"Beijing? Are you going back to the capital?" The fat shopkeeper was a little surprised, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile: "It's thousands of miles away from the capital. If you ride a horse, it will probably take more than half a month..."
"Don't worry, I know it's far away from the capital. All you need to do is provide horses..." Lu Xiaoyue didn't want to talk nonsense to him. The longer she stayed in Muling City at this time, the easier it would be for people from the Immortal Sect to catch up. It's best
Leave immediately.
"Okay, okay..." The fat shopkeeper quickly nodded in agreement, and then ordered the waiter beside him: "Did you hear that, hurry up and prepare two horses for Master Lu, and bring some food and drink by the way. Come as soon as you're done.
tell me."
The waiter left in response and soon disappeared into the back kitchen.
While waiting, Lu Xiaoyue simply had a meal in the inn. Anyway, she would have to travel a long distance later, so she would have enough energy to eat.
However, when eating, there always seemed to be people staring at her, either the workers in the store or the customers sitting next to her, which made her a little bored.
"Wood stick, why do they always look at me?" Lu Xiaoyue was a little annoyed. She couldn't control where others looked, so she had to sulk herself.
"Well...just watch it, it won't be anything bad anyway...no!" Jian Zhen initially thought it didn't matter, but he soon discovered the clues. Among the people who had been staring at Lu Xiaoyue, one of them
There seems to be a strange energy.
"That's... that's the true essence of the immortal cultivator!" He quickly remembered the name of this energy. The sword seller had such energy in him, so he was so familiar with it.
"Xiaoyue, don't eat it!" Jianzhen's tone suddenly changed and he reminded loudly: "There are immortal cultivators here!"
"Ah?!" Lu Xiaoyue put down her chopsticks instantly, looking alert, and was about to search around, but was quickly stopped by Jian Zhen.
"Don't look around, let's leave quietly so as not to alert others..."
"Okay, okay!" Lu Xiaoyue had never experienced such a thing, but after Youjian really reminded her, she quickly calmed down, pretended to be full, and quickly left the hall.
Immediately afterwards, she walked straight to the backyard of the inn, seemingly preparing to rest upstairs, but when she was halfway there, she suddenly turned into an alley next to her.
The alley is closed, and no one usually comes in, but this doesn't bother them.
The iron rod in Lu Xiaoyue's hand suddenly grew larger, and she was lifted up to the wall, and then she jumped over the wall with a slight jump.
After a while, the immortal cultivator whose whereabouts were discovered by Jian Zhen did follow him. However, when he saw no one in the alley, his expression changed instantly. He wanted to catch up, but he didn't dare to, and he was tangled for a while.
I had no choice but to grit my teeth and return to the inn.
Through the small holes in the wall, Lu Xiaoyue and Jian Zhen both saw this scene, and secretly rejoiced in their hearts: "Fortunately, there was only one person on the other side, and they did not dare to catch up blatantly... If there were a large number of immortal cultivators, it would not be so easy for them.
leave."
"Mu Guan, what should we do now?" Lu Xiaoyue was a little confused and finally escaped to Muling City. She didn't expect to be discovered by the immortal cultivators so quickly.
Once a cultivator discovers them, there will definitely be more cultivators chasing after them, and it will not be that easy to run away by then.
"Don't be anxious!" Jian Zhen quickly comforted: "We need to find out how the immortal cultivator discovered us?"
Lu Xiaoyue nodded and asked very puzzledly: "Logically speaking, there shouldn't be an immortal cultivator here. Where did he come from?"
"Let me think about it..." Jian Zhen quickly fell into deep thought, carefully recalling the scene from entering the city until just now when he was eating, and he suddenly remembered something.
When they were looking at the red list, the fat shopkeeper was muttering something in a low voice. There was no one next to him at that time!
Is he talking to himself, or is he talking to others in a secret way?
Could it be...
"That fat shopkeeper is from the Xianmen... not only! I'm afraid Bai Xiaolou is also from the Xianmen!" Jian Zhen instantly thought of these connections.
As the largest information organization in Hanling Kingdom, Baixiaolou cannot have any background. Otherwise, it would have been swallowed up by Lingxu Sword Sect and Wuying Sword Sect. Even if these two families did not take action, the emperor would not let them live.
Gotta be so cool.
To allow Baixiao Tower to be free from the two major sword sects and not restricted by the emperor, they have only one background, and that is - the Immortal Sect!
Only as a lackey of the Immortal Sect can it be on an equal footing with the Lingxu Sword Sect and Wuying Sword Sect, and can it ignore the emperor's will.
And the most amazing thing is that their information transmission speed is very fast. When Lu Xiaoyue checked the news from Qingyue City, she had already discovered that the news from Qingyue City to the capital was transmitted to Baixiao Tower in only two days.
This speed is much faster than the 800-mile express!
Things that ordinary people simply cannot do, only the secret method of the Immortal Sect can do...
All the evidence shows that Bai Xiaolou is the lackey of the Immortal Sect, responsible for collecting information for them!
Thinking about it this way, it is not surprising that there are immortal cultivators in Baixiao Tower.
Jianzhen told Lu Xiaoyue this guess, and she was also shocked. She couldn't think about it for a long time.
"I guess this immortal cultivator should be responsible for delivering the news in Baixiao Tower. He is not here to chase us specifically. He just happened to meet us. Otherwise, he would not have noticed that we were missing and would not have dared to chase us.
..." Jian Zhen carefully analyzed the behavior of the immortal cultivator and came to such a conclusion.
This is very close to the truth.
Hua Zongyuan is actually a cultivator stationed in Baixiao Tower. He usually shuttles between Baixiao Towers in various places and is responsible for delivering news to various places.
Originally, he had nothing to do today and was planning to go out for fun. Unexpectedly, the fat shopkeeper called him over with just one word.
"Lu Xiaoyue escaped!"
The fat shopkeeper only passed this sentence, but Hua Zongyuan was stunned when he heard it, and his whole body was excited.
Who is Lu Xiaoyue? She is the only candidate in this immortal selection conference. If she escapes, won't the immortal sect suffer a loss?
Hua Zongyuan didn't know how Lu Xiaoyue escaped, and he didn't receive any news from the Immortal Sect. However, as a member of the Immortal Sect, he had the responsibility to understand this matter. If possible, it would be best to catch him.
Live each other.
With this idea in mind, Hua Zongyuan came to Baixiaolou Inn, and under the arrangement of the fat shopkeeper, he sat next to Lu Xiaoyue.
He originally wanted to observe carefully for a while before deciding whether to take action... Unexpectedly, this observation was discovered by the other party.
As an immortal cultivator, he never expected that the other party's sense of smell would be so keen, his reaction would be so quick, and his escape route would be so tricky.
He is worthy of being someone who can escape from the Immortal Sect!
