Chapter 757 - 540 Incense Fire God
As the sky gradually brightened.
The people in the Mountain God Temple felt both relieved and joyful at this moment. They had managed to survive a very dangerous night. Without Li Yi’s presence, Old Liu believed that most of them would have mysteriously disappeared, just like those before, perishing in this wilderness.
After the previous night’s incident, everyone treated Li Yi with special respect, considering him a high master of spells. With him around, the ghosts and spirit monsters in the mountains wouldn’t dare to come close.
"Daoist, it’s dawn. Shouldn’t we continue on our journey? If we’re late, I’m afraid we won’t make it past the three passes ahead, and we’d have to spend another night in the wilderness. While your abilities are naturally nothing to worry about, we commoners dare not take such risks."
Once everything was tidied up, Old Liu respectfully approached Li Yi to inquire.
The others also eagerly looked at Li Yi, hoping that this Daoist would travel with them, ensuring that the rest of their journey would be safe without further incidents.
Li Yi slowly opened his eyes at this moment, ending a day of cultivation, and said, "You want me to protect you for a while?"
"Not at all, not at all. We merely wish to follow the Daoist for a stretch to bask in your grace," Old Liu hurriedly replied.
Li Yi glanced at the Divine Statue in the temple and said, "To be honest, the danger you encountered last night was partly because of me. Well, I also have no fixed residence, so I’ll travel with you and see where it takes us."
