In the blink of an eye, the group ran to the intersection. Tu Nian glanced at the dark mass of demon guards behind him and shouted, "Where are we going?"
"here."
“This way!”
Jin Nanfeng and Chu Qiurong responded simultaneously, but their actions gave diametrically opposed answers. In a hurry, no one could really think too much. Xu Ziqiao subconsciously followed Chu Qiurong, who was closest, to the left side of the intersection. Tu Nian, having heard Jin Nanfeng speak first, followed him to the right, and Bo Qiu did the same.
The five people moving at high speed were immediately divided into two groups, which was undoubtedly beyond everyone's expectations. In the end, Jin Nanfeng was experienced and came up with a countermeasure in a flash.
With lightning speed, he slid several thousand-mile sound transmission notes out of his sleeves and threw them to Chu Qiurong in the opposite direction. Then he made a hand gesture and a cold wind immediately blew up, carrying Tu Nian and Bo Qiu away from the scene at an accelerated speed.
Chu Qiurong understood his intention the moment she took the talisman, and reached out to pull Xu Ziqiao, who was hesitant and kept looking back.
"Stop looking and run."
"But Senior Brother..."
"That guy is a good man, not a bandit! How can he eat my brother?"
Chu Qiurong wanted to open his head and see what was inside.
"oh."
Xu Ziqiao then responded sullenly and put his mind back on running.
Compared to Tu Nian's side, the situation of the two of them was obviously not so good.
While observing the demon guards who were chasing after her, Chu Qiurong dragged Xu Ziqiao through the alleys of the slums in a disorderly manner. It should not take long before they could shake them off.
But no one knew what method those demons used, it was as if they could smell something and they were always able to find where they were going.
Finally, taking advantage of the guards' search, Chu Qiurong and Xu Ziqiao found an uninhabited low-rise building and broke in, hiding and taking a short rest.
"This is a big trouble."
Looking out the window at the chaotic street, Chu Qiurong said solemnly, "The demons that split into two groups couldn't catch up with Senior Brother, and many have already turned to our side."
"What are you afraid of?"
Pulling out the red flower from his waist with his backhand, Xu Ziqiao snorted, "At worst, we can just fight them!"
Looking at him with both anger and amusement, Chu Qiurong said, "Sometimes I'm curious, San'er, is there anything else on your mind besides fighting and Big Brother?"
"Since I chose to cultivate Taoism, I believe that strength is supreme."
Xu Ziqiao crossed his arms and said as if it was a matter of course, "If Second Brother had the same strength as First Brother, I would also sincerely respect him."
"What about the little junior sister?"
Chu Qiurong asked him out of the blue, which startled Xu Ziqiao.
"Why mention her?" Xu Ziqiao felt extremely disappointed.
He just didn't understand why someone who loved to do weird things was so popular in the sect. He clearly despised people who took shortcuts.
Chu Qiurong brushed off the dust on her body and said, "I was told that you've always been quite tolerant towards those outer disciples with relatively low cultivation levels. Why is it that when it comes to Junior Sister, your attitude changes?"
He has been concerned about this matter for a long time.
It has been like this ever since Tu Nian joined the sect. Whenever this kid encounters something related to Tu Nian, his attitude becomes particularly bad. Even after Tu Nian rescued him from Yuqing's dungeon, he only restrained himself a little bit at most. Now that the competition is over, it seems that he has become back to normal.
Tu Nian is a good person and doesn't bother with him, but that doesn't mean he should just let it go.
"I didn't." Xu Ziqiao denied it flatly.
Chu Qiurong shrugged indifferently at his stubbornness and said, "Then I'll just guess."
Not long after, he smacked his lips and said lightly, "You are jealous of my junior sister."
"fart."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Ziqiao started cursing.
Chu Qiurong's expression remained unchanged as she said leisurely, "Before Junior Sister joined the sect, Master always loved you the most."
Xu Ziqiao frowned at him, his drooping arms gradually tensing, "Are you done yet?"
Chu Qiurong pretended not to hear and continued, "Now I have a little junior sister. Not only is she more talented than you, she's also more sensible. Master dotes on her even more. Even the senior brother praises her..."
"I told you to stop talking!"
Hearing this, Xu Ziqiao's expression became distorted. He shouted angrily, and the hand hanging by his side changed from a palm to a fist, and slammed it towards Chu Qiurong's face.
Chu Qiurong knew that he would be angry, but he didn't expect it to reach this extent. When he reacted, the opponent's fist was almost at his face. He had to use his spiritual power to barely avoid the punch with a strong wind. The punch that Xu Ziqiao dodged did not miss, and it hit the wall behind him heavily, making a dull sound.
Chu Qiurong turned her head and looked at him in surprise, "Are you crazy? There are only demons down there. Isn't using spiritual power like this a death wish?"
Xu Ziqiao was still angry and seemed to have something to say, but before he could speak, as if to confirm Chu Qiurong's words, several hoarse voices were heard outside the building where they were.
"What's that noise in the building?"
"Go in and take a look!"
Soon, scattered footsteps were heard downstairs, and it sounded like there were at least a dozen people.
"You."
Chu Qiurong pointed at Xu Ziqiao's nose in frustration, then immediately started looking for an escape route in the room.
Xu Ziqiao gritted his teeth and followed him in search without saying a word.
After a lot of hard work, before the demons arrived, Chu Qiurong finally found a sealed window from under the discarded wood piled up in the house. Through the gap between the wooden boards sealing the window, she could vaguely see a section of the eaves on the opposite side.
Chu Qiurong didn't hesitate at all. She unsheathed the Longquan sword and slashed through the wooden board, calling out, "San'er!"
Xu Ziqiao turned around when he heard the voice. Chu Qiurong was already standing on the roof next door, waving at him. The footsteps outside the door were getting closer. He didn't dare to delay and hurried to the window.
Almost at the same time as he jumped out of the windowsill, the door of the low-rise building was kicked open, and the demon guards rushed in, rushed to the window and stared at the two people opposite with a fierce look.
"Chase!"
Chu Qiurong and Xu Ziqiao had both breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, at the command of the other leader, those demon guards immediately began to climb out of the window, and they were actually about to chase them.
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
Chu Qiurong quickly pulled Xu Ziqiao and continued running. The two of them were running quite fast, but being on the rooftop, their route was somewhat restricted. However, the demons were very familiar with the terrain here and were chasing them closely.
Soon, the demon guards on the ground also arrived, attacking them from the front and back, and soon forced the two into a corner.
Surrounded by a large number of demons, Chu Qiurong and Xu Ziqiao resisted with swords in hand, spiritual energy surging around them.
"What should we do?" Holding Chihua in his hand, Xu Ziqiao said in a deep voice.
"What can I do?"
Chu Qiurong raised the corner of her lips with a cold look in her eyes, "Do what you are good at."
