Chapter 90 Travels (4)
"Ugh, I'm exhausted."
After a busy day, Luo Zai Shui stretched his shoulders, and Li Yue came running over to massage them, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
Luo Zai Shui snorted coldly and flicked her forehead without any politeness: "You really can't learn any magic at all?"
"Ouch." Li Yue rubbed her forehead. "This requires talent, and I'm not from here, so it's normal that I can't learn it."
Helpless, Luo Zai Shui stuffed a few more life-saving talismans into her hand: "Take them, I'm really afraid that one day when I'm not around, you'll die in some deserted corner."
Li Yue put his arm around her: "Isn't it because you're here? Besides, the world I live in is very safe. Although there are still some criminals, it's definitely better than the system here."
These words piqued Luo Zai Shui's interest, and she raised an eyebrow slightly: "What's so good about it?"
"Hmm... how so?" Li Yue skipped forward, then turned around. "The world we live in is a place where everyone is equal. Everyone can eat their fill and stay warm. There are no sects or aristocratic families, but there are schools. That place is somewhat similar to a sect, but everyone has the opportunity to enroll. We not only learn knowledge, but also survival skills. Everyone has their own way of living."
"And also, we have so much more food back home. Although there's a lot of delicious food here too, we don't have fried chicken or ice cream. If you have the chance, I'll definitely take you to try them."
Li Yue's eyes grew brighter and brighter as she spoke. Luo Zai Shui seemed to see a very happy world through her eyes. Only a girl born in a very happy world could have such a pure heart.
She inexplicably wanted to see the world.
The compass in her hand began to swing incessantly. Luo Zai Shui frowned. They had just finished clearing out one wave of demons, and now another was coming?
Before Luo could think any further, she pushed Li Yue aside and ordered, "Hide well and don't make a sound."
An uneasy atmosphere quickly spread through the air. The array that Luo Zai Shui had set up not far away lit up one by one, accompanied by mournful ghostly howls.
The group that arrived was still composed of low-level demons. Luo casually scattered a handful of talismans in the water, and the talismans seemed to come alive as they quickly spread outwards.
She made a hand seal with one hand and wielded her sword with the other.
"The battle begins—"
The moment she stepped into this city, she knew that the demons were endless, so she had prepared a killing formation in advance, which she never expected to come in handy today.
Few demons survived the first array, and Luo Zai Shui drew his sword and slashed them to ashes.
This scene shone brightly in Li Yue's eyes; the characters she created should be just as vibrant.
Another wave of demons appeared. Luo Zai Shui sheathed her sword and scattered a handful of talismans. Since she had plenty of talismans, she didn't feel it was a waste.
Hearing the sounds of fighting, Anan, who should have stayed inside, unconsciously pushed the door open a crack.
In the lingering glow of the fading embers, Luo Zai Shui's figure overlapped with that of an old friend.
Just as he expected, Luo Zai Shui drew his sword again and infused it with spiritual power. The chaotic cold wind made people hesitate, but Anan felt a surge of hot blood in his chest.
It's the patriarch's spiritual power! The patriarch has returned!
Luo Zai Shui was a little annoyed after slaying a wave of demons; these things were truly endless, like mosquitoes after a rain.
She simply poured her spiritual power into the formation. The powerful spiritual power blocked most of the demons, but a small number still kept surrounding them.
"Damn it, something must have gone wrong at the border."
Luo Zai Shui reacted quickly; as soon as she learned that demons had appeared on the border, she immediately set off. Logically, the surrounding sects and families should have also taken action.
However, the people in Dongying City have all moved away, which is definitely not something that can be accomplished in ten days or half a month, unless the demons have been causing trouble here for a long time.
Given the commotion from the last sect competition, the demon race is likely to take action.
But after that incident, someone should have been alerted and come to the border to investigate.
No, after the sect competition, she went to the mortal realm. Her master was too busy looking for her to pay attention to things here, so the matter fell to the Linghai Sect. Chu Yeli also went to the mortal realm with the Linghai Sect.
Therefore, we need to ask Linghai Sect about this. It's impossible that without her master, no one in the entire cultivation world understands formations.
And then there are the powerful sects and aristocratic families here. They've emptied the entire city; didn't they notice? Where did all those people go? Why did they only recently receive news of the demon invasion? And where did the sects and aristocratic families who came to investigate and provide support go?
For a moment, Luo Zai Shui was filled with thoughts, but the most important thing right now was to stop the demons in front of him. If they crossed the Eastern Sea, the people of the mainland would be the next to suffer.
Luo Zai Shui sighed inwardly. It seemed that the current situation in the cultivation world was even worse than he had imagined.
"Little brat, that's not how you use a sword."
A familiar voice sounded from behind. Luo subconsciously wanted to refute it underwater. Her Xianyun Peak swordsmanship was always ingenious, and this was the first time someone had said that she was using her sword incorrectly.
Anan tossed a light sword in front of her, indicating that she should use it.
Although the Changhong Sword in Luo Zai Shui's hands was a fine sword, it was never truly hers. While the Changhong could unleash tremendous power, it was never a good match for Luo Zai Shui. Specifically, Luo Zai Shui's agile swordsmanship and the Changhong's vigorous power were incompatible, causing her to only be able to unleash half of the Changhong's power. But even that half power was already astonishing.
After throwing his sword to Luo Zai Shui, Anan took out a new sword from his storage bag. The hilt of the sword clearly had the character "Luo" engraved on it.
"The new sword that the patriarch gave me is just right to slay you demons."
Luo Zai Shui retrieved the rainbow and gently pulled out the sword that Anan had thrown to her.
Strangely enough, Luo Zai Shui boasted that she had handled countless swords and could tell the quality of a sword just by holding it. The best sword she had ever encountered was Changhong. She had tried the swords of her fellow disciples and her master and elders, but none of them suited her. This sword was different. Although she could not tell the quality of this sword, she could tell that the person who used it cherished it very much. Moreover, this sword was very light in her hands. With a light swing, she could unleash its full power.
The two joined forces to suppress the demons and drive them to the border. Only then did Luo Zai Shui return the sword to Anan. Although she was extremely reluctant to part with the sword, it belonged to him.
"Thank you for your help, senior."
Anan took the sword and carefully wiped the blade, his eyes no longer as cloudy as before.
Seeing how much he cherished the sword, Luo Zai Shui figured that even if she asked, he wouldn't be willing to sell it to her.
As if knowing what Luo Zai Shui was thinking, Anan said calmly, "Don't you also have a sword from the Luo family? You don't need to focus on mine. Yours is much stronger than mine."
Luo Zai Shui was taken aback, but then realized what Anan was referring to.
She smiled and shook her head: "It doesn't want to acknowledge me as its master."
Anan scoffed, "The sword has a spirit. How do you know it doesn't want to acknowledge you as its master if you don't communicate with it?"
