Chapter 61: Chapter 59: A Fate Not to End_2

Its innate talent was far superior to that of the average Bat Demon Clan, and by now, it sensed that the series of events over the past two days were highly suspicious, as if someone was calculating against it, challenging it. Currently, it had neither the time nor the energy to ponder over this, all it could do was to wait until its injuries healed, and then it could slowly plot and plan.

An old man slowly walked this way, and upon glancing up, he saw a demon standing under the tree. Frightened, he turned around and ran. Wo Tou currently revealed his true form, with a yellow face and fierce tusks, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, with his right arm severed at the shoulder—an embodiment of a classic despondent demon, so it was no wonder the old man fled in terror.

Wo Tou’s eyes lit up, and with a few rapid leaps, he rushed in front of the old man, grabbed him, and started to feed. In his prime, a single leap would have been enough to cut off the old man’s escape; now, it took him two or three efforts to gather his strength.

When the Bat Demon Clan migrated east, he had set the rule for his clanspeople to only drink blood and not kill humans. But now that his identity was exposed and his injuries were so severe, he urgently needed to replenish his demonic power—where could he find the mind to adhere to such rules? In just a few gulps, he drained the old man’s blood completely.

The demon murder case in Siping County had now become three cases.

However, his usual dietary needs were large, and since this old man was advanced in years, the little blood he consumed only made him feel even hungrier.

What he lacked the most now was time. The Cultivator who had injured him was clad in the garments of the Chi Xiao Sect, which indicated that his infiltration in Siping County had been exposed, something he least wanted to happen. Once the opponent had settled Shi Jishan, they would probably come looking for him, so it was most important to quickly leave Siping County and seek refuge in the next city.

He had only one life, and he was just over six hundred years old, living in the prime of his life, unwilling to meet an untimely end. The Demon Clan had a strong self-healing ability; no matter how severe the injury, as long as he could escape with his life, there would always be time to slowly recover.

He transformed into human form, stripped the old man of his clothes to wear himself, and scooped up some river water to wash his face, cleaning all the bloodstains from the corners of his mouth.

He had been the local tyrant in this area for several months, knowing that heading west would lead to the official road of Siping County. As long as he blended in with the crowd, there was a high chance of escaping Siping County’s boundaries.

Having transformed into a human form, he did not dare to use demonic power and had to hurry on his way. The further west he went, the more pedestrians there were on the road, and clearly, the official road was not far away. Even in his disguise, Wo Tou tried to be as inconspicuous as possible; his human appearance was that of a common middle-aged man in his forties, whose face was so ordinary that he would get lost in a crowd; he wore the old man’s coarse hemp coat, wrapped a cloth around his head, and tied the empty right sleeve around his waist, trying not to attract attention.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, the road ahead was dusty, and the official road was in sight. With his eyesight, he could still see the figures of people on the road.

Victory was within reach. He lowered his head and walked briskly forward.

At this moment, however, two small figures emerged from a side path and stood directly in front of him.

Two children, five or six years old, with broad foreheads and high cheekbones, their complexion somewhat yellow, staring at him with a very peculiar gaze.

"So it’s you two little bastards." Wo Tou was initially shocked, then he chuckled sinisterly. He had scoured the entire city for these two little bat demons and couldn’t find them, and now they came to him of their own accord, thinking he was an easy target?

"Wo Tou, big boss, long time no see." Bai Jing said with a grin, his small eyes gleaming with a light of hatred, "We’ve missed you so much. Every day, we long for you desperately."

He snorted: "What you want is my life, right? The two of you aren’t enough. But perhaps you want to follow your mother in death?" As he spoke, he casually slipped into the side path. The official road was very close, with many people and numerous prying eyes; he needed to settle this quickly.

After the murder case in Siping County, he knew trouble was brewing. But he did not expect disaster to strike so swiftly, catching him off guard. All things considered, the predicament he found himself in today could largely be blamed on these two little bastards. Wo Tou loathed Bai Jing and Bai Hong to his very bones, and since they had so foolishly presented themselves, if he could conveniently kill them before escaping Siping, it would certainly relieve some of the fury in his heart.

Neither party wanted to attract attention, so the twins followed him into the side path.

When they were out of sight of others, Bai Hong suddenly said, "We know. Just the two of us, we can’t beat you."

Bai Jing added, "But with him added to the mix, it’s different." He gestured towards the direction behind Wo Tou.

Wo Tou didn’t even turn his head, scoffing, "Too green, thinking you can trick me."

Out of nowhere, a voice behind him sighed and said, "You’re still so paranoid. But this time, the brothers didn’t lie to you."

That voice! Without even turning around, Wo Tou’s heart sank. He had always felt that something was off about this situation, and this person had been in his suspicions all along...

An hour later, in Siping County.

The merchant team had been lingering in Siping County for several days. Now, all the paperwork was in order, the goods were all packed, and it was time to depart.

Team leader Deng Hao finished the tea in his cup and gave the order: "Let’s set off. Move out." Soon after, the rumbling sound of wagon wheels rolling over the ground came from outside the window.

But then someone came with a message: "Brother Hao, there’s a girl who wants to see you. She claims her surname is Ning, and she’s accompanied by two children."

As the curtain was lifted, a smiling girl walked in, with peach-shaped eyes and an exquisite nose, dressed in a light teal cloth garment—none other than Ning Xiaoxian. By her side were two children with sallow skin but identical looks.

PS: Tomorrow I will update with one Chapter and provide an extra half Chapter, as the new Chapter "Immortal in the Tea" is about to begin. Also, I need more collections! It’s strange, though, the clicks and recommendation tickets are quite considerable, but why are the collections so few? Why!
