They didn't even care about the hunters in the mountains, much less the salute. They could only treat them as abandoned pawns.
There was a peach tree by the canal beside the school, and there were houses all around, so they didn't have to worry about being discovered by the people in the mountains. When choosing the location, some things had been considered.
Zhuge Chi directly pulled Hai Wuji into the water. After observing the surroundings, Zhuge Chi suddenly pressed Hai Wuji into the water, and he fell down with him.
He cast a spell to split the water, and with one hand holding the person, they quickly broke through the water like a fish under the cover of the two sides of the canal.
Passing through the canal, they turned into a small river outside the village. The water was deeper, and Zhuge Chi led the person through the water, maintaining a high level of vigilance along the way.
Fortunately, they had informed the Misty Pavilion in time. To avoid alerting the enemy, the Misty Pavilion had not started a large scale blockade, and was only monitoring them carefully.
They left the small river, which meant that they were far away from the village.
Once they were out of the small river, they followed the flow of the water and escaped into the big river outside, quietly escaping ….
In the village, the villagers didn't know that two people had disappeared. They each lived their own lives. The peddler and the teacher were not close to the villagers, so no one cared.
The couple, who were repairing, were not in a hurry to leave, and even stayed in the village for a meal.
After packing up all the repairs in the village, the couple fed the donkeys with fodder, and then packed their bags again.
They left just as they came, with only a few more copper coins on them. The woman was still counting the coins in her palms.
On the mountain road, the couple were stared at the whole time.
After leaving the mountains, they reached the official road, and the couple still walked with the donkeys.
On the way, they saw a pavilion, and an old man sat in it, with two buckets beside him.
Seeing passersby, the old man shouted, "Water for sale, water for sale! Sweet mountain spring water to quench thirst!"
The husband nodded slightly to the old man.
The old man knew that the matter was settled, and immediately stood up, as if going to attract customers to buy water, but he said something else, "Keep going, don't stop. It's too conspicuous if the road suddenly disappears. When you see the pier, take the water route, and leave by boat. This is to prevent people from finding out where you are going. "
The husband said, "How do we contact them?"
The old man quickly said, "One of the ships is on our side. It will contact you when it sees you."
After exchanging a few words, the two parties separated. The husband and wife waved their hands to indicate that they did not want to buy it and continued to walk forward.
The old man failed to attract any guests and returned to the pavilion with a regretful look.
He was none other than Rulai Sha's trusted aide, Wang Zun. After meticulously putting on a disguise, he personally controlled this matter.
After waiting for a while and seeing that there were no more pedestrians on the road, the old man picked up two buckets of water and left. Along the way, he called out to passersby as usual.
Two riders came and stopped the old man to buy some water.
During the transaction, the old man asked in a low voice, "Have you remembered all the villagers in that village?"
One of them said in a low voice, "Brother, are you out of your mind? How to remember? There was no way to remember, only the name. They only saw the name list, which was secretly copied by the Misty Pavilion. They did not dare to disturb the people who were familiar with the situation in the village. A centipede dies, but it does not fall down. If this person can hide here, he must have made some arrangements. We only saw the name list, we do not know the villagers at all. "With that said, he took the ladle from the other person.
The old man said, "Are the villagers able to see some signs? Everyone, open your eyes wide. There may be outsiders coming in recently. Once you find someone not from the village entering or leaving, find a way to force them to reveal their identity without alerting them. "
"Understood." The two of them answered softly. Then, each of them threw a silver coin to the old man and waved their hands, indicating that there was no need to keep the change.
The old man quickly nodded and bowed in thanks. He watched as the two of them mounted their horses and left.
After that, the old man carried his pole and continued on his way …
Clearwater Hill. As its name suggested, it was a beautiful place with verdant hills and clear waters.
Zhuge Chi dragged Hai Wuji out from the depths of the forest and landed on the hill. He saw a person fishing by the stream at the foot of the hill. There was no one else around, so he could only walk towards the person.
He walked to the person's side and asked, "Who is it?"
The person was fishing but did not speak. He had no choice but to look around and confirm that there was no one else.
Hai Wuji looked around, feeling very nervous. They were running for their lives.
They did not dare to contact their own people, so they knew nothing about the situation. They had no idea what they were going to face.
The angler suddenly swung his fishing rod, and the fishing line swept across the two people behind him. The hidden power of the fishing line shocked Zhuge Chi.
Zhuge Chi hurriedly reached out and grabbed the fishing line that was cutting towards Hai Wuji. He used his other hand to pull Hai Wuji behind him.
The two people who were pulling the fishing line were in a deadlock. Zhuge Chi was shocked by the other person's cultivation. While the other person's cultivation might not be higher than his, it was definitely not something that a cultivator below the Nascent Soul stage could possess.
However, looking at the other person's back, he did not seem to be hostile.
Zhuge Chi asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"
The angler suddenly released his transcendence energy on the fishing line, and it snapped. Only then did he slowly stand up.
Zhuge Chi suddenly looked up and saw a bamboo raft appear at a bend in the waterway. There were two people standing on the bamboo raft, and they were slowly moving along with the current.
As the bamboo raft passed by the hill, the two people on the raft stepped on the water and onto the shore.
The two of them were none other than Niu Youdao and Yun Ji who had changed their appearances. Niu Youdao had personally come to observe the situation and confirm that he had come. There were indeed some things that could not be careless. If he did not personally come, he would not be at ease.
Niu Youdao looked at the angler, and the latter nodded slightly. Finally, he said, "Based on their cultivation, it should be correct."
Niu Youdao's gaze swept over the two people who were on high alert, and he chuckled. "Don't be nervous, we're on the same side." Then, he pointed at the two people. "Zhuge Chi, Hai Wuji!"
Zhuge Chi's expression was cold. "Who exactly are you?"
Niu Youdao's gaze focused on Hai Wuji, and the smile in his eyes deepened. As long as this person was here, it would be good. As long as this person was here, Zhuge Chi would be meat on the chopping block, and it would not be easy for him to lose control. Very good!
As for who Zhuge Chi was, he would definitely not tell them, especially since Hai Wuji was here. He had played a part in the destruction of Hai Wuji's country, so it would not be good for the other party to know his identity for now. Zhuge Chi smiled. "Who I am is not important! But I am definitely someone who is against the Nine Saints. Before you truly join us, before we can truly feel at ease with you, how can I tell you who I am? "
Zhuge Chi asked, "If you don't feel at ease, why are you looking for us?"
"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for you. This has nothing to do with him." Niu Youdao pointed at Hai Wuji, and said, "He can stand aside. We are only interested in your cultivation, because we have a group of people with the same level of cultivation as you. You've already experienced it yourself. If you don't believe me, you can try again. "He raised his hand and gestured.
Yun Ji immediately stepped forward, and a majestic aura emanated from her body as she rushed towards the other party.
Another Nascent Soul adept? As a Nascent Soul adept, Zhuge Chi naturally had a certain level of perception.
A group of Nascent Soul adepts? Zhuge Chi was secretly shocked. He felt that it was already an exception for him to be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, so why would a group of them suddenly appear? It couldn't be the Nine Saints who had come to greet them, could it? That was impossible. It seemed that there were indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this world.
A group of Nascent Soul adepts? Hai Wuji's eyes flickered, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.
Niu Youdao smiled at his expression, because he liked the look in Hai Wuji's eyes.
"Who exactly are you people?" Zhuge Chi repeated his question in bewilderment.
Niu Youdao said, "If you want to know more about us, then join us. I'm sure you can guess why we're looking for you. You're afraid of the Nine Saints, so you're hiding. We're the same. The Nine Saints have cultivated for many years, and their strength is unfathomable. We haven't fought them before, so we don't dare to act rashly. We can only silently accumulate our strength and wait for a good opportunity. Only by joining forces like us do we have a chance of fighting them. If you fight alone, you're definitely not a match for the Nine Saints. That means you'll have to hide for the rest of your life. "
"The Nine Saints were able to find you because they've monitored your informants. You can no longer communicate with the outside world. If you don't come with us, where can you go with such a burden? Do you still expect your subordinates to arrange a place for you to stay? You don't even know who the Nine Saints have their eyes on, so who do you dare to look for? "
"If the Nine Saints discover that you're missing, they'll definitely turn the sky and earth upside down to search for you. With such an obvious burden, it's not safe for you to hide anywhere."
"Besides, you already know of our existence. If you don't agree, we won't let you leave alive."
Zhuge Chi's face tightened. He didn't expect to run into a group of existences like this. He didn't know how strong they were, but there were at least two Nascent Soul adepts in front of him. He turned to look at Hai Wuji. He might not be able to protect Hai Wuji by himself.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked Hai Wuji, "What does Your Majesty think?"
Hai Wuji decisively said, "Fine, we'll join you!"
He was very clear in his heart that he had been unwilling before, but now he really did see the hope of restoring his country.
Unexpectedly, Niu Youdao waved his hand and said, "Hai Wuji, you're mistaken. I said that you can stand aside. I said that you're a burden. Why bring you along? Not only are you useless, but you're also a burden. " He then raised his chin at Zhuge Chi. "What's the point of keeping him? He's just a burden. Just get rid of him."
Hai Wuji's face was filled with awkwardness. His heart tightened as he stared at Zhuge Chi's reaction, afraid that he would be abandoned.
The situation was clear. He knew something he shouldn't know. If he was abandoned, it would mean death!
Zhuge Chi once again shielded him behind him. He said in a low voice, "No! If you want me to join you, I can, but I have to bring him along. Settling one person is still settling, and settling two people is the same. You can't possibly lack food for one person, right? If I don't agree, if you dare touch a single hair on his head, I'll fight you to the death! "
He was willing to sacrifice his life to protect him! Niu Youdao smiled, very satisfied with this result. He laughed heartily. "Zhuge Chi, I'm just joking. Don't take it so seriously. If you really were a heartless person, we wouldn't dare to accept you."
Hearing this, Hai Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. He had just been frightened badly.
Zhuge Chi also let out a sigh of relief.
Niu Youdao turned to the angler and said, "Take them with you. Be careful on the way."
The angler immediately shook the bell in his hand. Very quickly, an avian steed leaped out of the mountains and swooped in their direction.
