As Lin Jingge was pondering this, she suddenly heard a piercing scream, clearly indicating someone had perished. Startled, she immediately rushed towards the sound, naturally wanting to rescue the person. Having finally found someone, she naturally wanted to find out the current situation of this place. She just hoped she wouldn't be too late when she arrived. Lin Jingge, filled with anticipation, swiftly leaped across the rooftops, following the continuous screams, and soon arrived at a dilapidated courtyard. The courtyard was in disarray, piled high with stones. Deep within the courtyard, a woman was cornered, using a huge broom to hold back the demons.

"Don't come any closer! I'd rather die than become a demon!" The woman's voice was choked with sobs, and her tone was extremely resolute.

He then pulled out a dagger from his pocket and was about to stab it into his chest.

Lin Jingge immediately rushed over, snatched the dagger, and at the same time swung her longsword, sending out a burst of sword energy that rushed towards the strange men, forcing them back.

The woman was clearly caught off guard and stood frozen in place. Lin Jingge didn't have time to explain to her. He grabbed her waist with his right hand and, in an instant, brought her to the rooftop.

During the process of touching him, she clearly sensed that this person was also a cultivator, albeit with shallow cultivation. However, it was not impossible for him to walk on the rooftop.

It's just that it's impossible to be as casual as she is.

"Are you alright?" Lin Jingge asked, relieved that the person was alright.

Upon closer inspection, he recognized the person as Qian Suisui, the woman he was looking for.

It really came to me without any effort.

Lin Jingge was both amused and exasperated.

"Since you're here, you have no idea how long I've been looking for you..." Lin Jingge said helplessly.

Qian Suisui was still in shock, her eyes were still red.

He thanked her repeatedly.

"Thank you so much, sister. If you hadn't saved me, I would have been eaten by those demons down there. You have no idea, if you get bitten by them, you'll turn into a demon. I thought I was going to die just now..."

Qian Suisui patted her chest, looking like she had just escaped death.

Before he could finish speaking, he continued to plead, "You absolutely must take me out of here. Whatever your conditions, I will agree to them."

"What do you think you have to give me? What you consider treasures, I wouldn't even look at at my level of cultivation," Lin Jingge said, amused.

I decided to tease her.

The atmosphere between the two then improved somewhat.

Qian Suisui also smiled, but the smile quickly disappeared.

"Look at those demons down there, waiting. If we try to leave now, they'll probably follow us. If that's the case, how can we escape?"

Qian Suisui didn't even ask who she was before her mood returned to its depressed state.

Lin Jingge had no idea what to say to this girl, so she could only change the subject to something she could understand.

"Demon? What is that? Where did you hear that name from?"

Lin Jingge asked several questions in a row.

Qian Suisui then realized that Lin Jingge had no idea what this thing was.

He immediately began to patiently explain.

"I heard the term 'demon' from other people, and the appearance of demons has been around for some time, otherwise so many people wouldn't have become demons."

“This city is now a dead city. Our Qian family is trying to find a way to escape from this place, but we can only move our belongings on a small scale, which is too troublesome.”

According to Qian Suisui, the Qian family should still be in Lingyun City.

In that case, once we enter the Qian family's residence, we should be safe.

If Qian Suisui were alone, she might really be in danger of turning into a demon, but now that she's with her, she doesn't need to worry about that.

"In that case, I'll take you back to the Qian family. However, I want to know more about the demons. After you get back, could you think about how they came to be?"

"Sister, why are you so interested in this demon?" Qian Suisui asked, puzzled.

Lin Jingge answered truthfully.

“These city residents are innocent too. I just want to know if there’s any way to rescue them. Or have you heard of any way to rescue them?” Lin Jingge replied, then couldn’t help but ask.

Qian Suisui immediately shook her head.

"If we knew the solution, there wouldn't be so many demons left. Instead, let's get out of here quickly. Can you really take me from here to the Qian residence?"

For some reason, Qian Suisui was still a little worried.

Lingyun City is quite large, and the Qian Mansion is surrounded by no walls, but rather a standalone building. To get there, one needs to walk a distance; it's impossible to just walk there directly.

But the demons beneath their feet wouldn't let them off so easily.

"Then what do we do? Are we just going to wait to die?" Qian Suisui's round face scrunched up.

"Just call them," Lin Jingge said calmly.

As he spoke, he led her directly to the ground, and swung his longsword at the demons. With just the sword energy, he sent the demons several steps away.

This skill amazed Qian Suisui.

"You're amazing... What's your name? I definitely want to take you as my master!"

"Stop talking nonsense, they're catching up soon, let's hurry to the Qian residence."

Lin Jingge said.

Then he pulled Qian Sui Sui along and started running quickly.

Having just passed through this area, Lin Jingge naturally knew just how many demons were in it.

It's not easy to pass through this area without harming these people, especially now that there's Qian Suisui to worry about.

So all she could do was try her best.

"You stay behind me, preferably close by. Also, keep an eye on those demons behind me," Lin Jingge ordered Qian Suisui.

Then the second wave of attacks began.

Qian Suisui had never been so close to demons before, and her face turned pale instantly. Fortunately, Lin Jingge was there, which gave her the courage to observe the demons.

And occasionally, he would use his meager spiritual power to attack those demons.

Under the attack led by Lin Jingge, they arrived near the Qian family's residence amidst the swarming assault of these demons.

Reaching this point, Lin Jingge breathed a sigh of relief and then pulled Qian Suisui over the edge of the courtyard.

Fortunately, there were no demons in the Qian family's courtyard, and the entrance was tightly sealed, making it impossible for an ordinary person to enter.
