The two followed the direction indicated by the compass and came to the mountain west of the town.
As soon as we entered the forest, we felt the evil spirit became stronger.
The evil spirit hovered in the forest, feeling a bit restless, as if it had sensed that someone had invaded its territory.
The further we went, the more the compass needle began to shake, no longer pointing firmly in the same direction as before.
In the end, it started to spin randomly.
It has absolutely no effect.
Mo Qin put away the compass and said, "The monster should be here. The compass can't point us in the direction. From now on, we can only find it ourselves."
"Fellow Daoist Yu, should we act separately, or..."
Bai Yu said without hesitation: "Let's go together. The demonic energy here is very strong. It's safer if we act together."
Bang--
Just as the two were about to take action, a loud noise suddenly came from not far away.
The two looked in that direction.
I saw a huge black python fighting with a man.
The python seemed to be angry. It swept its tail and the dense forest that originally covered the sky fell down.
The tail hit the rocks nearby, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Bai Yu's face was solemn, obviously he didn't expect that someone had already got there first.
The man gradually lost the upper hand in the fight with the python.
Bai Yu was about to step forward to help, but when he remembered his purpose, he stopped abruptly.
The man had obviously discovered Mo Qin and Bai Yu. He was shouting while dodging the python's attack.
"Two fellow Taoists, could you please come up and lend a hand?"
"This monster is really difficult to deal with!"
Mo Qin didn't hesitate and flew towards the snake and the man, with a sharp sword shining with cold light appearing in his hand.
Soon the two men started fighting with the snake and they gained the upper hand.
Dozens of ice cones condensed in the air and stabbed towards the madly swinging snake.
The snake dodged several times nimbly and thought it was over, but when it turned its head, it found two thicker ice blades piercing towards its eyes.
Chi——
The ice blade pierced its eyes, and its defense was instantly broken.
The man seized the opportunity and cut off the snake's head with his sword.
The snake's body twisted in pain a few times, then fell to the ground with a bang.
The man pinched a blue flame from his fingertips and threw it at the snake corpse.
The flames exploded when they touched the snake's body, and within a few breaths the giant python was burned to ashes.
Bai Yu was too late to stop it, and only burnt ashes were left on the ground.
He was furious. "Fellow Daoist, do you know the value of that snake corpse? Why did you burn it directly?"
The man looked at Bai Yu in confusion, "Isn't this the snake demon that brought disaster to the people? If we don't kill it, are we just waiting for it to resurrect in the same place?"
Bai Yu: “…”
The man ignored Bai Yu's ugly expression and turned to thank Mo Qin, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. May I know your name?"
Mo Qin returned the greeting, "I don't have a name, I believe in admiration, so just call me Admiration Fellow."
"Fellow Daoist, nice to meet you. May I ask if you two are going out for training? If you don't mind, may I go with you?"
Mo Qin was stunned and felt that the scene looked familiar.
The man said, "My last name is Chang Qing. I was able to kill this demonic snake with the help of Daoist Friend Mu. Immortal cultivators believe in cause and effect. Daoist Friend Mu helped me, and that's the cause. I must repay this favor."
So two people came out and when they returned they became three.
Bai Yu was in a very bad mood because the snake he had raised for so long to use as medicine was gone.
He was feeling depressed for half the time before he remembered what happened just now. He looked at Mo Qin with a sharp gaze:
"Does the seeker have ice spiritual roots?"
"Ah? That's right."
Bai Yu continued to probe, "I also know someone with ice spiritual roots, who is somewhat similar to you, fellow Taoist."
Mo Qin nodded nonchalantly, "Ice Spiritual Roots aren't rare, but it's strange that I haven't seen them before."
There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Bai Yu just felt that something was not right.
"Fellow Daoist Mu has already reached the Golden Core stage, but he still doesn't have his own natal sword?"
Although the sword she used just now was not particularly bad, it could be bought as long as one had money.
There was a hint of strangeness in Mo Qin's gaze towards Bai Yu:
"I'm just here to look for you! But Fellow Daoist Yu seems quite curious about my affairs."
Bai Yu realized that he was acting too hastily.
"Sorry, I'm just curious."
Mo Qin seemed a little angry at Bai Yu's offense and said coldly:
"Oh, curiosity is a good thing, but if you are too curious, it will only backfire."
Bai Yu's heart sank. Was he being taught a lesson by a wild girl who came from nowhere?
This feeling is really unpleasant.
It was obvious that everything this seeker did was reasonable, but it was too reasonable, which always made him suspicious.
When the three of them returned to the inn, the sun had already risen.
Yi Mengqi was sitting in the lobby of the inn, with a few people whispering around her.
"Alas, these cultivators never know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is."
"He hasn't come back yet, so he's probably gone!"
"It's just a pity for this beautiful girl to be left here alone."
Yi Mengqi slammed the table, "What nonsense are you talking about? My master... my senior brother is so powerful, how could he be in trouble?!"
Everyone fell silent, and their sympathetic eyes fell on Yi Mengqi.
It was as if she was dreaming some unrealistic dream.
A group of ordinary people living in a small town targeted by monsters, instead of sympathizing with themselves, actually sympathized with a monk.
Yi Mengqi looked outside the street and her eyes lit up when she saw Bai Yu.
She ran over a few steps, threw herself into Bai Yu's arms, and hung her whole body on his neck.
