You Still Say You're Not with the Demon Cult?!
At dawn, as the east began to lighten with the faint glow of dawn, a dreamy butterfly flew out from Cloud-Stepping Tower.
The Bronze Chariot quietly drove out of Cloud-Stepping Tower, facing the morning dew, and followed the dream butterfly from afar. After traveling through the vast Imperial Capital for half an hour, it went from the bustling city to the chaotic marketplace.
The streets were dirty and messy, with a complex and chaotic network of lanes that made it difficult to see clearly.
The difference between this and Mud Horn Alley in Purple Sun Prefecture is probably that this one is larger.
"There are places like this in the Imperial Capital?"
Li Mo thought to himself that if Ice Block came here, the probability of him getting lost would be about 1,000%.
Every city has its shadows.
Xiao Qin had never been to the Imperial Capital, but he seemed quite accustomed to such scenes.
"Amitabha." Murong Xiao looked at the straw mat on the street corner and softly chanted a Buddhist prayer.
A corpse was wrapped in a straw mat. It was unclear whether the body had never worn shoes before or if the shoes had been stolen after death, as only a pair of bluish-black feet were visible.
That strange feeling welled up in Li Mo's heart again.
It's the same city, yet on one side there are Wind and Moon Cottage with porcelain buildings and roads paved with gold and jade, while on the other side there are frozen corpses.
Before long, the dream of butterflies vanished.
Qin Yuzhi's voice came as the dream of butterflies faded away:
This is it.
Looking ahead, there was a single-story house with its door slightly ajar.
Peering through the crack in the door, Li Mo frowned and pushed the door open.
A damp, musty smell wafted from inside the door, and the furnishings, apart from a bed, were extremely bare.
A corpse lay face up on the bed.
It was Lu Zhuang, who Lu Zhuang as thin as a rake.
Even outside the Imperial Capital, Divine Observation Realm Shenjing was a respectable martial artist, yet he died a gruesome death, with several rats crawling and gnawing on his body.
"It was indeed the right decision for this humble monk to come with Brother Li; this Heavenly Venerable Sauce has caused immense harm."
Murong Xiao looked reluctant and sighed again.
On the way here, he already knew that this person had only himself to blame.
"Cough, it's Divine Strength Powder!"
Li Mo let out a deep breath and emphasized.
If he had known it would turn out this way, he wouldn't have given the Instant Noodles recipe to the Demon Summoning Cult; he would have preferred to forgo the Power of All Living Beings.
He just hadn't expected the Blood Refinement Hall to be so unconventional.
Of course, even without Heavenly Venerable Brand Instant Noodles, Divine Strength Powder would still spread in other ways.
"He probably died around midnight yesterday," Xiao Qin concluded.
"His physical body was almost completely empty, his Qi and Blood and life force exhausted, devoured entirely."
Huang Donglai was speaking.
Squeak!
Suddenly, a rat's eyes flashed with ferocity. After eating Lu Zhuang's flesh, it became several times larger than an ordinary rat. Suddenly, it leaped up and darted towards Huang Donglai.
He was grabbed by Huang Donglai while still in mid-air.
"This Divine Strength Powder seems to be indigestible by the human body; it's equally effective on rats."
"Now that the person is dead, what should we do?" Murong Xiao asked.
Let me think about it.
Li Mo put his mind to work.
"First of all, Lu Zhuang didn't simply buy the Divine Strength Powder for himself; he also took some with him yesterday to sell to others. He might just be running errands for the Demon Summoning Cult."
"Therefore, the person who provided him with the Divine Strength Powder will definitely come looking for him if they can't contact him for a long time."
"Let's find a place to wait."
"That makes sense." Huang Donglai and Xiao Qin thought this explanation was plausible.
"That's what I think too."
Murong Xiao didn't quite understand, feeling like he'd picked up a pen in math class, looked up, and realized he couldn't understand anything.
But everyone understood, and he nodded seriously.
"We're all on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, so we might be recognized."
Xiao Qin thought for a moment, "It would be best to disguise myself..."
Li Mo said, "Then let's pretend to be Demon Summoning Cult."
"The Demon Summoning Cult isn't so easy to impersonate; their clothing..."
"This kind?"
Li Mo took out several black hooded long robes.
"Clothes alone are not enough; all members of the Demon Summoning Cult possess identity tokens..."
Xiao Qin hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly froze on the spot.
But then they saw that Li Mo was holding an iron token in his hand, on which was written 'Divine Envoy of the Hundred Beasts'.
That girl's status isn't low either.
"Brother Li, where did you get this? It looks just like the real thing."
Xiao Qin looked surprised, because even his teacher couldn't tell the clothes and token from being genuine.
"When you're traveling, you choose your own identity, so hurry up and change."
Li Mo waved his hand and emphasized again:
"Remember, try to speak as little as possible later. If you are asked something you don't know, just smile and let it go. The people in the Demonic Sect are cunning and unpredictable. If you don't say anything, they will just fill in the blanks themselves."
"Hehe..." Murong Xiao did as instructed, "Is this how you laugh?"
No, no, no, look at me.
Golden Statue Awards Best Actor Leonardo DiCaprio, offering acting advice, smirked and said, "Hehehe..."
"..."
Huang Donglai and Xiao Qin exchanged a glance.
Brother Li is really... quite skilled.
The group changed their clothes and were preparing to find a place to observe discreetly.
Suddenly.
Peng--
The door was kicked open, accompanied by a menacing shout:
"When dealing with Yamen, all of you, put your hands on your heads and squat down!"
The newcomer was a constable dressed in black, with a long knife inlaid with gold patterns. His aura was Nine Apertures of Divine Observation, and one could vaguely see the Divine Intent of a mythical beast with Xiezhi hanging from its mouth behind him.
This person looks young, no more than twenty years old, and has a dashing appearance.
As soon as she entered, she saw several people wearing black hooded long coats.
And the leader was emitting a strange "hehehe" laugh.
"!"
Little Li's laughter stopped abruptly.
I never expected this.
The contact person from the Demon Summoning Cult didn't arrive; the constables came first.
What a coincidence!
"Uh, it's a misunderstanding, please let me explain..."
"You may say nothing, but everything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law!"
Obviously.
The female constable didn't want to hear any explanations; the gleaming light of a blade rushed towards her.
The blade flashed fiercely, and the roar of the Xiezhi) shook the very soul.
Yi Dao was the first to meet Huang Donglai, who used the Flying Poison Two-Faced Turtle Movement Method, his figure as ghostly as he silently threw several punches.
The fist was blocked, and a ring of dust was scattered from it.
"Hmph, ignorant villain, trying to launch a sneak attack? My Prison Suppressing Blade Technique is the least afraid of underhanded tricks!"
The female constable spoke, but her expression became much more serious.
There are four people on the other side.
She was already facing one opponent, and couldn't defeat them in a short time. If they attacked all at once, she feared she would be overwhelmed.
Fortunately, the other party was overconfident and did not swarm forward.
She needed to seize the opportunity when the enemy underestimated her and finish the battle quickly!
Snap--
The knife clashed with the gauntlets again, sending dust flying everywhere.
Where did all this dust come from?
The female constable had just begun to have doubts when she suddenly felt dizzy.
Not good.
This isn't ash, it's Muscle-Softening Powder!
"Young lady, we are not members of the demonic sect..."
"If you're not, then am I?"
Seeing that the other party was even more disbelieving and seemed ready to run away, Li Mo sighed.
"Let's win her over first, then we can explain things later."
