“Don’t provoke it . You will get into trouble,” the man said coldly, as someone who had experienced it before .
Ming Shu clicked her tongue . “Why can’t I say the truth?”
The man: “…”
The sword stood erect in the pool . Waves started to form around it .
“Oh no . ”
The man was tied up so he could only jumped toward the door in a funny stance .
Senior Brother Ling looked at the pool . A whirlpool had formed .
The reiki in the air seemed to be sucked into the whirlpool .
Senior Brother Ling carried the unconscious disciple on his back and shouted at the two other disciples who were frozen in shock to start running .
The man started to lag behind as he could only hop .
He was so angry his face turned hideous .
He heard the sound of water splashing behind him and a chill ran down his spine . He had such experiences before . The sword seldom reacted so violently . He scolded it everyday, but it didn’t give him any reaction most of the time .
The water in the pool splashed out and formed water swords in the air .
Numerous water swords shot out in all directions from the pool .
Most of them were aimed at Ming Shu .
“Close the door . Hurry up and close the door!!”
The man hopped out of the courtyard and fell onto the ground . He ate a mouthful of soil before raising his head and shouting at the people beside him .
Boom!
The door closed . The water swords slammed against the door, but didn’t penetrate .
Ming Shu had jumped down the wall too .
The courtyard was in an uproar .
However, the water swords didn’t leave the courtyard .
The sword couldn’t leave the courtyard so the effects of its attack were limited to the courtyard too .
This was what the man concluded after many years of experience .
The sword threw a tantrum for a long time . After the sounds died down, Ming Shu climbed onto the wall again and peeked in . The sword was lying in the pool . The surroundings were not damaged . It looked the same as before .
“It is getting dark . ”
Ming Shu walked around the corner and heard the man saying this weird sentence .
The child shivered in fear too . He reminded Ming Shu, “You better find a place to hide . ”
When the sky turned dark, the hidden paradise turned into hell .
The noises outside didn’t stop at all . Occasionally, black shadows would fly past the window and shrill screams would pierce the air .
Even the man didn’t know what those things were . Whatever they were, just don’t go out at night .
If you did, you would die .
Ming Shu felt that these things were really interesting . Their aura was similar to hers .
They should be some kind of devil too .
She didn’t expect this place that was filled with reiki to be dominated by devils at night .
This place is really strange .
[Time-limit task: Save the female protagonist . The time limit is half an hour . The time starts now . ]
This was the first time the Harmony System gave a mission so quickly .
By the time Ming Shu finished listening to it, the countdown had already started .
Where am I supposed to go to save her?
The Harmony System gave Ming Shu a map .
However, it was really abstract .
On a white piece of paper, a wavy line connected the starting point and the end point .
That was it .
There was nothing she could use as a reference .
Ming Shu stood at the door and observed for a moment . No black shadows flew past her again . She opened the door and went out .
The people from the Wuji Sword Sect were in the room beside her . When she opened her door, they opened theirs too .
“I heard Junior Sister Fang Wan’s voice just now…”
The other party looked at Ming Shu vigilantly .
Ming Shu turned and walked in the direction shown on the map .
Before she took two steps, a black shadow attacked her . It was really fast so she couldn’t dodge it at all .
Ming Shu reached out her hand and grabbed it .
She touched a ball of black . There was nothing else there .
The black shadow flew through her hand and struck her face .
Then, it passed through her body too and slammed into the door behind her .
The black shadow turned around . “Pfft!”
Ming Shu: “…”
What did this thing just hit? Is he giving me the cold-shoulder? Who gave you the courage to do that!
Who!
How dare you spit at me!
She grabbed the black shadow again . The shadow didn’t move . It felt certain that Ming Shu would not be able to catch it .
“Urgh—!”
The black shadow let out a shrill scream of pain .
The people behind them saw Ming Shu holding a black shadow in her hand the moment they caught up with her .
“Do you still dare to spit at me?”
“Urgh…” We are the same . There is no need to treat your family so badly .
Ming Shu squeezed her hand tighter .
“Urgh…” The black shadow’s voice got weaker . Please have mercy on me . I was blind to not recognize you .
Ming Shu let go of the black shadow . The black shadow immediately disappeared into the darkness .
“What is that?” the disciple beside Senior Brother Ling asked Ming Shu .
“I don’t know . It can’t be eaten . ” Ming Shu continued walking forward .
The black shadow that was hiding in the dark: “…” Urgh, urgh, demonic cultivators are so irritating . I can’t eat them .
They were from the same family and by right, they were unable to touch them . However, the lady just now managed to catch it .
The disciple looked at Senior Brother Ling .
Senior Brother Ling shook his head .
That should be one of those things that came out at night . The man said that it was not difficult to defeat them if they fought one-on-one with them .
However, their number was large and they would always appear suddenly . Once you got surrounded by them, there was no way you would be able to escape .
The map that the Harmony System drew was really abstract, but luckily, the dot that represented her location on the map moved as she moved .
But…
The people behind Ming Shu saw her walking on pavement and then turning back again . Then she would take another route and came back again after a while .
Why are there so many forked roads over here?
The black shadows that Ming Shu met didn’t dare to attack her . They went around her .
She couldn’t be eaten so if they didn’t dodge her, they would be caught by her and tormented .
Ming Shu followed the map and she ended up at…
What?
Isn’t this the courtyard where the bad-tempered sword is?
“Senior Brother, hold on just a little while longer . I am almost done with my drawing . ”
“Ahh…”
“Senior Brother!”
The sounds that came from the courtyard was really piercing to the ear .
Ming Shu pushed the door and went in .
Squeak—
There were numerous black shadows in the air attacking the people beside the pool .
When Ming Shu went in, the courtyard suddenly became quiet .
The black shadows shifted their attention and looked at her .
The people by the pool saw Ming Shu, but the light was dim so they didn’t see her face .
“Urgh, urgh…”
A portion of the black shadows flew toward Ming Shu .
They wanted to attack her .
However, every one of them just passed through her body .
“Pfft!”
“Pfft!”
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows . Is this their tradition?
Ming Shu grabbed one black shadow and slammed it on the ground . The rest of the black shadows moved back simultaneously . “If you all don’t leave now, I will kill you . ”
The black shadow army didn’t expect Ming Shu to be able to touch them . They looked at the people standing by the pool .
The black shadows communicated with one another and left unwillingly .
“Wait!”
“Urgh, urgh…” What else do you want? We have even left you with the food!
Surprisingly, Ming Shu understood them .
“Take that person away . ” Ming Shu pointed at Fang Wan .
Fang Qi recognized Ming Shu’s voice and shouted at her loudly . “July, are you trying to team up with these things to attack us?”
Everyone at the scene, including the female protagonist, heard what she said .
The devil girl that took the Yi Xie sword?
“Don’t be nervous . I will not do anything to you all . ” Ming Shu’s voice rose in the night . There was something special about her voice that made everyone forget about the situation they were in . “I just want to do something to you . ”
Fang Wan: “…” What did she say?
The black shadow army didn’t think so much .
“Urgh, urgh?” For us?
“Yes . Hurry up and take her before I regret it . ”
