"Move out!"
"The administrator is going to inspect the brothel."
"Everyone gives way!"
The soldiers were pushing back the spectators, creating such a big scene. They were creating a perimeter where they could react when the demon attacked them.
Meanwhile, the bystanders' reactions were varied. Some of them were confused, some were annoyed, and the rest were just curious.
They didn't know what was going on, but it was clear that the operation was close to the normal opening hour of the brothel and having them act like this showed that they might not be able to enter a brothel for the rest of the night.
Hao Yu stood in front of the brothel while holding out a document. As soon as Zhao Ru came out, he stated, "Manager Zhao. As I said earlier, I have returned with soldiers to investigate your brothel. You are suspected to be hiding a demon in your establishment. This is the document."
Zhao Ru looked down and grabbed the document. She looked like she was reading, but she was actually thinking.
The blood on that sheet made her think that the demon clan sacrificed so much just to hide and cause her people to die. Unknown to her, the blood came from Hao Yu's hand. He refused to use the talisman and hurt himself.
He obviously knew about the fox demon's characteristics. That was why he didn't hesitate to ask the item to resist the charm despite knowing that he could resist it through another means. This was just to make the cultivator believe him and think he was not a special human.
Now that he returned, the demon clan would just follow through his plan and be not suspicious at all. In fact, a few of the demons hiding in other brothels had exited their hiding place before all this.
Zhao Ru gritted her teeth. She looked reluctant but with that document, she couldn't reject Hao Yu without any good reasons.
Still, Zhao Ru was already planning to accept it from the beginning. The reason for her hesitation was because Hao Yu told her so.
"Fine!" Zhao Ru finally agreed.
"Investigate the entire brothel and find any trace about demons." Hao Yu immediately ordered his soldiers after that agreement.
Without hesitation, the soldiers rushed inside.
The commotion had become bigger in the meantime to the point where the people from other places had come to see.
And more importantly, a few brothel owners, including the ones that wanted to harm this brothel, had come out to watch the show.
"It seems that she won't be able to escape this."
"If there is indeed a demon inside her brothel, her establishment has to be closed."
"At that time, we will take the opportunity to crush her."
They were scheming something as soon as Hao Yu left the scene. And it seemed that their wish was going to be fulfilled soon.
All of a sudden, someone jumped off the window. The brothel was a four-story building, so normal people wouldn't be able to jump off from the third or fourth floor.
Yet, someone actually jumped off, indicating that she was not a normal human. And that person was the demon that invited Hao Yu to her room earlier.
"What?!"
"Someone is going out!"
"She must be a demon for jumping from that high!"
The soldiers panicked and began to move, trying to catch her.
However, the demon smoothly landed on top of another's roof and moved away. There was another brothel in front of her, so she jumped high before climbing the wall with her extraordinary ability before continuing the path.
Her appearance looked like a normal human on the surface, but her ability was too extraordinary.
Hao Yu hurriedly shouted, "Catch her! We can't let her go."
The first one to move was actually Ding Ruoling. He jumped on to the roof and matched her speed, following her.
"What? Another person is chasing her!"
"Is he also a demon?"
The people from the brothels couldn't help but gasp, especially a few owners that had met Ding Ruoling. They obviously had offered Ding Ruoling an opportunity so that they could destroy Zhao Ru's brothel.
But if Ding Ruoling turned out to be a demon, they would definitely be implicated.
Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, that was also the time Ding Ruoling leaped toward the demon.
"Die, you demon! I know you are hiding inside that place!" Ding Ruoling shouted while swinging his sword.
All of a sudden, a pair of fox ears appeared on top of the woman's head. At the same time, her human ears disappeared as though it was an illusion all along. A fox tail emerged from her back and her nails became extremely long.
She stopped for a second and struck the sword with her long nails.
Surprisingly, the nails were so strong that it could actually stop the metal sword.
But with this, there was no denying that this woman was a demon. And Ding Ruoling who was chasing after her must be a cultivator, considering he also had the clothing of Mystic Void Sect's disciple.
"You are not getting away!" Ding Ruoling roared.
Cling!
Cling!
Cling!
A series of clicking sounds echoed through the city. But no matter how many times Ding Ruoling struck the demon, none of his attacks managed to reach her.
The demon actually looked at the north where the mine was located. If the disciples from the mine knew about this and helped him, it would be hard for her.
So, she picked up her speed and ran to the west.
"You're not getting away!" Ding Ruoling chased after her. Every time an opportunity arrived, he would try to strike her down so that she didn't notice. Of course, he didn't plan to kill her in the city, considering he was actually the bait.
Ultimately, they reached the west wall. Because there was no gate yet, the demon jumped as high as she could before climbing the wall like how she did earlier with a tall building
In just a moment, she had reached the top of the wall while looking at Ding Ruoling, "If you want to kill me, you need to do more than that."
