Chapter 268: Fellow Friend, Please Stay
However, many cultivators soon showed difficult expressions.
Even though they had received the information, the lack of precise details made it hard for them to continue.
Some cultivators turned their gazes towards Wu Laoda, hoping to learn more from him.
But after delivering the news, Wu Laoda seemed to sense the unfriendly looks from many and, after finishing his spirit wine, walked towards the entrance of the inn!
Seeing Wu Laoda leave, several people quickly settled their bills and followed him out of the inn.
Ji Yang was one of them.
Although there were various inconsistencies in Wu Laoda’s words and what he said was not entirely true, he still revealed useful information.
This person was indeed quite well-informed.
After leaving the inn, Wu Laoda naturally noticed the other cultivators trailing behind him.
However, at this moment, Wu Laoda felt no panic; he continued walking steadily down the street, a light smile on his lips.
Soon, Wu Laoda turned into a narrow alley, and the few cultivators following him, losing sight of him, hurried into the alley without caring to hide their tracks.
But when they arrived in the alley, they found it completely empty, and Wu Laoda’s figure had already disappeared without them noticing.
They looked around in dismay, realizing they had lost him, and could only sigh in frustration before turning to leave.
Moments later, Wu Laoda’s figure reappeared in the alley, and as he did, a piece of grayish-yellow tattered cloth appeared in his hand.
Wu Laoda glanced at the artifact in his hand with an expression of pride.
Did they really think they could follow him?
He, Wu Laoda, had managed to survive in Heaven Demon City for so long because he had some skills!
Just as Wu Laoda was putting away the artifact, preparing to leave the alley with style, he suddenly heard a lightly spoken voice from behind:
"Fellow friend, please stay!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Laoda paused, feeling a chill in his heart.
Before revealing himself, he had checked carefully and didn’t remember anyone else being in the alley.
But if that were the case, who was the owner of this voice?
Wu Laoda sensed trouble; this time, he might be in for a challenge.
Slowly, he turned around, and in the process, he discreetly produced a delicate talisman.
As he turned, the talisman suddenly emitted a bright light.
Seeing the talisman activating and his figure wrapping in its glow, Wu Laoda regained his confidence and shouted at Ji Yang,
“Who the hell are you? Just because you tell me to stay, I’m supposed to? I’m leaving!”
With that, the talisman flashed and faded away, and Wu Laoda maintained a calm demeanor.
He had spent a significant amount of spiritual stones to acquire that talisman, which had a small Teleportation Array inscribed on it, capable of sending him several miles away.
While it seemed a bit wasteful to use it here, Wu Laoda felt compelled to do so after hearing that voice without hesitation.
As the talisman turned to ash in his hand, Wu Laoda slowly opened his eyes.
He had a pleased expression on his face; although he lost a talisman, at least his life was safe.
But before his joy could fully fade, as Wu Laoda opened his eyes, he saw a strange young man in front of him and the familiar walls surrounding him, while he heard the young man’s friendly voice saying,
"What did you just say, fellow friend? I didn’t catch it. Could you please say it again?"
Hearing that familiar voice, Wu Laoda’s expression drastically changed as he looked at the ash that was once his talisman! His eyes revealed disbelief!
It couldn’t be!
He had clearly used the talisman; how could he not have teleported away?
Could it be that he bought a fake?
Wu Laoda couldn’t afford to question further; the young man’s smiling gaze made his heart feel cold.
Even though the talisman had disappeared, he wasn’t ready to accept his fate. His feet felt unsteady, and he immediately ran towards the exit of the alley.
This was Heaven Demon City, where cultivators patrolled. Once outside, he doubted this person would dare to act openly.
But before Wu Laoda could take several steps, he felt a heavy binding sensation in his body, as if he were stuck in quicksand and unable to move; even the spiritual energy inside him felt frozen at that moment.
As he realized this, Wu Laoda’s expression changed drastically, and understanding dawned on him.
It wasn’t that the effect of his talisman had worn off; it was that this person used some means to stop him.
Such a power was not something he could contend with.
It was futile to resist!
Without time to think further, Wu Laoda quickly changed his expression and plastered a smile on his face:
“Ahem, fellow friend, you misunderstood; what I said earlier was nonsense, please don’t take it to heart!”
“If you have any questions, feel free to ask; I will certainly speak without reservation!”
Wu Laoda said, showing his understanding of the situation.
The reason the young man followed him was undoubtedly to ask about the information he shared in the inn; all he had to do was answer honestly and avoid angering this person.
Seeing that Wu Laoda had abandoned any foolish actions, Ji Yang did not press the matter further and simply asked,
“Please elaborate on what you mentioned earlier about the Demon Spirit Ore!”
“Of course!” Wu Laoda replied earnestly, immediately sharing all he knew.
Ji Yang also gathered a lot of information from his words.
After Ji Yang left, the Heaven Demon Sect began to capture the escaped disciples from the He Dao Sect.
However, as the news wasn’t very timely and the leading Elder Guan had come after him, many He Dao Sect disciples had already hidden in various places.
But some disciples were discovered by the Heaven Demon Sect and re-captured back into the Demon Spirit Ore mines.
Regarding this, Ji Yang showed no change in expression. As the senior brother for this trial mission, he had done his part; whether they could escape the pursuit of the Heaven Demon Sect depended entirely on their own abilities! He felt no guilt!
As for the details, Wu Laoda didn’t know very well.
After finishing his explanation, Wu Laoda stood nervously to the side, watching Ji Yang who was deep in thought, feeling a wave of worry in his heart.
What if this person didn’t let him go?
Should he reveal more information?
At that moment, Wu Laoda began to speculate what the young man might want to know from his answers.
Although Wu Laoda knew the general happenings regarding the Demon Spirit Ore, he didn’t see much value in it.
Perhaps the only thing that would interest other cultivators was the He Dao Sect disciple who had escaped the Elder’s grasp?
After all, that person was a talented disciple of the He Dao Sect and had improved the He Hua spiritual grains; many cultivators would want to capture him before the Heaven Demon Sect did, seeking benefits for their own factions.
And the things that Wu Laoda knew were certainly also known to people from other sects or families, but they wouldn’t be as detailed as his information.
