When Maya met Maisie before, Maisie was like a girl-next-door, and she was gentle and friendly.
But now, Maya thought Maisie’s gaze was terrifying now, and it was as if Maisie interrogated her.
Maya shivered, and she quickly kept away the sadness she felt.
Then, Maya hurriedly answered, ” Elder Wesley sacrificed himself to save us, and Casper is in front of the Mirefield Gate, blocking the remaining monsters to buy us some time!”
After saying that, Maya took out Wesley’s storage sack.
“This is the item that Elder Wesley wanted to deliver in Moonbright Town.”
“Casper’s in front of the Mirefield Gate? How long has he been there?” Maisie’s eyes lit up.
As she spoke, she waved at the people behind her.
Soon, a disciple walked over and took the storage bag from Maya.
“It’s been almost two hours,” Maya answered after counting the time.
When Maisie heard the news, her heart sank once again.
Nonetheless, it was better than not knowing anything.
“With the Mirefield Gate as the moat, Casper can hold on for the two hours.
He might be even on his way over.” Maisie comforted herself.
Then, she glanced at the damaged carriage and the mortals in it.
From the traces on the vehicle, Maisie already estimated how horrible the battle was before.
“Arrange two people to send Maya and the passengers to Moonbright Town.
As for the rest of you, follow me toward the Mirefield Gate!” Maisie quickly ordered.
“Maisie! I want to join you!” Maya hurriedly shouted.
Maisie stopped in mid-tracks, but she did not turn around.
Then, she answered, “Remember what Casper entrusted you with.
Wait for my return.
I might have a few things to ask you.”
After saying that, Maisie led the people, boarded the spirit boat, and immediately rushed toward the Mirefield Gate.
Maya stayed on the spot, and she watched as the spirit spot disappeared into the horizon.
Soon, sadness overwhelmed her heart.
Moreover, Maya naturally understood the meaning behind Maisie’s words.
If Maisie returned and questioned her, it meant they did not find Casper, or they only found his corpse.
‘Casper, you promised me that you’ll come back in time.
You mean what you said, right!’ Maya thought as she stated in the direction of the Mirefield Gate.
The spirit boat was much faster than the carriage provided to the mortals, and it did not take long before everyone saw the towering Mirefield Gate.
At the same time, Maisie also started receiving news about the journey.
“Elder Wesley’s signal for help was disrupted by the sudden blizzard, causing us only to get the news long after it was sent out.
Moreover, the snowstorm was too bizarre, and the monsters should not even appear in the region.
Hence, the matter is not as simple as it seems.
There’s a possibility that other cultivators are involved in this, or there may be monsters in early-stage wisdom that are causing the trouble.”
“Along the way, there’s no corpse or traces left by monsters.
This proves that no monsters passed through the Mirefield Gate up until our current location.”
“Based on Maya’s description, Casper parted with them before the Mirefield Gate to block the monsters from entering.
If we speculate from that, Casper must‘ve relied on the Mirefield Gate’s strategic location and natural danger to successfully block the monsters until now.
Of course, there’s also a possibility that the monster never had the intention to enter Mirefield Gate.”
