My carefree life in space

Chapter 249 Lanyue City

"Are the demons really this rampant?" Lin Shushu asked with some doubt after dealing with all the demon soldiers.

Mo Ze was equally puzzled. Although it was no secret that he had killed the demon leader last time, the fact that the demons came knocking on his door as soon as he and Shu Shu showed up was quite unusual, unless the demons were now active on a large scale in the Qingyun Continent.

As they exchanged glances, they both thought of someone—perhaps they could ask him for information. When they left Brahma City last time, they had exchanged communication jade tokens with Xie Fan. As long as both tokens were active and within a certain range of spiritual energy, they could communicate at any time.

When Xie Fan received Mo Ze's message request, he was fighting a demon. Only after he had dealt with the demon did he have time to answer Mo Ze's call.

"Brother Mo, where have you been all this time? I want to fight alongside you again!" Xie Fan's loud voice rang out as soon as the call connected.

Upon hearing his words, Mo Ze's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Have you been fighting against the demons lately?"

"Yes, don't you know? The demons have become increasingly rampant lately. They're causing trouble all over the continent, and cultivators across the entire continent are busy cleaning up the demons!"

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze were both shocked. Did the Demon Clan have some kind of trump card? Otherwise, how could they dare to openly declare war on all the cultivators on the continent?

"Could it be that they found that magical artifact and released the ancient demon god?" Mo Ze asked, expressing his speculation.

"How could that be? If that were the case, the reclusive masters of those major sects would be too busy to sit still; they would have already come out of seclusion." Xie Fan's words were somewhat nonchalant, indicating that the situation was still under control.

After saying that, Xie Fan remembered the original topic, "Have you finished your business? Do you want to join me in killing demons? However, there won't be any reward this time; this is all voluntary."

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze didn't care about rewards. If it wasn't something they needed, even the most generous reward was useless, like the promise made by Fanyin City to recommend them to a major sect.

Lin Shushu nodded to Mo Ze, who immediately understood her meaning and asked Xie Fan for his current address.

After obtaining the exact location, the two set off. Now that they were caught up in this conflict, rather than fighting alone and waiting for the demons to come knocking, it was better to join the main force so they could get relevant information in time, and perhaps even find clues about the teleportation array!

Xie Fan is currently in Lanyue City. When the two arrived in Lanyue City, a war with the demon race had just ended.

Xie Fan's eyes lit up when he saw them. With these two joining them, the next time the demons came, things should be a little easier.

"Come on, come on, I'll treat you to a tavern as a welcome dinner." Xie Fan pulled the two into a tavern in the city without giving them a chance to argue. The tavern was almost full, mostly with cultivators like Xie Fan. They had just come down from the battlefield, and their conversation was inevitably about the demon race.

After finding a seat, Lin Shushu heard a discussion coming from the next table.

"Have you heard? Demons have been appearing frequently in the city lately, seemingly searching for something important."

"What else could we be looking for? It must be the Brahma Bowl! This is a matter of life and death for the entire continent!"

"Yes, all the major sects have also strengthened their defenses, for fear that the demons will succeed."

"Could it be that Brahma's alms bowl is in Lanyue City?"

"Who knows? The demons probably cast a wide net, and maybe one day they'll just stumble upon something by sheer luck."

Seeing that the two were listening attentively, Xie Fan didn't say anything. When he first arrived, he was also very interested in such remarks, but after hearing them so many times, he had lost his curiosity.

Without getting any more information, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze quickly turned their attention back to their original positions.

"What kind of rules are these days? Are we just supposed to passively deal with the demons who come knocking on our door?" Mo Ze was really puzzled. This was a matter that involved the entire continent. Didn't those prestigious sects have a proper way to handle it?

Hearing his question, Xie Fan didn't know what to say. After all, he was just a rogue cultivator, acting only according to his own thoughts. What the major sects thought was none of his business. However, he had no intention of joining a sect now.

As they were talking, a group of people entered from outside. Judging from their clothing, they should be disciples of a sect. Lin Shushu and Mo Ze did not recognize them, but Xie Fan and the others did.

"Huh, it's people from the Qingyun Sect. They actually came?"

"The situation must have become increasingly serious, forcing them to step in and take charge."

"Who is that young man leading the group? I can't even tell his cultivation level."

"You don't recognize him? That's Xiao Jingping, the chief disciple of the Qingyun Sect's leader. He's just over forty this year and has already reached the Nascent Soul stage. I didn't expect the Qingyun Sect to send him to Lanyue City. Could it be that the Brahma Bowl is really here?"

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze exchanged a glance. So these are the people from the Qingyun Sect? Last time, the city lord of Fanyin City said he would recommend them to join the Qingyun Sect. They wondered what kind of disciples the number one sect on the Qingyun Continent was like.

Xiao Jingping heard the surrounding discussions, but he didn't care. As the top disciple of the sect, he was always the focus of attention wherever he went, and he was used to it.

He came here on his master's orders with only one purpose: to stop the demons from approaching the altar in the center of Lanyue City. His master had already explained the reason to him, and he now knew that the matter of the Brahma Bowl in Lanyue City was indeed true, although only one-sixth of it was here.

After Xiao Jingping led his junior brothers and sisters to their seats, people around him boldly came forward to greet him, and he responded politely to all of them, showing the demeanor of the sect's eldest disciple.

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze did not join in the fun, but their unusual behavior attracted the attention of the Qingyun Sect group.

The moment Xiao Jingping saw Lin Shushu, he was shocked. People of the same cultivation level could feel the same aura. He did not expect that there would be a woman here whose cultivation level was comparable to his. What surprised him even more was that this woman was so young!

His gaze lingered on Lin Shushu for a while, then he was caught off guard by her cold stare. Xiao Jingping wasn't embarrassed and nodded to Lin Shushu in greeting.

The other party meant no harm, and Lin Shushu didn't dwell on it. She nodded gently and looked away.

Xiao Jingping's junior brothers and sisters couldn't discern Lin Shushu's cultivation level. Seeing their senior brother's attitude, they all curiously sized up Lin Shushu.

Ignoring their gazes, Lin Shushu secretly exchanged glances with Mo Ze and shared her guesses.

The arrival of the chief disciple of the Qingyun Sect indicates a very high probability that the Brahma Bowl is here, and the secret of the Brahma Bowl should not remain hidden for long.

Recalling the division of the three continents, she had a feeling that there might be some connection. Perhaps the teleportation array was on Brahma's bowl.
