Regardless of whether it was Ma Chuang or that woman, they both belonged to the 'external personnel' of Evil Cloud Pavilion.
Such people only do their job, then turn people into money.
As someone from another channel, they would not show their true face or real name. Therefore, even if you caught an external person, you couldn't trace them further.
After a brief understanding, Zhou You couldn't help but marvel at these guys.
It was just human trafficking, yet they made it so convoluted.
The main point was to ensure you could never find them.
If you couldn't find the people, that also meant you couldn't discover the whereabouts of the Blood Crystal Mine.
But fortunately, the woman accidentally saw the other party's identity token, which provided a clue.
With the matter settled, what they needed to do now was rush to Xiliang City.
Zhou You pondered for a moment, "I'll trust you for now, but taking two people with me is not convenient for me."
Ma Chuang said anxiously, "Young Master, can you let me go? I'm a cripple now, useless to you."
Zhou You smiled as he looked at him, "What happens if a person loses their value?"
Ma Chuang's heart trembled, his lips quivered, and he couldn't speak.
"How about this?"
Zhou You said, "I've always been quite soft-hearted, and fighting and killing isn't my style. You two discuss who stays and who doesn't?"
Ma Chuang quickly said, "Keep me. Once my leg heals, I can still do heavy labor. I'm definitely valuable."
The woman raged, "Ma, are you still a man? A man should protect women and sacrifice himself for them. But now, you're actually going to let me die right before your eyes?"
Ma Chuang retorted, "I supported you for so many years. When you were out with gigolos, did I say anything? You've eaten what you should eat, enjoyed what you should enjoy, can't you let me live for myself just once?"
The woman shrieked angrily, "I'm just asking you, are you still a man?!"
Ma Chuang's face turned red and his neck thickened, "If it weren't for your extravagance all these years, would I have resorted to this kind of business? You didn't want a simple, plain life; you insisted on living your so-called luxurious life."
The woman spat, "If you didn't have the ability, you shouldn't have agreed back then. You agreed and then regretted it, and now you're bringing it up. You're truly not a man!"
Ma Chuang's teeth ground audibly, and he ultimately chose silence.
The woman looked disgusted, "You spineless, stinking man. If it weren't for the fact that you're still obedient, would I have let you on top? Useless."
Ma Chuang let out a long breath, then suddenly pounced on Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing instinctively swung his short sword, instantly piercing his heart.
Ma Chuang stumbled backward, his chest stained red with blood, his eyes filled with self-mockery, "I've lived a muddled life, but now I understand. A scoundrel like me truly doesn't deserve to live."
Zhou You softly said, "Could you please go outside to die?"
Ma Chuang nodded, supported himself against the wall, exited the door, stood on the street, and then fell to the ground with a thud.
Blood spread beneath him, staining the street red.
Passersby remained expressionless, merely casting a cold glance.
The woman spat, "At least he had some conscience."
Zhou You stood up, "Alright, we should depart now."
The woman hurriedly stood up, "I'll be very obedient, as long as you spare my life then. Don't worry, when we meet them, even though they're masked, I remember their figures very clearly. For men, I just need to smell them to confirm if it's them."
Zhou You said nothing, merely walked out the door.
Old Dog walked in front of the woman, quickly raised his right foot, and directly kicked her knee, shattering it. "Then you'll have to suffer a bit first; your man went through the same thing."
The woman screamed in pain, drenched in cold sweat.
"Boom!"
As soon as they stepped out, they heard a loud bang.
Outside Ye City, the air currents surged, creating a powerful momentum.
"You Human Race have arbitrarily broken the rules and entered Xijue City to kill my people."
"If you hand them over obediently, then so be it. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
A wolf floated in the air, every strand of its fur appearing as if soaked in blood.
The only strange thing about this wolf was that it had a fox tail.
In front of it, Dan Tianling looked on with cold eyes, showing no fear whatsoever. "Stop spouting nonsense. There is no one in Ye City capable of slaughtering Xijue City, nor is there anyone you seek."
His voice was grand and full of confidence.
However, these words also made Old Dog and Xiao Jing instinctively look at Zhou You.
They might not know about other matters, but they were very clear that the Xijue City incident was related to Zhou You.
Who would have thought that after eliminating a sixth-grade Wolf King, an eighth-grade Wolf King would appear!
The Blood Shadow Wolf King roared and howled, its might greatly increased.
Dan Tianling remained fearless, not even summoning his Blood Spirit. "Don't forget, I am a Demon Subduing Master, a Earth Robe Demon Subduing Master. Are you sure you want to make a move?"
The Blood Shadow Wolf King's eyes were ferocious, and it bared its fangs, letting out a low growl.
Dan Tianling said again, "Furthermore, your actions this time are merely your own arbitrary decision. There are no Yao Beasts attacking from other directions. If you wish, I can satisfy you; I can now mobilize all the people from the two nearest cities to play with you. By then, I will also completely exterminate all the clansmen you've gathered this time!"
Facing these words, the Blood Shadow Wolf King's eyes narrowed slightly.
This time, it was indeed its own idea, unrelated to other directions.
If it acted rashly...
However, it also didn't understand why.
Why would a Demon Subduing Master of this level suddenly come to Ye City?
According to its own wishes, it would have forcibly attacked Ye City and feasted.
After so many years of conflict, there were many unwritten rules that many people were unaware of.
To maintain a certain false balance, the higher-ups of the Human Race had already made some agreements with the Yao Race.
Dan Tianling took out his identity token and shouted loudly, "Retreat!"
The eighth-grade Blood Shadow Wolf King bared its fangs, took a step forward, but still retreated.
With this token, Dan Tianling could notify all nearby Demon Subduing Masters in the shortest amount of time!
Those were true Demon Subduing Masters, completely different from those who merely held a transit token.
The Demon Subduing Master's greatest skill was killing Yao!
Old Dog gasped, "Is this a Tian Yuan Realm Demon Subduing Master? This courage, this imposing manner, this strength is truly unmatched."
Xiao Jing's eyes were full of longing, "So powerful."
Zhou You, however, was unimpressed. As long as the opponent didn't dodge or block, he felt he could completely kill him with one sword.
If he risked injury, it wasn't impossible to also deal with the eighth-grade Blood Shadow Wolf King.
But just thinking about getting injured, Zhou You couldn't help but frown; he disliked that feeling very much.
"What a load of nonsense."
Suddenly, a black shadow rapidly approached. Just as the eighth-grade Blood Shadow Wolf King was about to leave, a blade shadow fell from the sky, seemingly tearing through the firmament.
As the blade fell, the eighth-grade Wolf King was instantly slain!
