The cloaked man's gaze returned to the young female Taoist priest. "Did you throw those talismans away?"
Bai Xi nodded, "Mm."
Even if the cloaked man didn't want to believe it, he couldn't change the fact that the talisman was thrown by the female Taoist priest in front of him.
Moreover, he couldn't sense her true strength.
This person is either someone without any cultivation or someone who has hidden their true strength.
Clearly, this person is the latter.
The cloaked man exuded a murderous aura, and Master Yuxuan quickly retreated to a distance.
"Junior sister, keep it up! I believe in you!" Master Yuxuan raised his little fist to Bai Xi in encouragement.
The cloaked figure raised his hand, and the black energy, like a venomous snake, surged towards Bai Xi.
Bai Xi dodged the attack with a quick movement.
Immediately, she produced several yellow talismans, which emitted golden light and flew towards the cloaked figure.
His black aura receded quickly upon contact with Bai Xi's talisman, as if scorched by a raging fire.
Disbelief flashed in the cloaked figure's usually impassive eyes; such a small talisman could actually possess such power.
When did a Taoist priest become so powerful?
The cloaked figure leaped from the rooftop and charged towards Bai Xi like lightning.
Bai Xi immediately formed hand seals, and several talismans flew out and condensed into a sturdy shield in front of her.
The black energy released by the cloaked figure was like a storm, sweeping in like a gale, but it was blocked by Bai Xi's shield and could not break through.
Bai Xi stood in the air, and with a thought, her body suddenly transformed into a blur, quickly dodging the cloaked man's attack.
Her footwork was exceptionally agile, flowing like clouds and water, making it difficult to predict.
Suddenly, Bai Xi stopped, formed a hand seal, and produced several golden talismans that condensed into a dazzling light around her.
Immediately, a powerful force, carrying the light of merit, surged from her body.
The cloaked figure sensed the change in Bai Xi and a hint of wariness flashed in his eyes.
He rushed towards Bai Xi, flipped his hand, and a ball of black energy quickly gathered in his palm, attacking Bai Xi like a storm.
Bai Xi remained as steady as a rock, her body seemingly integrated with heaven and earth, easily deflecting every attack from the cloaked figure.
Bai Xi suddenly brought her two fingers together, and several yellow talismans flew out of her hand, transforming into streaks of sword energy that rushed straight towards the cloaked figure.
The cloaked figure hurriedly dodged, but the sword energy followed closely, relentlessly pursuing him.
The cloaked man could no longer dodge; his cloak was ripped open by the sword's energy, and blood instantly stained the black cloak crimson.
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he charged at Bai Xi again, his fists and feet clashing, each move brimming with power and speed.
Bai Xi responded calmly, her body moving with the fluidity of flowing water. Countless talismans flew swiftly from her hands, each strike causing the cloaked figure to feel the pain of being burned by flames.
Chi Qiangwei, Song Fanze, and the others were stunned by the spectacular fight before them, especially by the young female Taoist priest, whose cultivation was terrifying.
"Wow, my junior sister is so amazing!" Master Yuxuan exclaimed again.
The last time she was this powerful was when she was his apprentice.
He felt he was not qualified to be her mentor.
Now he feels he's not even qualified to be her senior.
The battle raged on for a long time, but Bai Xi's gaze remained firm and relaxed. In contrast, her opponents were in a sorry state.
In the end, Bai Xi's move struck the cloaked man's vital point, sending him flying. He crashed into the roof and fell to the ground.
The cloak fell off, revealing a handsome yet wicked face.
"Lord Death!"
The men in black below were horrified and immediately rushed forward. They never expected that their invincible master, whom they revered as a god, would be defeated by a female Taoist priest.
The cloaked figure stared at Bai Xi, his gaze sinister. "I'll remember you!"
After he finished speaking, his body exploded and he died, and the men in black disappeared as well.
Master Yu Xuan saw that the evil creature was dead, but from its words, it seemed that it had a chance to make a comeback.
Seeing that the cloaked figure had died, Chi Qiangwei got up from the ground and helped Song Fanze up as well.
The daisies and morning glories were safe and sound, and they immediately ran to Rose's side.
Chi Qiangwei and Song Fanze walked up to Bai Xi and said, "Thank you, Taoist priest, for saving us!"
Song Fanze clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, thank you for saving my life, Daoist."
Master Yu Xuan smiled and said, "No need to be so polite with us. We came here following the aura of the ghost cultivators, and it just so happened that we saved you."
Chi Qiangwei asked in confusion, "A ghost cultivator?"
Master Yu Xuan said, "Is that so? You don't know they are ghost cultivators, do you? And that cloaked man, their leader, calls himself the God of Death. He wants to become a god."
Then he glanced at the two of them and asked, "What are you two doing here, a flower fairy and a monk?"
Chi Qiangwei, whose identity was immediately recognized, said, "We are here regarding the case of the missing girl."
Master Yuxuan said, "Is that so?"
He looked at Bai Xi, "Junior sister, I'm leaving this matter to you."
Upon seeing Bai Xi, the girls immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Daoist Master, for saving us."
Master Yu Xuan helped them up, saying, "My junior sister already knows about your gratitude."
Bai Xi looked up at the sky that was about to dawn. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them, her eyes had turned golden.
Scanning the dimly lit street, the ghosts, upon meeting Bai Xi's eyes, instinctively drifted towards her.
When everyone saw the passing ghost appear, they instantly got goosebumps.
Bai Xi asked, "Where are those missing girls now?"
Immediately, all the ghosts raised their hands and pointed in the same direction.
That's the direction of Ming City.
Bai Xi followed their gaze and asked, "Where in Mingcheng?"
One of the ghosts spoke, "On the cliff of Ming City."
"Alright, you can go back now," Bai Xi said, and the ghosts retreated and gradually disappeared.
Chi Qiangwei said, "Daoist, the city lord sent people to search for the cliff in Mingcheng, but they couldn't find the location."
Bai Xi: "Let's look again."
Then, she did some quick calculations and decided to search directly south of the cliff.
Chi Qiangwei was taken aback. "Thank you, Daoist Master."
At this moment, Master Yu Xuan looked at Song Fanze.
"Wow, you've become a half-Buddha!"
Then, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, work hard and strive to become the next person as amazing as my junior sister."
Master Yu Xuan winked at him, "After you become a Buddha, don't forget this old man."
Song Fanze clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, this humble monk will never forget the great kindness of the Daoist Master."
Master Yu Xuan waved his hand, "Since the matter has been resolved, we'll be leaving now."
Then, Bai Xi and Daoist Yu Xuan turned and left.
They could no longer be seen, but Chi Qiangwei and the others were still watching.
