Zhong Xian continued to move forward, but his attention kept looking behind him from time to time.

When he killed Wen Muyin, he noticed that Wen Muyin's soul-fixing mark was triggered. Logically, the Xuyun Sect should have sent people to hunt him down, but why did he wait for a long time without seeing anyone, and even didn't detect any signs of tracking?

Not only Zhong Xian was puzzled, Yu Xi was also a little surprised.

Wen Muyin is a disciple that Xuyun Sect focuses on training. His talent is so good that he was once fought over by the five major immortal sects. If something happens to him, Xuyun Sect cannot remain indifferent and will definitely send people over.

And if nothing unexpected happens, Mu Xiaoran will definitely be among the people coming.

That is, her master in her previous life.

Thinking of Mu Xiaoran, Yu Xi's eyes were still a little sad for a moment.

Mu Xiaoran is well-known for his protectiveness in Xuyun Sect. Although he also dislikes the demon blood in her body and does not allow her to appear in important occasions such as the school, whenever she is bullied, Mu Xiaoran will appear and take her away from the bullies and heal her wounds.

The Xuyun Sect forbade her to possess weapons, so Mu Xiaoran personally took her to recognize the sword spirit and taught her how to practice.

Although Mu Xiaoran's attitude towards her was much colder than that of his fellow disciples Wen Muyin and Lu Cheng, no one dared to hurt her openly in front of Mu Xiaoran.

Until she was sent to find ambergris.

The secret realm where the ambergris is located is extremely dangerous. With her cultivation level, it is difficult for her to escape unscathed, but because it was Mu Xiaoran's order, she set off without hesitation.

Now that she thinks about it, she was exactly fifteen years old when she went to get the ambergris, which is considered an adult in the human world, and her demon pill was also mature.

No wonder he couldn't contact Mu Xiaoran no matter what when his life was in danger.

With nowhere else to turn, she could only seek help from her fellow apprentices Wen Muyin and Lu Cheng, but she only received ridicule, and even the sound transmission stone was shattered.

She doesn't want to die.

Even if she lives in a world where no one accepts her, she doesn't think death will be a relief.

She wants to live hard, and she believes that one day she will meet someone who is willing to treat her well and find a place for herself.

But no one saved her, and her own strength was ultimately limited.

When she was waiting for death alone, only she knew the despair in her heart.

However, she didn't expect that when her life was about to come to an end, she would meet someone who was willing to bury her and accompany her to the last journey.

This is probably one of the reasons why she is willing to join the demon clan.

She really wanted a place to stay.

She hugged Zhong Xian's clothes with a little force. She heard Zhong Xian still calling her "little half-demon" and "little baby" in her heart. She couldn't help but raise her head and took the initiative to speak:

"Yu Xi, my name is Yu Xi, Xi as in morning light."

Strangely enough, she had been wandering since she could remember, and had no memory of her parents, but she knew her own name, as if it were engraved in her soul.

Zhong Xian was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Yu Xi to introduce himself suddenly.

But he quickly reacted, raised his eyebrows, and although he didn't open his eyes, the corners of his mouth curved up high, and he said happily:

"Xiao Xi'er, I'm Zhong Xian, remember."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he even came up with a nickname for Yu Xi.

Fortunately, Yu Xi didn’t care how he called her.

Now she only hoped that the wind and snow would be stronger, so that Wen Muyin's body could be buried deeper, so that those messy people from Xuyun Sect would not have time to come and cause trouble for them.

The rest of the journey went smoothly, but when Zhong Xian arrived at his destination, he was met with a ghostly aura all over the sky.

There seemed to be demon cultivators in the city, and the ghostly aura was so thick that the sky and earth in sight became a little darker. There was not a single living person in the huge city, and the snow on the ground had already turned black, like a large patch of dried blood. Just one look at it could make one feel uneasy.

[Huh? Strange. Besides me, there shouldn't be any other demon cultivators in this area, right? To be able to set up such a large sacrificial ghost formation, his cultivation level must be quite high. It doesn't seem like the work of a casual cultivator...]

Zhong Xian touched the barrier outside the city with his hand, and it felt like there was something wrong. The demonic energy contained in the barrier was not pure.

He tilted his head slightly, somewhat curious about who was pretending to be a demon and harming people here.

[Oh, never mind. It's none of my business. Finding clothes for Xiao Xi'er is more important.]

As long as his little Xier has clothes to wear, what does the life and death of others have to do with him?

The barrier that was blocking the way had no effect at all after it touched the bell strings. Instead, it was immediately eroded by a large amount of spells, and a crack soon appeared.

Yu Xi had no cultivation after her rebirth, but she was a half-demon and was born with extraordinary talents. She could see spiritual power that mortals could not see, so she cultivated very quickly.

The strong ghostly aura she saw at this moment made her feel a little uncomfortable. She suppressed the urge to vomit and was about to hide inside her clothes, but when she saw the name of the city gate out of the corner of her eye, she was suddenly stunned.

Hezhou City?

When she was out accumulating merit, she heard several Huashan Sect disciples chatting and talking about Hezhou City.

Hezhou City was one of the most bustling cities a few years ago, and many dignitaries would come here to buy silk and brocade.

But one day, the young master of the demon clan, Zhong Xian, invaded Hezhou City and sacrificed the people in the city for cultivation. There was no one alive in the entire city. The resentment had not dissipated for several years, and there was no grass to live and no people to enter.

The world was disgusted with Zhong Xian's cruel behavior. The five major immortal sects even united to hunt Zhong Xian for decades, eventually forcing Zhong Xian to have no choice but to self-destruct.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all, right?

She listened to Zhong Xian's inner voice and felt that the ghostly aura in Hezhou City did not seem to be caused by the demons.

Could it be that someone framed Zhong Xian for the tragedy in Hezhou City?

Just as I was feeling suspicious, I saw Zhong Xian had already arrived at the largest fabric store in the city and calmly pushed open the door of a shop.

Yu Xi didn't see anyone along the way, but when Zhong Xian pushed open the door, he saw people lying on the ground.

In addition to the room they were in, looking out through several windows, they could see that there were people in other rooms as well.

Everyone in the city was locked up in the house?

A thick black aura covered everyone's face. Some people's eyes were still open, but they didn't move at all, and it was impossible to tell whether they were alive or dead.

The ghost energy is still surging, which means that the person who created all this is still in the city and sucking the souls of these people.

There are tens of thousands of ordinary people in this city...

Yu Xi has always felt that the dispute between immortals and demons should not involve innocent ordinary people.

When she was practicing alone outside, the thing she did most was to find shelter for those homeless people. They didn't know magic and just wanted to have enough food and clothing, but the great cultivators could kill them all with just a snap of their fingers.

The human world is located between the Immortal Gate and the Demon Abyss. Although the Human Emperor signed a contract with the Immortal Gate to obtain protection, for some reason, when she was practicing, she found that ordinary people were still the most affected, and the protection of the Immortal Gate did not seem to be in place.

While she was lost in thought, Zhong Xian was looking around as if he was strolling down the street.

He took two steps over the people lying on the ground, and with one free hand, he put all the cloths he liked into the storage ring. When he turned around, he did not forget to put the silver on the counter, and did not care whether the people lying on the ground could collect it.

Just when I was about to go to the garment department again, I found that Yu Xi seemed to be too quiet since entering the city.

"Xiao Xi'er?"

He called out.

Why is Xiao Xi'er so pale? Is she feeling unwell? Damn it, it's all because of this stinking ghost energy that choked Xiao Xi'er!

At this time, Zhong Xian had obviously forgotten that he still had a lot of ghost energy in him.

Yu Xi, who was called, raised her head. She looked at Zhong Xian, hesitated, but didn't know what to say.

She couldn't bear to watch the people in this city die like this, but the guy who could create this formation must be very powerful. Zhong Xian treated her very well, and she couldn't let him take risks just for what she wanted.

But if Zhong Xian just leaves like this, will the tragedy of this city be framed on Zhong Xian again?

What made her most angry at this time was her own lack of ability. If she could handle the current situation, perhaps she could help the people in the city and Zhong Xian.

Just as she was racking her brains to find a solution, Zhong Xian looked at her troubled face and finally realized something.

"Xiao Xi'er, do you want to save these people?"

Without waiting for Xi to speak, he chuckled lightly and said lazily, "Then you must remember that we demons never save people unless the benefits are tempting enough. Otherwise, whether these people live or die has nothing to do with us."
