Chapter 88

Qiu Yuetong didn’t come back to her senses and the enemy hadn’t come yet . Maybe he wasn’t going to come anymore? The people in the fortified village had those kind of thoughts . Qiu Zhu didn’t think that Mu Yi wasn’t going to come . She was convinced he would arrive soon .

Li Hu had really disappeared . Qiu Zhu had found out about it, but she didn’t cause an uproar . She was too busy giving orders to set traps and prepare bombs to aid Qiu Yuetong later . Qiu Yuetong had told her how to do such things in the past .

Qu Zhu had remembered it all . Qiu Yuetong couldn’t give orders at the moment so Qiu Zhu did . According to Qiu Yuetong, if the local authorities sent thousands of people to get rid of them, then they couldn’t do anything .

They hadn’t sent thousands of people though . There was only one enemy . They had to get prepared . If the brigand chief didn’t wake up, it should be enough to make the enemy leave .

She was doing all these things and had forgotten what Sun Yi had told her . No matter how many traps and bombs they prepared, Mu Yi was definitely going to come and he wouldn’t get injured . Sun Yi saw what she was doing, but he didn’t say anything .

Sometimes people had to learn certain things on their own . It got dark outside and lights shown from the top of mountain . They looked like little dragons from far away . The lamps illuminated the entire village . A precise defense tactic had been established using people in different positions .

Everybody had a weapon from bows and arrows to spears and blades . Some people even had firelocks . They felt reassured with the weapons in hand . As Sun Yi had said, the people lacked judgement . After everything had come out, people were afraid to fight .

However, now that they had good weapons, traps and Qiu Zhu’s advice, they felt more confident and less afraid . Little Frost Mountain was the kind of place where ten thousand enemies couldn’t get through even if there was only one guard . They were certain that they were going to be able to protect themselves .

If a bomb exploded near the enemy, how could he protect himself? Qiu Zhu finally took a deep breath, all she could do was wait .

At the foot of the mountain, Qi Da reported to Mu Yi about Little Frost’s current state . He looked at the flames at the top of the mountain . Nothing showed on his face though .

During the three days, Little Frost’s fortified village had been getting ready for him to come back . Mu Yi hadn’t wasted the time either . He didn’t only have evil spirit slaying charms, he had also managed to make three five thunders charms .

Mu Yi counted on the five thunders charms more than anything . He wasn’t worried that he didn’t have enough . Evil spirit slaying charms were enough to defeat ordinary people . The three five thunders charms were all for Qiu Yuetong .

He didn’t make Su Jinlun come with him . Nian Nuer could help him . Therefore, even if it was extremely dangerous place right now, he wasn’t afraid .

“Thank you, I will go up alone . You can find a place to hide,” said Mu Yi .

When he had brought Su Jinlun back, he left Qi Da there . He had watched what the bandits were doing in the fortified village .

“Master, I’ll come up with you . I know where the traps are,” said Qi Da hastily .

He knew why the county magistrate had sent him . He also considered Mu Yi a divine being . He wanted to be friendly with people like him .

“No need . It’s not convenient,” said Mu Yi .

He didn’t give Qi Da an opportunity to say anything else . He turned around and started the trek up the mountain . After a few steps, a black light swallowed him and he disappeared .

Qi Da’s eyes were wide open . He blinked a few times because he couldn’t believe . When he realized Mu Yi had really disappeared, he admired him even more .

Mu Yi could hide at night using the Ghost King Banner . He could only do it at night . It didn’t work during the day . It only worked when facing ordinary people . It didn’t work against cultivators who had mind strength . Strong martial artists also had acute perceptions and could sense him .

The way it worked currently was enough . Most people from the fortified village were ordinary people . The only people who could probably find him was the former brigand chief, the ghost and Qiu Yuetong who was a powerful martial artist .

The ghost’s hadn’t dispersed previously but he had been injured . Mu Yi was convinced that even with the strength of the mountain helping him, he wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer . In Mu Yi’s eyes, the only person who he had to be extremely vigilant with was Qiu Yuetong .

Her speed and sword techniques were amazing . If he fought against her during daytime, maybe he wouldn’t be able to defeat her . He didn’t attack anyone by surprise . He just ignored them . Nobody could see him because he was wearing the Ghost King Banner .

He could sense all the traps with his mind strength, even those which were hidden really well . He was able to avoid them all . Each time he passed near a mine, his hair stood up . The mines reminded him that he was venturing into a dangerous place .

Mu Yi had acquired some knowledge about the mines . The mines and traps could kill him, no matter how many resources he had . He could sense danger acutely though and with the Ghost King Banner he could hide . He climbed up the mountain and arrived at the place where he had fought against the Qiu Yuetong at first .

The former leader of the fortified village had chosen the perfect spot to put his tomb . It was on the only path that led to the mountain . The precipices on either side weren’t sheer but it was still difficult to go around them .

As Mu Yi neared the tomb started moving and a silhouette appeared . Mu Yi didn’t waste anytime . He didn’t say anything . He followed behind Nian Nuer and attacked .

The enemy was a ferocious ghost . Nian Nuer was also a ferocious ghost . Nian Nuer wasn’t supported by anything, but she had mental abilities and the enemy was injured . Nian Nuer could deal with him without any problem .

The lamp in the memorial temple became bright again . The bronze gong rang and the sound rang across the mountain .
