At the moment when Zhang Yan was about to turn away, he saw the waiter of the inn in the town and go over to ask, "Who is that old martial arts master? So powerful!"
The waiter casted a look at Zhang Yan and replied with a gentle smile, "He is the guardian of this town with an unknown cultivation level to me, as well as the one who protects this town from the invasions of the ghosts again and again."
"But it seemed to be a tentative siege today, otherwise the ghosts wouldn't leave so early!"
"Tentative? But there were so many small ghosts just now!" .
With a nod, the waiter continued, "Yes, it was! Though the quantity of the small ghosts was large today, it was not a big threat for us! What we are afraid of are the ghost kings! Once, a dozen ghost kings have made a fierce attack to us, and it was the guardian who defeated them, saving us out of danger! Since then, the ghosts have known the powerful strength of our guardian and dared not to start fights rashly."
"But they would make tentative attacks from time to time to see if the guardian was in the town or not. And once he came out, they would quickly retreat."
"There was a time when the guardian was not in the town, which was taken advantage of by the ghosts to besiege us. It was the most bitter battle that I have ever seen in my life, lasting fifteen days, in which decades of kung fu masters in the town have died. In the end only when the guardian came back, did he drive all the ghosts away!" The waiter fell into the memories.
Zhang Yan sighed, "It seems that the ghost kings hold the intelligence no weaker than that of us warriors!"
They two backed to the inn. Zhang Yan dared not leave the town at this moment since the attack of the ghosts just ended. He had been in the town for three days, and on the fourth day, worried about Fatty's weaker and weaker soul, he decided to head for the Baodu Mountain immediately regardless of the risks outside.
Packing his belongs up, he got out of the town under the confusing sight of the two gate guards.
After Zhang Yan had disappeared in their eyes, they looked at each other and puzzled, "Is he stupid? Or crazy? Walking alone in the Huangquan Road's night! Is he looking for death?!"
"Who knows! He doesn't look like a normal person, and I guess he can't live a day."
"A day? It's good luck for him to live four hours! You know what the night means in the Huangquan Road, don't you?"
Zhang Yan also understood the extreme danger of the night in the Huangquan Road from the Anti-Soul Beast. The night would wake up some sleeping monsters in the road, in addition to the ghosts, the road would fell into the most dangerous moment.
However, no risks would prevent him from saving Fatty's life. Four hours later, he encountered a group of small ghosts and killed them all easily.
After that, the good luck seemed to accompany him always, and he had not met any enemies for five days. Nevertheless, Zhang Yan didn't consider it a good fate, but perceived something bad was about to happen.
He began to explore with his soul energy, but found nothing, comforting himself, "Maybe I think too much. Don't be scared!"
The dangerous message became more and more strong yet, and he felt like something had been following and staring at himself for a long time. Stopping moving ahead, he evoked the Purifying Lotus, "Check it for me! Is there something pursuing me?"
The lotus emitted its energy out, but still discovered nothing around.
Zhang Yan wondered, "It's really that I'm too nervous? But this feeling is indeed strong!"
In fact, it was his spiritual root that sent him the message that someone was trying to attack him.
Sure enough, all of a sudden, a gust of chill wind greeted him, carrying treat-to-life messages.
