210 Courting Death (2)
Luo Yanyue’s pretty face was pale, and her clothes were in a mess. She revealed a large patch of fair skin and asked pitifully, “You don’t recognize me?”
Jiang Ming took note of this. Now that he was in a different disguise, it seemed that Luo Yanyue’s method could only track the target she had left her scent on. However, she could not see through the other party’s true identity.
“It seems like she has left her scent on many people.” Jiang Ming was speechless. What disgusting behavior!
Even if she was pretty, it still made Jiang Ming feel nauseated.
However, Luo Yanyue’s aura was at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, which surprised Jiang Ming. He could not see through her true cultivation level back at Xiaoqian Mountain.
Seeing that Luo Yanyue still wanted to move forward, Jiang Ming did not hesitate any longer. He immediately whipped out the Scarlet Separation Sword, which turned into a streak of scarlet light and shot at Luo Yanyue’s neck.
Luo Yanyue’s expression also changed. She had not expected this man to be so heartless as to attack her directly.
She took out a diamond-shaped green shield, which collided with the Scarlet Separation Sword and blocked the attack.
“Fellow cultivator, you’re too cruel!” Luo Yanyue’s tone was sorrowful. However, her eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness. She was trying to guess who this person in front of her was.
She had a pitiful expression on her face. However, she was secretly sizing up Jiang Ming, guessing how rich he was.
At this moment, a few figures finally caught up from behind. They descended from the sky and surrounded Luo Yanyue.
The uniforms they were wearing were quite familiar to Jiang Ming. They were all cultivators of Xiaoqian Mountain’s law enforcement team.
“Thank you for your help, fellow cultivator! Stop this person!” The leader of the group was tall and had a valiant aura. She cupped her hands toward Jiang Ming and smiled.
Jiang Ming nodded slightly. However, his eyes narrowed. He did not expect to meet an acquaintance here.
This figure was He Xiaowan, the female cultivator who had joined the Plant Hall before the first round of chaos in Xiaoqian Mountain.
After that, He Xiaowan joined the law-enforcement team. After a few decades, she had reached the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm, and she became a minor team leader of the law enforcement team. However, she had not broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. It was said that she was waiting for the opportunity in the Black Rock Ruins.
“I wonder what crime this woman has committed that made the law enforcement team chase after her for thousands of miles?” Jiang Ming chuckled. “I just ran into her on the mountain. She’s just an ordinary female cultivator.”
He Xiaowan glared at Luo Yanyue coldly. “Fellow cultivator, you’re wrong. This woman is not an ordinary female cultivator. She’s a member of the Divine Eye Sect. Many cultivators of the Divine Eye Sect have sneaked into Xiaoqian Mountain and committed many crimes.”
Jiang Ming was also stunned. He did not expect Luo Yanyue to have such an identity.
He had long heard of the Divine Eye Sect. They had participated in the previous chaos at Xiaoqian Mountain. They had taken over the Pillfire Hall and slaughtered many innocent cultivators. They were a sect with an extremely bad reputation in the Feather Kingdom.
“It’s all thanks to Mr. Wu that we were able to discover Luo Yanyue’s true identity. However, this woman is extremely slippery,” He Xiaowan said. “We were just about to catch her when she escaped!”
Jiang Ming glanced at the man beside He Xiaowan. He was a middle-aged man with a rough face. His aura was no weaker than He Xiaowan’s. At this time, he nodded at Jiang Ming with a smile.
For some reason, Jiang Ming felt that something was wrong. He immediately smiled and said, “In that case, I won’t get in the way of the law enforcement team.”
He was about to leave.
“Fellow cultivator, please wait!”
The burly man, Mr. Wu, suddenly spoke as he raised the two green-gold batons in his hands. “This woman seemed to have asked you for help earlier. Are you two connected? Regardless, please don’t leave and cooperate with our investigation.”
Jiang Ming’s eyes darkened. “You’re a little too arbitrary. There’s no evidence to suggest I’m with her.”
“Mr. Wu, there’s no need for that. This cultivator clearly has nothing to do with Luo Yanyue.” He Xiaowan frowned.
“That might not be the case!” Mr. Wu’s eyes were cold and sharp. “The law enforcement team naturally has to be thorough. I’m sorry, fellow cultivator!”
As he spoke, Mr. Wu walked toward the mountain where Jiang Ming was standing and said in a deep voice, “Please cooperate with us, fellow cultivator. If you are proven innocent after this, the law enforcement team will definitely apologize to you in person and offer you generous gifts!”
His words were open and calm. However, Jiang Ming felt that something was wrong.
“There’s no need for such a generous gift, goodbye!” Jiang Ming made a prompt decision, jumped up, and was about to escape without looking back.
“Stop!” Mr. Wu’s eyes finally revealed his killing intent. His aura burst out and he rushed toward Jiang Ming.
He took out the two long green gold batons in his hands and swung them toward Jiang Ming with great force. However, he did not look like he was trying to stop Jiang Ming from leaving. Instead, he looked like he was trying to kill Jiang Ming.
“It’s not easy for me to go down the mountain and meet a sitting duck. It’s unreasonable not to kill it.” Mr. Wu sneered internally.
It did not matter if he was a ninth-stage Qi Refinement Realm cultivator. He was just an individual cultivator. From the speed of his previous escape light, he seemed to be cultivating an ordinary technique and was not very strong.
