Bingyue City
The City Lord of Nangong looked with a headache at an elder below.
"Bei Qi Shen, what do you mean by this?"
"City Lord Nangong, my young master was ambushed in the outskirts of your Bingyue City. We have investigated and found that the culprit has entered Bingyue City. This is a portrait drawn based on the appearance described by the young master. We only need to post the portrait and issue a wanted order within the city."
"Do you know that this wanted order is not a child's play? How can you be sure that your young master is not at fault, relying solely on the account of your Bei Qi family?"
Nangong Li of Bingyue City was annoyed. The Bei Qi family was arrogant and overbearing. Regardless of anything else, the woman in the portrait seemed to be Zi Hua Xian Jun of Tian Que City. She was, after all, a city lord governing a region. How could he issue a wanted order?
"Hmph, Nangong Li, you are unwilling, aren't you?"
"Bei Qi Shen, do you know who this woman in purple is? She is Zi Hua Xian Jun of Tian Que City, in charge of all affairs of Tian Que City, and under the jurisdiction of Chen Xi Xian Zun. Although she is only a acting city lord, she is still someone. Aren't you afraid of offending Chen Xi Xian Zun? It is rumored that Chen Xi Xian Zun has also advanced to the cultivation level of Immortal Emperor..."
"I don't need to know. I only know that if she dares to injure my young master, she will pay the price! A mere acting city lord dares to oppose the Bei Qi family, and she no longer needs to exist. As for Chen Xi Xian Zun, my family patriarch will handle it!" Bei Qi Shen said proudly. He had already investigated and found that this Zi Hua Xian Jun had long offended Chen Xi Xian Jun.
"This City Lord will not issue a wanted order for Zi Hua Xian Jun. As for the other two men, this City Lord will do you a favor."
"You... Very well! Once you leave this city, I'll see how long you can protect Zi Hua Xian Jun!" Bei Qi Shen left in a fury.
As soon as Bei Qi Shen left, the City Lord of Bingyue furiously smashed the case table with his palm. The humiliation was too much! If it weren't for his consideration of the Bei Qi family, he would have wanted to kill Bei Qi Shen. He was truly an eyesore!
As fellow city lords, he felt a bit more empathy. These aristocratic immortal sects were arrogant, constantly encroaching on the interests of them, the city lords. Some weaker small cities had become their subordinates, which was truly hateful!
The sect of this Zi Hua Xian Jun had some connection with him. He could only help by relaying a message to her sect. That was all he could do.
Ji Chenmu got up early and was pulled aside by the shopkeeper: "Young master, let's talk over here."
Ji Chenmu, looking bewildered, followed the shopkeeper into his room.
"Young master, did you offend the Bei Qi family?"
"Bei Qi family? No!" Ji Chenmu didn't remember any Bei Qi family.
"That's strange. Your portrait and your brother's are now posted all over the city. It is said that you injured the young master of the Bei Qi family? And you are being wanted everywhere." The shopkeeper was also kind. However, their inn had a tradition: once they entered his establishment, they were his guests and deserved his protection. Seeing the portraits today and remembering that the two of them were checking out today, he kindly informed them. He understood physiognomy, and neither of these two individuals was inherently evil.
"Oh? Is that so?" Ji Chenmu was surprised. He recalled the fight they had when they entered the city yesterday. Damn it! They're really the first to accuse the innocent!
"Thank you, shopkeeper, for informing me. This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it!" Ji Chenmu took out a bottle of Yuan Hui Pills from his spirit ring and gave it to the shopkeeper. He was sincerely grateful. If not for his kind reminder, he and Wu Ye would have encountered trouble if they had gone out rashly.
The shopkeeper saw Ji Chenmu lost in thought for a moment and knew he had remembered. The other person yesterday was clearly injured, so he had some guesses. However, being able to injure Bei Qi Chang Si was indeed remarkable! One must know that to be so valued by the Bei Qi family, it must be the direct descendant. Their direct line only produced one heir in tens of thousands of years, making him extremely precious!
Bei Qi Chang Si was not only a genius in cultivation, but also had the cultivation of a Xian Jun at a young age. His personal strength was not to be underestimated, and he was also surrounded by countless protective treasures. He was curious, who exactly were these two people? One looked like he only had Golden Immortal cultivation, and the other only Xuan Immortal cultivation. How could they injure that young master?
If Ji Chenmu knew what the shopkeeper was thinking, he would definitely tell him, does ganging up and sneak attacking count?
Although Ji Chenmu believed the shopkeeper, he still decided to go out and investigate. He disguised his appearance, changing his looks. This was child's play to him. When he took on tasks in the lower realm, he had to change his disguise constantly.
The shopkeeper watched Ji Chenmu leave. He didn't pay attention to the small bottle in his hand at first, but when he unfolded his divine sense, he was immediately shocked. These were Grade Seven Yuan Hui Pills? There were ten of them! These were hard to find in the Immortal Realm! One pill alone cost a thousand high-grade immortal stones.
Ji Chenmu didn't know that he had casually given away tens of thousands of immortal stones. These were all given to him by Sister Ji, who told him to ask for more after he used them up. It was the same for Wu Ye, ten bottles each. The items that Ju Xun gave them were diverse, so they overlooked their value. If he had only given him a few pills, he probably wouldn't have been so generous. Later, by chance, he learned the value of the Yuan Hui Pills and wished he could chop off his own hands.
In front of the wanted posters posted in the city, a猥琐 old man, pointing at the portrait, pulled a passerby and asked:
"Young brother, what does it say on here?" The passerby saw a ragged, hunched-over,猥琐 old man tugging at his sleeve.
"You filthy beggar, get lost, you want a beating? You dirtied my clothes, can you afford to compensate me?" The passerby flicked his sleeve, and the old man staggered, almost falling.
"Hahaha! This old beggar probably wants to capture those two thugs to claim a reward from the Bei Qi family!" another passerby mocked.
"With him! An ant! A dirty bug, just go to the city gate and beg, and you can still survive! Hmph, why aren't you getting lost!" the passerby sneered.
The old man was shoved and stumbled away.
The old man went into the shadows, flicked his finger slightly, and the passerby stumbled and fell to the ground. When he got up, his mouth was full of blood!
"Ah, sob, sob, who ambushed me..."
The old man grinned. You won't die from falling! He then disappeared.
.......
As soon as he returned to the room, Ji Wu Ye frowned at Ji Chenmu, who was dressed in dirty clothes.
"Where did you go? Stay away from me!"
"Alright, I'll clean myself up." Ji Chenmu quickly cast a few dust-sweeping spells on himself. This guy was a germaphobe. If he had been any slower, he might have been thrown out.
Ji Wu Ye poured him a cup of water. Ji Chenmu drank it all in one gulp before sitting down and saying,
"Wu Ye, we're wanted! The person we ganged up on yesterday was the young master of the Bei Qi family. Now the Bei Qi family is wantting us all over the city!"
"His name is Bei Qi Chang Si! Is that what you call ganging up yesterday? If he hadn't been careless, we would have been the ones dead!" Ji Wu Ye added.
"Yes, yes, that's the turtle son named Bei Qi Chang Si. He doesn't fight honorably! What kind of ability is it to find an elder and complain! Hmph! Didn't we still win!" Ji Chenmu was indignant. What was the point of fighting honorably? Winning was all that mattered!
"No, it should be blamed on that crazy Xian Jun Zi. Meeting her is really unlucky. We were just traveling peacefully, and we encountered this trouble. Who can we reason with? That Bei Qi Chang Si clearly wanted to kill us."
