Junior Sister is skilled in subduing demons.

Chapter 87 Worried

Three days later,
After leaving the other world, everyone went their separate ways, and no one knew where anyone else was.
Master Yuxu and Kuiran walked through a forest for two days. Guided by the woodcutter villagers, it took them three days to return to the foot of Sanqing Mountain. Seeing the familiar terrain, they finally felt relieved.

At a teahouse at the foot of the mountain, Master Yuxu and Kuiran sat facing each other, each with a bowl of mixed noodles, followed by a bowl of tea, allowing their tense and heavy minds and bodies to rest for a moment.

"Boss, come on, fill my cup with wine." No matter where he goes, Kui Ran always fills the wine bottle in his demon-carrying gourd.

"Alright, top-quality wine." The shopkeeper took the wine gourd and began filling it with wine.

Seeing that Master Yuxu had also finished his meal, Kui Ran asked, "Master, I have been away from my sect for several months now, and my junior brother Li Longquan has also died in the Dragon Tiger Hall, so I will not go up the mountain with you."

Although Master Yuxu was the sect leader and a Nine-Coin Demon Exorcist, he had never experienced anything significant in his life except for this time when he entered another world, so some scenes were deeply etched in his mind.

"Why don't you go up the mountain and rest for a while? After Yang Wanda returns to his sect, I will arrange for him to go to Wugong Mountain with you and pay a visit to Daoist Tianlei." Daoist Yuxu was a little worried, so he wanted to persuade Kui Ran to stay.

At this moment, Kui Ran had no intention of returning to Wugong Mountain. He was worried about his porcelain baby Kang Qing. They hadn't seen each other for so long, and he guessed that Kang Qing was also extremely worried. His urge to see her was growing stronger and stronger.

Kui Ran: "Daoist Master, no, we'll have a chance to meet again in the future."

Having said that, Master Yuxu could not persuade him to stay any longer. He simply nodded and said with satisfaction, "Truly, the younger generation is to be feared. Your performance in this adventure into another world was also quite good. With continued cultivation, you will surely achieve great things."

"Thank you for your quick praise, Daoist Master. Compared to..." Kui Ran swallowed her words back.

Master Yuxu already knew what Kui Ran wanted to say. He sipped his tea and said, "You mean An Zhi? Hehe, I also find it unbelievable. If it weren't for Senior Brother Fan recommending this woman a few months ago, she would probably have been overlooked."

Seeing Master Yuxu's face full of satisfaction with this female disciple, Kui Ran said with concern, "Master, there is something I don't know if I should say."

"Oh?" Master Yuxu put down his teacup and asked, "Please feel free to speak your concerns."

After a moment of contemplation, Kui Ran said, “I have been with Shen Anzhi since Jiangxin Village. We have shared every experience. Her progress has been so rapid that her abilities are now somewhat mismatched with her rank.”

After speaking, Kui Ran pondered for a moment and continued, "From the moment we captured the river demon in Jiangxin Village, we have been dreaming of our ancestor with the help of the spirit snake. I think this is a bit unusual."

"You mean Meng Hong?" Master Yuxu asked in return.

Kui Ran frowned and nodded: "Yes, it seems to be called Meng Hong."

After listening, Master Yuxu also fell into deep thought.

After taking the gourd of wine from the shopkeeper, Kui Ran took a sip and continued, "Daoist Master, think about it. As demon hunters traveling the world, it's rare to encounter even a demon lord-level monster. But along our journey, not to mention monsters, we've encountered demon lords in droves, and every time we've found them so precisely..."

"According to you, this is indeed unusual." Master Yuxu's face also showed concern.

In fact, Kui Ran's worries were not new. Ever since he and Shen Anzhi went to Sanqing Mountain and entered the Dragon Tiger Hall for the first time, he felt that there must be a secret about Shen Anzhi, but he had no evidence, so he could only follow along.

"Ah... Meng Hong was our first sect leader. He started from scratch as an unknown disciple and founded the Sanqing Sect. For thousands of years, his deeds have indeed inspired generations of Sanqing people to strive for excellence," commented Daoist Yuxu.

Kui Ran: "But as the sect leader, don't you know there's a way to see the patriarch?"

Master Yuxu shook his head.

Seeing that Master Yuxu was lost in thought and did not speak, Kui Ran continued, "Master, she killed Tianhuang, a ninth-level demon lord of the Demon Spirit Platform. I can hardly believe that she could do it. A ninth-level demon lord, I didn't even dare to think about it, but she did it."

Although Master Yuxu remained calm, suspicion had already arisen in his heart. "Kui Ran, I will investigate the matter you mentioned today as soon as possible. Since you insist on leaving, I will not keep you. Please give my regards to Master Tianlei when you return." After saying this, Master Yuxu got up and prepared to go up the mountain.

Kui Ran bowed and said in farewell, "Daoist Master, until we meet again!"

Master Yuxu nodded and turned to walk towards Sanqing Mountain.

Seeing that Master Yuxu had also left, Kui Ran became excited, and his desire to see Kang Qing immediately filled him with joy.

He flicked his finger and unleashed a burst of light at the speed of light; the location indicated by the celestial pendant was the ancient kiln site in Jingdezhen.

So he opened the gourd and took another deep sip before happily setting off, already having more than thirty ways to meet her in his mind...

However, Master Yuxu was not so happy after listening to Kui Ran's analysis. He hadn't paid attention to this matter at first, but after Kui Ran's reminder today, he really started to worry.

Sanqing Palace.

Yang Wanda and his disciples surrounded the incense burner, where the rising true energy swayed back and forth.

Yang Wanda returned to the Sanqing Palace a day after Master Yuxu, and immediately discovered that the true energy of the Three Pure Ones seemed to be leaking.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, the Sect Leader is back! The Sect Leader is back!"

Upon hearing the sound, Yang Wanda led his disciples to the outside of the Sanqing Hall to greet them.

"Sect Leader, Sect Leader, something terrible has happened! The Three Pure Ones' True Qi is leaking!" Yang Wanda quickly reported.

This greatly frightened Master Yuxu. The Three Pure Ones' True Qi is the soul of Sanqing Mountain. If the Three Pure Ones' True Qi is leaking, it means that Sanqing Mountain is being eroded by some kind of dark force, and this force is extremely powerful.

If this is not stopped, Sanqingshan will face a catastrophe.

With a wave of his long sleeves, Master Yuxu arrived at the Sanqing Hall, where the true energy above the incense burner was continuously spreading outwards.

Master Yuxu concentrated his mind, focusing his consciousness into the incense burner, attempting to find the source of the leaking true energy. As he cast his spell, the surrounding air seemed to become heavy, and an invisible pressure spread out.

His hand seals changed faster and faster, and his incantations became more and more urgent. Mysterious runes appeared around the incense burner, shimmering with strange light, as if forming a solid barrier to prevent the true energy from leaking out further.

"I've only sealed it off temporarily. Yang Wanda, you quickly lead people to find the cause." After saying this, Master Yuxu looked at the elders who were watching the commotion and said, "Fellow disciples, the leakage of true energy may bring a great calamity to the Three Pure Ones."

Elder Taiqing was the first to stand up, cup his hands, and said, "Senior brother, just tell me what you need."

After saying that, he led his men out of the main hall, followed closely by the other two elders.

Seeing this, Master Yuxu could only shake his head and ask Yang Wanda, "Wanda, has Shen Anzhi returned?"

Yang Wanda cupped his hands and reported, "Not yet, I have already arranged for people to search."

After answering, Yang Wanda asked in return, "Sect Leader, Shen Anzhi's killing of a ninth-level demon lord in another world this time has truly brought honor to our Sanqing Palace. Her deeds are widely known in the footsteps of the mountain."

Master Yuxu frowned and stared at Yang Wanda for a long time before saying, "Wanda, remember this, this is very unusual."

"This is unusual!" Yang Wanda exclaimed, puzzled.
