Chapter 54
A month had passed since the Battle of Sanwalnut Ridge, and the elders of the Xuanzhen Bureau were all severely injured. From their mouths, we learned that it was not an evil god, but a viper.
The Viper, a legendary magical beast, is on the same level as the Rhino and the Demon Ape.
But in my opinion, this viper is far more powerful than the rhino and the demon ape, because I have come into contact with the other two, and I have never felt like an ant trying to shake a tree.
After this battle, the elders began to retreat and the affairs of the bureau were distributed among the deacons.
That day, Erma suddenly received a message from Master Zhang, saying she had to return to the Tianshi Mansion. The day after she left, news broke that demonic energy was emanating from Zhaiyang Mountain. Since I was familiar with Zhaiyang Mountain, I decided to take Liu Danchen to check it out.
We drove for a whole day and finally arrived at the foot of Zhayang Mountain.
Looking at the Zhayang Mountain in front of me, I remember the first time I came here, I was still a child. Although I have changed a lot now, the Zhayang Mountain is still lush and green, without any change.
Liu Danchen and I walked into Zhaiyang Mountain, and Liu Danchen suddenly said, "When we rescued Senior Brother, we passed by Zhaiyang Mountain and met you at the inn. Do you remember?"
Of course I can't forget this incident. At that time, I was alone in Huiyang Inn and almost became a substitute for the hanged ghost!
Speaking of Huiyang Inn, I suddenly thought of a person, or to be exact, a ghost.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before I felt its presence.
Liu Danchen also sensed it and looked into the deep forest.
This sight frightened the boy so much that he hid behind a tree and didn't dare to come out at all.
I shouted to it, "It's me, come here."
After hearing what I said, it timidly came over from behind the tree. However, it kept looking at Liu Danchen with caution. Perhaps the righteousness in Liu Danchen made it uncomfortable, so it kept hiding from him.
I pulled it over, and it still liked to wear colorful clothes.
"Sister." It said happily.
"Have you been here all these years?"
Seeing my "old friend" made me feel emotional.
"Yes, I don't know where Sister Linglong has gone recently, so I just play with the little animals." It said with a smile.
I touched its head, but it quickly took my hand away and said aggrievedly, "If you touch me again, I won't grow taller."
Seeing its appearance, Liu Danchen and I both burst out laughing. He jokingly said, "How did you get to know such a funny guy?"
When we first met, I think it was when I was trying to catch a rabbit, and it kindly told me not to go any further. But I didn't listen to it at that time, so I met the hanged ghost in Huiyang Inn.
"There's been a lot of evil spirits in the mountains lately. Do you know what's going on?" I asked it.
The disheveled man stammered and said nothing.
Seeing its expression, I blurted out: "Could it be Linglong?"
It looked like it was about to cry and said, "You guessed it yourself, it's none of my business."
If it is really Linglong, then I would feel more at ease, because she is not an evil monster and will not come down the mountain to harm people.
While we were talking, the evil spirit began to move and finally went towards the Soul-Breaking Mountain.
"Oh no!" I exclaimed.
Liu Danchen also sensed something was wrong, and the two of us quickly chased after the demonic aura. We knew that within Broken Soul Mountain lay the formidable Quxi. We were nowhere near Linglong's speed; she'd already pulled us far away in just a few breaths.
Liu Danchen and I could only run along the mountain road. There were thorns blocking the way, so we were not running very fast.
When we finally ran to Huiyang Inn, a huge demonic aura burst out from Broken Soul Mountain.
It was Quxi, Linglong woke it up.
"We have to hurry!" I said anxiously.
Finally, we ran all the way and arrived at the village at the foot of Broken Soul Mountain before dark.
I have no good feelings towards this village. When we were in danger, the people in this village were accomplices.
But this time we found that there were no people in the village, but there were many wandering souls.
"What happened?" Liu Danchen obviously remembered it too.
"Evil will be punished, and their death is retribution," I said.
It's not that I'm vicious. If they hadn't framed Li Danyang back then, we wouldn't have almost lost our lives.
The two of us didn't stay for too long, but followed our memories and entered the Soul-Breaking Mountain.
As soon as we entered the territory of Broken Soul Mountain, we felt the huge demonic aura.
Because Qu Xi was too powerful, he was not tolerated by the world and was imprisoned in Broken Soul Mountain. However, this does not mean that monsters from outside can enter at will. Monsters have a deep obsession with their territory, and the so-called "king of the mountain" is just like this.
We were both very familiar with the two demonic auras; one was indeed Linglong's, the other Quxi's. We followed the source of the demonic auras through the mists of Broken Soul Mountain, stumbling along the way for over an hour before finally reaching the center of Broken Soul Mountain, where the two had fought.
Linglong was now clearly outmatched, covered in wounds and bleeding from the corners of her mouth. Meanwhile, Quxi had only sustained minor injuries.
Linglong obviously recognized Liu Danchen and me and shouted, "Why are you here? Get out of here!"
As he was speaking, two laser-like green lights shot out from Quxi's two large horns, shooting directly at Linglong.
Linglong didn't dare to be careless and revealed her true form. In just over a decade, she had grown five tails.
The nine-tailed demon fox is the highest stage of fox spirit, and five tails is extremely rare.
Linglong used its tail to sweep away Quxi's attack, and its five tails swayed in the air as it headed straight for Quxi.
How could Liu Danchen and I just stand by and watch? Besides, we knew that once Qu Xi defeated Linglong, we would not be able to escape either.
"Mighty Yang Yang, the sun rises in the east, the golden feathered arrow flies, and the evil will be killed immediately!"
The golden-feathered arrow flew out of my hand in an instant and shot directly towards Qu Xi.
Liu Danchen walked up with his sword and stabbed it straight into Qu Xi's heart.
With the combined efforts of the three of us, the Quxi was knocked to the ground in a miserable state.
Seeing it fall to the ground, I felt a surge of confidence. The shadow of invincibility it had cast upon my young mind back then seemed to me to be within reach. Just like how the eight elders of the Xuanzhen Bureau had just slain the viper, as long as one reached a certain level of cultivation, even the most powerful monster could be slain.
After the three of us attacked, we immediately retreated, covering each other.
Only then did I have the chance to ask, “What are you doing here!”
"Save my sister." Linglong said.
elder sister?
Liu Danchen and I didn't know that she actually had an older sister.
But now is not the time to discuss this. The three of us looked at the fallen Qu Xi vigilantly. He stood up from the ground, roared, and the sound wave rushed towards us. Liu Danchen raised his sword and moved forward, splitting the sound wave in half, thus resolving Qu Xi's attack.
