Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

After Xu Yeyu said goodbye to the two people from Qingcheng Sect, he brought Xia Xiaomo and Xiao Hong to the snack street in Baizhu County.

This was something he specifically investigated after coming to Baizhu County. There is a street in this county town that specializes in selling snacks at night.

The snack street is brightly lit, illuminating the entire street. The vendors are busy setting up their stalls, preparing for a day's feast.

The fragrance filled the air, attracting many diners.

The three of them walked into a noodle shop, and the waiter quickly came over and asked, "What would you three like to order?"

Xu Yeyu glanced at the menu: "I want a bowl of beef noodles and a fried chicken, with more beef."

He looked at Xia Xiaomo and Xiao Hong: "Order whatever you want, this meal is on me, eat as much as you want!"

Xia Xiaomo ordered a bowl of beef lo mein and some grilled skewers. She liked the taste of noodles, especially lo mein, which has more soup and tastes smoother and more tender.

Xiao Hong smiled and said to the waiter at the noodle shop: "I want a bowl of beef noodles, no beef, thank you!"

The waiter was obviously stunned and asked, "Do we have this kind of noodles in this noodle shop?"

Beef noodles without beef?

The waiter thought for a moment and asked uncertainly, "My dear, do you want vegetarian noodles?"

Xiao Hong touched the back of her head awkwardly and nodded: "Yes, so this is called plain noodles?"

In the past, when she went out to eat, the sisters in the brothel or the proprietress would order food for her, and she didn’t even know the names of some of the dishes.

Xia Xiaomo couldn't help but reveal a smile, but she immediately suppressed it. It seemed impolite for a little girl to smile like that.

She turned her head to look at Xu Yeyu and found that his expression was a little strange.

They were all thinking that this little demon was not very smart and seemed a bit silly.

......

......

Ye Lu had just received some silver from the master in the county town, and he stretched himself.

When mortals entrust them to go down the mountain to catch monsters, the Qingcheng Sect always only charges silver. The specific amount of silver depends on the identity of the client.

If ordinary people were commissioned to go down the mountain to catch monsters, they would only charge a few taels of silver, but if it was someone like a county lord, they would charge more.

Ye Lu didn't even have to ask for the silver. The county magistrate directly gave him fifty taels of silver. This amount of money was much more than what he earned as a fortune teller.

The reward for this monster catching commission is very high, and Ye Lu is preparing to go back to the inn to call Fatty Lai to go to the snack street for a big meal.

Ye Lu narrowed his eyes, and he suddenly realized that someone was watching him secretly.

He walked towards a secluded alley, into a dark corner, waiting for the stalker to appear.

The cold wind blew, chilling me to the bone. The broken graffiti on the wall reflected a faint light, and a blurry figure appeared in the distance.

Ye Lu looked at the man in front of her vigilantly. His figure gradually became clear. His face was thin, his skin was pale, and he exuded a cold aura.

The man in black robe looked around and did not see anyone else. He did not intend to alert the enemy and attract other monks.

"You knew someone was following you, but you still walked into this deserted alley. You seem very confident."

The man in black robe drew out his dagger, and his cold eyes revealed his bloodthirstiness and cruelty.

"If you hand over the Demon Suppression Tower obediently, I can spare your life."

Ye Lu took out a short sword.

"How could the Qingcheng Sect's Demon-Suppressing Tower be in the hands of a Foundation Establishment disciple like me? Do you think it's possible?" he asked in return.

The Demon-Suppressing Tower is the treasure of the Qingcheng Sect. From the former Qingcheng Sect to the present Qingcheng Sect, it has always been held by successive leaders.

One held a knife and the other held a sword.

The two men quickly fought each other, swords flashing and sabers flying, twisting and turning.

After a few moves, the dagger in Ye Lu's hand was knocked away and finally inserted into the wall beside the street. The hilt was trembling and the sword body was flashing a faint light.

The man in black robe pointed his short knife at Ye Lu and sneered, "If you have this much strength, you will die here tonight."

Ye Lu wasn't nervous at all, which made the man in black robe a little confused.

Without his sword, a swordsman's strength will drop significantly. Why does this person in front of me not look nervous at all?

"In fact, I don't know how to use a sword. This sword was only used for self-defense before I became a cultivator. You also know that the most common cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation are sword cultivators. If you carry a sword with you, others will think you are a sword cultivator."

Ye Lu pinched the magic seal in his hands, and as the magic seal in his hands changed, a faint blue light quickly spread from his fingertips.

His hands slowly slid downwards from the air, and dozens of complex array patterns appeared under Ye Lu's feet. Eight runes surrounded the outer periphery of the array, two of which flashed a deep white light.

In the center of the formation, one is black and the other is white, distinct and equal.

The moonlight penetrated the clouds and shone on the ground, and the symbols in the formation shone with a faint light.

Ye Lu withdrew her hand and stood in the center of the formation.

The disciple of Qingcheng Sect in front of him actually performed the Bagua Formation, which surprised the man in black robe.

"You actually know the Bagua formation!"

The Bagua Formation is one of the Qingcheng Sect's unique skills. I heard that nowadays only the Sect Leader of the Qingcheng Sect can use the Bagua Formation.

From the Qingcheng Sect to the current Qingcheng School, in the hundreds of years of history, only four people have learned the Bagua Formation, and now the fifth person has appeared.

The man in black robe didn't expect that this disciple of the Qingcheng Sect was a rare genius in hundreds of years. If he had known it earlier, he would definitely call one more person to come and grab the Demon Suppressing Tower.

More than ten years ago, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, who had reached the fourth level of the Golden Core Realm, single-handedly dealt with three cultivators of the same level.

Ye Lu twisted her muscles and asked, "Who sent you?"

He felt that he was very lucky this time. He had just learned the Bagua Formation not long ago, and he could only randomly activate two of the eight runes in the formation. The runes he activated this time were Gen and Kan, representing mountains and water. They would gradually restore the true Qi in his body, making him suitable for a protracted battle.

The core of the Bagua formation is the application of yin and yang balance and the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements. Each part of the formation represents a different attribute of the Bagua.

Qian represents heaven, Kun represents earth, Zhen represents thunder, Xun represents wind, Kan represents water, Li represents fire, Gen represents mountain, and Dui represents marsh.

If the two runes that were randomly activated were mutually exclusive, then he would have no choice but to run away.

Fortunately, today is a good omen.

The man in black robe did not answer Ye Lu's question. He understood that villains die because they talk too much.

The alley was filled with silence, with only the sound of the breeze blowing. The moonlight fell on the quiet street, illuminating a deep blue halo.

The man in black robe raised the dagger in his hand high and swung it towards Ye Lu.

Ye Lu concentrated her mind and gathered her energy, feeling the flow of spiritual energy around her and gathering it between her fingertips.

A drop of blue water appeared on his fingertips, and the blue water droplets splashed from his fingertips one after another. The water droplets condensed into a flowing water curtain in the air, like a blue barrier.

The water curtain collided with the knife, making a slight collision sound and stirring up waves. The short knife penetrated the water curtain like stabbing into a ball of cotton, removing the force.

Ye Lu condensed a water droplet on her fingertips, then she flicked her finger, and the droplet shot out and hit the water curtain, causing waves to appear in the calm water curtain.

The man in black robe first felt that his own strength was taken away. As the water droplets entered the curtain, the knife in his hand was sucked into the water curtain by an invisible force as if dragged into a whirlpool.

He made a prompt decision and dropped the weapon in his hand.
