Chapter 133: What?! My Father Has Someone Outside!
Beneath the scarlet snow, fires raged within Chi Long Mansion, tearing through the daylight, and screams filled the air.
“Help! Monster!”
“Ah Zhen! It’s me! Ah—!”
“Mansion Guards! Mansion Guards! Help me!”
…
Several blocks in the eastern part of the city had transformed into a hellish hunting ground as cultivators contaminated by the scarlet snow turned into monsters.
Once touched by the scarlet snow, one’s spirit would be stolen, and their flesh would be possessed by blood spirits. They would either grow flesh-colored tendrils all over their bodies or sprout countless eyeballs from their skin.
The monsters were not strong, nor did they possess intelligence.
However, for the cultivators in the city now, they were more troublesome than any enemy.
—Two people who were cultivation partners one moment, the next the man turned into a blood spirit and was about to slit his partner’s throat.
—Two people who were master and disciple one moment, the next the master was devouring his disciple bit by bit.
In such situations, many cultivators would hesitate when attacking, or even fall into demonic possession due to inner demons.
The evil of demonic cultivators was pure and unreasonable.
A golden-haired woman in golden Daoist robes gritted her teeth, severed her junior brother’s neck with a sword, formed a sword finger, and set the corpse ablaze with golden lightning fire.
“Junior Brother… I’m sorry.”
She closed her eyes and apologized to the “junior brother” before her, then furrowed her brow and rushed towards the next blood spirit.
She raised her sword and thrust.
A sword shadow instantly transformed into three sword lights, slicing the blood spirit in half at the waist.
A man who was saved wiped the sweat from his forehead and immediately thanked her.
“Young Miss, thank you for your help.”
The golden-haired woman nodded, then flicked the bloodstains off her spirit sword onto the ground and looked up at the lotus flower in the sky.
“What exactly happened? What is Immortal Master Li doing? Allowing demonic cultivators to cause such a commotion.”
“Young Miss, we should find a safe place to hide first. This crimson snow is too bizarre. I’ve heard before that only the Tian Mo Sect uses blood spirits. It’s likely the demonic cultivators of the Tian Mo Sect are behind this.”
The golden-haired woman’s brow furrowed. “How did the Tian Mo Sect get here from the Eastern Domain? What is the Xuan Xing宗 doing? Are their regional defenses just for show?!”
The man beside her looked helpless and suggested.
“Young Miss, please stop complaining. We should first find…”
Before he could finish speaking, a black shadow suddenly descended from the sky, pouncing directly onto the golden-haired woman, pinning her to the ground. It opened its monstrous, lion-like bloody maw and lunged towards her neck.
“Ah—!”
The woman immediately held her spirit sword horizontally, wedging it between the monster’s teeth, and forcefully pushed its mouth back. Unfortunately, the force came from below, and she had no leverage.
Seeing this, the man beside her swung his sword towards the monster’s neck.
*Bang—*
However, before the sword could land on the monster, it was swatted away by a tendril from behind the monster.
“Aiyayayaya—!!”
Seeing her junior brother being swatted away, a look of horror flashed across the golden-haired woman’s face. As the monster’s mouth grew closer, she was helpless.
“You beast!!! Get off me!”
Thick saliva dripped from the monster’s mouth, falling onto the woman’s face.
It was at this moment that six icy-blue sword lights flashed.
*Swish—*
The monster pinning the golden-haired woman was instantly cut into six pieces and sent flying.
Upon seeing these six sword lights, the woman’s eyes widened in surprise. She immediately turned to look at the person wielding the sword, only to see a young lady wearing a bamboo hat, dressed in night-blooming clothes, with her face completely wrapped in bandages.
“You…”
Just as she was about to say something, another monster’s howl was heard from not far away.
The woman immediately pushed herself up and looked over there, only to see a youth wearing a bamboo hat, dressed in night-blooming clothes, with his face wrapped in bandages.
The youth, who had just sheathed his sword, made eye contact with the woman, then turned and continued running down the street.
“Junior Sister, hurry.”
“Okay…”
Watching the two run away, the golden-haired woman quickly reached out.
“Wait!!”
However, in that mere instant, the figures of the two had already gone thirty feet away.
At this point, the junior brother who had been swatted away returned, clutching his chest, and asked.
“Young Miss, are you alright?”
“Inquiring Sword Art and Leaf Shadow Sword Art…”
“…Hm?”
“Those two just now!! They used the secret sword arts of our Moon Shadow Sword Sect!!!” The woman turned her head to look at her junior brother. “My mother always suspected my father had someone outside. I didn’t expect it to be true!! Damn you, you old scoundrel! Over a dozen women within the sect, and you have someone outside too, and you even passed on the sword arts! When I get back, I’ll have my mother deal with you!!”
?
The junior brother beside her heard this, and his features contorted. He didn’t understand the train of thought of his Young Miss, but he didn’t bother and quickly suggested.
“Young Miss, we can discuss this later. Let’s find a safe place first. We might not even make it back.”
“Tsk—! Bah! You old scoundrel!”
…
—
Ye Anping led his junior sister through the streets, continuously clearing the blood spirits that blocked their way with his spirit sword, while recalling the golden-haired girl his junior sister had just saved.
If he remembered correctly, that girl was undoubtedly the Young Miss of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect.
But the problem was, in his memory, Yun Xi shouldn’t have been involved in the Chi Long Mansion plot. Her appearance was supposed to be much later.
“Tsk… This is a bit strange…”
Ye Anping muttered, then filed the matter away in his mental memo, planning to think about it later.
The most important thing now was to work with his junior sister to break the formation eye set by “Zuo Min” in the northeast direction.
After a short while, the two arrived in front of a plaza surrounded by bloody spirit walls.
The plaza was littered with the dismembered limbs of immortal cultivators. In the center sat a female cultivator dressed extremely revealingly, her long hair like blood, exuding a foul, bloody, rusty aura.
Sensing the approach of Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue, the female cultivator slowly opened her eyes, revealing compound eyes like those of a fly.
Although Ye Anping had known beforehand, upon seeing her eyes, he couldn’t help but feel a prickling sensation and got goosebumps.
Zuo Min sized up Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue’s attire, feeling a little confused. After all, in her eyes, these two must have known about the Crimson Refining Five Lotus Formation in advance and dressed this way to guard against the scarlet snow falling from the sky.
“Early Foundation Establishment Stage? Who are you?”
“Just two cannon fodder.”
“Hm?”
Ye Anping smiled slightly, pointed his spirit sword at her, and said with a laugh.
“Merely cannon fodder who killed one of your masters.”
Zuo Min frowned slightly. “What do you mean?”
“Exactly as it sounds. Grand Tutor of the Gu Poison Sect, named Wu You. He died by my hand.”
Upon hearing this, Zuo Min’s upper and lower eyelids suddenly flipped open, and her fly-like compound eyes popped out of their sockets.
“What?!”
