The Burning Sword did not stop. Wrapped in turbid demonic energy, it pierced straight through the monk who was about to swing the sword at them again, pinning him against the red-painted gate.

"……what happened?"

Zhong Xian frowned and looked at the place where Su Shisan disappeared, puzzled: "What was she trying to do just now?"

If Su Shisan had dared to get any closer to Yu Xi, he would have scared her to death.

But just looking at Su Shisan's actions, it seemed like he was trying to help Yu Xi block the sword energy.

This is not reasonable.

The ghosts who help the tiger are the ghosts. They sent the child to the mouth of the Japanese pig. They must hate the child. How could they do something to help Yu Xi block the sword?

Yu Xi pinched his ears gently. Su Shisan's final thoughts seemed to have not yet dissipated. They were gloomy and mixed with creepy and terrifying laughter.

but--

No malice was felt.

Yu Xi raised her head and said, "Brother, it's strange, she doesn't seem to want to hurt me?"

Is she really a ghost?

But Su Shisan did say before that he would take her to Rizhi and also said that he would kill Zhong Xian.

"There is a problem."

Zhong Xian thought about it and moved his fingers. The ghost energy that had originally dissipated gathered together again and condensed into a palm-sized ball, hanging precariously in the air.

"This is the remaining consciousness of Su Shisan. We can tell where she originally wanted to take us by looking at it."

Zhong Xian is not very interested in the minions, but if they want to harm Yu Xi, they must be killed.

As he spoke, he picked up Yu Xi, glanced at the monk who had already died, and drew out the Burning Sword.

He was just worried about where the monks had gone, when someone came to show him the way.

With a ghost leading the way, Zhong Xian passed through the gate and entered the barrier. The scene in front of him changed instantly.

The door behind him was still the same door, and the place he was in was still the barrier city, but everywhere he looked were collapsed ruins, and the burning flames were almost reaching the sky.

The monks were fighting with the evil spirits in mid-air in groups. In the distance, they could see a giant beast that looked like a tiger with many tails shuttling across the road, roaring ferociously, with several sharp blades stuck in its back. It looked like it wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

And in the midst of all the chaos, there was only one building that remained intact, so intact that not even a ghost could reach it.

A monk in white was standing there holding a sword. All the evil spirits that approached him were crushed one by one by him, and their souls flew away. The sword in his hand also turned into a sword shape and continued to stab at the limbs of the mad Sun Pig.

Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed something strange and looked towards the direction of Zhong Xian.

Before he looked over, Zhong Xian had already disappeared into the shadows of the city with Yu Xi in his arms.

"That's Mu Xiaoran from Xuyun Sect?"

Zhong Xian smiled, but there was a coldness in his eyes: "Quite sharp."

Yu Xi also noticed Mu Xiaoran from a distance. In order not to be discovered, she quickly looked away and said worriedly, "Brother, be careful."

She had seen Mu Xiaoran's strength. As one of the venerables of Xuyun Sect, he had real power and was definitely not easy to deal with.

"Don't worry." Zhong Xian quickly caught up with the ghost and chuckled, "I won't lose to your brother easily."

As both were in the Spiritual Division, Mu Xiaoran's cultivation was slightly higher than his, but only slightly higher.

The difference between the immortals and the demons is that the immortals' cultivation emphasizes the cultivation of Tao, that is, the heart of Tao. The heart of Tao is good and positive. If the heart of Tao is damaged, the cultivation will no longer improve.

At least that was the case five thousand years ago.

As for the demons, they have been doing whatever they want since ancient times. Although not many have reached perfection, they are insidious and unscrupulous in fighting. They don't care about many things. As long as they can win, they will always have some advantages over the righteous.

The ghost shadow floated very fast, and in a short while, Zhong Xian and Yu Xi followed it out of the barrier city.

"Is this a mirror world?"

Yu Xi looked at the sparse woods on both sides of the road. They looked very familiar, very similar to the forest they passed by when they came here.

Zhong Xian nodded: "The door we passed through is a mirror barrier."

As soon as he finished speaking, he frowned and stopped where he was.

At the same time, the floating ghost also stopped at the end of the road.

Standing there was a girl about the same age as Su Shisan.

Unlike Su Shisan, the girl's back was filled with a strong ghostly aura. She was an evil ghost, and the feeling she gave was completely different from the previous evil ghosts.

She was more powerful and more oppressive, and her eyes without whites were staring straight at Su Shisan's residual soul.

The ghost energy around the remnant soul rippled with joy, gently touched the girl's face, and actively merged into the girl's body.

Yu Xi frowned.

The residual soul has no consciousness of its own, and all it does are the unfulfilled wishes of its lifetime.

"I'm Su Yi, Thirteen's sister."

The girl suddenly looked at them and spoke, "You are neither immortals nor mortals, so you shouldn't get involved. Do you want me to take you away from here?"

Yu Xi stared at Su for a moment, not hearing any malicious voice, and quickly shook his head: "We are here to find the ghost."

"Ghost?"

Seeing Su Yi's confusion, Zhong Xian casually continued, "The immortal sect monks said that you would send innocent children to the mouth of the Japanese pig, so you are naturally the accomplices of the ghost."

"Nonsense!"

A sharp ghost cry suddenly rang out, deafening the ears. The surrounding green plants were instantly submerged in the surging ghost energy and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Su Yi's young face was covered with blue veins, looking extremely hideous, and tears of blood welled up in his dark eyes.

Zhong Xian didn't want to see the ghost energy approach Yu Xi. Just as the spell on his palm began to wriggle, Su Yi quickly lowered his head, as if calming down. He only gritted his teeth and let out a cold low roar:

"They are a bunch of scum..."

Yu Xi looked at Zhong Xian, kicked her legs, and jumped down under Zhong Xian's unwilling gaze. She took two steps towards Su Yi, looked at her straight in the eyes, and said:

"If you are not accomplices, where did you take the child?"

Su Shisan said to herself that today, including her, there were eleven children.

Hearing her voice, Su Yi raised his eyes, looked at her with bloodshot eyes for a while, and then looked at Zhong Xian.

After a long time, he turned around and said, "Follow me."

Sue led them through the woods.

Outside the forest, a beast that looked like a tiger but had many cow tails was crouching on the ground.

"Rifu?"

Zhong Xian was a little surprised. The mad monster he saw in the city before should also be a Sun Boar. How could there be two Sun Boars?

But he soon discovered that there was only one soul in the body of this sun pig, just a soul with a physical body.

And on the body of the Japanese pig, several children were sleeping.

A girl in pink was standing next to Rizhu. She was tall and had a bright smile. When she saw Su Yi coming, she waved:

"Has the eleventh child arrived? If so, I'll be ready to go!"

Before Su Yi could speak, she quickly saw Yu Xi, opened her eyes wide in surprise and said, "The new kid turned out to be a little half-demon?"

The moment Yu Xi saw the girl, he was so shocked that he stood there in shock.

"Suzaku?"

She exclaimed in surprise.

Why would her only friend from her previous life appear here? !
