After resolving the village's affairs, Mo Qian took Xiao Bai and headed north towards the Western Continent.
Finally, they stopped at a city.
In the original owner's memories, in the previous life, this place was the last place to be used as a source of sustenance for the demons.
As Mo Qian walked through the city gate, she saw a bustling market scene.
There was no trace of the desolate and eerie scene that followed.
"Master, there seems to be nothing unusual here," Xiaobai said slowly after checking.
"Hmm, they probably haven't made a move yet."
"Let's rest for a while and then investigate tonight." Mo Qian then walked into an inn.
"Is this fairy here for a quick bite or a meal?" The waiter's eyes gleamed as he saw Mo Qian enter.
"Arrange a room for me."
"Alright, fairy." Then, Mo Qian settled down under the guidance of the waiter.
"Has anything major happened in the city lately?" Mo Qian asked the waiter after sitting down in the chair.
"Fairy, there's something big going on in the city lately: the Ghost Festival temple fair will be held in three days."
"The whole city will come out to celebrate."
The waiter's eyes gleamed with anticipation as he spoke.
"The Ghost Festival?" Mo Qian looked puzzled.
"My fairy, you may not know this, but the Zhongyuan Temple Fair is held every five years. You've come at the perfect time to participate in this fair."
"At that time, you will not only be able to see the Goddess Zhongyuan, but also have the opportunity to receive holy water as a gift from her."
"I've heard that holy water is a rare and precious thing; if mortals obtain it, it can prolong their lifespan."
"If a cultivator obtains it, they can also improve their cultivation level."
"That's why a lot of cultivators have come to the city recently. Mortals are also rushing over, just to try their luck."
The waiter explained in detail.
There was still a hint of longing on his face.
"Okay, I understand. Here's your tip. You can go now." Mo Qian then tossed a low-grade spirit stone to the waiter and said.
"Thank you, fairy." The waiter accepted the spirit stone with a look of joy on his face, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.
Then he closed the door and left.
"Master, Master, it seems this Ghost Festival fair is no ordinary event," Xiao Bai commented after listening to the conversation.
"Hmm, we'll find out then." A glint of light flashed in Mo Qian's eyes.
“Master, there was a problem here in the previous life. There was something fishy about the City Lord’s Mansion!” Xiao Bai pointed directly to the key point.
"If the city lord had been there to oversee things, the situation that followed would not have occurred."
"Tonight, we'll sneak into the City Lord's Mansion!" Mo Qian said with a serious expression.
late at night,
Dressed in black, Mo Qian flew towards the location of the City Lord's Mansion after leaving the inn.
As they approached the city lord's mansion, they concealed themselves using magical artifacts.
Then, they secretly entered the city lord's mansion.
Upon entering the city lord's mansion, they naturally encountered a protective array.
However, because of Xiaobai, they can ignore any rules or boundaries.
Therefore, Mo Qian did not alert anyone when she entered the city lord's mansion.
Then, turning left and right, Mo Qian unknowingly arrived at the study.
As she approached the study, she saw a figure inside, so Mo Qian cautiously moved closer.
After using several more magical artifacts on himself, he approached the door of the study.
"Is everything arranged?" a gloomy voice asked.
"Rest assured, sir, everything will proceed according to plan."
"That's good. We must ensure that this matter is handled flawlessly!"
"Otherwise, I can't protect you either! You know the consequences!"
"Yes, sir, I will definitely handle it well."
...
Mo Qian carefully probed for information inside.
"Master, something's not right inside."
"What's wrong?"
Mo Qian asked seriously, but because she was worried about alerting those inside, she did not use her divine sense.
"Master, there is a person inside wearing a black cloak; he is a demon!"
"As for the city lord himself, something seems off about him too!"
"I sensed demonic energy on the city lord!" Xiao Bai said with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Mo Qian frowned deeply.
The city lord is emanating demonic energy; this is not a good sign.
Just as Mo Qian was pondering, another sound came from inside the house.
"Alright, just do your job well, and you'll be rewarded when it's done."
"Yes, sir." The city lord's voice was tinged with excitement.
Then, the black-clad demons disappeared.
After the man disappeared, the city lord walked to a bookshelf in the study.
Slowly turn the switch.
Soon, a hidden door appeared in the study.
Then, the city lord went inside.
Seeing this, Mo Qian rushed in just as the hidden door was about to close.
Then, following the city lord at a distance, they walked inside.
As we ventured deeper into the area, our view gradually opened up.
Then, the city lord entered a cave dwelling, which was filled with an eerie atmosphere.
Inside the cave, cultivators were bound and hung on the walls.
His face showed extreme pain.
The city lord was unmoved by the scene.
On the contrary, it brought a sense of pleasure.
"Release us immediately!"
"You, a first-rank city lord, actually associate with the demons!"
"I am a disciple of the Qingfeng Sect! Release me now, or the sect will not forgive you!"
"You despicable and shameless scoundrel!"
...
After the city lord appeared, those who had been captured shouted angrily.
Upon hearing this, the city lord merely gave a cold laugh.
Then, they captured the one who was shouting the loudest.
"You...you must let me go!" The male cultivator exclaimed in terror.
"Stop struggling. It's your honor to be nourishment for my cultivation!" After saying that, the city lord opened his mouth and bit the male cultivator's neck, sucking his spiritual blood.
