Zhaozhou, Ping Yang City. 【..】
Ping Yang City was a small city in Zhaozhou. However, because it was located on a major road, there were many traveling merchants and tourists passing through. Therefore, this small city could be considered prosperous.
In the center of the city, there was a five-story restaurant called the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. It was the largest restaurant in Ping Yang City. However, those who could afford to dine here were either rich merchants or officials. There were not many commoners.
The Drunken Immortal Restaurant's signature wine, the Drunken Immortal Wine, was famous for its good wine and attracted many merchants.
At noon on this day, a man and a woman walked into the Immortal Indulgence Inn. Both of them looked very young. The man's appearance was slightly ordinary, but the woman in palace attire had a drop dead gorgeous face, and she attracted the burning gazes of many male customers in the inn.
"Guests, please come in. Do you want to have a meal or stay in the restaurant?" The manager was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He had a lot of experience. He pushed aside the stunned waiter and greeted them with a smile.
"Arrange a private room and serve some of your restaurant's specialties." The white-clothed man's gaze swept across the restaurant as he spoke indifferently. After he finished speaking, he took out an ingot of silver and threw it into the shopkeeper's arms.
"Okay, please come in." The manager took the silver and the smile on his face deepened. He led the two to a private room on the fifth floor facing the street.
The room was elegantly decorated. Looking out the open window, one could see everything in the city.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, this is the secular world. There shouldn't be anyone from the Devil Path chasing us. Since it's your first time in the Great Song, why don't you try the delicacies of our Great Song's secular world?" The man in white smiled at the woman and said.
"Oh, hearing Wang Daoyou say so, I'll have to try it later." The woman nodded and said with a smile.
The man in white and the woman in the palace were naturally Wang Changsheng and Wu Ling 'er.
More than two months had passed since the attack.
Wang Changsheng found several jade slips from the storage pouches of the tall skinny man and the others. Inside the jade slips were portraits of Wu Ling 'er. Obviously, the tall skinny man and the others' target was Wu Ling 'er.
Although Wang Changsheng did not know why the people of the Bone Spirit Sect wanted to kill Wu Ling 'er, he did not dare to stay in the territory of the Bone Spirit Sect. He used several Paper Crane Talisman Soldiers and brought Wu Ling' er out of the territory of the Bone Spirit Sect.
Unexpectedly, not long after they escaped from the Bone Spirit Sect's sphere of influence, Wang Changsheng and Wu Ling 'er encountered a few more attacks. Those who attacked them were all disciples of the Devil Dao Sect, and they also had Wu Ling' er's portrait on them.
The cultivation of these people who were chasing Wu Ling 'er was generally not high. The highest was only at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. They had the advantage in numbers, but Wang Changsheng and Wu Ling' er had both tamed spirit beasts. With the help of the spirit beasts, Wang Changsheng and Wu Ling 'er killed the enemies without any danger.
Although they killed the enemies, Wang Changsheng was not happy at all. This was because he found that the disciples of the Devil Dao Sect frequently appeared in various markets. They seemed to be looking for Wu Ling 'er.
After careful analysis, Wang Changsheng guessed that Wu Ling 'er's enemies might have reached an agreement with some of the Devil Dao Sects. The Devil Dao Sects sent a large number of people to search for Wu Ling' er.
Because the surrounding provinces were controlled by the Devil Dao Sects, there were not many righteous sects. Wang Changsheng took Wu Ling 'er to the secular world and went to Feng Province, where the Taiqing Palace was located, as a mortal.
Since they ran to the secular world, they did not encounter any more attacks.
After a long time together, the relationship between the two had become much closer. Wu Ling 'er was quite interested in the Talisman Technique. When she had time, she would ask Wang Changsheng about it. Wu Ling' er's questions were very simple, and Wang Changsheng would answer them.
In return, when Wang Changsheng asked Wu Ling 'er about the Witch Clan's magic, Wu Ling' er also answered one by one. She also taught Wang Changsheng a few words of the Witch Clan's language. The two of them got along very well.
"By the way, Wang Daoyou, how far is it from here to the Taiqing Palace?" Wu Ling 'er seemed to have thought of something and asked.
"I don't know exactly how far it is, but as long as we leave Zhao Province and enter Chuan Province, we can use flying magic tools to hurry on our way. Chuan Province is controlled by several righteous sects, so we don't have to worry about meeting people from the Devil Dao Sects," Wang Changsheng thought and said.
"Sir, here are your dishes." At this moment, the waiter walked in slowly with a tray in his hands.
The waiter nimbly served the dishes on the table and retreated.
Wu Ling 'er used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of food and put it into her mouth.
"Not bad, it's delicious." Wu Ling 'er's eyes lit up as she praised.
Wang Changsheng heard this and smiled slightly. He also picked up a piece of food and put it into his mouth.
After half an hour, Wang Changsheng and Wu Ling 'er walked out of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. The two of them mounted their horses and quickly rushed out of the city.
Ping Yang City was the only city within a few thousand miles. Outside of Ping Yang City, there was a large area of desolate mountains and wilderness.
Wang Changsheng and Wu Ling 'er quickly ran on the official road. At first, they could see many merchants, but after a while, they couldn't see any more merchants.
In the evening, Wang Changsheng and Wu Ling 'er came to the side of a hundred feet wide river and stopped.
After continuous running, the horses were very tired. Wang Changsheng and Wu Ling 'er had to stop to let the horses rest and replenish their water.
Wang Changsheng tied the horses to the river and let them drink and eat by themselves. He then chatted with Wu Ling 'er.
While the two of them were happily chatting, a green light flashed in the distant sky. Then, a sharp cry sounded. A two-headed strange bird covered in green light fell from the sky and landed near the river.
With a loud peng noise, the two-headed strange bird smashed into the ground not far in front of Immortal Wang, turning into a pile of meat paste. Beside the two-headed strange bird was a middle-aged man who didn't have any signs of life.
The middle-aged man's whole body was purple. Purple blood seeped out of his mouth, ears, mouth, and nose. Obviously, he was poisoned to death.
Seeing this, Wang Changsheng and Wu Ling 'er's faces changed. They looked at each other.
Before the two of them could react to what was going on, a sharp cry came from the sky. Seven or eight red shadows appeared in the sky and landed in the sky above the river.
"The seven or eight red figures are astonishingly seven or eight cultivators in red robes. These people are not very old, but they are all Foundation Establishment cultivators. The leader is a tall and handsome young man. The magic power fluctuations on his body indicate that he is in the late Foundation Establishment stage.
"Yi, this traitor has already died from the poison. This is good. We don't have to waste any more time," a fat, dark-faced man said.
"Junior Sister Chen, take his soul and bring it back to the sect to torture. Don't think that everything is over just because he is dead," the handsome young man said to a gorgeous woman beside him.
"Yes, Senior Brother," the gorgeous woman nodded. With a flip of her hand, a black round bowl appeared in her hand.
The gorgeous woman made a hand seal with one hand. Then, she cast a spell on the black alms bowl. The black alms bowl spurted out a beam of black light. Then, it flew toward the middle-aged man's corpse. It hooked a white ball of light from the corpse, and pulled it into the black alms bowl.
"Senior Brother, there are two people passing by. Do you want to take their souls as well?" the dark-faced man said, pointing at Wang Changsheng and Wu Ling 'er.
The handsome young man glanced at Wang Changsheng and Wu Ling 'er. He raised his eyebrows and slowly said, "Forget it. We still have important things to do. Let's hurry back to the sect and report!"
Hearing this, the dark-faced man's face was a little disappointed. However, he did not say anything. He nodded and was about to leave.
"Wait, Senior Brother. Don't you think she looks like that person?" Before leaving, the gorgeous woman casually glanced at Wu Ling 'er. Her face changed greatly and she hurriedly shouted.
