Chapter 176 The Final Funeral
The wind is cold and sharp.
The Dawei City, which was originally pitch black, is now brightly lit.
Everyone moved quickly through the alleys, constantly changing their escape routes to guard against the demon cultivators who were searching the entire city.
"Quick! Go over there and take a look!"
"My Lord has ordered that no one must be spared!"
"Spread out and look for them!"
The sounds of the demon patrol came one after another, and the light of the torches cast their hideous figures on the mottled walls, like evil spirits with bared fangs and claws.
The people in the city had already taken refuge in their homes with their doors and windows closed, fearing that they would be caught in this unprovoked disaster.
Fang Xin peeked out of the alley, confirmed that there was no sign of the demon cultivator, and then waved to the people behind her.
The middle-aged man was running with Lu Yuguan on his back and was already a little exhausted, so the men took turns to share the weight for the middle-aged man.
"They have all gone to the east. Let's leave now." Fang Xin said in a low voice.
As the group walked out of the alley, they unexpectedly saw a merman-like demon cultivator staring at them blankly.
Fang Xin's pupils shrank. It was Yu Xiaoliu.
"Miss Fang?" Yu Xiaoliu couldn't believe it.
Fang Xin bit her lip and said nothing, as if she didn't hear anything, and continued to lead everyone to flee in the opposite direction.
Yu Xiaoliu watched Fang Xin leave, his dry lips trembling slightly, without saying a word until everyone's figures disappeared around the corner.
A new patrol arrived. The leader, upon seeing the stunned Yu Xiaoliu, immediately shouted at him, "Hey! Hey, kid, have you seen any fleeing civilians?"
Yu Xiaoliu stretched out his finger and pointed towards the center of the inner city.
"Damn it, no wonder I couldn't find it, it turned out to have gone back again!"
"Everyone follow me!"
The patrol team passed by Yu Xiaoliu and hurried to the place he mentioned.
Yu Xiaoliu's eyes were empty and dim, as if his soul had been taken away.
"farewell."
As time passed, Fang Xin and others successfully arrived at the junction of the inner and outer cities. There were still many demon cultivators guarding this place, and they could not get out with their own abilities.
Several people huddled in the alley, too nervous to breathe.
Fang Xin said anxiously, "What should we do now? Even if we dodge those patrolling demon cultivators, we can't escape from here..."
The middle-aged man sighed deeply. He looked back at the musicians who lived with him. None of them had a sad face.
Lu Yuguan was still unconscious. He was laid flat on the ground by everyone, with several pieces of clothes under him.
The Yanlong robe wrapped half of his body, and he no longer had the majestic aura he had just had.
The middle-aged man seemed to have made up his mind and said to Fang Xin, "Girl, there is another way."
"What?" Fang Xin raised her eyes and asked.
"We are just a bunch of rotten bones, but we can still delay for some time. You still have some strength, take this young man away." The middle-aged man said slowly.
Fang Xin widened her eyes, looked at the middle-aged man in disbelief, and shook her head repeatedly: "No, absolutely not!"
Her eyes were red and her voice was choked.
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, and the wrinkles on his face deepened: "Girl, don't be silly. There are so many of us, and we are too big a target. We can't rush through at all."
"You are very agile. Once you leave the outer city and take Master Lu back to the Fang family, there might be a glimmer of hope."
"If we delay any longer, everyone will die here."
The musicians also echoed their sentiments. They knew that what the middle-aged man said was the truth. Although they were filled with fear, they were willing to give it a try to buy a chance for Fang Xin and Lu Yuguan.
Fang Xin bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at the unconscious Lu Yuguan, then at these simple men, struggling in pain inside.
After a long while, she finally nodded with difficulty, "You must stay alive. After I take Master Lu out, I will find a way to come back and save everyone!"
The middle-aged man smiled with relief, "I believe you, everyone in the Fang family is a good person."
Fang Xin's eyes were filled with tears. She bent over, carried Lu Yuguan on her back, and hid in the dark corner of the alley.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man turned to face the other musicians.
"We brothers have finally made it through today," said the middle-aged man with a wry smile.
Several musicians looked at him in silence.
When they were taken to the prison by the evil cultivators, they never thought they would have a chance to survive. If Lu Yuguan and the other two had not broken into the prison, they would have starved to death in prison.
Although no one spoke, everyone picked up their instruments without exception.
The middle-aged man clenched his rough fists, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"We have played funeral music all our lives, but we never thought that this last song would be for ourselves."
Hearing him speak like this, the musicians' fingers trembled involuntarily.
They are obviously the people who are most accustomed to death, but now they have become the most afraid of death.
"Carry the coffin!——"
The middle-aged man roared, and everyone rushed out of the alleyway for their lives and scattered in all directions.
The gatekeeper demon cultivator immediately spotted them and shouted, "They are escaped prisoners. Catch them!"
For a moment, the entire junction between the inner and outer cities was in chaos, and the guards all chased the musicians in order to compete for credit.
Fang Xin wiped her tears, gritted her teeth, and while the demon cultivators were not paying attention, she ran towards the outer city.
The distance was only tens of meters, but it seemed like a hundred thousand meters and difficult to cross.
Fang Xin ran with difficulty, sweat soaked her hair and her whole face turned red.
Only after they escaped from the inner city and confirmed that there were no pursuers behind them did she dare to take Lu Yuguan and hide in an alley.
Snapped--
Fang Xin was breathing heavily and her heart was about to jump out.
However, before she could recover from her shock, two hunched figures appeared at the exit of the alley.
One is fat, the other is thin.
"Brother, what did I say?" Lao Meng showed his dirty yellow teeth. "Let's wait here. We'll definitely catch the lone one."
Old Garlic had a big belly and a greedy look on his face.
"Let's make a deal first. We'll each take one of these two. No one's going to snatch them away!"
Lao Meng rubbed his hands and replied, "Whoever sees it gets a share. I know, I know."
Although he said he was half and half, he was calculating in his mind.
For the price of a meal, not only can you not get a transfer, but you also want to steal his credit?
Pooh!
It's just a fucking daydream!
Fang Xin looked at the two people approaching in horror, "Who are you?...Don't come over here!"
Old Garlic chuckled and said, "Little girl, stay still and don't move. Once I send you up there, everything will be fine..."
"No... don't come over here!" Fang Xin cried uncontrollably, her heart full of fear.
"Be obedient, and you won't suffer any pain!" said the old garlic with a sly grin.
"what!--"
Fang Xin's shrill scream rang out.
She reached out and hugged Lu Yuguan tightly, then closed her eyes as if resigned to her fate.
The two of them slowly approached, still laughing, "That's right—"
Click.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the lewd laughter that was still echoing in my ears was instantly silenced.
The air was filled with the stench of blood, which was nauseating.
This……
what happened?
Fang Xin slowly opened her eyes, only to see two headless corpses standing there with their backs to the moonlight, and the two faces that were shouting just now had fallen to the ground.
In the distance, a bright red was staring at her.
"Lu Yuguan..."
"You're still here."
