Chapter 467 Heyunfang City
Chapter 467 Heyunfang City
"Heyunfang Market is just ahead!"
Cen Mu's weak voice came from behind Li Zhi, with a bit of fatigue and expectation.
Along the way, with Li Zhi's patient guidance, Cen Mu's mood, which was originally immersed in sorrow, gradually improved a little, but his face was still gloomy, as if covered by an impenetrable dark cloud.
Li Zhi knew that Cen Mu's gloomy face was not directed at him, but stemmed from his hatred for the drug slave who brutally slaughtered and drugged his fellow apprentices.
Although Cen Mu was filled with rage for revenge at the moment, his inner innocence remained unchanged.
In his eyes, Li Zhi put aside their past grudges and lent a helping hand to him when he was at his lowest point. Such chivalrous heart moved him and made him admire him sincerely. He had long regarded Li Zhi as a great benefactor and kept him in mind.
After hearing what Cen Mu said, Li Zhi looked up and saw a place similar to a city in front of him.
The tall city walls glow with an ancient color under the sunlight, and the city gate is bustling with people coming and going.
Seeing this, Cen Mu introduced the Heyun Market to Li Zhi at the right time: "This Heyun Market was jointly established by my Medicine King Valley, the Xiao Family, and the Xingyun Sect. Once here, I can contact my fellow disciples in Medicine King Valley."
Li Zhi nodded slightly and then asked, "Which country does this place belong to?"
Cen Mu shook his head and replied, "This place isn't part of any country's territory. It was originally a deserted place. However, since the construction of Heyun Market, it has been jointly managed by Yaowang Valley, the Xiao family, and the Xingyun Sect."
Li Zhi curiously asked, "Since this is a market town, there must be a lot of rare and valuable things here, right?"
Cen Mu replied as a matter of course, "Of course. Once we get to the market, if Brother Li needs anything, just let me know. I will do my best to find it for you!"
Li Zhi smiled slightly upon hearing this and did not refuse. Although he had a lot of money, he also knew that the real good things could not be easily purchased with money alone.
Li Zhi weighed Cen Mu behind him, adjusted his posture, and then strode towards Heyunfang Market.
When he arrived at the gate of Heyunfang City, Li Zhi saw three groups of people on duty.
He glanced around and found that the three groups of people were dressed differently.
One of the groups of people was wearing the same light blue clothes as Cen Mu had seen before. Li Zhi immediately understood that these were the people from Yaowang Valley.
Without any hesitation, Li Zhi walked towards the people from Yaowang Valley.
The three disciples of Yaowang Valley guarding the gate were all outer disciples. They had low status, so they were sent here to guard the gate.
However, because they have the support of such a powerful force as Yaowang Valley, and Yaowang Valley is one of the shareholders of the market, when facing outsiders coming and going in the market, they unconsciously reveal a hint of arrogance on their faces.
When they saw Li Zhi carrying someone on his back walking towards them, one of them looked unhappy and shouted, "Stop!"
Li Zhi paused and looked at him calmly.
The man frowned and asked in a bad tone, "Who are you?"
Before Li Zhi could speak, Cen Mu behind him said, "How dare you! You can't even recognize me?"
When the three heard this, they were stunned at first, then looked at Cen Mu, but for a moment they failed to recognize the disheveled man in front of them.
They were originally outer disciples, and they rarely had the opportunity to see core disciples like Cen Mu on weekdays. Moreover, Cen Mu looked miserable at the moment, with ragged clothes and blood on his face. It was really difficult to associate him with the chief of the Law Enforcement Hall of Yaowang Valley.
The three men's faces suddenly turned ugly. They pointed their fingers and cursed at Li Zhi and Cen Mu, their words full of humiliation.
Li Zhi frowned and ignored the three people. Instead, he turned to Cen Mu and asked, "They didn't recognize you. What should we do now?"
Cen Mu was trembling with anger. If he hadn't been severely injured and unable to move, he would have taught these three blind men a lesson. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "There are other disciples from the Immortal Sect stationed here. That person will definitely recognize me. When I was tracking Zhong Qing, I came here and mentioned this to him."
Li Zhi nodded, and when he looked up, he saw that the three men had surrounded them and obviously did not intend to let them leave easily.
Li Zhi sighed helplessly and asked Cen Mu, "Is it true that the disciple you mentioned who is stationed there will show up if there is any trouble in the market?"
Cen Mu didn't react for a moment, and nodded subconsciously, saying, "That's right, he is in charge of guarding the market town. If there is any unusual movement, he will naturally come to check it out."
Hearing this, Li Zhi raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of a smile, and said: "If that's the case, then things will be much easier..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stomped his foot hard on the ground.
In an instant, powerful Qi surged out, and the Qi realm expanded instantly. Rays of light spread rapidly like a spider web, covering the three gatekeeper disciples in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, the originally solid ground began to ripple like water waves. The three disciples felt their feet go empty and instantly fell into a quagmire, sinking rapidly.
As soon as Li Zhi started to fight, he was seen by the disciples sent by the Xiao family and the Xingyun Sect to guard the gate. One of the Xingyun Sect members suddenly changed his expression and was about to step forward to help, but was stopped by his companion.
He looked puzzled and asked, "Someone is causing trouble, help!"
His companion didn't seem to care at all. He smiled and said, "They're not causing trouble in the market, and they're obviously heading for Medicine King Valley. What does this have to do with us... Let's not join in the fun..."
The other person from the Xingyun Sect and the three people from the Xiao family were all there to watch the show and had no intention of helping.
Although this market was jointly established by the three families, there were constant conflicts between them, and minor frictions. Now that they saw someone trying to cause trouble for Medicine King Valley, they naturally enjoyed seeing the Medicine King Valley make a fool of itself.
...
Li Zhi's attack was decisive and swift. The three disciples were not strong and were unable to resist at all. They were suppressed in an instant.
The three men's faces changed drastically, and they realized that they had offended a tough guy.
But they also knew that there were powerful senior brothers stationed in Yaowang Valley. If any of the senior brothers came forward, they would definitely make this troublemaker pay.
One of them quickly sent out a signal, trying to summon help.
Originally, they were in Li Zhi's realm, and the signal could have been intercepted by Li Zhi, but Li Zhi intended to lure out a higher-level disciple, so he allowed the disciple to send the signal.
After the signal was sent, the three men immediately regained some confidence and shouted at Li Zhi, "Our senior brother will be here soon. I advise you to let us go quickly, otherwise when our senior brother arrives, you will be in trouble!"
Li Zhi curled his lips in disdain and said, "Let's talk about it after your senior brother comes."
Not long after, a sharp whistle was heard from the market town, piercing the sky.
Li Zhi's expression became stern, and he was ready for battle.
I saw a flash of light before my eyes, and a figure shot towards me like a meteor, slamming heavily into Li Zhi's domain, causing ripples...
