Kill Out of Qingshan City!

[Three days later, Gu Xinyue took you onto the road towards Zhongzhou.]

[As you were only in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, Gu Xinyue hadn't intended to take you to Zhongzhou so soon.]

[However, after seeing that you were actually able to obtain the Immortal Sword from Sword Mountain, her thoughts changed, believing that taking you to Zhongzhou would allow you to grow faster.]

[Thus, under Gu Xinyue's persuasion, you resolutely decided to head to Zhongzhou.]

[Half a year later, you crossed the endless sea from Qingzhou and finally arrived in Zhongzhou.]

[You knew nothing about the situation in Zhongzhou, so you had no choice but to ask Gu Xinyue where you were at the moment.]

["Senior Sister Gu, where are we in Zhongzhou right now?"]

[Facing your question, Gu Xinyue showed an embarrassed smile.]

["Junior Brother, I'm also here in Zhongzhou for the first time. I only know that Zhongzhou is divided into four major regions: the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Regions."]

["What? You brought me here without ever having been to Zhongzhou yourself?"]

[You now felt like you were on a sinking ship. Two rookies had directly come to Zhongzhou. Although the other party had already broken through to Void Refining, you were still only in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.]

[In Qingzhou, the Nascent Soul Middle Stage might be considered high-level combat power, but in Zhongzhou, Nascent Soul cultivators were everywhere, and Spirit Transmutation cultivators were as common as dogs.]

["Don't worry, Junior Brother. With Senior Sister here, I guarantee nothing will happen to you!"]

[Gu Xinyue patted her chest and assured you, but you remained skeptical.]

["Senior Sister Gu! Is it too late for me to return to Youzhou now?"]

[Hearing this, Gu Xinyue immediately became displeased and smacked the back of your head.]

["Return to Youzhou? Don't forget our Eldest Senior Sister is also in Zhongzhou. We're not completely without backing, alright!"]

["Eldest Senior Sister?"]

[Upon hearing "Eldest Senior Sister," you suddenly remembered asking about Eldest Senior Sister's whereabouts in a previous simulation. At that time, you learned that she was indeed in Zhongzhou.]

[Thinking that the Great Void Technique was a hereditary technique of Eldest Senior Sister's family, you felt you should stay. You always felt that your Great Void Technique was incomplete.]

[Seeing that you agreed to stay, Gu Xinyue happily led you towards the nearest city.]

[Three days later, you left the desolate mountains and entered a city called Qingshan City.]

[After entering the city, you found an inn, ordered a pot of tea, and began to inquire about the situation.]

[The entire morning, you gathered the information you wanted.]

[Qingshan City is located at the very edge of Zhongzhou's Southern Region. The highest-level cultivator within the city is the City Lord, Yang Zhentian, who is at the Void Refining stage.]

[Even though his cultivation was only at the Void Refining stage, you were greatly shocked.]

[Qingshan City is merely the most remote city in the Southern Region, yet its City Lord, in Qingzhou, would be considered the pinnacle of power.]

[However, the most interesting thing to you was that Qingshan City was currently in a semi-closed state, allowing entry but not exit.]

[As for the reason, you learned that the City Lord's eldest son was murdered two nights ago at midnight, and the City Lord ordered the city sealed overnight.]

[You had planned to stay in Qingshan City for one day, but you were forced to stay for a longer period.]

[At night, you and Gu Xinyue found an inn to stay in.]

[You had originally intended to get two rooms, but at Gu Xinyue's insistence, you ended up sharing one room.]

[In the middle of the night, while you were cultivating, you heard a commotion outside the inn.]

[Just as you were about to get up and check, the window of your room was smashed open, and a figure, spitting blood, fell into your room.]

[You immediately used True Sight to check the person's information.]

[Wei Qing: Human]

[Cultivation: Spirit Transmutation Early Stage]

[Spiritual Root: High-grade Fire Spiritual Root]

[Upon seeing that the person was human, you retracted the Great Void Sword Intent you were holding and turned to Gu Xinyue beside you, saying.]

["Senior Sister, kill the ones pursuing him!"]

[Gu Xinyue, who was cultivating, opened her eyes and glanced at Wei Qing, who was lying on the ground and spitting blood. She frowned slightly.]

[She didn't understand why you wanted to save this person. It seemed unwise to act rashly when you couldn't even determine if this person was human or a Cunning Insect.]

[However, upon seeing your determined gaze, Gu Xinyue immediately understood your intention and unleashed a wave of Sword Qi.]

[The three Spirit Transmutation Middle Stage cultivators who had just chased into the room were instantly killed.]

[Seeing Gu Xinyue instantly kill three Spirit Transmutation cultivators with one move, Wei Qing, who was lying on the ground, struggled to get up and looked at you both.]

["You two are also Awakened Ones, aren't you!"]

["Oh? How did you know?"]

[You curiously sized up Wei Qing, who was smarter than you had expected.]

"I'm currently wanted by the City Lord's Mansion. If you two weren't human, there's no way you could have saved me from the Cunning Insects!"

"You're smart. Tell us what happened. We just arrived in Qingshan City today."

You casually tossed the other party a bottle of pills, gesturing for him to speak slowly.

"I knew it. I've been in Qingshan City for so many years, and I've never seen the two of you before."

Next, Wei Qing recounted the entire story to you.

He had previously had an impulsive altercation with the City Lord's eldest son. During the fight, he subconsciously attacked the opponent's dantian, which inadvertently revealed his human identity.

With his identity exposed, he had no choice but to kill the opponent to prevent his true nature from being revealed.

While being pursued by all the Cunning Insects in the city and the City Lord's Mansion, he chose the latter.

After hearing the entire sequence of events, you were surprised that his identity was exposed simply because he attacked the dantian.

This incident served as a warning to you: in the future, when you're not confident about killing a Cunning Insect, don't keep attacking its dantian.

"Not good! Someone's coming, Junior Disciple. Judging by their aura, it's very likely the City Lord of Qingshan City."

Gu Xinyue stood up, looking grimly towards the City Lord's Mansion from the window.

"Escape! Let's get out of the city!"

As soon as she finished speaking, you used the Great Void Technique to take Wei Qing and flee towards the city outskirts.

"You can't escape. The entire Qingshan City is surrounded by a formation, and the only exit is guarded by a Cunning Insect at the Spirit Transmutation Great Perfection stage."

"Just Spirit Transmutation Great Perfection? Don't worry, he won't be able to stop us. Right, Senior Sister?"

You looked at Gu Xinyue beside you, asking if she was confident.

Gu Xinyue let out a cold laugh.

"Junior Disciple, you underestimate me too much. Do you really think a mere Spirit Transmutation Great Perfection can stop us?"

Soon, you arrived at the city gate, where an old man suddenly appeared, blocking your path.

"I've been waiting for you all for a long time. You can't es..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Xinyue unleashed her Void Refining cultivation, and a brilliant Sword Qi slashed towards the old man.
