Whose heretical cultivator relies on a rich woman to attain enlightenment?

The sky was overcast, with dark clouds covering the ground.

Huang Zhao, who had been all polite at the crime scene, even kowtowing until he broke the bluestone bricks, turned around and his face immediately changed, becoming more frightening than the gloomy sky.

"Has everything been investigated and clarified?"

He practically uttered those words from between his teeth.

"Yes, Lord Huang, it has been investigated and confirmed."

One of the captains standing behind them nodded, his forehead covered in cold sweat. None of the members of the Demon Suppression Division dared to utter a sound. This incident of demons entering the city had broken out too suddenly. Most of the main force of their Demon Suppression Division had been transferred to various counties and towns in Jingnan to assist in exorcising demons, leaving the city extremely vulnerable.

If Ji Xiaoxiao hadn't broken through her cultivation barrier and personally slain all these demons, the situation would likely have been even more serious.

Clearly, this incident is not only aimed at the Demon Suppression Bureau, but also at Ji Xiaoxiao.

"The east and west sides of the city were attacked by demons some time ago, which happened to be the time when the corpse-carrying people were transporting the corpses back into the city."

"It just didn't break out in the city at the time. Although we acted in time, it still resulted in heavy casualties among the corpse-carryers, which is similar to this incident."

"The demons from beyond the pass hid their demonic energy within the corpses of cultivators, likely in their dantian or heart chambers, as these two locations are difficult to detect. Moreover, damaging the dantian of the deceased is contrary to the harmony of heaven."

"Furthermore, someone in Zhennanguan was there to help them, so they secretly delivered the corpses to the corpse-pullers to be sewn up, and in the process, they used demonic energy to invade their consciousness."

"Furthermore, six demons have been stationed inside the city. All six of them are at least at the fifth level of cultivation. It seems that the people outside the pass are very clear about the situation inside the city and know that we have recently transferred all our main forces out of the city."

"By the time we got back, all six demons had been killed by Lord Ji with a single sword strike to the throat."

"Now it seems that the demon attacks on the corpse carriers in the east and west of the city a few days ago were a deliberate attempt to reduce the number of corpse carriers so that problematic corpses could be accurately delivered to designated people."

Take a deep breath.

Although Huang Zhao behaved like a dog in front of Ji Xiaoxiao just now, his hawk-like eyes were sharp and piercing, as if they could spit fire.

"Damn it, do you know we're keeping a ghost in our midst?"

"Knowing that Lady Ji was in seclusion to break through her cultivation level, they deliberately lured us to the outside of Zhennan Pass. These bastards made a big fuss in the city just to force her to take action."

"I wonder if Lord Ji will... damn it!"

In the end, I couldn't resist.

He had initially held onto a sliver of hope, wondering if Ji Xiaoxiao might have another chance to break through her current level. But the problem was, he couldn't even fool himself.

Even an iron man would get injured if he forced his way through the level, let alone using his internal energy to kill six fifth-level experts in succession.

He stood there with his hands behind his back, circling around. None of the captains or hall masters dared to speak, all afraid of being labeled as traitors.

"The city will be under lockdown for three days to handle the aftermath, appease the people, and cleanse the demonic aura from all the corpses before cremating them."

"All cultivators at Zhennan Pass have been replaced. Listen carefully, all of them!"

"After being transferred back, conduct a thorough investigation and ensure that all personnel responsible for examining the remains within the past month, no, within the past three months, are never reused. If necessary, the Soul-Stealing Technique can be used."

The crowd simply nodded obsequiously, but Huang Zhao was still troubled. The mole must know everything about the city, and the Demon Suppression Division had probably been infiltrated. He didn't trust anyone to help him now... and so on.

Huang Zhao suddenly realized something and turned his head sharply to look at the place where Lu Cheng had just been. Now he finally understood the look in Ji Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Lu Cheng was unaware that the Demon Suppression Hall had caused a huge uproar, and the entire Jingnan City was going to be cleaned up again. At this moment, he was happily carrying fresh pork and a bottle of wine home.

We made it ashore!

Although the way they got ashore was a bit strange, they were at least able to eat government food, so in a sense, they were lucky to have survived.

Humming a little tune, his physique had undergone a slight change after he came into contact with that corpse today. Most of his meridians were now unobstructed, and his spiritual root had turned a purplish-black color that resembled demonic energy.

A branch extends outward from the end, thus gaining the opportunity for cultivation.

It's strange, but although Lu Cheng was timid and afraid of death, he was never afraid of corpses and blood. While most people would vomit their intestines out the first time they were corpse draggers, he was fine and just picked up the internal organs and limbs and started assembling.

What would be a nightmare for others is just an appetizer for him. His mind is filled with Ji Xiaoxiao's heroic and valiant skills when she made her move today, and her swordsmanship is something he has never heard of or seen before.

Seriously, if the rich women of the Misty Sect were this good, he would accept it even if they scrubbed him with steel wool...

"Han Guang, Han Guang!"

A triumphant voice rang out from outside the house, prompting the woman who was watering flowers in the back garden to respond naturally.

"Master, why did you suddenly come home? I haven't hidden the man I just stole away properly yet."

"Um?"

Sometimes Han Guang's car speed is faster than mine, and he presses the accelerator harder than I do.

You don't actually think it's him flirting with Hanguang at home, do you? In reality, it's always the other way around; it's him, the innocent young man, being thoroughly teased by that slutty and shameless woman.

Han Guang naturally took the ingredients from Lu Cheng's hands. Her hands were slender and soft, especially her long and strong finger bones, which showed that she had once practiced martial arts.

However, he had never seen Han Guang practice any cultivation techniques. Most of the time, he was in a state of idleness, basically just going out for a stroll or staying at home to admire flowers and fish, and grow herbs.

"Sir, did something good happen to you again today?"

It has a pleasant, refreshing fragrance.

She pulled the boy to the kitchen, deliberately teasing his palm with her jade-like hand, and the A4 waist outlined by the belt gave him the illusion that she could hold and play with it in one hand.

Reach out.

But just as it was about to touch that constantly writhing, round object, it suddenly withdrew.

"That's strange, I'm clearly not a decent person."

He muttered something under his breath.

For a moment, Lu Cheng felt a little strange. He was clearly a lecherous man, and he had almost no resistance to mature older sisters like Han Guang. But why did he become unusually calm every time he had some improper thoughts?

Whenever I'm about to do something, my brain uncontrollably starts thinking about the value of life, the end of time, the boundaries of the universe, and the meaning of life.

I shook my head, trying to clear the jumbled thoughts from my mind.

"Of course, good news has come. Your master has successfully secured a government stipend from the Demon Suppression Division. How about that?"

"what?"

The act of cutting meat suddenly stopped.

She looked slightly surprised, and it wasn't an act. She knew the city wasn't very peaceful today, but she wasn't worried about Lu Cheng's safety. After all, her master was a complete good-for-nothing who didn't concern himself with karma.

To be honest, she was prepared to spend her life with Lu Cheng. For her, the few decades that followed were fleeting, a perfect time to recuperate and rejuvenate. But she never expected...

"Sir, weren't you a good-for-nothing before?!"
