"If you discover any unfamiliar faces, you must inform the city guards immediately. Do you understand?" a soldier in golden armor said loudly.
"Don't worry, General. As soon as I see a stranger appear, I will shout immediately." A first-rank martial artist who looked to be in his thirties nodded and bowed with a smile on his face.
"Let's go. There's no problem with this one. Check the next one!" The general waved his hand and led a large group of soldiers into the next house.
The middle-aged first-rank martial artist stood at the door with his back hunched. He waited until the large group of soldiers searched the entire street before turning around and returning to his courtyard.
After he closed the courtyard door, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
They had passed another checkpoint.
Even Grotto-Heaven experts couldn't see through his divine ability Myriad Transformations. It was impossible for them to find him.
After returning to the room, Zhou Shu immediately felt two gazes fall on him.
He wasn't surprised. Although Ji Lutian and Zheng Chengan were seriously injured, with their cultivations, they wouldn't be unconscious for long.
"Calm down. Don't attack me," Zhou Shu said calmly. "The two of you are injured, so you might not be able to defeat me. Moreover, if you attack and attract Tang Qianluo here, you will really be dead."
"You're just a first-rank martial artist. Even if we're seriously injured, killing you is like killing an ant." Zheng Chengan snorted, but he had no intention of attacking.
"Little Brother, who are you? Why are you helping us?" Ji Lutian looked at Zhou Shu.
"You don't know who I am?" Zhou Shu looked at Ji Lutian in surprise. "If you don't know who I am, why did you come to me?"
He stared at Ji Lutian. Ji Lutian's face was full of sincerity, and he didn't look like he was lying.
This made Zhou Shu a little puzzled. He had been wondering how Ji Lutian had determined his location. Now, it seemed that Ji Lutian didn't know who he was.
"I don't know you, Little Brother." Ji Lutian shook his head and said sincerely, "I just felt that there was a chance of survival in this direction. As expected, my feeling was right. Thank you for saving my life, Little Brother."
Ji Lutian cupped his hands solemnly.
Zhou Shu frowned and stared fixedly at Ji Lutian. Ji Lutian was calm and didn't avoid Zhou Shu's gaze at all.
"You just felt that there was a chance of survival, so the two of you landed in front of me?" Zhou Shu said in a low voice. "Do you think I'll believe such a coincidence? The people searching for you haven't gone far. I just need to call out loudly, and they'll immediately return.
"I know that your cultivations are very high. Even though you're seriously injured, it won't be difficult for you to kill me. But do you believe that I can definitely attract Tang Qianluo over before you kill me?"
"Yes, I believe you." Ji Lutian nodded seriously. "The reason why Tang Qianluo went crazy was because of you, right?"
A smile appeared on his face. "I was wondering who would dare to provoke a tiger. I didn't expect you to be so close."
Zheng Yongtai looked puzzled. "Old Ji, what are you talking about?"
He pointed at Zhou Shu. "What little brother? He looks older than us!"
Zhou Shu's face darkened. I indeed have the appearance of a middle-aged man, but why don't you look at yourself in a mirror? You must have lived for hundreds or thousands of years.
"Brother Zheng, what you see is not the truth." Ji Lutian smiled. He raised his hand, beckoned the bronze mirror on the table in the room into his hand, and held it in front of Zheng Chengan. "You'll know when you use this."
Zheng Chengan looked down at the mirror and was stunned. "What…"
"If I'm not wrong, this should be this little brother's unique divine ability," Ji Lutian said calmly. "What we're seeing now shouldn't be his true appearance. I can feel that he sn't old, and he exudes vigor."
"What divine ability can change our appearance and aura?" Zheng Yongtai asked in puzzlement. He was considered knowledgeable, but he had never heard of such a divine ability.
"There are all kinds of strange things and countless divine abilities in the boundless world." Ji Lutian was very calm. "If not for this little brother's divine ability, we would probably have fallen into Tang Qianluo's hands."
"That's true." Zheng Chengan laughed. He was also a big-hearted person. He looked at Zhou Shu and asked, "Kid, what did you do to anger that bastard Tang Qianluo to such an extent?"

"Don't talk nonsense. It wasn't me. I didn't do anything!" Zhou Shu shook his head in denial.
"It's not important." Ji Lutian smiled. "In any case, Tang Qianluo is furious. What do you think his expression will be like when he can't find us even after turning the entire Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven upside down?"
"Haha…" Zheng Chengan laughed out loud. Before he could catch his breath, he coughed violently again. "That bastard, it's best to anger him to death!"
Zheng Chengan rubbed his chest. He was seriously injured. How many years had it been since he was injured? He didn't expect that he would be injured before he could do anything big.
