Chen Zi thought about it and nodded her head in agreement. Mo Wen indeed had nowhere to go now.
"There is a Jianyou Sect Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner in Panli City. Let's hurry out of the city before the Jianyou Sect can react."
Zou Guangbo put on his bamboo hat again. The group hurriedly walked out of the courtyard and passed through the alleys.
Fortunately, Zou Guangbo had been the deputy mayor of Panli City for decades. He was very familiar with the layout of Panli City, so he didn't have to worry about getting lost.
However, they had just walked a short distance when they noticed that there were people wearing the robes of the law enforcers patrolling the streets and alleys. They seemed to be looking for someone, causing the whole city to be in chaos.
"Oh no, the people of the Jianyou Sect should have already known about Liu Jiang's death. I'm afraid the whole city is under martial law now."
A group of law enforcers rushed over from the opposite street. Zou Guangbo, who was walking at the front, hurriedly hid in a small alley. He looked at the group of law enforcers with a grave expression.
He didn't expect the Jianyou Sect's reaction to be so fast. Liu Jiang's death had only been fifteen minutes and the whole city was under martial law.
At the same time, they noticed that there were notices pasted on the walls of the streets and alleys. On the notices were the portraits of the two of them. There was also a bounty on their heads. The bounty had reached a terrifying level.
"They actually issued a bounty."
Zou Guangbo laughed bitterly. The Jianyou Sect was probably serious. Once they issued a bounty, not only did they have to hide from the Panli City law enforcers, but they also had to be careful of the residents of the city. Once they were discovered, they could be reported at any time.
"What should we do?"
Chen Zi frowned slightly. She didn't expect the situation to be so serious. If she had known that the Jianyou Sect had already taken control of Panli City, she definitely wouldn't have asked Mo Wen to kill Liu Jiang. At least, she would have waited until they had left the city before killing him.
Now that the whole city was under martial law, they had become the target of everyone. The normal residents wouldn't care about the fight between the Jianyou Sect and the Intentionless Sect. They didn't belong to any faction. If there was a bounty, they would be easily exposed.
"What are you afraid of? It's fine if you say that we can't make a big fuss in Intentionless City. Do we have to be afraid of the small Panli City and the Jianyou Sect?"
Mo Wen crossed his arms and curled his lips into a smile.
"Don't be careless. There is a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner from Jianyou Sect in Panli City. Moreover, we don't know if the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner from Sacred Flame Sect has left. If there are two Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners in the city, then we will be in danger."
She knew that Mo Wen was very strong, and his character was somewhat fearless. However, in such matters, they couldn't let their emotions affect their decisions. If two Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners appeared, they would most likely be in danger.
Moreover, Panli City had already fallen into the hands of the Jianyou Sect, so there would definitely be many Embryonic Breathing realm ancient martial art practitioners from the Jianyou Sect in Panli City.
A few of them might not be much, but a lot of them would be a terrifying force.
"Let's take the small path and disguise ourselves. Right now, we can only try our best to avoid encountering those law enforcers."
Zou Guangbo suggested. With their current situation, if they walked out openly, they would definitely be like a few big light bulbs. They would be discovered in a moment.
The few of them once again retreated into the small path and found a house that had no one at home. After "borrowing" a few pieces of clothing, the group of them moved again and sneakily moved towards the direction of the city gate.
Mo Wen laughed bitterly and changed into a light grey hemp shirt. Now, he could only let Chen Zi do whatever she wanted. If they could sneak out of Panli City quietly and not have any conflict with the Jianyou Sect ancient martial art practitioners, that would be a good choice.
However, no matter how he looked at it, Chen Zi and Zou Guangbo didn't seem like people who had the talent of stealth.
The few of them continuously shuttled through the dense and complicated buildings in the city. Sometimes, they would take a detour in the same area to avoid the law enforcers of Panli City. However, the general direction was always the north city gate.
After a few attempts, their luck was actually not bad. They were getting closer and closer to the north city gate. However, the buildings were getting sparser, so it was very easy to be discovered.
"Not good, the city gate is tightly shut. We can't enter or leave."
In the distance, the outline of a huge city wall faintly appeared. Zou Guangbo's eyesight was not bad. With a glance, he discovered that the north city gate was tightly shut. There were constantly people walking on top of the city gate tower.
The city gate was closed. If they wanted to leave, they could only force their way through or fly out.
However, no matter which method they used, they would be exposed immediately.
Moreover, in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, the gravity was ten times that of the main space. Only the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners had the ability to fly. Zou Guangbo and Chen Zi didn't have that ability.
"We should have known that the Jianyou Sect would definitely close the city gate immediately."
Chen Zi's expression was a little ugly as she said. Now that the city gate was closed, it was almost impossible for them to leave the city quietly.
"We can't act rashly now. We can only wait until night time to see if we can force our way out." Zou Guangbo furrowed his brows. It was almost impossible to force their way out in broad daylight. However, under the circumstance that it was dark at night, there might be a possibility to force their way out.
"There's no need to wait until night time," Mo Wen said plainly.
"Why?" Zou Guangbo was stunned and looked at Mo Wen in confusion.
Mo Wen didn't say anything. He just looked at the sky in the distance. The corner of his mouth curled into a faint smile.
Chen Zi and Zou Guangbo had some doubts in their eyes. They didn't understand what Mo Wen meant.
However, very soon, they knew why.
A beam of blue light flashed from afar. The figure was close to the roof, but his feet didn't touch the ground. It was as if he was flying over.
"A Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner."
Zou Guangbo inhaled a breath of cold air. His face was extremely pale. Only Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners had the ability to glide and fly in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.
"You guys have guts. You actually dared to kill the Young Sect Leader of the Jianyou Sect. I will skin you alive and grind your bones to dust."
An old voice came from afar. At first, it was still far away, but in the blink of an eye, it was like a thunderclap. The surrounding buildings trembled, and tiles fell from the roofs. It seemed that the sound waves alone could shock people to death.
"Young Mistress, you guys immediately break through the north city gate. I will try my best to block him for a while."
Zou Guangbo gritted his teeth. He stamped his foot on the ground and leaped up. He flew more than ten meters high and landed on a roof. Strong Inner Qi kept surging out of his body, like a lighthouse in the dark.
"Uncle Zou."
Chen Zi's expression changed greatly. At the crucial moment, Zou Guangbo had sacrificed himself for justice. This had moved her a little. The Intentionless Sect was on the brink of destruction, yet they still had such a loyal member of the sect. Anyone who wanted to destroy the Intentionless Sect would most likely have to pay the price.
"Are you going to leave or not?"
Mo Wen asked calmly as he crossed his arms and looked at Chen Zi, whose blood was surging.
Zou Guangbo would probably be able to hold off the Jianyou Sect ancient martial art practitioners for a while. If they were to break through the north city gate now, their chances of success would be very high. Of course, after breaking through Panli City, it was hard to say whether they would be chased again.
"I'm not leaving. You leave."
Chen Zi's blood was surging. In her despair, she felt a desperate desire to meet her death. Since the Intentionless Sect was about to be destroyed, she might as well disappear with them.
"If you die now, I'm afraid your wish to return to the Intentionless City to take a look will be dashed," Mo Wen said with a laugh.
He clearly knew that the road ahead was blocked and that going would only result in death. Yet, he was still rushing to his death. Could it be that people nowadays were not afraid of death?
Upon hearing this, Chen Zi was stunned. If she died in Panli City, then her wish to return to the Intentionless City to take a look would never be realized.
The Intentionless Sect was so glorious in the past, but now it had fallen to such a state. She couldn't help but feel sad.
"Mo Wen, can you stop that Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner?" Chen Zi bit her lip and stared into Mo Wen's eyes as she asked.
Originally, she didn't want Mo Wen to take the risk because she knew Mo Wen's identity. If Mo Wen was alive, the Intentionless Sect's dream of rebuilding the Ming Cult could be realized. If Mo Wen was dead, then the Ming Cult would disappear forever.
If her grandfather had a choice, he wouldn't have asked Mo Wen to take the risk. However, she didn't have any other choice now. The only thing that comforted her was that there seemed to be a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner in Panli City. Mo Wen might be able to fight him, but if there were two of them, then she wouldn't even think about it.
"It's just the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm. Of course, I can! It's just that you always think that I am not as good as them, so you have to hide. What other choice do I have? If it were me, I would have left the city with a swagger long ago. "
Mo Wen crossed his arms with a relaxed expression. He didn't seem to be nervous at all.
"You are not a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner, so you don't know how strong they are. The Golden Elixir realm and the Embryonic Breathing realm belong to a watershed …"
Chen Zi sighed. No matter how strong Mo Wen was, he was still just an Embryonic Breathing realm ancient martial art practitioner. Moreover, she had never seen him fight with a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner before.
There were countless Embryonic Breathing realm ancient martial art practitioners in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Under normal circumstances, they might be experts, but in front of a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner, they were nothing. Once an ancient martial art practitioner reached the Golden Elixir realm, they would already have a sense of transcendence.
This was also why, in the main space, there were so few Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners. It was because to transcend mortality, it was definitely not something that could be achieved with just talent and hard work. It also required the support of abundant resources. In the main space, there was no such condition at all.
The Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner was like a shadow, lightly sweeping across the sky. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in the sky above Chen Zi and the rest.
Noticing that Zou Guangbo was blocking in front of him, he immediately laughed coldly, "Courting death!"
An Embryonic Breathing realm ancient martial art practitioner actually dared to block in front of him. Could it be that he was tired of living? Even an ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing realm was just a slightly bigger bug to him. He could still crush him to death with one hand.
A frightening pressure descended from the sky. In the blink of an eye, it seemed to have turned into a tangible wave of Qi. It violently crashed into Zou Guangbo's body, directly sending him flying. Without even making a move, he could use his aura to render an ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing realm completely defenseless. It could be seen how strong a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner was.
"Young Mistress Chen, it can be said that we can wear out iron shoes in fruitless search, only to find you by chance. Originally, we were still planning on how to get rid of you in the main space, but in the end, you came to seek your own death."
An old man in blue stood quietly in mid-air. His hair and beard were all white. On the surface, he looked kind and benevolent, like a god standing in the sky. (To be continued.)
