Baili An hesitated for a moment, but still pushed the door open and entered.
The girl was resting her chin on her hand, gazing out at the moonlit night. The hazy moonlight cast a indescribable ethereal beauty upon her youthful face.
Without turning around, she said directly, "I just saw your horse through this window. Weren't you going to Xijian Sect to seek help? Why have you returned?"
Baili An answered honestly, "The pig demon set up a barrier. None of us can leave the town."
The girl turned around and looked at him with a frown, "A barrier?" Then her gaze shifted slightly, and seeing the wound on his hand, she knew he wasn't lying.
Her tone dropped slightly, "A crystal barrier?"
Baili An nodded, "That's right."
She muttered in confusion, "But a seventh-rank pig demon hasn't even fully transformed into human form yet. How could it have such spiritual wisdom?"
