Chapter 34: Demon Slayer (Part 2) This battle might be quite tricky...
In the meeting hall, Liu Qianhe sat at the first seat, followed by the elders of Yantian Sect.
Everyone at the table looked solemn, and Liu Qianhe was the first to speak: "The Immortal Alliance is currently holding a demon-suppressing conference. As the acting leader, I naturally have to attend."
Seeing that the remaining three elders didn't object, Liu Qianhe knew the matter was settled. They discussed a few more matters. After everyone left, she spoke to the screen, "You heard it, too."
Chi Wanyin appeared from behind the screen. There was no such demon-suppressing conference in the previous life. The encirclement and suppression of the demon cultivators at that time was entirely due to the cultivators' hatred and grudges towards the demon cultivators.
"Senior Sister Qianhe, I also want to participate in the Demon Subduing Conference." Chi Wanyin said directly.
Liu Qianhe exhaled, "I know what you're thinking. I heard that some powerful demon cultivators are now gathering in the Demon Palace. Perhaps there will be traces of Song Qingtang there."
Seeing the unpredictable look on her face, Chi Wanyin said, "I must go see her. Senior Sister Qianhe, can you tell me why she became possessed?"
Liu Qianhe sighed, "Since you left, many things have happened in the Yantian Sect, the most significant of which is the passing of the Sect Master. Song Qingtang's temperament has also changed drastically, and he has begun researching the art of resurrection."
Chi Wanyin's heart trembled when she heard this. Resurrection from the dead was no less than an evil magic in the world of cultivation. Either one would end up like Tan Yinxiao, with his body and soul destroyed, or he would face encirclement and suppression by the righteous cultivators.
"Senior sister did this for me, so I must see her." Chi Wanyin has made up her mind.
Liu Qianhe said, "In that case, you will go with me to the Demon Subduing Conference. Besides me, there are several elite inner sect disciples."
Seeing her mention this, Chi Wanyin couldn't help but think of Xu Yunting, "Will Yunting go?"
Liu Qianhe pondered for a moment, "She does have the qualifications, and she has now entered the Golden Core Realm. However, she is traveling outside now. You will meet her on the Immortal Boat later."
Chi Wanyin said, "Before the Demon Subduing Conference begins, I have to go to Yunji City."
*
Yunji City is located in the middle of the territories of the righteous and the evil cultivators. There are both righteous cultivators and evil cultivators coming and going here. It is a place where all kinds of people mix together.
In order not to reveal her identity, Chi Wanyin wrapped herself in a robe that concealed her face and figure.
In her previous life, when she had not yet mastered the art of magic, she had been lurking here and was quite familiar with the place.
She walked into a pawnshop in the city, as if she knew the place well. The clerk thought she was just a monk who happened to be there to pawn something, so he asked impatiently, "Are you pawning something alive or dead?"
Chi Wanyin said directly: "I want to see your shopkeeper."
The waiter didn't take it seriously and immediately tried to chase him away, "Go away, you can't just go see the boss whenever you want."
Chi Wanyin had already gathered her spiritual power in her hands when she heard a very lazy voice coming from the back room of the pawnshop, "Let her in."
Since the shopkeeper had given the order, the clerk naturally welcomed the person in, and then he closed the door to the inner room, so there were only two people left in the room.
In front of Chi Wanyin was a recliner. The woman sitting on the recliner was wearing a bright red palace dress and holding a round fan.
She gently waved her round fan, and the tassels underneath swayed with it. "A cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage has come here to honor you. I wonder what advice you have for me?" She sounded as if she was still asleep.
Chi Wanyin was not surprised that she could reveal her realm in one sentence. After all, she had known in her previous life that Han Yu's perception was different from that of ordinary people.
Chi Wanyin took out a porcelain bottle from her storage bag and threw it at her, "I just want to ask the shopkeeper for something."
Han Yuzhen uncorked the porcelain bottle and saw that it was filled with high-quality pills, each worth a fortune. She put them away, curled her lips, and said, "Tell me what you want."
"I want a map of the Demon Palace." Chi Wanyin's voice sounded indistinguishable from joy or anger.
Han Yuzhen restrained her lazy look and said, "You are very brave. Don't give me away if anything happens." She handed Chi Wanyin a map drawn by spiritual power.
Chi Wanyin took it and was about to put it away when she said, "Thank you."
Han Yuzhen looked at her and couldn't help but say, "If you insist on going to the Demon Palace, you'd better be careful. I heard that there is a powerful demon cultivator there, whose cultivation level may be even higher than yours."
Chi Wanyin naturally took Han Yuzhen's words to heart. It was Han Yuzhen who saved her when she was desperate in her previous life. So she took out another bottle of pills and put it on the table beside her. "This is for you. No need to change it." After saying that, she left the pawnshop.
After leaving the pawnshop, the streets of Yunji City were still bustling with people, but Chi Wanyin's mind did not relax, she was still full of vigilance.
With her spiritual sense, she could naturally sense that someone had been following her since she left the pawnshop, but she did not expose it. After all, she was more interested in the person behind the scenes.
The immortal boat that will participate in the Demon-Slaying Conference will arrive here tomorrow, so Chi Wanyin randomly found an ordinary inn in the city and planned to stay there for one night.
After entering the guest room, she sat on the bed and meditated quietly while paying attention to the movements outside the door.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she heard the faint sound outside.
"I saw her come out of the pawnshop with my own eyes. She must have traded some valuables for a large sum of spirit stones." Hearing this voice, Chi Wanyin knew in her heart that this must be the person following her. She released her spiritual sense and swept them around. Both of them outside the door exuded a strong demonic aura.
Then another rough voice sounded, "It seems that this is still a fat sheep, but she must be from outside the city, so we should be careful."
"Don't worry, there is no cultivator that we can't deal with even if we work together?" It was the same voice at the beginning again.
Chi Wanyin had heard almost everything and understood in her heart that it was the evil cultivators in this city who saw her as prey, but she was not sure who the prey was.
When the conversation between the two stopped, she pretended not to notice and continued to meditate until the two men broke in, each holding their own weapons, and said, "Hand over the valuables on you."
Chi Wanyin then opened her eyes and released the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator. The two were pinned down and unable to move, and only then did they realize that something was wrong.
Chi Wanyin left the bed and looked at the two people on the ground. "They are so skilled. It seems they have done this kind of thing many times."
The one with the rough voice immediately begged for mercy: "We were both bewitched for a moment. Please spare our lives, Almighty."
A sneer appeared on Chi Wanyin's lips. For the demon cultivators in Yunji City, killing and looting were common things. Now that these two demon cultivators fell into her hands, there was no way she would let them live.
"Okay." Chi Wanyin smiled, "But only one of you can survive."
She casually took out a pill and threw it on the ground. "This pill is made of a deadly poison. As long as one of you takes it, I will let the other one go."
Sure enough, as Chi Wanyin expected, the moment she released the pressure, the two demon cultivators started fighting. In the end, the demon cultivator with a rough voice won. He picked up the pill and poured it into the mouth of the other demon cultivator.
But before he could be happy, a bloody mark appeared on his neck. He fell to the ground the moment blood gushed out. It turned out that Chi Wanyin had already drawn her sword. She shook off the blood on the sword and sneered, "Idiot."
Chi Wanyin felt no guilt for killing the two evil demon cultivators. She threw their bodies out of the inn and burned them with magic before returning to the guest room to meditate.
It was not until the first ray of morning light penetrated the window that she opened her eyes. She knew that she should set off to the port where the fairy boat was moored in Yunji City.
The port here was naturally very lively. Chi Wanyin carried the token given to her by Liu Qianhe and boarded the fairy boat that was about to set off for the Demon Palace.
As expected, she saw Xu Yunting as soon as she boarded the boat. Knowing that she must have been waiting there on purpose, Chi Wanyin called out, "Yunting."
After not seeing her for a few years, she has grown a lot taller and has lost her childishness and immaturity.
"Senior Sister Wanyin." Xu Yunting was naturally happy to see Chi Wanyin again.
Chi Wanyin was about to talk to her about something else when she heard a gentle female voice behind her, "Fellow Daoist Chi, how are you?"
Chi Wanyin looked intently and found that it was Yin Xuechan. She was wearing a purple robe and her realm was much higher than the last time she saw her. She had reached the Nascent Soul realm that she was familiar with in her previous life. She wondered if it was because she inherited the Silver Moon Valley.
Seeing that Xu Yunting didn't recognize him, Chi Wanyin took the initiative to introduce him, "This is Fellow Daoist Yin."
Xu Yunting said, "Hello, Fellow Daoist Yin." Yin Xuechan returned the greeting. Seeing that Yin Xuechan seemed to have something to say to Chi Wanyin alone, Xu Yunting left with the excuse of looking for Liu Qianhe.
After Xu Yunting left, Yin Xuechan covered her lips and smiled, "I didn't expect you to come to this Demon Subduing Conference."
Chi Wanyin looked at her and said, "I'm surprised too. If you were facing Xu Anzhi, I wonder if you would use your full strength."
Although the atmosphere between the two could not be described as tense, it was definitely not harmonious either.
Yin Xuechan remained calm when she mentioned this person. "Good and evil cannot coexist. It's nothing more than a fight to the death."
Chi Wanyin's eyes dimmed slightly when she heard this. Although her senior sister had been possessed by a demon, she did not want to hurt her.
Seeing her like this, Yin Xuechan stopped mocking her. "It's rare to see you like this. I thought you were always so decisive and ruthless."
Chi Wanyin curled her lips and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Yin, everyone has weaknesses, and I am no exception."
Yin Xuechan was silent for a moment after hearing this, then changed the subject, "I heard that there's a demon cultivator in the Demon Palace who has broken through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm. I'm afraid this battle will be quite difficult for him."
Chi Wanyin couldn't help but think of Han Yuzhen's words. She could almost guess who that person was.
It just so happened that she had many questions about Xu Anzhi that had not been answered. She would defeat her and then know the answers to these questions one by one, such as why she knew about her past life.
