The Three Pure Ones' Secret: Expressing Spirit

He was a member of the Hundred Immortals Sect and was quite familiar with the art of communicating with animals, so over the years Sally had become his only relative who transcended species.

Just when everything seemed to be getting better, the natural lifespan of animals is generally shorter than that of humans. Sally fell seriously ill several times due to her shorter lifespan. Then one day, the appearance of the three badger demon brothers led Bai He onto a crooked path that cultivators should not touch.

Xingcun Village originally had a monkey demon, whose death was caused by the three badger demon brothers and Bai He. Although the monkey demon wasn't exactly a good demon, it wasn't bad either; it just annoyed the villagers and hadn't done anything to harm anyone.

However, the three badger brothers particularly hated the monkey demon. Not only could they not defeat the monkey demon, but they were also bullied by the monkey demon for many years until they met Bai He, who was desperate because Sally was sick.

Bai He was originally a disciple of the Hundred Immortals Sect. Although he didn't possess the sect's magical abilities, he could communicate with animals. Bai He was currently searching among the animals for ways to save his fellow creatures, and the three badger demon brothers planned to use the pretext of helping Bai He save Sally to kill the monkey demon.

The method of the three pot demon brothers did save Sally, but only temporarily. However, this intermittent improvement led Bai He to commit a grave mistake, violating the taboo of the Hundred Immortals Sect.

The three badger brothers told Bai He that souls could prolong the lives of animals, but killing someone to steal their soul was clearly impossible, and Bai He wouldn't do such a thing. So the badger brothers gave Bai He a bad idea: to kill the monkey demon under the pretext of eliminating a menace for the people, and the monkey demon's soul could also keep Sally alive.

Although this could prolong Sally's lifespan, it went against the laws of nature. However, Bai He had no idea that this was the wicked idea of ​​the three demons, who just wanted to use him. He was convinced by their words, which was a trick that demons were always good at: bewitching people's minds!

Hearing this, Old Fan couldn't help but frown: "Since you know they're spreading heresy, why did you still go along with them? Did you make up the story we told them when we first arrived? What did you do to Old Qiu's ghost?"

Bai He took a deep drag on his cigarette. His expression was obscured by the darkness. With his mouth full of smoke, he said, "Actually, we originally planned to use Old Qiu's ghost to prolong Sally's life before you came. But I didn't want to get into trouble, so I had the three brothers of the Jar Demon send his ghost back. You all know what happened after that."

After speaking, Bai He looked at the demon Sally beside her, her eyes filled with sorrow: "It's all because I'm powerless!"

The demon Sally looked at Bai He and said sorrowfully, "No! It's not your master's fault. I'm just a burden, I've dragged you down!"

Then, Sally, her face streaked with tears, looked at me and Lao Fan. She pulled out the glass bottle Lao Fan had used to impersonate Old Qiu. She handed the bottle to Fan Biao, who then asked Bai He, "Everything is subject to the cycle of fate. Your method can only provide temporary relief; it will only bring greater backlash. You are also a cultivator; don't you understand this principle?"

After saying that, Fan Biao opened the glass bottle containing Old Qiu. White mist began to drift from the bottle, eventually transforming into Old Qiu, who appeared beside Fan Biao. The old man looked terrified and cried out, "Spare me! I'll never kill animals again! I know I was wrong!"

Fan Biao gave him a cold look, then snapped, "Shut up, you deserve to die."

The old man was terrified, and then asked Fan Biao, "Can I leave now? I want to go home!"

We all stared at the old man, unsure what to say, when another unfamiliar voice echoed from the darkness: "Go home? Do you even have a home anymore, old man? The debt you owe our demon race can't be settled just by dying."

Seeing another person appear, Fan Biao hurriedly asked in a cold voice, "Who is it!"

In the darkness, a strange-looking person appeared within the light's reach. This person's face was indistinguishable from a human's, but their ears were those of an animal, somewhat like a cat's. Behind them followed three badger demon brothers: "You humans have perpetuated your disgusting acts for thousands of years. I don't care about your infighting and slaughter of one another, but you killed our demon kin and think you can just let it go? Do you think we animal beings are easy to bully? Today, I must take this old man with me. He wants to atone for his sins with death? Not so easy!"

Fan Biao glanced at him, then asked sternly, "Who are you?"

The man sneered, "Hmph! Hundred Immortals Sect, successors of the Three Pure Ones' Book. You're meddling a bit too much! Who I am is unimportant. Today, I'm taking all three of you with me! Don't even think about stopping me; none of you are my match!"

Fan Biao looked at the person in front of him and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Heh, well, I'd like to give it a try!"

He didn't dwell on Bai He and Old Man Qiu any further. He pulled out his chains, tied up Old Man Qiu, and then said to Bai He, "You two hide next to Old Pu!"

Then he shoved Old Qiu next to me and pulled out the hilt of the knife he had stolen from the underworld from his pocket! Fan Biao mumbled some incantation, and a long blade slowly grew from the hilt.

The man was somewhat surprised to see the sword that Fan Biao had conjured in his hand: "The God-Slaying Sword! I didn't expect this sword to be with you. We've been searching for it for so long. It's perfect to return it to its rightful owner and take it back with us!"

Fan Biao squinted and snorted coldly, "Hmph, let's see if you have the ability!"
