This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Zhong Bai scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered the figures lurking around him, ready to pounce.

However, they are all just ordinary people, and Zhong Bai only needs to remind Commander Zuo.

As soon as Zhong Bai finished speaking, Zuo Qianhu's nerves tightened instantly.

His eyes, which had been slightly closed, were wide open as he sensed everything around him, while he gripped the long sword tightly in his hand.

"Who dares to trespass?"

After shouting at the surrounding night, Commander Zuo took out several throwing darts and, without hesitation, shot them into the night in front of him. With a whooshing sound and the crisp sound of metal colliding, torches gradually lit up in the originally empty night.

Immediately afterwards, a sword light pierced towards Zuo Qianhu's brow.

The person who arrived was none other than Fu Qingfeng!
In the blink of an eye, Zuo Qianhu merely slashed down with his longsword, and a terrifying blade of light forced Fu Qingfeng to retreat.

"Yuechi, save Father!"

After Fu Qingfeng uttered these words into the darkness, he stepped forward again to try and entangle Zuo Qianhu. Meanwhile, Fu Yuechi and his men took the opportunity to quickly reach the prison cart. With a flash of sword light, the prison cart was split in two. Zhong Bai and Mo Ling watched the whole thing, but they did not make any move. They simply watched quietly as the newcomers hijacked the prison cart and rescued Fu Tianchou.

Upon seeing the prison cart open, the previously dormant killing intent of Commander Zuo became apparent.

With a swing of his longsword, even though Fu Qingfeng had already used his sword to block, he was still blasted more than ten meters away by the terrifying force.

He landed on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth, clearly indicating internal injuries.

The sudden turn of events startled Fu Yuechi, who was rescuing her father, and she then drew her sword and charged towards Commander Zuo.

Just then, Mo Ling, who had been calmly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, opened her eyes.

In an instant, everyone around them stopped moving.

"Stop making such a racket! I'm on my way to the capital to kill a great demon, not to watch you mortals fight to the death. Commander Zuo, he's just a prisoner. Either send him away with one stroke, or let these people take him away."

how is it? "

After Mo Ling finished speaking, Zuo Qianhu, who had originally wanted to draw his sword, regained his composure. He could follow the rules of the court when dealing with ordinary people, but since the fairy Mo Ling had spoken, Zuo Qianhu could only sheathe his sword.

He then bowed deeply to Mo Ling.

"The fairy is right!"

After speaking, Zuo Qianhu looked at Fu Yuechi, who was helping Fu Qingfeng to his feet, and then glanced at Fu Tianchou, who had been rescued.

“Lord Fu, according to court regulations, I cannot allow you to leave. However, since the fairy has spoken, I can forgive and forget what happened today, but…”

"I hope that Lord Fu and the other two will never be seen by me again, otherwise this prison break will definitely come to a head!"

Zuo Qianhu chose to let Fu Tianchou and his daughter leave. Although the other party had intercepted the prison cart, Fu Tianchou's crime did not warrant death. The court only ordered him to escort him to the capital. The biggest problem now was not Fu Tianchou as the Minister of War, but whether the officials in the capital had really been devoured by the centipede demon. If so, what did Fu Tianchou matter?
Faced with Zuo Qianhu's leniency, Fu Tianchou was clearly stunned, but seeing the nervous and happy expressions on his two daughters' faces, he ultimately decided not to continue being escorted to the capital.

"Commander Zuo, I understand. Thank you for showing mercy!"

"No need to thank me, Zuo. If it weren't for the fairy's intervention, you and your daughter would both be dead here!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Tianchou immediately bowed in the direction where Mo Ling and Zhong Bai were.

Unfortunately, neither Zhong Bai nor Mo Ling made any statement.

Zhong Bai, who was refining the essence of a demon beast, slowly opened his eyes. Upon seeing the scene before him, he couldn't help but frown slightly. How tedious!

"Commander Zuo, continue towards the capital!"

As soon as Zhong Bai spoke with a somewhat commanding tone, Zuo Qianhu nodded, mounted his horse, gave a few instructions to the Jinyiwei brothers who were escorting him to return the way they came, and then spurred his horse into a gallop.

Zhong Bai and Mo Ling followed steadily above them and soon arrived at Zhengqi Manor.

......................................................

Righteousness Manor was bustling with activity at this moment. Talismans flew out one after another, and explosions rang out. Accompanied by a terrifying aura of death, Zhong Bai had not yet made any move when Mo Ling's spirit sword was already unsheathed.

Inside the villa.

Zhi Qiu Yi Ye looked at the flying zombie in front of him with a sense of helplessness. In theory, his magical abilities should not be a problem to deal with such a flying zombie, but unfortunately, the flying zombie's ability was earth escape, which was the only magical ability Zhi Qiu Yi Ye currently knew. Therefore, he was limited in many ways and had been forced to his limit by this flying zombie. "Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning Command, Move the Mountain!"

As Zhi Qiu Yi Ye chanted an incantation, the ground beneath the flying zombie suddenly tore apart. The flying zombie wasn't stupid; it simply hovered in the air. Just then, the two sides of the torn ground suddenly bulged out dozens of meters, closing together with a loud boom. The powerful compression made the flying zombie roar. However, Zhi Qiu Yi Ye clearly understood that this flying zombie knew earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic/technique). A talisman flew out from her hand and landed on the flying zombie, temporarily stopping its struggle.

"That was close, thankfully the immobilization talisman had some effect."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the flying zombie, which had been frozen in place, suddenly roared, and the corpse energy within its body surged into the sky. In an instant, the immobilization talisman spontaneously combusted without any fire.

"I rely on!"

Zhi Qiu Yi Ye's expression turned grim. As a cultivator who had just entered the early stage of the Golden Core realm, he was really struggling to deal with such a flying zombie. Just as Zhi Qiu Yi Ye was about to continue using talismans to restrain the flying zombie, with a whoosh, a sword light pierced through the chest of the flying zombie that was rushing towards him from behind.

In an instant, the flying zombie, which had been ferocious and terrifying just a second ago, quickly leaked its corpse energy. Just as the sword light was about to fall again, a three-colored flame surged from behind Zhi Qiu Yi Ye and slammed into the flying zombie's body. In an instant, flames soared into the sky, and the flying zombie fell to the ground and turned to ashes in no time.

Zhi Qiu Yiye was somewhat bewildered.

His divine sense swept across the surroundings, but he only found a martial artist with relatively abundant qi and blood. As for the owner of the sword light and flames, Zhi Qiu Yi Ye could not detect them at all.

Da da da……

Light footsteps approached slowly. Zhi Qiu Yi Ye suddenly perked up, looked up, and saw a woman in a purple dress holding a jet-black spirit sword as she entered the manor.

With just one glance, Zhi Qiu Yiye felt a deep-seated fear arise.

Looking at the spirit sword again, Zhi Qiu Yi Ye instantly realized that the owner of the sword light just now was this woman. Taking a deep breath, Zhi Qiu Yi Ye bowed and said, "I am Zhi Qiu Yi Ye, a junior of the Kunlun Sect. I thank you for your help just now!"

Although I'm not entirely sure of the purple-clad woman's cultivation level, judging from how easily she killed the flying zombie just now, she's most likely at least at the Nascent Soul stage.

Mo Ling glanced casually at the beads of sweat dripping from Zhi Qiu Yi Ye's forehead with a calm expression, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Kunlun Sect, that's interesting. The Kunlun Sect has been extinct for two hundred years. Even the Kunlun Sect Master, Fairy Lonely Moon, perished at the hands of the Blood Demon Nether Spring. I heard that only one disciple, Xuan Tianzong, survived, and he hasn't appeared before the world for two hundred years. Don't you think it's foolish and ignorant to call yourself a Kunlun disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Zhi Qiu Yi Ye felt a sudden tightness in his heart. He was not unaware of the Kunlun Sect's affairs, but like Yan Chi Xia, Zhi Qiu Yi Ye had only inherited the mantle of these major sects' disciples. He had no interest in anything else.
Taking a deep breath, Zhi Qiu Yi Ye's gaze shifted from initial respect to indifference.

"No matter what sect or school the senior came from, such an insult to Kunlun means that Kunlun is not destroyed as long as there is one disciple left!"
Please retract your words, senior!

Mo Ling was delighted upon hearing this.

"Tsk, you're just a lowly early-stage Golden Core cultivator, how dare you speak to me like that? Aren't you afraid of dying here?"

Want to know my identity as a princess?
Haha, look at your face, which is even smaller than an eggshell. Is this really necessary?
However, since you've asked so earnestly, I, in my great mercy, will tell you: I come from the Immortal Abode of Ascension, and my name is Mo Ling!

Just as Zhi Qiu Yi Ye was about to speak, a lukewarm voice rang out from all around.

"Fellow Daoist Mo Ling is really quite idle, arguing with such a junior."

This humble Taoist finds what this young man said quite interesting. Hmm, not bad.

As the sound rang out, Zhong Bai approached the two with a faint smile.

Following behind was Commander Zuo.

However, Zuo Qianhu always remained silent in the face of Zhong Bai and Mo Ling's conversation. How could he possibly have the right to speak?

Upon seeing Zhong Bai arrive, Mo Ling, who had been acting like a wise and superior person just a moment ago, immediately lost her composure.

He drew his spirit sword at Zhong Bai, looking indignant, and said, "Daoist Zhong, this matter has nothing to do with you, Daoist Zhong, right?"

Or does the Daoist Master think that just because he comes from Maoshan, he doesn't take my Yuhua Immortal Mansion seriously?
"Just now, I almost killed that flying zombie with a single sword strike, but you managed to incinerate it with a burst of Samadhi True Fire. I haven't even held a grudge against you for this, and you're already lecturing me."

Seeing this, Zhi Qiu Yi Ye, who originally wanted to argue his point, decided to shut up. Well, it was better for him not to get involved in the verbal dispute between the two big shots.

Maoshan and Yuhua Immortal Abode are places that even the Kunlun Sect's leader, Fairy Lonely Moon, dared not offend before her death, let alone the few big and small figures in Kunlun now.
"Ahem, Fellow Daoist Mo Ling, you flatter me. I was merely stating the facts. Besides, what this young friend said is not wrong."

Regardless of whether the Kunlun Sect has truly perished, as long as this young friend exists, Kunlun exists.

After hearing Zhong Bai's pointless words, Mo Ling didn't even bother to say anything more. She rolled her eyes and left, afraid that if she continued, she would really lose her temper and start fighting with Zhong Bai.

"Hold on, hold on, this princess won't argue with someone like that..." (End of Chapter)
