The Time-Stealing demon went quiet, looked like he wanted to buy some time.
Mo Yunqing put the Time-Stealing demon directly into his fan, then turned to Mo Yanliang, saying; "You go out first, I'll ask for the method. You should handle Tianshui city current situation, so don't stay in the dream for too long."
Mo Yanliang thought about it and realized that he needed to go out now because he had a very important task to odo. But he's still a little worried about Mo Yunqing; "What about you?"
After all, he had been in a coma for several days before, and Mo Yunqing's sleep time will only be longer than his.
He fell into deep sleep frequently even though he'd clearly stated that he was just a soul. So Mo Yanliang couldn't help but worry.
Mo Yunqing obviously noticed Mo Yanliang's worry, but he didn't say anything to comfort him. Instead, he pushed Mo Yanliang out; "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm still waiting for you to avenge me!"
At the end of the dream, what Mo Yanliang saw was Mo Yunqing's nonchalant expression, like he didn't have any care for anything as always.
Mo Yanliang woke up from his dream in the next moment.
The dreadful crying and wailing outside rang in his ears.
Mo Yanliang pushed the door opened and saw Prince Jin and the group of young masters that followed him.
They were so proud when they went to sleep before, but now they're depressed and frightened.
They were arguing, each one louder than the other and all clamoring to leave Tianshui City.
However, it was in the middle of the night and there were many people who were still awake in Tianshui City, making it looked very lively but it's impossible to leave the city at this time, because in the first place, the city gate won't be open.
But Prince Jin and his followers seemed to be frightened and kept insisting on leaving.
The reason was after falling asleep, they also had a dream. Though they couldn't remember what the dream was about, they felt like they had lost something.
After waking up, they felt like they had aged several years in an instant... Although their appearances have no changes from before, these symptoms were exactly the same as those people in Tianshui City.
They were worried if they continued to stay in Tianshui City, their fate would be the same as the people in Tianshui City, time stolen and rapid aging. Leave now while still can.
Once panic spreads, it can't be stop.
Moreover, when Prince Jin and his followers went to find Master, they found that Master Fan had long disappeared.
It's obvious now that they had been deceived by Master Fan when he said he had gotten rid of the Time-Stealing demon but then he slipped away first.
Mo Yanliang roughly sorted out the information from the chaotic arguments of Prince Jin and his followers.
"Stop arguing, all the time that was stolen from you will soon return."
Mo Yanliang really hated the noise. He didn't like the chatterbox Young Marquis Qi in the first place, but he never expected that Young Marquis Qi's group of friends would be even more noisy...
As soon as Mo Yanliang opened his mouth, he quickly attracted everyone's attention.
Only then did Prince Jin and the others remembered that Mo Yanliang was also invited to exorcise demons, and they looked at him unkindly. Right now in their eyes, demon exorcist was equated with a liar.
"Brother master, are you serious?"
His attitude was completely different from Prince Jin and the others. He had been forcing himself not to sleep because he heard Mo Yanliang said that the Time-Stealing demon was not eliminated yet.
Young Marquis Qi was quite envious when he saw them went to sleep at first, but when he saw Prince Jin and the others' current condition, he was really glad that he had listened to Brother master and did not sleep, otherwise he would have suffered a pyschological trauma.
But Brother master clearly said that the Time-Stealing demon was not eliminated yet, why would he said that the stolen time will be returned soon now?
Obviously, Young Marquis Qi was not the only one confused.
"What do you meant? Are you saying that you've eliminated the Time-Stealing demon?"
"Master Fan said the same thing not long ago, but then he ran away. Why? Are you planning to run too?"
These young masters really couldn't believe Mo Yanliang. Master Fan, whom they trusted more was a liar after all. Mo Yanliang, a stranger that Young Marquis Qi found halfway... was not reliable no matter how they looked at it.
Mo Yanliang was too lazy to argue with these young masters. He was anxious to come out of the dream because he had something to do.
He hooked his finger at Young Master Qi and asked him to come over.
Compare to other young masters, Young Marquis Qi was obviously much more aware of the current affairs.
Seeing Mo Yanliang calling him, he immediately followed.
"Brother master, is there anything you need to tell me alone?"
There was a hint of eagerness in his eyes and it was obvious that he wanted to do something big.
If we were to used modern terms to describe him, it would probably a chuunibyou.<T/n: middle-school syndrome>
"Yes."
Mo Yanliang first affirmed Young Marquis Qi's words, and then continued; "Go tell the people in the city that the Time-Stealing demon has been eliminated by me, and the stolen time will return soon."
Mo Yanliang did not say it himself because he wanted to establish an image of a master in the eyes of everyone, so that when there's a case of exorcising demons in the future, people would think of him and come to seek him. He learned this from Master Fan.
Once his reputation as a master spread, people would inclined to believe him, which would much easier for him that having to look for demons himself.
Of course, as a master, if he goes out and says how great he is, it would be like bragging. This kind of thing must be known through other people's mouth.
The only other person Mo Yanliang could find now is Young Marquis Qi.
Because he burned the body of the Time-Stealing demon, Mo Yanliang couldn't bring the demon to the public, but it was not a big deal. There's plenty of ways to show that he's a master. If a charlatan like Master Fan can people believed in him, there's no way that he, a real god, couldn't win people's trust.
Young Marquis Qi was also a wonderful person. Mo Yanliang did not say anything more but Young Marquis Qi strangely understood what he meant, and then he went to the people and praised Mo Yanliang. Although the people did not see it, the way he described the scene of Mo Yanliang's battle with the demon was so vivid that it was like they witness it themselves.
Just as the people were hesitant and skeptical, Mo Yanliang came out of the inn and flew over the crowd on his sword.
He didn't fly fast, just enough for the people to see him.
The night wind blew up his ling hair and sleeves, making him look even more ethereal.
"Wow! An immortal! It's really is an immortal!"
No one knew who shouted, but the rest of the people all looked up.
They had only heard about immortals flying with swords in legends before and this was the first time they saw one with their own eyes. The people who were still outside at this time were all excited, and each one shouted louder than the other.
"Thank you, immortal, for saving us!"
"Thank you, immortal, for saving us!"
"Thank you, immortal, for saving us!"
Seeing this scene, Young Marquis Qi felt even more energetic. He really had a good vision. Brother master could actually fly. Don't wait any longer and took this opportunity to promote him even further.
"Yes, yes, yes! It is this immortal. The immortal appreciate the sincerity of this young master and seeing the people of this city is suffering, he came here to kill the demon! The Time-Stealing demon is dead and everyone will return to normal soon!"
As if to verify what Young Master Qi said, as soon as he finished speaking, many people felt that they were suddenly younger. Those people who felt that they had not sleep well recently felt that their minds were clearer. Then, an even more magical scene was discovered.
With the support of her young husband, the old woman's white hair turned black, the wrinkles of her face faded and she gradually turned back into a young pregnant woman in the husband's surprised eyes. The two hugged each other, mindful of the young woman's big belly.
The child, who had the face of a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, cried out in pain due to the changes in his face. The young mother squatted down in surprise, watching her child turned back into the innocent and naive child again and she hold the child in her arms and showered him with kisses.
Those old people who looked frail and sickly turned back into young boys and girls...
These were just the visible changes and there were many unseen changes. All those whose time has been stolen felt the change in an instant. It was the feeling of vitality and energy returning to the body.
Prince Jin and his group naturally felt this change. Facts proved that Mo Yanliang was different form Master Fan. He was not lying and a real expert in exorcising demons.
Prince Jin and his group of young masters felt their knees weakened. they thought about how, from the moment they met until now, they had never shown the master even the slightest respect. They were either sarcastic or mocking, and they were just short of attacking him. What if the master held a grudge?
Prince Jin and the others looked at Young Marquis Qi, who was about to give a long speech. They rushed to him and started to drag him into the inn.
Young Marquis Qi was speaking enthusiastically when he was suddenly stopped by his good brothers. Seeing that he could not give his long speech, he shouted out the most important information: "This immortal has mercy on all living beings. If you encounter a demon that you cannot deal with in the future, please go to the Marquis of Pingyang Mansion in the capital to find me. I... hey, hey, hey, stop pulling. My pants is about to fall off."
Young Marquis Qi was pulled by his friends and he felt his pants was about to fall, so he held his pants with one hand and stubbornly finished his words; "You can go to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion in the capital to find Young Marquis Qi for the matter of exorcising demons. I will inform the immortal master!"
Young Marquis Qi finally finished saying what Mo Yanliang had told him to say. Looking at his brothers, he couldn't help but felt a little annoyed: "Why are you pulling me? I haven't even finish what I was saying!"
Although Young Marquis Qi never lacked money and hod no worries about food and clothing since he was born in the Marquis' Mansion, when others talked about him in the past, they would called him a dandy young master. But just now, he was the focus of everyone's attention.
He had only enjoyed this feeling for a moment when someone pulled him inside, and in such indecent manner. How could he not be angry?
"Young Marquis, please tell us where the master has gone to and how we should apologize. We have offended the master before and we hope he won't hold it against us."
Prince Jin felt ashamed whe he said this and his usual arrogance was gone.
Seeing his good brother like this, Young Marquis Qi patted him of the shoulder and said, "I've already told you that Brother master is an expert but you still don't believe me. Are you scared now? Fine, I will say a few good words for you in front of Brother master..."
When Young Marquis Qi said this, he suddenly remembered something. After Brother master gave him instructions just now, he then flew away on his sword...
Young Marquis Qi suddenly pushed his good brothers aside and ran outside: "Brother master! Brother master, wait for me!"
