Leng Yueshuang was dumbfounded; how did she become a demoness of the Miaoyin Sect?
But the words had already been spoken, and she was in a difficult position, so she could only bite the bullet and nod.
“Precisely!”
Upon hearing this, Murong Dongyue looked at Leng Yueshuang with a puzzled expression.
“Forgive my presumption, but may I ask the Xianzi to show her token?”
A flash of light appeared in Leng Yueshuang’s hand, and she calmly took out a Miaoyin Sect token.
She didn't have other tokens, but she had too many Miaoyin Sect tokens!
Murong Qiuzhi looked incredulous, finally understanding why this Xianzi hadn't mentioned her sect before.
So, this ethereal and refined Xianzi was actually from the Miaoyin Sect?
Lin Gongzi’s beloved was actually a demoness from the Miaoyin Sect!
It was said that the Xianzi of the Miaoyin Sect absorbed people's vital energy, so wouldn't Lin Gongzi be in danger?
No, she couldn’t just watch Lin Gongzi fall into evil hands!
Murong Qiuzhi, who had originally given up, suddenly ignited with a fierce fighting spirit, determined to rescue Lin Luochen from peril.
A hint of bewilderment also flashed in Murong Dongyue’s eyes, but he still rose and bowed.
“So it is a Xianzi from the Miaoyin Sect gracing us with her presence. Murong Dongyue is sorry for not greeting you sooner, please forgive me.”
Leng Yueshuang waved her hand and said, “Sect Leader Murong is too polite, I just arrived as well.”
Lin Luochen looked at Murong Dongyue, always feeling that something was amiss, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Murong Dongyue couldn't perceive Leng Yueshuang’s cultivation, and he was deeply wary of this mysterious Xianzi.
“Since the Xianzi has come, I presume the city’s problems will be resolved. I thank the Xianzi on behalf of the city’s common people!”
Leng Yueshuang felt uneasy in her heart; she was new to this and had no experience in subduing demons!
But thinking of her own strength, she still nodded.
In this small Qing Shi City, could there really be a Soul Emergence realm expert?
“Sect Leader Murong, please tell me about the current situation!”
Murong Dongyue nodded, and just as he was about to speak, a constable rushed in with a hurried expression.
“Sect Leader Murong, someone in the city has been demonized again, and his strength is not weak. City Lord Xu wants to ask for your help!”
Murong Dongyue’s expression changed slightly, he nodded, stood up, and looked at Leng Yueshuang.
“Leng Xianzi, how about we discuss it on the way?”
Leng Yueshuang hummed in agreement, Murong Dongyue hesitated for a moment, then looked at the Murong sisters.
“Xia Zhu, Qiu Zhi, you two come along as well!”
Lin Luochen’s expression immediately turned strange; it seemed the Murong Family wasn’t safe either!
Right now, his ascension token still depended on the Murong sisters, so he could only bite the bullet and follow along.
After walking out of the main hall, a huge broadsword landed at Murong Dongyue’s feet, and he hesitated as he looked at the group.
“Sect Leader Murong, go first, I will bring them along!”
Leng Yueshuang released a flying boat, Lin Luochen familiar with the routine stepped onto it, and the Murong sisters quickly followed.
“Then I shall trouble the Xianzi!”
Murong Dongyue took the constable and soared into the sky, while Leng Yueshuang piloted the flying boat closely behind.
The group flew through the air and soon arrived at a corner of the city’s north side.
Screams of alarm echoed continuously, many common people fled in terror, and the guards quickly sealed off the area.
From above, the group saw a shirtless man fleeing frantically through the streets and alleys.
He was emaciated, his eyes blood-red, and visible black energy swirled around his body. He moved on all fours, like a nimble monkey.
Behind him, a richly dressed man with a saber pursued relentlessly, shouting, “Don’t mind me, loose the arrows! Don’t let him escape!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding guards released arrows, and arrows with ropes rained down.
The man moved like a phantom, dodging most of the arrows. The occasional one or two that landed were also knocked away by him.
But he was still momentarily obstructed by the ropes, and the man with the saber seized the opportunity to strike down, forcing him to fall.
The two sides confronted each other in the alley. The city guards, armed with weapons, nervously surrounded them, not daring to get close.
The demonized person drooled black saliva and roared, “You all deserve to die! Die!”
He used both hands and feet, attacking the brocade-robed man with sharp claws, looking as if he wanted to tear him into a thousand pieces.
The brocade-robed man noticed the group in the air and immediately became much calmer, continuously clashing with the demonized person with his long saber.
Although his strength was not weak, his opponent had a powerful physique and fought without fear of death, so he couldn't subdue him for a while.
Leng Yueshuang observed the situation in the field and frowned, “Does every demonized person have Foundation Establishment strength?”
Murong Dongyue said with a solemn expression, “That’s not the case. This person is considered stronger among the demonized ones!”
“Initially, the demonized individuals only had stronger physiques than ordinary people, but now most of them can rival peak Qi Refining cultivators.”
“Their physiques far surpass ordinary people, and Qi Refining cultivators can easily be defeated if they are not careful. Only Foundation Establishment cultivators can be certain of victory.”
Leng Yueshuang was secretly astonished; true demons were indeed not to be underestimated!
If an ordinary person becoming demonized could rival peak Qi Refining, then what about cultivators?
Murong Qiuzhi asked, “Uncle, can they still return to normal?”
Murong Dongyue shook his head and said, “They have been completely demonized. Even if they are not killed, they will die soon.”
Leng Yueshuang understood that although these demonized individuals gained power, they were clearly burning their own flesh and blood.
Unless this person continuously killed and absorbed others' vital essence, he would quickly exhaust himself and die.
This was the horror of demonization; once demonized, there was no turning back.
“Let’s subdue this person first!”
Leng Yueshuang lightly raised her delicate hand, and a radiant moonlight poured out from her palm, like a silver river descending, enveloping the demonized person.
The moonlight gradually contracted, forming a cage.
The demonized person frantically crashed against the light wall, but struggled in vain like a trapped beast, eventually being pressed to his knees and unable to move by the oppressive aura.
Leng Yueshuang made her move, effortlessly suppressing the demonized person, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
Murong Dongyue gasped, secretly wondering what realm this Leng Xianzi was in.
Murong Xiazhu had previously thought that Leng Yueshuang, having been rescued by Lin Luochen, at most had Foundation Establishment strength.
But now seeing her performance, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine, feeling that her previous words seemed a bit too loud.
Oh no, Qiu Zhi, your rival in love is very fierce!
But Murong Qiuzhi’s gaze showed no wavering, as firm as if she intended to join the ranks of immortals!
Soon, the brocade-robed man on the ground tied up the demonized person and flew up on a piece of green leaf.
His gaze fell on Leng Yueshuang, and he was awestruck by her beauty and temperament, then he glanced at Murong Dongyue.
Murong Dongyue understood and introduced, “City Lord Xu, this is Leng Xianzi from the Miaoyin Sect!”
Xu Zhen’s sturdy body trembled, his face showing shock and regret, but he quickly composed himself.
“So it’s Leng Xianzi, I am Xu Zhen, City Lord of Qing Shi City. Thank you, Xianzi, for your help!”
Leng Yueshuang said indifferently, “No need for formalities, I came for this very purpose. City Lord Xu, please tell me the specific situation.”
Xu Zhen, knowing that Leng Yueshuang had come to help slay demons, became even more enthusiastic.
“Leng Xianzi has traveled a long way, and must be tired. This humble Xu will host a banquet tonight to welcome the Xianzi. How about we discuss it at the banquet?”
Leng Yueshuang said coolly, “No need to trouble yourself, I prefer quiet.”
Xu Zhen nodded upon hearing this and said, “Then I will prepare a document and send it to the Xianzi. May I ask if the Xianzi has a place to stay?”
His unspoken meaning was clear, but Leng Yueshuang glanced at Lin Luochen, making Lin Luochen inexplicably confused.
Why are you looking at me?
Leng Yueshuang said indifferently, “Thank you, City Lord, for your kind offer. I feel an immediate kinship with the two Murong young ladies, so I will simply impose upon the Murong Residence.”
She didn't want to stay at the City Lord’s mansion; she still needed to keep an eye on that guy, lest he be devoured by a demoness.
But this scene, in the eyes of others, became: this highly skilled disciple of the Miaoyin Sect had already chosen her prey!
While Xu Zhen felt relieved, he also felt a strange sense of regret and pity.
Such a peerless beauty, why must she be from the Miaoyin Sect?
Although if she were to fall, he would have a chance.
But others pay money for a night of pleasure, while she demands lives!
Lin Luochen noticed this scene and finally realized what felt amiss earlier.
Previously, when Murong Dongyue heard that Leng Yueshuang was from the Miaoyin Sect, he only showed shock and confusion, but no regret.
Shouldn't a normal man feel regret when such a Xianzi falls into such a path?
So what exactly was he confused about?
