They stopped, but Xiang Sheng was not prepared to give in. Without saying a word, he slashed at the white shadow with his sword.
The black shadow was overjoyed and immediately followed suit.
"court death!"
The white shadow's eyes flashed scarlet, the soul-calling banners rustled, and a blood-red ghost slowly emerged from it. Its distorted face was filled with murderous intent, and just the sight of it made people feel cold all over.
The shadow's expression changed drastically when he saw it. "Fellow Daoist, run away! That's a red-robed evil spirit!"
The moment the words fell from his mouth, a flash of white light appeared, and the red-clothed ghost froze in place. Then it was split into two halves, suddenly exploded into a ball of scattered soul, and was annihilated.
The shadow was stunned.
Bai Ying was so frightened that he turned around and ran away without saying a word.
Xiang Sheng swung his sword again, and a moon-white arc of sword light flew out, passing by the white shadow in an instant.
The white shadow's body trembled violently, and then fell from the air, turning into a pool of flesh, deader than dead.
He waved to Xiang Sheng, and a ring flew out from the meat paste and fell into his palm.
"What's this?"
Little Tang Yin asked crisply, her eyes full of curiosity and no fear.
"Storage ring."
Xiang Sheng smiled faintly and handed it directly to Xiao Tang Yin, "If you like it, I'll give it to you. But most of the things inside are harmful to nature, so I can't leave it to you."
Little Tang Yin nodded obediently.
"This...senior?"
A voice came from behind. Xiang Sheng turned his back to look at it. The shadowy figure subconsciously took two steps back, then clasped his hands together and said respectfully, "I am the junior Lord of Lingyu City. My surname is Yuan Liuqing. Thank you for saving my life."
Xiang Sheng's expression was indifferent as he asked, "Why are you covering your face?"
Upon hearing this, the shadow quickly removed the black light surrounding him, revealing the face of an old man. He said awkwardly, "This is a momentary oversight by this junior. I beg your forgiveness, Senior."
Xiang Sheng's eyes turned cold, "You haven't answered my question yet."
"Senior, you've probably come from afar, so you might not know much. Demonic cultivators are rampant here, and some can curse people by eating their faces. If someone remembers your face, your life would be in danger."
Yuan Liuqing explained, then waved his hand, "This isn't the place for conversation. Senior, could you please follow me into the city to discuss this?"
Xiang Sheng nodded slightly without saying anything.
A moment later, at the City Lord's Mansion of Lingyu City.
Little Tang Yin sat obediently on a chair nearby, watching Xiang Sheng and Yuan Liuqing talking.
"Senior, you don't know. I had a daughter in my old age, and I doted on her. I couldn't resist letting her out of the city for a stroll, but she was devoured by that demonic cultivator!"
Yuan Liuqing's eyes turned red. "If you hadn't intervened, I'm afraid... I would never be able to take revenge in this lifetime."
As he spoke, he took out the ghost-killing mirror and said, "My cultivation is low, and this mirror is the only treasure I have. I hope you will not despise it."
"I am not afraid of evil spirits. This thing is of no use to me, and I do not need you to offer me a magic weapon."
Xiang Sheng's expression was calm. "I've been teleported here. Please tell me first, where is this place and which sect is under its jurisdiction?"
"Cross-territory teleportation?!"
Yuan Liuqing was shocked. This senior really had extraordinary cultivation and was actually a great Jindan master who was good at teleportation. No wonder he could kill the ghost cultivators so easily.
His expression immediately showed a hint of awe, and he replied respectfully, "Senior, this is Lingyu City, which is under the jurisdiction of Qianxing Palace. It is a remote area with very few cultivators. However, in recent years, demonic cultivators have been rampant, frequently provoking conflicts among mortals and wantonly harvesting their souls."
Yuan Liuqing looked helpless. "I've already reported this to the Thousand Star Palace, but no one responded. Senior, your cultivation is extraordinary. If you could explain this to the Thousand Star Palace and have them send disciples to assist, that would be great."
When Xiang Sheng saw his expression change, she knew he had misunderstood.
That demon cultivator was a ghost and quite difficult to deal with. Although his cultivation was at the middle stage of foundation building, ordinary cultivators at the peak of foundation building might not be able to defeat him.
But the sword practice can just restrain the ghost practice.
Her injuries hadn't healed, and her cultivation remained at the ninth level of Qi training. However, her mental strength had inexplicably been strengthened, and the sword energy she emanated was far superior to before, slashing and slashing through evil spirits and demons with ease.
Such a misunderstanding is hard to explain.
Xiang Sheng didn't want to explain, so he nodded slightly and said, "I'll do my best."
Yuan Liuqing was immediately delighted. "That couldn't be better. Senior, if you have any other questions, I will definitely tell you everything I know."
Xiang Sheng lowered her eyes, a hint of thought in them. After coming out, she had been busy clearing the true essence of the demon seed in her dantian and had not thought about it properly.
What happened last night made her deeply realize how difficult it is to understand the true essence of the demon seed.
Jian Yuan might be able to improve efficiency, but it would be powerless against the more than twenty demon roots deeply embedded in the acupoints.
There are only two ways to resolve this matter.
First of all, Xiang Hongyu was killed at the source!
Once Xiang Hongyu died, the demonic species would disappear, and it would not be difficult to restore the body;
Secondly, it is to take the sword art to a higher level, to generate sword power and release sword intent!
Whether it is the Sword Scripture or the Flying Sword Technique, both indicate that only by cultivating the sword intent can one be considered a true sword practitioner.
The sword intent can break all evil and illusions. It is more absolute and extreme than the sword force. It is the ultimate of sword. If you can comprehend the sword intent, it will be easy to cut off the root of the devil.
However, the sword intent was illusory and she had not yet grasped it at all.
Although she has reached the peak of the mastery realm now, it will take more than a day or two to reach the sword realm.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng made a decision in his heart and looked up and asked, "Do you know where the nearest Tianqing Pavilion is?"
