Chapter 328: Two Immortals Under the Bridge

In front of the Three Immortals Hall is a spacious courtyard.

The courtyard has green-tiled walls on three sides, and each of the three walls has an archway leading to different directions, with the front one being larger and the side ones smaller.

The retainers rushed over from the main gate.

Their movements were not fast because they were all holding various heavy weapons.

Guandao, long spears, horse-chopping sabers, long-handled battle axes, wolf-tooth clubs... all the weapons were rusty and covered with blood stains with a fishy smell; Wu Xian had no doubt that he would die on the spot if he were hit even once.

As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands.

When Wu Xian and the other saw this scene, they ran toward the archway on the left at the same time; the terrain on the left looked slightly more complex, which was more conducive to shaking off the retainers' pursuit.

"Let you be a crow's mouth, saying that enemies will come in a while!"

"Now we are in trouble!"

Du E bit her lip, her expression gloomy, having no time to refute Wu Xian's nonsense.

Although those retainers didn't move fast, it was also difficult for them to increase their speed; the rain made the ground muddy quickly, and she felt very laborious every time she lifted her foot.

The two ran for a while and felt that this was not a way to go.

Those retainers were shouting while pursuing, and other retainers would be attracted; it wouldn't take long for the two of them to be caught.

Wu Xian turned his eyes twice and had a plan to escape, pointing to the black thin tube in Du E's hand and saying: "Give me this!"

Du E explained while handing it over: "This is a special weapon from the Miao territory, the Witch Gu Blowpipe, which can blow out special gu needles with highly toxic poison; only I can use it to fully exert its effect; if you want to use it, it's just an ordinary blowpipe."

Wu Xian took the Witch Gu Blowpipe, measured the length, and gestured, feeling it was just right.

"Which side is for the mouth to blow?"

"This side..."

The two's communication was carried out while running, and this kind of communication greatly affected speed; just by saying these two sentences, the two were almost caught up by the retainers.

Just at this critical moment, Wu Xian actually stopped, indicating that he wanted to carry Du E on his back.

Du E climbed onto Wu Xian's back nimbly: "Do you have the ability to shake them off? Is it flying or jumping? Give me a heads-up so I can prepare."

"It's sliding!"

Wu Xian took out the Ruyi Telescopic Stick, turned the telescopic stick into the length of a blowpipe, and then held the stick in one hand and the blowpipe in the other, suddenly poking the ground.

Swoosh! Wu Xian and the other two dashed out!

The retainers who were about to catch up to Wu Xian and the other two were suddenly pulled away; the leading retainer threw the flail in his hand in anger, but it only hit the ground behind Wu Xian and the other two.

The Moon Palace Dance Shoes on Wu Xian's feet were like walking on ice in the mud, and the blowpipe and stick acted as ski poles, allowing Wu Xian to adjust his speed and direction while sliding.

"Fortunately, I worked out for a month, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to carry you!"

Du E looked down at the blowpipe; it turned out that Wu Xian asked which end was for the mouth so that the end for the mouth wouldn't directly touch the ground.

Although the speed of the two increased, there were more and more pursuers; every place they slid past would disturb the retainers in that place, and some retainers even had bows and crossbows.

Du E cast spells to interfere several times on Wu Xian's back, which prevented Wu Xian from being shot through by the retainers.

Chasing and fleeing, most of the He Mansion became lively.

After a while.

Wu Xian stopped.

The good news is that the pursuers were shaken off for a distance and couldn't catch up for a while...

The bad news is that they entered a dead end.

It was too late to find another way, and now they only had one choice left.

Du E jumped off Wu Xian's back and quickly took out a white flower from her pocket; this white flower was the 'offering' they obtained by killing the moonlight monster.

"One, two, three... a total of nine petals." "Eat mine first!"

Du E plucked a petal and threw it to Wu Xian, and she also bit one off, chewing fiercely with her eyes closed; the taste of this petal should be very bad, because Du E's small face had become a mask of pain.

Swoosh! Suddenly.

Du E disappeared into thin air.

Wu Xian breathed a sigh of relief and swallowed the petal in his mouth.

Dozens of He Mansion retainers ran over holding ferocious weapons, witnessing the scene of Wu Xian disappearing into thin air; they walked around blankly, their skin soaked by water, and their faces started to swell like paper soaked in water...

"It's raining..."

In a small warehouse of the He Mansion, Li Juxian was bandaging his arm, and Su Xuan stood at the door, carefully opening a crack in the door to observe the outside.

"We can't count on natural moonlight appearing tonight."

"Therefore, there is only one way left to reach that mass grave... eat the petals; those Lotus Juanren said that this white flower has the ability to break the boundaries between yin and yang."

"But just smelling the scent is not enough; this flower can only let us 'see', not let us 'enter'; to enter the other world hidden in the Undying City, I am afraid we have to eat the petals."

Tap, tap tap...

Rapid footsteps came from outside the door, and many retainers ran past holding weapons.

Su Xuan smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "Very good, someone has led the retainers away; before eating the petals, we can go to other places to see."

He opened the door and was about to go out, but found Li Juxian still sitting in the corner, with no intention of getting up.

"Is your injury very heavy?"

Li Juxian didn't answer him, just sitting with a gloomy face; Su Xuan also seemed to understand something, closed the door, and sat down facing Li Juxian.

"Some things can wait until we get out alive."

Li Juxian remained silent; the atmosphere between the two was even more oppressive than the blessed land itself.

After a while.

Li Juxian finally spoke.

"Since entering the blessed land, this is one of the few times we have been alone... The danger tonight will far exceed before; I might die, and you might also die; let's clarify the things we have been avoiding now!"

Su Xuan smiled bitterly.

"You are the homeless Li Juxian, I am the drunkard Su Xuan under the bridge; isn't it good for us to continue rotting like this?"

"Not good, I've had enough!"

Li Juxian shook his head.

"I am Li Xian; three years ago, the extermination case at No. 12593 Jin Yu Residential District, West City District, Fuyuan City was done by me; if you want to take revenge on me, come on, I won't fight back."

Su Xuan looked up at the spider web on the ceiling: "Since when did you know that I am the family member of the victim of that case?"

Li Juxian sighed.

"Since you found me..."

"I saw the group photo of your family at the crime scene, you are the center of the photo, so my memory is very deep."

"I don't understand why you clearly found me but did nothing, just drinking beside me all day, but it's time for this matter to end."

Su Xuan grabbed his head, his expression painful.

"At this time, if only there were wine..."
