190: Chapter 190 Taking You Out of the City!
Chen Xian let out a bitter laugh upon hearing this.
He had actually been gambling just now!
If he had fought to the very end, he would likely have ended up as a casualty under the swords of those Sword Cultivators!
If he handed over control of his body to the Moon Demon, he could not only fight with all his might but also examine the Moon Demon's true intentions.
This was both a test and a huge gamble!
Judging by the current situation, he had won his bet!
"Young Lord, what should we do next?"
"There must be people within Shanhai City hunting us down in large numbers!"
"Fleeing now will definitely attract everyone's attention!"
Chen Xian stroked his chin and analyzed calmly, "However, if we don't return to Jubei City within three days, the rumors we spread about Li Zhen will collapse on their own!"
"Should we be hunted by a group of Sword Cultivator forces, or by a Quasi-Saint?"
Zhou Duoer wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
"Young Lord, to be honest, I feel like every day since following you has been extraordinarily exciting!"
In the past, she was merely targeted by some lecherous men with ulterior motives.
As long as she dressed a bit dirtier,
it would save her a lot of trouble.
But after following Chen Xian, every day involved either fighting against a Nascent Soul Stage expert or being pursued by a Quasi-Saint.
It was truly thrilling!
Chen Xian patted her head.
"Tsk, isn't that what makes life colorful?"
"It's just that right now, we need to get out of Shanhai City. How can we leave without attracting attention?"
Just as Chen Xian was about to quietly use the System to deduce a plan,
a knock came from the door.
Chen Xian and Zhou Duoer instinctively gripped the hilts of their swords.
Both of them were in their weakest state.
If their whereabouts were discovered by those powerful experts now,
they would likely meet a miserable end!
Knock, knock, knock!
Chen Xian's voice was hoarse as he finally spoke, "Who is it?"
"Our Master has something to discuss with you!"
Chen Xian's heart skipped a beat.
The Master is looking for me?
This meant the other party knew their identities.
Chen Xian's face turned pale as he stood up and shook his head at Zhou Duoer,
signaling her not to make a move.
Instead, he slowly opened the door.
He saw a man in blue standing before him. Although the man exuded no Killing Intent, it was precisely this kind of aura that gave off a dangerous feeling.
"Who is your Master?"
"You will know once you follow me."
The man in blue smiled and said.
Chen Xian watched him warily for a full few seconds.
Then he turned back to Zhou Duoer and said, "Wait for me in the room!"
"Young Lord!"
Zhou Duoer stood up, wanting to follow, but Chen Xian stopped her with one hand.
"Don't worry, I don't think there's any problem!"
With that, Chen Xian turned and followed the man in blue out of the room.
Seeing the man in blue head straight for the adjacent room,
Chen Xian was even more shocked.
Because they had chosen an inconspicuous inn to keep a low profile, yet the other party had managed to appear silently right next door.
This showed that the other party knew their movements like the back of their hand.
The man in blue respectfully opened the door.
"Young Master, please come in!"
Chen Xian cautiously stepped into the room.
Upon seeing the man inside, he was struck dumbfounded, frozen in place as if struck by lightning.
"What's wrong? Can't speak when you see me?"
Chen Xian looked at the old man before him and couldn't help but let out a laugh.
"I just didn't expect it would be you coming to find me!"
Yu Weihu looked at him with an unreadable expression.
"Then guess what I'm looking for you for?"
Chen Xian was stunned.
Not only did he not expect this person to be the one looking for him,
but this fellow actually expected him to guess why he was summoned!
He truly was someone who didn't play by the rules.
Chen Xian pondered for a moment and said lightly, "Senior, you are likely looking for me regarding the matter of leaving the city!"
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
"If Senior wanted to cooperate with the families and Sects behind those Sword Cultivators in the city to capture me, you wouldn't need to bring me here!"
"Senior summoning me here means that you are most likely here to supervise my return to Jubei City!"
It seemed that fellow Li Zhen still didn't trust him, sending a Mahayana Stage confidant, ostensibly for protection, but in reality, as an escort.
If he couldn't produce a way to achieve a Breakthrough to the Quasi-Saint realm within three days, the Right Prime Minister before him might just kill him.
Yu Weihu nodded appreciatively upon hearing this.
He flicked his finger, and an Imperial Decree appeared before him.
Looking at the contents, Chen Xian's face showed a look of understanding.
It was exactly as he had guessed.
"Since that is the case, then pack up quickly and come out of the city with me!"
Chen Xian nodded.
"Remember to disguise yourselves!"
"Why? Senior is the Right Prime Minister of the court. Can't I leave the city openly with you?"
Yu Weihu snorted coldly.
"You kid don't even know the trouble you've stirred up, do you?"
"You massacred over three hundred Sword Cultivators. Excluding the Loose Cultivators, there were over a hundred Disciples from established families and Sects with known names."
"If they come looking for trouble, even I cannot escape unscathed!"
"So, it's better to leave quietly."
Hearing Yu Weihu say this, Chen Xian couldn't help but laugh.
"I see. Then this Junior will pack his luggage and leave the city with Senior!"
After seeing Chen Xian leave,
an obscure and unreadable expression appeared on Yu Weihu's face.
The man in blue asked in a low voice, "Master, should I keep an eye on him?"
"No need. If he has any sense, he should know that besides following me out of the city, he has no other path!"
Half an hour later.
Chen Xian and Zhou Duoer were sitting in a carriage, with Big Yellow and the Moon Demon squeezed in beside them.
The carriage slowly headed towards the South Gate of Shanhai City.
In front of their carriage was another one, and the old man sitting in it was none other than Yu Weihu.
"Who goes there? Halt!"
The man in blue walked ahead and said coldly, "I am a servant of the Right Prime Minister, ordered to leave the city!"
The two Cultivators guarding the gate were momentarily stunned.
One of them said lightly, "Sorry, under orders from the Vice City Lord, no one is allowed to leave the city today!"
The man in blue said coldly, "What if I insist on leaving?"
"Then don't blame us for being rude."
Just then, a voice came from inside the carriage.
"You dare stop even my carriage?"
Yu Weihu emerged from the carriage.
In an instant, he attracted everyone's attention. After all, there was more than one person wanting to leave the city. Although others were blocked by the guarding Cultivators, they hadn't left but were gathered here, waiting for an opportunity.
They never expected to encounter such a great figure.
At this moment, the two guarding Cultivators were also dumbfounded.
They were ordered to guard the city gate and had already refused countless people trying to leave.
But who could have imagined that such a powerful figure with supreme status was hidden within this city?
The two nervously braced themselves against the pressure and said, "Vice City Lord..."
"Have him come see me!"
Yu Weihu's single command made the two feel as if they had been granted amnesty. They quickly crushed their jade pendants to summon the Vice City Lord.
After all, who among them dared to defy such a powerful person?
