"Uncle Bai, isn’t it a little too peaceful here? It doesn’t feel like we’re anywhere near the Lifeless Forest at all!"
Watching the custors coming and going, Ye i spoke very quietly to Bai Xiaofan.
"If you’re that curious, why don’t you go poke around and find out?"
"How am I supposed to poke around? You want to just walk over, grab so random person and ask them?"
"You’re a woman, and a pretty decent-looking and well-built woman at that. I’m sure you’ll think of sothing."
Bai Xiaofan spoke lightly, toying with his wine cup in his hand, but his Divine Sense had long since spread out.
Very quickly, Bai Xiaofan discovered sothing off inside a tall tower at the center of the town.
There was an incredibly powerful aura there, so strong that even if Bai Xiaofan went all out, he still wouldn’t dare claim he could definitely beat the other party.
At the sa ti that Bai Xiaofan probed the other party, the other party also sensed Bai Xiaofan’s existence.
Their two consciousnesses instantly confronted each other in midair.
Rumble!
Accompanied by a series of loud booms, patches of dark clouds drifted in overhead, shrouding the entire Carefree Town.
"Not good, demonic beings are here to kill! Hurry and hide!"
On the street, no one knew who shouted it first, but in an instant everyone rushed into the shops at their sides, or dashed into their hos as fast as they could.
Even in the inn where Bai Xiaofan and the others were staying, quite a few people charged in, and then the shopkeeper ordered the waiter to quickly shut the inn’s main door.
The next instant, a group of demonic beings flew in from the east side of Carefree Town, which was the direction of the Lifeless Forest, and hovered above the town.
"Are you trying to break our agreent?"
Just as Ye i and Silver Robes tightened their grip on their Longswords, ready to rush out at any second and have a good slaughter with the demonic beings, a powerful, ringing voice echoed through the air.
Right after, a gigantic figure flew in from the distance, and with just a single step, arrived in front of those demonic beings.
Hiss!
Seeing this person’s getup, Silver Robes, Yuan’er, and the others all drew in a sharp breath.
This person was three zhang tall, his entire body wrapped in an iron chain as thick as an arm; with every step he took, the chain clanked and rattled.
Especially on his shoulder, where he carried a pitch-black coffin as dark as ink, exuding an evil aura that pressed down so hard it made everyone feel they couldn’t breathe.
"Great, it’s Mo, Mo is here!"
"I knew it, Mo would definitely show up!"
"Of course. Every ti demonic beings or anyone else tries to invade our Carefree Town, Mo appears and drives them off!"
"With Mo here, our Carefree Town can stay carefree forever!"
Inside the inn, when they saw that towering figure carrying a coffin appear in midair, everyone did their best to hold down their excitent, cheering in low voices.
As if so long as this man called Mo appeared, no matter how many demonic beings there were, they would be safe.
"Uncle Bai, what cultivation realm is this Mo at? How co I can’t sense it at all?"
Her beautiful eyes fixed on Mo in the sky, Ye i lightly poked Bai Xiaofan with her small hand and asked in a low voice.
"As for his exact cultivation, even I don’t know. But one thing is certain: this Mo in front of us is extrely dangerous. He’s much stronger than your master."
Bai Xiaofan slapped Ye i’s small hand and spoke with utmost seriousness.
Ye i shook the fingers that had been smacked sore, clearly not very convinced by Bai Xiaofan’s words.
She knew exactly how strong her master, True Man Tianyun, was. Before, when her master said Bai Xiaofan was stronger than himself, she hadn’t believed it.
And now Bai Xiaofan was saying that this suddenly-appearing man in front of them was far stronger than her master. Didn’t that an her master, True Man Tianyun, was the weakest of the three of them?
As soone who’d been raised by True Man Tianyun since childhood, Ye i simply couldn’t accept soone talking about him like that.
Smack!
Just as Ye i was thinking this, she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her butt, and when she turned around she saw Bai Xiaofan’s big hand just pulling back.
In an instant, Ye i understood what had happened. Her pretty face flushed red as she glared at Bai Xiaofan, wishing she could stab a hundred holes in him with one thrust of her sword.
"You... what are you doing?"
"As your Martial Uncle, what’s wrong with disciplining you a little? Is that not allowed?"
Bai Xiaofan’s face didn’t redden and his heart didn’t race as he asked back blandly.
"Allowed. Totally allowed."
Ye i forcibly pressed down the sha and anger in her heart, took a deep breath, nodded, and spoke through gritted teeth.
At the sa ti, she cursed inwardly: Bastard, you’d better pray you never fall into my hands, or I’ll make sure you regret it!
In all her life, whether in the past or now, no one had ever dared smack Ye i’s butt.
anwhile, in midair, after hearing Mo’s words, the demonic beings all flew off, continuing westward—the direction of Moonwatch City and the other two cities.
With the demonic beings’ departure, Mo also flew away from the sky.
A short while later, the shops in Carefree Town opened their doors again, and the streets were once more filled with people just like before, as if nothing at all had happened.
"Waiter, who is this Mo? Those demonic beings seed really afraid of him."
Looking at the waiter who’d co to refill his wine, Bai Xiaofan casually flipped out a mid-grade Spirit Stone and asked offhandedly.
"Guest, you’re not from around here, are you? To be honest, I don’t really know where this Mo ca from either. It’s just that, ever since I was little, I knew our Carefree Town had a Guardian God. Every ti the town was in danger, he’d show up and drive the enemy away, and he’s never asked us for any paynt."
"After a long ti, no one knew what his na was. It was only once, when a powerful cultivator ca to our town and chased after him. He exchanged a few words with that person, and when he ca back he was badly injured, leaving behind just one word—Mo."
"Over ti, everyone in our little town started calling that Guardian God ’Mo’."
The waiter hurriedly pocketed the mid-grade Spirit Stone, and seeing that the shopkeeper hadn’t noticed, his tongue loosened and he started chattering away to Bai Xiaofan.
"This way please, guest!"
Just then, another person walked in from outside—a young man dressed like a fragile scholar, holding a paper fan in his hand, cultured and elegant, and rather handso.
"Seat him here."
When Bai Xiaofan saw the man, he called out to the waiter, then slapped Ye i, who was sitting beside him, again, signaling her to go sit with Yuan’er.
"You... you’ve gone too far, that’s twice now!"
Feeling the burning pain coming from her butt, Ye i glared angrily at Bai Xiaofan. With so many people here, she couldn’t exactly rub it, so she could only fu like this.
