Demon Sword Immortal

Ok?

Tao Shuohua was taken aback. He looked up at the experimental building and found that... he couldn't see any demonic aura swirling around it at all.

"Resolved?" she pressed. "Where is he? Is he still inside?"

"Supervisor Zhang has already sent people in," Zhang Longze finally seized a chance to speak, standing to the side and muttering, "They should be out in a little while..."

Did I ask you?

Tao Shuohua glared at Zhang Longze, whose lips twitched, and he immediately shut up and stopped talking.

Tao Shuohua also knew that he would have to take the lion's share of the blame for what happened today.

Thinking that all the students at the school had their backgrounds checked and that nothing could go wrong, and also because Fang Wenya didn't want her to live on campus to accompany her and attract attention, she lived outside, only meeting with Fang Wenya a few times a day under the guise of being her aunt.

Today, I was supposed to go in and pick up Fang Wenya to have dinner, but somehow the experimental class ran overtime. Fang Wenya urged her to go eat by herself on her phone, which is how those evil Taoists took advantage of the situation.

If Fang Wenya really gets into trouble, Tao Shuohua will be the first to be implicated.

But Xu Zhe, Zhang Daoming, Huang Qian... and a whole group of others will also have to bear the responsibility!

She was sitting at home when trouble came out of nowhere; how could Zhang Daoming possibly give her a pleasant look?

Therefore, she could understand Zhang Daoming's resentment towards her.

But you, Zhang Longze... are the school principal!

You just let them send the Demon Pool in so easily?

Zhang Daoming harbored resentment towards her, and she harbored resentment towards Zhang Longze!

"Out!"

Someone nearby suddenly shouted.

"They're here! They've really come out!"

This immediately drew everyone's attention away. A group of people turned to look at the steps and doors of the laboratory building, and caught a glimpse of a group of inspectors in black stab-proof vests swarming out.

Some of them were carrying people on their backs, some were hugging people, and some were carrying people on stretchers. Basically, several people were protecting one injured student, among whom was a quiet girl wearing glasses.

elegant!

Upon seeing the girl, Tao Shuohua felt as if he had ascended from the underworld to the celestial realm; his heart had come alive.

But gradually, Tao Shuohua, Zhang Daoming... and the others narrowed their eyes.

Because there is another "protagonist" in the rescue team.

It was a white-haired girl, also wearing a stab-proof vest. She was tall and had a calm face. She carried a short sword with its hilt and blade stained red with blood and held another wooden sword. She was walking towards them, surrounded by police officers.

I don't know if it was a coincidence... but the rain had just stopped when they came out.

The clouds parted, and a ray of moonlight shone down, illuminating the girl's beautiful face and her unique yellow eyes.

Unconsciously attracting everyone's attention, Bai Xiang showed no shyness whatsoever.

She walked straight to Zhang Longze, first inserting the Jiansheng Wood Sword into another clasp on his back, then pulling out the Dingbo Sword from its sheath and handing it over with both hands.

"Wishful thinking..."

Zhang Longze's voice trembled, "What is this...?"

"The demon is dead."

Bai Xiang glanced at the others out of the corner of his eye and looked sincerely at Zhang Longze.

"Thank you very much, Principal Zhang, for lending me your sword."

Chapter Seventeen: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Across the street, at the 'Red Dragon Road Third Hospital,' the students who had been beaten by Bai Xiang and came for a check-up were stunned to see a large group of medical staff rush out and then lead a large group of men in black rush in.

"Thank you so much, Bai."

After the examination, Fang Wenya, accompanied by Tao Shuohua, came to Bai Xiang's ward to thank her.

To be honest, tonight's experience was a bit too bizarre.

Trapped in the demonic chaos, they thought they would never escape. Everyone racked their brains trying to figure out how to defeat the enemy, but at this moment, a white-haired girl knocked on the door and calmly said to them, "It's alright, the demonic pool has been dealt with."

It's not just the Demon Pool.

As a noblewoman, Fang Wenya had access to all the inside information. She knew very well that this time, their enemy, the Demon Immortal Sect, had not only deployed a demon pool but also sent a full-fledged member to guard it.

According to Tao Shuohua, a formal member of the Demon Immortal Path must be able to 'be imbued with demonic energy,' and must at least have the cultivation level of the Sword Forging Realm to confront them head-on.

And this girl... her name is 'Bai Xiang'?

They all say that her cultivation level is only at the first stage of the Spirit Nourishing Realm, so how did she achieve such a feat?

Staring at Bai Xiang, who was lying on the hospital bed with her right hand bandaged and enjoying the apples that Chen Jing was feeding her, Fang Wenya was filled with curiosity about her.

Chen Jing didn't think too much like her.

The girl with chubby cheeks and pigtails rushed into Bai Xiang's arms the moment she saw her, crying and laughing at the same time, her heart filled with gratitude for God.

Chen Jing felt it must be divine intervention, the legendary protection of Heaven, that had specifically foreseen this calamity and arranged for Bai Xiang to be her deskmate.

Sister Xiang'er is amazing!

Sister Xiang'er is the best!

Sister Xiang'er is a sword immortal reincarnated! A fairy descended to earth!

Sister Xiang'er is my... eternal goddess!

Bai Xiang was texting Bai Shengju to report on the results of tonight's battle, and when he saw Fang Tao and the other two, he simply looked up and made a gesture.

"You are Welcome."

"To be honest, I did have my own selfish reasons. The main reason I went in was to save my classmate."

"Judging by actions, not intentions!" Tao Shuohua actually found Bai Xiang more agreeable because of this. "Even if you really only did it to save your friend, you did help Wenya and everyone who might have been in danger!"

"No matter what, I'm definitely going to be your friend!" she patted her chest. "I just saw that Zhang Mingdao and the others saved your phone number? Come on, save mine too!"

"Aunt Tao..." Fang Wenya was both amused and exasperated.

Tao Shuohua looks to be in her early twenties, but that's just because she has the art of preserving her youth; her real age is forty-three.

If someone of your generation wants to be 'friends' with Bai, how should I treat her in the future?

If we follow etiquette, wouldn't I also have to call Bai "Aunt Bai"?

Tao Shuohua didn't care what Fang Wenya's opinions were. She only knew that she had escaped death this time. Bai Xiang was not only Fang Wenya's savior, but also her, Tao Shuohua's, savior!

"I still have some influence in Hantian."

Seeing that Bai Xiangshen had saved the phone number he had given, Tao Shuohua followed up.

“You have great talent. If you want to develop your career in more than just Qizhou, you can consider going to Luezhou in the south.”

"Whether it's Hantian or Luejing, as long as you're willing to come, I can arrange a spot for you!"

The name "熯天" is likely derived from the idiom "熯天炽地" (meaning "scorching the sky and burning the earth"), and the only one in the Great Yu Dynasty that dares to use this name is "熯天剑道" (meaning "the way of the scorching sky sword").

The Hantian Sword Path is one of the nine major schools, and Luejing University is the best university in Luezhou, equivalent to the status of Qi University in Qizhou.

Chen Jing's eyes widened slightly as she listened. It turned out that this seemingly crazy aunt was also quite remarkable!

To make such a promise so casually, one must be no ordinary high-ranking official, and might even be related to the Lord of the Heavenly Dao.

"Thank you," Bai Xiang said politely.

"However, I probably won't go to Luezhou."

"why?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the ward was stunned.

Bai Xiang... Couldn't she understand what this opportunity meant?

This is no ordinary invitation—it's not about passing a major exam before deciding whether to go to Luezhou; it's about giving you a direct exemption from the exam!

You don't need any big exams, no sword tests, nothing at all. As long as you nod and go to Luezhou, you can be directly admitted to the academy and even become a disciple of the Hantian Sword Path, one of the nine great sects!

How many people could refuse such an opportunity?

"Because I have a reason to go to Qiqihar University."

Bai Xiang glanced at the cloud-patterned wooden sword placed on the bedside table.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid it's not convenient to say more about this matter."

What reason would be worth giving up such an opportunity?

Tao Shuohua opened his mouth to speak, but Fang Wenya pulled him aside and they went to a corner to discuss the matter.

Bai Xiang naturally saw everything. She didn't say anything, but quietly pressed the buttons on her phone and continued to edit the text message.

Chen Jing initially insisted on feeding her, but as Bai Xiang finished the apple and there was nothing else to do, the exhausted girl lay down by the bed and fell asleep.

After Fang Wenya and Tao Shuohua finished their discussion—which was actually a decision to secretly investigate the matter—she sat down on the bed next to her and said to Bai Xiang, "Do you know... how important those numbers you saved tonight are?"

Bai put down his phone. "I know."

Zhang Daoming and others held high positions of power, and although they were grateful to Bai Xiang, they were not willing to lower themselves and give her their private phone numbers one by one.

Only Zhang Daoming gave her a private number. He especially thanked Bai Xiang for saving Han Li and Zhao Xiaoqin, while the others gave her their official numbers so she could contact them anytime if she needed anything.

But it's already gotten to the point where it's terrible.

Think about who those guards were.

It can be said that from tonight onwards, Bai Xiang has acquired a special status within the city of Chilongdao.

As long as she doesn't do anything heinous, doesn't side with evil forces, doesn't betray the imperial family, and just diligently practices swordsmanship and takes the martial arts exam... she and her family won't have to worry about the rest of their lives.

"But you deserve it."

Fang Wenya looked very seriously into her eyes.

"The Demon Immortal Path...a branch of the Great Yu Demon Path."

“These people claim to ‘reform the old laws with the new laws,’ and they have spread their fallacies to a large number of people. They have been wandering around the Kyushu region, and wherever they go, they have committed a great massacre.”

"Wenya already knows that you were poisoned by Zhou Ji."

"Without you, Wenya would surely be dead today."

"Wenya is not afraid of death, but she is worried that those evil Taoists will take advantage of her death to stir up trouble and start a demonic chaos in Qizhou."

"Therefore, not only for elegance, but also for the many people of Qizhou, please accept this elegant greeting from Wenya."

She wore a chic, modern-style long dress, but bent her knees and performed an ancient-style bow to Bai Xiang.

Bai Xiang stared at her the whole time, and when she talked about the past behavior of the Demon Immortal Sect, he frowned slightly.

"how?"

Tao Shuohua noticed that she seemed unwell. "Is something wrong?"

"The Path of the Demon Immortal..."

Bai paused for a moment.

"The actions of the Demon Immortal Path are all purposeful."

“Of course!” Tao Shuohua exclaimed, “They are incredibly ruthless!”

"So what is their purpose in targeting you this time?" Bai asked.

"Just to frame Qingya Sword Path?"

Huh?

Fang Tao and the other person were taken aback again, and after thinking about it carefully, they realized that it was indeed the case.

They went to such great lengths to evade the search and release the demon pool into the school.

If the intention was to kill Fang Wenya, then why let the Demon Pool slowly spread when there were clearly official members monitoring the situation and they could have directly killed her?

Just to frame Qingya Kendo?

Thinking of this, Tao Shuohua inexplicably recalled the rare scene of the Red Dragon's top executives gathering together tonight.
