Liu Chan quickly responded, "Yes, Young Master."
Liu Chan was currently at the Saint Venerable mid-stage cultivation. If Xue Yangxia were injured, Liu Chan would indeed not be his match.
As for the current Xue Yangxia, having just gone through a life-and-death battle, even standing up was difficult, let alone anything else.
It would only take an instant for Liu Chan to take his life. Xue Yangxia didn't even have time to react before Liu Chan slit his throat.
This person deserved to die. Those who dared to use the lives of others to forge their own supreme path must always be prepared to be killed by others.
His current fate was destined for Xue Yangxia.
After killing Xue Yangxia, Luo Manqing quickly found the Seven-Colored Plate in the Foreign Beast City.
With the matter of the Foreign Beast City concluded, Xia Feng and the others also left the area.
Their trip to the Foreign Beast City had been very fruitful. Not only did they obtain the Seven-Colored Plate, but they also learned about Li Yurou's physique. Xia Feng was currently unaware of the effects of such a physique.
Judging solely by her fortune, she was clearly a favored child of heaven. Her blood could allow someone at the Saint Venerable Great Perfection stage to directly break through to Saint Emperor. This alone was enough to cause bloodshed in the Saint Realm.
However, it was fortunate that Li Yurou was with Xia Feng. No one else would ever get her blood in this lifetime.
After the Foreign Beast City incident, everyone's next destination was a city that appeared ordinary but exuded mystery.
This city was called Great Dao City, also known as Ascension City.
This was because many, many years ago, someone had ascended to the Chaos Realm from here.
This was merely a legend from a time too distant, and no one likely knew the specifics.
However, the remnants of the ascension site were still here. That place was magnificent and grand, exuding a powerful aura, so everyone believed that someone might have truly ascended from here.
Upon arriving at Ascension City, it was not as bustling as other cities; the population was somewhat sparse.
Perhaps it was because it was nearing evening, and the number of people on the streets was decreasing.
"Young Master, there's the aura of the Seven-Colored Plate here," Luo Manqing said as she approached Xia Feng after they entered the city.
Even if Luo Manqing hadn't said it, Xia Feng had already guessed that the place Li Yurou chose would be no ordinary location.
"Alright," Xia Feng nodded as usual.
The group continued walking into the city. While there were still a few sparse figures visible outside the city gate, they became fewer and fewer now. Instead, it felt as if they were the only ones on the entire street.
As everyone was wondering, a man standing in front of a shop said:
"You few outsiders, it's almost the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), and you haven't found an inn to rest yet. Curfew will be imposed soon. You shouldn't have come so late. All the inns will be full, and it will be even more dangerous outside."
This man, dressed in brocade robes, saw that Xia Feng and the others didn't look like locals, so he offered a kind reminder.
"What's wrong? We weren't aware of a curfew. Has something been happening in the city recently?" Xia Feng asked the man at the doorway with confusion.
"Yes, there's been a curfew for three months. People going out at night always end up dead. Later, the City Lord personally went out to patrol at night and was seriously injured the next day. He's still recovering at the City Lord's mansion, which is why the city has imposed a curfew," the man replied.
"Did the City Lord not explain the specific situation?" Xia Feng continued to ask.
"Let me tell you, it's said to be haunted by ghosts. And this ghost's strength is at least at the Saint Venerable Great Perfection level, otherwise the City Lord wouldn't have been injured. No one dares to go out at night now; it's a death sentence to step out. Who would dare to come out?"
"The number of people in the city has been decreasing recently, and many have moved out. Even those who haven't moved out dare not venture out at night. No matter what happens outside, absolutely do not go out. So, I urge you to find an inn to stay in quickly, and we can discuss any matters during the day."
The man first explained in a low voice the reason for the disturbances in the city, and then reminded Xia Feng and the others again.
It was good that there were things happening; it was only feared that there wouldn't be.
This way, it would seem livelier.
However, Xia Feng expressed his gratitude for the man's kind reminder: "Thank you for the reminder. We will go find an inn to stay."
After bidding farewell to the man, the women all showed fear.
Even though they knew that being by Xia Feng's side was the safest place in the world, they were still terrified of ghost stories from the bottom of their hearts.
Xia Feng walked towards an inn, with the others following closely behind him, afraid that someone was following them.
They didn't even dare to look back.
Even though they knew there was no one, they still didn't dare to look back.
