Devil Sovereign: Consort Can’t Escape - C151
Mu Xiaolan, Gu Xiu, and Li Xiaowu hurriedly headed towards the temple with Li Xiaowu leading them all the way to Ah Bao’s room. Zhong Lan was in the middle of feeding Ah Bao medicine and immediately knelt down in gratitude when he saw Mu Xiaolan: “Benefactor, you’ve come.”
Mu Xiaoling hurriedly helped him up. “Don’t say that. It’s something we should do. I don’t know if it’s convenient for us. We have something to ask Ah Bao.”
Zhong Lan turned around to look at Ah’Bao, who nodded, “I’m already much better, benefactor saved my Ah’Bao’s life, just ask whatever you want to know.”
Time was running out, and Mu Xiaoling said straightforwardly, “I want to know about the unmarked cemetery.”
When the old Cyan Demon Daoist came to Mu Yuan Town three years ago, the place started to get haunted. At first, there were cries of children coming from every single night, but none of the children in the village were missing, but after a period of rest, they became the howls of all kinds of animals. Even the most experienced hunters were unable to clearly hear the cries of all the animals, and later the howls became the whispers of many people, the rear mountains are very big, and the place we live is actually very far away from each other, but at night it seems like someone is whispering in our ears.
Gu Xiu asked, “Do you know the specific location?”
“I’ll draw you a map.” After finishing his drawing, he blew the ink dry and handed it to Mu Xiaolan, “I don’t know what you are going to do there, but the poison is also related to that place.”
Mu Xiaoling was quite surprised. “Oh?”
“To be honest, I was overestimating myself.” Ah’Bao’s face turned slightly red, “I was secretly approaching the inn, but was discovered by that Cyan Demon. He wanted that monster to eat me, and I originally suspected that the matter of the Burial Ground was related to the Cyan Demon, so I told him in a hurry. For some reason, the Cyan Demon didn’t make things difficult for me after hearing this and only let the monster bite me.”
“So that’s how it is.” Mu Xiaoling thought for a moment and felt that this matter wasn’t too far off. She looked carefully at Ah’Bao and discovered that a ball of air had appeared between his eyebrows.
This ball of air was transparent, and the gathering of thick true essence was not something that could be done in a day or two.
She used her spiritual sense to tell Gu Xiu Hu about her discovery.
Gu Xiu was shocked, “Master, this is the Sky Profound Body, a rare sight in a thousand years!”
Mu Xiaoling was startled. She didn’t think that Ah’Bao would have such a special physique. Since this was the case, why not help him? Thinking of this, she took out a book of two or three martial skills from her spatial ring and placed some pills on Ah’Bao’s bed.
Zhong Lan was startled by the item on the bed. “Benefactor, this is …”
Mu Xiaoling replied, “This is a mental cultivation method and a martial skill. Medicines are supplementary to cultivation. You can take one every day when you’re meditating. Ah’Bao’s talent isn’t weak. I have left these things to help him.”
“You … You mean I can… “Cultivate?” In his dreams, he had always hoped to become a martial artist. If he knew how to fight or even die in battle, he definitely would not let everyone fall to such a state, but he knew that he was just dreaming. He never thought that one day you would actually be able to tell him that he could become a martial artist.
Mu Xiaoling nodded affirmatively.
Ah’Bao’s eyes became moist, and Zhonglan immediately cried tears of joy, hugging Ah’Bao, “Great, great!”
Mu Xiaoling and Gu Xiu glanced at him protectively before stealthily leaving the room.
As the two of them returned to the street, Mu Xiaoling looked at the map and suddenly thought of an important question. “Ah’Bao’s previous home was in the village outside of town. However, we are not allowed to leave this town. How are we going to get out of town?”
“Perhaps we were mistaken from the start.” Gu Xiu then stopped and said, “It’s impossible for the Formation Aperture to be located outside the town. We only made a circle in the main street, heading towards the east and west. However, we have never passed through between the north and south.”
Mu Xiaoling immediately understood that most people who entered the city would only be walking on the main street due to the lack of time. After a cycle, these people would think that they were trapped in the town and would ignore the north and south direction.
“Let’s go take a look.” Mu Xiaoling said as she walked towards the location indicated on the map.
Although Mu Yuan Town was square, only the main city gate was on the east and west sides. There was only a small door between the north and south. Normally, no one would leave, but the lock on the door was already rusted.
“Sure enough.” Mu Xiaoling said.
They couldn’t even see the city gate when they walked towards the main street of East and West. However, they had seen it now. It could only be said that this place was not the boundary of the formation.
Gu Xiu’s hand turned into a claw and cut the chain in two. The chain fell to the ground and he opened the door.
Outside of the gate was a barren land. Weeds were growing everywhere, and it was almost as tall as a man. After crossing this area, they matched the map given by Ah Bao. They followed the map and arrived at the foot of the back mountain in about ten minutes.
Upon reaching this place, Mu Xiaoling felt an aura that was filled with corrosion and withering approaching her.
Gu Xiu said, “This is the deathly aura. Normally, even the unmarked cemetery wouldn’t have been able to gather so much. I believe the formation eye should be here.”
“Let’s go up and take a look.” Mu Xiaoling was the first to set foot on the path up the mountain. Suddenly, a strong wind blew and a black demonic energy mixed with an aura of death filled the entire space. However, the distance between each step was like two different worlds.
The latter step, Gu Xiu Hu squinted his eyes due to the wind. “Master, something’s wrong here.”
Normally, a formation core user would leave behind some defensive measures to guard the formation core, so how could such a big Cyan Demon not be prepared?
Mu Xiaoling summoned the Spirit Abyss and walked warily up the mountain with Gu Xiu Hu. The more they climbed, the heavier the demonic energy became. When Gu Hu was alive, the ancient Spiritual Beasts had almost been unable to withstand it.
“Come back.” Mu Xiaoling called out upon seeing that Gu Xiu Hu refused to go back.
“Master, the road in front of us is unknown, I’m fine.” Gu Xiu firmly shook his head, but his eyes suddenly went black and he almost fell to the ground.
“What are you trying to be brave for?” Mu Xiaoling let out a long sigh before forcefully sending Gu Xiu Hu back into the Beast Repellent Space. She proceeded forward by herself, and when she went against the wind, it was as if someone had cut her up behind a hill. The mountain was so short, and the ground in the distance rose and fell continuously, accompanied by a large number of earth graves, exposed corpses and coffins, and the mutated carrion birds circling above.
This was the unmarked cemetery.
