Chapter 38
As time passed, some of the people who were controlled regained consciousness.
The people of Yongshu Township, whose minds were controlled and turned into puppets, hugged each other and cried with joy; the monks and little demons whose cultivation was almost sucked dry were ecstatic that they had escaped the disaster. Those who had sects contacted their masters, and those who did not contacted their relatives and friends.
For a moment, the voices of the survivors were noisy. Everyone felt that they had left the "Eternal Sorrow Village" where they had been imprisoned for an unknown period of time, and they relaxed.
When they once again saw the 'Red Love Flower Sea' that had become their nightmare, not only the monks were upset, but the people of Yongshu Township also had mixed feelings.
The vast sea of flowers outside the small town is no longer fragrant and full of spring, and only the withered scene blown away by the north wind remains.
"Wait! What is that?" The careful Tang Zheng was the first to notice something was wrong.
"Oh no, it's demonic energy!" Liu Huaifeng's face was as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He put his fingers together and circulated it through several acupoints around his body. "This demonic energy didn't fade away with the dissipation of 'Yong Shu Xiang'. Instead, it came out with us."
"This demonic energy is not only dense, but also extremely pure." Master Baili's solemn gaze swept over the land and sky of Yongshu Township, then looked at the ordinary mortals who were stunned with tears because of his words, and finally looked at the cultivators, "Not only here, but also in you. Wait, this is not demonic energy!"
Demonic energy raged, eroding the land, comparable to a small demonic realm. Even ordinary mortals were infected, and those controlled cultivators were also mixed with an unknown...death energy?
Master Baili, who had made the judgment, was stunned.
All monks:!!!
"What should I do then?"
"My spiritual power! I don't want to become a demon cultivator!"
"Mother! Father! I'm scared! Wuuuuuuu——"
Jiang Wan looked at the sky which was gradually becoming gloomy, and looked at the atmosphere which had instantly changed from joy to sorrow, and saw their expressions as if they were dying and holding their heads in tears.
Her fingers couldn't help but touch the bridge of her nose, and she leaned behind Lin Xubai, trying to reduce her presence.
Before, she had activated her ultimate power in the Demon Realm, and the Demon Realm was full of demonic energy. She had no idea that there would be such a side effect after activating her ultimate power.
The demon cultivators who were being played by the stacked music: Don’t you know? You just don’t care! How do you think you got your reputation as a cold-blooded, ruthless, and bloodthirsty killer in the Demon Realm?!
Lin Xubai glanced at Jiang Wan who was rustling towards him with a smiling look in his eyes. Is he feeling so guilty?
But he didn't say anything. His left hand hung naturally at his side, and the wide cuff just brushed Jiang Wan's hand, and she subconsciously grabbed it in her palm.
Jiang Wan suddenly felt relieved: As expected, she can't live without Xiaobai.
All the cultivators who discovered that their spiritual power was contaminated by demonic energy looked unhappy. They looked terrible and did not notice that the several demonic cultivators who had separated with them had quietly slipped away without them noticing.
You Sheng looked at Master Baili at a loss.
"Don't worry! I have a way." Master Baili was confident.
Master Baili just pointed his toes, jumped onto his own spiritual sword, and flew into the air.
A huge blue hexagram formation appeared in the air.
"Boom—"
Suddenly, the dark clouds turned black, huge thunder pierced through the clouds and split the sky, and a violent storm arose.
The debris on Jiang Wan's forehead was blown away by the sudden strong wind, and her eyes were half-closed by the strong wind. She tightly grabbed Lin Xubai's sleeve to block her eyes, as if using this method to resist the fierce wind.
There are many people who do the same thing as her.
Jiang Wan, who used his sleeves to block the wind, secretly gave a wink to Gu Yun who was mixed in the crowd.
Gu Yun, who received Jiang Wan's signal, nodded her chin slightly.
After Gu Yun was subdued by Jiang Wan in the Soul-Devouring Orb space, she took the staff given by Jiang Wan and ran around the entire secret space to leave marks, so that it would be easier for her to take the entire secret space for herself later.
Although it didn't succeed in the end, fortunately the result was good.
Lin Xubai raised his head and squinted his eyes, looking at Master Baili who was in the thundercloud in the sky. He put the hand holding the folding fan back into his sleeve and silently drew a rune.
A barely visible talisman light followed the lightning upstream and merged into the thundercloud.
On the other side, Gu Yun quietly placed the bottom of the staff on the ground, and a cold blue light penetrated into the ground from the bottom.
A thundercloud not only cleared out the surging demonic energy in Yongshu Township, but also cleared away the remaining demonic energy and death energy from everyone. Oh, he himself was transformed from a cold demon cultivator leader into a regular sword cultivator.
"Now that the matter is settled, we will take our leave." You Sheng bowed to Liu Huaifeng and the others, then nodded to Master Baili and planned to leave with his fellow disciples.
A series of bad things have made him so tired that he just wants to go back to the sect and is eager to go home.
Tu Changxing thought so too. He could finally return to the sect. It felt like several years had passed since he left!
Jiang Wan walked at the end of the group.
"Wait a moment."
Several people who had walked a long distance were stopped.
"Is there anything else?" Chu Yingluo turned around and asked.
Then they discovered that there was a group of people calling them. They looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Jiang Wan at the same time.
"Sorry." One of the male disciples bowed to Master Baili who was at the front, but his eyes never left Jiang Wan.
Not only him, but the whole group of people looked at Jiang Wan with strange eyes, and they all held communication jade talismans in their hands.
At this moment, the unanimous gazes made Jiang Wan feel as if she was back in the horror theater of "Yongshu Township", and an ominous premonition rose in her mind.
That's not right. Didn't she solve the side effects of her ultimate move?
"The blue-robed swordsman... petite..." Several people looked at each other, as if they had exchanged some information and reached a consensus. The man who saluted first took a few steps forward and said, "It was you, Daoist friend, who took advantage of the battles between us cultivators in Guangxin Prefecture to learn the 'Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin' sword control technique and collected so many spirit swords. These spirit swords were hard to come by, so please return them."
"Yes, yes, yes, my junior brother spent a lot of effort and hardship to obtain the spiritual sword. If you pick up the spiritual sword, what will happen to my junior brother and his brothers?"
"It's fine if you're asking for advice, but you're fanning the flames and taking the spirit sword while everyone's fighting. Fellow Daoist, even though you're a swordsman... you can't... do this, it's unkind, isn't it?"
The key point is that not only was the sword stolen, it was also resold! Due to the large number of victims, these people unknowingly gathered together and even exchanged communications to find the wanted person, no, to find the second-hand dealer who was fanning the flames while picking up the sword!
Chu Yingluo/You Sheng/Tu Changxing suddenly turned their heads to look at Jiang Wan:!!!
What did they hear? Picking up swords and selling them?
Only Tu Changxing covered his face with one hand. He knew that with Junior Sister Jiang's personality, she would definitely not be so quiet and come all the way to Yongshu Township.
Now his heart was finally at peace.
Jiang Wan, who became the focus of the whole audience: "......"
She had been very curious about the "Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sect" move before when she was in Guiyuan Sect, but unfortunately Guiyuan Sect was weaker than her, so she never had the chance to see it.
Who knew that by coincidence, they would mistakenly enter the sword-riding scene of "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin" several times. The fighting was fierce there, and Jiang Wan made a lot of money below.
In fact, she was just curious at first whether the fallen swords were real or fake, but as she was picking them up, her storage bag was full.
If they concealed it, they would clear out their inventory and then resell it for the money.
Achievement achieved - Second Hand Dealer.
She just picked up some junk and swords that you don't want. Why are you still wanted for her?
Not really, they are all low-level.
But she didn't use her real name, so how could she be exposed so quickly?
To be precise, she was the one who picked up the "money", and Xiaobai was the one who added fuel to the fire.
Why is it that Xiaobai was the one who fanned the flames, but she is the one who is remembered...
Jiang Wan looked at Lin Xubai with resentful eyes.
Lin Xubai, who understood Jiang Wan's eyes, gestured innocently, then spread his hands slightly, which made Jiang Wan's eyes even more resentful.
There are obviously two people, why is she always the one who gets caught?
Eh? Why did she say always?
In fact, the reason why Jiang Wan was exposed had nothing to do with his name. It was mainly because one of the people who picked up the sword was a great painter. He simply drew several portraits of Jiang Wan with a stroke of his brush and distributed them to all the monks who lost their swords, one for each person.
They not only sent it to the victims, but also to those who were training outside. As a result, the people trapped in "Yongshu Township" were covered in this news and portraits after they finally got in touch with people.
Originally they didn't dare to stop people, after all, the leader was in the Spirit Transformation Stage, and it was this fellow Taoist who broke the secret realm and rescued everyone.
But...
After the great master in the Spirit Transformation Stage resolved the evil spirit, his realm suddenly dropped from the Spirit Transformation Stage to the Golden Core Stage, and his strength was severely depleted. This was the best time for him to find her to return the sword.
Jiang Wan was in a complicated mood when she was urged to return the sword again. What should she say? Your swords are of poor quality and were all destroyed in the secret realm. She couldn't get them out.
At this moment, Master Baili roared angrily, and demonic energy overflowed from his body, and he became a demon in a second.
"run--"
"Huh?"
Before Jiang Wan could react, she was pulled onto a magic sword and experienced racing in the air.
Sparks and lightning all the way.
Thunderous purple light fell on Master Baili.
"Brother Baili, are you a demon cultivator or an immortal cultivator?! How can you switch between demon and immortal in a second?"
Speeding is fine, but how did you manage to go from being a fairy to a devil in just one second!
No, is that reasonable?
"Ah, I heard it's because Senior Brother Baili has a bad character. Although he has excellent talent, his character can't keep up with his realm, so he gets possessed from time to time. But fortunately, he has a lightning spirit root, so when he gets possessed, he can give himself a shot to suppress the evil nature."
"Doesn't that mean I can switch back and forth between demon and immortal at will? When I'm free, I can cultivate immortality and become a golden elixir. When something bad happens, I can directly turn into a demon and rapidly rise to the level of a god! Wow! This is too incredible!"
What a great skill of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!
Coach! I want to learn this!!!
Lin Xubai, who could fully understand Jiang Wan's thoughts, shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and tapped Jiang Wan's head lightly, trying to wake her up and stop her from dreaming in broad daylight.
"That's not the case. This transformation may seem simple and easy, but it actually has flaws. Not every time, his cultivation level will skyrocket. When he transforms into a demonic cultivator and then back again, his original cultivation level will decrease."
"So that's how it is." Jiang Wan sighed, and suddenly realized that the voice answering her question was not Chu Yingluo.
Looking towards the source of the voice, Jiang Wan exclaimed in surprise, "Bai Qingqing, you're still here!"
Chu Yingluo: "Why are you following me if you are not a disciple of Guiyuan Sect?"
"Oh, even if the friendship is gone, the business is still there." Bai Qingqing smiled gently, and the pen in her hand kept moving.
Although she was smiling on her face, she was actually regretting so much that she wanted to cry. She was so stupid as to reveal her identity as a disciple of Humoting. If she went back like this, she would definitely become a laughing stock among the disciples of Shuige!
At the very least, she wanted to record Jiang Wan's method of breaking into the secret realm of Yongshu Township.
Regarding this question, not only Bai Qingqing was curious, but even Baili Shangren, Chu Yingluo and You Sheng also wanted to know.
At this time, Lin Xubai intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the demon cultivator following behind them.
Jiang Wan briefly told Lin Xubai about her and Lin Xubai's conjectures and bait plan, and then she wanted to trap the succubus and push her into the inner space of the Soul Devouring Orb, so that she could accidentally awaken Gu Yun.
Because of Gu Yun's help, she was able to break the Soul-Devouring Orb. It was also Gu Yun who told her about the boss and Rao Jingyi.
When talking about Rao Jingyi, we have to mention Rao Zhiyi. What's strange is that when everyone woke up, these two people disappeared.
In short, all the blame was put on Gu Yun, and it was the boss who led the way.
Although she is a demon cultivator, she is a good person.
"If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be able to do it so smoothly." Jiang Wan spoke well of Gu Yun.
However, with the existence of Master Baili, who switches back and forth between demonic cultivation and immortal cultivation, they are not so disgusted with demonic cultivation who do not do evil.
However, this comfortable atmosphere did not last long as it was broken by the sudden appearance of a group of people.
"We didn't cause any trouble for you, but instead you set up a magic circle here to plot against us." Chu Yingluo sneered at the people surrounding them.
These demonic cultivators had clearly grasped Master Baili's weakness and were waiting here for an opportunity. Their facial expressions didn't change at all when they heard Chu Yingluo's words.
"It seems that you not only calculated my current cultivation level, but also the information those cultivators received was obtained by you, so you specially set up a killing formation on this road in advance." Master Baili's eyes moved around, and finally turned from Chu Yingluo to the leader on the opposite side.
"No way, again?" Jiang held Lin Xubai's arm and complained in a low voice.
Jiang Wan tilted her head slightly towards Bai, "These demon cultivators don't seem to be the same as before."
I haven't seen her in Yongshu Township. She doesn't have any marks on her body.
"It's the Gathering Envoy of the Demonic Spirit Path."
"The envoy of picking wild vegetables?"
"They are a group of people who specialize in finding the best 'love partners' for the disciples of the Demonic Spirit Sect." Bai Qingqing.
"Sorry." The leader was an acquaintance, Wu Hualin, who took the initiative to appear from the shadows. "The Demon Lord has ordered us to obey."
"Demon Lord?!!!"
Master Baili obviously never imagined that this was an order from the new Demon Lord of the Demon Realm.
Not only was he shocked, Chu Yingluo and You Sheng were also obviously surprised. They had suspected that it was the work of the Demon Lord in Yongshu Township before, but found out that it had nothing to do with the Demon Lord. Now that they had left the secret realm, a group of demon cultivators said that they were following the orders of the Demon Lord to kill them.
How could such small people as them have such qualifications?
"The Demon Lord has ordered that all immortal women with outstanding appearances be brought back."
Wu Hualin could understand the shock and confusion of Master Baili and others, but he also didn't understand.
But they had no choice, this was an order from the Demon Lord.
Jiang Wan: "Fuck!"
Why is someone being blamed again?
It’s not over yet!!!
