Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

"Ah... I finally don't have to have my blood drawn anymore. It was so uncomfortable. Aoxue, hasn't Yunzong given the order yet?" Ye Liuyun was fully recovered.

Lin Aoxue looked Ye Liuyun up and down.

"He really is immortal. He can do all this to himself and he's still fine. The Cloud Sect still hasn't given any orders." Lin Aoxue said helplessly.

Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes.

"I think this Yun Sect doesn't want to make a move at all, or maybe she already knows something. Since that's the case, let's push them. I can't let my suffering of the past ten days go to waste," Ye Liuyun said decisively.

Lin Aoxue nodded. After speaking, Lin Aoxue contacted the sect. This time, the message she delivered to Yun Yun was so urgent that Yun Yun and the others could not wait any longer.

Because it's explosive news.

"What? Ao Xue investigated and found out that the Blood Demon Cult is going to hold a blood sacrifice in Jianglin City on the 15th of this month? Is this true?" Yun Che was a little unsettled.

Yun Yun nodded with a gloomy expression.

“Aoxue assured me it was true, so it shouldn’t be false. She told us to make a decision soon. The Blood Demon Cult members will gather at their headquarters on the 15th. The headquarters is located below the North City, which is a great opportunity to eliminate them,” Yun Yun said.

Everyone was terrified. If Jiang Lincheng had been sacrificed, the situation would be far too serious. What happened thousands of years ago must not be allowed to happen again.

"Then let's inform the other three families and have them join us in informing the Yun Sect, hoping that the Yun Sect will stop waiting," Yun Hui said.

So they first contacted the leaders of the other three sects and explained the situation. These three sects, upon hearing the news, certainly couldn't sit idly by, because they didn't know what the consequences of the Blood Demon Sect's actions would be, and they absolutely couldn't allow such a thing to happen around them.

The four families jointly informed the Yun Sect about this matter, making it virtually impossible for the Yun Sect to remain calm.

This is the main hall of the Yunzong Council.

"Gentlemen, the investigation results are in. According to the investigation results of the four lower-level sects, the Blood Demon Sect's headquarters is indeed hidden beneath the north wall of Jianglin City. It can also be confirmed that Lu Wenyang is colluding with them. They plan to hold a blood sacrifice in Jianglin City in three days. It seems that they know we are going to make a move, so they are preparing to act ahead of time and fight to the death." The Yun Sect Master said solemnly to the group of elders.

"Hmph! We haven't dared to make a move because we weren't sure if Lu Wenyang had any connection with the Blood Demon Sect. Unexpectedly, it turns out he really does. We should quickly request permission from the upper sect to send a powerful expert to suppress Lu Wenyang, so that we can take action ourselves," the elders of the Cloud Sect said.

Now that things are set in stone, there's no turning back. Although the news about Lin Aoxue is somewhat exaggerated, some of it is true. It's a mix of truth and falsehood, but we can't worry about that now.

Two more days passed, and finally it was the 15th of this month. The four major sects finally received the order from the Cloud Sect to prepare to take action tonight.

Yun Zong has already reported to the Supreme Response Sect, and the Supreme Response Sect has agreed to send a Nascent Soul cultivator to deal with Lu Wenyang. However, they have also requested that they minimize casualties.

However, their ideas differed from those of Ye Liuyun and the others. Ye Liuyun still wanted to follow their own plan and lure Lu Wenyang out of Jianglin City.

By the way, the Lanwei Sword needs a vessel, but Ye Liuyun definitely can't go out, and neither can Lin Aoxue, so there is a more suitable candidate for Ye Liuyun.

Early in the morning, Ye Liuyun called Fan Ling, whom he hadn't paid attention to for a long time, over.

"Miss, what can I do for you?" Fan Ling was already extremely obedient.

"I have a very important matter for you to handle. Take this sword outside the city. Once you're outside, this sword will take control of your body. Don't worry, you won't die. You just need to act as the vessel for this sword. Don't worry about anything else. Go." Ye Liuyun handed the Lanwei Sword to Fan Ling.

Fan Ling was a little puzzled, but she didn't ask any more questions. She immediately took her sword and walked out of the city.

As Fan Ling walked out of the city, the spirit of the Blue Rose Sword awakened at that moment. After awakening, the spirit released a wisp of treasure aura, which could only be detected by cultivators at the Transformation Realm.

Lu Wenyang also opened his eyes immediately from his cultivation.

Please give me some monthly votes, dear readers! I'll finish writing the mundane content today, and then start the new chapter.

Chapter 250 Unexpected Turn of Events (4000 words, bonus chapter for 100 monthly votes)

After Lu Wenyang opened his eyes, his divine sense instantly locked onto Fan Ling outside the city, or more precisely, onto the Blue Rose Sword in Fan Ling's hand.

"The aura of a Rank 1 Earth magic weapon? Impossible. How could such a treasure appear in the hands of an ordinary mortal? Could it have been found by accident? But why isn't the spirit of the magic weapon resisting?" Although Lu Wenyang was shocked, his first thought was to figure out what was going on.

It was so strange that a low-grade magic weapon would appear right under his nose; it was quite unusual. So he carefully sensed it again.

"Oh, the spirit of the artifact is damaged? Its power is faintly visible. I understand now. It must be a damaged Earth-rank magic weapon. Haha, if I can obtain this treasure, gather the necessary materials to repair it, and make it recognize me as its master, wouldn't my combat power increase significantly? Excellent, this is truly an opportunity delivered to my doorstep." In the end, Lu Wenyang couldn't resist. His body flickered and disappeared from the underground palace.

Little did that old man know that once he left, he would never return.

It wasn't that Lu Wenyang was too greedy, but rather that not many cultivators could resist such a good thing. Earth-rank magic treasures correspond to cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, but that doesn't mean all Nascent Soul cultivators have Earth-rank magic treasures. Generally, only sect cultivators have the financial resources to refine Earth-rank magic treasures.

Lu Wenyang didn't have one, and he would almost never be able to obtain a level-eight magic weapon in his lifetime.

So even though I instinctively felt there was something wrong with this great opportunity, I still went to check it out.

Lan Wei had already noticed Lu Wenyang flying out of Beicheng, so she immediately took control of Fan Ling's body. Fan Ling's immortality was very suitable for carrying Lan Wei, even more so than Ye Liuyun's.

The only possibility is that Fan Ling has no blood energy in her body; her blood energy has been replaced by the power of nothingness.

As soon as Lan Wei took control of Fan Ling's body, she immediately felt that Fan Ling's body was very strange.

"What a strange body. This girl is no ordinary person." Lan Wei raised her hand to examine and feel Fan Ling's body.

After completely taking control of Fan Ling's body, Lan Wei suddenly vanished into the distance with a whoosh, while Lu Wenyang appeared behind her at the same time.

"The spirit has awakened? It must have been awakened by my aura. Where are you going? Stay here." Lu Wenyang raised his large hand and restrained Lan Wei from a distance.

Lan Wei was immediately given instructions, but in fact she could break free from this guy's restraint in an instant. However, before she took action, Ye Liuyun told her not to appear too strong, but to show weakness first and lure this guy as far away as possible.

So Lan Wei deliberately struggled for a while.

"Hahaha, it really is damaged! This is truly my lucky break." Lu Wenyang could no longer hide his excitement.

He began to withdraw his power, intending to grab Lan Wei.

"Old man, who are you, and why did you ambush me?" Lan Wei shouted angrily as she struggled.

"Haha, remember this, my name is Lu Wenyang, and I'll be your master from now on. Stop struggling and come here." Lu Wenyang increased his strength again.

This time, Lan Wei could no longer pretend; she had to make a good impression in order to lead Lu Wenyang by the hand.

"What a joke! A mere second-level Nascent Soul cultivator dares to dream of possessing a high-grade Earth-rank magic weapon? If I hadn't just awakened and my power was less than one-tenth of what it used to be, I could have killed you with a single sword strike," Lan Wei sneered.

This sentence further provoked Lu Wenyang.

"A high-grade Earth-rank item? What an incredible opportunity! If I can seize this chance, I won't be too afraid of facing the fifth or sixth level of the Nascent Soul realm in the future. I must obtain this item." Lu Wenyang was filled with fervor.

But right there, the power of the Blue Rose Sword in Fan Ling's hand erupted, and a beam of azure light burst forth, spreading towards Lu Wenyang.

Lu Wenyang was stunned for a moment and hurriedly tried to defend himself. The power of the sword struck him and knocked him back several feet. The Blue Rose Sword also took the opportunity to break free of its control and then turned into a streak of green light and flew away.

"What a treasure! It's so badly damaged, yet it still possesses such power. I'm taking it now, there's no way I'm going anywhere." Lu Wenyang looked at the Blue Rose Sword as if he were seeing a stunningly beautiful woman, and he was no longer going to give it up.

He chased after Lan Weijian and disappeared into the horizon in an instant. As for the blood matter tonight, he couldn't care less. The blood matter could wait a few days, but the treasure was gone once it was gone. It would be too embarrassing to miss out on something that was already in his mouth.

Lan Wei has achieved her goal. She cannot let this guy catch her, nor can she defeat him immediately. She must drag him away from Jianglin City.

Let's look at Ye Liuyun's side.

"Little guy, that's enough. Lan Weijian and Fan Ling have already taken this old guy away. You should also prepare to make your move," Lin Qingyou reminded Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun then looked out the window.

"Aoxue, is the Cloud Sect sure they want to make a move?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"The message I received is that there will be a citywide curfew until dusk today. After 7 p.m., no one will be allowed to loiter on the streets. All shops will be closed and no business will be allowed. Then we can take action," Lin Aoxue said.

Yunzong is very close to this place, so they will be here very quickly.

People from the four lower-level sects also arrived at Yun Sect one after another. In order not to alert the enemy, this operation was under the unified command of Yun Sect.

Now we just have to wait.

What Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue didn't know was that as they approached the inn's entrance, a strange-looking young man appeared. This young man stood at the door, looked around, and even licked his lips.

"Is it here?" The strange-looking young man stared at the Yue Lai Inn and smiled effeminately.

However, Lin Qingyou noticed this guy's appearance immediately.

"Demon aura?" Lin Qingyou suddenly looked towards the entrance of Yuelai Inn. In her divine sense, a young man exuding a strong demonic aura was standing at the entrance of Yuelai Inn.

"Little guy, things might have changed today. An uninvited guest has arrived at the door." Lin Qingyou's voice echoed in Ye Liuyun's mind.

This sudden turn of events stunned Ye Liuyun. The operation was about to begin, and now a powerful monster had arrived—this was a major unexpected turn of events.

"What? Master, how strong is this monster? What kind of monster is it?" Ye Liuyun asked hurriedly.

"A snake demon, a monster at the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm, whose combat power is roughly comparable to a human cultivator at the seventh or eighth level of the Nascent Soul Realm," Lin Qingyou replied.

Ye Liuyun immediately gasped. Even with Lan Wei by his side, they couldn't handle this. They couldn't understand why.

Ye Liuyun quickly told Lin Aoxue about the incident. Lin Aoxue was stunned after hearing it; this was not good news.

"A demon cultivator at the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm? How could that be?" Lin Aoxue also felt this was a tricky situation, but now the die was cast and she had no choice but to act.

Just as the young demon cultivator was about to enter the Yue Lai Inn, another unexpected event occurred.

---------------------------------

"Huh? Wait, someone else is here. Is it him?" Lin Qingyou said, quite surprised.

What happened? A clear, melodious voice reciting poetry rang out from the bustling street.

"Riding the wind on a sword, I vanquish demons across the land."

"One drink of the mountain and river waters, another to swallow the sun and moon."

……

The sound suddenly rang clearly in the young man's ears, forcing him to stop.

The strange young man glanced at the crowd on his right and saw a young man dressed in white robes appear in his line of sight. The young man had an ordinary iron sword hanging at his waist and a wine gourd in his hand, reciting poetry as he walked.

The person who arrived was none other than Li Bai. Strange, didn't Li Bai say he was going to leave Jianglin City? Why has he appeared again? And he just happened to appear when Ye Liuyun and the others needed him.

Li Bai lazily took a sip of wine, then openly walked to the wall at the entrance of the Yuelai Inn and leaned against it, then intentionally or unintentionally stared at the strange young man.

"It's you? The Sword Immortal, Li Bai?" This strange young man seemed to know Li Bai, and the look in his eyes clearly showed great fear.

"Oh, fellow Daoist, it's me! How about we find a place for a drink? My treat," Li Bai said with a smile.

The two are communicating telepathically.

"Hehe, I'll pass on the drinking. What, are you going to stop me? Do you think you have the ability?" the strange young man said with a sinister smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Bai's eyes flashed with two sharp, cold glints, like two swords pressed against the strange young man's shoulders.

“You can give it a try. Oh dear, I originally didn’t want to get involved in Jianglin City’s affairs and had already left, but who knew that the sect would suddenly notify me that I needed to return to Jianglin City again. It’s a pity that I didn’t see the main character, but I did encounter a stronger opponent. If you would like to have some fun, my sword hasn’t been drawn in a long time.” Li Bai said with a playful expression.

Li Bai's cultivation level is at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul realm. If they were to fight, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat this demon cultivator. However, judging from the demon cultivator's eyes, he is clearly very wary of Li Bai. This means that Li Bai is not just at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Hahaha, it seems you're planning to take action against Jiang Lincheng. First, you lured Lu Wenyang away, and then you came to hold the line. Interesting. But I find it hard to imagine how you plan to take down the Blood Demon Sect headquarters in Jiang Lincheng without harming any innocent people?" the strange young man asked with a smile.

Li Bai didn't explain much. Actually, it wasn't his expectation that someone would suddenly lure Lu Wenyang away. But it was fortunate that the person was lured away, otherwise he wouldn't have had time to deal with this more powerful being.

"Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to find a place to discuss the Dao? I believe that cultivators at our level are not very interested in harming the weak," Li Bai said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the eerie young man chuckled sinisterly, then vanished into thin air from the street, along with Li Bai.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue had already seen Li Bai stop the monster.

"Mr. Li? Didn't he leave? Why is he back?" Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were puzzled.

However, Lin Qingyou had no way of knowing the answer to this question. But at least it was a good thing, as it solved their problem.

“I don’t know about that, but the power fluctuations emanating from that monster are very similar to the power fluctuations that permeated the Blood Demon Sect branch in the Six Yang Mountains last time. If I’m not mistaken, this monster might be related to the Blood Demon Sect,” Lin Qingyou said.

"You mean to say that what I or Aoxue did over there was discovered by the Blood Demon Sect's experts, so they sent people out to find us?" Ye Liuyun asked rhetorically.

"It's hard to say, but it's not impossible. Hopefully, nothing else will happen." Lin Qingyou couldn't guarantee it either.

However, no matter what, the mission must continue. It's just that the Blood Demon Sect branch in the city has discovered that Lu Wenyang is missing. You have to know that Lu Wenyang is their guardian angel. Once he is no longer in the city, the Cloud Sect will have nothing to worry about.

The main hall of the Blood Demon Cult's branch palace.

"What? Lu Wenyang is missing? Where did he go? Doesn't he know the predicament of our Blood Demon Sect? How dare he leave Jianglin City at this time?" The female leader of the Blood Demon Sect's face suddenly turned extremely ugly. She had a bad feeling.

"He should have just temporarily left the underground palace, right? He's a Nascent Soul cultivator, and we can't sense his aura. However, today is the day he replenishes his qi and blood, so he shouldn't be leaving," said the Blood Demon Sect expert.

The female leader's expression was still unpleasant, but she was helpless.

As for Li Bai and the demon cultivator, they had already arrived at a desolate mountain and lake area west of Jianglin City.

"The environment here is quite nice. Fellow Daoist, how do you plan to play? Will you choose literature or martial arts? To be honest, I'm good at both," Li Bai said in a very casual manner.

"Hmph! I also want to see if you, a sword cultivator who has comprehended two sword intents, are as powerful as the rumors suggest," the demon cultivator youth sneered.

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and grabbed, and the lake beneath his feet immediately began to boil. The water of the entire lake was stirred by his power and transformed into a massive wave that surged towards Li Bai like a ferocious beast.

He remained calm as the giant wave crashed in.

"The bright moon rises above the Heavenly Gate."

Li Bai drew his sword from his waist, and the rusty Taibai sword emitted a white light like the moon at that moment.

A flash of white light appeared on the giant wave, instantly splitting it in two. Li Bai's murderous gaze also pierced through the wave and fell into the demon cultivator's line of sight.
