The three of them were startled. This person looked like a guard of the city gate, why did he stop them without anyone stopping them?
"We're here to avoid vengeance!" Zhu Yao said with a quick mind.
"Avoid vengeance?" This person was the heretic practitioner who guarded the gate. He glanced at the three unfamiliar faces in front of him. "What vengeance?"
"Naturally, it's the Deity Sect."
"So it's another idiot who offended a Deity Sect and is here to seek self-protection." The heretic practitioner laughed in disdain. "Do you know the password?"
"Password?" Zhu Yao was completely dumbfounded. Only a ghost would know what password.
Wait a minute, it couldn't be: "Open Sesame?"
Roar ~ ~ | `o ′ | Roar ~ ~
Before the guard could reply, Sesame had already jumped out on its own. Its two eyes looked at Zhu Yao excitedly: Mistress, you called me?
Zhu Yao: …
On the contrary, the guard did not seem to be afraid in the slightest. He glanced at Sesame, and said with an understanding look. "Oh … So you're beast practitioners. With the lousy things you've done, it's no wonder you're being chased by the Deity Sect. Go on in, don't waste this old man's time."
"Thank you, little brother." Although she did not understand why, it was great to be able to enter.
Zhu Yao quickly called Sesame back, kept it into the spiritual beast pouch her master made for her, and brought the other two into the city.
Zi Dan explained to her that the so-called beast practitioners were heretic practitioners who used the corpses of spiritual beasts to refine them into corpses that could be controlled and used to attack. However, this art was a little lacking in morals, because the corpses of regular demonic beasts could not be used to refine them. Spiritual beasts that had already been tamed by humans had to be used. However, beast practitioners were not fated with demonic beasts. Because they often refined beast corpses, their bodies carried a scent that demonic beasts especially hated, which would cause demonic beasts to go crazy. Let alone tame them. Hence, beast practitioners could only steal other people's spiritual beasts, kill them, and then refine them into puppets. Usually, the puppets that were successfully refined would be a rank higher than the spiritual beasts when they were alive.
Killing other people's spiritual beasts, and even refining them into puppets to roam around, beast practitioners were definitely heretic practitioners that attracted the most hatred. There was no other.
Earlier, Sesame suddenly appeared, and it was even at the ninth rank. That guard must have thought that they were stealing an eighth rank spiritual beast from a Deity Sect, and even refined it into a puppet, which was why they were being chased by the Deity Sect.
She really had to thank big brother guard for his imagination, he was too timely.
Once they entered the city. The three of them tried to find out more information, but evil cultivators were not ordinary people. They were very cautious and would not tell anyone everything. After a whole day, the three of them finally found out the truth. The news that they waited for could be counted on one hand. And not many of them were reliable.
Chen Zi was also a beast cultivator. Regardless of whether it was an evil cultivator or a cultivator from an immortal sect, which one of them did not like to raise one or two spiritual beasts? Even her master had raised a group of silly immortal cranes. One could well imagine how much hatred a beast cultivator who specialized in stealing people's spiritual beasts would incite. It was to the extent that whenever they opened their mouths, they would be met with a few supercilious looks or glares.
After a whole day, there was no progress.
The three of them discussed. He planned to stay for a night. Chen Zi had brought so many demonic beasts to attack Ancient Hill Sect, it could be seen that they were all his puppets. There were so many of them. Naturally, the person who lost his spirit beast was also in a similar situation. As long as he asked around, he would be able to find some useful information.
The sky was already dark. The three of them found an inn, and after firmly rejecting the fatty Zi Dan's request to stay together, she returned to her own room.
There were some things. She needed to sort it out.
After setting up a barrier that blocked off probing in the room, she then called out the Wood Spirit from her divine sense.
"Wood Spirit. Do you know where the Water Spirit is? "The five spirits each had their own connection, so it should be able to sense the existence of the Water Spirit.
"Chick ~" After the Wood Spirit woke up, it had already returned to its little potted plant form. Hearing her question, it tilted its head, and then, it waved its branches for a while. "Chick chick chick chick chick ~"
She … did not understand a single word.
"Alright, alright, there's no need to chick anymore." It seemed like communication was a huge problem. "I'll ask, you answer. If it's right, you nod. If it's wrong, you shake your head. When you were in the great hall today, did you sense the Water Spirit from someone else's body? "
Currently, Xiao Yi was not injured, so naturally, Feng Yi could not use the Water Spirit to treat his injuries. That Water Spirit should still be on Feng Yi.
Although they had no choice in this rescue operation, it was not certain that they would be able to obtain the Water Spirit.
"Chick ~" The Wood Spirit tilted its head, and then, it began to shake violently, and even shook off a table of leaves.
"None? Not a single person in that group? "
"Chick!" It continued to shake off the leaves.
Then where was the Water Spirit? Zhu Yao was dumbfounded as well.
Wait a minute!
"Then, did you sense the Water Spirit today?"
"Chick!" Nodded.
She sensed the Water Spirit, yet, it was not on the person in the great hall. Could it be …
— — — —
The second day, the sky had just brightened, and the little rescue squad began to work overtime. This time, the three of them went to the most bustling market in the city. This was the first time Zhu Yao had come to a practitioner's market in the cultivation world, yet, she did not have the heart to stop and stroll around. She focused a hundred and twenty percent of her attention, and searched for Sovereign Feng Yi's whereabouts.
In order to better blend in with the crowd, ever since they entered the city, they had concealed their Nascent Soul cultivation. After all, three Nascent Soul practitioners walking together, and even asking around, would easily attract suspicion. It would be different if they were three Azoth practitioners.
After asking around, she found out that Chen Zi had basically never appeared in Yucang City before. Or to be precise, he did not dare to appear here. She heard that two hundred years ago, student Chen Zi courted death by stealing a sixth-grade spiritual beast that the city lord had painstakingly subdued, and even refined it into a puppet. Ever since then, he was wanted by the entire city, and he no longer dared to take a step into Yucang City.
Zhu Yao was a little discouraged. Yucang City was Chen Zi's only shelter. If he did not even dare to come here, then where else would he dare to hide?
That's not right. He dared to commit such a huge crime in Ancient Hill Sect, and it was during the promotion ceremony, where the various clans and sects were present. Then, he must have a place that he felt was extremely safe to hide in. And, the most dangerous place, was usually the safest place.
In other words, it was extremely possible that he had concealed his identity and was hiding in Yucang City.
When she thought of this point, Zhu Yao was instantly energized. She told her thoughts to the other two, and changed their target of search. They gave up on Chen Zi, and instead, searched for news about Sovereign Feng Yi. Although the information they obtained was not much, it was enough for them to confirm that Feng Yi had indeed come to Yucang City before. There was even someone who said that he saw her and a man who was travelling together, heading towards the northwest direction.
The three of them were overjoyed. Just as they were planning to head towards the northwest direction, suddenly, a commotion broke out on the streets, and the crowd suddenly began to congeal.
"Ah!"
A scream suddenly sounded in front of them, and the crowd squeezed towards them one after another.
Zhu Yao and the two others still did not know what happened, when a few more screams sounded in front of them, and they could faintly see a few wisps of black smoke rising.
"Let's hurry and leave this place." Zi Dan immediately decided to leave.
Zhu Yao and Xiao Yi nodded. They had snuck in in the first place, if they were to be discovered, they would be in trouble.
Just as the three of them turned around, they saw a heretic practitioner who was selling spiritual beast eggs to them earlier, suddenly had his two eyes bulging out, and he let out a miserable scream.
His eyes, ears, mouth and nose were constantly emitting out thick smoke that was as black as ink. His body was disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, he had already turned into ashes. Not even his bones could be found.
Such a terrifying method of killing, forget about Zhu Yao, even Reverend Zi Dan had never seen it before.
However, this was not the end. The same screams continuously sounded in the surroundings, and in an instant, five to six robust male practitioners had died in the same way on the streets in front of everyone's eyes.
Instantly, several terrified voices sounded out from the crowd, and heretic practitioners cherished their lives the most. The streets that were filled with people earlier, were instantly filled with those who rode on artifacts, and those who summoned spiritual beasts, one after another, began to flee for their lives.
Zhu Yao and the other two exchanged glances, and planned to leave as well.
"What's with the ruckus!"
Suddenly, a Demigod-stage pressure came from the sky, and the people who were fleeing in all directions earlier instantly quietened down.
A few people who had already flown into the sky, lost their balance, and instantly fell down. There were even some Foundation stage heretic practitioners who did not have high cultivation, who were instantly forced to bleed from the powerful pressure.
An extremely beautiful woman, suddenly descended from the sky. She was dressed in a very revealing manner, with only a layer of translucent muslin covering her body. Her legs were bare, and the two round lumps on her chest were even more prominent. Her appearance was even more beautiful than Sovereign Feng Yi's.
Zhu Yao could not help but sigh. This was definitely a stunner that men would not be able to shift their eyes away from once they saw her.
Strangely, none of the heretic practitioners present dared to raise their heads. Rather than saying they were respectful, it would be more accurate to say that they were afraid. The entire place was completely silent.
"What are you bunch of people shouting about so early in the morning for? Disturbing my sweet dreams. "The woman glanced at the crowd on the streets.
Hearing her question, a tall heretic practitioner at the side hurriedly replied. "Reporting to the city lord. Earlier, something strange happened in the city, so many people …"
The woman coldly snorted. With a wave of her hand, the heretic practitioner who replied was suddenly sent flying. He heavily smashed onto the ground a few meters away, and puked out a few mouthfuls of blood.
The woman then waved her hand again, and that person once again flew back, kneeling in front of her. The woman's slender jade feet heavily stepped on that man's back. With one hand, she lifted the man's chin, narrowed her eyes, and said with a smile. "Why don't you understand the rules? What city lord? Call me queen!"
Zhu Yao gave a face. So this city lord, was actually a queen.
The man who replied was evidently heavily injured, yet, he still gritted his teeth and replied. "Yes, Your Majesty. This lowly one did not understand the rules, I hope that Your Majesty can forgive me."
Zhu Yao gave a face. Your Majesty, did you cross over from an anime?
"Mn." Only then did the woman release his chin, turned around, and sat on the man's back. Casually pointing to another person at the side, she said. "Tell me, what's the big deal that happened?"
"City … My Majesty, there were quite a few people who were strolling around here earlier. They suddenly turned into ashes, and not even their bones remained. Before they disappeared, their bodies were even emitting out black smoke. "
"Black smoke?" The woman's expression sank, and suddenly, she revealed a cold smile. "So it's that traitor Chen Zi. I didn't even go look for him, yet he actually dared to return. Everyone in the city, listen up! " The queen stood up, and once again released her pressure. With a cold smile, she said. "Find me a beast practitioner called Chen Zi. Who is able to capture him? This queen will heavily reward you! "
The entire place once again went into an uproar. Everyone's faces were a little excited, looking as though they were itching to give it a try. There were even people who had already impatiently begun to move. (To be continued)
