Chapter 428 The King of Ascension Ointment
The leader glanced around the room, then looked at the open window.
He strode over and looked down, immediately spotting a silk scarf hanging on the eaves.
"Damn it! They got away!"
The man turned around, then waved his hand, and the other two quickly began to search the room carefully.
A moment later, having gained nothing, Liu Gang, whom they had captured, began to wail:
"Please, immortal masters, spare me! I know nothing. I was misled. I've told you everything I need to say. That woman is right here!"
Upon hearing this, none of the three men in black robes responded. One of them walked straight up to him and reached out to lift Liu Gang up from the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the man opened his mouth, and a cloud of gray smoke billowed out, quickly spreading to Liu Gang's face.
"Ahhhhh!!"
As soon as the gray mist landed on Liu Gang's face, he let out a pig-like scream. However, his limbs had already been broken by the black-robed men, and his body immediately began to tremble.
In just a moment, Liu Gang's crotch became soaked, and then, the skin on his face visibly withered away, turning into a skin-covered skull a few breaths later!
At that moment, the man in black opened his mouth and inhaled, and a cloud of smoke flew out of Liu Gang's mouth and disappeared back into the man in black's mouth.
After standing there for a moment, savoring the moment, the man spoke in a hoarse voice:
"What this man said is correct; there is indeed a woman with him here."
"However, there is also a pig demon and another woman in this city, but they live separately. Presumably, they are both helping that guy sell yellow seeds."
The other two nodded upon hearing this, and then said:
"As long as we have the portrait, these people won't be able to escape. Let's go back and report to the elders first."
The three exchanged a few words and then calmly walked out of the room, without even taking Liu Gang's body with them.
The restaurant owner, who had been waiting outside, smiled and said when he saw the three of them come out:
“My lords, these people are acting strangely. It seems they really are the people you are looking for.”
The three men sneered at the shopkeeper and said:
"Keep an eye on your restaurant and don't let any more shady characters in."
After saying that, the three calmly walked downstairs and quickly disappeared into the crowd on the street outside.
The restaurant owner watched the three leave before his smile faded and he slowly stood up.
"Those three bastards are nothing more than someone else's three dogs!"
The shopkeeper cursed inwardly, then turned his gaze to the room the three had just left.
A foul stench was already emanating from the open door, which made the shopkeeper even angrier.
"Damn, another one died! This is never going to end!"
Meanwhile, on the other side of the wall, separated from Liu Gang's body, Meng Yunxi was crouching on the ground, trembling all over, not daring to make a sound.
She never imagined she would brush with death again. Luckily, she had rented the room next door in advance, otherwise it would have been really dangerous.
"No, it's too dangerous here. I have to find a way to get out of here."
“My vow only made me obey that man’s orders, but now that he’s gone, I am free.”
Meng Yunxi made up her mind, but did not act immediately. Instead, she remained squatting in place, afraid to make a sound, lest those people turn around and launch a surprise attack.
...
Several more days passed, and suddenly some unfamiliar faces appeared in Blood Kill City.
These people were all wrapped in long robes, obscuring their faces. They looked like rogue cultivators who had entered the city from a chaotic place, but they had an indescribable aura about them.
"I never imagined that Blood Slaughter City in this chaotic land was nothing special. I've seen no more than five people who could withstand one of my attacks, and none who could withstand three."
At this moment, a man in black robes stood at the top of the pavilion, looking down at the intricate streets below, and spoke slowly.
The person standing next to him smiled and said:
“Brother Nanming’s True Scripture of Departing Fire is not something that ordinary people can cultivate. Anyone who can withstand a single move from Brother Nanming can be considered a top expert, a dragon among men.”
Nan Minglie remained calm despite the praise from those around him, and continued speaking in a measured tone:
"Brother Tuoba's Yin-Yang Illusion and Destruction Scripture is also extraordinary; there is no need to be so self-deprecating."
Tuoba Wuji smiled and shook his head upon hearing this, then continued:
"I don't know if the experts from the other palaces have arrived yet. I've been here all day and haven't found any useful information."
Nan Minglie slowly said:
"This is the territory of the Demon Palace. It's a real pity that we can't fully investigate it. If it weren't for worrying about those old geezers deep inside, I would have slaughtered everyone in this city."
Tuoba Wuji glanced at the person beside him and thought to himself that this guy's temper had gotten worse and worse after he cultivated that damn scripture. He was always threatening to kill everyone. Damn, what a madman!
If it weren't for the fact that I still need this person, I would have stayed far away from him long ago. However, this person has a fiery temper and is easily provoked. If any problems arise, I'll let him take the lead.
Several thoughts flashed through Tuoba Wuji's mind, but he smiled calmly and said:
"I am more worried about Changqingzi than this person."
When Nan Minglie heard this name, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and then he slowly said:
"Changqingzi is nothing but a thing of the past. Now, it is my, Nanminglie's, world!"
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Wuji shook his head. He did not believe that Changqingzi, the number one Dao Ancestor in the world back then, was so incompetent. In fact, he thought that the other party had been plotting something by faking his death.
But these are things that the old guys above need to consider, after all, he didn't participate in the Great Battle of Changqing Palace back then.
"Let's go, let's go back to those ointment shops tomorrow and see if we can find any clues."
Tuoba Wuji shook his head one last time, then turned around and slowly walked down from the pavilion.
Scenes like these were happening all over the city, and the entire Blood Slaughter City was suddenly filled with undercurrents, like the calm before a storm.
On that very day, a large number of yellow seeds suddenly appeared again in the city.
Moreover, the source of Huang Zi's channel this time is very clear: it is actually the Blood Forest, which is hundreds of thousands of miles away from this place!
According to caravans in the city, large quantities of yellow seeds are being openly sold on the plains outside the Blood Forest.
At first, they didn't believe it either, but this person not only sold genuine goods, but also at very low prices.
This man was dressed in a black robe and reeked of the stench of an apothecary. He also uttered a sentence as the caravans left.
"Want some Yellow Coins? I've left a huge amount of them in the Crimson Forest. Want them? Come on! Go find them! Once you find them, they'll all be yours alone!!"
