Let's return to the moment Jiang Wang and Zhao Rucheng parted ways.
Jiang Wang had walked the road to Illustrious Virtue Hall countless times. He was especially familiar with all the food on the road, the good and the bad.
This was Maplewood City, the place where he had lived and cultivated for many years. As he walked in this city, he felt a sense of calmness and peace of mind that was hard to find anywhere else.
Because he was so relaxed, when the figure crashed into him, he couldn't dodge in time.
No, perhaps he had tried his best to dodge, but he was still hit.
This collision felt very strange. Under normal circumstances, they were not pushed away by the force of the impact. Then, because of their different bases, they were either knocked down or not moved at all.
Instead, they were stuck together.
In other words, this collision seemed to have produced a suction force, not a repulsion force.
This was too strange!
Jiang Wang looked at the black-robed man who was standing so close to him that his hair stood on end.
He had a strong intuition that this person was extremely terrifying. He was no match for him.
The difference in strength was so great that if he wanted to use his identity as a disciple of Maplewood City's Dao Academy to escape and warn the other party, the other party could definitely kill him and then leave easily.
"Looks like you're that guy's junior brother …" The black-robed man leaned close to Jiang Wang's ear and said, "Can I stay at your place for a few days?"
Jiang Wang nodded stiffly.
"Very good." The black-robed man pulled away, allowing Jiang Wang to see his face under the hood. His face was rough, rude, and had a natural sense of viciousness. "You're a smart person. You should know not to do stupid things."
Jiang Wang finally noticed that this person's hooded black robe was very similar to the black robe of the little fatty from Tri-Mountain City. At the same time, this person was bald.
Without much time to think, the bald man's gaze was very dangerous.
First, Jiang Wang was certain that he could not bring this dangerous person home. Neither Zhao Rucheng nor Ling He could help him. They would only be implicated by him. Not to mention that he had An 'an at home.
"But … I live in the Dao Academy dormitory." Jiang Wang swallowed and did not hide his fear. "I'm an inner sect disciple."
"Oh, I've opened my meridians, but I haven't laid the foundation yet. Telling the truth is the beginning of a good cooperation. " The bald man turned around, seemingly satisfied. He put his hand on Jiang Wang's shoulder and walked side by side with him. "But I believe you have a way, right?"
On the street, people came and went, but no one noticed anything strange about them.
In other words, Jiang Wang had to work harder to appear normal so that he wouldn't be killed immediately.
Jiang Wang's mind raced.
First, he said, "That guy's junior brother." Who was the "guy" the baldy was talking about?
Furthermore, this baldy was wearing the same black robe as the little fatty from Three Mountains City.
Jiang Wang had a bold guess — could it be Zhu Weiwo?
In that case, the identity of this bald man was obvious. Heart Devouring Demon, Xiong Wen!
During this period of time, Zhu Weiwo had been constantly pursuing Xiong Wen, and he'd even missed the Three Cities Dao Discussion because of this. Who would have thought that this Xiong Wen would be so audacious as to actually sneak into Maplewood City to play a trick?
This was a sixth stage Soaring Dragon Realm cultivator who had opened the Heaven and Earth Gate.
Even if he had the Four Spirits Body Refining Technique and the Eastern Purple Qi Sword Art, it was impossible for him to defeat this person who was three stages above him.
"There … should be a way, but I have to think … can I think about it?" Jiang Wang wasn't the kind of genius who calculated everything. He tried to stall for time.
"You can. But don't take too long. Because my patience isn't very good. "The bald man appeared very tolerant, and even patted Jiang Wang's shoulder.
The two of them walked forward with their arms around each other, like a pair of close friends.
Jiang Wang continued to analyze.
The day before yesterday was the Three Cities Dao Discussion Conference. He had sensed the conflict hidden after the conference. He didn't investigate the matter that had nothing to do with him. However, Zhao Rucheng had casually mentioned that it seemed to be Wei Quji's revenge for the tragedy of Little Forest Town.
Now that he thought about it, the only thing he could be sure of was that the city must have been heavily guarded during those two days. However, this bald man hadn't leaked any information at all. It was clear that he was skilled in concealing his tracks.
Then, what was the reason for him to appear on the street and find a random person to look for a new hiding place?
There was only one explanation, and that was that his previous hiding place had already been exposed. In other words, Zhu Weiwo had already sensed that he was hiding in Maplewood City!
Perhaps his chance of survival lay here …
But obviously, if this bald man was really Xiong Wen, he would have also noticed this point.
Therefore, he definitely couldn't leave anything behind to warn Zhu Weiwo. Playing tricks under the nose of a Soaring Dragon Realm cultivator was undoubtedly courting death.
Jiang Wang continued to think about where to go next.
He didn't dare to walk in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, nor did he dare to go to the Dao Academy. Without a doubt, those two places were life-saving places. However, this bald man was no fool.
What method did he have?
He definitely couldn't use his own strength to estimate the strength of a Soaring Dragon Realm cultivator. During the Three Cities Dao Discussion, he had already seen Lin Zhengren's battle strength. This Xiong Wen was definitely not weak.
Thoughts appeared one after another, but were rejected one after another.
His head was in a mess. He almost despaired, but he couldn't despair.
He suddenly remembered that he hadn't gone to pick up An 'an today. Would An 'an go home by herself? Would she be afraid?
Then he thought of that little girl called Qingzhi, and that unfathomable old man surnamed Gui.
Perhaps …
He quickly discarded these thoughts. He definitely couldn't bring danger to Jiang An 'an.
However, when he thought of An 'an, he felt a surge of strength.
"I have a friend …" Jiang Wang said with difficulty, "But I can't directly take you to where he lives now. I can't harm him. "
The bald man looked interested. "And then?"
"He has a courtyard in the clan land. He hasn't lived there for a long time, and it's very quiet. No one will disturb him. "Jiang Wang carefully added," But the problem is, his clan is relatively strong. If we aren't careful, it might be a bit troublesome. "
"Oh? How strong? "The bald man's voice had a trace of undisguised contempt. The local clans of Maplewood City were indeed nothing in his eyes.
"It's one of the three major clans, the Fang Clan. They might have a bit of extraordinary strength. I'm not very clear about the specifics. "
The friend Jiang Wang spoke of was naturally Fang Pengju. Looking at the entire Maplewood City, within Jiang Wang's known range, apart from the City Lord's Mansion and the Dao Academy, the only ones that could cause trouble for the Heart Devourer Demon were the three major clans.
Among them, he had no enmity with the Zhang Clan and the Wang Clan, and Fang Pengju had a murderous grudge with him, and Fang Heling had always been pestering him. Last time, he had even fallen out with Fang Zehou …
Most importantly, of the three major clans, he was indeed only familiar with the Fang Clan, and had only been to the Fang Clan's land.
In the small courtyard in the Fang Clan's land that he described, Fang Pengju had once drank and chatted with him, and they had also talked through the night.
Now, it was up to the bald man whether or not he agreed to this choice.
When it came to his own safety, the bald man thought for a while, then said, "Lead the way."
Jiang Wang's heart relaxed.
The first obstacle, passed!
