The Carefree Little Immortal (Complete) - Chapter 21

Chapter Nine: Expelled from the Sect

"Impossible! How could Xiao Xuan be a fox demon... a descendant of a fox demon?" Shui Ruo shouted.

"I'll take him back to Phoenix Cliff. Whether he is or not, the truth will come out then," Yi Xunyan said coldly, staring at Xiao Xuan.

Cui Caiting seemed to shiver. With a flick of her wrist, the tip of Ru Shen's sword pressed against the skin of Yi Xunyan's neck.

Yi Xunyan's expression remained unchanged. He sighed, "Ting'er, because of the fox demon, you have been punished by the Sect Master to guard Xiaoyao Peak for over ten years. Only now are you allowed to descend the mountain. Do you still have no regrets?"

The disciples of Xiaoyao Peak and Fang Shaolin were hearing this for the first time and were all extremely surprised.

"If you don't let go, I'll really stab you," Cui Caiting threatened.

Yi Xunyan smiled at her, his eyes filled with bitterness, but his sleeve still firmly locked Xiao Xuan's neck.

Ru Shen suddenly shone brightly, clearly indicating that Cui Caiting had channeled her energy into the sword.

Fei Luo, as if waking from a dream, cried out in a trembling voice, "Senior Sister, be careful... be careful of Xiao Xuan!"

Cui Caiting glanced at Xiao Xuan, then suddenly said to Yi Xunyan, "Since he is a descendant of a fox demon, I naturally won't protect him, but he is still my disciple, so I absolutely cannot allow anyone to harm him."

"I won't harm him. I will only take him back to Phoenix Cliff and hand him over to the Sect Master for personal judgment," Yi Xunyan said.

Unexpectedly, Cui Caiting lowered her head and whispered, "Then let go. After I expel him from the sect, you can do whatever you want with him."

Upon hearing this, all the beauties of Xiaoyao Peak paled.

Xiao Xuan was even more shocked, almost fainting on the spot.

"Xunyan," Cui Caiting called softly.

Yi Xunyan's body trembled slightly, and she said in a hoarse voice, "I thought I would never hear you call me that again."

Cui Caiting's voice softened considerably: "If you won't even agree to this, Caiting will never call you that again."

Yi Xunyan stared at her for a moment, and finally said "Okay," before releasing Xiao Xuan.

"Come here," Cui Caiting said to Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan's legs felt like they were filled with mercury, and she went over with a pale face, standing woodenly in front of her with her head down.

"Xiao Xuan, what did I tell you before we went down the mountain?" Cui Caiting said softly.

Xiao Xuan trembled slightly, his face contorted with grief, and said, "Disciple was foolish, disciple was wrong."

Cui Caiting gazed at him for a long time, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions—sadness, regret, and helplessness. "You disobeyed me, which means our fate is over. From this moment on, you are no longer my disciple, Cui Caiting's disciple."

Xiao Xuan was struck dumb, his knees buckled, and he knelt down with a thud, crying out in terror, "Please don't! Master, please don't send me away!"

All the beauties paled.

Cui Caiting sighed, "Things have come to this. Now it's not up to me, nor is it up to you."

"Master, you can punish me however you like, but please don't send me away! Please don't abandon me!"

Xiao Xuan kowtowed repeatedly, weeping and wailing.

"Go," Cui Caiting said coldly. "From now on, everything depends on your own fate."

Xiao Xuan shook his head desperately, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Master..." Li Mengtang was about to say something, but Cui Caiting's sharp gaze silenced her.

The girls were at a loss, especially Shui Ruo, Xiao Wan, and Zhai Xia, whose eyes were brimming with tears.

"If you still have me in your heart as your master, if you still appreciate my nurturing..." Cui Caiting's lips didn't move, but her voice suddenly echoed in Xiao Xuan's mind. It was a secret telepathic message: "Then run away quickly, as far away as possible. From now on, live a quiet and peaceful life, and never come back."

These words were extremely weighty, leaving Xiao Xuan dumbfounded.

"If you don't leave, you'll never be my disciple again." Cui Caiting's lips remained closed.

Suddenly, a glimmer of hope appeared. Xiao Xuan's heart trembled, and he looked up at his master.

Cui Caiting was looking at him with her back to Yi Xunyan, a rare hint of anxiety in her eyes.

Xiao Xuan rose dejectedly and said to Cui Caiting, "Master, shall I go?"

Cui Caiting replied expressionlessly, "Go."

Xiao Xuan immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times deeply to her.

Cui Caiting's eyes were already moist with tears. She secretly urged him using a telepathic technique, "Go quickly. Remember, without my permission, never come looking for us, and you must never return to Xiaoyao Peak."

Xiao Xuan nodded tearfully, got up, and walked outside, turning back to look at his senior sisters every few steps.

The girls' hearts were breaking. They had just taken a step when they heard Cui Caiting shout, "Don't move! Anyone who obstructs you will no longer be my disciple."

The girls dared not move again. Shui Ruo burst into tears, and Li Mengtang quickly hugged her and tried her best to comfort her.

Xiao Wan suddenly called out, "Xiao Xuan, take some clothes with you!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan walked back in a daze, hurriedly packed his clothes and belongings in the house, and stuffed them all into his sachet. He noticed the celadon vase with a single peach blossom in the center of the vase on the windowsill, quickly went over to take it down, and carefully put it into his sachet. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, rushed to the bedside, lifted the pillow and rummaged through the blankets, and finally found the Flame-Washed Silk he had taken for Qi Ji in the corner of the bed. He was filled with remorse.

"It's all because I was greedy for pleasure and forgot Master's words, which led to this disaster..." Xiao Xuan's face was covered in tears. He untied his outer robe and tied the Flame-Washed Robe back around his waist. Then he pondered, "What exactly is that thing in my navel?

Why did my sixth uncle immediately assume I was a descendant of a demon?"

The more he thought about it, the more confused and wronged he felt. He almost rushed out to find Yi Xunyan to ask her for an explanation, but then he realized, "What Master said with his telepathic technique wasn't without room for maneuver. If I cause trouble and anger Master again, it will be terrible!"

Thinking this through, Xiao Xuan calmed down a bit. He looked around the room and found nothing of his own. So he went out of the room and headed down the mountain.

"Where are you going!" Yi Xunyan suddenly spoke, "Come with me to Phoenix Cliff."

Xiao Xuan was startled and turned to look at Cui Caiting.

Cui Caiting said, "Go your own way. Since you are not a member of the Xuanjiao sect, you don't need to listen to anyone's words."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan bypassed Yi Xunyan and walked straight out of Cuihua House. Yi Xunyan

was about to move when suddenly he was blocked by Cui Caiting, who stood in front of him with her sword drawn. His expression changed slightly, and he said, "I have already allowed you to expel him from the sect, why do you still stop me?"

Cui Caiting said, "How dare I stop you, Senior Brother? It's just that we have been separated for many years, and Caiting would like to learn a few moves from you. I hope you will be so kind as to teach me."

Yi Xunyan laughed, but anger was hidden in his laughter: "Caiting, Caiting, you have always been reasonable and trustworthy, but now you are making a fuss over this bastard. In your heart... can you really never let him go?" Cui Caiting

only said quietly, "Senior Brother, don't think too much."

A sharp light flashed in Yi Xunyan's eyes, and he said, "Do you think you can stop me?"

Cui Caiting's expression became solemn, and she held her sword horizontally against her chest as if facing a formidable enemy, and said, "Senior Brother, please."

"Wait!" Fei Luo suddenly called out, grinning, "I want to come too! Yesterday, Senior Brother said that martial arts weren't my forte, so today I'll use the Armor Control Technique to learn from you again." She then closed her eyes and silently chanted, and suddenly wisps of white mist appeared before her, swirling and gathering into a large, hazy cloud that almost completely obscured her graceful figure.

Yi Xunyan's face turned ashen.

In the blink of an eye, Fei Luo's spell was complete. With a delicate shout, a burly Kunlun slave lazily rose from the cloud of energy, over ten feet tall, its entire body a deep blue, as if sculpted from crystal.

The appearance of this rare and monstrous creature immediately caused a commotion. The beauties of Xiaoyao Peak and Fang Shaolin were relatively unharmed, but the rest were all horrified, some even quietly taking several steps back.

"You're going to fight me for that remnant too?" Yi Xunyan said coldly.

"My servant is originally a strange god from the Western Wilderness, with skin of copper and bones of iron, and immense strength. He's so powerful! Last time, he actually beat my second senior brother's Thunderous Ferocious Beast until his face was bruised and swollen..." Fei Luo said to herself, "But this servant probably won't even be able to touch the hem of your clothes, senior brother. Please be merciful, if you damage him, I'll make you pay for it."

Yi Xunyan stared into her eyes and said calmly, "Fei Luo, there have always been rumors in the sect that you have a secret affair with the fox demon, which is why the sect leader punished you to enter the True Treasure Palace to taste a hundred treasures. Is this rumor true?"

Fei Luo's jade face suddenly flushed, and a look of embarrassment and panic flashed by. She said coquettishly, "What nonsense are you talking about, senior brother? Master wants me to... wants me to... If you keep talking nonsense, I won't talk to you anymore!"

Yi Xunyan raised his head slightly and sighed softly, "Xuanxuanzi, you are truly remarkable."

Cui Caiting and Fei Luo both had peach blossoms on their faces and their anger was evident.

"I won't fight you," Yi Xunyan said, unexpectedly sitting down cross-legged.

Everyone was taken aback, especially Cui Caiting and Fei Luo.

Yi Xunyan said calmly, "You don't need to stay here. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere today."

He closed his eyes, seemingly about to meditate and cultivate his inner energy.

Everyone was puzzled. Cui Caiting and Fei Luo were suspicious, but knowing that their senior brother meant what he said, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Opportunities are predetermined, and karma is set in stone. As for that bastard... let him be," Yi Xunyan continued.

Cui Caiting stood silently for a while, then sheathed her Dream Flying Sword and said to her disciples, "Let's go." She sadly led the girls away.

Fang Shaolin bowed to Yi Xunyan and Fei Luo, ordered his demon-subduing men to help the severely injured He Tianpeng up, and hurriedly led his men down the mountain.

Fei Luo was left standing there, her face full of doubt.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Yi Xunyan asked, his eyes closed.

"I'm just keeping you company, Senior Brother," Fei Luo said sweetly, quietly chanting an incantation to put away the drowsy Kunlun slave.

"Are you afraid I'll go after that little fox?" Yi Xunyan said calmly.

"No way! Everyone knows Senior Brother is a man of his word," Fei Luo replied casually, her beautiful eyes fixed on him.

Yi Xunyan remained silent, as if in meditation.

Fei Luo's suspicions faded, and she smiled, "Well, I won't disturb you any longer, Senior Brother." She turned to leave, but suddenly felt something was wrong. Looking back, she noticed a few strands of hair on Yi Xunyan's head fluttering slightly. Her heart skipped a beat, and she exclaimed, "Senior Brother! You! You!" Yi

Xunyan didn't answer. Just then, a flash of white light appeared above him, and he silently streaked away into the distance.

Fei Luo was shocked and leaped up like a flying immortal, chasing after the white light.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Xiao Xuan left Cuihua Lodge in a daze, not knowing where to go. He stood on the mountaintop for a while, then vaguely summoned the Deer-Horned Chariot from his Ruyi Pouch, leaped onto it, and lashed out with the Flaming Dragon Whip. The four Deer-Horned Chariots immediately reared up and galloped away like lightning, disappearing from Zeyang City in the blink of an eye.

"How could it suddenly turn out like this?" Xiao Xuan was filled with grief and anger. "Sixth Uncle is so confused. I would accept it if he accused me of consorting with demons, but why does he insist that I am a descendant of demons! And what kind of mysterious person is Xuan Xuanzi? How could he be related to me?"

But then he remembered Cui Caiting and Fei Luo's earlier reactions, and then thought about the strange object in his navel. He felt guilty and fearful, and his thoughts became a jumbled mess.

Suddenly, a great roar of the tide arose. Xiao Xuan looked intently

and saw a vast expanse of misty water ahead. It turned out that the Deer-Shu chariot was moving at an astonishing speed; in this blind, frenzied rush, it had already reached the edge of the great swamp. Xiao Xuan reined in the chariot and looked out from the cliff. He saw the surging waves and rolling tides, and as far as the eye could see, the sky and water were indistinguishable, making him feel incredibly small. This scene always evoked deep emotions, and at this moment, his heart was filled with worries. His emotions rose and fell with the tide, uncontrollable. He truly felt the sorrow of heaven and earth, and tears streamed down his face.

"They insist that I am a descendant of demons, but who is my mother? Could she also be... a demon?" Questions arose in Xiao Xuan's mind, and he desperately wanted someone to answer them. But the boundless swamp seemed to leave him all alone. Who could answer? Who could answer?

"Who are my parents?" Xiao Xuan suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs towards the swamp, and then burst into tears.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning appeared from the sky, followed a moment later by a muffled clap of thunder.

Xiao Xuan, his heart aching, didn't notice at first, but then the lightning flashed several more times, each clearer and stronger than the last, seemingly rushing towards him. He then realized something was amiss. Looking at the sky, though there were clouds, it was clear and windless. He wondered, "It doesn't look like it's going to rain. Besides, lightning doesn't always happen like this."

The strange lightning bolt streaked past, rapidly approaching, and then exploded right in front of him. Xiao Xuan was blinded by the extremely bright light, his skin stinging. Alarmed, he immediately leaped back. In the chaos, something seemed to follow him like a shadow. He quickly retreated, a spark flying, disappearing more than ten feet away in an instant.

As the light dimmed, Xiao Xuan opened his eyes and saw a monstrous creature several feet away, about three feet tall, with pointed ears, green eyes, and fangs. It wore golden armor, with sparse hair on its exposed skin. In its left hand, it held a square-topped, tooth-shaped vertical shield, its surface engraved with rare lightning patterns. In its right hand, it gripped a long chain wreathed in bright light, both the shield and the chain shimmering with a faint purple glow. Its appearance was incredibly fierce and bizarre.

The monstrous creature darted forward, flashing past, and suddenly exploded in front of Xiao Xuan. The extremely bright light blinded Xiao Xuan, causing him to close his eyes and feel a sharp pain on his skin. Alarmed, he immediately leaped back. In the chaos, something seemed to follow him like a shadow. He quickly scattered sparks and retreated, instantly covering more than ten feet.

As the light dimmed, Xiao Xuan opened his eyes and saw a monstrous creature several feet away, about three feet tall, with pointed ears, green eyes, and fangs. It wore golden armor, with sparse hair on its exposed skin. In its left hand, it held a square-topped, tooth-shaped shield engraved with rare lightning patterns, and in its right hand, it gripped a long chain wreathed in bright light. Both the shield and the chain shimmered with a faint purple glow. Its appearance was incredibly fierce and bizarre.

"Hey! Where did this monster come from? How dare it ambush Grandpa Xiao Sheng!" Xiao Xuan roared, looking left and right but still unable to discern what kind of demon or monster it was.

The monster, its face full of murderous intent, remained silent, seemingly somewhat dazed. Suddenly, it hurled its chain at Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan dodged to the side, flicked his arm, and the Eight-Clawed Fiery Dragon Whip spun rapidly from his sleeve, counterattacking the enemy.

The monster raised its shield to meet the whip, and the two collided with a thunderous crash, followed by an explosion of fire and light. The monster retreated two steps, and its Fiery Dragon Whip bounced off and flew into the air.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. The monster raised its right hand, and the purple chain shot out again, striking like lightning.

"Could this monster also be part of the Skeleton Demon's gang? But it looks quite different from the other demon generals in the Skeleton Demon Cave," Xiao Xuan wondered. He swung his whip to meet the attack, noticing that the monster's purple chain was about the same length as his own Fiery Dragon Whip, and their fighting style was similar, but the moves were unpredictable and extremely strange. His competitive spirit suddenly ignited, and he immediately mustered his strength and fought fiercely.

Soon, fire dragons danced on the cliff, purple lightning flashed, grass was uprooted, trees broke, sand flew, and rocks collapsed, with occasional loud explosions and bursts of electricity—the spectacle was astonishing.

In the blink of an eye, they had been fighting fiercely for dozens of rounds. Seeing that he could not gain any advantage, Xiao Xuan became anxious and secretly thought to himself: "The Eight-Clawed Flame Dragon Whip has been refined with the marrow of the Eight-Clawed Flame Dragon's foot, and it is most good at capturing and binding. Why not use it to seize this monster's weapon?"

Once he made up his mind, he secretly made a hand seal. When he saw the monster's flying chain coming, he immediately swung the fire whip and used a tornado move to meet it.

Just as the whip and chain clashed, the Eight-Clawed Fiery Dragon Whip suddenly spun and coiled, binding the purple chain tightly like a dragon seizing a snake. The monster, however, showed no fear, its body sinking as it twisted its wrist, seemingly trying to wrestle with Xiao Xuan.

"You're still not dead!" Xiao Xuan thought with delight, straining to twist the Fiery Dragon Whip.

Little did he know that the monster was no ordinary demon; the chain in its hand was of great significance. Xiao Xuan suddenly felt something coming from the whip handle, his fingers and palms instantly going numb. Before he could recover, even his wrists were numb. Alarmed, he hesitated, unsure whether to discard the whip. This hesitation allowed the numbness to quickly spread to his chest, his true energy drastically decreasing, and he was pulled away.

The monster twisted its body, instantly appearing above Xiao Xuan. Its right arm swung rapidly, the purple chain in its hand tightly binding Xiao Xuan's body.

Xiao Xuan felt something flowing into him from all sides, his entire body going numb inch by inch, until even his heart seemed unable to beat.

The monster landed, leaping with lightning speed. Its right arm swung high, flinging the defenseless Xiao Xuan into the air, dragging him along like a kite. In the blink of an eye, their feet left the ground – a display of flight.

"Let him go!" a delicate shout rang out. A graceful figure blocked their path, a blur of flowing robes – it was Fei Luo.

The monster remained silent, charging with its shield. Fei Luo neither dodged nor evaded, forming a hand seal. Instantly, a pale purple orb of light shot out, striking the shield and sending the monster flying backward.

Fei Luo leaped into the air, reaching for Xiao Xuan in mid-air.

The monster reacted swiftly, flicking its wrist to pull Xiao Xuan to its side, then charging at Fei Luo again with its shield.

Fei Luo missed, forced to turn and fight back. Perhaps in her haste, she unleashed a torrent of wind, thunder, fire, and lightning magic from her hands, a terrifying display of power. Countless bolts of lightning and flames flew through the air, accompanied by a storm of energy.

The monster parried and dodged, staggering and retreating, but its purple shield, some unknown divine artifact, remained completely unharmed, its defense impenetrable. Xiao Xuan, however, was slightly affected, his blood churning.

Fei Luo's attacks weakened, and she stopped her pursuit, panting heavily. Suddenly, she pulled a shimmering purple hairpin from her temple, her face contorted with rage, and shouted, "If you don't release him, I'll make you, you little devil, perish here!"

The monster remained focused on its defense, still holding Xiao Xuan, and remained silent.

Xiao Xuan, dizzy and disoriented, looked across and saw Fei Luo standing opposite him, hairpin in hand. He was overjoyed: "Uncle Fei Luo is going to use the Purple Rhinoceros Hairpin! This wretched monster is surely doomed!"

But after a moment, seeing Fei Luo make no further move, he grew anxious: "What is she doing? Why isn't she attacking?"

The monster, too, remained motionless, its eyes fixed on Fei Luo's hand holding the hairpin.

Xiao Xuan's body grew increasingly numb, his limbs almost completely devoid of feeling. He noticed Fei Luo glance at him hesitantly and suddenly understood: "She must be afraid of accidentally hurting me." He opened his mouth, wanting to tell Fei Luo not to worry about him, but no sound came out.

Seeing Xiao Xuan's increasingly pale face, and her own growing paler, Fei Luo suddenly leaped into the air, swooping down on the monster. This time, unexpectedly, she didn't use any techniques.

The monster, constantly on the defensive, couldn't resist attacking with its shield under no pressure.

Fei Luo pounced, seemingly intending to smash the enemy's shield with her own flesh and blood.

The monster unleashed its power, and its seemingly flawless defense finally revealed a gap.

Fei Luo's waist suddenly bent, and she floated in the air with incredible grace, her sleeves fluttering. A gentle, wind-like force pierced through the fleeting opening—the most ingenious move in the Lesser Four Symbols Technique—"Hidden Wind Enters the Dream."

The monster suddenly felt a tightening in its right hand, and Xiao Xuan, who was bound by chains, was pulled away. Startled, its left arm, holding the shield, missed its target.

Fei Luo caught Xiao Xuan in mid-air, feeling a surge of joy, when suddenly she felt something coming from the purple chains binding him. Her hand and arm went numb, and she was startled.

"Quick...let go!" Xiao Xuan groaned.

Fei Luo refused to let go, hastily channeling her energy to resist, but the numbness spread rapidly and relentlessly. Suddenly, her chest went numb, her energy failing, and both of them were pulled down by the purple chains.

"Let me go!" Xiao Xuan shouted with all his might, but Fei Luo instead wrapped her arm tightly around him without hesitation.

The monster raised its shield and leaped, crashing into the two of them with the force of a thunderbolt.

Fei Luo saw this and quickly twisted, forcefully moving Xiao Xuan aside.

A terrifying thud followed as the purple shield struck Fei Luo's back with tremendous force.

The two plummeted into the distance like drifting catkins, splattering a shocking trail of bright red blood in the air.

The tenth chapter, "The Beauty's Favor ,"

saw them crash heavily to the ground. Fei Luo, still clinging to Xiao Xuan, vomited blood, which slickly and warmly drenched the man's chest.

"Uncle-Master!" Xiao Xuan groaned in shock and pain.

The monster swiftly pursued, raising its purple shield high, then crashing down like a mountain.

In that instant, Fei Luo swiftly swung her hand back, and a flash of purple lightning shot out, striking the monster squarely in the chest, shattering the breastplate embedded in its golden armor, passing right through its body.

The monster shuddered, hovering precariously in mid-air.

"Die!" Fei Luo gritted her teeth, her right hand forming a delicate, orchid-like gesture, the purple lightning that had shot into the sky suddenly veered back, piercing diagonally into the monster's head.

"Ugh..." The monster let out a low, hoarse wail, its body crashing to the ground and shattering into pieces, thick green blood splattering far and wide.

Xiao Xuan was overjoyed and wanted to cheer, but he could barely utter a sound.

Fei Luo struggled to her feet, loosening the purple chains that tightly bound Xiao Xuan, panting as she tossed her aside. Exhausted, she suddenly vomited a small mouthful of blood and fell back onto Xiao Xuan.

"Uncle-Master, how badly are you hurt?" With the strange purple chains gone, Xiao Xuan felt the numbness greatly reduced and was finally able to speak.

"Don't speak, quickly regulate... regulate your inner energy, there might still be... more enemies," Fei Luo said with difficulty.

Xiao Xuan's heart tightened, and he quickly did as she was told to regulate his inner energy.

Fei Luo nestled against his chest and also began to silently regulate her inner energy to heal herself.

Although Xiao Xuan had been paralyzed by the strange chain for a long time, he was fortunately unharmed. His inner energy soon returned, and seeing Fei Luo still meditating with her eyes closed, he dared not move, afraid of disturbing her.

The sky was high and the clouds were light, the breeze gentle and refreshing. Fei Luo's soft black hair swayed gently, tickling Xiao Xuan's face. He stared blankly at the beauty with blood still clinging to her lips, his heart pounding: "She risked her life to save me!"

Suddenly, Xiao Xuan recalled their first encounter. They had been pressed together like this, upside down, yet their faces were still so close, their breasts so soft and yielding. This woman had saved him in his most critical moment.

And the sweet, intoxicating fragrance still lingered in his nostrils.

Xiao Xuan quietly and greedily inhaled the scent. His memory suddenly returned to a cool, breezy night, to a pavilion surrounded by banana trees, to a narrow, chaotic stone bench, and a wave of longing washed over him.

At this moment, Fei Luo's breathing gradually evened out, and a trace of color began to return to her snow-white face.

Xiao Xuan was in a daze, the sound of waves crashing in his ears, a gentle breeze caressing his skin. He gazed at the stunning beauty before him for a long time, something seemingly brewing and fermenting within him, making him increasingly intoxicated and ecstatic. Unbeknownst to him, a certain part of his body was undergoing a change.

"Hmm?" Fei Luo suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, looking at him in surprise. "You…"

Xiao Xuan then realized his own shamelessness, his ears turning red instantly. He stammered, "I…I didn't…

I didn't mean to…it's just a little…a little hot."

Fei Luo's jade-like face flushed slightly, and she bit her lip, saying, "You can move now?"

Xiao Xuan nodded.

"Then help me up," Fei Luo said.

Xiao Xuan quickly propped himself up and carefully helped her sit up.

Fei Luo sat cross-legged and said, "You protect me while I meditate for a while, and I'll be fine."

"Yes," Xiao Xuan replied, immediately standing up to stand guard.

Fei Luo closed her eyes again and continued to meditate and heal herself.

"Damn it! My martial aunt was injured like this to save me, and I was having such thoughts! This is so embarrassing..." Xiao Xuan's face was burning, and he forcibly pulled his gaze away from Fei Luo, seeing the monster's corpse, and walked closer to examine it.

"I wonder what this thing is? Its blood is green, and its weapon is strange and powerful..." Xiao Xuan pondered this, and suddenly remembered the purple chain. He immediately looked around and soon saw the purple chain and purple shield lying not far away, both still shimmering with a purple light.

He walked quickly, bent down to pick it up, and the moment his fingertips touched the chain, he felt a sudden numbness. Startled, he quickly withdrew his hand. Upon closer inspection, he noticed a handle at one end of the purple chain. He tested it with his finger and, finding no discomfort, picked it up with peace of mind.

Xiao Xuan observed the purple chain for a moment, then casually swung it around. He found it to be just the right weight and easy to handle, and couldn't help but exclaim with delight, "This treasure is so wondrous and powerful! I wonder what its origin is? Does it have a name?"

He then picked up the purple shield to examine it, thinking, "The colors and patterns are extremely similar. It seems this shield and chain are a pair... Hmm, since they're both rare items, and someone has delivered them to my door, I might as well take them!"

With this thought, he put both extraordinary weapons into his Ruyi Pouch.

Xiao Xuan returned to Fei Luo's side and stayed by her side for a while. Finally, he saw her slowly withdraw her cultivation technique, open her eyes again, and exclaim happily, "Uncle-Master, are you alright?"

Fei Luo nodded and said, "I've recovered about 70-80%. That Mao Shen's magic power and martial arts skills seem ordinary, but his weapon is extremely strange and powerful. With one strike of that shield, it shattered most of my protective true energy."

"Not fully recovered yet?" Xiao Xuan's heart tightened.

"It's nothing serious. I'll be fully recovered in two or three days," Fei Luo said.

"That monster is so hateful. It attacked without warning right away. It's really inexplicable!" Xiao Xuan wondered, "Could it be that it's also one of the Skeleton Demon's gang?"

Fei Luo shook her head and said, "No, it's not one of the Skeleton Demon's people, nor is it a monster."

"Not a monster?" Xiao Xuan asked curiously, "It doesn't look like a monster?"

"It was brought here by your Sixth Uncle-Master. It's a god," Fei Luo said calmly.

"A god?" Xiao Xuan was stunned.

"Yes, he is a Thunder General from the Upper Realm, brought here by your Sixth Martial Uncle to capture you," Fei Luo continued.

"A Thunder General from the Upper Realm? Sixth Martial Uncle can... can command a Thunder General from the Upper Realm?" Xiao Xuan's mouth dropped open, almost doubting whether he had misheard.

"That's not surprising. Many people in the sect can command ghosts and gods. Your Sixth Martial Uncle is just one of them."

"Commanding ghosts is not surprising, but commanding gods is..." "

There is a type of Armor Control Technique that is specifically for commanding Thunder Generals from the Upper Realm. You must be familiar with it. In Taoism, it is called the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, the Thunder Palace True Words, the Thunder Department True Scripture, etc. In our sect, it is called the Thunder Secret Scripture, which consists of 190 Thunder Techniques. Each Thunder Technique corresponds to a Thunder Palace God General. Your Sixth Martial Uncle probably knows a few of them," Fei Luo explained.

"My God! So, as long as you know one Thunder Technique, you can command a Thunder General from the Upper Realm?" Xiao Xuan found it hard to believe.

Fei Luo said, "That's right. The Thunder Palace in the Upper Realm has five courts: Heaven, God, Dragon, Water, and Earth God, with a total of 190 Thunder Generals. Among them, the Earth God, also known as the Demon Thunder, is the most extraordinary. Its subordinates are mostly stubborn spirits who are not under the command of the Heavenly Court, but are only subject to various thunder spells. It is said that your sixth senior uncle is most skilled at controlling the Thunder Generals of this court

. The hairy god just now was most likely one of the Earth Gods." Xiao Xuanqiao said, "No wonder your sixth senior uncle was able to subdue the forty-nine demon kings and become famous throughout the Great Wilderness. It turns out that he is familiar with such divine methods."

"No," Fei Luo shook her head and said, "Your sixth senior uncle is a master of Qi cultivation. His most powerful technique is the True Qi of Righteousness that my sect uses to ward off evil spirits. Eight or nine out of ten demon leaders and monsters have been killed by his method." "

Sixth senior uncle knows so many powerful techniques!" Xiao Xuan exclaimed in admiration.

"In truth, those with truly profound cultivation avoid using thunder magic casually, because thunder is the pivot of heaven and earth, and thunder magic is the command of heaven. Its methods are exceptionally complex and the process of initiating it is lengthy and slow. Moreover, if there is the slightest mistake, it will provoke a backlash from the thunder general. It is truly the most dangerous type of armor-controlling technique, and many ignorant people in the mortal realm have lost their lives because of it."

Fei Luo paused, then continued, "That is why our sect has always discouraged the practice of such methods. Your sixth senior uncle was forced to use this dangerous technique because we stopped him just now."

Xiao Xuan suddenly became sad: "Uncle-Master, what exactly did Sixth Senior Uncle say?"

Fei Luo stared at him intently, remaining silent for a long time.

"What Sixth Senior Uncle said... is it all true?" Xiao Xuan's face turned pale.

Fei Luo sighed softly, her eyes filled with pity, worry, and helplessness.

"I really... really am a descendant of demons?" Xiao Xuan said in a trembling voice.

Fei Luo reached out and gently stroked his cheek, softly saying, "No matter who your parents are, you are innocent."

This answer was tantamount to an indirect affirmation. Xiao Xuan felt weak all over, trembling slightly, looking utterly pitiful.

"Don't be afraid..." Fei Luo's heart ached at the sight, and she suddenly pulled him into her arms, her voice becoming even gentler: "I won't let anyone hurt you."

Xiao Xuan felt a warmth in his chest and suddenly burst into tears: "Master... doesn't want me anymore!"

Fei Luo gently stroked his hair and said, "Silly boy, your master didn't abandon you, but had no choice."

Xiao Xuan choked out, "Why is this happening? Why did it suddenly become like this?"

Fei Luo was speechless for a moment.

"What exactly happened?" Xiao Xuan asked, tears welling in his eyes. "Uncle-Master, please tell me everything you know."

"I'm not entirely sure either. There are still many things I don't understand. I'll explain them to you in detail another day." Fei Luo's words were vague. After a pause, she continued, "Right now, the most important thing is for you to leave here quickly and find a secluded place to hide."

"I won't hide! Why should I hide?" Xiao Xuan exclaimed excitedly. "Although I am a descendant of demons, I haven't done anything evil!"

Fei Luo sighed. "You haven't done anything evil, but since you are a descendant of the Xuanhu and possess the Innate Tai Xuan that countless gods and demons covet, once your Sixth Uncle-Master returns to Phoenix Cliff and reports this to the Sect Master, the news will spread, and you will inevitably face constant danger. At that time, I'm afraid no one can protect you."

Xiao Xuan stared in disbelief, touching his abdomen. "Is the thing in my belly the Innate Tai Xuan? What exactly is it?"

Fei Luo said, "I'll tell you that later. Now, I'll take you to a place that is relatively secluded and safe. Let's hide there for a few days first."

"Where?" Xiao Xuan asked.

Just then, the surroundings suddenly darkened, and the two turned to look, only to see several enormous streaks of crimson energy shooting into the sky not far away, staining the sky blood red—a magnificent yet terrifying sight.

"What...what is this?" Xiao Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

Fei Luo stared intently, remaining silent.

"Ah, over there...that looks like the lair of the Skeleton Demon!" Xiao Xuan cried out, "Could these crimson energies be coming from the Skeleton Demon's lair?"

Fei Luo remained silent, her expression growing increasingly grave.

In that short moment, the streaks of crimson energy formed a massive, sky-covering blood-red curtain in the air. Xiao Xuan felt a sudden chill run down his spine: "Could it be some kind of evil magic?"

"Hmm, it's evil magic, a super-large evil magic!" Fei Luo finally spoke, "The skeletal evil is about to launch a major attack."

"They're going to attack?" Xiao Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

"Look closely, which direction is this blood cloud moving?" Fei Luo asked. Xiao Xuan stared intently, only to see the huge blood curtain rolling slowly in the air like waves, and

said, "It seems to be heading north..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that it was heading in the direction of Zeyang City. ********** ... Suddenly, without warning, the sky and earth rapidly darkened, and everything was tinged with a terrifying blood-red hue. This strange phenomenon caused all the soldiers and laborers to stop what they were doing and look up. They saw a vast expanse of red clouds silently surging in from the southern horizon, rolling and churning like a tidal wave. Although this place was inland, it was located on the edge of a vast, sea-like marshland, and the people of Zeyang were already accustomed to the unpredictable weather, similar to that of the coast. However, this time was clearly different from usual. For some reason, everyone's heart began to pound inexplicably. "That...why are those clouds red?" someone exclaimed in surprise. The red clouds surged closer and closer, seemingly slowly, but in a moment they obscured the clear sky, making the surroundings increasingly dark and hazy. Then, a large patch of unsettling dark red dust suddenly rose on the horizon. "What's going on?" someone asked in a trembling voice. But no one answered. "Whoosh!" A long, eerie sound suddenly echoed through the air. From within the churning, dark red dust, several enormous shadows emerged, approaching shoulder-to-shoulder. "What's that?" "What the hell?" A commotion arose on the city wall. All the soldiers and laborers stared wide-eyed at the approaching giant figures. Finally, the figures emerged completely from the dust, and the soldiers and laborers on the wall were horrified to discover that they were several towering, skeletal monsters. Each monster was surrounded by a dense swarm of skeleton warriors of all shapes and sizes, each wielding chillingly strange weapons, their forms menacing and poised to pounce. Then, the soldiers and laborers on the wall noticed that behind each giant skeletal monster emerged squads of skeleton soldiers, their armor impeccable, their ranks orderly, their presence chilling and menacing. The scene before them was truly shocking and terrifying; the soldiers and laborers guarding the city walls were all dumbfounded and horrified. Several gigantic skeletal monsters continued to approach with meteor-like strides, each step causing the entire city to tremble slightly. "My God! Skeletons!" Finally, someone snapped out of their daze, their voice filled with panic. The city walls erupted in chaos. "It's terrible! The evil army is attacking!" "Heavens, how can there be so many!" "How can there be such huge monsters!" "Quickly, report to the lord!" Amidst the boiling chaos, a military officer finally roared: "All of you, back to your positions! Take up your weapons!" Volume Six: The Mighty Great Swamp, Chapter One: The Demonic Force Overwhelms As if the end of the world had arrived, the once azure sky vanished in an instant, replaced by rolling, blood-red clouds, thick and heavy like mountains pressing down. Beneath the blood-red clouds, surrounded by a group of fully armed soldiers, Fang Shaolin, clad in a thousand-crane battle robe, stood atop the city wall. His robes were occasionally lifted by a strong gust of wind, revealing gleaming silver scales beneath, but his expression remained frozen, unmoved by the wind. To his sides and behind him stood skilled warriors who had rushed to his aid, each with a solemn expression, holding their breath and desperately trying to conceal the fear that occasionally flickered in their eyes. The beauties of Xiaoyao Peak, led by Cui Caiting, stood quietly a short distance away. Their slender waists and flowing robes made them appear delicate and fragile amidst the chilling armor and forest of weapons, like flowers in a thicket of thorns, strikingly beautiful. Before Zeyang City, the skeletal army surged forth like a tide, a crimson torrent, its killing intent soaring to the heavens. Li Mengtang gasped, gazing at the densely packed, varied skeletons, and exclaimed, "They're all demonized blood skeletons!" Cui Caiting, however, stared at the blood-red clouds in the sky and slowly said, "And they're aided by powerful evil magic that enhances their combat strength. Zeyang City is probably doomed." Xue Han glanced at the so-called experts who had come to their aid and whispered, "Can't those people help?" Before Cui Caiting could answer, Li Mengtang shook her head and replied, "I just saw them. I didn't see any real masters. The strongest were just a few Taoist priests from the Zixiao Sect. Alas, in such a large-scale battle, their role is even less than that of the three hundred demon-subduing warriors from Dangmo Fortress." Xia Xiaowan said, "Isn't Sixth Uncle here too? He's incredibly powerful and has supernatural abilities. How could he not be able to deal with these evil spirits?" " These past few years, he's stopped caring about worldly affairs," Cui Caiting seemed to sigh softly. "Could he bear to watch Zeyang fall and its people suffer?" Xiaowan asked, puzzled. Cui Caiting remained silent, her gaze shifting from the sky to the calm and composed stare at the city's front. The skeleton army drew ever closer, with several towering, terrifying skeletons at the forefront, each stride covering several meters. Within their eye sockets, skeleton sorcerers began wielding their magical weapons, unleashing a powerful, almost tangible, aura that silently swept over the defenders of Zeyang City. The city's defenders were mostly the Imperial Tiger Head Army, highly trained and battle-hardened, and protected with talismans against the aura. Yet, this still caused considerable commotion. Gazing at the nightmarish approach of the Hellish Tower and the skeleton army, a sense of powerlessness and despair welled up within each of them. "One, two, three..." Xiao Wan counted on her fingers, her face pale, "There are eight large skeletons in total! No wonder their aura is so strong. If we hadn't prepared protective talismans beforehand, we would have lost this battle before it even started." "I'm afraid there are more than that. Last time, we saw seven or eight over Wangze. This time, they're attacking Zeyang, which is heavily fortified. I'm afraid they'll all come out in full force," Li Mengtang said. Xue Han said in a deep voice, "A fierce battle is inevitable today. Everyone be careful, especially be wary of that old skeleton demon." Zhai Xia, standing to the side, shivered and said, "Those blood spiders are also terrifying..." Cui Caiting looked at Shui Ruo and saw that she seemed distracted. She frowned and called out, "Shui Ruo!" "Ah?" Shui Ruo seemed to wake up from a dream. "Now is not the time to think nonsense! We'll talk about everything after this battle," Cui Caiting said. "Yes," Shui Ruo replied softly, still feeling uneasy. "Keep an eye on her," Cui Caiting quietly instructed Li Mengtang. "Hmm," Li Mengtang responded. Another long, eerie sound echoed through the air, and the skeleton army suddenly surged forward like a raging sea, its momentum terrifying. The skeleton archers clinging to the eight hellish towers drew their bows, and strange streaks of green light shot into the sky, trailing long, fiery arcs as they crashed down onto the city walls.

The Tiger-Headed Army on the city wall hastily raised their thick shields, instantly forming countless walls of bronze and iron, almost blocking all the hellfire. However, the hellfire did not extinguish upon hitting the ground, and dozens of soldiers were splashed with the fireballs, immediately rolling on the ground howling, appearing mad. This terrified the onlookers, who scattered in all directions, and the formation became increasingly chaotic.

As for the so-called capable and extraordinary people who came to help, they were even more panicked. Many people frantically dodged, creating chaos, and some even secretly regretted coming to their deaths.

Fang Shaolin's face was ashen, and he suddenly shouted: "Activate the divine weapons! Prepare to fire!"

As the order was given, the mysterious behemoths placed every twenty or thirty feet on the city wall were all stripped of their tarpaulins. They were shaped like cabinets, more than two feet long and nearly eight feet wide, with arms, strings, and grooves. On the sides were boxes and wheels, and many places were engraved with various talismans of different sizes. These were the Mountain-Opening Divine Crossbows that Fei Luo had been supervising the production of in recent days.

At this moment, the eight Hell Towers had approached to within fifty or sixty feet of the city. The various skeletons clinging to them were clearly visible. Each tower had over twenty skeleton archers, over twenty skeleton grapplers, and nearly a hundred skeleton axemen, all baring their fangs and claws, poised to devour.

With a series of sharp, clattering sounds, the crossbowmen rapidly cranked and pedaled, manipulating the mechanisms to draw back the long strings of each Mountain-Splitting Divine Crossbow. The massive arrows, poised to be released, began to slowly adjust their direction and angle, aiming at their respective targets under the command of their officers.

Fang Shaolin waved his hand, and the officer beside him immediately shouted sharply, "Fire!"

Several heart-wrenching muffled sounds followed, and over ten Mountain-Splitting Divine Crossbows simultaneously released their strings. The massive arrows, as thick as pillars, whistled out and shot towards the eight Hell Towers with lightning speed.

With a deafening roar, a giant arrow struck the shoulder of a Hell Tower, instantly shattering it into countless fragments. The dozen or so skeleton soldiers clinging to it were thrown from the air and plummeted to the ground, shattering into pieces.

Xiao Wan clapped and cheered, but noticed the solemn expressions of those around her. Looking around, she realized that only this Hell Tower had been hit in the first volley; the rest had missed.

This single Hell Tower, however, was not destroyed. It swayed for a moment, then quickly regained its balance under the control of the six skeleton sorcerers within its eye sockets, and continued its shaky advance.

The defenders on the city walls paled.

"These monsters are truly the best weapons for sieges. It seems that apart from the Mountain-Splitting Crossbow, ordinary defensive equipment is useless against them," Xue Han gasped.

"They're practically high-speed ladders with incredible carrying capacity and defensive capabilities!" Li Mengtang added.

"But why are the crossbows so inaccurate?" Xue Han frowned.

"They're hard to aim at, these giant skeletons are so fast," Li Mengtang said. "Besides, the Mountain-Opening Crossbow was only made a few days ago, and the crossbowmen haven't had enough time to train." "

That's troublesome. There are less than three hundred finished crossbow bolts made from the Treasure Bottle Bamboo. Wasting one means one less!" Xiao Wan said nervously.

As they spoke, the second round of firing thundered out. This time the situation was slightly better. Three giant bolts hit the Hell Demon Towers, but unfortunately, none of them hit vital points. None of the eight Hell Demon Towers fell or stopped. Those hit only slowed down slightly, while the rest continued to advance. The foremost tower had already trampled the deer antlers and crossed the not-so-shallow moat with ease. Its long, giant bony arms seemed to be able to touch the city wall with a single stretch.

At this distance, the defenders on the city walls felt the terror of the monsters in front of them even more. Although the protective talismans had resisted most of the aura, the visual and psychological fear still spread like a plague. After all, this was the first time they had encountered such an enemy.

Zeyang City, the largest town on the Daze Plain, has always been a military stronghold. Its city walls, six to eight zhang high, are rare even within the imperial territory. Yet, this height only reaches the chest and abdomen of the Hell Tower.

When the nightmarish colossal shadow looms overhead, even the iron-fisted Tiger Head Army begins to waver and scatter, some even collapsing to the ground. Even the officers' threatening gestures with their swords are ineffective.

Faced with such a terrifying behemoth, traditional defensive weapons and siege equipment such as logs, cannons, bows, and crossbows seem so weak and useless at this moment.

Fang Shaolin strode to the nearest mountain-opening crossbow and shouted sharply at the terrified crossbowmen, "Shoot again! Shoot its head!"

The crossbowmen snapped out of their daze and hurriedly cranked the mechanism, adjusting the crossbow bolts to aim at the massive head of the Hell Tower that had reached the city.

Suddenly, the Hell Tower, having reached the city's edge, raised an arm high and crashed down upon the city walls with thunderous force. A deafening roar followed, and several meters of the city walls collapsed as if made of mud, instantly turning dozens of soldiers who couldn't escape into dust.

Almost simultaneously, a giant arrow whistled through the air, piercing the Hell Tower right through the wall, scattering bones and countless filthy organs and blood everywhere. But the Hell Tower was incredibly powerful; controlled by the six skeleton sorcerers within its eye sockets, it slammed wildly into the damaged wall, nearly doubling the size of the collapse. Skeleton warriors, clinging to its body, leaped down, howling and snarling as they charged towards the defenders behind the battlements.

"What a pity!" Fang Shaolin thought to himself, yelling at the flustered crossbowmen, "What the hell are you panicking for! Again!

Shoot it in the head! If you miss, I'll chop off your head!"

His usual composure vanished in an instant.

"

They're attacking Zeyang!" Xiao Xuan cried out in alarm.

"Find a secluded place to hide for now. I'll go back to Zeyang City and check things out. I'll send you away once things calm down," Fei Luo said.

"No! I won't go!" Xiao Xuan said.

"Won't go? Do you want to be captured?" Fei Luo said.

"Zeyang City is on the verge of collapse, and you are all fighting a bloody battle there. How can I stand idly by?"

Xiao Xuan said resolutely, "I must go back to Zeyang to help."

"Go back to Zeyang to help? You'll only make things worse!" Fei Luo glared at him and said, "If you go back, no one will know, but your sixth uncle will be the first to arrest you

. Won't that cause your master to turn against him?" Xiao Xuan was speechless for a while before saying, "Then... I'll go back secretly, just be careful not to be seen by my sixth uncle."

"Your sixth uncle is extremely skilled in tracking. Think about it, he can still capture you here, so how can you hide it from him when you go back to Zeyang?" Fei Luo said irritably.

"Uncle, tell me, what will happen if I'm captured by him and taken to Phoenix Cliff to see the Sect Master?" Xiao Xuan suddenly asked.

Fei Luo looked at him without speaking.

"Even if I am a descendant of demons, I haven't done anything heinous. Would the Sect Master really... kill me?" Xiao Xuan continued to ask.

"The Venerable One is of high moral character and benevolence; he won't kill you..." Fei Luo sighed softly, "But I suspect he will most likely imprison you...forever."

Xiao Xuan shuddered. For him, losing his freedom was far more terrifying than death.

"Why?" Xiao Xuan asked bitterly, "Since I haven't done anything wrong, why treat me like this?"

"Because there's a legend in the Upper Realm that says, 'When the Xuan Fox appears, chaos will surely ensue.' And as it turns out, this is not unfounded; the previous two generations of Xuan Foxes caused upheavals and chaos throughout the Three Realms," Fei Luo said.

Xiao Xuan stared in disbelief.

"Therefore, you absolutely must not return to Zeyang," Fei Luo concluded.

"But you are all here..." Xiao Xuan cried out anxiously.

Fei Luo pleaded earnestly, "We're already busy enough, and we might not even be able to hold onto Zeyang City. Don't cause any more trouble! Anyway, Zeyang City won't miss you."

Xiao Xuan was still unwilling to give up. His eyes darted around, and he said, "How about this? I'll just sneak around to the vicinity of Zeyang City and specifically target small groups of evil spirits. I'll take down as many as I can, even if it's just to help a little."

"No, the demonic forces around Zeyang are undoubtedly overwhelming right now. If things go wrong, we'll be surrounded." Fei Luo rejected the idea. "

Uncle-Master..." Xiao Xuan cried out anxiously, grabbing the beauty's sleeve and pleading, "We have to think of something!"

"Aren't you going to listen to me?" Fei Luo said sternly, "Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

"I haven't forgotten!" Xiao Xuan quickly replied, "I remember it all the time, but... but it's really hard for me to watch you risk your lives like this."

Seeing that he wouldn't listen to her advice, Fei Luo grew anxious. She pondered for a moment, then her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "I've got it."

"What?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"Zeyang City is the largest town on the Daze Plain, a strategic military stronghold. Not only is the city well-fortified and well-supplied, but it's also heavily guarded." Fei Luo said as she thought.

Xiao Xuan listened attentively.

Fei Luo continued, "The Skeleton Demons want to take Ze Yang, so they'll all come out in force. Right now, their nest must be quite weak and vulnerable..."

"Ah!" Xiao Xuan exclaimed, "So, Martial Aunt wants to launch a surprise attack on their lair?"

Fei Luo smiled, "We're near their lair right now, why don't we go take a look?"

"Shall we go together?" Xiao Xuan asked excitedly.

"Yes," Fei Luo nodded, "A large part of the evil power of this nest of demons comes from the Gathering Resentment and Binding Spirit Array. The Source Demon Power Pool is key. Let's see how lucky we are, whether we can find and destroy it inside their lair."

"Excellent! Excellent! Martial Aunt is truly resourceful and courageous!" Xiao Xuan was delighted and kept praising her.

"In that case, you've already helped without having to return to Ze Yang," Fei Luo said.

"I know where to go down, and I know the approximate locations of those blood pools!" Xiao Xuan said.

"You lead the way," Fei Luo said.

"Ah!" Xiao Xuan exclaimed, "So, Martial Uncle wants to ambush their lair?"

Fei Luo smiled and said, "We're near their lair right now, why don't we go take a look?"

"Shall we go together?" Xiao Xuan asked excitedly.

"Yes." Fei Luo nodded, "A large part of the evil power of this den of demons comes from the Gathering Resentment and Binding Spirit Array. The Source Demon Power Pool is key. Let's see how lucky we are, whether we can find and destroy it inside their lair."

"Excellent! Excellent! Martial Uncle is truly resourceful and brave!" Xiao Xuan was delighted and kept praising her.

"In that case, you've already helped without having to return to Zeyang." Fei Luo said.

"I know where to go down, and I also know the approximate location of those blood pools!" Xiao Xuan said.

"You lead the way." Fei Luo said.

Not long after, the two of them found the deep cliff that was completely covered by trees and bushes.

"The skeleton's lair is down there!" Xiao Xuan pointed ahead and said, "I fell down from here last time, it's very deep. Both cliff faces are paved with smooth brick walls, there's nothing to climb, we need to think of a way..."

Fei Luo observed for a moment, then suddenly reached out and grabbed his belt, unexpectedly leaping forward, relying on the immortal's flying technique to jump directly down.

Xiao Xuan took the opportunity to open his arms and hug the beauty's slender waist, snuggling close to her delicate body and inhaling her fragrance, feeling both intoxicated and admiring: "I wonder when I will be able to cultivate to this level..."

After a few breaths, the two landed. Just as Xiao Xuan was about to speak, he suddenly heard Fei Luo let out a soft groan in the darkness, as if she had vomited blood. He was shocked and asked, "What's wrong?" He quickly went over to support her.

"So...so strange lightning power..." Fei Luo gasped, feeling a powerful and strange force invading and disturbing her body, her true energy and spiritual energy were in disarray, and her body felt weak.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan panicked and asked, "What should we do? Shall I transfer some of my inner energy to you?"

"No need, let me adjust my breathing and see. You protect me," Fei Luo said, struggling to sit cross-legged.

Xiao Xuan agreed and stood guard beside her, listening intently to the surrounding sounds.

The Skull Fruits seemed to have swarmed out, and for a long time, no unusual noises were heard.

After half an incense stick's time, Fei Luo finally said, "It seems to be better."

"Seems to be better?" Xiao Xuan asked.

Fei Luo said, "Hmm, that shield of the Mao God is incredibly powerful. The lightning energy it contains is extremely rare and strange. I clearly felt it was completely dispelled earlier, but just now when I circulated my true energy, a wisp of it somehow sneaked out from somewhere. It was in mid-air at the time, and I couldn't use my energy to resist it. It was very dangerous."

Xiao Xuan asked in surprise, "Uncle-Master, doesn't your Lesser Four Symbols Technique include lightning-based methods? How could that lightning energy have escaped?"

Fei Luo said, "There are countless types of lightning techniques, each with its own power. Who in the world can fathom them all? The lightning energy contained in that shield is something I've never encountered before."

Xiao Xuan subconsciously touched the Ruyi Pouch at his waist. "That shield looks beautiful, but I never imagined it would be such a treacherous object," she exclaimed in horror.

Fei Luo said, "No wonder Master warned that although the generals of Lei Mansion are of vastly different strengths, they all possess unique abilities. Some have extraordinary skills, while others wield fierce and strange treasures. None of them should be underestimated."

Sure enough, the monster that attacked Xiao Xuan was no ordinary creature. It was originally a demon slave guarding the treasury of Rahu, one of the four Asura Kings of the Desire Realm, named Qing Er Hui. One day, after causing trouble, it stole a pair of exceptionally powerful divine weapons from the treasury while fleeing. These were the masterpieces of Amona, the master weapon-forging expert of the Asura clan. The shield was named "Soul-Slaying Shield," containing strange lightning that could invade the marrow and blood vessels; the chain was named "Soul-Binding Chain," containing strange electricity that could paralyze the muscles and bones. Both were extremely rare and vicious treasures.

After escaping, Qing Erhui was relentlessly pursued by the forces of Asura King Rahu. When he was cornered, he was fortunate enough to encounter the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation of Thunder, who was traveling. Seeing that Qing Erhui's weapon contained extraordinary lightning and thunder, perfectly matching the power of his own forces, the Venerable claimed it was fate and took him back to the Thunder Palace, assigning him to the Demon Thunder Academy as a replacement for a rogue thunder general. However, fate was unavoidable, and he ultimately perished at the hands of Fei Luo's ancient magic weapon, the Purple Rhinoceros Hairpin.

Xiao Xuan suddenly remembered something, his heart pounding, and said, "Uncle-Master, that…that monster was a Heavenly Court Thunder General. You killed him, I'm afraid the Heavenly Court will…will…"

"What's the big deal? It's not like I haven't killed gods before," Fei Luo said seemingly disdainfully.

"But thunder is the pivot of heaven and earth, and the Thunder Palace is a crucial department of the Heavenly Court. If the Heavenly Court investigates because of this…" Xiao Xuan grew increasingly alarmed.

"Lei Jiang is often driven and served by immortals in the lower realms, so his death is not uncommon.

How can the Heavenly Court possibly investigate every single one of them? Besides, my sect has repeatedly assisted the Heavenly Court in its righteous deeds, so I doubt they would do anything to me," Fei Luo said.

Xiao Xuan breathed a slight sigh of relief and asked, "How badly are you injured? Why don't we go out first?"

Fei Luo felt a slight discomfort in her body and wasn't sure what to do, but she said, "I'm fine. Where are those Source Demon Pools?"

"Follow me," Xiao Xuan said, groping his way through the darkness based on his memory.

After turning through several passageways, they encountered a squad of skeletons. There was nowhere to hide in this area, and the two had no way to avoid it, so they fought fiercely and easily dealt with their enemies in a short time.

Xiao Xuan watched as Fei Luo unleashed a massive wave of fire with a hand seal, instantly igniting and felling over a dozen skeleton halberdiers. He exclaimed in amazement, "What's that move called? It's so powerful!"

Fei Luo replied, "It seems there are still some skeletons left to guard the area. If we just swagger in like this, we'll have a lot of trouble."

"What should we do then?" Xiao Xuan rubbed his hands together, then suddenly exclaimed, "I've got it! Last time I stripped off a skeleton's armor and disguised myself as one to fool people in many places. Why don't we do the same again this time?"

"Yes," Fei Luo nodded.

Xiao Xuan quickly stripped off a set of skeleton armor and put it on. Seeing the beauty standing motionless beside him, he stripped off another set, respectfully offering it to her, saying, "Please, Martial Aunt."

But Fei Luo replied, "I don't want these filthy things."

Xiao Xuan was stunned: "Then why are you dressed as a skeleton?"

Fei Luo didn't answer, her orchid fingers forming a hand seal as she silently chanted. Suddenly, her figure blurred, and her outline distorted.

Xiao Xuan's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt dizzy. His eyelids involuntarily closed for a moment, and when he quickly opened them again, the beauty in front of him was gone, replaced by another living skeleton soldier. The sockets inside the armor were as deep as caverns, and the bones were as red as blood. He was so frightened that he took two steps back.

"It's me." The skeleton soldier spoke, and it was Fei Luo's voice.

"You...you transformed?" Xiao Xuan's mouth dropped open.

"I conjured it." The skeleton soldier opposite him was lifelike and flawless.

"You conjured...conjured it?" Hearing the word "conjured," Xiao Xuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Yes, this is the shape-shifting technique I taught you last time. Once you learn it, you can transform into anything you've ever seen." Fei Luo, who had transformed into a skeleton soldier, said.

Xiao Xuan was dumbfounded.
