Person?
Ye Lingyue was startled. They had sneaked into Sifang City, thinking that avoiding the Sifang City Lord and Yue i would an they were safe, but little did they know they would encounter soone else.
If it was a participant in the competition, being found entering Sifang City during the trial period could likely result in disqualification.
That person must not be left here!
Ye Lingyue’s gaze sharpened as she looked in the direction Little Wuya pointed.
In the flower bed, indeed, there lay a person who had not moved for quite so ti.
Little Wuya’s high-pitched voice surprisingly hadn’t awakened the person.
Ye Lingyue took a few more steps forward and found a monk lying in the flower bed.
The monk was covered in grease, wearing a faded Kasaya, with a plump waist and round buttocks.
Hearing the sound, the monk made no response, just snored, emitting an unpleasant sll of alcohol and body odor. Beside him, there were several pig trotters that hadn’t been completely gnawed off.
Not far from the monk, a few jars of wine were discarded, with wine flowing out of the jars, saturating the ground with its sll.
It turned out to be a monk who did not adhere to the precepts, secretly drinking and eating at here.
Ye Lingyue let out a sigh of relief. She waved her hand in front of the monk’s eyelids. The monk continued to snore and showed no reaction, evidently drunk to the core, unlikely to notice anyone passing right under his nose.
Ye Lingyue gestured, and they slipped out of the temple while the drunken monk was still asleep.
Little did Ye Lingyue and the others know, no sooner had they left than the drunken monk lying on the ground grunted and got up.
After getting up, he thoughtfully touched his head, picked up a half-eaten pig trotter, and started gnawing on it greasily, spitting out bones while murmuring.
"Interesting, really interesting. It seems this World’s First Refining competition is going to be quite chaotic."
Saying so, the monk, seemingly drunk, staggered out of the temple.
Not long after Ye Lingyue and the others left, Yue i and Chen Mu ca out of the Demon Awakening Gate, both looking frustrated.
It just so happened to be the sixth hour.
The Sifang City Lord withdrew the Array, and the massive Demon Awakening Gate vanished like Mirrored Flower Water Moon.
Seeing Chen Mu, the Sifang City Lord’s expression turned displeased.
"Miss Yue, didn’t I clearly state before that no one was to be brought into the Demon Awakening Gate? You’ve broken the rules."
Yue i, having been tricked and gained nothing from it, had never been so frustrated in her life. She sneered.
"City Lord, I’m afraid I’m not the only one who broke the rules. You also allowed soone into the Demon Awakening Gate, and that person sched against and Chen Mu, even causing the death of Chen Mu’s junior brother. You might want to think about how you’re going to explain this to the Hunyuan Sect."
Hearing Yue i’s words, the Sifang City Lord’s expression changed.
Other than Yue i and Chen Mu, had anyone else entered the Demon Awakening Gate?
Impossible. On the Qing Province Mainland, apart from the Three Sects and him, even the people from the Nine Sects didn’t know about the existence of the Demon Awakening Gate.
Unless it was the demons hidden on the Qing Province Mainland.
"Is that true, apart from you, soone really entered the Demon Awakening Gate?" The Sifang City Lord was still sowhat in disbelief.
It was one thing for Chen Mu and An Yang, but for soone else to sneak into the Demon Awakening Gate right under his watch was another.
"People are dead, their bodies are right there, how could it be a hoax? Also, what is this Moonflower King? Why do the mbers of the Demon Clan within the Demon Awakening Gate, keep ntioning that we have the Moonflower King."
Yue i rembered that Moonflower is a type of flower that can only be planted in Sifang City.
The Sifang City Lord did not answer; he quickly left the Underground Well Palace and headed towards the ground.
It wasn’t until he reached the surface and noticed that a few Moonflowers were missing from the flower bed that he believed that indeed a third person had entered the Demon Awakening Gate last night.
"How is it, City Lord, whoever entered the Demon Awakening Gate, do you have any clues?"
Yue i and Chen Mu harbored deep hatred for the person who ambushed them last night, they couldn’t wait to find the culprit imdiately.
Chen Mu, with sharp eyes, suddenly noticed so bones on the ground.
"Look, there really was soone."
When the Sifang City Lord saw those bones, his expression turned even stranger, clearly an unexpected person had also gotten involved.
The Sifang City Lord couldn’t help but massage his temples with a headache.
Those who should and shouldn’t have co, all bumped into each other, this small place in Sifang City suddenly has so many significant individuals, it seems this World’s First Refining event is dood to not be peaceful.
"Both of you, as for last night’s matter, I shall of course investigate it thoroughly. For Miss Yue’s sake, I won’t pursue last night’s matter for now, but if I find out that anyone carelessly leaked the news about the Demon Awakening Gate, even if there’s a huge backing behind them, I will not let them off lightly."
Having said that, the Sifang City Lord left without paying any further attention to the ill-looking Chen Mu and Yue i, brushing past them and leaving them staring, dumbfounded at the greasy pork bones on the ground.
"This is truly unlucky. Junior Sister Yue, I’m afraid this matter can’t be clarified in a short while. For now, we can only first carry back the corpse of my junior brother. As for the real culprit, we can continue to pursue them later." Chen Mu and Yue i, having no other choice, reluctantly sent An Yang’s body back to the inn.
At the inn, the Great Elder Chang Luo also had a sleepless night.
He had been anxiously waiting, hoping An Yang could make a coback in the Sifang Ranking, and that Chen Mu could find a powerful Beast Pet.
But he waited and waited, and even noon had passed.
The Great Elder Chang Luo still received no good news.
Instead, a disciple from the Hunyuan Sect who went out to gather information got wind of the latest Sifang Ranking.
In the newly released Sifang Ranking, Long Sixuan from the Long Family of Cang Country has jumped to first place.
The forr number one, Hei Yue, had fallen to second place.
Great Elder Chang Luo consoled himself upon hearing the news.
This is just temporary, as soon as Chen Mu and the others return, the situation will reverse.
Finally, Great Elder Chang Luo at last saw Chen Mu.
But, far from bringing back good news, Chen Mu brought back devastating news.
"Dead? An Yang is dead!"
Seeing An Yang lying in the coffin, the Great Elder Chang Luo felt like he had been struck by lightning and sat down abruptly.
An Yang was fine last night, how could he be dead after returning from the Demon Awakening Gate.
How could he explain this to his wife.
"Master, your disciple is useless, I failed to protect Junior Brother An Yang comprehensively." Seeing his master distraught, Chen Mu knelt down guiltily to apologize.
"Great Elder, you can’t bla Senior Brother Chen for this, only bla the adversary for being too sinister." Yue i told Great Elder Chang Luo about soone sneaking into the Demon Awakening Gate, possibly a contestant.
"Master, you don’t need to worry, that person should have left the Demon Awakening Gate around the sa ti as your disciple, although we temporarily don’t know who he is, once the final rankings are released, whoever took An Yang’s Four Directions Token must be the murderer!" Chen Mu said fiercely.
