Chapter 1399: Chapter 700: Fenglin City (1)
Chapter 700
Three Days Later
Mo Jiuli, with Yun following the Monster, arrived at Fenglin City, the city closest to the Death Forest. Even though Fenglin City was the nearest, it was still a journey of four to five days away…
When Mo Jiuli and her group reached the outskirts of the city, it was just evening. They saw the city gate was firmly closed, and Mo Jiuli’s gaze flickered…
“Master, it looks like you were right. It seems Fenglin City is indeed forbidding entry!” Yun said with a frown.
“Let’s wait until it gets dark before we go in!” Mo Jiuli said.
Only when the moon rose to the tree branches did Mo Jiuli bring out Qiuqiu, who sensibly spat out two bubbles toward Yun and the Monster; in an instant, the figures of the two humans and the beast vanished without a trace…
Coming to the city gate, Mo Jiuli glanced at Yun and said, “We’ll fly in!”
Yun transformed back into her true form, and Mo Jiuli sat down upon Yun’s true form. She looked at the Monster, who hadn’t moved yet, and asked, “Don’t you want to go in?”
“I don’t like Humans, except for you guys!” the Monster said truthfully.
“Then you can go back, or wait for us outside the city until we come out,” Mo Jiuli suggested after some thought.
“I’ll wait for you guys in that forest over there. When you come out, I’ll be able to sense it!” the Monster said.
“Alright, Yun, let’s go!” Mo Jiuli nodded.
Yun spread her wings and flew directly into the air, flying over the city gate. The Monster watched Mo Jiuli and Yun disappear from sight, then turned and headed back to the forest outside the city…
After Mo Jiuli and Yun entered the city, they landed, and Yun also transformed back into her true form. Since they were invisible, no one could see the two of them…
Although it was deep into the night, in Fenglin City, some restaurants and other places still had their lights on, with people wandering among them. Occasionally, a few pedestrians would also pass by on the Main street…
However, Mo Jiuli could still distinctly smell a faint Bloody Smell in the air of the city, along with a subtle fragrance…
Mo Jiuli’s eyes flickered slightly, and she led Yun into a Restaurant that was still open. They found a deserted spot to sit down…
Inside the main hall of the Restaurant, there were still quite a few patrons, as there was a stage performance in the middle of the hall, which explained why so many people were gathered here to drink wine so late into the night…
“Alas, I don’t know what’s going on recently. Every midnight, terrifying noises come from the city, keeping me awake for several days now!”
“Exactly! Even though we Cultivation practitioners are not much affected by sleep, the creepy sounds every midnight prevent us from focusing on Cultivation. It’s so irritating…” another added.
“That’s right. I wonder how the investigation of the City Lord’s Mansion is going?”
At this moment, not far from where Mo Jiuli and they were seated, at a Table two Tables away, three middle-aged men were seated, each looking rather troubled as they spoke.
“Don’t put too much hope into the City Lord’s Mansion. Unless the Supreme Elder of the City Lord’s Mansion takes action, even those Minister Elders are scared half to death. How could they find out anything?” an old man at another Table remarked.
“But what can we do if this continues? Do we really have to leave this place?” someone asked.
“If you wish to leave, you would have to leave the Death Sea Domain completely! I heard today that the same incidents have occurred in several surrounding cities. Many who have fled to neighbouring cities can’t even make it back here!” another person said helplessly.
“Why? Why can’t they come back?” someone inquired.
