28: Brother (asking for monthly tickets and follow-up reading)

Lian Nishang saw Chen Yuan on the city gate tower.

She recognized Chen at a glance!

The person in that portrait!

"Patrolling Mountain Commandant of Yunlu County, Lian Nishang!"

Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she cleanly cupped her hands, reporting her name.

Chen Yuan looked at the woman in fiery red before him, momentarily lost in thought.

Finally,

Someone could talk to him!

He let out a light breath,

"Patrolling Mountain Commandant of Qingshan County, Chen Yuan!"

Then, his gaze sharpened,

"Captain Lian, please come up for a discussion!"

Lian Nishang leaped, pushing off the horse's back, and flew up the seven to eight-meter-high city wall.

The two faced each other, and Chen Yuan was the first to break the silence,

"Captain Lian, are you injured?"

He noticed that Lian Nishang's Qi was unstable and raised an eyebrow.

Lian Nishang, however, said:

"It's nothing!"

"I should also thank brother for manifesting his Divine Ability to save me yesterday, otherwise those beasts would have succeeded."

As she spoke, a hint of coldness entered her voice.

As for calling Chen Yuan 'brother,' it was naturally a way of acknowledging his strength.

"A few days ago, Chen heard that Yunlu County had a demon calamity, but it was caused by something called the Feixian Sect..."

"At the time, I even thought something had happened to the Commandant of Yunlu County." Chen Yuan brought up the matter.

"You guessed correctly, that colleague did die. Before he died, he sent a message saying there were human demons causing trouble, so the Prefecture Office sent me to investigate!"

Lian Nishang explained her reason for being there, and then shook her head.

"However, my Cultivation is too low; I truly couldn't resolve this situation. I could only barely hold on, and in the end, it was brother who helped me out."

Chen Yuan could tell that Lian Nishang had the strength of Qi Perfection, which was not low.

However, the enemy was rather sinister.

He frowned and asked the crucial question.

"What exactly is the origin of this Feixian Sect?"

"This sect openly worships the Grand Heavenly Venerate of Salvation and Suffering, widely bestowing blessings and recruiting followers. In reality, behind the scenes, they use the flesh and blood of their followers to nourish demonic seeds. Once the demonic seeds mature, they are harvested and devoured to achieve the fastest possible Realm advancement."

"It is a cruel and overbearing Demonic Path evil technique!"

"Then where do these demonic seeds come from?" Chen Yuan asked, not understanding.

"They come from the essence blood of demons!" Lian Nishang looked at him and explained, "And they are demons above the third Realm. Only when a demon reaches the fourth Realm can it be called a true demon. They are bizarre and powerful, extremely difficult to deal with. Those who are powerful and terrifying can even Rebirth from a single drop of essence blood!"

"And this Feixian Sect has reached an agreement with such demons, using their essence blood to mass-produce human demons, turning them into beings that are neither human nor ghost."

"They then widely spread demonic calamities!"

"They must be executed!"

Chen Yuan felt the fiery nature of the woman before him and asked:

"Then why did the Prefecture Office only send you alone?"

Lian Nishang heard this, and her bright eyes looked at him, word by word:

"Because everyone else died in battle!"

Chen Yuan's gaze froze, remembering the previous incumbent and his predecessor.

He felt a little suffocated in his chest.

Lian Nishang seemed to sense Chen Yuan's emotions, her eyes looking out at the darkness beyond the city.

"Actually, you and I both know the ultimate fate of a Patrolling Mountain Commandant."

"However, Ni Chang still feels somewhat fortunate that in this vast darkness, she is at least not fighting these beasts alone!"

She muttered softly.

Chen Yuan was silent.

At this moment, Lian Nishang turned around, looked at Chen Yuan, and asked:

"Since the Feixian Sect's branch in Yunlu County has been uprooted, this matter will definitely alarm their main altar, and they will send Body Profound experts, or even fourth-Realm demons, to investigate. Is brother ready?"

Chen Yuan bared a mouthful of white teeth:

"If I can win, I'll kill them. If I can't, I'll Cultivate for a few months or years, then kill them!"

Lian Nishang heard this, and said:

"Good!"

Then she actually started to laugh!

This laugh had a charm that could enchant all beings.

It gave a completely different impression from her fiery personality.

She smiled and said,

"Ni Chang has something to ask of you!"

"Speak!" Chen Yuan nodded.

"Please bestow upon me a Sword Intent, brother. I have been Cultivating the Sword Dao for a long time, but have been stagnant. Yesterday, observing brother's Divine Ability Sword Intent, my Realm seems to have loosened."

"Thus, I ask for one to break through, so that when the great enemy arrives, I can at least kill more!" She spoke casually and freely.

Chen Yuan smiled.

He stretched out his hand.

The sword on Lian Nishang's back hummed, unsheathing itself.

It flew up!

And slowly landed in Chen Yuan's hand!

Chen Yuan's gaze fell upon this sword, its Sword Qi sharp, glinting with cold light.

The sword hummed, like the sharp edge of the woman before him.

On the greenish hilt, there were no extra decorations, only the finger marks left by long-term gripping.

"What is this sword called?"

Chen Yuan held the three-foot green blade that kept humming and trembling, and asked.

"It has no name!"

Lian Nishang merely shook her head.

Chen Yuan smiled wryly, said no more, and began to mobilize the Sword Intent in his Dantian.

The next second, a sword hum that could pierce metal and stone rang out.

Originally, the sword that showed its sharpness in Chen Yuan's hand, after this sound, let out a mournful cry, and its blade trembled.

It stopped moving!

Chen Yuan injected a Divine Ability true intent into this sword, just as he had before.

After half a cup of tea's time,

The injection was complete.

At this moment, the sword had changed its appearance.

Before, it was overtly sharp; now, its cold light was contained, ancient and ordinary.

He handed the sword to Lian Nishang.

"Thank you, brother!"

Lian Nishang finished speaking, then cupped her hands,

"Then, Ni Chang will take her leave!"

Saying this, she leaped and jumped down the city wall.

Chen Yuan was stunned, feeling as if he hadn't quite processed it.

"She's leaving already?"

At this moment, Lian Nishang had already flown onto her horse and patted the large horse beneath her.

She called out loudly to Chen Yuan:

"Actually, there was one more thing I came for today."

"It was to let my horse recognize brother. Should I encounter misfortune in the future, it will bring me to you!"

Saying this,

The fiery red woman raised her reins.

The horse's hooves lifted high, and two thick streams of white Qi sprayed from its nostrils.

Then, with a 'chirp,' the extraordinary horse galloped away, carrying Lian Nishang, and disappeared into the darkness again.

Chen Yuan watched the red robe disappear, lost in thought.

He hadn't expected their first meeting to be so rushed.

He had wanted to communicate more with this colleague, or rather, comrade, whom he had finally managed to meet.

The other party's fiery style left a deep impression on him.

Such a woman,

Made him feel as if he had seen that Jianghu!

He looked at the darkness outside the city, listening to the sound of hooves gradually fading away.

Then, he stroked the Little Squirrel that had been obediently staying on his shoulder.

"Let's go back!"

.........

The next day, the sky was bright.

Qingshan County awoke from the darkness.

Gradually, Life Qi returned.

Only, in the spring mountains, mist permeated the air.

In the early morning, a goat-bearded old man, carrying a wooden box on his back, walked through the mist.

He entered Qingshan County!

Upon entering the county town, he found a crowded place.

He opened the box.

Took out a folding stool, a table.

And a storytelling block!

He sat down, took the storytelling block, and slapped it on the table.

He was a storyteller.

Specializing in Jianghu tales!
