Chapter 187: Blinding His Eyes

Chapter 187: Blinding His Eyes

In less than three days, news of the senior martial brother finally arrived.

Previously, he was in the south, but now he headed towards Qing City.

Qing City was located near the capital, allowing Ye Siheng to dispatch more manpower to search.

Although they hadn’t found the person yet, the bell specially made by Nanli continued to ring incessantly.

Nanli swiftly prepared herself, shouldered her bag, and took out a teleportation talisman.

Upon seeing this, Ye Siheng hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "I will go with you."

If he were just a hindrance, he would never follow along and cause trouble.

However, since he was able to injure the tree spirit and exchange a few moves with the fox spirit, he believed he could be of some assistance.

He couldn’t bear to let Nanli go alone.

Nanli didn’t waste any words, she nodded and tightly held Ye Siheng’s hand before activating the teleportation talisman.

The talisman ignited, emitting a golden light that swept them both away.

When they landed on the ground, they were already outside the outskirts of the capital.

Having more people made things easier.

Ye Siheng had previously dispatched many Black Armor Guards and placed anti-demon talismans in every village.

Once a demon approached, the bell on Nanli’s side would ring incessantly.

Each village had a different bell, allowing Nanli to determine their location and use the teleportation talisman to arrive.

She wasn’t late, as she happened to see Yunzhi holding a fox, attempting to extract a woman’s heart.

The woman’s face was filled with fear, trembling all over, and pleading, "Please... don’t kill me, don’t kill me." Yunzhi’s face turned cold, seemingly ignoring the pleas, as sharp claws emerged from her hands, ready to strike.

However, a gust of wind suddenly swept in, carrying a powerful pressure.

Yunzhi, holding Lan’er, could only retreat.

When she turned her head, her eyes became fierce, "Hell’s Gate, you dare to intrude, very well!"

Nanli tightened her grip on the Xuanyue Sword, unable to see Lu Zheng, but she assumed he was being held somewhere.

After all, the demons wanted to harm people, so they couldn’t possibly bring him along.

The woman who had fallen earlier was already helped up by Ye Siheng, who urged her to quickly hide.

The woman, disregarding Ye Siheng’s captivating appearance, nodded and hurriedly fled with the villagers.

"You harm others by tearing out their hearts. In this life and the next, you have no fate with Lu Zheng," Nanli said.

Upon hearing this, Yunzhi became angry, "Enough! Whether I have a fate with him or not, it’s not for you to say! You, a little girl who knows a bit of Dao arts, think highly of yourself?"

She smoothed Lan’er’s fur and whispered, "Lan’er, sister will avenge you now."

Lan’er responded with a sound and immediately jumped out of Yunzhi’s embrace.

In the next moment, Yunzhi’s figure moved like a phantom, swiftly approaching.

The demonic energy scattered, and if it were an ordinary person, they would have already fallen to the ground in dizziness.

However, Nanli was proficient in Dao arts, and Ye Siheng was blessed by the heavens, so they were not suppressed by the demonic energy.

Yunzhi swiftly arrived in front of them, her ten claws gleaming with sharp nails.

Her hands were filled with demonic power, and with a swipe, it seemed as if she could stir up storms and tear through the air.

The Xuanyue Sword in Nanli’s hand happened to have a restraining effect, causing Yunzhi to carefully avoid it and not touch the sword.

Although Ye Siheng didn’t possess any Dao arts, his power emitted a suppressing force against this demonic creature.

Coupled with his exquisite swordsmanship, Yunzhi momentarily struggled to defend herself.

Yunzhi only anticipated Nanli’s presence, but she didn’t expect that Ye Siheng also possessed the ability to subdue demons.

She could sense the powerful suppression emanating from his soul, almost immobilizing her demonic energy and rendering it useless.

Who exactly was he?

Was he really just a prince?

Why did he resemble those cultivators from a thousand years ago so much?

In front of them, she felt like a helpless little cub, only able to flee with her tail between her legs, completely outmatched.

Now, she felt the same way!

With a momentary distraction, Yunzhi was scratched by Ye Siheng’s sword.

An ordinary sword wouldn’t be able to harm her, but Ye Siheng’s sword was different.

Blood trickled from the wound, and Yunzhi felt a throbbing pain.

She stared at Ye Siheng intently, "Who exactly are you?"

No matter how she looked at him, Ye Siheng appeared to be an ordinary person.

Ye Siheng also found it strange and said, "Don’t you already know who I am?" Yunzhi took a deep breath, thinking that the immortal sect had been closed for so long, there shouldn’t be any cultivators living in the mortal realm.

He must be someone with slightly higher talent, not worth worrying about.

With this in mind, she fully unleashed her demonic power, revealing three tails.

The two figures and a demon engaged in another fierce battle, with Yunzhi exerting all her might, intending to kill Chu Nanli and Ye Siheng.

Even though she was covered in wounds, she never took a step back.

While Chu Nanli fought her evenly, all the talismans he threw were shattered by Yunzhi.

It was clear that as a thousand-year-old demon, her own power was not enough to subdue her.

With a sweep of her tail, she forced Chu Nanli back several steps.

Her two tails then swept towards Ye Siheng.

Chu Nanli’s heart skipped a beat, wanting to intervene, but the distance was too far.

Ye Siheng, on the other hand, remained calm and composed.

He blocked one tail, and as the other one came at him, he swiftly evaded, preparing to strike back with his long sword.

However, suddenly, someone shouted boldly from behind, and a strong burst of golden light appeared.

Upon closer inspection, the golden light was mixed with powerful incantations.

Yunzhi trembled in fear, as this suppression was even stronger.

She quickly retracted her tail and stepped back, but even so, her face turned pale from the piercing golden light.

"Impressive, indeed, dear sir," said a monk dressed in gray robes, appearing to be in his fifties.

He held a string of prayer beads in his hand, emitting a faint golden glow.

Ye Siheng recognized his attire and instantly guessed who he was.

"Master Lingzhen?"

"You actually recognize this humble monk," Lingzhen raised an eyebrow.

"It was I who sent people on behalf of the prince to find you, hoping for your assistance in exterminating the demon."

Chu Nanli spoke, "Master’s presence here must mean you are also pursuing the demonic aura."

"Correct," Lingzhen glanced at Chu Nanli.

He had been in the south for these years, but he had also heard of the exploits and prowess of the Sixth Miss.

Yunzhi breathed heavily, realizing that this old monk was no ordinary person.

Seeing the three of them engaged in conversation, she saw an opportunity to escape.

However, Lingzhen threw the prayer beads and shouted, "All Buddhas, the great emptiness of Prajna!"

The prayer beads instantly wrapped around Yunzhi’s body, like a binding rope, suppressing all the demonic power within her.

Yunzhi felt her strength draining from her body, falling to the ground, and then experiencing a burning sensation as if being scorched by intense flames.

Beads of sweat the size of beans formed on her forehead, and every organ in her body throbbed with pain.

Chu Nanli couldn’t help but marvel, "Master, you are truly formidable."

One motion to subdue a demon, she simply couldn’t compare.

In this world, there truly were people beyond comparison, even beyond the heavens.

"These are just trivial skills, far inferior to both of you," Lingzhen replied without going into detail.

His gaze was deep and profound, lingering on Chu Nanli for a while before shifting his focus to Ye Siheng.

Having cultivated for over a hundred years, he could discern the strength of a person’s soul, and these two... almost blinded his eyes.
