Chu Mo heaved a sigh of relief after rescuing Liu Yun without any danger. Even though things seemed to be going smoothly, in reality, the entire process was similarly fraught with danger. It could only be said that those people were too confident in Lord Luo Zhe's deterrence. They did not expect Chu Mo to come here at this time, nor did they expect Chu Mo to meet Guo Wenchang and Xu Yan.
Many a time, the luck of some people seemed to be predetermined by the heavens! In the midst of a freak combination of coincidences, there was often the will of the heavens that had long been predetermined.
Sitting in the tavern, Chu Mo's figure paused for a moment before a faint smile appeared on his face. "Come, let's drink."
Right at this moment, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted from the city. "Who is it? Get out here right now! "
This voice was earth-shattering.
It sounded like a giant's roar, deafening like the rumbling of thunder.
Shui Yiyi, Chu Qing, and the others were startled. They looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
The others in the tavern were also stunned. At this moment, someone said softly, "This voice sounds like the Giant Spirit Sovereign Lord. Who dares to provoke him?"
Right at this moment, the roar sounded again. "Don't let me catch you … You're dead!"
Following that, a cold voice sounded. "The city will be sealed now. No one is allowed to leave this city."
The expressions of Shui Yiyi and the others changed slightly.
Chu Mo shook his head. "It's fine. It has nothing to do with us." Chu Mo thought to himself, 'Those people's reactions aren't slow. They discovered us so quickly. I hope that Liu Yun and Xu Yan have escaped completely by now.'
However, Chu Mo was not too worried about this. The reason why Liu Yun was captured previously was most likely because of Guo Wenchang's scheming in the dark. In addition, he was worried about her friends. Otherwise, she would have escaped long ago with the treasures she had on her.
How could the little princess of the Spiritual Pill Hall not have any protective treasures on her?
Therefore, no matter how the people outside shouted, Chu Mo sat there calmly, not panicking at all.
Perhaps Chu Mo's calmness infected the others, as everyone calmed down as well.
A moment later, a few black-robed cultivators pushed open the door of the tavern. Their cold gazes swept over everyone in the tavern. Their cold gazes carried a strong sense of scrutiny.
The innkeeper of the tavern greeted them with trepidation. "Greetings, my lords."
"Did anyone suspicious enter this tavern before?" One of the black-clothed cultivators asked.
"No suspicious person," the shopkeeper said.
"Then, did anyone leave this place just now?" The black-clothed cultivator asked again.
The shopkeeper thought for a moment and glanced at the waiter. A waiter walked over and said, "There were two people. They came in and sat in that corner." He pointed with his finger and said, "After sitting for a while, they got up and left."
"What do they look like?" The black-clothed cultivator asked.
The shop assistant then described the clothes and appearance of the two people.
The black-clothed cultivators looked at each other. The leader said, "It's those two!" Then he looked at the waiter and asked, "After they left, did anyone follow them out?" With that said, he looked at everyone in the tavern suspiciously.
"No," the waiter replied carefully.
"It's fine." The leader nodded and turned to leave.
Another black-clothed cultivator suddenly said, "If you see anyone suspicious enter this place, remember to report immediately!"
The shopkeeper nodded. "I understand."
After the black-clothed cultivators left, the people in the tavern seemed to have come back to life. The heavy atmosphere made it hard for everyone to breathe.
One of the native cultivators asked in confusion, "Did something big happen?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "I don't know. This has never happened before. It actually alarmed the Giant Spirit Sovereign Lord and the Ice Sovereign Lord."
"Yes, these two lords haven't shown themselves for many years. What could have alarmed them?" Someone sighed.
At this moment, a young native cultivator said, "I heard that Lord Luo Jie is looking for someone from the Heavenly Realm."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man beside him glared at him. "Don't talk nonsense!"
The young native cultivator was unconvinced. "It's true. Why can't I say it? Lord Luo Jie has always been very good to us. He doesn't mind us mentioning his name. "
The old cultivator shook his head. "You don't understand. It's different this time. Remember to watch your mouth."
The young cultivator was about to say something when an old man at another table said, "Your elder told you. It's all valuable advice. Don't not listen."
The young cultivator curled his lips but didn't say anything else.
Then, some people left the tavern. They were all anxious to know what had happened and were ready to go out and ask around.
At this time, a few people walked in from outside. As they walked, they said, "Heavens, we've really poked a hornet's nest this time. How dare they kidnap someone under the noses of the Ice Lord and the Gigantic Soul Sovereign Lord?"
The cultivators who were about to leave heard this and were no longer in a hurry to leave, so they sat back down. One of them asked, "Brother, what happened? Why are you so nervous all of a sudden? We're not even allowed to leave the city? "
The cultivator who spoke looked at the crowd and said, "I heard that a special envoy of the Giant Spirit Sovereign Lord was killed. The other person who was with the envoy disappeared without a trace. Then, the criminal locked in the western tower was kidnapped. All the great cultivators in the tower were knocked out. "
Another cultivator said, "I heard that the criminal locked in the tower is someone that Lord Luo Jie wants to see."
Gasp!
The people in the tavern couldn't help but gasp. They didn't expect such a serious incident to happen. How was this poking a hornet's nest? This was clearly poking a hole in the sky!
No wonder the Ice Sovereign Lord and the Giant Spirit Sovereign Lord were so angry. The criminal that Lord Luo Jie wanted to see was kidnapped. Even the two of them … probably had some responsibility that they couldn't shirk.
Shui Yiyi frowned slightly. She instinctively felt that this incident had something to do with the two people who had just left.
Special envoy? Criminal?
And those two people were obviously cultivators from the Heaven Realm!
Could it be that the criminal was related to Chu Mo? Was Luo Jie trying to use the criminal to force Chu Mo to show himself?
It had to be said that Shui Yiyi's IQ was quite high. She could always infer shocking information from a few clues. It was hard not to be impressed.
Chu Qing and the others were also deep in thought.
The atmosphere in the tavern became a little gloomy for a moment. Since the matter was related to Lord Luo Jie, they had to be cautious and didn't dare to speak carelessly.
Soon, people left one after another.
Chu Mo and the others had eaten and drunk their fill. They stood up from the tavern and returned to the courtyard where they were staying.
After returning to his room, Chu Mo first sealed the place before taking out the Voice Transmission Stone. He hesitated for a moment before activating it. A moment later, a surprised voice came from the Voice Transmission Stone, "You are?"
The person on the other side was surprised that he couldn't determine the identity of the other party from the Voice Transmission Stone.
"Xu Yan, right? Are you guys safe? "Chu Mo asked in a low voice.
