Time goes back to the moment when Jiang Wang and Zhao Rucheng separated.
Jiang Wang has walked the road to Mingde Hall countless times. In particular, he is familiar with all the food on this road, both good and bad.
This is Maplewood City, where he has lived and practiced Taoism for several years. When he walks in this city, he feels a sense of calmness and peace of mind that is hard to find elsewhere.
Because he was so relaxed, when the figure bumped into him, he didn't even dodge it.
No, maybe he tried his best to dodge, but still got hit.
This collision gave people a very strange feeling, because they were not pushed away from each other by the impact force under normal circumstances, and then because of their different bottom piles, they were either knocked down or did not move at all.
Instead, they are stuck together.
In other words, what this collision seems to produce is suction, not repulsion.
This is so weird!
Jiang Wang looked at the man in black robe who was standing close to him, and his hair stood up inexplicably.
He had a strong intuition that this guy was extremely terrifying and he was no match for him.
The difference in strength was so great that if he wanted to escape by virtue of his status as a disciple of Maplewood City Taoist Academy and warn him, the other party could definitely kill him and then leave calmly.
"It looks like he's that guy's junior brother..." The man in black robe leaned close to Jiang Wang's ear and said, "Is it OK to stay at your house for a few days?"
Jiang Wang nodded stiffly.
"Very good." The man in black robe distanced himself, allowing Jiang Wang to see his face hidden by his hood. The face was rough and arrogant, with a sense of natural ferocity, "You are a smart man, you should know whether
Do stupid things."
Only then did Jiang Wang notice that the hooded black robe this guy was wearing was very similar to the black robe worn by the fat guy in Sanshan City. At the same time, he had a bald head.
There wasn't much time to think about it, the bald man's eyes were dangerous.
First of all, Jiang Wang is sure that he must not bring this dangerous guy home. Neither Zhao Rucheng nor Ling He can help him and will only be hurt by him. Not to mention that An An is still at home.
"But... I live in the Taoist dormitory." Jiang Wang swallowed and did not hide his fear: "I am an inner disciple."
"Well, the pulse has been opened, but the foundation has not been laid yet. To be honest, this is the beginning of a good cooperation." The bald man turned around with seeming satisfaction, put his arm on Jiang Wang's shoulder, and walked alongside him: "But I believe you have a way.
Is it right?"
On the street, people were coming and going, but no one noticed anything strange about them.
In other words, Jiang Wang has to work harder to show that there is nothing unusual in order to avoid being killed immediately.
Jiang Wang's heartbeat was racing.
First of all, "that guy's junior brother." Who is "that guy" in the bald man's mouth?
Combined with this bald head, he wears the same style of black robe as that of the fat man in Sanshan City.
Jiang Wang had a bold guess: Could it be Zhu Weiwo?
Then the identity of this bald man will be revealed, the heart-devouring demon, Xiong Wen!
During this period of time, Zhu Weiwo had been chasing Xiong Wen, and for this reason he missed the Three Cities Discussion. Unexpectedly, Xiong Wen was so bold that he actually sneaked into Maplewood City to play tricks under the light.
This is a sixth-grade Soaring Dragon realm cultivator who has opened the gate to heaven and earth.
Even if he possesses the two secret techniques of Four Spirits Body Refining Technique and Purple Qi Donglai Sword Technique, it is impossible to defeat this person by leaping three levels.
"There should be a way...but I have to think about it...can I think about it?" Jiang Wang was not the kind of genius who could calculate every step of the way. He tried to delay it for a while.
"Okay. But don't take too long. Because I'm not very patient." The bald man was very tolerant and patted Jiang Wang on the shoulder.
The two of them just walked forward holding each other's arms, like a pair of close friends.
Jiang Wang continued his analysis.
The day before yesterday was the Three Cities Forum on Taoism, and he was aware of the conflicts hidden behind the conference. He did not delve into the matters that had nothing to do with him, but Zhao Rucheng casually said that it seemed to be Wei Quji's revenge for the Xiaolin Town massacre.
Now that I think about it, the only thing that is certain is that the security in the city must have been very tight during those two days, but this bald man did not leak any news, which shows that he is good at concealing his whereabouts.
So what was the reason for him to appear on the street and find a random person to find a new hiding place?
There is only one explanation, and that is that the place where he was hiding has been exposed. In other words, Zhu Weiwo has noticed that he has hidden in Maplewood City!
Perhaps this is where the hope lies...
But obviously, if this bald man was really Xiong Wen, he would also notice this.
So instead, he must not leave anything to remind Zhu Weiwo. Playing tricks under the eyes of a Tenglong realm monk is undoubtedly courting death.
Jiang Wang continued to think about where to go next.
He didn't dare to go in the direction of the city lord's palace, nor did he dare to go to the Taoist temple. There was no doubt that those two places were life-saving places. But the bald man was by no means a fool.
What can be done?
He must not use his own strength to speculate on the strength of the Soaring Dragon Realm monks. He had already seen Lin Zhengren's combat prowess in the previous Three Cities Discussion, and this Xiong Wen was definitely neither strong nor weak.
Ideas appeared one by one and were rejected one by one.
It was such a mess that he almost despaired, but he couldn't despair.
He suddenly thought that he did not pick up An An today. Will An An go home by herself? Will she be afraid?
Then he thought of the little girl named Qingzhi and the unfathomable old man named Gui.
perhaps……
He quickly abandoned these thoughts. There was no way he would bring danger to Jiang Anan.
But thinking of An An, he gained strength.
"I have a friend..." Jiang Wang said with difficulty: "But I can't take you directly to where he lives now. I can't harm him."
The bald man looked interested: "What then?"
"He has a courtyard in the clan area. He hasn't lived in it for a long time. It's very quiet. No one will disturb him." Jiang Wang carefully added: "But the problem is that his family is relatively powerful. If we are not careful, maybe
It’s a bit troublesome.”
"Oh? How strong?" There was a hint of contempt in the bald man's voice. It was indeed impossible for the local families in Maplewood City to put him in his eyes.
"It belongs to the Fang family, one of the three major surnames in the local area. It may have some extraordinary power. I don't know the specific situation."
The friend Jiang Wang was talking about was naturally Fang Pengju. Looking at the entire Maple Forest City, within Jiang Wang's known range, apart from the City Lord's Mansion and the Taoist Academy, the only ones that might cause trouble to the Heart-Eating Man-Demon were
Three major surnames.
Among them, he has no enmity with the Zhang family and the Wang family, but Fang Pengju has a murderous grudge against him, and Fang Heling has been entangled with him. Last time, he fell out with Fang Zehou...
The most important point is that among the three major surnames, he is indeed only familiar with the Fang family, and has only been to the Fang family's clan area.
In the small courtyard on the Fang family's property that he described, Fang Pengju once drank wine with him and talked with him at night by holding a candle.
Now, it depends on whether the bald man agrees with this choice.
Regarding his own safety, the bald man thought for a moment and then said: "Lead the way."
