223: No, no, don't talk nonsense.

Tu Wanshan did not answer, instead, he mustered all his strength and increased his speed again.

The Yin wind behind him was like a soul-reaping specter, getting closer and closer, making him feel a sense of urgency.

Seeing that she couldn't shake off Tu Wanshan, Mo Qianqian bit her lip lightly, a chilling glint flashing in her eyes.

Since you're seeking death yourself, don't blame me!

She pressed her finger to her brow, mobilized the magical power within her Qi Sea, pointed a finger, and lightly exclaimed,

"Chaos!"

Tu Wanshan immediately felt his body lose control, stumbling and almost falling.

Hearing the gusts of Yin wind behind him, his eyes filled with ferocity as he glared at Mo Qianqian.

You Bitch, how dare you harm him? He's got this grudge marked down!

He completely forgot that he was the one who had been relentlessly pursuing the two of them.

Tu Wanshan turned his head to look at the dark clouds behind him, and with a conflicted expression, he pulled out a circular disc from his Storage Pouch.

He tossed it out, and a layer of white light enveloped him.

Just then, the dark clouds swept over, completely engulfing him.

The white light emitted a "sizzling" sound of erosion, yet it remained resilient.

This was one of the life-saving items his father had left him, and he was forced to use one today.

The dark clouds swept past, unable to break through the light barrier, and slowly retreated.

Tu Wanshan breathed a sigh of relief, took down the disc to examine it, and found it covered in cracks, rendering it unusable.

"Mo Qianqian!"

Tu Wanshan gritted his teeth and turned to chase after the two of them.

Don't let him find an opportunity, or he'll make her pay the price sooner or later!

...

Xu Sanyan and the two women hid in a corner, silently gazing at the brightly lit three-story pavilion not far away.

The city at night was dark everywhere, except for this one brightly lit place.

It was obvious there was something wrong with it.

Even if there were some treasures hidden inside, Xu Sanyan knew his place; this was not a place he could enter.

"Let's go around it."

Xu Sanyan gestured, and the two women nodded, following him to go around from the other side.

As soon as they turned the street corner, they saw a figure standing there.

All three stopped simultaneously, and Zuoqiu Zhen's face immediately lit up with joy.

She pounced forward, "Third Sister!"

Xu Sanyan smiled and shook his head, "I truly have a connection with your Zuoqiu Family."

Zuoqiu Hui let out a long breath, then naturally put her arm around Sixth Sister and gently patted her.

It was fortunate that they met Xu Sanyan...

No, Zuoqiu Hui shook her head vigorously in her heart.

How could she have such a thought? Xu Sanyan was a person of the Demonic Path, and as a Righteous Path family, they should be irreconcilable with evil, but now...

It seemed to be getting more and more entangled.

Wait!

Zuoqiu Hui looked at the woman beside Xu Sanyan and clicked her tongue, "This... could this be Junior Sister Zhao of the Siyuan Sect?"

She was getting more and more confused.

How could someone from the Siyuan Sect be with Xu Sanyan?

"You know each other?" Xu Sanyan asked curiously.

Junior Sister Zhao smiled and nodded, "We met once before."

"How did you... end up with the Saint?" Zuoqiu Hui asked tentatively.

"We met by chance, and thanks to the Saint's constant care, I didn't encounter any danger."

"Oh..."

Zuoqiu Hui wasn't sure if she believed it, but she was sensible enough not to ask further.

"Since we've met, let's go together."

Xu Sanyan said without room for doubt, leading the way towards the west of the city.

Zuoqiu Hui's eyes flickered, but she still followed.

She had deeply witnessed Xu Sanyan's power, so she dared not defy him.

She just gently pulled Zuoqiu Zhen's hand and asked via spiritual transmission, "How did you end up with him?"

Zuoqiu Zhen thought of something, feeling a tingling sensation all over her body.

She lightly scratched herself and said unnaturally, "We just happened to meet..."

Zuoqiu Hui frowned, feeling that she was acting strangely, but she didn't think much of it.

She just warned her via spiritual transmission, "Stay away from him, he's not a good person."

Zuoqiu Zhen lowered her head and didn't speak, but from her expression, she clearly didn't agree with her Third Sister's words.

"Alas..."

Zuoqiu Hui looked at Sixth Sister.

Her expression at this moment was exactly the same as Seventh Sister's before, that kind of disagreement mixed with a hint of stubbornness, making one wish they could pry open her head and see what was inside.

"You wouldn't... have fallen for him, would you?" Zuoqiu Hui felt it was unbelievable.

"Oh, I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."

Zuoqiu Zhen reacted strongly, directly issuing a triple denial.

Zuoqiu Hui's heart sank with a "thump."

Oh no, this wasn't a denial at all; this was clearly an admission.

Just when she finally managed to get Seventh Sister to change her mind, Sixth Sister had a problem again.

Are those Demonic Path Yao Beasts really that good?

Zuoqiu Hui looked at Xu Sanyan, truly unable to understand what was so attractive about him.

Good-looking?

Hmm... he did look decent.

Exceptional talent?

Uh, it seemed to be very good indeed.

Strong in power?

Well...

Recalling the battle not long ago, this point was undeniable.

Moreover, as the Saint of the Demonic Path, Xu Sanyan also had power and influence.

Thinking about it this way, he did seem quite good...

A young man with a handsome appearance, decent strength, exceptional talent, and power and influence, it was indeed not difficult to understand why Zuoqiu Zhen would like him.

Zuoqiu Hui shook her head vigorously.

No, no, he was a Demonic Path Yao Beast, a cold-blooded killer who even ate people to heal his wounds.

She must not be deceived by his appearance!

But looking at her sister's expression, she could only sigh lightly,

She would slowly find another opportunity to persuade her.

Xu Sanyan, who was walking ahead, stopped.

The three women behind him stopped in turn, and Zuoqiu Zhen asked, "What's wrong?"

"Run!!"

Xu Sanyan turned and ran, only to see a large group of ghosts ahead, like an army of Yin soldiers passing through, surging towards them, no less than a hundred at a glance!

"Where did so many ghosts come from?" Zuoqiu Hui's pupils contracted, and she pulled Zuoqiu Zhen to follow closely.

No one knew where these ghosts came from.

These ghosts swept past the houses but did not enter, only drifting along the street.

Although the four of them were fast, they couldn't escape in time.

Xu Sanyan gritted his teeth and shouted, pointing at the brightly lit pavilion not far away,

"Get in!"

The three women didn't have time to think and rushed into the pavilion with Xu Sanyan.

As soon as the four entered, a large mass of Yin souls swiftly swept past outside.

The cold Yin Qi brushed against their hair, instantly penetrating their outer clothes, making their hairs stand on end.

Xu Sanyan pursed his lips, looking at the various goods displayed inside the house.

This was actually a shop!

It's just that these goods...

Were a bit indescribable.

"Gulp~"

Zuoqiu Zhen nervously swallowed, looking at the severed limbs, dismembered bodies, and infant corpses placed on the counter.

She instinctively moved closer to Xu Sanyan.

These severed limbs were not all human; there were also various unnamable Yao Beasts, ghosts, shriveled corpses, and ghosts contained in transparent jars.

Zuoqiu Hui also had no time to pay attention to her sister's actions; she was also greatly shocked by these goods.

She couldn't understand what use these things had?

"Brother~ I want to eat!"

The girl inside the Ruler suddenly shouted loudly.

This time, her desire was stronger than the previous times.

The Ruler vibrated, emitting bursts of white light.

The three women were startled by the excited voice and instinctively searched for the source of the sound, finally pinpointing it to Xu Sanyan's arms.

At this moment, a voice came from the counter in the depths,

"Six guests, what can I get for you?"

Xu Sanyan was stunned, six?

Him, Junior Sister Zhao, Zuoqiu Hui, Zuoqiu Zhen, plus the girl inside the Ruler at most, that was only five.

The sixth... where was he?
