The woman was almost scared silly. Hearing Bai Wanxi’s words, she quickly looked up and recognized her. The woman started to wail. “Holy Maiden! A monster! A monster wants to kill me!”

Bai Wanxi’s gaze trembled slightly. She shielded the woman as she heard footsteps coming from the alley.

Immediately after, a man, no, a deformed monster, walked out of the alley.

He was burly and ten feet tall. His body was covered in all kinds of scars and tumors. His silver-white hair was loose like withered grass, covering his ugly face, which was also covered in scars. He was hunched over and looked as if he had already killed many people. His clothes were stained with dirt and blood, and his ferocious appearance was terrifying.

Bai Wanxi felt like she had seen an evil ghost crawling out of the depths of hell.

Not only that, this monster’s aura was gloomy and unfathomable. It was obvious that it was not weak.

This was the first time Bai Wanxi had encountered such a terrifying monster. She glanced at the trembling woman from the corner of her eye and reminded her in a low voice, “Leave. Go to the Bai family immediately and inform them to come and help me. Remember, we have to be fast. Otherwise, the entire White Cloud City will suffer if I can’t restrain this monster.”

The woman also realized the seriousness of the matter after hearing this. She hurriedly nodded and said, “Yes, Holy Maiden. You must be careful!”

With that, the woman didn’t dare to delay and ran out without looking back.

Bai Wanxi looked at the huge creature in front of her without any fear after sending the woman off.

She took out the long whip at her waist and walked towards the monster. “The barrier has held firm for the past few days. How did you escape?”

The barrier around the valley and forest outside White Cloud City was created by the Holy Maidens’ powers. In other words, Bai Wanxi and Bai Jiao’er would know immediately whenever there was a breach and a monster managed to escape. They could rush over to prevent any casualties then.

However, for the past few days, the monsters in the barrier had been unusually quiet. There were no signs of the barrier being breached.

Nonetheless, this monster had suddenly appeared in front of Bai Wanxi. She felt that something was amiss.

Logically speaking, the monsters would attack Bai Wanxi immediately upon seeing her. They wouldn’t stand still and wait for her like this.

Bai Wanxi even had time to instruct the woman and prepare her whip.

On the contrary, this monster looked exceptionally calm. It didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking her. It stood rooted to the ground as if it was frozen in place.

Bai Wanxi found this very strange.

This was the first time she had met such a zen monster.

However, Bai Wanxi didn’t dare to let her guard down. Instead, she walked towards the monster.

Bai Wanxi found its aura inexplicably familiar as she approached the monster.

“Have we met before?” Bai Wanxi asked tentatively.

Although the monster was ugly, it had the mind of an ordinary person. It could understand Bai Wanxi’s words.

But unexpectedly, the monster turned around and ran away without looking back.
