like an old woman missing her front tooth, without a trace of vitality.
As she entered the city gate, Ye Lingyue didn’t see a single city guard.
If it weren’t for the sight of a shabby plaque labeled "Huangquan City," Ye Lingyue might have assud the city was an abandoned ghost town.
At the city gate, sporadically there were a few martial artists and alchemists coming in and out of Huangquan City.
They looked at Ye Lingyue with unfriendly eyes, as if thieves.
But seeing her ragged clothing, face looking like a black charcoal, and holding a dirty wild rabbit in her arms, they all looked away as if avoiding the plague.
Upon entering Huangquan City, Ye Lingyue found the city to be quite large.
Various facilities were relatively complete, but the people were very cold.
She wanted to inquire where the newbie registration location was, but passersby would quickly shake their heads and avoid her upon seeing her.
Finally, Ye Lingyue could only dig out a few low-level spirit stones she recently extracted, and only then did she learn from a passerby where the newbie registration location was.
