Looking at these two strange men with their faces covered with gray cloths, the middle-aged man's expression changed slightly, and he sent out his spiritual awareness to check them out.
He found that the taller one was an ordinary person, and he couldn't judge the Cultivation state of the woman who had spoken earlier. But judging from her young voice, how high could her Cultivation state be?
"They are merely scoundrels who don't dare show their faces."
A disciple of the Sect of Three said, "I'm afraid the city guard sent out a warning this morning to arrest you two."
Seeing the reactions of Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue, the middle-aged man was even more certain that his speculation was correct. He felt a bit relieved, and then his murderous intent arose.
In a place like Chaonan City, even the Cultivation practitioners couldn't kill people at will; but if the person killed was not someone who could see the light of day, who would care?
The middle-aged man gave up the idea of asking for the medicine, and said to Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue with a smile, "Your biggest mistake was giving the medicine to those two monks in the Precious-Tree House."
Then he told the disciples in a serious tone, "Kill them, but don't ruin the medicine."
…
…
A few flying swords rose up in the air, heading toward the other end of the narrow alley, aiming at Zhao Layue.
As the flying swords arrived in front of her, they suddenly produced a few residual shadows, like blooming flowers, and it was hard to tell which sword was the real one.
This was the Three-Flower Sword Style of the Sect of Three, famous for its unpredictability. If the regular Cultivation practitioners were not prepared, they would be hit by the swords as soon as they faced them.
Zhao Layue waved her hand, and the Thoughtless Sword came out, flying around her body at a high speed. It was impossible to see the body of the sword clearly, only a patch of red lines.
Following a few crisp sounds, the flying swords were broken into pieces, dropping to the ground with crisp clanking sounds.
The flying swords of the disciples of the Sect of Three were destroyed, and their Sword Hearts were severely damaged. They couldn't hold on any longer, spitting out a mouthful of blood and falling to the ground.
The Thoughtless Sword hovered in front of Zhao Layue in Silence.
She didn't even try to tell which sword shadow was the real one, and simply chopped them all down.
Sensing the energy from the red flying sword, the middle-aged man's face turned pale, and he was extremely shocked.
He had never felt this kind of energy even from the flying sword of the Sect Master!
Was this the legendary Divine Weapon? Who were they?
…
…
Zhao Layue glanced at Jing Jiu.
At this time, they were less than ten zhang away from the Three Capital Sect.
Within this distance, those in the State of Inherited Will could also control their swords to attack their opponents.
Jing Jiu said, "I haven't killed anyone for many years."
Zhao Layue asked, "What were you doing when we first met?"
Jing Jiu knew that she wasn't talking about the time he jumped in front of her, but the time after that.
At that time, he had just beheaded Zuo Yi of Bihu Peak.
During their brief conversation, the middle-aged man from the Three Capitals Sect finally came to his senses. He summoned his flying sword and prepared to escape.
After confirming that Jing Jiu had no intention of drawing his sword, Zhao Layue shook her head and pointed at the sky with her right hand.
The Thoughtless Sword pierced through the air.
A streak of bright red sword light illuminated the green trees on the side of the alley.
The middle-aged man fell from the sky and landed heavily in the alley. His head was separated from his body, and a large pool of blood splashed out.
The bright red sword light turned around again and arrived in front of Zhao Layue like a flash of lightning.
With a series of cracking noises, the disciples of the Three Capitals Sect, who were spurting blood in pain, could no longer feel any pain, because their heads had also fallen off their bodies.
Zhao Layue walked up to those corpses and scanned them with her Piercing Discernment. Then, she squatted down and searched the corpses.
Seeing this, Jing Jiu was quite appreciative, thinking that this young girl was much stronger than he was when he was young.
The sword fire left the Thoughtless Sword and fell on those mutilated corpses, burning them to ashes in an instant.
Jing Jiu suddenly wondered what his fellow disciples in Aoyama, who regarded Zhao Layue as a fairy, would think if they saw this scene.
Zhao Layue seemed to know what he was thinking. "What others think has nothing to do with me," she said.
Jing Jiu didn't continue on this topic, but said, "The sword fire can't completely erase the traces."
The ashes of the corpses were still there, and there were many ways to find clues in the Cultivation circle, such as the blood stains on the walls. Some sects were good at the Two Worlds Connection, and they could even use the magic methods to deduce the initial scene from the traces left behind. Shui Yue Nunnery was an expert in this field.
Zhao Layue said, "I didn't intend to destroy the corpses, but I was thinking that with so many corpses in the alley, what if I scared the little kids who passed by?"
Killing people without blinking an eye could be considered cruel, but she didn't forget these details. Did it mean that she truly loved this world?
Jing Jiu thought she was similar to his Big Brother when he was young, and asked reflexively, "Are there any famous hotpot restaurants in Chaonan City?"
Speaking of hotpot, the most famous restaurants were all in Yizhou.
There were also hotpot restaurants in the north, but the taste was quite different from the spicy ones in Yizhou. The hotpot was seasoned with sesame sauce, like the one in Zhaoge City.
However, for the residents of Chaonan City, the best hotpot restaurant was the Hongmao Restaurant.
The style of the Hongmao Restaurant was more northerly, so there was no fried crispy meat. Zhao Layue wasn't happy about it, so she ordered seven plates of fresh-cut mutton, her favorite dish since she was little.
Jing Jiu only cooked a few pieces of green vegetables to eat. The soup here was white soup, which suited his taste.
Not far from the Hongmao Restaurant, there was an inconspicuous earthen temple in a remote street.
The two monk doctors from the Guocheng Temple had lived here for a long time.
The old monk was staring at a box in his hand in a daze.
He didn't need to open the box, as he could tell by its smell that it contained the Sedative Icy Pills that he needed the most.
Thinking of the sword light that had just brought the box into the temple, the young monk felt a chill run down his spine. "Senior Master, should we inform the local authorities?" he asked.
The old monk shook his head, saying, "We are the same kind of people."
The young monk was startled, and he came back to his senses after a while. "Are you from the Aoyama Sect?" he asked uncertainly.
The old monk nodded.
Thinking of what had happened in the Precious-Tree House, the young monk thought that it was no wonder that the person in the room on the seventh floor could take out a Xuancao Pill so easily. "Chaonan City is so close to Aoyama, but that Sect of Three dares to act so arrogantly," he said happily.
The old monk had figured out who the person was from the sword light. He couldn't help but shake his head when he heard what his Senior Nephew said, thinking that the Aoyama Sect had always kept a low profile, so what he said was wrong.
"I wonder how Liu Shisui is doing."
The young monk thought of the scene where he fought side by side with the disciples of the Aoyama Sect in the Muddy River a few days ago, and said sentimentally, "Though he is young, he is indeed someone with natural Dao quality, much stronger than me. Moreover, he was able to remain so calm when facing that demon, which is really admirable."
The old monk said calmly, "Calmness usually comes from courage. Cultivationists of the Aoyama Sect don't lack this."
The young monk asked worriedly, "Why did he pass out in the end? I haven't found out where his injury came from, even though I've investigated for a long time. "
There was a sudden noise outside the temple.
