The Carefree Immortal, Episode 5: Remnants of Demons, Chapter 2: Lone Smoke from Beyond the Heavens 

"Great! Let's have this competition!"

Xiao Xuan was overjoyed. To him, this kind of competition was absolutely wonderful and exhilarating.

"Don't be silly! With a formidable enemy at hand, how dare you drink!"

Cui Caiting scolded from the side.

Fang Shaolin smiled and said, "Reporting to my senior uncle, I have abstained from alcohol for many days. Only now that I see that the preparations in the city are basically complete can I relax a little..."

"You can drink, but Xiao Xuan is not allowed!"

Cui Caiting said sternly. Fang Shaolin bowed   deeply

to her and replied, "My senior uncles and master have been in the city for many days, and I have not yet properly entertained them. I am truly uneasy about this. Today, I would be honored to host a banquet to express my respect!" Cui Caiting's expression softened slightly, and she said gently, "No need."   Fei Luo smiled and said, "Shaolin, your senior uncle and I do not enjoy crowds, so you don't need to trouble yourself. Besides, the demons are powerful this time, and as the lord of the city, you cannot afford to be negligent in the slightest."   Fang Shaolin bowed deeply again and said, "Senior uncle is absolutely right. In that case   , I will have to make it up to you another time." Xiao Xuan was greatly disappointed when his plans fell through, but he dared not show it on his face. He noticed that Shui Ruo was secretly making a face at him, and his mood improved slightly.   Just then, an officer rushed over from a distance, his face covered in sweat and looking disheveled. He kowtowed to Fang Shaolin and said, "Reporting to you, sir, I was ordered to temporarily close the North Gate to welcome the Holy Envoy, but an armless monster insisted on breaking in. The soldiers guarding the city stepped forward to stop him, but he subdued them all with his strange magic, and many of them were unable to move."   "An armless monster?"   Fang Shaolin was slightly taken aback, and Cui Caiting and Fei Luo beside him were also moved.   Fang Shaolin asked, "Did you ask his name?"   The officer replied, "He wouldn't say, only referring to himself as...something like the Hermit of Lonely Smoke Island, and...and he was even more rude, daring to address you by your name, and demanding that you go see him!"   "The Hermit of Lonely Smoke Island!"   Fang Shaolin's face lit up with surprise. He glanced at Cui Caiting and Fei Luo, and said, "So it's Sixth Uncle?"   Fei Luo pondered, "Such a self-proclaimed title...and such a temper, it must be your Sixth Uncle."   "So it's Sixth Uncle Yi Xunyan!"   Xiao Xuan exclaimed excitedly. Although he had never met this Sixth Uncle, known as "Lonely Smoke from Beyond the Heavens," he had long heard that he was a protector of the Xuan Sect, with unparalleled cultivation and a profound true energy that had reached a state of perfection. It was said that he had once subdued the demon kings of the forty-nine caves of the mortal realm, and his name resounded throughout the Great Wilderness.   Fang Shaolin waved to the officer and said, "Go and invite him quickly, don't offend him... No, no, I'll go and greet him myself!"   He then bowed to the two division commanders and hurried away, with Commander Meng and several officers following closely behind, descending the mountain.   Fei Luo looked at Cui Caiting and hesitated, "Senior Sister, will you... see him?"   "No!"   Cui Caiting said coldly.   Fei Luo seemed about to say something more, but then saw Cui Caiting glance at Xiao Xuan and say, "Not only will I not see him, but none of my disciples are allowed to see him. Anyone who violates this rule will be expelled from the sect without mercy!"   Xue Han, Li Mengtang, Cheng Shuiruo, Xia Xiaowan, and Xiao Xuan beside her were all astonished.   Fei Luo sighed softly and smiled, "Alright, Senior Sister, please do as you please. I'm going to see him no matter what."   With that, she turned and headed down the mountain.   As the crowd dispersed, Xiao Xuan quietly pulled Shui Ruo aside and whispered, "Wait for me."   Shui Ruo quickly shook off his hand, looked around, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everyone else had gone far away. She glared at the man and warned in a low voice, "Don't you dare touch me when there are people around!"   Xiao Xuan wasn't going to listen to that. He opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace, grinning, "Now that we're alone, let me kiss you."   Shui Ruo's pretty face flushed, and she pretended to push him away, but his forceful embrace made her weak, and her cherry lips immediately fell into his, kissing her passionately in the blink of an eye.   They only separated when they were almost breathless.   "Are you trying to suffocate me!"   Shui Ruo said coquettishly.   Xiao Xuan laughed, "I missed you so much."   "Missed me?"   "Yes, I missed you so much."   "Then why didn't you come to see me when I was dizzy all day yesterday?"   Shui Ruo said angrily.   "You're dizzy? Oh, why didn't Zhaixia tell me! Let me see..."   Xiao Xuan said nervously, quickly touching the girl's forehead: "Ah, it must be because of those Jade Red Fruits, you know? The Jade Red Fruits you ate that day were the kind that make you drunk for three hundred years! How many did you eat in total?"   "Don't change the subject, answer me first!"   Shui Ruo shrank her forehead and stepped back.   Xiao Xuan touched his head and said, "Yesterday? Yesterday I was helping my master uncle on the back mountain, making arrows for the Mountain-Opening Divine Crossbow with Treasure Bottle Bamboo. I got so busy that I forgot to go see you, damn it!"   "You spent the whole day with her? There are so many craftsmen on the mountain, do you really need to be there for her!"   Shui Ruo seemed even angrier.   Xiao Xuan said, "I want to learn a few tricks from her. You know, my master's mechanical arts and artifact-making skills are incredibly exquisite. This is a rare opportunity."   "A rare opportunity? Hmph, what a rare opportunity!"   Shui Ruo thought of Fei Luo's appearance and couldn't help but snort again, blurting out, "She looks like a vixen!"   "What...what vixen?"   Xiao Xuan was stunned, only then realizing the girl's jealousy. He was shocked and suddenly remembered the romantic scene with Fei Luo in the pavilion that night, and his face immediately turned red.   "Did I guess right?"   Shui Ruo stared at him.   "You...what nonsense are you talking about?"   Xiao Xuan felt even more guilty, but he knew he couldn't panic at this moment, so he forced a wronged and angry expression.   Shui Ruo turned her gaze elsewhere and said leisurely, "I say someone has something to hide. Otherwise, why would they think the opportunity is too good to pass up? Otherwise, why would they try to get close to her whenever they get the chance?"   "What are you thinking? She's our martial aunt! Besides, I just want to learn some mechanical arts from her! Don't you know that mechanical arts are something I've always dreamed of!"   Xiao Xuan shouted, trying to appear righteous.   Shui Ruo stared at him, her expression softening slightly, and snorted, "Since you're so fascinated by mechanical arts, why don't you just become her disciple?"   "Shh!"   Xiao Xuan quickly put a finger to his lips and whispered furtively, "Don't make jokes like that. If it gets back to Master, we're doomed."   "At worst, I'll kick you out of the sect!"   Shui Ruo said, glancing at him sideways with her beautiful eyes.   "Kicked out of the gate?"   Xiao Xuan shuddered, gazing into the distance and muttering, "If Master really abandons me one day, how will I live..."   Shui Ru chuckled, "Hey! You're a grown man, why are you acting like a little girl..."





























































































































Xiao Xuan glanced at her, then suddenly exclaimed exaggeratedly, "That's right! Ever since that night, I've been a real man!"

"That night..."

Shui Ruo paused slightly, asking in confusion, "Which night?"

Xiao Xuan stared at her with a wicked glint in his eyes, a suggestive smile playing on his lips.

Shui Ruo suddenly realized, her face flushing crimson. Embarrassed, she punched him with her fist.

Xiao Xuan puffed out his chest, accepting the punch, and pulled the beauty closer, grinning mischievously, "Good Shui'er, there's no one around now, and the birds are singing, the flowers are blooming, and the sun is shining brightly. Let me become even more of a man, okay?"

Hearing the words "brightly blooming," the girl blushed even more, scolding, "You pig-headed idiot!"

Her sharp fingers suddenly spread, several tiny, chilling blue rays flashing as they struck his arm.

Caught off guard, Xiao Xuan felt a sudden, icy chill, cried out, and released his grip.

Shui Ruo seized the opportunity to escape, flying away like a butterfly several feet away.

Xiao Xuan looked pained, clutching his arm and groaning, "Ice... Ice Spike Technique! You... you're so cruel, how could you be so cruel!"

"Who told you that? You deserve it!"

Shui Ruo said with a grin. Seeing him staggering as if about to pounce, she was so frightened that she quickly jumped back and fled from the dangerous place as if flying.

Xiao Xuan slumped down, circulating his inner energy for a while before finally dispelling the biting chill. Gazing down the mountain, he thought wistfully, "Is she shy or angry with me again? She was so nice the other day, why is she like this now..."

Thinking of this, he felt a surge of ecstasy and suddenly sighed loudly, "Alas, women... women... how can you be so hard to understand?"

He sat on the mountaintop, lost in thought, when he suddenly remembered Cui Caiting's warning. He was quite puzzled: "Sixth Martial Uncle is a fellow disciple, why doesn't Master not only refuse to see him himself, but also forbids us from seeing him? This makes no sense..."

The more Xiao Xuan thought about it, the more confused and strange it became. Then, remembering the legend of Sixth Martial Uncle's subjugation of the forty-nine demon kings of the land, he felt a strong urge and thought, "What harm would it do if I sneaked away, took a peek at Sixth Martial Uncle from afar, and left?"

With this thought, he suddenly felt a surge of energy, stood up, and quickly ran down the mountain.

The mansion of the Third Marquis of Zhongjing was built against the mountain. Descending from the Cuihua Lodge halfway up the mountain, past several pavilions and terraces partially hidden in the woods, the houses gradually increased in number, until at the foot of the mountain, gardens and buildings appeared one after another.

Xiao Xuan looked around, bewildered, wondering, "This Fang fellow's house is so big, how do I know where he took my sixth master?"

He wandered around for a long time without a clue, when suddenly he saw an old woman with white hair and a child wearing a Monkey King mask inside the fence ahead. He quickly went forward, smiling and respectfully saying, "Grandma, are you playing with your grandson?"

The old woman turned her head shakily and said, "Young man, who are you? I've never seen you before."

Xiao Xuan saw that she was covering her ears and leaning forward, as if she had hearing problems, so he said loudly, "I'm a guest who arrived a few days ago, staying on the mountain."

The old woman nodded and said, "Then you must be the young marquis..." "My lord's honored guest! Only honored guests can stay on the mountain."

Xiao Xuan seized the opportunity to ask, "Do you know where the young marquis lives? I have urgent business with him."

The old woman shook her head and said, "I don't know. Although we all live in this mansion, we commoners can't just go where the young marquis lives."

Xiao Xuan was anxious, so he asked again, "Then... do you know roughly where it is?"

The old woman pointed north and said, "It's over there, surrounded by a green-tiled wall. My son knows it; he often goes in."

Xiao Xuan hurriedly asked, "Who is your son?"

The old woman said somewhat proudly, "My son is the one who takes care of the flowers and trees in the young marquis's backyard; his name is Ah Zhu."

"Where is he?"

Xiao Xuan was delighted.

"He went in to serve him early this morning; I heard some important person is coming,"

the old woman replied.

Xiao Xuan was greatly disappointed. Suddenly, he heard footsteps, as if several people were approaching quickly. He turned his head and saw a group of guards coming around the corner of the path. Each of them was carrying a long halberd and wearing bright armor. The officer in the lead shouted loudly, "The Holy Envoy has arrived! All bystanders

, please make way!" The old woman was startled and stood there frozen.

The officer looked in their direction, clearly recognizing the old woman, and whispered, "Grandma Li, please take your grandson inside quickly, so as not to disturb the Holy Envoy."

The old woman hurriedly pulled her grandson towards the house.

The officer pointed at Xiao Xuan and shouted sternly, "Where are you from? Get out of here too!"

Xiao Xuan didn't want to cause trouble, so he caught up with the old woman and helped her up, whispering, "Grandma, can I go inside and hide for a while?"

The old woman nodded and said, "Go in quickly, go in quickly! Good heavens, it's the Holy Envoy coming..."

The officer was about to lead his men over when suddenly his expression changed drastically. He strode to the boy's side, ripped off the Monkey King mask from his face, and tore it to shreds in a few quick movements.

The little boy was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears.

The old woman was both shocked and furious, pointing at the officer's nose and cursing, "You ungrateful little bastard! Have you forgotten how I doted on you when you were a child? How I helped your family when your father was buried? And now you're scaring my grandson!"

The officer was covered in sweat and said, "Thank goodness! Luckily I saw it, otherwise I would have been in big trouble!"

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Xuan was also confused.

The officer said, "Grandma Li, have you forgotten that His Majesty hates people wearing masks? How could you give a mask to a child to play with! If the imperial envoy comes today and sees your grandson wearing a mask, wouldn't that cause a disaster that could lead to the execution of your entire family?"

The old woman was speechless, then slapped her forehead and cried out, "Oh dear! I'm really getting senile, I deserve to die, thank you, Erhuzi!"

As she spoke, she was about to kneel down and kowtow to the officer.

The officer quickly helped her up, saying, "Hurry and go inside."

He then led his men away hastily, shouting for people to keep their distance.

Xiao Xuan followed the grandmother and granddaughter into the house, closed the door, and asked in surprise, "What's going on? Doesn't His Majesty forbid anyone from wearing masks?"   "

Don't you know?" the old woman asked curiously.   "Grandma, I've always lived deep in the mountains; I don't know many things about the outside world,"   Xiao Xuan said.   The old woman said, "I see. Then I'll tell you. My son said that His Majesty has loved wearing masks since childhood, and after ascending the throne, he became obsessed with a strange mask, never removing it day or night. Therefore, he resents others wearing masks, and several years ago issued an edict forbidding anyone from making or wearing masks, with the entire family to be executed if they violated it!"   "So domineering? He likes to wear masks but forbids others from doing so? How despicable!"   Xiao Xuan exclaimed angrily.   The old woman wiped the sweat from her brow with her sleeve and said thankfully, "Luckily we ran into Erhuzi today, otherwise if the Holy Envoy had seen us, we would have been finished!"   Xiao Xuan angrily cursed again, "Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"

















The old woman lowered her voice and said, "The Emperor has done many absurd things. Legend has it that he often carries sharp hooks, scissors, awls, and small saws—weapons of mass destruction..."

Xiao Xuan paused, then asked, "Why would the Emperor carry such things?"

The old woman replied, "For his amusement. When the mood strikes, he uses these vicious objects to injure people for his own amusement, and those who refuse are put to death."

"Such a thing?"

Xiao Xuan found it hard to believe.

"And there are even more bizarre things..."

The old woman's face showed fear.

"More?"

Xiao Xuan's face turned ashen.

The old woman trembled slightly as she said, "I've also heard that this...this scoundrel went mad at a banquet and, in front of several ministers, tore a concubine who was serving him to pieces and ate her with his wine!"

Xiao Xuan stared in disbelief, muttering for a long while, "This...this isn't a demon?"

The old woman's face showed hatred, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Yes, this scoundrel is a demon! A devil! That's been the rumor for a long time. It's just that Heaven was confused and sent down a demon to be the emperor!"

Xiao Xuan suddenly remembered what the Old Mother of Lishan had said, and he couldn't help but tremble with anger, thinking to himself, "This time when I go to the capital, I must see whether this absurd tyrant is a human or a demon!"

After waiting for a while and seeing no movement outside, Xiao Xuan bid farewell to the old woman and came out of the house. His mind was preoccupied with what he had overheard earlier, and he was distracted the whole way. Suddenly, he saw several flashes of light ahead, as bright as lightning. Looking up, he realized he had arrived at a grove of trees. He was very puzzled: "Where did this lightning come from in this bright sunshine?"

He quickly went over and disappeared into the woods. Suddenly, he heard someone shout, "Take this again!"

The voice was sweet and delicate; it was Fei Luo's voice. Then, he heard a rumbling, continuous rumble of thunder.

Xiao Xuan was startled, thinking, "Could my martial aunt have encountered an enemy? I must go help her!" He

immediately channeled his inner energy into his whip and ran even faster. Suddenly, he saw a figure leap through the air, her flowing robes and graceful movements like a celestial being—it was none other than Fei Luo.

"Watch out!"

Fei Luo shouted again, her fingers forming a hand seal as she swung her arms across her body, creating overlapping shadows. Several orbs of light, crackling with electricity, flew from her hands, some fast, some slow, some straight, some arcing, striking a person on the ground.

"Why are you telling the enemy to be careful?"

Xiao Xuan was startled, turning to look. He was shocked to see that the person opposite him had long sleeves hanging down on both sides, meaning he had no arms. He stood silently in place, completely motionless.

In the blink of an eye, the orbs of light flew over one after another, but as soon as they approached the person, they suddenly burst like bubbles. In a flash of light, powerful magical energy exploded in all directions, producing a series of muffled bangs.

Xiao Xuan suddenly felt a strong gust of wind, and was violently pushed away by a huge force, only stopping when he crashed into a tree. He was both shocked and delighted: "This person's skill is amazing, and he has no arms. It must be my sixth senior uncle, 'Lone Smoke from Beyond the Heavens'! My senior uncle is sparring with him..."

Fei Luo floated in the air, her hand gestures changed in an instant, and then a thunderous sound rang out. Strands of vertical lightning as thick as bowls appeared out of thin air, striking the person's head as if they had eyes. However, as soon as they got close to him, the light burst and shattered, unable to touch Yi Xunyan at all.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan was even more impressed: "It is said that Sixth Master Uncle is a master of Qi Refining. In terms of true Qi, he can be ranked among the top three in our sect. Seeing him today, it is indeed true... He completely neutralized Fei Luo's attack without even moving his hands or feet!"

Yi Xunyan suddenly said: "Come down, stop fooling around."

Fei Luo's pink face flushed slightly, and she cried out in the air: "Senior Brother, don't underestimate me, take another move from me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her hand gestures changed again, and suddenly a strong wind arose, causing the trees below to sway and tilt. As her hand gestures became faster, heat suddenly spread in the wind. The originally invisible and colorless wind turned orange-red, like a fire dragon dancing wildly, roaring and howling in the forest, with a terrifying momentum.

Xiao Xuan's mouth dropped open, a chill running through him: "I thought Aunt Fei Luo was only skilled in mechanisms and formations, but I never imagined her martial arts were so astonishing!"

Yi Xunyan, who had remained expressionless, now smiled slightly and said, "Hmm, Wind and Fire Dragon Whirlwind Shield, this move is starting to look decent."

Fei Luo looked smug, biting her lip. Her hands moved in a series of alternating movements, sometimes overlapping, sometimes clashing. The fire dragon that had been swirling and raging through the forest suddenly converged, crashing down on Yi Xunyan with a whooshing sound. The trees and leaves caught in the blast instantly burned and withered, turning to ash in a flash.

Yi Xunyan finally moved. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her empty sleeves suddenly danced, releasing wisps of white smoke that met the suffocating fire shield descending from the sky. A burst of flame erupted, and the scattered magical energy rippled out like heat waves, igniting branches and leaves as far as five or six zhang away.

Xiao Xuan was burning hot and drenched in sweat. He stared intently and saw the fire shield seemingly stuck, spinning rapidly in mid-air but unable to fall, its flames appearing strangely scattered.

Fei Luo, her face flushed, gradually slowed her flailing arms, beads of sweat appearing on her forehead; she looked extremely exhausted. Yi Xunyan,

appearing and disappearing beneath the fire shield, however, remained relaxed, her empty sleeves waving freely as if they were nothing.

Xiao Xuan grew increasingly astonished: "Uncle-Master's move is so powerful, yet it can't harm Sixth Uncle-Master..."

Fei Luo's movements slowed further and further, until she seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, unable to move an inch. The flames of the fire shield flickered wildly, gradually losing their original shape, their power greatly diminished. Yi Xunyan

smiled slightly and said, "Little Fei Luo, don't force yourself." With that

, she flicked her sleeve, pointing directly into the air.

Fei Luo seemed to be struck by something; her delicate body swayed, and she plummeted from mid-air. The fire shield, already at its last gasp, instantly crumbled.

The wind stopped, the fire died down, and scorched earth scattered everywhere. Xiao Xuan remembered Cui Caiting's warning and quickly dodged behind a large tree.

Fei Luo landed lightly, her hair disheveled and cheeks flushed, looking quite disheveled. She bit her lip and grumbled, "Alas, after years of hard training, I still can't do anything to my senior brother!"

Yi Xunyan smiled and said, "Little Fei Luo, you're still so mischievous. You're clearly studying armor and mechanical arts, yet you insist on sparring with me using martial arts. However, your Little Four Symbols Technique has indeed made great progress; you're not simple."

Xiao Xuan looked at him and saw that his beard was as thick as ink and his eyes shone with a sharp light. Although he looked to be in his forties, he possessed an extraordinary bearing, and every gesture exuded the aura of a grandmaster, inspiring awe in those who beheld him. Now, Xiao Xuan found him even more strange: "Why won't Master see him?"

Fei Luo gently brushed her slightly disheveled hair and sighed, "Even if I used all my armor-controlling and mechanical skills, I still couldn't do anything to Senior Brother... By the way, why did Senior Brother suddenly come to Zeyang? Could it be that he heard about the evil spirits wreaking havoc in the Great Swamp and came here specifically to help?"

Yi Xunyan shook his head and said, "Fei Luo, you know, I haven't paid attention to worldly affairs these past few years."

Xiao Xuan was slightly taken aback, thinking, "The evil spirits wreaked havoc in the Great Swamp, massacred Wangze City, and have been frequently raiding villages and towns for days, harming countless lives. This is a matter of utmost importance, how can it be called a 'trivial matter'?"

"Then you?"

Fei Luo looked puzzled.

"Half a month ago, someone sneaked onto Guyan Island while I was away, broke the island's restrictions, poached a pair of Rhinoceros Beasts, and stole their brains..."

Yi Xunyan said casually.

"Ah!"

Fei Luo exclaimed in surprise, "Who has such audacity? How dare they steal from Senior Brother's island!"

Yi Xunyan said, "The poachers tried to erase their tracks, but they still left clues. I followed them all the way to Giant Bamboo Valley, about a hundred miles from here, only to find that they had just left. One of their routes seemed to be heading towards Zeyang, so I followed them here."

Xiao Xuan was shocked to hear this, immediately recalling the scene when he met Qi Ji in Giant Bamboo Valley a few days ago: "Fifth Sister and those mysterious people worked together to hunt the Seven-Flame Spirit Phoenix, and they also took its brain marrow. How could it be such a coincidence? Could it be..."

Thinking of this, he almost dared not think any further.

"Senior Brother, what kind of people are the poachers?"

Fei Luo asked.

Yi Xunyan said, "Judging from the aura they left behind, these poachers seem to be some kind of spirit or monster, and each of them is quite powerful."

Xiao Xuan suddenly remembered that Qi Ji was a scorpion spirit, and he became more and more shocked as he listened.

"The brain marrow of the Rhinoceros Beast has very little use. I wonder what they stole it for?"

Fei Luo frowned and pondered, about to speak again, when she heard Yi Xunyan say, "Shao Lin said your Ninth Senior Sister is here too?"

"Yes."

Fei Luo replied, her dark, beautiful eyes glancing over, as if trying to discern something from his face.

"She still... refuses to see me?"

Yi Xunyan asked, his voice slightly hoarse.

Fei Luo nodded, letting out a soft, almost imperceptible sigh. Yi Xunyan

tilted his head slightly, gazing into the distance, silent for a long while.

Fei Luo cautiously said, "Senior brother, it's been so many years, don't you still have feelings for him...?"

Xiao Xuan was confused and a strange feeling arose in his heart: "Why does Aunt Fei Luo say that? He and Master..."

Just then, Yi Xunyan suddenly raised a sleeve and flung it towards where Xiao Xuan was hiding, and shouted, "Come out!"

Xiao Xuan suddenly felt his body tighten, and his whole body was involuntarily lifted up. Before he could understand, he was pulled out from behind the tree by a huge force.
