Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The few of them had wanted to head out of the city for a look, but realized that the city gates were already closed, it even seemed like there was some restrictive array set up around the city, they could not fly out directly. “Let’s find a place to settle down in before anything else!”

Lonemoon then turned walked towards an inn by the side with the master and disciple duo.

“Are you both having a meal or staying in?” The innkeeper immediately greeted eagerly.

“We’re staying in.” Lonemoon, turning back to glance at Shen Ying, he then added, “And eating. Prepare three premium rooms for us, just send the food up to our rooms.”

“Three rooms?” Wasn’t there two of them? The innkeeper faltered and lifted his head to glance at them, then he spotted Shen Ying in the middle. Not bothered by it, he said even more enthusiastically, “Three premium rooms, that’s a total of 30 pennies for a night, this way, please.” With that, he called for a waiter to bring them towards the rear hall.

Lonemoon followed right away, whereas the master and disciple paused in their steps upon hearing that, tugging at their parent in front, they could not help but ask worriedly, “Father Niu, this is the mortal realm, do we have money?” Now that their spells didn’t work, even spirit stone and immortal stones couldn’t be used.

“Of course!” Lonemoon gave him an eye-roll for him to figure out himself, when did he ever have a lack of money, then explained, “Don’t we still have leftover money that we dug from the poor soul the previous time. ”

“Oh~~~~” Both of them let out a dirt-poor style sigh and raised both their thumbs at him!

Reliable!

Making use of the walk, Lonemoon employed his business instincts and asked the waiter about information of the city. It turned out that where they were at right now was called Wu Ling City, the only town within a radius of a thousand miles, there also weren’t any government officials and the like here. The person in charge was a City Lord with the surname Han. And there were indeed no cultivators here. Immortals were even more, a legend, the waiter directly called it gimmicks used to fool people.

He then asked whether there’d been any odd happenings and what not recently, the waiter also shook his head, replying that he was unaware. Seems like this was a very ordinary mortal city. The more Lonemoon asked, the more confused he got, totally not knowing what that so-called Big Dao Organization was trying to do by leading them here? Amongst the people in the city, no one looked like a Manager.

Seeing that the sky was already dark, they could only settle down for now.

“This place is weird and there are no cultivators, it’s better that we survey the surroundings while it’s dark.” Lonemoon suggested. “That Big Dao Organization definitely has a motive for sending us to such a place.”

He turned towards Yi Qing. “Chef, you go check out the Eastern region, I’ll go to the West, as for Shen Ying…” He paused for a moment. “You stay behind here and sleep.” In case you get lost!

“Alright.”

“Don’t run around again, we might not be able to find you here.” After all it was another plane.

“Don’t worry, all is good!” Pats her chest.

What to do when he’s now even more worried upon hearing her say that? Lonemoon glanced at her uneasily for a moment before standing up, intending to head out. Yet he suddenly sensed a set of light footsteps from outside the door, seeming to be stepping lightly intentionally as the person walked towards the left.

“Someone entered the room next door.” Yi Qing’s brows knitted together. Both the rooms next door were rooms that they had booked, the one on the left was his. They only came to Master’s room together because Father Niu had things to instruct them about.

Spells couldn’t be used here, it was extremely inconvenient as they did not know who the person was. Lonemoon also found it a little odd, just as he was about to step out to take a look, Chef held him back. “He’s here.”

Sure enough, the footsteps moved out of the room next door and headed to their side, it was extremely light, as if the person was walking on tiptoes. A second later a figure appeared on the window, lowered his body, following a soft pop, a small hole was made on the window paper, a thin bamboo tube slipped in, then clouds of white smoke.

Lonemoon: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Shen Ying: “…”

Was this… poisoning?

What amazing luck was this, they’d actually encountered an illegal inn? After seeing so many demons, ghosts and monsters, this was the trio’s first time seeing such pure and unpretentious tricks of killing someone.

They suddenly had the urge to not expose him and cooperate with his show.

Lonemoon sighed, still unable to hold back in the end, he pushed open the door and looked at the figure who was lying on the window sill, blowing smoke into the room with all his might. “Is it fun?”

That person was startled by this person who suddenly appeared, without paying much attention, he choked and inhaled a mouthful of smoke. He instantly launched into a convulsive cough, then his eyes rolled back as he passed out with a thud.

Father Niu who did not do anything: “…”

Stepping forward to take a look, it was as expected, the water who led the way for them earlier. With such mental quality, just where did he find the courage to open an illegal inn.

Yi Qing also walked out, glancing at the person on the ground, his expression darkened. “What do we do with this person?”

“How would I know? I have no experience with such matters too.” Lonemoon also looked helpless. “I’d just walked out and he choked himself and passed out.”

Yi Qing thought for a moment before taking two steps forward, his hands habitually moving to conjure a spell, but he remembered that there was no Spirit Qi here to use spells. Hence, he curled his finger in and hit the most painful acupuncture point on the person.

“Ah!!!” The next second, the waiter cried out loud and sat up like a fake corpse. Rubbing where he was hit, he lifted his head to look at the two people, a trace of confusion flashed through his eyes as he sobered up immediately. “You… You two!” He crawled backwards in a panic, while calling out, “Wang Er, Zhu Si… they…”

“Why are you howling?” Before he’d finished, two more people came running up, broadswords in hand, seeming like they’d been waiting downstairs for a long time. “We told you to be gentler in your actions!”

“It’s… it’s not, they didn’t fall asleep, they’re awake! Awake!” The waiter frantically pointed in their direction, still wearing a flustered expression.

Those two people then looked over, immediately charging over with ferocious looks after pausing for a moment. “We’ll send them on their way all the same.” With that said, they raised their swords in their hands and struck.

This strike was very ordinary, nothing technical about it, it was just a regular hack. Being a long time since he last saw such ordinary moves, even Lonemoon found it entrancing as he instinctively moved to grab the blade, but accidentally used too much force. With a crack, that sharp blade was crushed by him.

The person holding the sword paled, looking at his broken sword with disbelief. Coming to the realization that their plan had backfired, he turned and tried to run. Lonemoon did not say anything more and knocked him out directly. On the other side, Chef had also settled the other ruffian.

The waiter who’d just came too earlier was rather sensible. He fell to his knees with a thud. “Heroes, have mercy! I won’t dare to do it again, never again!” With that, he started to kowtow.
