Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1252: Chapter 1249 The Talisman Spell is Destroyed (First Update)

As the first ray of sunlight touched the earth at dawn, Demon-Sealing Town awoke from its slumber.

People cautiously opened their doors and windows, apprehensively surveying the situation outside.

They had not witnessed last night’s great battle with their own eyes, but they all heard the hair-raising screams of the demon ghosts.

Especially towards the end, when the entirety of Demon-Sealing Town trembled, nearly everyone felt a sense of despair and believed they were doomed.

Yet, against all expectations, a flash of light appeared outside, and then all returned to silence.

Despite this, no one dared to peek out to see what had happened, instead waiting, filled with extreme anxiety and unease, for the dawn to come.

At this moment, upon seeing the outside world, everyone couldn’t help but take a deep breath, feeling a sense of relief at having survived a calamity.

But just then, with a creak, the door of Vermilion Tower opened, and Xing Yushu slowly emerged.

On his back, he carried Xing Yuhe, who had become frail from lying in bed for so long.

Seeing the grandfather-grandson pair, everyone’s expressions became very solemn, then looked on with eyes full of admiration.

Xing Yushu, carrying his grandfather, slowly walked through the eerily silent streets.

At each point, people silently followed behind without uttering a word.

When they passed through the main street, almost all the residents of Demon-Sealing Town stepped out of their houses and silently followed.

The guards at the city gate, upon seeing Xing Yushu and his grandfather, quickly opened the gate.

The crowd left through the city gate.

What greeted their eyes was a shocking scene.

The walls were covered with numerous cracks, and many of the Talisman Spells previously engraved on them had been severely damaged.

Seeing this, everyone’s heart sank.

The destruction meant that the Talisman Spells which Xing Yuhe had spent countless energy to arrange were now virtually washed away.

Without the protection of the Talisman Spells, Demon-Sealing Town could not withstand the invasions of demon ghosts, and it may not be long before it became like those ancient towns that disappeared in the jungle, overrun by demon ghosts, turning into a land of death.

Everyone’s faces turned very ugly, especially Xing Yushu, whose complexion was so dark it seemed water could drip from it.

Xing Yuhe, however, just glanced at the severely damaged Talisman Spells and then smiled.

”Yushu, walk a few steps forward!”

Xing Yushu carried his grandfather forward a few steps, until Xing Yuhe softly said, ”That’s good!”

Then Xing Yushu stopped.

After that, Xing Yuhe looked around, his expression gradually becoming solemn, and finally, he slowly closed his eyes.

All at once, everyone watched intensely, even holding their breath.

Xiao Rui stood in the crowd with her mother, but clearly, her attention was not on these matters.

Her head turned from side to side, her large eyes filled with hope, as if she were searching for something.

Just at that moment, Xue An slowly walked over on the street.

The instant she saw Xue An, Xiao Rui’s face burst into a radiant smile; although she didn’t dare to shout, she waved vigorously, trying to attract Xue An’s attention.

The arrival of Xue An didn’t draw the attention of the others.

When Xue An saw the excitement on Xiao Rui’s face, he couldn’t help but smile faintly, gave her a nod, and then raised his head to look at Xing Yuhe and his grandson in the distance.

At that moment, Xing Yuhe slowly opened his eyes, his gaze revealing a touch of shock and gravity.

”Grandfather, what is it?” Xing Yushu hurriedly asked.

Xing Yuhe spoke in a deep voice, ”Such a powerful Sword Intent, even stronger than those Sword Immortals I’ve encountered before, but beyond that, there is no mark or indication of identity.”

”Could it really have been a passing Sword Immortal powerhouse?” asked Xing Yushu.

”Now it seems, that is the only possibility!”

”But why did he leave directly after lending a hand, without making any contact with us?” Xing Yushu expressed his surprise.

Xing Yuhe replied with a bitter smile and a shake of his head, ”How could we possibly speculate about such an Immortal? Perhaps he was just passing by and saw Demon Ghosts causing trouble, so he helped us out on a whim! After all, a being capable of unleashing such Sword Intent is hardly different from an Immortal!”

Xing Yuhe’s voice was full of exclamation.

Xing Yushu, on the other hand, exhibited a longing look.

At this, Xing Yuhe looked up at the city wall, a complex sheen crossing his eyes, then said in a weighty tone, ”With the suppression of this residual Sword Intent, no Demon Ghosts will dare to cause mischief for at least three days, which means we have only three days to repair the Talisman Spells on the city wall! Yushu...”

Xing Yushu’s complexion tightened, ”Grandfather!”

”I simply don’t have the energy to repair so many Talisman Spells now, so this time you must lend a hand as well!”

”Me?” Xing Yushu’s face showed utter astonishment.

Xing Yuhe nodded, ”Yes!”

”But... I’ve never done it before!” Xing Yushu was still hesitant.

Xing Yuhe chuckled, ”Who was born knowing how to do it? Although at your age, it’s indeed a bit early, I don’t have much time left. If I don’t teach you these things while I’m still here, then there will truly be no chance!”

Hearing this, Xing Yushu’s eyes showed a sorrowful expression, but then he promptly bowed his head deeply, ”Understood!”

At this point, Xing Yuhe looked up at the crowd, ”Fellow villagers, you have all seen the current situation. Time is pressing. To repair the city wall and Talisman Spells quickly, we must all work together!”

No sooner had he spoken than the crowd immediately buzzed with excitement.

”Elder Xing, rest assured, such a matter concerns the safety of us all; we naturally cannot shirk our responsibilities!”

”Exactly, just give us the order, and we’ll follow without a second word!”

”Elder, you’re not well, you just need to command here, we’ll handle all the work!”

Amidst the rallying cries, Xing Yuhe smiled and nodded, ”Thank you very much! The repair of the wall is feasible, but for the Talisman Spells, we need people who can write. Do any of you know how to write?”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd that had been boiling with enthusiasm instantly fell silent, the people looking at each other, all showing difficulty on their faces.

Seeing this scene, Xing Yuhe sighed lightly, having had a premonition of this outcome.

After all, for these people, survival was challenging enough, let alone having the leisure to read and write.

Moreover, on this continent, literacy was a privilege of the nobility; for regular folks, being able to write their own name was already quite rare.

It looks like they could only rely on the two of them, grandfather and grandson.

Just as Xing Yuhe was about to give up with a wry smile.

A detached voice came from behind the crowd.

”I’ll do it!”
