The Guardians: The Swordsman of the Moon

Jinshan Mountain.

Since Zhao Jin's arrival that time, two days had passed and the day of departure had finally arrived. Li Huan had already prepared the various things needed on the way. 

Mo Xian saw the horse that was going to take them was a charcoal black horse. It was a rare and hard-to-get breed of horse because it was difficult to tame, it had the ability to carry heavy items and run as fast as the wind.

Li Huan chose this horse because the journey they were about to take took quite a long time.

When everything was confirmed to be ready, Li Huan invited Li Zhou Ran and Mo Xian into the carriage. While Wu Jia Xing and Zhao Jin sat outside and were in charge of controlling the horses.

Zhao Jin jerked the Charcoal Black horse harness, and with that the horse began to slowly walk through the slightly crowded city streets, Mo Xian looked out the window and saw the people of the city giving their greetings as well as bidding farewell.

Mo Xian felt himself to be one of the royal members in the parade. Indeed, the Li family was very famous and respected in the Four Stone City because the lord of the Four Stones city was arguably Li Huan. 

Originally Mo Xian didn't know about this, but as time went on, Mo Xian had learned some important things like Li Huan who had the Peacock Alliance, he said, mastering the city of the Four Stones and one of the hundred most talented and powerful warriors in the Yuan Xing continent. Even Li Zhou Ran was also included in the list of talented people.

Mo Xian had absolutely no idea that in his present life, Mo Xian would have two strong people who were so respected as his parents.

The Charcoal Black Horse started running fast after passing through the city exit. The horse continued to run nonstop through the road that split the forest.

Mo Xian enthusiastically looked out the window and noticed the scene they were passing by. As the horse walked further and passed through the meadow, from a distance Mo Xian could see an extremely majestic and mighty mountain, sturdy, standing alone.

"It was Jinshan Mountain" Li Huan told as he watched Mo Xian look with stunned eyes at the mountain.

"The legend says the Celestial Emperor used the mountain to seal the Tao Hua Demon King thousands of years ago." 

Mo Xian looked back at the mountain again before looking at Li Huan.

"Does that mean the Demon Lord is still there now?"

Li Huan smiled and looked at his wife.

"In the ancient scroll, it was told that the body of the Tao Hua Demon King and his soul were separated in different places to prevent him from resurrecting. The Celestial Emperor used the Jinshan Mountain to confine the Demon King's body, while for his soul, there was no writing explaining it," Li Zhou Ran said.

Mo Xian nodded.

"Why has the Celestial Emperor locked up the Demon King, has the Demon King made such a big mistake?"

Li Huan nodded. "Said thousands of years ago, the Demon King was a very talented swordsman, but because of something he turned into a pervert and moved into the path of the devil, told because of the talent of Tao Hua, who was so talented, even after treading the path of the demons, his strength was increasing and bringing disaster to the Heaven's Path Divine Empire."

"The Demon King attacked the sky palace and made a big mess, all the heaven officials in the sky empire tried to stop him but the Demon King was too strong that in the end the Celestial Emperor intervened, ordered the entire heaven officials to form a formation of eight sky pillars to curb the Demon King's strength."

"Did that work?"

"Mm, the power of the Demon King managed to be curbed for a while until the Celestial Emperor could use it to lock up the Demon King under Jinshan Mountain."

Mo Xian looked back at the mountain which was now starting to look smaller as the horse carriage he was riding on got further and further away.

"Does that mean the Demon King is still alive now?"

"Perhaps, people with great cultivation usually have a long lifespan and gain immortality. People who live around the mountain also often tell that they hear angry screams from the mountain. However, ten years have passed, I haven't heard any more stories about that mountain."

"There are people who live around that mountain? Are they not afraid of the legend about the Demon King?"

Li Zhou Ran smiled, stroking his son's hair.

"People who live around the mountain are usually those who enter the path of the heretic and the path of the devil. They came to perform a ritual sacrifice by spilling blood at the foot of the mountain as an offering to the Demon King. Ordinary people also used to come to ask for strength and victory in battle."

"Sacrificing people?"

Mo Xian's face turned dark. People in this world really do not appreciate the lives of others.

,,,,,

Their horses kept running until they finally entered a small town and decided to stop because it was getting dark. Li Huan said that it would take at least three days to arrive at the Snow Dew city.

Wu Jiao Xing and Zhao Jin were in charge of securing their horse carriage while Li Huan took Mo Xian and his wife into the inn.

The moment they entered the inn, a few people who recognized them immediately approached to give their greetings.

"Greetings, Mr. Li Huan, Mrs Li Zhou Ran," said several men who approached them.

Li Huan replied to them with a nod and passed to the second floor after a servant appeared to escort them into the room.

Mo Xian did not want to go inside the room, so he waited on the first floor to wait for Wu Jiao Xing and Zhao Jin.

"Friendly matches this time will be very lively. Great warriors came to the city of Snow Dew. I didn't even expect that master Li Huan, the leader of the Peacock Alliance would actually come for this match."

Mo Xian who was drinking tea listened to the conversation of the people who had previously given his parents a greeting.

The other man nodded. "That's right, Li Huan the leader of the great Peacock Alliance has never been seen in public since becoming the leader of the Peacock Alliance."

"He was a great man, his prowess had already spread across the entire continent. But it was just a story, his prowess was no longer on display since he became the leader."

"Now that he reappears, I hope to be able to watch a great show live that will be presented by him."

"Don't dream. I heard the reason Li Huan came to the Snow Dew town was for his young son."

"Ah, so it seems. But if it's Li Huan's son, I still hope there will be a good show. After all, it was Li Huan's son, the famous thousand-sword swordsman. His son must be as talented as his parents."

"But will his son compete?"

Mo Xian suddenly became interested in their chatter. He didn't think at all whether he was going to compete or not. Now that he heard that, he became confused.

"Hahaha, but if Li Huan's son didn't participate, there were still many talented young warriors participating. It'll still be a good show."

The groove is slow?

MC is not strong?

Sorry, for some chapters it is used to strengthen the relationship between MC and his adoptive family, the formation of conflicts and just getting into the early stages again where MC will find the reason why he has to fight to be strong. A little convoluted indeed, at least it explains how the state of the brain that is written when imagining this story, understand, right?

Worldbuilding is not strong, less clear?
