Li Rui didn't want to waste too much time talking to him. Taking advantage of the fact that Shop Owner hadn't called anyone yet, in the blink of an eye, the person had already fallen to the ground.
He didn't even expect that after coming out for so long, the number of souls in his hands had already exceeded ten. It truly echoed the saying: "In the rivers and lakes, who can avoid getting hurt?"
Soon, both of them spent a confused night, and Hai Buliang had already gotten up.
"Should we Disguise ourselves? It seems like there are many things to do in this situation," he suggested.
Li Rui nodded repeatedly. It seemed like many people were looking for them, so they had to change their appearance; otherwise, trouble would surely follow.
"Hahaha! You've turned into a big Flower Cat! It's hilarious," Mo Ruxi laughed.
Li Rui frowned. Wasn't it just a little ugly? Besides, he didn't know how to Disguise, so he just needed to wrap himself up simply.
Mo Ruxi tidied up her appearance and tied her hair up, looking several years younger. However, she still couldn't hide her stunning beauty.
"This is really a disaster for the country and the people!" Li Rui murmured.
"You can't say it's a disaster for the country and the people. You've taken me in; what else can I do?" Little did they know was overheard by Mo Ruxi, who laughed.
Li Rui smiled awkwardly. The two of them playfully left the Inn. The journey was quite smooth; it seemed that this Disguise was very effective, allowing them to avoid many prying eyes.
According to the map, State City was still some distance away from Li Rui, so they had to quicken their pace. The city ahead didn't seem to have appeared in Li Rui's "memory map."
"It wouldn't be a ghost town, would it?"
"What are you talking about? If you're upright, you don't have to fear shadows!"
As the two approached the city, they saw two paintings posted on the city wall, vividly lifelike, and their appearances were quite similar.
Li Rui felt a bit frustrated. Why did Mo Ruxi paint herself so beautifully but not make herself look more handsome? It was truly exasperating.
Above the paintings were two rewards: capturing someone alive would earn them the Elixir of Longevity and an impressive martial arts technique, while bringing back a head would only yield a set of techniques.
For someone from the Divine Transformation Realm, a set of techniques could be worth a fortune! Even Li Rui didn’t know that the most powerful ability of the Ancestral Patriarch of the Wang Family was not fighting but Alchemy!
With this Alchemy, perhaps hundreds of lives would be willing to serve him.
Li Rui learned this information from the Street Market in the Surroundings and felt fortunate that he hadn’t exposed himself; otherwise, things could have gotten troublesome.
Ultimately, it was a matter of strength. If one were powerful enough, would they still have to endure such a life on the run? It was truly hard to understand!
“Let’s enter the city first! We need to hurry to State City to obtain a document before we can leave Fuan Prefecture, and only then can we reach Falling Blossom Kingdom!”
Mo Ruxi nodded in confusion, looking as if it were quite troublesome.
“What are you two doing? Where did you come from and where are you going?” The guard at the gate looked at Li Rui with a frown, feeling an inexplicable sensation in his heart.
“Uh, big brother, my home is in Luozhou. We must get to State City from here. My mother is seriously ill, and I need to go back.”
The guard stroked his chin, unsure of what he was thinking but vaguely sensing that Li Rui and Mo Ruxi were not ordinary.
Little did they know that in the next moment, a voice shouted “Take them away,” leaving Li Rui and Mo Ruxi stunned in place.
Mo Ruxi was already prepared to act, while Li Rui repeatedly tugged at Mo Ruxi's right arm! His eyes conveyed a hint of meaning, wanting her not to act rashly; it wasn’t time for that yet.
What puzzled Li Rui was that the Guard came alone, and he led Li Rui and his companions to a secluded place.
"You're doing quite well! Quite impressive, really, turning the Royal Family upside down. Even I feel inferior, especially after you incapacitated the left hand of the Ancestral Patriarch of the Wang Family. How did you become so formidable, Li Rui? Your Alchemy is remarkable, and your strength is equally so," he couldn't help but exclaim.
Li Rui felt a bit confused; why did this Guard seem so familiar with him, while he couldn't recall who this person was?
"Who are you? You don't seem like someone who came to capture me!"
"You really have a poor memory! Do you remember that year at Danhui, when someone took out an Elixir for you in the Arena?"
Li Rui had a vague recollection of that event, but the person in front of him seemed unfamiliar.
"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you!"
"He is my boss; I was right beside him at that time!"
This...
Li Rui hadn't paid much attention to it, but he never expected there would be so many people who knew him. It was indeed a bit awkward.
"With this thing in your hand, it can only help you this much."
"Why do you want to help me?" Li Rui asked, looking at the document in his hand, his heart suddenly racing.
"Perhaps it's because I see your extraordinary potential! With this document, you can avoid a lot of trouble along the way. Just consider me a friend from now on."
Li Rui nodded slightly, never expecting to encounter an acquaintance here. Moreover, to receive such a greeting upon their first meeting was truly...
"Let's hurry up! I still have things to do. Just a reminder, be careful, there are a group of people who know your whereabouts."
Li Rui slightly nodded, clasping his hands in a gesture of farewell.
"I didn't expect your friend to be so reliable, making a move like that."
Li Rui smiled awkwardly. It was surprising that someone he had just met would give him such useful information. He didn't even need to go to State City anymore. He had just entered through the South Gate; if he left through the North Gate and circled around Songjiang, he might reach Falling Blossom Kingdom soon. Then, taking out the travel documents would resolve most of the issues.
Moreover, he wouldn't have to go through all those unnecessary troubles.
The weight in Li Rui's heart suddenly lifted, but the pressure was still immense. Realms of the True Person! It was truly a very difficult level to reach. But it was just Cleansing the Marrow to the Seventh Layer, sigh!
"There's no need to sigh. I have great faith in you! If you can't achieve it, we can always storm in and take it back."
Mo Ruxi seemed very lighthearted, though her words carried a slight pause. It was understandable; which woman would want to share a man with someone else?
