The sun and moon are both wrong; who made him seek the Dharma

"As difficult as ascending to heaven."

Mu Liang suddenly realized, his eyes behind the mask crinkling into a smile as he nodded repeatedly.

"Brother, you are the most thoughtful. I was just overthinking it."

Stop flattering me and get to work!

"Big Brother" urged, and his subordinates moved even faster.

The sack gradually swelled up.

However, at this moment

"Murder!!!"

"There's a man-eating monster inside the church!!!"

"Fire! Help!"

A piercing, terrified scream came from the believers' dormitory.

Mu Liang froze, turning his mask towards the direction the voice came from, his tone somewhat bewildered:

"Big brother? This...we're starting to make a move right now?"

Didn't we agree to wait until after the baby was placed in the diaper...?

"idiot!"

The fat "big brother"'s expression changed, and he interrupted him sharply.

"This is an accident! Something's happened!"

Without hesitation, he grabbed the heavy sack on the ground, which already contained more than twenty wooden boxes, and growled:

"Forget about the rest! Take these and get out of here!"

Without further delay, the two picked up the sacks and, like two ghostly figures, swiftly and silently passed through the orphanage.

They bypassed the crowd and rushed towards the side door leading to the church's backyard.

Once they step out of this door, under the cover of night and along their pre-planned route, they can take their "harvest" and fly away.

The side gate is just a stone's throw away.

The fat "big brother" reached out to pull the door latch.

But Mu Liang suddenly felt an indescribable stabbing pain in his heart.

This feeling... a life-or-death crisis?!

He frantically looked around, trying to find the source of the danger.

"Meow."

A soft meow suddenly rang out at his feet.

Right in the center of the black cat's forehead, a crack quietly appeared in the skin.

A scarlet vertical eye was staring coldly at them.

[Borrowing Yuan Zhenmu]!

The blood-red light suddenly intensified!

The fat "big brother's" pupils suddenly contracted.

In a flash, he made his most instinctive reaction.

Get out of the way!

He roared and slammed forward, heading straight for the red light!

"Big Brother!!!"

Mu Liang's eyes widened in horror; he knew all too well that the red light was some kind of malevolent supernatural power.

However, the red light swept past.

The fat, undead corpse only stiffened for a moment before quickly regaining its balance, stretching its limbs, and roaring in surprise and uncertainty:

"I'm fine! This spell has no effect on me! Let's go!"

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaoxiao, far away at the inn, felt a sharp pain between her eyebrows.

She then let out a muffled groan, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

Bai Xiaoxiao's expression was solemn.

The supernatural power she inherited from the Three-Eyed One was unable to control those stronger than her.

In other words, the opponent might be even stronger than the Three-Eyed One.

If she were to rely solely on herself, she wouldn't be able to stop the two from leaving tonight, no matter what.

Bai Xiaoxiao curled the corners of her mouth.

But she was not alone; her appearance at this moment was merely a delaying tactic.

With the help of the puppet's vision, she could clearly see two figures rushing toward where her wildcat clone was.

Her mission is complete.

in the night sky,

A figure tore through the wind.

Like a meteorite, it crashed straight down into the courtyard!

With a loud bang, half of the courtyard was smashed and cracked by the blow.

The violent tremors made the two people who were about to leave unable to stand steadily.

A figure rose from the dust and slowly walked towards the two.

The broad back blocked out the moonlight, casting a large, heavy shadow that completely enveloped the two of them.

Within the smoke, Xia Chuan's killing intent was undisguised.

Where are you going?

Chapter 21 You're Next

Light, like water, poured down onto the devastated courtyard.

Xia Chuan slowly rose from the smoke and dust, his towering figure blocking out the moonlight and casting a large, heavy shadow that completely enveloped Mu Liang and "Big Brother".

The gravel made a soft crunching sound under his feet.

Mu Liang looked up at the imposing figure and his heart sank.

Judging from their demeanor, they are undoubtedly seeking the Dharma.

Moreover, the strength of this Dharma body... is simply outrageously exaggerated.

He subconsciously swallowed, his cloudy eyes darting rapidly between Xia Chuan and the sacks full of babies behind him.

My older brother might not be able to beat him.

broken.

Mu Liang calmly took a few steps back and shielded his "elder brother" in front of him.

"Fellow Daoist,"

Mu Liang spoke slowly, his voice coming through the distorted, crying face mask, sounding somewhat muffled.

Why are you trying to stop us?

As he spoke, he led his elder brother back slowly, saying, "Why not give me some face?"

Xia Chuan raised an eyebrow, looking down at the two suspicious-looking individuals:

How can I give you face?

The "elder brother" was overjoyed and quickly took over the conversation:

"Fellow Daoist, please let my brother and me leave. We will not concern ourselves with this matter further."

He paused, then spoke with even greater sincerity, "Three days later, at the tailor shop in the east of the city, there will be a generous reward."

"A generous reward?"

Xia Chuan repeated the two words, but his gaze did not linger on the two of them.

Instead, it bypassed them and landed on the two bulging burlap sacks in the corner.

Even from this great distance, Xia Chuan was still able to sense the situation inside thanks to the body enhanced by [Heaven and Tyrant].

He heard it.

An extremely faint, almost inaudible heartbeat.

That was the baby's rapid, erratic heartbeat, accompanied by the weakness of impending death.

One, two, three... a total of more than twenty.

The smile in Xia Chuan's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a cold frost.

He asked slowly, "Oh? Is that so?"

"I'd like to hear how you plan to repay me handsomely?"

The two of them felt a chill run down their spines as they noticed the change in Xia Chuan's tone.

Mu Liang took a few steps back without making a sound.

Is this person trying to make a move?

The "elder brother's" face darkened, and a fierce glint flashed in his cloudy eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Fellow Daoist, you are just mortal infants. Why do you want to fight us to the death?"

To be honest, my fellow disciples and I have considerable influence behind us. If anything happens to us, our sect will definitely…”

"The Nine Realms Gate, is it?"
