Chapter 121

Nothing happened that night but nobody was able to rest well, including Mu Yi . Mu Yi didn’t leave . As usual, he practiced his punching technique in the morning and then proceeded to decoct the medicinal herbs . He was very methodical .

Actually, the previous evening, he hadn’t told Nian Nuer everything . He didn’t stay only to help Mo Ruyan . They weren’t friends . He had spent money to receive her services . She was in charge of his safety . He was a client and she was a service provider, nothing more .

Of course, they had spent some time together so some connections were created but it meant nothing . Luoyang would be the end of their path together . Maybe they would never meet again .

The reason why he had decided to stay was that he had realized that the enemy from the other night probably controlled zombies . That was why Mu Yi had stayed . He wanted to see who the enemy really was, what his purpose was, and whether he had something to do with Li the Cripple .

Even though there were probably more than one clan who was specialized in controlling zombies, there couldn’t be too many either .

Not to mention that they were close to Luoyang . The Qu Mortuary was near Luoyang . Now, a dark creature had appeared . It maybe had something to do with the Qu Mortuary . Mu Yi wanted to know more .

The best thing for him to do was to stay in that army . Mu Yi didn’t tell anyone his reasons, not even Nian Nuer . The group continued traveling . At noon, Mo Ruyan made the troops stop .

“What’s wrong, Master? asked Uncle Cai .

“Something is wrong there,” said Mo Ruyan gazing into the distance .

It was a place they had to cross to go to Luoyang . It was a small mountain . Even though they could see everything clearly because there were no trees or big rocks, Mo Ruyan’s instincts told her there was something wrong .

“Two people come with me,” said Uncle Cai .

It was better to check before . If the whole group arrived and there was something wrong, then it’d be too late to do anything .

“No, Uncle Cai . I’ll go and see myself,” said Mo Ruyan shaking her head .

She didn’t want to lose more employees . It was easy to fall into ambushes .

“Master, we could also take a detour,” said Uncle Cai .

“No . If we make a detour, we’ll waste an entire day . Besides, if the enemies are after us, even if we make a detour, they can also set an ambush somewhere else,” said Mo Ruyan firmly .

“Master, be careful!” said Uncle Cai .

He was scared . He knew that none of them were as strong as Mo Ruyan . She was the only one who could guarantee they’d get through in one piece .

Even though he felt that way, he gestured and some people holding knives moved forward . If anything happened to Mo Ruyan, they’d help . Mo Ruyan didn’t have on her armor but she had her spear . Besides, she had many new sharp spear heads .

Mo Ruyan ran steadily . She arrived at the foot of the mountain in the blink of an eye . Uncle Cai was staring at her . He looked nervous . He didn’t want to lose Mo Ruyan .

“No need to stare,” said someone suddenly .

“What?” said Uncle Cai but he didn’t turn around .

Mu Yi had arrived behind him . Big Slave was behind Mu Yi .

“Death is always omnipresent in mountains . ” said Mu Yi shaking his head .

Then, he looked at Mo Ruyan as well . Uncle Cai shuddered with fear when he heard that . He didn’t even dare look at Mu Yi . Mu Yi, that little Taoist priest who was really scared to die, had always been uncommunicative during their trip . Why was he suddenly talking?

Mu Yi was just standing there though . He had said that without really thinking . The Taoist priest who was scared to die and had hidden in the carriage the other time was now outside .

Uncle Cai pondered it for a bit . He had been traveling for a long time . He understood people .

“Litt… Taoist priest, if you have anything to say, just say it . ” he said .

He had almost called Mu Yi “Little Taoist priest” . In the end he had just called him Taoist priest . He had to respect Mu Yi .

“I can see black Qi on your people’s third eyes . You are going to die . ” said Mu Yi suddenly .

“What?” someone said .

“Little Taoist priest, you really want to die!” someone yelled .

“Nonsense!” said someone else .

Uncle Cai didn’t even have time to reply . The other escorts immediately burst into an uproar . They were furious .

If Big Slave hadn’t been there, they would have taught Mu Yi a good lesson . Escorts had no patience and were usually impulsive .

“Little Taoist priest, you should think before talking,” said Uncle Cai patiently .

“You can choose to believe me or not but you’ll see,” said Mu Yi .

He wasn’t angry . He just continued looking at Mo Ruyan . She wasn’t on her horse and she had started going up the mountain .

Mu Yi bent over and grabbed a stone as big as his head . He gave it to Big Slave and pointed at something .

“Big Slave, over there,” he said .

Big Slave grabbed the stone and looked at the place Mu Yi was showing him . He could see some weeds, but nothing was different from the other places .

Big Slave looked at the stone in his hand and then looked at the place Mu Yi had shown him again . Then, he threw the stone Mu Yi had given him away and picked a much bigger stone . Uncle Cai didn’t understand what Mu Yi wanted to tell Big Slave, he said nothing and just calmly watched .

They were about sixty-seventy zhang away from the place Mu Yi had pointed at . On horseback, it would take a few seconds to get there but on foot, it was far . Big Slave lifted the huge stone and threw it .

The gigantic stone streaked across the sky . Everybody heard the whistling sounds . Big Slave’s strength was shocking . The stone descended from the sky and crashed into the ground . They didn’t hear any sound because they were too far away . While the crowd was wondering what Mu Yi and Big Slave were doing, two figures appeared where the stone landed .

“Oh no, Master is in danger!” Uncle Cai said .

He wasn’t stupid . He knew that it was an ambush . Mo Ruyan noticed them but she didn’t move back . She just threw her spear at them .
