#191 - Please don't go any further.
As evening approached, Xu Ming led Mo Zhu'er and Shen Sheng Sheng out of their room and downstairs to the inn's main floor, where they ordered several dishes and openly ate their dinner.
As they expected, the dinner was indeed poisoned.
Xu Ming felt that if he hadn't increased many strange attributes over the years, making him more sensitive to poisonous substances,
he, like most cultivators, wouldn't have noticed the anomaly in the food and would have easily fallen victim to it.
As for why Mo Zhu'er could also detect it like him,
Xu Ming didn't know the reason.
Perhaps Mo Zhu'er had received special training?
After all, a woman like her, constantly in the Demonic Sect, should have her vigilance maxed out.
After finishing dinner, the three of them returned to their room.
Past the midpoint of Xu Shi (7-9 PM), the sky had completely darkened, and Rouge City's nightlife was just beginning, with many brothels officially welcoming guests at this time.
The streets and alleys were filled with laughter, and when you passed by a brothel, you could even feel it subtly vibrating.
The disciples of the Joyous Union Sect looked at the moonlight, feeling that the time was almost right.
But just as the disciples of the Joyous Union Sect were about to make their move,
they suddenly saw Xu Ming and the others walking out of the inn, heading straight in one direction of the street, talking and laughing.
The disciples of the Joyous Union Sect exchanged glances, not expecting these three to come out.
"Go notify the Sect Master, we'll follow them immediately," a deacon of the Joyous Union Sect decided.
"Young Master, should we follow them?" the old servant asked.
Ji Wuming chuckled a few times: "They had some trouble in the inn, but now that they've come out, it'll be easier to deal with. Let's go! Follow them!"
And just half an incense stick (approx. 5 minutes) after the "Xu Ming trio" left the inn, Xu Ming and the others left the inn through the window, quickly heading in another direction of Rouge City.
If Rouge City wasn't covered by a no-fly formation, Xu Ming and the others would have flown away long ago.
"We need to move faster, those three scarecrows can only last for half an hour at most," Mo Zhu'er estimated.
"Is it possible that you're too optimistic? Maybe those three little scarecrows can't even last half an hour?" Xu Ming glanced at Mo Zhu'er.
Mo Zhu'er: "."
In the east of Rouge City, the "Scarecrow Xu Ming" trio kept walking forward, the three scarecrows not saying a word.
Ji Wuming and the disciples of the Joyous Union Sect who received the order kept following them.
At first, Ji Wuming was wondering where they were going? Thinking about where would be a good place to attack with fewer people around.
But the further he followed, the more Ji Wuming felt that something was wrong, and he became suspicious.
Why weren't they saying a word? It seemed like they were just walking forward on their own.
Until a man bumped into Mo Zhu'er's shoulder, the man apologized, but the three of them ignored him and walked straight ahead, Ji Wuming completely realized that something was amiss.
"Something's not right!" Ji Wuming frowned.
The old servant was stunned: "Young Master, what's not right?"
"These three people are very strange," Ji Wuming tightly gripped his fan, "They are like puppets!"
As soon as he said that, Ji Wuming quickly walked forward, and in full view of everyone, Ji Wuming drew his long sword and slashed horizontally, the heads of the Xu Ming trio rolling off their necks.
"Murder!"
"Murder in the street!"
The passersby who saw this scene covered their mouths and shouted.
But soon, everyone noticed that although the heads of these three people were chopped off, there wasn't a drop of blood!
The three "people" of Xu Ming slowly fell to the ground, the three people constantly changing, and finally turned into scarecrows covered in white paper.
"We've been tricked!"
Staring at the three scarecrows, Ji Wuming tightly held the long sword in his hand.
On the other side, Xu Ming and the others had already left Rouge City and flew towards Profound Moon City.
As long as they could enter Profound Moon City, then basically their group would be safe.
Profound Moon City is directly under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Profound Gate.
No one really dared to kill people at will in Profound Moon City, otherwise, it would be a blatant slap in the face to the Heavenly Profound Gate.
But the problem was that Xu Ming and the others didn't know if they could successfully enter Profound Moon City.
If nothing unexpected happened, the Joyous Union Sect was already frantically looking for them.
The Joyous Union Sect's plan had been exposed, and they wanted Xu Ming and Mo Zhu'er to die even more.
Otherwise, Xu Ming and Mo Zhu'er also had certain forces behind them, and if they wanted revenge, the Joyous Union Sect would be in trouble!
Outside Rouge City, those scattered disciples of the Joyous Union Sect received orders and kept searching.
"Who are you! Stop! Don't fly forward anymore!"
Two disciples of the Joyous Union Sect were patrolling in the air when they discovered two unknown figures.
"Stop, I told you to stop! Did you hear me!"
"Boom!"
As the two figures got closer and closer, the man carrying a girl on his back punched out, and the other party directly exploded into a cloud of blood.
"Not good! Quickly notify the Sect Master!" a male disciple shouted, but in the next moment, he was smashed into a cloud of blood by Xu Ming.
Another disciple of the Joyous Union Sect was shocked, and when he saw the man rushing towards him, he quickly released a signal flare.
The last disciple of the Joyous Union Sect died under Xu Ming's fist, but the fireworks had already exploded in the air.
"Let's go, we need to be faster," Xu Ming said.
"Understood," Mo Zhu'er nodded seriously, no longer as playful as before.
The Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect was not a fool, he had already guessed that Xu Ming and his party might go to Profound Moon City, so he sent many disciples to patrol the road to Profound Moon City.
And now the fireworks exploding in the air proved his guess.
The cultivators who saw the fireworks rushed towards Xu Ming's direction.
Xu Ming and the others encountered more and more disciples of the Joyous Union Sect, and the three of them broke through the encirclement again and again.
Every time Xu Ming threw a punch, a person would be destroyed both in body and soul, and the sleeves in Mo Zhu'er's hand pierced through the bodies of cultivators one by one, and the soft sword around her waist was drawn out, piercing the heart of the attacker like a snake.
Shen Sheng Sheng, who had been hanging on Xu Ming's neck, also played a significant role.
Shen Sheng Sheng turned into a cannon, spitting black flames at anyone who came near.
Mo Zhu'er felt that this little girl was becoming more and more extraordinary.
"Why don't you all stop going forward?"
Just as the three of them were no more than ten miles away from Profound Moon City, a voice of law came.
A ray of light fell from the sky, and the Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect stood in front of Xu Ming and the others.
[I came back from attending a classmate's wedding, and I was quite emotional. It's been more than ten years since I met my brother. I knew him since junior high school. The teenagers who were ignorant together and went to internet cafes together have now started a family.
Time, ah...
It's always so caught off guard in the midst of carelessness.]
