Junior Sister is skilled in subduing demons.

Chapter 18 finally reveals the truth.

"A master has come to our Sanqing Mountain and killed the cat demon last night."

"Huh? No way, didn't Senior Sister Luo say this morning that she was killed by Senior Brother Ke?"

"Bullshit, I was there last night, and I was already wiped out when I arrived."

"Is it the one who exterminated the demon spirit at the training ground in the back mountain last time? We still haven't caught him."

"I guess it's because this person is too powerful. With so many lives, the demon cat could be wiped out in a minute."

……

Outside the main hall of Sanqing Palace, several disciples gathered under a large tree outside the hall, waiting to be summoned.

At this moment, the sect leader and elders were dealing with the events of the previous night when Anzhi, acting on Fan Jin's orders, came to deliver the "Demon Subduing Record".

As soon as Anzhi stepped out the door, he heard his fellow disciples discussing what happened last night. They were making the story sound incredibly fantastical, claiming that a powerful demon hunter had come to Sanqing Mountain to challenge them, and the story was quite outrageous.

"Hehehe!" An Zhi couldn't help but laugh and quickened his pace.

Just as they were about to descend the mountain, Anzhi suddenly became unhappy. He saw Luo Ling striding angrily toward them with a whip in her hand, followed by three female disciples. Judging from their expressions, they seemed to have been scolded again.

Anzhi didn't even want to see this woman's face and wanted to avoid her, but there was only one way down the mountain.

There was no other way but to grit my teeth and move forward.

"Shen Anzhi." Luo Ling's eyes were sharp: "Why aren't you taking care of the old man in the blessed land? What are you doing here?"

That was a really poor question. Anzhi rolled her eyes at her but still gave her face and bowed, saying, "Senior Sister, Uncle Fan asked me to deliver something. It's nothing else, I'm going back now."

After saying that, Anzhi turned to leave.

"Stop." Luo Ling was already in a bad mood, and seeing that An Zhi was still unruly, she blocked his way and said, "I'll repeat myself, don't think that just because we're in the blessed land I can't control you. From now on, you're only allowed in the blessed land."

Luo Ling's tone was very unfriendly, a direct and blatant threat.

"Are you trying to cause trouble?" An Zhi asked abruptly.

In Luo Ling's opinion, she wasn't afraid of An Zhi getting angry, but rather of him suddenly looking down on her. So she said even more angrily, "Heh, me looking for trouble? Why would I bother arguing with someone as unqualified as you who's only fit to serve old men?"

"You!" An Zhi was so angry he almost vomited blood, and he was speechless for a long time.

Seeing that Anzhi was so angry that he was speechless, Luo Ling became even more smug: "You can forget about participating in such a wonderful battle last night. Go back and serve old man Fan properly, hahahaha."

"Hmph, so exciting? We don't even know who killed that cat demon, yet you have the nerve to say that." Anzhi had found the right topic; she knew Luo Ling was extremely concerned about saving face.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Senior Brother Ke destroyed it with his Buddhist whisk." After saying this, Luo Ling suddenly felt that she had lost her confidence.

An Zhi smiled faintly after hearing this: "Hehe, keep making things up, keep going..."

Faced with Anzhi's provocation, he immediately felt embarrassed in front of his three junior sisters: "Shen Anzhi, you just wait."

After saying that, Luo Ling led the three of them quickly toward the main hall, since the elders were still waiting.

Walking on the paths of Sanqing Mountain,

Once Anzhi calmed down, she was in an exceptionally good mood and even stood on Longxingtai to watch the setting sun.

Thinking that she had already collected a total of eight demon seals, and after the spiritual power transformation, she would become a true five-coin demon hunter, she felt that all the grievances were worthwhile, at least the future was promising.

With light steps, she meandered along several paths and returned to her blessed land.

But as soon as they arrived at the blessed land, they realized something was wrong.

Fan Jin stood quietly under a peach tree, leaning on his cane, while on a stone stool beside him, a spirit snake was enveloped in a layer of golden light. Things weren't so simple. Anzhi glanced at the spirit snake curled up on the stone stool.

"You're back!" Fan Jin slowly turned around.

"Master, Uncle-Master, the items have been delivered." Anzhi said, his eyes never leaving the spirit snake.

Fan Jin, leaning on his cane, slowly walked to the rattan chair and sat down without saying a word.

hissing...

The snake looked exhausted; it failed to stand up and flick its tongue twice.

"Snake treasure, snake treasure." An stepped forward to grab the spirit snake, but he couldn't break through the golden light barrier.

“It is an evil spirit.” Fan Jin sighed after saying this. “The Sanqing Blessed Land is where the true energy of Sanqing Mountain is located. No demon spirit can actually get close to it, but this snake was able to hide in the blessed land without being discovered, even though it was above the true energy of Sanqing.”

After hearing this, Anzhi was stunned for a few seconds and then knelt down on the ground with a thud, her eyes red.

This action caught Fan Jin completely off guard. He was so surprised that he stood up, not expecting Anzhi to kneel down.

But Fan Jin quickly calmed down and slowly sat down in the rattan chair.

“I know you’re good to me. You know everything I’ve done. When I was injured by the demon, you brought me medicine. When I wanted to advance, you deliberately threw the Jade Flower Sword at me.” Anzhi finished speaking and tears streamed down her face. “In the past year, I’ve been bullied and tricked by others on the mountain. Only you and Snake Treasure have been good to me.”

Anzhi is right. Her current achievements are inseparable from Fan Jin. Fan Jin turned a blind eye to her affairs and even hinted at them at times, all for her sake.

“Last time, you made me chop wood all night. Actually, you were protecting me because you knew that Elder Taiqing had led a group to ambush me at the training ground in the back mountain, just waiting for me to take the bait.” Anzhi didn’t want the spirit snake to get hurt, and felt that he should be completely open with those who were good to him: “Last night, in the bamboo forest, it was Snake Treasure who helped me kill the cat demon. We had a total of eight demon seals.”

After saying that, Anzhi took out eight monster seals from his pocket, placed them on the ground, and continued, "I haven't transformed any of them yet."

Fan Jin looked at the child in front of him, whose eyes were red and who was crying softly. He immediately got up and helped the child up, saying, "I didn't mean to blame you. If I wanted to blame you, I would have imprisoned you in this blessed land long ago."

“I know.” Anzhi wiped away his tears and snot and continued, “The Jade Flower Sword recognizes its master. When I took the sword, I was almost frozen to death, but you appeared in my mind. The Jade Flower Sword knew that you accepted me, so it accepted me in return.”

"Alas!" Fan Jin sighed helplessly after hearing this, "I never expected that you would turn the entire Sanqing Mountain upside down. Today, the sect leader was furious and severely reprimanded Ke Dasheng and Elder Shangqing."

"Thank you, and thank you Snake Baby too." After saying that, Anzhi knelt on the ground again and kowtowed, saying, "Uncle-Master, please let it go. It has not done anything immoral."

Fan Jin's gaze returned to the sealed spirit snake on the stone pier, his mind filled with a million questions.

The Sanqing Blessed Land is the location of the true energy dragon vein of Sanqing Mountain, and no demon spirit can enter it. Even a demon lord who has cultivated for thousands of years must retreat in the face of the powerful true energy of the Sanqing Blessed Land. However, this spirit snake can enter the blessed land as if it were an empty place.

More importantly, Fan Jin thought that An Zhi's current success was entirely due to herself and his help, but he only realized last night that the spirit snake had also played a crucial role in An Zhi's achievements.

"Uncle-Master." Seeing that Fan Jin did not express his opinion, An Zhi pleaded again, "Waaah, I can't live without it, just like I can't live without you."

Anzhi was very sad. Indeed, if Fan Jin had killed the spirit snake, and Fan Jin was no longer able to walk in a few years, what would become of him when he faced such a huge pit as the Sanqing Palace?

"Get up quickly."

After Fan Jin finished speaking, he focused his powerful spiritual energy into his finger and exerted it on the stone pillar. The golden light shield covering the spirit snake disappeared instantly.

"Snake Baby, Snake Baby." Anzhi held the spirit snake in his palm, tears falling drop by drop onto the snake's body.

The two antennae on the head of the spirit snake, which had been almost dried out by the sun, began to turn: "Hehe, don't be sad, I'm fine."

Upon hearing the snake speak, Anzhi excitedly kissed it.

"Waaah, Uncle-Master, thank you, thank you so much, Uncle-Master!" Anzhi kept expressing his gratitude.
