Li Changan has always adhered to the principle of safety first, so even though he really wanted to know why the guys from Chaoyang Ancient City gathered in Matou City so early, he never planned to go back and investigate.
As for Shen Qingyi, she wanted to go back and take a look, but Li Changan refused to let go, so she could only follow Li Changan back to the sect.
But soon, Li Changan stopped again.
In the forest dozens of feet away, a figure covered in a black robe flashed by. Judging from his figure, it was the black-robed man who was rescued by Shen Qingyi before but escaped in the chaos.
"Why is this guy here?" Li Changan frowned and asked in confusion.
Before Li Changan could react, Shen Qingyi suddenly rushed out and chased in the direction where the man disappeared.
Li Changan sighed helplessly and could only follow.
The two chased all the way until they came to a deep mountain stream and finally stopped at the entrance of a cave.
"Wait a minute, this is a little strange." Li Changan frowned slightly.
"This man was being hunted by people from Chaoyang Ancient City, but he showed no signs of being on guard against being followed. He suddenly appeared and disappeared, as if... deliberately luring us here."
"Be careful."
Shen Qingyi stood at the entrance of the cave and looked back at Li Changan, "Do you want to go in?"
Li Changan shook his head decisively, "It has nothing to do with us. Why wade into this mess? If someone sets us up, wouldn't it be a huge loss?"
Shen Qingyi nodded, "Okay, let's go in and take a look."
Li Changan: "..."
This woman must be out of her mind.
Before Li Changan could complain, Shen Qingyi bent over and crawled in. Li Changan cursed her with gritted teeth and had no choice but to follow Shen Qingyi in.
The cave was very dark, but the deeper one went, the weirder the atmosphere became, and the light gradually turned darker red.
Li Changan keenly discovered that the vitality of heaven and earth here was completely opposite to the power of heaven and earth outside.
"Junior Sister Qingyi, wait a moment." Li Changan was a little nervous. Now he regretted bringing this girl out of the sect to play. Not only did they run into people from Chaoyang Ancient City in Matou City, but now they had to get into this bottomless underground passage. He hoped that his life, which he had survived for more than a hundred years, would be lost in the hands of this girl.
Relying on her Xinzhao's cultivation, Shen Qingyi released her Qi and created a wall of Qi around her. After hearing Li Changan's voice, she hesitated for a moment and finally stopped.
Li Changan took out a piece of paper from his arms and tore off a paper man. After the paper man landed on the ground, he actually took steps and ran like a real person, and in a blink of an eye he burrowed into the ground.
"This is a little trick your Senior Brother Lu Ya taught me. Although it's not very aggressive, it's quite useful for gathering intelligence."
"Let's wait a moment and let this paper puppet investigate the situation."
As Li Changan was speaking, he suddenly realized that the paper puppet connected to his spiritual consciousness had suddenly lost contact. At the same time, an extremely strange aura came from the depths of the mountain path, followed by a smell of blood.
"careful!"
Li Changan just had time to shout when he saw a figure rushing out from inside. Under the black robe was an extremely distorted face.
His eyes were bloodshot and there were wisps of black air on his face.
"Possessed? Go!"
Li Changan's expression changed. He no longer dared to stay and grabbed Shen Qingyi and ran out of the mountain path.
The black-robed man behind him was full of blood. He stretched out a black and red claw from under his black robe and slapped Li Changan on the back.
Shen Qingyi hastily drew her sword to block, then fell over and collided with Li Changan.
Because the two of them didn't go too deep, they immediately withdrew when they saw the situation was not right, so after only a brief contact, they retreated from the mountain path.
The man in black robe, realizing that the threat had disappeared, did not chase after him. Instead, he disappeared into the mountain path again, accompanied by a strong smell of blood.
"What the hell is this?"
Shen Qingyi asked in surprise and doubt, and a dark red dagger flew out from the mountain path and went into her sleeve.
Li Changan frowned, his expression unusually serious.
"This person is also a human cultivator, but it is obvious that he must have been possessed by a demon..."
Li Changan spread out his palm, and in the palm of his hand was a black jade token with the two big words "Sword Law" written on it.
He had taken this token from the man in black robe during the brief contact between Shen Qingyi and him just now, and he was not unfamiliar with this token.
"This is the token of the Sword Master of Taixuan Sect's Jianlu Peak..."
Jianlu Peak is the fourth peak of Taixuan Sect. The peak master in white robe is in charge of the sect's laws and criminal justice. His disciples, the sword-bearing masters, are swordsmen who hide in the darkness and use murderous means.
In other words, the Sword-Carrying Envoy played a vital role in the peace of Emperor Taixuanzong and the stability of the thousands of miles of land he protected.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Why is Taixuan Sword Master here, and why is he possessed by a demon?"
Li Changan's face was solemn and he grabbed Shen Qingyi's hand.
"Let's go back to the sect!"
…
The two of them didn't dare to stay any longer and rushed all the way to Taixuan Sect. After returning to the sect, Shen Qingyi immediately rushed to the sect to report what they had encountered. As Shen Qingyi was a third-generation disciple of Shuihan Peak, it was enough to attract the attention of the sect's top leaders.
Being possessed by a demon is not uncommon in the cultivation world of Beizhou, but when the person who is possessed by a demon is a disciple of Jianlu Peak of Taixuan Sect, it must be taken seriously.
Li Changan anticipated that after this matter was reported, it would inevitably cause a stir in Jianlu Peak, and they would definitely leave the sect to investigate the matter, and as a witness, he would definitely be involved.
