CHAPTER 1731: CHAPTER 1033. BASHE CITY

Chapter 1033

After Mo Jiuli and Lingling were ready, they directly entered Bashe City. Just as Mo Jiuli expected, as soon as they entered Bashe City, they saw that portraits were posted everywhere—depicting their previous looks. Fortunately, she had the foresight to change their appearances, otherwise they would have been caught upon entering the city...

Mo Jiuli was truly speechless; she didn’t expect the Netherworld to be so similar to the Human World, with notices and rewards posted, offering 1000 soul pearls for discovering their whereabouts. Quite generous indeed...

"Mother, it seems like they’re really quick!" Lingling commented, looking at the notifications plastered everywhere.

"Hmm, since they’re all connected, I suppose they must have communication channels," Mo Jiuli replied calmly.

To avoid suspicion and trouble, Mo Jiuli and Lingling did not leave Bashe City immediately but chose a random inn to stay for a day. This was the first time Mo Jiuli and Lingling stayed in an inn in the Netherworld after arriving, and it seemed no different from any other place. Mo Jiuli, of course, didn’t come to sleep, but cultivated throughout the night. The next day, they checked out and headed directly to the city gate...

Upon reaching the city gate, several individuals in black clothes were holding a piece of black stone, examining the aura of each person leaving the city. Mo Jiuli and Lingling calmly walked over, submitted to the check, and easily left the city...

After leaving the city, they arrived at the Sanzu Riverbank and waited for a while. Elder Zhou’s ferry reappeared and took Mo Jiuli and Lingling to the next city, Tieshu City. Compared to Bashe City, Tieshu City also had portraits of Mo Jiuli and Lingling posted, but not as many, and there was no inspection at the city gate...

Except for Bashe City, Mo Jiuli and Lingling did not rest in any other city and passed straight through, unless they encountered a larger city like Tiezhu City, where they would rest slightly; otherwise, they just passed by. All along, Elder Zhou ferried them across the river...

In about half a month, Mo Jiuli and Lingling passed through Santu City, Bashe City, Tieshu City, Niejing City, Zhenglong City, Tiezhu City, Daoshan City, and Volcano City. Today, Mo Jiuli and Lingling just passed Caoyouguo City, arriving at the Sanzu Riverbank, preparing to head to the next city, Niukeng City...

However, this time, the person who ferried them was not Elder Zhou. Mo Jiuli and Lingling exchanged glances, feeling something was amiss. Previously, Elder Zhou had been ferrying them, and he hadn’t mentioned any plans before. Why was there a change in personnel?

"Are you Elder Zhou’s friends?" The person kept the bamboo hat on, looking at Mo Jiuli and Lingling on the shore, and asked.

"Who is Elder Zhou?" Mo Jiuli asked in confusion.

"No, nothing. It’s forty soul pearls to cross, get aboard," the person said, glancing at Mo Jiuli.

"Thank you!" Mo Jiuli paid the soul pearls and boarded with Lingling.

No one spoke during the ferry ride, and they quickly reached the other shore. Mo Jiuli and Lingling didn’t ask more questions and turned to leave. The ferryman murmured regretfully, "Where exactly did those two women go?"

Walking not far away, Mo Jiuli heard this and her eyes turned cold, realizing that Elder Zhou had been implicated because of them! It made sense; those people had been unable to find them for many days, naturally they would start their investigation from the beginning. Therefore, Elder Zhou, who first ferried them across the river, became the prime suspect...
