Lying there motionlessly, the Night Demon didn’t move.
At midnight, a dark cloud suddenly floated overhead, covering all of Cangwu City. Instantly, a slight drizzle began to fall, and the streets gradually emptied. Yet the Night Demon remained prone, his gaze fixed on the city gate.
Not for anything else, just to know how many people entered Cangwu City.
Suddenly, the Night Demon’s eyes froze.
In the drizzle, indistinct, yet he would recognize them anywhere.
It was none other than Murong Family’s—Murong Chi.
According to Ye San, they were disguised, using a concealnt technique that was a secret technique, impossible to see through at the sa realm. If Murong Chi hadn’t revealed it by speaking, the probing reality wouldn’t have escalated to a mortal combat. In a sense, Murong Chi was indirectly responsible for the death of seven Profound beings with Biluoyellow Springs!
Now this accomplice was thinking of leaving Cangwu City!
Impossible to let him go!
The Night Demon continued lying there to wait for people to enter the city, his anticipation vanished. Just as he was about to rise, the sound of hooves from outside the city made his hand, resting on the glazed tiles, freeze.
Jingle!
The sound of hooves splashing through the water accompanied by the ringing of bells echoed through the rainy night.
Upon hearing this sound, the Night Demon’s heart was greatly alard, thinking, "People from Kongling Mountain have also co."
What is the existence of Kongling Mountain?
It surpassed 2-star influences in East Lake, yet they were interested in the 50 White Crystals reward?
It made no sense.
White Crystals was a lot for people like them, but for a sect specialized in ’selling themselves’, 50 White Crystals should be very few, right?
Selling themselves to a Two-star influence to help eliminate their contending opponent, such a deal would easily net at least a hundred White Crystals. Also, similar to the Hundred Sects Alliance, the east lake’s Kongling Mountain was only a small branch, though less powerful than Flying Fish Island, shouldn’t accept a reward for 50 White Crystals.
Because it would devalue them!
Just as he was pondering, the newcors were close. A woman on a red mare simultaneously attracted the Night Demon’s and the soldiers’ attention atop the city walls. She was a particularly beautiful woman. Appeared to be in her thirties, possessing the charm of matured femininity. Although riding through the rainy night, not a drop of rain touched her.
Rainwater dissipated around her by itself.
"Yo!"
The woman halted the red horse.
Shouted at the soldiers atop the city walls, "Open the gate!"
Beside the soldier, Murong Xi also furrowed his brows but still shouted at the soldiers below, "Open the gate."
Creak!
The heavy iron wood gate slowly opened.
At this mont, the Night Demon slowly slid his body down, preparing to jump away and leave this place.
He knew it was unnecessary to continue watching; people from Kongling Mountain had co, and the waters of Cangwu City were muddied enough. The main point was he wasn’t confident in concealing his Qi from Kongling Mountain’s people within a hundred ters.
Rain hitting oneself differed from hitting glazed tiles, Kongling Mountain’s people would surely hear.
As for fishing in troubled waters, that decision would have to be made after returning to the brothel.
Speaking of below the city walls.
The sound of hooves closed in, Murong Chi stopped.
The person entering from outside looked at him, he looked at her, and the two stared at each other for a long ti.
Murong Chi was the first to speak, "I don’t know who from Kongling Mountain might this be?"
The woman responded indifferently, "Ling Yun."
Murong Chi’s brows twitched, feeling alard, continued, "Ling Yun, I wonder what kind of wind has brought you to Cangwu City?"
Ling Yun!
One of the three Guardians of Kongling Mountain.
Already stood at the peak of the Middle Profound Realm.
None could confidently defeat her except for the Sect Leaders from Flying Fish Island’s three great powers or so reclusive old relics.
Murong Chi secretly worried: What’s she doing in Cangwu City?
Next mont, Ling Yun glanced at Murong Chi, asking, "Murong Chi?"
Murong Chi nodded.
Ling Yun then laughed, saying, "Didn’t expect you to arrive before . Anyway, we’re bound to clash sooner or later; why not take advantage of now?"
Murong Chi was stunned for a mont and then watched as Ling Yun jumped off the horse.
Wait!
What does she an?
Murong Chi hurriedly asked, "Miss Ling Yun, I hold no grievance against you, why..."
Ling Yun interrupted Murong Chi, laughing, saying, "All for Immortal Sect, the White Crystals for the reward on Wen Ping’s head only one person can obtain, Immortal Sect’s Fire Snake Technique only one can take. Murong Chi, are you truly confused, or are you pretending to be confused because you know you can’t beat ?"
Boom!
A blue ridian Gate instantly issued a Vibrating Vein Sound.
S witnessing this Murong Chi felt terribly.
This crazy woman was ill, right?
Without distinguishing right from wrong, imdiately took action.
Suddenly, a jingle resonated!
Ling Yun had a small bell in hand; amid the Vibrating Vein Sound, it emitted dozens of blue streams of light, charging straight at Murong Chi.
Murong Chi promptly waved his hand, opening his ridian Gate.
Bang—
After a Vibrating Vein Sound, a blue shield appeared before Murong Chi, holding firmly against the blue streams of light from the bell.
Although Ling Yun’s attack was intercepted, the aftermath of the battle instantly snapped the beam of the building outside, and several successive moves brought trouble to those houses.
Seeing it was truly gaining no benefit, Murong Chi glanced around, hearing the screams of ordinary people nearby, couldn’t help but curse Ling Yun again.
Indeed, despite her age exceeding a hundred, looking only over thirty, still a lunatic. Just arrived in Cangwu City, said nothing, asked nothing, began fighting upon seeing soone.
Isn’t that madness!
Imdiately, Murong Chi retrieved an item from the Storage Ring. It was a black sphere covered in white secret patterns; he squeezed it without hesitation, and upon its explosion, it instantly released a thick smoke covering a hundred ters, blocking Ling Yun’s view while isolating her perception.
Not until a critical mont was Murong Chi willing to take it out.
It was bought from the Hundred Sects Alliance trading hall for thousands of Gold Coins, exclusively for escaping.
Once Murong Chi instantly vanished, Ling Yun hurried forward a few steps, quickly burst out from the smoke-covered zone, glanced around, and then withdrew the ridian Gate, sneering, "Murong Chi, you escaped quickly. But don’t let see you again, or before slaying that Wen Ping, I’ll kill you first!"
With that, Ling Yun shook her head, attempting to dispel the perception sealed by the thick smoke.
Unfortunately, in vain!
With no other option, Ling Yun had to lead her horse and head towards the city.
The rain continued to fall.
Yet it couldn’t conceal the terrified screams of the city’s populace.
Still lingering atop the city walls, the Night Demon smirked, as Ling Yun left, his mind kept replaying the earlier scene.
With Ling Yun, this lunatic’s arrival, Cangwu City would be even livelier!
As the sound of footsteps flooded the streets, the Night Demon glanced outside the city, pondered a mont, and then followed suit in leaving.
The soldiers from the City Lord’s Mansion who arrived dared not block Ling Yun walking with the horse on the streets. Lianhuan City ca; it only prompted everyone to quickly comfort those affected.
Under the rainy night, transford and gazing at the houses overturned by the battle’s aftermath, he felt sowhat angry.
Of course, more so with resignation.
Middle Profound Realm!
Couldn’t afford the confrontation!
This was probably the most regrettable aspect for a City Lord, wasn’t it?
