Chat group: All my group members are in the villain camp

The soldier looked them over suspiciously for a few moments, then flipped through the roster in his hand.

"The Western Regions? Never heard of them. Do you have any identification?"

Ye Ming sensed something was wrong and quickly said, "This... we just went through a great calamity, and all our belongings were lost. Please be lenient, General."

"Do you think I'm stupid? You think you can get into the city without proof? Dream on!"

The soldiers rudely berated them and raised their hands to drive them away.

Ye Ming's mind raced, and he was about to make a move when Sun Qianqian beat him to it.

She walked gracefully forward, looked up at the soldier, and her eyes sparkled.

"General, we really have nowhere to go. Please have some compassion and let us into the city to take refuge, okay?"

Her voice was soft and charming, full of shyness, enough to steal one's soul.

Sure enough, the soldier's face turned red instantly, and he stammered, unable to speak.

After a long pause, he managed to squeeze out a sentence:

"Fine, fine then! I'll do it because you're so cute! Let's go, let's go!"

Sun Qianqian smiled radiantly, and even gave a flirtatious wink, saying, "General, you are such a kind person! I will definitely repay you handsomely another day!"

Having said that, he pulled the dumbfounded Ye Ming along and walked into the city with his head held high.

The city gate slammed shut behind them, shutting out the soldiers' angry curses.

"Xiaoqian, I didn't expect your 'seductive skills' to be so impressive!"

Ye Ming, still shaken, exclaimed in sincere admiration.

Sun Qianqian smiled smugly and said, "Of course! We female cultivators aren't just pretty faces! Sometimes we need to use our beauty to pave the way!"

"Alright, alright, don't get too cocky."

Ye Ming was both amused and exasperated, and gently rubbed her head.

"It seems that this world is highly hierarchical and vigilant. We must be extra careful in our actions."

"I know~ I have Brother Ye protecting me!"

Sun Qianqian stuck out her tongue, completely ignoring his warning.

Ye Ming shook his head helplessly and looked around at the street scene.

"Let's find a place to stay first. Then we can find out more about the situation here."

"Okay! I'll listen to Brother Ye!"

Sun Qianqian nodded happily.

The two then strolled hand in hand through the bustling streets, beginning their exploration of this new and wondrous world.

Chapter 1578 The Secret Behind the Fragrance of Wine! (Begging for full subscription)

In a corner of this bustling city, there is an inconspicuous little bar.

On the dilapidated wooden door hangs a rickety signboard with the three characters "Zui Xian Ju" written on it.

Ye Ming and Sun Qianqian entered the store and found it deserted with only a handful of people inside.

"Please come in, sir. What would you like to order?"

The shopkeeper came forward with a friendly smile, but there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"I'd like two superior rooms, a few side dishes, and two jugs of your best wine."

Ye Ming casually gave the order, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings without making a sound.

"Oh my, you have a good eye! Our Drunken Immortal Brew is one of the finest wines in the city!"

The shopkeeper beamed with joy, readily agreed, and turned to prepare.

"Brother Ye, you said this wine is called 'Drunken Immortal,' could it really get even immortals like us drunk?"

Sun Qianqian sat at the table, muttering to herself curiously.

Ye Ming chuckled and said, "How could that be? With our cultivation, we wouldn't even consider mere mortal wine a threat."

"Besides, we can also gather some information while we're under the influence of alcohol, can't we?"

"Brother Ye is wise!"

Sun Qianqian suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly in admiration.

Soon, the innkeeper served the wine and dishes.

Ye Ming raised his glass and took a sip, immediately catching a refreshing aroma of wine that was invigorating.

"Indeed, it is good wine."

He nodded approvingly and poured Sun Qianqian another cup.

"Xiaoqian, try this. This wine can nourish your skin and make you even more beautiful!"

"Really? Then I'll have to drink a few more glasses!"

Sun Qianqian excitedly picked up her wine glass and took small sips.

After finishing the glass, a blush had already crept onto her pretty face.

Looking at her charming and adorable appearance, Ye Ming couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart.

"Ahem, shopkeeper."

He feigned composure and changed the subject.

"May I ask what's been happening here lately? We're new here and not quite familiar with the area yet."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Are you asking about things in the city, sir? Well, there's plenty to say!"

He leaned closer to Ye Ming and whispered mysteriously:

"I heard that the city is haunted lately! In the middle of the night, people keep seeing dark shadows flying around on the rooftops, it's terrifying!"

A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in Ye Ming's heart.

"Haunted? Do you know what that shadowy figure looks like?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I don't know. Anyway, it's definitely not a person, because you can't catch it at all! It disappears in the blink of an eye, like a ghost!"

Ye Ming nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Besides the shadowy figure, is there anything else unusual?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment, then hesitated and said:

"Well... I'm afraid it might scare you if I told you. But since you asked, I'll tell you the truth."

"Any family that sees a dark shadow is guaranteed to have something bad happen the next day! Either a girl will go missing, or a child will be gone. It's like they've been bewitched by a demon; none of them will ever be found!"

"what?!"

Sun Qianqian screamed and covered her mouth in terror.

"Demons?! How is this possible? Wasn't it said that there were no cultivators in this world?"

Ye Ming was also startled, and his gaze instantly sharpened.

"It seems things aren't that simple."

He muttered to himself, then quickly calmed down.

"Shopkeeper, who are these missing people you mentioned? Do they have anything in common?"

"This one……"

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.

With a thought, Ye Ming secretly channeled his spiritual power and swept it across the palm.

Chapter 1579 The City Lord is Actually the Man Behind the Scenes? (Begging for Full Subscription)

Suddenly, a strange and malevolent aura entered Ye Ming's senses.

"Demonic energy! How can there be demonic energy within you?!"

Ye Ming suddenly stood up, and the Tai Xuan Sword leaped out, pointing directly at the shopkeeper.

"Who the hell are you?!"

The shopkeeper's face changed drastically, and he retreated in a panic, saying, "Sir, please calm down! I... I really didn't know!"

"Enough with the nonsense! Who ordered you to spy on us?!"

Ye Ming pressed forward relentlessly, the tip of his sword flashing with a cold light.

"No, don't kill me! I'll talk! I'll talk, okay?!"

The shopkeeper fell to his knees with a thud, trembling.

"Yes, it was the city lord... who instructed me to keep an eye out for any suspicious outsiders... especially cultivators... and to report them as soon as I find any..."

"The city lord? The demonic energy has even reached the city lord? It seems this world has been deeply infiltrated by demons!"

Ye Ming frowned and put away the Tai Xuan Sword.

The shopkeeper felt as if he had been granted a pardon and fled in a panic.

"Brother Ye, what should we do? It seems the demons have been eyeing us for a while now!"

Sun Qianqian was still in shock and clung tightly to Ye Ming's arm.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here, I won't let them hurt you."

Ye Ming patted her hand reassuringly, his gaze firm.

"Let's go and meet this 'Lord City' and see who he really is!"

[Zhang Dapao (Resident Evil World): Demons?! Holy crap! Wasn't this world supposed to be free of cultivation? How come there are these things?]

[Jiang Tong (Naruto World): Maybe they have hidden strength? Low-key cultivation, high-profile showing off, you know what I mean~]

[Xu Bufan (Snow World): With Brother Ye Ming being so awesome, what's there to be afraid of mere demons? He'll teach them a lesson in no time!]

[Yun Shanshan (Dou Qi World): Exactly! Seeing his valiant figure fighting the enemy, I'm even a little moved...]

[Wang Lei (One Piece World): Please, the focus is on demons, not Ye Ming! Besides, he's already taken!]

[Chen Keke (Demon Slayer World): High-energy warning ahead! Brother Ye Ming is going to take on the boss one-on-one!]

Ye Ming led Sun Qianqian out of the tavern.

Night had fallen, and a cold wind was blowing.

A lone moon hangs in the sky, and the Milky Way shines brightly.

The long street was deserted, with only the desolate echo of the wind blowing by.

"Brother Ye, do you think this 'city lord' might be a demon? If that's the case, we're probably in grave danger."

Sun Qianqian shivered and said uneasily.

"Don't overthink it. Cultivation is all about 'comprehension.' Maybe they've just gone astray, and with a little guidance, we can even become allies from another world!"

Ye Ming smiled confidently, his eyes piercing.

"Furthermore, these mere demons are no match for me, Ye!"

Before he could finish speaking, a dark figure suddenly descended from the sky!

"who!"

Ye Ming shouted sharply, drawing his sword and shielding Sun Qianqian behind him.

The shadow landed, its form revealed in the moonlight.

It turned out to be a strange person, completely black, like a ghost!
