Chapter 207 This isn’t your real name, is it?

Xiao Bai's eyes flashed with cold light, and she instinctively mobilized her divine power. At this moment, the restless power in her body suddenly got out of control, and a divine light burst out from her palm.

"boom……"

Yan Shuo was knocked back several steps, his chest was charred. The market suddenly became quiet, and all eyes were focused on him.

"The God Clan is a pure-blooded God Clan."

"Why is she not bound by the Tianyao Mark?"

"Report to the patrol."

Amid the noise, Yan Shuo laughed grimly: "Interesting. He's the first person in three hundred years who dared to take action in Fan Wujiu's territory."

His palms ignited with blue flames, "Brothers, take her down."

Three demons pounced at the same time, and Xiaobai only had time to push Taohua away.

She knew she was in trouble. Using divine power to attack in this peaceful market undoubtedly violated the rules set by the mysterious being.

Just as the flame was about to touch Xiaobai, a clear voice rang out:

"Hey guys, isn't it not good to bully children?"

A green sword light appeared out of nowhere, passing in front of the three demons like a swimming dragon. The flames on their bodies were extinguished instantly, and they retreated seven or eight steps before they could stabilize their bodies.

Xiaobai looked up and saw a young man in an indigo robe standing in front of him.

He held a wooden sword in his hand. The sword had no edge, but it exuded an aura that made the demons fearful.

The man turned around and winked at Xiao Bai: "Are you okay, little girl?"

He has a handsome face, picturesque features, and the most eye-catching feature is the teardrop mole under his left eye, which adds a touch of romantic charm.

The golden symbol on the top of his head displayed the words "Human Race - Sword Cultivator", but Xiaobai keenly noticed that there was a slight sense of disharmony in the rune.

"Minding other people's business, you humans just like to meddle in other people's business, damn it." Yan Shuo roared, "She started it first, do you understand?"

"Really?" The man chuckled, "But what I saw were three adult demons surrounding two young children." He tapped the ground with his wooden sword, and a circle of green ripples spread out. "How about we go to the patrol team to discuss this?"

Hearing the word "patrol", the demon's face changed. Yan Shuo glared at Xiao Bai fiercely and said, "You are lucky today. Let's go."

The three of them left in a hurry, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.

The man then turned around and squatted, looking Xiaobai in the eye: "I am Liu Wuchen, a casual cultivator.

What do you call the little girl?

"Bai...Bai Li." Xiaobai answered cautiously, and at the same time secretly explored the other party's cultivation, but found that it was like looking at flowers in the fog, elusive.

Taohua rushed over and hugged Xiaobai: "Sister, are you okay? I was scared to death."

She turned to Liu Wuchen and bowed politely, "Thank you, Senior Liu, for your help."

"It's just a small favor." Liu Wuchen smiled and waved his hand, but his eyes stayed on Xiaobai, thinking, "Little girl, you look unfamiliar, have you just come to our world?"

Xiao Bai's heart tightened, but he didn't show it on his face: "I was traveling with my family and got separated. I was injured and secluded for a while."

"I see." Liu Wuchen nodded, and suddenly lowered his voice, "It's best not to show the power that the young lady used just now. Although Lord Fan is generous, the laws of heaven cannot be violated."

Xiaobai's purple eyes narrowed: "You..."

"I'm just a nosy swordsman." Liu Wuchen stood up and took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Taohua, "This is the honey dew that calms the mind. It will calm you down, little girl."

Taohua took the jade bottle and asked curiously, "Is Senior Liu here to participate in the auction of Yuehua Grass?"

Moonlight grass, Xiaobai's ears stood up.

Liu Wuchen smiled and said, “That’s right.

However, I heard that the output this year was small and all of it was offered as tribute to Mount Buzhou.

I plan to try my luck in Moonshadow Valley on my own."

Xiaobai immediately seized the opportunity: "I...I also need Moonlight Grass."

"Oh?" Liu Wuchen raised his eyebrows. "Miss Bai is so young, what use does she have for the Moonlight Grass?"

"My brother...my brother needs to refine a mind-concentrating pill." Xiaobai made up an excuse on the spot.

Liu Wuchen pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "In that case, why don't we travel together? Moon Shadow Valley has been in turmoil recently, with guardian beasts appearing everywhere. More people means more care."

Taohua hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, Grandpa said that Moon Shadow Valley is very dangerous now, even ghost cultivators dare not go in alone."

Xiaobai's heart moved.

This might be an opportunity to both obtain the Moonlight Grass and explore the background of this mysterious swordsman.

"Okay, let's go together. It's okay Taohua, you have to trust us. You just wait for me here, I will be back in a few days." Xiaobai made the decision.

An imperceptible golden light flashed in Liu Wuchen's eyes, and the corners of his lips slightly raised: "Gather at the East City Gate at noon tomorrow."

The next morning, Xiaobai made the excuse of going to buy candy men to send Taohua away, and came to the East City Gate alone because she was afraid that Taohua would go with her and did not want to implicate Taohua.

She has returned to her girlish form, with her silver hair tied into a high ponytail and a white dress as white as snow.

Liu Wuchen had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Xiaobai coming, his eyes flashed with surprise: "Has Miss Bai grown up today?"

Xiao Bai remained calm and said, "Yesterday's spiritual power was disturbed."

Liu Wuchen nodded in understanding and didn't ask any more questions.

He handed Xiaobai a package and said, "I have prepared some dry food and medicine. Moon Shadow Valley is full of poisonous miasma, so we need to be prepared."

The two headed eastward, passing through the dense forest of spiritual trees. As the altitude increased, a lavender mist began to float in the air.

"Be careful, this miasma can corrode your spiritual power." Liu Wuchen took out a green pill and asked Xiaobai to hold it under his tongue. "My improved anti-poison pill is three times more effective than the ones on the market."

As the pill enters your mouth, a cool feeling flows through your body.

Xiaobai was secretly surprised that the method of refining this pill actually had some shadows of the secret techniques of the gods, and the taste was almost the same as the one refined by his third senior brother Nanning Wentian. It was so strange.

After passing through the poisonous miasma area, the view suddenly opened up and a deep valley surrounded by craters appeared in front of us. In the valley grew large patches of silver-blue spiritual herbs, swaying in the breeze.

"Moonlight Grass." Xiaobai ran forward happily.

"Wait." Liu Wuchen suddenly pulled her back, "Something's wrong..."

Before he finished speaking, the ground shook violently. The moon grass in the center of the valley suddenly parted to the sides, and a huge monster broke out of the ground.

It was a giant silver-white snake with coral-like jade horns on its head, and its emerald green pupils stared coldly at the intruder. The most frightening thing was that it was wrapped with golden runes that were the same as the Tianyao Seal.

"The guardian beast is Bai Yan." Liu Wuchen's face was solemn. "Why is it here? It usually only appears on full moon nights. It's strange."

The giant snake hissed and opened its mouth to spurt out a silver beam of light.

Liu Wuchen hugged Xiaobai and flew into the air, and a deep pit was blasted out on the ground where he was standing.

"Hold on to me." Liu Wuchen held Xiaobai in one hand and fought with the sword in the other. The wooden sword in his hand glowed with dazzling green light, colliding violently with the silver light of Bai Yan.

Xiaobai was protected in Liu Wuchen's arms and could clearly feel the warmth from his chest and the faint pine scent on his body. This feeling of being protected was surprisingly familiar.

The battle became more intense, Bai Yan seemed to be enraged, and his jade horn began to gather terrifying spiritual power. Liu Wuchen frowned, and suddenly pushed Xiao Bai to a safe place: "Hide well."

He formed seals with both hands, and a pressure far beyond that of a human cultivator erupted from his body. A golden formation unfolded under his feet, resonating with the runes on Bai Yan's body.

The giant snake suddenly stopped attacking and looked at Liu Wuchen in confusion.

At this moment, Xiao Bai discovered that on the rock wall not far away, several particularly bright moon grasses were glowing. While Liu Wuchen and Bai Yan were confronting each other, she quietly moved over there.

Just as she was about to touch the Moon Grass, the rock wall suddenly cracked and a second white stream suddenly jumped out.

"Xiaobai, be careful!" Liu Wuchen exclaimed, and even blurted out her real name.

At the critical moment, his figure was as fast as lightning, breaking through the space limitations and appearing directly in front of Xiaobai.

A golden barrier unfolded, blocking Bai Yan's fatal blow.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Liu Wuchen's mouth, but he still forced a smile: "Are you okay?"

Xiaobai looked at him in shock: "Who... who are you?"

Liu Wuchen did not answer, but took out a bronze token from his arms and showed it to the two white horses.

When the giant snake saw the token, it lowered its head respectfully and slowly retreated back underground.

"This is..." Xiaobai stared at the token engraved with the words "Tianlu".

"It was an accidental discovery." Liu Wuchen quickly put away the token and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Let's pick the Moonlight Grass and leave. This method won't last long."

Xiao Bai was skeptical, but now was not the time to ask. The two quickly collected a dozen of the best quality Moonlight Grass and hurriedly left Moon Shadow Valley.

On the way back, Xiaobai remained silent.

It was not until she saw the city gate that she spoke: "Liu Wuchen is not your real name, right?"

The man paused for a moment, and when he turned back, his peach blossom eyes were filled with a mysterious golden light: "The name is just a code name. The important thing is..." He suddenly leaned close to Xiaobai's ear and whispered, "I know the secret of your power collapse, and I also know how to solve it."

Xiaobai's whole body trembled, his purple eyes full of surprise.

"See you at Jingling Spring at noon tomorrow." After Liu Wuchen finished speaking, his figure dissipated into the air like bubbles, leaving only a ray of golden light entwined around Xiaobai's fingertips.

In the distance, on the top of Buzhou Mountain, on the top of the Cloud Palace, Fan Wujiu stood with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of Xiaobai and chuckled: "Finally I'm back. Xiaobai hopes that you can live well in this life."
