Junior Sister is skilled in subduing demons.

Chapter 16 The Blue Trail

Master Yuxu was furious when he received the report that the young people had handled the cat demon matter in such a way.

Inside the main hall of the Sanqing Palace, the five elders received the devastating news before they even returned to their own territory.

"The young people these days are really getting worse with each generation." Elder Shangzun's words made everyone uncomfortable, but they also shared the same feeling.

"Yes, yes, yes." Elder Nie Pan nodded in agreement. "When we were young, we were much better off than this."

Hearing the two elders say this, Fan Jin couldn't help but sigh, "Back then, when our sect leader fought the cat demon, it was a life-or-death battle, sigh." Fan Jin was almost about to express his dissatisfaction with Ke Dasheng.

The one who suffered the most was Elder Taiqing, because his senior brother Ke Dasheng and senior sister Luo Ling were both his disciples. One was in charge of the male disciples and the other was in charge of the female disciples, while he himself was in charge of the executive affairs of the Sanqing Palace, which could also be said to be the executive deputy head of the sect.

Just as the elders were discussing the matter, a disciple came to report: "Reporting to the elders, the sect leader is in seclusion on the twelfth floor tonight and will not be coming. Please discuss this matter and make sure to capture the cat demon as soon as possible to prevent it from escaping down the mountain."

After saying this, the disciple ordered the messenger to leave the hall.

These words were unintentionally a bombshell. First, Elder Nie Pan gave Elder Shangzun a look, and then stood up and said, "I will go back and quickly arrange for people to search the entire mountain. This matter is very troublesome."

After saying that, he left on his own.

Seeing this, Elder Shangzun also stood up and said, "Elder Taiqing, my twelve disciples will immediately go to the main hall to await orders. Please feel free to send them whatever you need. The cat demon is of low level, but it still has four lives. Just say the word, and they will do anything, even die for it."

Faced with such laughter, Elder Taiqing could only awkwardly reply, "Thank you for your support, Venerable Elder."

Watching Shangzun and Nie Pan walk away, Elder Taiqing wished he could unleash a torrent of curses.

After everyone left, Elder Taiqing looked at Elder Fan Jin, who was dozing off to the side and snoring. He cursed inwardly, thinking that it would have been better to just say a few polite words.

Feeling depressed, Elder Taiqing ignored Elder Fan Jin and went straight to the outside of the main hall.

At this moment, Ke Dasheng and Luo Ling had also arrived outside the main hall.

"You two incompetent fools! We've given you the Buddha's whisk, and you still can't subdue a cat demon!" Elder Taiqing reprimanded angrily, but as soon as he finished speaking, he sensed Elder Fan Jin sitting in the main hall, so he suppressed his anger.

"Reporting to the elder, I have already arranged for people to go down and search." Ke Dasheng glanced at Luo Ling.

"Search, search, and more searching. We've been searching for the training ground on the back mountain for seven days and haven't found a single thing. Now that such a big thing has happened, we're still searching." Elder Taiqing couldn't help but say, "Are you trying to make the people in the room laugh at me? Are you trying to show them how useless you are?"

Ke Dasheng and Luo Ling understood Elder Taiqing's feelings. After all, the male and female leaders were his disciples, and others would laugh at him, especially Ke Dasheng, who was highly regarded by the entire mountain.

Elder Taiqing realized his voice was too loud, so he looked around the hall and lowered his voice, saying, "Immediately. Even if you don't sleep, you must find the cat demon tonight. Let's not talk about whether you can capture it or not, you must at least find it."

After speaking, Elder Taiqing looked around the main hall again.

"Whether you can get it or not is a matter of ability. If you can't even find it, tomorrow, Fan Jin and the others will point their fingers at your master and laugh at him. How am I supposed to explain that?" Elder Taiqing said angrily in a low voice.

"This disciple understands." Ke Dasheng could only forcefully reply, "If I can't find it, I... I won't be the senior disciple anymore."

Facing his two incompetent disciples, Elder Taiqing glanced around the main hall and said to Luo Ling, "Arrange for someone to send this pig back to the blessed land. I find it annoying to look at; all it does is sleep and talk nonsense."

Luo Ling glanced sideways at the main hall and saw Fan Jin sitting in a chair, fast asleep. She replied, "Yes."

And so, Ke Dasheng quickly led his men, along with all the demon-hunting artifacts, to search the entire mountain overnight for the cat demon.

Looking at Fan Jin in the main hall, Luo Ling was furious. Shen Anzhi had been there all afternoon, but now he was nowhere to be seen. So she said to her disciple, "Go to the blessed land immediately and call Shen Anzhi here. Immediately, quickly."

"Yes!" The disciple hurriedly relayed the order, startled. After the disciple left, Luo Ling looked at Fan Jin, who was snoring and sleeping in the main hall, and muttered, "Shen Anzhi, Shen Anzhi, you wait. You'll be lucky this afternoon. I'm so angry, so angry."

Meanwhile, in the forest on the other side,
The spirit snake had been leading Anzhi through the forest for a long time. She didn't know where they were. Where there was no path, they made one. They didn't care if they fell or bumped into things. They just got up and kept going.

The serpent was very agile, sometimes floating in the air and sometimes crawling on the ground, but it was faster than Anzhi.

"Snake Baby, where are we going?" Anzhi asked, carrying the heavy Jade Flower Sword on his back and holding the Demon-Binding Rope in his hand.

The Serpent: "We're almost there. We need to go to the Bamboo Forest. The Cat Demon is there."

Anzhi exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? How did you know?"

"Me!" The two antennae on the top of the spirit snake's head spun like radar as it said, "I've been in Sanqing Mountain for hundreds of years. There's no little demon I don't know. Don't worry, I'm sure of it."

"But, but it's almost dawn." Anzhi looked up through the gaps in the trees at the sky. The round moon was already overhead. She asked worriedly, "Can we get back before dawn?"

"Yes!" The serpent continued forward.

Half an hour later,
Anzhi and the spirit snake finally arrived at the spotted bamboo forest.

A spotted bamboo forest is a place where spotted bamboo grows.

Bathed in moonlight, the bamboo grove appeared exceptionally tranquil.

Suddenly, an invisible force surged from the ground, and the bamboo roots began to extend and break through the soil.

Bathed in the soft glow of the moonlight, one can vaguely see the bamboo leaves gradually unfolding, swaying and dancing, as if celebrating a new life.

suddenly,

A blue light flickered deep within the bamboo forest.

Seeing this, the serpent finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Hehe, that's right."

"Blue Light, Blue Cat." Anzhi's nerves also began to tighten, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

The snake leaped onto Anzhi's shoulder, its usual spot, and then continued deeper into the bamboo forest.

As they drew closer, An Zhi could strongly sense the demonic aura emanating from them.

"Master, look, the Demon-Binding Rope has been detected." The spirit snake noticed that the Demon-Binding Rope in Anzhi's hand was also emitting a blue light.

With the Jade Flower Sword on his back and the Demon-Binding Rope in his hand, An Zhi felt instantly safe and secure.

"This afternoon, because everyone was careless and thought it was dead, we dispelled the sword formation, which led to a great disaster." Anzhi replayed the scene from this afternoon in his mind again and again, determined not to make the same mistake tonight.

"Snake Treasure, does the Demon-Binding Rope take time to cast?" Anzhi asked worriedly.

The Serpent said, "Don't worry, once this thing is tied up, it can't escape."

"That's good, that's good." Anzhi excitedly quickened his pace, getting closer and closer to the flashing blue light.
