When Mu Qing and the other person returned to Lost Soul Town, it was already the morning of the next day.
At this moment, Ouyang Heshun was already waiting in Zuixianlou.
They had agreed beforehand to go their separate ways and then meet up in the main hall of Zuixianlou.
Following notifications from the news office and the city lord's mansion, the townspeople received the message yesterday that they should gather in town today.
Now, the people and cultivators of Lost Soul Town have all gathered in the town, on the square of the arena in the city.
The common people and cultivators thought that some kind of competition was going to be held in the city, and the city lord had asked them to come and watch.
Many young people were excited and found seats on the viewing platform, chatting enthusiastically with acquaintances, completely unaware of the abnormality in their own bodies.
Some people with children or elderly relatives who were in a coma were unwilling to come.
The guards from the city lord's mansion brought over the family members who had been in a coma.
On the viewing platform, there is a designated area for unconscious civilians and their families, located near the fighting arena.
A few civilians and astute cultivators realized that the city lord might be planning something more than just inviting them to watch the battle.
City Lord Wang Boya did not offer any further explanation.
He was waiting, waiting for Mu Qing and the others to bring the Soul-Stabilizing Grass before telling everyone the whole story.
Informing everyone beforehand, when we haven't even obtained the Soul-Stabilizing Grass yet, will only cause panic and will bring no benefit whatsoever.
It's better to keep it a secret for now.
Wang Boya glanced at Jian Wuqing, who stood with his sword in his arms, exuding a cool and aloof air, and then at Mo Heyu, whose gentle features were waving a feather fan.
He reflexively turned towards Mo and Yu, and asked with some worry, "Senior Mo, when will the senior who went to retrieve the Soul-Stabilizing Grass arrive?"
"The city's residents and cultivators have all gathered here."
“If we leave them here for a long time without any explanation, I’m worried they might cause trouble.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than a guard came to report that the family members of a person who had fainted were making a scene and demanding to take the person home.
Wang Boya turned around and instructed, "First, calm them down. Everyone stay here and don't leave."
The guards accepted the order and left.
Mo Heyu glanced at the entrance of the arena and said, "He Shun has already gone to Zuixianlou to wait for someone."
"Let's wait another fifteen minutes."
"If Ouyang Heshun and the others haven't arrived by 15 minutes, inform everyone about the situation in the city."
"Whether to wait here or go back is up to each person to decide."
Wang Boya hesitated for a moment and said, "This..."
Mo Heyu: "Lord Wang, there is no need to worry."
“This matter is directly related to them, and there is nothing wrong with telling them the truth.”
"As for their final decision to stay or leave, whether they believe or not, whether they seek treatment or depart, it is all their own freedom. All causes and effects cannot be forced."
Upon hearing this, Lord Wang nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."
In the short time it took for the two to exchange a few words, Ouyang Heshun had already led Mu Qing and Murong Yu to the entrance of the arena.
Mo Heyu smiled and patted Lord Wang's shoulder, saying, "The people have arrived."
Following Mo Heyu's gaze, Lord Wang saw Ouyang Heshun, who had been with Mo Heyu and the others, leading two extraordinary-looking men over.
One of them was dressed in black, tall and strong, with sharp features, like a sword with restrained brilliance, exuding a formidable aura.
The other person had gentle features and a delicate face, like a bright moon, and also possessed an outstanding temperament.
