Time goes back to the moment when Jiang Wang and Zhao Rucheng separated.
Jiang Wang had walked on the road to Mingde Hall countless times. In particular, he is familiar with all the food on this road, both good and bad.
This is Maplewood City, where he has lived and practiced Taoism for several years. When he walks in this city, he feels a sense of calmness and peace of mind that is hard to find elsewhere.
Because he was so relaxed, when the figure bumped into him, he couldn't even dodge it.
No, maybe he tried his best to dodge, but still got hit.
This collision gave people a very weird feeling, because they were not pushed away from each other by the impact force under normal circumstances, and then because of their different bottom piles, they were either knocked down or remained motionless.
Instead, they were stuck together.
In other words, what this collision produced seemed to be suction, not repulsion.
This is so weird!
Jiang Wang looked at the man in black robe who was standing close to him, and his hair stood up inexplicably.
He had a strong intuition that this guy was extremely terrifying and that he was no match.
The difference in strength was so great that if he wanted to escape by virtue of his identity as a disciple of Maplewood City Taoist Academy and warn him, the other party could definitely kill him and then leave calmly.
"It looks like he's that guy's junior brother..." The man in black robe leaned close to Jiang Wang's ear and said, "Can I stay at your house for a few days?"
Jiang Wang nodded stiffly.
"Very good." The man in black robe distanced himself, allowing Jiang Wang to see his face hidden by his hood. The face was rough and arrogant, with a sense of natural ferocity, "You are a smart man, you should know whether Do stupid things.”
Only then did Jiang Wang notice that the hooded black robe this guy was wearing was very similar to the black robe worn by the fat man in Sanshan City. Also, this is a bald head.
Without much time to think, the bald man's eyes were dangerous.
First of all, Jiang Wang was sure that he would never take this dangerous guy home. Neither Zhao Rucheng nor Ling He can help themselves, they will only be harmed by themselves. Not to mention An An at home.
"But... I live in the Taoist dormitory." Jiang Wang swallowed and did not hide his fear: "I am an inner disciple."
"Well, the pulse has been opened, but the foundation has not been laid yet. To be honest, this is the beginning of a good cooperation." The bald man turned around with seeming satisfaction, put his arm on Jiang Wang's shoulder, and walked alongside him: "But I believe you have a way. Is it right?"
On the street, people were coming and going, but no one noticed anything strange about them.
In other words, Jiang Wang had to work harder to show that there was nothing unusual in order to avoid being killed immediately.
Jiang Wang's heartbeat was racing.
First of all, "that guy's junior brother." Who is "that guy" in the bald man's mouth?
Combined with this bald head, he wears the same style of black robe as that of the fat man in Sanshan City.
Jiang Wang had a bold guess - could it be Zhu Weiwo?
Then the identity of this bald man is about to be revealed, the heart-devouring demon, Xiong asked!
During this period of time, Zhu Weiwo had been chasing Xiong Wen, and for this reason he also missed the Three Cities Discussion. Unexpectedly, Xiong Wen was so bold that he actually sneaked into Maplewood City to play tricks under the lights.
This is a sixth-grade Soaring Dragon Realm cultivator who has opened the door to heaven and earth.
Even if he possesses the two secret techniques of Four Spirits Body Refining Technique and Purple Qi Donglai Sword Technique, it is impossible to defeat this person by leaping three levels.
"There should be a way...but I have to think about it...can I think about it?" Jiang Wang was not the kind of genius who could calculate every step of the way. He tried to delay a little time.
"Okay. But don't take too long. Because I'm not very patient." The bald man was very tolerant and patted Jiang Wang on the shoulder.
The two of them just walked forward with their arms around each other, like a pair of close friends.
Jiang Wang continued his analysis.
The day before yesterday was the Three Cities Discussion Conference, and he was aware of the conflict hidden behind the conference. He did not delve into matters that had nothing to do with him, but Zhao Rucheng casually said that it seemed to be Wei Quji's revenge for the Xiaolin Town tragedy.
Now that I think about it, the only thing that is certain is that the security in the city must have been very tight during those two days, but this bald man did not leak any news, which shows that he is good at concealing his whereabouts.
So what was the reason for him to appear on the street and find a random person to find a new hiding place?
There is only one explanation, and that is that his previous hiding place has been exposed. In other words, Zhu Weiwo has noticed that he is hiding in Maplewood City!
Perhaps this is where the hope lies...
But obviously, if the bald man was really Xiong Wen, he would also notice this.
So instead, he must not leave anything to remind Zhu Weiwo. Playing tricks under the eyes of a Soaring Dragon Realm monk is undoubtedly courting death.
Jiang Wang continued to think about where to go next.
He didn't dare to go in the direction of the city lord's palace, nor did he dare to go to the Taoist courtyard. There is no doubt that both of those places are life savers. But this bald man is no fool.
What can be done?
He must not use his own strength to speculate on the strength of Soaring Dragon Realm monks. From the previous three-city discussion, he had already seen Lin Zhengren's combat prowess. This Xiong Wen was definitely neither strong nor weak.
Ideas appeared one by one and were rejected one by one.
It was a mess, and he was almost desperate, but he couldn't despair.
He suddenly thought that he did not pick up An An today. Will An An go home by herself? Will she be afraid?
Then he thought of the little girl named Qingzhi and the unfathomable old man named Gui.
perhaps……
He quickly abandoned these thoughts. There was no way he would bring danger to Jiang Anan.
But thinking of An An, he gained strength.
"I have a friend..." Jiang Wang said with difficulty: "But I can't take you directly to where he lives now. I can't harm him."
The bald man looked interested: "Then what?"
"He has a courtyard in the clan. He hasn't lived in it for a long time. It's very quiet. No one will disturb him." Jiang Wang carefully added: "But the problem is that his family is relatively strong. If we are not careful, maybe It’s a bit troublesome.”
"Oh? How strong?" There was a trace of contempt in the bald man's voice that needed no concealment. It is indeed impossible for the local families in Maplewood City to put them in his eyes.
"It's the Fang family, one of the three major surnames in the local area. It may have some extraordinary power. I don't know the specific situation."
The friend Jiang Wang was talking about was naturally Fang Pengju. Looking at the entire Maplewood City, within Jiang Wang's known range, apart from the City Lord's Mansion and the Taoist Academy, the only ones that could cause trouble to the Heart-Eating Demon were the three major surnames.
Among them, he had no enmity with the Zhang family and the Wang family, but Fang Pengju had a murderous grudge against him, and Fang Heling had been entangled with him. Last time he fell out with Fang Zehou...
The most important point is that among the three major surnames, he is indeed only familiar with the Fang family, and has only been to the Fang family's clan.
In the small courtyard on the Fang family's property that he described, Fang Pengju once drank wine with him and talked with him at night by holding a candle.
Now, it depends on whether the bald man agrees with this choice.
Regarding his own safety, the bald man thought for a moment and then said: "Lead the way."
Jiang Wang felt relieved.
Passed the first level!
