His men quickly ran away, and the fat man chuckled, "Brother Qiang, you've run into another little lady who wants to kill you. You're really busy!"
The murderer cursed angrily, "I don't even know which woman I messed with, she sends women to kill me every day. Do you think I'm living an easy life?"
Qiang, the murderer, was puzzled. In the past two weeks, only women had tried to kill him. Men should have been lining up behind him!
However, the killer still spoke nonchalantly: "There's a line of people waiting to kill me, but I don't want to die at the hands of some nobody for no reason! I need to interrogate the girl who wants to kill me properly!"
The fat man nodded knowingly, gave a lewd smile, and said nothing.
Soon, the curtain fell, and the central city was bathed in the beautiful glow of the setting sun; the red sunset resembled a ball of flame…
Gu Liyan, who was walking slowly along the road, raised his head and looked at the sunset in the sky. He frowned slightly, feeling a little strange. How could the sunset in this world be like this?
Just as Gu Liyan was wondering, an old man beside him muttered to himself, "It's a fiery sunset! It seems another disaster is about to occur!"
Gu Liyan looked at the old man with suspicion, walked over and asked, "Sir, isn't the fiery cloud you just mentioned a natural phenomenon? Why are you talking about a disaster?"
The old man, dressed in a clean robe, glanced at Gu Liyan with a wise and sharp look in his eyes. "Outside, a fiery sunset is a natural sight, but in the Central City, it's an omen of disaster!"
Gu Liyan was still somewhat puzzled. As the punisher of the Nine Springs Realm, how could he not know that there was a calamity in this world?
Just as he was about to ask what kind of disaster it was, the ground beneath his feet suddenly began to shake violently. The old man swayed and almost fell to the ground, but Gu Liyan, out of kindness, quickly helped him up.
Then, something astonishing happened to Gu Liyan: the city walls of the central city kept rising, as if a huge protective umbrella was slowly closing in. In the blink of an eye, the city walls transformed into a new world, enveloping the central city completely!
Gu Liyan stared in shock at the scene, his lips trembling slightly as he was at a loss for words. This was simply a natural protective shield! This Central City was truly unimaginable!
Seeing Gu Liyan's surprised expression, the old man suddenly burst into laughter. "Haha, the central magic array of Central City is activated, there are no safety hazards! Kid, I bet this is your first time in Central City, isn't it?"
Gu Liyan looked at the old man and nodded subconsciously.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this central city is even safer than the four cities!" The old man chuckled, speaking in a comforting tone, and patted Gu Liyan on the shoulder, as if the disaster he had just mentioned was nothing more than a light drizzle!
Gu Liyan was really curious, and just as he was about to continue questioning the old man, a small squad of armored warriors rushed towards Gu Liyan and his companion.
They approached Gu Liyan, who instinctively shielded the old man behind her.
Gu Liyan's actions puzzled the armored warriors, who looked at the old man behind him with questioning eyes.
The old man patted Gu Liyan on the shoulder from behind. "Kid, they're here to pick me up. Don't be nervous."
Upon hearing the old man's words, Gu Liyan immediately lowered her guard. The old man took a few steps forward, preparing to leave with the armored warrior, when suddenly he remembered something, turned to look at Gu Liyan, and spoke.
"My name is Tianzhi. I see you are quite curious about formations. If you want to know the secret of this city wall formation, you can come to my residence."
Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly nodded, "I am Mo Li, and I will visit you another day. Please do not hesitate to give me your guidance."
Hearing Gu Liyan's modest words, Tianzhi laughed and left with the armored warrior without saying anything.
As Gu Liyan watched the departing old man, suddenly the "protective umbrella" above lit up, stretching the old man's shadow to a very long length, making Gu Liyan feel that the old man's figure had become exceptionally tall.
"Tianzhi?"
Gu Liyan frowned, seemingly having heard the name before. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as if he had realized something... So, he was the wisest person in the world!
In order to complete the mission of hunting down the Demon Scorpion, Gu Liyan has memorized the names of famous figures in this world.
"So it's Master Tianzhi of the Formation! I didn't expect him to notice my interest in formations. How interesting!"
Looking at the wall that could no longer be called a city wall, Gu Liyan made up his mind that he would definitely visit this wise man tomorrow!
On the other side, Mo Shang, who was on the road, regretted throwing Hua Xiaoxiao away.
"Damn it."
Mo Shang's face was gloomy. In the past few days, he had been traveling and all he had been around were men and old people. He hadn't even seen a decent-looking woman in the mountain villages. How could he, with his philandering nature, possibly tolerate this?
Mo Shang kept cursing Hua Xiaoxiao and Zi Xin, "You two bitches, I'll definitely take care of you both next time we meet!"
No sooner had he finished cursing than Mo Shang's carriage came to a sudden stop. Mo Shang snapped, "Damn it! Can't you drive?"
The coachman said apologetically, "Young Master Mo, we've arrived, but..."
Upon hearing the coachman say they had arrived, Mo Shang immediately lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage. "We're here, so why the sudden stop?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Shang froze on the spot, only to see that the airtight city wall looked like a giant egg being wrapped inside.
"What, what's going on?" Mo Shang looked at the scene with confusion.
