And so, over the next three days, Mo Qian and Xiao Bai wandered around the city.
They looked extremely relaxed, but they were secretly gathering information.
The most common thing I heard from the inquiries was the Ghost Festival temple fair three days later.
Upon overhearing that the cultivators who obtained the holy water would disappear, a thoughtful expression flashed across Mo Qian's face.
It seems the focus is on the Ghost Festival.
Three days later
The already bustling city became even more lively with the arrival of numerous cultivators.
Because of the once-every-five-years Ghost Festival temple fair, all the merchants in the city stopped their business and came out to celebrate the fair.
It was quite lively for a while.
"Wow, so many people! Look at those people in temple robes, they look so majestic."
"Stop talking! The Goddess Zhongyuan is coming out soon!"
"Goddess Zhongyuan, holy water!"
...
Mo Qian mingled in the crowd, watching quietly.
On the day of the Ghost Festival, the whole city was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
There were also lion dances and acrobatics.
Just as everyone was on edge, a group of cultivators slowly walked over.
Behind the procession, eight monks carried a palanquin, in which sat a woman wearing a veil.
"The Goddess Zhongyuan has appeared!"
"Look, the Goddess Zhongyuan is here!"
"Great! We've seen the Zhongyuan Goddess!"
……,
The atmosphere reached its climax with the appearance of the Goddess of the Ghost Festival.
Mo Qian glanced at the so-called Zhongyuan Goddess, a deep glint flashing in her eyes.
Then, the crowd followed the procession of the Goddess Zhongyuan and headed towards a high platform.
Upon arriving at the destination, the Goddess Zhongyuan stepped down from the sedan chair and flew onto the high platform.
He settled into a magnificent chair.
The other cultivators' eyes flashed with longing when they saw the jade bottle that Lady Zhongyuan had taken out.
The jade bottle contains holy water.
"Holy water! It's holy water!"
"Goddess Zhongyuan, choose me! Grant me holy water!"
"Choose me! Give me the holy water!"
...
The scene was chaotic.
"Quiet!" Lady Zhongyuan sent a telepathic message to the audience below.
Then, the audience fell silent.
"Those who are fortunate enough to be here today, all those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, will receive a drop of holy water," said the Goddess Zhongyuan in a gentle tone.
"Foundation Establishment, that's great! I just broke through to Foundation Establishment, and now I can get the Holy Water!"
"Ah! I'm only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, not even at the Foundation Establishment stage yet. Holy Water is out of my reach! It's a pity I didn't cultivate diligently enough!"
"What's going on this time? There are no mortals left?!"
...
Those below the Foundation Establishment stage showed joy, while the others looked troubled.
Soon, the Goddess of the Mid-Autumn Festival distributed holy water.
Every cultivator who received the holy water was invited to the city lord's mansion to participate in a banquet.
In this way, hundreds of people quickly received the holy water.
Mo Qian also mingled into the crowd. After receiving the holy water, she followed the crowd to the city lord's mansion.
"Fairy, please!" Someone was waiting at the entrance of the city lord's mansion.
After entering the city lord's mansion, Mo Qian was led to the banquet by a servant.
At this moment, apart from Mo Qian, all the other cultivators who had received the holy water were here.
Mo Qian found a secluded spot and sat down.
"Fellow cultivators, today is the Zhongyuan Temple Fair in Black Peak City. It is an honor for you all to come and participate."
"I'd like to offer a toast to everyone." After saying this, the city lord raised a cup of spirit wine and offered it to everyone.
"You're too kind, City Lord. We've been the ones who have bothered you," the cultivator sitting in the front row replied with a slight smile.
"Yes, yes, the city lord is too kind, he even hosted a banquet for us."
"To have obtained the holy water today, I have no regrets."
...
The other cultivators chimed in.
Mo Qian stayed behind the banquet, constantly observing the situation.
"Xiaobai, have you noticed anything unusual?" Mo Qian asked Xiaobai.
"Master, there's demonic energy here!"
"Oh no, there's a trapping formation here!" Xiao Bai's expression turned grim after sensing that there were prior arrangements in place at the main hall.
"What happened?" Mo Qian asked hurriedly.
“Master, when you enter the main hall, you have entered the formation.”
"Six-Wheel Yin Fiend Formation!"
Xiao Bai looked very serious.
Upon hearing this, Mo Qian's face also turned ugly.
When Mo Qian came to her senses, she found that the previously lively scene had suddenly fallen silent.
The city lord has also disappeared without a trace.
As for the other cultivators, some had already fallen from their positions, while others were struggling to hold on.
"Damn it! What's going on?!"
"Where is the city lord? Where has the city lord gone?!"
"What happened?!"
...
When a cultivator tried to break out but was blocked by the formation, his face turned very ugly.
"Damn it, we've fallen for their trap!"
"This isn't an invitation to treat us; it's a desire to kill us!"
"Damn it! I've been scammed!"
...
As the cultivators attempted to break free of the trapped formation, they cursed incessantly.
Mo Qian looked quite embarrassed upon seeing this.
"Xiao Bai, is there a solution?!" Mo Qian asked coldly.
"Master, this Six-Round Yin Sha Formation is extremely evil!"
"It not only serves to trap the enemy."
"It will also absorb the life essence of those trapped in the formation."
"The only way to break the Six-Round Yin Sha Formation is to find its core."
"The key to this Six-Round Yin Sha Formation is outside the formation itself. Only by going outside can this formation be broken," Xiao Bai said with a serious expression.
"Xiao Bai, do you think you can get out of here?" Mo Qian asked, her face serious.
"Master, I can take you into battle!"
"Let's go! Let's go outside first and talk about it." Mo Qian said quickly after hearing Xiao Bai's words.
"Okay." Then, Xiaobai led Moqian out of the Six-Round Yin Sha Formation.
After leaving the formation, Mo Qian went into hiding.
Because she didn't break the formation directly, Mo Qian didn't alert the city lord and the others after leaving the formation.
"Little White, can you sense where the array's core is?" Mo Qian asked after inspecting the City Lord's Mansion.
"Master, there seems to be some unusual activity in the southwest of the City Lord's Mansion," Xiaobai said after closing its eyes and sensing the surroundings.
Upon hearing this, Mo Qian immediately headed towards the place Xiao Bai had mentioned.
We stopped beside a deep well.
Thick smoke billowed from the deep well.
It emitted strange noises!
Upon seeing this, Mo Qian threw a magical artifact into the well!
