The cold wind was blowing, and dark clouds swept across the sky, covering up the already hazy moonlight, making the dark night appear even darker.
The dagger had already been put into the storage bag by Ye Cheng. He took long steps and wandered around the Liecheng Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion represents the highest power of Lie City, but tonight here is destined to be a sleepless night. When Ye Cheng first arrived here, there were many people who did not know life or death, trying to block Ye Cheng's way, but when Ye Cheng
After Cheng killed dozens of people with one punch, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion finally knew what it meant to be afraid. Now, they had already stayed far away for fear of angering Ye Cheng, the killer.
If it were an ordinary gang force, Ye Cheng would definitely kill them all, but the City Lord's Mansion is different. The location here is just an honor and a title. Unless Ye Cheng can destroy the entire Dajing Kingdom, otherwise, the City Lord's Mansion will always exist.
The guards at the City Lord's Mansion did not come to provoke him, and Ye Cheng was too lazy to chase and kill these people. The only person Ye Cheng came here to kill was Bai Lie.
It has been some time since I arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. Unfortunately, Ye Cheng did not notice Bai Lie's existence.
Except for those ordinary guards, the city lord didn't even see any of Bai Lie's family members or Ye Cheng.
Bai Lie fled from the main altar of Qingdeng Pavilion. Ye Cheng only delayed for a while and then chased after him. In this little time, if Bai Lie wanted to take his family and escape together, then there must be something wrong with the time.
No, looking at the current situation, there is only one reason, that is, when Bai Lie came to Liecheng to take office, he did not bring his family with him, he was just single.
"This Bai Lie is really cautious. He seemed to have expected that I would come here to kill people and silence him, but he didn't even come back!" Ye Cheng frowned and searched everywhere.
Ye Cheng didn't find Bai Lie's people, but he did find a lot of gold and silver, but Ye Cheng didn't value these things very much.
After spending a lot of time, Ye Cheng dug almost three feet into the entire city lord's palace, but still found nothing, so Ye Cheng had to return in frustration.
"Since Bai Lie comes from the Wuqing Sect, he should probably have storage devices. Otherwise, there won't even be a spiritual stone found in this city lord's mansion!" Ye Cheng thought in his heart.
When Bai Lie leaves this place, the place he is most likely to go to must be where Mr. Xihua is. Ye Cheng can deal with Bai Lie, but for the unknown Mr. Xihua, Ye Cheng is wary. After all, today's
His true level of strength is just that he has awakened to the second level of heaven.
"It's all Wang Lan's stupid woman's fault. If it weren't for her, how would Bai Lie have escaped!" He complained bitterly to Wang Lan, and Ye Cheng also felt a little worried.
Ye Cheng didn't know when the reinforcements brought by Bai Lie would arrive in Lie City, but Ye Cheng knew that if Bai Lie came back again, the first person he would have to deal with would definitely be himself.
Returning to the main altar of Qingdeng Pavilion, Zhou Xiaoxiao was still unconscious, and Liu Sanniang was still guarding Zhou Xiaoxiao.
"Mr. Ye, did you go to the city lord's mansion and find Bai Lie?" Liu Sanniang asked quickly when she saw Ye Cheng.
"Sanniang, Bai Lie is not in the city lord's palace at all, and I don't know where he went?" Ye Cheng shook his head helplessly and responded.
"This Bai Lie has always been cautious and impeccable in his actions. It seems that he has long expected that you will not let him go easily?" Liu Sanniang sighed helplessly and said: "We can't kill Bai Lie to silence him. This
This is not a good thing for us. According to my estimation, Bai Lie may have gone to where his master, Mr. Xihua, is. If Bai Lie comes back again, our Qingdeng Pavilion will be in danger!"
"Yes, Sanniang, according to my guess, this is very likely to be the case. For now, we can only improve our own strength as soon as possible, so that we can face the crisis that may come at any time!" Ye Cheng
He frowned and nodded.
"Mr. Ye, you possess the supreme inheritance of the devil. If given enough time, Sanniang believes that your future will be limitless. But Bai Lie has already left. How much time do you think he will leave for us?" Liu
Sanniang shook her head and said: "The ancient sages said that those who can stretch and bend are dragons, and those who can only stretch unyielding are nothing more than worms. We can choose to retreat temporarily to avoid Bai Lie and Na Xihua.
As long as we leave Liecheng, so what if Young Master Xihua is capable? The world is so big, how does he know where we are hiding?"
Ye Cheng remained silent. With his temperament, even if he knew he would die, he would still pull a few people to support him. As for the word "retreat", it never appeared in Ye Cheng's mind.
Perhaps after accepting the inheritance of the True Demon, Ye Cheng's character has also changed a lot. He is no longer afraid. He only knows how to move forward, killing gods and killing Buddhas when God blocks them. This belongs to the True Demon alone.
Some are arrogant and domineering.
But Ye Cheng also had to admit that what Liu Sanniang said at this moment was indeed very reasonable.
With so many thoughts on his mind, Ye Cheng couldn't help but think of Erya and Gouzi who died for him. The scene when Erya and Gouzi led the pursuers away for him clearly appeared in front of Ye Cheng's eyes.
.
"Since that time, my life no longer belongs to me. I live for hatred. I live for the purpose of killing immortals and Buddhas. Now I am only a second-level enlightened person. It is difficult to
Being an enemy of Mr. Xihua and confronting him directly is definitely not a wise move. The green hills are still there, so I won't be afraid of being burned out. I choose to retreat for the time being. At worst, I can find my place again after my strength improves!" I thought in my mind.
After a moment, Ye Cheng finally made a decision in his heart.
"Sanniang, you are right. Since we failed to kill Bai Lie, it is definitely the best choice for us to leave temporarily!" Looking at Liu Sanniang, Ye Cheng nodded, although in his heart
He was extremely unwilling, but he had no other better choice.
Since Bai Lie is a member of the Wuqing Sect, and with the personality of a person in the demonic path, it is impossible for him to swallow such a big loss after suffering such a big loss. Maybe in ten or eight days, Bai Lie will return again.
Mr. Xihua is the son of the demon king Jingtian Demon Lord. His subordinates will definitely have many monks above the Enlightenment Realm. As long as he randomly sends a few people to follow Bai Lie, Ye Cheng will definitely not be able to bear the consequences.
Although Ye Cheng has magic skills, his level is too low. When meeting a real Qi-training monk, Ye Cheng's strength is simply not enough.
"Brother, I'm back!" Duan Hu's excited shout came from outside the hall. Judging from the situation, the task assigned to Duan Hu by Ye Cheng had now been successfully completed.
