Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Upheaval of the Seven Luminaries Sect

Because the waters where the ship had originally been were not far from the Northern Continent of Ziyu, Lin Yanghao returned to the continent in just a few days. He made his way to the nearest city, Dongrang, which was renowned as one of the great cultivation cities of the Northern Continent. By all rights, Dongrang should have been bustling, but upon entering, Lin Yanghao found only desolation. There wasn’t a soul to be seen in the streets; even the inns and homes within the city stood empty.

“Could something major have happened in the Northern Continent during this past year?” After half an hour searching nearly every corner of Dongrang, Lin Yanghao was certain it had become a ghost town.

With no other choice, he hurried on to the next city. It took him only an hour to reach Siyue City, but just like Dongrang, it was utterly deserted. Lin Yanghao didn’t bother searching further, but headed straight for the next city.

“Ling’er, where do you suppose all the people of the Northern Continent have gone?” Lin Yanghao asked his artifact spirit, Ling’er, with a faint hope. After all, Ling’er had witnessed much and been around for an unknown length of time—perhaps she might know.

“Hmph! How should I know? I’m no prophet, nor can I predict the future!” Ling’er replied irritably, then refused to say another word to him.

“Wang Shaohui, just you wait. The day I return will be the day you meet your end!” Receiving no clues, Lin Yanghao resolved to return to the Seven Luminaries Sect; he had been away for more than a year already.

...

“Hahaha, Bai Zi, these human cultivators are as cowardly and timid as ever. As soon as word spread that the Beast Domain had descended upon the world of cultivation, it took only a few days for every human cultivator in the Northern Continent to flee in terror. Now the continent is nothing but a land of empty cities.” On Lionhead Mountain, Lin Yanghao listened from behind a massive boulder, his heart pounding with shock at the conversation he overheard. He had never imagined that the entire population had been driven off by spirit beasts.

Lionhead Mountain was a necessary pass on the road back to the Seven Luminaries Sect. Upon seeing the two low-grade, high-ranking spirit beasts guarding the path, Lin Yanghao immediately gave up on the idea of passing through. Their cultivation was almost ten thousand times higher than his own. He sighed to himself in relief that, fortunately, spirit beasts lacked keen eyesight and hearing; otherwise, if these were cultivators instead, he would have stood no chance of leaving alive.
