"Han'er!" The female voice grew closer, as if she had seen Lang Yuan leave. She cried out urgently, "Help me catch that spirit cat! Han'er!"
Liang Yihan was nearing exhaustion. He was barely managing to summon his flying sword to fend off the entanglement of several ghosts when the woman's voice reached his ears. His hand, which was raised as a sword finger, trembled slightly involuntarily.
Seeing that Liang Yihan was preoccupied with his own problems, the woman continued, "All Yuandao Sect disciples... no, everyone here, listen up! Whoever catches that spirit cat and hands it over to me, I will give them an elixir of immortality!"
Ten years ago, Liu Lingying of the Yuandao Sect stole two Immortal Fruits. She combined them with several precious spiritual herbs and, after nearly a year of diligent refining, finally created five Immortal Elixirs. Now, Liu Lingying offered the Immortal Elixirs as payment, instantly drawing the attention of all the righteous disciples to the beautiful white cat.
Upon seeing those pairs of green eyes, Ahua trembled, and Langyuan's expression changed.
“Uncle Ying…” When Liang Yihan heard that Liu Lingying wanted to exchange the elixir of immortality for the spirit cat, his face turned pale. In that moment of distraction, he paused his flying sword, which allowed a ghost that should have been hit by his flying sword to successfully dodge the sword and bite his neck.
Liang Yihan felt a sharp pain in his neck and couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.
Suddenly, a silver flying sword flew over quickly, piercing the ghost that was biting Liang Yihan and passing through its body. The ghost instantly turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated, its soul and spirit annihilated.
A beam of light flew to Liang Yihan's side, and when the light dissipated, Liu Lingying's figure appeared. She hurriedly threw a pill to Liang Yihan and said, "Han'er, eat this!"
After saying that, she hurriedly flew away, and judging from the direction she was going, she clearly wanted to chase after Lang Yuan.
"Uncle Ying, no!" Liang Yihan didn't even bother to take the pill; he blurted out almost instinctively.
"What?" Liu Lingying paused, turning her head to see the pill fall straight to the ground, her brows furrowing. She frowned, displeased, and said, "What's wrong with you, Han'er? You wasted one of my Rejuvenation Pills!"
Liang Yihan staggered and almost fell to the ground. He grabbed Liu Lingying's arm, his face showing an unusual panic and unease, almost pleading, as he whispered, "Uncle-Master, don't grab her..."
"Who?" Liu Lingying asked, puzzled. After a moment's thought, she hesitated and asked, "You mean that spirit cat?"
Liang Yihan paused, then fell silent, unable to speak.
Liu Lingying's face darkened, and she pressed, "Do you know that spirit cat?"
Liang Yihan's eyes flickered, avoiding eye contact with Liu Lingying.
Liu Lingying waited for a while but he didn't answer. She became a little impatient and was afraid that the rare spirit cat would run away, so she shook off Liang Yihan's pull, turned around and flew away.
"Uncle Ying!" Liang Yihan called out in alarm. He wanted to chase after him, but he was already exhausted and could not fly.
At that time, the masters of various sects arrived one after another. They drove away the ghosts and rescued their disciples. After their disciples relayed Liu Lingying's words, they all turned their attention to the spirit cat on Lang Yuan's shoulder.
In ancient times, the Spirit Cat was also a lineage of divine beasts. This race was not particularly strong in attack, but due to a special physique that set them apart from ordinary creatures, the Spirit Cat lineage stood out among the many powerful demonic beasts of ancient times and joined the ranks of divine beasts. This special physique is what people call the Spirit Cat's Nine Lives.
Spirit cats are adept at stealth and possess nine lives, so in ancient times, neither human cultivators nor demonic beasts dared to provoke them. Even if you killed one, it would revive, conceal its presence, and wait for an opportunity to retaliate. No matter how powerful an existence was, almost no one could escape the spirit cat's revenge.
However, thousands of years ago, a Taoist cultivator skilled in alchemy accidentally obtained the inner core of a spirit cat. He then used the spirit cat's inner core to mix with several spiritual herbs to refine a pill called the Resurrection Pill. Unlike the Elixir of Immortality, which saves people from the brink of death, the Resurrection Pill saves people from the moment of death. That is to say, if a living being takes the Resurrection Pill immediately after death, it can bring them back to life. Its efficacy is nothing short of miraculous.
From that time onward, Taoist cultivators began hunting down the spirit cat clan, and in just a hundred years, the spirit cat lineage was almost wiped out.
Upon seeing a legendary spirit cat under such circumstances, Liu Lingying, the most skilled alchemist, was naturally determined to capture it, even at the cost of an elixir of immortality. As for the other Taoist alchemists, even if they had actually captured the spirit cat, they probably wouldn't have handed it over to Liu Lingying for an elixir of immortality.
At this moment, a group of Buddhist masters arrived at the place. After seeing the situation, many highly accomplished monks began to chant the Rebirth Mantra in unison. About twenty monks, who were at least at the Buddhist level, chanted the Rebirth Mantra in unison. The sound of the mantra, mixed with pure Buddhist power, spread. In a short while, more than a thousand ghosts stopped what they were doing and stood there blankly.
At the same time, all the Taoist disciples focused their attention on the spirit cat.
At that moment, Lang Yuan had already flown to Li Molin's side. He had just stood still when the white cat leaped into Liu Li's arms. During that leap, she transformed back into a tabby cat. At first glance, she was still just an ordinary cat demon.
"Ah Hua?" Liu Li's voice was nasal as she called out in confusion.
"Meow." Ahua responded, curling up in Liuli's arms and burying her face in Liuli's embrace.
Liuli witnessed everything that had happened since Ahua revealed her true form as a spirit cat, and she also heard Liu Lingying's words. She withdrew her gaze from Ahua and looked up, immediately seeing all the Taoist disciples staring greedily at Ahua in her arms, their eyes like hungry wolves eyeing delicious food.
