Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

At this moment, Xiao Jingxi, deep within his mind, was also quite surprised.

Last time, Ji Nanbei controlled her body to fight against the demon race.

At that time, Ji Nanbei's methods of manipulating spiritual energy were still very unfamiliar.

When using spiritual energy, it is very loose; when a move is made, 30% of the spiritual energy is dissipated.

And now, how much time has passed?

Now, Ji Nanbei is using her body again, and her control over spiritual energy is exquisite.

With a single move, the spiritual energy condensed and did not dissipate.

There was not a trace of spiritual energy emanating from it, and even fluctuations in spiritual energy were minimal.

The progress was so great that even Xiao Jingxi would be surprised.

Ji Nanbei, however, did not care about these things.

He simply gained more experience through battles and studying techniques, which naturally improved his control over spiritual energy.

With a sudden burst of strength, Ji Nanbei knocked the demon unconscious.

But they didn't kill it.

"Tie him up and take him with you. You'll need him later."

The three of them were puzzled upon hearing this.

This...this demon race will need it later, but how exactly is it used?

However, Chen Qinyi still took action, taking out a demon-binding rope from her storage ring and binding the demon tightly.

The only man, Wang Tianyun, went to comfort the frightened woman.

Ji Nanbei glanced at him sideways.

Then he began to speak:

"That one was tied up too."

Wang Tianyun: Huh?

These words left Wang Tianyun completely stunned.

"Which one should I tie up?"

Wang Tianyun also confirmed it.

Ji Nanbei pointed to the bewildered woman.

"Tie up everyone present. Take the demons away, but leave the humans behind. We'll untie them after this is over."

Ji Nanbei then looked at the woman who was on the verge of tears.

"I don't think anyone will have any objections."

The woman quickly shook her head.

Just kidding, why would I have a problem with that?

The woman was afraid that if she uttered even one more word, she would be killed by the immortal before her.

Anyway, they saved my life.

Let them be tied up for a while.

So, Ji Nanbei carried the unconscious and bound demon.

The other three followed behind.

In the courtyard, the remaining people were all tied up and gagged.

"Senior sister..."

Bai Jie called out softly.

Ji Nanbei didn't turn his head and said:

"Let's wait until it gets dark before we move. But we can't be sure what these people are up to. If they leave and spread the word that we're here, all our previous efforts will have been in vain."

Ji Nanbei paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice:

"The human heart is the most uncontrollable thing."

The three of them fell silent.

Senior sister... truly a divine being.

Three newbies who had just entered the world of cultivation learned a valuable lesson here.

At some point in the future, all three of them will have this thought:

Fortunately, I went through this with my senior sister; otherwise, I don't know what price I would have paid for this lesson.

The four then waited for a while.

The sky gradually darkened, and night finally fell.

The streets of Zonghua City began to empty out.

It's not exactly a curfew.

However, there have been rumors that demons have been lurking in Zonghua City.

It caused widespread panic.

The people in Zonghua City weren't so stubborn, so they naturally hid in their houses at night.

At this moment, a group of demons brazenly appeared on the street.

Leading the group was the hunchbacked man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks who had appeared in the city lord's mansion.

Looking at his fellow clansmen around him, the man frowned.

"Where's Eagle Three? Why hasn't he come to join us yet?"

At this moment, one of the demons spoke up:

"Boss, during the day I saw that Eagle Third Brother enter a mortal's mansion. He probably went to eat people and drink their blood. He probably hasn't finished eating yet. He was having so much fun that he forgot about the time."

The man in the lead immediately turned pale.

"Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile for the next few days? The people from Yiyu Gate just left, and it's already acting so arrogantly! Go find that Eagle Third and bring him back!"

With a curse, several demons who knew the truth immediately went out to search.

Then the man said:

"The rest of you, as usual, go door-to-door to search for me. Remember, this time, don't be dishonest!"

The demons obeyed and scattered in all directions.

The demons who had gone out to search for Eagle Lao San had only gone halfway when they smelled a strong stench of blood.

All the demons stopped.

They looked at each other.

These demons have all cultivated using their blood and energy.

Once you've tasted the marrow, you'll naturally crave more blood and vital energy.

Now, the rich aura of blood is wafting over, practically a blatant lure to these demons.

"Shall we go take a look?"

"Let's go, maybe this is what that third Eagle Brother did!"

"Yeah, why is he the only one getting this benefit? Let's go and get a piece of the pie too."

So, the demons immediately rushed toward the direction from which the blood aura was coming from.

As they drew closer, they began to sense a faint demonic aura.

This made them even more indignant.

As expected of that third eagle, he hogs everything, and he's doing it all by himself!

With this in mind, they couldn't help but quicken their pace.

However, the closer one is to the blood and qi, the more remote the place becomes.

We were already deep inside the alleyways.

However, the demons, blinded by their bloodlust, did not give it much thought.

After bypassing the path, they finally felt the blood energy right in front of them.

The demons were completely stunned.

At the end of the alley stood a stone pillar.

Their kin, the third eagle, were tied to the stone pillar.

At this moment, Eagle Three was covered in wounds all over his body.

Blood kept flowing out.

He couldn't even maintain his human form anymore, and directly revealed his true form.

Around the third eagle, there was a lot of blood splattered from some unknown animal.

Even these few ruthless demons felt their scalps tingle at the sight.

Who wouldn't be a fool to know it's a trap?

However, when they turned around again, they only saw a dark shadow rapidly approaching with a whooshing sound!

Ji Nanbei carried a brick he had found somewhere and skillfully tapped it with a black stick.

In fact, with Xiao Jingxi's Nascent Soul stage strength, he could easily stun these demons using only his spiritual energy, without holding anything in his hands.

However, Ji Nanbei still felt that holding a brick in his hand was more convenient.

Don't ask, it's just the inertia of time travelers.

The other three trembled in the shadows.

This little sword immortal... is usually so gentle and approachable.

But at times like these... it sends chills down your spine!

That's terrifying.

After easily dealing with the demons, Ji Nanbei stretched his body.

"Tie them up, tie them all up. Leave two of these demons behind as bait, and take the rest down for interrogation."

Upon hearing this, the three immediately began to move.

Meanwhile, on the other side was the demon leader with the pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks.

On the street, the man waited silently for his subordinates to report back.

He is a demon under the command of the Third Demon Lord.

Originally, this group of people were all cultivating in the Southern Barbarian Lands.

Occasionally, they would catch lone humans in the southern wilderness.
