In the distance, in the darkness of the forest, Zhou Yixian and Xiao Huan were hiding behind a tall tree, watching the crowd in the field.

  "Grandfather, why didnt you escape and instead came back to this dangerous place to watch the excitement?"

  On Monday, Xians eyes were still on the scene, and he said in a low voice: "Ive long heard that there are many treasures in these monster caves, but I couldnt do anything about it before. Today, with so many people helping us open the way, how could we not come and take a look? Maybe theres some profit to be made."

  The pale-faced girl with a scowl on her face said, "What if we didnt get any oil and water but instead ran into monsters?"

  On Monday, Xian turned back and smiled: "No problem, no problem. Grandpa has the extraordinary skill of earth escape, water escape, and thousand-mile escape that was secretly passed down by Qingyunzis ancestor. Its absolutely no problem..."

  Xiao Huan said in a low voice: "Cut it out, obviously youre just trying to swindle people and run away with their money, whats with the nonsense about some extraordinary skill?"

  On Monday, Xian didnt notice his little granddaughters words and continued to say with a proud smile: "Besides, didnt you also read my fortune-telling? You said that I have a full forehead, a golden line between my eyebrows, and a straight and thick financial line in my palm reading, which is a sign of great wealth. Hehe, it will come true tonight, Xiaohuan, Grandpa has great faith in your fortune-telling skills!"

  Xiao Huan: *silence*

  "Huh?" Zhou Yixian suddenly seemed to be shocked, turned his head to look at the scene, and saw that Zhang Xiaofan had already sneaked in, the burning fire poker emitting a black light, rapidly rushing towards the gentle and charming woman.

  "Taiji Xuanqing Dao! This young man is actually a disciple of Qingyun!"

  "What?" Xiao Huan suddenly became interested and looked into the arena, seeing that the two were fiercely battling each other. He then asked Zhou Yixian: "Since hes from the same ancestral line as us, how formidable is he?"

  On Monday, Xian Ning looked at him with a serious expression, the greedy smile on his face gradually faded away, and his complexion gradually became calm. He furrowed his brow and said: "This young man is not very old, but judging from his magical powers, he seems to have already reached the fifth level of the Jade Clear Realm. How strange?"

  Xiao Huan glanced at Grandfather, others didnt know, but she knew that Zhou Yixian was not only greedy for wealth, but also had a life of drifting, this insight was extraordinary. She said: "Cant tell that this person is actually a rare talent."

  On Monday, Xian was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said: "I think this young mans talent is not bad, but at most its just average, and he wont be the kind of genius who can open up new paths like Qingye Ancestor. According to reason, with his talent, he shouldnt have progressed so quickly in his cultivation!"

  Xiao Huan was stunned for a moment, unsure of what to say, and could only turn her head back to continue watching the scene.

  The stone on the ground roared and scolded, golden light flashing, and the demon fled in all directions. Zhang Xiaofan, however, rose into the air, with the green and black lights of the fire poker alternating as he charged towards the gentle and charming woman.

  The womans eyes, like still water, gazed only at him. Her snow-white long sleeves fluttered out and surprisingly blocked the poker. The two of them rushed forward, and in an instant, whether intentionally or unintentionally, they were close enough to touch.

  Zhang Xiaofan was shocked, and he could only stare at the womans face, which was as gentle and beautiful as a jade, inches from his own. The subtle fragrance emanating from her seemed to be transmitted through the night air, and her eyes, like dark jewels, shone with a beauty that was reminiscent of malachite and jade, reflecting his own image back at him. For a moment, he couldnt help but feel his heart stir.

  "What did you see in that well?" Even at this critical moment of the fight, the womans voice still seemed to be soft and gentle, with a hint of seduction, softly piercing into his ears.

  Zhang Xiaofans heart was in turmoil, his mind almost taken away, at the critical moment, a flash of gold suddenly appeared on his face, and he immediately calmed down.

  The three-tailed demon fox furrowed its brow, but all it saw was Zhang Xiaofan letting out a loud shout, flying horizontally in the air for several dozen feet before landing on the ground and standing shoulder to shoulder with a stone.

  The stone looked at him and said with some concern: "This demons fox charm is quite formidable, be careful."

  Zhang Xiaofans heart still had lingering fears, and he nodded slightly. The two of them looked up into the air, but all they saw was the three-tailed demon fox still standing in mid-air, its clothes fluttering gently in the wind, like a person in a painting, beautiful beyond compare.

  In the distance, Zhou Yis eyebrows furrowed in surprise, exclaiming: "This young man has an incredibly strong will! Under the Fox Charm technique of the three-tailed demon fox with 500 years of cultivation, he can still remain calm and composed!"

  Xiao Huan curled up the corner of her mouth and said, "Whats the big deal? Didnt you see that big guy seems to be fine too?"

  Xian Dao said on Monday: "You know what, the big guys learning has a lot to do with Buddhism, and the true Buddhist teachings emphasize the way of stillness and concentration, which just happens to have natural resistance to this fox demons mind-controlling magic.

  But Qingyunmen is a Daoist sect, and in this regard, its quite different. With the youngsters cultivation, he actually has such determination, which is rarely seen!

  "Really?" Xiaohuan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then looked back at the scene.

  The three-tailed fox slowly descended from the air, still with a smile on her face, but her eyes had gradually become heavy. Just in that brief moment, she and these two people fiercely fought, and she had already sensed that although they were not very old, their Taoist cultivation was not low, and that big mans Taoist method seemed to be from the Buddhist school, which was really a headache.

  Another young man, however, had an unexpectedly firm determination. The cunning fox-like tactics that he was most skilled at seemed to be of no use after all.

  Bi Yao stood by, originally intending to intervene, but seeing that Zhang Xiao Fan had returned to normal, she stopped in her tracks, coldly staring.

  The moonlight is cold and clear, passing through the leaves, sprinkling on that gentle and charming woman, casting a somewhat lonely shadow.

  There is a hint of sadness and desolation.

  She slightly lowered her head, her long and thin eyelashes seeming to cover up her weak thoughts, as if listening to the faint sounds in the forest at night, softly saying: "I have no grudges against you, why do you want to come and kill me?"

  Shi Tou took a step forward, his entire being resembling a fierce tiger, and shouted: "You demon, youre a scourge on humanity, stirring up trouble in Xiao Chi Town and making everyones heart tremble with fear. Dont you deserve to die?"

  She raised her eyes and looked over. There was a breeze, gently blowing by, lifting the hem of her clothes.

  "Do you want to kill me just because Im a demon?" She looked at Zhang Xiaofan, looking deeply: "And what about you? Whats your reason?"

  Zhang Xiaofan thought for a moment and said: "You are evil in many ways, I am a righteous person, eliminating harm for the people, it is my duty!"

  The three-tailed demon fox fell silent for a moment, smiled faintly, and suddenly said: "Young man, how old are you this year?"

  Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback for a moment, furrowed his brow and said: "Whats the point of asking this?"

  She gently lifted her hand and tidied up a stray strand of hair that had fallen to the side of her forehead, her slender fingers brushing against the blackness.

  "These words, were they spoken to you by those righteous and dignified masters of yours? Creatures like us are always a calamity for the human world, and must be eradicated, right?"

  Zhang Xiaofan frowned, the teachings of his sect were indeed so. The three-tailed demon fox across from him continued to say: "But if I said these words were wrong, what would you think?"

  Zhang Xiaofan hummed and turned away, about to refute with his hands, but in the flash of a spark, he suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Wan Ren on that day, and was instantly stunned like being struck by lightning.

  Is what I know necessarily correct?

  What is truly the way of heaven and what is truly justice?

  "Be careful!" Suddenly, a loud shout came from beside the stone, and the wind started to pick up, accompanied by eerie howls.

  The three-tailed demon fox suddenly took to the air, its white jade-like palm transforming into sharp claws that tore through the void. Stone was about to cast a spell when a chorus of eerie howls erupted from all directions, and in the darkness, countless glowing eyes flickered like lanterns as an unknown number of demons descended upon them, leaving them momentarily bewildered and unable to cope.

  The three-tailed demon fox determined that Zhang Xiaofan was the weaker of the two, and once decided, he drove the demon to entangle Shi Tou first, and then solved one problem at a time with all his strength.

  As the wind and lightning flashed, the sharp claws arrived in front of that young mans eyes. Even from a distance, it seemed as if a low cry of surprise was faintly transmitted. But suddenly, Zhang Xiaofan raised his head, and the three-tailed demon fox met his gaze, stirring something within him. Before he could think of anything, a black staff with a faint blue-green glow appeared abruptly between himself and Zhang Xiaofan.

  The next moment, her sharp claws collided with the stick.

  No one can describe that feeling, outsiders looking on, not even the expected earth-shattering loud noise and movement, in that seemingly frozen moment, only seeing the womans clothes fluttering, her five fingers turned into claws, grasping that black fire poker.

  Her snow-white skin suddenly lost all its color and turned deathly pale, almost transparent.

  Ahead of her, it seemed like a deep and bottomless devilish whirlpool was swirling in the darkness, grinning sinisterly as if to swallow her down.

  She let out a shrill cry, her voice piercing the air as she suddenly shot upwards, transforming into a white figure that finally broke through the eerie green glow, landing in the distance.

  Then she suddenly turned around, with a look of astonishment and a stern expression, staring at the young man and the fire poker that was slowly rotating in mid-air.

  From a distance, Xiao Huan took a deep breath and whispered: "What a powerful treasure! What is this thing, Grandpa?"

  She asked twice, but felt that Zhou Yixian didnt answer at all. She turned her head to look at him and saw that Zhou Yixians eyebrows were tightly furrowed, also with a face full of astonishment.

  Xiao Huan was startled and pulled Zhou Yi Xians hand, saying: "Grandfather, whats wrong?"

  On Monday, the immortal shook slightly, as if he had just awakened from the scene just now, but his expression was still surprised and uncertain, and he muttered: "What kind of person is this young man? How could Qingyunmen have produced such a strange disciple?"

  Xiao Huan looked at him and said, "What?"

  Xian looked at the arena and said, "The young mans treasure is quite strange. When he just activated it, the evil energy was even stronger than the three-tailed demon foxs demonic energy. How can such an evil object..."

  Xiao Huan opened his mouth wide and looked into the arena. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and whispered to Zhou Yixian: "Grandpa, look at that woman."

  On Monday, Xian was stunned for a moment and followed the small rings finger to see Bi Yao standing silently on one side, wearing a water-green dress. Next to her, the stone was fighting with the monsters, shaking the sky and earth, but she didnt look there at all. Her eyes were fixed on Zhang Xiaofan.

  Especially after seeing Zhang Xiaofan holding up the fire poker, his face was even more peculiar, seemingly happy, yet somewhat worried, as if there were some hesitation, with an uncertain expression on his face.

  Xian looked at her twice and said, "That woman has taken a liking to the fire poker, what are you looking at, little girl!"

  "Whats a fire poker?"

  "Thats the young man."

  Xiao Huan was unhappy and said: "Its strange, why does she have a crush on that young man, but Im not allowed to look?"

  Zhou Yi glared at her, just about to give this disobedient and precocious granddaughter a good scolding, when suddenly there was another commotion in the hall. She hastily turned her head to look, no longer paying attention to Xiaohuan.

  In the arena, Zhang Xiaofan saw that the demon fox was retreating, a great opportunity, and naturally couldnt miss it. In an instant, he had already advanced, the fire club whizzing in, the three-tailed demon foxs eyebrows furrowed, her face seeming to pale another shade.

  As Zhang Xiaofan rushed over, the night grew darker and the wind howled louder. The womans gentle face had two faintly arched eyebrows that seemed to be locked in place. Suddenly, she let out a soft shout, her sleeves fluttering as her white jade-like fingers stretched, bent, and curved, pointing like knives, slashing through the air.

  "Ah!"

  A shrill whistle pierced the air, sudden and sharp as a needle piercing the eardrums of the crowd.

  In the pitch-black forest, countless dark creatures suddenly burst out. Upon closer inspection, they were found to be emerging from the dark area behind the womans back, surging forth like a tidal wave, letting out ear-piercing shrieks, with faces that inspired hatred, and charging towards Zhang Xiaofan.

  In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaofan was almost overwhelmed by this monster.

  Everyone lost color, but just a moment later, Zhang Xiaofan actually walked out of the black and oppressive monsters with his stick. The green light from the fire stick passed by, except for some slightly larger monsters that looked like they had some skills and dared to resist, the other monsters didnt dare to come forward.

  Everyone was even more shocked, but when Zhang Xiaofan exerted his full strength to cast the spell, he suddenly felt a wave of bitterness in his heart: this "soul capture" was actually a product of the Yin spirits fierce soul being refined by the demon-slaying artifact. Looking at the terrified expressions of these demons as they faced the burning fire rod, it seemed that what Wan Ren said might be true after all.

  The three-tailed demon fox saw the countless monsters, and it seemed that even he couldnt stop Zhang Xiaofan. His face turned even paler. At this moment, a loud roar came from a distant stone, with golden light flashing, solemn and majestic. From afar, it seemed to transform into the mighty Vajra of the Demon-Subduing Great Sage. With eyes wide open, he rose into the air, and the Breaking Evil Staff was once again inserted into the ground.

  A loud rumbling sound, golden light shot out in all directions. This time the collapse of the surrounding area was even larger, reaching a radius of nearly three zhang, and the flashing rays of the Demon-Slaying Golden Light were even more dazzling and numerous, like lightning flashing and thunder booming.

  In the midst of wailing sounds, half of the stone-encircled monsters suddenly turned into nothingness, and the remaining ones were shocked and escaped in a hurry.

  The stone fell to the ground, and his massive body had just stood still, but he was already panting heavily. Apparently, this powerful magic spell also consumed a lot of physical energy for him. However, he was physically strong after all, and in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have caught his breath. Although he was still a bit short of breath, he looked around and rushed towards Zhang Xiaofan.

  The three-tailed demon fox saw the stone coming with the corner of her eye, and Zhang Xiaofan was also approaching from a distance. With one kick, she was about to dodge back into the darkness behind her.

  Just then, a white light flashed in the darkness, and a piece of white fluttering petals suddenly flew out. The wind was fierce, and the three-tailed demon fox was startled, not daring to move for a moment, and could only stop in its tracks.

  Taking a closer look, it was the young woman in aqua green clothing who had been standing beside me all along. Unbeknownst to her, she had already cut off her own path of retreat. The petals that had been swirling through the air like snowflakes gradually subsided and gathered around her, condensing into a lovely small flower under the clear moonlight, nestled between her beautiful fingers.

  Behind her, footsteps sounded and she turned around to see Zhang Xiaofan and Shi Tou hurrying over, forming a triangular formation that surrounded her in the middle.

  The little monsters that were there before had all disappeared, leaving only her alone, seemingly with a hint of loneliness, standing silently amidst the encirclement of humans.

  She slightly opened her mouth, as if with some regret, but didnt say anything. Even at this moment, her gentle face still had an unparalleled tender beauty that hadnt lost a bit.

  She glanced at Bi Yao, then at the stone, but in the end, her gaze, that gentle and soft gaze like water, still fell on Zhang Xiaofans face.

  Zhang Xiaofan concentrated and was on guard.

  She didnt move at all, but instead asked softly again: "Young man, what did you see in that well just now? Can you tell me?"

  The people around were stunned, never thinking that this demon would be so interested in what Zhang Xiaofan saw or experienced in the well. Before Zhang Xiaofan could speak, a stone beside him shouted loudly: "Brother Zhang, dont fall for her trick!"

  Zhang Xiaofan nodded in agreement, remained silent, and with a lift of his right hand, he was about to charge forward.

  The three-tailed fox spirit gazed at him and suddenly let out a soft sigh.

  Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt a wave of dizziness in his mind.

  The moonlight is like water, shining down gently.

  The woman lowered her head and looked at her shadow, her fine eyelashes covering her gentle eyes.

  Those eyes like water, full of ripples and waves.

  Then she raised her head, stretched out her hand, reached into her bosom and slowly pulled out an object.

  Everyone gazed intently into the distance.

  This is a thing the size of half a palm, round in shape, with a pale green jade ring on the outside, lush and dripping, one look and you know its not an ordinary product. In the middle of the jade ring, there is a small piece of red thin slice, like a mirror but not a mirror, and in the middle of it, there is a clumsy flame pattern carved.

  The whole thing, the jade ring took up more than half of it, and on both sides of the jade ring, there were two red silk tassels tied to the ring.

  On Monday, Xian was stunned, truly and utterly stunned. Xiaohuan felt that her grandfather had never been like this before, as still as a wooden statue.

  She felt a little scared in her heart and quietly pulled Zhou Yixians sleeve, saying: "Grandfather, whats wrong with you?"

  "How is this possible, how is this possible?" Zhou Xian stared blankly at the scene before him, his eyes fixed on the strange treasure in the three-tailed demon foxs hand. His voice seemed to carry a hint of lamentation as he said: "This is clearly the Xuanhuo Mirror, the valley-suppressing treasure of the Incense Valley! This treasure is the most yang and the most firm object in the world, and it is also the ultimate tool for exorcising demons and evil spirits that has been passed down through the Incense Valley lineage for a thousand years. How...how could it be in this demon foxs hands?"

  Xiao Huan was taken aback for a moment and couldnt help but take a few more glances at the Xuanhuo Mirror, saying: "Is that treasure really that powerful?"

  On Monday, Xian suddenly let out a long sigh and muttered: "This world has really changed. The disciples of the Orthodox Sect are holding evil objects that oppress people with evil energy; while the demons hands hold the supreme divine instrument!"

  "Cut, I thought you were being sentimental!" Xiao Huan snorted in derision.

  "What did you say?"

  Xiao Huan Dao: "Youre still spouting such outdated nonsense and you dont even blush. What era are we in now, still clinging to the distinction between orthodox and unorthodox?"

  Xian was tongue-tied on Monday and couldnt speak for a while.
