Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown - Chapter 387: Side Quest?

Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Side Quest?

Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo were a bit surprised.

At this moment outside the main gate.

The square outside the gate was packed with people!

They looked like the local villagers.

And there were quite a number of them.

“What’s going on here? Didn’t you say that the Taoist Sect has no followers anymore? Why have so many people suddenly arrived?” Lu Ran asked in astonishment.

“I don’t know either, supposedly, the Taoist Sect…” Cen Yunuo started but stopped.

At this moment.

The crowd outside, upon seeing Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo come out.

Began to stir noisily.

“Huh? Isn’t that Cen Yunuo? Has Cen Yunuo returned?”

“Who’s Cen Yunuo?”

“Wasn’t he a disciple of the Daluo Palace back in the day? How come after so many years, he suddenly appeared again?”

“Something’s off, Cen Yunuo looks even younger than before!”

“Who’s that man, a new disciple of Daluo Palace?”

“Isn’t Daluo Palace deserted?”

…

The crowd chattered around them.

Cen Yunuo was puzzled.

But before she could ask.

Someone among the villagers shouted, “Cen Yunuo, since you’re here, it’s perfect. Where’s your old master? He never responded. Now you can make the decision.”

Hmm?

Cen Yunuo furrowed her brow, looking at the crowd.

A leading fat man walked out from among them.

“What do you mean? What decision?” Cen Yunuo asked calmly.

“Your Daluo Palace has occupied this Spiritual Mountain Treasure Land for many years, and now that it’s empty, shouldn’t you step aside? Your old confused master never agreed despite repeated requests, but now that the world has changed, we’re all datafied, and monsters are about to appear, we have no choice,” the fat man continued.

Yet Cen Yunuo still didn’t understand.

She glanced around at the crowd.

And said, “I know the world is different now, but what does that have to do with us stepping aside? The Daluo Palace isn’t bothering anyone by staying here, even if we stepped aside, what would that accomplish? I don’t understand what you mean.”

She originally intended to find trouble with the Great Buddha Temple with Lu Ran and then continue completing Lu Ran’s task later.

So she had left the Daluo Palace unattended.

Leaving it was really no different, as no one was guarding it.

But now, suddenly surrounded by so many people, forcing her to relinquish the Daluo Palace, Cen Yunuo was baffled.

“What, you’ve been away for years and suddenly return, and your old master hasn’t spoken to you?” the fat man asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I have indeed been away for many years and just returned today. I want to know what is going on,” Cen Yunuo’s expression was very serious at this moment.

Clearly, her master had just died.

Yet these people casually referred to him disrespectfully.

As a disciple, Cen Yunuo’s feelings were understandable.

But she still held her tongue.

After all, being reborn twice had given her enough patience.

“It’s simple, the Great Buddha Temple has taken a liking to your place, but the monks are compassionate and don’t wish to force you to relinquish such a good place. Now, your Daluo Palace has barely anyone left. What’s the point in holding onto a prime location? Why not give it to the Great Buddha Temple?” the fat man explained.

What the hell?

Cen Yunuo was dumbfounded.

The perfectly fine Taoist Ancestral Court, the Daluo Palace, relinquish it to the Buddhist Sect?

“Nonsense, our Daluo Palace is fine, why should we give it to the Great Buddha Temple? What exactly do you want!” Cen Yunuo shouted sternly.

“Don’t you get it? In today’s world, monsters rule. As soon as the Great Buddha Temple takes over this mountain, they can establish a temple to protect us, making us safe, so before that, your Daluo Palace cannot remain.” The leading fat man said.

Various small leaders also stepped forward.

“Yeah, yeah, didn’t your Taoist Sect always claim to work for our good?”

“Now’s the chance, just give your Daluo Palace to the Buddhism, that’s what’s good for us!”

“The monks of the Great Buddha Temple disdain getting into a conflict with you, so here we are.”

“Before, your old master was hemming and hawing, but never mind that.”

“Now in a datafied world, the number of monsters in the mountains is slowly increasing, we really have no choice.”

…

Everyone chimed in with their opinions.

Gradually, more and more people revealed their weapons.

Of course, not the weapons equipped by Professionals.

But farming tools like hoes, and some hunters’ bows and arrows.

“By their stance, are they trying to tear down Daluo Palace?” Lu Ran asked curiously from the side.

Cen Yunuo did not speak, but her expression was very serious.

She looked coldly at the villagers in front of her.

And said faintly: “Before datafication, weren’t there any monsters? Daluo Palace has subdued countless demons for the surrounding people that you can’t even imagine. You don’t understand that the reason you generations have lived peacefully in the Mian Mountain area is that you know nothing about the real world!”

Implying.

That Taoist Sect secretly dealt with demons and protected these people.

Truth be told, it wasn’t just these people.

Even Lu Ran didn’t quite believe it!

If Lu Ran were an ordinary person, who’d believe this!?

After all, having never seen or experienced it, it’s very difficult to believe!

And what’s the point of saying this now?

Indeed.

Right after Cen Yunuo finished speaking, some villagers shouted: “Stop with the nonsense, we didn’t come to negotiate with you today. The Daluo Palace must come down, and once it’s down, the Great Buddha Temple will take over quickly!”

Someone’s shout was like a fuse, instantly exciting and exhilarating the crowd.

Some people even started to push and crowd forward.

“Stop!” Cen Yunuo shouted loudly.

At the same time.

She pinched a piece of talisman paper in her hand, gently pressing down.

Bang!

The talisman paper exploded in her hand, falling to the ground, transforming into a wave of golden energy rippling outward.

Lu Ran turned around, sensing something.

To see something like a golden defense shield covering the top of Daluo Palace’s buildings.

Marvelous!

This wasn’t a Summoner’s skill at all, but Taoist skill from Cen Yunuo as a Daoist!

Yet it could achieve a shield-like effect, and it seemed to have quite a good protective effect?

“You fools, I will not allow anyone to touch the Daluo Palace!” Cen Yunuo shouted.

She wasn’t a fool either, knowing it was futile to explain to these people.

So she directly activated the defense shield, ignoring them.

If she didn’t explain, these people weren’t going to give up easily either.

“Whether you leave or not is your business, dismantling it is ours. Today, the Daluo Palace must come down!” the leading fat man shouted with a cold sneer.

Beside him, Lu Ran seemed to have realized something.

Murmuring as if enlightened, “This seems like a side quest.”
