Chapter 139: Then there’s nothing else to say

“Brother Xu! Look! Up in the sky!”

Yu Wen Xi pointed towards the sky, his voice trembling.

Xu Ming and the others looked up.

The common people of Baiwa City along with the human cultivators also gradually raised their heads.

In the somewhat dim sky above, white clouds parted, revealing a moon that faintly appeared hanging in the sky.

However, unlike an ordinary moon, this full moon seemed to carry a hint of pale red, but since it wasn’t completely dark yet, it wasn’t very noticeable.

But as the sky grew darker and the moon became more distinct, they had no doubt that tonight a blood-red moon would hang in the sky.

“Blood Moon!”

These two words simultaneously popped into the minds of Xu Ming and the others.

Xu Ming looked at the three of them: “I didn’t expect the Blood Moon to appear today. Can you set up that magic array?”

Miao Feng stroked his chin and thought for a moment: “Yu Wen Xi and I studied it all afternoon. Although we haven’t fully grasped this array, it should be fine overall.”

“Brother Xu, you’re asking the wrong question,” Qingwan lifted her head, smiling as she looked at Xu Ming. “Even if we weren’t ready, what other choice do we have now?”

Xu Ming paused, then smiled and nodded: “That’s true. We have no choice, so let’s go. Time is pressing.”

“Hmm.” Qingwan and the others solemnly agreed.

Xu Ming was still thinking about when he would encounter the Blood Moon.

But unexpectedly, he encountered it today.

Now, whether or not they were prepared made no difference. Even if they weren’t ready, they would have to try tonight, otherwise who knows when the next Blood Moon would be?

It was even possible that tomorrow they might be enveloped by a white light pillar and wouldn’t know how they died.

Yu Wen Xi took out a dharma instrument from his storage bag that resembled a dragon-seeking ruler. Miao Feng kept explaining technical terms about the array while Yu Wen Xi injected spiritual energy into the dragon-seeking ruler.

Half an hour later, it grew dark, and sure enough, the blood moon in the sky was particularly prominent.

“Right here, then.”

Yu Wen Xi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stomped on the soil beneath his feet.

Miao Feng nodded: “I think this place will do. What does Lady Qin.Huo think?”

Although everyone knew Qingwan’s identity, Xu Ming hadn’t mentioned it, so Miao Feng and Yu Wen Xi pretended not to know.

Qingwan agreed: “Same as what I thought.”

Yu Wen Xi put away the dragon-seeking ruler, looked up at the blood moon: “No time to waste, let’s start now!”

Miao Feng bowed to Xu Ming: “Brother Xu, please trouble Brother Xu to protect us.”

Xu Ming: “You three don’t need to worry about anything.”

“Good.”

Miao Feng spread out the goat skin scroll, threw it onto the empty ground, and recited the spell incantation.

The goat skin scroll trembled continuously.

The array-bearing goat skin gradually disappeared, replaced by the array carved into the ground.

Xu Ming stepped aside, letting the three take out numerous array flags and begin setting up the array.

The array manipulated the Dao of heaven and earth, spiritual energy continuously gathered and flowed.

It was as if the rules of heaven and earth were being crushed and reshaped into the form they desired.

Xu Ming felt that after leaving Baiwa City, he should also study arrays well.

Firstly, having many skills doesn’t weigh one down.

Secondly, a well-prepared array master can easily defeat an opponent one level higher.

He didn’t claim to be proficient, but at least in the future, when facing an array master, he wouldn’t panic.

Just as the array was being set up systematically, suddenly, Qingwan felt a tightness in her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, in Baiwa City,

the human cultivators had already gathered together, preparing to head towards the Toad Temple.

When the outside demon cultivators received the news, they also gathered.

If that temple really was the entrance and exit of Baiwa City, controlling the temple would be equivalent to controlling the city’s lifeline.

And even if that temple wasn’t the entrance and exit, there must be plenty of treasures inside. If someone else got there first, they wouldn’t even have time to eat the leftovers.

Thus, outside the temple, approximately five hundred human cultivators and four hundred demon cultivators stood opposite each other.

Both sides were tense, ready to fight before even attacking the temple, seemingly about to engage each other.

“What do you mean?” Xia Donghua looked at a man in a white robe among the demon cultivators.

Xia Donghua knew this demon.

This demon was the third prince of the White Snake Kingdom, currently ranked seventh on the Azurecloud List.

“We should ask what your intentions are. Why come to this temple?” The third prince of the White Snake Kingdom – She Yu smiled.

Xia Donghua focused: “Let’s stop playing games. Since you’ve come, let’s cease hostilities. At least until we kill that golden-bodied toad, don’t hinder each other. Otherwise, forget about seizing rare treasures; we won’t even be able to leave Baiwa City!”

Actually, Xia Donghua knew that making an agreement with the other side basically had no binding force.

But there was no other way now. If he backed off today, the other side would gain the upper hand.

But Xia Donghua also believed the other side knew better. If the human cultivators and demon cultivators fought each other first, both would be weakened, only to become food for that golden-bodied toad.

The third prince of the White Snake Kingdom flicked his fan, fanning himself: “I had the same idea.”

“Then let’s go!”

Xia Donghua led the human cultivators into the temple.

“Go.”

She Yu closed his fan and walked towards the temple.

“Boom!”

A loud sound broke the night’s silence.

The temple gates were blasted open by both groups of cultivators.

The monks inside opened their eyes, and the temple guards rushed forward with long staffs.

“Amitabha Buddha, what brings you noble guests to visit our Golden Toad Temple at such a late hour?” The abbot of the Golden Toad Temple was a yellow frog, bowing with clasped hands.

Xia Donghua stepped forward: “If the abbot tells us the passage leading out of Baiwa City and hands over the treasures of your temple, we will naturally leave.”

The abbot of the Golden Toad Temple frowned: “I do not know what you are talking about.”

“If that’s the case, then there’s nothing else to say.”

Xia Donghua waved his hand.

“Kill.”

Outside Baiwa City, a flying corpse was jumping nonstop.

Around the flying corpse’s neck hung a necklace, with a treasure bead strung on it.

The flying corpse didn’t know whom to give this necklace to.

It just entered the city and didn’t see anyone.

But as the flying corpse jumped, its nose twitched a few times, sensing a familiar smell.
