After leaving the graveyard, Gu Xi immediately headed toward the City Direction not far away.
Black Blood Knights and Undead Servants followed at his side, but under the petals' influence, they had hidden themselves. To ordinary people, it looked as if only Gu Xi, dressed in rotten clothes, was staggering from the graveyard toward the city.
He looked like an undead creature that had just crawled out of a graveyard, seeking revenge.
Any normal person who saw such a sight would think of hiding first.
But Gu Xi did not feel that anything was wrong.
As far as he was concerned, he had clothes now. That was already a good thing, far better than having nothing to wear before.
As for his unsteady steps, that was not much of a problem.
After all, he had been traveling nonstop these past few days. His feet were sore from walking, and the only reason he could still walk was sheer willpower.
How could anyone expect him to walk gracefully under those circumstances?
In Gu Xi's mind, all that mattered was getting into the city first.
He never expected that his behavior would alert the Night Watch inside the nearby city.
In this world filled with the aura of Abominations, every city had people assigned to keep watch at night.
They might not be the strongest people in the city, but they were certainly the most sensitive to undead creatures, Abominations, and similar existences.
The moment Gu Xi made his move, they clearly sensed that something was wrong.
Without asking any questions, they immediately activated the City Defense Weapons atop the city wall and launched an attack at Gu Xi.
These City Defense Weapons were ballistae capable of firing Long Spears as thick as an arm.
Normally, they were used against gigantic monsters.
