Jiang Xiaxia stared hatefully at "Jiang Huaixu," "No, I won't beg him. I'd rather die than beg someone who's impersonating my brother."
...
Jiang Huaixu walked up to the two of them and casually asked, "Xiaxia, don't you want to know where your brother is?"
"If you two listen to me, maybe one day I'll be in a good mood and let your brother come back."
Jiang Xiaxia suddenly looked at him, "Are you telling the truth? If we behave, you'll let my brother come back?"
"certainly."
...
When Lu Fuyue arrived at the front hall, she saw a tall, upright man in blue robes with his back to her, holding a white handkerchief and carefully inserting it into the long sword in his hand.
Suddenly, the sharp blade flashed, and with a backhand flick, the sword was placed against her neck. A moment's inattention could have taken Lu Fuyue's life.
At the same time, a terrifying pressure, like a mountain, pressed down heavily on her.
Lu Fuyue's face turned pale, and traces of blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. Her spiritual energy surged violently within her body, but fortunately, her constitution was special and she was not fundamentally damaged.
Meng Qingyan's eyes turned cold. "You're not a human cultivator?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Fuyue felt a chill run down her spine. Oh no! When she first entered this place, she had used the Phoenix Red Lotus Divine Fire in a moment of panic, thus exposing her identity.
But given the circumstances, only the Phoenix Crimson Lotus Divine Fire could kill that demonic cultivator; she had no other choice.
After calming down, Lu Fuyue raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth and said, word by word, "Sect Master, does it really matter whether someone is a human cultivator or not?"
Meng Qingyan held his long sword and moved it closer to Lu Fuyue's neck. Instantly, the blade sliced through her fair skin, drawing out traces of blood.
"So, you're a spy sent by the demon race?"
Lu Fuyue was taken aback. She could not be considered human now, but she was certainly not related to the demon race either.
However, the phoenix is a divine beast, and if its identity is exposed and it is forcibly contracted by these people, it will be even more troublesome.
Therefore, she cannot claim to be a phoenix. However, she also cannot admit to being a demon.
Lu Fuyue shook her head. "No."
"no?"
Meng Qingyan's sharp eyes carefully examined the white-clad female cultivator before him. Her appearance was extremely beautiful, with a lifelike red lotus on her forehead, yet she also possessed a cool and aloof air, making her even more stunning.
It must be said that there are few beauties like her among the human race.
Even if they did, their qualifications would be far inferior to this woman's.
In addition, when he rescued her yesterday, he sensed a divine fire aura around her.
He could tell that this woman was definitely not human.
That aura was beyond what a human's physical strength could refine.
Lu Fuyue showed no fear, allowing Meng Qingyan to scrutinize her.
Meng Qingyan put down his sword, and began to speculate about Lu Fuyue's identity.
I've heard that the Nine-Tailed Fox is born with top-tier foxfire, and the aura of foxfire is somewhat similar to that of divine fire. Coupled with this woman's appearance, could her true form be...?
After a long silence, Meng Qingyan narrowed his long, narrow eyes. "You are neither human nor demon, so why are you here?"
Lu Fuyue remained silent for a moment, wondering why she was there.
Furthermore, what was Yan Nanfei's purpose in pushing her from behind?
Meng Qingyan turned his back to her and continued wiping the long sword in his hand with a white cloth. "This sect leader does not know how you got here, nor does he want to investigate your identity."
"If you deliver a letter back to the Sword Sect on behalf of our sect, I, the sect master, will spare your life, how about that?"
Lu Fuyue's heart sank, and she remained silent.
Along the way, she had already gathered some information, such as the fact that she was currently in a time when a great war between humans and demons was about to break out.
However, as far as she knew, there had never been a war between humans and demons on the Qingyuan Continent, and the Sword Sect had never had a sect leader named Meng Qingyan.
"Why did the sect leader choose me?"
Meng Qingyan paused, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. If he could, he wouldn't want to place his hopes on a mere Golden Core stage demon.
However, Tianlin City is now heavily surrounded by the demons.
Those cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above are the main fighting force in resisting the demons and cannot leave.
Cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage cannot leave this city at all.
He was also the only Mahayana cultivator in Tianlin City, and his departure would cause chaos among the cultivators he led.
Therefore, he was unable to leave.
Meng Qingyan closed his eyes and after a long while slowly spoke, "If I am not mistaken, you possess spatial power."
Lu Fuyue's vigilance grew even stronger.
As expected, some things simply cannot be hidden from those with high cultivation levels.
Meng Qingyan smiled, looked at Lu Fuyue, and paused, "Don't worry, this sect leader is not interested in you."
"As long as you deliver that letter to the Sword Sect, the restrictions on you will be lifted automatically; otherwise, you will die within ten days."
Lu Fuyue's expression changed. A restriction?
When did he place a restriction on her?
Lu Fuyue immediately examined her body, and sure enough, there was a golden rune in her sea of consciousness, enveloped in layers of white mist.
If you're not paying attention, it's really hard to notice.
"Sect Master, what excellent methods you have."
"But this city is now firmly surrounded by demons. How can I, a mere Golden Core cultivator, break through the encirclement and send out this letter?"
Just as Meng Qingyan was about to say something, the sky was covered by layers of black mist, and the screams of countless disciples echoed throughout the city.
His expression changed drastically. Oh no! The demons had broken through the barrier he had set up and were attacking.
Above, a cloud of black demonic energy drifted, engulfing the cultivators on the ground and draining their spiritual energy, turning them into skeletons.
Among them was the fairy attendant who had just brought Lu Fuyue over.
Instantly, countless high-level cultivators were enraged and frantically swung their swords at the demons around them.
"Kill them! Kill these demons! Avenge our cultivators!"
Some elders and disciples of the Beast Taming Sect also began to relentlessly kill demons, driving their own demonic beasts.
"Our Beast Taming Sect will not back down. Even if it means death, we will stop the demon race's invasion!"
As time went on, some cultivators, having exhausted their spiritual energy and losing all resistance, even began to self-destruct their primordial spirits, just to give their companions a chance to survive.
"I'll fight you bastards to the death!"
The Sword Sect was not the only one that came to Tianlin City to resist the demons; there were many other sects, large and small.
They all knew that this place was the first line of defense for the human race, and if it were breached, it would result in heavy losses for the human race.
"Hahaha, Meng Qingyan, hurry up and come out! You human cultivators are really no match for us!"
Meng Qingyan exuded a chilling aura. He grabbed Lu Fuyue's arm, and instantly a letter appeared in Lu Fuyue's mind.
