Chapter 2960 The Second Test!!
Although Bai Xun was unhappy, he knew that it was best to leave the demons in the city to the immortal sects to deal with.

He was a smart man and knew that Wang Yue's initiative in reminding him to find the Immortal Sect probably meant that he didn't intend to hide anything, so he had no intention of concealing it either.

Just thinking about how his adopted son had been making fun of his daughter for so long, he said coldly, "Go away, the marriage is definitely canceled. If you win Shuo'er's favor in the future, we can talk about marriage again later!"

Chongzhao knew that what he had been hiding was indeed hurtful, so he quickly said...

"Godfather, I truly have my reasons!"

Seeing Bai Xun frown, he quickly added, "I will listen to my godfather and will definitely beg for Shuo'er's forgiveness!"

Bai Xun merely snorted coldly before saying, "It's at Qingyun Temple outside the city. Abbot Sun has already left, and now a celestial being lives there. He's the one who told me that you've joined the Lanling Immortal Sect!"

When Chongzhao heard Bai Xun say this, he became somewhat suspicious. He wondered if this immortal was from some immortal sect and happened to know him.

After Chongzhao and Bai Xun took their leave, they didn't go to investigate the Unruly Tower at all, but instead went to the Qingyun Temple!

Bai Shuo in Qingyun Temple has now reached the second level, which means he has the strength of the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, or even stronger.

It's not that Bai Shuo's realm is stronger than Xueyue Sword Immortal or Li Hanyi. It's mainly because, although they are both swordsmen, the power they unleash in the world of "The Legend of the Young Swordsman" is far less than that in the world of "White Moon and Stars".

Bai Shuo had witnessed the power of the Still Water Sword Technique at its peak, so after his strength improved significantly, he continued to work hard.

Just as Bai Shuo was engrossed in practicing, Wang Yue suddenly spoke up, saying...

"Bai Shuo, Chong Zhao is here. He is a disciple of the Lanling Immortal Sect. You should treat him well."

Bai Shuo's swordplay suddenly stopped. She looked at Wang Yue in surprise, but seeing that Wang Yue had no intention of explaining, she immediately picked up her sword and walked towards the door.

Bai Shuo felt very conflicted, unsure whether to believe Wang Yue or Chong Zhao.

However, Wang Yue showed no intention of explaining, leaving her to face the situation directly. Bai Shuo felt that Wang Yue had no reason to lie to her.

Therefore, Bai Shuo's face was very gloomy. He slowly walked to the door, gently flicked the sword in his hand, and the door of Qingyun Temple was opened.

When Chong Zhao saw Bai Shuo outside the door, he was initially very happy, but his smile quickly froze on his face because a long sword was placed on his neck.

The sword carried a chilling aura, unlike any ordinary sword, and Chong Zhao could not sense any threat from it.

Chongzhao probably guessed that Bai Shuo also knew about his concealment of the Immortal Sect, so he took the initiative to explain.
"Shuo'er, let me explain. My sect forbids me from telling anyone that I am a disciple of the immortal sect."

Upon hearing this, Bai Shuo sneered and said, "I understand. In your heart, I am just a casual person."

"Since that's the case, from this day forward, our relationship ends. You return to your Lanling Immortal Sect, and I will stay here to cultivate my immortal arts!"

Upon hearing Bai Shuo's words, Chong Zhao immediately said nervously, "Bai Shuo, let me explain. The world of immortals is extremely complex. You mustn't be deceived."

"shut up!"

Bai Shuo suddenly swung her sword, unleashing a powerful aura that sent Chong Zhao flying quite a distance from the main entrance. She pointed the sword at Chong Zhao and coldly snorted.
"Your sect needs to be kept secret, and my sect will not tolerate your insults. If you continue like this, don't blame me for showing no mercy with my sword."

Chong Zhao was very surprised. Bai Shuo had only been cultivating for a short time, but if he had used his full strength in that sword strike, it could have posed a real threat to him.

He could tell from Bai Shuo's swordsmanship that Bai Shuo had not become a disciple of any evil or demonic person, which put him at ease.

As for who Bai Shuo's master really is, he figured he could find out later.

The most urgent thing is to get back to the sect as soon as possible and tell them about Chongzhao's arrival in Ning'an City.

Therefore, Chongzhao solemnly bowed to Bai Shuo and said, "Shuo'er, I know I was wrong. You certainly don't want to marry me either."

However, my godfather has also canceled our engagement, so you don't need to worry.

I will try to win you back with my sincerity in the future.

Upon hearing that his father had dissolved his engagement, Bai Shuo turned and left without hesitation. The gates of Qingyun Sect closed automatically without any wind.

Seeing this, Chongzhao could only shake his head helplessly, turn around and leave Qingyun Sect, returning to the mountain gate to report.

When Bai Shuo returned to the courtyard, she saw that Wang Yue wasn't cultivating, but instead standing at the entrance of the main hall as if waiting for her. She quickly took a few steps closer and then asked,
"Master, is there something you need?"

Wang Yue already knew that Bai Shuo's next breakthrough was to the Supreme Forgetfulness Realm, and he felt it was time to proceed. Just then, another demon clan force began its attack. Therefore, Wang Yue planned to use this opportunity to help Bai Shuo better understand human nature. So, he calmly said, "Ning'an City is currently suffering from the Madman's invasion. Fortunately, this matter has only just begun. If we resolve the Madman's problem now, we might be able to save the entire city!"
This is the second test I'm giving you. If you pass it, I can consider teaching you a new immortal technique ahead of schedule.

Bai Shuo has now reached a state of perfect tranquility. As soon as he circulates his cultivation technique, he enters a state of supreme detachment.

Although Bai Shuo could not truly forget all his emotions, he was much calmer than the average person.

Upon hearing Wang Yue mention that Ning'an City was about to face a madman's rampage, Bai Shuo immediately inquired about the reason.
"Master, do you know how these madmen came to be?"

Wang Yue spoke very calmly, as if it were a trivial matter.
"Whether it's the immortal race or the demon race, they all have sect leaders. This time, someone from the demon race poisoned them, trying to deliberately incite a conflict between the immortals and demons."

Humanity is nothing more than an insignificant sacrifice in their struggle.

Upon hearing this, Bai Shuo felt an intense disgust for both immortals and demons. She immediately bowed to Wang Yue and said...
"Master, do you have any way to cure this madman's disease?"

Seeing the expectation in Bai Shuo's eyes, Wang Yue pondered his plan for a moment, then calmly said...

"The madman won't die immediately, but he can spread the disease through biting, and if things go wrong, it can infect the whole city!"
So, if you don't want those who have gone mad to die, you can first bring them under control.

As for the solution, I'll give it to you later; you need to complete the task first.

Now that Bai Shuo felt more confident, he immediately bowed to Wang Yue and turned to go down the mountain.

……

Bai Xun continued practicing his swordsmanship. Seeing his daughter return, he immediately assumed Chong Zhao had upset her, and he quickly smiled apologetically.

"Shuo'er, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you cultivating on the mountain anymore?"

Bai Shuo solemnly said, "Father, my master said that there are demons causing trouble in our city, which has caused some people to go mad. He asked me to go down the mountain to solve the problem, which is my second test."

Upon hearing Bai Shuo's words, Bai Xun immediately became nervous and anxiously asked,

"Does your master have a solution?"

Bai Shuo knew that her father's biggest concern was the safety of ordinary people, so she quickly reassured him.

“My master told us that we could first control those madmen, and he had a way to treat them.”

"That's fine, that's fine!"

Bai Xun quickly patted his chest to catch his breath before reminding Bai Shuo again.

"The immortal told me that there are demons living in the Unruly Pavilion. Should we go find the owner of the Unruly Pavilion and see if this matter is related to them?"

Bai Shuo immediately shook his head and said, "Father, what we need to do now is to seal off the entire city, search the maniacs house by house, and then bring them under control."

My master said these madmen can spread their disease through biting, so we have to act quickly, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble.

Upon hearing that it was contagious, Bai Xun immediately became anxious. He hurriedly led his men to set off and sealed off the entire city.

At this time, the madman had just erupted, and no one realized the danger. Those who were sick were afraid that others would see their family members going mad, so they took the initiative to hide their relatives.

Bai Xun found the search very difficult. Although he managed to arrest a small number of them through forceful means, he knew that by sealing off the entire city, he probably wouldn't be able to catch them all.

Bai Shuo had been following along the whole time. Noticing Bai Xun's exhausted state, she gritted her teeth and said seriously,
"Father, why don't we take a few madmen to the Unruly Tower? I believe that even if the Unruly Tower isn't the mastermind, they probably know how to solve this problem."

Hearing Bai Shuo say this, Bai Xun became less certain and said...

"Although my daughter and I have learned immortal arts, we have never fought against monsters. Could we be no match for the Lord of the Unruly Pavilion?"

Bai Shuo calmly replied, "Master has already said that the demon race and the immortal sects have reached an agreement that they cannot act recklessly in the mortal realm."

Moreover, whether it's the immortal sect or the demon race, they each have their own struggles.

Therefore, the demon race can only do bad things secretly, and the immortal sects will turn a blind eye. If the Unruly Lord really fights with us, they will face the entire immortal sect's targeting, and the demon race will probably target them as well.

Bai Xun felt that his daughter had grown up and that her analysis was reasonable and well-founded, so he immediately nodded and said...
"In that case, let's take the Madman with us to the Unruly Tower!"

Of course, Bai Xun couldn't just take Bai Shuo with him. He brought a lot of soldiers with him, and used cages to restrain the madmen separately. They then openly and boldly passed through the bustling city and arrived at the Unruly Tower!
