Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Chapter 194 Coming out of seclusion

After exchanging blows with Xuan Li, Wuxian left Lanxi Town.

The group watched as Wuxian departed.

"By the way, it seems that Qin Ming took away Elder Jiu's travel manual. He asked me to make a new one for him before."

Laozi remembered this matter.

"Well?"

Xuan Li walked over, and Qing Ning asked with some doubt, "Hasn't it been a long time since we've heard from Qin Ming?"

Lao Jun smiled and said, "He's quite famous now."

"?"

……

A few days later, at Songshan Qingyun Cave.

"Please allow me to use this place for a short while."

"Huh? Not again?"

Infinite, "Again?"

Old Man Jiu stepped out of his cave, glanced at Wuxian, stroked his beard, and said, "You're quite polite, but I don't lend my magic treasures easily. Why don't you try to steal them?"

"Hmm? Is that alright?"

Old Man Jiu, "?"

After a while.

"You bastard! You're actually going to rob me?!"

……

Shortly after the operation was launched, the demonic calamity that had plagued Xingguo gradually diminished.

These demons are all accustomed to acting recklessly and wanting to take shortcuts to cultivation by eating people. Laozi can't possibly kill them all with one blow. In the past, he could only teach them a lesson when he encountered them, and that was all.

However, Wuxian is human and powerful enough that he fought his way through, which had a great deterrent effect.

These demons dared not gamble that this human, Wuxian, would be as good-tempered as Laozi, so they could only cower in the Demon Spirit Hall and seek Laozi's protection.

This also indirectly helped the association grow stronger.

……

Shortly after Wuxian left, Blue Creek Town held a coming-of-age ceremony for eligible young women.

Qingning also participated. This was an ancient coming-of-age ceremony for women; only after passing this step could they be considered adults.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, Laozi took Qingning and Xuanli and left Lanxi Town to travel outside the pass.

The three walked and stopped frequently until they arrived at an inn.

"This is terrifying! First there was that monster, and now there's this ridiculously strong human... what's his name... Su Hui!"

"Yes! That's him!"

Because Emperor Xing wanted to find Wuxian as soon as possible, he issued a warrant for his arrest.

The wanted poster simply had the two characters "Su Hui" written on it, and Wuxian immediately recognized that Emperor Xing was looking for him. As a result, most of the demons who saw the wanted poster mistook his name for Su Hui.

"The Demon Spirit Guild has inns in major human cities, which can be considered a place of residence for demons who like human life. Haven't you been there before?"

"I've been to Yanjing (Beijing)."

Qing Ning sat beside Xuan Li, opposite Lao Jun and west Mu. He was a demon and also the innkeeper of this place.

Holding a folding fan, with an appearance resembling a Western nobleman and long golden hair, he suddenly realized and said, "Ah, that's Manager Xia's territory."

"There are many humans living there too, so why are all the fairies here at Curator Ximu's place?"

Qingning asked in confusion.

“Yanjing has many cultivators and is the seat of imperial power. Not all demons can take human form, and many who don’t know how to live in a city will come to our small towns to get used to it first.”

"Is that Laozi?"

"yes……"

"Wow!"

A large number of demons gathered in the inn, discussing the matter animatedly. After all, Laozi was elusive and unpredictable; ordinary demons had never seen him before, and even if they did, they might not recognize him.

"Why would Laozi come here?"

"Are you stupid or what...?"

"What are you saying? This is a guild hall..."

The fairy who asked the question was looked down upon. The Fairy Guild was founded by Laozi, so asking such a question was indeed a bit abrupt.

"Is that woman human?"

"I heard that Laozi took in a human disciple, it must be her. But speaking of humans... that monster rumor seems to be related to Laozi as well."

On the second floor of the inn, Lao Jun and the others, though seemingly unconcerned, still overheard the conversation between the demons.

Shopkeeper Ximu took a sip of tea and explained, "Those guys downstairs just arrived recently. After eating some food, they found that human food is really delicious, so they've decided to stay here."

"Hahaha, this is not bad either."

Lao Jun's eyes flickered slightly. "I heard that many of them have been attacked by Infinite forces recently. By the way, is there any news about Qin Ming?"

"Hahahaha, I'd like to meet you sometime."

"I'm about the same age as Wuxian, want to give it a try?"

Xuan Li looked at west Mu and said.

west Mu sipped his tea. "It's just a meeting. Why fight? We can't win."

Setting down his teacup, Ximu began a private conversation with Laojun. "The one you mentioned is quite extraordinary now. Because he is so amazing, many demons don't even dare to mention his name. Some demons even spread rumors that he has already been deified. However, no demons question his escape from Naga anymore."

Lao Jun paused, somewhat surprised, and asked, "What did he do?"

"It seems he's been searching everywhere for immortal demons to fight. At first, he sent them to the Battle Commander Palace, but those immortal demons are all arrogant and wouldn't go to Blue Creek Town. Heh... Later, he just started fighting directly. He's a healer, so he heals the demons after each fight. Although he didn't kill indiscriminately, those demon immortals have gone into hiding and rarely venture out anymore."

"Were they all defeated?"

Lao Jun pressed for an answer.

There are definitely many immortal demons in this world, and their spiritual abilities are incredibly diverse. He wouldn't even dare to say that he could see through every single one of them.

Defeating so many demons and immortals is no easy task.

"Ah."

Shopkeeper Ximu's gaze narrowed slightly as he explained, "What truly made him famous throughout the demon realm was that time in Yanjing. He declared war on twenty-three demon immortals simultaneously, resulting in thirteen being severely injured, and the rest either fleeing or sustaining injuries. It was quite a shock to the demon realm. However, it is said that some of them also have divine backgrounds."

Has anyone made a move?

"do not know."

Ximu shook his head. Even the guild couldn't possibly have such accurate information, but he still said, "However, there are rumors that a fairy from the guild once discovered a battlefield where a great battle took place, suspected to be the work of a fire-type deity. The battle lasted for three days, but no one knows who it was."

"Fire element?"

Laozi's first thought was of two gods.

One was an acquaintance of his, Emperor Yan, and the other was... Nezha.

Both of them are gods who specialize in fire magic, and their strength is unpredictable. It's possible that they might make a move, but they should both be careful.

"However, since then, we've heard very few rumors about him. Some say he offended a god, was seriously injured, and went into hiding; others say..."

west Mu's eyes flashed. "There are also rumors that that person has been deified, after all, what he did was indeed quite frightening."

"The conferment of titles upon gods is not so easy."

Lao Jun shook his head slightly, denying this possibility.

He could cultivate himself into an immortal, but becoming a god was something even he couldn't control; it depended on fate.

Ximu nodded, then suddenly paused.

"how?"

west Mu nodded slightly, seemingly in contact with another fairy. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said, "It's a guild hall in the north. They said they found traces of Qin Ming, and it seems... he went to the Northern Region."

"Ok?"

Lao Jun frowned slightly, but then shook his head and stopped paying attention.

Although he hadn't known or interacted with Qin Ming for long, he knew what Qin Ming was capable of.

He wasn't too worried, as even he couldn't see through Qin Ming's abilities.

"Let's talk about something else. Have you figured out the source of that spiritual energy?"

"No."

Shopkeeper Ximu shook his head slightly, "It's similar to what Elder Mo said. They themselves don't know either. In short, they inexplicably have a lot more spiritual energy, making their cultivation easier."

"Then where is the source of spiritual energy?"

"Couldn't find it, it must be used up."

Lao Jun hesitated for a moment, "Is that really so..."

Shopkeeper Ximu didn't take it seriously, saying, "Didn't the appearance of ebony twenty years ago also cause a similar effect?"

“At least the source was clear that time, unlike this time, which has a wide range and we didn’t even notice anything unusual before.”

"But it's ultimately a minor matter and won't amount to much."

"..."

I hope so...
