In the Fifth Ring, the Cultivation World didn't care much about battles and killings between cultivators, but the relationship between cultivators and mortals was very important!
No matter what the reason was, once a mortal was harmed, the punishment would be very severe! Of course, mortals who actively sought death were exceptions!
But if it was a battle between cultivators like them, if the battlefield was set in a city, unless no one ever found out, it would be a serious crime. This was also the reason why they were unwilling to act rashly even though they knew that the target had entered the city. They were afraid of accidents, so the best method was to wait for the target to leave Heluo!
"The two of us are quite lucky to be able to intercept him in Heluo, but the other brothers are in trouble. They've made a wasted trip, and they might even encounter other Swordsman!
If you ask me, we should've moved the location a bit closer to the center of the city and killed Xuanyuan's prestige. We should've let them know that Swordsman isn't the number one in the world. Look at them, their eyes are growing on top of their heads! "
Of course, this was just to boost their courage. If they really had such thoughts, they wouldn't have set the location at Heluo City, which was still two months away from the dome.
The other cultivator had been very careful and had never relaxed his surveillance of that person. Although he couldn't see with his eyes, for a super large orthodox Daoist sect like Wushang, there was no shortage of special cultivation methods. With their identities as senior Foundation Establishment cultivators, they didn't lack methods!
Moreover, that brat didn't seem to be deliberately hiding. It seemed that now that they were close to the dome, their vigilance had dropped a lot. This was good news.
"This brat, he went to the Turbid Hall area after eating and drinking to his heart's content.
The other cultivator sneered, "Xuanyuan Swordsman are all like this. They cultivate the sword, not morality! They don't have any sense of propriety, justice, integrity, or shame. I really don't know how they managed to bring out Swordsman!
But Junior Brother Rugui is also a good-for-nothing. The three of us surrounded one person, and we were all wiped out. No one would believe this. Otherwise, Martial Uncle wouldn't have sent us out. It's really a disgrace! "
The two of them seemed to be chatting happily, but in fact, their attention had been focused on the faint fluctuation of spiritual vigor in the entertainment area of Heluo City. They were both Foundation Establishment veterans with rich combat experience. Both of them were in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Although they were not at the top of the group of Supreme Foundation Establishment, they were still the backbone figures. They were not comparable to Ru Gui who was not proud of himself.
This time, they came to Thousand View Stream to have an exchange between the low-level disciples of the two sects. This kind of exchange was very common in the Fifth Ring, but they didn't expect that Rugui and the other two would die at the hands of a Swordsman who had only been in the sect for three years. It was really a slap in the face, and because of the anger of the crowd, the story of how they split up to intercept Rugui was born.
Lou Xiaoyi's analysis was actually correct, but he forgot that to cultivators, face was often more important than life!
On the watchtower of the southern gate, there was also a figure quietly standing there. He was wearing a white robe and had nothing on him. This was very rare among Foundation Establishment cultivators, and it meant that he was extremely confident in his own strength!
He had been following that person for almost a month. Although it was boring, it was also a test of his tracking ability!
He had to admit that this person was very difficult to deal with. His strength was trash, but he was as cunning as a fox. Even with his ability, he almost gave himself away a few times!
He didn't like this kind of mission. He hoped that it would end soon so that he could do something more meaningful!
In a certain remote courtyard in Heluo City, five Foundation Establishment cultivators were in the midst of preparing themselves. The leader of the group was constantly reminding them.
"Junior Brothers! Although the Lake Mountain Spiritual Conference is in full swing, there are always some shady people who ignore the rules and treat the rules of our Righteous Law Sect as a joke. They take pride in being able to stay in Heluo City. It's as if they have gained a lot of face!
Let's do the opposite. We have to catch them at the scene tonight and properly sweep away the face of these shameless people! We have to let them know that the rules of our Righteous Law Sect are not for them to hear, but for them to see! "
His junior martial brothers agreed one after another. The leading cultivator continued, "That's right.
"Because there are only a few people, we don't need to arrange too many people. I have already made a promise with Martial Uncles. This time, the few of us will be responsible for the inspection. Everyone, be careful. If there are any mishaps and we can't even complete such a small task, none of us will have a good time in front of Martial Uncles!"
Everyone agreed in unison.
The Righteous Law Sect's night inspection was not done every day. Usually, it was done once a month. No one would place the sect's main focus on this! But occasionally, there would be a sudden inspection, depending on the situation. Martial Uncle Jin Dan did not follow every inspection. After all, the people who came here for fun were basically all Foundation Establishment cultivators. Jin Dan rarely appeared. As soon as he heard the slightest movement, he would immediately run away to avoid any awkwardness. Regarding this, the Righteous Law Sect did not care.
This time, it was considered a sudden inspection. Because the number of cultivators in Heluo City had decreased recently, they did not need to use too much strength. Five Foundation Establishment cultivators were enough!
Everyone knew the rules of Heluo City. No one would really fight over this matter. Basically, they would laugh and accept their punishment. It was also because of the unique rules of Heluo City that it attracted many unruly cultivators from the Fifth Ring. They would take pride in being able to spend the night here and play hide-and-seek with the Righteous Law Sect cultivators. This would give them something to talk about.
It was very annoying for the Righteous Law Sect cultivators!
The five people went out in a single file. They did not fly because it would be easy to expose their whereabouts. Instead, they walked forward. Halfway through, they tacitly split up and blocked the several entrances and exits of the area. They were very familiar with this. There was no need for command. Everything was done in an orderly and strict manner.
This was only an extremely ordinary inspection. After finishing, they could go back and cultivate a few cycles.
Lou Xiaoyi strolled through the night of Heluo City. The city was clean, but because of the strict control of all aspects, it lacked the liveliness of other cities.
There were no hawkers walking the streets, no bustling crowds, and of course, no thieves. There were no melons or candy pits all over the ground … Everything was like this. There were pros and cons. It all depended on how you chose.
The only hawker in his line of sight was an old man selling candied hawthorns. Obviously, he was forced by life and had no choice but to take the risk to walk the streets. However, since very few people came out, his business was naturally not very good. There were still more than half of the candied hawthorns on the straw target. According to the current situation, he feared that he would not be able to sell them all tonight.
Lou Xiaoyi took out a piece of loose silver and handed it over. However, the old man clearly did not have change. Although it was only a piece of silver, it was enough to buy several of his candied hawthorns.
Lou Xiaoyi smiled and shook his head. He took the straw target and slung it over his shoulder. Amidst the old man's endless gratitude, he took one of the candied hawthorns and placed it in his mouth to lick.
The taste was not bad. It was sweet and sour!
After turning two corners, there were actually two small customers who ran over to take care of his business! He stuffed two skewers into each person's hands and walked forward happily. When he passed by a dark corner, he quickly changed into civilian clothes. At the very least, he didn't look like a cultivator at first glance.
Soon, they arrived at the entertainment street. They stuck the straw target into the ground and opened their mouths to shout.
"Righteous Law Sect night inspection. Unrelated mortals, step aside!"
