Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 11: Demon Suppression Army

On the streets of Lin'an city, people were walking in a hurry, without the relaxation of the past.

Most of the pedestrians on the road were also people from the underworld. In the past two days, the demons have become more and more rampant, and the people in the county are in panic, especially after nightfall, the people are terrified.

On the street, a young man in white was walking, leading a white horse. On the horse sat a girl holding a candied haws in her hand, and a middle-aged man followed on the side.

This scene attracted a lot of attention, because the young man leading the horse was extraordinarily handsome, while the girl on the horse was dressed in ordinary clothes and had a dark and thin figure.

"Hey……"

A shout was heard, and Li Fan looked up, and saw a head sticking out from the window on the second floor of the restaurant next to him. It turned out to be the fortune-teller.

"Grandpa Taoist priest." Ah Qi also saw the old Taoist priest and shouted happily.

"It seems that the Taoist priest has cheated a lot of money again." Li Fan looked up at the old Taoist priest and smiled.

"Not much, just enough for a drink." The Taoist priest smiled and said, "Would you like to come up and have a couple of drinks?"

Ah Qi looked at his father. Yang Kui hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master, we have to hurry on our way, so we won't accompany you."

Then he looked at Li Fan again and said, "Brother Xiaofan, I've troubled you to escort us all the way. Let's go on our own from now on."

"Would you like to give me a ride again?" Li Fan asked.

"Brother Xiaofan has troubled me for a long time." Yang Kui is a loyal person. Li Fan has already saved the lives of his father and daughter, so he doesn't want to trouble him anymore.

"Aqi, get down." Yang Kui stretched out his hand to his daughter on horseback.

Ah Qi looked at Li Fan reluctantly, only to see Li Fan smiling and saying, "You are walking too slowly with Ah Qi. This horse is quite fast, and we should be able to leave the city in no time."

He himself didn't care about offending the Chen family, but it would be better for Yang Kui and the others to leave the county.

"Brother Xiaofan..." Yang Kui wanted to say something, but Li Fan waved his hand and said, "Brother Yang, Ah Qi calls me brother, the horse is for her."

Yang Kui glanced at his daughter, then knelt on his knees and kowtowed to Li Fan.

"Brother Yang, you don't have to do this." Li Fan stretched out his hand to pull him up. Yang Kui's eyes were red, and he said, "Brother Xiaofan, I'm afraid it's hard to repay your kindness in this life. If there is an afterlife, I'm willing to be an ox or a horse."

"That's too much." Li Fan said, "Take good care of Ah Qi."

"Yes." Yang Kui nodded heavily and said to Ah Qi: "Ah Qi, say goodbye to Brother Xiaofan."

Ah Qi's eyes were red, and he said reluctantly: "Brother Xiaofan, can Ah Qi come to find you when he grows up?"

"Of course." Li Fan said.

"Aqi, where can I find you?" the girl asked.

"Leave the mountain!" Li Fan said casually, and Yang Kui on the side was filled with turmoil.

Disciple Lishan!

No wonder.

"Leave the mountain." Ah Qi murmured, remembering these two words in his heart, and then smiled and said: "Brother Xiaofan, Ah Qi will definitely find you."

"Okay." Li Fan nodded with a smile.

Yang Kui said nothing more, bowed to Li Fan again, then looked up at the old Taoist: "Master, goodbye."

As he spoke, he also stepped onto the horse's back, hugged Ah Qi, squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and the white horse moved forward.

"Goodbye, Brother Xiaofan." Ah Qi's eyes were red, and he looked up at the window of the restaurant and shouted, "Goodbye, Taoist Grandpa."

On horseback, Ah Qi asked, "Dad, where is Lishan?"

"Lishan is the 'highest' mountain in Dali." Yang Kui said softly as the disciples of Lishan led the horses.

Perhaps, this is the most glorious moment in Ah Qi's life.

"Ah Qi, although we may not have the chance to repay you in this life, you must remember Brother Xiaofan's kindness. Without Brother Xiaofan, Ah Qi and my father would not be in this world."

If Ah Qi was abducted by the monster in the Chen Mansion, then he would die in the Chen family. Their lives were given by Li Fan.

"Dad, I want to practice." Ah Qi said in a childish voice. In the girl's little head, the figure of Li Fan standing in front of her like a god or demon could not be shaken off.

Yang Kui hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said, "Okay."

After the white horse went away, Li Fan came to the restaurant, sat opposite the old Taoist priest, and poured himself a glass of wine.

"Master, do you know me?" Li Fan asked the old Taoist.

"Young man, do you understand my rules?" The old Taoist looked at Li Fan with a smile. Li Fan put a piece of silver in front of the old Taoist, who squinted his eyes and took it.

"I know him, and I don't know him either." The old Taoist replied.

"Why did the Taoist priest appear in Chen's Mansion?" Li Fan asked again.

The old Taoist took a look in front of him, and Li Fan handed over another piece of silver.

"Chance." The old Taoist replied. "What kind of chance?" Is this old man playing dumb?

The old Taoist remained silent. Li Fan took out a whole ingot of silver from his arms and placed it in front of the old Taoist. The old Taoist wanted to reach out to take it, but Li Fan did not let go and asked, "Is that enough?"

"That's enough, young man, feel free to ask." The old Taoist said politely. Li Fan then let go of his hand and looked at the other party.

"I am old now, and I want to find someone to inherit my legacy, and I want to see someone by the way."

"Have you found and seen it?" Li Fan asked.

"I found it and saw it." The Taoist nodded with satisfaction.

"Why do you say that the demon chaos is related to Lishan?" Li Fan continued to ask.

"Listen for yourself." The old Taoist looked inside the restaurant. Li Fan listened attentively and saw that all the martial artists in the restaurant were talking about the chaos of demons.

"Yesterday, a woman went to the government office to report to the police and pointed out Fulong Villa. As expected, several female corpses were found. It's so tragic. This evil beast has been quiet for a few years, but now he has started to stir up trouble again. He is still not satisfied with more than a hundred women for his pleasure."

"So what? This dragon is a great monster with great power. There is even a mountain behind it, so the government dare not touch it."

"Could it be that Li Shan was behind this? Otherwise, how could there be so many demons in Lin'an County?"

'Keep your voice down, or your life will be in danger.'

"What are you afraid of? I heard that the Chen family was also attacked by demons last night. It was too rampant. However, people from all walks of life are gathering in Lin'an County. It's not far from here to slay the demons and dragons."

Li Fan frowned. The widespread appearance of such rumors in the restaurant meant that such news had already spread in Lin'an County.

"You heard it too. This is not what I, the old Taoist, said. No matter what the relationship is, it is inseparable from Lishan." The old Taoist said with a smile.

"So, the Taoist priest was serious about the divination that day?" Li Fan asked. The Taoist priest told him that day that he and the people around him would face a disaster.

"You are doubting the character of this old Taoist priest." The Taoist priest stared at Li Fan.

"Master, are you a good person?" Li Fan took a look at the Taoist's bulging bag, wondering how much silver he had defrauded.

"I earned it through my own ability." The Taoist said indifferently.

Just as the two were talking, the restaurant shook, causing the crowd to be in an uproar.

Li Fan looked towards the distance and saw a group of people coming towards him on the streets of Lin'an County.

As the shaking became stronger and stronger, the people on the street retreated to both sides. A solemn and murderous atmosphere filled the air, and everyone looked towards the approaching figure.

A group of figures in black armor rode on horses, carrying long spears behind them, and everyone was silent.

"It's the Demon-Suppressing Army." The crowd in the restaurant was shocked.

"Such strong energy and blood."

In order to suppress demons, the Dali Dynasty set up the Demon-Slaying Department and the Demon-Suppressing Army.

The Demon-Slaying Division is composed entirely of Qigong practitioners, while the Demon-Suppressing Army is composed of warriors, but their numbers are greater.

A warrior has strong energy and blood, and when he attacks in a military formation, his energy and blood soar into the sky. Ordinary ghosts, demons and evil creatures will be reduced to ashes when they encounter them. If the demon-suppressing army is composed of martial masters, it is even more terrifying.

There were rumors before that the Demon Slaying Division would arrive in Lin'an County, and now the Demon Suppression Army has also arrived. Everyone has smelled an unusual atmosphere, and there is a fear that there will be chaos in Lin'an County.

However, the people around felt relieved after seeing the scene before them. The Demon-Suppressing Army coming from Chuzhou City will definitely be able to suppress the demons.

Li Fan seemed to be worried. Everything that happened in Lin'an County and the old Taoist's words made him feel vaguely that there was a conspiracy shrouding Lishan.

"Someone is looking for you." The old Taoist said to Li Fan. Following the old Taoist's gaze, Li Fan saw a figure riding a black horse appearing in the opposite direction of the Demon-Suppressing Army. Even in front of the Demon-Suppressing Army, the red clothes and beautiful face still attracted attention. It was actually Li Hongyi.

"Looking for me?" Li Fan looked at the old Taoist in confusion, only to see Li Hongyi dodged the Demon-Suppressing Army sideways. She continued to move forward after the Demon-Suppressing Army had passed by. When she looked up, she happened to see Li Fan, and then she dismounted next to the restaurant.

A moment later, Li Hongyi came to the restaurant and walked straight towards Li Fan.

Li Hongyi came to Li Fan, glanced at Li Fan, and then looked at the old Taoist.

The old Taoist stood up tactfully and said with a smile, "I won't disturb you two."

As he said this, he packed up his bag and walked out of the restaurant, shaking his head and sighing.

"Miss Li is looking for me?" Li Fan asked.

Li Hongyi nodded, then sat down opposite Li Fan and said, "I want to apologize to you."

"This matter has nothing to do with you." Li Fan said.

"Since I'm there, I must be related." Li Hongyi said, "Also, I have another piece of news to tell you."

Li Fan looked at the other party, only to see Li Hongyi apologetically saying, "The Chen family has asked the Lin'an County government to arrest you."

Although she knew that Li Fan must have an extraordinary background, it would be troublesome if the government issued an arrest warrant for his capture. Although the Lin'an County government could not do anything to Li Fan, the imperial court was behind it.

Moreover, knowing that Li Fan has a background, the government still wants him. This matter is probably not simple.
