Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

This expedition is the first of its kind for Ji Nanbei.

The reward given was extremely generous.

With such layers of accumulation, the reward that Ji Nanbei will ultimately obtain will surely be astonishing.

The first target is unlikely to be achieved—even if a being at the Nascent Soul stage is on the verge of death, it would be extremely difficult for Ji Nanbei to finish them off.

However, in the second tier, there is still a chance to try one's best.

After all, at this moment, it is Xiao Jingxi's body that is being controlled.

Ji Nanbei suddenly stood up and strode out of the room.

He walked briskly downstairs to the inn, his steps light and swift.

On the way, they encountered a disciple and were about to greet him when they heard Ji Nanbei decisively give the order:

"Immediately gather all members of my Immortal Spirit Sword Sect and assemble them in front of the inn as quickly as possible, without the slightest delay!"

His aura gradually rose, leaving no room for doubt.

The disciple rushed towards the residences of his fellow disciples almost instinctively, without hesitation or even asking Ji Nanbei what he intended to do.

Only one thought occupied my mind:

In short, just do it immediately.

At the same time, the Seventh Elder stood in mid-air, gazing at the horizon with his eyes slightly narrowed.

In the distance, a powerful pressure, like a dark cloud, was pressing down on Luoling City.

The weather, which had been clear and sunny, suddenly turned gloomy.

The air was thick with a somber atmosphere, making even breathing feel difficult.

"I never expected that this matter would be so deeply involved, attracting such a powerful and unparalleled demon."

Earlier, at the very moment the white ape demon was killed by Xiao Jingxi, no one noticed a drop of blood shooting away like a meteor.

The drop of blood quickly fell into a certain place in the Western Barbarian lands and was caught in the palm of a person.

The blood droplets seeped into his hand, revealing the various scenes of the white ape demon before its death.

When the man caught sight of Xiao Jingxi's sword strike, his expression changed slightly, but then a playful smile appeared on his face.

"The successor of Sword Green City? Instead of diligently cultivating within the sect, he's going off to wander aimlessly; he's truly courting death!"

Immediately, his demonic aura surged, and he summoned a group of demons, rushing straight towards Luoling City.

At this moment, the man had already approached Luoling City, his imposing aura like dark clouds pressing down on the city.

All living beings in the city felt a terrifying sense of oppression, and almost all ordinary people and rogue cultivators either fled or hid.

Ji Nanbei led the disciples of the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect to an open space in the city.

The Seventh Elder descended from the sky, looked at Ji Nanbei and the others, and sighed softly.

"A demon race has invaded, likely seeking revenge for the demon beast we killed earlier. You..."

Ji Nanbei knew that the other party was most likely after Xiao Jingxi, so he said directly:

"This disciple volunteers to fight and vanquish the evil spirits!"

Seemingly moved by Ji Nanbei's sharp and unparalleled aura, all the members of the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect behind him shouted in unison:

"Dispel evil spirits!"

In an instant, everyone's will was united, and they exuded a formidable and awe-inspiring aura.

The Seventh Elder nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this.

"This is the spirit a swordsman should possess! Good! Follow me out of the city to slay demons!"

In truth, the Seventh Elder felt quite fortunate.

Because Ji Nanbei handled the matter of Luoling City extremely quickly, not only did he resolve it swiftly without leaving any loose ends, but more importantly, he reported it to the sect as soon as possible.

Therefore, at this moment, there are actually two Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect presiding over Luoling City.

The Seventh Elder did recognize the attacking demons, but he knew he wasn't confident he could defeat them.

But nowadays...

Two against one, in the course of eliminating demons and protecting the righteous, how can it be called a siege?

The Seventh Elder rose into the air, his figure like a sharp sword that could cleave the heavens and the earth, shattering the oppressive aura created by the demons step by step.

At the same time, he pointed his halberd at the leader and shouted sharply:

"Demon Lord Julu! You have trespassed into my Eastern Continent territory, and your blatant invasion of the city is of utmost importance. What are you trying to do? Are you tired of living?!"

The title of Demon Lord is also an honorific title obtained after entering the Nascent Soul Realm.

Just like "True Lord", it is a fixed title.

Clearly, the person's true form was a deer demon, and he was merely in human form at this moment.

The guy known as the Giant Deer Demon Lord smiled coldly.

"My purpose in coming here is simple—whoever kills my demon race's sons must pay with their lives!"

The Seventh Elder curled his lip in disdain.

"Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew! Even if your demon race crossed the border into the Eastern Continent to court death, your demise is entirely your own fault. Even if my Sword Sect disciples were to slay the demons, what could you do about it?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another figure from the Sword Sect's Nascent Soul stage suddenly appeared in mid-air.

"Demon Lord Julu, has your demon race not yet been terrified by my sect leader? Has time passed and you've forgotten the battle on the Fallen Eagle River?"

The Demon Lord of Giant Deer's expression changed repeatedly, showing both anger and surprise.

He read the memories in the blood and saw only three true disciples, one of whom was Xiao Jingxi.

When a true disciple travels, he may be accompanied by a respected elder; this was something the Demon Lord Julu had considered.

However, he was not afraid of a single Nascent Soul True Lord and was still confident.

Unexpectedly, two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Sword Sect appeared here.

Moreover, what the other party said hit the sore spot of the demon race.

The unfortunate character who was cut into nothingness by a single sword strike during the battle that made Jian Qingcheng famous was none other than a demon emperor of the demon race.

Therefore, the demon race harbors deep hatred for the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect and Sword Green City.

This is also one of the reasons why the Demon Lord of Giant Deer came to intercept and kill Xiao Jingxi.

Secondly, it is naturally because of Xiao Jingxi himself.

That single sword strike was enough to demonstrate Xiao Jingxi's extraordinary talent.

One Jian Qingcheng has already given the demon race a major headache; how could they allow a second one to emerge?

Moreover, if we could kill Xiao Jingxi and extract his life essence...

Just imagining it, the Demon Lord of Giant Deer felt that his cultivation would surely increase greatly.

In reality, he secretly bestowed the Blood Refining Formation upon his subordinates, instructing them to go out and cause trouble, ultimately returning some of their blood energy to themselves to aid their cultivation.

Otherwise, a Nascent Soul Realm demon would never dare to commit such a suicidal act in the Eastern Continent, right under the nose of the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect.

Returning to the current battle situation, the Demon Lord of Giant Deer now realized he had miscalculated.

However, there is still a chance to take a gamble.

"Kill! Slaughter those junior members of the Sword Sect! Especially that leading woman; whoever can obtain her entire essence blood will be granted a secret manual of the demon race!"

The secret manuals of the demon race have become so alluring to them that they are almost impossible to resist.

Many demons, even those who have already taken human form, do not possess a single superior cultivation manual.

Because the physical constitution of demons is very different from that of humans, demons cannot learn human cultivation techniques, and demon cultivation techniques are already rare.

Many demons are able to grow to the Golden Core or even Nascent Soul realm mainly because of their long lifespan, absorbing spiritual energy year after year and accumulating it slowly.

Therefore, when the Demon Lord of Giant Deer uttered the words "Secret Scripture of the Demon Race," all the demons under his command went mad.

Seven or eight Nascent Soul Realm demons, leading a large number of demons, charged forward like madmen.
