Chapter 445: Suspicion

When Long Qi passed by the ghost market, he met Tu Bo. After touching his bones and reading his fortune, he said some strange things. At that time, Lu Ying was in the yard separated by a wall.

After Emperor Ziwei left, Tu Bo called Lu Ying out, gave him some instructions, and said that the time had come, and told him to go to the Demon City quickly. Then, with a flash of divine light, he disappeared.

Such behavior was commonplace, so Lu Ying was not surprised. He packed up briefly and left the ghost market as instructed.

When we were approaching the Demon City, we wanted to sneak in quietly, but we saw three people stealthily climbing up the city wall, and then lying on it without moving.

The figures of two of them looked very familiar, but Lu Ying really couldn’t think of who among the people he knew would break into the Demon City at this time, and who had the ability to come to the underworld at this time.

The news about Lu Ying is indeed somewhat isolated.

He has been staying in Tu Bo’s courtyard for the past three years, and Tu Bo has never told Lu Ying anything except teaching him how to practice, so he didn’t know that the Ghost Gate had been re-established.

Even though he heard the voice of the phoenix, whenever Lu Ying asked about it, Tu Bo would evade the question by saying, “You’ll know when the time comes.”

After much thought, Lu Ying decided to hide his presence and observe secretly for the sake of safety.

Soon, Lu Ying also lay on the city wall, but there was a gate tower between them, so they could not see each other.

The outer city was littered with corpses of demons, and the inner city was even more bustling.

Lu Ying recognized the people from Yuanqing Sect and Taishang Sect at a glance, but it was the first time he saw other Taoist robes.

The Taoists were fighting with the guards of the inner city with murderous intent, but in front of the inner wall gate, there was an old man sitting leisurely holding a teacup, as if the fierce fighting before them had nothing to do with him.

The old man was none other than the Grand Marshal of the Demon City, in charge of all military affairs of the demon clan.

Just when Lu Ying was curious about who the old man was, a long sword broke through the air and pointed directly at the old man’s head, but the latter just tilted his head and dodged it easily, and even took a sip of tea before finishing.

Lu Ying was shocked when he saw this, and quickly looked at Sima Da.

The seemingly casual tilt of the head shows his calmness in the face of a surprise attack. Such composure should not be underestimated.

Before Lu Ying could react to the current situation, he saw two people flying down. Looking closely, they were Chi Yanzi and Long Qi.

No wonder they look so kind. One is my savior and the other is a friend who has shared life and death with me.

It was just a moment of distraction, and the three of them had already started fighting. Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, Lu Ying had no choice but to rush out.

We have to take revenge anyway, we can’t just watch these two people die, right?

“Why is it you? Why are you here?” Seeing that it was Lu Ying, Long Qi was very surprised. “Are you a human or a ghost…”

A person who had clearly died three years ago suddenly appeared in front of him, and in a place like the underworld. How could one not think to the left?
Long Qi has even decided to avenge Lu Ying and save his soul.

Lu Ying really wanted to roll his eyes: After not seeing each other for so long, why is Long Qi still so stupid?

But it was not the right time, so he just said “It’s a long story” and turned to Da Sima.

Da Sima was also shocked.

He looked like just an ordinary Taoist, but he had to use 30% of his strength to resist the attack just now, and he remained calm.

“Interesting, interesting.” Da Sima stroked his long beard with a smile.

I didn’t expect that at this age, I would still meet such a young opponent. It’s really true that young people are to be feared.

Of course, Da Sima’s interest was referring to Chi Yanzi and Lu Ying, but he did not take Long Qi seriously.

In the eyes of Da Sima, Long Qi was just a small Taoist with mediocre talent. The reason why he took action was just because the other party provoked him and he came out to relax his muscles. If Long Qi knew what Da Sima was thinking, he would definitely be anxious, but fortunately Da Sima did not say anything.

The current Sima has already become interested in Chi Yanzi and Lu Ying, so he doesn’t care about Long Qi.

“Can you please leave your name? Who is your teacher?”

This stumped Lu Ying. If he revealed his master Lieyang’s name, what would he do if something unexpected happened and the Tai Shang Sect was hated by the demons like the Yuan Qing Sect?

But what if…

To be honest, Lu Ying still doesn’t know that the old man who taught him is Tu Bo. He has asked him about it in the past three years, but Tu Bo always evaded the question with words like “mystery” and “can’t tell”. Over time, Lu Ying stopped asking.

Or use “Xuan Ji Old Man”?
It would be better if no one knew, and it would save him a lot of trouble.

Having made up his mind, Lu Ying was about to speak, but Chi Yanzi spoke first without any concern.

“I am just a wandering monk, so it is not worth mentioning. My master has ascended to heaven many years ago, so I will not bother you.”

This reply is indeed a bit impolite, but why does it sound so comfortable?
“I am nothing but a local Taoist priest. I left my master’s sect several years ago. I am just a nobody and the world is my home. It’s better not to mention me.” Lu Ying also replied in the same way.

Oh! This is even more interesting.

Da Sima looked at the two people in front of him with interest.

One is a wandering monk, yet he is as fearful as the demons; the other is a nobody, yet he wants 30% of his strength.

“In that case, then I won’t be polite.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Qi felt a flash of lightning before his eyes, and Da Sima disappeared. Then he heard a “ping pong” sound, and Lu Ying only had time to raise his double maces, but he had already flown a few feet away.

Before Long Qi could react, there was a “clang” sound from Chi Yanzi’s side, but he stood firmly in place, with the whisk in his hand against Da Sima’s dragon whip.

“Good boy, you have good skills.” Da Sima praised.

“Excellent.”

Chi Yanzi said that he accepted the offer, but his expression was a little strange. If you had to say what was strange, it seemed that he was still frightened.

Da Sima moved swiftly. Under normal circumstances, Chi Yanzi would not have been able to take that attack, but he took it anyway.

The moment Da Sima moved, Chi Yanzi’s body moved subconsciously, but he did not see Da Sima’s movements clearly at all.

Chi Yanzi clearly felt that something inexplicable was sprouting in his body, but he couldn’t tell what it was.

Da Sima also clearly felt that Chi Yanzi’s sudden burst of fear completely suppressed his own “fear”

That wasn’t the “fear” that ordinary demons would have, but…

Royal family!

That’s right, it’s the “fear” unique to the royal family of the demon world.

The Demon Lord and Lord Wu Min also have this kind of fear, but the person in front of him is just an ordinary Taoist priest, how could he have such fear?

The “Fear” of the royal family can command the demon generals and intimidate hundreds of demons.

What is the origin of this person?
