Majia Village.
The sun set behind the mountains, and night slowly engulfed the land.
"A ghost!"
The constables were so frightened that they shrank behind Mo Xie.
"There are no ghosts..."
Magistrate Zhu suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and the cold, yin energy he inhaled and exhaled was bone-chilling.
He shivered and slowly turned his head away.
All I saw was...
A red-clad female ghost, her hair disheveled and weeping blood and tears, stood silently behind him.
Those jet-black pupils were staring at him without blinking.
"Wow, a ghost..."
Magistrate Zhu let out a scream and rolled to the ground like a ball.
He watched as the female ghost drifted slowly toward him.
He scrambled to Mo Xie's side, grabbed her legs, and cried out, "Young hero, save me! Young hero, save me..."
The female ghost in red is naturally Xiaoqian.
Mo Xie nodded to Xiao Qian secretly, then took out a copper bell from his treasure pouch (Note: a low-end version of the Qiankun Bag).
He rang the bell and shouted, "You wretched creature, before me, why don't you submit to my wrath at once!"
"ah!"
Xiaoqian rolled her eyes at Moxie, then let out a slightly exaggerated scream before being taken into the Soul-Summoning Bell.
Mo Xie put the bell into her treasure pouch, winked at Fa Lan, and mouthed, "Done!"
Fa Lan blinked her bewildered eyes, as if to say, "This is acceptable?"
Mo Xie shook her foot and said calmly, "Alright, get up!"
Magistrate Zhu looked behind him tremblingly, "Where...where is the ghost?"
Mo Xie said, "Naturally, I suppressed it."
Magistrate Zhu let out a long sigh of relief, collapsing to the ground. "Are you all dead? Hurry up and help me up!"
A group of constables quickly composed themselves and helped Magistrate Zhu up.
As they helped her up, they looked at Mo Xie with admiration and said:
"My lord, we saw it with our own eyes! This young hero is truly skilled!"
"Yes, yes, young hero, with just one move, even the dead woman's ghost was subdued!"
"Young hero, you are truly a reclusive master!"
"..."
Magistrate Zhu, patting his belly, composed himself and said with a serious expression, "Do you even need to tell me?!"
When he looked at Mo Xie, his expression instantly became obsequious, "Young hero, you are naturally a reclusive master! I am but a humble man, Zhu Youcai, and I thank you for saving my life!"
"I dare not claim to be a master; I am but an ordinary mortal!" Mo Xie said calmly without elaborating further, "May we go in now?"
"After dark, it will probably be a night of a hundred ghosts!" - Zhu Youcai recalled Mo Xie's words.
He shivered and almost collapsed to the ground. "What you said earlier, young hero... about the parade of a hundred ghosts, is that true?"
Mo Xie said, "Seeing is believing, don't you still not believe me?"
Zhu Youcai swallowed hard and said repeatedly, "Of course not, of course not... What if it were a hundred ghosts walking at night?"
Fa Lan said, "Ghosts kill people they see, and those who kill people will turn into ghosts themselves. As a result, the area within a thousand miles will naturally become a ghost realm where not a single living person remains!"
"Ghost...Ghost Realm?!" Zhu Youren wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, knelt down with a thud, and cried out, "Please, young hero, save us...save the lives of tens of thousands of people in Wheat City!"
At the same time, he gave a wink to the group of constables.
"Please, young hero, save us!" The constables immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
Mo Xie said calmly, "I have come here naturally to eliminate this calamity, so you can rest assured..."
“Young Master…” Fa Lan tugged at Mo Xie’s sleeve, her tone extremely solemn.
Mo Xie stopped pretending and looked ahead, then gasped in surprise.
Suddenly, a gloomy white mist rose from the village ahead.
And within that white mist... were trembling human figures.
"There's no time!"
Moye quickly shouted, "Get out of here!"
"What?" Zhu Youcai was taken aback.
"The Night Parade of a Hundred Demons is about to begin!"
"ah?"
Zhu Youcai quickly scrambled to his feet and said hastily, "In that case, we mortals will not disturb the young hero's important business any longer... Let's go!"
Mo Xie shouted, "By the way, go back and inform the nearby military camps to surround this village and make sure no outsiders are allowed in!"
Zhu Youcai knew the matter was of great importance, and suppressing his fear, he solemnly replied, "Yes!"
Then he hurriedly left with a group of constables.
...
"Let's go..."
Before Mo Xie could finish speaking, he realized that the little Taoist nun beside him had disappeared.
Looking ahead, I saw that the girl was already carrying the magic weapon and was hurrying towards the village.
It disappeared into the white mist in no time.
That petite figure even had a touch of the spirit of "I will go even if there are thousands of people against me"...
"This little Taoist nun... she's really adorable!"
Mo Xie shook his head and chuckled, then followed closely behind.
As he charged, he drew the demonic sword he was carrying on his shoulder.
He bit his finger with his teeth, then smeared it across the magic sword.
"Huh? Wasn't my goal to kill the protagonist?"
"What do I care about the suffering and destruction of people?"
Halfway there, Mo Xie suddenly realized that his actions were not in line with the behavior expected of a major villain.
"Could it be that I've been spending too much time with that stupid Taoist nun and I've been assimilated?"
This guy simply doesn't admit that he actually has a bit of a good person in him at heart.
"This cultivation world is bound to be a dark and turbulent one!"
"Since the protagonist is a villain who slaughters everything, it's probably reasonable for me, as a villain, to act as a chivalrous 'saintly' person, right?"
