Chapter 122 The Good of Cats

Xiao Jin rolled sideways dangerously, and the demonic energy brushed past his left arm, leaving a string of blood beads and a deep scar that could be seen to the bone.

Xiao Jin groaned and looked at Bai Qingchen after landing. His eyes were complicated and he couldn't utter the words of gratitude.

"Don't be in a daze! Go!"

Bai Qingchen pulled him up and dodged, and an attack landed right where they were standing before.

Chen Yi and Chen Xing stayed behind to resist the pursuit of the demon cultivators.

Both of them were cultivators in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. As the only two people present who could fight, they protected Yan Shen, Bai Qingchen, and the injured Xiao Jin as they evacuated.

However, they wanted to be the last one to go, but the three people disagreed.

Yan Shen made a quick decision, drew his sword and joined the battlefield.

Xiao Jin also came back to his senses at this moment, and said to Bai Qingchen awkwardly, "Thank you." His voice was as soft as a mosquito and could not be heard clearly in the chaotic scene.

"What did you say?" Bai Qingchen vaguely heard what Xiao Jin said, but couldn't hear it clearly.

Xiao Jin blushed slightly, and without replying, he turned to look at Chen Yi and said, "Senior Brother Chen, I'm here to help you!"

After saying that, his figure appeared behind him.

These demonic cultivators were just minions in the eyes of Bai Qingchen, who was in the God Transformation Stage in his previous life, but now they were quite troublesome in front of him, who was only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

His fellow disciples were all fighting hard against the enemy, and he was not the kind of person who would run away from the battle.

The Star Chaser appeared in his hand again. Bai Qingchen activated the power of the Star Black Cat. His cultivation level rose sharply, and a white line flashed in the corner of his eyes.

Although it is tricky, there is a solution.

Bai Qingchen waved his hand and scattered several talismans. The talismans surrounding him moved according to Zhuxing's handwriting, converging into a beam of light that repelled a demon cultivator who attempted to sneak attack Yan Shen.

The white formation spread from under his feet, covering everyone present.

The movements of the demon cultivators in the magic circle slowed down slightly, while the disciples of Lingxiao Sect felt the spiritual energy rapidly flowing into their bodies to make up for the consumption.

However, the demon cultivators are powerful and numerous.

Bai Qingchen used this formation beyond his level, and his spiritual energy was consumed extremely rapidly, and his face became paler and paler.

At this moment, a steady hand touched his back, and pure and peaceful spiritual power slowly flowed in.

It's a dust star.

While he was wielding his sword to fight the enemy, he was able to distract himself and supply spiritual power to Bai Qingchen.

With Chen Xing's support, Bai Qingchen was cheered up.

The five of them cooperated more and more tacitly, and actually managed to tear open a gap and were about to rush out of the Xi family mansion.

At this moment, a terrifying demonic aura instantly enveloped everyone.

Sagu's figure appeared silently in the sky in front of them like a ghost.

He was still wearing the ghost mask, but his exposed eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.

"These little mice are quite active." He slowly raised one hand.

With just a raised hand, five people were knocked several meters away.

The guests at the Dalian banquet all felt it.

The formation was broken in an instant, and the five people flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground, instantly losing their combat effectiveness.

Bai Qingchen felt as if his internal organs had shifted, his vision went dark, and he couldn't even stand.

At the moment before his consciousness completely fell into darkness, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a dark corner of clothing at the edge of his blurred vision.

A dazzling sword light that seemed to be able to cut through the heaven and earth fell from the sky and slashed straight towards the arrogant Sagu.

Is it...Xuanyuan?

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, boundless darkness completely engulfed Bai Qingchen's consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Qingchen slowly woke up in the scent of medicine.

They are now in the guest room of the Mu family.

Bai Qingchen moved, his whole body felt like it was falling apart, but fortunately his injuries seemed to have been properly treated.

He pushed open the door and walked out. Someone was discussing something outside.

"Senior Brother Bai, you're awake!" A surprised voice came, it was Yan Shen.

He was still a little pale, but he looked in good spirits.

Hearing the noise, Chen Yi, Xiao Jin and Chen Xing stopped talking and turned their heads, looking towards where Bai Qingchen was.

Xiao Jin said, "We woke up a long time ago, but you were the last one."

As if realizing that his words were a little inappropriate, he turned his head and said, "Is your injury... okay?"

Bai Qingchen smiled and said, "It's all right now."

At this time, Mu Hanyan walked over and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Bai Qingchen wake up.

"I'm glad you're all awake. When the ancestor brought you back, you were all horribly injured. I was really scared."

Chen Yi and the others were involved in this because of their own affairs. If anything went wrong with them, Mu Hanyan would not be able to forgive herself.

Bai Qingchen asked, "Senior Sister Mu, what happened to the Xi family? How long were we unconscious?"

Yan Shen continued, "Senior Brother Chen Xing didn't faint. Senior Brother Chen Yi woke up that night. Senior Brother Xiao and I woke up the next day. Now it's the third day. Senior Brother Bai, you slept for three days!"

Recalling the Xi family banquet three days ago, Mu Hanyan's expression grew serious as she spoke, "The banquet was halfway through when a large number of demonic cultivators suddenly appeared at the Xi family's residence. They seemed to be hunting someone, and the noise even reached the front yard."

"Originally, only a handful of family heads who were in cahoots with Xi Feng knew about the Xi family's covert collusion with the demonic cultivators. Now, it's been completely exposed to all the forces in Southern Xinjiang."

"In order to distance himself from the incident and maintain superficial order, Xi Feng flew into a rage and directed the Xi family disciples to desperately resist the demon cultivators, putting on a great show."

"And in the midst of the chaos, a mysterious senior in black suddenly appeared and engaged in a fierce battle with the demon cultivator behind the Xi family, ultimately severely injuring him. Unfortunately, the demon had many ways to save his life, so he escaped with his injuries."

These are what Mu Haotian told Mu Hanyan after he came back that day.

Bai Qingchen understood in his heart that the senior in black must be Xuanyuan. Bai Qingchen knew that Xuanyuan had been investigating the demon cultivators.

“What a pity…”

Bai Qingchen sighed lightly, failing to keep Sa Gu alive would lead to endless troubles.

Mu Hanyan continued, "The Xi family has such a huge scandal, the Guixu Sect, the true overlord of Southern Xinjiang, can't just sit back and watch."

"They have taken over the Xi family's affairs and are conducting a thorough investigation and liquidation. The Xi family is likely to be severely damaged. This is a good thing. Our Mu family and other families suppressed by the Xi family finally have a chance to breathe."

"I really want to thank you this time." She said, bowing solemnly to the five people.

Chen Yi quickly gave her a fake support: "Junior Sister Mu, you are too polite. It is my duty to help my fellow disciples."

Bai Qingchen looked at Mu Hanyan and asked, "Senior Sister Mu, after this matter, will you return to Lingxiao Sect?"

When Mu Hanyan heard this, a complicated look appeared in her eyes. She nodded slightly, then shook her head.

"I will always be a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, but now that the Mu family has overcome its internal troubles, the external threats are still there. Even though we have the ancestor in charge, I still need to stay in the Mu family temporarily and take on the responsibility of the young master."

"When everything is stable in the future, I will return to the sect."

When everyone heard this, they all expressed their understanding.

The five of them rested at the Mu family for another two days, and there was no reason for Chen Yi and the others to stay at the Mu family any longer.

Chen Yi bid farewell to Mu Haotian.

"Senior Mu, we will return to the sect first. We need to report the Xi family's affairs to our master. This matter also involves the Guixu Sect. I'm afraid the conspiracy behind it is not trivial."

Mu Haotian said solemnly, "Don't worry, my friends. Yan'er and I will pay close attention to the subsequent affairs of the Xi family."

After bidding farewell to the Mu family, the five of them set out on their journey home.

This time Chen Xing invited Bai Qingchen to ride along, and Bai Qingchen did not refuse.

Yan Shen took this scene in and turned to Chen Yi and said, "Brother, do you feel that Brother Chen Xing seems to be taking good care of Brother Bai?"

"Junior Brother Bai still can't fly a sword. As his senior brother, it's normal for Chen Xing to take him along out of fellow disciples' friendship."

"Really?" Yan Shen scratched his head.

Xiao Jin was listening nearby, and suddenly sneered at Chen Yi and the others. Without saying anything, he flew over them on his sword.

The fog in Kunwu City seemed to have dissipated a little, but a larger shadow was quietly spreading.
