I was spotted by the heroines while doing the quick-travel mission.

The sun was setting in the west, and the once bustling city suddenly became deserted, with only one or two passers-by to be seen.

Occasionally, one or two passers-by would kindly remind Yang Liu and the other person to go back to the inn to rest this morning and not to stay outside.

The two listened to the passerby and returned to the inn. The waiter had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Yang Liu and the other person coming back, he immediately closed the door. The two returned to their own room without saying a word.

Yu Wan was a little confused and turned his head to look at Yang Liu. Yang Liu glanced back at him and then nodded to indicate that he should follow.

"Let's go take a look."

At night, the bright moonlight hides in the clouds, and the streets are as quiet as a dead city. There is none of the prosperity of the daytime, leaving only red lanterns and red ribbons swaying in the cold wind, which is indescribably creepy.

Yang Liu carried Yu Wan down from the window and landed steadily on the ground.

The streets were filled with thick fog, vaguely mixed with a hint of demonic energy. Yang Liu released a trace of spiritual consciousness to track the source. The blue spiritual energy made a circle on the spot and then flew out of the city. Yang Liu pulled Yu Wan to catch up.

Chasing out of the city, I could smell a slight smell of blood in the air, and there were faint flashes of swords in front of me. The sound of talismans burning and exploding was also mixed in, along with the shouts of several people fighting.

Yang Liu took Yu Wan a few steps and rushed to the nearby area. They set up a barrier to hide themselves. Only then could they see the scene ahead clearly.

Those monks were mostly from the human world, and one could hear their indignation from their conversations. The demon, who was outnumbered and at a disadvantage, was holding an unconscious child in his hand, and his fingernails dug into the child's arm, vaguely showing the child's pale face. The monks were also anxious, and hurriedly flew their swords to attack from all sides. The demon was agile and smart, and dodged those that could be dodged one by one, and those that could not be dodged, the monks who were flying their swords with the child in a hurry changed direction to avoid them. The two were in a stalemate for a while, and they looked at each other and whispered to each other.

"What should we do? This ghost mother always uses the child as a meat shield and we can't attack its weaknesses." The speaker was a monk in blue clothes with a delicate appearance. At this moment, his brows were furrowed, his eyes stared at the front with hatred, and his whole body was shaking with anger. The sword that almost hurt the child just now was his.

“But we can’t let her get away again this time. We finally tracked her here…” The swordsman in white frowned and sent a message to his fellow disciples around him.

The other monks were still harassing them from time to time to prevent the other party from taking the opportunity to escape. The blue-robed monk and the white-robed monk who were leading the group communicated back and forth with each other.

Yang Liu and Yu Wan, who were hiding in the dark, looked at each other.

"God, do you need my help?" Yu Wan was distressed. The child was obviously unconscious. If he was not rescued in time, he might be injured by mistake.

"Let's take another look..." Yang Liu was calm and had the leisure to secretly pay attention to the several monks who were fighting with the ghost mother.

The ghost mother was a little annoyed by being harassed by several people. She let out a sharp howl, grabbed the child and shook him around, waking the child up and making a crying sound that was particularly harsh.

Yang Liu was tired of watching, so he flicked his finger and a blue aura came slowly closer. It exploded the moment it touched the Ghost Mother. A terrifying aura rippled out, and ice spread to the surroundings from the touched skin. The Ghost Mother's face was filled with fear and she struggled hard, but she was frozen tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes rolling around.

Yu Wan took the opportunity to jump out and snatch the child away, thus avoiding the fate of being frozen into an ice sculpture together. The sudden change made the monks stunned for a moment, looking at the ghost mother they had been tracking for a long time, who had no power to resist and was frozen in place like an ice sculpture, motionless, still struggling. She stared at everyone unwillingly with a pair of eyes, and looked at each other, seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

The young man in blue reacted and bowed, saying, "Which Taoist fellow is passing by and can help me? Please come out and meet me!"

Yu Wan carried the child back to Yang Liu. The child opened his big round eyes and looked at Yu Wan and Yang Liu with tears in his eyes. He wrinkled his nose and cried, exposing Yang Liu and Yu Wan's location. Yang Liu had no choice but to take Yu Wan out of the jungle.

When the monks saw the two, they thought they were celestial beings who had descended to earth. Their eyes looked mysterious and beautiful, although their cultivation level was unknown. They could not take their eyes off them.

"Hello, fellow Taoist. Thank you for your help. My name is Yunqi, the eldest disciple of the Yuling Sect. I'd like to ask where your master came from." The Yunqi who spoke was the young man in blue. He saluted towards Yang Liu with a fist.

"Liu Jinyuan, my sister, Yuwan."

Yang Liu spoke in a faint tone and stopped talking. Yu Wan clasped his fists beside Yang Liu and saluted in return.

"I'm sorry, my sister doesn't like talking to outsiders." Yu Wan handed the crying child to the older monk.

"It's okay. I understand." The monk took the child with a chuckle. He held the child in his arms and coaxed him skillfully. They discussed sending the child back. Yang Liu took a quick glance and melted the ice with a flick of his finger. The ghost mother wanted to escape after losing her shackles. Yang Liu tied up her legs and used his spiritual power to turn into a rope and wrap around the ghost mother like a snake to bind her.

"How are you going to deal with this monster?" Yu Wan looked at the ghost mother lying on the ground, twisting and screaming, and then asked.

"You two fellow Taoists, you don't know that this ghost mother has committed many evil deeds and feeds on children. She is very cunning and has escaped from our pursuit and blockade many times. We have finally tracked her information recently. If you two fellow Taoists had not taken action, she would have escaped." A white-robed monk at the side interrupted.

"Of course I will bring it back to the sect. We are very grateful for your help. We will definitely visit you someday. I wonder who your master is." Yunqi was grateful and asked again. Yang Liu glanced at Yu Wan, who nodded slightly as he gave her instructions.

"Luoyun Sect."

Yu Wan introduced himself, and no one knew whether this sect still existed after a thousand years. Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then became more respectful. They saluted to the two of them and spoke a few official words before finding an excuse to take the ghost mother away.

Yang Liu watched the few people leave, then turned his gaze to Yu Wan.

"Your sect in the mortal world?" Yang Liu mentioned it casually, with a nonchalant tone.

"Well, I don't know how it is now." Yu Wan nodded subconsciously and sighed sadly.

"Judging from their reactions, it should be pretty good."

Yang Liu replied casually, then turned and walked back to the city.

The moon is high in the sky and the clouds have dispersed, as if this winter is no longer cold.

"That's good." Yu Wan followed closely. After hearing Yang Liu's words, he felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face.

"God, the moon is bright tonight, which is a good night for traveling. Why don't we go back?" Yu Wan asked tentatively. Yang Liu only glanced at Yu Wan indifferently without answering. She turned towards the main road and walked away from the city, tacitly agreeing with Yu Wan's words.

When Yu Wan saw her, he hurried to follow. After this visit, Yu Wan felt that Yang Liu was not as cold and heartless as others had said. She was like the soft and lingering spring breeze, making people feel at ease. Yu Wan liked her very much.

"Don't you like the New Year's atmosphere?"

"I've already seen it. Now I want to go to other places with the God."
