Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

When the ancestor of the Wang family saw the smile on the face of the young man in white, he felt a chill in his heart, as if he had just walked through the gates of hell.

The young man in white said no more and flew directly to the ground, disappearing into the thick fog and dust.

"Ancestor!"

Although he saw the young man in white leave, Wang Jingyu chose to send a telepathic message for safety reasons: "Why did you give up such a good opportunity just now?"

Just now, the young man in white was standing in front of them in a swagger. If they suddenly attacked, they would surely kill the defenseless young man in white.

The Wang family patriarch shook his head slightly: "His actions just now were too strange. He seemed to have no concerns that we would attack him. This is completely different from his previous style."

"so……"

Wang Jingyu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and instantly understood what his ancestor meant: "Ancestor, do you mean that Xue Su did this on purpose? To test our attitude?"

“Well, more than that, I even suspect that he was deliberately luring us to take action just now…” The Wang family’s ancestor spoke solemnly.

"hiss……"

Hearing the ancestor's words, Wang Jingyu felt a chill in his heart.

If they had taken action just now, would Xuan Su have killed everyone in the Wang family like he did to the City Lord's Mansion...

But immediately, a question popped up in his mind: "Why is Xue Su so confident that we won't attack him? How can he be sure that he can defeat us in such a weak state?"

But before he could ask the ancestor, the thick fog and dust on the ground began to gradually dissipate.

Wang Jingyu's eyes were always fixed on the ground below, so he naturally noticed it at the first moment. After he saw the scene clearly, his pupils instantly shrank into needles, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Logically speaking, the range of the self-explosion of Wei Ru, a sixth-level cultivator, should be enough to cover the entire City Lord's Mansion, but just now it only affected a small half of the City Lord's Mansion. This made Wang Jingyu a little puzzled, and he even thought that it was caused by the young man in white who tried to block it.

But it was not until this time that Wang Jingyu understood where all these doubts came from.

On the ground, hundreds of monks from the City Lord's Mansion were still lying unconscious. Apart from the injuries caused by the attack of the young man in white just now, they were within the range of Wei Ru's self-detonation and did not suffer any harm at all!

Not only them, but even the stone bricks on the ground, the nearby houses and buildings, and the flowers and plants in the gardens were not damaged at all by the explosion of spiritual energy!

Except for a pile of blood and flesh on the ground where Wei Ru had just been, the rest was exactly the same as the previous scene!

"I still underestimated him..."

The Wang family's ancestor had an extremely heavy expression on his face. He suddenly understood the meaning of the elusive smile on the white-clothed young man's face just now.

"This person is definitely not a sixth realm cultivator. His true cultivation is the seventh realm, no... at least the peak of the seventh realm!"

Only a cultivator of the seventh realm can suppress the self-destruction of a cultivator of the sixth realm.

The weakness of the young man in white just now was obviously pretended, in order to test the attitude of their Wang family!

Thinking of this, the ancestor of the Wang family broke out in a sweat, feeling relieved as if he had escaped death.

If he had accepted Wang Jingyu's advice and attacked the young man in white, they would probably have followed in Wei Ru's footsteps by now.

……

After going down to the ground, the young man in white casually put the bottle of elixir given by the ancestor of the Wang family into his storage ring. Then the spiritual energy in his body suddenly surged, removing all the filth on his body, and he changed into a clean white robe.

He pushed open the door of the guest room where Ao Qingyue was and walked inside.

A defensive formation enveloped the bed where Ao Qingyue was, not only protecting her safety but also isolating her from sounds from inside and outside.

Because of this, the intense battle outside just now did not affect the little girl's sleep.

Her sleeping face was very peaceful, completely different from her usual liveliness. There was a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, and she murmured in her sleep: "Master..."

Seeing her sleeping so soundly, the eyes of the young man in white clothes softened quietly.

He did not leave the room. He took out a cushion from his storage ring, sat cross-legged and began to practice.

The sky is dimly bright.

Ao Qingyue woke up from her sleep.

The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was her master practicing not far away. She immediately looked a little confused and quickly raised her hand to rub her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw that her master had opened his eyes and was looking at her.

The two looked at each other.

"Master?" Ao Qingyue blinked.

"It's time to get up and wash up. We will leave Manxue City soon." The young man in white said in a gentle voice.

"Ah? Leaving Snow City?"

Ao Qingyue was a little surprised.

"Um,"

The young man in white paused and said, "If you are still sleepy, sleep for a while. I will wait for you outside."

As he said this, he stood up, opened the door and went out.

As soon as the young man in white came out, he saw the ancestor of the Wang family and Wang Jingyu walking towards him. They seemed to have been waiting nearby for a long time.

"Senior Xuesu!"

The Wang family patriarch spoke respectfully, with a flattering smile on his face: "There is a restaurant in Manxue City with excellent food. I wonder if you have time today?"

After learning that the young man in white was a seventh-level cultivator with unfathomable strength, the Wang family patriarch changed his address to him from "fellow Taoist" to "senior".

The only thing he wanted to do now was to establish even a slight relationship with the young man in white. As long as he had a seventh-level cultivator as a backer, their Wang family would be able to go further and completely dominate the surrounding areas.

However, facing the goodwill of the Wang family ancestor, the young man in white shook his head gently and declined him: "Don't worry, I will leave Manxue City today."

"Senior, are you leaving today?"

Hearing the words of the young man in white, the expressions of the Wang family ancestor and Wang Jingyu changed slightly.

They didn't expect that the young man in white would leave Manxue City so soon.

The young man in white looked at him leisurely: "I was passing through Manxue City. If I hadn't been delayed by something, I would have left yesterday."

"Senior, can you please stay for another day? We have not yet fulfilled our duties as hosts!" The ancestor of the Wang family tried to persuade him to stay.

The young man in white was determined to leave: "No need."

After hearing this, the Wang family patriarch and Wang Jingyu left with regret.

As soon as they left, the young man in white heard the sound of a door opening behind him.

Turning around, I saw Ao Qingyue had already put on her clothes and walked out.

"Wouldn't you like to get some more sleep?"

The young man in white asked in a gentle voice.

Ao Qingyue shook her head: "I'm full of sleep."

In fact, she was worried that her master would abandon her. Although she knew that her master would not do that, the insecure Ao Qingyue couldn't help but start to worry.

Hearing her answer, the young man in white didn't say much: "Go wash up first."

……

After Ao Qingyue washed up, the two walked out of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Master, did anyone fight in the City Lord's Mansion last night?"

Ao Qingyue held the hand of the young man in white and thought about the mess she had just seen.

The young man in white smiled and nodded: "Maybe."

Chapter 314 Three Apprentices

After leaving Manxue City, the master and disciple headed south.

One day a few months later.

A young man in white who was walking on a mountain road suddenly smelled a very strong smell of blood. He immediately took Ao Qingyue with him and chased in the direction where the smell came from as fast as possible.

But they were still too late.

When he arrived, there were corpses everywhere and blood flowing like a river.

On top of the pile of corpses, a skinny monk with a terrifying aura stood in the void.

His face was pale and bloodless, and in his skinny hands, which were almost fleshless, he tightly grasped a long black and red banner with pictures of evil spirits and monsters painted on it.

I saw countless blood and souls coming out of the corpses and flowing towards the black and red long banner in his hand. Countless residual souls were screaming and wailing. The scene was once extremely horrifying, revealing a terrifying and evil spirit.

The first time Ao Qingyue saw this scene, she vomited out all the midnight snack she had last night.

Even the young man in white, who had a strong psychological endurance, frowned slightly and felt nauseous.

And the evil cultivator also saw the figures of the master and disciple.

The war is about to start.

The demon cultivator has reached the peak of the seventh realm, and with the extremely evil Evil Ghost Banner in his hand, his strength is enough to rival that of a cultivator in the eighth realm!

Under such heavy pressure, the young man in white had to use all his strength, but with his strength in the late seventh realm, he was no match for the demon cultivator, and the balance of the battle was tilting step by step.

After the two had fought for hundreds of rounds, the young man in white, who was increasingly injured, suddenly made a breakthrough. His strength increased greatly, and with his one-for-one killing move, he narrowly killed the sinister demon cultivator.

After burning his body to ashes and dispersing his remaining soul, the young man in white completely destroyed his evil ghost soul banner.

Later, when burying all the monks in the mountain, the young man in white unexpectedly discovered that a little girl still had signs of life.

Thanks to his strenuous rescue efforts, the little girl miraculously survived.

The little girl is slightly younger than Ao Qingyue, and has white hair and purple eyes.

Her face was pale and her eyes were lifeless. After waking up, she stood there in a daze, looking blankly at the corpses filling the mountain gate.

The young man in white and Ao Qingyue felt quite sympathetic towards the little girl who had just experienced the tragedy of her family being massacred, so they did not disturb her.

But the little girl seemed to have no consciousness. She stood there for a whole day and finally collapsed in the middle of the night and passed out.

The next morning.

After the little girl woke up, he finally learned the whole story from her.

It turned out that the skinny demon cultivator who had fought a life-and-death battle with the young man in white yesterday was actually a famous demon cultivator in the Northern Territory, and had long been wanted by many righteous forces.

This was not the first time he had destroyed a mountain sect. He had previously massacred many sects and dynasty cities.

Although he was hunted down by the righteous bigwigs every time, he managed to escape death every time. After disappearing for a while, he would come out and commit crimes again.

This time, he only wanted to refine the spiritual weapon in his hand, so he ignored everyone's prayers and slaughtered all the mortal monks in the mountain gate, using their blood and souls to nourish his spiritual weapon.

Such behavior can be said to be the most evil among the evil cultivators!

As she spoke, two lines of tears slid down the little girl's face.

Her expression was indifferent and dead, as if she had lost the emotion of crying, until her eyes turned red.

Before the evil cultivator took action, her parents gave her a fake-death elixir to protect her, and then held her under their bodies.

Although both parents were killed later, the evil cultivator did not realize that the little girl was just faking her death, which allowed her to escape and be rescued by the young man in white and Ao Qingyue.

After experiencing the pain of losing her loved ones, the little girl almost became a walking corpse. She just answered the questions of the young man in white in a daze, her eyes always dull.

The young man in white also keenly sensed the hidden demon in her heart.

If we let this continue, the little girl will either self-destruct or turn into a demon!

In order to untie her knot and purify her inner demons, the young man in white accepted her as his second apprentice.

The young man in white also learned her name from the little girl.

Yin Ci.

After burying the mortal monks at the mountain gate, the young man in white continued to walk south with his two disciples.

Another few months passed.

In a city that had just experienced the baptism of war, a young man in white picked up a homeless little girl in the smoke.

She was younger than Yin Ci, with black hair and black eyes, and a weak and timid look.

Her name is Xuan Su.

The young man in white took her as his third apprentice.
