Xiao Qi was standing under a tree outside the village. Like Chu Chu, she came out to receive a mission from the sect. Her mission was to find and deal with the demonic monks who appeared here.
"Is there no demonic energy left?" Xiao Qi looked around carefully, but she did not find any traces of demonic cultivators.
After thinking for a few seconds, she decided to disguise herself and hide her identity as a disciple of the Tianjian Sect... no, the Zhanyue Sect, to prevent the demon cultivator from escaping after seeing her.
After a while, Xiao Qi changed into an ordinary tight-fitting outfit and covered her white hair with a hat. With the long sword at her waist, she looked like a heroic female knight, except that her height was a little less than ideal.
Although her appearance outside the village in this attire was suspicious, it would be fine as long as the other party did not recognize her as a disciple of the Zhan Yue Sect. After all, to a demon cultivator, disciples from a large sect and disciples from a small sect are two different things. If they encounter the former, they must run away, but the latter can become a part of their own cultivation.
So even if the demon cultivator cannot confirm her identity, the other party will not leave easily, and may even come closer to observe, which gives her an opportunity.
So, Xiao Qi walked quickly towards the village. If the evil cultivator still stayed here, he would definitely hide near the village and secretly capture the villagers for cultivation.
And things developed just as she expected. When she was wandering around the village and asking villagers about the missing person, a pretty woman walked towards her nervously.
"Um, Immortal, are you here to investigate the missing people here?"
"I'm not an immortal, I'm an immortal cultivator." Xiao Qi corrected the other party's address, and then continued to ask her, "Do you have any clues?"
"Of course." The woman nodded quickly. "Before they disappeared, they came to my place to buy tofu. At that time, I heard them talking about some fairy spirit in the south mountain, and they wanted to go to the south mountain to find out what it was."
"Okay, thank you. I'll go take a look later." Xiao Qi nodded.
"Then I'll trouble you, Immortal. I've been really scared these past few days, especially since I heard someone say that there were demons wreaking havoc. As a result, I haven't slept well these past two days. By the way, Immortal, are you from the Chixia Sect? I heard that place is full of immortals who can fly on clouds and mist. When I was a kid, I wanted to become their disciple, but I couldn't find them at all..."
The woman seemed to be very talkative. It might be her first time meeting an immortal cultivator. Plus, Xiao Qi didn't act superior, so she kept talking to Xiao Qi.
"First of all, I'm not an immortal yet. Also, I...well, I'm from the Chixia Sect. This time I received a mission from the sect to come here for an investigation."
Xiao Qi nodded and accepted the identity. She remembered that Chixia Sect was a small sect near the village, but they seemed unable to deal with the evil cultivators here. In addition, Chixia Sect happened to be near Zhanyue Sect, so the mission to subdue the evil cultivators appeared in the mission hall of Zhanyue Sect.
"Okay, fairy."
Xiao Qi: “…”
Forget it, she was a little tired and didn't want to correct the other person's address anymore.
"By the way, fairy, the mountain in the south is more difficult to walk on. Do you need me to find someone to help lead the way?"
"No need." Xiao Qi shook his head. "If it really is the demon you mentioned, then the mountain to the south will be very dangerous, and I may not be able to save its life."
"Okay, take care, fairy."
Xiao Qi watched the woman leave. She felt that she was very suspicious. However, she was not necessarily a demon cultivator in disguise. Instead, it was possible that the demon cultivator took advantage of the woman's 'talkative' nature and deliberately revealed some information to the woman inadvertently, thereby leading the cultivators who came to investigate into a trap. This was also a common trick used by demon cultivators.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to go to the mountain in the south to take a look first. She was not afraid that the South Mountain was a trap, but she was afraid that the demon cultivator would see something and run away.
Nanshan.
"Nothing?"
Xiao Qi frowned slightly. Could it be that the demon cultivator had already escaped? Was his disguise still not working?
At this moment, she suddenly smelled a rotten odor. She looked around quickly and found a hole covered by hay behind a tree. There were several corpses lying in the hole, and it seemed that they had been rotting for many days.
"This method is a bit too crude, and it doesn't seem like something a demon cultivator would do."
Just as she was observing the pit, she suddenly noticed a gust of cold wind coming from behind her.
She quickly turned and drew her sword, only to see a pale right hand coming towards her.
But the sword hit the hand and went straight through it, as if the hand in front of him was just an illusion.
"wrong!"
Xiao Qi reacted suddenly. She quickly retreated and barely avoided the attacking right hand. The attacking right hand missed her and only tore the hat on her head.
A few strands of white hair fell from the gap in her hat, and she stared at the woman in front of her - this person was the woman who had provided clues in the village before.
At this moment, the woman was looking at her with a smile, and her expression was completely different from just now. Even though they looked exactly the same, they gave people the feeling of being two completely different people.
Xiao Qi really didn't expect that the demon cultivator would be so bold. Not only did he disguise his identity and hide in the village, he also appeared in front of her and told her the "clue".
It is estimated that the other party took advantage of the fact that magic cultivators are not that stupid, so the woman should not be a magic cultivator. In addition, she seldom went out to gain experience and lacked experience, so she fell into her trap.
But this is exactly what she wants. As long as the demon cultivator comes out, everything will be easy.
So she didn't waste any time and rushed forward with sword in hand.
But the woman did not dodge, but closed her eyes. Then she opened her eyes with confusion in her eyes. When she saw the stabbing sword, she screamed in panic: "Ah!!!"
"Witch, how dare you hurt someone in broad daylight!"
Suddenly, a sword flashed, and Xiao Qi's sword stopped in front of the woman. At this time, a man was standing in front of the woman and blocked her sword with the sword in his hand.
"Savior, save me!"
The woman who had just escaped from the hands of death came to her senses in fear and immediately grabbed the man beside her in panic.
"Don't be afraid. She can't hurt you at all with me here."
The man smiled at the woman, then he put away his smile and looked at Xiao Qi in front of him, and the white hair hanging down from the torn part of the hat. His eyes narrowed slightly:
"Witch, are you the one who is killing all living beings here?"
"I'm not a witch, I'm a disciple of the Zhan Yue Sect. The one next to you is the devil cultivator." Xiao Qi frowned slightly. She hated the name of witch.
“Oh, do you think I’m blind? How can she be a demon cultivator?” The man looked at the trembling woman hugging him and chuckled. “What’s more, you said you were a disciple of the Zhan Yue Sect, and I said I’m the senior brother of the Zhan Yue Sect!”
Xiao Qi looked at the panicked woman and frowned even deeper. She found that she could not see any flaws in the other party. The other party looked like an ordinary person.
