swirling up leaves, dust, and debris—twigs, stones that slammed against my wooden door with a deafening boom. My heart hammered in my chest; I was utterly powerless, terrified by every sound from out...The pain on my shoulders was like being burned by fire.

This is different from the assault when a Corpse Demon transforms into blood corruption, it's a madness that feels like it comes from within and radiates outwards.

If Jiang Qiyun wasn't holding onto my two arms, I would have screamed hysterically.

"Mu Xiaoqiao," he calmed down, patted my face with one hand, bringing me back to my senses.

"Hang in there, I'm here. It's going to be okay." he whispered.

I nodded, took a deep breath, and pushed down the violent surge of emotion within me.

Jiang Qiyun's long sword pierced Xiaomo's head, nailing it to the ground. Xiaomo's head was unable to move, but his body unwillingly transformed into a surging black mist, blocked by Jiang Qiyun's barrier and quickly filling the space.

"I will not die, smoke and mist can do nothing to me! Gaga gaga... Unless you remain here forever! Otherwise, as long as there's even a moment's chance to escape, I can revive again! Gaga gaga... I died from evil thoughts, exist in wicked thoughts. For so many years, no sorcerer has been able to deal with me! Gaga gaga... What about my younger brother Xiao Cheng was captured by you Don't be afraid... As long as I am alive, he can be reborn too, gaga gaga g..."

Xiao Mo's head roared on the ground, and a faint black mist rose around us.

My heart blazed with intense heat, yet my body shivered with cold. I looked at the little demon, his eyes, devoid of pupils, were fixed upon me.

As if mocking my weakness.

I know you are the easiest person to sneak attack.

Because you're easily swayed.

Two thousand years can make Jiang Qiyun's compassion cold and subtle, and he still needs to sit and forget.

Twenty years have passed, and besides making me less timid, I'm still soft-hearted and naive.

Perhaps those who are great have a strong heart, while the weakhearted are easily swayed.

I belong to the weak.

If you can remain indifferent to the life and death of Chang Ning, then you will not give them a chance to launch a surprise attack.

Jiang Qiyun stepped forward, gripping the hilt of his sword, and knelt down. He said coldly: “Since I have been in command of the underworld, the mountains behind Xugu have been filled with the corpses of demons and heretics. Your two lives are nothing compared to this… Thousands upon thousands of years… I will make you wish for death but never find it…”

With swords as their formation, the ground was covered with the silvery brilliance of yin-yang ba gua. The barrier in the sky grew smaller and smaller, the black mist being squeezed and pushed back. Where the sword tips pointed, a vortex of a yin-yang fish gradually formed, spinning rapidly, sucking the shrinking barrier and black mist into the hole.

The mountains and forests trembled, dark clouds parted, and a sudden burst of flames erupted from the nearest high-voltage transmission tower. The surrounding area plunged into darkness in an instant.

Screams, cheers, the honking of cars on the street, broken bottles and curses, shouting declarations of love…

Darkness and chaos, are the revelry of outsiders.

Jiang Qiyun rarely used his great magical powers in the mortal realm. Very, very rarely. Even if I was wronged or bullied, he mostly gave guidance and advice instead of using his power to help me. He wouldn't act like a big shot just because he was powerful.

Only twice.

In the Haiyan Tower's Hundred Ghosts Bureau, our supposed "safe haven" instantly transformed into a hundred ghosts' lair. Upon discovering this, he channeled the River Styx water to flow back up, dragging the hundred ghosts into the underworld.

Now, I'm angry because I'm hurt...

"Mu Xiaqiao." Jiang Qiyun returned to my face, and in the pitch-black darkness, I could see his golden eyes with dark pupils swirling rapidly.

"You, you're just not suited to be a magic wielder who battles demons and evil spirits. Remember what I told you"

Jiang Qiyun suddenly brought up this "old matter".

I nodded, of course remembering: "You said... that I have no talent for learning Taoism, it's better to just look at Feng Shui..."

Jiang Qiyun suddenly smiled faintly: "Yes, I didn't have time to teach you feng shui and Taoism before, and let you see the opportunity and learn by yourself... It was my negligence. I should urge you to study hard."

What

I'm a little confused, what is he trying to say with these words

“Qi Yun… you shouldn’t scold me, should you” I tentatively asked.

Jiang Qiyuns took his sword, bent down and picked me up. He said calmly, “A’xun, let’s talk after we get to the bedchamber. Then…you’ll be the most obedient.”

Pff… *cough cough cough*

"So, from now on, you're coming with me to the Qinghua Changle Realm and the Underworld. Immerse yourselves in cultivation and do not involve yourselves in worldly affairs unless absolutely necessary. Do you understand"

But—what about You Nan and Yu Gui

"There's no need to worry, the two little ones will be well taken care of. You should take care of yourself first." Jiang Qiyun's tone was final.

I'm anxious and want to fight for a chance to go home at any time, but every time I get anxious, I cough violently.

The old woman, leaning heavily on her cane, slowly approached me. She reached out and felt my pulse at both wrists, saying seriously: "Girl, your pulse is sometimes deep and sometimes rapid. You need to detoxify and nourish yourself well."

Well... I looked at Jiang Qiyun's face, he nodded slightly.

So he's going to help me treat my injuries and remove the poison

Can I say goodbye to my family for a moment My brother is still on his way back...

Ji Dou walked over with one hand holding a sword and the other hugging You Nan. He was just here for fun, this guy...

Yunan's hand wasn't holding a long staff, but instead, he was clutching a dragonfly.

“Are you finished Your son is so well-behaved, not crying or making a fuss, much better than that little girl just now!” Ji Dou was very satisfied with You Nan’s personality and even took him to catch dragonflies, taking the tightly clenched summoning talisman from his hand and returning it to Bai Wu Chang.

He saw the injury on my shoulder and smiled wickedly, "Well, even the Emperor has to ask for help sometimes, huh…"

Need someone

I looked at Jiang Qiyun, he said faintly: “Qinghua Changle Realm is the mountain gate you have taken refuge in. Seeking Taichi Divine's lotus pond water can detoxify and restore your flesh.”

Oh... it's alright, we don't need to ask anyone else. Anyway, Taichi Zun Shen, that great deity is extremely merciful and partial to Jiang Qiyun, he has helped us more than once or twice already.

Jiang Qikun opened the door and took me home to pack up some essential items.

The moment we stepped into the room, I heard a sound coming from the courtyard downstairs—had my brother come back

I peered out the window, never having opened the lights, and saw a figure prying open Old Madam Wang's room!

Who was this person I turned my head to look at Jiang Qiyun, who was about to pinch the formula to summon Yin soldiers to block him. Just then, car lights lit up at the entrance of our alley—my brother was back!

Now that's good, what little thief came to steal my house! I quickly took out my phone and whispered to my brother, my brother immediately said: "Xiao Qiao, don't startle the snake, let me handle it! X day's, taste my newly bought electric baton!"

This guy, going out to find peace and pleasure, didn't forget to gather contraband He wouldn't be taking Lin Yanqin to browse the black market for illegal goods, would he

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! all my clansman. I can agree to his execution, but I also need to convince the others.”Mù Wǎn Chén sheathed his sword and nodded. "Alright, Sī Huáng, I'm very lenient with you. You just need to mana...
