Chapter 185 Wang Tao
"We're almost there. Get ready, the airship is about to land."
What would normally take several days to travel by sword can now be accomplished in just a few hours by flying boat.
We arrived in the town very quickly.
It's a bit of a pity for Mu Wudi.
It came too fast.
It's not noon yet, so I can't eat without a valid reason.
We can only eat something when we get back.
It's a pity.
Xiao Xiao got up and looked outside.
From the air, Xujiang Town is actually not very big.
Several figures at the very front.
The leader was dressed in a black robe. He was old but very tall, robust, and strong.
The airship slowly descended.
The three jumped down, and Mu Wudi put away his magical artifact.
get ahead.
Xiao Xiao followed behind her.
Liu Meng followed behind Xiao Xiao.
The town mayor and his entourage on the other side had already noticed the situation.
The old man strode over.
Cup your fists and bow.
"Outer disciple Wang Tao greets all members of the Sword Sect!"
He has been down the mountain for many years.
He failed the inner sect assessment decades ago and knew he had no hope of promotion.
He then left the sect.
I came here unexpectedly while traveling down the mountain.
He fell in love with the daughter of the previous town mayor and settled down there.
Decades later, the old town mayor passed away due to a recurrence of his old injuries.
Wang Tao took over the responsibility and became the new mayor of the town.
The town mayor of this small town hardly makes any money, and the people living here are not well-off. The few wealthy families are only slightly better off than others.
It can be described as a thankless and arduous task.
When faced with bandits or wild beasts, it was always the town mayor who took action.
They have protected the town for decades.
With him around, the town was peaceful and undisturbed.
But now, demons are causing trouble, and powerful demons at the Foundation Establishment stage have appeared. Even he, the town mayor, has no way to deal with them.
We can only ask our sect for help.
The commission was posted shortly after, and a disciple accepted it.
We arrived here so quickly.
This moved Wang Tao deeply and surprised him greatly.
only…
Aren't these people a bit too young?
It wasn't that he didn't believe in the sect.
The main problem is that the three people in front of me are all getting smaller and smaller.
The girl in the lead was the youngest.
He's really too short.
The one following behind was the tallest among them, but his face still had a touch of childishness.
And the last one looks a bit... um...
To put it bluntly, he's a bit slow and silly.
He doesn't seem that smart.
Seeing these three people walking together, it's really hard to believe they're out here to slay demons and monsters.
More like...
Three sisters traveling together.
The one in front is the third sister, the one in the middle is the eldest sister, and the one at the very back, the simple-minded girl, is the second sister.
He doesn't seem like a disciple of any sword sect at all.
But since the other party accepted the commission, they must have carefully reviewed the case file.
I know what's going on.
If you're willing to come, then you must have some confidence in your abilities.
Since that's the case, he shouldn't waste his breath.
It's as if they don't trust others.
Wang Tao didn't say much and went straight to the point.
"I beseech you, esteemed immortal masters! Slay the demons and vanquish the monsters!"
Although he was just a minor outer disciple in the Sword Sect decades ago.
However, he is very popular and has a good relationship with many disciples.
Among them were quite a few inner disciples.
Therefore, they also have some understanding of the inner disciples.
Accepting commissions is something only inner disciples can do.
In other words, the three people in front of us are all inner disciples, and their cultivation levels are all above the Foundation Establishment stage!
All three of them were at the Foundation Establishment stage, so dealing with a mere Foundation Establishment demon was a piece of cake for them.
Where is that demon?
Mu Wudi didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.
Xiao Xiao behind him was a little nervous.
Although she had already reached the second level of Foundation Establishment, this was her first time participating in a commission.
If it weren't for the two senior sisters accompanying me...
She's probably too stressed and anxious to handle it right now.
Looking at the petite and slender senior sister in front of me.
Xiao Xiao felt a sense of relief.
The little fox behind him completely ignored everything and kept its head down eating dried fruit.
With a Nascent Soul stage expert, what business is she of interfering?
Let's just honestly coast along and fish.
"That demon is in the back mountain. It came down a few times before, and I led the able-bodied men of the town to drive it away. But it came down again at night, and that time the casualties were heavy. After that, perhaps it was full, it never came down again."
Wang Tao's face looked extremely grim.
Pale.
It seems I'm thinking back to that night again.
Having successfully driven away the monster, the townspeople were much relieved and at ease.
I also felt that the thing wouldn't reappear anytime soon.
After all, he had injured it in the process, even at the cost of serious injury.
But to everyone's surprise, it came down the mountain again not long after.
And it was at night.
At that time, the people in the town had let their guard down.
I never expected this myself.
The night guards were instantly killed, and then the pigs, dogs, cattle, and sheep in the town were slaughtered in a frenzy.
Then, it's the common people.
Many people died that night.
The monster left when the sky turned slightly cool, perhaps because it had eaten its fill and was resting in a cave in the back mountain.
He sent people to keep watch near the cave.
That thing never came out.
Now that the inner disciples of the Sword Sect have finally arrived, Wang Tao can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"I will now lead you all..."
As they were talking, they suddenly felt a warmth from the jade pendant at their waist.
His expression changed greatly.
The several strong men around him also looked worried.
This jade pendant doesn't have much spiritual energy attached to it, nor does it have any special function.
It has only one use.
One side crushed the jade pendant, and the other side could feel it.
This is a signal!
It was a signal from the young man who was watching the demons in the back mountain!
Something unexpected has happened!
Either that demon has its eye on him!
Either that demon has come down from the mountain!
Either way, it's extremely urgent!
"Please follow me, fellow immortal masters..."
Before Wang Tao could finish speaking...
I could only feel spiritual energy attaching to me.
At the same time, Xiao Xiao, the little fox, also felt that gentle energy.
The girl who was standing at the very front and was the shortest.
It can actually fly!
They moved quickly with the three of them!
The reason for attaching energy to the three people was twofold: firstly, to prevent their physical bodies from being unable to withstand the high-intensity movement speed, and secondly, to protect them in advance and prevent them from being affected by the battle later.
"Is this the direction the back mountain is in?"
Mu Wudi asked calmly.
She had just spread her divine sense and sensed a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy in this direction.
It's not particularly powerful.
But it was a bit strange.
Yes, it's strange.
This doesn't seem like the spiritual energy fluctuations of a demonic beast, but if it were human, it would still be somewhat different.
It seemed to be an aura that was both human and beast.
This is very strange.
How can humans and monsters be combined?
Could these things really be mixed together?
"This way! Keep going straight ahead and you'll reach the cave!" Wang Tao nodded.
