Junior Sister is skilled in subduing demons.

Chapter 63 I'm about to advance!

Azalea Valley, Tengwang Temple.

After the battle, all around was deathly silent, with only the occasional cry of an owl echoing through the quiet forest like the wailing of a ghost.

A gentle breeze rustled through the branches, like a monster whispering in the darkness, plotting how to devour any creature that had strayed into this place.

Luo Ling was only a five-coin demon hunter, still on the path to six coins, and had never experienced a battle that only demon hunters with eight coins or more could handle.

The serpent looked around and said softly, "Master, our only option now is to go through the temple cave."

"Hole?"

Luo Ling and Shen Anzhi looked at each other.

The serpent said, "There is a temple cave to the left of the Tengwang Temple that leads directly to the Ferry Bridge Cave in the Azalea Valley. We will be safe then."

"Okay, okay, hurry up, let's go, let's go." Luo Ling seemed eager to leave.

"Snake Treasure, are you sure?" Shen Anzhi was a little worried, after all, this demon was too powerful.

This question made Luo Ling, who had no doubts before, stop and hesitate.

The serpent reiterated, "Master, rest assured, when have I ever lied to you along the way?"

"Alright then." Shen Anzhi trusted the spirit snake just as much as he trusted his ancestor Meng Hong.

The two tiptoed to the cave of the Tengwang Temple.

It was damp and the entrance to the cave was covered with weeds. Without thinking, Luo Ling jumped in and groped her way forward in the darkness, glancing back every now and then to see if Shen Anzhi was following. But he was nowhere to be seen, and the entrance to the cave was too dark to be seen.

Filled with fear, Luo Ling could only stumble and fall as she walked deeper into the temple cave.

Shen Anzhi, who was outside, saw Luo Ling go down and was about to jump down as well, but was stopped by the spirit snake.

"Master, quick, don't go down!" The spirit snake noticed a pair of eyes watching them from afar.

Shen Anzhi looked in the direction of the spirit snake and, sure enough, two pairs of green eyes were swimming in the distant woods. Their every move was being remotely monitored by the sparrow demon, who was just waiting for them to take the bait.

"This way."

The serpent turned and ran off in another direction with Anzhi.

Inside the cave, Luo Ling kept looking back but didn't notice Shen Anzhi following her.

"Shen Anzhi? Shen Anzhi? Are you there?" Luo Ling heard no echo in the pitch-black temple cave, which only fueled her growing fear. She gripped the whip tightly, her voice trembling. "Anzhi? You, you're not scaring me, Shen Anzhi?"

No matter how much Luo Ling called out, she couldn't hear Shen Anzhi's voice, so she could only keep moving forward.

at last,

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Luo Ling felt a cool breeze on her face, indicating that she was not far from the cave entrance.

With hope just ahead, Luo Ling quickened her pace.

In this pitch-black forest, it was impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face. The road ahead was shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to discern directions, as if every step might lead to unknown dangers.

Luo Ling quickly climbed out of the cave and looked at the outlines of the trees outside, feeling a great sense of relief.

But what she didn't know was that right above her head, a large bird was waiting. It was the primordial spirit of the sparrow demon. When it saw Luo Ling crawl out of the cave, the sparrow demon drooled.

Just a moment ago, Luo Ling felt a sense of relief, but then she smelled a very strong demonic aura. She slowly raised her head in terror… “Ah!”

With a scream, Luo Ling stood at the cave entrance again, looking satisfied as she examined her entire outfit. She muttered, "Oh, I've finally found a decent-looking body, and it's got quite a lot of resentment."

Just now, the sparrow demon took a liking to Luo Ling's body, and after absorbing her spiritual power, it possessed her.

"Hahahaha, hahahahaha." The sparrow demon Luo Ling flew away instantly, leaving behind a long whip and two magical artifacts on the ground.

Shen Anzhi was also very nervous at this moment. It was the first time she had encountered such a thing, and all her companions who had traveled with her had died. Although the spirit snake was leading the way, her legs were still weak, and she sat down on the ground after walking for a short while.

The serpent sensed Shen Anzhi's fear and used its Dreamscape ability just as Shen Anzhi was about to rest.

In my dream, the demon slayer Meng Hong, who costs ten coins, appeared...
At dawn, the first rays of sunlight pierced through the thin mist, illuminating the peaks of Rhododendron Valley. The rolling mountains, like giants just awakened, stretched out their languid bodies. The trees on the mountains were lush and green, their verdant leaves edged with gold by the sunlight. A gentle breeze stirred, causing them to shimmer with light, like scattered gold dust from nature.

In the middle of the courtyard of Tengwang Temple, Ke Dasheng sat cross-legged. The golden aura around him shone even brighter in the morning sunlight. In stark contrast, a layer of dark clouds covered the bright red aura, seemingly slowly swallowing it up.

Meanwhile, in the Panluo Cave in Azalea Valley, the sparrow demon possessed Luo Ling's body and slowly absorbed the spiritual energy of all the demon hunters from the previous night.

“Ah…”

As that spiritual energy was transformed into a demon spirit, the Sparrow Demon clearly felt the activity of the demon spirit within its body, and was getting closer and closer to its ideal demon lord level.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!" Little Demon clapped her hands in delight.

The sparrow demon nodded with great enjoyment and said, "This is the correct way for demon cultivators, hahaha. Relying on true cultivation is so slow, and you might even get wiped out by these demon hunters. Demon hunters kill demons, and I, the demon hunter, kill the demon hunters, hahaha, hahaha."

After saying that, the sparrow demon stretched out his right hand and struck a pill-refining furnace with a palm strike. The flames were blazing.

"Come on, put all the demon hunters we caught last night into the furnace to temper and refine them. We need to extract all the spiritual power from their bodies. I'm about to begin the transformation." After saying that, the Sparrow Demon once again admired Luo Ling's skin.

The sparrow demon sensed that although it had taken over Luo Ling's body, Luo Ling's spiritual power still existed, and there seemed to be a slight resistance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The events in Azalea Valley were intense, but Kuiran in Peach Blossom Spring was enduring torment.

Knowing full well that his companions were about to face a great calamity, he was unable to escape the Peach Blossom Spring, which was protected by the Peach Immortal Lord's barrier.

Despite two days of effort, Kui Ran still couldn't find the exit to Bitaoyuan.

The peach blossom forest in Bitaoyuan is like a maze, and it seems like you can never get out.

"Waaaaah, please let me out, Kang Qing, I beg you." Kui Ran had already broken down. He seemed to have given up resisting. He sat under the peach tree, drinking the wine from his gourd, and pleaded, "I have to save them."

Kang Qing's long hair cascaded down to her waist like a black waterfall, adorned with a few fresh peach blossoms. A gentle breeze blew, and her hair and petals swayed softly together, releasing a captivating fragrance.

She actually seemed quite helpless. She knew how powerful the Sparrow Demon was. Even if Kui Ran went out, she would only increase the Sparrow Demon's spiritual power for transforming demon spirits. Although Kui Ran was in pain, she had to do it.

"I know you care about me and don't want me to go and die, but I can't just stand by and watch them die."

“You hate them, but I hate them just as much. My master once taught me that even demon hunters must have a compassionate heart.”

"woo woo woo woo……"

Looking at Kui Ran, who was crying like a child, Kang Qing looked at the fluttering peach blossoms and said sadly, "Your pain now is the same as my pain back then, watching helplessly as my sisters were killed."

“I don’t know what justice or evil is. I only know that you saved us, so this is the only way I can save you. The Sparrow Demon is too powerful. If you go there, you will only be buried with it. I hope you understand me,” Kang Qing said as he walked to Kui Ran’s side.
