  There wasn't much information on the jade plaque. After a while of sipping tea, Li Hui withdrew his attention and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

  According to the Jade Token introduction, this Lu surname Jindan cultivator's name was Lu Yanzhao, from the Ziwei Palace, and he was the commander of the Seventh Battalion of the Eastern City District of the City Guard.

  From this little information, we can glimpse the tip of the iceberg of Ziw Palace's power. Just one battalion in the East City District of the City Guard has a late-stage Golden Elixir cultivator as its commander. How many such battalions are there? And under the jurisdiction of Ziw City, how many cities are hidden with even more powerful forces? Not to mention the actual strength of Ziw Palace itself.

  But these thoughts flashed through Li Hui's mind, and he was not very enthusiastic about these power struggles at the moment. Moreover, he had just parted with Han Xue, and his heart was still a little melancholy.

  Like this, Li Hui walked carelessly on the long street, casually looking at the passersby and scenery on both sides of the street. Just a moment ago, he was still walking shoulder to shoulder with Han Xue, and the scenes were vividly replayed in his mind. Han Xue's smiles and frowns seemed to be still before his eyes, but she had already left, leaving behind endless thoughts.

  Half a time later, Li Hui was still strolling on the long street. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and frowned, keeping his footsteps at the same speed, but turning into a market. Just as he turned around, Li Hui's eyes caught sight of two suspicious figures tens of meters behind him, who stopped their steps unnaturally and pretended to unintentionally stop in front of a market door.

  Li Hui walked into the market with an expressionless face, but only took a casual glance before turning around and leaving. However, he deliberately made a detour on the street, making turns at every corner. After several observations, he finally recognized the two people who were still following him - it was indeed Liu Kun from Bi Xiang Men and another Jijian cultivator.

  Li Hui's mouth curled up in a cold smile, although he didn't know what intentions these two had for secretly following him, but it was definitely not good. After a moment's thought, he suddenly drew out the Purple Lightning Sword and took to the air, intentionally keeping his flying speed slow as he flew towards the nearest city gate.

  The city of Ziwai is so vast that it naturally wouldn't have only four gates like an ordinary city. In fact, the layout of Ziwai City isn't a perfect square, but rather has thirty-two gates for entering and exiting.

  Li Hui flew towards a city gate in the southeastern part of the city, while paying attention to the situation behind him. However, in order to avoid startling the snake by hitting the grass, he did not release his spiritual sense to observe, but instead occasionally glanced back with the corner of his eye.

  Those two indeed followed with their swords drawn, hovering about a hundred paces away from Li Hui.

  Li Hui's body was over 100 feet away.

  "Brother Liu, look at Li Hui's current movements, it seems like he wants to leave the city. What is he going to do outside the city? Could it be that he has discovered us?" The foundation-building cultivator who was traveling with Liu Kun asked somewhat anxiously.

  "Hmph, what are you afraid of? Even if he finds out, so what? He's just one person and only at the initial stage of his cultivation. You and I, two people, should not be afraid of him! If he leaves the city, that would be even better, we can take care of him outside the city!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Liu Kun's eyes.

  That Zhujishi looked at Liu Kun's appearance, hesitated to speak, and urged the sword light under his feet to carefully follow Li Hui with Liu Kun a hundred paces away.

  After nearly half a time, passing through several mountain ranges and crossing a lake of no small size, the high city wall and magnificent city gate finally appeared in front. Under the city gate, a group of monks led by a foundation repair monk were conducting routine checks on the incoming and outgoing monks.

  This Ziwei City certainly cannot fly out directly over the city wall, it is said that if you accidentally trigger the ban on the empty city wall, even a Jindan cultivator will be directly killed by the ban, and even Yuanying cultivators cannot break through the ban to get out.

  Li Hui pressed down on the sword light and fell to the ground, walking towards the city gate.

  "Friend of the Tao, please show your identity token!" The leader of the city gate guard squad, Zhuji Xiu Shi, said to Li Hui.

  Li Hui stretched out his hand and handed it over from the storage bag, the Jizhi repairman took it in his hand and scanned it with his spiritual sense, then handed it back to Li Hui and waved his hand to let him go.

  To enter or exit the city gate, you can show either a permanent residence permit or a temporary one. However, if it's your first time entering the city from this gate without a permit, you will be detained by this squad and taken to a nearby office to handle the relevant temporary residence procedures.

  Outside the city of Ziwai, in this desolate beast marsh, there are also many demonic beasts coming and going. However, within fifty miles of the city, almost all the demonic beasts have been cleared out by the City Guard. Only outside the fifty-mile radius will some low-level demonic beasts with unopened spiritual wisdom occasionally appear, while high-level demonic beasts with high spiritual wisdom naturally keep their distance.

  Li Hui left the city and flew away on his sword, heading towards a distant place outside the city.

  Liu Kun and the other person also rushed out of the city, seeing Li Hui's sword light direction, they also rode their swords to chase after him.

  "Brother Liu, do you think Li Hui intentionally led us out of the city? Could he have some ulterior motive?" The Jijian cultivator who was with Liu Kun said with some concern.

  "Hmph, he's come out of the city, this is just asking for death. He's alone, I don't believe he can still escape from our grasp. Qin Shidi, you're thinking too much. Wait until he goes a bit further ahead, then we'll catch up and directly kill him!" Liu Kun said with a fierce glint in his eye.

  The cultivator known as Qin Shidi also fell silent and the two of them urged their swords forward in pursuit.

  More than twenty miles away after a moment, Li Hui still maintained his steady speed, but the two behind him no longer hid their figures, and the sword light quickly caught up.

  Li Hui's mouth curled up in a cold smile: "It's almost here!" The sword light suddenly stopped and fell to the ground.

  "Hiss!"

  Two sword lights arrived in an instant and fell several meters in front of Li Hui's body.

  "Liuhui, you two have been secretly following me all the way, it's time for a rest!" Li Hui said coldly, looking at them calmly.

  The Qin Shidi who was with Liu Kun had a look of surprise on his face: "So you've discovered us long ago!"

  Liu Kun glared at Li Hui with a gloomy expression: "Very well, you've discovered that we're actually going out of the city to look for death. In that case, I'll send you on your way!"

  Li Hui's heart slightly stirred, he knew that these two were not harboring good intentions, but he didn't think they would actually have the audacity to try and kill him. It was either an order from Han Shi Dao Ren or Liu Kun taking matters into his own hands because of his relationship with Han Xue.

  Li Hui quickly understood the situation and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Since you have evil intentions towards me, then you should be prepared to be killed!"

  A flash of light, the purple electric sword's purple glow suddenly shot towards Liu Kun.

  Liu Kun's pupils contracted, he didn't expect Li Hui not only didn't run away but instead launched a preemptive attack. He hastily raised the flying sword in his hand to block the Purple Thunder Sword.

  "Whoosh!"

  The purple electric sword flashed in the air and disappeared into the void, Liu Kun's face changed greatly, he didn't expect Li Hui's sword to be so fast, his body moved and jumped to one side.

  Before he could even move, the next moment, the Purple Lightning Sword appeared in front of him. Liu Kun was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, waving his flying sword to try and block it.

  Qin, who was standing by, saw Li Hui launch an attack on Liu Kun. After a moment's thought, he didn't help Liu Kun resist, but instead used his flying sword to shoot at Li Hui.

  Just as the Purple Lightning Sword was about to pierce towards Liu Kun's body, a cold sword aura rushed forward, and Liu Kun suddenly felt a thread of fear from the depths of his soul, because he found that with the speed of the Purple Lightning Sword, he couldn't even block or dodge it!

  At this moment, Qin Shidi's flying sword was already heading towards Li Hui, less than a zhang away from him.

  At this moment, Li Hui's mouth suddenly curled up with a sinister and cruel smile. With a light pinch of his fingers, the Purple Electric Sword suddenly bent and shot towards Qin Shidi, who was controlling the flying sword to attack Li Hui, its speed and accuracy not decreasing in the slightest!

  "Hiss!"

  Qin's junior brother's skull was instantly pierced by the purple electric sword, and with a "plop" sound, it burst open like a watermelon, splashing white brain matter and blood in all directions.

  Liu Kun, who was several feet away from Qin Shi, was splashed in the face without warning.

  Qin Shidi's flying sword suddenly dimmed its light and fell to the ground less than a zhang away from Li Hui.

  Li Hui waved his hand, using the Drive Object Technique to catch the flying sword and threw it into the storage bag. With a flash of light, the Purple Thunder Sword returned to his hand, coldly staring at Liu Kun.

  Liu Kun was splattered with a face full of blood and brain matter, his eyes filled with horror as he stared at Li Hui's cold and ruthless gaze that seemed to hold endless killing intent. Sweat poured from his forehead, mixed with the blood and brain matter, flowing down his cheeks, making him look terrifying.
