Chapter 145 - Chapter 145

At Yellowstone Town.

Dark clouds obscured the moon, and the night was dark. The entire town fell into a cold silence. Even the usual sounds of dogs barking had disappeared.

There was not a single trace of light or human presence.

Suddenly, the sound of something breaking through the air rang out, breaking the tranquility of the atmosphere.

Hearing the movement outside, everyone held their weapons nervously, not daring to make a single sound.

Shen Yaoling said, “Senior Brother, there isn’t a single person here. Could it be that the demon race has already arrived?”

“It shouldn’t be. There isn’t any aura of the demon race nearby. It seems like there is a great formation protecting this place.” Su Yan’er closed her eyes to sense for a while before saying seriously.

There wasn’t any aura of the demon race?

“Then why is there no one on the street when the sky has just turned dark? Do they all like to sleep early and wake up early as well?” Shen Yaoling was still a little puzzled.

Uh…

Hearing this, Mo Yuanqing could not help but say, “They didn’t sleep. Each and every one of them is hiding!”

On both sides of the street, the houses and buildings were pitch black.

Although there were no traces of the demon race, it was indeed a little abnormal that there were no lights at night.

Su Xing glanced around and then took a step.

“Alright! Everyone stop guessing. I’ll take you to a place. We’ll know what happened once we ask.”

As they spoke, they walked towards the center of the town.

Hearing the gradually fading footsteps, the nearby residents all heaved a sigh of relief.

Su Xing was no stranger to this place, Yellowstone Town.

Not before long, he led them to a high-door courtyard.

“Huang’s escort agency!” Shen Yaoling curiously read from the plaque on the door.

“Senior Sister, what does the escort agency do?”

Su Yan’er said with some uncertainty.

“Uh… the escort agency is similar to a bodyguard organization, right?”

“Yes, it’s similar to what your second Senior Sister said.”

Feeling the questioning gazes of the two people, Mo Yuanqing also replied indifferently.

The escort agency had guards to transport goods and also to protect individuals. It could be said to be a bodyguard organization.

Tap, tap, tap!

Su Xing gently knocked on the copper ring on the door.

“Chief Huang, an old friend has come to visit. Please come out and meet him.”

“Eh! Why does this sound familiar…”

Hearing Su Xing’s voice, the courtyard suddenly let out a puzzled sound.

Bang! The door opened!

Huang Sheng appeared with a few burly escorts. They were all wearing armor as tough as iron, and each of them held a long knife in their hands.

Seeing this, Su Xing and the others could not help but be stunned. Shen Yaoling blinked her big eyes curiously.

Could it be that these steel-armed freaks were Senior Brother’s friends?

“Hahaha!”

Huang Sheng took a closer look and quickly walked up to them.

“Fellow Daoist Su, it really is you?”

“Come in quickly!”

“If there’s anything, let’s talk inside!”

The entire escort agency was pitch black.

When Su Xing and the others entered the room and took their seats. Huang Sheng had someone light a candle, and his vision began to brighten.

The strange thing was that the room was covered with black cloth. Even the doors and windows were covered with a thick layer of black cloth.

From the outside, it looked like the room was pitch black, as if no one was living in it.

What was going on? Were they trying to pry into the curtains?!

Seeing Su Xing’s strange expression, Huang Sheng forced out an awkward smile.

“Fellow Daoist Su, these are special times. We have no choice but to be more cautious.”

“Oh! I understand!”

Of course, Huang Sheng’s and the others’ cautious actions were not the main reason why Yellowstone Town was not invaded by the demons.

If he was not mistaken, an expert in Yellowstone town must have set up a heaven-grade array formation.

It was precisely because of this great array formation that the people inside were able to survive until now.

Seeing that Huang Sheng’s face was filled with fear and unease, Su Xing inquired about Yellowstone Town’s situation.

Huang Sheng said faintly. “The demon race has appeared. The surrounding villages have all been captured by the demon race. They are either dead or as good as dead!”

“If not for the help of an expert, perhaps Yellowstone Town would have long been reduced to ruins. Right now, we can only live as long as we can!”

“… SIGH!”

At this point, everyone in the escort agency sighed.

It turned out that there were several groups of demon teams that had come to the town. However, before the demons could even take half a step into the town, they were killed by the great array outside the town.

The heaven-grade great array was a first-class array formation of grade ten and above. Even an ordinary ascendant could not shake it in the slightest.

The person who set up this great array was definitely an expert with extraordinary cultivation.

Huang Sheng did not have any impression of the person who set up the array. He only knew that it was a middle-aged man dressed in flowery clothes.

Flowery clothes man? Could it be the Drunk Sword Immortal?!

If it really was him, then it was really possible!

This senior had always disliked the demon race. Setting up an array to resist the demon race for Yellowstone Town was also in line with his style of doing things.

Su Xing pondered for a moment and said, “Chief Huang, do you know where Drunk Sword Immortal went after that?”

“Drunk Sword Immortal?” Huang Sheng was puzzled.

“The man in flowery clothes you mentioned. Did he say where he was going next?”

Huang Sheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. He had not even met him, so how could he know where he was going?

It seemed that the Drunk Sword Immortal, this mighty figure, had also set his eyes on the demon race.

A half-step Sword Immortal was so terrifying.

If the Drunk Sword Immortal had made a move, the demon race would probably not be able to rest in peace again.

Su Xing revealed a trace of a smile.

Since the Drunk Sword Immortal had laid down a backup plan here, then Yellowstone Town could be protected for now.

Unless the demons also invited several heaven-grade array masters, or powerful demons who had reached the half-step Human Immortal Realm, they absolutely could not do anything to the people in the town.

“Chief Huang, senior has set up a demon-subduing array. As long as you don’t go out, you’ll be safe and sound.”

Shen Yaoling said, “Senior Brother, you forgot one thing. If they don’t go out, there will be a day when they will eat up all the food. Other than this uncle who has reached the Golden Core fasting state, what about the other residents of the town?”

Huang Sheng nodded with a bitter smile.

This was the dilemma they were facing now. If this continued, sooner or later, they would have to eat up all the food resources in the town. At that time, even if the demons could not enter, they would not be able to live for long.

When their cultivation reached the Golden Core Stage, they had already entered the fasting stage. Even if they did not eat for a few years or more, it would not be a big deal. However, in this small town, only Huang Sheng had reached the Golden Core Stage, so the others did not have the ability to fasting, if this continued for a long time, the food in this small town might not be able to support it.

“How is this difficult?”

Su Xing laughed noncommittally.

…

In the darkness of the night.

Su Xing and his group left the small town.

“Senior Brother, how did you do that just now?”

With a wave of his hand, the entire town’s residents stepped into the Golden Core Stage. Such a heaven-defying method was unbelievable!

Even Su Yan’er, who had always been knowledgeable, was a little surprised.

Because this was already beyond the scope of the ability of ordinary cultivators.

Moreover, she had once observed that there was nothing wrong with the aura of one person who had broken through just now. Indeed, he had reached the Golden Core Stage.

To have such a method, unless…

Su Yan’er seemed to have thought of something and shook her head again.

The rules of the Eastern Wastelands restricted the cultivation of the ninth-level of ascension, which was already the limit. It was impossible for Su Xing to reach that stage.

But how could he explain this marvelous method?

The three of them looked at Su Xing.

“Do you want to know?”

“Yes!”

The three of them nodded tacitly.

“If you want to know, I won’t tell you. Haha.”

After saying that, Su Xing stood with his hands behind his back and a smile stretched across his face.

Everyone: “…”
