Three months later.
East Sea.
A hundred miles near Silver Hook Island.
On the sea surface.
A slender figure in green sped rapidly towards Silver Hook Island, it was Huang Wanting of the Huang Family.
Behind her, an old Taoist in a black robe wielding a Myriad Souls Banner.
"Little beauty, agree to dual cultivate with this old Taoist, and I’ll spare your life!"
"Otherwise, don’t bla for being ruthless, pulling you into the Myriad Souls Banner!"
The black-robed old Taoist let out a strange cackle, black fog rolled beneath his feet as he pursued Huang Wanting.
Huang Wanting’s pretty face turned livid, she shot a barrage of flying needles behind her without turning back, fleeing towards Silver Hook Island.
The black-robed old Taoist rely waved his sleeve, and the flying needles fell into the sea.
This person was a disciple of the Netherworld Sect.
His cultivation of demon technique, weird and unpredictable, hard to guard against.
"Refusing a toast but taking punishnt!"
The black-robed old Taoist knew the Huang Family from Silver Hook Island.
Years ago, he had been lurking nearby.
Until the conflict between the Daoist and Demon sects of Song and Liang countries began.
The black-robed old Taoist cast a spell, and waved the Myriad Souls Banner, from which an evil ghost erged.
With green fangs and erald eyes, its face sinister.
"Grab her!"
The ghost, a height of ten feet, turned into a cloud of black fog, sweeping forward.
It quickly caught up to Huang Wanting, amidst eerie laughter, with sharp fingers like blades reaching out to grab her.
Huang Wanting sensed the ghost with her divine sense, her heart trembled.
Biting her teeth tightly, she circulated her spiritual power, and a talisman appeared in her hand.
Clearly, it was a [Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talisman].
Huang Wanting was only at the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation.
To activate the [Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talisman], she spat out a stream of essence blood.
Even if it ant death, she would not fall into the demon cultivator’s hands.
The thunder talisman radiated brilliantly.
"Boom!"
The ghost let out a piercing wail, with both ghostly hands shattered, covering its head, turning into black smoke, and retreating into the Myriad Souls Banner.
"Trash!"
The black-robed old Taoist cursed loudly.
However, he didn’t remain idle.
Taking advantage of the ghost’s cover, a Netherworld Bone-Piercing Nail shot out.
It was about to hit Huang Wanting.
"Don’t bla ! Bla yourself!"
"Unwilling to dual cultivate with , then into the Myriad Souls Banner you go!"
The Netherworld Sect excels in soul extraction and refining banners, enhancing their power rapidly through slaughter and blood sacrifices.
The cultivation speed is much faster than that of the Daoist Sect cultivators.
The physical bodies and souls of Daoist Sect cultivators are prized cultivation resources in the eyes of demon cultivators.
Cultivators like Huang Wanting.
Capturing them alive is great, for dual cultivation.
Killing them is also fine.
Their souls refined into the Myriad Souls Banner, the power increases slightly.
At this mont.
A Dark Spirit Fish, shaped like a sharp blade, suddenly darted over.
Just before colliding with Huang Wanting, turned into a cyan spirit shield, wrapping tightly around her.
The Netherworld Bone-Piercing Needle struck the cyan spirit shield, but the spiritual light remained undiminished.
Huang Wanting, still in shock.
Looked up ahead.
A male and female cultivator stood side by side.
The male cultivator appeared elegant and composed, it was Shen Xuan, whom she had t once before.
"Huang Wanting from Silver Hook Island greets Senior Shen!"
"Thank you, Senior Shen, for saving !"
Shen Xuan nodded.
"How is your grandfather?"
"Grandfather is well, often reminiscing about Senior Shen!"
Shen Xuan laughed warmly.
Huang Wanting’s words couldn’t be more fake.
Two years ago, he had bought a Jade Spirit Clam from the Huang Family.
At this ti, the black-robed old Taoist, seeing Shen Xuan and Huang Wanting talking, attempted to sneak away.
He waved the Myriad Souls Banner, conjured the netherworld black fog to hide his figure, and flew in the opposite direction.
"Trying to escape! Stay and feed the insects!"
The white-robed female cultivator chuckled.
It was none other than Immortal Bai Lian.
A cloud of black soared from the insect bag at her waist, it was hundreds of Shadow-devouring Demon Insects.
"Shadow-devouring Demon Insects!"
The black-robed old Taoist exclaid.
The evil ghost from the Myriad Souls Banner had just flown out when it saw the Shadow-devouring Demon Insect and turned to flee back.
How could it escape!
The Shadow-devouring Demon Insect buzzed, its body shifting between reality and illusion, seemingly crossing space, swarming on and devouring the evil ghost.
The black-robed elder turned to flee.
Water erupted explosively.
From the sea beneath the White Lotus Fairy’s feet, a Water Ape, three zhang tall, leaped out, extending a massive arm to slap the black-robed elder into a at patty.
The Shadow-devouring Demon Insect followed closely, layers upon layers pounced on the deford corpse of the black-robed elder.
"Shen Lang, this Myriad Souls Banner is mine now!"
It just so happened that the White Lotus Fairy lacked a Yin Artifact to keep Yin souls!
Seeing Shen Xuan ignoring her, still chatting leisurely with Huang Wanting.
The anger welled up in her heart.
"Shen Lang!"
The White Lotus Fairy hooked her arm around Shen Xuan’s, implicitly declaring her sovereignty.
"Enough! Don’t let the juniors make fun!"
Shen Xuan said helplessly.
Just now, he had inquired about the demon cultivators in Yunyuan Immortal City.
After the Daoist-demonic conflict between Song Country and Liang Country began, Yunyuan Immortal City was dragged into it as well.
Many demon cultivators who had been lying low for years also erged one after another.
Practicing demon techniques, refining demon heads, transforming into demons, extracting souls for corpse refinent, devouring cultivators, and blood sacrifices of mortals.
The Bishui Sect, with limited strength, struggled to cope, miserable beyond words.
The loose cultivators dared not leave the Immortal City at will.
Huang Wanting hadn’t expected that demon cultivators would target her so closely, just a hundred li from her Silver Hook Island.
Shen Xuan sighed.
He hadn’t expected Yunyuan Immortal City to be so chaotic.
"Give my regards to your grandfather!"
Shen Xuan summoned the Silver-winged Python.
The White Lotus Fairy collected the Water Ape Corpse Beast and took Shen Xuan’s arm.
The two rode the Silver-winged Python, soaring clouds and mist.
Half an hour later.
The entrance of Yunyuan Immortal City was heavily guarded.
Shen Xuan took out his identity token for registration.
Bishui Sect City Elder Ruan Siting personally ca to welco him.
"Brother Shen, long ti no see! Today, Ruan will host, we shall not rest until fully indulged at Juxian Tower!"
"Ruan Daoist, you are too kind."
After a few pleasantries, Ruan Siting led Shen Xuan and the White Lotus Fairy into Yunyuan Immortal City together.
Shen Xuan directed Ruan Siting to send out stewards to invite Tang Renhao and Zhu Jintang for a gathering.
"Master Talisman Shen, why didn’t you inform us earlier of your visit!"
Tang Renhao exclaid as soon as he entered, asserting himself.
"You can’t bla Brother Shen for this. Today, it just happened to be my shift, taking the early advantage!"
Shen Xuan introduced the White Lotus Fairy to Tang Renhao and Zhu Jintang.
"This is the White Lotus Fairy from the Beast Taming Zhou Family in Cyan Yang Prefecture, also a friend of mine!"
Zhu Jintang’s eyes showed admiration.
"Master Talisman Shen truly lives like an immortal, carefree and at ease!"
They exchanged a few pleasantries.
The atmosphere gradually rose.
Shen Xuan asked about the nearby Tier Two Water Demons.
He had previously written to ask Tang Renhao to look into it.
Tang Renhao, well-prepared, took out a Sea Chart Jade Scroll.
Shen Xuan’s divine sense swept over it briefly.
It marked the activity ranges of seven Tier Two Water Demons.
"I am ashad! I’ve always wanted to hunt these Water Demons, but lacked the capability!"
"I must thank Daoist Tang! Here, let toast you with my gratitude instead of wine!"
Having finished discussing business, Shen Xuan’s expression relaxed.
Seeing this, Ruan Siting clapped his hands, and the ten or so beautiful maids in Juxian Tower continuously brought out dishes on Jade Plates.
"It cost you, Daoist Ruan."
Shen Xuan said with emotion.
He was an ascetic.
Always having little desire for food and drink.
Tang Renhao and Zhu Jintang, however, were not polite, indulging heartily.
At the banquet, Ruan Siting told Shen Xuan that due to the Mingyang Island affair, Kang Wuji had been exiled to the border market.
Not long ago, during the demon cultivator chaos, Kang Wuji, lacking strength, fell to the demon cultivators.
Shen Xuan was secretly shocked.
"In the cultivation realm, strength is ultimate."
For soone like Kang Wuji, skilled in social maneuvering.
Once he lost his position, he eventually died without clarity.
Glasses clinked together.
After the banquet, Shen Xuan, with the White Lotus Fairy in tow, stayed at the Sect Inn.
"White Lotus, you gather intelligence in Yunyuan Immortal City, I’ll go hunt the Water Demons."
"I’ll be back in as little as ten days, at most a month."
