The Untamed: Wei Wuxian Reborn as a Child

Chapter 337 The Painless Evil

In the early morning in the depths of the clouds, there is a hint of solemnity in the quietness.

Lan Qingheng was handling the affairs of the Immortal Sect in his study, and his desk was piled with secret letters and documents sent from all over the place.

The sunlight shines through the window lattice and falls on his focused face, reflecting the calmness and wisdom left by the years.

On this day, Lan Qingheng's brows gradually furrowed as he reviewed the news coming from various sects.

Many letters mentioned the same disturbing phenomenon - evil spirits have appeared in many places recently.

These evil spirits behave strangely, not only often disturbing people in the middle of the night, but what is even more troublesome is that they seem to feel no pain.

Some disciples described that when fighting with evil spirits, even if they pierced their bodies with swords, the evil spirits showed no fear and still pounced on them madly.

This extraordinary situation caused great trouble for the monks of various sects, and panic broke out. Lan Qingheng knew that if it was not resolved quickly, it would cause even greater chaos.

"Pass on my order and summon all the elders to discuss the matter." Lan Qingheng put down the letter in his hand and said to the servant beside him.

Soon, several elders gathered in the study.

Lan Qingheng handed the letter to them and circulated it. He said solemnly, "Everyone, the Immortal Sect is now facing this evil threat. Does anyone have any good plans?"

After reading the letter, the elders all looked worried.

An elder spoke first, "Master Immortal, this evil spirit is so bizarre that ordinary magic cannot deal with it."

Another elder echoed, "Yes, the most urgent task is to find someone capable to investigate thoroughly so that we can prescribe the right remedy."

Everyone discussed it for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a perfect solution.

At this time, a young disciple hurried into the study, bowed, and said, "Master Immortal, there are several sect leaders outside who want to see you. They say they are here for something evil."

Lan Qingheng nodded slightly: "Please let them in."

Several sect leaders walked into the study and saluted Lan Qingheng.

One of the sect leaders said anxiously, "Immortal Commander, this evil spirit is rampant right now, and our sect is simply unable to cope with it. I've heard that Lord Jingxing and Lord Hanguang are highly skilled in Taoism, so I hope the Immortal Commander can ask them to come and help us."

The other sect leaders also echoed: "Yes, Immortal Governor, please help us. The entire Immortal Sect is relying on you."

Lan Qingheng pondered for a moment and said, "Everyone, rest assured. I will make proper arrangements for this matter. Wuxian and Wangji are both outstanding disciples of the Lan family. If they go, they will surely gain something."

After hearing this, the other clan leaders breathed a sigh of relief and expressed their gratitude repeatedly.

After the sect leaders left, Lan Qingheng called Lan Sizhui and instructed him, "Go and invite Wangji and Wuxian."

Not long after, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji arrived at the study.

Lan Qingheng explained the situation to them in detail, saying, "The Immortal Sect is in trouble right now, and this evil spirit is quite a problem. I hope you two can go investigate and find out what's causing it."

Wei Wuxian crossed his arms, a confident smile on his face. "Don't worry, father. Lan Zhan and I won't let you down. It just so happens that I'm also very curious about these pain-insensitive evil spirits. I want to see what's so strange about them."

Lan Wangji nodded slightly: "I will follow my father's instructions."

Lan Qingheng looked at them, his eyes full of trust: "Be careful on this trip. If you find anything, report back immediately."

After Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji agreed, they began to make preparations.

They packed their bags, took their swords and talismans, and left the Cloud Recesses.

Along the way, Wei Wuxian kept guessing about the origin of the evil spirit.

"Lan Zhan, how come these evil spirits can't feel pain? Is it some new evil magic?" Wei Wuxian said as he hurried on his way.

Lan Wangji pondered for a moment: "Perhaps this evil spirit is different from the previous ones. We must not take it lightly."

The two soon arrived at the first place where evil spirits appeared - a small town called Qingping Town.

This used to be a bustling market, but now it is deserted and there are almost no pedestrians on the streets.

Most of the shops were closed, and occasionally you could see a few frightened people hurrying past.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji walked into an inn. When the innkeeper saw them, he hurried over to greet them as if he had seen his saviors.

"Two young masters, you must save us! There have been evil spirits appearing at night these few days, and many people have been injured." The shopkeeper said in a trembling voice.

Wei Wuxian soothed him, "Boss, don't panic. Tell me in detail what these evil spirits look like. Are there any special signs when they appear?"

The shopkeeper calmed himself down and said, "Those evil spirits are erratic. Some resemble humans, while others are bizarre. When they appear, the surroundings become eerie and cold, and no matter how hard you hit them, they won't fall."

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji exchanged a glance, each realizing what was going on. It seemed this evil spirit was indeed something more than simple.

"Boss, we will stay here tonight. If the evil spirits come again, we will definitely capture them." Wei Wuxian said.

The shopkeeper thanked them profusely and arranged a room for them.

As night falls, Qingping Town is shrouded in darkness.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji sat in the room, quietly waiting for the evil spirit to appear.

At the second watch, a cold wind blew and a strange sound came from outside the window.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji immediately stood up, opened the door, and chased in the direction of the sound.

I saw several dark shadows appear on the street, which were exactly the evil spirits that the people were talking about.

These evil spirits emitted a faint green light and had ferocious faces. When they saw Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, they immediately pounced on them with their fangs and claws bared.

Wei Wuxian took out his Chen Qing and played the Requiem, trying to quell these evil spirits.

Lan Wangji held the Dust-Bidding Sword in his hand and rushed towards the evil spirit as fast as lightning.

However, as the people said, these evil spirits seemed unresponsive to their attacks.

Wei Wuxian's requiem could only temporarily delay their movements. When Lan Wangji's sword pierced the evil spirits, they only paused for a moment before continuing to pounce.

"Lan Zhan, these evil spirits are a bit tricky." Wei Wuxian shouted.

Lan Wangji said nothing, but danced the sword in his hand more fiercely.

He carefully observed the evil spirits' movements, trying to find their weaknesses.

At this moment, Wei Wuxian suddenly discovered that every time the evil spirit was attacked, the faint green light on its body would flash.

An idea struck him, and he immediately shouted to Lan Wangji, "Lan Zhan, attack the places where the light is flashing on their bodies!"

Lan Wangji understood and immediately changed his attack method.

Sure enough, when Bichen stabbed the glowing spot on the evil spirit's body, the evil spirit let out a painful roar, and the light on its body gradually dimmed.

After a fierce battle, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji finally eliminated all the evil spirits.

Watching the shadows gradually dissipate on the ground, Wei Wuxian wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Finally, we've taken care of a group of them. However, where did these evil spirits come from? There must be a bigger conspiracy behind this."

Lan Wangji nodded: "Well, let's continue investigating and get to the bottom of this matter."

The two decided to stay in Qingping Town for a few more days to investigate the origin of the evil spirit in depth.

They visited the people everywhere, looking for clues. From an old man, they learned about a mysterious place - an abandoned old house outside the town.

It is said that before the evil spirit appeared, strange noises were often heard in the old house.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji decided to go to the ancient house to find out what was going on.
