This woman was none other than Xiang Sheng, who had hurried over from Wanjian Gate. At this moment, she had used the secret technique of shape-shifting to conceal her true identity.
She did not hide her movements when she came, and the great elder nearby noticed it and flew over immediately.
Seeing that it was a strange female cultivator, the Great Elder landed three feet in front of Xiang Sheng, raised his hands and clasped his fists, his tone full of vigilance, "I am the Great Elder of the Wanjian Sect, Yan Qing. This place is under the jurisdiction of my Wanjian Sect. May I ask your name, fairy, and where you are from?"
Xiang Sheng's lips curled slightly, and a graceful voice different from the past rang out in the forest, "Elder Yan, you are too polite. I am just a wandering cultivator, just an unknown person. Even if I tell you my name, I am afraid you won't recognize it.
I just flew to this high altitude and sensed the existence of this strange place, so I came to lend a hand."
Yan Qing's brows relaxed slightly upon hearing this, but he remained vigilant. He continued, "Fairy, I am deeply grateful for your kindness in coming. However, the Underworld is in turmoil, and the Demon Cult is showing signs of a resurgence. If you refuse to tell me your name, I will be unable to rest easy."
Xiang Sheng chuckled upon hearing this, "Elder, what you said is truly boring. If I were truly from the Demonic Sect, and I were to tell you a false name, how would you be able to tell?"
Yan Qing's expression froze for a moment, "Fairy..."
"My surname is Si, and my given name is Wu Yue."
Xiang Sheng's eyes turned, "Elder Yan, are you satisfied?"
Yan Qing was really not impressed when he heard this, and his heart tensed up: "Miss Si came here in such a hurry, and she knows a little about the strange place. I'm afraid she won't be too hasty and end up doing more harm than good."
"It's because I don't understand that I want to ask Elder Yan for some advice today."
Xiang Sheng flicked a wisp of white mist from his fingertips. "Elder, do you know how many dangers there are in this strange place?"
Yan Qing raised his hand to stroke his white beard and coughed lightly, "Miss Si, this is the first time that our Wanjian Sect has faced such a situation. We don't know how to deal with it, and how can we know the dangers involved?"
Xiang Sheng raised her eyebrows slightly. The Great Elder had explained everything to her in detail inside the door, and he must have known some of the dangers involved. But judging from the current situation, the other party didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend, and he was probably unwilling to reveal a single word.
"That's all."
Xiang Sheng's smile faded, "Since the Great Elder doesn't want to tell me, I will go and investigate on my own."
After saying that, she turned around and stepped into the vast white fog without saying a word, and her figure quickly disappeared.
Yan Qing's expression changed instantly, "Miss Si?!"
He took a few steps forward, staring blankly at the swirling white mist and the wrinkled old face that kept changing.
This woman looked young, yet acted so recklessly. Could it be that she was here to help? By being so defensive, had she really hurt her feelings... had she done something wrong?
As soon as Xiang Sheng entered the white fog, he noticed something unusual.
She crossed the air with her fingers, and threads of sword intent came out of her fingers, forming a net that trapped a ball of white mist and suspended it in front of her.
After sensing it carefully, Xiang Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
This ambiguous breath was very gentle and even a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had sensed it before.
Such a gentle and harmless aura became such a strange and terrifying existence in the mouth of the Great Elder. Why?
Retracting her sword intent, she let the white mist drift away from her fingers and turned to step forward. The mist obscured the sky, but it couldn't block her eyes. Wherever her gaze reached, the sword intent unbridled, piercing through everything, revealing everything even in the distance.
The only pity is that although she has a far-sighted vision, her spiritual sense cannot be used. She cannot get a glimpse of the entire picture of the strange place and can only see whatever she walks to.
After a slight sensation, Xiang Sheng frowned slightly.
Xiang Jianjue actually consumed all the remaining sword intent she left in his body. Although this town is small, if you really rely on searching with your eyes, it will take forever to find it.
Since she couldn't find Xiang Jianjue and the others, who could she get the method to break out of this mysterious place from?
Unable to think of a better solution at the moment, Xiang Sheng could only explore forward for the time being.
A moment later, she entered the small town through the gate and immediately smelled a disgusting smell of blood. Many mortals were lying on the rugged dirt road, all of whom had been dead for a long time.
Xiang Sheng frowned slightly, stepped over the corpse and entered a house with the door wide open. With a quick glance, he pulled out the shivering young couple from under the bed.
“Mercy!”
"Please spare my life, Immortal!"
"May Empress Shengji bless you!"
“…”
The couple was so frightened that they were talking nonsense. Xiang Sheng pointed at their eyebrows, and the young woman was shocked and woke up first.
Seeing that there was also a woman in front of her, the young woman's eyes widened and she immediately fell to her knees, "Goddess, please save us!"
The husband soon regained consciousness and knelt before Xiang Sheng, begging for help.
Xiang Sheng saw the dark blue light between their brows, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Keep hiding. I'll take you away in an hour."
