At the beginning, you will meet a fox demon and be taught the art of immortality

The people in the reception hall were mainly disciples of Mount Wutai, Mount Baiman, the Chishen Sect, the Zhushan Sect, and the Baigu Sect, and there were also a few people who claimed to be extraordinary and unorthodox. These people were either whispering to each other or closing their eyes to rest, and they didn't care who Su Rui was.

The room was filled with more than a dozen people of all kinds. Su Rui didn't care how they looked at him. He just clasped his fists and greeted them one by one. After going around them, he stood behind Taoist Yuan Huai, loyally playing the role of a lackey.

"Bring the wine and meat, we'll talk while we eat!" Taoist Yuan Huai waved his sleeves, and Taoist children lined up to bring up the wine and meat and placed them on the wooden table in front of everyone.

Su Rui stood up and took command. He also arranged a bowl of light wine for the followers standing behind each person, and received many grateful glances.

As soon as the wine was drunk, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Taoist Yuan Huai started it all, which was that the Emei sect claimed to be the best in Taoism, and had snatched most of the fortune and luck from the world through sword fights in the past two hundred years. As a result, the self-proclaimed righteous Emei sect became more and more powerful and overbearing, making it impossible for people to eat meat or even drink soup. If the founder of Wutai Sect had not been ambushed by a shameless gangster, the leader of the sword fight would have been the Wutai sect.

He became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became louder and louder, as if he wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction and anger. He scanned the crowd, as if looking for supporters. However, everyone was silent, some lowered their heads, some looked away, and some smiled disdainfully.

Taoist Yuan Huai felt a little disappointed when he saw no one responded. He sighed and said, "My fellow Taoists, are you willing to be bullied by the Emei Sect? Don't you want to fight for some benefits for your sect? Don't you want to restore some balance in the martial arts world?"

Although his words were somewhat inflammatory, they also expressed the thoughts of some people. Some people present were dissatisfied with the overbearing behavior of the Emei Sect and other righteous sects, but they did not dare to offend them easily due to the strength and prestige of the Emei Sect. After listening to Taoist Yuan Huai's words, they were also somewhat shaken. They began to whisper and discuss.

Taoist Yuan Huai was secretly delighted to see the reaction of the crowd. He continued, "My fellow Taoists, I am not asking you to be enemies with the Emei Sect. I just want you to unite and jointly safeguard the justice and fairness of the martial arts world. We cannot let the Emei Sect dominate alone. We must allow the martial arts world to have more voices and choices. We cannot let the Emei Sect trample on our dignity and interests in the name of defending the way and exorcising demons. We must let the Emei Sect know how powerful we are."

His words won applause and cheers from some people. Some people were infected by his passion and courage, and some were moved by his benefits and temptations. They began to stand up and expressed their support for Yuan Huai Taoist's proposal.

Taoist Yuan Huai was delighted to see that everyone was on his side. He said, "My fellow Taoists, since everyone has this intention, we should unite all the major sects and fight against the hegemony of the so-called righteous sects headed by the Emei Sect. We should let the martial arts world know that we are not easy to bully, and we will not be slaughtered by others!"

His words won another round of enthusiastic echoes. Everyone present was excited and their blood was boiling. They seemed to see their own sect regain its glory in the martial arts world and their names spread through the ages.

Taoist Yuan Huai was secretly pleased to see that everyone was stirred up by him. He said passionately, "My fellow Taoists, at this critical moment, the disciples of the righteous sects represented by the Emei Sect have challenged us to a small sword fight! This is a golden opportunity, a great opportunity to strangle the future of the Emei Sect in the cradle and deal a heavy blow to the Emei Sect!"

"But...that group of righteous disciples are not easy to deal with!" A voice hesitated and sounded in everyone's ears.

"Humph, is there anyone who is difficult to deal with? Just tell me, and I will kill him right now!!" the one-armed young man sitting in the upper seat asked coldly.

"It is rumored that there is a young monk in the Emei Sect who uses an invisible sword. His sword is extremely sharp and can cut through iron like mud. He can kill the enemy in an instant. His body is as fast as lightning and his sword skills are like a ghost, making it impossible to grasp. Not only that, he can also disappear into the air, making it impossible for people to detect his existence. For a person like this, killing him may be harder than climbing to the sky!" the voice responded.

"Little Monk Zhiliao, huh? Have you found out where they are? I'll go and test his skills now!" Taoist Xueyin suddenly exuded a strong smell of blood.

"Don't look for me anymore, I'm right here!"

Suddenly, a clear voice rang out in the hall, like the sound of nature, resounding through the sky.

"Don't you want to test my skills? Come on, take my sword!"

The sound was like thunder, as if it would shatter the entire hall.

Afterwards, Su Rui saw a ball of green flame suddenly emerge from the body of Taoist Xueyin, blocking a transparent sword energy.

The invisible sword technique of this monk Zhiliao was really powerful, like a ghost, silent and hard to detect. If it weren't for the green flame-like flying sword beside Taoist Xueyin that automatically protected its master, I'm afraid he would have been chopped into pieces by the invisible sword.

Su Rui was also terrified watching from the side, and wondered in his heart what means he should use to defend himself if Monk Zhiliao attacked him.

Taoist Xueyin was screaming in pain as the invisible sword energy came from all directions. However, he couldn't find anyone, so he had to let the green flame-like flying sword protect him. He then took out a black flying sword and stabbed it around his body.

Unfortunately, still nothing was gained.

The people in the hall had already stood up and used their own protective measures, fearing that there was another righteous disciple hiding in the dark who might attack them.

The saint of the Naked Sect was wrapped in a pink peach blossom mist and was hiding far away at this time.

"Ah...you little brat who only knows how to hide your head and tail, I will make sure you die miserably!" Taoist Xueyin's face turned from white to red, and from red to black with anger, and he said with gritted teeth.

As he spoke, he put away his sword, and his figure flashed, turning into a strange blood shadow. The blood shadow was like a ghost, floating in the air, making it difficult to see its true form. Its body was a strange red color, as if it was made of blood, and it exuded a pungent bloody smell.

However, the invisible sword seemed to have the power to ward off evil. After he turned into a blood shadow, although his speed was as fast as lightning, he was still in the open and could not avoid the sharpness of the invisible sword at all.

The blood shadow transformed by Taoist Xueyin looked like a frightened hare, constantly changing its position in the hall, but it could not escape the pursuit of the invisible sword.

Xueying persisted for a while, but for some reason, he suddenly went berserk, baring his fangs like an enraged beast, growling, and lunging at the closest Zhushan Sect disciple. He was so fast that he passed through the disciple's body like a flash of lightning, and then lunged at another Baimanshan disciple.

Everyone was shocked to see the body of the Zhushan Sect disciple shrivel up in an instant, as if all his vitality had been drained away. His skin turned pale, without a trace of blood, his eyes bulged out, and his mouth opened, as if he wanted to make a final cry. But he was no longer breathing, and had become a dried corpse.

"Everyone be careful! There is something wrong with the Blood Shadow Magic that he is practicing. He cannot control the bloodthirsty nature in his body. He must drink enough blood to calm down!!" Someone warned. Everyone used flying swords and magic weapons to protect themselves and looked at Blood Shadow vigilantly.

The blood shadow shuttled through the crowd, and wherever he went, there was a bloody storm. His body became more illusory, as if he would disappear into the air at any time. But his attack power did not decrease at all, and every time he attacked, he would take a life.

Those who were targeted and their companions used flying swords to attack him continuously, but Blood Shadow was like a ghost, and ordinary flying swords and magic weapons could not hurt him at all. And he could always easily avoid those who could threaten him. His speed was getting faster and faster, and his attack power was getting stronger and stronger.

Su Rui was standing behind Taoist Yuan Huai and was also terrified. The blood shadow transformed by Taoist Xue Yin was so ferocious that he even felt that even if he transformed himself into a demon body, he might not be the opponent's opponent!

"We can't go on like this, we have to find a way to trap him." Someone said. Everyone nodded in agreement.

However, at this moment, a disciple of the White Bone Sect was suddenly pierced in the heart by an invisible sword energy, which pierced through his body in an instant like lightning. His eyes widened and his mouth opened, wanting to scream, but no sound came out, only a stream of blood gushed out of his chest.

It turned out that the monk Zhiliao who was hiding in the dark also took the opportunity to take action!

All this happened too fast and too suddenly for anyone to react. When the others saw this, they were terrified and retreated backwards, trying to avoid the attack from Monk Zhiliao.

These people are the elites among the cult disciples. They usually think they have great magical powers, but in front of Monk Zhiliao, they are like ants and have no power to fight back.

The scarlet blood flowing from his chest actually attracted the blood shadow over.

There were indeed internal and external troubles, and these people, including Taoist Yuan Huai, immediately strengthened their own protection.

“Everyone, my Six Desires Peach Blossom Miasma can detect the trace of the Invisible Sword. If that little devil dares to come over, I will make sure he never returns!” Ye Qiuyu, the Saint of the Naked Sect, flicked her fingers, and the pink peach blossom mist that was originally just surrounding her body quickly expanded and enveloped the entire hall.
