Before Li He could react, he was pushed aside and fell to the ground. Mu Xiaoling, who was standing behind him, caught him and helped him to the side.

"There's one more." That person glanced at him in disdain and led his men in to investigate the situation. After confirming that there were only five people, he took out a small stone and placed it on the table, "Come and try one by one."

The five people had no choice but to line up. Qi Taifeng, Jiuyang, and Tang Ling had all consumed a pill to block the pill, so naturally, there was no problem. Li He was also an ordinary person and only Mu Xiaoling had yet to try.

Feng Jiuyang felt a bit more worried.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoling's body went soft and she fainted in Li He's arms.

Li He was shocked and hurriedly caught her. Tang Ling's eyes turned and fiercely pinched her thigh. She cried out as she ran over, "Little sister, what's wrong with you!"

She probed Mu Xiaoling's breathing and suddenly cried out in alarm, "Cousin! Little sister, she's dead!"

At this time, Li He also reacted and immediately covered his eyes in grief as he began to cry. Tang Ling started to scream and howl with great pain: "How could this be? How could this be?! Didn't the doctor say that you could recover after taking the medicine? How could you die!"

Feng Jiuyang and Qi Tai were both embarrassed, but this was not the time. The two of them also sighed and lowered their heads, covering their faces with their sleeves.

"How unlucky!" The faces of the members of the Zhong Family, who were dressed in black, darkened. They put away the stone and left. What could they do to the dead bodies on the left and right?

The crowd cried for a while. They mainly relied on Tang Ling's performance to fool those people.

Mu Xiaoling couldn't help but open her eyes to take a look. Tang Ling finally stopped talking and sat down on the ground to fan herself. She slanted her eyes at Qi Tai and said, "What are you daydreaming for? Why aren't you pouring a glass of water for me?"

Qi Tai was looking at Tang Ling with a look of disbelief on his face, and upon hearing Tang Ling's words, he remembered and hurriedly poured a cup of water for her.

Tang Ling gulped it down. "So tiring."

Mu Xiaoling sat up and said with a smile, "It's all thanks to you this time."

Li He asked timidly, "Who are these people?"

Feng Jiuyang asked, "Which aristocratic family does this city belong to?"

Although Li He is a woman, he still knows a lot about the affairs of different countries, and said, "Ling country is not like other countries, other than the royal family, there are only three great families, namely Zhong family, Qiong family and Qing family, other small families can do business, but you cannot have ten more people as cultivators, otherwise it would be a heinous crime, in the end it would be said that Ling country's power is the royal family, three great families, and various kinds of guilds, although we are located at the border, but because it is one of the necessary official roads for other country's caravans to enter, we are occupied by the Zhong family, so every year the common people have to split the tax and come here."

Hearing this, the few of them understood, but no matter how detailed the information was, Li He didn't know.

After dinner, the group went back to rest. With such a tight search, it was impossible for them to leave this place.

The next morning, the five of them were sitting in the courtyard chatting when they suddenly heard another series of knocks on the door. "Li family's wife, open the door! I'm your beloved brother!"

Li He's face instantly turned pale.

The people outside did not hear his voice and even more filthy words came out one after another. Tang Ling was immediately enraged. She picked up a big broom beside her and opened the door. She viciously looked at the man outside and said, "I'll beat you up for something that does not come out of your dog's mouth!"

Even if Tang Ling did not use her true essence, the strength of that martial artist was not for nothing. A large broom hit down on that person, causing him to scream out loud. His face was covered in red marks as he wailed, "Aunt, please show mercy. This little one knows my wrongs, I know my wrongs!"

The members of the Zhong Family, who had heard the commotion, rushed over. When they saw the commotion, they left with a sneer.

Tang Ling chased him away before putting down the broom. After taking a few deep breaths, she returned to the courtyard and closed the door.

Li He was frequently harassed by people, but this was the first time someone helped her out. His eyes immediately reddened. "Thank you, Miss Tang."

Tang Ling embarrassedly scratched her head, "Don't cry, don't cry. If there's another person coming next time, act like me and act so rashly. They will definitely be afraid of you."

Li He shook her head. It wasn't like that. However, a myriad of words stuck in her throat, leaving her at a loss as to what to say.

Mu Xiaoling patted her shoulder. "We can help you for a while, but we can't help you for a lifetime. You have to stand up on your own."

Li He sobbed softly: "I have thought it through, I can't stay here anymore, I want to leave, and if I can find a new place, then I will be able to live by myself, if not, if not, then I will marry someone else, as long as their character is good, I will not ask for anything else."

Tang Ling said, "But you are just a weak girl, how can you walk? Why don't you come with us and stay until we find a suitable place." She looked at the other three for help.

Mu Xiaoling nodded her head. "That's good as well. If Madame Li does not mind, please follow us on our journey."

How could Li He object? He said gratefully, "How could I turn my back on you? I will never forget everyone's kindness. I only hope that I can repay this debt of gratitude in my next life."

Feng Jiuyang said, "It's just that it's not suitable for us to leave during this period of time. We still need to wait."

All four of them agreed on this point.

In the following days, they were very calm here, but unfortunately, all the people in the city were very unlucky. Because some foreign martial artists had sneaked into the houses, the members of the Zhong Family had gone crazy, and those who were gifted with Martial Spirits and didn't have three tokens had all been chased out of the city, regardless of whether or not they were from the city.

It was a pity that the city had become a lot emptier as everyone's doors were tightly locked. They were afraid that the next unlucky person would be their own home, but even so, there would still be cries from time to time.

Seven days later, the atmosphere gradually calmed down.

When Mu Xiaoling felt the departing pressure, she told the four of them that it was time to leave.

The next day, the big guy packed his luggage and sat on the old carriage that Feng Jiuyang had bought. Behind the carriage was a carriage that was used to transport goods, and on top of the carriage was a coffin.

The other four people were dressed in mourning and were disguised as mourners. The carriage in front was driven by Qi Tai, while Li He and Tang Ling sat in the carriage, followed by Feng Jiuyang who drove the carriage, and just like that, they arrived at the city gate.

As long as they left this place, they would be able to walk onto the official road of the capital of Ling State.
