Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 247 After Night

Outside the door, a ragged man in red clothes knelt down to pick up some red pills scattered on the ground, muttering crazy quotes, "Hahaha, mine, all mine, no one can snatch them from me!"

"I used all my belongings to buy this. I will strangle anyone who tries to steal it from me! Hahahaha."

He walked unsteadily and looked dazed, but he would occasionally scream like a madman. He looked at the pill covered in dirt in his hand with greed on his face, and his saliva flowed all over the floor.

The other man who was kicked away by this man just now was a little confused. He crawled on the ground with his mouth trembling, staring fiercely at the man outside the door, "Please, just give me one, hahahaha."

Seeing this, the man in red protected the pill in his hand and kept kicking the man who was holding his thigh. He kicked him once, twice, and three times, but he refused to let go no matter how hard he kicked.

He had no choice but to swallow all the pills. The man holding his legs started to bite him like a madman, gnawing at his flesh and blood. The two of them wrestled with each other.

Su Yu asked Mu Huayan and the others to wait in the inn for a while while he went out to find patrolling soldiers to help. There were many people watching the excitement around them. Mu Huayan stepped on a hard little object.

She lifted her foot and looked down, and saw that it was the red pill that the man had been protecting with his life. She took the pill from the air and carefully put it to her nose and sniffed it.

This is not a life-saving pill, it is clearly a poison, it smells extremely bad with a fishy smell. At this moment, she felt her stomach churning, and she didn't know how the man just swallowed it.

After a while, two patrolling soldiers came and took the two people away. Su Yu stepped forward to apologize: "I'm really sorry, I just received you and encountered a fight."

"It's okay. Maybe the soldiers patrolling your house didn't notice the noise." Mu Huayan said intentionally or unintentionally.

Su Yu smiled awkwardly. She was not very good at being a good host, and she was from the Marquis's Mansion. She was embarrassed by what happened just now. Fortunately, no one recognized her as the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion.

Mu Huayan thought to herself that it seemed that Huayu County was not as peaceful and tranquil as she said. Were those soldiers really patrolling for the sake of patrolling?

"I feel a little uncomfortable and want to rest in this inn for a while." Mu Huayan deliberately showed fatigue and pain on her face.

Su Yu could see that her complexion was indeed not very good, and then she felt her pulse, "Sister Mu may have been frightened just now, so she must be having a headache and palpitations. This place is still some distance away from Tianwen Marquis's Mansion."

She even looked up at the sky. Although the snow had melted, the sky was still dark, and a chilly wind blew from time to time. "Besides, it's getting late. Let's find a place to stay first."

Mu Huayan and the other two immediately thought her words were a little strange. Mu Qing cleverly supported Mu Huayan and said with a smile: "I will help my sister go back to the room to rest first."

Su Yu, who was originally supporting her, had to give up and let go. The street was a little deserted at this time, but it was full of weirdness. It was so deserted that one could hear the footsteps of soldiers walking back and forth in the distance.

Xin Ce half-knelt down and stretched out his hand. The little fox jumped into his palm. The three of them came to the private room on the third floor and entered one of the rooms together. The house was quite spacious. There were soft couches in the hall and in the inner room.

Mu Huayan and the other two looked out the window almost at the same time. When they looked around, they saw only empty streets without any trace of anyone. The cold wind blew, adding a lot of horror to the strange atmosphere.

Suddenly, a person appeared in the sight of the three people, and they all exclaimed in surprise: "Isn't this the innkeeper?"

From the looks of him, it seemed that he was setting up some kind of defensive attack formation. It was really hard to survive these days when even the innkeeper was an Immortal King. Mu Huayan saw that the formation he set up was a four-way continuous killing formation.

This formation consumes a lot of spiritual energy and is rarely used by ordinary cultivators. They will only use it when they encounter a strong opponent or their life is threatened. Therefore, it has another nickname called the Life-saving Formation.

Just as the eyes of several people fell on the innkeeper, the owners of other shops also stepped out of their shops to set up formations. This must be said to be too strange.

"Who and what are they guarding against..." Mu Huayan muttered.

Just as they were thinking, a sweaty man came to the street. He begged the innkeeper to let him in, but the formation had been set up and it was impossible to risk the entire inn for him.

So he had no choice but to find a random shop and break in. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the three people's thoughts were pulled back one after another, "Sister Mu, are you asleep?"

Mu Huayan responded and went to open the door. It was Su Yu who told them not to pay attention to any noises they heard at night. At midnight, Mu Huayan, who was meditating and meditating, noticed the movement downstairs and suddenly opened her eyes.

Mu Qing had already fallen asleep, while Xin Ce outside the hall was also meditating. She opened a crack in the window and looked outside, and found that many demon cultivators had revealed their true forms.

They were wandering around and screaming, and several injured demons were killing and eating each other's flesh. The scene was bloody and cruel and disgusting.

How many secrets are hidden in Huayu County! Before she could open her consciousness, she was detected by the demon cultivator outside. Fortunately, she dodged in time and was not discovered.

After nightfall, the patrolling soldiers disappeared as if dead. All that could be heard around were the crazy shouts and fighting sounds of the demon cultivators. Mu Huayan had an idea in her mind to rush out and kill them all.

But for the safety of Mu Qing and the others, she refrained from taking action. Moreover, she could not alert the enemy and had to find a way to find out the mastermind behind the incident. The current state of Huayu County was probably related to Tianwen Marquis Mansion.

Judging from Su Yu's indifferent expression, she has no idea why Huayu County has become what it is now. How many normal people can there be in this dangerous world...

The sun was gradually rising, and the sunlight shone into the room through the window. The dazzling light made Mu Huayan raise her hand to block it. She stood up and woke up Mu Qing who was beside her.

She was mumbling something: "Baozi, no, they all became immortals, immortal fruits."

Saliva dripped from the corner of her mouth to the floor. Mu Huayan smiled a few times and pinched her cheek. She opened her eyes sleepily and stretched.

"Morning, Senior Sister."

After tasting the breakfast here, several people continued to set off for the so-called Tianwen Marquis Mansion. After walking a few steps, they were tripped by trivial matters. An old man was pleading with people on the street for something.

His sharp eyes fell on Mu Huayan and the others. Before they could react, the old man knelt down and howled. The sound of his wailing and howling was really a headache.

"Please ask some immortals to save my dog."

"I, I have money. No, I have a low-grade spiritual weapon. I just ask you to save my only son who is about to die."

Mu Huayan and the others didn't know what to do. Originally, immortal cultivators were not allowed to have anything to do with mortals, otherwise it would trigger a thunder tribulation. Although this old man had a trace of spiritual energy, he could only be considered a low-level cultivator at best.

Su Yu came forward to help the old man up and said kindly: "I have an ordinary healing pill here, you can give it to your son."

Unexpectedly, the old man did not accept the pill but became even more anxious. He raised his hand to wipe the dust and sweat off his face and pleaded again: "I beg you all, please save my son. I will kowtow to you three times."

Su Yu held him up as he was about to kneel down with an embarrassed look on his face. If they kept delaying, how long would they be able to reach Tianwen Marquis' Mansion? It was indeed easy for a cultivator to save a mortal, but it would be troublesome if he would get into trouble for it.
