Junior Sister is skilled in subduing demons.

Chapter 72 A Sense of Intimacy
Sunlight streamed down the path of Sanqing Mountain as the dashing Shen Anzhi returned to the mountain gate. She wore a simple white dress, a black pet pouch tied around her waist with the Jade Flower Sword hanging from it, her long hair tied up high, and her eyes revealed determination and courage.

Kui Ran behind him appeared somewhat unrestrained. He carried a horse-slaying saber on his shoulder and occasionally swung it to cut down tree branches by the roadside. The wine gourd at his waist swung back and forth as he walked, and it was clear that it was empty of wine.

Upon arriving at the mountain gate, Shen Anzhi sensed a hint of despondency.

The disciple guarding the mountain gate has been killed, his body devoured by demonic spirits, and the Daoist master beside the mountain gate has been knocked to the ground.

"Oh no, we're too late." Kui Ran frowned as she looked at the claw marks on the mountain gate, knowing they belonged to the sparrow demon.

Shen Anzhi quickened his pace up the mountain...

At this time, the Sanqing Palace was holding a grand meeting to hunt down the sparrow demon. Master Yuxu had gathered the palace guards to discuss the matter when a disciple suddenly reported that Shen Anzhi, who had gone down the mountain for training, had returned. This made Master Yuxu wary.

soon.

Shen Anzhi led Kui Ran through the gates of the Sanqing Palace and bowed, saying, "Disciple of the Sanqing Palace greets Sect Leader Yuxu."

Master Yuxu, the sect leader, had never actually met Shen Anzhi. It was Elder Fan Jin who approached him and strongly recommended this talented young fairy to go down the mountain for training, which led to what happened later.

Although Master Yuxu was highly skilled and noticed Kui Ran carrying the horse-slaying sword behind An Zhi, he still cautiously used his spiritual power to secretly probe her, since the Sparrow Demon had already advanced to the Demon Venerable level and was capable of transforming into anything.

"Sect Leader, Sect Leader?" An Zhi reminded him when he saw that Daoist Yu Xu did not speak, "Sect Leader, is it the Sparrow Demon...?"

Once it was confirmed that it was indeed Shen Anzhi, Master Yuxu nodded and said, "The Sparrow Demon has advanced to the Demon Venerable level and has entered the mountain."

"Reporting to the sect leader, we fought them in Azalea Valley. Senior Brother and Senior Sister Luo..." Anzhi didn't know how to continue.

The Jade Void Sect Leader nodded regretfully: "I already know all of this."

Just then, several disciples rushed in from outside. Leading them was Yang Wanda. As soon as he arrived at the main hall, he slowed down, seemingly focusing all his attention on An Zhi and Kui Ran.

"Sect Leader, my fellow disciples and I discovered the Sparrow Demon on Jade Capital Peak. We just organized a group to use the Demon-Locking Formation to deal with her, but she still escaped." After saying that, Yang Wanda directly asked for instructions: "Please give the Jade Void Buddha Dust to your disciple, Sect Leader."

Daoist Yuxu waved his hand, and a whisk appeared out of thin air: "Wanda, now that you are the senior disciple of the Sanqing Palace, you must make something of yourself. Although this is a tribulation for the Sanqing Palace, it is also your opportunity."

Senior Brother!
Anzhi's eyes involuntarily met Kuiran's, and he immediately understood what was going on.

"This disciple will certainly not fail in his mission." Yang Wanda took the whisk and turned to leave with a determined look.

After Yang Wanda left, Master Yuxu turned his attention to Kui Ran.

"Swordsman, you wield a horse-slaying sword, you come from Wugong Mountain," Master Yuxu blurted out.

Before Kui Ran left Wugong Mountain, his master Tian Lei had told him that he must visit Master Yu Xu at Sanqing Mountain if he had the chance. Today, he finally fulfilled his wish: "Kui Ran from Wugong Mountain, on behalf of his master Tian Lei, sends his greetings to Senior Yu Xu."

Seeing the promising young man, Yu Xu nodded and said, "The last time I visited Wugong Mountain was thirty years ago. At that time, I fought against the ancient demon Fuzhu in another world with Tian Binglie, the Nine Coins Demon Exorcist of Wugong Mountain."

"Uncle-Master Tian Binglie, alas, he's grown old now," Kui Ran said with some regret.

Master Yuxu chuckled and shook his head: "Yes, time waits for no one..."

……

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Master Yuxu suddenly turned his gaze to Anzhi. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Anzhi, you should go back to the blessed land soon. Senior Brother Fan is waiting for you."

"Sect Leader, no rush. We need to deal with the Sparrow Demon first, otherwise this guy is in big trouble now." Shen Anzhi returned to the mountain a few days early mainly for the Sparrow Demon. As for meeting Fan Jin, it didn't matter if it was later, since his fellow disciples were still fighting the Sparrow Demon.

Master Yuxu finally made up his mind to tell her the truth: "Brother Fan has been killed by the Sparrow Demon. He left his primordial spirit in the Three Pure Lands, waiting for you. You..." "Disciple takes his leave!" Before Master Yuxu could finish speaking, Anzhi's nose tingled and she ran towards the main hall.

Death is not scary; what is scary is losing the people who love you.

Upon hearing that Fan Jin had been killed by the sparrow demon, Anzhi felt a lump in his throat and ran while tears streamed down his face, wishing he could get to the blessed land immediately.

"Uncle-Master, Uncle-Master!"

With two shouts, Anzhi pushed open the stone gate of the Sanqing Blessed Land.

The courtyard is still the same courtyard, the fishpond is still the same fishpond, and the firewood piled up beside it is the same firewood that Anzhi chopped back then.

"Uncle-Master, Uncle-Master."

Shen Anzhi hurried towards Fan Jin's residence, but after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find Fan Jin's spirit. She stared blankly at the fishpond in the courtyard, and the scene of Fan Jin asking her to change the water in the fishpond began to appear in her mind.

Suddenly, a strange light emanated from the rattan chair in the courtyard, and within the light, a familiar figure gradually emerged.

Anzhi looked closely and saw that the figure was Fan Jin lying on the rattan chair. Fan Jin's spirit radiated a soft glow, his face still kind and dignified. Anzhi's eyes instantly welled up with tears, her lips trembled, but she couldn't utter a word.

Fan Jin's spirit smiled at her, his eyes filled with love and expectation. Anzhi slowly knelt beside the rattan chair, as if time had stood still at that moment. Anzhi had a thousand words she wanted to say, but her throat felt as if something was blocking it.

Fan Jin gently raised his hand, signaling Anzhi not to be sad. His voice rang in the heroine's mind, like a clear spring flowing: "Anzhi, don't be sad. Life and death are predestined. Now that you've returned safely, your martial aunt can rest easy."

Anzhi forced back her tears and nodded: "No, Uncle-Master, Anzhi was wrong, wrong."

Fan Jin stroked An Zhi's head with his almost transparent hand and said softly, "An Zhi, the road ahead depends on yourself. Keep your sights on your goals and don't relax. You will definitely succeed."

Anzhi didn't know what to say, tears welled up in her eyes, and her mind went blank.

In Shen Anzhi's life, this was the first person to truly treat her well, without exception.

"If you want to cultivate in the future, your master suggests that you go to the Sichuan and Chongqing region. It is a land of outstanding people and abundant resources, a holy land for cultivators from all walks of life."

"After I leave, Yu Hua Sword will soon leave with my uncle, but my uncle has poured all his spiritual power into it, so it can last until you eliminate the Sparrow Demon."

"No matter what you encounter or what setbacks you face in the future, you must be strong..."

Fan Jin began to impart some secrets of cultivation and the true meaning of life to Anzhi, and every word struck her heart like a heavy hammer.

under the setting sun,
Fan Jin's spirit gradually became transparent. An Zhi tried to reach out and grab it, but could only watch helplessly as Fan Jin slowly disappeared into the light. She knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, and kowtowed heavily several times to the empty rattan chair.

In my mind, the image of the First Elder of the Sanqing Palace showing love and care for the little fairy kept flashing through my mind...

Secretly deliver medicine to the injured Anzhi.

They turned a blind eye to the theft of demons at the training ground behind Anshan Mountain.

In response to Luo Ling's revenge, he arranged for people to block the dog hole leading from Fudi to the back mountain.
To help Anzhi improve, he didn't hesitate to give away his own Jade Flower Sword.

To allow An to go down the mountain for training, he took the initiative to find Master Yuxu and patiently talked to him all night.

There are just too many...
