Jiutian Sect. “Immortal Venerable, this disciple is incompetent. I was unable to find the land of the yaos, but I overheard a very useful piece of news.” “Speak.” “The young master of the yao clan left the yao world a year ago and went to the human world. They might have even infiltrated a sect.” ...
Zhi You flipped the mirror over, covering the Moonlit Mirror with his wide sleeve, concealing it completely. “This sword…” Grandpa Long glanced at the Dragon Scale Sword in Zhi You’s hand and pondered for a moment. “It looks pretty good. Did you refine it yourself?” ...
The fact that Shanghuang Village had included Zhi You in its sphere of influence without warning was not without its detractors among the present yaos, but no one dared to say anything out loud, only daring to think about it in their hearts. The long-lived yaos of the yao clan had a common advantage, which was to mind their own business if they couldn’t win a fight. If they were badly beaten, they should kneel down and beg for mercy and ask to join. ...
“What do you mean by ‘forcefully abduct’?” Jiu Hui thought she had misheard. “You’re abducting civilian men!” The beautiful man accused angrily, “How could you do such a thing?!” “Nonsense!” Jiu Hui rolled up her sleeves. “I’ve only been back for less than half an hour. Who’s slandering me and spreading rumors?” ...
Jiu Hui turned her head to look at the dense forest. A rustling sound came from the forest. After a moment of chaos, the surroundings became quiet, so quiet that even the sound of insects could not be heard. “Don’t mind them.” Jiu Hui put the token back in her pocket and said righteously, “They’re just jealous and saying such nasty things.” ...
“What a clever little girl.” Seeing that Jiu Hui had recognized her identity, the Demon Queen made no secret of her admiration for Jiu Hui. “It’s a pity that you’re not a member of my Demon Clan. Otherwise, I would definitely make you a Dharma Protector for the Demon Clan.” “Your Majesty has come alone. Are you here to persuade me to abandon the righteous path and join the demons?” Jiu Hui smiled as she gripped the butcher knife. “I’m afraid my answer will disappoint you.” ...
“Oh, I forgot to ask you.” Yan Bo stuffed the book back into Zhi You’s hands. “Which friend’s house are you visiting?” “Jiu Hui.” “To little junior sister’s house?” Yan Bo pondered in silence for a moment, reaching out to snatch the books from Zhi You’s hand. Zhi You dodged his hand while holding the books, looking at Yan Bo in confusion. ...
The young demon cultivator started to form a hand seal, but stopped halfway. He looked at Jiu Hui and Zhi You, who had been silent, with suspicion. “Are you really not lying to me?” “You used a demon treasure to capture us, so how can you be afraid that I’m lying to you? Even if you don’t believe me, you should believe your demon treasure.” Jiu Hui leaned on Zhi You’s body. “But if you really want to think that way, then I can’t help it.” ...
Under the sincere compliments of Jiu Hui and Zhi You, Jin Qingqiu gradually forgot his purpose of coming, and the topic began to shift to the Demon Princess and Yin Ji. “The Demon Lord is already old. He has five sons and one daughter. His eldest son died under the sword of Immortal Venerable Bu last year. His second son is the one that the two fellow Daoists handed over to Immortal Venerable Qiu at Lanyue Lake. His fifth son died at the hands of Yin Ji many years ago.” ...
Jiu Hui’s stab was extremely ruthless. She gripped the butcher’s knife, and Yin Ji’s blood dripped silently down the tip of the blade. “That day in Wenxian City, did you kill that Dharma Protector of the Demon Cult?” Yin Ji stared at Jiu Hui. “Several major sects are looking for you everywhere. Why did you hide?” ...
