Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

As long as you remain steadfast.

I believe that as time goes by, Lingxue's feelings for me will gradually fade, and she will give up on me.

It's like having a crush on your deskmate in junior high school; when you look back on that time in college, it's a bittersweet memory.

Stopping thinking about these things, Su Li sped up and flew towards Xuanming City.

I and Jiang Ningzhi will meet in Xuanming City.

Meanwhile, Liu Wu, who left Henyi Sect two days earlier than Su Li, had already arrived at the city gate of Xuanming City.

Standing beneath these towering city walls, gazing upon the city, Liu Wu's brow furrowed slightly.

Above Yu Xuanming City, endless blood and death energy permeated the air.

……

……

Please vote for me!

Please, gentlemen, give me some monthly tickets... Waaaaah... My family is starving...

Chapter 357 Hurry up...hurry up...

After flying for a day and a night, Su Li landed as she approached Xuanming City.

Xuanming City is a small city ruled by mortals, much like a city-state.

However, when Su Li arrived at Xuanming City and stood beneath the city walls, he sensed that something was amiss.

A black aura of death permeated the sky above this city!

The entire city gave off an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

It was as if the city in front of him had been completely swallowed up by a black, deathly swamp.

To be honest, if it were before, Su Li would have simply taken a detour and would never have entered this city.

But Su Li thought that Jiang Ningzhi might be waiting for him here, or perhaps Jiang Ningzhi might have encountered some problem in the city.

Su Li also felt that she had to go in.

Before entering, Su Li sent a message via a flying sword to the Myriad Swords Holy Land, briefly explaining his identity and the situation there, hoping that the Myriad Swords Holy Land could send someone to support him.

The reason why the message was not sent to Henyi Sect was that although this town was an independent small town, it was divided into regions.

The ruler of this small town is the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Swords.

It is one of the nine holy sites of the world.

If you send a message to the Henyi Sect yourself, the Henyi Sect cannot directly send an elder over.

Otherwise, this would be considered a provocation of the authority of the Myriad Swords Holy Land by the Henyi Sect.

So even if the Henyi Sect is notified, the Henyi Sect will still have to tell Wan Jiansheng.

By the time both sides have finished arguing, it might be too late.

"It shouldn't be anything serious, right?"

With this glimmer of hope, Su Li comforted himself and entered the town.

As Su Li stepped into this town, she immediately regretted her decision...

Because Su Li realized she couldn't get out!

He stepped into a magic circle.

This magic circle allows entry but not exit!

For a moment, Su Li felt a little flustered.

But panicking won't help.

After passing through the city gate, Su Li arrived at the main street of the city.

To Su Li's surprise.

In Su Li's view, the town was filled with black death energy, so logically speaking, there should be no life in the town and not a single living person.

It should be like that zombie city I visited last time.

However, the streets of Xuanming City were very lively.

A married woman was walking down the street with her child, who was arguing that he wanted to eat candied hawthorns.

There are small vendors selling all kinds of snacks and trinkets.

There were also waiters calling out at the entrance of the restaurant.

There were also scantily clad young women at the seafood market beckoning passersby to buy seafood, assuring them that their seafood was absolutely fresh.

The street, which should have been desolate, was bustling with activity at that moment.

It was bustling like an ordinary town, as if everything was perfectly normal.

However, the more normal a town seems, the more abnormal it actually is!

Su Li opened the script system.

"???"

Above everyone's head, their scripts are all the same color: black!

It was a dead, absolute black!

Just randomly open someone's script.

The script only had two words written on it.

[Dead.]

......

Liu Wu left the inn and walked through the town, observing the people there; everything seemed so normal.

Today marks the third day since Liu Wu arrived in Xuanming City.

When Liu Wu was at the gate of Xuanming City, she also sensed something unusual about the town.

The soaring aura of death sent chills down one's spine at first glance.

Just like Su Li.

When Liu Wu entered Xuanming City and saw the bustling streets, she was completely stunned.

Although Liu Wu is not a Taoist cultivator, she does not possess the Taoist "eye of delusion".

However, as a sword cultivator who has just entered the Jade Purity Realm, Liu Wu's sword heart will give a warning if she encounters demons or monsters.

Looking at these people, Liu Wu knew something was definitely wrong with them, but her sword heart didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Then I stayed at Xuanming City for a few nights.

Everything was normal, from the shop owners and waiters to the food.

Even late at night, women struggling to make ends meet would slip small cards under their doors.

This is outrageous...

However, the more normal things seemed in the city, the more abnormal Liu Wu felt they were.

"Am I just overthinking things?"

Liu Wu thought to herself.

On that day, Liu Wu still planned to proceed to her residence as originally intended.

The place where I first met her.

But when Liu Wu reached the street corner, she hesitated and stopped in her tracks at the courtyard not far away in the alley.

"Forget it, I'll go to the city lord's mansion to take a look. I'll see her after I've dealt with this."

Liu Wu turned and left.

But before Liu Wu could take more than a few steps after turning around, she stopped again, shaking her head with a smile.

"Run, run, run... I've been on the run for so many years, do I have to keep running now?"

Liu Wu took a deep breath and walked towards that courtyard.

Before entering the courtyard, Liu Wu knocked on the door.

But no one answered the door.

Then Liu Wu knocked on the door again.

No one answered the door.

Liu Wu frowned slightly, sensing that something was wrong.

Finally, Liu Wu flipped herself into the courtyard.

Looking at the familiar rattan chair and swing in the courtyard.

Scenes from the past resurfaced in Liu Wu's mind.

Liu Wu's rough hands stroked the stone table in the courtyard.

The thick layer of dust piled up on the stone table indicated that the courtyard had been uninhabited for a long time.

Has she already left?

Or did something happen to her?

Looking at the courtyard, Liu Wu frowned.

Liu Wu believed in her master. Since her master said he hadn't killed her, she must still be alive.

Moreover, Liu Wu believed that if she were still alive, she would not have left.

Looking up at the dark aura swirling above the town, Liu Wu knew something must have happened in the town!

Liu Wu turned around, left the courtyard, and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion, intending to meet the City Lord of Xuanming City and inquire about the affairs of the city.

And just as Liu Wu left.

A cold wind blew through the courtyard.

In the wind, it seemed as if the girl's anxious and worried voice echoed:

"Brother Liu...don't go to the City Lord's Mansion..."

Get out of here quickly...

Brother Liu... hurry... hurry...

……

Too many unpleasant things have happened lately, but I believe everything will gradually get better!
