The burly man saw that Ning Qi was well-dressed and looked fair and tender. He immediately felt a little uneasy. Moreover, Ning Qi's question was a little strange.
He was here, but he didn't know where he was?
Ning Qi repeated the question with a smile. Only then did the burly man say nervously, "Sir, you can reach the capital after walking a hundred miles from here."
"Oh …"
Ning Qi smiled. Of course, that was not what he wanted to ask. However, after the burly man answered, he immediately pulled the woman and hurried on.
In his opinion, Ning Qi's identity was either rich or noble. It was best for commoners like them not to have too much involvement with such an existence.
Not long after, the passersby nearby saw that Ning Qi seemed to be walking normally, but in fact, he was extremely fast. In just a few moments, he had lost track of Ning Qi. It was a little strange, but they couldn't tell what was strange about it. They even rubbed their eyes, thinking that they were seeing things. When Ning Qi saw that there was no one on the road, he began to run quickly. When there were people, he slowed down. In this way, it did not take long to cover the distance of a hundred miles. In front of Ning Qi, an ancient city appeared. Compared to the huge cities that Ning Qi had seen before, the ancient city in front of him was only a city.
Although the walls stretched for several miles and looked extremely magnificent, they were only seven or eight feet tall! Ning Qi had experience. The higher the city wall, the higher the cultivation of the local cultivators. Back in the capital of the Qin Tang Empire, the city wall was more than seven or eight feet tall. This place was called the capital by the burly man, so it should be the capital of some country. However, the city wall was only seven or eight feet tall. It was very likely on this planet.
However, there was no such existence that could come and go. Or rather, there were very few such existences.
Even the cultivation of a perfected Golden Immortal has been suppressed to the level of a mortal. There is no trace of Immortal Qi here, so the natives here can't cultivate. At most, they can strengthen their bodies.
Ning Qi thought to himself. He felt that his guess was most likely correct. At the same time, Ning Qi had some doubts about the purpose of Old Man Mysterious Sword asking him to come here. This place seemed ordinary, but in fact, it was extremely extraordinary. At the very least, it was a little stranger than the other planets that Ning Qi had been to. After all, Ning Qi had never seen a planet that could suppress the cultivation of Immortal Dao and Demonic Dao.
He had never heard of it either.
"Perhaps the Heavenly Dao of this place is different?"
After pondering for a while, Ning Qi also observed that the guards at the city gate seemed to place great importance on everyone's identity. If they wanted to enter the city, they had to show something similar to a travel permit. This further confirmed Ning Qi's judgment. If it was a place with many cultivators, then entering and exiting the city would not be so strict. This was because cultivators were originally an existence that was not bound by any restrictions. Only some special huge cities could check the identity of cultivators. This place was so strict in checking one's identity, similar to the ancient times on Earth.
Even if there were beings that were different from ordinary people, they were still within the scope of ordinary people and were under the control of the government! Ning Qi raised his head and glanced at the top of the city wall. Every seven or eight zhang, there was a soldier standing guard. These soldiers seemed to be holding some kind of crossbow in their hands. Their eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as they surveyed the surroundings. With Ning Qi's current strength, it would not be a problem for him to cross the city wall.
Eyes, however, were very difficult …
"Murder! The Heng Mountain Bandits are murdering people!! " Suddenly, a handsome horse galloped over. On the horse sat a young man with a panicked expression. There were a few arrows stuck in his body, and there were even more arrows on the horse. There were at least five or six arrows on the horse. Blood continuously dripped down, and the pedestrians on the road all gave way in terror. When the horse reached the city gate, it was already at the city gate.
When the horse reached the city gate, it let out a loud neigh and fell to the ground. The young man on the horse immediately rolled away.
"The Heng Mountain Bandits are here again?"
"Fortunately, we left quickly. Otherwise, if we encountered the Heng Mountain Bandits, it would be difficult for us to escape death!"
"Buddha bless us! Buddha bless us! "
The pedestrians' faces turned pale, and a trace of lingering fear appeared in their eyes.
At the same time, the guards at the city gate immediately helped the young man up and asked him with a solemn expression. The young man pointed in a direction. "Peach Blossom Path …"
Before he could finish speaking, his eyes rolled back and he died. An arrow had just pierced his heart. The fact that he could run to this place was enough to show that his vitality was stronger than ordinary people!
At this time, a middle-aged soldier in armor with an imposing manner and demeanor walked out, followed by a group of soldiers.
"What happened?"
The middle-aged soldier looked at the corpse on the ground with a frown.
"General Lin, this man said that the Heng Mountain Bandits appeared on the Peach Blossom Path 30 kilometers away!"
The soldier hurriedly replied.
"The Peach Blossom Path?"
General Lin's expression suddenly changed. He growled in a low voice, "Bring me the horse quickly!"
"The Peach Blossom Path …"
"The peach blossoms are in full bloom at this time of the year. I heard that many ladies and gentlemen of high officials and nobles like to enjoy the peach blossoms there at this time. I didn't expect that they would encounter the Heng Mountain Bandits. I guess many nobles in the capital will die …"
Some people talked in a low voice, but they looked a little excited.
Ning Qi's eyes flickered slightly. He turned around and walked in the direction pointed by the young man just now. He needed a Travel Permit. There must be something he wanted there! Not long after Ning Qi left, General Lin rushed to the Peach Blossom Path on horseback with hundreds of his subordinates. At the same time, the news that the Heng Mountain Bandits appeared on the Peach Blossom Path was also reported to their superiors. It was not a trivial matter for the Heng Mountain Bandits to appear so close to the capital. Moreover, the Heng Mountain Bandits appeared on the Peach Blossom Path!
If they were not careful today, there would be a big shock in the capital!
The pinkish-white peach blossoms grew all over the branches, blooming like a sea of flowers. They were bright and fragrant, tender and beautiful. Occasionally, a cool breeze would blow, and two peach blossoms would fall. They would merge with the blood on the ground and instantly be dyed bright red. Corpses were lying on the road, the roadside, and under the trees. They were all dead!
Some were killed by knives and axes, some were shot to death by bows and arrows, some were beheaded, and some had lost their limbs. It was a bloody scene.
Most of these corpses were dressed brightly. At first glance, it was obvious that they were not ordinary people. However, there were also some who were dressed like guards, manservants, and maids. Their faces were all filled with extreme horror!
Ning Qi walked in the middle of the road and frowned slightly. Suddenly, a corpse lying on the ground moved! His arm suddenly grabbed Ning Qi's ankle. He struggled to raise his head and looked at Ning Qi for help. Ning Qi found that this person's appearance was 50 to 60 percent similar to his.
