Protagonist:

Shen Yao

The two demons started fighting, and even the entire Wuxia Guan was unable to escape the fallout.

Boom— rumble rumble—

Arts flew from her hands, and various overturned sundries frequently appeared in midair. As for the ones fighting, they were fine—after all, their profound mana could handle it—but only these disciples of Wuxia Guan could clutch their heads and flee like rats.

Alas, there was nowhere to escape at all!

What could be done?

"Hmph, hide first and talk later."

Those who had lived safely in Wuxia Guan until now—how could their hands not be stained with karma?

Knowing today's visitors were not friendly, and even the Guan Guan Zhu had only fought the opponent to a draw, let alone them, these tools raised as blood bags.

Not a single person planned to rush up and help the Guan Guan Zhu break out of the siege; at this moment, they wished they could grow two more hands and feet—even if they couldn't run out of Wuxia Guan's range, being faster than other junior brothers would do.

Let the fellow cultivator die, not me!

The sinister Wuxia Guan displayed everyone's truest self and selfishness to the fullest.

Sundries kept being thrown down from above, and occasionally someone would be struck and cry out, which affected the others even more, their nerves stretched taut, not knowing when everything would come crashing down.

"Old man, not planning to make a move to save them? Any later, and there won't be any usable blood bags left."

Ordinary people and bloodline kin were still different; the bat demon had gone through untold hardships to raise these few tools capable of exchanging blood with it, and now they all died unnatural deaths—what a waste.

Speaking, arts flew from her hand one after another, striking the bat demon's chest, forcing it to emit shrill howls.

Shen Yao had long been prepared for this; suddenly she vanished from midair and landed on the ground, then proceeded to face the bat demon's remaining few disciples and unleash a massacre.

"Ah"

"Save me! Master, save me!"

"Spare me, spare me!"

"......"

Shen Yao curled her lips into a cold smile, thinking, begging for mercy? How many people and demons who died back then had begged like that, yet they saw no mercy from Wuxia Guan.

"Next time you reincarnate, you'd better learn a long lesson," and as her voice fell, several disciples' heads also fell, rolling everywhere with a Concern Concern sound.

Bat demon:......

"You did it on purpose," deliberately angering it, toying with it, provoking it!

Shen Yao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, indicating she indeed did so; after all, fortune's wheel turns, such things had always been Wuxia Guan's monopoly, now it had fallen to her side—so what? The bat demon couldn't accept it? Too fragile!

"Ahhhhhh bullying others too much, take your life!"

Black qi spread from its body, the blood-red tumors on its face burst one after another, spraying blood outward, which landed on the ground and corroded deep pits one by one.

The pitch-black bat demon flapped its pair of wings and flew to Shen Yao's front.

"Too slow; it seems your previous opponents were all too useless," not even able to defeat a bat demon with dan poison in its bones.

Shen Yao not only attacked with her hands, she also attacked with her mouth, striking both fronts to deal a blow to the bat demon.

The bat demon was so angry it wished to swallow Shen Yao alive and skin her, but after resuming its demon form, its body was too large; instead of actively seeking trouble with Shen Yao, it was more like being toyed with by Shen Yao.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao continued to verbally assault the bat demon, wishing to use every malicious word she had learned in her life on the bat demon, to provoke it into losing its rationality and let the dan poison in its body go out of control.

'Host, doing this is too dangerous.'

The system watched the host narrowly avoid attacks and successfully escape, and cried out in fright.

'Rest assured, I have my grasp.'

Behind her, vast black qi chased, but always let Shen Yao escape at the last moment.

Though she had ease in her heart, on the surface Shen Yao still pretended to be exhausted, frequently making mistakes while leaving room, the purpose being to make the bat demon think it could succeed, with success right before its eyes.

Only then would the bat demon recklessly pour itself in and let the dan poison spread; what it gambled on was nothing more than Shen Yao being inferior to it, otherwise it should have turned and run far away long ago.

Shen Yao just manipulated the bat demon's psychology bit by bit, until the bat demon belatedly realized, let out a howl, turned around and fled backward, but was blocked by Shen Yao's action and could not advance an inch.

Bat demon:......

"Get out of the way!"

"Hah! It's almost dawn, and you still want to run?" Your reaction is really too slow.

The rune she had been pinching in her hand was thrown forward and stuck onto the bat demon's body; as the talisman light flashed, it scattered and exploded.

The bat demon couldn't even speak before falling backward, and under the huge gravity technique impact, it caused the already dilapidated Wuxia Guan to decline even further.

Bang bang bang!

One sky-shaking roar after another made the bat demon's movements difficult; Shen Yao pursued her victory, arts flying from her hand, completely ignoring the bat demon's pleas and threats, determined to leave its life behind.

Head separated from body, countless black blood sprayed all around.

Shen Yao couldn't help but frown, and after repeatedly confirming the bat demon was dead, she turned and entered the main hall of Wuxia Guan, half of which still stood uncollapsed; following the demonic qi traces left by the bat demon, she entered the secret room beneath the main hall.

This was the treasure hiding spot the system mentioned, containing many of the bat demon's secrets.

Of course, the greatest secret was the xia demon imprisoned here, who knew how many years had passed.

The Cai Xia Dan the bat demon consumed was a type of product the xia demon condensed daily; its importance was not great to the xia demon, but to other people or demons, its significance was extraordinary.

Tsk tsk tsk

'This bat demon, deserved death!'

Whether toward people or demons, it had no empathy; Shen Yao looked at the mess everywhere and the demon corpses, thinking that Wuxia Guan acting this way, even without her, even without the Imperial Court, would still capsize.

A Clear Wind Talisman blew through, carrying away the stench filling the room, and Shen Yao walked while drawing talismans, finally standing beside an oval jar about half a person tall.

Thumping sounds still came from inside the jar; when acting on it, Shen Yao had not given the bat demon a chance to perish together, so these bat minor demons forcibly ripened by the bat demon's own demon blood had not been released.

Just right

A blazing fiery talisman appeared out of thin air, and Shen Yao struck it into the jar's interior.

A piercing howl suddenly rang out; fortunately Shen Yao had prepared in advance, relying on the art of catching a turtle in a jar, and soon these bat minor demons met their end here.

Hah

She patted her palms.

Shen Yao raised her hand to move the jar away, revealing a narrow path beneath that only one person could pass through.

The foul air previously blown away by the Clear Wind Talisman rose again.

Shen Yao:...

Helpless, Shen Yao could only form hand seals with one hand and probe downward with the other, until her gaze reached various bound demons of the Demon Race everywhere.

"Wow, this bat demon really deserves to die!"

To be so un-demon-like; looking at this scene before her eyes, even swallowing the bat demon alive and skinning it would not be excessive.

Shen Yao felt somewhat unable to bear it, but the matter had already happened; all she could do was rescue these demons tortured to near death.

She cast arts to restore their conditions, ensuring these demons with only a breath left could fare better; Shen Yao carefully searched this secret room several times, finally resolving this matter satisfactorily.

Holding the Rosy Cloud Pill sent by the Xia demon, besides that there were also various gratitude gifts from other demons of the Demon Race; Shen Yao simply went the extra mile, sending them all off, then had the system notify Changsheng Daozhang, who was still unaware of this.

Changsheng Daozhang sat at home, and a pot fell from the sky; fortunately this was not a black pot, but a genuinely good pot.

Changsheng Daozhang:...

Changsheng Daozhang looked at the messy Wuxia Guan and several corpses lying on the ground, and suddenly felt confused.

Ah?

The huge trouble that had given him a headache was resolved so quickly; just which divine person liked to act as a High Person, being so mysterious and not showing their face, truly the favorite figure in Daoist Master's heart.

Clearing his throat, Changsheng Daozhang decisively sealed off the surroundings of Wuxia Guan; after carefully examining it himself, he concluded that the behind-the-scenes High Person was a demon.

Mm

Whether demon or person didn't matter; the matter at hand still needed to be wrapped up smoothly.

This matter definitely had to be reported to the Imperial Court and the Prince; Changsheng Daozhang notified Lin Xingzhi, who was still at the Yi Zhan, while not forgetting to urgently send a letter back to Jingcheng.

Lin Xingzhi:...?

Awakened by knocking, Lin Xingzhi stood up and glanced at Shen Yao sleeping soundly beside him (she was truly asleep, after all busy all night with both dueling magic and saving demons), and carefully got down.

"What matter disturbs?"

Lin Xingzhi looked at the sky outside, somewhat brightening, with a doubtful tone.

When the Servant reported it was an urgent letter from Changsheng Daozhang, Lin Xingzhi then became serious.

Quickly scanning the contents of the letter, Lin Xingzhi put on his clothes and hastily brought guards and the Forbidden Army rushing to Wuxia Guan.

"Changsheng Daozhang"

"Prince"

Changsheng Daozhang stroked his beard, pointing his finger at the corpses lined up on the ground, indicating these were the demon people of Wuxia Guan, already resolved by Righteous Persons.

Righteous Persons?

Changsheng Daozhang's face did not redden nor did he pant; he explained they might also be Righteous Demons.

"When Old Taoist came, Wuxia Guan was already a scene after a great battle; especially inside the main hall's Secret Passage there were many demon corpses; very likely the demon people of Wuxia Guan kicked an Iron Plate and were jointly slaughtered by enraged Great Demons."

It was not that Changsheng Daozhang deliberately said so, but in his heart, a single Great Demon was absolutely no match for Wuxia Guan; there must be other demons involved.

Shen Yao, who had not thought to conceal at all but was forced to conceal due to being too strong:...

Fine

Shen Yao continued to sleep soundly, the kind that even the system's shouts could not wake.

On the other side, Lin Xingzhi and Changsheng Daozhang carefully examined the demon people of Wuxia Guan who had become corpses.

Mm, human form could be discerned, but this demon with only half a body and wings left... could it be the old Guan Guan Zhu?

Changsheng Daozhang nodded, "It is indeed the Guan Guan Zhu of Wuxia Guan; this is a bat demon," also explaining why there were so many bats turned into demons within Danxia Cheng; the culprit was this bat demon who was dead beyond death.

"Prince, wild temples like Wuxia Guan absolutely cannot be left alone.

Moreover Wuxia Guan has controlled Danxia Cheng for many years, with means beyond ordinary people; now that Wuxia Guan is destroyed, Danxia Cheng is likely to trigger no small disturbance."

Their most important task was still to stabilize the situation inside and outside Danxia Cheng; best to peacefully eliminate the subsequent influence of Wuxia Guan's destruction on Danxia Cheng.

Lin Xingzhi immediately bowed to Changsheng Daozhang in salute, indicating this matter still required Daozhang's cooperation; he, an Ordinary Person, could not handle supernatural means.

"That is natural; please rest assured, Prince."

"Hard work, Changsheng Daozhang"

The two then began busying themselves with the concluding work of Wuxia Guan.

First order the sealing of results concerning Wuxia Guan, then Lin Xingzhi summoned Wen Guan of Danxia Cheng; benefiting from the previous Lower Horse Power display, they worried these Wen Guan had great thunder buried within them.

Simply have Changsheng Daozhang step forward; cast a probing art; those with it directly resolved, those without were even better.

Fortunately luck favored the Imperial Court; even if the Wen Guan carried great thunder, it was not yet the moment for thunder to explode; whatever despicable means, Changsheng Daozhang could use arts to resolve them.

This, truly wonderful!

As the great thunder within Danxia Cheng was mostly cleared, news of Wuxia Guan's destruction was slowly released.

Among them were those who did not believe, those who panicked, and those who wept with joy.

After Shen Yao finished handling matters at Wuxia Guan, she honestly stayed at the Yi Zhan, occasionally accompanying the three playful children, occasionally going out to admire the scenery of Danxia Cheng, and by the way adding beautiful clothes and jewelry for herself.

Danxia Cheng, due to its unique terrain and landforms, had colorful cloud clusters lingering in the sky above the city all year round; the Xia demons coexisting with the colorful clouds appeared and disappeared, adding a touch of mystery.

Perhaps Shen Yao's Life-saving Grace halo was too bright; those Xia demons who had gained rebirth, after escaping the Magic Window, would still send Rosy Cloud Pills to Shen Yao.

Shen Yao, who had already become a wealthy household of the Cai Xia Dan:...

Most of the Cai Xia Dan were stored in the space, a small portion used on herself and her family.

Like the three children, the children who had gained a new spatial toy these days had acquired an additional means to hide things; every so often they would stage a disappearance act out of thin air. Fortunately, Shen Yao was by the children's side to cover for them; otherwise, such a miraculous method would have long since spread.

"Mother Consort, Mother Consort~"

Lin Chengjing stuck to Shen Yao like a piece of cowhide candy, a pair of large, watery eyes blinking away, both dazzling and bright.

The pearl previously placed in Lin Chengjing's hand suddenly disappeared and reappeared again.

Lin Chengjing was obviously demonstrating the special ability she had obtained to Shen Yao.

Shen Yao wore a face of surprise; even though these days she had already made the same expression no less than several times, Lin Chengjing still took endless pleasure in it, and she could only continue to risk her life accompanying the gentleman.

A pleasant child's voice penetrated the entire room and successfully landed in the ears of Lin Xingzhi, who was just about to enter.

His fatigued body reinfused with new vitality, Lin Xingzhi called out "Yao Niang" with a face full of smiles.

Shen Yao wore a face of surprise; Lin Chengjing called "Father King, Father King" with her mouth, but under her feet she went *deng deng deng* running over and hugged her own Father King's thigh in one go.

Lin Xingzhi bent his waist and lowered his head, gathering Lin Chengjing into his arms, causing Lin Chengyan and Lin Chengjue, who arrived a step slower, to only be able to watch silently.

Shen Yao shot a glare at Lin Xingzhi for still knowing to return, complaining that they had stayed in Danxia Cheng too long. "Wuxia Guan is already without threat; those officials and aristocratic families are also very cooperative." The implication: they should leave, right?

Lin Xingzhi smiled and put down the Lin Chengjing in his arms, then bent his waist and touched Lin Chengyan and Lin Chengjue. Only after the three children left satisfied did he walk to Shen Yao's front and sit down. "Danxia Cheng still needs to be investigated a few more times, to prevent some people from borrowing Wuxia Guan's name to stir up chaos again."

For example, the Wuxia Guan disaster was entirely resolved thanks to kind-hearted people, but Li Guo is so vast—who knows how many wild temples like Wuxia Guan are hidden inside? When he left the capital, Lin Xingzhi was full of confidence; now Lin Xingzhi is deeply worried. Difficult, truly difficult!
