Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 5: Nameless Town
Qiu Qinglian turned into a puff of green smoke in her peaceful hut, as if watching her daughter leave and hoping that her life would be safe and smooth.

Just after Yun Yi and Song Xinci walked away, two more figures came here.

One of them wore a crimson gauze dress, also covered with red gauze, revealing a face that threatened the nation and its people, making it even more captivating. Her forearms and ankles were completely exposed, and her chest and hips were also left uncovered, which was quite daring.

The other wore a black robe embroidered with a golden dragon, a bronze beast mask on his head, and carried two swords, one long and one short. His palms glowed copper, and he was obviously a master of swordsmanship.

They were the two guardian masters of the Demon Sect, Zhuque and Xuanjiao.

Different from the four half-baked guys who only care about eating, drinking and having fun, they are genuine masters, who have truly reached the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

After carefully examining the bodies of the four villains, Xuan Jiao said with a relaxed tone, "Her realm has not yet recovered. She is probably only at the Spiritual Transformation Realm. We need to speed up."

Zhuque, however, despised the dead and hid aside and asked, "How did you tell that?"

"Song Xinci hates adulterers the most in his life. If he encounters one, he will definitely fight him with all his might. He will never leave the prostitute with her body intact."

"Maybe because 'whore' was a woman, she showed mercy?"

"She doesn't distinguish between men and women. During the Demon Sect's trial, countless people died at her hands. Even the disciples within the sect once suspected she was an undercover agent sent by the righteous path. Otherwise, why would she kill her own people without any hesitation?"

"You're being unreasonable. The Four Evils came from the Valley of Evil. They'd be complete bastards in the Demon Sect. Do we feel guilty about killing them? The name Demon Sect was given by the righteous. We know best that this is the Holy Sect, the place where the flesh becomes holy!"

Xuan Jiao was too lazy to argue with the woman. "Forget it. In this world, who can tell good from evil? In the end, it's still the one who becomes an immortal who has the final say. Let's keep chasing her. She shouldn't be able to get far."

Zhuque rolled his eyes and said, "Although she tried to conceal her tracks when she left, I could smell that she wasn't alone."

"She actually has a companion?"

"It seems to be a man, with the scent of ink on him, perhaps a scholar."

"There are not many scholars who have had conflicts with Song Xinci. The ruthless scholar Zhu Qiyi is one of them, and the holy scholar Meng Fan is also one of them."

"One of them is obsessed with Song Xinci, and the other wants to kill her. It seems that it can only be Meng Fan. Zhu Qiyi knows that Song Xinci will only fight against him and will never travel with him like this."

Xuan Jiao added: "What's more, Zhu Qiyi is clearly among those searching for her."

Zhuque said: "I really envy Song Xinci. No matter where she goes, men will fall in love with her."

"You can, if you want."

"Haha, sister, you have high standards, ordinary men won't be attracted by you."

"I think you have high expectations but low skills, that's why you can't find a suitable Taoist partner."

"Can you care?!"

While Zhuque and Xuanjiao were bickering, their movements gradually accelerated, and in a blink of an eye they were chasing towards the town.

But after they left, two more people arrived at the hut.

"Tsk tsk, the head is separated, but the wound is not flat and smooth enough. This shows that Song Xinci's cultivation has not yet recovered to the Return to Void Realm. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"This woman is insidious and cunning. Perhaps she wanted us to see this on purpose."

"It's okay. I do have a plan, but I need to borrow your life."

……

Yun Yi didn't know that he was given the title of the "Scholarly Scholar Meng Fan".

In his previous life, he could not help at all and could only watch Song Xinci fight the four villains. When the four of them attacked together, they were quite difficult to deal with and used only despicable tricks.

For some purpose, Song Xinci deliberately fought with them for more than ten rounds, tearing the thatched cottage into pieces. Finally, he made a stunning sword move and crushed the four people to pieces.

Yun Yi knew very well that his wife had been hiding her abilities.

Not only did she not stay away from this nameless town that looked suspicious, but she insisted on hiding here. She had other plans.

Song Xinci of the Demon Sect, almost all those who dared to underestimate her in her previous life are dead.

When the two were on their way, Song Xinci transformed herself into an ugly girl. Her "perfect method" was quite effective, and was different from the illusions used by ordinary practitioners to cover up.

The latter would be immediately recognized by someone with higher cultivation, but the former could evade detection. Yun Yi was quite curious about the ugly girl and asked, "Since those people can find your mother, they can also find out that Aunt Qiu is accompanied by an ugly girl. Why don't you change your clothes?"

Song Xinci was busy walking and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Yun Yi muttered to himself, "How's that saying, 'Good hunters often appear as prey?'"

"Will you shut up!" Song Xinci really didn't understand why the other party could always guess her true intentions. Could it be that the Heart-to-Heart Gu also had this effect? ​​But why could she never see through him?
"If you want to do something, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you. At the very least, I won't become a stumbling block for you."

"What if I just want you to be completely clueless and become my helper without realizing it?"

Yun Yi smiled and said, "That depends on whether you can hide it from me."

He clearly had no cultivation at all, yet he was so confident. If it weren't for the Concentric Gu restraining him, Song Xinci really wanted to kill him.

The two walked into an unknown town. It was not a wealthy place, but it happened to be located on the border between two countries. It was a seemingly peaceful and lawless place.

With only a few native residents left, most of the residents are hardy individuals seeking a living. These independent cultivators operate without regard for rules, relying solely on their strength, a practice that has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that as long as you have a strong fist, you can do whatever you want. The disadvantage is that there is no morality or rule of law here. If you see injustice, don't draw your sword to help, otherwise you will end up like Yun Yi.

But the interesting thing is that the nameless town has a big boss who is feared by everyone. His fists are the biggest and the hardest, but he is not a bad person, so the town is actually peaceful and harmonious.

The fact that Qiu Qinglian ended up here actually had something to do with the boss.

As someone who had experienced Blood Town once, Yun Yi naturally understood the strangeness of this place. To put it bluntly, this place was a microcosm of the world of cultivation, its cannibalistic nature disguised under the so-called civilized rules.

The town wasn't large, but it was relatively well-organized. To the north lay the headmaster's residence, a place not to be messed with. To the northeast lay the gambling den, and to the southeast lay the brothel. To the south lay the residential area, to the northwest lay the mass graves, and to the southwest lay the refugee camp.

Song Xinci took Yun Yi to the southwest, where there were only emaciated people, looking extremely miserable.

Yun Yi's gaze fell on a boy with a big head and a small body, as if he felt a little reluctant.

Song Xinci said, "Put away your kindness. Since they have come to this nameless town and chosen this way of living, they don't need other people's sympathy."

"So what if I have to sympathize?"

"When a dog sees food, it wags its tail and begs for mercy. But when hundreds of dogs see food, they just fight and tear each other apart."

"Oh, aren't you people who practice cultivation? Don't you have the intention to save them?"

"The purpose of cultivating immortality is to save oneself; saving others is the skill of immortals."

As they talked, they arrived at a dilapidated temple. Strangely, for a rare place to shelter from the wind and rain, there was no one inside.

Yun Yi had noticed something along the way and asked, "It seems that Chou Ya's face is quite prestigious in the refugee area."

Song Xinci said expressionlessly, "I've killed some people and given them some steamed buns, so naturally they respect me."

"You're really capable of using your cultivation skills to bully a group of hungry refugees."

"No, I had already sealed myself off as a cultivator at that time."

Song Xinci no longer discussed the issue, and it was obvious that she did not want to recall those days, when she and her mother depended on each other for survival and had done many despicable and lowly things.

Although I have no objection to this kind of thing, it is not a happy thing to think about it.

Yun Yi said quietly, "I thought that people who practiced cultivation all lived a life like immortals, free and easy."

Song Xinci said, "Before becoming an immortal, a cultivator is no different from a dog digging for food in the dirt."

"Is it possible that this is only the case with your Demon Sect, and it's not the case with the Righteous Path?"

"It's just a dog wearing clothes and digging in the prettier dirt."

"Hearing what you said, I don't want to practice anymore."

"You have no choice."
