Junior Sister is skilled in subduing demons.

Chapter 101 I don’t know how to face it
In the dense and secluded forest, dappled light and shadow create a tranquil atmosphere, yet danger lurks beneath.

Shen Anzhi picked up a precious sword along the way and still moved through the forest with a dashing air.

The small blue-and-white porcelain bottle tied around her waist swayed from side to side as she ran.

Along the way, she forcefully avoided the monsters sent by General Black Python and headed towards Wugong Mountain, which was mentioned by Daoist Yuxu.

This was her first experience in her life, although she didn't know where Master Tianlei of Wugong Mountain was.

But I once heard Kui Ran say that if you keep going northeast, you will arrive at the destination.

Therefore, Shen Anzhi dared not stop along the way.
Suddenly, a strange roar shattered the tranquility of the forest.

A hideous monster lunged at a terrified villager, baring its fangs and claws.

Shen Anzhi's eyes sharpened, and he leaped forward without hesitation.

The sword was drawn from its sheath, its cold light flashing, and it sliced ​​through the air like lightning.

Although this sword lacks the spiritual energy and power of the Jade Flower Sword, it is still worthy of being called an absolute divine weapon in Shen Anzhi's hands.

She was agile and nimble, and engaged in a fierce battle with the monster.

The monster was extremely ferocious and launched attacks continuously, but Shen Anzhi, with his superb martial arts skills and unwavering faith, was not afraid at all.

After all, the ferocious monster in front of them was only a fifth-tier monster.

She sometimes nimbly evaded the monster's attacks, and sometimes launched swift and fierce strikes with sharp sword moves.

After a fierce battle, Anzhi finally found the monster's weakness and stabbed it in the vital spot with his sword.

"Ow..."

With a scream, the monster collapsed to the ground.

The villagers were saved, and his eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration. Looking at Shen Anzhi, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

Shen Anzhi nodded slightly, then picked up the blue-and-white porcelain vase from his waist, a faint smile appearing on his face.

She knew that her mission was still ongoing.
……

The wind whistled in her ears, and Shen Anzhi's long hair fluttered in the wind.

Her figure moved swiftly through the wilderness, like a flash of lightning illuminating the path ahead.

She knew she had caused the trouble, and she had to do her best to complete the mission.

Although Shen Anzhi was confident, his advancement was too rapid. In just a few months, he had reached a level that others could never achieve in a lifetime. Apart from having the title of a nine-coin demon slayer, he had no real experience to speak of.

She could only follow Master Yuxu's instructions and head towards Wugong Mountain, inviting the Ten-Coin Demon Slayer Master Tianlei to help her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xiandu Temple.

The once peaceful and serene Taoist temple was left in a shocking state of devastation after being ravaged by demons.

The gate of the Taoist temple had been smashed to pieces, and broken pieces of wood were scattered on the ground, as if telling the story of the sudden disaster.

The roof of the main hall had several large holes, through which sunlight streamed down, and dust particles danced in the beams of light.

The statue lay fallen to the ground, its body covered in scratches, its majesty gone, leaving only endless desolation.

The walls of the side hall still bear the claw marks left by the monster's attack, the deep marks seemingly reminding people how fierce the battle was.

“Zhu Taiming, you use the talisman to trap him, and I will use the horse-slaying sword to cut him in half at the waist.”

"Alright, Heavenly Spirit of the Underworld, Hongyang, emerge and collect!" "Awooo..."

Inside the main hall of Xiandu Temple, Kui Ran and Zhu Taiming, the Six-Coin Demon-Catching Hermit, slay the last demon that had wreaked havoc on the temple.

The two breathed a long sigh of relief, and Kui Ran picked up the Demon-Supporting Gourd and took a deep sip of strong liquor to calm her nerves.

The two looked at the rickety roof beams, which seemed ready to collapse at any moment.

The air was filled with a putrid and bloody stench that sent chills down one's spine.

At this moment, the entire Taoist temple was silent, with only the occasional breeze blowing through, making a rustling sound as it moved the tattered window paper.

What was once a sacred place for spiritual practice is now a desolate ruin, making one feel a deep sorrow for its fate.

"Fellow Daoist, I still have to rush to Dragon Court Mountain. Take care."

Faced with Zhu Taiming's farewell, Kui Ran said sadly, "Fellow Daoist, this is a calamity for the human world, but also an opportunity for us demon hunters to act on behalf of Heaven. Farewell."

Zhu Taiming nodded, turned around, and walked out of Xiandu Temple.

Zhu Taiming and Kui Ran both appeared at Xiandu Temple with their own missions after the monsters ran rampant. Now that the monsters have been eliminated, the two are busy with their next mission.

Just after Zhu Taiming left Xiandu Temple, Kui Ran noticed that the demon-suppressing gourd at her waist was emitting a dim light, and it was purple.

"Celestial Phenomenon Pendant, Kang Qing!"

Kui Ran looked up in surprise at the entrance of the main hall and looked around. The gourd had sensed the presence of the Celestial Phenomenon Pendant, which was in Kang Qing's hands. So she quickly walked out of the main hall.

"Kang Qing, Kang Qing."

Kui Ran excitedly ran outside, only to find Shen Anzhi looking somewhat disheveled standing at the entrance of the Taoist temple.

Shen Anzhi's face was filled with regret and self-blame.

When she saw Kui Ran standing there dumbfounded in front of her, she didn't dare to raise her head for a long time.

She was afraid to see the sadness and anger in Kui Ran's eyes, and afraid to face her own mistakes.

However, Shen Anzhi now knows that running away is not the solution; she must bravely face everything.

Slowly, Shen Anzhi raised her head and handed the small blue-and-white porcelain vase to Kui Ran. Her voice trembled as she said, "I'm sorry, this is... I... I'm so sorry."

Tears streamed down her cheeks and dripped onto the ground.

Kui Ran silently accepted the blue-and-white porcelain vase, his eyes filled with endless sorrow. Looking at the vase, he seemed to see Kang Qing's figure. His heart was filled with anger, sadness, but above all, longing for Kang Qing.

Shen Anzhi stood aside, quietly waiting for Kui Ran's reprimand.

However, Kui Ran only sighed softly and said, "This is not your fault. Cause and effect have their cycles. This is her tribulation. It's just... Kang Qing, Kang Qing, she, she really..." His voice choked up, and he could no longer continue.

"This is my fault. The Black Python used me and tricked me into unsealing the Wind and Thunder Tower." Shen Anzhi said remorsefully, "I was also used by them. I really didn't know that the Spirit Serpent was the Black Python's primordial spirit. Even the Jade Void Sect Leader didn't realize it."

Kui Ran gave a bitter, faint smile after hearing this. Those involved are often blinded, while bystanders see things clearly. She didn't want to explain anything further.

Kui Ran shook his head and stroked the blue and white porcelain. He didn't want to hear any more of Shen Anzhi's explanations. With tears in his eyes, his mind was filled with the days he spent with Kang Qing in Bitao Garden, Sanqing Mountain, and Jingdezhen...

At that moment, the air seemed to freeze. Shen Anzhi and Kui Ran were both immersed in deep grief. They knew that, no matter what, they could not undo what had already happened.

Kui Ran sat on the threshold of the main hall of the Taoist temple, holding Qinghua, and wept softly.

Shen Anzhi also understood that life had to go on, and he had to bravely face everything.
