System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

The two did not respond, but simply stared at the bronze mirror in Wang Ye's hand.

As Wang Ye cast his spell, the bronze mirror immediately reflected the location and appearance of the demon based on the surrounding demonic energy.

The bronze mirror now reflected Jiang Linglong's wooden face and eyes.

Upon seeing this, the three of them were stunned and looked at each other.

"What does it mean that her body has a layer of restrained golden light?" Zhang Lingyu asked, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"Three inches of golden light of merit, how many good deeds and how many years must one have done to accumulate to achieve this?" Lu Xueqi was also moved when she saw the three inches of golden light on Jiang Linglong's body.

"No, there's another layer on the surface of the golden light." Zhang Lingyu opened his eyes and used his Dao Eye Divine Power.

This was quite surprising, "Only disciples who have joined the Zhengyi sect and are recognized and protected by the Dao Ancestor have this."

"Something's not right, is her condition?" Wang Ye wondered.

"Her eyes are struggling, as if her soul is out of control?" Lu Xueqi said, her expression changing.

"No, she's being controlled by someone using Taoist magic."

As Lu Xueqi spoke, she took out the Silk-Entwined Dust-Floating Sword bestowed upon her by her master. With a flick of her wrist, the thousands of floating silk threads merged together and instantly transformed into a white longsword.

"Make a move?" Zhang Lingyu also took out the Celestial Master Jujube Wood Sword.

"Hmm." Wang Ye followed closely behind, holding the True Martial Demon-Revealing Mirror.

"Before descending the mountain, my master told me that the world was about to collapse, and that I and my disciples should accumulate as much merit as possible while traveling outside," Lu Xueqi said. "Although this person is a water spirit, she carries three inches of golden light of merit. Saving her will also improve our fortune and enhance our integrity."

“That’s right.” Zhang Lingyu nodded as well.

"Well, that's what my Taoist master said too. Does he really not know what it means for the world to be collapsing?"

Wang Ye looked at the two of them.

He wanted to find the answer from the chief of Longhu Mountain and the chief of Wandao Longmen, but judging from their eyes, he knew that they knew the same thing as he did.

While the three were talking, the man in the Zhongshan suit had already led Jiang Linglong to the street corner.

Before he even stepped out, the man in the Zhongshan suit sensed something was wrong.

His expression changed, realizing that someone of the same path must have used a magical artifact to detect the girl's aura and was trying to intercept him.

"Hmph, no matter which lineage you belong to, no matter who you are, if you dare to snatch my great opportunity, don't blame me for being ruthless."

No sooner had the man finished speaking than he waved his hand, and three small red, black, and white flags were planted in the three surrounding locations with a "whoosh".

After the battle flags landed, the man in the Zhongshan suit and Jiang Linglong vanished on the spot, leaving nothing but a slight chill in the air.

At this moment, Wang Ye and his two companions appeared at the entrance of the alley, curiously observing the scene.

Seeing that the three were just young people, the man in the Zhongshan suit sneered, "Youngsters, if you know what's good for you, leave now, or today will be your death day."

Because this person came from a side sect and was of a very low level, he had never met the three sect leaders, let alone recognized the powerful magical artifacts in their hands at a glance.

"court death!"

Seeing that the three men had indeed noticed the unusual situation, the man in the Zhongshan suit immediately turned vicious and took out a ghost-shaped golden bell and a black iron short sword from his bag. The short sword had winding and twisted patterns on its blade.

Although Jiang Linglong's soul was sealed, he could still see things outside through his eyes.

When she saw that this person was about to ambush three people, she was immediately worried, not wanting her own affairs to involve the deaths of ordinary people.

"Hey, this guy's interesting, huh?"

"How boring. Why don't you just let me break this blinding formation directly?"

Wang Ye and Zhang Lingyu communicated telepathically at close range, while Lu Xueqi walked silently with a cold eye.

"Just playing around?" Wang Ye smiled, but transmitted his voice to the two of them, "I heard that in this Immortal Path, everyone raises a powerful Yin Spirit. Although the three of us are barely strong enough, we can't take the risk, can we? If this person really summons some powerful Yin Spirit and we get injured, this mission will probably fail."

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Zhang Lingyu nodded. Before descending the mountain, her master's instructions were still ringing in her ears: she must retrieve the lost magical artifact.

"I'll listen to Junior Brother Wang," Lu Xueqi nodded and transmitted her voice.

"Okay, then watch me."

The three walked through the alley, almost brushing past Jiang Linglong and his companion who were hidden in the formation.

However, just as Wang Ye passed by Jiang Linglong, flames suddenly burst forth from his palms, one black and one white, ignoring the array's barrier and pulling the restrained Jiang Linglong out of the array.

This happened abruptly and quickly, almost in the blink of an eye.

By the time the man in the Zhongshan suit realized what was happening, the carp spirit had already been taken over.

"court death!"

The man in the Zhongshan suit had a sinister look in his eyes. He shook the golden bell in his hand, "Ding!"

Suddenly, a piercing and long ringing sound, like ripples, swept towards the four of them, and at the same time, the black short sword in the man's right hand instantly stabbed towards Wang Ye.

"The Bewitching Golden Bell? An ordinary Xuanmen practitioner might fall for it and be seriously injured by your sneak attack." Lu Xueqi drew her Entangling Silk Dust Sword and directly blocked the sword aimed at Wang Ye.

After sensing the man's strength, Zhang Lingyu immediately put away the Celestial Master Jujube Wood Sword, clearly indicating that the other party was too weak to be his enemy.

"How could you not be affected by the bewitching bell and lose your senses?"

Seeing that his prized magical artifact had no effect on the three juniors, the man in the Zhongshan suit was immediately shocked and furious. He looked at Jiang Linglong, who was hiding behind the three, with anger and resentment in his eyes.

"I guess I'm just unlucky!"

The man shouted angrily and threw three pills on the ground.

Bang bang bang!

The pill exploded upon contact with the ground, releasing a large amount of purple smoke that lingered in the alley like a viscous liquid.

"Get out of here, this smoke is poisonous."

Wang Ye immediately pulled Jiang Linglong away from the area of ​​the toxic smoke.

Lu Xueqi wanted to chase after him with her sword, but Zhang Lingyu stopped her, saying, "No need to chase him. I can sense the fluctuations of his escape technique. He's already several miles away."

"Hmph, he escaped quickly." As soon as Lu Xueqi finished speaking, she flicked her sword, and the original white longsword turned into a floating dust once again.

In fact, the three of them did not intend to keep this person. After all, it was not a deep-seated hatred, and Tangwu City was not far from the Immortal Dao Court. They dared not take the initiative to provoke a conflict between the Daoist sects.

Wang Ye breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the matter was over.

Because it was nighttime, the three of them hadn't paid much attention to Jiang Linglong's clothes and appearance when they used the demon-revealing mirror.

Upon seeing this, both Wang Ye and Lu Xueqi were taken aback and turned to look at Zhang Lingyu.

Wang Ye looked at Jiang Linglong's white clothes, white hair, and white eyebrows, then turned to Zhang Lingyu teasingly, "Are you cosplaying her? Or is she cosplaying you?"

Wang Ye wore a meaningful smile as he looked at Zhang Lingyu, whose face was dark with gossip, and wondered if he was thinking, "What the hell?"
