Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 96: A Shura Field That Ended Before It Even Began
In the dense forest, Lu Xueqi sensed that the demonic aura in the forest had become stronger, her expression changed slightly, and she quickly leaped into the forest.

In a few flashes, Lu Xueqi arrived at the front of the black stone cave, only to see that the fox demon from before was actually sealing the black stone cave, and a very handsome man was also assisting from the side.

As for Zhang Xiaofan, he stood to the side with his hands behind his back, showing no sign of helping or attacking the two fox demons with strong demonic aura.

Lu Xueqi glanced at him suspiciously for a moment, then made a hand seal and gracefully landed in front of Zhang Xiaofan, asking in a low voice.

"Xiao Fan, what's going on with them?"

“From now on, I will convert them to Buddhism. When this trip is over, I will take them up the mountain.”

Zhang Xiaofan explained softly. Lu Xueqi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, but didn't say anything more. She had an almost blind trust in Zhang Xiaofan.

Lu Wuyai and Lu Zhihua were both highly skilled, and with their combined efforts, it wouldn't take them long to leave a seal outside the Black Stone Cave.

However, by the time the four of them emerged from the forest, the sky was beginning to lighten, indicating that the treatment of Lu Wuyai had taken quite some time at the Black Stone Cave.

"Let's go back to the inn first, wash up, and give the townspeople an explanation."

Zhang Xiaofan said softly, and then walked towards the inn in the town. Lu Xueqi followed closely behind, and Lu Wuyai and Lu Zhihua naturally followed as well.

Lu Wuyai and Lu Zhihua didn't have much to tidy up, but Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi were exhausted and needed to be properly organized.

After straightening his Taoist robe in front of the mirror, Zhang Xiaofan looked down at the pile of magical treasures crammed into his waist. After a moment of silence, he began to organize them as well.

First, she hung the silk tassels strung with the cooling beads at the end of the Mountain and River Fan. Then, she used the Mysterious Fire Mirror as a jade pendant and wore it at her waist. She also wore the gold and jade inlaid Hehuan Bell as a waist ornament.

Finally, he fastened the Mountain and River Fan and the Azure Sky and Yellow Springs Flute to his belt.

After straightening his outer robe and vaguely resembling an enlightened person, Zhang Xiaofan pushed open the door and went out.

As soon as he stepped out, Zhang Xiaofan saw Biyao, Youji, Lu Xueqi, Lu Wuyai, and Lu Zhihua standing in three groups in the backyard of the guest room.

Lu Xueqi stood alone in the middle, holding her sword, while Lu Wuyai and Lu Zhihua stood to one side. You Ji and Bi Yao appeared to be standing together, but You Ji seemed somewhat detached from the situation.

"Xiao Fan, who are those two?"

Biyao was always straightforward and didn't like to keep things to herself, so she immediately asked the question, her expression carrying a hint of accusation.

Zhang Xiaofan glanced at Biyao calmly and spoke softly.

"They are the two spirit foxes that have been entrenched outside Xiaochi Town. From now on, they will follow me. Their names are Lu Wuyai and Lu Zhihua."

"Lu Wuyai, Lu Zhihua?"

Instantly, Biyao, Youji, and even Lu Xueqi's expressions turned strange.

Biyao went to bed early last night and was unaware that Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi had left the inn, but Youji knew that Lu Xueqi had followed them there.

Now that Zhang Xiaofan has said that the two foxes are surnamed Lu, Youji immediately thought of Lu Xueqi, and her gaze towards her changed.

Lu Xueqi was also stunned for a moment, and her face couldn't help but turn red. When she heard Zhang Xiaofan give the two foxes the surname Lu, she couldn't help but overthink it.

Biyao was much more direct. Although she didn't know what had happened last night, the sudden appearance of two extra people, who happened to share the same surname as Lu Xueqi, was infuriating. She wanted to ask them for details.

Zhang Xiaofan, however, did not notice any of this. After introducing the two spirit foxes, he said, "Let's go. It's time to set off for Changhe City today."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaofan took a step towards the outside of the inn. As he walked, the golden bell and jade ring gently clashed, producing a crisp sound that gave people a sense of peace and tranquility.

Biyao was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wanted to rush up and argue with him. Why should those two foxes have Lu Xueqi's surname?

However, looking at Zhang Xiaofan's back, Biyao's momentum weakened again. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but could only mutter to herself.

"Hmph, when the time comes, Aunt You and I will join forces and make you beg for mercy, hmph!"

As if recalling that scene, Biyao smiled again, her pretty face beaming, and quickly followed after her.

Youji gave Lu Xueqi a deep look, then smiled at her and followed her. Lu Xueqi looked at Youji's back and frowned slightly, but she couldn't figure out what the other woman was thinking, so she stopped thinking about it.

……

Xiaochi Town, at the town entrance.

“Those two foxes were the culprits who used to steal the livestock from the town. I have converted them and they have now reformed and will no longer disturb your lives.”

Zhang Xiaofan pointed at Lu Wuyai and Lu Zhihua, and addressed the town mayor, the head of the village, and the villagers of Xiaochi Town. Upon seeing this, Lu Wuyai also led Lu Zhihua to bow to the villagers.

"We have made many mistakes in the past, but after being enlightened by the Taoist priest, we will definitely follow the righteous path from now on. This silver is a token of our goodwill, and we hope that you will forgive us."

"This……"

Looking at the silver in Lu Wuyai's hand, the town mayor, village head, and others of Xiaochi Town hesitated, wanting it but not daring to accept it.

At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar stepped forward, bowed to Zhang Xiaofan, and asked.

"May I ask which sect you belong to, Immortal Master?"

"You're too kind, layman. I am deeply grateful for the kindness of my master's school in accepting me into the Qingyun School."

"Hiss, it's actually an immortal from the Qingyun Sect! My apologies! My apologies!"

Upon hearing this, the scholar immediately became respectful, and the other townspeople, upon hearing the name Qingyun, also breathed a sigh of relief and beamed with joy.

The mayor of Xiaochi Town was also relieved and quickly spoke up.

"So it was an immortal from the Qingyun Sect who brought these two spirit foxes up the mountain to benefit the people of Xiaochi Town. We humbly request that you accept our bow!"

As he spoke, the town mayor of Xiaochi Town was about to lead the way in bowing down when Zhang Xiaofan raised his hand and waved his hand. With a surge of magical power, he lifted the mayor up, left the silver behind, and then left with his men, leaving behind the townspeople who were still bowing in the direction he had left.

Since then, the town has been free from monsters. Gradually, a Taoist temple was erected at the entrance of the town, with a statue of a young Taoist priest on it and two white foxes sitting on it. The temple was filled with incense every day, and some people even prayed for children or marriage in the temple. It was very effective and became quite famous.

However, that happened later.

As evening fell that day, a man and a woman landed outside Xiaochi Town. Upon hearing the townspeople talking about fox demons, they became intrigued and began to inquire.
