The palace-like buildings suppress evil spirits and monsters.

Book 1: 118. Asymptotic Approach

Liuyin Mansion is quite large, but it can't compare to the ancestral temple of Lady Baifeng.

But if measured by the standards of a palace, this palace is very, very large.

A giant willow tree plunges straight into the golden sea of ​​clouds, its dense branches drooping gently, swaying in this windless place.

Willow Shade Mansion was somewhat empty, with nothing else besides the buildings that looked like they were made of wood and willow branches.

Some willow branches gently wrapped around the cat demons, tightly binding them and suspending them in mid-air.

This also includes the evil creature that the cat demon had just summoned, which was now suspended in mid-air by willow branches.

Bai Qian does not have a physical body in Liuyin Mansion; she views this not-so-large world through a perspective similar to that of God.

If you want, you can easily control this world with your fingers.

However, she had no interest in such things, so she simply cast her gaze lightly over the figures hanging in mid-air by willow branches, and after confirming the purpose of the Willow Shade Mansion, she casually withdrew her gaze.

Let's turn our attention back to reality, or rather, to the middle-aged man opposite us.

Cold sweat dripped down the man's face, especially when he felt Bai Qian's somewhat cold gaze.

Bai Qian didn't say anything, but Bai Yao next to her was already looking at him with a cold face.

I truly never expected this to happen.

So, she was just wondering what Bai Fengcheng's county magistrate was doing here. She thought he was here to thank Xiaoqian, since Xiaoqian had single-handedly pulled Bai Fengcheng back from the abyss.

The county magistrate felt the gaze falling on him and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"They came to me with an order from Liangdu, saying they wanted me to do something for them. I really didn't know this would happen," he hurriedly explained.

This was naturally a lie; he still knew what these cat demons wanted to do.

Knowing is one thing, but doing nothing or saying anything is another.

Ordinary people are not aware of these things and are not very sensitive to them, but as the magistrate of Baifengcheng, he could not possibly be unaware of them.

The leadership has changed; now it's demons in charge.

Therefore, when faced with this group of monsters who might have come from above, the county magistrate was naturally very respectful and simply obeyed whatever they wanted to do.

The Huang family of Baifeng City and the Baifeng Temple have the final say; it's not my place as the county magistrate to interfere. Besides, the current raging tide outside still needs Lady Baifeng to deal with it.

Anything is fine between them, as long as it doesn't harm an insignificant person like myself.

Then I heard early this morning that E Chao and Bai Feng Niangniang, the two parents of Bai Fengcheng, are now gone. This should be considered a good thing, right?

The premise is that the cat demons didn't tell him that they wanted him to help them deal with the people who were Bai Fengcheng's parents.

In just half a morning, the rumors have almost spread that he's a sword immortal. Of course, the county magistrate doesn't know for sure whether he's actually a sword immortal, since he didn't see him with his own eyes. He can only hope that these cat demons are reliable.

Unsurprisingly.

"Tell me, what happened?" Bai Yao asked, her eyebrows furrowed.

Bai Qian, who was standing next to Pei Huan, took the handkerchief that Pei Huan handed her and wiped her greasy lips.

She immediately understood the reason from the man's wandering thoughts, but after thinking for a moment, she didn't explain. Instead, she picked up a piece of peanut from the table next to her and put it in her mouth.

"It was these cat demons who threatened me," the county magistrate said with a mournful face, though he knew he couldn't claim ignorance at this point.

"They came from Liangdu. As for their purpose, I'm not quite sure. I only know that they threatened me to come here."

Thinking about it, it was probably just to get closer to this place, although Bai Yao felt it was really unnecessary.

"When did they meet you..." Bai Yao hadn't finished speaking when she saw the token at the man's waist light up slightly.

A faint blue light emanated from the token.

Blood splattered on the ground, and the man plunged his fingers cleanly into his own throat.

His fingers were firmly inserted into the flesh, disappearing into the throat.

He made incomprehensible sounds, but could only spit out blood and foam.

The token fell to the ground with the sound of the man's body also falling to the ground.

Bai Yao remained silent for a moment as she watched this scene.

Bai Qian glanced at the token that had spun around and fallen to the ground.

Bai Yao wasn't actually surprised by the origins of these cat demons; she had encountered them before, and they were simply cat demons from the Hundred Demon Pavilion.

But the question is, am I really that important? Is it worth these cat demons going to such lengths to be so concerned about me?

With this question in mind, Bai Qian stood up and picked up the token from the ground.

can't read.

It was a strange symbol, or perhaps a character, but Bai Qian couldn't recognize what it was.

He picked up the token and examined it closely; the token felt somewhat cold to the touch.

Bai Yao, who was standing next to him, glanced at the token.

"This character is the ancient form of 'Ning,' which should represent a powerful demon from Liangdu," he explained to Bai Qian.

"Mm." Bai Qian nodded and put the token into her pocket.

Bai Yao glanced at the girl's delicate and flawless profile, pondering whether to proceed with the previous plan.

The arrangement mentioned here is to teach Bai Qian to read, but Xiao Qian doesn't seem very interested in this.

Pei Huan, who was standing nearby, walked over to the county magistrate's body and poked at the man's corpse with her finger.

"...Let's set off in a bit." Her expression was a little strange.

"Although the imperial court is now somewhat out of control, this person is still an official appointed by the court. If he dies here like this... tsk."

Pei Huan glanced around.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the restaurant besides them at the moment, but this matter would definitely not be kept secret later.

"Don't worry about that, just prepare to leave later," Bai Yao said.

"The current imperial court probably doesn't have time to deal with these things at all."

"Alright, I'll go find someone to arrange it now." Pei Huan nodded.

"Are we going straight to the county town now?" Bai Qian asked, as if she had suddenly thought of something.

"Hmm, is there anything else Xiaoqian needs to do?"

"I vaguely remember now." Bai Qian nodded.

I did recall some things.

"Then I'll go out for a bit and be right back?" Standing in front of Bai Yao, tiptoeing as she let Bai Yao straighten her collar and long hair, Bai Qian said.

"We'll wait for you." Bai Yao didn't ask what was going on, and said after helping Bai Qian tidy her slightly messy hair.

"It should be soon, right?" Bai Qian tilted her head slightly and answered uncertainly.

"Will you come back for lunch?"

"can."

"What to eat?"

"Ribs."

"I'll go and take a look later."

----

Bai Qian came out because she remembered that since she was leaving, she should clean up the surrounding area first.

There are still some ghosts left in Bai Fengcheng, so we can take this opportunity to clean them up.

Besides these elusive ghosts lingering in Baifeng City, there are also the wolf demons mentioned by the fox demons earlier.

So, does that mean the wolf demon leading that pack of ghostly heads was also a wolf demon from that mountain?

Bai Qian wasn't quite sure, but it didn't matter.

It doesn't matter whether there's a relationship between the two parties or not; once you run into them, a relationship will form even if there isn't one.

Dying at the hands of the same person can be considered a relationship, right?

I stepped out the door.

Without any further hesitation, he picked up the peach blossom branch and randomly chose a direction to walk over.

They easily found the elusive ghost wandering at the alley entrance.

When Bai Qian saw it, it also noticed Bai Qian and was about to stagger over to her when...

The branch swung down, and the moon-white flames engulfed it.

With her dark eyes reflecting the burning moon-white flames, Bai Qian turned and left.

It's time to go to that pack of wolf demons.

Volume 1: Chapter 119, Sword Qi Slaughters the Mountain

The Yinshan Mountains, where the wolf demon resided, were much taller than the Xishan Mountains, where the fox demon lived.

After all, compared to the fox demons, this group of wolf demons is much stronger in terms of both territory and power. In fact, compared to the distance to Bai Fengcheng, Yinshan is much closer. If they really have a craving, they can easily come to Bai Fengcheng and capture some people for a snack.

On ordinary days, they would capture people from the surrounding villages and bring them up the mountain to be used as toys or food.

It could even be said that wolf demons have captured far more people than fox demons.

But right now, it's not really the time to be so leisurely.

“We can’t get in touch with our eldest brother. I heard him say before that he and his men surrounded Bai Fengcheng, but now… I heard from the wolf cubs below that there are no more ghosts around Bai Fengcheng.” In a spacious hall, several wolf demons were talking to each other.

"We can't get in touch with my older brother at all?"

"Yes, we really can't get in touch with them. If we could, I wouldn't have called everyone here." The wolf demon sitting in the middle looked worried.

“But even if you call us here, it won’t do any good. If even our eldest brother can’t handle the enemy, then we can’t do anything about it.”

"That's true, but right now we definitely need to work together to find a solution, right? We can't just do nothing, can we?"

"Everyone should know what happened to that group of fox demons. Yesterday, all the fox demons on the mountain disappeared during the day, leaving behind corpses all over the mountain."

"Let's try again later and find our eldest brother..." The wolf demons in the hall hadn't even finished speaking.

All the wolf demons stood up at the same time and walked out of the hall without prior arrangement.

This was not an order; it was more of an instinctive reaction.

A very clear perception.

They stepped out of the hall, which was located on the top of Yinshan Mountain. Once outside the hall, they could see most of Yinshan Mountain.

Then, after they left the hall, they saw Bai Qian floating quietly in the air.

Her white dress fluttered in the wind, her slender white fingers holding a peach blossom branch. Black peach petals drifted gently down with the breeze, and she looked down at everything at her feet.

If artists were to depict this scene, they could certainly create a masterpiece that will be passed down through generations. However, none of the wolf demons present understood this, and even if they did, there was no time for them to create such a work.

Almost the instant they emerged from the hall, Bai Qian, who was waiting outside, waved down the peach blossom branch in her hand.

The moon-white sword energy transformed into wind, flowing through the air.

It was as if the spring breeze was blowing from the heavens, a breath of air sent to the human world by the Green Emperor.

But it is neither gentle nor slow.

The wolf demons began to flee almost the instant they saw the girl in white wave down the peach blossom branch.

The moon-white light drifted gently, carried by the spring breeze.
