Junior Sister is skilled in subduing demons.

Chapter 10 This thing is really useful
Anzhi was overjoyed to finally obtain the Jade Flower Sword and went downstairs.

"Let's go, to the back mountain." The spirit snake suddenly urged Anzhi to go to the back mountain to catch the demon.

Anzhi calmed down and shook her head. "No, we should go at night. We can't be exposed, or we'll become the target of everyone's criticism." After saying that, she wrapped the Jade Flower Sword in cloth and put it in the cabinet.

"Where are you going?" the spirit snake asked as Anzhi was about to leave.

Anzhi: "The fishpond isn't finished being cleaned yet, I have to continue."

The snake spirit was dumbfounded; An Zhi seemed like a completely different person.

……

The mountains of Sanqingshan are connected one after another, stretching endlessly.

The winding and precipitous wooden walkway on the mountainside, like ribbons entwined among the green mountains and clear waters, has become a unique and beautiful landscape. In the deep canyon, the mysterious and unpredictable mountain mist rises, like a magical veil.

It is exquisitely and gracefully depicted as a landscape painting.

Anzhi was very diligent. At this moment, she was not excited about obtaining the Jade Flower Sword. In her opinion, she needed to work even harder.

Time flies, and the sun sets in the west.

As Anzhi brought back two buckets of water from outside and poured them into the fishpond, the entire fishpond became crystal clear again. Fish swam around at the bottom of the water, turtles and tortoises leisurely crawled around on the stone pier in the middle, and several dragonflies skimmed the surface of the water.

Anzhi teased the fish in the water with a blade of grass and said cheerfully, "Alright, I'm going to catch a demon now. You guys have fun. I'll fill the water tank for you tomorrow."

After saying that, she ran towards the attic with light steps.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
into the night,

Anzhi, carrying the Jade Flower Sword wrapped in cloth, once again led the spirit snake through the dog hole to the back mountain.

Deep in the dense forest, Anzhi sensed a strong, eerie atmosphere, as if countless eyes were watching her from the shadows.

woohoo...

A chilling wind howled through the forest, making her shiver.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed through the woods, and she only had time to see a pair of red eyes gleaming in the darkness.

“Snake Treasure, I... I always feel a strong demonic aura.” Anzhi had this strong feeling again.

The spirit snake said happily, "This is what progress feels like. Only when your spiritual power and level improve can you sense the presence of demons. If your spiritual power and level are even higher, you can identify demons at a glance."

“Oh,” Anzhi continued forward, his previous timidity long gone.

Actually, what Anzhi and the spirit snake didn't expect was that after their commotion last night, their senior brother Ke Dasheng and Luo Ling had been searching all night and all morning without any results. In their frustration, the two had already deployed three fourth-tier demon spirits to wait.

Tonight, the two only opened the stone gate at the back of the mountain, and an ambush was already set up around it.

"Are you... is your injury healed? Are you alright?" the spirit snake asked with some concern, after all, her right arm had been injured by the demon spirit last night.

Anzhi shook his right arm and said, "The old man's medicine is quite effective."

After saying that, she tore off the cloth wrapped around the Jade Flower Sword, revealing a chillingly sharp sword.

Anzhi continued walking deeper into the back mountain, but after feeling her way along the stones for a long time, she encountered nothing. She could sense the demonic aura, but she couldn't find the demon spirit, which left her and the spirit snake feeling like headless flies.

"Where have all the demons gone?" Anzhi asked in a low voice, a little disappointed. "Are there any magical artifacts for finding demons?"

The serpent touched its two tentacles and said, "Yes, it is said that a compass can quickly locate monsters."

"Where does that thing come from?" Anzhi asked casually.

The serpent shook its head.

"Oh, I'm so annoyed!"

Snapped……

An Zhi impatiently swung his sword, and a burst of sword energy instantly cleaved the large tree in front of him.

The sheer power of the sword left An Zhi speechless with shock. Suddenly, the Jade Flower Sword began to move uncontrollably.

"Ya ya ya ya, Snake Treasure, Snake Treasure." An Zhi tried his best to control the Jade Flower Sword.

The icy chill emanating from the Jade Flower Sword seeped into An Zhi's heart. She gritted her teeth, pinning the uncontrollable sword to the ground for a long moment before saying, "Finally, it's still... this......"

Faced with Anzhi's bewildered expression, the spirit snake explained, "Your level is not high enough; you haven't activated it yet. You must quickly collect demon spirit seals to advance to the level of a demon hunter."

"But, but where did this demon come from?" Anzhi looked around in disappointment, but there was nothing there except pitch black darkness.

"Oh no, someone's coming." The spirit snake sensed a group of people approaching from a hundred meters away.

Anzhi was shocked upon hearing this: "It must be Luo Ling. She won't let what happened last night go." "Quick, let's go!"

With hurried steps, Anzhi and the spirit snake darted through the forest behind the mountain.

"Stop!" An Zhi stopped abruptly. A strong demonic aura emanated from behind her. She gripped the hilt of the Jade Flower Sword tightly and swung it backhand: "Demon, take this!"

A wisp of icy energy flew away, followed by a loud "roar" as the demonic energy vanished, leaving four glittering demonic spirit seals on the ground.

"Just like that, he died?" Anzhi couldn't believe it. He hadn't even seen a trace of the demon spirit, and it was gone. He stood there stunned.

The serpent was far from calm. After taking the four demon spirit seals, it quickly urged Anzhi to keep running.

Not long after running, Anzhi sensed demonic energy again, so he once again picked up a stray monster along the way.

And so, while running and picking up scraps, Anzhi killed three fourth-tier demon spirits and obtained twelve demon spirit seals.

Behind them, Luo Ling led the group in pursuit. They had planned to capture the newcomer while he was fighting the demon, but they hadn't expected him to be so powerful. Basically, the demon was already dead by the time they arrived.

"Senior sister, it seems this person is quite powerful. All three of our fourth-tier demon spirits have been killed." Junior sister Li Tongyu exclaimed in disbelief.

Luo Ling was clearly furious, because she had already been seriously and severely criticized by Elder Taiqing for the incident at the training ground in the back mountain. So before Li Tongyu could back down, she slapped her across the face.

Snapped……

As Li Tongyu's face flushed, she took a few steps back in fear.

"We must catch him tonight. Notify Senior Brother Ke immediately and have him lead a search party across the mountain," Luo Ling said angrily.

"Yes." Li Tongyu turned around, feeling wronged, to give the order.

Three fourth-tier demon spirits, even Luo Ling had to fight dozens of rounds to defeat one of them, but now the newcomer killed it instantly, which made Luo Ling shudder: "Immediately go to the Sanqing Hall to report to Elder Taiqing, and say that there are distinguished guests visiting Sanqing Mountain."

"Yes!" Another disciple followed and left.

Looking at the pitch-black forest, Luo Ling sensed that this matter was not simple.

Meanwhile, Anzhi and the spirit snake had already returned to the dog hole via the original route.

It must be said that Anzhi was quite clever; as she retreated, she covered the path with weeds and branches to prevent anyone from noticing.

Filled with excitement, Anzhi ran quickly toward the pavilion.

"Anzhi."

"what!"

Fan Jin's voice was like a terrifying spell, startling An Zhi so much that he dropped the jade sword wrapped in cloth to the ground. He looked around, but the spirit snake was nowhere to be found.

Fan Jin was sitting on the stone steps in the courtyard, holding an ancient book in his hand.

"Shishi, Shishu, Shishu." Anzhi hurriedly picked up the Jade Flower Sword wrapped in cloth on the ground, and then her mind went blank.

Fan Jin, holding the ancient book, stood there dumbfounded for a long time before muttering, "Put my Bagua jade pendant on the table and go to rest. Don't wander around at night; the back mountain isn't safe lately."

"Oh, oh, oh." Anzhi nodded nervously and ran upstairs.

Back inside, Anzhi leaned against the door, her heart pounding, and muttered to herself, "Didn't he see? The Jade Flower Sword was so heavy, and it fell to the ground with such a loud noise. I came back so late at night, why didn't he even ask me where I'd been?"

"Does he...do he know what I'm doing?" Anzhi couldn't believe it: "What...what does he mean?"

Just as Anzhi was still feeling uneasy, a commotion arose in the courtyard.

Anzhi stuck his head out and looked into the courtyard, where he saw Luo Ling leading a group of people outside.

"Ling'er greets her martial uncle." Luo Ling had just arrived at the blessed land when she saw Fan Jin leaning on his cane, preparing to enter the pavilion.

Fan Jin slowly turned around and, seeing that it was a group of disciples, said, "Oh, Ling'er, is something the matter?"

"Uncle-Master, tonight Senior Brother Ke and I met that person again in the back mountain. We didn't kill any of the three fourth-tier spirit demons in the back mountain. It seems that a distinguished guest has visited our Sanqing Mountain. Tomorrow morning, Elder Taiqing will invite Uncle-Master Fan to the Sanqing Hall for a meeting," Luo Ling reported.

Fan Jin was taken aback when he heard this, then looked up at An Zhi's window on the fourth floor, which startled An Zhi so much that he trembled as he scrambled back into the room.

"Hehe, we have distinguished guests visiting! Very good, very good."

"By the way, how is Junior Sister Shen Anzhi doing lately? I hope she hasn't caused you any trouble, Uncle-Master?"

"Oh, her? She's quite diligent; she changed all the water in the fishpond today."

"That's good. If she does anything wrong, just tell Ling'er."
