The Guardians: The Swordsman of the Moon

Farewell.

The bamboo forest college was not very spacious and did not have many buildings, there was actually only one largest building in the place that was used as a storage area for ancient books and ancient scrolls.

Before Bao Yu came out of the pagoda-shaped building, Bao Yu had put up an incendiary paper that would be ready to burn the entire building along with its contents in a short period of time and not provide an opportunity for others to save the ancient books and scrolls that were worth more than the most beautiful gold and diamonds in the world because as beautiful as any treasure, will not be comparable with important information and knowledge in the building.

Outside, Bao Yu looked at the eight black-clothed people whose faces were covered with cloth, it was very similar to Mo Xian's description of when the child entered into Lin's memory realm.

So it was these people who had recruited Xiao Ma to gather the dark energy. Recalling him Bao Yu laughed loosely as if he had gone crazy until his old watery eyes drenched his wrinkled skin.

The eight people stared at Bao Yu with a flat gaze, doing nothing but staring at Bao Yu until the old man finished laughing.

Bao Yu let out a long sigh.

"You're getting so old that you're forgetting this, it's really embarrassing!" Bao Yu shouted forward and said softly, "You're the one who hid this from me, haven't we agreed to share the secret and start a new life?"

Bao Yu laughed even louder until his voice was hoarse. "I said we'd share everything, life, body and mind, but I didn't expect you to be this stupid. Ahahaha!"

The eight people looked at Bao Yu closely before one of them turned to look at the other.

"Is this Bao Yu the leader of the eight thousand monsters in the ancient war that broke out ten thousand years ago?"

The person beside him seemed to have more knowledge and answered. "Mm, he's that lunatic who managed to defeat ten thousand sun level troops in the same time and short."

"He sure looks like a crazy guy, but I heard he has two souls."

"That's right, one soul came from the black stream and one soul came from the white stream. Yet both hold fast to justice."

"It's troublesome, it means we'll face two of Bao Yu's legendary souls."

"What level is he at now?"

"I don't know, which is clear he's not in any condition, the two souls inside his body signify that he's actually long lost."

Bao Yu smiled, grinning upon hearing that. He suddenly became calm stopping laughing and arguing with himself while looking and feeling an evil aura that was so thick and powerful, he said, hundreds and thousands of masked people seemed to descend from the sky and surrounded the bamboo forest college, watching him from all angles.

"Today we will die and finally I can be free from you" Bao Yu said.

"We were born from the same root, forever we will be together, you take it easy I will not leave you," Bao Yu replied.

"Pei," Bao Yu spat violently. "You're really sticky like a rice cake!"

Bao Yu laughed indifferently to the enemies that had surrounded them. "That's your favorite food."

"It's also your favorite food, shameless!"

"Hahahahahahaha!"

On the other hand, Wu Jiao Xing and the others had run quite far away when suddenly the earth they were treading shook violently, trembling violently, Bai Yue immediately came forward to protect Mo Xian from the possibility if the ground above him collapsed.

They stopped moving when the ground they were treading for quite a long time vibrated violently with a fairly large bang.

"Teacher, are you facing those people?" Bai Ruo wondered.

Mo Xian sensed it, but his body was too weak to react he could only lean back like a sack of rice stuck to Wu Jiao Xing's back.

His eyes opened weakly, wanting to cry for things he did not understand at all, but had troubled many people.

Mo Xian's mind was filled with many possibilities. His adoptive parents lowered him down to the Xin Yue continent, Mo Xian seemed to have grasped the alasana from it all. Li Huan and Li Zhouran had found out about this. So they threw it away!

No, they didn't throw it away, they wanted Mo Xian to be safe while they found out about who used the spell. If they threw it away, they would not take Wu Jiao Xing down with him and would not feel so sad when he left.

They did it for Mo Xian's own good.

As the shaking intensified, Mo Xian felt himself standing at the center of the earthquake. Wu Jiao Xing understood the situation was not good so he urged to leave immediately or they would be buried alive in the underground passageway.

"Those people seem to be at a level higher than the sun level, otherwise their fight would not be this scary." Bai Ruo rambled as they ran through the long tunnel and had yet to see the end.

Bai Yue occasionally looked back, she did not know how strong her teacher was. The rumors that were said and written within the biodata book of sect master Bai Lian seemed to be trustworthy indeed, if those people had come to this place to find Mo Xian, then, those people would definitely bring more troops and his teacher was only alone.

Bao Yu, that old man was actually fighting them alone and stalling for Bai Yue and the others to escape, just how strong was his teacher?

Shocks still continued to occur, but in the end Bai Ruo found a way out after finding a way uphill. They seem to come out of the rabbit hole, very narrow and take time to make a bigger hole, he said, luckily they were able to get out before they were out of breath for too long inside the narrow underground tunnel.

The exit seemed to be in the middle of the forest, as they exited Wu Jiao Xing immediately looked for a place to rest and checked on Mo Xian's state after running quite a distance into the night.

Bai Yue used her skills in medicine to examine Mo Xian, by then the blood on Mo Xian's body had stopped flowing, but her skin color was extremely pale from too much blood loss. His heartbeat slowed down, Bai Yue could feel as she examined the movement of her hands. However, just as Bao Yu said, his teacher would not let Mo Xian die just like that, everything seemed normal even if it was a little bad, but he would be fine.

Mo Xian could not lose his consciousness and he was also unable to move, as if his body had died and only his mind was left, staring at the shade of the leaves and the moonlight that barged in, no one knows what he thinks.

"What are we going to do next?" ask Bai Ruo.

Wu Jiao Xing was silent, not answering and only paying attention to Mo Xian, cleaning the blood that soiled his face and enveloping him in his outer robe.

While Bai Yue stared at the direction they came from before replying, "There's nothing we're going to do, we have no other choice but to inform Master Bai Xue and Master Li Huan to come and pick us back up immediately."

Bai Ruo nodded in agreement. "Mm, this is very dangerous, we better hurry."

Wu Jiao Xing looked at the two Bai brothers who were shoulder to shoulder making a spell, then he looked back at Mo Xian who was lying on the grass, his pale face had been cleansed of the blood sticking up, and then looked back at Mo Xian who was lying on the grass, his opened eyes made Wu Jiao Xing realize that Mo Xian had not actually lost his consciousness, but the boy did not say anything and made him worry.

"Are you in pain?" wu Jiao Xing asked.

Mo Xian did not answer.

"Where do you feel pain, tell me."

Mo Xian was silent. His slightly reddish eyes only stared weakly upwards. Wu Jiao Xing felt that Mo Xian seemed to be devastated by what he had just learned.

"You take it easy, Mr. Li Huan and Mrs Li Zhou Ran will be right back to pick us up."

"Everything's gonna be okay."

"Everything"

Wu Jiao Xing stopped talking as the guard star he left at the exit signaled danger to his brain. His body stiffened, but he was still clear-minded. He then turned to look at the Bai brothers still not finished setting up the connecting formation spell.

Wu Jiao Xing cursed in his heart. He was annoyed, but he could not blame others, after all the connecting formation spells were indeed not an easy thing to do.

"Stop!" wu Jiao Xing's shout made Bai Yue and Bai Ruo turn their heads.

"They're coming, we don't have much time!" Wu Jiao Xing shouted in despair.

His words made the two white-haired youths startled, they felt that they had escaped far enough and they believed that his teacher had definitely managed to defeat his enemy!

Naifya batapa!

Their enemy was the one who mastered an extremely terrifying dark spell, if the user was at the level of the sacred realm then his subordinates were also at the level of the sacred realm!

They were too exalting his teacher status that they did not even know at what level his teacher was at. Even if their teacher was so great, the number of enemies would definitely exceed the number they fought in the village and Bao Yu would definitely lose and eventually accept defeat!

After all the people in the Xin Yue continent could usually only reach the level of the sun!

Their differences were obviously too far away, but they were still too confident!

Ignoring the half-activated spell formation, Bai Yue ran over to Wu Jiao Xing who was standing staring at the direction they were coming from.

"If they come why don't you take Mo Xian away immediately, hurry up!"

Wu Jiao Xing was silent for a moment, he then looked at the motionless Mo Xian below before staring at Bai Yue.

"I tipped Mo Xian," he said before walking towards the direction they were coming from. However, it immediately stopped Bai Yue who pulled her hand.

"What are you doing?"

Wu Jiao Xing looked at Bai Yue's sapphire blue eyes. "We can't escape if we stick together."

"What do you mean?" bai Yue asked with a look of disbelief.

Bai Ruo who had been listening since, then came along to speak, "You want to go there and be the bait. You're not going to help give us a little time to escape. When you get there, those people will easily kill you! It was as if they were winking their eyes!"

Wu Jiao Xing smiled wryly. "Then do you have any other advice? Stop wasting time and please bring her back home safely, so they won't blame me anymore."

Bai Yue and Bai Ruo were surprised by Wu jiao Xing's reply until his eyes widened.

Who did he call 'them'?

Wu Jiao Xing chuckled before continuing. "He was too troublesome, in the end what I imagined would happen, I would only be free after I die. Take it easy, I am a member of the peacock alliance, do not underestimate my knowledge to face the enemy, I am more than capable and will make enough time for you."

"Do you realize what you're talking about?" bai Yue asked a little stressed.

Wu Jiao Xing chuckled again. "I'm very conscious, go and don't look back. Just feel what a Peacock Alliance member like me would do."

With that Wu Jiao Xing walked away, but came back to a standstill as his trouser cloth was pulled weakly.

Wu Jiao Xing turned his head down only to see Mo Xian's crying face.

"Ge." Mo Xian's voice was so weak that it might not be heard as it swept away the cold of the night wind.

Wu Jiao Xing just looked at him.

"Don't go away." As much as Mo Xian's energy said that with great difficulty, enduring the pain in his throat.

Wu Jiao Xing smiled bitterly. "Look, all this happened because of you. I hate you so much for always making trouble and causing trouble, but in the end you have to stay alive."

Wu Jiao Xing pulled his leg and Mo Xian's weak handler was powerless to hold him back and Wu Jiao Xing left just like that to leave them and ignore Bai Ruo's exclamation.

Bai Yue saw Mo Xian cry, but the young man was so weak that no sound came out of his mouth. However, Bai Yue could see how Mo Xian was actually feeling extremely desperate when she saw Wu Jiao Xing's departure without being able to endure it.

Bai Yue immediately asked Bai Ruo to hold Mo Xian, guarding him while she intended to chase after Wu Jiao Xing who had long disappeared before she was held back by a familiar voice.

"Zhang Rouruan?"
