living in the world of reincarnation

Chapter 339 Siege and Misunderstanding

They only stayed in Huaiyuan City for two days, and after they couldn't find any valuable information, the team set off again.

Everyone advanced by land and water, and after three days, they came to another city and county that was very similar to Huaiyuan City.

The river network here is dense and the climate is humid, so the styles of the cities are similar, and they all have the style of Jiangnan Water Town.

And as the journey continued, there were more and more rumors about the Demon Cult along the way. These remnants of the Demon Race lurking in various parts of Dongji State seemed to have come to life at once.

Entering the city, several people found the atmosphere here a bit strange.

The city guard let them pass without saying a word, and there were soldiers running on the street from time to time.

Pulled over the few passers-by, but these people seemed to have seen a ghost, and avoided the inquiries of Mu Lan and the others, their expressions were full of fear.

"This city seems to be under martial law." Zhao Ziyu looked around and found that there were not many pedestrians in the streets and alleys, and there was no one on the stone bridge. There was only one ferry boat left on the busy riverside as imagined.

"Let's find an inn to stay." Gu Qingyuan pulled the bag on his shoulders, and looked at an inn with flags flying at the end of his line of sight, only the door of this one was open.

In the past few days, Gu Qingyuan's emotions finally recovered, he was no longer so silent, and he had more communication with the Nirvana team.

"Brother, do you want to pay?" Zhao Ziyu said with a smile.

"I was originally going to participate in the trial of Xianzong, so I should pay for everyone's travel expenses." Gu Qingyuan walked into this inn with a wooden door concealed while joking.

"That's a good relationship." Zhao Ziyu greeted with a smile.

"Where's the guy? Stay at the hotel!"

"Huh? It's so deserted."

Lin Yiyi saw that there was no one in the inn, and the tables were covered with a layer of dust, as if no one had cleaned them.

"what's the situation?"

Lin Yiyi let out a sigh as she spoke, because Mu Lan opened the spiritual link and marked many targets.

The three members of the team could feel that inside the inn, which was out of sight, there were many people with swords in their hands, and outside the inn, there were also many uninvited guests surrounding them.

"Ok?"

The sign outside the door was fluttering in the wind, and the lobby inside the inn was eerily quiet. Feng, who was so quiet that he had no spiritual connection, also sensed a sense of danger.

The three members of the team were tense and were standing next to each other. Seeing this situation, Ah Feng also took out a long sword.

"Why?" Just as Gu Qingyuan was about to say something, he heard loud shouts from the back kitchen, outside the door, and outside the window at the same time.

"Take it!"

More than 30 warriors with weapons poured into the lobby, immediately crowding the inn. Mu Lan couldn't help but release Thrall's Shield instantly.

The sword slashed on the light blue translucent shield and was bounced off heavily. Several warriors exclaimed, but they didn't expect this situation.

"What secret method?"

Seeing that the visitor was not friendly, Lin Yiyi took out a few explosive arrows from the ring, and after the arrows came out of the string, the inn was full of flames, and all of them were blown up immediately.

"There are warriors who haven't established a foundation, and there are monks." Zhao Ziyu made a rough distinction, and felt that the situation was a bit tricky. This group of people obviously came prepared.

Sensing the mental power outward, Mu Lan found that more and more people were coming outside the door, she was a little strange, what is the purpose of this group of people?Obviously, no sign of the existence of the Chosen One was observed.

Gu Qingyuan and Zhao Ziyu, who are capable of melee combat, have already mingled with the people outside. Lin Yiyi hides in Mu Lan's spiritual shield and draws the bow in an orderly manner. Shield, using his unique physical technique to sneak attack the enemy, and will retreat after feeling invincible.

In a short while, several people fell down in the inn, and the tables, chairs and other furnishings were also blown to pieces. These enemies felt that Mu Lan and the others were difficult to deal with, so they changed their formations and no longer besieged close to each other, but shot out sword energy. .

Feeling the looming Thrall's shield, such dense sword energy was a bit too much for Mu Lan. While maintaining the shield, she used her mental power to search the crowd.

A middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance was surrounded by several guards. He never took action, but the people around him were obeying his orders.

Mu Lan understood that the thief should be captured first, so she used the most powerful technique to tear it apart and pour it into the middle-aged man's mind.

The middle-aged man knelt on the ground covering his head for an instant, Mu Lan sneered, and at the same time, a black shadow moved instantly, passing through the encirclement, and appeared behind the middle-aged man.

"Stop! Stop!"

The guards of the middle-aged man turned pale with fright, and all the warriors and monks turned their heads together, only to find that their leader had been caught in mid-air.

Segus picked up his collar and threw it high in disgust.

There was only a burst of wailing, and the body of the middle-aged man fell to the ground, being stepped on by Seggs.

"Did you hear that?" Mu Lan looked around and said coldly, "Otherwise, kill him."

"Hurry up, hurry up!" The middle-aged man's guard shouted loudly: "It is important to protect the big housekeeper!"

These people looked at each other in blank dismay, and then exited the inn one after another, but their expressions still had hatred in their eyes.

Mu Lan thought about the name "Big Butler" and thought about the expressions of these people, feeling a little strange.

"Did you make a mistake?" Mu Lan spread her hands and said, "There is no enmity between us. This is a misunderstanding."

Half an hour later, the inn was bustling again, the lobby was buzzing, monks were sitting on the ground bandaging each other's wounds, and some looked at the upstairs rooms with resentment.

The butler who was stepped on by Segas was full of apologies. He had a mole on his face, and there were hairs on the mole. He looked a little funny when he smiled.

"I'm sorry, fellow monks, I didn't understand the situation."

His servants offered a few cups of tea, and Zhao Ziyu snorted when he saw this, "Swords don't have eyes, if you really hurt us, there will be big trouble!"

"Many of my arrows were wasted!" Lin Yiyi curled her lips, these explosive arrows were all exchanged for evolution points, they were very precious, and as a result, several of them were wasted in an oolong.

"Hurry up and lose money!"

The big butler touched the top of his bald head and smiled awkwardly and speechlessly. He was obviously the one who suffered the biggest loss. Many of the staff below were dying, but there was no way to settle the debt with them.

After all, they made a mistake, and these people were not the expected targets.

"So you think we are from the Demon Cult?" Mu Lan was invited to the main seat. At this time, she drank tea leisurely and glanced at the butler with a hint of inquiry.

"As soon as they arrived in Nantang, they started looking around for information. They were strangers and acted suspiciously. I..."

The butler said with a sneer, "I had no choice but to make such a bad plan."

Mu Lan smiled, so there was only one inn open in the city, and the situation inside was obviously closed for a long time, so they had already prepared for it.

"What on earth did the Demon Sect do to make you so cautious?" Mu Lan asked.

"The Demon Cult." The head steward looked resentful at first, but after looking at Mu Lan and the others, he gave a wry smile and said with a sigh:

"Our head of the family was assassinated two days ago and died in his room."

"Recently, the Devil's Cult has become more and more rampant. It's not just once or twice that someone was murdered. This must be the Devil's Cult!"
