9976. Chapter 9976 Xiao Jie's First Visit to the Underworld 5
If it was before, she would definitely try to sneak into the house, but after knowing the strength of the Demon Emperor, she dared not act rashly. It would be troublesome if she was discovered by the other party. She has now lost two puppets and her strength has been greatly reduced. She is really not sure to face the Demon Emperor alone.
In the middle of the courtyard, the Blood River Cauldron has been moved out and placed in the center. The top cover was opened, and a man covered in blood was thrown directly into it under the escort of several guards. The Demon Emperor stood by and watched quietly. After a while, a subordinate said: "Sir, is it okay?"
The Demon Emperor shook his head and said: "Keep him in there."
Until the sky gradually brightened, the Demon Emperor looked at the night sky that was gradually receding above his head and said: "Open the cauldron."
Hearing this, several guards immediately removed the top cover and looked into the cauldron.
"Sir, that person...that person is gone." A guard said in surprise.
"Don't worry about it." The demon emperor said, "Throw them in one by one, and notify me when it's over." After saying that, he turned and walked into the house.
At the same time, in a wilderness thousands of miles away, Li Mengjie was on the road. Since leaving the small town, she has been heading north, hoping to find a big city and collect some information. Since it was her first time to Huangquan, she was unfamiliar with the environment here. Before that, she found two cities, but unfortunately, those two cities were empty and turned into dead cities.
Although she met some people on the road, they were all ordinary people. They didn't even know who Leng Xuan was, and they couldn't ask for any useful information.
Not long after, a town finally appeared in her sight. From a distance, she saw people coming and going outside the town, and it looked very prosperous. She was secretly happy that she finally found a place where people lived. At the moment, she sped up and rushed over quickly. Not long after, she successfully arrived outside the town.
Seeing her fall from mid-air, the surrounding houses avoided her and looked at her with awe. Li Mengjie took a quick look and saw that they were all ordinary people, so she walked directly into the town. Walking on the wide street, her eyes were immediately attracted.
This was her first time to see the life of the people in Huangquan, which was not much different from the secular world. However, these ordinary people were accustomed to the existence of practitioners, and were not surprised by her appearance, but just remained respectful. If she dared to reveal her identity in the secular world, she didn't know how much of a sensation it would cause.
In her opinion, this was very good, at least she could walk outside openly without having to bother to cover her whereabouts. Walking around and looking around, she had arrived at the center of the town unknowingly. At this moment, her eyes suddenly fell on a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man walked on the road with his back to her, and looked no different from an ordinary person. However, she felt that the other person had a special aura. Because the method she practiced was special, and because of the unique connection between her and the bloodworm, she inherited some of the bloodworm's abilities, and her senses became very sensitive. She was sure that the middle-aged man in front of her was a practitioner like her.
This was the first cultivator she had seen in Huangquan. Maybe he could provide information about Leng Xuan and Ling Xuejiu. She quickened her pace and prepared to catch up.
