Chapter 505: The desolate city

"How is that possible? The lord of the city was knocked away with just one move?"

"Sss... What kind of identity does this person have? He's too strong!"

"Did I see something just now? Am I seeing things?"

"That person is indeed Lord Liu!"

The cultivators on the street were discussing animatedly, and their gazes towards Zhong Kui were filled with fear.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the strongest person in the public eye in Barbarian Willow City was the lord. Of course, there were also some super strong individuals passing through the city. Now, seeing the lord defeated, how could they not panic? Those who were closer quickly retreated, fearing to suffer unjust disaster.

The responsible cultivator of the teleportation gate was also trembling with fear. If he had known, he would not have taken on this business.

Now that the lord was injured, if Liu Ruo Lai were to leave with Qin Jun and the others, he would definitely have no place to survive in Barbarian Willow City. He must escape as soon as possible afterwards.

"Ah! How could you be so ruthless!" Liu Ruo Lai snarled, but Qin Jun held her forehead with one hand, making it impossible for her to reach him.

Liu Ruo Lai was a delicate and pretty type, standing at less than 1.6 meters tall, much shorter than Qin Jun, who was almost 1.8 meters tall.

Qin Jun chuckled, "Don't worry, if Zhong Kui had used his full strength, your father would probably be dead by now!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruo Lai stood still, staring dumbfoundedly at Zhong Kui. Was this burly man really that powerful?

On the other side, the teleportation gate finally activated, and the responsible cultivator said in a trembling voice, "It's done..."

He was on the verge of tears. If only he had rested today, he wouldn't have gotten himself into this mess.

But he couldn't refuse Qin Jun now. Both Zhong Kui and Qin Jun were far stronger than him. Compared to the lord, these two were even more unworthy of provoking.

Qin Jun immediately stepped into the teleportation gate, with Zhong Kui and the cat girl following closely behind. Liu Ruo Lai looked worriedly at her father, then gritted her teeth and turned around.

"I don't want to marry someone I don't like. I want to walk my own path!"

Liu Ruo Lai murmured to herself and stepped into the teleportation gate.

The four of them disappeared in this way, and soon, Lord Liu ran over, clutching his chest, only to find that Qin Jun and the others had vanished without a trace, which made him roar in anger.

The onlookers whispered among themselves, showing no sympathy for him, but rather a lot of gossip.

What they were most curious about was who Zhong Kui really was, to be so powerful!

...

After stepping out of the teleportation gate, Qin Jun and the others felt the surrounding commotion suddenly quiet down.

In front of Qin Jun was the same street formed by teleportation gates, but there were noticeably fewer cultivators coming and going compared to Barbarian Willow City.

Sitting next to the teleportation gate was an old man, his eyes staring blankly at the ground, lost in thought.

The passing cultivators all looked hurried, not engaging in conversation with each other, creating a very eerie atmosphere on the street.

"Could this be a ghost city?" Liu Ruo Lai asked cautiously.

Qin Jun gave her a disdainful look and said impatiently, "If you're scared, you can choose to go back. A girl like you, if caught, will become a plaything for men."

Liu Ruo Lai blushed at his words, but when she thought about what he said, she became even more afraid, especially in the eerie and solemn atmosphere of South Kun City. She had an impulse to turn back.

But when she thought about going back, she knew her father would restrict her even more. It would be even harder for her to leave.

She didn't want to be used as a tool for marriage, and she didn't want to live under someone else's control for the rest of her life.

"Lead the way!" Qin Jun said to the cat girl. Upon hearing this, the cat girl swiftly dashed off. Cat people were naturally fast, and with her Golden Core cultivation, she was extremely agile.

Ignoring Liu Ruo Lai, Qin Jun and Zhong Kui followed closely behind.

Seeing this, Liu Ruo Lai gritted her teeth and hurried to catch up.

The group moved quickly, swiftly passing through the street without any hindrance, thanks to the relatively low flow of people in South Kun City.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they arrived at the city gate.

"Halt! Ten second-tier spirit stones are required to leave the city!"

The city guard blocked their way, his voice stern and not open to refusal.

Qin Jun waved his sleeve, and a strong wind knocked down all the city guards.

The group quickly ran out, and Liu Ruo Lai, who was at the back, was excited. South Kun City was much stronger than Barbarian Willow City. She never expected Qin Jun to dare to force his way out. For her, who was in a rebellious phase, it was definitely stimulating.

"Hey! Wait for me! Don't run so fast!"

Liu Ruo Lai called out, but Qin Jun pretended not to hear and continued running.

He was pondering how to deal with this girl. Should he subdue her and make her a shoulder-rubbing maid?

If Liu Ruolai heard his thoughts, she would definitely be speechless. Want the lady to give you a shoulder rub?

In fact, Nankun City is located in the middle of the endless region. Once out of the city, they entered the wild mountains.

The trees here are extremely tall, making Qin Jun feel as if he had shrunk.

To save time, Qin Jun directly condensed the mist, raised his hands, and with a burst of power, directly pulled the cat girl and Liu Ruolai up.

"Wow! What kind of spell is this?" Liu Ruolai exclaimed in surprise, looking at Qin Jun with admiration.

Qin Jun did not explain to her, but said to the cat girl, "You lead the way."

The cat girl nodded, and following her direction, Qin Jun controlled the mist to fly at high speed through the forest, fortunately the trees were widely spaced, and they did not hit any branches along the way.

"How long has it been since you left Wangxue?" Qin Jun asked in a deep voice, the strong wind blowing his black hair, his expression extremely stern.

In his heart, he cursed Wangyan a thousand times. Why did he send Wangxue to such a distant place for no reason?

"It's been four days," the cat girl answered cautiously. Within the cat clan, everyone knew that the young clan leader would marry the Holy Emperor Qin.

Once Wangxue became the Holy Consort, their cat clan would surely rise in status, but they did not expect such a situation to occur.

Four days!

Qin Jun's face darkened. If Wangxue was really seriously injured, could she endure for four days?

Liu Ruolai seemed to have sensed something. It seemed that the cat people's desire to save the young clan leader was not purely out of goodwill towards Qin Jun.

"Hmph! Men are all the same!" she sneered in her heart, but she had no other feelings. Right now, she just wanted to follow along and broaden her horizons.

She could see that Qin Jun and Zhong Kui must have extraordinary backgrounds, and it would be interesting to follow them.

"Boom!"

Just then, the trees ahead began to shake violently, and dust swept through the gaps between the trees, as if a huge creature was charging towards them.

Qin Jun narrowed his eyes, feeling a terrifying and fierce aura, at least a fifth-rank demon beast.

Encountering a fifth-rank demon beast right after coming out?

No wonder there were so few people in Nankun City. It turns out that it's too dangerous here.

"Stop, don't move forward!" a furious shout came, causing the cat girl and Liu Ruolai to cover their ears.
