Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

While the old shopkeeper went to the kitchen, Li Moxuan sat at the counter and waited. He overheard the conversation of the people at the table behind him.

"Have you heard? Huanmengtian and Leiyu have formed a marriage alliance. The legendary number one beauty of the Great Thousand God Realm has married the domain lord of Leiyu!"

"Huh? That's outrageous! That guy could be that girl's grandfather! An old cow eating young grass!"

"That's not the most shocking part. I heard that the bride ran away from the wedding last night and they still haven't found her!"

"real or fake?"

"Of course, didn't you see those Dream Heaven guards outside? They're searching house to house! They'll probably be here soon!"

"..."

Just then, the old shopkeeper came over carrying a steaming basket of bread. "Sir, we have steamed buns and dumplings here. How many would you like?"

"Give me all of them! Thank you!"

Li Moxuan took out a bag of spirit essence and placed it on the table. The value of this bag of spirit essence was obviously far greater than the breakfast, but the old shopkeeper pushed it back and took out the spirit essence he had paid for last night.

"What is this...?"

The old shopkeeper sighed, stuffed all the spirit essence into Li Moxuan's hands, and then busied himself packing up breakfast.

"Let's get there quickly with that girl! The sooner the better. Those people outside will probably be here soon. Let's save these spirit essences for the journey!"

He had heard the rumors outside long ago, and his first thought was of Li Moxuan and Yue Xiling, who had checked in last night...

Judging from Yue Xiling's behavior last night, she didn't seem to be forced. Her shy expression clearly showed that she and Yue Xiling were mutually attracted.

It must be that Lei Yu insisted on getting involved, like an old cow eating young grass, and then the young couple couldn't stand it anymore and eloped together. At least that's what the old shopkeeper thought.

He handed the packed breakfast to Li Moxuan, "Take that girl downstairs and go out the back door. I'll try my best to buy you some time. Treat that girl well..."

After hearing his words, Li Moxuan remained silent for a moment, then picked up the two bags of spirit essence from the table and stuffed them back into the old shopkeeper's hands. "Don't worry, we have enough money for our journey!"

He turned and walked towards the stairs with the breakfast in his hand. "We don't want to owe anyone favors, so please keep these spirit essences!"

Watching his retreating figure, the old shopkeeper sighed. "Young man indeed," he thought, "young and impetuous. I'm getting old..."

At this moment, a group of guards entered the inn, led by Wei Xuancang from the Thunder Domain, who had requested permission from Yue Qingxuan to lead troops to search for Yue Xiling...

He walked up to the old shopkeeper with Yue Xiling's portrait in his hand. "Have you seen the person in the portrait?"

"Never seen this before. If you're not staying here, then leave now and don't disturb my business!"

Chapter 392: Where Did Cinderella Come From?

How dare an old man be so arrogant?

Wei Xuancang found it a bit suspicious. "I'm going up to search it. If there are no problems, I'll leave..."

"Young man, don't be so impetuous, be careful not to strain your back..."

The old shopkeeper stepped out from behind the counter and placed his hand on Wei Xuancang's shoulder. Wei Xuancang instantly felt a sense of oppression and was startled. This person was a Deity of the Realm, whose cultivation was above his own.

Realizing something was wrong, he waved to the guards, "You all go out and search other places!"

"Yes……"

Seeing that something was wrong, the customers in the shop hurriedly left their money and left...

Wei Xuancang gave the old shopkeeper in front of him a wary look. "Who are you?"

"Go back and ask Bai Jingzhe! Tell him not to bother me unless it's absolutely necessary..."

After hearing his words, Wei Xuancang was even more puzzled. Could it be that the Domain Lord knew this old man in front of him?

Out of caution, he left the inn, glanced at its name—Yunxi Inn—and sat down in the teahouse opposite, closely watching the people coming and going.

At the same time, he used the divine decree to contact Bai Jingzhe and report the situation...

"You mean an old man told me not to bother him? What does he look like?"

Wei Xuancang observed through the window the old shopkeeper who was slowly clearing away the dishes and wiping the table.

He was wearing a faded gray cotton shirt and an old cloth apron tied around his waist; he looked like an ordinary old man…

After hearing his description, Bai Jingzhe was even more confused. He didn't seem to remember this person! But his strength was indeed above Wei Xuancang's, which was really strange...

"Keep an eye on her. That girl might be hiding there. Don't let anyone suspicious leave. I'm coming!"

"Understood!"

Bai Jingzhe put away the divine decree and transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing towards the Cloud Nest Inn, seemingly unaware of the two masked figures passing below...

Inside the Yunqi Inn, seeing that Li Moxuan hadn't brought anyone down for a long time, the old innkeeper packed his things, went upstairs, and knocked on the room door.

"Hey! Young man, young lady, are you two still there?"

No one answered...

The old shopkeeper used the spare key on his waist to open the door. The room had been cleaned up, with only the breakfast wrappers remaining to prove that someone had stayed there.

Strange, where did the person go?

He walked to the window and looked down. Could the young couple have jumped out of the window?

But I guess you could say you escaped...

Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed in the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck the front of Yunxi Inn like a falling thunderbolt.

The old shopkeeper muttered to himself, "I told him not to bother me, but this guy still showed up uninvited. How annoying..."

"What about people?"

Bai Jingzhe stepped into Yunqi Inn and happened to meet the old innkeeper who had just come downstairs. After looking him over, he was stunned.

"You are...Lord Narre?"

Nar is another Thunder Lord of the Thunder Domain, whose guardian deity is Thor, the God of Thunder. He is also the second strongest person in the Great Thousand God Realm in terms of open strength, second only to Jian Wushuang, and has been in the seventh realm of immortality for many years.

"it's me……"

The old shopkeeper, Nar, walked back to the counter and said, "You can stay here, but don't disturb my business or affect my life, or don't blame me for throwing you out!"

"Lord Lei, what brings you to this godforsaken place?"

"Is it any of your business? If you're not staying at the hotel, then get out!"

Bai Jingzhe was also quite helpless about this. Although Nar was one of the Thunder Lords of the Thunder Domain, he promised to only help when the Thunder Domain faced a life-or-death crisis.

However, Bai Jingzhe cunningly concealed this promise, and the other factions were unaware of it...

"Domain Lord, what should we do?"

Few people in the Thunder Domain had ever seen Nar, and Wei Xuancang was no exception, so he didn't recognize that this old shopkeeper was one of the famous Thunder Lords of the Thunder Domain.

"What else can we do? Look around, then go back!"

"it is good……"

Bai Jingzhe was also quite helpless. They had gone to great lengths to obtain this promise back then. If the two Ghost Emperors of the Underworld found out about this, the Underworld would probably not be able to sit still.

Life-or-death crisis, huh? Then I won't kill you, I'll just beat you to a pulp, cripple you, isn't that enough?

He dared not gamble on how Nar perceived the life-or-death crisis, so he dared not act recklessly...

On the other side, Li Moxuan had already left the inn with Yue Xiling via spatial jump shortly after Wei Xuancang was kicked out.

Yue Xiling glanced furtively at Bai Jingzhe, who had transformed into lightning and vanished, and breathed a sigh of relief. "That was thrilling! We passed right under his nose, and he didn't even notice..."

"Stop being so smug, hurry up and get going!"

With a wave of his hand, Li Moxuan unleashed divine power, and two warhorses appeared before him. One was the White-hoofed Black Horse he had ridden earlier, and the other was the purplish-red Salu Purple Horse.

These two horses were Li Shimin's warhorses, but he no longer needed them and gave them to Li Moxuan as mounts...

Li Moxuan grabbed the reins, flipped himself onto the back of the white-hoofed black horse, and shouted, "Hurry up and get on the horse, let's get out of here!"

Yue Xiling looked at the warhorse that was so close at hand, hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and struggled to climb onto the horse.

Seeing her like this, Li Moxuan was a little suspicious, "You don't know how to ride a horse, do you?"

"how is this possible?"

After regaining her balance, Yue Xiling raised her chin. "It's so simple, how could anyone not know how?"

"Okay, I'll ride slower, you stay close to me!"

"no problem……"

Li Moxuan gripped the reins tightly, patted the horse's back, and said, "Little Wu, let's go!"

The white hooves beneath him let out a neigh and carried Li Moxuan swiftly forward.

Following suit, Yue Xiling grabbed the reins and gently patted Sa Lu Zi's back. "Little Wu, let's go, hurry up and catch up with him!"

Sa Lu Zi also let out a roar and transformed into a gust of wind, rushing forward. She quickly caught up with Li Mo Xuan, which surprised Li Mo Xuan a bit. This girl's riding skills are not bad!

Soon, Saluzi overtook Li Moxuan. Li Moxuan was stunned when he saw this, not because he was shocked by Saluzi's speed, but because there was no one on horseback...

He immediately stopped his horse and hurried back. Sa Lu Zi also turned around and followed him. Soon they found Yue tide Ling, who looked a little disheveled and was walking towards them step by step.

Seeing her disheveled appearance, Li Moxuan couldn't help but laugh, "Where did this Cinderella come from?"

Hearing his teasing, Yue Xiling blushed and said, "I just did it by accident. I'll try again, it'll definitely work!"

"Okay, give it another try..."

Yue Xiling mustered her courage, grabbed the reins again, and climbed back onto the horse. As expected, she fell off again after only a couple of steps...

Unconvinced, she climbed back onto the horse's back and tempted it, "Little Wu, how about I treat you to some grass later? Don't throw me off!"

Li Moxuan: "..."

Chapter 393: Flying Close to the Ground

"Forget it, forget it. Being too proud will only lead to suffering..."

After Yue Xiling fell several more times, Li Moxuan snapped his fingers, and Sa Lu Zi disappeared.

Whether it was the soldiers or these mounts, they had only entrusted their souls to Li Moxuan, and could only appear through Li Moxuan's divine power as a vessel.

He reached out his hand to Yue Xiling, "Come up here. You can practice on your own when you have time later. Don't waste your time here!"
