The Guardians: The Swordsman of the Moon

Mr. Kong's evil plan.

Mo Xian sighed and expelled the worry and goosebumps on his body. He immediately cleared his mind after three breaths and let out a long sigh.

Young people are full of wandering feelings. In the future the young lady who was in the hotbed might find something that attracted her heart and Mo Xian hoped that Chen Meiyin could find her dream man. After all Chen Meiyin was only eleven years old, there would be plenty of time to change her feelings for Mo Xian. So Mo Xian had already not thought too much about it.

"After this mission, I'm also unlikely to see her again, so why would I worry?"

The group then arrived at a bridge called after walking for almost half a day and it began to darken with cloudiness in the afternoon.

Mo Xian looked at the sky that was already rolling in grey black, a rumbling sound was heard and a strong wind started blowing. Slowly, the group began to cross the bridge made of stone arrays.

Master Kong did not seem to be lying, but Bai Yue who had been guarding the front behind Mr. Kong, could see that Mr. Kong was agitated. When Bai Yue asked if there was a problem with this trip. Mr. Kong replied with a forced smile, if he was worried about the upcoming weather.

However, Mr. Kong also said that there was a village that had been abandoned not far from the bridge and proposed to rest there.

Bai Yue immediately retreated and knocked on the carriage, Madam Chen who had been sleeping was awakened by Chen Xiaomei who first opened the window.

"It will soon rain and night will come, Mr. Kong suggested to stay in a village."

Madam Chen assented with a nod and a wave of hands, and immediately told Chen Xiaomei to close the window.

Bai Yue then passed Madam Chen's approval on to Mr. Kong, and Mr. Kong smiled as bright as the sun before announcing that the troupe would stay over and take the troupe down the small street.

In the back, Mo Xian heard the announcement that Master Kong was shouting, rumbling was getting more and more frequent and the strong wind was enough to make Mo Xian annoyed as his hair became messy.

Mo Xian then looked up at the rooftop of the carriage, Xiao Hei looked unsettled and agitated, the black cat hissing and staring around in alarm. Mo Xian called out to him and the black cat jumped down into his embrace.

Mo Xian stroked her sweet black fur. "What's going on, what's something bad going to happen?"

The black cat looked at him and meowed before looking around uneasily.

Mo Xian, putting Xiao Hei on his shoulder and holding the horse rope, he then signaled Bai Yue by throwing a small stone at her. Now Bai Yue and Mo Xian were in a standby position watching the surroundings.

"Eternal Cultivator Master, what is it? You look agitated."

Bai Yue looked at Master Kong at a glance and played the stone Mo Xian threw.

"There's nothing" Bai Yue replied. "When we get to the village you mentioned, can we get there before it rains?" he pretended to look at the sky.

Mr. Kong smiled, nodding his head. "Eternal Demon Master need not worry, we will be there soon, look!"

Tuan Kong pointed to a stone monument that had been visited by plants.

"We have arrived at the village door, we just need to find a place to stay. Me and my men will leave first, the Eternal Cultivator Master can wait here."

"No need, we'll look for him together." Bai Yue replied coldly.

Master Kong smiled wryly at Bai Yue's reply and couldn't do anything. After that, Mr. Kong slowed down the path of his horse in order to gather with his three men.

"What happened, why is there no movement from the others?" Mr. Kong whispered with a dislike face.

The three muscular men looked at him. "Where do we know if we're by your side all the time." One of them answered.

Mr. Kong was dissatisfied with that answer.

"We should be able to take their treasure in that village, if our plan fails and they make it out of the forest, we won't have a second chance."

One of the big muscular men immediately replied. "You just calm down and take care of your part. Attacking and robbing are our business and you shouldn't have to comment."

"He's right, a skinny guy like you should just keep quiet and don't interfere with our affairs."

The man snorted in annoyance. "I want my part anyway."

The muscular man smiled cynically. "We'll count it later."

That way, Mr. Kong became silent and left the three muscular men behind, speeding his horse back to walk in front, leading the party.

After passing through the stone monument that was no longer even visible what was carved on the stone, the Company began to enter the village. The houses look like they've been damaged and overgrown with vines, there's almost nothing they can use to stay the night. However, they managed to find one of the largest houses with conditions that are still intact, there is not even a leak on the roof, so when it rains they do not feel worried about the cold.

Seeing the still good condition of the building, Mo Xian guessed that the house must belong to the richest person in the village.

Mo Xian and Bai Yue immediately inspected the house from one room to another. Mo Xian felt a little strange about the state of the house, it was as if the house had been left behind by its owner. The entire furniture in the house was still complete, Mo Xian found some gold coins, jewelry and valuable papers such as land ownership marks and business licenses. Even Mo Xian also saw that there were dishes that had not been cleaned from the dining table.

"This place is weird, why don't they bring their stuff if they leave this place?"

Bai Yue nodded. "Mm, we'd better put up a barrier and keep watch."

Mo Xian nodded, he then touched the pillar of the house with his palm, a spell image immediately appeared on the pole after Mo Xian released his hand.

Mo Xian and Bai Yue did that at every pole in the house, even the walls and doors were not missed either. The image of the mantra they made was made of spiritual energy, then an invisible spiritual thread connected from one spell to another, that thread would make Mo Xian and Bai Yue know anyone who had gone through it, thus Mo Xian and Bai Yue would also know if there were anyone else from their group.

After casting a spell, Mo Xian and Bai Yue returned to the terrace, meeting Madam Chen who had been waiting for the examination.

"Everything is safe, Madam can enter right now," Bai Yue said flatly before touching the pole that was outside, amazed those who saw the moment the spell image appeared there.

Mo Xian also did the same, as there were at least four poles on the terrace.

"Eternal Demon Lord, what are you guys doing?" Chen Meiyin asked Mo Xian.

Mo Xian who was looking at Chen Meiyin suddenly remembered the incident earlier this afternoon, but he did not think too much about it and smiled.

"We made a protective spell."

Chen Meiyin nodded, the girl wanted to ask back, but Madam Chen did and told her not to get too close to the immortal cultivators. Madam Chen then brought her two daughters in, told the maid to clean up and prepare a place to rest.

On the terrace, Mo Xian saw Master Kong seemed to be discussing something with his three men. However, Mo Xian did not want to know and stared at the rain that started rushing, spreading the scent of the ground.

Meanwhile Mr. Kong clicked his tongue, restraining his annoyance. The Immortal Cultivators that Master Chen had hired were indeed young children, but they exceeded his expectations. The skinny man thought hard to find another way.
