Chapter 58: Take It Easy, Don’t Play Them to Death Too Quickly
City Lord Zhou was so scared that he fell to his knees with a thud and said with a trembling voice, “Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I know nothing!”
Mo Ruyu was about to step forward and take action, but Liu Mei stopped her.
She gracefully walked forward, crouched down, and smiled charmingly, “No need to panic, City Lord. I’m not going to eat you.”
“Look up at me.”
The trembling, kneeling city lord looked up and met Liu Mei’s gaze. He found himself irresistibly drawn into her eyes as if by a whirlpool.
“Tell me, what is the origin of those demon monks and what is your relationship with them?” Liu Mei asked coldly.
“I don’t know who they are. I work for them, and they give me wealth and honor,” the city lord replied dazedly.
“Have you betrayed us?” Mo Ruyu asked with murderous intent.
“Yes, they told me to inform them when other cultivators arrive, and they would reward me,” the city lord said.
“How did you contact them, and where are they now?” Liu Mei continued to ask.
The city lord said woodenly with blank eyes, “I don’t know where they are. I usually contact them by burning talismans.”
He took out several different colored paper talismans. Liu Mei looked at them and said, “These are mother-child talismans that work within a thirty-mile radius.”
Mo Ruyu was puzzled, “Could their hideout be nearby?”
Liu Mei continued, “Did they give you any instructions?”
“They told me to burn the talisman when you returned to inform them,” the city lord confessed obediently.
“What about the two men that came with us? Have you seen them?” Liu Mei asked.
“Yes, they were taken away by those people,” the city lord nodded.
Liu Mei’s lips curled slightly. Taken away?
That’s good!
At that moment, Chen Qingyan suddenly drew her sword and lunged forward, decapitating the panicked concubine on the bed.
Liu Mei and the others were stunned, and Luo Xue was completely confused.
Were these demonic women so vicious? Killing without a second thought?
Chen Qingyan bent down and took a similar talisman from the concubine’s hand and said calmly, “It seems there are more spies than just him.”
Liu Mei hadn’t expected this either and nodded, “Thanks to Sister Chen.
“What should we do now, Senior Sister?” Xia Yunxi asked.
“Should we burn one of the talismans?” Mo Ruyu suggested.
“No, if we burn the talisman, they will come prepared, and there are more of them than us,” Chen Qingyan objected.
Liu Mei stood up and stretched lazily, “In that case, let’s make an effort and search within a thirty-mile radius.”
“If I’m not mistaken, they must still be waiting for us within thirty miles of the city.”
Chen Qingyan reminded, “Senior Sister, you’ve used the mother worm to search the surroundings. There could be unexpected surprises.”
Liu Mei smiled slightly, “Don’t worry about that. I’ve been using it the whole time.”
The group agreed, and Mo Ruyu looked at the stunned city lord and asked, “What about this fat pig?”
Liu Mei smiled and gave Chen Qingyan a meaningful look, “Should we give him to Junior Sister Chen?”
Chen Qingyan looked at the fat city lord indifferently, “No need.”
Seeing Liu Mei’s look, Xia Yunxi quickly waved her hands, and Mo Ruyu looked extremely repulsed.
I may be desperate, but not that desperate!
Before Liu Mei could say anything, Luo Xue stepped forward and decapitated the city lord with a swift sword stroke.
“There’s no need to waste time on such a person,” Luo Xue said, although she was a righteous cultivator, she was not soft-hearted.
“Are you afraid that I will absorb him myself?” Liu Mei said with a smile.
“If you like him, I won’t stop you, but if we wait any longer, we might run out of time,” Luo Xue said indifferently.
Liu Mei stopped smiling, locked the door, and placed an avoidance talisman to keep ordinary people away before leaving the city lord’s mansion.
Although the thirty-mile radius around Dongluo City was not large, the group dared not split up and avoided searching at high altitudes, so their progress was slow.
As they were flying, Luo Xue suddenly descended, her expression becoming extremely peculiar, as if she had some unspeakable problem.
“What’s wrong with you?” Liu Mei asked curiously.
“Nothing!” Luo Xue said through gritted teeth.
No other reason, she just needed to urinate!
Even though she hadn’t drunk any water, she couldn’t hold it any longer.
Now she cursed inwardly. Why did a mortal body need to urinate? Couldn’t it just hold it?
This was troublesome. How could she relieve herself?
“What is wrong with you? You’re acting weird. Don’t drag us down,” Mo Ruyu said irritably.
After a long time, Luo Xue couldn’t hold it any longer and said, “I need to relieve myself.”
She was afraid that if she held it any longer, she wouldn’t be able to fight or even walk.
Luo Xue ran to a secluded place, on the verge of breaking down.
But she felt that if she didn’t release the water, she might become the first sword immortal to die from holding her urine.
She could only tremble as she took out the evil thing and relieved herself, her mind going blank in an instant.
As the river flowed, she relaxed completely, followed by a feeling of humiliation.
Luo Xue never thought that she, a proud heavenly maiden, would suffer such a fate. She felt so aggrieved that she almost cried.
This was all thanks to that bastard Lin Fengmian!
After a while, Luo Xue returned with a disillusioned look and angrily washed her hands by the stream.
This confused Liu Mei and the others. Was it really necessary?
Did she get urine on her hands?
After this little episode, the group continued their search.
As the sky darkened slightly, Liu Mei suddenly brightened up, “The mother worm has reacted!”
Following Liu Mei’s lead, the group cautiously approached, eventually finding an ancient temple in a desolate mountain twenty miles north of the city.
The temple was hidden deep in the forest, built very covertly. If not for Liu Mei’s poison insect, they might not have found it.
Liu Mei and the others hid behind rocks and trees, watching from the shadows. They saw several demonic monks around a bonfire roasting wild game at the temple entrance.
The seven of them were eating meat and talking loudly, showing no signs of being proper monks.
Soon after, the temple door opened and a burly demon monk, Fa Hang, came out buttoning his clothes.
“Finished? How was it?” Fa Ming laughed.
“The women of the Joyful Union Sect are really something. Especially after taking the medicine, they scream so passionately,” Fa Hang said lewdly.
“Take it easy, we only captured one. Don’t kill her too quickly,” Fa Ming instructed.
Mo Ruyu gritted her teeth in anger, and if Liu Mei hadn’t stopped her, she would have rushed down to fight them.
However, Luo Xue remained expressionless. When you absorbed others, did you ever think about this day?
To her, it was just a case of dogs biting dogs.
