The passers-by are vicious

"This monster exudes such strong resentment that it must have killed many innocent people. Now that we encounter her today, we must subdue her to prevent more people from suffering."

Thinking of this, Lu Tianyu calmed himself down and decided to help Xuandu subdue the woman in red in front of him no matter what.

"Brother, be careful!" Duanmu Rong, who had followed closely, was horrified and screamed.

However, at this moment, facing the surging red resentment that was coming like a tide, Xuandu's expression was still as cold as dust, without the slightest fluctuation.

He calmly and quickly pulled out the long sword from his back, formed a seal with one hand, and instantly slashed out a dazzling white sword energy.

The sword energy was like a rainbow piercing the sun, with unparalleled power, it fiercely slashed towards the red fog.

In an instant, the sword energy and the red mist collided with each other, making a loud noise that shook the earth.

The red mist was split apart by the sword energy and dissipated into nothingness.

Seeing that her attack was easily resolved, the woman in red did not show any surprise.

She released her hands that were pinching the short man's neck, and then her body turned into a ball of scarlet blood and fled away.

"This is just a small warning. My master hopes that you will leave Jiayang Town as soon as possible, otherwise, we will definitely massacre the entire county magistrate's mansion!"

The enchanting voice of the woman in red seemed to still echo in the air for a long time.

Xuan Du held a long sword in his hand and did not stop the other Shushan disciples who were trying to chase him. He said in a cold voice: "Don't chase after a desperate enemy."

After just a brief exchange of blows, Xuan Du could feel that the power of the banshee was simply not something that these disciples could subdue.

Xuan Du is the only one in the training team who can compete with the banshee, but now the most important thing is to save people first.

Lu Tianyu had already stepped forward to check the pulse of the short man. He squatted on the ground and shook his head at Xuan Du: "He only had one breath left just now, but now he is dead."

"These monsters are so despicable that they kill people at will." When the other disciples heard this, they immediately showed angry expressions, and some even drew their swords and were about to chase them.

But he was stopped by Xuandu's words: "That monster has extraordinary cultivation. You are no match for it."

After hearing this, the disciple's anger instantly deflated, and he retracted his sword with an embarrassed expression.

"Big Brother, what should we do now? Should we really listen to that evil spirit and leave town?"

"Return to the county magistrate's office and investigate again tomorrow."

Xuandu put the sword back behind him, his handsome face expressed a slightly gloomy expression, and turned to walk towards the direction of the county magistrate's mansion.

There were people coming and going around, and Xuandu, dressed in a white Taoist robe, was very conspicuous among them. In addition, he was handsome and attracted the attention of many women.

But because of his identity as a Taoist priest, no one dared to approach him and start a conversation.

Seeing that everyone around him was holding lanterns, Lu Tianyu seemed to have just remembered, "It's the night of the full moon, the Lantern Festival, no wonder the streets are so bright."

Duanmu Rong picked up a lantern from somewhere and wanted to hand it to Xuandu, but Xuandu just glanced at it and dodged.

"Junior sister, stop making trouble."

Although he didn't know what the Ghost Festival meant, he could guess a thing when he saw men and women around him holding lanterns.

Suddenly, a charming woman holding a lantern passed by Xuan Du.

At that moment..., Xuandu's cold expression froze, and he turned around and chased after him, ignoring the calls of his fellow apprentice brother behind him.

"Senior Brother." Duanmu Rong wanted to follow, but was crowded with people and couldn't get out. She could only watch Xuan Du's figure running away.

He looked around, trying to find the woman in the crowd, but suddenly looked forward.

Jiang Wanwan, dressed in green, was taking the lantern handed to her by the woman next to her and looking up at the sky.

"boom."

The bright lanterns are like thousands of trees in bloom, and the fireworks falling from the sky are shining like a shower of stars.

But in Xuandu's eyes, there seemed to be only a hint of green among the crowd of thousands. His starry eyes trembled, but he could not look away. The tip of his nose seemed to smell the fragrance of orchid again.

Jiang Wanwan looked up at the sky with a smile on her face, her pink lips raised, as soft and gentle as an orchid.

Thousands of lights, but only one person to watch.

Xuan Du just felt that his heart seemed a little strange, and his hand couldn't help but cover his chest.

Xuandu has always been as cold as dust, with only cultivation in his heart to fulfill the wish of his master and the head of the sect to become an immortal.

It seems that something has changed at this moment.

It was not until the fireworks in the sky dissipated and stopped, and Jiang Wanwan's figure was obscured and finally submerged by the crowd, that Xuandu seemed to come to his senses.

"Senior Brother, what are you looking at?" Duanmu Rong finally squeezed through the crowd and walked over. She followed his gaze and only breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see the woman.

She came back this time just to stop the eldest senior brother from falling in love with that mortal. As long as that mortal was not there, the eldest senior brother would definitely become an immortal.

Her father once calculated the horoscopes for her and her senior brother, and they were a match made in heaven.

The eldest brother has a destiny attached to him.

And she is his destined one. She has liked Xuan Du since she was a child, so they will definitely be together in this life.

As for that mortal, she was nothing more than a life and death tribulation for the eldest senior brother Xuan Du. As long as she died, the eldest senior brother would succeed in overcoming the tribulation.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Rong's brows twisted, a red light seemed to flash in her eyes, and her aura suddenly became unpredictable.

Xuandu seemed to sense the presence and looked at Duanmu Rong calmly: "Junior sister."

The blood in Duanmu Rong's eyes immediately dissipated, and she smiled coquettishly: "What's wrong, Senior Brother."

"Nothing." Xuan Du hesitated for a moment and decided to report Duanmu Rong's abnormality to the head of Shushan. After all, he was only Duanmu Rong's senior brother and it was not appropriate for him to interfere too much.

When they returned to the county magistrate's mansion, Jiang Wanwan met the Shushan disciples led by Xuandu at the door.

Jiang Wanwan immediately covered her face with her sleeves and stepped back a few steps, unable to avoid the Shushan disciples.

Bixia also immediately snorted and protected Jiang Wanwan into the mansion first.

Hao Rong, on the other hand, stayed and looked at Xuan Du, her narrow eyes slightly raised: "You are the Taoist priests from Shu Mountain, right? I am also the young lady's maid Hao Rong, responsible for managing the affairs of the county magistrate's mansion."

"Thank you for your hard work in investigating the monsters in Jiayang. The master has already told me that all your needs will be met. Just tell me."

After saying this, he stood in front of Xuan Du, blocking his view of Jiang Wanwan's back.

Hao Rong smiled and asked: "Master Xuandu, I wonder if you have found anything today."

Xuan Du retracted his gaze, not looking at Hao Rong's delicate face, but lowered his eyes and said simply: "There is indeed a big monster in the town. We have already fought with it, and we need to investigate further."

"That's good. I hope the Taoist priest can protect the county magistrate's mansion."

After saying that, Haorong turned around and left with a smile. The moment she turned her back, the smile on her face disappeared. Instead, there was an evil air about her, and her red lips were curled up in a sneer.

They are just a bunch of ignorant Taoist priests who dare to meddle in the affairs of Jiayang Town.
