631 : Strange Situation

Chapter 631

Strange Situation
Translated by Jouissance of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

You XiaoMo didn’t know why he was here, but now he could finally confirm that this was an illusory world. Otherwise, how could he take one step and end up in another world?

Knowing that he couldn’t understand them, the dark-skinned man still pulled him over enthusiastically, saying a long string of words to his companions that You XiaoMo couldn’t understand. However, You XiaoMo could tell that they didn’t mean any harm

Then, You XiaoMo left with their group.

Not long later, You XiaoMo realized that he had gotten things wrong. This wasn’t Egypt, it was just that their language was similar. They weren’t black people either, just very, very tan from walking in the desert for prolonged periods of time.

These people weren’t normal mortals. You XiaoMo could sense a very slight pulse of energy from them, something only practitioners had. However, their cultivation base hadn’t even reached the lowest level of Man yet.

Their group walked on and on through the desert. During this time, there wasn’t even a hint of another person or any greenery whatsoever. They had stopped to rest once, and rehydrate themselves, before continuing in the same direction. They didn’t offer You XiaoMo any water, but he didn’t ask for any either.

He had thought that they would manage to walk out of the desert just like that, but then a group of sand bandits jumped out at them.

It was a very sudden attack, and You XiaoMo didn’t even know where they had come from. Was it possible that he simply didn’t notice?

Obviously not, what with his cultivation base!

The sand bandits were a group of men on camels, swords in hand. Due to staying in the desert for prolonged periods of time, they were also extremely tan, but their eyes were bright, greedily staring at the group, approaching with malicious smiles.

The men of the group seemed to be on guard against these people and they all drew clubs from under the camels, running up to meet the bandits. The women and children huddled together in fear, trembling.

Then the first person fell, bleeding out…

You XiaoMo began to become suspicious. This was an illusion, right? But then, when the second, then third person fell, he couldn’t stay idle any longer. Who cares if it was an illusion? Thus, he acted.

The scary and powerful bandits were dealt with almost instantly by You XiaoMo. You XiaoMo didn’t kill them, but he incapacitated their cultivation and movement.

This scene had all the men and women’s eyes wide, expressions incredulous. Then, when they looked at You XiaoMo, their expressions were no longer friendly, but fearful and even somewhat hateful.

There was only fear, no gratitude at being saved.

You XiaoMo, originally wanting to try and communicate with them, was stunned. What sort of reaction was this? He had saved them, after all, was there a need to look at him that way?

You XiaoMo didn’t take it to heart. They were just mirages anyways.

Soon enough though, he experienced constant ostracization. It was clear that they were trying to anger him, like they were testing the degree of his patience.

So You XiaoMo decided against following them. It didn’t take him long to walk out of the desert alone, and what appeared in front of him was a swath of magnificent buildings, stretching out seemingly forever.
