Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind-Chapter 59 - 52: The Enigma of the Mouth-Spewing Mists

The four characters of Mr. Liou seemed to weigh like a stone in everyone’s heart, sinking them into the mire of despair until, after a few seconds, they remembered to breathe.

Just as everyone began to relax a little, Mr. Liou continued to ask, "Do you know what it did after it opened its eyes?"

"Wha-what..." The Sect Leader of the Iron Control Sect, Ge Hongxuan, with bronze skin and a face full of horizontal flesh, a deep scar running from his left temple to his chin, usually presented himself as a fierce, tough man. Yet now, his lips were trembling with fear.

"It opened its enormous mouth, large enough to cover the sky, and spewed out a dense mist that was almost solid in nature, pouring towards Chuyun City. After spewing the mist, it disappeared into the haze. It seemed like a god, periodically showering the world with mist..."

As Mr. Liou’s voice gradually softened, the others, who had not witnessed such a shocking scene, could also sense most of it through his words.

Everyone remained silent for a long time, imagining an immense and god-like evil presence. Who could stop it?

"So, the eerie mist outside is most likely caused by this evil entity." Mr. Liou was the first to regain his composure and continued:

"We all know that evil entities can generally be divided into three types based on their abilities: flesh and blood, the five elements, and the Dream Master. The mist creature outside should belong to the five elements category of evil entities, and it must possess extremely high authority! Otherwise, it would be impossible to create such a large-scale commotion. I have seen evil entities of the five elements with my own eyes at the Divine Mountain, and even the strongest were no more than fully engulfed in flames. This also explains why even Mr. Gu of the Feather Transformation Realm could not escape from it."

"This..." Qi Daodong was so shocked that he forgot to finish the sentence ’how is this possible,’ and could only utter ’this’ without any sound.

In his youth, he traveled south and north, clearly having more knowledge of evil entities than others. He hesitantly asked:

"But... isn’t it true that the higher the authority of an evil entity, the more invisible it is? With such divine abilities, can those of the Condensed Water Realm... see it?"

Mr. Liou shook his head, clenched the Exorcism Order tightly, and put it away: "You have never seen an evil entity firsthand. If we actively wish to see them, indeed, there are cultivation limitations. But there’s another situation, where the evil entity actively steps out from invisibility to let you see it."

"A thousand years ago, before the discovery of the Divine Radiance Stone, the coastal areas were full of privately built temples by mortals, containing statues of various evil entities. They worshiped these entities, seeking to become their minions to gain power. Do you think they carved those lifelike statues based on imagination? No, it is because some mortals saw them with their own eyes."

"Then, why do they want us to see them?" Qi Daodong already knew the answer in his heart, but he still asked, tremblingly.

"Sometimes, it’s necessary for demonstrating their abilities; sometimes, to entice prey into a trap; and sometimes, because in their eyes, we are no different from ants that can be easily crushed. Would you bother to theatrically torment a dying ant?"

Nobody had expected that seven days ago, Gu Yao was still reminding everyone not to be complacent about the protection of the Divine Mountain, forgetting about the existence of evil entities. Now, the evil entity was outside the city, eyeing them covetously, and Gu Yao’s death was a renewed warning to them all.

"How did it come here? Didn’t the Divine Radiance Stones block all evil entities offshore? Even if occasionally some evil entities stepped on land by chance, isn’t there the Exorcism Bureau... how could such a powerful evil entity infiltrate here and even appear in Chuyun City. Our Chuyun City is far from the coast," Qi Daodong asked, puzzled.

You Su shook his head secretly. Having faced the terror of evil entities firsthand, he sighed at how people had indeed been too well-protected by Divine Mountain. Even for someone with Qi Daodong’s cultivation, You Su could sense his reliance on Divine Mountain and the Exorcism Bureau in his words, let alone others?

Mr. Liou did not answer this question directly. He turned to look beyond the main hall, where the eerie mist was still quietly spreading. "Do you know why Chuyun City is called Chuyun City?"

"Chuyun City is surrounded by mountains on three sides. From its establishment, this area has always been veiled with light mist, making the entire city appear as if it is born in the sea of clouds, hence the name Chuyun City."

An elderly man with white hair spoke slowly. This man was Lv Muchun, also a sect leader, who had lived in Chuyun City for over a century and was probably the person who knew Chuyun City the best.

"Hmm, but have any of you ever wondered where this mist comes from?"

"Of course, it’s due to Chuyun City’s geographical location, surrounded by mountains and the humid climate; it’s normal to have mist," Lv Muchun replied honestly, although sensing Mr. Liou might mean something more.

"What if I told you, this mist might not be entirely natural or not entirely so?" Mr. Liou’s tone carried a hint of danger.

Sparks of wisdom flashed in Lv Muchun’s old eyes, "You mean..."

"Exactly, this evil entity didn’t recently infiltrate from the coast. The reason it could evade the Divine Radiance Stones and the Exorcism Bureau is that it has been here all along! It has been deeply buried beneath Chuyun City for a thousand years!"

"A thousand years ago, the Divine Mountain created the Divine Radiance Stones, keeping the evil entities completely offshore, while the Divine Mountain Exorcism Bureau began a large-scale eradication of evil entities left on land. To this day, aside from occasionally some evil entities stepping on land by luck, the beings of the Five Continents have lived in peace and harmony, almost making us forget about the existence of evil entities."

But actually, there’s always been a theory that a thousand years ago, there were many powerful evil entities that even the Exorcism Bureau couldn’t find, hidden within the land! And a thousand years of complacency has long since made people overlook this matter. Now, the one outside the city is probably one of them, hiding beneath Chuyun City, using the natural mist as a cover, waiting for its day to reappear! And today is that day!"

Everyone fell silent, realizing that as the city lord, it was not appropriate to amplify the atmosphere of despair in such an unexpected crisis. In truth, they all knew that Mr. Liou was not exaggerating; he was merely stating what he believed to be possible facts.

"We’re dead... we’re all going to die..." Someone in the crowd murmured, breaking the deathly silence. It turned out to be Sheng Ziling, who appeared robust and strong.

"Shut up!" Mr. Liou shouted furiously, an invisible Profound Qi shot out, brushing past Sheng Ziling’s cheek, hitting the wooden pillar behind him, and exploding into a cloud of wood chips.

Everyone was startled by the city lord’s action, looking at the furious old man as if seeing him for the first time.

"We are not dead yet! If you want to die, go hide and kill yourself. Don’t embarrass yourself here!" Mr. Liou’s teeth gnashed audibly. "I’m telling you all this not to scare you, but to prepare you mentally! Whether for ourselves or the thirty thousand citizens in this city, pull yourselves together!"
