Chapter 1108 (Sin Index)
Meng Meng picked up a piece of meat for Long Aotian and said, "Aotian, you make the decision, and our child and I will always follow you."
Long Aotian patted Meng Meng's shoulder, grateful for having a wife like her in his life.
At this moment, Jiu Ye spoke in a deep voice, "The person who attacked us that day seems to be from a powerful sect. They are relentlessly pursuing us. Today, while hunting, I met someone who mentioned a place not far from here called 'Sin City.'"
Long Aotian added, "It's said that Sin City is a lawless zone, and these sects won't enter it. So, I think we can go to Sin City to hide for a while and come out when the situation calms down."
Putting down her chopsticks, Meng Meng curiously asked, "Aotian, what does it mean for Sin City to be a lawless zone?"
"It means you can kill people on the street," Jiu Ye said in a serious tone. Sin City might not be a good place, but it was better than the current situation.
Moreover, there was a big shot over there, so it wasn't completely unsafe.
Long Aotian thought the same way. With the master around, they would surely be safe.
After hearing this, Meng Meng furrowed her brows slightly and asked, "Is Sin City really good? I'm worried about Long Yan..."
Meng Meng was concerned about her child growing up in such an environment, and it could become a problem in the future.
Indeed, Long Aotian was a bit worried about his child now.
But the current situation was not optimistic. Being chased by such a powerful sect was no small matter.
Even if the master was powerful, there was only one master. If someone restrained the master, others would be in danger.
Especially his wife and child, who had inadequate martial skills, were at risk of being captured.
Jiu Ye took a sip from the water kettle and said, "Sister-in-law, maybe Sin City isn't as bad as you imagine. But one thing is certain: those sects won't go to Sin City."
Meng Meng nodded, but she was still very worried.
At this moment, Chu Yuxuan spoke coldly, "Mom, rest assured. With your son here, no one can bully you! Unless they step over my dead body!"
So righteous, so heroic.
"Grandpa! Dad! You can rest assured. With me here, no one can touch a hair on your body! And my little brother as well!" Chu Yuxuan said with a cold face, exuding a strong sense of aloofness.
Everyone: "..."
Big brother, please stop talking. Goosebumps are all over.
However, at this moment, the Death Assassin opened his "eyes."
"Master." Long Aotian rejoiced. The master had been sitting for a whole day, and at noon, he "woke up."
The Death Assassin had been constantly communicating with his superior, the Death Mage.
But the Death Assassin's abilities were limited, and the distance was too far for effective communication.
The Death Mage had forgotten about his subordinate outside. A previous order had made the Death Assassin guard Long Aotian, and now he had become a part of the family. The once inhumane Death Assassin had now developed some humanity, which was indeed remarkable.
The Death Assassin's black eyes emitted a red glow as he slowly stood up and gestured with his hands, using a form of sign language.
Jiu Ye dared not act recklessly, remembering the vivid image of that skeleton from back then, who surprisingly enjoyed fishing... while smoking cigars. Especially during cigar smoking, his whole body emitted smoke, creating a scene that left people embarrassed.
There was also that eerie scythe...
But this was not the same skeleton, though it bore a resemblance.
"The master says we can go to Sin City and check it out before making a decision," Long Aotian said with joy. With the master's approval, they could proceed.
Meng Meng didn't say anything more; having the master's assurance was comforting.
Jiu Ye gently stroked Little Bao's head, and the latter licked with its tongue, while the former half-closing his eyes, thoroughly enjoying the moment.
"After finishing the meal, let's pack up and head to Sin City!" Long Aotian didn't want to continue living in hiding. If those people didn't show up that day, he might still be leading a comfortable life.
The Death Assassin nodded. It wasn't clear when he would see his master again, let alone his master's master.
After finishing the meal, Meng Meng prepared some more food, and everyone set out again.
The Death Assassin now wore a black robe, covering his head, and had an iron mask on his face, looking somewhat rough. Yet, this rough appearance gave off a chilling vibe, seemingly devoid of any emotions.
"We just need to head east," Jiu Ye said softly.
Everyone nodded and headed east. If there was no pursuit from the followers, Long Aotian might still be living a peaceful life.
A week later, the group finally reached Sin City.
However, what surprised Long Aotian and Jiu Ye was that there were many ordinary people here, starting with the city gates.
Previously, it was expected to be desolate inside Sin City, as entering this place meant being on the verge of getting killed at any moment. However, looking at the commoners, none of them seemed afraid. In fact, they all appeared excited, as if entering Sin City would bring them fortune.
The identity of the Death Assassin went unnoticed, his attire appearing quite ordinary and allowing him to avoid the gaze of others. Meng Meng, on the other hand, caught the eyes of some men. Her appearance was undeniable, a type of delicate beauty.
Of course, Long Aotian also had a sharp eye, finding Meng Meng attractive. She not only looked good but was also obedient and docile.
Sin City didn't differ much from other cities; tall walls stood upright, constructed with weathered stones, giving them an ancient appearance. Guards stood atop the walls, observing the people entering the city.
At the city gate, each person had to undergo inspection. Everyone needed to touch a stone tablet, and the tablet would emit a flash. There were a total of ten stars on the tablet. As long as one star lit up, the person could enter the city, indicating that they had reached a certain level of wickedness. The more stars, the more sins the person had committed. In such cases, the public wouldn't resent them; on the contrary, a higher star count indicated a higher status within the city.
This system essentially required one to cross moral boundaries to accumulate ten stars. Long Aotian observed that most people had just one star. He couldn't help but remember that years ago he might have been considered a bad person. Recently, he had become better, wondering if it would reflect in the test.
Soon, it was Long Aotian's turn. He inquired, "This big brother, these are my wife and child. Can I bring them in?"
If not, there would be no point in entering the city.
"You can," The guard replied indifferently, fearing that they might all end up dead in the city.
Long Aotian was delighted; as long as he could bring them in, it was good.
However, as Long Aotian began the test, a voice from inside the city asked for a pause. Soon after, a foul smell emanated, akin to that of a dead rat.
Five wooden carts were slowly pushed out, with white cloth covering them, stained with patches of blood.
