Chapter 491: Great Migration

“Seeing as you have a bit of fate with the Holy Water Sect, I’ll let you all off. Leave swiftly, and don’t come back.” After the voice that sounded like dropping ice beads rang out again, another gale swept over and abruptly pushed them and their belongings out of the entrance of Xianghe Village.

The four people simultaneously broke into a cold sweat. They scrambled to get up and hastily retreated from Xianghe Village’s vicinity without a word.

They only stopped running when they got far away. They looked at each other, their hearts panicked by fear.

“That really was a narrow escape just now.” One person remarked while wiping his forehead of cold sweat.

Another person nodded and then looked at Zhang Yue with a complicated expression. “Little Zhang, if it were not for the story you told which touched that expert’s heart, I’m afraid that we wouldn’t have been able to return today!”

That horrifying aura earlier left them with lingering fear even now.

Judging by the voice, the maiden seemed to be quite young, but her cultivation was simply shocking.

As expected of a large sect, even if it were exterminated, its surviving forces were not to be belittled.

“Let’s go, go, go. Eldest Brother, we should leave quickly!” They had only heard a voice and were booted out without even seeing the other party. How would they dare to still loiter? They hurriedly packed up their belongings and left in haste.

When Zhang Yue turned around to look back at the Holy Water Sect enveloped by the entangling vines, he let out a long, long sigh.

Not long after the four people left, Qiao Mu’s wispy figure stood there indistinctly, gazing icily in the direction that they had left in.

She had intended to kill them just earlier.

But it was just like that person had said; Zhang Yue’s story had touched her heart, which was why her att.i.tude had softened slightly.

Sixty ebony talismans floated at her fingertips. They suddenly flashed brightly while hovering in mid-air before vanis.h.i.+ng in an instant.

Qiao Mu then left with a flick of her sleeves.

It was only after a long time had pa.s.sed that a thin and frail rat scurried out from the cracks in the walls, running forward aimlessly while squeaking.

All of a sudden, a force obstructed its way, flinging it away into a squeaking mess.

A formless and transparent barrier appeared for a second before disappearing into thin air once again.

Qiao Mu strolled the whole way to Five Moon City.

She saw that the city gate was fully opened, and a large procession advanced forward at an extremely slow speed.

It seemed that what Zhang Yue and his companions said was true; Five Moon City was currently carrying out a great migration.

However, it was a distant journey to the north. She didn’t know how many people would be left after these over ten thousand people started migrating to the large fortifications in the north.

Qiao Mu shook her head and bypa.s.sed the crowd towards the horse seller inside the city.

Unfortunately, she was unable to purchase a horse there.

The reason was that the wild horses that they normally captured had basically all mutated. As for their domesticated horses, Five Moon City’s residents had bought them frenetically until they were all sold out.

“Little Miss, you’re travelling to the north too, right.” The owner was wearing a shabby jacket and rubbed his hands, saying, “They all say that it’s colder this year in the north, and there’ve been several snowfalls already. I reckon a majority of the people will freeze to death on the way, sigh.”

Qiao Mu didn’t say anything and turned to leave.

As the owner gazed at her back silhouette, he muttered quietly, “Such a little miss, but she has such a cold and detached temper.”

“Make way, make way, make way! F*cking make way!”

“What are you all doing blocking the way. Scram!” The person repeatedly berated as he whipped the crowd several times, which caused everyone to scream.

“What are you doing?” A furious shout rang out.

“The city lord came. City Lord, sir.” The citizens on the street called out.
