Chapter 400 – Return to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect

"Of course, we can't just leave her be," Meng Fan sighed.

What Wu Tian could think of, Meng Fan naturally understood as well.

Leaving this woman alone would be tantamount to dooming the entire town, sooner or later.

"So what should we do?" Wu Tian asked.

He also found this situation troublesome. By his nature, he would have simply killed her with one strike, but now he had to listen to Meng Fan, not himself.

Lin Feiyan, standing nearby, was the most awkward. She was the first to enter, but from the moment she stepped in, she had been holding her sword, unsure whether to strike or not.

However, it seemed now that there was no need to strike, so she sheathed her Spiritual Sword.

In fact, dealing with such a dying woman didn't require a sword at all.

A casual palm strike would suffice!

"There's no rush. Let me first check if there's anyone else in this town with demon energy," Meng Fan said.

Then he released his Divine Sense, carefully scanning the entire town.

With his current Divine Sense strength, even a precise scan of the entire town wouldn't take much effort. It wasn't a difficult task.

Moments later, he retracted his Divine Sense.

He could confirm that within the town and its surrounding area of several miles, there was only this one person with demon energy.

Unique!

With Meng Fan's strength, unless it was a Demon King Realm demon, it was impossible to escape his "lawful eye."

Whether he could defeat them was one thing, but avoiding his detection was nearly impossible for anyone below the Demon King.

"Let's take her back to Shu Mountain," Meng Fan said after careful consideration.

Since the woman was already unconscious, there was nothing more to be learned from her.

It seemed the only option was to take her back to Shu Mountain.

Moreover, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect had many seniors with vast knowledge and experience. They would surely know why this woman had such dense demon energy.

Most importantly, taking her back to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect meant he wouldn't have to deal with this troublesome matter himself.

It was like passing the hot potato.

This was the most appropriate choice for a Shu Mountain disciple in such a situation.

Someone like Wu Tian, who wanted to kill at the first sign of trouble, was definitely not acting like a Shu Mountain disciple should.

Slaying demons and exterminating evil wasn't just about the act itself.

It was about compassion!

"Taking her back to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect? That does seem like a good choice," Lin Feiyan, who had already sheathed her sword, nodded in agreement.

However, she felt a bit regretful.

As a Shu Mountain disciple, it was rare to have a chance to slay demons and exterminate evil, and now the opportunity had slipped away.

Meng Fan noticed the reluctance on Lin Feiyan's face and casually comforted her, "As long as you go down the mountain often in the future, you'll have plenty of chances to slay demons."

Lin Feiyan couldn't help but roll her eyes. The key was that she didn't have many opportunities to go down the mountain; her grandfather was too strict.

Meng Fan shook his head and said, "The Sect Master isn't unreasonable. If you explain your thoughts clearly to him, he won't stop you."

Lin Feiyan thought her grandfather was worried about her safety and didn't let her go down the mountain, but Meng Fan didn't think that was the case.

Because there was no real danger for this young lady going down the mountain.

Just with those twenty-plus sword talismans she carried, it was already fortunate if she didn't bring danger to others.

If she went all out, she could easily wipe out a second-rate clan on her own.

It was absurd!

"Wu Tian, carry her. We're heading back to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect," Meng Fan said to Wu Tian.

Wu Tian instinctively retorted, "Why should I..."

But he stopped mid-sentence.

Who else would carry her if not him?

Meng Fan?

Not a chance.

Lin Feiyan?

Seeing the sword talismans in Lin Feiyan's pocket, he hesitated for half a second before giving up the idea, not daring to mention it.

He had recognized his place.

Among the three, he was the most insignificant.

Resigned, Wu Tian didn't mind the woman's tattered and dirty clothes. He hoisted her onto his back and took off on his sword.

Living beings couldn't be placed in storage rings; they would suffocate.

Of course, cultivators with high cultivation levels might not have this limitation.

But this woman, who was barely alive and whose nature was uncertain, couldn't be placed in one.

The three of them flew on their swords, heading back to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

As Meng Fan soared into the sky, he took one last look at the town, ensuring there were no other issues before speeding away.

As a disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, he had to fulfill his responsibilities.

This time, they encountered no further disturbances on the way back and returned directly to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Elder Lin was not around, and Meng Fan had no one to turn to, so he couldn't take the woman to the Sword Pavilion.

In the end, Meng Fan found Yang Ling, Li Xuerou's master.

After all, besides Elder Lin, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect elder Meng Fan had the most contact with was Elder Yang.

"Elder Yang, this is someone I encountered in a town while I was down the mountain. She exudes dense demon energy, comparable to a boss-level entity.

But after checking, I found she doesn't seem to be from the demon tribe. I'm not sure how to handle this.

If we leave her outside, I'm afraid something might happen, endangering innocent people," Meng Fan explained succinctly.

Yang Ling looked at the unconscious woman.

Her insight was sharper than Meng Fan's, and she could tell at a glance that this woman was human, not from the demon tribe.

Meng Fan was only suspicious, but she was certain!

Lin Feiyan couldn't help but ask, "Elder Yang, is this woman human or demon? Why is she so strange?

If she's a demon, let me slay her.

This was my first time down the mountain, and she was supposed to be the first demon I slayed. Now she's neither human nor demon, it's really frustrating!"

If it were someone else making such a fuss, Yang Ling would have slapped them.

No respect!

But she knew Lin Feiyan well, and not just knew, but was quite familiar.

After all, she was the Sect Master's beloved granddaughter. How could the elders not know her?

So she patiently explained, "She's human, not a demon, but for some reason, she's been contaminated with dense demon energy.

If not treated, she will soon lose her sanity and become a demon.

In fact, she's already on the brink of collapse. If you had brought her back a day later, she would have been beyond saving!

It's not uncommon for humans to be polluted by demon energy and turn into demons.

But to be contaminated with such dense demon energy is extremely rare. Even I have never seen it."

Hearing Yang Ling's words, Lin Feiyan lost all interest in slaying demons.

She had been thinking that if the woman was confirmed to be from the demon tribe upon returning to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, she would personally slay her to complete her first demon-slaying mission.

What a pity!
